Week 10 of the Paris Marathon training vlog and it's been another epic week this week We reached 200 park runs I run a half marathon as fast as I can possibly go and I get a rather stern email From a very arrogant Kiwi.  I did go to the track. I did five times 1000 meters at marathon pace or just a bit faster than marathon pace So no really really fast running just marathon pace effort For five kilometers now we can pretty much skip over Tuesday If you've been following the Paris marathon training series Then you'll know what happens on the Tuesday, and if you don't go and have a look at my Strava Strava is there for everyone to see all my training sessions are on it So go and check out Strava, but Tuesday was an easy day. You see Wednesday is when the week really gets interesting because I Went out running with Stuart Mills now Stuart has been following the Paris marathon training series and emailed me a few days before Quite sternly to tell me That I was doing it all wrong, but the thing is Stuart isn't just any old guy Emailing me to tell me I'm doing it wrong Stuart is a really well-respected Ultra runner and has run in a GV vest before even though he's a Kiwi He's been living in the UK for years and he's running a GV vest Let me let Stuart explain a few of his credentials to you. I've won beachy-head marathon eight times Won the late 100 twice I did my best road marathon at London Marathon In 1995 when I was training for Ironman and that was 229 And you've run for Great Britain of course. Yes. Yes, and that was at the 2011 at the age of 148 In the elite team. This is not the masters. This is the Great Britain elite team. Yeah as a world the IAU international association of ultra World championships Stuart and I ran for about 24 kilometers on Wednesday morning And by the time we'd finished and had a cup of coffee together He had convinced me to scrap my plans for the last three weeks of marathon training and Listen to his advice See I had been planning to do two 100 mile weeks With a two-week taper at the end of my marathon training block And I'd also been planning to run a half marathon at marathon pace To check that my heart rate was going to be at the right level For marathon running after my run with Stuart That was all out the window. I did do a hard interval session on Wednesday evening though So as usual on Zwift We did the Paris marathon interval training session Along with loads of other people who are coming to join us in Paris for the Paris marathon And we did an under over interval session which we've done three times before in this training block So you've seen it before Five minutes under threshold and then five minutes above threshold Five minutes under threshold and then four minutes Over threshold a little bit faster five minutes under threshold and then three minutes even faster than two and then one minute Thursday was my usual two easy sessions on Zwift nice climbing session in the morning Relaxed bag that badge session in the evening So if you are watching this and enjoying it and finding it useful or interesting Please do hit that subscribe button Click the bell notification icon as well. So you're notified every time we upload a new video on the film My run channel if you're a premium YouTube subscriber then no adverts But if you're not there might be one here now And also before we continue just a quick thank you to my sponsors Zwift and also noble pro Noble pro treadmills there's a link down below if you're looking to buy a treadmill Then noble pro have some of the best most affordable smart treadmills on the market Please go and check out the link below where you can get a discount with my code So I'm going to leave it to Stu to explain to you why he feels that doing two 100 mile weeks in the closing stages of my marathon training block is a terrible idea Yeah, as I politely gently explained in the email to it It's a stupid idea. Your body needs time to adapt and and the physical training is You don't need that much especially not two weeks out of not even three weeks out your last big week Should ideally be four weeks out your last big week. So then you've got four weeks Where you're beginning to ease down training all training is is making So when you're on that start line, you feel that you are prepared to achieve the goals you want to achieve Mentally, you feel you're mentally prepared Stu also has some really interesting ideas about the psychology of running and I'll let him explain a little bit about why a lot of your running confidence is Not to do with how physically well trained you are but how much you've got it up there Endurance performance is only indirectly Determined by your physical training and that's because Endurance performance is mainly determined by your emotion and your self expectations and so what you're trying to do with your physical training is to Improve your self expectations. So you feel when you're on that start line, you feel prepared So that's what physical training is to make you feel prepared. So it's like that quote Whether you believe you can or you believe you can't you're right exactly at the start of the the build-up so right I used to ask my athletes three questions what Do you want from the race? Yeah, so what do you want to achieve? Why Do you want to achieve it? Yeah, and how much? How much doesn't matter that you achieve it? So why is your goal? What do you want to do? Why do you want to do it? And how much do you want it? Those are the questions you have to ask yourself One thing I really wanted to do was make it to 200 park runs and we did that on Saturday at Worthing park run 200th park run I wore two sashes the video is linked right up there If you want to go and watch it had a lovely time and met an Olympian and an age group world record holder to boot Week 10 was supposed to be another high mileage week a hundred miles according to my plan However, following Stu's advice I cut it down to a hundred and thirty K and we finished the week with the Surrey half marathon and Here's where Stuart's advice Had the first major impact on my running Because he told me to forget my watch Put it away Don't look at it and run the half marathon as fast as you possibly can without looking at your watch Now he wasn't being gung-ho. He didn't say just go out like a crazy person do a measured effort You know think about your pace think about how fast you're running and how far you've got to go But given that run as fast as you can and do not look at your watch So that's what I did Now given that I was originally going to run the Surrey half marathon at marathon pace and Keep my heart rate as low as possible just to check that I was definitely on track Doing it as fast as I could Was a big change and Looking at my Strava. I'm not entirely sure. I was confident enough to really go for it in the first 10 kilometers It's a little bit tentative Which may mean that I didn't get quite as fast as I could have got I Finished the Surrey half-math and in one hour 24 minutes and 10 seconds Just 40 seconds shy of my half marathon PV And I reckon I could have got it if I'd just been a bit more confident in the process But I did and I think that's what counts. I tried my best my first time ever Doing a race like that without looking at any kind of device to tell me how fast I was going and big thanks to Stu Who got me to my second fastest ever half marathon and if it wasn't for my Tentativeness, perhaps I could have got my fastest ever half marathon and that bodes really well for Paris a 124 half if you look at any of the marathon pace calculators You'll see that's well on track for a sub three hour marathon So let's wrap up with our usual look at how hard I worked last week 12 sessions Three of them were hard efforts. So we had the Wednesday Paris marathon training session on Zwift I did a fast 5k in the afternoon on Saturday and then the half marathon on Sunday Now the half marathon skews things a bit in terms of heart rate Because I spent a lot of time in zone 4 During the half marathon So you can see we've spent about an hour and 36 minutes In zones 4 and 5 that it creates for about 13% which is an awful lot of time spent in zones 4 and 5 and in terms of distance we've done about 39 kilometers of fast hard running and again that skewed quite a lot because of the half marathon Most of my running in week 10 was outdoors 87 kilometers outdoors 43 on the treadmill on Zwift But it's all looking good That's a bit too good, isn't it? It's looking Omnisciently like I'm gonna have to actually try and do a sub three hour marathon in Paris Oh my god If you'd like to watch any of the other Paris marathon training videos in the series then click that link right there That'll take you to the playlist Thank you very much for watching if you haven't subscribed Please do subscribe and really appreciate it click the like button if you found the video useful or interesting or entertaining or anything Click the dislike button if you hated it and we'll see you on the star line next time.

