There's a false sense of responsibility in the sense that the mind makes up a world of illusions and then gets wound into those duties, obligations, responsibilities. And then eternal peace seems like too big of a price to let go of those things. So in other words, what you're really calling for is you're saying, okay, I'm convinced that I have some guilt around some responsibilities and duties. And I need to be shown the impossibility of that. I need to be shown that there's no sacrifice involved in this. That me following my highest good for everyone, everything, doesn't involve loss. Because as long as I believe that there's some loss involved in doing God's will, then it won't matter what I'm doing. There's going to be some guilt and some shame that's involved in that. So those are great quotes from the Bible about, you know, who is my father, mother, sister, brother, even does the will of my father in heaven, it's my father, my sister, brother. The ego is involving past associations and I use this metaphor a lot. I call it the 52 card pickup where I see that the ego delt out all of the experiences, the relationships, mother, father, the very ones we're talking about.  And there was guilt in all of them because of who the dealer was, that the ego wanted us to displace the guilt of thinking you separated from God and put a little bit, hide a little bit of guilt in each relationship. And then when you start to let them go, the guilt starts coming up like, wait a minute, I don't want to harm somebody. I don't want to follow my joy and then bring harm and misery to them. Still implying that following joy and following God's will could bring harm to anyone, you know.  There goes Lisa. And that's the truth. I have two teenagers. I'm 17 and 16. But I'll tell you something, what I did, and I told you this, I think that the other gathering was, you know, I just felt this pulling. I really just thought I had no other choice. And I was really in such a state of joy. And my family saw it too. My family saw this changing me. But I was just really so full of peace and joy. And I had guilt. And there's still a little guilt there, okay? But it seems to all take care of itself. Like the one time when I was leaving and I was leaving for 11 days and telling them I'm coming back and I'm leaving for 11 days. You know, there were four days there that I was in this total bliss. What I told you, I closed my eyes and it was like light and nothing was going to let me have any doubt. And I was staying in the joy and I was staying in it and they were like, I can't believe it. They were thinking I was joining a cult. You know, my son, he could go to school and come with me. Then they really thought I lost it. They took me out to dinner and they had like, they did like a psycho announcement.  Yes, I do. He should come with me. I said, it's meaningless. And they said, how can you say that having, not having an education is meaningless? Hey, I didn't graduate from high school, I told them. I said, do I look like I'm doing pretty good, you know, in my life? And I said, I'm following my joy. And that's what I want to teach my family to do too. Follow your joy. Don't do something that you don't want to do. And I tried to, I went back and I tried to do it. And they, my daughter this last time, and she's 17, she said, you must go. You must go. And the other trip, they were all saying, go. And it seems like everything seems to be provided for. At first, it's very, very, it's shaken the whole picture. And it's changed. Yeah, it's changed. It's shaken the whole thing. And it's given up our concepts of, like that's what I learned from those things, our concepts of what a mother is supposed to be.  And what is really important is being enjoyed. It's sharing joy too. It's sharing. It's sharing, being enjoyed. You know, living enjoyed. And they're all invited to come. I don't want you to come. I want you all to come with me. They're choosing not to come. Yeah. So, that's part of the script. Maybe that's just part of the script. Whatever that is to be. Whatever. But our responsibility is to live in the now. Whatever that now is for us and that script is still going to go on. They're being provided for. And to see my boyfriend just, well, I tried to end that relationship. He's staying there with them. I'm thinking that I'm the worst mother in the whole town. I can't believe you're doing this. I cannot believe that you're...  Well, that's something that they never did. Well, I know that. I can't do a lot. She's a mother. But they're doing that for you. Right. I'm sure you would have thought it was me. I was... And you know what? It makes them appreciate me when I come home. It's done something like miraculous to my whole life. They appreciate the whole family coming together and seeing what mom did. So I come now and I'm more grateful too because I don't even have to say to help me. My daughter's... I come home, she's doing two loads of wash. You know, and that is really beautiful. It's all of us, you know, kind of being together and joining in the same purpose.  You know, so I'm going to follow what makes me happy. And if it seems to look like I'm being removed, I'm not removed. You know, we're one and I'm... That I call... They hear my joy. They, you know, they're... Everything's provided. And that's... I'm walking in trust. And that's peace. And what it looks like out on the script to the world. I'm not worried about it anymore. It's much easier when the studies labeled you as mentally ill. So it's like, hey, I'm just crazy. Okay, no problem. You know, just give me a little bit. So still I'm just supposed to be the dog between now, you know. Did you get your question answered? Yes? Yeah, in the book. It says this, and I quote it all the time. The other thing that I'm probably going to say is, if I have any fear, or any form of fear, all I have to do is talk to myself. But anything, including this means. So how... If I don't know what it means, how am I going to respond to it? I refuse to use the learning of my past learning as a light to guide me now. And it says that the guide that God has given you will speak to. I literally... You don't let the past control your future. You what? You don't let the past control your future. No, I don't let... I say, I don't know what anything, including this means. I don't know. Including the present. Anything. I know nothing. But you wouldn't say it, am I right? You'd be a happy camper if you have love, because you just allow and open this for the spiritual meaning. I know nothing because it's all made up. It doesn't exist. Your past doesn't exist. I know nothing. So, if I know nothing, how can I respond to this thing that I'm finding? I don't know how to respond to it because I don't know what it means, including anything else. So, I'm not going to use my past learning, which is all wrong. All wrong. Because it says we have to online everything we know. Am I right? If I don't know anything, I can't use that thing that I don't know to guide me right. That's the whole thing. What can guide me? And only if he will speak to me. That's what the book took. Jesus said it, and it was a direct letter to me in the first person. And so, when I'm fearful about anything, I say this. I don't know what anything means. I mean, if something comes up, and I've got to be fearful a little bit, then, I say it, literally. I say it now, just like it says. Say it to yourself. Do I have to say it to you? And anybody else will listen to me. Well, I hope so. But anyway, he will speak to me, and then he'll tell me, guide me. I did not know. I cannot do it. My own intelligence is useless, and I can't analyze it and get it. Say it, and you refuse to use it. And then the guide that God has given me will speak to me. And I think that's the point that I've been trying to get to in my life. For this guide that God has given me will speak to me, and I don't have to make those decisions. Because it says, I can't. I can't do it. It's impossible. That's the reason God, the minute we had the tiny night out, I did. God created the Holy Spirit, that instant. Fixed it all. Never missed a beat. He created as a woman to tell you what to do. No, that's the way I believe. That He always fixed before there ever was a note, means to have Himself. And it's over. It's done. And you know what this does is it's like, when people look at the Course and they'll just say, or even living in the moment, they say if there were no rules, if there were no prisons, if there were no structures, all hell would break loose, and kind of assuming that this already exists. But it's assuming that, and it's like if there was no judgment, then all would be chaos. And what it is, is no, without judgment, all is love. Because all is now. And it takes a lot of faith to just open and surrender into that now moment with full faith and confidence in the perfection of it. I've had, like recently we were, I was in Oklahoma and this woman, you know, she had two daughters that she had raised a little bit, that were a little bit older, but they were kind of, she thought were fairly well-behaved, not a lot of energy. And a two-year-old who was like this little tyrant, he was spewing stuff all over, climbing on top of the counter, teetling around, and just, she said he's like a tornado of energy. And she says, how do you practice a course in miracles when you've got a two-year-old loose? She said, I'm just always on edge. I'm always looking around, and he's ready to fall off or something, this and that.  But that's very different from using the past learning and fear to say, I gotta stop him from doing this, and stopping this, and yell at him, and control, and this and that. It's a really... I always ask, okay, what do I need to do? And while I have five kids, and I always did this, buy the best cartoon for them to sit down, or the Sesame Street or those type learning tapes for them to sit down, and they do it. I have the courage to have a little boy I can't control it, buy them the best cartoons and that you can see that they are in there, and that boy sit down and watch. That's the learning cartoons, and it happens. It's always an answer for anything, for everything, and it's an answer that you are willing to do to do it. Tim, I'd love to mention your wonderful movie list, to have a movie list of kids. Yeah? And also it's that thing where you have to just let go of your expectations. I tell the story sometimes where there's two... his parents and the VR want to leave you with my kids there, and I think it'll be a good experience for the beach and we want to fly off to someplace. So they were like fishing for my boundary, kind of like we did when we were two teachers, you know, how much can we get away with?  