so you're using 30 boxes. That's really great. But do you know how to edit and add information to your events? Well, stay tuned because we're going to show you how to do that. Log in to your 30 boxes account and go to the meeting we scheduled on the 4th with Dustin. Hover over that meeting, click on the button for edit and a page for editing the meeting appears. The first thing we're going to do is change the date. We're going to change it from April 4th to April 5th. That will be the start of the appointment. And we're going to decide that April 7th is when it will end. Next, you want to put some time dimensions on this appointment. So this meeting will begin at 2pm and it will go until 4pm. If we mark it private that means we're not inviting anybody. We've decided to send reminders out five minutes ahead of time. There are many options there. We can also decide on the frequency of occurrence of the meeting. It can be daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. We can also choose several dates using the mock date picker. We have selected and decided to use April 19th instead of the 4th. Next, we close this page. And so there you see it. The meeting has moved from the 4th and is now on the 19th. Or you can decide that you've changed your mind. Click on the trash can and decide to delete just this event or delete all of the events while we've decided to delete them all. So when we go back to our calendar, we see that the meeting scheduled for Dustin is gone. A very simple process.


Statistics and Excel. Calories, data, statistics, sample, example. Get ready, taking a deep breath, holding it in for 10 seconds and looking forward to a smooth soothing Excel. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's OK because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet, possibly being able to get sample data sets from Kaggle.com. That's K-A-G-G-L-E.com. If you do have access to this workbook, three tabs down below. Example, practice blank. Example, in essence, answer key. Practice tab, having pre-formatted cells so we can get right to the heart of the practice problem. The blank tab, just having our data set so we can practice formatting cells within Excel as we work through the practice problem. Let's go to the example tab to get an idea of what we will be doing. We've got our data set, which we will make a table out of. This is calories, our related data set. We're going to imagine that this is the entire population data set on the left-hand side. We'll make a histogram from it. We'll make an average of that entire data set. Then we want to take samples of this data set to see how closely the samples mirror the results of the full data set. And we're going to be practicing how we can basically take randomized samples from what we're imagining is our whole data set. And this is similar to what we've seen in the past but slightly different because we want to basically, we can use our randomized numbers but then we want to line them up to line items on the actual data set. So we can then put our random numbers next to the entire data set to use that to scramble the data set in basically a random method. And then we'll imagine how we can use this tool so that we can pull multiple samples together. So then we'll do multiple samples here that we will be pulling together. It looks like we have samples of 20 or 19 or 20. And then we'll make a whole bunch of those samples together to practice that method of sampling. And then we'll see what the results of that sample are. So let's go to the blank tab and I'm going to delete this. So here's our data on the left. Now it's currently sorted by date. So we're tracking in essence calories here. By day we're going to imagine this is our full data set. So let's insert a table. So I'm going to go to the insert tab up top. We're going to go to the tables and insert a table. So it's going all the way from A1 to 458. So fairly long data set but not huge. I'm going to say okay. So there's our data set. It's currently sorted by date. We could sort it by calories to see lowest to highest and then highest to lowest. So we could do that. And then, or we can sort it back by the date over here. Lowest to highest. And then we're going to take that data and do some calculations from it. Let's do our standard average. I'm going to pull in column C, bringing that in a bit. And our standard kind of calculations then would be the average or mean. Before I do this, by the way, I should have done this first. I'm going to format the entire worksheet. So let me put my cursor over here on the triangle. This is going to mess up the date formatting. So we'll see how to deal with that. I'm going to right click. I'm going to format the entire worksheet. And I'm going to go then to my baseline formatting which I would like to be the currency, negative numbers bracketed and red. And I don't think we need the decimals. So I'll remove the decimals and no dollar sign. So I'm going to say, okay, when I do that, it's going to mess up the date formatting over here. So I'm going to go, okay. So messed up the date formatting. Then I'll just select this entire column and go to the home tab, number group. And in this dropdown, this is like the quick formatting. I can find then the date. So I can go down to the short date and it'll populate it back to the date. So that looks good. Let's make this one white on the font. Okay, and normally I would like to do that to the sheet before I add the actual data possibly, if possible. And that will make things a little bit faster sometimes. Then I'm going to select the calories and or let's calculate our average first. Let's go to the average, average or mean. So the average is mean. I'm going to pull this to the right and we'll say this equals the average. There's our function. Double click in the function, selecting just the numbers. So we have the dropdown in our table. So we're picking up the table of calories. That's it, enter. Then we might want the median. We'll use our median function, equals the median. I'm doing this fairly quickly because we've seen these in the past. Double click in the median, selecting our data and enter. So there's the median. We might want the min, or let's take the max first. Max and then the min equals the max. Double click in the max function and then selecting our data. That's the top calorie. And then the min. Equals and then min, selecting the min and the data. And there's the min, zero. Okay, so let's select the entire data here. I'm going to make it bold, home tab font group. I'll bold it. I'm also going to scroll in. I'm scrolling just a little, that looks pretty good. Let's enter a histogram now. So I'm going to select the entire data and go to the insert tab and the charts will make a histogram. So there's our histogram of the data. I'll delete the title. I'll make this data blue and bordered as is normally our custom. So