started now with our next speaker. A wellness conference would not be complete without a yogini, so that's the name I'm giving her, who is also an artist, designer, and writer.  She's practiced various forms of yoga, meditation, mantra, ancient breath techniques, and energy work for the last 20 years. She teaches the art of connecting with nature and uses earth frequencies to energize, restore, and heal the body, aligning with cosmic energies, which is exactly what all we all need to hear about right now. So she came all the way from California to be with us today. Please welcome Landa Curtis. Howdy. I'm Landa, and it's nice to meet all of you. Thanks for being here. As Michelle and Greg both said, it wouldn't be anything without you, so thanks so much for coming, and it's just such an honor to share this sacred space with all of you. So I guess I'd like to know by a show of hands, who here has done yoga at least once?  Who hasn't ever done yoga? Wow, okay, a few. That's awesome. Is there anyone that has zero interest and just completely thinks it's for the pretzel people? Anyone? Okay, well my goal today is just to kind of give you guys some tools for your blocks. So we've been talking about raising your vibration and finding tools in order to do that. So, it's basically something that through my experience and really just from my life challenges has guided me to this path. And it's kind of like, you know, in yoga we study going into the center and going internal, which is what Greg spoke about a lot is just we're all introverts, many of us here introverted, because we were always the ones that asked the questions. And, you know, I was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is very Mormon, and so it's very religious. And are you guys from Salt Lake City? Oh, nice, welcome. I know what it's like to just be raised in a very kind of closed minded, black and white framework. So my path was yoga. So just a little background on me with all of that is that I was born and raised in Utah and I've always been creative. So I'm an artist and that's how I express myself. I moved to California actually to become a fashion designer. So it's something that, you know, I've always been tapped into that creative world. And yoga just always seem to be that center piece, that tranquility that I always needed because I'm such a passionate person. So that can tend to be kind of emotional and chaotic sometimes, which is very much like the energies that we're being flooded with today. So I'm really being called to share this tool with all of you because the universe and the world really because we all really need that grounding. And you know, we keep hearing grounding and that is really what brought me, it's really what I merged with my personal yoga practice was nature, the Gaia, you know, just the green grass under my feet. I was guided to actually take my shoes off as I'm speaking because we really just are being called to ground, but also to connect with the central sun. So it's with the elements that we are harmonizing with.  Like we've been talking about implants. Most of you guys are, we're all aware of the interferences that we have every day in life. So, you know, yoga has just really brought me there. An example.  But so in the fashion industry, I've lived out here for 12 years now or out in Los Angeles. And so of course, it's very urban jungle. You really have to take that time to go out to nature. There are a lot of really beautiful nature spots. So I have my little sanctuary is one of the first things I do when I move to a new city is I look for the park, the place that has grass and the trees. And so that has been something that I find really important in my life. What it does is it also harmonizes you with the source without it's like probably the least amount of effort for all of you who are just balancing life, maybe some children, stuff like that. I would say if you can fit in five minutes, even in your backyard, if you have grass in your backyard, it's so worth it. So my journey with healing in the fashion industry was that I started developing carpal tunnel because I was you know gifted as an amadextrous person. We were just talking about this earlier being left handed or right handed. I was gifted with using both my hands. So I started getting carpal tunnel in both of my hands because I was an artist working with both my hands and just rigorously working. There was a lot of stress, a lot of negative energy around me. And I just wasn't taking the time out to take care of myself.  It was real and it's 11-11 or just 11-12 now but. Anyways, so I basically had to find tools to heal myself. And I knew there was that knowing I'm like Michelle, I'm an empath and I'm a knower. So I just, our body holds all this information. Like our emotions tell us where to go. I'm an intuitive foodie. Like my body will tell me what to eat. So I just heard my body telling me, you can heal yourself. And I was in the workers' comp system. So I also know that I went down that path to get a real compassion for what people are going through that are stuck in the system. It's a very, you know, Greg was mentioning about the cancer industry and all of that. Well, there's a workers' comp system that's just as bad. It's just basically funneling all the people that get injured at work that really, it's not made for them to get better. They're basically funneled through the system and they're given like the worst treatments that just promote depression. They're very quick to prescribe pain medicine. They were trying to prescribe me all this pain medicine and I'm like, no, I want to do this naturally. So they wanted me to get surgery and all of this stuff. And again, I kept being pulled to yoga. And I started out only being able to meditate for five, five minutes was like my max. I was like so anxious and depressed and in pain that I just really couldn't silence my mind. But I knew that I needed to. So every day I would set a little alarm on my phone for five minutes and I finally got to the five minute mark and I was so happy because you know, here I was just in so much pain. And then I started slowly being guided to do different things like I fainting my home. I don't know how many of you are familiar with dousing anyone? Yes. So then I was guided to a beautiful Karen Kingston wrote a book called creating sacred space with Feng Shui. So I doused my home, the vibration immediately lifted with that I had a lot of really random health problems that were caused just for my home like stress lines, Wi Fi, all of that stuff. So I moved that around. And then I was guided to Kundalini yoga, which I've had two questions already in the last couple days about Kundalini. And it's another I think very misunderstood term in the yoga, yogic spiritual world. But it's basically the energy that sits dormant in the bottom of your spine that when you start to meditate and move it, which can be stimulated by all kinds of things. Everyone has Kundalini awakenings in different ways. So I'm not going to say there's only one way. But for me, it was literally just tuning in to my chakras. We're talking about chakras a lot as well. These are just wheels of energy in your body that hold information that hold light information. And a lot of times we get stuck and blocked in these centers. So the Kundalini energy rises up your spine and basically connects with the light. And when you're conscious and you're aware of it, you can align your chakras clear them and unify them. So you know, there's just all kinds of beautiful techniques. I can I can talk for centuries about all the the terms and yoga and the history and everything. But I just want to really give you guys some little tools you can put in your tool belt and and utilize. But like I was saying, Kundalini yoga, it's basically the practice. It's the form of yoga where you're really focusing on the breath. So you're bringing the prana into your body, which is just everything we're breathing right now. We all have access to it. Let's see, you were inhaling and exhaling. It's very simple. We all do it unconsciously. But when you actually consciously fill your lungs with prana, with the inhale, your body is formed to breathe on its own. So yoga is really just the art form of unifying your body, mind and spirit with the with this beautiful force, which is the literally the universe breathes us. How beautiful is that thought? So a lot of the postures I was just telling Michelle last night, that many of the postures that all that are kind of just across the board and all different forms of yoga are based on animals, warriors in legendary warriors in Vedic times and everything. And basically what that does is when you are practicing them when you're using your body to practice these different forms like trees, plants, animals, it unifies you with all forms of existence. So again, yoga is something I really want to bring down to earth for you because it's something that we can all do in whatever place you're at in your life. So that's really what I specialize in is tuning in to my own body and sharing it with others because you know, healing isn't just for you. When you go through a healing journey, I really believe that once you heal yourself, you can then share it with others that they can find their healing in highest form as well. So let me show you guys. So of course many of you are aware that we have seven energetic chakras in our body. We have our root, our sacral, our solar plexus, the heart and you know, they're associated with different colors and elements. Third eye and crown chakra. Most most human beings on the planet right now are really living based out of their their three lower chakras.  