And it can lead to a knock-on effect as well. Of course, so if you think about the rising cost of living and people having to prioritize their spending, hygiene products really are the last thing on the list for many people. So as the rising cost of living keeps increasing, people are having to prioritize fuel and food and clothing and school ahead of supplying their families with hygiene products. So it has a knock-on effect on people's, obviously their hygiene and their health, but also on their mental health and well-being also. Overcoming or trying to reduce the stigma surrounding hygiene poverty is important as well in this campaign. Of course, yeah. So one of our community partners recently shared that through the Hygiene Bank Island, providing them with hygiene products, it really reduced the stigma and the issues of them having to work with the people in the community and point them towards needing to look after their hygiene better and that having the access to the products that the Hygiene Bank provides, it makes that a much easier conversation and helps with treating people more respectfully. So the first project was set up in Dublin in 2019, but now it's grown into Hygiene Bank Ireland and there's projects right around the country, including here in Donegal. And many collection points are there here in Donegal, Victoria. So we have seven collection points in Donegal. So we're very lucky to have three in Aldi around Donegal. We have two in the Aldis in Lettokennie and one in Aldi in Buncrana. And then recently Boots Island have become a partner of the Hygiene Bank Islands, which is really exciting for us. And we've started a pilot with Boots and the Boots Store at Lettokennie Retail Park is one of the pilot stores. So we have a drop-off point there. And then we have two in Donegal town at Britain's Pharmacy and Cara Allcare Pharmacy. And then the final one is in Bundoran at the Pillbox Pharmacy. Okay, and the boxes, the collection boxes, are easily accessible in all those places? They are, yeah. They're usually like close to the tills or in Aldi, they're after the tills in the packing area. So they're very visible. We've got our signage on the boxes. And what sort of products are most needed? So we see a lot of requests for nappies, for deodorants, toothbrushes and toothpaste. But more so recently, what we're hearing from our community partners is that they need everything. There's not, so that they have anything in store, everything that we're providing is going straight out into the community and the demand is ever increasing. So really I would say for people to think about what do you use on a daily basis and likelihood is somebody else is gonna need to use that as well. Okay, obviously because they're hygiene products, they're non-perishable. So the collection points as we outlined those seven locations here in Donegal. And just to mention as well, that you're doing a bit of a walk tomorrow out at Glen Bay, is that right? We are, yeah. So as part of National Hygiene Week, we are doing a hike for hygiene. So there's a hike happening at Glen Bay National Park tomorrow at 1 p.m. And so there's a few volunteers and our friends that will be hiking. We'll be doing the walk out to the castle and then the walk up to the viewpoint. So it's a 5K walk and we have a fundraising page for anybody that would like to donate. And we also have hikes happening down in Dublin as well in our projects down there. Okay, well, enjoy the day out at Glen Bay tomorrow. I hope the sun shines for you. In the National Hygiene Week, Victoria Riley, thanks very much for chatting to us. Appreciate it. Thank you.


The Marine Corps has played an active role in San Diego history ever since Marines from the Slukevore Cyan seized Old Town during the Mexican-American War in 1846. Marines have been stationed at the Recruit Depot since 1921 when most of the buildings here were constructed. These buildings, known as the Arcade, were designed by world-famous architect Bertram Goodhue. The Arcade is among 25 buildings that have qualified for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and are outstanding examples of Spanish colonial revival architecture. Since 1923, more than a million Marines have completed their recruit training here at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego, and since 1915 at the Marine Corps East Coast Recruit Training Depot at Parris Island, South Carolina. Regardless of where Marine attended boot camp, you can rest assured that they received the toughest and most physically and mentally demanding recruit training offered anywhere in the world. Some individual techniques and methods may have evolved over the years, but the focus and adherence to our core values of honor, courage, and commitment are as strong today as any time in our history. Today, the Marines of Company I accept the responsibilities to safeguard this proud tradition as they step forward to join this rich heritage. Ahead of them, fly bright futures that will no doubt add to the proud Marine legacy that they now rightfully claims their own. Corporal Manning is a four-year-old full-blooded English Bulldog born in Baltimore, California, on July 9, 2018. He is named in honor of Sergeant Johnny R. Mamalito Sr., one of the original 29 Navajo co-talkers who trained in the first all-Navajo platoon here aboard the depot in 1942. Sergeant Mamalito helped create the code that the Navos developed at Camp Elliot, now Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. He became an instructor teaching other Navajo Marines the Navajo code. Later, Sergeant Mamalito participated in the battle of Iwo Jima, where a Marine Signals Officer stated, had it not been for the code talkers, we would have never taken Iwo Jima. Corporal Manning continues the tradition of a long line of Marine Corps Bulldog mascots dating back to 1921 when Brigadier General Spedley Butler appointed Sergeant Major Jakes as the first Bulldog mascot for Marine Corps Barracks Quantico. He is being escorted by the Office of Communication Strategy and Operations, Corporal Max J. Noel. Spiritual development plays an important part in the making of United States Marine. Lieutenant Commander Ulysses Elio Balde, Chaplain Corps, United States Navy will deliver the graduation prayer. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise. Let us pray. Lord, may everything we do begin with your inspiration and continue with your help so that all our prayers and works may begin in you and by you happily ended. Grace's Father, we pray for this wonderful day as we come together to celebrate the achievements of these U.S. Marines. This is a special day in the life of these graduates. As they embark on the next chapter of their lives, we pray that the same hand that has kept them thus far will continue to be in their lives. May God's hand of protection be upon them and may God's word continue to be a light unto their path. Help them to make wise decisions and to always keep your holy name first in everything what they do and everything they do. We also pray for all the officers and rail instructors who trained our new U.S. Marines. We pray to protect, guide, and watch over them and their families. Fill them with your love, compassion, and your radiance. We ask this in your holy name. Amen. Thank you. Please be seated. Commanding General, Marine Corps, Crutipo, San Diego welcomes you to what is a historic event in the life of a Marine. Their graduation from boot camp, approximately 40 weeks each year for the past 100 years, new Marines have departed San Diego for service with units of the Marine Corps around the globe. The primary mission of the Recruit Depot is to provide basic training to recruits in this west of the Mississippi, which represents approximately 51% of all applicants in the Marine Corps each year. The Depot is also home to recruiter school and drill instructor school. All our efforts here are geared toward one end, producing America's finest fighting force, the United States Marines. This morning, Company I, Third Recruit Training Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment, will form in March in the parade. Following the pass and review, the graduating Marines will return front and center of the reviewing stand for final dismissal. The staff for today's parade is comprised of Marines from the Recruit Training Regiment. The commander of troops is Captain John F. Hunt, Company Commander, Company I, Third Recruit Training Battalion. The parade adjutant is Captain William Brandon, Executive Officer, Company I, Third Recruit Training Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment. The marching units are now being called to attention and the adjutants command, sound adjutants call, will begin today's parade. Marching in today's parade are 183 of the graduating Marines from Company I. Among the 183 Marines are two Marines who displayed outstanding performances and two individually graded events. Private First Class Devin V. Sanchez from Batoon 3202 is the company high shooter scoring a 336 out of 350. Private First Class Samuel L. Beckett from Batoon 3201 is the most physically fit Marine scoring a 296 out of 300 on the physical fitness test and a 300 out of 300 on the combat fitness test. They will be receiving awards from the Marine Corps Association and Foundation. Present today is the Company Honor Graduates Recruiter Staff Sergeant Andrew K. Hoopin. Also present today is the primary marchmanship instructor with a Batoon High Shooting Average of 220 for Batoon 3207 Sergeant Zornath L. Yabao. Recruit training is comprised of subjects required to produce basic Marines who function effectively in Garrison, are trained in rudimentary individual field and combat skills and practice the personal and professional traits which distinguish them as Marines. Examples of these traits are discipline the achievement of a state of discipline which assures respect for authority instant and willing obedience to orders and the self-reliance to maintain or improve those traits which acceptify a Marine. Military bearing consistently demonstrating military presence and personal awareness as well as the proper wearing and maintenance of uniforms. Esprit de corps acquiring the common spirit of the Marine Corps that inspires enthusiasm, devotion, pride, initiative, teamwork, aggressiveness, determination, moral courage, integrity, camaraderie and the burning desire to work with and for others toward excellence in common goals. For 246 years Marines have fought and won whenever and wherever the nation calls in the harshest conditions over the most brutal terrain and against the most formidable enemies, Marines defend the ideals of freedom with grit and tenacity. Though battlefields change and capabilities evolve