And in the end we had a wonderful week of just joy because it's a sense of inclusion and non-judgment and seeing the innocence. But in the end at one point they got so giddy and so into the joy that one of them, the youngest one spit and I watched it come and land and then his sister looked at him and they both went. Because I didn't react, I just continued smiling and then a spit shower came and it was a really good practice because when you're in the moment, it's like all things work together for good, there's no exceptions. It was a gleeful moment in which all this... But it was just a good thing and again when you're in the moment you aren't into the body identification. It was fun when I did a gathering recently because there was like 25 people and most of them were therapists and they, I told that example and they said, hey, that is not modeling couple of behavior. What is this kid? Then go home and they go to their siblings and whatever, you know, but we had spent the whole week together in that joy and this and that and I said, it's not modeled in terms of behavior. You have to start to remember everything is stopped and when you get to that point the whole point is everything for your own lesson to see, to not have any expectations and to be in that state of so some yogis like to go sit in cold chambers or with their little G-spings. I enjoy being with kids. It was all part of the joy of the moment where you can see that all ego boundaries and rules are made out of fear that's where structure and rules come in is saying, no, this is not appropriate, this is not acceptable and love is a way of forgiving the whole world and just being in the joy of that moment. You have to relate to linear time to tell that story, right? My mother is totally in the moment but she doesn't remember what happened five minutes ago. I mean, I may remind her of something that she would remember but I mean, literally five minutes ago she may not remember. I'm still trying to get this how it is to you that you're not relating to linear time obviously you are in some way because you tell the past experiences. Let's be like parables. I can tell the experience and it's like as I started to travel the country the parables would come out and it would be like I was listening to the parables but it was a feeling like it really wasn't about me. They were just used in a helpful way as it's just like Jesus, you know, there was a man who had two sons and prodigal sons and all the different parables those are like little stories and illustrations that, yeah, at point but really when it's like part of the joy of the moment is you really start to realize that you're not the story. That's the real freeing joy no matter what the stories seem to be who you are right now is not the story and that's where you lose the guilt because the guilt was taking things personally that perspective is where the guilt came in. Could you talk about an issue that I'm facing with a friend? Would you talk about suicide? Yeah, suicide is described as a decision to kill oneself and yet all life and death is defined in terms of form so life, in terms of form definitions begins at birth or however it's defined in those kinds of terms Right, right, whatever Somewhere around birth whatever that's described as and ends around death and suicide it seems to be like a taking of a life So suicide in those terms would seem different than being hit by a truck or what the world would call accidents where something happens to you apart from your choice it just happens to be your day is up, your life is up but actually everything is a decision by the mind So what I like to do is take it deeper and deeper to the point that your state of mind is either a reflection of life or death in the sense that you're either joyful and peaceful and free and happy which is your choice that's the state of mind or you choose hell it doesn't matter whether you're irritated or annoyed or tired or fearful, angry, guilty jealous, all those in the heart So really every moment is like a life or death situation or a life or death opportunity to choose life, to choose the joy of being in the moment or to try to live in the past which is where all those emotions come up still trying to hang on to the linear thing So you see how he lists the whole definition out of a form sense like suicide to, you know, there's a part in the course where he says swear not to die you holy son of a guy he's just saying choose life like the billboards say choose life and he's talking about it with the fetus this is talking about your state of mind you have the power to choose life at any moment so it takes the whole thing about suicide out as if you know life or death then are not seen in terms of form like I worked for hospice and they would call me into the rooms when I would walk along there and whatever they were incoherent or whatever they would get very coherent and they would walk in the room and they would ask me all these meaning of life questions and I would say it's okay you don't have to worry about your parents or your children or whatever and it's okay to go into the light and I was just it was like a reflection of giving a mission to go back to the present moment to the eternal moment and then the next day I'd come in and so-and-so checked out so-and-so I had a high checkout rate which is not good you want to save lives and prolong lives if you see it in terms of form but when you get into content or mind it's all just choose the present moment choose forgiveness choose freedom don't choose you know grievances and hanging on to the past and people pleasing and all that I had a question what is the difference in what you're telling us between monthness in other words you're kind of like a traveling monk you don't have the Buddhist rose but you're doing the Buddhist monk thing here and away and being a householder you see that as also an alternative course well the script is written so I feel like everything and everyone is always a perfect reflection of your mind and everything then equally gives you the same opportunity you know to choose life because if you seem to do the monk thing or let's say you go off and you're in a community or you're even more secluded off in the Himalayas somewhere doing the hours of meditation it's still letting go of past and future thoughts no different than if you seem to be a householder and you've got kids running around or whatever you still are it's the same thing you're going to have to release past and future thoughts and actually relationships in this world are not something to be avoided in the sense that they are like mirrors so when people say well I have children or I have people that I live with and there's a group of us whether it's a community or a family or whatever those are reflectors of what your mind believes and I always say you should be grateful for that because there's an unconscious mind where a lot of stuff has been stuffed down and these people just act out those grievances and concepts and limitations that you still believe are real and true and give you a chance to that's like flushing it into your awareness if somebody is acting it out right in your face which is the way it is with relationships and sometimes with children it's like so much in your face that it's just a speed up it's part of the speed up of seeing what you believe the mirroring occurs at a mind level so when people say thanks to me like well I don't get this mirroring stuff you know I'm I'm neat and tidy and organized and my roommate is lazy and sloppy and messy and there's no mirroring going on clean messy that's a fact clean messy and I say it's like you have to believe in the concepts of lazy and dirty and whatever before you can even perceive them you have to believe them the concepts that are in your mind but God didn't create lazy and dirty and sloppy I've been it's like judging the roommate I've been in places where the people they call a roach of me and I go not for council I go sit down and talk and I concentrate in the mess I mean you're talking about food being for three weeks and then stop I don't concentrate in that and I've been there but people start changing just like that they start changing I don't talk about nothing I'm I treat him like I treat anybody you know no difference and I see I don't judge him I don't pay attention to what's around there and I noticed that not even a month or two they bought a new toilet at home they have a better job you know and I think because I believe it's a goodness and it's okay and I think people don't want to be charged for who they are they want to be accepted and then they make their decision you know I'm okay that is in mind acceptance acceptance is the answer of judgment it never works you know I remember what you said there and that remembrance helped me the next few days to take care of what I needed to take care of in my life and so I think that we can be in the past where the past is helpful like to remember what you said and so forth because then it transforms my present but to have things in the past that you don't want in the past it's actually hurting me like old life that you divorced you're setting all the things you did to you that kind of stuff you should bury because that is not helpful so I think we could does that make sense to you? I think you can bury it you can't bury it just let go of it think of it this way that the Holy Spirit in you can pull from the pool of the past words seem to be used right now words are the past you know we're in coming together and joining in the joy of this shared purpose to wake up to remember God to remember ourselves as love the spirit uses almost like you had like a pool where the spirit could use in the spirit now in the Bible it says let the spirit of God put the words in your mouth if you're called before the courts of men and you know how it is that's the spirit's use of the past or you just mentioned parables how do you stay in the present with stories and when you stay in that state of consciousness with that desire to be helpful again with no clue of what that will be or how that will happen then it's almost like the spirit uses the symbols of the past and keeps pointing to the now with all the symbols maybe they are just stories maybe they are I remember now my pastor said what if you entered this life 30 seconds ago complete with a past written on your brain you know but really you're brand new but you don't know it because the past is pretty but I guess it really is like that isn't it? the stories you're telling from your past it doesn't matter what ever happened they're just metaphors for the now I talked to a hypnosis guy one time he says we're all hypnotized and we don't know now he says yeah I think that the past does hypnotize us in other words we take form to the past and we become so entrenched in this past of what has been taught to us and so we're like zombies sometimes and I think mass consciousness people that never think about how they feel very much and just keep going all the time or the way it's kind of like watching TV and things are going around the house you're on the TV it's cops or something you're getting arrested and all this bad stuff is happening to you and you're going through that experience and people like that running around outside that they're like watching TV and they don't know is that the sense? that's why it's so important to be so attentive and alert to your mind because if you're aware awareness that's where you stay in the moment that's where the joy is and then the mesmerism the hypnotism of sleep of forgetting it's a dream of forgetting it's a movie and you would go to a movie theater if you really were aware and you were in a state of bliss you would just watch the movie and see that you're watching a movie but when you go into a theater and you forget that you're watching the movie and you get wrapped up with the characters you identify with the characters your heart starts pounding and the emotions start flooding and everything you're not thinking I'm in a movie theater and I'm watching a movie you're right on the screen that's the consciousness and that's a wonderful metaphor for how the mind can forget that it's watching something and get all wrapped up into the personal drama but it's escapism though and they chose to escape and people do it watching soap operas because they want to escape from their own reality which they don't enjoy they'd rather watch somebody else stuffed in there taking