Well, translation is important, you know, taking into account the global nature of the international community and looking at the multiplicity of languages, it's almost insane that we have all the tons of languages in the world. I mean, we don't have what I normally call, in my terminology, bridge builders. We're going to come to a point where communication can very easily come to a standstill because we're going to end up with this biblical tower of Babel and we won't be able to communicate. So I think that translators do a very wonderful job of bridging this thing with the gaps. Looking at the function of Altai, the first thing that strikes me as being very positive about Altai is the fact that our annual meetings, our annual conferences serve as a wonderful forum for people to congregate and exchange very fruitful ideas, not only from the theoretical point of view but from the practical point of view. Most of us who are here, we are practicing translators, we encounter challenges on a day-to-day basis and of course these challenges are not common, they are not unique. Sorry, they are not universal. So every translator encounters a set of problems that are unique to his or her circumstance of practice and I think that when we congregate here, it's a very good avenue for us to exchange these ideas and kind of benefit from the experiences of one another and so that's the thing. Of course, another thing that I find very useful with Altai is the publications, especially the journal, our review, the translation review. I think that the exchange of ideas in the translation review is very, very useful from the point of view of, again, people coming from different perspectives and sharing ideas that relate to the same trigger we're practicing.


Hey everyone, I'm in Cornwall today, South West, England Just walking Along the cliffs here. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and I just wanted to Make this live with you today To share a very important message The narcissist is always thinking about you some of them Do everything they can To make it seem like they're not thinking about you.  They love bombed you from the very beginning it's so You are the only thing that really mattered to them and they want to make you think that that just suddenly changes one day And then they forget all about you And while that may be the case If you've been with them for a Long period of time and I'm talking relationships that are at least Six months one year They're not going to be able to forget about you that easily no matter what they might try to make you think Because you've got to think that these people have very obsessive personalities and they were thinking about you Every day since the moment they met you so it's not that easy for them To just move on Even though they may make it seem that way the narcissist is still thinking about you You know When they're thinking about you By their actions When they act like they've moved on And they're so much happier without you And how they've got all these good things going on in their life now That's a sign that they've been thinking about you Because a person that's really moved on and has all of these amazing things happening in their life They're not even going to care what you think about them. They're not going to go through all the effort To try and get you to see them in a certain way They're just not going to care what you think And you'll probably never hear from them again, but narcissists They always have to find some way back into your life They always have to find some way To get you to know that they're still there and they can be very subtle when they are doing this They can make it seem like You're the one that's not leaving them alone, but if you look back Look at the reasons Why they're still around you look at the reasons why you even know Anything that's happening in their life It always comes back to the fact That they've done something To try and get you to to know something about them again They've done something to put themselves Back in your life again. See when someone is doing that It's because they've been thinking about you Because if they really forgot about you They would have just moved on You would probably never hear anything about them again Whether it's from then directly or on social media or even if it's through someone else that you both know They wouldn't let any information get back to you. So even though they may try to make it seem like They've moved on That's not always the case They might try to make it seem like they've just forgotten about you but when you've Been with a narcissist for six months One year or longer It's not that easy for them to just forget, but they don't remember you as a person Remember narcissists don't even see us as real people. They just see us as objects That exist to serve their needs So they miss How you made them feel What you did for them, but they don't remember you as a person because they never knew Who you even were They never sat down and asked you questions. We'll try to get to know you In their minds. They already knew Everything they need to know they needed to know which is really just projections about how they felt about themselves When they first met you they Projected An exaggerated sense of themselves on to you And then through to the devaluation phase They projected everything they hated about themselves on to you. So, yes While they may not be thinking about you as a person They are thinking about how you made them feel the sun setting down there. I'm just out in Cornwall Southwest England Just had a walk down by the cliffs for me, there's nothing more healing And just go for a walk out in nature And I recommend it to everyone Everyone who's going through a difficult time with their narcissist Whenever you feel any stress or anxiety Just go for a walk just be around the birds the squirrels Just out in nature Nature is very High vibrational and as we know narcissist have a very Low vibration if you just look at the emotional vibrational frequency chart You will see that narcissists are right at the bottom The lowest frequency of shame Because they are shame-based individuals so naturally whenever you're around them you will feel bad You will feel like you can't do anything You will feel like giving up, but you have to remember That's not really you that's just who they want you to think you are when really it's them They're trying to pull you down to their frequency, but we can't let them do that We have to remember who we are. We have to remember what we're about While we even got involved with these people we wanted to share our love our Joy Because that's what we're about and they just wanted to take from us so yeah Remember who you are Remember what you're about Remember what you want peace love and joy. That's what I want and I know if you'll watch my videos You want that too? And that's why I do the best that I can to try and share that with you. I do have another channel of spiritual secrets where I talk about spirituality healing and self-development so if you're interested in Developing yourself Raising your vibe after leaving the knock Then it's definitely a channel worth checking out. Just go into the community page on the Knox Fiver channel You will see a Link to spiritual secrets Got a robin here.