history proves that true victory comes from the individual Marine with steel resolve, the drive to overcome any obstacle and the warrior spirit to fight on against all odds. It takes that steadfast faithfulness, semperfidelis, to core country and each other that abounds throughout our stored legacy. Marines today remain in combat for deployed throughout the world confronting every challenge with courage, loyalty and faithfulness. Their resolve to be most ready when the nation is least ready to defend freedom anytime and anywhere to stand ready to aid those devastated by natural disasters to pay tribute to those who have forged our proud legacy and to honor the families and loved ones who faithfully stand beside us. For the Marines of Company I today marks the end of the 13 week recruit training cycle. They have marched countless miles at Camp Hamilton and on this parade deck and have been trained as our all Marines as basic riflemen. In addition due to an intensive physical training program their strength and endurance have doubled since their arrival aboard the recruit depot. Their Marines qualified to take their places in the ranks of the world's finest fighting organization. The platoons are now being aligned from left to right in order to get them into their exact positions for the parade. The next portion of the ceremony will be our national anthem. We welcome veterans and members of the armed forces to join us in rendering appropriate honors with the military salute. For guests who have not served in the military it is proper etiquette during the national anthem to place their right hand over their hearts and for those in the audience wearing headgear to remove it. Will the guests please rise for the presentation of the colors. Ladies and gentlemen our national anthem please be seated. Following the command parade rest the parade agiton will give the command sound off which signals the band to parade forward of the assembled Marines while playing military marching music. The parade agiton now presents the assembled command to the commander of troops. Officers center march all unit commanders and guide-on-bearers march to the front and center of the formation. Historically it was at this point that commanding officers would issue orders and instructions to the unit commanders. Following this the unit leaders would face about return to their units and pass the information along to their Marines. Throughout our nation's history millions of men and women have earned the title United States Marine. Many who have helped shape our history join us here today. In keeping with the tradition of once a Marine always a Marine we would like to recognize them. At this time those in the audience who have served as Marines please rise. Ladies and gentlemen a round of applause for their dedicated service to core and country. Please be seated. We would also like to extend a warm welcome to Sergeant Major Peter A. Cia, Sergeant Major for First Marine Expeditionary Force who is attending today to see his son graduate Private First Class Stokovitch from Platoon 3207. Welcome Sergeant Major Cia. Ladies and gentlemen the battalion commander for Third River Training Battalion Lieutenant Colonel Christopher A. Aschenhurst. Good morning ladies and gentlemen family and friends distinguished guests. On behalf of the commanding general of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego in the western recruiting region Brigadier General Morris as well as the commanding officer of the Recruit Training Regiment Colonel Jones it is my pleasure to welcome you to the graduation ceremony for Company I. It is also my distinct pleasure to introduce our parade reviewing official Major General Faye whose impressive biography you will hear shortly. General it is an honor to have you with us today. Now I'd like to take a few moments to talk about why I'm so proud of the young men you've come to see graduate but first let me draw your attention to these impressive Marines wearing those distinctive green campaign covers. They certainly do not need an introduction from me for we all know them as the legendary Marine Corps drill instructor. From the moment a recruit arrives aboard the depot there is a drill instructor with them 24 hours a day seven days a week everywhere they go for it is the drill instructor that is the heartbeat of what it takes to transform a civilian into a United States Marine. Of the thousands of people we will meet throughout our lives let's be honest most of them we will forget but no Marine anywhere will ever forget the name the face or the gentle loving voice of their drill instructor. Also seated by the reviewing stands are the families of the officers and drill instructors of India Company. These families know firsthand the time dedication and sacrifice it takes to make Marines and we could not do it without their love and support so if you would all please join me in a round of applause for the families of India Company. We also know that making Marines is a team effort and it all begins with the hardworking Marine Corps recruiters who are spread throughout this great country of ours. Today Marine Corps recruiting command is represented by Staff Sergeant Hoopy of Recruiting Substation Billings Montana. Staff Sergeant Hoopy was the recruiter for our company honor graduate Lance Corporal Cason. It was Staff Sergeant Hoopy who first gave Lance Corporal Cason the opportunity to earn the title Marine. Outstanding job Staff Sergeant. Now let me turn my attention back to the remarkable young men standing in this formation behind me. They are truly some of the best this country has to offer. When they arrived here they were young and fit 19 years old on average and already in better shape than most people their age. 99% of them are high school graduates six of them have already earned a college degree but furthermore they displayed a courage and a commitment that most of their peers could never muster when they raised their right hand and swore that solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. They come from every expanse of the globe in this case five different countries. Some are from as far away as Fiji or Cameroon others are from just across the street here in San Diego but it was a single goal that brought the 183 of them together and that goal was to earn the title Marine. Three months ago they embarked on the world's most demanding entry-level training as they got off those buses and stepped foot into our historic yellow footprints and trust me throughout their time here they have undoubtedly been tested. They have been trained and evaluated in the attributes that make the Corps both unique and deadly. We have developed in each of them a physical and mental toughness that will never quit or give up despite the odds. They've been doctrineated in our core values of honor courage and commitment so that we create Marines of exemplary character both at peace and at war. They've been trained in battlefield tested war fighting skills so that when this nation calls its Marines always win and thanks to the marksmanship instructors at Weapons Field Training Battalion and Camp Pendleton when these Marines arrive on their objective they are capable of delivering precision rifle fire at a pinpoint target at staggering distances out to 500 yards. Today Weapons Field Training Battalion is represented by Sergeant Yabal who was the marksmanship instructor for our high shooting platoon platoon 3207 outstanding job Sergeant Yabal and finally we created small unit leaders out of each of them and evaluated their ability to decide act and communicate with a bias for intelligent action for that is what the future operating environment will demand. Now in addition to all of that I hope yesterday you noticed a few other upgrades we've installed they should have stood a little taller they certainly looked a little leaner they should have looked in the eyes and said these strange phrases like yes sir yes ma'am moms and dads it should be a long time before you have to tell one of these Marines to get a job or a haircut and I assure you they know how to clean up after themselves and make their beds but it is the change within that we are the most proud of for having been indoctrinated in our core values and then by virtue of the fact that they stand here today means that they've embraced those values as their own and so it is because of this journey they have made because of the physical mental and moral development they've displayed which was built upon the foundation that you all laid that I am proud to present 183 young men who through their own blood sweat and tears can now and forever claim the title United States Marine now if you'll excuse me for a moment while I address our new Marines one last time good morning Marines did you all hear that that is pure pride that is pride in themselves pride in the title that they have earned now India Company I know when you arrived here so many weeks ago the last thing on your mind was graduation you were probably thinking what in the world have I gotten myself into and how do I get them to stop yelling at me but you stand here today as America's newest Marines having accomplished something that most would never dare attempt and when you get home this weekend people are going to look up to you they're going to be proud of you as they should and your friends are going to ask you how you did it and when they ask you that I want you to take them for a walk down to your recruiting station and introduce them to your recruiters because I can promise you your drill instructors would love to meet your friends but remember that with this new title comes a great responsibility for the strength of the Marine Corps is not found in a weapon system or piece of equipment it is found in the war fighting spirit of the individual Marine that is what matters most in combat and that is what makes us different this world is a dangerous and chaotic place but that is why we have you and the legacy of our core of not only being the first to fight but to always win belongs to you now for safekeeping that Eagle Globe and anchor that we handed you on top of the Reaper represents 246 years of all of the Marines that have gone before you so be proud of yourself be proud of what you have accomplished but remember who you now are and who you now represent and always remember to protect what you've earned so on behalf of the officers the drill instructors and all the support personnel here aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego let me be the first to wish you fair winds following seas Semper Fidelis Marines welcome to our core now taking their position in the reviewing area is today's parade reviewing official Major General Michael F.