I'm going to go to the insert tab, I'm sorry, home tab, font group, bucket dropdown. If you don't have that blue, it's in the more colors, standard. And there's the blue I'll use and then okay, let's put some borders around it, home tab, font group and put some borders around it. So there we have it and there's our chart. Okay, so now let's create our sample. So if I wanted to make a random sample of these numbers, then what I could do is say, I'm going to put this next to a column where we randomly generate numbers and then organize the randomly generated numbers in order so it will shuffle the calories column randomly. And then we can pick the numbers. Now, if I want to do multiple samples, then we can make multiple of these kind of random shuffling tools. So let's try doing that. I'm going to select the entire column, column B, right click and copy and I'm going to put that over here somewhere. I'll put it over here in M, right click. I'm going to paste it just one, two, three because I'm going to put a different table around it. And then here's my random shuffle. My random shuffle tool will be over here. I'm going to use just the normal random shuffle generator equals RAND double clicking that. And then I'm just


The mind is abstract, it's expansive. The mind is not in the body. The mind isn't even the brain. There's all kinds of associations that the deceived mind is made. Thinking about the brain is where thinking takes place. The brain is just following, it's getting these impulses and it's getting directions from the mind. Where is the mind? The mind is just this vast, powerful, unlimited thing. And the body is like a teaching learning device. It just follows orders from the mind. So, that literally when we perceive problems as being, you know, someone did something to me or what do I got to do next? You know, we're still looking down, looking at the body in a sense like the body is autonomous. And like, it can make decisions on its own, it can think, it can do things, it can feel things. Psychology, I learned in physiology, you know, that the body has instincts, you know, the reflex instincts and hunger and thirst and warmth and sexual drives and everything. You know, I learned that the body had instincts and I get to page 52 of the course. Like, okay, get an opportunity to unlearn that. Jesus, the master psychologist, you know, in the 52 of the Old Text says that these body appetites are not in the body at all. That's the ego is literally working through the body to gratify itself. It's like, okay, now I've got to get back into my mind where the ego is. This thing is miscreating and is using the world for its purposes to keep me bound in time. And I've got to find out about how this ego works. I've got to find out about its thought system. So, I can disidentify from it or I can withdraw my investment in it. So, really, the key question is always what is it for? Because in the mind there is this thing called purpose. And the ego has a purpose and it's very bent on its purpose. It wants to reinforce the separation as being real. And it will use everything in the world, including the body, to reinforce the belief that the world is real and that the separation is happening. And the Holy Spirit's only purpose is forgiveness. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to look on all things to withdraw the attachment and the judgments of the world. And so, really, the deeper you go in the course, you start to get this thing of like, that question, what is it for? It starts to come up more and more and more. What is it for? When I'm making this phone call to this friend now, Jesus in the workbook says at the superficial level, you do think you understand purpose. You really think that when you're making a phone call that you're trying to reach another person or another body that's not in the proximity. It's like, I know what a phone's for. But he says then it's like, okay, then the next line is, he says, but there is no purpose at these levels. It's like, oh, it's just once again, I do not know what anything is for. Those kind of ideas that we think we know how things work in this world and what they're for. He says, you really don't know what you want to reach him for. See how he shifts from a phone is an object that you use to reach somebody who's not in your proximity, which is at the form level. And then he says, the real question is what do you want to reach him for? You know? That's a purpose thing. That brings it back. The mind has fragmented the world. It's like, when we go to work, we have a concept of us being like a worker and we have certain job duties to do. These are concepts and constructs. You know, sometimes the dilemma comes up, well, my boss says I need to do this and I don't know how I feel about this. I think this might be unethical or something. But the mind has all these constructs and what a good worker is, what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, what it means to be an American, what it means to be a member of Unity Charity. It just goes, the mind's got this storehouse of things in there, of constructs that tell it what the world means. When I go to the grocery store, there's a grocery store scenario tucked away. File number 1089, grocery store scenario. You go into a grocery store depending on your preferences, costs that got a high preference, find the bargains or freshness or health. We've got nutrition laws in there. Let's go through and health is a big thing. Finding the most nutrition. Finding control. All this stuff is fed into the computer. Maybe it's time. My time is precious. I've got to get in and out of this grocery store tonight by the 45 minutes. So that's my constraint. But anyway, it's this grocery store scenario in there. All the courses saying is, there's going to be these wonderful holy encounters that you're going to have and each person you meet in that grocery store gives you opportunity for salvation. Instead of running up and down the aisle like I used to, trying to get out of the store, it's like you get a sense of this purpose. There's a different purpose here. You can look people in the eye. Conversations get struck up. You feel a sense of connectedness. The old computer program in the mind of whatever it is starts to get laid aside and you start to feel that connection. And then you do it when you're doing your laundry. And you can do it when you're skiing. Or whatever. At the beginning, the Holy Spirit knows how much the mind believes in specific separate situations. He knows that the mind believes that time is linear. I did this yesterday. After I finish this today, I'm going here next. The mind's got like a script. It's got imagination. It's very linear. And purpose kind of gets away from that whole linear sense of time. It's very abstract too. It's like, hold one purpose in mind.  