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Hear that sound? Pretty mysterious and scariest. When I heard it for the first time, I couldn't believe my ears. When I saw for the first time what was making that noise and causing all that commotion, I couldn't believe my eyes. What caused it gave Stumpy and Grey Wolf and Henry and I one of the oddest adventures that we ever had. It involved a lot of bravery, for our enemy for a while was the largest animal that walks the face of the earth. Listen now while I tell you how the African jungle came to the American Wild West.  Bill's around in a where's. No, Stumpy. Where's he at? Gone for a day, all day. Newspaper men come up from city for a story about forest ranger. They'll take him fishing, give him stories same time. Well, that newspaper has got sins. They couldn't find a better man than Bill. Now, what you want Bill for?  I read it all down, like Bill told me to. This here one's from Zephyr. We got one from Crazy Crick, one from Thirty Mile, and now this one's from Zephyr. They're all towns over by the edge of Tall Timber or Rocky Mountain Start. Yep, all over there. Very peculiar. Why? Well, I'll read you this one that I just got. Elephant's are bugs. Farmer Zephyr reports he's stained the corn completely destroyed during the night. Is that all? Is that all? Ain't that enough? I mean, does report not say more? Nope. You want to hear the other two? They're just the same, only different. And a debris is house-wide. Crazy Crick says another one. I answered the phone and wrote it down. Listen to this. Henry Jorgison, farmer, transcrossing. He reports his barn was pushed over. He got back from town and found it in splinters. Anything store? Yeah, a push of winter apples. Well, thanks for a pleasant day, Bill. Good fishing, but no story. That's routine stuff, huh? Yeah, nothing newsworthy. Well, I guess I'll head down to the depot. Well, wait a minute, these reports on my desk here. But there's something mighty funny going on. Another note from Gray Wolf and Henry. That's my Indian assistant, my ward. I'm taking off. I'll be back. Brown. Yes, sir? Stick around. You may have got that feature story yet. All right. About those mysterious reports? Yeah. Take a look at them. Then step over here. Man, take a look at this map on the wall. All right. Now watch. I'm going to mark with a red pencil the places where these reports have been coming in. There's Zephyr. Right here is Crazy Creek. Here's 30 Mile. And there are two reports from there. Mm-hmm. Trent's Crossing. Ajax. Carson. Four from there. Can you read maps? I was in the Army. All right, then. Well, according to these reports, all of these robberies, these vine and orchard reckons, took place in one comparatively small area. Right. Map mean anything else? Yeah. Those contour lines and numbers mean that that's high country. And that dark, brownish-green shading means it's heavily forested around there. Correct. Now take a look at this. See this high valley here, leading right back into the Rockies themselves. Yeah. A high valley and deep forest leading down out of the Rockies to these little towns. A valley and a part of the Rockies that's uninhabited. Except by whoever did all this damage. He can come down that valley. That's why no one has spotted him. Are you in there, Bill? Oh, yeah, come on in. Okay. Hey, Bill. Oh, excuse me. I didn't know anybody was here. Henry, this is Bud Brown from the newspaper syndicate. And the bud, this is Henry and the gray hole. Glad to know you. Hi, how are you? Say, we've got something to tell you. How much better we show you something?  You'll say it isn't true, but it is true. This is the most astonishing, the most surprising. What's the most unusual thing that ever happened? Just wait till we tell you. You won't believe it when we tell you. Hey, hey, slow down. How about starting right at the beginning and telling us the whole story, huh? Sure, Bill. Sure. Well, after those reports you got there, came in this morning.  You know, kind of explore. Sure is spooky in this forest. Even though the birds seem friendly. Well, walk Indian style, no noise. Okay. Do you think we'll find anything out? Back here in the back woods? Well, nobody come here. Nobody know what back in here. Yeah. Well, here are trailing woods. Go slow now. We look for tracks. What kind of tracks, Gray Wolf? Well, any kind. Sure. The ground's kind of damp here. I'll be able to see. Hey, hey. You spy tracks now. I think so. We follow tracks. A long time. Half hour maybe. Well, I didn't see it. Well, I see. But what kind of tracks are they? You taught me a lot of woodcraft. I never saw any like that. Sure. You hear something. Yeah. I hear something all right. It sounds as though whatever was coming this way. Henry, get behind log and bushes. Then we can see, but nobody see us. Okay. I'll get ready here. Ready for what? I brought it my camera. You know, it's a kind of takes a picture that, you know, you can look at it just a minute after you snap it. You know, you open the back. Very good. You bring camera. We wait. I think I got a perfect snapshot. We go back to Bill now. Come on. Quiet now. That's just what we did. That's just what we saw. What about the picture? It's still in camera. Yeah. We didn't want to waste time hanging around there. Besides, we didn't want to have to, well, open up the camera now. I can't stand the suspense. Okay. Wait until now to develop it. And there's the picture.  That's no joke. What a story. What a story. A photograph of the pine forest of our own Rocky Mountains. And in the foreground, an African elephant. Bite, man. That's all the news there is. As soon as anything breaks, I promise you'll let you know about it immediately. All right. Clear out now, please, so we can work. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, but there's 20 reporters there from all over the United States. Yeah. As soon as I phoned in my first story and hit the amalgamated press wires, those birds started flocking around here. And I've got the inside track. Thanks to you, Bill. Well, you were in at the start. Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize you were on the ticker there. Just about through. More news? Yeah. Mark the wall map, Henry. That was Chuck Hansen. Who's he? Oh, he's that wealthy retired radio executive. He bought that farm way back at Stony Lonesome. And his wife saw the elephant this morning. First folks have really gotten a good long look at it. The Hansons were driving along in their car when the elephant suddenly rushed out of the forest, lunged at their car, and overturned it. Were the Hansons hurt? No. Shaken up. The elephant uprooted a few trees and then ran back into the deep woods. Maybe it's getting hungrier. Dangerous. I arrange with every radio station, every newspaper west of the Mississippi to try to find out about an escaped elephant. And not a zoo or an animal dealer or a circus or an importer is lost an elephant. Yeah. I checked too. Even Canada and Mexico report no elephants missing. Ha. All elephants present and accounted for, sir. But where did this one come from? We can't even find him. He hides in the thick forest in the day mostly and just comes out at night to make those rains. I'm worried. Unless we can stop him somehow, somebody will have to get hurt. See, regular hoop-hop out there. Hey, here's one of them there. Spectacle delivery letters for you, Mr. Brown. Thanks, Stumpy. That's funny. What? This is nothing but an old newspaper clipping. Yeah. But what a clipping. My head off as Senate. Let's see. The date line is 19. Hmm. This newspaper clipping is nearly 20 years old. What's the story? Listen to this. Mahmood the mighty, full-grown African tusker elephant, who escaped from his keepers while being loaded onto the train at Moose Jaws, Saskatchewan, has eluded all attempts at his recapture. Circus owners have returned to the United States. It is supposed that giant elephant, standing 11 feet high, has become lost in the trackless forests. Ranchers and hunters are warned to be on the lookout, as the beast is known to be extremely dangerous. Mahmood the mighty. Bill, can an African elephant manage to survive and live in the Rocky Mountains? Well, this one has. Up to one side, my good man, let me through. I'm no star in a scrivening newspaper gossip monger. I'm a respectable, responsible, reputable businessman. And I have matters of primary importance to discuss with that excellent guardian of ideas and values of tourist ranger. So one side, one side, and permit me to have immediate access to his inner office. No, suree. Bill gave me orders. Ah, might as well let the gentleman come in, Stumpy, and thanks for doing a good job. Ah, it's worth nothing.  Thanks, Grand Pop. I take it I have the pleasure of addressing the forest ranger. I'm the forest ranger in charge of this section, yes? Well, permit me to introduce myself. I'm Baxter B. Bigsby, owner and manager of Bigsby Brothers Bigger and Better Circus. In my card, sir. Thank you. I am here today, sir, to serve the interests of humanity. It is my avowed purpose, sir, with your august permission, of course, to capture Mahmood the mighty. That's more than my men have been able to do. Exactly. That's why the moment I read the news I canceled dozens of important appointments and flew up here in my own private airplane. I have come to save the day.  I see. I suppose you tell me exactly what you have in mind. Certainly, Mr. Jefferson. I know elephants, sir. It is not for nothing that from coast to coast I am known as the Elephant King. I know them all, and the tougher they are, the bigger I like them. I am fearless. I have nerves of steel. Glad to hear it. I'll ask you again, Mr. Bigsby. Do you have some sort of plan? Indubitably and undeniably. My entire circus crew is even now en route here by train and auto. With these men, plus some of your local artisans, I propose to build a V-shaped stockade. Then we shall drive this ponderous pack-a-derm into close quarters, and I, with my men, will rope and tie the mighty marauding monster. Do you really think you can do all that? I never fail. In fact, I am often referred to as Never Fail Bigsby. Besides, I'm fearless. It would cost a lot of money. I have ample funds. Ample. My wallet, sir. I open it. Yes. You hesitate. I'm wondering why you're going to all this expense and trouble and danger. Simply, my dear fellow, it's simply because of my great love for the human race. Once this terrible tyrannosaurus is tied and tethered, your troubled countryside can become peaceful once more. True enough. And then? And then, naturally, I will exhibit the animal in my circus, naturally. Oh, I see. The light. Well, Mr. Bigsby. I will pay all expenses and, in addition, give you $10,000 in cash. No. The United States Forest Ranger Service does not want that kind of money. Of course. Of course, to be sure. No offence. My apologies. However, the elephant is still at large. Farmers, ranchers, rangers, loyal citizens have hunted him in vain. Now, if Baxter B. Bigsby could capture him... But can you? Of course. Not for nothing I am known as. Bring him back alive, Bigsby. Well, how about it, Mr. Jefferson? Shall I capture this elephant for you? Big Chief Bigsby's stockade almost all built now. I must say, he has just about every man in the country working on it. You think he can't, elephant? Well, if your guess is just as good as mine, I don't like Bigsby's motives, but he is an animal man. If it does work, then the elephant can't do any more damage. Ah, two more barns get smashed last night. I've been reading about elephants. Don't like noise and confusion.  Same as people. Yeah. So I'm afraid all this hullabaloo, plus our men and Bigsby's men tramping up and down these forest trails, I'm afraid that'll make the elephant become frightened or angry and go in a real rampage. Bigsby, catch him, maybe. Well, I want to give the man a fair chance. Looks like they're practically finished. Yeah. My land, those log walls and make the sides of that V-shaped stockade must be at least seven or eight hundred yards long. Yeah. Say, they are through. There they go, clearing out. I'll accept Bigsby and two or three others. What happens next? Bigsby has hundreds of men back in the forest. Pretty soon you'll hear them begin to yell and bang on tin pans. The idea is that if the elephant is around here, the noise will drive him ahead of those men. He'll head in this direction and work his way right along to the narrow part of that V down there. See how they've left those big trees standing? Yeah. Well, when he gets that far, it'll be close quarters. And that's when Bigsby and his crew expect to rope and tie him. Sounds dangerous. It is dangerous. I'm glad we're 40 feet up in this nice, great, big, strong tree. You roped up tight?  