So your solar plexus is yellow in the very center of your body. It's really what connects you to the higher realms, which is why it's so vital and important. But if you don't have your two below that balanced, then it's really hard to get that connection and that alignment. So really what yoga and going into nature is doing is it's really synchronizing. I love that word, synchronicity. I'm sure many of you hear it in the spiritual community. So what came to me as I was really putting together my thoughts to share with all of you was that when you're going into nature and you're practicing yoga, even if it's just on your own, in fact, I totally encourage you to do it on your own and find your own practice because it's really about going within and then synchronizing with these energies, which is the higher source, which is, you know, whatever you want to call it God universe, cosmic consciousness, you know, there's so many, so many versions of God, but it's all the same. So with yoga, these wheels, even, you know, the mandalas that the Buddhist monks are always, you know, meditating upon really are all about going to the center. So we're really meditating into the center of your core. And so we've got the root, the sacral and the solar plexus. And that's your power center is the solar plexus, which is yellow. And then you've got your sacral, which is orange. This is our cosmic womb men have them to not just us women, even though it's very such a gift. And then the root chakra is what routes you to the earth. So many people are just walking around with that kind of chaotic balance. So yes. So I'd like to kind of bring up an analogy. I apologize for my quick internet pictures here. So plug it like when you plug something in, we're kind of like little batteries, really little cell phones. And when we don't plug in, which is kind of what we get, you know, we've got busy lives, a lot of us live in the city, and we don't really have the time to ground. It's the same thing with the plugs, we really need to find that grounding and find whatever method works for you. Even in yoga, there's always going to be something that resonates with your soul, your heart more than something else. So again, I just one of the things about grounding. In fact, you know what, let's just do a technique right now. I'm going to teach you guys. Yeah, it seems like we need to get the energy moving in here. So how about everyone stand up in your chairs? Stand up on your chair. If you'd like. Maybe take your shoes off because that's gross. Hear me if I just go away from the mic. You can't take the mic with you. Oh, it's kind of convenient. So just put your feet about hips distance apart. And really, if you'd like to take your shoes off, I really encourage that that don't feel obligated. And just really ground those feet and those toes into the earth. Imagine that we're standing in grass right now. Intention is everything. So really dig those feet in. Just imagine that there is a cord of light, kind of like vines, just extending out from your toes all the way into the center of the crystalline heart of the earth. And just start to really focus on your breath.  In this moment. There's nothing crazy going on around us. So you're safe. You're in a safe space. And just really start to lengthen your inhales and exhales. Really notice your breath and become present. Maybe you want to roll your shoulders open and just let them kind of slide down the back of your spine. So you really got like a nice open heart, nice open chest. Just kind of feel that lift. Drop your tailbone. Just let yourself really start to naturally root into the ground. Just remember to breathe. Inhale, exhale. And at your next inhale, we're just gonna reach up to the sky like just opening your wings. And just kind of imagine that you're embracing the universe right now. Connecting your heart center all the way up, maybe beyond beyond our earth, all the way out into the galaxies around us. Just imagine that you're sending your love vibration out. Maybe start with this room to everybody in the room, your neighbors next to you, everyone in this conference, and then just start to extend it out into the entire hotel. And then from there beyond, just go into the entire city of Austin and extending it out into the US. And then just imagine that it's circling around the world in just this beautiful diamond, crystalline light frequency. Slowly bring it back into your heart center. So in prayer pose. This is a beautiful mudra that really when it actually your thumb when it presses into your chest bone, activate your heart. So anytime you're stressed out, you could always bring your hands to prayer prayer center or prayer pose. It's also called Angela, which is the Sanskrit term.  You're in traffic, whatever it is. Even if it's just if you have one hand free, like especially if you're driving, you can just put your hand on your heart. Maybe if you're having a conversation with somebody, and it's an argument, put your hand on your heart and just feel the energy shift. So thank you, everyone, we can be seated. And that's actually how we begin every yoga practice is just tuning in. So why don't we all rub our hands together?  So again, we're activating our heart centers. And then just bring it back into your heart center into Angela mudra. Deep inhale and exhale. Just let it all go. Another deep inhale. Hold the breath just a moment suspended, let your heart lift in your chest, and powerfully exhale. One more time deep, yogic inhale, fill the chest up all the way. So the breath, it's so important. So one of the things I really wanted to touch on that just kind of came to me, something interesting to look at while I speak. So you know, Michelle brought up the girl who could feel our vibration last night at the restaurant. And I wanted to bring her back up again, because this this violet, I was guided to wear this scarf today and it was given to me by another star seed who is a beautiful talented musician. And Cora Florell just put her name out there. But the violet flame is a tool just like the Haponopono prayer that can really clear your energy field. So this is another amazing tool that we all have access to. Just like yoga, just like, I mean, we have all these tools, and that's really what we want to give you today is just maybe even just a reminder, because I think a lot of you already know about these tools. But it really is the simple things that we have access to that are going to carry us through these crazy waves and the ascension stuff going on. You know, a lot of times, I think some some of us who can really see and see the pain and suffer going on in the world, it can be hard to process. And that's kind of why I'm thankful that I'm able to just kind of unplug from it. So I'm glad that I brought up the plug analogy because we really can tap into this incredible power that these gifts that the ascended masters have given us. And our guides, our angels are always around us. So really take a moment to invoke the violet flame. It can be really easy. Even like Archangel Michael, you just say, help me, help me, help me three times. And I mean, they're right there ready to help. And one of the things the angels are always saying are, you've got to ask. So I'm guilty of this. I sometimes I'm such an independent powerful woman that a lot of times I forget, Oh, yeah, I can ask for help. And they'll come in an instant. So that's where the instant miracles start happening. And when you find this flow, you know, when again, the violet flame and seeing this little girl, I mean, she was really young. And I think that the kids are coming in already upgraded. We're going a lot of us are going through these DNA changes. It's making us tired. And it's because literally our bodies are changing into light. And so again, yoga and meditation, invoking the violet flame using the Haponopono prayer, 10 minutes of meditation a day, just start with that. It's really going to help just move these energies. Another analogy I'd like to bring into your consciousness is flowing like water, like a stream versus a stagnant pool. Again, that's what moving your body does for you. It's literally your bringing the light into your body, and you're honoring all of the forces around you by, you know, holding a pose, like holding tree pose, you are honoring the trees and yourself at the same time. So it's just having that reverence for and gratitude. I really that's really been coming through a lot. I have this beautiful friend, her name is Barbara Colgan, and she has a house full of Ascended Master paintings. And there, there's just such a vibration in there you can feel the presence of these masters and I feel them now. I was feel I've been feeling them very powerfully they're they're here. And they've always been here, but we're becoming more sensitive and attuned and aware of them. And once again, the more you keep your vibration high, the more you can actually start to hear them and feel them. You'll start to like I get feathers. I don't know about all of y'all, but I get feathers everywhere. I get like in white feathers. It's not just any old feather.  