What is this purpose? And we can't hold it in mind consistently because we've got all these other things and investments going on. But as soon as we learn to start to lay aside gradually these other scenarios and investments, then all of a sudden this purpose starts to dawn in our mind. It's like, yeah, this is what I want. There's a line in the Beyond All Idol section that says, whenever you decide upon the form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. That's a deep one. Whenever I decide about the form of what I want, I lose the understanding of its purpose. Whenever I read a meaning into any form and think I know what this chair is, or Jesus uses the example of the table in the workbook, he says, you can receive salvation from this table. You don't have to deal with ant so and so. I can do it with this table. This is pretty good. This is good news. And he says, now withdraw all the meaning that you've given to this table. He does it with a cup too. He says, do you really see a cup or are you just reviewing memories in your mind of how the cup feels on your lips or maybe of thinking of it as having coffee at breakfast in the morning? And what's the texture of the cup? Will the cup break if it falls? It's like we have all this information stored away on everything in the world and this is what makes a chair a chair we think and a cup a cup and a table a table. And he's saying there's a purpose that the Holy Spirit has for that table. You can get this universal purpose that he gives to the table and the cup and the chair and your aunt Frida or whoever, you know, then you've got it. But you really need to train your mind to this one abstract purpose. It's a different purpose than the ego's purpose in the mind.  There's a different purpose that can be given to anything. So what are you saying the purpose is? Are you saying atonement, tree, miracles, forgiveness? Yeah, lots of synonyms that he uses. To me, he comes at the same thing, come with all these different words and all these different things, but there's a lot of synonyms used in the course. In that sense, it's like one thing clicks, you know. All you have to do is just really get it clear, no matter what. For some people, the educational words come through, you know, curriculum and learning. Learning goal, you know, the real world is learned and the Holy relationship is a phenomenal learning accomplishment. Some people like the educational words. Some people like the religious words, you know, atonement. Or redemption. Or those kind of things, salvation. Some people like the psychological words, you know. It's just like whatever. He's just given us a tool that whatever you can relate to, and however you can get this meaning, you know, you can do it in an instant, but it just takes one perfect instant in the sense of, as we just talked about this purpose, is if we hold onto idols and investments, you can't simultaneously hold onto this purpose and those. So it's like a teeter totter, you know.  When you're talking about feeling sacrificed about it, giving up the pleasures or whatever, you know, that comes up a lot in the course. But the thing is, if you look at the stages of the development of trust, you know, where it goes through the different levels, you know, and you go through, oh, here. And the second one in the third one is like, oh, you think you've come pretty far here. But the belief in sacrifice still clouded your vision.  So obviously it's not until the very end, you know, as you really start to awaken, as you really start to let go, that you start to see the belief in sacrifice for what it is. So at the early stages, it's not uncommon at all to feel like, you know, that this is really a sacrifice. Because if we go back to our analogy of the mind, remember, of running from the light and running towards the form, to hide in the form, it's like it's sunk into the form.  I mean, there's a pretty good grip. The learning of the world has got a pretty fast grip on the mind because it really believes in the concrete and the specific in the form. So to be real gentle and to say, okay, I'm going to go along. I'm just going to take it. I'm going to try to work with right now. I'm just going to try to watch my emotions. How do I feel right now? That takes a lot of vigilance, you know, when you're used to getting involved and distracted into things. And you know, before you know it, you've got a little irritation building up and it's a little stronger. And you don't notice it until, you know, boom, you've got a rage and you're ready to explode in somebody. It takes a lot of vigilance and practice just to watch your emotions and just to see how do I feel right now. Right now, in a sense, it is a lot because it's always right now. You know.


Preparing for the worst, it's something Californians are all too familiar with. Records setting, floods, drought and wildfires have contributed to some of the worst disasters in state history. The governor's office, along with Cal OES, are making sure communities are ready to recover and respond from the next disaster. And let this begin a process of collaboration, the likes of which this state has never experienced in its history. Thank you all very, very much. The California for All Emergency Management Preparedness Sum in downtown Sacramento brought together nearly 500 emergency managers and first responders from across the state. The objective? To collectively plan and prepare for large-scale disasters. The end of the day, extraordinary things are happening. They're just not shared as effectively and efficiently as we possibly can. It's one thing to put things in writing. It's another thing to have a person standing in front of you expressing the nuances and complexities of issues and sharing experiences. And we have so many experiences to share over the last few years. The opportunity to update just on evacuation planning, on alert planning, opting in versus opting out, communication strategies that's just related to prioritization and looking at issues of gaps and where the state can come in and help support addressing those gaps. But at the end of the day, it's about people to people, peer to peer. It's about relationships that was subsequently the big part of today. What is it that you need to build that capacity to withstand the kinds of events that you're seeing? You cannot wait until the event itself to be ready to respond. This takes thought. This takes planning. This takes mitigation. This takes funding. And it takes leadership. If we have a catastrophic earthquake on the San Andreas Fault or the Hayward Fault, these are some of the numbers we're going to be looking at. We're going to be looking at those catastrophic complex emergencies that we're seeing in Butte County times 10, times 12. For more on the summit, visit our blog at OESNews.com. You can watch archive footage on our YouTube channel. For everyone here at Cal OES, I'm Jonathan Goodell.