It is now directed that all Marines present and to us serve honorably and ladies and gentlemen you are all encouraged to join sing the words to the first verse as Marine Ban San Diego performs anchors away followed by the Marines Hymn. Will the guest please rise. The Marine Corps' uniqueness and strength as an elite fighting force is directly attributable to the magnificent efforts of the drill instructors and company officers who train and supervise the recruits. The distinct qualities of spirit and discipline the heart and soul of every Marine have been developed nurtured and ingrained in recruits through their observance and relationship with their drill instructors and officers. Recruit training is the very foundation of the Corps. Each year recruit training provides thousands of America's finest young men and women with a basic knowledge and skills to function in a profession characterized by its own set of high values and tough standards. The most important thing we do in the Marine Corps is make Marines. The individual Marine is the Corps that is what we do here. For the Marines graduating today the long arduous journey of the last 13 weeks is but a small step into the future of the Marine Corps. As they prepare to fill the ranks of our Corps they do so with unquestionable support for the high ideals and standards of the United States of America and the United States Marine Corps. Although Company I prepares for their final dismissal from bootcamp today their initial training is not over. Soon after graduation they'll report to the School of Infantry Camp Pendleton California where they will continue to be trained to serve as an effective member of a Marine Rifle Squad.  Ladies and gentlemen at this time we would like to introduce to you the Marines responsible for ensuring the success of the difficult transition required to become a Marine. The company commander is Captain John F. Hunt. The company first sergeant is First Sergeant Christian A. Fuentes. Ladies and gentlemen please join me in a round of applause for the company staff of Company I. The next portion of the ceremony will be the traditional function of retiring the guidance. The guidance have been carried by the platoons throughout recruit training and are being retired to symbolize the disbanding of platoons. All similar units in the Marine Corps carry such guidance which identify the unit and are a source of pride to each individual member. Note that the honor of carrying these guidance is bestowed upon those Marines who displayed outstanding leadership qualities motivation and character and were selected as the platoon honor graduates. The platoon honor graduates compete for the titles of series and company honor graduate. They are considered the top Marines graduating today and have demonstrated the highest potential for future leadership and responsibility in the Marine Corps. The guidance will now be returned to the drill instructors. The honor graduates will now be presented a plaque by the battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Aschenhurst and the battalion sergeant major sergeant major crews.

Needless to say this will be the most welcome command they have received throughout recruit training. Ladies and gentlemen this concludes today's ceremony.


We're looking at the sales tax now paying off the sales tax. Let's just give a quick recap of the sales tax. So if I scroll down here we've got this liability account which is in our case California Department of Tax because that's the department. They set up the sales tax kind of by department which is unusual. Usually you don't make an account by who you're paying like the vendor in essence. But it kind of makes sense if you have multiple sales tax to kind of help you to distinguish between the people that you have to pay if you have to pay different departments. But basically it's sales tax payable. So note that in the United States we have sales tax as a state tax. So there's kind of three things you want to keep in mind that we set up in a prior presentation to get the sales tax up and running. One, set up the sales tax in QuickBooks. Two, set up your items so that when you make the sales using those invoices and sales receipts it will calculate the sales tax. And then three, you've got the customers that you want to be able to set up to see if there's any kind of overriding factor for a customer that might be not subject to sales tax. Quick recap on that. Go into the tab to the left. We went down to the taxes to set up our sales tax. We've got our tabs up top. There's our sales tax that has been set up. We basically made California our sales tax item because we based our practice problem on a location in Beverly Hills. But we also made like a generic sales tax of 5% here for the generic problem purposes. Once sales tax had been set up and we have a location that it can be used to apply the sales tax, we then set up our items which are the things that we sell. And those are going to be in the sales tab on the left. And then the products and the services. I said that like I didn't know, like I wasn't unsure, but I'm told, but I am sure that's where they are for sure. And the sample company, they're in the get paid and paid area and then product and services in the get paid section. And then we went in here and we set up our items, the inventory items for us are going to be the ones that are subject to the tax. And then the non inventory or service items, we said we're not subject to tax. If I was to edit one of these, for example, you could see the tax being applied down here and you could see it checked off right there as a taxable item. And then we went or we could consider going to the customers themselves. And we could say, okay, customers are in the sales tab and then customers. And if we had a customer which would have been subject to sales tax, but is not then subject to sales tax for whatever reason, as you set up the customers, you can kind of set up that overriding kind of component. So if I go into Anderson, for example, and edit, and then we scroll down to the sales tax stuff, which is down here, taxes, we could say this customer's tax exempt. If they were tax exempt, that would mean that even though the inventory item is the main driving factor to say whether or not sales tax is applied, we can call them exempt. And we can also change the location of the sales tax here so that the proper location will be applied to the proper customer. Okay, so that's the general idea. Now, as we set up the sales tax, the next question is, well, how are we going to pay the sales tax? How is this going to work? Because when we make an invoice, the tax is basically applied. And we're charging the customer for the taxes, but we have to pay the tax to the to the government. So let's actually look at an invoice. I'm going to open up an invoice. Let's see, let's look at the sales receipt here. Check that one out. Did we sell in this one sold? We sold inventory on this one. So it's subject to the taxes. So just with regards to the tax side of things, what happened here? Well, we charged $9,000, our $2,094 total. And then we had to tack on the sales tax, which we said was a generic 5% bringing the total up that we're going to charge the customer $2,198.70. Now with the sales tax, remember that that's not going to be included this $104.70 in income. Income is only going to be the $2,094. We're going to collect $2,198, which is going to increase the checking account or the payments to deposit in this case. The difference is going to go to a payable account. And the idea there is you can imagine a situation where it increases like the sales account. Like I could, you can imagine the situation where we charge this $2,198 and we charge it to a sales account. And then when I pay the sales tax, I record an expense, which will net out on the income statement. But we don't do that in theory because we want to say, no, we're not charging you this amount. We're just the tax collector. It's not hitting the income statement. We're just the tax collector. So we collected $104 because the government's charging you the taxes customer. And we are just collecting it. And then we have to pay to the government. So neither the income nor the expense is going to hit the income statement. And then logistically, we have to say, okay, well, how, how am I going to pay the government? How often do I have to pay them? Do I have to pay them every time I make a sale and then pay the government on each, on each transaction, that would be burdensome. So normally it'll be dependent on your locale in terms of how often you have to pay them. So, and so, and it's going to be dependent on your location, but the general idea would be, I'm going to collect sales tax for some period of time. If it was monthly, then for the month of January, for example, which is going to be our practice problem, I'm going to collect sales tax through the month of January. And maybe I have till the end of February in order to pay the sales tax I collected in January.