And a white feather just floats out of the forest. And to me, it's like just recognizing the miracles and everything every day. It's it's the little rituals every day that really add up. And that's something again, as I was putting my message together for you today, really came out strongly was how much time where are you giving your power, like really start to take a stock list of where where you're putting your energy and focus in if you're working every day. And these are stuff that we work. These are obligations are human obligations. Maybe you have children and stuff like that. But are you putting as much time into yourself as you are others or obligations, and really start to ask yourself, are these why am I doing this? You know, like, this is something that I've really been doing a lot of lately is just wait, why am I doing this? And then just start to you know, you really can eliminate some of these habits. Like I just started doing yoga teacher training this month. And I just really wanted to take the plunge in and deepen my practice. And it was such a confirmation of Oh, wow, I this is what I've been tuning into. This is ancient practices that have been since the beginning of time, they don't even know the origin of yoga. But I've been tuning into it, and actually channeling new postures, because that's exactly what the masters did. They were just sitting on a cave or on a hilltop. And they were channeling like, Oh, this is actually really energizing. And so it was written down and recorded. So what I'm getting is new, new information, new yoga poses. And to me, that's really exciting. It's like, I was trying to think of a word of what to call it. And the word Aquarian yoga came into mind or yoga for the Golden Age or something like that. But it's really exciting, we really are living in exciting times. And we all have access to it. And that's really the message that I think we're all being guided to awaken to and open to is that the answers really are within. You don't need to go to a psychic, you don't need to. I mean, I can't tell you how many people I know, it's great to be psychic, I'm psychic, we're all a little bit psychic in some way. But again, it's really that inner guru. And even the word guru, I was sharing with Greg and Michelle last night, goo is dark, and rue is light. So it's bringing the darkness to light. And that's what gurus are there for. But we all have that. In fact, when you tune in in a yoga class, I'm sure many of you have taken Kundalini, it's Waheguru, it's acknowledging the guru within and acknowledging that that the wisest teacher is within you. And everything teaches you. I mean, everything, everything. So it's about having gratitude for that. We have a guided system, that's our heart. And so really, like, take a moment, how do you feel? When you were in any kind of a situation, if you really tune in to your feelings, and actually allow yourself to feel it, instead of feeling like ashamed, like say you're angry, say you're sad, really using that as a guidance tool to show you what your body is saying, because your body, your body is really talking to you all the time. When you're, when you're sick, your body knows what how to heal it. We have all the healing capabilities built in. And the guidance system is just where your heart center is. So the more open your heart center is, the louder your guidance is going to be.  That is, that's it, if you're harmonizing with who you are. So you're aligning and you're syncing up with the cosmic forces and and yourself, your highest version of yourself. It's either our light tree or animal. You're aligning yourself, right? You're really aligning yourself with all forms of being. And, and that's really what's so beautiful about yoga. It's something I wasn't even really thinking about until I started studying yoga. Like I said, I started taking yoga teacher training. And I realized like, wow, I've been tapping into this amazing, just practice. It's, and that's all it is. It's just a practice. It's a ritual. We all have daily rituals, like, I think most of us have coffee in common, where you just, you get up and you reach for your coffee. What if you woke up in the morning and you did a sun salutation? So again, yeah, that's that's a good point. I'm going to actually pull up this sun salutation. Again, I apologize for these really low quality pictures that I grabbed from the internet. But this is a very, very simple classic practice that is used in every yoga practice.  I like how this is actually formed around a mandala, because that's exactly what you're doing is you're creating a mandala of vortex by practicing this. And I'll actually demonstrate right now, since I'm in my yoga clothes. So basically, you're going to start in prayer. So you start in prayer, and you reach up to the sky. And it's basically using your breath to move, which is very energizing. So inhaling up and then exhaling forward fold, and then inhale halfway up. Exhale your breath. Inhale, you're opening your chest and your heart. You're exhaling into down there down. Inhaling back into halfway up. And you exhale. So actually for the spring equinox, or for that, yes, for the equinox, one of our homework assignments was to do 108 of those, basically. And then there's a B version. So every 25th, you know, circle of that, we would do a B, which is you add in and then a warrior, one posture, which is pretty strenuous, especially after you do it a few, a few 50 times. But but I can tell you, it was very energizing. And it really shifts you into that, that space of, I think they call it nirvana or samadhi. And that's really where we're going. And it's a vibration. And again, I wanted to touch on the joy frequency. Again, this is another tool for your toolbox is to always just be happy. Again, my friend Barbara with the Ascended Master Paintings, she's always given me these little tidbits of advice that I'm just like, Oh, my God. And then you just instantly apply it. And you're like, why didn't I think about it? So simple. Just be happy. Just find that little bit of happiness in every situation. Because again, it's this frequency that we're tapping into the joy frequency, unconditional love, unconditional forgiveness, gratitude for everything and passionate joy. And your joy will really guide you. So again, that's why it keeps being brought up. Because it's who we are. And it's it's tapped into your heart guidance. So when you follow it, it's like, you know, I don't know if any of you have heard of Bashar, show of hands. That's basically his message over and over again in different ways. It's like, it's a full kit to get you to wait to your happiest life. I think that's what we all want. But when you were talking about the service to self versus service to humanity, there's a point where serving yourself as far as healing yourself is important. But then when you do get to your highest joy, you realize like, I can't just keep this to myself. This is too amazing. I want to share this with everybody. And so that's kind of how it is with yoga with me is that, you know, I'm an artist. There's there's so many other things that I came in remembering how to do. We're all masters here. If you're in this room, you're probably you've lived many lives and mastered many, many things. So I came in just remembering a lot of my gifts. But for some reason, yoga has always been this center point in my life. It makes me very happy, centered. It's basically who I am.  So find that find that within yourself. You know, Picasso said the secret to life or the purpose of life is to find your gift. And then the meaning of life is to give it away. So it's it's true. I really profoundly think that that's a beautiful message during this time is just to if you can visualize your gift helping humanity and lighting of the planet, then it's totally what you need to be doing because we need you. Like we need all of us. Absolutely. In fact, thank you for that question. Very good question. She said, have I noticed an increase of my gifts after doing yoga? Absolutely.  