I'm not a bird. Can't hang on with feet when in a high tree like this. You think they'll drive that elephant this way? My elephant in this part of woods, all right. Come this way for sure. We wait. Now, we won't have to wait long. Here comes that elephant. Now, he's coming fast. He's coming in the stop gate. Hurry up. Careful. Get out of the way. That's that. There must be plenty of truth, Bill. That elephant tore down its stockage if it had been made out of cardboard. Only stopped him for a few seconds. He wrecked it completely and took off in the back woods again. Has anybody hurt? No. Where's Bigsby? Well, when elephant come, Bigsby run. Run like Jackrabbit. Morning, Bill. Morning, Ron. Any more news? No, not a word. We haven't had anything in a week. Every reporter is left but me. My boss is after me every day for more stories. Well, you had a byline on every front page in the country for days and days. But I need more. Is that all you care about? A story? Aren't you glad that elephant's going back to the hills? Yeah, where's my story? Are you going to hunt him down? I had to find him first. Got some clue. A back of beyond territory would take years to come. Forest Ranger on big game safari. What a headline. No need to subject my men to needless hardship and danger. That elephant is angry now. After that Bigsby mess, he's learned to hate and fear men. I'm letting him cool off. As soon as we hear more about him, we'll go looking for him. Not before. I'm going down to the village. You can wait here in the office if you like. There'll be nobody here but you. Okay, so long. Operator, give me Los Angeles. Freeway 71000. Extension 8. Reverse the charges. Bud Brown, this end. No story, huh? I'll show him. He hasn't got a story and won't help me find one. I'll make a story. Why I'll... Oh, hello, Ed. Bud, listen, I have much time. I want you to do something for me. Get ahold of Major Martin. You know, the English guy used to be in the King's African Rifles. Send him up here by plane. Hey, tell him to bring his hunting outfit. He'll know what you mean. Are you sure we're on the right track? Positive. The spore is as played as dead. I can't see anything. Well, you're not a big game hunter. I am. You're the only fellow with a rifle. You think we'll catch up with that elephant? Very soon. The spore is unmistakable. Yeah, we've been tramping through these woods for three days. Do you want to turn back? No, do you? Maybe. What? Like this, sneaking out of town at night so that forest ranger wouldn't know what we were up to, working behind his back and against his wishes... Look, you used to be a professional big game hunter, didn't you? Of course. I've shot over 200 elephants, and I know exactly... Are you scared? You can't shoot this one, can't you? Well, I never shot any illegal, eh? This isn't illegal. We're doing the ranger a favor. Just so you can get a story for your paper. But think of the fame and glory you'll get. The only white hunter in the world, whoever tracked down and killed an African tusker in the Rocky Mountains. Think of the fame. Oh, yes. Oh, yes, of course. You're right. I will be famous. Famous. All right, now, come along, old boy. Slowly, though. See those leaves? That elephant isn't far ahead. In fact... In fact... There he is. I'm ahead of some of those trees there. See him? Yeah. He looks like he's mad about something. Oh, he is. We've kept him on the run. Hey, he seizes. He's turning. He's coming this way. Fire! Never fair, I will. You missed. You just scratched him. He's charging. Fire! Fire! The rifle's jammed. I can't fire. All right.  All right. Did you fire that second shot? Major Martin, not fire. Grey Wolf, how did you get here? I followed trail on Bill's orders. Bill think it's strange you and Englishman disappeared overnight. I fired second shot to frighten Elephant away, not to hit him. Well, you did frighten away. You saved our lives. Maybe true. Maybe Bill's orders saved your life. How about Major Martin? Elephant, throw him. Not tramp on him. He'd be all right. Come, help carry him to road. Where are we going? Bixby fail. Reporter fail. Englishman fail. We've got a range of Bill. He not fail. Well, I come in. Good evening, Mr. Forest Ranger. Hello. Who are you? Just call me Joey. I am here. You're in trouble, sir. Elephant trouble. I read about in papers. Since my move the mighty was shot and wounded, he's turned into a rogue elephant. Really dangerous. Papers stated you don't know what to do to keep people from getting heads. I'm afraid for the country folks, my own man aren't equipped to... I know. That's why I walked all the way here. I came to help you. Now listen, long, long years ago when I was a young man... Dangerous. That's why I've come all this way. Just to help you. Now nobody has to be hurt. Nobody. Not even my mood. Well, what do you think, sir? Joey, I believe you. I'll let you try. Maybe the only thing in the world that'll work. What do you need? Just a few loaves of bread. Bread? Very well. I only have ten men with rifles just in case. Let's go. So you think this place is about right? No way. This place is charming. Just like a vast meadow. Grass of broken flowers. And my mood always like meadows. This one's about a mile square. Ten miles back in the mountain. Well, all the better. Now you stay right here and wait in the shade of them trees. I'll be sure and wait. There wait. Wait for Joey and my mood. Well, there he goes.  What a way to catch an elephant. You know elephants, I think. Who is Manville? An old circus clown. Says he knew Mamu in the old days. Says they were friends. Now an elephant, remember? Joey seems positive. But if he does succeed in bringing the elephant out of cover, I've got ten good riflemen posted ready for the first sign of trouble. We haven't even been able to find the elephant. He called elephant to him. So he says. Elephant, remember? Old clown, do what nobody else can do. Find rogue elephant. Bill, Grey Wolf. Those pines wherever they are on the far side. They're moving. And here comes the elephant. Look at those stars shining in the sun. He's pretty big. Real big. Bill, the old clown is feeding him the bread. Why are you batting him on the trunk? The rogue elephant. Old clown, leading elephant here now. No chains. Elephant follow like puppy dog. He did it. He did it. Here we come now.  Mamu ain't afraid any longer either. We're old friends, you see. We trust one another. Now Mamu, just stand right here now. These are your friends. In a minute, we'll lead you down the valley to the big truck that's waiting. You won't have to wander alone anymore. That means Mamu's happy.  What? Yes. How do you do, Mr. Elephant, sir? Greed, selfishness and pride couldn't capture the elephant. Love did. And in case you're interested, the once terrible Mamu is now on his way to the National Zoo in Washington. His keeper? Joey, of course. The two old friends can spend the rest of their lives there and they'll be happy together because they are friends. Well, see you next week for more adventure with... Ranger!


