And welcome once again to another edition of the Red Brown and Williams real estate show. I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer Brown Day and Jennifer we can finally say I think spring is here. I think it's here and hopefully with that that means all this cold weather is gone for good. Yeah we technically said spring was here for our last show but the weather was a little bit farther behind so I think we're getting the temperatures now. I hope so. So but that means a lot in your business. It does. That means that we have listings, new listings that are coming on the market constantly. We have people that are deciding to go out and look so it's a very very active time for a real estate market. And we're getting ready because we've got the university here and the colleges and different things like that we're getting ready to I guess vacate a lot of rentals with graduation so it's a rental season also if you're looking to rent or if you're considering maybe putting a property up to rent right now it's going to be a good time but you're going to speak about that in a real estate minute. I am. Okay but right now we've got five listings that are for sale that if you're in the market we're going to show you some of those are in Johnson County I think one in Floyd and a couple in Pike so we've got the whole region represented today. The first one is actually at oil springs. It is which of course is in Johnson County and this is one you're going to go out route 40 to 581 and then you're on Conley Fork Road. I think it's actually Lyft Conley Fork Road. So this is one that it sits on a smaller lot it's only about a third of an acre but this is a completely secluded private third of an acre. This is one you can see in the pictures you know you're a little over 1,300 square feet three bedrooms two bathrooms they did make sure that there was one bedroom on the first floor so if that's of any concern there is one bedroom on the first floor but you can look in it it just has all that log cabin charm you've got the wood everywhere you've got all the detailing that kind of make it feel like a log cabin. And there are a lot of people that are going back to this more simple way of living I think that's a trend that we're seeing now you see the tiny houses which this is not a tiny house by any means we're looking at over 1,300 square feet but it's a more simple way to live out in nature and the best part about this for me is it's adjacent to Painesville Lake and you're getting it with the amenities a lot of times you get this log cabin out in the woods and you have a well or something like that you've got city water with this so you're close enough to Painesville to get those amenities but yet far enough out to where you've got the privacy I think this is the best of everything. Yes absolutely and you can tell I mean you're going to talk about the price here in a second but it's obviously price to sale with everything that that it offers. Right everything close to Painesville adjacent to Painesville Lake this this log cabin and you're going to get it for under 90,000 so 89,000 is the listing price for this log cabin in oil springs so Jennifer this is Cindy Leg's listing so let's give that Painesville office number. That number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Okay now moving on to the next one this one is at Mill Branch in Painesville still in Johnson County but this is one of Kathy Brown's listings. It is and if you're not familiar with real where Mill Branch is it's actually the south side area most people that are familiar with Johnson County are going to know where that is and this actually is very close to that south side free will Baptist Church so that kind of gives you an idea but the great thing is where that is located you are pretty much in downtown Painesville you're right there at Mayo Plaza you're very close to the schools very close to restaurants very close you can walk downtown and that's not even telling you about the house itself and that's a three-bedroom one-bathroom house it is and it is almost 1600 square feet so with a very nice size house and this is one it's kind of set up for you know if you're looking for a starter home if you're a young family something along those lines because like you said it does have three bedrooms one bath it's got an eating kitchen a really nice size living room so it's one that you could actually you know live in that can be the main central for everybody and then it has a fenced in yard if you have kids if you have pets you've got place you know where they're fenced and safe if not you could have a garden you could have anything like that as well so you've got the space to do it and we're telling you all of this the fenced in yard the place for a garden and everything and then we're going to tell you also it's still downtown paintsfield so those are two things that don't usually go together usually sacrifice one or the other to have the other one and not the case in this one again that's 1600 square foot home on mill branch which is practically downtown paintsfield and the price on this one it's not a typo 64 and 9 on the price on this one so hopefully this one's not going to be one's going to stay on the market very long hopefully not and this one is listed by kathy brown who's out of the paintsfield office as well her email cbrown at rbnw.com just give her a shoot her an email call that paintsfield office you'll be able to get a hold of of kathy and she'll get that listing scheduled now the next one is actually moving north on 23 or south on 23 we'll go into floyd county we're going to go to the area of dima if you're familiar with floyd county in that martin wayland area anywhere in that area you're going to actually go towards wayland and then through wayland to the other side and that is dima right it's got three bedrooms one and a half bath you've got just under 1400 square feet so plenty of space but not too much space exactly and then when you move outside you can see in the pictures an attached oversized garage a two-car detached garage additional covered parking with a shed or equipment area you know lawn mowers that kind of stuff you've got a second block building that's storage you've got new doors new windows the roof and the flooring the the hvac system is relatively new within four years so those are a lot of things that that you do worry about when you purchase a new home because you want to know how these systems are but this one everything seems to be relatively new and it's a ranch home so we'll mention that you know if there's any issues with stairs or steps or anything like that you don't have to worry about this one so a great home in the just past the wayland community in floyd county so if you're looking for anything or you would consider anything in the dima area this may be one to look at again another great price on this at 89 000 so this was tom deskens listing he's out of the paintsfield office as well but you may want to give a different number for him yeah i'll give you a cell phone number at<PHONE_NUMBER> all right now we'll end the