But but basically, you know, I'm an artist and I went into the fashion design world. I went on a journey to heal myself. And then I went back to being an artist working full time. I'm sitting in a desk eight hours a day.  And when I started doing that, of course, I was guided to do my yoga teacher training because I realized this is big. I really need to be able to share this with more and more people. File, but the trick is to listen to your intuition. I'm a very intuitive impact. I think a lot of us that are intuitive have had to heal from all the stuff we've picked up on over a lifespan and like the negative attachments and stuff around us. But going back to the question of the downloads that I received doing yoga, I've always wanted to actually have a healing clothing line. And I couldn't get my head around anything.  But that's, that's the human mind.  And when you just surrender, which is what yoga does for me, it gets my brain out of the way and then things just flow. So, so literally an example of that, I was in Shavasana after a very strenuous they call it booty yoga. So you're sweating and you're moving your sacral chakra. The sacral chakra right now, that's another message I downloaded is that there is a lot of past life stuff going on in that chakra. And I think it's holding a lot of us lightworkers back, including myself, you know, raise my hand for myself to take responsibility. And when I started moving that center, I had a total emotional release. I had to leave the room, I had to go home and cry. And so it's just stuff that you really have to look at. And it's stuff that's really kind of not something we typically like to look at because it's very emotional and painful, very deeply painful. But again, that I was in Shavasana at another yoga class. And I started getting visuals of stuff to put on T shirts and, you know, just all these amazing ideas. And it's that it's that divine flow. And as an artist, I can see myself doing that as well. I know I'm supposed to create an artistic community. A lot like what Greg said, he had the download to create this community in 5D and everything. I know I'm supposed to create a healing community for artists, showing them how to connect with nature and connect with that divine flow because it's fair. It's who we are. The divine creativity and that source gets cut off when you're not in alignment. So yes, absolutely yoga has opened that up for me. And it's exciting because when I followed my heart to do yoga, which didn't seem very logical, I'm like, well, wait, I need to finish my art projects, you know, but in doing the yoga, just slowing down to do that. Now I'm not only able to love my body and connect, but also do any in every project and more that comes to me and it's divine. It's absolutely from the higher realms and you couldn't. Yeah, I can create stuff. I mean, did you guys notice there's hearts on the wall? By the way, did anyone notice that? Yeah, I was going to say that when I first walked up and it just came back to me, but yes. Is there any other questions? Did that answer your question, by the way? Oh, the the sun's out. I love that you I love that that's happening to you because that's exactly how it came to me. I was simply guided to do it and I just started doing it and I actually did it my own way. I didn't even really technically look at a picture and then I finally got curious because a friend of mine said, Oh, you're doing some salutations. And I'm like, Oh, is that what that is? So I googled it, of course, and I found the pictures and I'm like, Oh, I'm kind of doing it differently. And then my yoga teacher, my mentor right now, she said there's many versions there's versions where you can salute the moon. So it's kind of like different ways you can connect with different planet bodies and everything. So it's very cosmic. I'm very excited about the downloads as well. It's really beautiful because the art of yoga, it really is an art, a creative art, and you're really tapping into that creative source. And are you creative at all? Most of us are, most of us are. And then it just goes away, even like, I was born psychic. And I was precognitive. And I turned it off because I'm like, What is this? So I asked my guides to turn it off. And it's it's coming back. But that's another message I think all of us need to hear is that we've been veiled for a reason. If we were to see everything that's going on, we would literally just not even be able to be here. So thank you for being so strong, all of you. But yeah, I really think that yoga is important. And that's why I'm that's why I'm here right now, even though it doesn't totally make sense to me. But that's just it. We can't really try to rationalize our intuition. It's something that I've struggled with my whole life is not listening to that. And when you finally do, when you finally reach that point of like, Okay, I'm going to trust that, then all it's like a door, it's a portal.   And even just the other day, I was driving, it was my birthday and I was driving over to go see Barbara. She's leaving. And she calls her house the Temple of Light. And so I'm so honored to be connected to all of you and her and everybody. And I went to go say goodbye to her. And as I was driving over there, the clouds looked incredible. There was the sun was shining through it looked like a painting, but not. It was three dimensional. It looked like it was coming out of me. And it just took my breath away. And it made me realize like, you guys, we're in 5D right now. And, you know, it was kind of like a welcoming, you know, the angels were coming out to welcome me. So it's just keep your vibrations high. And we're all there. Like if you're in this room, you're on the path. So congratulations. Some other things, because you're a shining example of raising your vibration and talking about you at work and how people, you know, sometimes people who are really negative, they like to say, well, how come she's always so happy? Right. What are some of the other things that you do to keep your vibration up? And mentally, after all the struggles that we've had as starseeds in our lives, how were you able to let that stuff go? What's the common thing? That's such a good question. So her question is, how have I been able to keep my vibration high and just keep raising that level so that I can confront any negative situation? Well, for starters, I've been in so many negative situations that I can't even count. I'm sure most of us have been. And I just think I got to a point where you really do have to surrender and just realize, I think, I think what you're saying or your question, answer your question very simply is perception. It was a perception shift. It was literally going from why is this happening to me to what is this message? That's really that was the ticket. That was the thing that really shifted. I'm already a natural optimist, as many of my friends and family know, like to a point where I'm looked upon, especially as people that don't know me so well, as why is she so happy? What's wrong with her? What is she soaking? Or you know, like all kinds of lists of questions? Because I think we've all been programmed to not trust someone that's overly excited or happy. But passionate joy is really what catapult to over that little getting stuck point because there's always that point where I think in anything where you plateau a little bit, or you go back like diets, stuff like that, like where you're on a diet and you're kind of you're doing really well. And then all of a sudden you just one day go back into your old habits. So what I really think has helped me as even just as a creative person is to visualize what I want and focus on that rather than what I don't want. And it's so easy to get caught up in appearances. And again, I want to use the word perception, because sometimes things appear a certain way. And one of the quotes I got on my tea bag last week that I even shared with the gas station attendant was the difference between a flower and a weed is judgment. Isn't that powerful? I mean, and I was just like, this guy asked me how old I was. I posted it on Facebook. I'm sure you saw that. But this guy was like, I don't know how old your idea is saying you are, but you look like you're maybe 26. And I'm 25. So you might be made. You look like you could be maybe 26. And he was just totally shocked that I looked the way I did or something. And I just I took it as an opportunity. Like, I think a lot of people wouldn't know what to say to that or just thank you or whatever. But I knew it was an opportunity kind of like the girl who came up to us at the restaurant and just didn't know what to do with the energy. She was just like, I knew I needed a plan to seed. So I actually shared with him that message. And then, you know, the, the weed and the flower and then it's judgment. And then just to choose