The sun salutations or sri namaskar are the basis of all yoga asana. It is the ability to move the body in a purposeful way to wake up the blood, to wake up the body heat, in order to move energy. The grandfather of modern-day yoga, Krishmacharya once wrote, Where is the conflict when truth is known? Where is the disease when the mind is clear? Where is death when the breath is controlled? Therefore surrender to yoga. There is also an ancient teaching that says no one is wise by birth for wisdom results from one's efforts. As someone who has practiced yoga for 17 years now, I will tell you the gifts that you will learn about yourself and about the world at large are infinite. When you start to dig deep inside the majesty of your own body. In this episode Shanti and I will be talking about the journey through the sun salutations, the journey through the body, the mysticism of the body and the original conspiracy theorist, the yogis. Hello everybody. I know we're filming this on Saturday, but this is going to be airing on Sunday. So happy Sunday, fun day appropriately enough. This is Sunday is the halfway point of this. Can you believe it's already been 30 days Shanti of the 60-day shadow work challenge? It's insane. It's insane. It's insane. And I'm also loving, you know, checking on the group and it's really good to see how everyone is just so cool with each other. It's lovely. Absolutely. We got guys in the group now Shanti. We have men in there like they're so active in the group of Mark, Steve. Like these guys are like kicking it and killing it in the group and it's just so awesome. I know I feel bad because those of us who run channels, we don't have, you know, we're constantly filming. And so I'm so grateful to Jan and to Sal. We have some really great moderators in there that are some of our viewers that have really, I was telling Sal and Jan last week, like they are the reason why that group is still running because they are really, really taking control of like really helping keeping the chat going. And it's just awesome, guys, make sure if you're not in that signal group and you want some friends and you need support because shadow work can be hard. The work can be very draining sometimes when you're a human being. We're working through your nervous system. And so sometimes it helps to know that you're not alone. And sometimes it helps to know that it's okay to have days where you're sad and it's okay to have days where where you you know, we have expectation, we have reality. And sometimes the expectation is not the reality. And so it's it's it's nice to have friends around the world that can help and hold your hand and just give you virtual hugs. And so it is I think it's appropriate. We're doing this video that have waypoint because we're going to be talking about the loveliest some salutations and the challenge. I was telling Shanti last night, I went through I have I have like the hoodles of books and I went through and found some of my older books that I bought in India years ago. And this is one of them called Help, Healing and Beyond. I will put a link to it in the description box. It was written by Desik Achar, who was Krishmacharya's son. Krishmacharya, who's the man in the picture. He was the man that's responsible for making yoga accessible to people outside of India. And I'm going to read a quote from but I just wanted to show this quick picture, you guys, this really old picture of these students and this kid right here who's in a posture called Kaputasana. Krishmacharya standing on top of this deep back then that is Guruji. That is my teacher. That's my boyfriend's teacher was this little kid right here who's now passed away. But he passed away at like 98, but that was a boy and that's Krishmacharya, his teacher. And that's the back bend I was in where I punched Tim Feldman coming out of that back bend when I got pulled three years ago, the only person I've ever punched coming out of that back bend. But I wanted to go and read this quote. I thought this was beautiful. This is in the introduction where Desik Achar is writing about his father and the many definitions that his father gave for yoga. And one of this, he goes, yoga means arriving at a place we have not been before this. This Krishmacharya interpreted literally human potential is limitless in its capacity for clarity and comprehension and change. And I loved that that human that Krishmacharya believed that human potential is limitless in its capacity for clarity, comprehension and change. It's going into places we have not been before. And I just love that. My teacher used to, you know, the base word of yoga means to you, but if we go deeper into that, in order to find union between everything, there has to be mental focus and mental clarity, which is one of the definitions of meditation is to find that that one pointed focus. And that's and we use the asana. So for those who are very new to the yoga practice, you know, the asana, the postures that you see so famously see are a huge part of the practice, but they're not the meaning of the practice. It's a tool. And I always tell my students, if you're using the postures as a way to feed the ego, you're not doing yoga, but if you're using the postures as a way to know yourself, to work through yourself, to use your body to reveal things to you, that's yoga. And it starts with the sun salutations. Sun salutations are the birthplace of all the yoga asana, of everything. If that is a complete practice in itself, it's just the sun salutations. And that I'll tell you what, it totally is a complete practice. You know, I must say sorry to interrupt you, but just on that point, it was just like in the years gone by as well. You know, if I've been able to only have 20 minutes or half an hour. I would literally go and do 12 sun salutations. And that was it, you know, because it really is an amazing way just to get the energy flowing through the body. It's 12 postures all rolled into one, if you will. So you're getting bending, stretching, twisting, all of these things, you know, flexing, and that's exactly what your body needs.  Releases the blockages with the bending, twisting, stretching, breathing, especially. The breathing is amazing because the breathing is uplifting, and especially with the sun salutations, because it's one breath, one movement. So it's like, yes. And I want to she's I loved it. You brought in a lot about that because we learn. So this is I'm just pulling this up quickly. This is from one of our manuals in the Ashtanga practice. We start every single whether you're doing primary, serious, I can see whatever series you're doing, you everybody starts with the sun salutations and Shanti's right. And I tell my students that if you only have 15 minutes, you just do the sun salutations. Like that is the bare bones of everything you need. My my original teacher, David Grieg, would say like, if you were going off to a deserted island and you could only bring five yoga postures with you, that's all you could bring. You're not going to be bringing the fancy postures. You're going to bring the foundational postures, because that's where it's juicy. And so we have this in our manuals with with our with our students. And yes. And what I tell my students, so yeah, movement, it's we use the word vinyasa a lot. And what the word vinyasa means is a choreographed movement with breath. So what on purpose movement with breath. So like the first position of Surya Namaskar, a we are bringing the hands together above your head. That's the achum inhale. So you're inhaling as you're lifting the arms up and then you're exhaling to exhale as you fold. And that starts to work with the bundas really, which then gets the blood moving. And the blood is that beautiful expression of your soul and your spirit. And like when you're holding downward facing dog for five breaths, I tell my students all the time, you know, downward facing dog in itself is a variation of a handstand. So you're pressing in. You're starting to really press into the hands and feel the fingers pressing into the floor as the arms grow and protract and the more the body heats up, the more you're going to feel the body unstick. You're going to feel the ribs start to move. You're going to start to feel as the heels are grounding down to the floor. I don't care. I know Shanti doesn't care. If your heels ever touch the floor, it's not about that. It's about the pushing down to allow that energy to move through the hamstrings, to move into the belly. Well, a lot of people don't know. I find in my classes that forward folding any type of forward fold, people often think, oh, my God, it's about the hamstrings. So that's secondary. The main purpose of forward folding is your digestive system is being able to move the colon and allow the blood to flow through.  I always tell my students, literally, we could probably teach like a three hour workshop just on everything that's happening in this, in this. And so and so, yes, I'm so, I'm so excited. I guess this is something that's real. And this was all your idea, Shanti, was to do this, to do a 21 day sun salutation challenge towards the middle of the challenge, the shadow work challenge. So what gave you this? Shanti, what was like when you wake up, you're like, this would be a really good idea. I love yoga, but, you know, for me, I'm not a purist in anything I do. So anyone will know that about me.  And I'm going, only one way, I'm just kidding. So, you know, for me, I really find the best way that I work, have worked in my life. And I've also been extremely hard on myself. I'm very competitive with myself. I come from a family of six. I grew up having to compete for my, for my role in the family. So I would compete, you know? And of course, I grew up playing competitive sport. So it was really great, you know, to, when I started doing yoga many years ago, just to understand how to relax, you know, for me, it was really just about bringing the mind, body complex into alignment. So the breathing with the yoga, for me, is amazing because it's just calming the mind down. It calms everything down. And I love to do things in a structured way. It's like, you know, when I did my teacher training in India, in the Shivananda lineage, you know, and I mean, I was 47 or so when I went to where for my teacher training, I only started doing yoga when I was 45, six, that was when I started doing yoga, you know? So for, then I love to teach beginners and I love to take things and I love to break them down in bite size chunks. It's like, you know, my mission in this life, I was born with this amazing gift where I understand things. I can see it clearly, but very few others could. So it was like, I have to take something very intangible or very abstract and turn it into something tangible. So over the years, I've done that with my son, kids stuff. I've done that with my workshops, you know, my alchemy courses, the whole energy, we don't see energy. We sure as heck feel it though, you know, so it was that yoga for me was the last step of integrating all of that into my body. So for me, yoga was really the integrative, is that the right word? Yes. Practice of everything that I had understood physically. So for me, yoga is really an enjoyment. It is such a beautiful pleasure. It is, it is the stretching. I love to stretch and I know you're not a great Yin fan, but I will definitely say Yin is the complement to Yang. So Yang is the masculine. And if you're only doing masculine style yoga, you're not getting the Yin in as well. Oh, that's not a good word, Sange. We do deep stretches in our Sange, yeah. Exactly.  