We have Brett saying taking heavy notes today, wanting to put the ball in motion for sure to work definitely next fall, maybe this summer. Awesome. Yeah, today we're not going to talk so much about finding jobs, however, but I think I did a live a couple weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago that was all about how to find TEFL jobs. And I think you were not there at that time. I can't remember, but I don't think I saw you there. So maybe go back in our playlist and watch that one as well. That will be really useful for finding jobs. I'm going to share a link to our playlist later as well. I'm going to show you guys how to find our other play our other previous live sessions in the playlist so you can go ahead and check those out. But yeah, this is 30% off. So anyone who is new to TEFL or who wants to get a specialization or kind of upgrade their certificate. This would be a great way to do so. All right, we also have Iku saying it is 305. That's so early. Thank you so much for staying up so late. Your life is stunning. Love it. Thank you. Awesome. You have Juliana. Hello, Juliana. I'm watching from Illinois. It's 7pm here. We are having a snow storm now. Oh no. Wow. I hope you're staying safe and warm, Juliana. That's crazy. I hope your power doesn't cut out. Oh wow. Snow storm. Yeah, we had some snow. I think it was a Monday beginning of the week. It was kind of crazy. But now it's beautiful. Blue sky. The sun is out. It's very nice. But cold. Nice but cold. Okay. All right. This was this. So yeah, like I said at any time, feel free to ask questions. Very welcome to do so. And then we're just going to jump into today's topic. Tefl for beginners. How to get started if you're interested in teaching English. One more thing I want to mention. You might notice over here. These little icons over there. I mentioned that last week as well, but we did get some awards and we're very proud. We got this community choice award from go overseas as voted at, what does it say? Best. Oh, 2021 best Tefl provider because I don't want to say anything wrong. That's the exact wording on here. So we're super excited about that. And we also got the go abroad verified badge. So go abroad and go overseas are two of the biggest providers for like international overseas experiences and it is on those platforms. And we have gathered so many positive reviews over the last year so that we were voted best Tefl program in 2021. So I'm super excited about that. And I just wanted to put them up here so that we can kind of celebrate together and see that inhabit in front of us. Kind of as a, yeah, as a motivating factor here. But yeah, super proud of that. So enough of that. Let's jump in. And let's see what's happening. So the first thing we're going to talk about is. First of all, what is Tefl? What is Teesol? And I know that some, I've mentioned this in previous lives before and some of you are already Tefl or Teesol certified. So maybe I can give this question to the audience, to you guys. And you can tell me what does Tefl stand for? And what does Teesol stand for? And let's see if you were paying attention. Let's see. I'm sure some of you know this. What does Tefl stand for? What does Teesol stand for? Put it in the comments. I'm going to put you to the test. I'm going to have some coffee meanwhile. If you want to get Tefl or Teesol certified, you need to know what that stands for, right? So this is the very first thing that we're going to learn today. And hopefully some of our previous course graduates, Brett, Juliana, will be able to answer this question. Without Googling. Let's see. All right, Juliana. Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language. Perfect. Yes, that is Tefl. So Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language. What about Teesol? What about Teesol? What about Teesol? Hmm. It's similar. It's very similar. Let's see. I'm going to give it a few more seconds. Hmm. And then I'm going to reveal the answer. Let's see. Five, four, three, two, one. Too slow. All right, let's have a look. And I'm going to make myself smaller so we can all read this. But it was correct. Tefl stands for teaching English as a foreign language. And Teesol stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. So it's very similar, isn't it? And also the training that's involved for Tefl or Teesol is identical. It is basically the same thing these days. The only difference is that Tefl is most commonly used within the UK and Europe, the term Tefl. And then Teesol is usually the preferred term in Australia and the US. And I believe also Canada, North America. So that's the only difference. Oh yeah. Now the answers came in. Thank you, Brett. Yes, you're right. Teaching English to speakers of other languages. Juliana also right. There is a delay sometimes in the live. So maybe that's why. All right. You'll get a point. It's okay. Yeah. So these are the only differences. Now at ITTT, what you can do is you can choose whether your certificate says Tefl or Teesol on it. So it's your choice. It's the same thing. But depending on maybe where you're from, you want it to say Tefl because you're from Europe maybe, or you're more used to the term Teesol. So you want your certificate to say Teesol. So that's up to you. It means the same thing. It is accredited and recognized exactly the same. You know, so it really doesn't matter. And the courses are the same. Tefl course, Teesol course, you will learn the exact same things. So that's the first thing.  What is Teesol? And then there's another one. Some people get confused about that is Tefl. I'm just going to put this in here. Tefl. Oh, and what does that stand for actually? Because that's something different. That is something very different. Oh, yeah. Here. So Tefl. I'm just going to put this here and show you guys. Some people, they email us and they're like, hey, do you also offer Tefl? Can I take a Tefl? Here, test of English as a foreign language. So this is an English proficiency test or certificate. So it's not the same thing as a Tefl. A Tefl or a Teesol is for a course that teaches you how to be a teacher. Right? A Tefl course. This one down here is basically a certificate that proves your English language ability. So those are different things. Now we do recommend, especially for non native English teachers to get a Tefl or a Teesol certificate, but also a form of English proficiency certificate like a Tefl or an IELTS or a Cambridge certificate. Just wanted to mention that because there are different things. All right. So this is Tefl and Teesol. Hope that is clear. Then we have a lot of people are asking, so what are the requirements for, excuse me, the requirements for teaching English. And there is no one answer to this question because the requirements, they vary from place to place. Just like the requirements for any other job vary from company to company, city to city, country to country. So it's really, there's no one answer. But in general, we can say that most often we read in the requirements for English teaching jobs abroad that they want a bachelor's degree. So a four year degree most of the time. They're also teaching jobs where a degree is actually not required. And the bachelor's degree most often does not have to be in the field of education. So for in my case, I always mentioned that I have a bachelor's degree in management and foreign languages, not in English. So that's still okay. It doesn't have to be in the field of education or English. But obviously, that's a plus. That's a big plus. If you're majored in English, if you majored in diesel, etc. That's a huge plus. Then another requirement is a TEFL or a TSOL certificate. So what we just talked about. There are also jobs that don't require a TEFL or a TSOL, but the situation has just become so competitive nowadays that TEFL or a TSOL certificate is pretty much the standard. And you should have one. And people who are TEFL or TSOL certified definitely have an advantage and are preferred most of the time. They also earn a higher salary. So when I came to Korea and I was TEFL and TSOL certified, I had actually a higher salary than my colleagues who didn't. So you can earn more money as well. Teaching experience. Most of the time, not a requirement. It depends on where you want to teach. So actually most people, especially in South Korea where I am or I taught in China in those regions, most people are first time teachers that come here. However, if you're interested in the Middle East, which tends to be the highest paying TEFL teaching region, they have tax-free salaries. It's incredibly competitive and you can earn a lot of money there. There they will need teaching experience most of the time. There's also places where you need to be a native English speaker, not everywhere though. The majority of places they will also accept non-native English speakers. But in that case, like I just mentioned with the TEFL, they usually want some kind of English proficiency certificate on top of that. So that you can prove that you are fluent in English, or maybe you have lived in an English-speaking country, or maybe you went to an English-speaking university and things like that. Then yeah, the other two points are just like personal traits. So obviously if you want to teach English abroad, you need to have a good adaptability to the new culture, new countries, etc. And an eagerness to learn new things. But I think we all have that. That's why we're here. That's why we want to go abroad, right? Because we want to see and learn new things. So yeah, so these are the general requirements for teaching English. Again, they vary from place to place. So you're going to see places where there are very few requirements. You don't even need to have a bachelor's degree. But there are places where you need to have a bachelor's degree and you need to have teaching experience and you need to have a TEFL. So it varies from place to place. I did some live sessions before about specific regions. So I did teaching English in Asia where I go over all the different countries in Asia and the requirements for teaching there. So you can browse again our playlist and check that out for the country or region specific live sessions to find out more about the requirements for a specific country. All right. Good. That's that. So now what are the requirements to take a TEFL course? There are really none. Only thing you need to be a fluent English speaker, right? Because the course isn't English. You want to teach English. So you need to be fluent in English. There are no other requirements. You don't need to have a degree. You don't need to have a, I don't know, work visa or anything like that. You only need to be fluent English speaker and you can start with your TEFL course. It's really that easy. It doesn't matter where in the world you are. You can do this from anywhere in the world. We have online courses that are 100% online. So you can do this anywhere. You can do this at home. That's why our courses are so popular because they're so flexible as well. I'm going to talk more about these online options in a bit. But just wanted to say that because some people, we get emails, you know, what are the requirements? Can I take a TEFL course? All you need to be is a fluent English speaker. Native English speaker, fluent English speaker. It doesn't matter. As long as you speak and understand English, you can take a TEFL or a TESOL course. No problem. And you can get certified. That's all there is to it. It's super easy. Okay. So now we talked a little bit about what is TEFL? What is TESOL? So again, TEFL stands for teaching English as a foreign language. And TESOL stands for teaching English to speakers of other languages. So now what is a TEFL or a TESOL course? What does the course entail? Right? We learned the two acronyms now. Let's go over the course in general. That's skip now. Hold on. Oh my God, it skipped forward. What is that? Okay. There we go. That was weird. So what is a TEFL or TESOL course? When you take a TEFL or TESOL course, you will get a TEFL or a TESOL certificate at the end. Right? That's the goal.  