happiness, choose joy. It's a choice. So to raise your vibration, to answer your question. Another thing I do is I just simply choose how to look at it in the most positive way. And when I say positive, I mean, this situation is here to open up more love in my life. And so I'm going to take it as an opportunity instead of an obstacle. I mean, even you can say it's an obstacle because that's really what it is. It's not looking at it like, like you're not looking through reality or whatever. Because that's that's another thing I get a lot of times is you're not being realistic or you're too airy fairy or whatever. But it really is just choosing to look at things from that compassionate standpoint. And to me, that's what the masters teach. It's what the angels are here to tell us is ask for help, be humble, walk lightly on the earth, you know, don't get attached to material things. There's like so many little simple truths that have really stuck with me. But the passionate joy find what makes you happy and brings you to that center point in any situation so that when you're in traffic, you're literally blessing everyone around you and you're still in your peace and in your light. And maybe even say out loud, all as well, you could be in the craziest situation ever, all as well. I think I said that we had some complications, even just getting here to this conference. And I just kept saying all as well, it's commanding using your words and your vibration to command all as well, all as well. And it is what you say what you believe becomes. So that's 5D as well. And that's why we're being urged to expel anything negative that could be preventing you from being able to command your reality. Because that's really what we're here to do is create this new reality. But not just by ourselves. It's going to take, you know, a group of Legion. Do we have any other questions? I actually have an observation. I would like to know your opinion about it. My father will be 87 this September.  He's a very traditional old military fighter pilot guy. Long story about his his path, but I actually showed him some chair yoga. And I'm saying this to kind of, you know, I had no idea if he would. And I mean, he took to it immediately. And because he knew he needed it. Well, the very next day he told me, you know, wow, that really took care of biggest part of my pain, you know. And I just wondered about your thoughts about because I know people a lot of times my own pleasant say, well, I can't do yoga because I'm not flexible. I'm like, you're the perfect person who needs yoga. Exactly. And that's really that was my message today, even though I kind of went off on a few little tangents. But definitely that yoga moves the energy through your body your your energy wants to move. It there's no such thing as like, technically stagnant energy because it's always going to go somewhere. That's why a lot of times, if we don't make the change, the change gets made for you, like it's that same concept. So when you're doing yoga, it literally is taking that initiative. And it's like, it's kind of like when you meet the universe halfway, the universe will more than meet you back halfway. And it's the same with yoga. It's like, there's no wasted effort. So that's actually one of my goals is to be more consistent with yoga because I see the healing that it's so powerful. And you just tap into it, even just a little bit. And it can heal your your pain very quickly. One of the things I'm learning in my yoga class or my yoga teacher training is that it purifies your system so completely that you almost feel kind of sad because you don't you don't want alcohol, you don't want to smoke, you don't want to like it just completely purifies your cells because it's on a cellular level. And that's that's one thing I'm really I'm so lucky to have you because that's probably saving his life right now. I mean, pretend I just, you know, some people who may be like couch bound or whatever or older, they take the yoga is not for them. And I'm just, you know, the smallest right even the smallest.  I lived with the 94 year old woman who did cherry yoga. I'm not really I'm not sure if she's still around. But she was doing yoga her whole life. And that was sort of one of her things that she would just always do. And she got to a point where she couldn't drive anymore. I think she stopped driving in 92, which I think is incredible. But people would always ask her, what do you do? Because she's just like, so vibrant, she looked 30 years younger than she was. And again, I get the same thing for people like, wait, how old are you? And so it's literally just, it's a choice. And anyone can do it. There's modifications for every single posture. If you can't like say bend your back. Eventually, what's really awesome about that is that if you do it consistently every day, or at least once a week, three times a week, however much you can try to fit it in, you will notice differences and changes. I wanted to echo what Candice said, because I was led to yoga over a decade ago. And there's a big misconception that yoga is about flexibility, because I can't even touch my toes. Yoga is very much a way to connect your body and your breath. So it's very much a meditation. So like, like they were saying, there's all kinds of different types of yoga for everybody. And I think that, that theicubabilities are endless, just as the poses are endless. And even myself, as somebody that can't even touch my toes, I tend to lean towards the things that I'm good at. So naturally, I kind of flexible. So I don't do yoga every time I do it, I connect it to my body and my breath, which I think is invaluable. And it's really honoring your body, your vessel, because that's what this is. We are like, I think you were Greg said, these are our shells. And what yoga does is it really connects you to your body to your, I call it my temple. It really is that it's, it's something to be honored. And when you're doing any kind of yoga, you're connecting with that, even if it's just through the breath because just breathwork is yoga. That's yoga. You can say, Hey, I did some yoga today. He just, you know, breathed a very deep full breaths. It's just really being conscious and connecting. So thank you for bringing that up. That's that's really important. A lot of people are afraid to be in their body. Absolutely. Absolutely. It's not easy. Earth is not easy. So it is, it's a way of befriending that, that gap, because I think we all have these gaps. And I think especially women, we've struggled with how we're supposed to look and be. And so yoga is a way of really befriending your body and connecting with it saying, I love you thighs. I love you arm like, you know, you may not be bending as much as I want you to be, but I love you where you're out right now. And it's really like, that's actually a really great practice to is to just take a moment in your day, go to the bathroom, go outside, whatever, and just tell your body you love it in different places, especially the places that hurt. It's especially those places. So it's powerful. So is there any more questions before I wrap it up? Her name is Cora Flora. And she actually gave me that scarf, this beautiful gypsy scarf. That that's kind of how I look at it. You sit right in an Austin. Yes, a quick. Anything. Those are actually the best. I would say that just five minutes. I think one morning I ran around the block because I just felt guided to move my energy. And my I had the most miraculous day. And that's all it was just a run around the block. It's not like I did laps or anything. I just literally was like, I know I need to move this energy. And like this beautiful woman over here said that she channeled the sun salutations. Our bodies are telling us what what it needs. So just listen, she's being in tune to that. So yes, that's the I say that they're very related and interchangeable martial arts, yoga, anything that moves the energy. It's something I've actually, it's funny you say that because I see that being something I'm going to incorporate because I'm kind of like the DJ of yoga. I like to mix all the different forms together. And I really love putting putting together sacred playlist as well. Because to me, the the sound goes right in line with it's really good. Absolutely. And it's again, it's it's like it's achievable. It's accessible. It's it's a button that you can all tap into. And that's really the message is that it's it's here for all of us. And I think that the old paradigm of meditation being hard, yoga being hard, all of these these forms of connecting to be hard is not true. And just really take a moment to shift that within yourself and find what does work. It may not be the word yoga, even though for me, my name is Yolanda. That's my full name. So I mean, this is my Dharma. I guess that's just what I'm supposed to express here in this life. Any other questions? Well, thank you so much.