The paper proposes a differential detection scheme based on coexisting electromagnetically induced transparency, EIT, and absorption, EIA. Signals in a double system with counter-propagating bichromatic laser fields, which enhances the amplitude of the coherent population trapping, different CPT. The signal was suppressing common-mode noise, resulting in an improved signal-to-noise ratio for captain clocks, and potentially benefiting other applications, such as magnetometers, and precision spectroscopy.

Thomas EXE vs. Thomas EXY What?  Realistic Gaming here today We're in the Nat Geo channel, and we're gonna be watching a wild Thomas out of the nature versus Thomas EXE So with that being said make sure to smash like button where Thomas gets it Thomas sped down the tracks his two passengers in tow both Frighteningly looking over their shoulders as the blue steam engine raced toward the tunnel They were so close if they could just make it there in one piece They'd not only be able to get away safely, but they had a good chance to stop the horrifying monster for good Suddenly it appeared the terrifying sight of a creature that was the size of another train chasing after them It looked world-wide similar to Thomas and that had been how the nightmarish engine had caused so much trouble Although the resemblance was far less so now save for the bright blue and red paint on the steam engine surface The rest of the pursuer looked more like something straight out of a nightmare or an old internet urban myth After them both Audrey and Brett urged Thomas to go faster They looked at the horrific thing coming after them noticing the metalwork of the train itself was worn out Rusted and old as though it had been left out in a junkyard for some time But what petrified them far more was what looked to be a living being housed inside the train The typical friendly round face of Thomas and his late friends was still present But was protruding out of the front of the steam engine on a long neck It looked like it had been sculpted from wet clay pale and writhing around like a snake as the creature gave chase Long spinning legs protruded out of the sides of the train car scuttling along the ground It allowed the monster to move fast as the real Thomas But without the need for wheels or the tracks below now that it had been discovered it had no need to keep up its disguise and Thomas.exe had morphed into this form to give itself every advantage in catching prey The blue engine ahead barreled as fast as he could toward the tunnel Screeching across the metal train tracks as he shot into the opening Sparks had been trailing up a long fuse Snaking toward a large pile of TNT at the entrance to the tunnel Brett and Audrey covered their ears as they rode into the dark tunnel expecting to hear a loud boom Instead there was no explosion just the sight of Thomas.exe hot on their tail The wide soulless eyes of the monster glowed red one of the only sources flight to the dimly lit tunnel And they were locked right onto the pair of railway workers filled with a look of blood-thirsty hunger Its mouth was open bearing rows of uneven razor-sharp teeth that were overlapping and protruding at various angles More like a pile of deadly jagged stones than the teeth of a living being Red liquid was running down the monster's face flicked into the air with huge flecks of spittle as it gnashed and snarled like a Feral animal Brett and Audrey looked ahead seeing the other side of the tunnel barreling toward them But without the dynamite going off their plan had already failed How are they ever gonna get away from Thomas.exe now? It all started earlier that day I know the Sodor what? A totally ordinary affair on the island of Sodor Okay, so it was Brett and Audrey's capacity on the island sent there to keep an eye on the talkative trains and keep them out Of trouble as best they could neither one of them could have expected the kind of trouble They'd have to contend with missing trains were hardly a new occurrence on Sodor and was never usually a cause for concern But it was certainly rare for those lost trains to turn up with their faces missing thanks to a monster on the loose The strange occurrences all started after something dropped from the sky It seemed like a comet although it was hard to see clearly in the middle of the day a few other smaller objects came falling from Above seconds later, but most of them landed off the coast dropping into the sea with a splash Perhaps if their trains and workers on Sodor had gotten a better look at the debris They would have been warned sooner that something was wrong Unbeknownst to them flying several thousand feet above them was a commercial airliner passing over the island It was a fairly ordinary plane with a little of interest either on the outside or aboard inside the cabin Except one of the passengers had unknowingly made a huge mistake One that would spell doom for not only everyone on the plane, but the trains and people on the island directly below They were just a kid playing on their tablet. Nothing strange about that, right? Well before takeoff this particular passengers parents had been loading up Roblox games for their child to play during the flight Roblox that way they could get some much needed sleep and their kid would have a distraction for a few hours However without realizing one of the games they had installed offline was titled Thomas.exe the friendly picture of a cartoon train had tricked them into thinking It was just a harmless game for children But they were wrong over the course of the flight their kid had played all the Roblox games their parents had loaded up for them They were about to start getting bored and kicking up a fuss until they noticed one more that they hadn't played yet Opening it up their character was walking down a train track in an open sunny field The track kept going and going seemingly endless until a pop-up window appeared a series of letters dripping red spelled out Would you like to see the real game? The kid had tabbed one of the two buttons below both of which were labeled Yes, and Thomas.exe had been unleashed. Of course the size of the scary steam engine On the air please Sending everything aboard plummeting down to earth that was when down on the island of Sodor Audrey spotted something tumbling out of the sky it came down to land on the far side of the island So she decided to go and investigate She hopped aboard Thomas and told them where they were heading the blue engine happily following the long winding tracks That led in the right direction the route brought them right past the crash site and Audrey looked out at Thomas's cabin to assess the Situation there didn't seem to be anything amiss save for a few scraps of metal that were dotted around the sand a big crater It formed as if a large head object had impacted the beach with quite some force But the space in the center was empty with no sign of