So what does the certificate mean? What does it do? I like to explain this this way. It has two sides. On the one side, it is this piece of paper, this certificate that you can touch and show other people here I'm certified because it's a required certification in schools around the world, in countries like China, South Korea and other places. You need to have it in order to teach there. But it is also the course itself will teach you the teaching the skills necessary to be an English teacher. So it's something also for you personally. You want to be an English teacher. So you want to make sure that you can offer the highest value to your future students, right? At least that's how I think. For me as a teacher, there's nothing more like embarrassing than when I teach something and my students just don't understand it because obviously I can't explain it very well then. You know, they don't understand. So a TEFL course teaches you exactly those skills, how you can teach effectively, right? So a TEFL course or a TESOL course entails topics like teaching theories and methods and techniques, which is super important. And we like to use this one teaching methodology called ESA Engage Study Activate. Many of you have already taken the course. You will be familiar with this. And I actually did also a live session about ESA before. So you can check that out. But that's something you will learn during the course. And this methodology is so useful for planning your lessons, especially as new teachers. You know, it can be very daunting to stand in front of the class and you kind of lose track of time or you don't really know what you're doing in the moment. So this ESA methodology is kind of like a guide. And you can plan out your entire lesson and always refer and come back to it. So that is super important. Another very important part of a TEFL course is classroom management, how to deal with different students. There's always going to be troublemakers in a class or there is always going to be shy students in the class that don't want to talk or say anything at all. And how can you manage that? How can you still kind of make the best out of it? Lesson planning, again, that's where ESA comes in. How do you plan your lessons? You don't want to just come into your classroom without any plan at all, especially as a new teacher.  But as a new teacher, it's very different.  You don't really have a whole array of lesson plans like saving your brain yet. You still kind of need your practice and lesson planning is very important, especially for new teachers. So a TEFL course is going over that. Also things on evaluation and testing, how to test your students, progress tests, placement tests, all those kinds of things. Also very important equipment and teaching aids. What kind of equipment can you use in the classroom? What do most schools use in the classroom? It's also very important to kind of switch between different teaching aids to keep it interesting, not to only stick to the textbook, stuff like that. And also very important English grammar. So that's kind of what our courses are. 50-50, like all the theoretical part in it, or like the teaching methodologies and classroom management and lesson planning and things, what I just mentioned. And then the other half is focused on English grammar, specific English grammar points, and how to kind of effectively teach those and what non-native or English learners most struggle with when it comes to different English grammar patterns and how you as a teacher can then effectively teach those. And this is I think a great advantage of non-native English teachers because they know what English grammar points are a problem for English learners, whereas native English speakers usually don't know this kind of stuff. So especially native English teachers give us great feedback about the English grammar points that they learn a lot that they didn't even think about before. So anyway, so that is the TEFL course and what you will learn and what it gets you at the end, the TEFL certificate. It looks like this obviously without the sample written on it.  We also give you a PDF, a digital version of your certificate right when you complete the course so you can start applying already. Because really you don't, you really need this physical, this actual paper hard copy certificate. Most of the time you really don't need it because when you apply you just would apply online and you would attach it as a PDF anyway. The only time where you would need it is for example if you want to go to a country where a TEFL course is a requirement or a TEFL certificate is a requirement for the visa. So for example in China and some other countries where you then actually need to show the certificate to the officials at the embassy to get your work visa. But that's not everywhere the case. So most of the time you just need the digital copy anyway. Alright, let me look at the comments now. Everything is clear. If you have a question, if something doesn't make sense just mention that in the comments and I'll try and explain it better. We have Ami Hadi, hello. Oh or Tabinda, is that your name? From Manchester here, oh yeah Tabinda. Cool, I like that name. I am okay, how are you? I'm doing very great. Thanks for watching. We have Thumbs On, hello. Good to see you. I'm doing very well, how are you?  Alright, good. So this is what a TEFL course will teach you and what it gets you in the end. Okay, so now let's go over different types of TEFL courses out there because there are many different types and when you're new to TEFL and TESOL you might probably not know which course should I sign up for. So let's go over that. Marcia, hello. Good to see you, how are you doing? Thumbs On, good to see you too Linda. Kinda miss you, oh I missed you too. Good to have you here today. Oh we have La Luz from Libya. Very nice, hello. Welcome, welcome. Cool, so yeah, no TEFL course is the same. These are the TEFL course options that we offer at ITTT. It starts with the 120 hour course and there's a little star next to it so this is basically the international standard. The minimum required TEFL course that you should get as a teacher if you want to teach English abroad. 120 hours, this is the most common one. Yeah, this one. Good question, that's exactly that. So what is the minimum qualification to start a TEFL as a beginner to achieve certification? This one, 120 hours, that is the minimum. That's where it starts usually and then you can kind of build upon that. Most people, I also started out with the 120 hour one and then I got three additional specialization certificates later on. I'm also going to show you those in a minute and they're also included in the higher hours here. 170 hours is the next one. Then we have 220, 370, 470 and 550 is the highest one that we offer at ITTT. And I'll show you those in depth but this is what it looks like and depending on sort of what your goal is you will choose the course depending on what your goal is. So if you already know you want to teach English in let's say the Middle East and you want to stay there, you want to stay there for a while, you want to be a very successful teacher there then you should aim for higher hours because the Middle East is more competitive and you are aiming for a long-term career so more hours will be better for you. Whereas if you're like, yeah, I just want to teach English abroad for a year and then I want to go back home. The 120 hour is more than enough for that. That's kind of how you can figure out which course is right for you and I'm also going to show you in a little bit the differences between those so that you can see kind of what's what but just to know that there are different hours training hours of TEFL courses and the international minimum like Juliana pointed out is over 100 hours and so that's why we offer the 120 hour course because that's the international minimum qualification these days. Yep, you are welcome. Okay, let's move on.  Okay, before I answer this question let me answer Brett's question here. He's saying I have the hard copy of the certificate should a digital one have been sent to me or should I just scan to my thumb drive? Yeah, you should have received a digital one but you did the in-class course, right? You can scan it that works or I would recommend email us and then I think we can also send you a digital one. I'm not sure about actually the in-class one but I'm pretty sure we will still be able to send you a digital version but a scanned one will also work that's essentially, yeah that will work as well. If it's like you just want to make sure that you scan it like properly everything is straight and all but that works as well for sure or just email us this is for everybody if you have any questions about anything that I'm talking about today TEFL TESOL about ITTT email courses at TESOL-TEFL.com and you'll get your answers there from my lovely colleagues. Yeah, good question. All right, so now how do you get a TEFL qualification? Basically, you need to decide what I just mentioned which course you want to take and we have three different kinds of courses at ITTT. We have online TEFL courses we have in-class TEFL courses and we also have combined TEFL and TESOL courses so I have taken only online TEFL courses and actually I started with the 120 hour back in 2014 and I had never taken an online course before I mean 2014 is a long time ago and online courses were kind of just like a new thing I want to say like a newish thing it's not like today where literally everybody's taking an online course and it's like you know no big deal but before it was more it was like oh it's an online course like is it going to be worth it is it going to be you know will I learn something how is it going to work is it good and I really had a good experience I was definitely skeptical it was my first online course and I really enjoyed it it was fun the online course platform is super easy to navigate you also have you can choose a tutored option so you can actually talk with a TEFL tutor if you have any questions but it was everything was pretty straightforward I worked through my units if you're interested in how exactly it works with the online course I did I think two live sessions before where I show you the online