Technology has always been a controversy within humanity. Throughout history people have championed and opposed each major milestone in technical advancement. Now as the delta increases, so too will the impact of our emerging technologies. While many of these effects will be positive, there will also be negative consequences and repercussions left unexamined. What you're about to hear is a pair of talks on the unintended consequences of technology. And how to guard against them, followed by a diverse panel exploring the controversial potential of genetic engineering and artificial intelligence. The first of these will be given by David Temkin, a product development leader and entrepreneur with a history of developing and commercializing beautifully designed products used by millions of people. He is currently the Chief Product Officer at Brave Software, and the focus of David's talk will be on data privacy and a healthy news economy. David is by nature a skeptic, but recent public outcry over breaches, along with technological advances such as blockchain, give him a sliver of hope that we could live in a world where you're not being data-mined 24-7. And that you are able to participate in a news ecosystem in which people are able to produce legitimate journalism for fair pay. Well, let's hear it from him. Please welcome to the stage David Temkin. Thank you. All right. Okay. Hey there. Let's see if this works. I'm not seeing it. Got it. I'm here to talk about how we consume news on the Internet, how we got to the very toxic place that we're in, and what is broken in the content economy, not just for the people reading the news, but also the starvation of revenue for the people who are creating news. And so I'd like to paint a picture. I'm going to start with what did things look like 20 years ago when the Internet kind of emerged on the scene? I do see some gray hair here, not a lot. Some of you probably remember that here and there. There was a time not that long ago we had, you know, three TV networks, a handful of stuff on cable, a handful of newspapers. That's how everyone got their information. And when the Internet finally did emerge in the mid-90s to the late-90s, what we had was, well, look, everyone's very excited. It was a medium design for publishing. Pretty much anybody with sufficient effort could put up their own publication and nearly anybody anywhere could consume that content. This was mind-blowing. If you lived through that, that was a completely mind-blowing idea. And it was very simple and it worked very well. And you know, you could think of that as like just a leveler. Everybody can participate in the conversation. Everybody can get their word out. Everybody can say something. All right. Now, as this kind of, that kind of, hey, it's mind-blowing. It's really amazing. This is going to be a world-changer. Now, look, from the point of view of fake news, the election of 2016, Facebook, Cambridge Analytica, these sentiments seem utterly alien. But this is what people were saying at the time. We're going to open up an entire new world of ideas and discourse. We're going to have a golden age of journalism and all kinds of new ideas and a new world is at hand. And we'll all be neighbors in a global village. And you would even hear people talking about political differences are going to kind of fade as people kind of, you know, they express themselves, everyone gets to read everyone. And this is genuinely what people were thinking. There was also the money craziness side of this. So there were all sorts of sites popping up on the internet, many of them content sites. I've got three of them up on the screen right here. This is what Yahoo looked like back in the day and Yahoo was, you know, a big deal back then. And two very early internet-native content offerings. Everyone was very excited about them, 1999 or so. Salon and slate, both of which still exist now, which in its own way is fairly amazing. But this kind of tells the story. You're looking at a screen capture of Salon from 1999. Oh, okay. Salon.com IPO, right. Okay, they probably had about 25 users, no revenue model, no plan for growth. That was the situation back then. Everything go, go, go. The future is all green, everything else. Now, let's fast-note, so that's great. The only issue with this, and I'm going to outline how this is played out, you know, 20 years later. It's kind of a fly in the ointment here. Namely, waiting. It's all going to be supported by advertising. This entire new world was going to be supported by advertising entirely.  It may be annoying. What's really, you got to get to the bottom of this. So one of the effects of this is you can't pay for content. All right? That means it's all going to be driven off advertising. And ultimately, advertising in the internet era is all driven off data. So let's kind of look at the three parties here. You look two decades later. Who's winning? You go to a web page for a given news site. The parties that you think are involved are me, the reader, the content creator or a publisher, and the advertiser. Those are the parties that are visibly involved. Well, all three of them are losing, have lost under this arrangement. Big deal. As you browse the web and you read site to site to site, your personal information is being leaked out to parties that you don't know about and are not evident on the screen. And this is a very strange phenomena. You also get a very slow experience with the ads and the downloads and it cuts into your data plan. The content creators, despite all this advertising, are also losing. They don't make any money anymore. It's virtually impossible to be a journalist and to create high quality content. That takes real effort and there's very little money in it anymore. And very strangely, the advertisers are also losing because this entire system is riddled with fraud. Advertisers are paying for advertisements that are not shown to human beings. Okay, so those three parties, they're all losing. Well, who's winning? We have these centralized platforms that are not themselves publishers, they're not themselves advertisers, they're not themselves, obviously not readers. Two companies control 87% of the digital advertising market, which could almost be summed up as 87% of the advertising market. At least that's the trend line. We also have this thing, again, invisible, ad technology behind the scenes, kind of taking your information, oh, we think you're interested in this, pushing it around, getting out to other people, so you can get more relevant ads. If you were to browse, here's a scenario. I go browse to thedailybugle.com. The Daily Bugle is going to show a few advertisements that you might think it's kind of like you're reading Vanity Fair and some advertiser paid Vanity Fair to run an advertisement. It's actually nothing like that. The Daily Bugle, you're running in a web browser, that browser knows I was at this set of sites. I've made this set of search terms. It knows maybe you're looking for a car, maybe you're a male age 25 to 49, maybe you're into LGBT issues. All of these things can be inferred from your browsing behavior. Great. You go to that site. That site says, I want some ads. It talks to ad exchanges. It passes your information out there. It says, okay, I've got a reader that looks like this. Can we serve that person these bits of information? The ad exchanges talk to other entities, each of these potentially different corporate entities. Your information, your