show with a couple of listings that are your personal listings now these are actually in pikeville in both of these in a great location yes both of them are in this city limits and it's funny you can almost stand at one and throw a rock to the other so in the exact same area the first one is actually a lot of people are familiar with the poly addition you know where the poly bridge is is the the walking bridge uh they're close to your office close to the pikeville office but on the other side you access it across the cassidy boulevard bridge or a lot of people know that is the walmart intersection so right there tells you the location all the shopping all the dining but yet in the poly addition you kind of have some privacy you do a quiet area it is it's a it's at the very end if you don't know it's there a lot of people aren't going to travel down there so most of your traffic is going to be neighborhood traffic you don't have a lot of extra traffic which is a bonus makes it a great area for kids pets that kind of stuff and a lot of people you'll see a lot of bicyclists a lot of people running and walking because of the poly bridge you can access downtown and all of that bypass area so it's for the active community this is a great neighborhood it really is and then talking about the house this is one that you can actually give an accurate description by saying it's a sprawling ranch this is an over 3000 square foot ranch home that sits on over a one acre lot that is one acre of usable pretty very pretty property right and i actually know where this house is so the back of it backs up to almost like a little creek area to where tomson road is but like you said every bit of that yard is usable and it's got a very large yard and i think it's got a couple areas that are fenced in yes so dogs children play area anything like that you don't have to worry about then getting out of that yard exactly and then on the inside it offers two master suites each with a full private bathroom um you could have two or three additional bedrooms depending on how you laid it out you've got office space formal living room a family room um dining room and then a very very nice size um eating kitchen and this is a neighborhood that these homes don't come up for sale very often a lot of the people that live in this neighborhood have lived there for a long time that tells you how nice the neighborhood is once people settle there they don't leave very often uh so this is a great neighborhood again close to uh the all the shopping area the cassidy boulevard pythole commons so you've got all your restaurants and shopping right there which you know if you feel like it you can walk jog ride your bicycle too absolutely you have options and this is your listing this house is priced at three thirty four nine again in the poly addition give jennifer a call stop by your office you'll be able to schedule a showing for this so let's give that pikeville office number that number is<PHONE_NUMBER> all right now as we mentioned but when we talked about that last listing this next listing is very close to that this one is at the bottom of quail ridge it is this one the address is meadow view lane but if you're familiar with quail ridge and you're familiar with where poly addition sits you're almost directly across the street um right there at the bottom of quail ridge like you said right so you'll be able to see like if you're going by tractor supply or buffalo wild wings or the pike county library this one is directly in front of you across the rubber tracks correct that is correct and this is one you know the house isn't very old it was built in 1994 it's a four bedroom two and a half bathroom and almost 2,500 square feet and this is going to be considered more of an executive style home right and this is one love that kitchen the white kitchen with the island and things like that so you know we think of family gatherings this is a great home to invite the family over to absolutely and they did a lot of those renovations especially in the kitchen they added those granite countertops and the stainless appliances and fairly you know recently so a lot of that has been newer and almost 2,500 square feet this one again almost on an acre lot and this one has got a huge front yard it's got a big driveway so this is one you can drive by or both of these two that we just talked about easily to drive by and the price difference isn't much in these so if you want to look at one go ahead and schedule both of those in a showing absolutely we'll we'll take an afternoon and do both and the other thing i want to mention on this one is it does offer a three car attached garage which is a huge selling point especially in the city to have that extra space so make sure to mention that yeah and then you like you said you've got your garage space but then there's that extra one if you've got two cars in your family you can store the boat or maybe a side-by-side or a four-wheeler because this area too does have access to some trails and things like that so a great area both the active community or like the executive style home if this is something you're looking for very close to everything that Pikeville and especially the newer section of Pikeville with shopping and stuff has to offer so this is your listing let's give your email address okay the email is jbrown at rbnw.com the price on this one 389 very similar to the last one so i know that a lot of times you try to do that when someone says this is what i'm looking for this is my price range you can pull up three or four in an area and say well let's just look at multiples in one afternoon absolutely and just remember you know if you do drive by's and you see somebody else's sign still let us have the opportunity to show it to you we can show any property that's listed um with any agent in eastern Kentucky which is another one of the many reasons why it's beneficial to hire or not hire but to ask a realtor to help you find because you don't it's a free service to have a realtor help you find at home if you're looking to buy that doesn't cost you anything yeah absolutely and you know that's what we do so we can easily search for what you're looking for and help you out all right and remember like we mentioned at the beginning of the show if you're looking for any kind of rental property uh you guys do that as well actually i'm going to step out now and let you talk about that green is here and we are nearing the end of school which means a pickup in the housing market including rentals rbnw offers property management services throughout eastern kentucky and has units available in johnson floyd and pot counties in johnson and floyd county we have town homes available in pot county we have units at the potville the potville commons is the premier apartment complex in eastern kentucky offering one two and three bedroom units full kitchen appliances including dishwashers and a washer and dryer in each unit plus we have a brand new media room and fitness facility open to our tenants we invite you to visit potville commons apartments on facebook or instagram to see videos and photos of this complex or our newly redesigned website rbnw.com for information on any of our rental units or homes thank you for joining us for another episode of the red brown and williams real estate show we hope to see you again soon