platform so you can go to our playlist and check that out how it works it's really straightforward it's super easy you don't you can download the course units as well we have a lot of people doing that and they print it out and they keep it in a folder in a binder you know actually print it out some people like to study that way I actually didn't print anything out I just studied everything on my computer which worked as well so it depends on you what you want to do the in-class course and luckily today we have Brett here who took the in-class course in Rome last year last summer so how that works is it is four weeks at a center in one of our in-class centers around the world so we have Rome for example where Brett was we also have we have Seoul we have places in China we have US locations we have Paris we have many many locations in Europe also Latin America South America it really is we have them all over the world we also have them in Africa there is one in Egypt or two maybe even so I actually have a map that can show you later but those are the in-class courses four weeks at a Tefl location of your choice and you will basically learn the same contents like the online the 120 hour online course but in a classroom setting with a teacher trainer and with other trainees together and you also get to teach actual English learners at this center because they are working English schools with actual students so this is the big benefit of the in-class course that you actually get that teaching experience that you don't have with an online course for example and a combined course basically combines both benefits so first you complete an online part of the course and then you add five to ten days of teaching practice at a location of your choice on top of that so that's the combined course and typically the online course obviously is the cheapest then the combined course and then the in-class in-class is the most expensive because you spend four weeks at a center versus online where you just work at home on your computer so it depends also on your budget and what you want to do after okay very good yeah that's what I already mentioned so our courses are actually here it says between 50 and 550 50 because we also have specialized courses I'm going to talk about that in a second as well and like we already said the minimum for teaching abroad or online is 100 hours at least so you want to aim for the 120 hour course minimum yeah like I just said we have a wide variety of courses at ITTT online combined and in-class we also have specialization courses that you can add to your portfolio once you are already certified that's what I did I took the 120 hour course first and then three separate specialization courses afterwards those are 50 hours I'll show you those in a minute all of our courses are internationally accredited and accepted worldwide and there's actually recruiters and schools around the world that specifically only hire ITTT course graduates we've been working with them for years and they know our brand and our courses and they trust that they value the training so we have established those kind of partnerships and yeah just wanted to mention that so yeah 120 hour course I already touched on that but it's 100% online which is great so there are 20 units I already kind of showed you that teaching methodology and grammar the great thing about this course is that you can study at your own pace you have up to six months to complete this course so this was really great for me when I took the course because I was working full time at the time so I didn't have so much time to study on this course all the time I only did like a couple of hours a week and I was able to finish I think it was four months and in four months but if you obviously have more time for your course you can finish much faster as well at the end you will receive an embossed hard copy certificate which is delivered straight to your door wherever you are in the world and you also get a PDF version of the certificate as soon as you complete so you can apply right away we also have notarization services available so some countries I know that China needs that also Vietnam for their visa purposes they want an additional notarized stamp on there and we can also help you with that but that's rare so only if you want to go to a certain location you will need that but we can also help you with that this course starts at 249 or 339 with tutor support where you can ask a tutor for guidance with this tutor so depending on your study learning style so if you're fine with your studying on your own by yourself working through the units you don't need the tutor support but if it's your first time taking an online course you're not quite sure how to navigate everything you have questions you want to know more then the tutor support would be recommended with 30% off down here you obviously will save a lot of money taking this course and I'm just going to share the link one more time the discount link if anybody wants to take this course today's a great chance to do so and get 30% off so use this code this link teflacourse.net slash apply facebook live this link will get you 30% off so the 120 hour but also all the other ones and if that doesn't work for some reason this link let me know and I'll help you out with that so this is the 120 hour course our most popular option by far and a great choice if you're new to teaching and you want to go broad or you also want to teach online this course is the one to choose alright then these are the specializations that I talked about so those are shorter 50 hour courses and we have business English teaching business English teaching online as well and teaching young learners so teaching children because all of those fields are very niche they're very different from each other so if you're interested in let's say teaching children I was actually teaching children and that's why I took this course and it helped me out a lot teaching children is very different from teaching adults so you're going to learn a lot of these very important techniques to kind of manage children and how to teach complete beginners with any knowledge in English whatsoever can be very challenging and that's kind of what this course is for and we have business English also completely different how to navigate that and then obviously also teaching online also very different you learn a lot of techniques that you can obviously also use when teaching English online you learn a lot of techniques I mean in the standard course that you can also adapt to teaching online but some things just really don't really work in an online setting so this course will focus on how to successfully effectively teach online and kind of activities you can do what kind of tools you can use when teaching online and all of that and those courses they start at only $175 US dollars or $275 with tutor support and again excuse me use the 30% off code and you'll save a lot of money off of that I recommend them I took all of those I enjoyed taking them and you can work through them really quick because they're only 50 hours it doesn't take so long but still you will learn a lot of good stuff there are a lot of resources a lot of stuff you can use afterwards in your classroom so definitely worth it I recommend it those are the specializations those are the bundles those are the ones that are the higher hours 220 hour if you already know so let's take a look 220 hour includes the 120 hour course the standard one and business English and teaching English to young learners so the standard one plus two specialization courses is the 220 hour master package so if you already know that you want to take the business English one and you want to take the young learners one I recommend just going for the bundle right away because it saves you money rather than doing one after another you know that's what I did I first took the 120 hour and then like a year later I took the other one and a year later I took the other one and it's more expensive that way so if you already know hey I want to take this one all three it's cheaper if you just buy the package the bundle same with the 470 hour one same with the 550 hour one it's much cheaper to buy the bundle than paying for all the courses individually so just side note wanted to mention that yeah yeah and as you can see like the 550 hour one includes six different courses six different certifications so you really get the best of the best training with this one highest hours so this is great for people who know yeah I want to teach English long term I want to make this my career 100% then the 550 hour expert package will be the best choice for you so that's just something to think about that's why taking a TEFL course it needs a lot of research and a lot of like just thinking about what you want to do where you want to go with it and then you can make a decision which course is right for you so yeah okay those are the bundles those are the in class courses just real quick I mentioned that already four weeks at a location of your choice and this is the map of all the locations that we have as you can see literally all around the world every continent almost not an Arctic not Antarctica but have a lot of locations there and some of the pictures are actually from our centers so this is what it will look like in the classroom with a teacher trainer and with the other trainees and stuff so yeah if you have something that interests you check it out and you can also ask Brett about his experience this is the combined option that I also just mentioned so it's basically online you complete the online component you also have up to six months to do that and then after that you can spend five eight or ten days at a training center worldwide to get that teaching experience in that's another option that's very popular and we have a lot of US locations so that's very popular in North America we also have a Canada location but many many locations in the US so that's why it's very popular we also have some in Asia and in Europe as well but the most combined course locations are in the US alright we're almost at the end now I just want to also mention this teaching English timeline so a lot of people don't really know how long is this all going to take you know from the beginning to starting to teach how long is this taking so these are the five steps that you will kind of pass through first what we talked about now the whole time how to choose or choose a TEFL course choose the right TEFL course and then number two working through the units those are steps one and two first one you need to pick the right course what I just said depending on what you want to do with it then the kind of course you choose number two work through the units like I said you have up to six months the more courses you take the more time you have also once you're done you receive your certificate your digital one PDF version and a hard copy version and then you are ready for number four applying for jobs and obviously this can take depending on where you want to teach if it's very competitive it also depends on hiring seasons this can take you know can't really say how long this