care of their own stuff with even escapism because then you can see it's just like a defense and I noticed that early on and I thought I don't want to waste my time going to movies for that purpose I want to be attentive when those emotions are coming up and I really want to process this and really learn to forgive that there's the whole course teaches that what you perceive is what you believe and the second lesson in the book is I have given everything I see that's for me so I would use that when I would go to the movies to say okay I'm choosing this emotional roller coaster ride this movie is not a happy movie that movie didn't make me laugh I'm laughing because of what I'm perceiving that movie didn't depress me or make me sad I'm happy or sad or depressed because of what's going on in my own perception and then it gives you a lot of something to really go at to get down to the roots in your own mind instead of like you said the ego's escapism it loves competition it loves drama, murder, mystery that's what's going on with the reality shows it's not really reality they have a script you're kidding I hate it for your reality and they can't sit at home their own reality so they have to go observe somebody else's reality they don't like their life enough interesting enough so they find interest in other lives that's what they do this was saying we need to film this we're going to film this for a moment let's get a cameraman they do have like what's that girl's name Anna Nicole Smith well now listen the truth is let's show real joy and her real TV real TV real people real TV you know let's show America where the joy really is in truth well that's why I said let's get a camera is that your next manifestation I'm not doing it anymore I'm not doing it anymore I'm not doing it anymore she doesn't even attach to it I'm not I'm just not going to work my mind like that don't ask her about the future I'm accepting my gift that I no longer have to work at salvation that I can just accept it now and be and accept my inheritance and be in joy and be in love and that's it and I don't have to do anything I need to do nothing I need to do nothing but be there's nothing out there and so that is the greatest gift that I have there's nothing out there there's nothing out there there's nothing out there there's a likeman there's anything back there it's all between you well I accept that and the thing I learned one time is a really interesting thing you know the longest journey you'll ever take it's about 18 inches you said to your heart yeah I've heard it you know something we can say all this stuff now that there's no reality and everything I just got through the course of American history a hundred years ago there was no machines I mean there's no cars no TVs, no boxes people want to entertain, they play games they when you look at the stars and all this kind of stuff and one of the problems we have is machines are controlling our lives TV sets, it's actually you know all this stuff computer sets play with me we're all being pulled through these things but we're not creating anymore people are so lonely and they're in these tic-tac-tac boxes in our society we have everything's a box, we live in a house we drive a little boxy car we go to a boxy office and so forth and this breaks the thing we're in a box there's lots of people in this box and it's really different from a lot of people look by themselves in this society and it's so lonely and they watch television all the time it's just you know that gets me to I was going to ask you what he's relating to that you were talking about movies and sitting outside or waiting inside the movie until you can process that what did you get from the Matrix? I just saw this such a beautiful reflection of you are the one and I saw so much reflected in that movie that I had done the movie watchers guide and everything and that was before it even came out and I just thought this is the perfect composite of everything and so what happened about I'd say between 10 and 15 people would contact me and say I'm going to you taking you to the movie the Matrix and I'm going to sit in the back row of the theater and I want you to give me a running commentary on all of this because they sensed it was so rich with symbols that they wanted to get just piece by piece in a two hour and some of our movie just this and that so I would have Christians would come and I would let it come through in a Christian kind of foundation from another thing I would let it come through who each encounter was spontaneous it would just come together to him and years ago I had students they asked one of the students did you see that movie such and such a movie and he said no but I did hear David's description of the movie and it's better than the original because when you really get tuned into your clarity and your discernment then everything is so rich and that's one of them it's extremely rich and I've done gatherings literally around the country where we've had video gatherings on that movie and what it helps to light our mind and the spirit is not to rush and the vision not to gossip and I have someone it's a choice it's a choice because it's a choice and it's about discipline at home discipline at kids


Hello everybody Brian here and today we are going to be going through a how-to on hand-painting balayage. We've got our lovely model Kate here. She is no stranger to balayage so this is actually a really fun thing for me to do because she had it in the past and she was a really big fan of it. You can see there's some that's grown out but my goal here was not only to give her balayage highlights I really wanted to brighten her up a good bit so you'll see that in the before and after. So to get started we've got her sectioned off four standard sections working off the part. It's very important that you have them show you where their part is because that's where it's always going to be when they put it in and you'll see when we get to the front how the lightness effect is really going to work off that part really nicely. So we are doing a full head so we're starting all the way back to the neck taking their horizontal sections but their horizontal sections still kind of follow the round of the head a little bit. I personally am going to be choosing to work side by side as I go up through the back because I want everything to lift pretty evenly. I've chose Palm Mitchell's sinker lift here with a 20 volume for the back two sections and 30 volume for the front two. Actually it takes, this took me about an hour to do so it's pretty set up so I don't want you to think that I just rocketed through this because you really do want to take a lot of care when you do this because it's a service that is really going to showcase what you can do. So for everything below the parietal I'm taking a little bit wider sections because I would like to add lightness back there but I still want the dimension of it being a little bit deeper on the blonde. So to achieve that deeper blonde I'm going to leave more for natural in it. So the sections back here were anywhere from one and a half to two inches wide. I take sections that are about an inch thick because as I hand paint this on I want to make sure that when I press into the hair I'm not pressing all the way through which will cause heat. To apply this I have chosen to hold my brush vertically parallel with the hair. When I've got the product on the tip of my brush I start around mid shaft and sweep in a downward motion but then slowly move up towards the scalp. It's a tip I picked up, it's cool because you want your highlights to be a little bit thicker towards the end and finer as you get up towards the head because the effect of this is going to be a very natural, almost sun lightened kind of effect. I'm taking these sections a little bit wider again like I said because I want her natural to also dance in through there but I'm pinching the sections down at the end having each one come to almost a point. So what this effect is going to do, like I said I want to brighten her overall blonde so that's going to give her a deeper in the root out to that lighter effect so that it looks like the sun really did do this. Again, we're still below the parietal here so we're still taking the wider sections. Just keeping in mind everywhere you put lightener is where there's going to be highlight. So I wanted to be smart about in case she throws her hair in a ponytail what you will see along her hairline because those highlights are going to be right on front street. There's no hiding and this is not like foil work where sometimes you see these and sometimes you see don't. Like I'm working on how her hair is naturally falling so you're going to see every single one of these highlights. Again mid-shaft, slowly working my way up towards the head. I know it's not slow right now because we sped it up but in all actuality you do it slowly enough that you keep control over what you're doing. You don't want lightener flying everywhere. I always get a lot of questions about the consistency of the lightener I like to work with. For something like this I like to make sure that it is creamy but not too loose. You know you want it to be able to brush swiftly and smoothly but not so much that it's going to seep everywhere and start to bleed. There's a good shot where you can see just we want to slowly work it so that the highlight gets smaller as it gets closer to the scalp because you want control here. I chose to use the Syncrelift from Paul Mitchell on this one because it's a lightener that doesn't swell. I think that's probably one of the most important things. If you are working with lighteners that have a tendency to swell up as they develop then that's where you're going to lose that control and it's going to start to puff up and bleed onto hair that you want lighten to begin with and then you've sort of lost that that seamless possible sun lightened effect in the hair. So once I get down towards the end it really just starts to just to encompass the entire section that I'm holding in my hand. Feathered on at the root and then once those two lines start to come together and that pinch section is when I go ahead and just paint it right through the end. Now that we're above the parietal we're taking much smaller sections. I like to work in sections that are about an inch wide because with you doing those V-shaped sections I guess you could call them. You got to remember if these two inch wide sections are next to each other there are going to be two highlights sitting next to each other. So you're going to have a really nice blend of the new lightened hair with her natural coming through it as well. One of the reasons you want to switch to smaller sections once you get above the parietal is because in a natural sun lightened effect the hair that's on the top of the head is going to be the lightest. If you need a good point of reference think of a small child when you see your clients point at a little girl and say I want highlights like that. Why can't I have hair like that? Well because it's been naturally done by the sun because kids play outside all day and they have that nice fine hair that naturally lightens. So we're just going to create that look whenever somebody wants it now. So as we move into the top the sections get smaller because that makes the blonde more concentrated. The very top of the head might be a smaller section that you can't really get the V shape on. You want to just make sure that you don't just leave it out. Brush the highlights on right here around the face is a perfect example