I just wanted to remind everybody, of course, that we're still having the lab practical midterm this week. The exam two is on Friday. We'll cover up only till Monday's stuff, OK? So everything today won't be on the exam. There's practice exams and solutions are posted. Inez is having her exam review 3 to 4.50 PM on Thursday, right? And what's the rate that is? 118. 118. I have two reviews already. I posted the videos for both of those reviews. The second review, as probably many of you know, doesn't have volume, so I apologize for that. But I've also posted the page of problems that I got, all of the questions that I went over in the review on that same kind of folder in the folder where it says exam reviews on the Blackboard site. So if you want to look for that stuff, you can find the videos of the two reviews I think they're on both like about an hour and a half long, and the problems are there, too.  Let's go over this problem. I don't think we've got a chance to do this last time. So if you recall, gay loosex law is written there. It relates pressure and temperature. So PI over TI equals PF over TF. And if you remember, I means initial, and F means final. So if we look at this, the way I usually do these problems is go ahead and write all of them out. TI equals TI equals PF equals and TF equals. Because this way, you can really kind of figure out which variable you're looking for, and then you can manipulate your equation. So if you look, it says the pressure of a gas is 1 ATM at 273 Kelvin. So 1 ATM must be the initial pressure, 1.001. And it says that it's at 273 Kelvin. So that must be the initial pressure. Remember, if this temperature was in degrees Celsius, you would have to convert it to Kelvin, OK? If you use these temperature measurements in degrees Celsius, you'll get the incorrect answer, OK? And then it says, while you double your temperature to 546, what's the final pressure? So 546 Kelvin is the final temperature. And what are we looking for? The final pressure. Then you can come over here and say, OK, this is the variable we want to isolate. So we just, so we want to get this part out of this side, get the TF off of the right side of this equation. So in order to do that, since we're dividing by TF, we'll multiply by TF. That'll cancel that out. And remember what you do on one side of the equation you have to do to the other side of the equation. So we'll just multiply this side by TF as well. And when we do that, our new equation is TF equals TF times PI over PI. And that's cool because the only thing we're looking for is TF, and we have all of the other variables there. So just come over here and plug in your numbers. So TF is 546 Kelvin PI, which is PI. Notice Kelvin cancels there. And our units are going to be units of ATM. What you have to do is take 546, multiply it by 1, and then divide it by 273, and then write it to the correct number of significant figures of which, in this case, would be 3.0018. And then, as we're on the test, you want to box your answer to show me that you got it right. So that's the last thing we'll be looking at for Friday's test. So everything subsequent to that will be on ATM 3. OK, so let's look at the combined gas law. So the combined gas law is very similar to Boyle-Charles and Gay-Lusak's law. It's actually just squishing all of those laws together. So you can see, hopefully, Boyle's law in it. Here, let's write this down. Maybe if I have enough color to chop it off. Let's circle them all. OK, so I'm going to read. If you remember Boyle's law, that's P i times V i equals P f times V f. So that's the header in it. Gay-Lusak's law, the one we just did, pressure and temperature relation. And Charles law, you can see all three of them are in there. OK, so you just squish them all together and you get the combined gas law. So the combined gas law is used when you're having pressure changes, volume changes, and temperature changes. So not just pressure and volume or pressure and temperature or pressure or volume and temperature. So when you've got more than just the two variables changing, you're going to have to use the combined gas law. So here's an example of using the combined gas law. It says a gas sample has a volume of 2.50 liters when it's at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 1.80 ATM. So let's write down all that stuff. So it says the volume, so it's going to be V i, equals 250 liters when it has a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, the pressure of 1.80. If you saw this, you should be like, OK, we're going to be using the combined gas law because we've got these three variables. More than likely to be using the combined gas law. We've got to see if two of them are going to change and then we'll definitely be. So let's see if we can find V f. Well, no, it looks like that's what we're looking for. We don't know that one. T f is going to be, so since you've got all of these variables, you know that you're going to be using the combined gas law. A lot of times it'll say the pressure is 1.80 ATM and then it's constant or something like that. In those cases, you won't be using the combined gas law. They're just giving you a little extra information to kind of make it a little more confusing. But when two of them change and you've got all three of them and you're looking for the change in the last one, you're always going to be using this combined gas law here. So let's go ahead and manipulate this. So remember the combined gas law, P i, V i. So that's oil's locked over T i. We're looking for V f, which is up here. So what do we want to do? Well, first, we can multiply both sides by T f to cancel out T f, like that. And now we have this equals to P f V f. This V f is still not isolated, so we need to get rid of P f. How do we do that? Divide by P f, like that. And what we do to one side, we have to do to the other side. So now what we need to do is look and make sure we've got our units the same for pressure. So they're both ATM, so that's cool. For volume, we'll just get this one in liters. But unfortunately, our temperatures aren't in kelvin. So we've got to do something to each one of these temperatures. So what is that that we have to do? Add 273. So for that one, it's going to be 373 kelvin. Our values in kelvin, P i, so kelvin's out of there. Cancel, cancel, ATN's out of there. And we get liters here. And that's cool because volumes are liters. So all we've got to do now is over there, just take 373, multiply that by 1 point, multiply that by 250, and then divide that by 303, and then divide that by 3. So unfortunately, because this one only has two sick things. Oh, it's 2.5. Well, let's just do this, this is 250. And we'll put a decimal point there.  