Hey guys welcome back to Daniel's Tech World on YouTube, mediumanddanielroswell.tech. So in this video I'm continuing the theme of backups onto my new Synology N20 plus NAS which is really really cool and I'm just going through all the different exploring all the different things myself that you can do and in the process is that showing some backups. Now what I want to talk about in this video today is WordPress backups. Many of you might be thinking WordPress backups isn't that kind of simple aren't there a lot of YouTube videos about it and actually the answer to those things is yes but what I'm showing you that might be slightly different in today's video is how to create your own WordPress and actually not just WordPress just because a lot of people use WordPress that is kind of synonymous for a lot of people with websites in other words their websites whatever they're hosting those websites on it's basically just a WordPress it's basically just a WordPress install there may be a couple you may be using the cPanel email a lot of people actually are not even doing that and it's just all being handled through you know G Suite or Office 365 so there's nothing up there except WordPress but there are people that do have other things on their web hosting it's a shared in a shared web hosting environment and what I'm going to show you in this in this method I think that the WordPress backup plugins and you know there are definitely a few of them there's UpDraftPlus which is excellent I do recommend all of these and what I'm going to say is that the 321 backup methodology which I keep coming back to in these videos basically what you're looking at here is a methodology for keeping your data safe now it's not necessarily the best approach for for example having a quick backup strategy and this is what's built into a lot of these backup plugins there I've discussed in previous videos the difference between full backups incremental backups and differential backups and basically an incremental backup strategy every time you back up you're just backing up from the last incremental backup that means that the backups are the backup files are light the backup the backups run quickly because not very much it's only looking at what's changed but you need this whole big succession of backups in the event that for example you're starting from scratch somewhere on a new host so it's great that if you're using a WordPress site and you want to roll back changes that were amazed two or three days ago and muck something up and you don't want to go through the whole troubleshooting process you know you didn't change the site for two days just roll back to a an incremental backup and restore from that so that's perfect the kind of scenario I'm looking at in these in this approach is more concerned with people that want to have a copy of their own data for backup purposes because you don't want to trust your data ever to somebody on the cloud a third party and most hosting most hosting companies are there are they backing up your data yes but is it your it's ultimately your responsibility and it's just prudent to have your own data not to put your faith in the in the hosting company there have been cases of hosting companies that have lost users data and if that happens even if your host offers a backup service and it may be a lovely backup service it may not actually be 321 it won't be 321 compliance probably but it may not even even you know meet the first criteria of that because it could all just be running little incremental snapshots on the server so 321 kind of takes things I guess you could say to the next level used a lot in sort of enterprise backup planning basically you have three copies of all critical data business critical data mission critical data and in the case of that wordpress site let's say that hope that's hosting your e-commerce website that's one that's the primary data source and 321 calls for two maintaining two copies of of that data now the backup backed up data needs needs to be on two different storage types right so we have two backups and let's split up again here we're going to say that these each needs to be on a different type of storage media so remember when I said that even if you have a host that has a backup functionality and many have very nice ones built in so you might be you might be a confused wondering there's a wordpress backup plug-ins my host gives me this backup are you like what are you telling me that I need a third of one so I'm not I'm not telling you that I'm just I'm just pointing out why you may still want to do your own backup approach even in light of the above and that's because you may just be getting one one backup through your host and it may not be even on different storage media by which I mean that that backup one of these tools that run on the server could just be backing up to the server that your that's your website's host on so that's actually on the same storage media even though let's get technical for a second your host is you know running a professional data center with raise which means that if they have disk failure of some type that they're not going to lose your data there you know that's a whole idea behind rate but it's still it's still redundancy is not equal to backups and if the data is lost or something and you wanted to go back to or you want to roll back to a previous point or recover the data from a previous point you still can't rely on that basically finally you want to have one thing off site so if you're we're talking about wordpress backups here so clearly unless you're hosting that wordpress site on a server on premises in your own house then it's already the primary data sources off site but that's still under the three two one rule we still need even if even if our primary data sources off site we still need to create a backup with another off site data source and using Synology's NAS and it's a wonderful cloud sync technology we're and I forgot to mention back please be to we're going to be pushing pushing that the backup that we take up to off site so that's going to give us our three two one compliant backup strategy now in order to get the show started and taking a backup I am going to just quickly log into my hosting over here and just show you now this is based on this is this really this whole kind of I don't like calling these tutorials but demonstration is applicable if you're a shared hosting customer if you're doing something like you know wix or one of these all you can one builders and you're probably you probably don't even have a C panel I don't use wix or all you can keep saying all you can all you can eat you know these kind of click and point building tools but if you're on if you're doing something a little bit more custom and you're you have a wordpress site on a typical shared hosting environment then you are probably going to have a c-panel and the c-panel I'm going to open up for my shared hosting is danielrosil.tech so without further ado so this is my c-panel and as you can see there are there is a jet backup which is one of these as I described the kind of incremental backup tools that your that hosts often provide nowadays so I want to take a look at what it is you can see it does say it has full account backups and you can just tell straight away by the you know this would be such an unsustainable amount of data if these were if these were 30 full backups so it's clearly not that and it tells you actually the type of backup is incremental so what he did just before starting this is I down as I requested I clicked on this generate download button and just to take a look at what's going to come out of this I'm just going to click on that now pay attention to these files you can see it's a 612 megabyte archive that is being downloaded and that's the latest incremental backup but the tool that we are going to be taking a look at is and I just did that in order to compare and contrast the difference between what we're going to get here so this cPanel has a has a functionality for downloading a full account backup and you can see below it there is just downloading the my SQL downloading email forders and then there's these little restore boxes here if you're going to restore stuff now basically my point about backing up at cPanel and just explain the difference from backing up at WordPress WordPress is a as most people know it's basically a server-side software it's a piece of software that you install nowadays most people are installing it through something like softaculous it's dynamic so it's got a bunch of files in there themes containing PHP files plugins containing PHP files pulling in dynamic content such as posts authors made a data all that kind of stuff that gets stored in a my SQL database so fundamentally WordPress equals files plus database now I'm explaining that just explain what you're going to get in that full account backup that that's going to go beyond what you're going to get in these WordPress backup plugins the likes of updraft and duplicator you're going to miss firstly if you have any other things in your shared hosting so I don't know let's just say there's a chance that you've put on a CRM or an ERP or some other server script that you you know picked up using softaculous you're not obviously if you just use a WordPress plugin you're not going to be downloading those you're not going to be backing those up excuse me and if you have any files that are not encased within the WordPress directory that's WP content then they're not going to be backed up if you have any my etc etc if you're using cPanel email that means you haven't gone and set up your DNS records and use an external email provider such as Office 365 or G Suite then the emails themselves and the email addresses and the email forwarders which is all this all the stuff here basically that's not going to be included so just taking a backup or WordPress to an external location is fine if you're doing small incremental snapshots with the idea of quickly rolling back changes if however you're trying to institute a 321 complaint backup strategy whose goal is to give you control of your data that you're gonna have a copy so and you're gonna hedge against the best the possibility I should say that this that this hosting company is gonna go under and you want to have a good full backup image of your WordPress site that you're gonna take I don't know every every couple of months then this is the DIY approach that you might be interested in so I've gone ahead and created that full backup before this video actually started and it's gonna be sitting ready ready and waiting for me now you can see firstly that's the 1.1 gigabyte image and that's just to contrast that's an unusually heavy incremental backup that we downloaded earlier I think I just let the I set up the site then let it sit for a while and then did the import in one day so that's probably this backup probably contains almost everything that's actually there so looking at what's in there you can see that this incremental backup divides the basically the entire cPanel into like your cron jobs basically everything you might have there your SSL keys and the files itself so it is a comprehensive backup but it is incremental so this wouldn't have everything it needed to restore no cron job setup so we're just I'm just gonna again pause the video as we wait for this backup image to download from the server alright so this guy has just wrapped up it's it's download and while that has been going on I have gone ahead and entered into my Synology NAS and this little program is called