In this video, we're gonna provide the solution to question 21 for the practice final exam for math 1210, in which case we have a ladder that's 13 feet long, it's rested against a wall, and the bottom of the ladder is gonna be sliding away from the wall. So I'm gonna draw a picture to help us understand what's going on here. Here's gonna be the ground that the ladder's resting upon. Here's the wall that the ladder will be resting against and it's fair to assume that the wall is perpendicular to the ground. And in the color blue, I'm gonna put the ladder here against the wall. All right, so this is our ladder. What we know about the ladder is it's 13 feet long. It doesn't mention anything about a collapsing ladder or anything, so I think it's fair to assume that the length of the ladder will be constant 13 throughout the rest of it. We've seen problems like this before where the, since the ladder is sliding away from the wall, we're gonna let X be the distance between the wall and the bottom of the ladder. This should be increasing with time. Well, as the ladder slips, it also means the ladder will fall. Let Y be the height above the ground of the ladder. That is, let Y be the distance from the bottom that is the ground to the top of the ladder at a given moment of time. And so these quantities are gonna be related to each other by the typical Pythagorean relationship. X squared plus Y squared is equal to 13 squared, which 13 squared is 169. All right, so if the bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a rate of one quarter foot per second, how fast is the top of the ladder moving down? We'll get to the rest of it in a second. So what is this value here about the a quarter foot per second? This is describing the derivative here. So we get that DX, DT at this moment in time is gonna be one fourth of foot per second. So we know how quickly the X value is changing over time. We wanna know how fast it's falling down. So we have this question about what is DY over DT at the moment, at the moment. So let's go back to the sentence. How fast is the top of the ladder moving down? That would be DY, DT. When the bottom of the ladder is 12 feet away from the wall. So we're trying to figure out what is, what is DY, DT when X equals 12? So there's a couple of things we need to do here. So first we're gonna take the derivative implicitly to help us find a relationship between X prime and Y prime. So taking the derivative on the left-hand side, we're taking the derivative with respect to time. We're gonna get 2XX prime plus 2YY prime. On the right-hand side, you take the derivative of constants at zero. I'm gonna divide both sides of the equation by two. This gives me XX prime plus YY prime equals zero. And you just solve for Y prime. So we'll subtract XX prime from both sides. So YY prime equals negative XX prime. And then divide both sides by Y. We see that Y prime is gonna equal negative XX prime over Y. All right, so we have a formula for Y prime. We would plug in the value 12 for X. We can plug in the value one quarter for X prime, but we don't know what Y is. So we have to come back to our original relationship. That is this Pythagorean relationship. If X equals 12, we're gonna get 12 squared plus Y squared equals 169. We solve for Y. 12 squared is 144. And so we're going to subtract 144 from both sides of the equation. This gives us that Y squared equals 25. That is Y equals five. So with these values in hand, we can plug them into our formula. So we get that DY over DT at X equals 12 is gonna be negative 12 times one fourth over five here, which four goes into 12 three times. So we end up with negative three over five feet per second. And it ought to be negative because the ladder's falling. So the height above the ground is getting smaller over time.


Our problems in Africa is actually because we have migrated from Africa. We are here physically, but we have actually migrated. We are aspiring to be something else. We need to go back to Africa. This is where our solutions are. This is deep. Welcome to Kami National Monuments, which is also a well-tiered site. This is a pre-colonial city, which was the capital of people known as the Torwa people. And the ruler here was known as Nkami. And the site eventually was named after him. This is a site that comes right after Great Zimbabwe. It's the success of Great Zimbabwe to the North West. And then there is another one in South Africa, because when the Great Zimbabwe fell, there were three splinter groups. One went back to South Africa, one went to the North West, the famous Mutapa state. And then the Torwa people came here. Now, why are they known as the Torwa? Torwa is a shona name, or rather kalanga, which refers to people who are coming from somewhere. So the locals who were subjected by these people were coming from Great Zimbabwe. We are referring to them as those who came from somewhere, who are ruling us. So that's why they call them the Torwa. The people that are coming from Kami rooms are descendants of Great Zimbabwe. Yes, definitely. These are people who are coming from Great Zimbabwe. So if they are descendants and they never lived in Great Zimbabwe, which means probably there was a war and they decided to separate themselves from Great Zimbabwe? Definitely. The reason why Kami is established and the other center where we find the Mutapa people is definitely because there has been a conflict there and now they split. So conflict led them to this place? Conflict led them to this place. So yeah, sometimes conflicts lead to expansion. Why did they get their granite rocks from? It's different from the one in Great Zimbabwe? Yeah, it's definitely different. The granite we find here is a bit reddish, while the one in Great Zimbabwe is silvery in color. These are layers, right? Yes. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. And did they establish this without mortar too? Without mortar, yes. Can I get closer? You can get closer but you can't climb. No, I'm not climbing. I'm definitely not climbing. You said this was established by Africans? Africans, yes. Without mortar? Without mortar. I'm sure only Africans could do this. Till up there. So you find that this place down here was the place where they would have meetings with the king. The king used to live right up there and he would come down here for meetings. I think they wanted to have meetings at a place where they are actually marveling at the face of the terrace rocks. This is the most beautiful you can find here at Kami. It's beautiful. So they also wanted to decorate the king's place with all these nice designs. Does it mean that the king lives over there? Over there. That's where you would find the king's houses there. I just want to go up. I don't want to ask you so many questions. This is the king's residence. And you find a number of houses here. This is one of them. You can see the remains of the foundations in the wall. So they would use a packed F to make the walls in the foundations. So this was like a two-roomed house. This kingdom extended in all directions around and the king from here was supposed to be able to look around this kingdom. Can actually see everyone. Yeah, and see everyone. See how his people are doing. No one was happening here. Right. So this is the security area because the people who would be coming to see the king would not be using that path we took. They would be taking this long winding one. And once you get there, that gate there, once you enter it, this way you are scanned. This way the truth is revealed. You say you are here to see the king. You say you are here for this. But are you really here for that? So you would be checked spiritually by the spiritual gurus in there.  I think those days the security guard for the king would be the Sangomes. So once you pass that, you are free to go see the king now. So on that here, right here, there were two tasks here. I don't know if they were instruments for divination or they were just symbols of reality. That's all you guys found in here. You can even see the whole right here. So which means one would be here. One would be somewhere here. Yo, can you guys remember what we found at Asian Lodge Resort? There were two ivory just connecting each other. Yes. With the king's palace. I think they got idea from here. That's the formation they were taking. They came towards each other like that. In a number of our traditions as well, ivory is a symbol for reality. The elephant itself is a sign of reality. This is the heart that's believed to have been the king's heart because it's the topmost point of the hill. The reason here shows that the king used to live here.  No, the king really lived here. I think I have to build a house in here. Look at that. It goes down. Yes. So this is the path that people would take coming to see the king. If you drop closer, you will see this sort of a little corridor there.  But I should say the corridors here although narrow, they are a bit broader than those at Grace Babu. This almost like Grace Babu, right? Yeah, it looks like exactly Grace Babu in this lane. But if you check, you realize it's a bit wider than that at Grace Babu. Why? I would think it's because now when they are here, these people are feeling we don't want to rely more on physical structures for security but we want to upgrade to the metaphysical structures. We want to base more on the spiritual security system which is why we have that vetting house. When you come, we are going to vet you. Yeah, now we are using witchcraft. I think it's more like when you have an iPhone, right? We had an iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 came. It was more advanced. I think people coming from all the way from Grace Babu, they saw the architecture in there and when they came here, they were like, okay, since we broke out during conflict I want to show you guys that we are more powerful and we went a lot. That's why I think we advanced. Thank you. That's what I see in here. This is beautiful, man. I was born in Africa and I don't know this history. Today is my first time and I have to be honest with you. But now you know the history. Now I know and they have to know. That's how I keep on telling you guys, come along with me, travel with me. Travel with me, not just for the women but for history videos. That was the king's bath. So that's where the king would bath. No one else was allowed to bath there. If you are seeing there, it would be interpreted as something subversive.  