browsing history and things like that are being derived, being sent out to all of these different sites. Look at how many entities are involved in that transaction. In terms of what it takes for a single advertisement to land on the Daily Bugle, they're getting the crumbs at the end of it. They're not getting the lion's share of this revenue. Daily Bugle is being starved. Not a good situation. Not particularly ethical. Not good for readers. Certainly not good for quality content. You can't make money in this market. It's totally broken. So I work for a company called Brave Software. We have a web browser. First and foremost, it's oriented around privacy. So one thing we did was, all right, let's just make it impossible for these third parties to track you. The parties other than the site that you're reading. The Daily Bugle, yeah, it knows. You know you're looking at it. Great. All those invisible parties, let's make that impossible. Okay, wonderful. That means you're not getting any advertising and zero revenue flows to the content creators. So that's not adequate. We want something that actually kind of rebases this system on a more equitable basis. We created a system using cryptocurrency, Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency. And it has a couple of very interesting attributes here. First of all, why would you do cryptocurrency in the first place? Not simply so, hey, I can say I'm doing cryptocurrency. Payment on the web is a weird thing. Right now, you've got to typically register with a credit card. You've got to provide all your information. And the charges that you make cannot be tiny. They're not going to be like five cents here and five cents there. So cryptocurrency changes that. You can have anonymous transactions and you can have very small and very frequent transactions as well. Our system starts with, okay, an advertiser is fundamentally paying to get access to a user's attention. Well, then let's pay the user for that. When you use Brave and you opt in to this advertising system, among other things, you will get payments up to 70% of the revenue that's being put into the ads flow to you. Okay, that's good. That helps you. That still doesn't help the content creator. The third leg of this stool is that if this system is working in its default manner, what happens is as you view ads, you are accumulating cryptocurrency and as you browse from site to site, you are remitting tiny bits of cryptocurrency in proportion to the time that you spend visiting those sites. It's almost a passive automatic activity. Your personal information never leaves your machine. I'll talk a little more about that. Now, let me show you what, if I browse to TMZ in a normal browser, I'm using Google Chrome. I go to TMZ.com. On the left, you will see all of the servers and all of the entities that receive your personal information as you do that. There are over 100 of them there. When you do the same thing in Brave because we're blocking all of this traffic, it only touches the actual entity's domains that are owned and controlled by TMZ. Very different scenario. When I talk about the cryptocurrency, cryptocurrency is sort of an infinitely deep topic and difficult to get into all the micro details of it. The fundamental point here is it is a great match for the problem we're trying to solve. We want people to be able to browse the web, not worry about their personal information going somewhere, enable the users being paid, micropayments, and the sites being paid in micropayments. Anonymity is critical. Recording it on the blockchain, that's kind of about how do you eliminate advertising fraud. That's the last piece of this. I'll talk about one important thing here in terms of we are very much about respecting the user's autonomy and data and privacy. How can you possibly target advertising at a given user if their information never leaves the browser? The answer is, unlike today's advertising systems where, as you saw in the earlier slides, the information goes out and it just gets pushed to the cloud and you've got 74 different cloud providers with your personal information. What happens here is the browser itself constructs a local profile of what you're interested in and what it thinks you're all about. That profile never leaves your browser. Your browser then goes up and says, give me all of the possible advertisements. Might be lists of thousands of them. And then it says, based on what I know about you, I am going to select which ad to show you. So in that way, you are getting very relevant advertising, but your own information is not being filtered out to third parties that you have no relationship with. So we keep the personal information entirely on the device. With regard to the content creators, we've designed the system so that if the user doesn't fiddle with all the settings, the content creators will be paid automatically as the user browses from site to site. Little bits of cryptocurrency will flow to those content creators. We've also just added kind of a tipping system if you want to actually say, hey, I want to tip you with some payment right here and now. There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the problem that we aim to solve here with the system. Just to give you kind of a visual on what does this thing look like. As I said, it's a web browser, and this is a picture of that browser running on the desktop. We've got it on the major mobile platforms as well as the major desktop platforms. I'm looking at a YouTube channel. I click on the upper right to hit the so-called Brave Rewards feature. It asks me, do you want to participate in this? Okay, sure. Sounds good. At that point, we get you started with a little bit of free cryptocurrency. All good. And then some fancy slide effect there. And you've got some amount of cryptocurrency that you can then distribute to your favorite content creators. And it's kind of an adjunct to your browsing. It's not really in your face. It lives in the web browser. It doesn't interfere with the sites that you're looking at. In the big picture here, this is a very complicated problem. What my company is doing is approaching one particular angle of it. This is about kind of the personal information privacy and the validity of the content economy question. How do you have a healthy content economy? There are other questions. Who can be monetized on a central platform? How do the central platforms control who has a voice and who doesn't? Those are very interesting topics. But from our point of view, if you look at this in the broad strokes, again, looking back at, we'll start with the 90s, it was very centralized. We had a small number of entities who controlled the news and controlled what could be put out there. The 2000s, you saw this kind of loosen up with blogging and self-publishing and the like. But with the advent of big data, machine learning, and these giant kind of captive platforms, whether it's YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. That really changed things. We entered a period of re-centralization. It's our hope at Brave that the blockchain and particularly, look, these things are generating a lot of publicity and a lot of outrage right now. And rightfully so. That the blockchain combined with increased public awareness can shift things so that as we move into a new decade, we're going to kind of rebalance it into something that's more equitable and more level and less exploitative. And that is about the size of it. Thank you.