DSM now what this is basically a NAS to give you a visualization of this year it's basically a it's kind of like a file server it's a little device like this hardware device that you fill up as hard drives and you connect this to the to your Ethernet and it's on your network so it's basically a server optimized for storing files that basically lives on your network so this has Synology this kind of operating system that they give you has a nice little utility called cloud sync and this allows you to basically pair up I'm just gonna go into it here it allows you to pair up cloud storage repositories with the NAS so it's gonna create a two-way sync so what I've done is I've created a demo bucket in B2 now B2 is a cloud storage that is operated by back plays they're specialized in backups and recovery that kind of thing and I created a demo bucket just for the purpose of this demonstration so that's in the cloud and if I can basically all I need to do from this point we're almost actually finished is to get that backup the full account backup that I just downloaded that one gigabyte file I need to put it on to a share that I've created because this sync thing works between a cloud and then it syncs to a share on your NAS so if I go into my settings here overview yeah sorry task list and you can see the local path is Daniel desktop backups that's a local share I've set up and anything I put there is going to be synced up to the B2 in the cloud so let's just go back to 321 for a second and I will use for this my trusty GitHub documentation my master backup strategy so-called if you go back to 321 and let's just say this Linux backup is our hosting we have created it's in the cloud and we need two more backups we are putting one up to our off-site and we're going to in the process we're actually going to be firstly taking our on-site backup putting that into our NAS and then we're going this way in fact and then that's going to give us our off-site and that will mean that we will have if you go back to the 321 rule we're going to have our hosting and two existing copies full backups that can be used to restore from scratch no need they're not differential they're not in they're not incremental like the WordPress backup plugins a lot of them and like the lot of the backup tools the host had on they're full self-standing backups which will mean that they're heavy so we might need to repeat this process periodically and only keep one snapshot but they will each snapshot will have everything we needed to restore in the event it would be required and they're going to be on different storage media this is on whatever infrastructure B2 is hosted on and this is going to be kept on my NAS at home so two different storage media that means if B2 fails we're going to this is going to be okay and realistically B2 will not fail but if my NAS failed and I would have the copy on B2 so what I've just done here is I have called up in the this should be an interesting comparison the guy on my left is the incremental backup that we got from the host and the guy on the right is the full backup that's just finished downloading so as you can see they actually contain if I'm not mistaken all the same all the same files and directories but this is this was the incremental backup and if you simply compare the files as well you notice in the full backup and sorry that's the one on the left I got I think I may have got confused there there's things like bandwidth DB.json this file here 146 bytes and that is not featuring in the incremental backup because this is capturing the full backup everything that existed from the start and this is only what changed between this and the last incremental backup so if bandwidth DB.json did not change and it's not then it wouldn't have been included in the in this incremental backup that Jetbacker brand for us so jumping back into Synology over here for one second I've just popped into Daniel's demo share that's the one that seems to be to verify there's nothing in it so now I'm just going to search for that on the network so in PC Manifem which is the default file manager in LXDE which is really not so much in use anymore in even in Linux world it's been subsumed supplanted I should say rather by LXQT but this is what it looks like you go to go to network and I can click on it'll identify identify straight away the NAS the Synology NAS on the network and then what I need to do to connect with it is give it my credentials so I'm just going to do that quickly and then login that's been done and immediately you can see all the shares I've created have shown up including Daniel demo share so that's really it and you can see now it's using AFP and the nice thing about this PC Manifem is that you can see it makes it very easy to see the protocol that the file manager is connecting from so I am just going to open in a new tab the desktop and that is actually download was the not full one so this is the full cPanel backup and it's just a copy and paste you can make life difficult for yourself by doing this on the on the command line it's a gigabyte so it's going to take a couple of minutes just to move that into the into the Synology and what's going to happen then and I'm going to pause video here and because syncing that up to the cloud is going to take a while this will then sync up to B2 automatically and once it's in B2 then it's going to be and this will run as soon as as soon as this finishes this reaches 100% this is showing that all my clouds are currently in sync but when this hits 100% this guy is going to start going and we'll be able to watch as it moves up to the cloud okay the big moment is about to occur it's just reached 100% our ticker so if we do a refresh and Daniel's demo share I'm now looking at the if I can look in the folder in PC Manifem I can see that it's in there and this is the view from I can do a refresh here and there we go we can see that the backup has been loaded here now this guy the cloud sync is about to start moving hopefully so let's just check that okay so I've just checked the connection which in actual fact it was connected to the wrong remote bucket in B2 so I just fixed that and that just turned as soon as I changed the as soon as I created the new B2 bucket here in cloud sync and made the connection almost instant within literally a second this change from synced to syncing and you can see the icon is in there and it's just got that kind of tiny tiny file in the root of the folder and it's syncing so that's now going to be I'm not going to actually show this process because of the fact that my internet is approximately three or four megabytes per second upload speed and therefore it would take hours for that is probably going to take hours for this to actually get up to the cloud but that's how it works this is in summary a 321 compliant 321 compliance calls for taking two copies of every important primary data source two different storage media one off site wordpress backups consist really of files and database but it's of interest to a lot of people to take a full backup of the entire cPanel instead of just backing up the wordpress application that means you're not using the wordpress plugins or even the stuff your host offers I recommend you use the two things in parallel those incremental backups can be very very useful but if you want to take your own backups on your own independent cloud storage on site storage media then this is a way to do it in summary you need to go into cPanel in summary you need to go into cPanel and you need to you need to use the backup functionality pull down a full account backup and then you can download that if you're using an NAS you can put it into a nice sync if you're not such as cloud sync with that Synology DMS or if you're not using an NAS then you can just manually upload that download to some kind of cloud storage repository and that'll that'll achieve basically the same thing for you thanks for watching and any questions I'm available at danielrosil.co.al


uggests that social enterprises should not complement existing models. I think that the severe definitions contained in the amendment is our reason for not supporting it. I thought that you were going to talk about Angus and a mentoring programme there. That was the point that I was specifically making. Rachel Hamilton spoke about East Lothian, where 1.5 million of income is generated by social enterprises and 230 people are employed. She also highlighted that red tape is holding the sector back. Willie Rennie spoke about Fife and two social enterprises that are sadly no longer trading their recycling of paint and the reuse of books. I wonder if the right enterprise agency support were given to those businesses whether they would still be surviving today, but certainly it is a shame. Jamie Greene spoke about the deep and profound contribution that social enterprises can make. I thought that John Scott had the quote of the day, who quoted Winston Churchill, saying that we make a living by what we earn but we make a life by what we give. On that note, I would like to highlight the steps that have been taken through the procurement reform bill to encourage the use of community benefit clauses with public sector contracts. That will have an impact on the ability for social enterprises to bid for and win public sector contracts. However, recent amendments to the EU procurement legislation has significantly broadened the scope on the use of reserved contracts from a very narrow definition, applying to only a small number of supported businesses, to a far broader definition that now covers hundreds of social enterprises. The Scottish public sector now has the legal framework, if it chooses to do so, to revolutionise the way in which it contracts goods and services from social enterprises. I would like to see how that is reflected in upcoming action plans. I note that the strategy commits to exploring approaches to developing a flexible and holistic Scottish model of impact measurement. I welcome that commitment, but we should not underestimate the challenge of that. There are countless impact measurements, methods and tools that have been developed across the globe, but there is no magic bullet. I look forward to seeing the SNP Government's proposals in this area, but whatever tool they decide upon will have to be robust, cost-effective, accessible to all and independently verifiable, particularly if the tool will be used as a basis for investment and funding decisions. Link to the social impact measurement, the strategy states that social enterprises deliver services that shift the balance of provision from costly crisis intervention to prevention. However, very little true progress has been made in this area. Too many of our public bodies, including the NHS and local authorities, do not adequately recognise the preventative spend impact that has been brought about by social enterprises to the extent that they are prepared to make a financial contribution to those social enterprises. I am interested to see how that is reflected in the action plans. The strategy also makes a recommendation for intelligent grant making. However, anyone involved in the social enterprise sector will tell you that this type of funding is in chronic shortage and particularly hard to access for emerging social enterprises. I note that there is no commitment from the SNP Government within the strategy to reinitiate the enterprise growth fund or its predecessor, the third sector enterprise fund, which provided exactly this type of pump-prime funding. We are keen to see how the Government's