because Kate like so many others has finer hair that never really fully matured into thick hair. So I don't want to leave it out because that'll just leave it dark. So I'm just going to pull that piece out understand that where I visually put that is where that highlights going to be and then just paint it on that where possible. There's that. Hi Thad. Where possible I still do the V shape sections but then when I get to the smaller little baby hairs around the face I just go ahead and freehand highlight those. I get a lot of questions about can you put something in between these sections. Yes you can. I haven't done it yet because I haven't yet had the need to. I think it's partially the size of the sections that I'm taking and the fact if you notice the sections being held out at some odd degrees I've never been really good about it that 45 degrees or 63 degrees kind of but I'm holding the hair out from the head so that I'm not pressing down with the new section onto hair that I've already liked. You see I've got her head tilted a little bit as I move through the top because I want to make sure I'm not pressing down on anything beneath it. Again that's also why it's very important to make sure that you don't have a lightener that swells. Not that they're not good lighteners it just might not be the best one for this technique. Also since this video I learned a very valuable lesson. Now when I do this on my left hand I wear a rubber glove that I cut the fingers off of so that I could use the back of my hand as almost like a highlighting board. I never worked with a highlighting board. I might like it. I've just never used one so if anyone wants to send me one I'll try it but I I got a tip actually from YouTube somebody said try using the back of your hands so you don't have to wipe on a towel in between every single section because that does take time and the back of the hand tricks great especially when you put a glove on because then you never have to wipe it off because it never stings but it does it does cut out a lot of time not having to wipe your hands off every section because you really need to make sure that you're working with very clean hands because you're working in exposed hair here so if you have lightener all over your hands and go to touch another section then you're not in control of where that lightener is going. As you see here now that I'm working on hair that is directly around her face this is on some people what would be their fringe for her she keeps it longer but this is that hair that she's gonna see every single day when she looks in the mirror. So you really want to work and make sure that all the way around the face you keep it nice and light you can see the highlights they're getting you know a little bit thicker a little stronger and now that I'm on the part that's where you really want to focus because the part is always going to be seen that's why I said you want them to put their own part in there because you want to know exactly where that's going to be because unlike foil work we're gonna match up the highlights on either side of her part to make sure that they come pretty close to connecting because unlike foil work this is not as strong of a banded effect of lightening it's much more of a general area of lightning that you get from the hand painting so having it match up on either side of the part gives it more of a natural all-over-blonde look so that's where you want to make just take special care to make sure that you've got really precise sharp lines following that part and you see we're now approaching that last piece of fringe at the part so I want to make sure that that above all else has a really good strong light effect to it I've had people ask me why not just go ahead and lighten that whole section well the reason I don't want to lighten that whole section is because we've all had those clients that come into you and you've sat there and you've lightened them just as far as you could possibly get them they're a level 11 and a half white blonde and they say make me blonde well you sit there and you think to yourself how do I do that the best way to make someone look blonder is to give them some kind of contrast up against it that's why no matter how blonde someone is whatever their natural grows in there we say they have black roots you know they don't actually grow black hair it just looks darker because it's up against light so having this natural base of hers come through the blonde that I'm doing is going to make the blonde look blonder and then give her a very natural no maintenance low light as well I don't know if I mentioned it yet so I'll mention it again I did use a 20 volume developer in the back and a 30 volume up front because I want all of this to process evenly otherwise if I'd use 20 all the way through by the time the front was ready to come down the back would be significantly lighter and that's not really a natural effect so here you can see I'm trying to match up the highlights that I've got because I'm starting with each of these sections and I'm showing a little bit more of her part so as I'm pulling these I see where the highlight is on the other side and I try to match it up there's a good highlight right there and bring it as close as I can get it to the room it'll give a really cool dimensional effect that you'll see here in just a second on the weaker side of the part I did make my highlights a little bit stronger because I want to try to keep her evenly blonde so here you go there was no actual processing time on this I just watched it until it got to the blondness that I wanted her to be so you see she she has she was blonde before but now she's really got a blonde worth stopping traffic for and she was very happy I've seen her several times since then she still loves it and so do I so now we've got a new Bolliage converted client so thank you guys very much if you have any questions please post at the bottom of our video or on our Facebook and we'll be seeing you soon thanks bye


I'm Tim Appichell, your host, and today's title is Dump Maga, work with the Democrats. Here we go again. We've got the clown show going on in the House of Representatives. 21 brave souls of the GOP decided yesterday that they were not going to cast a vote for the proposed speaker of the House, Jim Jordan. 21 brave souls says enough's enough. And but the bad news is that means about 90% of the GOP in the House of Representatives weren't brave enough to say no to Jim Jordan. So I understand tomorrow, Jim Jordan will give it another crack at it. And he'll, we'll see if he prevails. So down in votes from the previous day. That's not good. I think the count was 199 votes for speaker of the House for Jim Jordan and I believe you need 217. So, he's failing miserably, and that's a good thing for America. Let's talk about this topic with me is my, my esteemed and always dependable co host, Jay Fidel. Hey, Jay, good morning. Morning, Jim. The show continues as we sometimes refer to it. Jim Jordan has been voted down yet again and he's going to give another whack tomorrow. Your thoughts about Jim Jordan and certainly an obstructionist in Congress. And now he thinks he's eligible for the speaker of the House position, your thoughts. His actions against his life experience at coaching wrestling qualifies him to be the third in line for the presidency. That is as scary as it gets, because everything he's done in Congress or putting it another way, nothing he's done in Congress doesn't qualify him for anything. He is simply unqualified. His only claim is that he's a trumpet. In fact, he's as close to Trump as anyone. And furthermore, he was involved in the insurrection. He, he skirted the questions when they asked him whether he had been on the phone with Trump on January 6, but the fact is the phone record showed that he spent plenty of time before the insurrection on the phone with Trump. That was part of the planning team that planned the insurrection. The other thing is that he voted, he voted against confirming the ballots.  Unbelievable. This guy would be the speaker of the house.  And they are destroying the country if they vote for him. It's not, it's not simple. It's not insubstantial. So I hope that they realize that, you know, this is really important and anyone who votes for him is voting for Trump, which is really an awful sort. One thing in terms of the clown thing, I remember when I was a kid, my father used to take me to the Ringling Brothers Bottom and Bailey Circus in Madison Square Garden on 34th Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. And one of the fun things that we always looked for was the clown car. We drove a car somewhere into the, you know, the rings of the Ringling Brothers Bottom and Bailey Circus. And the door, any little car, the smallest car you ever saw. And the door would open and the clowns would start getting out. And I swear, it must have had 217 clowns in that car because they kept on coming out. The exact number needed for the vote. Anyway, I mean, this is really a test of not only the GOP, not only, you know, Jordan, not only, and if he gets to be Speaker of the House, we are all in deep kimchi. I hope they see that the problem. May I tell you the problem? Who else, you know, what are the other possibilities? There are no Republican possibilities, only a Democrat possibility, and a lot of Republicans. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me let me interrupt you on that point. Are you saying now the 21 brave souls that said no to Jim Jordan. There can't, there is not one of them that would be considered an old fashioned GOP that's conservative for sure, but believes in the rule of law and believes in the continuation of Republic and believes in the defense of the Constitution. Are you saying there's no one in Congress, or excuse me, the House of Representatives that qualifies for that? I'm saying, and this goes to our pre-show conversation about the media. If there is somebody among that group, do we know him? Has the media spoke of him? Has the media elevated him and extolled his virtues or even discussed his virtues? Answer no. So what you have is day after day after day, the grind is all about, you know, Jim Jordan, spell his name right. It is not about any other living GOP. They may be somebody out there, but it's theoretical. After all, there are 330 million people in this country, and the press hasn't mentioned anybody as a competitor to Jim Jordan right now. This troubles me greatly because it is another failure of the media that they don't give you other options, other possibilities, other qualified individuals. So then you have to go look at a Democrat, and, you know, a lot of Republicans, even in their most enlightened moments, are not going to vote for a Democrat, especially in black. That would be the end of their political career. But let's look at the second half of this title of the show. The first half was Dump Mega. Mega meaning the Freedom Caucus of the House of Representatives, the Jim Jordan's, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, you know, the Wackledoodles of the Freedom Caucus. The second part of the title is work with Democrats. What's to prevent a viable candidate who thinks he'd be a good, he or she may be a good speaker of the House to knock on the door of the Democrats and say, look, how long have we not got anything done because we're completely polarized? And what would it take for you to vote for me to be speaker of the House, not to say that you get what you want from me, but to say that we'll cooperate, we'll negotiate. We'll do what Tip O'Neill and President Reagan used to do, and that is sit down, maybe have an Irish whiskey or two, and discuss matters of the day discuss difficult policies, difficult positions of policy, a particular bill that needs to be passed for the entire country, but you know politics gets in the way. What's to prevent someone from approaching the Democrats to say, let's get back to those days. Nothing, nothing except, you know, the vengeance thing that comes out of Donald Trump, those midnight calls, those threats of retribution, those threats of primarying that person later. He probably keeps them in line. He's the wit. And, you know, yes, logical possibility, what you describe is, is what should happen put sort of 1000% for sure. It's a noble thought, but Trump stands directly in front of that and will do everything he can to stop that. After all, he's looking for chaos. Trump serves him. And if he can maintain the chaos, he can maintain his own political strengths, such as it is. But I agree with you totally. A moderate Republican comes around talks to the Democrats, will you vote for me, I will give you a fair shake, I will be moderate in office, I will serve the people.  