So I got under, hopefully, everybody else got that same answer if you didn't go through it a couple more times. And you guys can do a different one up there that's 2.5. Second problem that you might like to try on your own. So Apogadro, there's Apogadro. Apogadro's law is very similar to Boyle, Carlson, and Jay-Lucak's law, except it's the equal volume, or the volume of a gas is proportional to the number of moles. So v related to v and n. And you can see it's very similar, especially to Charles and Jay-Lucak's law, where you've got, or Carl's law, especially, because you've got volume, but instead of super clear, you've got number of moles. And number n is the number of moles. What you'll find is if you do this calculation at standard temperature and pressure, volume per number of moles, you'll get the volume always to be 22.4 liters. And so we consider that the molar volume. That's the volume occupied by one mole of any gas. Apogadro's law, it's more of the same sort of stuff. I'll let you go through this one on your own and see if you can get some sort of answer for that. The density, let's try this one out together. Calculate the density of 4 grams of helium at STP. This one actually is a little more involved than what you would first be thinking, probably by the density. What's the formula for density, does anybody remember? Do we know the mass of this? 4.0 grams. 22.4 liters. How did you figure that out? The molar volume, right? So how do we get, but this isn't moles, right? This isn't moles, this is grams, right? So how did you get that the volume was this? So you converted it to moles, right? So this should be, if it's, the volume is this, this should be one mole of helium, right? That makes sense because remember at STP, one mole of any gas, right? So in this case, one mole of helium is going to equal 22.4 liters, right? So this is the conversion factor that you know. But we don't have, or it doesn't tell us that this is one mole. How did you figure out that was one mole? So how would you figure out? How many moles of helium do we have? So yeah, use the mole, or the atomic mass, right? So the atomic mass of helium, right? Or the molar mass of helium, 0.0 grams per mole. So we've got to figure out the number of moles of helium, 4 divided by 4 is 1.00 mole. If we know that one mole of helium, okay, so this is what you would have had to do. So you don't just say, just because you got some mass here, but that's one mole. You've got to figure out each, you know, each calculation.  So you've got to watch that. You can't just say, just because it says STP, that is one mole. But let's figure this out, okay? So the density, remember, is the mass of the volume. So we've got the mass, so we've got to use that mass. So we're not going back to this moles over here. We just use that moles to figure out the number of liters, right? So we've got that mass divided by 22.4 liters. So it's very important that, you know, you've got to convert mass to moles, okay? You should be so familiar with converting, doing that conversion by now. That shouldn't be too much of a problem when you get to it. Okay, so we talked about the combined gas law. We talked about the individual gas laws. And we talked about molar volume, okay? Let's take all of that stuff and combine it into one more thing, okay? This is called the ideal gas law. And probably if you remember anything from general chemistry or a lot of people what they remember from general chemistry is the ideal gas law. Because it's very easy to get it in your head when you start saying it, I guess. But the ideal gas law is Nr. So if you recall, T is pressure, V is volume, N is number of moles, T is temperature in Kelvin, okay? So for the ideal gas law, the temperature has to be in Kelvin. Of course, it has to be in moles. The volume, it's got to be in liters. The pressure has to be in ATM. So if they're not in these units, you've got to convert them to those units. And that's because this thing here are, okay, this is a constant. What does that mean? It's kind of like a fudge factor, okay? So you've got to multiply these numbers by this constant in order to get these things equal to each other, okay? And so R is always going to be the same. It's written up there, 0.0821 liter, 18. So you'll see it written like this a lot of times.  So you guys remember that it's this divided by this. But that's what we call the ideal gas constant. So the thing is, if your units aren't in ATM liter moles in Kelvin, if you notice the ideal gas constant has these units in it, okay? And your problem won't come out to the right answer if you can't cancel these things out. So that's why you've got to have them in this unit. Okay, so PV equals NRT. And if you look at NRT even a little bit more, what you find is all of the gas laws come from that. Okay? So PV equals NRT. So if we put initial, initial, initial, initial, initial, well, R is the same. Divided that by cancel out like that. So we would get this constant. So if you said number of moles in temperature are constant, you would get PI. So if they were all constant, this would equal 1, right? This side would equal 1. And then you would get PI, VI equals PF, PF, and that's boils law. Okay? You could do that for everything. If you want to hold, I don't know, pressure in number of moles constant, you get Charles law. Okay? If you want to hold temperature and pressure constant, you get Apogadro's law. Okay? So holding two of those constant will give you one of those four laws, Charles, Apogadro's, Gay-Luzak's, or Boll's law. Okay? So it all comes from this equation here. Okay? This equation. And you get that equation from this equation here. Okay? So you can get all of those from... You could do any gas problem using this equation and this equation here. This is if they changed and this is if they stayed the same. Okay? So let's talk about them staying the same, which we haven't done yet. We've just been analyzing saying, okay, if the pressure changes from this to this, what happens to the volume? Okay? Now we're going to look at, well, what if we have the number of moles, temperature, pressure, and the gas constant? Well, what would be the volume of that thing? Okay? So we're not changing it. We're just looking at the state it is now. Let's do this one. What's the volume of gas occupied by five grams of methane, blah, blah, blah? RT, so the first thing we want to do, or the first thing I always do, is write down P, V, and T here, instead of equal to something. Okay, number one, what's pressure? How'd you know that? Kuba says ATM, right? That's pressure. What about me? What's that? What we're looking for, right? That's what we're looking for, is T. Okay? So we've got to do the ideal gas law to figure that thing out. Okay? What about N? What is N? Moles. Yeah, you've got to convert the grams to moles. So we've got to have a different one, too. So we've got M over here. M is 5.0 grams, right? So let's hold off on that thing right now. So it's grams of methane. We've got to do. And temperature, what is that? 25 Celsius. 25 Celsius. But we've got to convert that, too, right? So how do we do that? That's a little easier. 