We get real hot and sweaty, I like that. And it is, sweating is good. I'm strong, I love a strong practice. But I want to tell you as well with the Yin, the stretching, you're sitting in a position, a stretching position for up to five minutes.  That's really where you learn how to calm your nerves. That's where you learn. It's actually more challenging than Yang in the sense that you have to calm your mind down. It's amazing when you're sitting in a position for such a long time. And I mean, even if it's just a forward bend, I mean, I'm good at forward bends. But let me tell you, when I'm sitting in a forward bend for five minutes, that last minute, especially, I mean, the first three of lists, right? And then I start getting, OK, where? And then you start feeling. And that's it creates this nervial fluid between the joints. It brings in that feminine, gentle, supportive to the body. It really is an amazing practice to do. So I like to combine my practices, which is why I then took my beginner practice that I learned when I was in India. And I actually broke it down into segments of eight weeks. So not only do I bring in the 12 original postures of the yoga practice, the core postures, which is what you learn in your 500 hours. But you're also bringing in, you know, then I was bringing in my teachings, you know, when that aligns to that look, look, look. So it was really amazing, as well as the sound. So I really like to break things down. And I have an idea about things like and when it was like, wow, I want to do this a week of thirty six, a week of seventy two, a week of 108. And as I was doing it in my first thirty six on day three or four, I remember. OK, on day three or four, I remember. Yeah, on day three or four, I remember that that I then got the idea that I actually wanted to do that with my group of students as well, you know, so to do it. And then obviously just looking at the numbers because the number thirty six, you see, if you look at three plus six is nine, seven plus two is nine. And one, one plus eight is nine. Nine is the cycle of completion. OK, it's the end of a cycle. Cycle is being the zero, zero, zero running around. And boom, then the one is the new beginning that has the same. And new a new a new a new maroli numerical value as zero. If you look at it, nine plus seven is 16, six and one is seven. Right. Zero plus seven is seven. So we've got a look. And so but the number three plus six has a different vibration to seven plus two. So three plus six is all about the thirty six. And that's why the first week we bring your intentions to the four. Your prayers, your desires. Do you want a life that has more meaning? Are you trying to resolve relationships? Are you trying to break away from something? Do you want something more structured in your life? Do you are you looking for love? I don't know. Whatever it is that's in your in your space, then you will obviously know what it is. But for the first week of thirty six, there might be more than one thing, you know, set your intention. And because at the beginning of every practice, you set your intention, right, because yoga is a prayer through through your body to the divine. So you set your intention.  I'm I think tomorrow is tomorrow is my last day of thirty six on my fourth cycle. So what happens then is is is I have found that. Let's say I set my intention for something just to figure it out. Right. Often it dissolves within that first practice. I'll get my answers then, you know, but then I found that with things. So I said the intention was OK, cool. That's that's clarified now, brings something more. So then you bring something maybe deeper, something more long term. And you just work with that. And that's your intention. So that's why for the first seven days, we only do thirty six. We're going to shake it up with thirty six. I ask you not to go further than that. There's a method in my madness. So just to be able to, you know, keep it at thirty six. Then I'm going to ask you guys to take a daybreak, one daybreak, OK, between thirty six and seventy two. I just want you to give your body a break because you will find it's quite intense. Not only will you start getting a lot of spiritual clarification, but you find your body gets stronger, firmer, it's like more toned. You feel more energized. I don't know if something happens within the body. You can't explain it unless you experience it. OK, then give yourself one daybreak. Now, then we move on to seventy two, seven days of seventy two. Now, seventy two would be the number where you got to find the balance. So let's say now after thirty six, you. OK, this is what's got to be done. So seventy two is often where physical changes come in. So let's say you want to leave your job. You'll often find you might get fired or retrenched or suddenly you get another job offer or something like that. Or there's an opportunity for you to move out of your relationship with your marriage or I don't know whatever it is. Something comes that you can study something. So you might need to this time make physical changes. And that can often be very scary for people to make the physical changes. Right. So this is what you work with. This is often the time that you can feel a bit raw. Gosh, I had experiences on my third cycle of seventy two, like out of the blue on day five and six, I was on my mat. And suddenly that's when I said I just got the insight that my sister collapsed. I knew what needed to happen. I knew what needed to do. It was just out of the blue. So suddenly it's like things just erupt in that time. So maybe you need to make peace with someone. Maybe you need to apologize. Maybe you actually need to take a step forward. And do something to create the change you've asked for. So that's what seventy two is about. It can often be a little bit a little bit unnerving. But that's why we have the group. And I'll be with you guys. I'll be checking in with you regularly. And you'll be obviously welcome to chat with me about stuff like that as well. So then again, after seventy two, you then take another day break. So give your body a break in all through this time. I suggest you guys journal and especially in the day you take off where everything is just settling in, you know, things kind of like when you just have a moment to give yourself, then you're going to just settle in and things are going to and suddenly while you're journaling, things start coming up. And then, of course, the one eight. And honestly, this is not half as intimidating as it sounds. I want to just say that. OK, some people I know who I've spoken to can take up to two hours to do it. Give yourself time, press the pause button if you need to go to the bathroom. If you need to, you know, take a drink of water, but come back. Try not to break it into separate parts of the day. If you can, if that's all you can do or well and good. But if you're doing it continuously, I'm going to say thirty six takes about 20 minutes round about there. Seventy two will take you about thirty five forty minutes. And then one eight will probably take you maybe 50 minutes to an hour. If you are doing it like after each other, right? But if you, you know, you welcome to take your time this morning, how my body was tired, I had to double the time on my thirty six as what I usually did. So you just want to take it at your pace. And just, of course, now one eight is the number where things kind of get exposed and come into fruition and you get clarity on things and answers arrive. And I have to say it doesn't mean that it's going to arrive then. It could arrive later, a week later, you know, but the whole thing is you've set the intention.  That's the whole thing is to show up for yourself. This is about commitment. It's about committing to yourself, showing up for yourself in a gentle, loving way. I'm certainly, as I said, I do things in a gentle way with your body. I always believe your body needs to just feel comfortable. Your body must feel it wants to do more. It's ready. You know, it's like we talk about the root chakra.  You know, you must feel ready. That's why I say, stick with the 72 and the 36 for the seven days and let your body feel it's ready to move forward. You know, and then you can take it from there. And as I said, the 108 is lovely for Asian and it's all about, you know, manifesting and just really, you know, the 108 is also it's kind of like your right of passage into the yoga world. And many people I know will do this once a year. They'll do 108 once a year. That's like their thing. Once a year, guys, we doing it for seven days. It's big. OK.  If you can only do six or 12 or 20 or 30, please don't beat yourself up just. Where you're at. It might be necessary for you to be stuck on 15. There's something about 15 that's making you stick there and ask yourself instead of getting frustrated. Oh, I flunked. I didn't do whatever. So put yourself, get your journal, go for a walk, take a breath, calm down. You know, relax and just see what it is that it is. Just hang on. Is there. Apologies for that. There was someone at the door making a heck of a noise. Well, that's OK. Well, at least I was usually about people building outside. So thank God they're not doing it today. But no, I love that. And I want to try. There's a couple things because I looked up while you were saying that we and the opening chant we have an ashtanga yoga we say for every class. I know it like I know it at the back of my hand. I was pulling up some some some clips of it. So I put it in this video when I'm editing because you're talking about the intention. Well, part of the opening chant for the ashtanga yoga, the opening prayer, we do before every single practice, which is in the IE. So the three traditional yogas, guys, the three legitimate lineages of yogas in the world are Shanti's lineage, Shivananda, ashtanga, my lineage and the IE guard lineage. Those are the three that are still the remaining like legitimate lineages that come from these teachers in India. And the ashtanga and the IE guard lineage are the two that are very closely related and the opening chant we do an ashtanga yoga. The first verse when they go to them. Chant it on a Vinday. That is specific to ashtanga where IE guard has a second one. But the second verse, Abhahu Purushakaram Shaka Shaka Dhariram. That is the same as the IE guard. And what that says, basically what that translates to is I go to the jungle doctor to ask for healing. Well, what does that mean? That means that you are you're telling the universe that you are opening yourself up for whatever is to come for whatever needs to happen. Yes, I used to have that said, I go to the jungle doctor every day because that's part of the open. It's not you're literally not going to a jungle doctor, but that's part of what they're saying is you're literally opening up yourself to to receive whatever every person is going to be different. It's very independent. That's what I love about traditional yoga. You know, in a traditional yoga class, we practice in my sort style where we're not leading a class, you know, the classes and being led we have one led class a week where we count the vinyasas. That's it. But in the Mysore room, you know, like AYA is open from like five o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the morning. A student comes in at any point during that time and the teacher works one on one with the student and they do whatever series. That's how we do it in India. And that's what's so powerful, because even though people are working through the same template, the postures are the same. Depending on what series you are, the experience is always different for each individual student. It's always going to be different. And the teacher's job is to help you through the templates. But it's your job. You you have to be the ones to receive the information and have the experience. And I always tell I love you about that up, Shanti, because, you know, if we if we take spiritual spirituality out of the practice of yoga, we just look at it from a physical fitness point of view. Yeah, they're going to be some people that might that are going to be really fit. They're going to be able to move through it. And some people who are going to have to go a little slower. And that's OK. All right. I tell my students all the time, like you can't fail yoga.  