Maybe you want to poison his bath. So that would end you a death sentence. So even after Kami had been abandoned and we now have developed people around here, they still called it Isisibasengwe, meaning the pool of the crocodile. You don't get into the pool of the crocodile. So the king is the crocodile. Careful. This is a bit steep here. Is it a part for the king to go and take a shower? To go and take a shower, yes. And I don't think the king will shower in every day because the river is down there. Maybe twice in a month. In a month man. If I live here, definitely I'm not going down every day. Every day. Ya. So the king's path would continue this way. But we are going this way. Where are we going right now? To the cross. The cross. The archeological findings seem to indicate that that's where the kingdom's treasure was. This way they would keep all the treasures right there. Why not keep something close to the king? People who are responsible for the finances, for the treasure and oh, we're living there. I think this is something that African leaders need to learn. Ya. They shouldn't keep the countries gold everything close to them. They should give it to the people. Give it to the people. No, they don't give it to the people now. They are not learning from their ancestors. So this is the cross platform. And as you can see this cross is made with is forced with some cement. Ya. It's not original. It's not part of the original inhabitants of Kami. They are not the ones who did this one. Okay. So this is a kumikan cross which must have been put here by the Portuguese. Because the Portuguese came here for trade. They also participated in a civil war here which took place here which weakened the tourist state leading to another group called the Rosie coming to conquer and take over. So it's believed that this cross was put up by the Portuguese in imitation of what was taking place here. Because this was a worship area this is where people would come to enter the gods for good luck, even for healing even for all family and personal matters here. There is another place where national issues would be addressed now spiritually, not here. This was for family issues, for personal issues. So when the Portuguese learnt about what was happening here they also adopted this place and then they put their cross. So as you can see up to now people come here to make their little sacrifices and whisper a few words to the gods they put money here. Yes, they put money. Some put rings some put earrings, all sorts of things. This was the kingdom. This was the capital. How many people were living in here? Within the town. I won't be sure of the number but the kingdom itself was not limited to the area around Kami. It is the royalty. It is the power system that was here. But you find that they were ruling over people all the way to probably Guero probably to the border with the Botswana, Zambia and O. Which means this place was a kingdom for royalty not a place where more like you are living in a city where residential everyone lived around here. Is it the same for Great Zimbabwe? Yes, you see what people don't understand is when we say Mapungubu fell and then it was succeeded by Great Zimbabwe. Mapungubu was not a center where all the people would be living there. It was the royal capital but they would be ruling over people all the way even back into Zimbabwe. So we see royalty now moving from Mapungubu to Great Zimbabwe but they are still ruling over people even people who remain back there. So when Kami is established it's only Kami now is no longer ruling over the whole kingdom that was at Great Zimbabwe because now they have split. So some people are now paying allegiance to another capital but we would say probably close to half of the people. It's just like our Harare. Harare is a city and it's the capital city of Zimbabwe, the whole of Zimbabwe. This is where the president lives, the cabinet and all but they are ruling over the whole of Zimbabwe all the way to Bedbridge, to Plumtree to... So if let's say we are comparing this to modern day this is the state house. Yes, you would say that this is the state house like the top most that's the state house but you also have some of the ministerial you know some powerful people around so they form the government here. When the villagers have harvested there is a little percentage that they are supposed to submit to the king and it's kept in here because the king doesn't go for me he feeds from what the people have harvested but the corn that would come here was just too much the king would not exhaust it so this is what the king would use to support the poor. Yes. So it's a concept that's even there even now that's what I wanted to tell you. Yes. Like when people grow maize in here, the corn in here all the maize of the country to the government all the maize that we grow because for security reasons sell it to the government to the government but do you know that government prices are always no good they are not sell it to me. No, I'm patriotic. I'm patriotic. But why is it a law for you to sell your maize to the government? Yes. For security reasons to feed the nation. Yes. They got a concept from here. Right. So we have like our grain marketing board where people send their stuff and the government is able to support the nation from that. Even in the rural communities the kings, the chiefs now are doing the same so people will submit a certain percentage and they would look at orphans people who are poor they would help them from there. What was the economic activity that was going on here? So just like Great Zimbabwe it was mostly farming as in tilling the land crop production and also cattle ranching. So we find that the choice of the site apart from the security concerns was also the availability of water so it was just next to the Kami River. The Kami River was very instrumental in the economic activity especially for farming and also for their cattle. But also there was big game hunting because now the Portuguese are coming to trend and they are looking for ivory and the locals are now taking part in that kind of activity so that they also get goodies that the Portuguese are bringing. The Great Zimbabwe fell Kami also fell down. So just as the Great Zimbabwe was a very important trade centre Kami was also a trade centre after Great Zimbabwe. So there was a civil war just like Great Zimbabwe and one of the contenders enlisted the service of the Portuguese to help him win but this should have weakened the state. The whole Kami state led to another more militant group called the Rosi to come and conquer them, subjugate and take over. So it means two people rule this kingdom. Two groups rule this kingdom. So that was sort of the end of the Torah. As an African any time that you come in here how do you feel? Okay. So as an African I feel like this is just some of the evidence that we have that as Africans we had our own innovation our own unique ingenuity that if we had not been discouraged from following that if we had not abandoned it would be somewhere far ahead of what's regarded as the first world today because I believe there is greatness in African civilization that is actually pioneering ahead of what we have now. The problem is as Africans we've been discouraged we feel like our heritage is useless but if we look into our heritage we find clues of how to forge ahead and be ahead because now the problem is once you abandon your own you introduce something new you can't beat the person who introduced that to you you are always following behind but if we followed this we would be ahead. Does it mean that Africans feel inferior? That's the feeling that most Africans have they don't believe in their own. Does it mean maybe it came about the fact that we don't know our history? Yeah. So which is why people like you should actually open the eyes of the people to our history, to our heritage so that they realize the richness of our heritage. Because this is mind blowing you know whenever I see things like that I don't feel inferior anymore I feel like what are we doing wrong because if our ancestors were able to put rocks together without the rocks falling down and arrange rocks like this with no mortar even right now we can't even build houses without mortar. So one of the problems in Africa is actually because we have migrated from Africa we are here physically but we have actually migrated we are aspiring to be something else so I'm actually writing a book The Journey Back to Africa I really want to read that book The Journey Back to Africa it's not a journey to be undertaken by someone who is physically out of Africa people who are right here we need to go back to Africa this is where our solutions are This is deep to what do you mean by people are living in Africa but yet they've migrated out of Africa what does that statement mean? This statement means that if you look at what we do now our processes our aspirations our hopes someone who in three to days is hoping when I grow up I would like to go to England live in England when I grow up I would like to do this so where is our hope where is our aspiration somewhere else we aspire to be something else we are abandoning the greatness that we have we are abandoning the rich heritage that bears all answers if we go back to the drawing board as Africans we begin to develop from there I'm sure no one can beat us how do we do that? look technologically we are way way ahead do you see Africans introduce wireless everything African was wireless but we discourage it's dark magic it's witchcraft it's bad and then they reintroduce wireless and we aspire to embrace that one look traditionally someone could travel from here to Harare just at the click of the button imagine if you were to go to Jobbeck for a meeting at 10 am and you would be in your office in Bulawayo at 1 minute to 10 and they say guys I'm going to Jobbeck for a meeting pa you are in Jobbeck you show up there the meeting is ending at 11 2 pas 11 you are back in Bulawayo how bad is that? we are told that is witchcraft and it's evil and it's evil but witchcraft is just like nuclear energy nuclear energy can be used for bad can be used for good we are using nuclear energy right now in our labs diagnostics and all it's good but someone can use it for destruction witchcraft can be used in the same manner you can use it for good for development familiar prowess and you can the bad people can use it for evil that's not our fault I say let's go back to witchcraft are you done with your book? not yet when is it going to be ready? probably by the end of here most definitely I wish this book was ready while I'm here because I really want to know more from him afrikans introduced wireless this is the new thing I'm learning today

Well, let me get a real picture, but let me say this mission, you're on, I'm sure you realize the great importance of it. And with regard to getting further armed reduction treaties, I have one Russian phrase, which I said so many times before, which I'll show up in the future. We all need to do these dolyan, no prolyan, trust, but verify. And that's what this is all about. If you do that in the verification, as I say, it's going to be impossible for the treaties. We've just come back from this Canadian summit and said that they're there. Prime Minister Maloney told me they had just found an embassy there.  So it is a great responsibility, but I know that you can carry out an again possible further means for all of us. I'll sneak you to the middle here. Could everybody turn slightly side? Holds fun. You just trust everybody. It's good folk or wisdom. Well, God bless you all. In advance of President Evgeny's visit, we'll give an expanding American policy to deal with his public opinion again. Thank you very much. Well, why don't we come over and sit down so you can get some of this. If you're doing the interview. Thank you. And I'm coming to Turkey. I plan to come to Turkey.