25 plus 273. We still need N before we consult for B, right? So how do we get N from this? We multiply this by 1. So what do we want down here? Grams. Grams. We've got to have that because we don't want grams, right? So this has got to be grams of methane. And what's got to be up here? Moles. Moles. And in fact, it's one mole of methane. So what is this conversion factor? One mole of methane equals how many grams, right? How many grams does one mole of methane equal? Yeah, 16.0. What is it? Something like that. 16.0. How did you get that number? You took C, which equals 12.01, right? Grams per mole. And multiply that, or add that to 4 H's, which equals 1.008 grams per mole. This grams of methane cancel out. Now we get moles of methane. So 5 divided by 16.04. And with this calculation, I'm just going to take it out to a d digits because my final answer is here, okay? For volume here, that's when I'm going to condense it down to the right number of significant digits, okay? So we've got now number of moles, right? So let's put that over here. And we've got moles, temperatures, pressure, and volume. And we're looking for volume. And the ideal gas constant's right in there. So let's erase this and figure out how we solve for volume. Okay? So we've got Pv equals Mrt. But we want V by itself. So what do we have to do? We've got to get rid of P, right? So divide by P. That'll cancel P out. And what you do to one side, you've got to do to the other side. Remember your algebra rules. So P cancels. And what do we get? We get volume equals number of moles times R times T over P, okay? So now let's just plug these numbers in. N is 0.3117 moles. I usually do like that, a big one for R, because I put that line like that. And I say 0.0821 liter ATM. Close brackets. Over one mole. Okay, you might not see this written like this very often. In the books or anything. I like to do it just so we can emphasize what we're canceling out. Okay? So since we've got it written there, I'm going to erase it. So we can kind of put stuff in the place of it. Okay? And then we've got to put RT to 90K. Okay? And then we're dividing the whole thing by pressure, which is 1.0 ATM. So what's the significant digits of the volume measurement going to be 2? How many significant digits? Are you going to have 2? 2, where does that come from? ATM. ATM down there, okay? So let's go ahead and cancel these units out. So look, mole cancels with mole there. Cancels with kelp in there. And ATM, cancels with ATM there. So you've got to think of this as being over one. Right? So that would be the same thing. Without cancels with the kelp. Okay? So when we cancel all those out, all we've got left is this unit there, which is liters, which is cool because volume should be in liters, right? So we've got V equals something liters. And all we've got to do is take that number, multiply it by 0.0821. And then divide that by 1 onto 2, 7.7. Methane, it's 5 grams at 25 degrees Celsius in 1 ATM. This is like Pete's methane bubble. It's probably about the size of one of those things. Well, a big one, right? Because at 7.6 liters, it's kind of big, right? But you might get a good flame out of that thing. Notice the next problem here. I'll let you do that on your own. But it asks for the mass of nitrogen. So you're going to have to convert that from moles back to mass, okay? But it also gives you the temperature and degree Celsius. So you've got to convert that to Kelvin. But it gives you the pressure in millimeters of mercury. You've got to convert that to ATM, okay? So if you remember, do you guys remember how to convert millimeters of mercury to ATM? Yeah, what is this? 1 ATM equals what? 760 millimeters of mercury. Well, 760 millimeters of mercury. So if we said that we got 700 millimeters of mercury. The other thing is we could have gone so far. Remember, if we wanted to ask, well, what's the density of methane gas for the first one? We could have said, well, remember, density equals mass divided by volume. We just learned the volume from doing all that ideal gas stuff, right? And we have the mass given to us 5 grams that we've already figured out in your notebook earlier. Notice these gases are pretty dilute, if you will, not very dense, right? A liter is very big and one gram is not a lot of weight, okay? So if you imagine two grams of this is already bigger than a liter, right? Like 132, 1.32 liters. So that's like that or something.  So you can see the difference between the density of solids and the density of, you know, a gas. Pretty dramatic, you know? Okay, so let's talk about Dolman's Law now. Dolman's Law is a mixture of gases exerts a pressure that's the sum of the pressures that each of the gases would exert if they were present alone under the same conditions, okay? So what does this mean? We have a mixture of gases. The total pressure equals the pressure of one of the gases plus pressure of the other gases plus the pressure of the other gases, okay? So if we look, we want to know, well, what's the pressure of air? Well, if it's at sea level, it's 1 atm. That equals the partial pressure of nitrogen plus the partial pressure of oxygen because those are the two major components of it. Okay, so that's it for the gaseous phase, okay? So the cool thing about that that we're moving on to the liquid phase and then from there to the solid phase is that the gas phase has really been, you know, analyzed to death, if you will, especially in general chemistry courses. Liquid phase and solid phase you don't have to do as much stuff but it's like with these ideal gas. Okay, so that's cool. Okay, so let's look at this liquid state. What I'd like you to see here is this is the same volume of liquid, same solution, but in different containers, okay? So you're probably very familiar with this. The liquids could take on different shapes depending on the container that they're in but notice again they're the same volume. So that's kind of revealing, if you will. So the liquid state is characterized by high density. Remember relative to gases. Remember we were talking about, you know, the methane gas, the density of it is very low, okay? We measure density of gases in grams per liter, right? With volumes or with densities of liquids and solids but with liquids we measure them in grams per milliliter, okay, because they're so much more dense. Solids we measure essentially grams per milliliter, grams per cubic centimeter, okay? But anyway, so high density, indefinite shape that depends on the shape of its container just like what's picture here, small compressibility says very difficult to smash them together, okay? Because the molecules are already, remember, rolling on top of each other. And very small thermal expansion. In fact if you heat liquids up too much, right, they won't expand in the liquid state. What they'll do is go to the gaseous state and expand that way. So practically incompressible. So this enables things like brake fluid to work on your car.  