takes applying for jobs until you find the perfect job and then number five you start teaching so down here I put it takes anywhere from four to six months plus and I mentioned this in my last live as well if you want to teach abroad for example I recommend starting this whole process at least a year before because you also have to worry about visa documents and all of this stuff so this will take a while depending on where you go there is a English teaching program in Korea for example called Epic the English program in Korea where English teachers are placed into public schools all across Korea and they recruit almost one year before the start date and that's when you need to be ready that's when you need to be at number four so you already need to have your TEFL certificate by then so the earlier you start the better for teaching online it can go much faster so four to six months is a good timeline for teaching online it goes really fast there also is a application process for most teaching online jobs but obviously you don't need to worry about visa stuff documents you don't need to worry about apartment hunting and booking your plane ticket and stuff and traveling to the other country because it's online you can do this from at home so it's much faster so yeah this is the teaching English timeline just so that you know kind of how long this whole process will take the earlier you start the better and for teaching English abroad like I said a year in advance would be great to start I think this is the last one let me check oh yeah I want to mention this as well because I refer back to our previous live sessions so this is where you can find them on Facebook but also on YouTube and I believe I can click on this link I think yes okay so I'm going to copy this and also share it in this chat so you can easily find it if you don't know how to access the playlist oh no is this the wrong hold on this is my no it's not what I wanted oh yeah it's right it was right I think here this link it added some weird stuff at the end but this is the link where you can find all of our previous live sessions and as you can see we talked about many different topics and this is not even all of it we've been doing this for over a year so there's a lot of material there you can check out and for me and my colleague Lisa who is a non-native English teacher from Russia she taught English in China and now she's in Russia teaching mostly online and she knows a lot of good stuff and has a lot of information for non-native English teachers how to be successful in this field so do check her out as well and what's next ah oh yeah here you can find ITTT online again on our website teflucourse.net on facebook where you're watching many of you on youtube where many of you are watching and we're also on twitter and on instagram check us out and now we have time for a little bit of a Q&A if there's anything that you want to know that I didn't talk about or anything that wasn't clear any additional questions now is your time to ask them before I sign off and again just a reminder 30% off today you can scan this QR code and you can also use this link in the comments down here with um apply facebook live minus

back again next week um we do go live regularly so you're gonna see me again next week same time same place I'll be here um and yeah also if you have any topic suggestions for upcoming live sessions what you want me to focus on or talk about feel free to let me know feel free to let me know or if there are no other questions then maybe yeah I will sign off I did a good job explaining everything maybe don't be shy there are no stupid questions I always say that but yeah thank you so much for everyone watching today I hope you learned something new I know that this topic today was more for um people who are not yet certified so maybe it was not so interesting for people who are already certified and who already know a little bit more about Tefl um so yeah aw brad thank you he's glad I didn't miss it this time we'll definitely be back next week thank you so much for watching for taking some time out of your day you're already certified so maybe it was a little bit boring for you brad but maybe you still learned something but yeah we need to kind of switch it up different topics so I picked this one today because we do get a lot of questions all the time about how to get started so I thought this would be a good topic to talk about today thank you so much for staying on the whole time that's really nice marcia says thank you for everything again linda that information is always worthy thank you you're so sweet I really appreciate all of you who always come back every week every week again brad marcia juliana we all hear every single week fauzan and also all the new

find the end screen yes there it is there's too much going on in this live stream thing okay I found everything alright okay I'm ready alright bye thank you guys bye bye


Okay, for this course, we are going to be working with the code in the code base here on GitHub. You can see the URL at the top of the screen, that is spring framework guru slash kbe-sb for spring boot dash microservices. So this is the repository that we will be working with in this course. We're not going to be getting into a lot of details here, but I do want to point this out. You can see if things are kind of like ready made this like a ready made project that we're going to be working with. And the focus of the course is on deploying to Kubernetes, so we're not going to spend a lot of time on it. But I do want to orient you to the code base itself. So this is the GitHub repository, and I'll be putting a link to this in the course resources as well. And let me toggle over to IntelliJ now and we'll do a quick code review of what's going on here. Okay, I'm over in IntelliJ here. What we have is a multi-module Maven project. You can see here I forgot a number of properties set up for the project. I'm not going to go through this, but we are setting up using Mapstruck, Project Lombok, as well as the Fabricate plugin for Docker to actually produce the Docker images. We have two things set up. One module is the KBE Brewery Gateway. I found there between the stuff bringing in for the spring boot microservices and the spring cloud components. I ran into some dependencies issues, so I separated those out. So the spring boot gateway project is here. So this sets up all the stuff that we need for the gateway module, and this is going to be building into its own Docker image. And then we have our spring boot microservices. We are dealing with four of them to be precise. So we have the beer service. The inventory failover service, the inventory service, and then the Brewery order service. So these are four different spring boot microservices, and again, using the Fabricate Maven plugin, we are able to build all these into independent Docker images. We see here the four spring boot microservices do have a common Maven POM. So if you're not very familiar with Maven, just to recap. So I have a parent level POM. This defines two modules. So we have the Brewery Gateway SB services. The SB services, again, that is its own module. And in that module, we can see that we have the four spring boot microservices defined. So if we were doing this as a real microservices project in an industry, all these would be in separate GitHub repository. So the gateway and all the four spring boot microservices should have their own repository. But for the person, of course, it's much more convenient to bring everything together and configure Apache Maven to build everything for us. Now the one thing that I do want to point out, I'd have this K8 temp. That is going to be deleted eventually. That is my working directory for deploying to Kubernetes. And then finally, we do have Docker compose. And this sets up everything that we need to bring up the entire system, MySQL, Elastic Surge, Kibana, FileBeat, JMS, and then the four services plus the gateway service. And I'll be demonstrating this in a separate video. Here I just wanted to orient you to the actual code base. I'm not going to be going through all the spring boot microservices themselves. There's quite a bit of code there. Again, this is copied over from my spring boot microservices course where I take everything step by step, but it gets some pretty interesting examples as to how those work and we're going to be focusing on deploying with it. And you can see here in the compose file, we are setting up a number of environment variables to get everything up and running. And I'm going to be detailing this in an upcoming lesson.


Steamed RUN! Cider Arcade is a shoot-'em-up on Steam that was very clearly made by people who love shoot-'em-ups. The gameplay here is like a combination between Defender and R-Type, where you can toggle your direction back and forth between left and right, and a helpful map in the upper right-hand corner lets you know where enemies and power-ups are located as you traverse the area. The game is balanced well, it's difficult without feeling unfair, and I'm saying this as someone who usually sucks at shoot-'em-ups. The controls are dead-on, so if you die, it's your fault. Cider Arcade has a campaign consisting of six levels, as well as a survival mode, which is pretty self-explanatory. There's four different ships to choose from, and it really matters which one you pick, so I'd recommend to take care and try out each one to see what matches your style of gameplay. For example, I choose the slow one with heavy armor because I suck at shoot-'em-ups, so I know I'm going to take a lot of damage. More skilled players will like the quicker ships better because it's easier to dodge and pick your spots. Cider Arcade is all substance and not many bells and whistles, but the game does an excellent job of appealing to all players. For instance, for novices at shoot-'em-ups who suck like I do, this is a great game to get hooked on the genre, a good starting point. The ships and the difficulty settings have enough flexibility that you're likely to find a good balance for how you play, and shoot-'em-up experts can also find some challenge here as well, especially in survival mode. There is a story here, kind of, but it consists of like three characters, the grizzled old ship captain and a superior officer who bicker back and forth throughout the game, that stuff is obviously not important, and it's not going to make or break the game, but they did a nice enough job with it. They hit a nice note with the music in this game as well. It's a little quieter and more laid-back, and that better enables you to get into a trance as you progress through the game. A really nice and unexpected feature here is being able to choose a graphics filter so you can really screw with how the game looks, so that's really cool. Anyway, I'm a big fan of games that make sure to get the substance of the gameplay a priority first and foremost, especially in shoot-'em-up games like this, because if you do the gameplay correctly, you don't usually need any other features or modes or story or dialogue or whatever else.  So yeah, for shoot-'em-up players old and new, check out Cider Arcade.