anything out of the ordinary She shrugged in hope for the best telling Thomas they should head back to work around the same time Percy had been delivering mail his favorite job This green train was one of the junior engines on the island of Sodor known for being a little cheeky But above all kind and well-behaved although Percy had a little bit of a reputation for jumping into situations had first without thinking Oh, what did you do Percy naive but friendly he and Thomas had been best friends for a long time So when he saw the blue engine up ahead coming down the tracks parallel to him heading in the opposite direction Percy slowed down to greet his friend or at least what he thought was his friend It certainly looked like Thomas even though it wasn't Percy's brakes engaged bringing his wheels to a halt as Thomas got closer From a distance he looked like he was alone with no carriages behind him and nobody in his cabin as the blue engine approached He too slowed down pulling up alongside Percy on the opposite tracks Percy excitedly greeted his friend regaling Thomas with the details of his work for the day Describing it as nothing more than another boring ordinary day on the island Percy then excitedly moved on to reminiscing about more exciting times in particular the time he had slipped on some oily tracks And had been sent crashing through a nearby chocolate factory when the poor green engine had emerged He'd been covered much to Percy's concern Thomas didn't seem to react The other train was smiling so it wasn't like he was patiently listening to his friend's tales instead It was more of an empty vacant smile. There was none of Thomas's usual happiness behind it It was lifeless like a copy Percy tried asking if something was wrong growing concerned worried that something might be wrong with His fellow engine he'd already heard that the new worker Audrey had taken Thomas over to the other side of the island to investigate Something that had fallen from the sky had his friend seen something come to think of it Percy realized that Thomas got out of the person there was no sign of Audrey anywhere because this Wasn't really Thomas a long slimy gray creature slithered out of the front of the blue engine While Percy screamed in terror its glassy eyes turned red as its jaws opened wide Showing off a mass of teeth with a grating screech that sounded like creaky metal the terrifying tank engine lunged forward at Percy It's frightening face was Percy's dying sight while all this Red was busy at work James the red engine had been complaining all day after his beloved shiny red paint got dirt over it So the task had fallen to Brett to give James a fresh coat of paint all the while having to listen to the engines over Confident boasting about how much better he thought he was than the other steam trains It was only after a few hours He'd spent repainting James that Brett noticed the engines were running behind schedule Gordon hadn't arrived on time to pull goods engines on the Mina line and now there were huge delays to make matters worse Diesel had just appeared and seemed to be up to his usual tricks a large oil colored engine powered by diesel instead of steam He was known for his bad behavior diesel was rough and tough a malicious and devious trickster Who viewed himself and other diesel engines as superior to the steam engines and he used this excuse to bully them relentlessly He'd single-handedly caused all the engines to distrust him and that same distrust extended to Brett But when he heard what diesel was claiming he couldn't help but be concerned Percy had overturned the boisterous troublemaker had claimed and that was the source of all the hold-ups today The diesel said that Percy's face was gone Missing as if he'd taken off by force Brett scolded diesel said he shouldn't joke about things like that Then climbing aboard James He set off to see what the source of all the commotion was at the same time Audrey had been coming back with the main line on top leading to the pair of them crossing paths with Breton James Meeting in the middle they saw for themselves what the problem was and they were shocked to find that diesel hadn't been lying Turned on his side blocking the tracks was Percy The green paint of the steam engine was the only indicator of who he was because just like diesel had said the poor train engine Was missing his face? Thomas was distraught to see what had happened to his friend or Tom both Breton Audrey did their best to console the poor morning tank engine Nearby a group of spiteful foolish freight cars jeered at Thomas Audrey told them off for being so cruel But was shocked to hear them claim poor Thomas is served the freight cars seemed to think what had happened to Percy was his Fault her and Brett grilled the foolish freight cars about what they meant and why they were being so harsh They said that they had seen the same thing happen to a number of other engines on the island of Sodor Something had been picking them off one by one Slowly whittling down their numbers and leaving steam trains without their faces lying in the tracks to cause delays Holding up more trains was making it easier for the one responsible to feed on more of them and the freight cars Climbed they'd witnessed the latest attack for themselves They told the two railway workers that they'd been hauling coal when they passed Gordon He was known to be one of the fastest and strongest steam engines on the island at times pompous and arrogant But often good-hearted and willing to use his strength to help others But the freight cars had watched this proud and brave train speeding away from another engine one that looked Suspiciously like Thomas it had been chasing Gordon with the speed of a train twice its size While the bigger of the two struggled to stay away The engine assumed to be Thomas by the foolish freight cars had raced after Gordon gaining on him getting closer and closer until A great spider-like limb had burst out of the train's metal hole thrashing at Gordon trying to derail him It swiped at his wheels clipping wound enough strength and force to bash it out from underneath the larger locomotive Gordon skidded sideways tumbling over himself before eventually coming to a halt lying on one side Battered and stuck on the tracks all the while his pursuer slowed down Gordon slithered its elongated neck out of the steam engine with a blood-curdling roar Thomas dot exe claimed yet another victim before crawling over what was left of Gordon leaving him on the tracks Audrey scolded the foolish freight cars for such a story Assuring Brett that she'd been with Thomas the whole time Since the two of them had gone to get a closer look at what had fallen from the sky over on the far side of the island There was no way that the blue engine could have been responsible It had to have been something else There was clearly an imposter among them one that on the outside looked like Thomas