plans in this area and whether it will commit to new enterprise funding for social enterprises. It is critical that, if the social enterprise sector in Scotland is to continue to thrive and prosper, the upcoming action plans attached to the strategy recognise those challenges and take steps to address them. I urge the chamber to support the amendment in the motion in Dean Lockhart's name. Thank you very much. I now call Angela Constance to close for the Government Cabinet Secretary until 5 o'clock. I thank members for their contributions this afternoon. It has been at times a lively debate. It has been good and natured throughout. There has been a large amount of consensus, although there has not been unanimity, but of course that gives us all something to reflect on and indeed debate about. We have had a bit of a canter through history, starting with the fhenic weavers, with many members focusing on Robert Owen. While I have to gently say to Richard Leonard, while he is far more dogmatic as a socialist than I am as a nationalist, I accept the point about us given an honest appraisal when we discuss our past. Of course, this debate is very much about looking to the future, how we embed and, as Dean Lockhart says, build on the success of social enterprise in Scotland, both at home and abroad. The part of the debate that was not given much attention was the role of social enterprise internationally. We know that 7 per cent of social enterprises in Scotland trade internationally, and the whole purpose of having the internationalisation strategy for social enterprise is to work very hard to extend that. That is good for social enterprises here in Scotland, but it also has an invaluable contribution to make in terms of social justice global justice. On that specific point, can you shed some more light on how or the role that SDI might have in helping Scottish social enterprises trade or open up trade overseas? Absolutely. They do indeed have a very important role in this, as do all our enterprise agencies, in support of social enterprise specifically. I will come on to that point later. I will say to Johann Lamont that I will be very happy to meet her and other co-operative members who look forward to that. She rightly identifies the cross-government and the cross-cutting aspect of the agenda. If I can say to Mr Johnstone that the cabinet works on a collaborative basis and inclusive growth is everybody's business. When I say that our social enterprise sector is world-leading, I state that with a degree of authority. Primarily I say so because it is important to recognise and celebrate the success of the sector, not to bask in the glory but to increase our resolve to do more to ensure that social enterprise in Scotland reaches its full potential both in terms of its economic impact as well as its social impact. I want to quote the chair of the Social Enterprise World Forum, David Lee Page, of Vancouver, Canada, when he said that social enterprise world leaders from around the world are keen to come to Scotland as the social enterprise policy and practice environment is by far the most advanced worldwide, with Scotland maintaining its position as the leading social enterprise nation. I also want to quote John Burge, the co-founder of Big Issue, when on 10 January, speaking in the UK Government's debate on and their approach to social enterprise in the House of Lords, he said, unfortunately the whole system is moving rather slowly. It is possible maybe to imitate the Scottish Government's idea of having a 10-year strategy to look at ways in which to do social enterprise in every conceivable way. We all welcome the words. We can all recognise as an awful lot of good work and that there is global regard for what we are doing here, but surely we need measures to understand how the sector is doing and, importantly, how the sector is doing comparatively with other parts of the world. That is completely absent from the document. I largely agree with Mr Johnson's point with respect to data, and I welcome on to that. However, the reason that I am quoting international opinion and John Burge, the co-founder of the Big Issue, is to demonstrate that that is not just my words or the words of the Scottish Government, but that we have some well-respected validation of what we are doing here in Scotland. In terms of data, members will be aware that we now have some good baseline information in terms of the social enterprise census that was published in 2015. One of our actions is to fund community enterprise Scotland to rerun that census this year, and it will do so in collaboration with a wide variety of partners, because it is crucial that we are able to compare and contrast over a period of time. Perhaps we should also be looking at how we extend that census also, because I do agree with the point about data. We are also, in the action plan or the actions that I announced today, committed to establishing a social measure of social impact, because it is important that we have that holistic measurement. It is important that we can compare social enterprises at the length and breadth of Scotland, but that we can also do it internationally. I want to assure members that that work is on-going and that we recognise very much the importance of hard data. I also say that, with 5,000-plus social enterprises in Scotland, with 200 new social enterprises every year, with 42 per cent of our current social enterprises having been formed in the last decade, I would have thought that that would have pointed to the fact that, as a Government, we must be doing something right. Perhaps it would have been a wee bit more gracious to acknowledge that. Many of those new social enterprises have been formed in the Highlands and Islands, which she has omitted to mention so far. Can she explain why the Highlands and Islands Enterprise is not included in the strategy? Is she going to speak to the First Minister sitting next to her to tell her that she should abandon plans to centralise it? I would like to make Mr Rennie aware that Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise were fully involved in the development of the social enterprise strategy, which, if I can completely remind members, was co-produced. It was not written by myself in splendid isolation in St Andrew's house. It was led by the sector, which consulted widely. It had many, many round-table events. It focused on rural communities. It focused on people from the black and minority ethnic community. I am running out of time, I am afraid. It participated in a very innovative online consultation. The strategy has been led and developed by the sector. I stress that Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise have been fully involved in the development of the social enterprise strategy. I also emphasise two further points in relation to the core of Mr Rennie's question. The role of social enterprise and the importance of supporting social enterprise will, indeed, be emphasised in the strategic guidance letters to both those organisations. As we move forward, led by Mr Brown to the second phase of the enterprise and skills review, Mr Brown and I certainly have discussed what more we need to do to fully consider the needs of social enterprise. I suggest to Mr Johnston that that is an example of good solid joined-up thinking. On the time that I have briefly left, I want to quickly mention funding but also procurement. Public contracts in Scotland are among the most accessible in the world. The public sector, as many members have identified, spend in the region of £11 billion on good services. I want to highlight that we have a £2.3 million developer markets for the third sector contract. As some members have rightly highlighted, there are indeed opportunities to do more, but we should not forget that the public sector has a good record in utilising public procurement, for example, to create jobs and training. In terms of funding, many members have mentioned it. The purpose of the strategy and forthcoming action plan is to anchor that what social enterprise has benefited from over the past decade and what it needs to benefit from as we move forward in the future is holistic support from a range of sources, bearing in mind that 54 per cent of social enterprises get more than half their income from trading. Nonetheless, I want to highlight the fact that this Government has protected the third sector budget, £24.5 million. We have protected the £20 million Empowering Community Fund, which is a very important strand of funding in terms of the people and communities funding. It is all about strengthening and growing community organisations. The First Minister, at the start of the year, announced the £29 million Fairer Scotland fund. Nearly £10 million of that will be directed at the social economy development programme. There is also nearly £19 million available in the aspiring community fund. It would be completely disingenuous for people to suggest that we have not invested heavily in social enterprise or, indeed, that we will not continue to do so, because we absolutely will, Presiding Officer. In terms of the various funds and announcements that I made today, I spoke specifically about seven actions. Perhaps what would be helpful if I put that full list of the announcements that I made today? I only had time to mention seven actions from the 20-plus actions, and I am confident that that will give members confident of the breadth and depth of actions that we are taking and, indeed, the various funding streams. Presiding Officer, there has never been a better time to go social. I believe that, as a nation, we are at the cusp of becoming a social enterprise nation. We have more to do, but it is absolutely vital that we celebrate and acknowledge the success of this world-leading social enterprise sector here in Scotland that benefits communities the length and breadth of Scotland and, of course, will all endeavour to build on that success. That concludes our debate on Scotland's social enterprise strategy. We will go straight to the decision time, and the first question is that amendment 3898.2 in the name of Dean Lockhart, which seeks to amend motion 3898 in the name of Angela Constance, be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are all agreed. The next question is that amendment 3898. Sorry, we are not agreed. We are not agreed. We will move to a vote. Members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on the amendment in the name of Dean Lockhart is, yes, 95, no, 12. There were no abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is that amendment 3898.1 in the name of Richard Leonard, which seeks to amend the motion in the name of Angela Constance, be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are not agreed. We will move to a vote. Members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on the amendment in the name of Richard Leonard is, yes, 49, no, 59. There were no abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed. The next question is that amendment 3898.3 in the name of Andy Wightman, which seeks to amend the motion in the name of Angela Constance, be agreed. Are we all agreed? We are not agreed. We will move to a vote. Members may cast their votes now. The result of the vote on the amendment in the name of Andy Wightman is, yes, 17, no, 32. There were 59 abstentions. The amendment is therefore not agreed. The final question is that motion 3898 in the name of Angela Constance, as amended, be agreed. Are we all agreed? Are we all agreed? We are all agreed. That concludes decision time. I close this meeting of Parliament.