Your ability to execute the postures does not does not determine your value as a human being and your value spiritually. All the postures are all the sun salutations are is an experience. For you to get into and it's going to be different.   Sign me up. My body is feeling great today. It's just open and strong. And then the next day you're going to get on your mat and you're going to feel like the freaking 10 man. You're going to be falling all over the place. And so so that's just how it is. And there's no and there's no right or wrong. It's just doing it's just doing it and experiencing it. And I I love you talk about the body changing in the strength because that's something we and Ashutanga yoga. We we we have a lot of extremely. There's a lot of I don't want to say flexibility because it's not about like it's more mobility. We have a lot of leg behind the head stuff. We have a lot of standing up with your leg behind your head, dropping back into a back bend and standing back up again. You know, of course, that's not done on your first day. You build up to that. But we never talk to students about getting more flexible. That will never come out of my or any other Ashutanga teacher. It shouldn't come out of anybody's mouth because flexibility is fleeting. It changes every day. But what we are going to tell you do every day is to get stronger, get stronger because something happens to the psyche. When your body starts to shift and those muscles start to get stronger and you're able to lift yourself up and hold yourself into that downward dog position. There's a shift that happens in the psyche and the body starts to move energy. That's why, like an Ashutanga yoga, we never passively stretch because that can cause injury because the muscles aren't engaged to move the energy. And so when the muscles are engaged, they move the energy and that brings that information forward. And so, yeah, I want everybody watching. I don't care. I know Shanti doesn't care.  Doesn't matter. But what I care about is, are you feeling the friction? Are you getting the information and having the experience that you need in that moment? Because only you can have that. Are you having fun? You know, even if you are going through discomfort because anyone who has started yoga will know it's people have such a weird perception of yoga. I don't know what they think.  It's very challenging, you know, when you start. And it's, you know, and it's amazing, not the movements or, you know, as you're getting more advanced, but when someone has done with dog, for example, a lot of people have no idea how to support the body in that position. So if you're just going to clunk down into downward dog, you're going to hurt yourself. So it's about really having your hands positioned, your arms, you know, your hips and all of that, your legs, all of that. And it's just, sorry, my breaking up here. Oh, you were, but you're fine now. You're fine. It's my internet answer. Are you listening? Yeah, you're fine now, though. It's just, you know, perfect. Thanks. It's just when you start learning, and I think especially what I found over the years, people who have had abuse at the hands of others, especially when they were a child and helpless and defenseless, they learn not to trust their body. They learn not to trust that they say. They learn not to trust that they're strong. They learn not to trust that they're capable, whatever it is. When I found, when we start working with things like yoga, and suddenly the mind starts aligning, the body starts getting stronger, you start feeling in control. You see, yoga really is a practice of the mind. That's what it is. You know, the physical practice is just, a, an aspect of it. It's one of the legs. And unfortunately, yeah, and I can understand why the yogis in India didn't want yoga coming to the West because they didn't. And I can see now why, why because it's become usually commercialized.  You know what, and it really isn't that. It's not a practice where you joke about having beer, yoga, or a cup like that. That's not, that to me is such, it's offensive when people do that. It's offensive. You know, I'm not a purist. That's offensive to me too. When people talk about doing yoga and bars, like it's like a slap across my face. Like it's very offensive. And I love animal death, but I know at AYA we have a lot of Indian students, which I find to be a great honor that they trust us and come to us. And there's a Atlanta magazine that a free magazine that comes around to businesses and they had a cover story of goat yoga. And we had to ask them to not drop the magazine off at our Shala anymore because it offended our Indian students so much that they were making a mockery out of, and they love goats too. They're vegetarians. But the fact that it was making a mockery out of this very sacred practice. And so absolutely, I totally hear you on that, Shanti. And I'm glad we checked. Because that is very offensive. Just call it yoga then. Just call it goat pilates or yoga lighties.  Go to lighties. You know, we're going to go to lighties today. I think it's great. I'm honestly, you know, and that's why I say I'm not a purist. I have no, I like to take a bit of this and a bit of that and mix it here and create my own delicious recipe that I call my life. And that involves, that's why I'm certainly not one denomination. I love many denominations of spiritual studies and ways that people worship God. You know, I think it's amazing. I've had, I've lived in Africa. I see other African people do it. I've traveled not hugely, but a bit. So I see how they do it, you know, in other countries. I've had lots of foreign friends. It's amazing to be able to embrace God in so many ways. And I really think, you know, for me, yoga is all about just enjoying my body. That's what it is. I will not forget, and I think I might have mentioned it before in apologies if I have, because it's nothing worse than hearing the same story 20 times over. But I read an article many years ago about a guy that had an accident and he was a quadriplegic. And he expressed such regret at not having enjoyed his body. And for me, that struck a chord that, and I really felt at that stage, I was wasting my body because I know I've got a strong, healthy fit, very genetically healthy body that's in my genes.  It was just amazing to be able to... We're going to do a pole class together when I come to see you. We're going to put some stripper shoes on. So fun, so fun. I would love to do a pole class with you. It's just, yeah, I still have my pole, I've got to put it up. So I'm just going to have it very erected, and I can do it, I'm just going to get the right guy, right there, we don't have men in this house. I don't think my boyfriend would mind if I took pole classes either, so. You know how that came about? I have to say, I will never forget many years ago while I was still living in Johannesburg, I went to one of my friend's bridal party, and instead of having a normal bridal party, she had a pole dancer. And with one of these portable poles, and I'm going back guys, this was long before pole became a thing. Nowadays it's a thing. This was long before it became a thing. Grandma has been around the block a few times. Anyway, so it was the funnest evening ever.  And then she had this whole bag with masks on. So you put a mask on, you kind of like, just were just this different confident kind of person. So, and I was up and down this pole. I just said, every woman should have a pole in her bathroom. And not for her husband.   Have your music on, twirling around the pole. Do you know that was the most amazing thing? Because then, and then it was a good few years after that when I moved down here and then I looked for a pole class and I was amazed, there was one. And it was a small studio, only three poles, right? So there were only three students at a time. And it was incredible. Do you know the confidence that a woman bulls? Then at the end, I was teaching pole one. So I could teach beginners. I was qualified to teach beginners. And my students, and many of them, it's the first time ever, some little bit overweight, whatever, I said, okay, there's a rule in this class. No granny panties. Everyone has to wear G-strings under their shorts. And it has to be booty shorts. And you have to wear crop top.  If you come to my class. I'm going to pull up, hold on, I pulled it up for Atlanta because you guys, I'm going to go find one of these classes. I don't want to say my address.  It is so. You have lots of fun doing it with other girls. I went and I actually gave my, I bought my friend, as well for a birthday. I bought her a month or two, I think. So we used to go together. And I tell you, we had such fun learning. And it builds your confidence. I, as I said, I had my students coming in there, never even, hardly even, and you've got to know, I live in an extremely conservative area as well. Lots of opera cons people, and they brought up very, very conservatively. Hadn't, I mean, the one girl does not change in front of her husband. She goes to the bathroom and she gets dressed there. All at the time, that was the story. And I was like, no, no, no, no. Not, not me. Not while you're here with Auntie Shanti. And I tell you within a month, that was maybe two, maybe a little bit longer. That girl, her whole vibe changed. It's beautiful. You just twirl a bit and it's got nothing to do. I mean, you've got to do a lot of spins. You've got to practice spinning. The first thing you do is spinning. Okay, before you can climb any way up a pole, you've got to spin. You're spinning left and you're doing your kicks and it's quite boring in the beginning. And then you start learning how to climb that pole. Oh boy. And then you can start jumping up and flicking your legs up. That was fun. Ha, ha, ha. So I would hide, it's a little bit of a topic, but there was lots of fun.  