And frankly, I think the Democrats would warm to that. They would love to see a little resolution here after all Congress is doing anything. Well, let me let me hit on that point. Maybe they wouldn't love that and here's why I mean, if Jim Jordan is elected speaker of the House, that all but guarantees, I think that the House falls with the Democrats in 2024. Are they looking down the road as a strategy or would it be better just to say, yeah, let's, let's both look good in Congress and get some bills passed, particularly funding for Ukraine, particularly funding for Israel, particularly the the crisis at the border pertaining to immigration. It would serve both parties well to get a reasonable speaker of the House on the GOP side now and tomorrow. Yeah, the GOP would look good if that happened and maybe with the Democrats actually. So the Democrats, they, they, you know, for my money, they look really good now because they're the constructive ones that would like to resolve the crisis. And I think a lot of people know that. So that even if there was, you know, bilateralism going, going forward because of the scenario that you described, I don't think would really hurt the Democrats that would help. It would help the Republicans but this is not a win-lose game. This is a win for the country game. And I think people like Jamie Raskin, you know, the leaders have spoken from the Democrats side and they've made it clear that they, they want to see the country served. They want to see the country benefit. They want to see some public policy resolution of the issues. Right now, the Republicans have made it clear they couldn't give a rip about those things. If they show that they cared even a little bit, they benefit. But that doesn't change the scenario in an election time, I don't think. Before the show, you and I chatted a bit and I asked the question, do you think Donald Trump's been busy with his late night calls to certain GOPs to force and intimidate those GOP representatives to ram down Jim Jordan down their votes because, remember, Donald Trump endorsed him. This, this failure for Jim Jordan to become Speaker of the House is also a reflection on the failing influence of Donald Trump. Has Donald Trump been busy during the night with these late night calls to certain representatives? Do you think? Yeah, I do. I think he's worked very hard to put Jordan in an office and he's failed to put Jordan in that office. But, you know, KS also serves him, as I mentioned, and if he can keep someone moderate out of that office, it also benefits him. So, you know, either way, it's something he would want. But let me say that I believe that Trump does make midnight calls. And, or he has his proxies make midnight calls and they're threatening calls. They are threatening it on a political level. You know, I will primary you. I will give money to your opposition. I will find some cockamami opponent for you and push him and try to keep you get you out of office next time around. And I think a lot of them believe that because they really want to hold onto the office and the perks and the salary and all that stuff that goes along with being in Congress. They shouldn't, but they do. The other aspect of it is that part of Trump's program is to intimidate people. Now, it's only my personal reaction. But Michael Cohen was supposed to testify today in the civil trial in Manhattan. You know, and in show up, said he was couldn't show up because of quote health problems and quote, he's not there to testify. He's one of the most articulate voices, one of the most powerful witnesses against Trump. He's not there after appearing on television how many times. He's not there. And maybe I'm just maybe I'm slightly, you know, over concerned about this but I do think there's a chance that Trump did something to keep him out of that courtroom. You know, for all Trump, you know, goes around in public and in private, trying to contaminate juries and grand juries, trying to scare the prosecutors and scare the judge.  And I know he's going to do it in every case to him at every case, where he's at risk, you know that he's going to do it. Midnight telephone calls, what have you. What is also very troubling about this is that other people, equally smart and pathological will do the same. It undermines our justice system in general, you will see people take these cockamamie positions. You will see people make these crazy threats, or have others make threats. This is already becoming normal. I just mentioned one other thing and that is that, you know, we have a fair amount of controversy going on about gerrymandering around the country. And there are a number of states that did horrible gerrymandering unfair should be turned over. I mean, reversed. But all the Republicans who were involved in that gerrymandering are taking the same position. They're coordinating your position. You can't, they don't want to do discovery with you. They don't want to talk about it on the claim that it is somehow privileged, which is, you know, crazy defense, but they're all coordinated. And that's what troubles me this coordination thing, among the Republicans, they take these positions, they coordinate, and they stand by these positions. And they do it on every level. Does that sound like Trump? Well, obstruction is Trump's middle name. Yeah, it does sound like Trump. Clearly, Trump is still in charge of the party. After the 2022 election, we thought and we said on this show that Trump's influence is waning that he'll just disappear into the middle of the night. Not happy to announce, but I was wrong. And that proclamation was wrong. Trump is as strong as ever, perhaps, given his poll numbers. Now again, a lot of people don't believe in poll numbers, but I think to a certain degree those poll numbers are are valid and exist. What's Trump's influence on the party other than trying to browbeat 21 GOP representatives. Is it the subcastic talk? Is it direct phone calls? Where's Trump's influence? How is it being applied in today's political environment? It's all of the forgoing. It's intimidation, it's public statements intended to contaminate. It's public statements intended to contaminate juries and judges and prosecutors and witnesses, of course. It's everything and anything. He's got a playbook of all these things. And it's hard to catch it because if he doesn't, if he's not able to do one of these things, then the other. So I think, you know, you have to watch him carefully and the judges could be watching him carefully and they should be taking, you know, direct steps against him. Judge Shetkin gave him this very limited gag order. I'm not sure what's going to happen. You know he's going to violate it. And what is she going to do then? If it was me, I'd put him in jail the first time he violated it. And I would have made a much broader gag order too, by the way. But one thing you said I want to, I want to just comment on. Yes, he still is running the Republican Party despite the indictments and the 91 counts against him felony counts. Despite all that he's still running the party and those people out there, they're running on empty tanks, they continue to support him, whatever he says, and whatever trouble he gets into, and whatever outrageous things come out about him. You know, he's effectively running a in house insurrection. The other one was the insurrection from outside. This one is from inside with guys like Jim Jordan. They're running an insurrection in Congress and Jordan is the leader of that insurrection. But about Trump, I want to say I see him, but give me this as a kind of pimple. He's a pimple. And it's not so much that he still has control of the Republican Party is that his control is perhaps fragile. And one day between now and November, something is going to happen, my view, to break the pimple all over the mirror, so to speak. And he is going to fall and fail.  So, okay. Okay, so let's talk about the resistance. We have 21 GOP representatives that said no, not now no, no way. They may have been the recipient of a midnight call from Donald Trump they may not have. What do we say about the resistance in the house right now to say Trump's golden boy is not our choice. He's working hard. Trump be damned we don't we don't care what Trump says. Is that an indication that Trump's influence may be waning. That's a powerful extraction of the of Donald Trump but slowly, you know, the air is escaping from the Donald Trump balloon. Yeah, I think it is. I think otherwise he would have had Jim Jordan in office already doesn't. And, you know, I hope it stays this way but it looks like is it influence among the GOP is declining. And the question is, where does this will go, you know, because look what happened with Kevin McCarthy. I mean 15 votes, and he kept he kept sticking to it, the way Jordan keeps sticking to it. And, ultimately, they put a lack of a viable alternative. They elected Kevin McCarthy. Again, an obvious Trump or we have photographs, you know, you know, indicating that for sure. This could happen again. If Trump tells Jordan, keep on keeping on. Don't, don't hesitate. You just push this. Well, I tell you not to.  Jordan could get to be the leader and as I mentioned earlier and as you and I have discussed is if the media doesn't provide another person as a viable alternative, not only to the members of Congress and the GOP who might be more reasonable, but to the public to the world. You know, Jordan stands a better chance because there's no other name in the circle. Why the media has to look more carefully. Well, let me think and you name somebody. Well, no, not really, because you're right, no, no real name is floated to the top. I suppose you could argue that Steve Scalise missed the speakership by about four votes. You may well see him take another crack at it. We have the pro tem Patrick McHenry.  