Hello and welcome to today's Mindfulness Challenge Day 97. Thank you for joining me today. Today we're going to talk about how we deal with negative people and the challenges that we face when we come across some of these people and there's many different types of negative people and I try and find myself now and people say well that's not very spiritual Julian but I find myself gravitating towards like-minded people because the energy exchange is pleasant and it's this but we have to remember that the world that we live in and some of these people now are going to be coming out of isolation and all the rest of it and they're going to feel a bit of angst but when you think of working with negative type of people I've always been told that there's sort of we can categorise them as much as you want but there's sort of six categories of negative people and we're going to go through them and then we're going to think about how we deal with them and how we're going to work with them and how we can you know ensure that we don't take on board their energy but try and help them along the process as well and the first sort of negative person that we're going to talk about today is the complainant and that type of person is someone who's always there's always something wrong there's always something happening to them things are never good enough they have an urge to express their frustration with every little thing every time there's an extreme version and the complainant becomes always becomes the victim now we're going to know some of these people as we're actually talking about the character as he oh yeah yeah I remember that person they want you to hear their complaints and agree with them and spending a long time with a complainant makes you feel negative and the key emotion here is dissatisfaction the next person we're going to talk about is the antagonist and they sometimes can be quite aggressive and confidential and pushy and some of their particular feelings of hostility towards certain groups of people they could be manifest in racist or extreme behaviour and sometimes it's a personal dislike in many of these cases however it's not about you they just have a boiling point of anger and frustration and they'll pour it out often whoever happens to be next to them and they get irritated easy and they like to blame or attack others in extreme cases they can be bullies who intentionally want to hurt people and sometimes it does convert out that way but a more refined version of the antagonist behaves in more of a civil manner on the surface but uses passive aggressive speech jokes or sarcasm to vent their true feelings and the antagonist can trigger in your feelings an anger of abuse or distress or or being a victim of injustice and the key emotions here are anger and aversion now another type of person that we'll come across is the narcissist it's all about them and they want you to realise that okay they love talking about their trips their fun times achievement successes and clothes there there's a feeling of self-entitlement they want your attention your confirmation and your admiration taking or talking to a narcissist quite often make you feel disgusted and superficial or it can leave you with this false sense of feeling that the life's not interesting enough and the key emotion here when we start to think about when we talk to a narcissist is pride and then we have mr better or mrs better and you find this type of person in every group their opinion is the only correct one or at least the most accurate one they believe that they're far better than you they're more intelligent they have the material success personal development or whatever it is but they conceal their flaws they have by apologising or recognising mistakes and only put out as a forward shiny face what do they do secretly well your recognition admiration and sometimes submission is what takes them forward they're constantly judging and comparing they can manifest as i know it all they are a purist that can show off quite a bit in a more refined expression they hold their strong opinions with an armour of rational arguments and using condescending language to point to your inadequacies talking to a mr or mrs better may make you feel bad about yourself as if you're inferior but the key pattern here is arrogance and then we're going to move on to the manipulator they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals even if it means emotionally manipulating you to act accordingly to their own self-interest they might be quite skilled individuals self-driven observant charming and possessing good emotional intelligence and extremely good communication skills but in the most severe cases they're psychopaths and sociopaths you may not realise that you're in the presence of a manipulator although with meditation practice you'll become better at detecting it the key emotion here is selfishness selfishness and the last one we're going to talk about is the drama queen or the drama king and then in the habit of spinning small frustrations into outsized disasters and create this exaggerated emotional response to trivial things and this can be accompanied by blaming others you know generalisation pessimism paranoia and a vindictive behaviour and their moods they're volatile and they expect you to engage with their self-indulgent monologs when you don't they can make you feel bad about it they want our attention our emotional support and our ears but spending time with them is exhausting as if they're sucking the life out of your blood the key emotions here are needing us self-importance and panic now we talk about you know the six different types of people there there's more but I think we can all relate to that and what strategies can we use when we come across these different people these difficult people and how can we use mindfulness to be able to you know change our relationships to some of that and equanimity is something that is very powerful it's the pause it's the breath it's the present without getting emotionally affected we can use compassion for these people we understand them inside out we can use communication we can actively listen and and work on how we can answer some of those questions interruption well let's not get sucked into that rabbit hole or break negative you know bring so even more negative interactions and if assertion if all else fails then confront them mindfully but sharply bringing things to their mind but I want to talk to us about an economias presence equanimity for me is the beginning in the middle and the end of all exercises and without equanimity when we can just pause and breathe so when you get yourself into the situation with one of these type of people don't just jump in and react ground yourself around your body and just without even doing it with your eyes open just check in and feel where that reaction and emotion is and how does that feel and just pause knowing that you're in the power and that you're grounded and you can silently communicate to yourself you know if you've got the complainer and to the complainer you want to be saying that's not important to the antagonist you want to be saying in your mind i'm not intimidated to the narcissist i'm not playing your games to mr or mrs better it says i'm not impressed to the manipulator you cannot use me or control me or to the drama queen quite simply i'm not buying that and equanimity means you're not going to become more defensive you're present you're calm you're fearless you're clear it's like you know it's like a lion walking through the jungle he's not afraid of anybody is he because he knows he's the most powerful and he's the most calm person in the jungle and think about that in terms of um how we can have equanimity as a direct product of meditation how we can have this purposeful daily resilience and practice where we meditate equanimity every time we refrain from reacting to the thoughts and emotions and instead bring your attention back to your object of focus equanimity is a mindfulness armor that we can put up when we get in and around people who have emotional problems narcissism we've just talked about it and the good way of doing that is through meditation and what i'd like us to do now is just close our eyes very quickly and put a picture up let's take a deep breath in just think about everything i've just said and breathe out and out of those six categories i'd like you to bring to mind somebody who sits in those categories the complainer or the antagonist the narcissist mr or mrs is better the manipulator of the drama queen or king and just bring him to mind bring that person to mind and as you bring that person to mind how do they make you feel how do they make you feel and if you've got the complainer in front of you just take a deep breath in as you breathe out say what you're complaining about isn't important what you're complaining about isn't important and i'd like you to bring to mind now an antagonist somebody who knows antagonises you and just say to yourself as you're breathing and you breathe out i'm no longer intimidated i am no longer intimidated until the narcissist take a deep breath in and when you bring this narcissistic person to your mind say to yourself i'm not playing your games anymore to you the narcissist i'm not playing your games anymore and the person who is always better than you mr or mrs better bring that person to mind take a deep breath in and don't attach yourself to it keep that equanimity be present be calm be fearless be clear have that confidence that equanimity can bring and you say to mr or mrs better as you bring him to your visualisation i'm not impressed anymore and to the manipulator somebody who has been over the period just trying to move you in their direction even if you don't want to go there moving you to a different value system even if you don't want to be there say to yourself you cannot use me i'm in control from now on and finally take a deep breath in and just bring to mind the drama queen somebody who has expanded a small situation into a disaster that in the main suits them and say to yourself i'm not buying your exaggeration anymore i'm not buying your amplification of the truth anymore i'm not buying it just sit in that feeling feel now and check in with your body how having done that you feel in control you have this equanimity you are the calm observer of what happens and you can do this in relation to any recurring challenges that you face in your daily life and once the challenge happens for real your nervous system will already be trained to equanimously work on the situation as you're breathing you just bring another person to mind who's trying to take you out of it they're trying to really work you hard they'll say that you're cold or you're indifferent or you're not listening but take a deep breath in and when you get that response again realise that this is a trap this is for you to come out of equanimity come on to the defensive