Look at these classes, naughty and nature, quick and dirty. I'm gonna, listen, I'm gonna talk to my Atlanta girlfriends who have never done this before. And if you guys want, I'll find a location, I'll reach her, I'll call them and I'll see if we can film a class. So if my girlfriends will allow me, of us doing a beginner pole class. So that's, I mean, yeah, I agree because you were talking about- I highly recommend it. And then you were talking about, I'm gonna show you guys the mice or in a second, but you're talking about your body, Shanti. And I will agree, I'm 40 years old now and I feel better at 40 than I did at 30. And I feel like I'm getting younger and I was born with a bunch of health problems. And I give it all to yoga that I love my body. I love wearing a bathing suit now. This is what I was gonna show you guys. This is what a traditional mice or room looks like. This is my Shala in India. So you see how everybody's, and obviously you don't do that on the first day. It takes years to lead up to this. But I wanted to show you guys, like every single person in this room is having their own experience. They're not following a lead club. That's my teacher, Sharad. They're not following a lead, a teacher telling them to do a certain thing. They're following the different series, but they're doing it on their own independently. And just seeing how the human body is capable of bending, even though you don't do this on the first day, over time, to be able to bend like this, you have to be strong. And you have to build that strength and that opening and the blood and the body. And that's one thing I was reading in this book as well that we say in mice or the mice are magic. The mice are magic, because we call our classes mice or. The mice or magic is when you start to do yoga and you see people in the room doing things and you think, oh God, I'll never do that. I'll never do that. And then one day something in your mind goes, wait a minute, maybe I can. There it happened. Yes. And that's in everybody in this room. Even my teacher started off one day as a beginner. As a freaking beginner. I mean, there was one of my best friends with Ekapateshya Shasana. These are some of my videos from India. I was playing around in India, like being able to allow your body to go upside down in the seven different headstands. I mean, that's just something that as we get older in as people, when you're practicing yoga, your body almost kind of gets a little younger too, because you start to be able to do stuff that you didn't think that you could do. You know, and that's here's my friend. That's the lady that, the girl that rescued Robbie, my dog, my friend Denise. You know, and so it's this incredible experience to be able to, I love when teacher stand on you. I just love that. To be able to, this is my friend Harmony, who is a teacher up in Canada. That's one of our students at AYA, when she came down to teach.  It's ability to move your body in ways that you, this is, okay, so this was cute. My niece was watching my boyfriend practicing outside and was mimicking him on the inside and he had no idea she was following along with him. It's just such an incredible experience to be able to see your body move in ways that you didn't think it could.  That's my friend, Elizabeth, she's a mother of two. Look at her, you know, like the fact that you work, these people are so hard, including us and all of a sudden the body starts to give you that benefit of working as well. And so, yeah, there's Robbie when he was, that was when Denise first rescued our dog in India. Robbie, when he was a little puppy, little street puppy. So, you know, it's just, so yeah, I'm glad I am anything. And that's why I love the bar so much. I'll show you a po-pic. How about that? Do you get to get a po-pic? Oh, I love it, Shanti. I'll show you another one. I love it. Yeah, let me find another one. I'll just, I'll share. Actually, there's another one. Oh my God, I love it. You see. That should be on your match.com. There was another one. There was a cool one as well. Yeah. Oh, that's really cool. It's lots of fun. It is. Lots of fun. And just go ahead. Go ahead, sorry. There you are. Well, that's what I like about the bar too. You get to explore your body movement all these ways. It's like, and it's all, and that's what we just had. There was a friend of ours that was just in town who is, teaches in Norway and he was talking about too, like, any time, once you understand the principles of yoga, you can incorporate those principles really into any type of exercise, exercise program, because it's allowing the body to experience itself. It's allowing the soul to watch the body experiencing itself. Here's AYA's, AYA's my Ashtanga page, our Shala page. And just to see these, all the students, just to see, like, there's my original teacher, David Greene. There's Guruji right there. To see all of the, to hear the chanting, to hear the beauty of the words of the voice is coming from the body as well.  And that meditative movement with voice that also comes through the movement of the body too.  I could talk about this stuff all day. Something I wanted to bring up with you too, Shantaya, talking about this last night. That yogis were the original conspiracy theorist. Because you have to, you have to question your reality in order to practice yoga. That's what yoga is. Yoga is questioning reality. Yoga is finding the true through the illusion. On a very simple broad base that's saying that you know that you're, oh, did I lose you Shanti? I'm here, my camera is giving issues at the moment, but I'm here.  We were saying, you know, for people to want to practice yoga they're questioning even themselves. And part of yoga is seeing the truth through the illusion. And that truth is that you are, it's breaking the bondages of your mind. And knowing that you can, it's what Krishmacharya said, it's that your capacity is limitless. The matrix wants to put you in bondage but you go, wait a minute, something's not right. I am limitless. I am. And so that, again, is the beauty. That's what we were saying. The beauty of the practice.  That's where it starts and that's always where it ends is those sun salutations. Exactly. In order to be able to do postures like this this student here gets where she started. Sun salutations. Sun salutations. She started with the sun salutations. In this practice, before she got to this, she started with the sun salutations. You know, it's, it's, it's, um, this is a, this is a mice room, guys. This is what a mice room actually looks like. And you'll see all the students are practicing at different places and at different, in different levels. And a teacher walks around and works. Usually there's two or three teachers in the room. Todd is the senior teacher. He's the senior most teacher in the southeast actually. And he kind of is a master teacher. All the other teachers walk around and kind of do what he wants them to do with each student. So this student to be able to do this, this is not, she's been practicing for like 10 years. You know, this is where her body and through this, this particular student has had like two kids while doing a practice, while growing. And that is just, I mean, I just, that's my favorite thing about this practice is just the way the people just shock themselves all the time by what they can't, what they thought they could do versus what they can actually do. And one of my favorite quotes is don't believe everything you think. And that's what yoga teaches you is usually you are your biggest critic. Usually your thoughts on yourself are so limitless. But when you get into the practice of yoga, you start to go, wait a minute. I'm, I'm not, I'm not I'm not in bondage. That's my choice to be in bondage and I can also choose not to be in that bondage of thought. And my body can fly because my spirit has the ability to as well. Here's the old Shala. This is the old Shala back in the day. That's my teacher now. This is the picture of the young child in Papua Tafuna, this is him as an old man teaching Shala. And so it's just such a beautiful practice. It's such a beautiful practice, guys. And I hope that I hope that that you guys will join us in this now. So with that being said back to the Sun's Iutation Challenge with that being said, I because the 60 day challenge we have so I have, we're going to be starting the Sun's Iutation 21 days on February 27 Monday, February 27 we did this intentionally because we're building up to every day fast. So everything is done with Shanti is also going to be we talked about that and we'll do other episodes of that we get closer. So we're putting these things in the challenge intentionally at certain dates. Now because it's a 60 day challenge and because we have people from all over the world doing this for the starting February 27 I have other exercises as well for people who aren't ready to do the Sun's Iutation Challenge or you can do both. You know, there are some people who are going to be able to do the Sun's Iutation Bar class depending on it's your experience. So with that being said if you want to partake, I didn't want to overwhelm people in the beginning with sending too much stuff if you would like, oh and Shanti froze, kind of a funny picture, she froze, if you would like to participate in the Sun's Iutation Challenge you have to email me starting today starting with this video video airs, you have a whole week to email me at

in order to prep yourself for the Sun's Iutations, I know Shanti, are you going to be doing a separate signal chat or just be in the original signal chat what do you want to do? look I can, I think what I could maybe do with this just because I'm sure not everyone will do it so I do have a signal group as well where I can post there and post the stuff and it's up to you actually, I don't mind in both groups so I'm just thinking the people that are I would love to have it in the main group just so even people who are maybe there are some people that are a little afraid to do it right now maybe if they see the encouragement from the group they could see it in the main group and see, I know you've made some videos as well Shanti with the Sun's Iutations so I can share those on my community tab as well I have my, now guys if you notice on the Shadow Work challenge up to now every morning I have you guys watching the 15 minute Sun's Iutations that I did a long time ago 5, 3, Namaskar B the reason why I put that in is because I knew we were building up to Shanti's challenge so a lot of you guys have already started to work through the Sun's Iutations so I want to encourage you to try this there is no there's no winner, there's no loser yeah it's such it's just a beautiful way to commit to yourself to challenge yourself in a challenging yet non-threatening way you know it's really

David Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble, joining us. Thanks for taking the time, Mr. Taylor. I appreciate it. You're welcome. I look forward to talking with you, Brian. So there's obviously has been a lot going on with Procter & Gamble over the past couple of months, but I want to open the floor to you. Who is Procter & Gamble right now? You hear so many things by the activist investor Nelson Peltz out there. We read your financial statements and there seems to be a lot of good things going on, but we'd love to open the floor to you. I'm sorry, P&G is a profoundly different and a much stronger, more profitable company. We've gone through a major transformation the last several years and adjusted our portfolio, our efforts in productivity. We've accelerated our already strong innovation program and made changes in our organizational design and strengthened our culture to deliver sustainable, balanced results going forward. Take us through the innovation. I think that's been a key point in what Mr. Peltz has put out in this large, almost 100-page document. What does innovation look like in Procter & Gamble right now? Innovation P&G are brands that delight consumers that make a difference in their daily life and that are superior to the alternatives and the categories that we compete. There's many external measures that I think validate that P&G's innovation engine is alive and well. One good example, and I'll take the U.S., which is our largest market, is IRI does a report each year called the Paysetter Report. In this last year, we had five of the top ten innovations in the U.S., seven of the top 25, and if you go back even for the last 20 years, you'll find P&G has dominated that list. We have more than six of the largest competitors combined, so the innovation engine that has helped fuel our company over the decades is alive and well, and it shows up in our leading brands that in most of the categories we compete, we own. What do you think he's missing here? I think he believed he called the innovation machine is broken, but to be fair, I walk the supermarket aisles, I walk some of your biggest customers, Walmart, Target, and I see new products. What might Mr. Palski missing? I think there's a couple of points I'd make. One, I think he uses outdated information and tries to describe the company that may have existed five or ten years ago. Secondly, I think he mischaracterizes innovation as only being new brands you've never heard of. Frankly, a lot of our innovation shows up on brands, consumers' love and trust. Tide has been a great brand for a number of years, and we innovated the new form Tide Pods, which is growing fast in all the markets we've lost it in. We've innovated in the adult and content area with always discreet, and it's growing share in each of the markets it's in, double digit, which he wouldn't count. Unstoppables in the fabric refresher category is launched, and it's over a quarter billion dollars in growing because it brings extended freshness or freshness over time to close that didn't exist before. So there's a number of examples across our portfolio where we're bringing innovation to brands, consumers' trust and love, and new forms to many of them, which are powerful innovation that grows the brand and importantly grows the category, which is important not only for us but important for our customers. Are you open to launching new platforms? Is that something you're close to doing? Do you want to do it? Is it possible? Are there any very crowded supermarket aisles out there across all over the place? Certainly we're open to launch new brands when we find inappropriate or inter-new spaces with new brands or new forms of existing brands. Certainly both are important but the core of our growth has been and will continue to be innovating in our 10 core categories on brands, consumers, trust and love, and we will be looking at and we are looking at new brands to extend our presence in places where consumers shop. And we've funded that as part of our future upstream innovation which we certainly don't talk about until we're ready to announce. But yes, we have funded and are working on new spaces and that innovation is also alive and well at P&G. That's what I also want to touch upon with you. What I don't think a lot of people know is you have something called P&G Ventures. Take us through that. What type of things, what does that business do? Are you looking for new products? It seems very early stages. Certainly it's the early stages but the P&G Ventures is a supplement to the 10 core categories and that group is a very strong group of innovators that looks at new spaces that we believe we could play in where we could bring products that solve problems and where performance is a key driver purchase intent and that it plays to our strengths and capabilities. And so there are actually many transaction learning tests where we've got products or prototypes out in front of consumers or in consumers' homes being evaluated as we speak. But again, until we're ready to announce things, it's proprietary in the specific categories but we're absolutely committed to growing what we have and growing additional spaces. What we call new jobs to be done that can delight consumers, build our business and create value for share owners. Do you feel any pressure to go out and acquire business? I believe that's one of Mr. Pelt's many sticking points. You haven't used a lot of cash to go out and buy businesses. Do you feel the heat is on to do that? Do you feel you have to do that or the innovation is inside P&G? It just has to be unlocked maybe quicker. I think the answer is both but the primary source of our growth will be organic growth in the categories we're in, building on the brands we have but also we remain open to go into new spaces with new brands, capabilities or forms as we see opportunities. Where I differ from Mr. Pelt's is the belief that we ought to shift away from large brands saying that large brands don't matter when in fact whether you go on e-commerce sites or whether you go in limited distribution stores or in the established stores that exist. Today, what consumers look for most often is brands they trust that perform well over time and that's our brands. In fact, our 10 largest brands have grown the company average last year. Why? Because consumers trust them and they deliver them. There is an important and in that is each of the 10 presidents that is empowered to leave their category can look outside when they see opportunities. The message is the core is to build what you have because that works and we're seeing acceleration in our growth and to me that's a powerful way to create value but we'll also of course look to extend our portfolio when we see opportunities to create value. Take us through your board. I go to the PNG website. This looks like a heavy hitter type of board. Many well-known aims, tons of experience. Why do you think Pelt's has come out here and been so vocal against this board? It certainly seems like they know what they're doing. They certainly know what they're doing. It is an outstanding group of individuals that have distinguished careers and they're very dedicated to helping PNG. If I look at the independent directors on PNG, most of them you probably know or all of them you may have heard of because they all were successful in their home companies or previous professional lives and they're extremely focused at helping PNG continue to grow and to represent all share owners. Interestingly, he says they're not engaged. 95% or a little over 95% participation in all meetings or calls, whenever I need additional insight or thoughts, this board has been ready either individuals or group of individuals or collectively as a board to be available to help myself and the company. So they're providing to me the oversight that is right. They're overseeing a plan that is working. They provide the governance that I think our share owners would want to see and they are very to improve results. Why would, and I'm using your words in a quote in another interview, putting pelts on the board, why would he be dangerous? Does he not have the type of experience that you're looking for in a candidate but take us through that a little bit? I think there's several areas that I believe it is just not right or appropriate right now to add Nelson pelts to the board. And there's two different ways to look at it. For me, we have a very strong governance process that identifies the skills and abilities that are appropriate for future growth and to represent all share owners. And going through that filter, he hasn't been the best pick. We've just recently added someone that I think is a better illustration of what we would want for the future, which is an Amy Chang that brought a tremendous level of technical skills that have been applied in our industry and both innovation, as well as understanding how to leverage the digital ecosystem into our industry. Those kind of skills I think are additive to what our board currently has and we already have pretty strong skills with both Scott Cook and Meg Whitman being very accomplished leaders in the tech space. But specifically, he's got some ideas that I think could have a negative impact on our company and one would be eliminating corporate R&D or he called it corporate R&D as a hobby. In P&G, we have strong R&D in each one of our businesses, but we also see value in having a more focused group of outstanding innovators that bring innovation that may impact many of our categories and it may have a scope beyond what each individual business may choose to take on. And we've got many examples over time where innovation or process innovation, product or process innovation or package innovation has then had an impact across multiple business units and it would not have happened had not the company funded it. So to me there's a role for both and I think he takes a short-sighted view of innovation and maybe that comes from his background in food where he believes small brands, more flavor and short term changes drive growth. In our industry, there's a development and industrialization and a commercialization process that requires to me more thought and investment in a longer timeframe in many cases that he may not fully understand and unfortunately he hasn't asked many questions. He's more asserted what we should go do from the very beginning of our meetings. I'm more than willing to listen to him as an engaged investor and I respect his track record as an investor, but I also believe you've got to have the industry specific knowledge to understand what it takes to innovate and win over and I'm worried about the short, mid and long term. Do you think he's just being short-sighted here? He wants to come in, possibly break up P&G, boost the stock and then head for the hills with his profits? I'm listening to you here and it sounds as if the company might just be on the right direction. It's a longer term. You have to plan things out in the future but Mr. Pells may not understand that. I would agree with that statement. The company has made the changes and will continue to make changes to ensure that we're set up to win in the future and it's showing up in the improvement we delivered last year and we continue to deliver. Having said that, I think yes in your