And remember, you don't have to be a representative of the house in order to be the speaker of the house. Now, in the case of Donald Trump, I think there's an existing rule that if you're indicted criminally indicted and that term of the indictments could equal 15 years or greater. If you're prevented from being nominated as a speaker of the house. That might be a GOP rule. And maybe they'll change it and say, gee, Donald, won't you be our speaker. Donald Trump has always suggested that he would do it to quote unquote, help out. What's what's the plausibility of that, Jay. You think Donald Trump would like to be speaker. You know, if the number of votes for Jordan is declining, it's hard to believe that Trump could get in there, even if there were no rule, you know, prohibiting that, aside from the section three of the 14th amendment, which is another, you know, and there are those who would argue that being speaker of the house is not an officer of the United States and I say to them Wow, my understanding of English is way different. My understanding of English may be way different than the Supreme Court. Well, you take an oath to office. When you're an officer or not, you take the same oath and that's the oath you're required to live by. I don't think he's going to get the votes, although I think that's what he'd like to see. Let's can we go back to Scalise for a minute. Whatever happened to him, he seemed to be the front runner. He had it, I thought. And all of a sudden, he withdraws. Was that a midnight call? What was going on there? Very good. Well, could be. Now, remember Steve Scalise had another of the skeletons in his closet and one was some degree of association with David Duke. For the audience that doesn't know who David Duke is. He is the former head of the Klu Klux Klan. There was some, you know, some interactions between Steve Scalise and David Duke. I think that settled down and hasn't been talked about. Not nearly as much as the association of Jim Jordan covering up allegations of pedophilia from the team doctor. Remember, Jim Jordan was an assistant assistant coach for the University of Michigan, and many players, many wrestlers came to Jim Jordan pleading for him to do something. He did nothing and now he claims he was never approached by those wrestlers. Those wrestlers have gone on on the record and depositions and under oath that that's, yes, he was approached. He was told of the situation and he chose to do nothing about it. So there's another little star and gold star and Jim Jordan's cap that he was very permissive is allowing these sort of things to happen and like a worm. He did nothing. Assistant coach. I'm sorry to qualify him for the third highest office in the land. Assistant coach of wrestling I'm sorry that's crazy. But what about, you know, what about having a Democrat in there what do you think the possibilities are. What took you so long to answer that. I don't know. But hey, what about Liz Cheney.  Look at her as a true patriot of the country trying to preserve the Constitution and the Republic. I'm pretty sure they would vote for if given the opportunity. What about Liz. I agree with you that Democrats would vote for her she presented very well in the select committee hearings. He was excellent in trying to reach the truth and being fair minded, you know what you only need then five GOP votes or four or five GOP votes to get to the 217. Well, she needed a lot of GOP votes that's the problem and I think she's been damaged. And Trump damaged her.  And exactly.  And all of a sudden, you know, the political career that individuals is radioactive and damaged like forever. And so I don't think she's going to be able to get a whole lot of Republican votes, although I would vote for her if I was a Republican or a Democrat. Well, again, you got 21 that said no, we don't like Jim George brand of obstructionism. We don't like the fact he was on the ground floor of the January 6 insurrection. We don't like the fact that he's not qualified. He's never brought a bill before the floor. The fact that he covers up pedophilia. So if you're one of the 21 maybe say, you know what Liz is an honorable Liz Cheney is an honorable Congress person. And why not. Yeah, so 21 plus a lot of Democrats is what you're saying, you get to 17. You would have to convince Hakeem Jeffries that that's someone he and the rest of the Congress could work with as far as not controlling but certainly, like I said between Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan, sit down and pragmatically look at issues and policies and move things forward so the country benefits. Yes, and I wanted to suggest that to you know it. I thought in preparation for this discussion that would be nice if we could have two of them serve you know that's not impossible. They could both be co speakers like, you know, working together. I didn't know that was possible. Well legally it's not possible. Right. Nobody would agree to that, although what you said a minute ago is where I come out on it is, you could have a deal with a Republican, I mean, a moderate Republican speaker. And then that speaker would collaborate, collaborate with the Democrats and specifically with Jeffries. And they could work together even though the the office would be held by the Republican did the deal for the Democrats to vote for this person would be we want you to act in a bilateral bipartisan way. And then you have to talk to Jeffries or whoever it is. Before you make decisions and advice and consultation would have you some kind of arrangement when they work together even though, even though only the Republican is the speaker. To me that's that's an agreement that should be made. If Democrats are going to vote for a moderate. Yes, what we've run out of time but let me ask you this before we depart. Would that break Trump fever that kind of cooperation. Yes. If we could demonstrate to to Congress and the world and especially to the, the MAGA Republicans and the base that bipartisanship actually works. You can fund the government. You can get by all this negativism and, and you can solve problems, including some really pressing problems like right now like Ukraine and Israel. Then, you know, maybe that's a lesson to all of us. And it would restore confidence in a great number of people around the country, and in various sectors of the political, you know, the political landscape that maybe this cause for optimism, maybe this cause for, you know, a return to the old way of democracy and collaboration. That would be a wonderful thing if that happened and, and maybe we are there at that point but let me ask you a final question though. What do you think is going to happen here. I think you're going to see a movement to install Patrick McHenry. Or, you know, some slight bargain with the Democrats to allow this to continue on and give them some authoritative powers that we can pass funding bills. That's coming up here in the next three weeks or so to pass funding bills for Ukraine and Israel, Taiwan. So the people's business needs to get done. And right now it's not getting done and the clown car of the geo stalled in the center of the ring, Barton Bailey's circus ring. It's stuck and all the spotlights are on it and people are going, what kind of nation is this. And it's an it's an international embarrassment, if not a national embarrassment. And he uses the mechanics, you know, the devil is in the details so Patrick McHenry takes this because he's kind of like the vanilla guy. He's the Gerald Ford of the House of Representatives. Right. And so there's a positive side of that is the vanilla guy can go to the votes because he hasn't offended a whole lot of people, but the other side of it is that maybe he is vulnerable. Maybe he's vulnerable to the freedom caucus into the midnight call and to threats by Trump and his acolytes. And that that is a concern. So whoever it is has to be strong enough to resist that we read whether McHenry is strong enough. All right, Jay, have any last thoughts before we move on. And I'm feeling a lot better that Joe Biden in his investigation of what happened in in the hospital in Gaza has agreed with the Israelis analysis. That was a real, that was awful. And it would have been much more awful if the press had continued in its reporting that it was all the fault of the Israelis. I'm happy to say that that was debunked and the work of the media to gee whiz to make it make make make falsity the truth that is to blame the Israelis for what happened. I'm happy to say that was debunked but the lesson is that we don't, we don't make falsity out of truths and truth out of falsity here in sync deck and you don't and I sure try to avoid that too. And I'm very concerned about MSNBC and CNN and for that matter BBC and for that matter all the stuff gets on social media that the world is getting disinformation like crazy these days. And we have to be very mindful of that. Alrighty. We're out of time Jay thank you very much for co hosting this show and offering your thoughts and great suggestions. Won't you join us next week for American issues take one. I'll tell your host and until then. Aloha.


it's Daria here and today I'm going to be talking to you guys about 12 disturbing sleep disorders. Oftentimes we get so caught up in our daily routine we forget to let our bodies recharge and regenerate. What if even in the land of REM we still get disturbed and don't get enough rest? While common disorders such as insomnia is so common to us, there are more severe and strange sleep disorders that people have. So listen on if you want to know more. Number one, REM behavior disorder. When the body is in REM, brain releases a series of commands that allows the body to be paralyzed so as to prevent any sudden movement where the person might be in danger. Number two, sleepwalking. This by far is one of the most well-known parasomnias and is characterized with individuals getting up and walking around while in deep sleep and more often than not having no recollection of getting out of bed. Number three, sexomnia. When a person has sexomnia, the person does sexual acts while sleeping. The acts might vary from masturbation to full intercourse and like most sufferers of parasomnia they do not remember what they were doing prior to waking up. Number four, nocturnal eating disorder. This is another interesting parasomnia where people are eating while sleeping. The people who suffer from this go on binge eating at night only to wake up the next morning with no recollection of the little midnight snack they had. Number five, night terrors. Night terrors are characterized by intense reactions to nightmares most common in children and will cause intense fear that will make someone almost inconsolable. Number six, narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is an inability to regulate sleep wake cycles normally. Number seven, exploding head syndrome. During the onset of deep sleep, the person is suddenly startled awake by a loud noise or sharp noise. Number eight, sleepy hallucinations. This occurs during the transition from wakefulness to sleep just after our heads hit the pillow. The hallucinations hit during the wakeup process. Number nine, sleep paralysis. This happens during REM sleep. We have temporary paralysis but will be gone once the body is aroused when awake. But with sleep paralysis you can't move your body even when you're already conscious. Number 10, sleep apnea. This is characterized by the shortness of breath when a person falls asleep. This can cause irregular heart rate, lack of oxygen and even death. Number 11, clean leaven syndrome. This disorder is characterized by a person sleeping up to 23 hours a day for three weeks in a row. It affects young males at the round age of 15 with symptoms prevailing up to eight years longer for women. And number 12, lastly, fatal familiar insomnia. It's odd how some people don't sleep. This condition begins innocently when a person can't fall asleep one night and would escalate to a person not being able to fall asleep for months. Insomnia itself isn't the main problem but the side effects that come with it. Well that's it for this video. Thank you guys so much for watching.