The headwinder speech. You know, things like this. Also, we're shot by the assassins. We only had one other. We had a case in our history. Theodore Roosevelt. And we're shot. Yes. Mr. And the same. You sent a message. Yes. It will be the first time. Yes, that's right. I admit it was out. So before the visit starts, do we have a message to President Evgeny? Thank you very much. This is a video cassette of Istanbul. So I hope if you watch the video cassette of Istanbul, you'll be found to come to Turkey. Thank you very much. I'm very pleased to have you. Thank you. This is Maria Angus. And this is Sarah Warhol. Just by her. Hello there. We have single pictures here. Okay. How do you do these? Mr. You're not looking. Marisha. Now it's about families. I'm sorry. Okay. Tell Howard Green, he never got this. He never got this. Okay. I told the President, you all came here when I came here. Many years ago. 66. That's right. You were elected the same year in California. I was elected. Thank you so much. Thank you. That's a good idea. That's a good idea. I always put the ladies in the middle. That's a good thing. Thank you. That's awesome. Girls have fun. Thank you. Mr. President, this is Major Gary Golesky. We do everything. Welcome aboard. Nice to see you. They have you here. We have a little something that goes with this. First days aren't numbered or anything. But you've sort of tied in with worst cavalry outfit. I understand. We always make sure everybody gets a belt buckle. I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Mr. President, I would say that Gary may be the last one of these transfers we're going to have to make. I think the current crew of the AIDS are the ones that you will have with you now for the remainder. Thanks, sir. And even with the cavalry thing, and I was a worst cavalry, I enjoyed it too when I wound up flying a desk for the Army Corps. Well, I did a little bit of that myself, sir, so I know what you mean. I've never cracked up a desk. I didn't do that. I tried with some airplanes, but I didn't do that either. Well, I'm glad to see you would have you here. Well, thanks, sir. It's not... Okay. Thank you. I thought you said Santa Monica. We'll take off. I've never been to Australia. I have. A couple of times. They don't call them ranchers. I was out at the cattle station. They called me. Mark, do you want to go off? The disappointment was that they took me to the tax room out of this ranch. And then there were all the saddles, and all the statues, and all the stuff, and then there were all the saddles, and all stacked up there along the wall. But the tax room was filled with motorcycles. That's how they heard the cattle now. Motorcycles. Presenting the President. I was Governor of California. Asked me to do this trip. Here we come. Sorry for the delay. President Maria Mbia. Well, how do you do? How do you get Mr. President? Thank you. Thank you very much. Congratulations to you. Thank you very much. Nelson Diaz.

We really appreciate, Mr. President, that I did take the opportunity of bringing Glenn Clark, Avon, and Peter Headey of Ninet, who have supported this project over the last year. And I might say that these pictures will be used in any materials that we will be sending out to the high schools and use these distinguished citizens as role models for our community and having you involved in this is going to make it that much more effective. That's wonderful. The name of this country is all about it. I had a letter to a man one day not too long ago.  You can't become a Frenchman. You can go to Germany. Name all the countries. Part of it. It's important that we would see how these people are real life achievers. They can raffle anybody in this country back out of any other chance. My father once, when I was very young, took me a while to understand what he was saying, but it took him. He was telling me, my father was Irish. And he was saying, the Irish are the only people in the world. He said, it built the jails and filled them. He was in Bosnia, in a big city, and discovered how many of the policemen were Irish. That's funny. Congratulations. Thank you. Hello there. This is the Francis Christian Godot. Nice to see you too. I'd like to see you again. Can I watch you again, Godot? In the question. Yes. Let me get this camera. Hello there. Good luck. Thank you, sir. Good to see you. Thank you. Yes, yes. Nice to see you. Yes. Your Congress is in the United States. There's already the word, these guys. I don't know. They died out very easily. By this head. They look beautiful. For you. Thank you. They've got lovely people. Thank you, sir. Some of the people who are here, not only is this for all of the great contribution of their art, but also we're most grateful for the fact that the manuscripts that have been presented here make the greatest contribution. There is. And as a matter of fact, in the Jefferson, or the New Jefferson building, there is going to be a Gershwin room. Thank you. President, if we could stand closer together and turn the meadows around for a picture here, that would be very nice. He means face thee. Thank you. Did you know what you said? Yes. It says, Medal of the Congress, 1985, of thee we sing, and then there are two bars of music, and it says, shining star of inspiration, worthy of a mighty name. Wonderful. Yes. I think we'll have everybody else come forward here for a group photo now. I think so. Thank you. Would everybody like to come in for a photo? Would everybody? Yes, please. Would you sing? Do you know that that's an Irish handkerchief? No. That's Irish handkerchief. I didn't know that. That's it. This is actually Irish handkerchief. Lighting star of inspiration, shining star of inspiration, shining star of inspiration. Dr. Vorsa, who treated us from the library. That instruction, Mr. President, was written by Ireland himself when he visited the library. He said, shining star of inspiration, worthy of a mighty nation. And I do mean the Library of Congress. It was at June 9. Did you do that? No. I think it goes down the slide. Thank you very much. Well, thank you so much. It's a great pleasure to see you. Thank you very much. No question at all. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to do that. This is wonderful.