Just left hand up a tee, but yeah, that's it. Lovely. How many of them you got, Richie? One. Just the one? Just the one. Just the one, yeah? Like the best. Are you guys ready for that? Yes, good. Yeah! Why are you beating me? You should have passed it, though. You should have passed it. Oh, well, then let's do it. Yeah, yeah, just stand there. Just one minute, thought it went in. Just waiting for that. Waiting for that. Like the Doncaster match, they're going to be here to frustrate. So defensive-wise, Newport's come with five at the back. City building now, small. It takes a chance on that. Waiting for that. Ball off, Brody finally gives us it. I see the opening. I just thought I've got a shoot, and luckily it went in. I take that. I really wanted the ball for the celebration, but I kept a bit of it there. What was the thought process behind the celebration? My wife's pregnant, so I just wanted the ball to do the usual celebration, but he booted it away, so I had to stick with the thumb in the mouth for the dummy celebration. Little fist pumping run to the crowd. Brody, you feel it needed a couple of celebrations? Yeah, I felt like at the time of the game, I thought it was early. It was nice to get the early goal. We've struggled in the early parts of the game. Getting the first goal in the game, so to give us something to hold onto. I felt it was a big moment in the game, and it put us on to go on and get big free points. You first goal for the club as well as a special way to land it? Yeah, it was, yeah. I'm just watching it back from the angle behind the goal, and a special goal for me, a proud moment for me as well, and one that I'm very happy of. Ultimately though, the moment when it hits the net, what was that like? Well, I can't remember it hitting the net really. I sort of celebrated before I went inside. I didn't actually see it until I hit the net, so I'm watching it back now, really, or watch it back after the game. Now, then one that they don't come on too often, so you've got to celebrate it when they do. A rare moment then. I guess we're not going to see plenty more like that, but we might see plenty more days like that. Yeah, hopefully it's more about the end goal of the end of the 90 minutes, really more than what goes on in the pitch, but it's nice to score goals like that. If I can get one more, if I don't get any more, it's nice that at least I can see I've got one on the board. And just finally, that recognition you've got from the league now? Yeah, not. It's beautiful, beautiful. Again, very proud to receive this, and like I said, probably don't expect too many from me this season like that, but I can get enough of one of these somehow. Like the Doncaster match, they're going to be here to frustrate, so defensive-wise, Newport have come with five at the back. City-building now, Smallwood takes a 10-something out. Richie Smallwood with his first goal in Clare and Amber have given Bradford City the lead. Is Bradford City won? Newport counting ill. Lee Duxbury won a strike. Well, we're just looking on your piece of paper, thinking, is he right for it now? Because if he's left-footed, he swung that, and it's just perfect timing. Straight in the top corner from 20 yards out. What a goal that was. The perfect start for Bradford City, and if the atmosphere wasn't already electric, it's just gone up a couple of notches. Newport County look a bit shut. They're taking on some water, so the Bradford City players, actually, we have been told up and down the EFL and the Premier League this weekend that there will be additional water breaks due to the high heat here in West Yorkshire and across the country. If you are just joining us, seven-and-a-half minutes gone here at Ballet-Barre. Bradford City won. Newport counting ill. Richie Smallwood with his first goal in Bradford City. It was a peach of a goal. His left foot there, outside the D into that top right corner, Lee Duxbury. Bradford City, well, the perfect start.


One last note before we do though. Now that we have two functional groups it's important to note that you must number your main chain so that the highest priority functional group gets the lowest possible number. Okay some fairly easy ones first to show you how to deal with alkenes and alkynes that have extra functional groups. Here we have something that's both an alkene and an alcohol. Alcohols come further up the priority list so the name is going to end in all. There are five carbons so it's based on pentane but there's a double bond so that makes it pentene and then we add the all and that gives us pentene all. However we need to put in some numbers to say where the OH and the double bond are. So we number from the alcohol end and that gives us pentene one all. Okay next this is an alkyne but also a ketone. Note that the carbonyl group is not on an end carbon. So we find the main chain that's seven carbons long and it has a triple bond so that makes it heptine and it's a ketone so then we add the own suffix and it becomes heptine own. Now we need to number those functional groups as before so we start from the right and that gives us hept three-ine two-one. And lastly there's this methyl group here on carbon number five as a substituent so we end up with five methyl hept three-ine two-one. Okay now for a couple of trickier ones. First one find the main chain. Here it is and it's seven carbons long so it's heptane. It has a carboxylic acid group on this end and an alcohol group in the middle. Of those two the carboxylic acid has the higher priority so the root of the name is heptanoic acid and now we just have to treat the alcohol as a substituent. You'll see from your notes that when an alcohol group is not the priority group it's known as hydroxy and in this molecule it's on carbon number four, numbering from the right where the carboxylic acid is. So that gives us four hydroxy heptanoic acid. Okay the second one the main chain here is six carbons long. The two functional groups are a ketone and a carboxylic acid. Again the acid wins in terms of priority so we have hexanoic acid and our list tells us that when the ketone is not the priority group it's known as oxo and here it is on the fourth carbon so this molecule is four oxo hexanoic acid.


The use of a ternary donor alloy strategy was employed to optimize the energy levels of the charge transfer states in organic solar cells resulting in a significant reduction of the energy loss associated with charge generation. This optimization led to an increase in both the open circuit voltage and the power conversion efficiency of the organic solar cell while maintaining its short circuit current density and fill factor.

My name is Susan Marching, and I'm the convener of Indonesian at SOAS University. Indonesian can be part of many degree programs at SOAS. And today I will talk about why you should study Indonesian at SOAS. First, I will talk about interesting facts about Indonesia. Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world, but it also has the largest Buddhist temple in the world. Indeed, Indonesia has a long history of Buddhism and Hinduism before Islam came. And I will discuss this in more detail in class. Indonesia is the most populous country in the world with over 270 million people, a large proportion of which is made up of young people under 30. So this is a promising sign on the Indonesian economy. Indonesia is the biggest producer, consumer and exporter of palm oil in the world, and the numbers are growing. This means that Indonesia will become a very important supplier of biofuels. And this is something you can work on if you want to study Indonesia. Because while biofuel is good source for renewable energy, palm oil causes huge deforestation. We can also say that Indonesia is a contradictory society. For instance, you may have heard that Indonesia is a patriarchal country. However, it also has the largest matrilineal society in the world. Matrilineal means surnames are transmitted from mothers and inheritance is transferred from mothers to daughters. This matrilineal society is called Minangkabal. It is in the western part of Indonesia on an island called Sumatra. According to the ethnic tradition, if you are a man and you get married, then you have to follow your wife.  Besides, Indonesia also has various societies that recognize more than two genders. For instance, the Buki Society in the eastern part of Indonesia. The Buki's people recognize five genders. Only they have words for men and women, but also female men, male women and transgender. The religious priest of the Buki Society has to be transgender. This priest is called Bisu. Why the priest has to be transgender? Because they believe that the combination of male and female elements make a person perfect. To investigate this further, you need an institution that provides you with expert in different areas and with a good library. So as is the leading institution in the UK to study about Indonesia. Let us talk a bit about the language now. Indonesia is in the top 10 most languages spoken in the world. Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world with more than 18,000 islands and with over 700 living languages spoken. Indonesian became the national language of Indonesia only in 1928. At that time, it was spoken by only about 5% of the population. So Indonesia was almost everyone's second language then. Indonesian language is actually from Malay. There are some slight differences in Pakepulian grammar, but not much. So if you learn Indonesian, you will understand Malay too. So it's like a buy one, get one free. Language is also spoken in Brunei and Singapore in addition to Malaysia. I know when you learn language, you mainly learn it to converse with people but to learn Indonesian language. So as you will not only learn how to converse with people, but you will also learn about culture, history and how to think about the language analytically. For instance, I will discuss why there is hardly any gender in Indonesian language. I know English doesn't really have a grammatical gender as many other languages do, such as French, Spanish, German and Russian. English doesn't have masculine or feminine pronouns. However, English still has he and she. Whereas in Indonesian, there's only one word for he and she, dia. Why is this? Well, this is one of the topics I will discuss in class because it's just too complicated to explain it here. Many people believe that basic Indonesian is actually very easy to learn. You can master day-to-day conversation in a short time. And yes, usually my students have learned Indonesian for about a year, can go to Indonesia and get by. Indonesian is written in European alphabet, the pronunciation is phonetic and it is non-formal. Of course, we can study about the easiness of the language further in class. Is it really easy to learn? Or is there anything more complicated in the language that people fail to notice? At SOS, there are many opportunities for students to study abroad too. SOS students can also apply for several scholarships to study in Indonesia. So yes, we will have a lot of interesting discussions if you learn Indonesian language at SOS. Thank you.