Hello everyone welcome to the OpenShift release and roadmap update. I'm set on 2023 edition. My name is Vanessa Martini I am an observability product manager at Red Hat working in OpenShift and this is my colleague. Hi, I'm Naina Singh And I'm all the product manager in the OpenShift view Welcome to the session Great. So let's take a look at the agenda for today. First, we will talk about our strategy the Red Hat to open every cloud Second we will deep dive into our core values open source and partnerships being at the heart of what we do After that we will talk about our vision and priorities as we work towards consolidating our multicluster platform As a user no matter how many clusters you decide to deploy you have the opportunity to zoom in individual clusters and zoom out So stay tuned for the road map around observability and our multicluster layer OpenShift platform plus And then we will wrap up the presentation with a sneak peek into the near future So as many of you might already already know OpenShift is comprised by so many different components and services that include and make up the experience We have grouped them here in four main areas Which are telco and edge managed services core platform and developer tools as well as every cloud experience and OpenShift platform plus So if you want to hear more about some key highlights across all these different four areas stay tuned also But let's get started with our strategy and how we can help you optimize the scope of your IT organization But first thing first a few words about OpenShift Red Hat OpenShift is a unified platform powered by Kubernetes that wants to help you build modernized deploy applications at scale As of today you can consume Red Hat OpenShift on any of the public cloud as well as on a self-managed basis Giving you the flexibility you need to run and manage applications everywhere without the need for rebuilding them So with our open every cloud strategy we plan to tackle three main areas which are provided in this slide Platform consistency unified experience and security everywhere. What do we mean with these terms? We want you to be able to have a plot a consistent plan platform experience no matter if you choose the cloud or the edge So on any footprint We also want you to have a unified experience no matter your role within your organization No matter if you have if you are a data scientist machine learning engineer Data engineer or part of the DevOps team the experience is uniform unified and lastly security everywhere We want you to be able to run your application securely from the conception to the production phase Accounting for both internal and industry standards So with this information in mind, let's now take a closer look to the actual at the open every cloud platform our strategy and its components So at the heart of the experience We have the OCP the open-shift container platform Which is Redats distribution of Kubernetes bit on top of the red at the Enterprise Linux coro s The platform provides you with the opportunity to have automated upgrades and installations on a variety of footprints But on top of this you can also benefit from different services platform services application services developer and data services that all help you Easily or like reducing the complexity of managing around your applications At the same time we're also aware that customers needs have been evolving over time Enterprise need more and more to accelerate and scale the deployment the development the management of their applications And at the same time managing security compliance costs and that's where open shift platform plus comes into play As you can see from the top of the side Open-shift platform plus is comprised by the open-shift container platform OCP But the data advanced cluster management ACM read that advanced clusters cluster security ACS Quay as our registry and open-shift data foundation ODF So all these five when integrated allow you to address multi-cluster security multi-cluster data management multi-cluster application compliance and governance Allowing you to easily manage then increasing number of clusters also multiple environment So you can see OPP open-shift platform plus as a unified platform where you can manage or and address all your registry needs Data management needs security risks under one roof So and with this information in mind, let's now take a closer look at our values. So over to you, Naina Thank you, Vanessa. So red hat open shift enables open hybrid cloud with open source and partnerships at heart At red hat. We don't don't just follow the crowd. We lead it. That's why everything in red hat and open shift Is done upstream first because we believe that open communities drive innovation and it's been our culture's corpillers since day one With open shift and its various offerings We have got all the bells and whistles that you need to build test deploy Your applications and plus all these features are an upstream project So, you know, you are getting the best of the best We would like to give a shout out to all your contributors out there. You are the real rock stars At open shift, we believe in the power of partnerships That's why we have built a thriving ecosystem of partners who help us provide customers With the flexibility they need one of the ways we do this is through the red hat marketplace Which simplifies the entire process of trying buying deploying and updating and paying for ISV services It's like having your own personal shopping experience for enterprise software But we are not stopping there. We are constantly expanding our list of partners across a range of categories from ML AI ML to observability from security To data services to hope that all your unique needs could be fulfilled by our partners We are thrilled to have such a diverse range of customers using open shift to power their businesses As you can see from the logos on this slide, we work with companies of all sizes and across a variety of industries Thank you so much for putting your trust in us So where are we taking open shift open hybrid cloud you may ask we are taking it toward a highly Observable flexible and secure multi-cluster platform Our vision is centered around consolidating our service centric solutions around the hybrid and multi-cloud With the ultimate goal of providing services on the distributed edge In short our vision is all about putting our customers first and providing them with the tools and services They need to succeed in today's ever-changing technology landscape The current wave of digital transformation across all industries has led to a significant increase in the deployment of course and Clusters and as a result customers have rapidly evolving needs To meet these changing needs We have been working hard on our fleet multi-cluster experience This means providing customers with a single highly observable hybrid cloud Platform that enables them to securely build deploy Observable Security build deploy and run and manage applications at scale whether you are just managing one cluster and dozens of cluster Our goal is to provide a seamless experience with all the tools you need To need to get the job done So what do we mean by you can quickly identify and resolve issues while also gaining insights into your overall infrastructure as Vanessa was saying Because now you can both zoom out for multi-cluster view and zoom in for individual cluster view And how do we do this? That I'll hand it over to Vanessa Thank you, Nina So let's deep dive on the value of observability to consolidate your in-cluster experience But first thing I would like to define what we mean with observability here Observability is about correlating the resources so that you can answer any questions You might have about your running system assisting you in resolving issues within your system But also optimizing it and that's where open shift observability becomes an asset Open shift observability aims at turning your data into answers So we're putting more and more equal emphasis on the so-called five pillars of open shift observability Data collection data storage data delivery data visualization and data analytics What can you do with open shift observability today? You can collect metrics with prometheus locks with vector traces with open telemetry You can also store metrics with prometheus and tannos locks with to lock hand traces with yeager and elastic search The data delivery piece is very fundamental in our experience Why because we want you to be able to access the observability signals you need when you need them No matter if it's aggregated data historical data real-time data The data is readily available for your further exploration And after the data delivery pillar is where visualization and analytics come into play So what can you do in terms of visualization today? You can access our out-of-the-box experience and full support in the open shift web console We have an observed section where you can perform some data analytics tasks Searching filtering querying but also visualizing metrics metrics targets and logs So this experience is available in both developer and admin perspectives of the open shift web console So based on this information, what does the roadmap look like for 2023 and beyond around the open shift observability? So we have three key roadmap teams here one of them being decreasing the mean time to detection and resolution for our open shift users So around that we have a key core initiative Which is about providing a correlation experience to you when I mean correlation I talk about correlation across observability signals Meaning you will be able to jump from one signal to another in few clicks for instance Study from an alert going to the equivalent log to the equivalent Metrics so that you can reduce the time you spend troubleshooting individual clusters So we plan to provide this experience within our open shift web console So that you can easily visualize the relationships between this signal stay tuned for that The second roadmap team that we have is to provide you with a unified and simplified Observability experience across any footprint cloud edge on premises and we have a series of initiatives around that I've mentioned here three specifically So one of them is providing you with a distributed tracing UI so that you can explore and visualize traces directly in the open shift web console That's our missing third observability pillar in terms of visualization experience. So we are fulfilling this gap Second, we're also working towards improving and answering the current dashboard UI experience in the Open Sheet web console So we want to gradually enable different data sources and also plan on announcing different functionalities to Give you more freedom on what you want to see and how you want to filter it And lastly, we're working to simplify our data collection experience So we're working on our observability operator so that you can adjust what exactly you want to collect Also, stay tuned for that. It's a very cool feature And lastly our third Observability roadmap team is about increasing flexibility This is a high level objective that we have because we are aware of the importance of third-party integration But also to fulfill all of your user needs here So we continue to provide support for additional log forwarders with logging 5.7 coming up soon You will be able to have support for syslog, but also HTTP targets coming soon We're also looking into multi cluster logging as we have heard the customer needs the importance of looking at your whole fleet also from a logging perspective So when mentioning and talking about observability, I cannot not mention network observability Which went with OpenSheet 4.12 and it's available for any supported versions of OpenSheet 4.10 or newer So network observability is an optional operator that fits very well into the greater ecosystem Of observability that I've just talked about with logs metrics and traces Network observability uses a eBPF agent to collect metrics on cluster nodes and answer different questions As you can see here from the six pillars of network observability So pretty much what we can say here is that network observability allows you to gain insets around your network traffic But also it enables network capacity planning It helps you troubleshooting networking issues But also identify security issues in cooperation with the advanced cluster security And also provides visibility on traffic flows. We have a brand new feature into our network traffic UI That