But with a creature far more sensitive Instructing all the foolish freight cars and james to stay where they were The two rail workers boarded the still distraught Thomas and went to investigate Sure enough within a few miles of the track They came across Gordon left in much the same state as Percy had been Faceless and discarded left in a wreck on the tracks Despite their reputations for causing all sorts of mischief on the island The foolish freight cars had been telling the truth on this occasion The trains really were being picked off one at a time and if something wasn't done soon There'd be none left and to make matters even worse than they already were If this creature whatever it was got tired of trains Then it might just set its sights on humans to hunt them instead So Brett and Audrey had to come up with a plan and fast before Thomas dot exe struck again Fortunately raising the alarm and urging the few other people left on the island of Sodor to lead for their own safety wasn't difficult Thanks to all the delays It was easy to convince people that things weren't going well and that vacating the island while Brett and Audrey sorted it out Was in everyone's best interests with all the others safely making their way to the mainland where they'd be out of harms away The pair could set about coming up with a plan to stop Thomas dot exe once and for all There was just one thing they had to be careful of now that everyone else was gone They were the only two humans on the island So if it got through many more trains Thomas dot exe would be coming for them next They gathered the remaining trains although there were still a number of them that were unaccounted for Toby seemed to still be intact despite being an older more worn out engine And diesel had also managed to avoid any encounters with Thomas dot exe and survive But aside from Thomas himself and a handful of foolish freight cars I don't like those didn't seem to be anyone else left The terrifying tank engine was picking up speed devouring his way through the trains on the island desperate to stop all the chaos Audrey explained the plan There was an old tunnel in the south of the island that was in a state of disrepair In fact the trains usually avoided it for fear of caving in but that was exactly what the two rail workers wanted to use To their advantage if they could lure Thomas dot exe toward that tunnel and make it collapse with the dynamite Then the monster would be trapped with no means of escape They'd hoped that if they left it there long enough without any more trains to feed on that Thomas dot exe would gradually wither away Unfortunately, thanks to the rumors being spread by the foolish freight cars and diesel the other engines distrusted the real Thomas Believing him to be the monster after all this supposed creature did look exactly like him when disguised So for all they knew Thomas dot exe was right there Binding its time lulling everyone into a false sense of security Left without any help from anyone else Audrey and Brett hopped aboard Thomas and set off to gather up some tnt They placed it at both entrances of the tunnel then rode Thomas all over the island Sounding his whistle and making plenty of noise to get the monster's attention It didn't take long for Thomas dot exe to come scuttling after them Hurdling through the dark tunnel both Audrey and Brett were at a loss for what to do The dynamite on the far side of the tunnel they've entered through had failed to explode And Thomas dot exe was right behind them a fright and Thomas sped on through the tunnel There was a loop in the tracks on the other side If he could just get out ahead of the monstrous Thomas dot exe the blue engine could turn back toward the tunnel And maybe Brett or Audrey could set off the second load of dynamite But they'd have to move even faster than was physically possible with how quickly the creature was gaining on them Just as they passed through the tunnel's exit they spotted a dark shape barreling toward them on the adjacent tracks It was diesel he sped in front of the tunnel's opening just as Thomas dot exe came first in through The snarling steam train collided with diesel with the loud noise of metal scraping against metal Thomas dot exe scratched at diesel with its spider legs gnashing sharp teeth While the once scheming and devious diesel kept his brakes on tight this scrapping the creature's path Allowing the real Thomas to get far enough away He came to a stop not far from the tunnel where the switch to detonate the tnt was Hopping out Audrey and Brett reached for the plunger pulling it up and looking over to the tunnel Thomas dot exe was pulling diesel apart its blood red eyes fixed on them And the blue engine friend in a way that told them they were next Bracing themselves the pair pushed down on the plunger and heard a mighty boom The dynamite exploded with enough force that it collapsed the tunnel opening Showering debris all over the place. There was an enraged screech from Thomas dot exe as it was seemingly buried for good It wasn't until long after the dust had settled and the authorities went to investigate that they noticed something strange They had found what was left of diesel and a hollowed out blue steam train But there was no sign of the creature inside What all right, that was actually pretty cool It was pretty good because it actually had a storyline like it actually stuck with the storyline and made it to the end And it was pretty awesome that we got to see other trains on there like diesel Jan james Gordon because usually it's always about thomas and or either tutu charging it But this was pretty dope well shout out to the creators thomas the tank engine and game stories for their awesome videos I'll leave the link to the videos in the description down below so you guys can check them out for yourselves And yeah, thank y'all for watching and remember smash like