Viscosity is a measure of the liquid's resistance to flow. So if you have a very viscous liquid, it doesn't flow very much. You have a very non-viscous one. It flows quite a bit. It's a function of both the attractive forces between molecules and molecular geometry, okay? So molecules are just like anything else. The shape, their properties depend on their shape. So if they're very, very long and stringy, and they're going to be trying to roll all over each other, it takes them a long time to do so, okay? Or if they're very sticky, they'll stick together and they can't flow very well, okay? So this gives them increased viscosity. So if we wanted to compare something like... So first, stickiness, right? So if we go this way and they're very sticky to each other, right? They'll stick to each other and they won't flow very well, right? Compare that to ones that aren't sticky, right? They'll flow quite easily, okay? So this would be a more viscous, this would be less viscous, okay? So this would be sticky, and this would be not. Different structure. What is the structure of the molecule look like this? It would be harder just for these things to flow on top of each other, because they're just rolling around on top of each other. They would be long and kind of peeling on each other, right? So this also gives more viscosity to liquid. So it's a function of the attractive forces and molecular geometry. Flow occurs because the molecules can fly easily past each other. Glycerol is an example of a very viscous liquid. It's got these kind of attractive forces that make it sticky to other... glycerol molecules. Viscosity decreases with temperature. You've probably seen this on your own. If you heat up like some sort of like honey or syrup or something like that, it flows much easier than it does.  That's one of the reasons. It's also kind of, you know, it's like a sugar molecule that's a couple of sugar stuff together, so it's kind of got a weird geometry and it's got a lot of stickiness. That's why it's viscous, but decreases with increased temperature. Surface tension. I know it's about time to go, but let's just go over this couple of slides. Surface tension is a measure of the attractive forces exerted at the surface of the liquid. So what happens is molecules like to stick together, okay? So when you're at the surface of the liquid, the attractive forces are very great, okay? So if you ever see like water bugs walking on pools of water, it's because they're taking advantage of this inherent stickiness of the molecules at the surface layer sticking to each other and it allows them to put their weight on the water even though they're heavier and more dense than the water. They should be falling through. So the net attractive force is pull the molecules toward each other and that's why raindrops are like spherical in shape or you see beads on like your shower curtain because they want to kind of be next to each other and the easiest way to do that is to form a sphere. A surfactant is a substance that decreases the surface tension. For example, soap. So any sort of soaps will decrease the surface tension and you'll see instead of like beading, you'll see streaking when you put soap into it, okay? So if you have soapy water, those little water bugs, they'll fall through the surface. They won't be able to stand on. And we'll talk about paper pressure next time, okay?


I think it's time to start. Is it working? No. Hello? Good evening. Good evening. I would like to introduce a very special guest tonight, and that's Sam Vaknin. And Sam is very famous, and I googled many things and listened. When I heard he would be our guest, maybe the most famous book is Mattesistic Element, and 50 other different books and many other things. So Sam started this long time ago, and he coined the term Mattesistic Abuse, which is now very much in use the last 10 years maybe, and it's more and more, it becomes like some fashion. And he's a long-term member of the Faculty of Commonwealth Institute for Advanced Professional Studies in Cambridge, U.K., Toronto, Canada, and Lagos, Nigeria, and former visiting professor of psychology in Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don, in Russia. The author has already told 50 books about psychology, international affairs, business, economics, philosophy, and short fiction. So this team tonight is Mattesistic Abuse Detox, deprogramming yourself after the Nazi's shared fantasy. I'm very much interested about that, and I'm glad you are here with us. Thank you. So around 50 minutes is lecture, and after that will be round after break, short break, 50 minutes for questions and answers. I think it might be longer. Okay, and please, your mobiles put on silent. So this was a lecture. Do you have any questions? Okay, ladies and ladies, and ladies, and gentlemen. Yes, don't get angry, I remember. And gentlemen, of course. Thank you for your help. Today I'm going to take you on a tour into a world which is utterly alien, like visiting an alien planet. But everything I'm going to say, I'm going to substantiate it. I'm going to refer to studies, scholars. So as I speak, you can note down the references and study more or go deeper into what I'm saying. Still I'm warning you that what I'm saying is going to sound completely hallucinatory. I tried not to take LSD today, so I'm more grounded than yesterday. But it will sound very, very strange. Before I start, and after all hallucinations, I would like to thank the organizers of this lecture, which is Iwina and Tihana. Tihana and Iwina. And I, in the best narcissistic fashion, gave them a very short notice, very short pre-advice, and still they managed to bring all of you together. I would also like to thank the survivor, my wife, Lidia Rogelowska, long suffering and still here. I don't know what she says about her and me. She's still here. She's also actually an expert on narcissistic abuse. She was the first person I educated 27 years ago. And since then, she has made her own contributions to the field of narcissistic abuse. So sometimes the student is more than the master, exceeds the master, yes? Which is the best situation, actually. Thank you. Okay. A child is born, a child is born and immediately assailed and assaulted by snails and sounds and distractions and stimuli from the environment. Yet the child is not equipped, at least initially, to cope with this avalanche of information. Even as adults, and that's a fact that you can check online, even as adults, here, hello. Yeah, here. Even as adults, we process about 5% of environmental information. 