statement, I think he both has outdated information and has it sought to understand the changes that we've made in the progress that we're seeing. I think one of the worst things we could do for investors now would be to reorganize the company and disable some of the long-term innovation that is important for future growth. So I will continue to listen to him as an investor but believe it's the best interest of our share owners, our employees and all the stakeholders to support an outstanding board that's engaged and helping to oversee the transformation that's right now showing results. Let's talk of products for a little bit. Walmart came out launching a new service. They're going to come into your home and deliver products to your fridge. How is the retail environment? It seems to be changing each day. Much more online, mobile. How are you adapting to this? Certainly your observation is very correct and the retail environment is going through transformation and part of what we need to do is a major consumer products company that plays across many categories is to have our brands available across any channel or environment the consumer wants to shop. So we now have to be a very accomplished and well-developed e-commerce capability to work with our retailers. Today we have commerce business in the US, China and Europe comparable to our offline share because we've got products and packages and programs that work on e-commerce and then we also have products and packages and programs that work for our bricks and mortar customers and for the very fast growing small format limited selection in many parts of the world and that may show up in a variety of small formats for existing big retailers and may show up in a variety of different formats around the world but we need to be ready to meet the shopper with brands that they prefer in sizes and price points that meet their needs and P&G's positioned well to do that. Are you testing a store? I was looking over the last earnings call. There's so much debate on Wall Street if you should go directly consumer. Do you want to have a P&G store or a tie or a crest-only store? Is that what the future holds for P&G? P&G is testing a variety of formats and we remain open to go to market whatever way the consumer prefers. What I have seen to date is most consumers want to go through aggregators next be a bricks and mortar customer that's got a dot-com capability that's really an omni-channel retailer which is fine. It could be a pure e-commerce player but I haven't seen in our space consumers want to have accounts with every manufacturer for daily use items. Having said that, we do have a company store that helps us to learn about consumers and continue to build relationships with consumers and I think it's one we ought to continue to experiment and recognize that this space is evolving but that they want to shop at aggregators. Last question. You have spent many years at P&G and you've touched so many businesses and in many respects you've worked your tail off to get where you are today. How is this process, Mr. Pelts? What have you learned from it? What have you learned about yourself as a leader about P&G? Just anything. Certainly on any significant event you learn something and this has certainly been one that has demanded a lot of time and attention. I've had an opportunity to meet with many, many investors and I've got a much better understanding of what it is they're looking for out of our company and interestingly and very re-encouraging is most of them are longer term and they want to balance short, mid and long term and I've got just increased conviction on the need for us to reliably deliver results across each time frame. I've also seen P&G people come together because they're being challenged and questioned and this has been a great rally and cry inside the company to deliver outstanding sustained top and bottom line results and certainly I believe all P&G people recognize that we're being questioned by someone from the outside that's got limited and outdated information but the best answer to that is to get better over time and that's what we're going to do but I am convinced we have the right people the right plan the right portfolio to win going forward. David Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble I appreciate it. Thank you very much


What's up guys coach Javi here, and I just finished up a session figured we'd do something a little different today I'm gonna walk you through a shot that you may see from the likes of arjun robin David Beckham and some of those players that like to go for more of a curl instead of a power shot It's kind of more a finesse trying to find that far corner So it's more of a tutorial video and I'm gonna walk you through it as I go So I hope you guys like it, but you know, it's not really a coach Javi video without a proper intro Doesn't look very happy about it takes off the captain's arm band scowls shakes his head But the aura remains Sprague Sporca now over flights Bratu's down injured his first involvement. His first moment was a wanderer He's entitled to go for it. That is very nasty This could be the shortest derby debut in history Goodness made up as a nasty one You want to focus on for this one is a lot more accuracy than power if you can place it well It should be out of the goalkeepers reach. So when you strike through the ball You can lean back just a little bit in order to give the ball a little bit of lift and When your foot hits the ball You want to kind of follow through off to the side of the ball instead of directly behind it That way it'll give the ball a little bit of spin and cause it to curve right into that far corner So for this type of shot guys I'm using a combination of the inside of my foot and my laces just a little bit The inside of my foot allows me to get a little bit more surface area And allows me to be able to curl that ball and the laces just kind of gives me a little bit more power So i'm not completely going with the laces or completely going with the inside of the foot It's a mixture of both and as you go along you can kind of see what works for you But there is a sweet spot in the middle That's going to allow you to get the perfect amount of curl and some power so that you're able to beat the goal people Usually aiming a little bit past the far post That way if I hit it right the ball should curl and kind of come back in and go pretty close to side netting by the post So i'm actually aiming a little bit off of the goal instead of at the goal Just because I know it's supposed to curl and it's supposed to come back in People ask me this all the time is What can I do to make my weak foot better or just as good as my strong foot the ultimate secret to this question is There is no secret There's no one thing that you can do to make your weak foot Better faster all it takes is get the exact same amount of reps that you do with your strong foot With your weak foot the more reps you get the more comfortable you're going to be with your weak foot Don't think that there's one secret thing that you can do that's going to help you. It's all about practice Correct the technique correct the form get more comfortable and eventually You're going to be just as comfortable on your weak foot as you are on your strong foot So I don't know if you guys can tell but i'm not as comfortable on my left foot as I am on my right So what i'm doing is i'm taking away a little bit of power not hitting it as hard Just so I can focus on the correct techniques as I start getting better and as I start feeling a little bit more comfortable Then I can put a little bit more power behind the ball Just because I know that if I hit it as hard as I can My technique just isn't going to be as good as if I do it a little bit more controlled a little bit slower And then slowly I start building to where I can hit it just a little bit harder So I hope you guys like the session. I know it's a little bit different But if you did make sure you hit that like button that helps out a lot make sure you guys subscribe I'm uploading videos almost every single day and just make sure you comment any suggestions for the future And I'll see you guys later


The research budget by digikey and a different thank you digikey every single league lady user power of engineering help you Yes, you find the things that you need on digikey.com lady data. What are you looking for this week? Okay, so this week Well, you know what it's funny. I forgot to grab my solder tip. So hold on. Let me just carefully We interrupt this to show a sale graphic don't forget sale graphic. Yeah Yeah, let's be up on Monday.  I can't I can't bring the the fine pitch tip, but I can show some other tips. So So I saw this that you know whenever I'm doing the great search I have a couple things that I'm gonna do that for my designs, but I thought there's actually a really good Great search because a common Thing I suggest to people and they don't understand why they say, oh, you know It doesn't matter if you certainly get like an official best high-quality $500 Metcalf, but whatever you do get really good tips for your iron. The tips are actually kind of the most important part and this person who posted shows why so there's an image and The solder, you know, this is a blade tip. So the one the top you see it's pitted and Blackened and the one on the bottom is nice and shiny.  They are You know, especially using with them let with lead free which is higher temperature the metal is going to Get damaged and that the coating isn't hardened and as you use it, it'll wear away and eventually you will lose that shiny cover that lets it conduct heat to your Electronic components and won't work anymore and you'll be sad and you'll be like, how come I hate soldering so much So it's really important to make sure that you get Good quality tips. So I'll show some Tips on the overhead real fast. These are like really used. These are obviously not brand new But in addition to like pointy tips This is a Auto focus Actually, hello, I know what's with these on here Autofocus zoom Zoom, oh my goodness. Okay. Okay. So this is a hoof tip Again, these are like they're these the black spots. It's just oxidized Fluxes, they're actually these are very clean good quality tips So the hoof tip good for drag soldering for QFPs or QFNs. I'll admit I don't I Don't do drag soldering as much. It's a sidelistic thing. Some people like to do it But hoof tips will hold a little bit of solder on the tip There but still be, you know, a fine a small amount so you won't get as much bridging Of course your standard screwdriver tip You know in general the Shorter the tip the better the heat conduction So stubby and you see this is nice and shiny and it's got the screwdriver There's a little oxidation on there from you know flux or whatever some plastic stubby shiny and You know nice edge that will be used for conducting heat This is this is kind of neat. This is a Resistor remover tip so it looks like it's like oh no what happened is it busted? No, it's actually on purpose This is a I think oh 603 remover. So the tip is exactly the same distance as Well, this is a 805 resistor. Let me see if to find somebody with a 603 Yeah So this is the same distance as an oh 603 so you can heat up both sides Easier and then you flick it off. So good for rework for removal not for placement and then One of my favorites. These are expensive, but oh so nice when you are hot bar soldering Oleds or Reworking or removing large components you want to heat up all the pit pads of a so I see 28 at a time or TQFP 100 you know this it will do the job. These are you can see this big Chunky part here is what retains the heat to get it to the blade. So, you know, these are gonna be more expensive But these are very very nice, especially if you're if you do a lot of big rework It's definitely worth the price and then of course find pitch tips as well Which you know it all I'll show better on digit keys just for SMT work. So let's go So can you go back to that person's So they're looking for T15 so if you go to dig a key for any iron you have you're gonna be able to get tips And I always recommend getting like a couple extra ones Especially of the very pointy SMT like fine pitch one because that one is the one that's going to The pit the tip is so small. It's the most likely to get damaged and eventually it will wear away The coating and you'll want to replace it or you will be able to conduct heat very well. So you go to the computer Okay So we can just look for a hat going general. Of course, you can buy soldering irons a variety of them and the assemblies and the pieces all in this beautiful purple and Yellow colorway You know, I think the FX series what I have the FX 888 Maybe this isn't a different. Oh These are tweezer handles. Sorry.  