or come on to the attack but don't buy it just show that from your actions that you are listening that you aren't cold and that you are compassionate and engaging but you're just simply not getting emotionally distressed by this anymore developing equanimity through meditation can really help you to protect you from the harm of negative people and the emotion that they bring we know we can show compassion when we need to and we know that we can work with difficult people who are driven by negative emotions and sometimes we just need to put ourselves in their shoes and imagine you're inside their skin and what they've gone through but the six type of people we just mentioned you've just brought to mind and you take a deep breath in you realise that this is symptomatic this is this has happened on many occasions although you offer them loving kindness and the powerful practice of building emotional intelligence and empathy within yourself it's very difficult to change somebody who is completely ingrained just sit with that feeling of equanimity that knowing it doesn't matter what type of person comes your way you'll be able to deal with them you'll be able to recognise them you'll be able to try to help them but when that point of help is beyond then you know you have the protection to be able to walk away without getting emotionally involved to get your breath in and open your eyes and just wiggle your fingers and come back so it's an interesting topic and it's one that we will you know work on in the future but I just thought today we've talked about a lot of things but we're going to be coming out of lockdown most of us are now and going forward that we're going to come back into this relationship and to this activation with people who are in front of us so it's a mindful way of dealing with these people and situations to understand that they're spiralling all the much you might not help them can cause yours and that's not always helpful either so day 96 good afternoon good morning Julian I love you be love and give love and just think about your relationship again change your relationship with the emotions that are attached to these people see if you can help them if you can't then just make your own decisions but don't get caught up in the trap of jumping in and combining and amplifying the issues through emotional entanglement have a lovely day be love and give love and I'll see you tomorrow on day 97 not many to go see you soon take care bye bye

I'm being completely dead, to be honest with you.  That's pretty f***ing horrible.   Horrible animal abuser, that's what it makes you. How do you sleep, Pat and I? That is embarrassing! I don't want to hurt you. Oh, we're going down, it's the gas. We're going to get caught. The meat industry torture pigs in gas chambers, they're scum. We're from Spain. You're from Spain, yeah? They do it in Spain too? Gas chamber in Spain? All in Europe? The meat industry torture animals and lie to you. Are you looking it up, man? No, no, no. I thought you were looking up UK pork industry gas chamber. I do like meat. Yeah, do you? Do you know about...   Bacon, sausage? Yeah, this is a gas chamber, they get tortured in there. CO2 gas? Yeah. I mean, yeah. You don't care? The world is cruel. So why would you donate to people who torture animals? They don't torture them. That's not their intention. Oh no, no, it's very clear. Do you know much about CO2 gas? It's... Yeah, well... It's torture. It's also food. How are we supposed to survive? You think torturing animals is OK for food? What, do you think us starving and... Do you think you need to eat animals to not starve? Well, how come I'm not dead?  So you said I need to eat meat? Or I will not die. So do you need to? You... Yeah. Do you need to? You need nutrition, yeah. You're saying I'm not... They only have any nutrition? Been vegan 10 years. No, I'm not saying you don't have nutrition. So you're saying we have to torture pigs and we will die of starvation? Is that your claim here today?  We need calories. We need calories. OK, and from where? From pigs, from tortured pigs you need calories. Food, yeah. Yeah, so you can eat plant foods, can't you? I can't eat plant foods. Before you said you need to eat these animals and torture them in order to survive, which is a lie. I mean... It's you trying to justify a horrible, horrifying torture. That's what it is. And that makes you a horrible...  That's what it makes you. You need to sustain yourself.  I need to sustain myself. Do you need bacon sandwich? Do you need to sustain yourself? Yeah, and I do. There you go. I do. I could outrun you right now. There you go. I could outrun you right now. Let's do it. I've been vegan 10 years. Let's do it. Yeah. We could have a boxing match right here. Let's have a boxing match right here. A legal boxing match. I don't want to hurt you. No, yeah. But look, these animals are being... That would be consensual, right? That would be consensual. This here is not consensual. This is them being tortured against their will for a flavour, not the survival, like you're saying. If you have to...  I get it. But they're innocent beings being tortured for a bacon sandwich. Like, where do you have...  They can't do anything. And you're being dismissive and, like, disconnected and just like, well, f*** it, that has to happen. It doesn't have to happen. Well, something has to happen. If they're torturing humans in gas chambers, you would probably say, I'm not going to donate my money to them to begin with. That's different there, isn't it? Well, they're both feeling beings. Yeah, but we're not torturing pigs to torture them. But they are being tortured. It's a prerequisite. We're torturing them. It's a requirement. For ourselves. So, say that again, man. I just want to be clear. We're not... It's not the same purpose. So you're torturing to eat them.  Exactly. But we're not... It's not torture, is it? Yeah. It's not torture.    You think torturing to eat someone is okay. And especially if it's done in a humane way... You have no soul. If it's quick, right? I just told you they're being tortured. They're not being tortured, though. This isn't torture. They're suffocating a CO2. It burns them. It forms carbonic acid in them. It burns them. It forms carbonic acid in their eyes, nose, lungs. You know nothing about what you're talking about. And you're saying they're not being tortured. I expose these gas chambers. I'll start the cameras in them. Right. There's a whole documentary about this. But they're not being tortured. Great. Let me ask you a question. Do you think they know they're being put to sleep? It doesn't matter. How does that not matter? A baby wouldn't know either.  You're sick. You're sick.  Bro, I'm being straight up. I'm being completely dead set honest with you.  If you're killing... If they don't know... If you didn't know... If I shot you in the back of the head, is that okay if you didn't know? Come on, man.  If you shot me in the back of the head, I would much prefer that than you coming up to me... I didn't say what you would prefer. Would it be okay to do? Much, much more. Would it be murder? Yes, much, much more than if you just came up... I never said they're being tortured. They feel every second of this. They're not even conscious. They're not like... Dogs are not conscious. No. So dogs, I can torture a dog. It's okay. They're not conscious. They're not the same. I never said if they're the same level. I said... You said they're not conscious. They're not the same level. Animals not conscious now. It's not... Compared to humans, no. No one said compared to. I said, are they conscious? I said compared. You said they're not conscious. No, they're not. Did you go to school? Legitimate question. Did you go to school? It's not the same thing. I dropped out when I was 14. And I know more than you. And I was a gang member. And I have more empathy than you.     And you shouldn't be allowed to express them freely. Because it's people like you that the reason that animals are tortured.  You need to grow a heart first. Grow a heart first and then open your mouth.  Disgusting animal abuser. Disgusting animal abuser. Justifying the torture of sentient beings. Justifying their torture. Are you proud of it? Say it proudly. What's your name? Say your full name. Say your full name. This man here thinks animal cruelty is completely okay. And the animals are not conscious. And they don't experience torture. Well, that's interesting. Because even the meat industry who kill the animals know that the animals experience suffering. True. Even the meat industry who make money off animals know they experience suffering. Which is why they talk about welfare and free range. But you, even the evil meat industry know they are conscious. Even the evil meat industry, you don't think they are. So you have an even worse position than the industry we're fighting against. That's pretty f*****g horrible. That's pretty f*****g horrible. Animal abuser. No soul, no heart, no compassion. Look in the mirror. How do you sleep at night? How do you sleep at night? How do you sleep at night? Okay. Can I ask you a question?  Disgusting animal abuser.  A lion! A lion! Bro! That is embarrassing. Embarassing!   Embarrassing. Embarrassing.  Just no soul. He's watching animals be tortured and he has no soul. No compassion. This is beyond the animal rights issue even. There's a torture issue. They're just torturing them. And I just had no patience for people like that anymore. Well, I will. I do. I can. But this particular moment, I did not hear too many screams of pigs suffering in gas chambers today for... If you're not going to give me like an ounce of... If you're not going to give the animals an ounce of compassion, like, then what compassion does he deserve?  Not even the meat industry does that. Not even the meat industry will say that animals are not conscious and they don't feel anything. Which is why they have all these welfare guidelines and stuff like that. He even said it's okay to torture them if you're going to eat them because it's not torture just for the sake of torture. It's torture for us, for a purpose, yeah. Which is sick. And I asked him if it's okay to torture a person and he said yes. Like, if anyone had those kind of views about human beings or children, like, just disgusting, heartless, cruel views, they would be shouted at, shouted down in public. Probably, who knows what kind of social justice might happen to them. So, like, animals are so behind that people are going to just espouse disgusting views about animals without having any social repercussion. How sick. Even if this guy was talking about, like, if you put up a dog meat sign right now and said you had dog meat, people would shout you down. They would be losing it at you. But this guy here can just espouse disgusting, heartless views about pigs and he thinks it's just fine, socially acceptable. It's totally fine.   She's like, cool. Yeah, that's me. Animal abusing.