So Craig, how nice was it to have Brett back and obviously in perfect form as we saw on Sunday? Yeah, obviously it was it was great to have him back there. I think our players felt the energy from him being back and you know just having a guy that's done it for so long going out there and punting the ball extremely well you know having both his punts down inside the five-yard line was just awesome for us and it obviously helped out our team too. Anytime you can get a team pin back you know inside the five-yard line it's obviously going to help us out. No, I mean Brett just does what he needs to do as far as when we tell him to try to kick the ball close to the sideline. He understands that he has a certain line to get to and he'll pick out some place on the football field where he'll have his line whether it's whole body or it's footwork and things like that but without giving away too much of his secrets you know he just does such an excellent job of pinning teams on a sideline and it just makes them tough for them to return it. In the past he's compared it to golf is that a parallel that you can make? Oh man he loves to talk about golf. Me on the other hand I'm terrible at it you know I got a terrible slice so I really can't really comprehend some things that he says about his swing which is a lot better than mine but yeah it's a similar type of mindset you know and it's the same swing over and over and over again that he's obviously done a really good job with not to say that he's perfected it but he continues to have a smooth swing and obviously he does the certain things to help him out with that. Do you ever play golf with him and how's it going? I have not because I would be totally embarrassed and he would probably look at me like wow that's really bad Craig so I don't really feel like him coaching me up either on that so I kind of leave that as the specialist job to go out there and do their thing together and then just let me you know coach football. James Wilhite helped you guys out this year in the kicker post? Yeah a lot you know happy with James that he's part of our our team you know he's he's got a different way of coaching which is great like everyone else has you know he's he sits back there and he watches everything and you know if he has a point to make he'll just go over there and talk to him and doing a different way that maybe myself or Matt Edwards would or even coach for Abel would so it's been a good calming presence that he can go over there and talk to those guys and they can run some things off of him too hey you know if I do this could you take a look at that you know because he's obviously done it a long time so it's really helped us out and you know I'm happy for him. So when you say he does a little different you're saying he's kind of a little bit more of a take it all in guy instead of an instruction? Yeah and I think that was one of the things that we talked to James in this whole process was we don't want him to go there and coach every single second like sometimes a punter and a kicker has just got to go out there and learn from their own mistakes and you know when you get a guy thinking about too many different things it could actually just ruin the guy so James has been that guy where he sits back there and watches maybe four to five reps and if things are maybe going off just a little bit he'll be like hey Randy this is what I see Brett this is what I see and then they'll be like oh okay yeah I see that too now and that's that's been a great thing because he's not always sitting there in their ear every single rep of talking to him and I think our players like that too. Does that come from maybe his experience just being in the position just knowing he doesn't need somebody in his ear all the time? For sure you know sometimes kickers like reinforcement right away some of them want to hear it later on some of them might not hear it at all in practice they might want to go to the film room and watch it so it's it's been good that he ends up just having a different perspective and he's done it for so long whether it's you know through the summer when he was coaching kids or whether when he was playing at the University of Tennessee I think that's really helped him along the way of giving those guys that perspective. Would you help I guess face division opponents as far as kind of knowing what they do we kind of know what they're for those games? Yeah you know it's funny just talking to their special teams coordinator a lot you know every time we play each other it's like okay we know how you do things you know how we do things it's really just going out and executing and playing hard playing with effort and finish finishing longer than the guy with the ball you know all those little execution stuff that we talk about throughout the course of the week really helps us out so it's not like we're going to totally surprise Indy on our personnel or anything like that and same vice versa we just got to go out and execute better than they do. Is Bullock getting I guess increasingly hard to to unseat do you think with with one week after another consistency? Yeah I mean we'll always take a look you know weekly basis but it's tough when a guy is is on he's hot right now you know he's done a real good job kicking the ball you know when Sam gets back or whoever we'll end up making that decision when that happens but you know right now we're really excited how Randy's kicking the ball and happy for him so when that comes along we'll end up talking about it a little bit later. Definitely I you know I remember him when he was playing with the Browns and when he ended up getting cut from the Browns a couple years ago you know I reached out to their special teams coordinator just to you know talk about the the kid itself and he loved him and he's done both kickoff return and punt return so that's something that we're going to work with him a lot and you know if he gets the opportunity he can step up and play for us.


Usberg Mann found guilty of double murder, Miller dropped from corporate name, guards assaulted at Lincoln Hills charges pending. These and other local stories are coming up on this edition of Community News Review. This is Community News Review, a service WSES-TV news content provided by WHBL. I'm Maddie Fister and this is Community News Review for Thursday, October 31st, 2019. Happy Halloween. It is good news for trick-or-treaters. It is not good news for trick-or-treaters. A strong system is likely to keep many indoors tonight with a tricky combo of cold, wind, and snow. Light rain transitions to snow overnight continuing through the midnight witching hour tomorrow. Winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour will combine with nearly freezing temperatures to make it feel close to 20 degrees. Advisories have been issued for Sheboygan County. An early forecast put about an inch or two on the ground near Lake Michigan, while up to five inches of wet heavy snows are possible in the western reaches. Those looking to launch a small business venture can get help thanks to virtual classroom sessions offered Saturday mornings in November by the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation and SCORE. Volunteers comprised of retired executives and the first three sessions take place at South High beginning this Saturday morning with the final session at Glass Coffee House Conference Center and Collette Seizer, Sheboygan County's newest SCORE volunteer organized the free classes which would typically cost $35 each. Financing, legal issues, and digital marketing trends will be covered in the four sessions. For more information contact the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation. A guilty sentence has been handed down in the case of Sergio Oca of Usberg. Oca was on trial for about three weeks for a double murder from 2017. Yesterday, 43 year old Oca was found guilty of first degree reckless homicide. Oca killed two men including his cousin in Usberg home in July of 2017. Though he said he shot them in self-defense, according to court documents, Oca was charged after police found his cousin, Luis Garcia of Usberg and Fernando Lopez of Milwaukee, dead in a Usberg home. They had been shot several times and Oca turned himself in to Sheboygan police later and told them at the time he didn't mean to do what he did. According to some witnesses the shooting was allegedly due to an argument over money. Oca's sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 14th and he faces up to 80 years in prison and 40 years of extended supervision. Up to 10 more charges are pending after a series of disturbances at the state's juvenile prison at Lincoln Hills in September. Guards were injured in the altercations on September 27th and 28th at Lincoln Hills School for Boys. The Milwaukee Journal-Senator reports that a third incident occurred on September 30th, according to a document submitted to Milwaukee County Health and Human Needs Committee ahead of its Wednesday meeting. One 20-year-old inmate Avery Fredrich of Milwaukee has been charged with a felony for allegedly strangling a guard with another guard's nose and was broken and others suffered knee and shoulder injuries. Governor Evers has proposed closing Lincoln Hills in favor of smaller youth facilities focused on mental health. That plan will not happen until at least 2021. A bombshell in the brewing industry as part of a major corporation reorganization, Molson Miller Coors' parent company is dropping brewing and miller from its brand name. The company will now be known as Molson Coors' beverage company. According to a press release, Chicago will become the company's new North American operations headquarters, but several positions that were based throughout the United States will move to its Milwaukee office. Up to 500 positions will be eliminated elsewhere within the company. These changes are effective January 1st. Finally, Halloween may be known for trick-or-treating costumes and spooky decorations, but the scariest part of the holiday is the increased danger to motorists and pedestrians. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NHTSA, 42% of those killed in motor vehicle crashes on Halloween night from 2013 to 2017 were crashes involving an impaired driver. Halloween is also part of one of the three top days for pedestrian industries and fatalities each year. AAA offers the following safety reminders for pedestrians, motorists, and trick-or-treaters. Motorists, put it down. Avoid checking social media, checking text messages, and talking on the phone while driving. Drive slower through neighborhoods. Driving five miles per hour slower than the posted speed limit will give you an extra time to react to the children that dart out in front of you. Turn on your headlights to make sure you are more visible. Even in the daylight, drive sober. Nearly 40% of fatal crashes on Halloween night involve a drunk driver. Always designate a sober driver if you plan to drink any alcohol. For trick-or-treaters, stay on sidewalks and avoid walking in streets if possible. If there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the road facing traffic. Look both ways and listen for traffic before crossing the street. Cross streets only at the corner and never cross between parked vehicles or mid-block, wear light-colored clothing or costumes with reflective material or tape for best visibility. For parents, walk with your children as they go door to door. Be sure to show them safe places to cross the street. Have children carrying a glow stick or flashlight to help them see and be seen by drivers. If using social media, post pictures and updates before or after you go out trick-or-treating, to avoid being on your phone while walking or supervising children. Whether it is avoiding distractions or taking time to look before crossing the street, these are things both motorists and pedestrians can do to help keep everyone safe. We want Halloween to be a fun evening, so be smart, be safe and be seen. And that is our report for today. Join me again on Tuesday for more local news and information on Community News Review.