So let's go to just the active And let's go for in stock we'll just to minimize So tons of tips so the T18 tips those are used for the FX 888 stations, which is what I recommend for beginners because they're about a hundred bucks JC here square, you know, I'll tell you another thing. This is definitely a place where I Sort by most popular down because the most popular tips are gonna have the most at stock the D24 2.4 millimeter inch wide screwdriver or the 1.6 inch Screwdriver or the 3.2 3.2 is like for chunky through hole But like fine through hole either the D24 D16 will do fine and Then this is this is the finest pitch one that you can get for the hackle It's you know, the B which I would recommend honestly if you're if you're gonna get a FX 88 it doesn't come with one of So it doesn't come with a B It comes with a screwdriver. I think I'd a D24 D16 So you'll definitely want to pick up a couple of these for SMT worth soldering small components Or even I like to drag solder with a fine tip Here's another fine tip. This is 0.8 inch Sorry 0.8. I don't know the difference between these 0.8. These are very similar It's the same. The thing that's interesting is if you're buying tips for Oh Angle tip, I don't tend to use these but some people like them. Well, this one's like very fine pitch But no because this is so narrow and thin you're not gonna get a lot of heat at the tip there like this is for You're gonna give you very frustrated for trying to do a lot of soldering with the tip this this pointy Not for these Metcow tips, but for some tips the temperature of the iron is set by the tip not by the body of the iron so or the like the temperature Making like whatever the base the brains On that goes you have a dial that you turn and you set the temperatures of using lead free versus lead it solder you achieve You know the temperature 750 versus 650, but if you're using something like a Metcow or some other like high-end Soldering irons the tips themselves are what sets the temperature because they have the measuring at the temperature measuring element and that will determine that the Temperature that the tip is at Just watch out because you might be if you get leaded versus lead free you might be going above or under temperature But none of these all of these hack-o-tips are passive style So you don't have to worry about that and then this is kind of cool. So good. Whoa. This is like a cartridge offset Well, this is a desoldering nozzle. Oh, I see there's a vacuum So there's a heating element and then there's a vacuum so you can heat and suction at the same time And then this is the t-15 series. So this is I guess for a different Iron than what I'm used to because these are these are like, you know, these are like this these types of tips where They poke it and the heating element is within The tip itself which makes them a little more expensive Low-cost tips, they're just metal and they go around the heating element But they don't necessarily make very good like they make okay contact But they don't make like fused bonded contacts. These are gonna get just faster heat up better Thermal conductivity better heat transfer But I'd say, you know, if you have your classic Hack-o compatible or hack-o Suttergarde, I'd say pick up these to start and Get like two Yeah, they're 10 bucks apiece, but they last a very very long time You know, I think I have my FX 88 that I use almost every day and I've had one of these b-tips I only change them out every like maybe once a year twice a year. So good quality tips are worth it for sure And that's the great search


Happy Thursday everybody one of the best days of the week hit to trade. I'm really excited to get a couple of nice little good moves on this B. R. S. H. is one stock that is down really really really really big. And we're going to check it out this B. T. R. But we're going to come back to good to see you later. Good to see you all. Good to see Grant Michael everyone always nice to see us familiar faces and once again everybody on YouTube Facebook live and everyone welcome back good to see you all. All right so let's do a couple of shopping here. Let's see what's happening. First of all you know there was a couple of really nice moves in the market regarding my certain stocks the big big news we're all going to be talking about it is the video. Okay so NVIDIA once again rocketed yesterday earnings announcements that was the big news. I'm actually going to be doing a I'm going to be on NASDAQ today at one o'clock so you can watch me live on there at NASDAQ center. So we'll give you guys the link in the trading room and we'll broadcast live on social media network but we're going to talk a little bit about NVIDIA what's going on on that regarding about how to use NASDAQ hook you and everything but you could see the stock did pretty well. And it wasn't like what happened back here back in May when the thing went from like 300 all the way to 400 but you know it is up about 31 points. The video is doing phenomenal probably the best performer actually I'm sorry it is the best performer of the year. I mean the stock was literally about a hundred dollar price range back in the beginning of the year you can see where it is right now probably and all has to do with a I you know so once again I talked about this yesterday about the forest fires and you know what happened or what happened why you know what the fires there you know these companies you know regardless you do having certain thoughts on that's not true that is fake news whatever it is listen you like a I just scared of it you want nothing to do with it. You want to trade against it you're going to get hurt what it is what it is and the video is really benefiting from it and they are with their super super chips. It's pretty funny but first was their big gaming.  Obviously everyone heard about we talked about the theft that's going on regarding about all these stores and you know they reported terrible earnings and. You know if you've been reading the news and you can see what's happening with with bail reforms and you know they're not prosecuting these people even employees getting fired to even stop these thieves you know they're all getting crushed anyway. Dicks made a video send themselves you know stock hundred fifty dollars only person hurts is the shareholder but for us as an opportunity yet big catastrophe is that opportunity stock I got really hit but it did make a little bit of comeback yesterday and she is poking up there I want to keep an eye on it because it could be a short term swing trade. But until they get this whole crime thing under control and you know what they're not going to stop actually only gets worse so.  As in you know it's going to probably bounce but until they fix that the stocks are going to get hit and you know what we saw that happen with especially Nordstrom's big big brand name department store and all of them. I wish they wish you well there was a couple of the ones to but Macy's all of them but let's talk about what else I was moving in the news. We had BC BC IG that moved pretty nicely yesterday very inexpensive stock nice little move early in the morning went from $5 early to 10 o'clock rent about eight that was a really nice move then did a shake and then a nice pop there only to nine that stock was a really really nice little stock right there. Why can't he go back but some of you remember this we traded back on in May the second written $2.24. Once again don't ever think that because we saw what happened here back on this day back in June it did the same thing 311 and you can see just get smaller smaller smaller but you know it's been a fun good day trade that stock did pretty well. AI did great obviously AI benefiting from the news of what happened in the video so if you missed the video trade remember it is a leader and there are followers stocks and AI was one of them so that one did pretty good at the hours that was pretty cool. APL I was also APL D was also a really nice move going into the afternoon regarding about all these stocks did pretty well Carvana did move pretty move pretty nicely to you know the stock has been very very well to us. We finally came to some major resistance levels back last year exactly at this time and you could see how the stock came right back down. It's small term doesn't look good okay short term it was pretty good on the day trading part about it a couple of the ones I want to touch upon a G was a great short yesterday this thing is just getting hammered Mara did really well yesterday. One of the stocks I did a swing trade on and I jumped in right around here around 10 o'clock and you know stock did really well on on the on the Mara and right obviously same thing and was nice about these stocks is once again you want to be a good good good swing trader you want to be a good options trader it all starts from day trading. So anyway you can see right big big big support levels finally coming back here in April May and June stock was at 20 it's that about 50% you know what I took a shot and it worked out okay so Mara and right exactly the same you can see Mara came down took a shot at a major support levels you know what worked out well so but doesn't mean I'm not going to sell it okay listen. That's why you can't mix and match this is all done into design couple of stocks also on a swing trade did pretty well you know really really well just broke almost all time highs even move pretty nice. APLS was another stock that we had yesterday like I said nice nice big move the stock got destroyed on the swing trade really ticked off I