95% is relegated to what is colloquially known as the unconscious. It's the wrong term, but still. Imagine we, as adults, can cope only with 5% of the information. Imagine a baby, a newborn, on the first day, on the second day, on the third day. And yet, within fewer than four days, the baby is able to tell that his mother is in the room. He is able to react to her smile. This is known as reflexive empathy. There are three types of empathy. Reflexive, cognitive, and emotional. Reflexive empathy is when the baby reacts with a smile to the mother's smile. This is medically impossible, as any doctor here would tell you, myself, people, this is medically impossible because the baby's eyesight is not sufficient at this stage to discern the mother's smile. And yet, the baby does react to it. It's one of the biggest mysteries of medicine, of developmental biology. We have no idea how the baby realizes the mother is smiling. Of course, the baby reacts to tactile input to touch. The baby reacts to smell, mother's smell. The baby can tell, probably, differences in gray, like shade and light, and so on. So, by the fourth day, the baby is aware that money is in the room. And an intricate dance begins between the newborn and mother. If the mother gets it wrong, we end up with a narcissist. If the mother gets it right, we end up with a politician. So, you'll have to tolerate my sense of humor. My apologies in advance. It's something Jewish, I assume. The first instinct of the baby is to be seen. The baby is programmed from birth, actually within the womb, to attract the mother's attention. The baby needs to be seen in order to survive. So, being seen, being noticed by other people, is not hubris, is not narcissism, is not grandiosity, it's a survival, it's a survival strategy. We need to be seen, and if you don't believe me, go to any social media. We need to be seen. It starts at age four days. The baby cries, for example, is accused, crying is a cure for mother, to attract her. But then the need to be seen has a secondary, a second function that is not often discussed. So, the first function is survival. A baby that is not seen is a dead baby. I'm sorry to say. Because mother will not feed such a baby, mother will not take care of such a baby. So, baby needs to be seen in order to survive. But that's the second function. That the baby is able to tell the existence of only one object. And that is mother. I never said that the baby is able to tell that he or she exists. The baby is not aware, of course, that he or she exists. He's aware only of the existence of mother. So, how come, how do we develop the sense of self, selfhood? How do we become individual? How can we tell at what stage can we tell that there is we as opposed to the rest of the world? This depends on mother. Mother's gaze, the baby becomes through the eyes of the mother. When the baby sees itself reflected in the eyes of the mother, the baby experiences trauma, a shock, a schism. The world is broken because the minute the baby sees itself through the mother's eyes the baby realizes I am not mother. I am not mother. There's mother and there is something which is reflected in mother's eyes and is not mother. So suddenly the world is binary. Because the world starts as a monolith or monopole, it becomes binary and gradually the baby around age six months the baby begins to understand that this reflection is himself. Because when mother moves her eyes the baby is not reflected. Exactly, this happens exactly in experiments with monkeys. When we put monkeys in front of a mirror they gradually begin to identify themselves in the reflection in the mirror and of course the person, the scholar psychoanalyst who analyzed this phenomenon to the maximum is Jacques Lacan the French Jacques Lacan, who by the way looks like my identical twin. You don't have to believe me, go on. He looks as if we were identical twins and his main topic was narcissism. I was born and he died. I'm not sure there's a connection between the two events but it's a distinct possibility if you believe in reincarnation. So the mother's gaze gives the baby the first taste of separateness self-hood being not mommy.  So mother is the universe. So the break is not only with mother the break is with the whole world. This is a major trauma which is neglected a lot in the literature. This is something again neglected in literature. When you perceive yourself as not someone else a trauma there's a trauma there that is triggered I will discuss it a bit later I call this process othering the ability to perceive others. Okay. What happens so let's summarize this part mother's gaze defines the separateness of the child and allows the child to begin the process of developing a self. Language issue. Freud called it ego cohort called it self I mean I'm talking about the same thing this core identity which defines to yourself who you are this misperception that you are continuous that there is continuity of course it's total nonsense there is no continuity but you like we all deceive ourselves to believe that we are continuous. This continuity is the self.   I am not going to say he is her ok? the child becomes his own object so Freud said that the child develops narcissistic libido rather than object libido rather than object love so the child redirects the elation and merges or fuses or develops symbiosis with himself now this is completely here but this is exactly what happens and we know for example that this happens, we know that there is no object libido in such cases because of something, because of many indications and one of them is known as auto-evotism auto-evotism is when you are sexually attracted to your own body when you are your own sex object when you are your own love object in classical terms when the eros part of the libido is directed at itself so auto-evotism has been observed and absolutely documented in laboratories that reject Freud laboratories that reject all these, anything before 1980 still documented auto-evotism so we know that there is a redirection of energy at the self that has a sexual component but also a kind of mother component in other words emotional investment so it's sexual and emotional because of this because the energy which should have been given to mother as a gift the gift of being one with mother the gift of of what we call secure base mother is a secure base safe environment instead of this we get a child who is essentially abandoned neglected terrified and then the child lies to itself deceives itself and says it's okay, I'm here I don't need mother, I'm here I'm my own secure base I'm my own sex object I'm my own love object I can love myself and that's efficient I don't need to love anyone else and this kind of child fails in two functions it fails to develop what we call internal working model it fails to develop a model of the world and how he operates in the world and how other people operate in the world why? because his energy goes inward it does not go outwards it does not at this stage at least he has no access to the outside world and he fails to develop this model which is super critical model for functioning later in life another task another function that he fails is called mentalization the ability to deceive or speculate about how other people's minds work what makes other people think ok? so he fails to develop this because he is not in touch with other people he is in touch only with himself in other words there is no friction with reality and when there is no friction with reality there is no growth and no development end of story the child in other words remains stuck at what age? 2 to 3 years this kind of person remains stuck the latest at age 3 years more typically 2 years how long? until he dies so you see people 63 years old and there are still 2 years old in emotional terms there could be prime ministers there