Hello there lovers and friends, I'm gonna start this off happy because this is a heavy topic, but it shouldn't be heavy. It should be conversational. It should be a normal conversation for all of us as sexual harassment, sexual assault and consent are topics that we all have to deal with. We all have some relationship with and we are all charged to figure it out and I don't have all the answers. I'm constantly figuring it out for myself and that is why I'm doing this video while it is a story time and it is directed at something that happened to me this weekend that was not okay. It's not a drag either. It is a call to action. Let's educate. Let's conversate moment. So if you are the person who I'm talking about in this video, I am not attacking you in any shape or form.  So I go to VidCon pretty much for the past four years. I've been every single year. I love VidCon. My best friends go, people that I've collabed like I had to see them again. There's some like creators that I really, really admire like Anna Akana. I actually got to sit on a stage with her last year, which is like a really big deal for me. And so I love VidCon. It's a really great time. And what I also love about VidCon, it's an opportunity to connect face to face with you all, the people who watch the videos of people who show up, people who say, let's be a part of the same conversation, the same community. That is my jam.  And that's why I always volunteer to do the creator chat.  So I walk into my creator chat. Again, there's like 10 people in the room and immediately I recognize somebody like we all have great facial recognition, but the name thing is tough for us.  So whenever someone says I'm not good at names that annoys me because like nobody is like, you have to commit it to memory and try to position it with something that you already know in order to memorize it better. Anyhow, so I recognize this girl and I was like, I feel like I've like something and she was like, yes, like shampoo remember last year, we got to talk. I walked you through the hallways as you were going to your next panel.  I'm like, Oh, okay, cool. So anyhow, after the creator chat ended, she walks up to me and she was like, I have something to share with you. I was like, Oh, like bet, like what's up? And she said, last year, what happened to you was not okay. First of all, I'm like, what my indigestion like what like my eye problems at Christmas, what happened to me last year that wasn't okay. And so I was like, trying to like go through the catalog of my video to see what she could be possibly talking about. And then she was like at VidCon when you were sexually harassed. I mean, I don't remember your name, but I feel like I would remember that. And I was like, I wasn't sexually harassed last year at VidCon. And she said, yes, you were. When we were walking through the checkpoint and at that security checkpoint, the security guard was really, really forward with you was really flirty with you. And then after you walked away, he was asking questions like, Oh, how famous is that girl? Like, what's her social media? So I said, I'm a really flirty person. That's how I like to interact and engage with people. It's it's a part of how I like to live my life. That was not harassment to me. As a matter of fact, I probably walked up to a security guard smiling and maybe he smiled back and said, Hey, you look great. And I might have said like, Okay, Mr. Muscle Man and kept it going. Like, that's a normal exchange for me that that is not any kind of violation on my part. And how dare you make an assumption of what is harassment to me? But to add insult to injury, she reported this person and then said to me, I had a call with VidCon about it to make sure that this never happened again. No, there's no such thing, sweetie, as secondhand sexual harassment. You do not get to make an assessment on someone else's body, someone else's boundaries to tell them when and when they have not experienced something that is in violation of their personal space that if that would have been harassment to you, absolutely, you have every right to begin a conversation. But even then, even then, what is so wrong with lightly correcting someone on the spot and giving faith that that's okay? You know what I mean? Like, why do we have to take it to the end degree that this individual probably had to lose their job? That VidCon had to be maybe not even hired. And I actually did find out that VidCon did not hire the same security company as last year. I am not sure if those two things are related. I highly doubt it. But I'm just saying on the slim possibility that this person's interpretation of an exchange could have resulted in a lot of families having a very different year this year. And I think the danger of what's happening in the Me Too era and the conversation around harassment is we are trying to brand a one size fits all label. And I understand why we would do that because clarity is king. If we can say without a reasonable doubt, hey, if you put a knife in someone that's stabbing, right? Like, that's we all are very clear about that. But you know, if you pretend to stab somebody, it's not stabbing. This is a terrible analogy. But what I'm trying to say is when we can all universally agree on something, it's easier to educate people. But the beautiful and unfortunate part about consent, it's not one size fits all. It is nuanced and it is about the exchange that two individuals have. And I'm saying this as somebody who has crossed the line with other people and I have had the benefit of someone pulling me aside and saying, I don't think you realize that what you're doing might be making others uncomfortable. So from now on, you should probably just ask or just be a little bit more careful. And if this individual really felt the security guard went too far, one, she should have phrased it like, man, like, isn't Shambhudi really cool? Yeah, she's really cool. She's nice. You know what I mean? Like, she's really friendly. And like, that's kind of her charm. But just so you know, some other people may not be cool with you giving them compliments because your security and it's kind of a blurry line there just to be aware of that. What is so wrong with those tiny corrections that give someone the benefit of the doubt to do better next time?   It's like, let's keep this on brand. And I'm like, oh, and at the end of the day, that's what I thought people would want from me. And she said, look, I didn't have anyone report this to me, but just through observation, some people did not seem comfortable with that. She's like, I'm not sure, but I also didn't hear you ask anybody if you could take that kind of photo with them. So she's like, I'm not just just be aware that that may not be something that when someone says, can I take a picture with you that they're consenting or signing up for? Now, my first reaction as many of us are when we get put in our place is to be like, what do you know? People think I'm so cool. They want this. And then I thought, you're probably right. What is so wrong? And if I stay in the exact same tone, right? Like, do you mind if I touch the middle of your back? Do you mind if I snuggle my nose against your face? Do you mind if I lift your leg? Like, what is so wrong about taking two extra seconds to do that with somebody? Because at the end of the day, this picture ain't about me. I didn't ask to take the photo. I don't have any intent for this picture. So I want it to be a photo that you like, that you're proud of, that you're like, yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for. So why not take those extra couple seconds to ask? And what if, what if that individual, instead of putting, pulling me aside and correcting me, just reported me and I no longer got invited back to VidCon and no longer had an opportunity to really like go back and try again and be better. And I never learned because nobody educated or expressed that to me. So all