didn't get in earlier. I was thinking about buying it right around the 2029 gap that really nice yesterday but that one also pretty good pretty good swing trade also out there so once again swing trade day trade we do both alright now let's talk about what's moving this morning because that's really why we're here now Thursday is always a great morning to trade. You know best time of the week to trade so I'm gonna go out here and just look up we got with some stocks on our watch list. BRSH is obviously was been a really really nice move now let me go over here and tell you once again if you knew here to Cybertrain University watching what about a watch on social media this is what we do we follow the money so you can see right here. Stock had really no resistance levels around a 45 at the $3 and then finally around 340 which is a 40 cents move that's a that's a lot 1000 shares $400 $100,000 a year salary and you're talking about within 15 minutes. It's coming up to these two big resistance levels they're not huge iceberg orders but they're pretty decent. But you can see how pretty much got there earlier and it kind of backed off right there and zoom a little bit closer and you could see it even happen in the app hours early early this morning at 430 this morning so big big kryptonite right around that for 340 if it breaks 340 360 at that really don't know what's going on. Don't really see anybody out there until after unless somebody shows up but that stock has done really really well. I know some of you already trade in pre-market so congratulations you made money on it. If you made your days pay you know what you know the deal go home. The video all right so the video listen the video the only thing the video is going to work out well for us is that it's going to maybe trade like some of the A.I. stocks like A.I. and G.F.A. I anything that we trade that is in the A.I. industry so the video is doing pretty well. I'm going to keep an eye on it if you're an advanced trader you know you one of those six seven figure traders you could trade in the video if you got the money. Don't go there and trade it you know you could probably trade the options you know I mean they trade the options on it but this listen that's the least of our problems right now. There's a lot of the stocks out there that are less risk less money more reward so let's talk about one of them that obviously been doing pretty well and I'm a shocker about this one. We've been watching the stock for a while and she showed up on the watch list again Groupon my God Groupon has been doing really well lately. I thought the stock was out of business but Groupon's got pretty good movement here. A couple of big buyers shown up here at 13 I see a little ladder effect right here kicking in right here looks like it just came down to 13 and trying to slingshot back. You know what just be very careful because it's not the easy stock to trade. You know that 50% of the people lose all their money in trading because they trade a stock that is not tradeable and Groupon you could see the spread is very very big so I'll put this on the B list. Before I put it on my A list so there's another one right there. There's another couple of the ones I want to touch upon TSHA this one's moving pretty good. This one very nice spread nice tier sizes inexpensive. I saw a lot of orders getting filled right here right around 240 you see these big block orders out there. How many shares was that about 98000 shares out there so and you see he got executed and you can see right here that big green ball. By the way you know that I did an event this week on book back and I was going spending specifically most of my time on the mechanics of time and sales and you know what boom you can see how that kind of worked out right there and how that stock right in 240 up to 260. Beautiful rod very inexpensive. Okay this one TSHA on a watch list I love these stocks that have been down from 12 stock habits you can see here on the long term trade has been a really has been done really well I guess that drug they came out with is the real deal because the longer trades there the better it is.  This makes I don't know what I think it's got to be a merger basically it's a merger or you know or reverse stocks but I don't know what it is but it just came up by watch list but I love stocks like this maybe I'll get a dead cat bounce but doesn't look like anything big going on right here but. I brought up the level for here and I can see there's some big orders showing up right around these prices right here you can see it right there $2 to $40 10,000 not a lot but. Spread looks okay right now it did trade a 4.4 million shares that's that's that's a lot so we keep an eye on that one that was going on and you know I would bring up this is a cool one AMC we made a killing on AMC remember I told you yesterday in the trading room. Just just just just just when you thought that that stock was going to come back. It's going to break your heart we did really really well on AMC so AMC AMC really was a you know it was a really really nice move so. Oh wait a minute it just it just it just it just hit me now they did a reverse stock split. AMC made it did a reverse stocks but last night I had no idea. Oh yeah $2 stock boom alright so what was the trading history about $2 would it do it so it's down to about the most it did a 20 to 1 it was a 10 to 1 that's not 10 to 1 stock split okay AMC. Worst news that you could ever do as a company is do a reverse stock split that is not a good sign at all not a good sign at all remember we saw what happened with Boyle Boyle did a reverse stock split remember it did a reverse stock split over here. Not a good sign when when they do a reverse stock split you want them to do splits you saw what happened with Apple you saw what happened with with Amazon you see what happens with them but not a good sign so anyway AMC. A lot more room to go down that's basically what it tells us it's going to and what happens when they do reverse stocks but it's going to get a lot more volatile that's another reason. Alright so we got a pretty decent list did I miss anything cyber traders anything else out there that a neck hole out. I don't know if anyone here on YouTube and Instagram if you guys want to if you see anything that I didn't bring up so we got 12345 I've got to put a video on yet and the NBA video. Alright let's get ready for the market open about 15 minutes don't forget I am going to be live today at one o'clock at Nasdaq. So look for you guys to watch that show and to talk a little bit about the ultimate famous right here Nasdaq book viewer so I'm going to do a little course on that so don't don't don't. Once again don't don't miss it and we'll start commentary once the market opens up listen we did a open house yesterday I know we have a lot of people joining us if you want to join us on social media on the top left hand corner. You got a QR code just take your phone scan it make sure you like us and friend us on YouTube please get our alerts will live here every morning at 9am and at 230. So we'll look forward seeing you then and you can always join the trading room you know if you want to come and see what's going on so the meantime good luck happy trading cyber traders will see when the market opens up and like I said earlier if you knew from attending yesterday's event. Please don't buy anything in our trading room you are only here to watch this is all you're looking to do you want to see if our traders up here how they think for themselves okay because our job is to tell you where the fish are that you got to go catch them and you got to bring them in because we're not going to be there. There's old saying the Bible feed a man a fish for a day you feel you feel for a day teach a man how to fish you feed him for life and that's our goal we try to do we try to feed you for life so make sure you watch because you want to see if it's for you if you're a good fisherman or not. All right good luck everyone happy trading trade safe we'll see you in a little bit.


Use Case No. 6 of the IT for IT standard focuses on securing the digital value network by embedding security, risk and compliance considerations. This case addresses the need for product owners to ensure digital products are secure by design. Release train engineers to conduct sufficient security testing, risk and compliance officers to demonstrate compliance with policies and controls, and security operations officers to prevent security incidents. By using the IT for IT standard, organizations can achieve improved insight, efficiency and effectiveness in their digital value network. This provides focus, transparency, traceability, and a shared vision across product and security risk management teams. Improved effectiveness can result in greater adoption of new practices and tools, better organization insight from data transparency, and better information for effective decisions and governance. This helps organizations secure their digital value network and protect against security incidents that can impact their business outcome.


This paper examined the interdependence between three different departments in order to better understand how they can work together more efficiently. The authors used traditional and machine learning analytics to analyze over 8,000 applications submitted between 2013 to 2016. They found that staffing ratios, study characteristics, source of funding, and number and type of ancillary reviews all had an impact on the timeline it took to get approval. Additionally, they developed a predictive algorithm which could identify outliers in the workflow. By understanding these interdependences, the authors were able to make improvements to the workflow, such as integrating common functions, improving communication between departments, and providing educational outreach. This paper provides valuable insight into how different departments can work together more effectively and efficiently. This article was authored by John Fontenegi, Antoni Maget, Jennifer J. Ford, and others.


What is the missing part here? What do we have here? Is it the future cost? Thank you, that's the future cost. Hello guys, my name is Dr. Malik from the industry engineering department. In the very first days, I had to get trained from the IT, but beside the training, we worked together with colleagues to learn from each other. We shared tips on how to conduct office hours, for instance online, or how to conduct a group discussion during the class. So all of these we were continuously learning together, and that brought a sense of community. We're getting instant tips on how to do what based on recent experience. So the faculty were sharing their experiences as they conducted classes, and all together this helped us to increase our quality of the delivery. Right now, for instance, in my case, based on the course, I use different delivery modes. I was able to adjust my delivery to the requirement of the class. Initially, I wouldn't think of it so that it was one delivery fit all. But with time, with experience sharing with colleagues and feedback from students, I came up with a different delivery for each of my courses.