Quick story. These are pretty horrific stories.  This is from this is a story that came out about this this week. I think a Barry Weiss maybe has written about this. I'm not sure I read about it in the new summary coming out of Barry Weiss's newsletter. So at least to some extent you wrote about it. This is about the whole trans phenomena and particularly when it comes to children and the idea of transitioning children, getting them on blockers and doing double vasectomies and all kind of the surgery completely changing them to flip them to the opposite sex. And what is happening in the culture in which we live, at least in parts of it, I think very small parts of it, but this has immense influence on kids because it's the it's those institutions that affect kids. There's a glamourization of the whole trans phenomena. There's a glamourization of this idea of flipping this a celebration of yay finally we can become who we really are by chopping off parts of our bodies. And it's really interesting if you look at the statistics that there were used to be trans was mostly a phenomena of men wanting to become women. And today it's primarily a phenomena of girls, young women wanting to become men. So it's but anyway, Boston Children's Hospital put out a series Boston Children's Hospital one of the premier hospitals in the country for children really. I mean Boston is healthcare capital in many respects and Boston Children's Hospital put out a series of videos, informational supposedly videos, talking about trans issues, and it really comes across as a celebration and you know, wow, wow, and all excited. I mean, it was so bad that they've actually taken down some of the videos now because of the backlash against us. And it's just it's part of this propaganda and part of this, for example, is and I watched this video, I couldn't believe the quotes actually went and watched the video. On one of these videos, this woman is saying, children know from when they are born that they don't have the right sex. And one of the signs for that is they don't want to have a haircut. Like girls want long hair boys and children. I mean, not that long ago we were told by the left, by the feminists that there are no differences between men and women. Now we're told that there are deep, unchangeable differences between men and women. That you know, so that they're so deep that people are born with these male and female characteristics, including whether they want to have a haircut or not. Now I, by the way, have never met a child who wanted a haircut. None of my kids wanted a haircut or excited about getting a haircut.  It's just bizarre. Children from where we are, from when they're born, they know that their gender is misassigned.  Now this is insane. Insane.  My wife is one of them, right? And then grew up to be very feminine women. It's, this is true anti-science insanity, completely insanity. So, and trans has become the militant issue of the militant left in ways that are just particularly disgusting and perverse and maddening. And this has been done and inflicted ultimately on children. So, Boston Children's Hospital at some point in its defense claimed that, no, we don't operate on children. Turns out they did a 15 year olds. And as I said, nobody under 18 who is legally an adult should be allowed to transition. They should be able to make that decision as adults. This should be not be celebrated. People who have whatever psychological condition, you know, separates their biology from how they feel about themselves. This is, this is something to feel sorry for them. This is, this is disturbing. This is not good. You know, try to help them and maybe in some cases they need surgery. But it's not something to be celebrated. It's not something to be striving for. It's not something to be encouraging young people to embrace. It is insane. And as part of this, there is the story about some academics who are now claiming, it starts with a new performance of Joan of Arc, the play in London at the London Shakespeare Theatre in which Joan of Arc is portrayed as, as neither male nor female. And with, you know, she's addressed as they, them, whatever pronouns. And as trance, the Joan of Arc is trained. And why, why is Joan of Arc treated? Because she exhibits masculine features. She's strong. She's a leader.   And not only that, they're now going back and rewriting history and making all strong women, all strong women in history, all leaders and exhibit quote masculine traits. They must be trenching. So what the left today is claiming, which should horrify anybody who was a feminist, is a feminist, tangential to feminism, that basically what the trans movement is claiming today is the women should stay in the kitchen, should have kids, should not be ambitious, should not be strong, should not lead, should not be powerful, should, should not be any, because if they are, then they're really men. They're not really women. Whoops. Men are strong. They're leaders. They're innovative, courageous innovators. And women are not, should not, I mean, iron man. I mean, you want to tell iron man, she was not a woman. I mean, this is, this is not ironic. This is real. This is insanity. And, and there's a whole academic thing about this. So what they're really trying to do, of course, and this is the key, this is what the transgender movement is trying to do. And again, I, you know, I feel bad for people who are transgender and whatever it is, it is right, their movement, what the movement is trying to do is eviscerate femininity, masculinity. What they're trying to do is eviscerate sex.  They are fundamentally, and through and through, they're nihilists.  They want all of you to be asexual.  They are nihilists through and through. They want to knock and destroy and, and tear you down. And they are vicious.  And we're going to hear a lot more about it now. There's a huge backlash against this. I mean, the trans movement was very strong in England in the UK. There's a big backlash against it. They just shut down the big government funded hospital that was doing all this transition surgery and everything. There's a huge backlash, again, not against transgender people, but against this movement that celebrates it, that is trying to destroy sexuality. And that's what needs to be fought.