Hey, what's going on guys right? It's Mark and I thought today I would go over some of the open trades I've got And kind of just go over how long I'm expecting to hold them one. I'm not particularly worried right now in terms of you know waiting for them to go green So there's a couple that I really like at the moment Coca-Cola Tesla Berkshire for a delta and Domino's so those are the five and I'm gonna go over and kind of how long I'd expect to hold them and how you can kind of apply it to any place that you're doing so First I'm gonna start with Tesla So if you're not aware, you know test has been on the news quite a lot There was issues with customs into China, which was resolved pretty quickly. So it's been pulling back quite a lot Which is only I'm good for us. I mean, I know if you watch my videos, but we was debating on selling just before the Before the announcement with Elon Musk We decided to hold on in hindsight would have been better to just kind of get out and then potentially buy back in here But you know is what is Over the past couple of days, it's been Consolidating to you can see it's been kind of holding here now Which is fine, right, which is not uncommon. You see it's done it here previously More comfortable sport is a kind of at this two night for But it's been down at these 270 levels before as well and all the way down to 250 So but yeah in terms of working out how long to actually hold it for so If you have a look here and when it's reached these levels previously So you can see where we hit if you look That here's the time if you look at my cursor, right? You can see the date So you can see when it's if we go from the earliest time. So once it's hit this on the 17th of May it hasn't recovered until the 15th of June if that makes sense because so you can see how long it's taken to cover between 274 to 350 that makes sense So if you look I can't point on my screen, but this little the date will at the bottom here where this mouse is So yeah, so you can see kind of around around the sort of kind of towards the back in a May and then it picks up towards the May-June year towards the back end of June So I'm quite happy to kind of wait this out over the next month or so Because that's kind of typically how long it takes to cover this ground from here up to this 350 Again, you can see here. Where was it? So kind of towards the middle of October about the 15th 16 17th of October, and then it covers that ground up until Kind of towards the beginning of that's about two weeks or access a little bit quicker But you can see that's that's a bit more aggressive. So and that's Tesla So I'm happy to hold on to this you can see it's consolidating.  I'm sure we'll see it kind of level out and pull back up Let's go over some more recent ones That's Tesla again with Delta Airlines, excuse me. Oh, just a fizzy drink. That's killing me Again with Delta Because this SMA is kind of acting as a resistance So just something to be aware of but it's not pulled back massively from the levels that it's been out before And but you can see here, right? It was at these levels around the 5th of January February March April May June July there again We're getting once in order 7th of July and then it's taken About a month see about the 9th of August To cover that ground you see so here where it's about the 3rd of June I'm excuse me July and then it's taken about a month to cover that there And that's pretty consistent. So where are we here? So it's a 14th of November And it recovers by the 11th of December. It's about a month, right? So we've only got into this recently and I'll expect this to take about a month to cover this ground From 48 to 54, right? So, I mean, I hope you guys are seeing this pattern here It's just about being patient as long as everything kind of looks in order Nothing too outrageous. You can see it's not kind of outrageous. He's pulling down or anything like that I'm RSI still looks good Mac these still looks good What other ones did we mention? So I'll go into my luck and swing trades that I've bought in too recently I'm shout out to my my new copiers as well. I've got Dan Italian and Gita. I hope I'm saying all right Correct me if I'm wrong After the check make sure that is you guys. I'm so thanks for copying. I appreciate that but yeah, so if you look at Coke Okay, it's a good one We've actually most of break above the EMA now and it's holding above the EMA and just be aware of the SMA But again to this ground here So we around kind of the 18th of October covered this ground by the 15th of November So again about a month So I'd be happy to see it's kind of covered from 45 to 50 Across a month and also with that time it gives us a chance to kind of continue to buy in and average up So yeah something to to keep in mind and then so Coca Cola and Domino's pizza are like the Perfect patterns. They're the ones I'm just loving in a minute Let's have a look and that's Domino's as well. So Domino's If we go from the end point when it covered it. So that's the 15th of January and then it peaked out at the 8th of February so yeah, so you can see it's usually about a month I mean it looks like from these particular set of Trades, but yeah, if you just kind of go on past patterns see how long it's taken to cover that ground and basically use that as a Way of making yourself feel a bit more relaxed if you're worried About the trade right if you're like, oh my god, I'm in the red. What's what's happening. I'm stressing You got loads of time We got lots of time to pull it and as long as the pattern looks good Can you see how it's pulled back drastically pulled back pulled back and then it's starting to consolidate and level out Right and then the RSI is kind of leveling out and the MACD is Not a great example here I've kind of it looks potentially like it's curling. I'm curving down, but you know two out of three looks good to me But yeah, I hope that makes sense. So you can see it the EMA is kind of going a bit more neutral as well So just something to in fact, what if I get rid of? No, that's not gonna help. But yeah So I think that's it for now. I hope that makes sense to you guys. I hope for those of you that are copying me I know it's been a little bit more readily recently Where are we for the year? So? Down just a little over I think 1% for March but Simon ticks over for today. I'm because today We were down just under half percent But we got ages we got a long time to cover. Oh and Berkshire Hathaway as well. Sorry. Let me just do that one before I forget Berkshire Hathaway again, where are we 26th of October? By the so this is about two weeks It covers that ground before I look here 27th of July and then it covers that ground by September. So Yeah, so say we got ages. So it's fine and Those are the timeframes that I work with When I'm swimming trade-ins. So yeah If you enjoyed the video make sure you you know give a thumbs up like the video And so on Yeah, give it a thumbs up subscribe share all that stuff any comments any suggestions anything that you do or don't like that I do more than welcome to hear it in the comments. I always get back to people in the comments as well So yeah, I think I'll leave that there and I will catch you guys again. It's gonna need some more. Bye