I'm trying to say is that while we're all trying to figure this space out together, can we please be compassionate and gracious? Can we please give people the benefit of the doubt? Can we please make this a conversation versus a condemnation? Can we please not report on someone else's behalf? Can we please take the extra two seconds to talk to someone person to person rather than constantly looking at the at the world through an abuser and a victim mentality? That to me, I think would just be a lot healthier for everybody. I try in my relationships with men in particular to exercise a lot of compassion and understanding because things are changing really quickly. But with great change means that some people aren't being kept up to speed. They aren't on top of the trends. And for those individuals, let's like, let's scoop them along, right? Like let's like embrace them lightly and let them know that like times are changing. You probably want to keep up just an FYI. Here's where we're at right now. Here's where we're trying to aim for. And if someone does that for you and I think approaches you with that compassion, the way that it was done for me, number one, I think going forward, you appreciate that so much more, you appreciate the way that that dialogue went. And so you give others that exact same thing. And number two, you start thinking about it a lot. I know for me, I constantly think about consent. It's not something that comes up for me, you know, once every six months, every single day I'm asking myself, was that person okay? And my general rule of thumb for consent, which I want to share to all of you is, is what makes me feel good making this other person feel bad. So is what makes me feel good? I love hugging someone when I see them, making them feel uncomfortable is what makes me feel good. Like complimenting someone like, Hey, sexy, making that person feel weird. And if so, maybe I replace Hey, sexy with Hey, beautiful or Hey, your outfit's great.  I always ask myself that question. And when I cross a line with somebody, I hope that they educate me because when someone slightly crosses a line with me, I absolutely educate them and I do it with a smile and I do it with grace and with understanding. Now this is not a commentary on the fact that people who completely overshoot the line. I'm talking about if this is your boundary and they are just a couple steps outside of it, that's when it can be a polite reproach. Now somebody is aggressive and completely disrespectful and doing again like where it's undeniably a harassing situation or assaulting situation, maybe then the same grace and tenderness is not applicable. But for a lot of the daily exchanges that we have, I think this might be an incredible solution. Actually, one of the most favorite parts of mine in my new book, we actually had a stripper teach the women. So my book is about how I taught six women to be confident, badass, sexy, like desirable individuals to walk out in this world, expecting to be chosen, expecting to have the power to choose, expecting to have great dates because they have the skill set and they put the work in. And as a matter of fact, a lot of what this book is, it's being able to walk out into the world and connect with people at will. It's having that energy around you where people are drawn to and want to be a part of it. And the responsibility of that as well too is getting to let people know when they've crossed a line. In the book, we actually worked with a self-defense instructor who taught people what to do and everyone should do that. I think the reason why I'm so comfortable being flirty with people is because one, I'm really good at communicating when someone's crossed a line. And number two, if push comes to shove, I know how to protect myself. And I can go out into the world and confidently make those fluid connections that are a little bit suggestive. And it has benefited my life in many ways as opposed to making my life a source of danger or turning me into a victim. Anyhow, but in this book, we spoke to a stripper and she was supposed to come in and teach the women how to like just insinuate a little bit of sexuality, a little bit of sexiness in their interactions with someone they found attractive with a playmate as we call them. And she said that in her line of work, she leads everything with consent. Before she walks over to a client, she says, hey daddy, how are you doing? Do you mind if I join you? Before she sits down. Before she even like puts her body on his, do you mind if I touch you there? The first thing she always does is say, your shirt looks really soft. Can I touch it to see how it feels?  And she says the return that she gets is they always ask her. She creates a culture of consent. She leads with that. And in return, that respect is mirrored backwards. Now there are people, of course, who don't know how to mirror, who just don't have social etiquette and those individuals shouldn't have the privilege of being in a strip club. And that's why they have security guards who will make that adjustment very quickly. But I loved that language and that conversation that she had and how enjoy that she was in talking about consent because consent absolutely can be sexy. It absolutely can be a part of your game and it shouldn't deter you from going out there and being friendly with other people. That's all. This was kind of a rant. I don't know if it wrapped up nicely in the end, but I just want to say to the VidCon representatives, I was not sexually harassed. I did not find anything inappropriate about any of my exchanges with any of your staff. I have been hit on by plenty of your staff, but I probably flirted with plenty of your staff as well too. And so it's good that what I'm doing is working. And it's great that when I say like, you know, this was enough for me. Thank you so much. Or like actually, you know, I'm not looking to exchange information right now, but you can follow me on Instagram. I'm happy that those lines are respected. Okay. Let's bring this full circle into a tangible conversation in the comment section below. I like to know two things. What do you do when someone takes a little step too far with you, when they take the banter or the casual flirting or the even you walking by a step too far? How do you educate that person on the flip side? Have you ever had someone put you in your place and let you know that there's a lot of lessons on consent that you also have to learn and apply to your own life? All right. I'm looking forward to this. And again, I'm spreading nothing but love with this conversation. This is not a drag. This is a call to action for conversation.


Best quote on making money. You get paid in proportion to the difficulty of problems you solve.   You know, that's that that's Elon Musk's quote, or so they say, and look at what he's doing. That's the game he's playing, solving the hardest problems in the world.