Sunday morning, June 5th, just before 10 a.m. Anyway, we're all getting our day started, getting dressed and all that. Elizabeth and I, my sister, need to run to the grocery store really quick, and I think Rebecca and Polly are going to come over for lunch, impromptu lunch. We're gonna kind of try it. Yep, what's in the fridge? All the massive amounts of lettuce my dad brought me last week. Anyway, if it's not slimy yet. Um, past that, I don't know what we're doing with the day, but we're doing at least that. It is June 6th, the 8 27 a.m. Don't get excited. I'm at the computer desk because, you know, otherwise I have no idea. Anyway, I didn't film much yesterday because we just spent time with the family, with my sister and the kids, and we went and ran a few errands. My sister's a retired cosmetologist, and so when she is in town, we take her over to the beauty supply, and we get shampoo and hair color if we need it. Obviously, I don't color my hair, but you know what I mean. Anyway, we did a bunch of that. We just hung out as a family, and that was a lot of fun. Today is Monday, so I need to do some stuff on Facebook, and I need to edit the vlog for last week. The vlog is edited and loading. All the weekly posts are written and scheduled, and it's not even 10 a.m. yet. I'm ahead of schedule, but I'm not mad about it. All right, on to the next. I'll be back. So it's after lunch. My sister has gone over to my daughter's house. She's going to help her organize the kitchen and pantry cabinet. My sister is like an organizing queen. She does feng shui, all of that stuff. Anyway, she has a business doing that, and if you need help with some of that, I will put her information down below. Check her out. Anyway, she's on her way over to do that, and at least figuring out what to do over there is going to be a whole afternoon project. So anyway, and then I took the painting that I just finished and rearranged this wall. I love it. Also, everything is straight. I put them, they are up there with nails, but I also put a little command strip behind it so they stay where they're supposed to. Anyway, I didn't expect to do that today. That's as close a look as you get. It's an upcoming art for therapy video. I didn't expect to do that today, but there you have it. So we're going to let it dry, and I will be finishing the video sometimes this week. I don't know. And anyway, I'm going to plug the yield camera in and recharge it because yeah, I'm having battery issues. Anyway, I'm going to do that and take care of a couple more things and then maybe turn that off for the day. What time is it? It is 3.47, so it's just about time anyway. All right, I'll be back. We are near grammar school and sometimes the kids drop things out of their backpacks on their way home. I found colored pencils and stuff today. I found a sticker still on the backing paper. We'll put that in the journal tonight. Anyway, one of the neighbors down here is remodeling their house. They pretty much tore the whole thing down and are rebuilding it. So we're gonna go check out today's progress and see what else we can see. I'll be back. Good morning, but it's 2.17 p.m. Tuesday, June 7th. I know. You know, my sister's here visiting.  So anyway, I'm here in front of the computer. I'm gonna check on some things. I really wasn't gonna do any more work on the next art for therapy video. That's all you're gonna see right now. But I'm really getting the impression that I need to work on it. So I might be doing that, maybe? We'll see. I do have to pick my art data at the airport at 4.30 p.m. So but I have time to maybe play a little bit before I could do that. So we'll see. I'll be back. It is Wednesday, June 8th, 9.30 p.m. Got the windows open. It's supposed to be a beautiful 70 plus degree day. Yeah, and I thought these art for therapy boards were done and the video was done, but I might need to do a couple more things to them today, later today. So anyway, Wednesday is usually my check the peel box airing day. I don't know if I'm gonna do it today. I might do it tomorrow. We'll see. Anyway, just having a nice relaxing start to our morning and we'll take it from there. I'll be a new art for therapy piece. Video is edited and I'm just waiting a second till the computer will let me save it. It's thinking. Anyway, and after a little bit of a touch up, I think as I said earlier, the actual piece is done and drying and then I can put some sealer on it and get on to the next thing. I do have this cute little rectangular canvas.  I saw these little guys and I'm yeah, and I have this picture I took when we were in seaside and then I abstracted it a few times. So these are this is my inspiration board to do something. I think doing something like that on here would be cool. So next project. And I of course have some watercoloring and stuff to do. So anyway, feeling pretty good this morning. It's a beautiful day out. We've got the windows open when I had downstairs for lunch. I'm gonna open the sliding door. So it's all good. Alright, that's it for the minute. Oh, we're gonna replant my avocado seed. So last year I think I sprouted or maybe the year before I started sprouting an avocado seed from just a store bought avocado. And it got a lot of roots but never did anything else except grow roots.  So it's time to put it in some dirt. I hope I don't kill it. And I actually have a dead kitchen window plant that needs to come out. So I'm gonna replace the one with the other and cross your fingers. Alright, I'll be back have lunch. I got the I think I already said the video is saving. I also got our old coffee table and end table. We're trying to sell them. And I had them listed on Facebook and Craigslist yesterday. I forgot Facebook marketplace. So I just did that. And then I planted the avocado seed. There you go. And a pot watered it. Cross your fingers. Okay, now we're gonna go check the mail and then we'll eat lunch. Alright, I think the holiday house is ready for Independence Independence Day. What do you think? Looks pretty good out for our evening walk. We're both kind of tired today for no particular reason. I don't know maybe the change in the seasons because we went from cold to hot again. I don't know. Anyway, we're gonna go get some steps in and see what we can see. I'll be back. Everybody it is Thursday morning, June something. I don't know. Hold on just before 10 am like literally one minute before 10.  I took my time getting ready this morning because one I felt like it but two I got a color depositing hair mask in a purpley silver color. I want to have something that I can use to moisturize my hair that will help me tone it when it starts to get a little bit yellowy. Those of you who have gray or silver hair know what I mean so I got a hair mask and I was kind of worried it would like turn my hair purple but actually it didn't and I don't know completely at what the color is gonna be because my hair is still wet but I do I do think it like got rid of all I had some yellowy ends and I think they're more brown now and not yellow which is perfect.  My skin was oily, my hair was oily then menopause hit, the skin's dry, hair's dry, everything's dry. I know it's TMI but sorry if I made you spit your coffee out I'm sorry uh anyway so you know I put lots of more moisturizer on my face now I put um you know some kind of hair mask and stuff on my hair on a regular basis minimum once a month I'm trying to get into the better habit of doing it maybe a little bit more than that and if I'm going to do it I like the idea of this color depositing hair mask if it works so my hair does feel really good this morning so we'll see plus I got some new leave-in treatments um when we were at the beauty supply and so that also seemed to be helping a lot so anyway we're going to go run some errands this morning not about my hair we're going to go run some errands this morning we've got to go check the PO box not that y'all send me happy mail but you know you can if you want the address is below um I need printer ink I need to drop off some donations like there's just kind of a list of random things so um I'm not going to do the grocery shopping because I'd rather do that with Bob but I do need to go pick up some salad at one of the places I go to so we'll see all right I'm gonna go get it done and I'll be back okay guys as part of creating this um art for therapy piece that I did video coming soon um into a completed piece of artwork I'm really getting the very strong feeling to attach them all together one to the other so I'm going to be screwing the boards together putting two screws between each one and screwing all seven of them together will it be stable no idea but I guess we'll find out I'll be back I was going to put these together a different way by screwing them in from this way but we don't have the right attachments for the drills to do that kind of thing so I added little pieces of wood and some screws from the backside from this way and then e 6000 in between now is that going to be able to hold up I don't know am I going to have to add more wood probably and I'm thinking I'll get some little like trim wood and maybe add a frame around all of the edges on the outside and then nail that in or screw that in and that should that should strengthen the piece the whole piece up but yeah I think it's headed in I'm feeling like it's headed in a good direction so now I'm going to clean up my mess and put the tools away before the husband finds out I was in his toolbox oops all back in the hardware store we've got a finished coat on the canvases which again are all hooked together and frame pieces are cut and stained everything's got a dry and then I can put it together let's hope I do a decent job all right I'll be back you have it I added some filler to the corners when that dries I will touch it up with some more of the gray stain but that completed it and now it's it looks good it's stable and the nails are copper which I just I don't know there's something about the copper nails anyway all right let's let it dry and I'll be back it is actually almost lunchtime it's after 11 am I've had a slow start to my morning I slipped in for one which I'm not mad about anyway the 56 inch long art therapy piece is done and dry it's turned over to the back side because we need to put picture hangers on it my husband's going to help me hang it this weekend and the little bit of wall space we have left I'm going to I need to sign it and date it so that'll be on the list of things to do today and then I'm going to start a new piece over here I'm done checking with social media I checked on my cousin aka fourth sister third sister I we really grew up together spending a lot of time with at each other's houses mostly me at her house and she had some pretty serious health issues recently she was in the hospital for a bit but she's on the mend so those of you who feel up to it reach out in the comments below and wish my cousin Teresa a speedy recovery so anyway so that's all I also made a new to-do list and tonight after Bob gets off work I think we're going grocery shopping because we