allows you to view our topology view to exactly visualize those flows So what does the journey ahead look like for network observability? So as you can see from the slide We find a recording team that we've seen with OpenSheet observability Which is learning more and more out of the data as you can see from stage three and four The goal of the team is to learn from data. So starting identifying unknown issues with AI But also suggest you with action items as well as provide you with a feedback loop. So going Beyond observability as stages for highlights So it's a long journey ahead However, the team is already working on a bunch of initiatives around this objective I would like to mention two one of them is multicluster observability Second provide more and more metrics and dashboards both in the midterm and long term For instance in the long term the team plans to work on simplified views to help you answer Cluster connectivity queries in a more intuitive way But also in the long term the team plans to provide host interface metrics, which are key for telco And lastly, I would like to wrap up the observability section by mentioning redact insets for OpenShift So redact insets for OpenShift is available for both OpenShift managed and on-premises customers It is included within the option subscription as part of the console services And you can answer so many different questions as you can see from the slide business questions operations questions security questions For example insets cost management allow you to better track your cost to have visibility Making sure that your cost do not go unchecked providing you with a visible overview of the cost of running OpenShift Insets advisor instead is the heart of operations to improve your operational stability and performance the heart of the insets advisor is recommendations With the recommendations that are based on both OpenShift infrastructure and service layers So that you can also have a proposed solution to your issue But at the same time understanding how many clusters are affected by that recommendations The type of risk whether it's an important to moderate risk. So a very cool feature So let's deep dive now into the roadmap around redact insets for OpenShift We have two key roadmap teams here one of them being expanding insets cost management Transforming it from a reporting tool into a recommendation tool and around that we have four key initiatives that I would like to highlight First being in q2 this year the team plus to provide a preview of resource optimization for OpenShift So you will be able to access recommendation for cluster sizes, but also best sized pots Very cool Second also, you will be able to attribute additional costs such as gpu storage Networking because it's important to say that of course we have the computing cost and also cost related to hyper scale Marketplace services, but when on the cloud there are additional costs that need to be tracked and those are very key for that We also have a new initiative cost model 2.0 that the team plans to Also release to simplify the creation of custom models for you But also to add new cost and distribution types new categories that's planned for q3 plus this year And lastly sustainability the team plans to provide a release of The possibility to you to assess the environmental cost of your workload with co2 Reporting so considering that sustainability has been a hot topic for quite some time now and it's becoming more and more important Lastly second roadmap team that we have is provide and focus on intelligence guidance and remediation So we have three initiatives around this objective two in regards to the insets advisor that have just described with recommendations One of them is about providing you with undermined insets analysis Which means that you can get immediate feedback for cluster adjustments So to assess better the impact of your configuration changes in few clicks This is planned for q2 this year For q2 this year also the team plans to release a preview of the insets advisor openshift upgrade risks So you will have the the opportunity to access upgrade risks prediction Making sure that you understand the impact of that Upgrade also the blockers for instance, whether you have specific alerts or specific operator conditions And you are also suggested with the right recommendation around this how to deal with the upgrade And lastly the team provides plans to provide an openshift fleet insets view Integrated to with the advanced cluster management that's planned for q3 plus this year And this wants to provide you with a operational summary of all your cluster's health So in a snapshot very important for the fleet So pretty much what we can say here observability is a superpower Observability is a key differentiator of the openshift experience And as we saw there are some recording teams one of them being multicluster And that leads me to the next section of the presentation. So over to you naina Thank you, vanissa after this zoom in and zoom out experience Let's learn a little bit more about the multi cluster layer. We have redhead advanced cluster management Redhead advanced cluster security and redhead quay. Let's take a look at the priorities for each of them this year Every single time Doesn't like me anymore Redhead advanced cluster management is the solution to simplify Operation and maintenance of your kubernetes clusters with acm. You can view manage Operate and solve issues all through a single console that runs seamlessly on openshift And it can also be easily integrated with other enterprise tools acm is a proven solution that provides transparency on your multiclustered life cycle You can centrally create update and even delete your kubernetes clusters across multiple private and public clouds As well as search find modify any kubernetes resources across the entire domain And if I'm sure eyes you can quickly troubleshoot and resolve them across your federated domain rhtcm allows a hub and spoke architecture where all configurations are managed by the hub cluster component um And spoke kubernetes can be seamlessly added and deleted from the central hub. It also comes with a rich api Add-ons and can integrate with some key enterprise tools making it a tightly integrated solution for your cluster management acm We are keeping the theme of three the three priorities for open shift and infrastructure The first is the open shift and infrastructure enhancements And this includes hyper shift, which is a hosted control planes and open shift cluster manager integration with the goals of cost saving Speed of creating new clusters and multi-tenancy and other topic is nutanix infrastructure support in the assisted installer service Second is day two management capabilities that involve right sizing recommendations for kubernetes capacity planning Um the fine grain are back for observability a new Templatized policies and application sets delivered as pull model Now this removed the dependency on connectivity to the managed cluster And the third is management at the edge and scale and scale the initiatives for this topic Are providing device edge management and delivering open shift with a policy view and search Let's move over to redhead advanced cluster security ACS is the key that offers security throughout the application life cycle And the business value it offers beyond protection can be classified into three groups The first is faster time to resolution This includes implementing more effective prioritization workflows Creating feedback loops early and often and improving data quality to limit manual work The second group is about breaking down the cross functional barriers. It provides guidance through your everyday activities And enable collaboration via a shared language and enforcing security with minimal outages And the third group is about how it bridges the skill and the concept gap by simplifying adoption with standardized patterns providing you with your mature incident response And letting you implement a more informed risk management for an overall better incident management policy When it comes to security Innovation we are working on some more superpowers for you. So under security innovation We are looking for vulnerability management Our scanner will give you the power of the x revision It can now scan full rhc os nodes and even separate cvs by areas of concern This means app dev teams can focus on workload cvs while cluster admins tackle platform and node cvs We are also adding data About known exploits to make it easier to Spot vulnerabilities that are ripe for exploitation And with better download option for vulnerability reports, you can share info in whatever format you like csv pdf Probably not hero graphics yet. If that's your thing Trending and metrics our team plans to add historical metrics And risk indicator widgets to help you keep a finger on the pulse Of your security performance think of it as a built-in heart monitor for your it infrastructure Shift left left network policy is another cool tech preview feature that helps developers auto generate kubernetes network policies as part of their ci cd process With this tool in hand developers can compare the generated policies with the policies required for their enterprises That meet the needs for the enterprise We are extending acs to cloud services Field trial is ongoing and if you are interested, please reach out to your account steam And that's just the beginning. We are also working on simplifying the policies for you And working on the portfolio integration a tighter integration with compliance as policy Mapping open shift to acs roles and expanding our acs support support to ibm power ibm z And we are also working on providing Common scanner across acs and quay I will just quickly cover redhead quay since our time is up The quay is the central source of truth for all your containerized software needs Imagine having a single place to store and govern all your container image Making it easier to manage and distribute your apps across your organization The roadmap themes for it First we are focusing on running quay seamlessly on and with open shift container platform The second is supporting the disconnected ocp clusters for all our air gap customers and third is better support For your large deployments So you have a better control over your multi-tenant deployments Vanessa So let's wrap up the presentation for today with a sneak peek into the near future as we have also introduced At the beginning of the presentation So first of all stay tuned for open shift 4.13 coming soon Also a presentation with more product manager is being organized now So stay tuned for that You will hear all details that you need across all these areas in open shift But this is a sneak peek that we want to provide you with today And I would like to mention a couple of those around the hybrid cloud experience and open shift platform plus era One of them being around observability, of course, which we saw before So as an open shift administrator with open shift 4.13 log in 5.7 You will be able to create alerting rules based on logs So stay tuned for that with full support in the open shift web console That's a feature that I wanted to highlight a second feature that I would like to highlight is about the advanced cluster security So specifically the network graph 2.0 So network graph in acs allow you to better visualize the Networking security issues the networking security risks and with this new release that are more crisp graphs A better user navigation. So if you want to check it out, that's is a good chance For core platform and developer tools and as you can see we are running off the page here But I would like to mention the support open shift 4 on snow on arm metal And shared vpc support for gcp Developer preview of istio mb and mesh and I know people are looking for that our go roll out for githops And integrated serverless function experience through dev console. There is much more Um, I will take you to the delco and edge. So we are working on micro shift x x 86 tech preview basic support for micro shift on arm And for mana services open shift is coming on oracle cloud infrastructure near you Interested in learning more about open shift. I hope we have inspired today and that you would like to come and browse our demos Our documentation and even take open shift on a test drive Well, thank you so much for your attention today I hope you enjoyed the session and will seek us out if you have any questions and Stay tuned for more sessions. Thank you