could be professors of psychology there could be and there are still 2 years of emotional history do not confuse executive functions emotions or effects and with cognitions that people tend to make total confusion you could have a thriving career but still be very childish in front of in many ways and then something a cataclysm then a cataclysm happens anyone wants to live, please feel free honestly I will not be offended I will cry a little in the toilet a little no seriously no no I offer this door to sit here no no you can live anyone wants to live can live no seriously no and now something cataclysm happens you remember that this kind of child cannot separate from mother consequently cannot become an individual at all cannot become an individual and therefore cannot develop any of the hypothesized structures of the psyche now never mind what name you give this you can call it ego no one captured an ego in a laboratory and spoke to it these are all metaphors but I was surprised for you I have a PhD in physics and most of physics similarly built on metaphors quark no one captured a quark this is all dark matter dark energy as ether so don't feel inferior because you are using metaphors that don't have the equivalent in a laboratory this is nonsense it's the same in physics so this kind of child does not develop an ego in Freud's terms or doesn't develop a self in Cohen's terms in other words this kind of child fails to develop a core identity the feeling of continuity and the feeling of not being other people now this is crucial there are two aspects to core identity there are two aspects I am the same person that I was yesterday even if I gained like me 15 kilos I am still the same person that I was yesterday that's the delusion of continuity it's a delusion I'm coming back in December we can dedicate a lecture to this it's a delusion but it's a very powerful delusion a very useful delusion especially legally so there's this delusion and the second function is to say there's me and I am not you I'm not others these are the two functions of the set when you don't have a self when the self fails to constitute or be integrated and you don't have an ego the main function of the ego is contact with reality the ego has many functions by the way not only this but the main one is contact with reality assessing reality properly providing feedback and preventing all kinds of misbehaviors that could have adverse horrible consequences that's the ego's role so when you don't have an ego you have no contact with reality you misjudge reality dramatically and catastrophically when you don't have a self you don't realize that other people are not you and you are not other people can you digest this as far as analysis is concerned for example because analysis don't have an ego and don't have a self I'm describing the etiology of narcissism for those of you who do not understand this is how narcissism unfold the narcissism regards everyone as part of a colony a hive like bees or ants or NPCs in video games there's no there's no me and them there's no external and internal I will come to it a bit later this is so difficult to conceptualize but you must if you wish to understand the narcissism because he doesn't have the instruments that allow him to perceive reality appropriately he has what we call impaired reality testing and he doesn't have the self and ego which would tell him this is you and all others are not you this is very crucial in narcissism he has something which I call othering failure he cannot perceive the separateness and externality of other people not only he doesn't perceive that they are separate from him he doesn't perceive that they are outside he believes he experiences other people as if they are inside his mind it's totally crazy he projects other people he experiences them as internal objects because he cannot perceive separateness and externality he cannot do other things okay and so this failure of telling external apart from internal leads to a cascade of other failures for example one of the main ways one of the main ways that we become social creatures we know how to function in society we have sexual spirits, social spirits and so on so forth mores, norms and so on one of the main ways is known as socialization there is a process of socialization now there are socialization agents mother and father mainly father by the way they are social creatures but there is another process equally important so there is socialization and another one the other one is known as modeling it was first suggested by Bandura in social learning theory modeling but marcesis as a child cannot model because to model to adopt a model to emulate father to imitate mother this process was first described in depth by Edith Jacobson so to do this to accomplish this you need to recognize that mother and father are external imitation is a form of internalization of an external object and if you're incapable of accepting that other people are outside you you cannot model there's a modeling failure this is catastrophic consequences in the life of the marcesis because his clueless is very reminiscent to an autistic person it's very reminiscent of autism spectrum disorder in this sense so there's a modeling failure and finally because there is no external internal and non-modeling and all this and all that is left behind is huge emptiness the marcesis is an absence pretending to be a presence the marcesis is emptiness pretending to be existence the marcesis is a black hole pretending to be a star there's nothing there I want you to understand that there's basically nothing there there are no internal psychodynamics in marcesis it's all coming from the outside it's all important regulation of sense of self-worth reality testing you name it it comes from the outside inside nothing happens this is also typical of borderline personality disorder but in borderline personality disorder there are mitigating factors people with borderline personality disorder have more empathy more empathy than marcesis people with borderline personality disorder are capable of experiencing emotions they are actually overwhelmed by emotions a process known as dis-regulation so they are far apart from marcesis not the same but both of them in both these disorders we have this internal emptiness how do we know that there's a black hole you cannot see a black hole it swallows the light we know that there is a black hole by the behavior of the objects around the black hole there's a black hole as a gravitational field and objects around the black hole behave in strange ways they emit x-rays they behave in strange ways so then we know there's a black hole same with the marcesis the marcesis dis-regulates everyone around you the marcesis ricks havoc and chaos wherever he goes and it is by observing other people's reactions actually that we can safely diagnose marcesis because if you're trying to diagnose marcesis via tests interviews that's marcesis there's no one to talk to so I think it's a major mistake to try to treat marcesis with adult psychology or adult psychotherapy they're not adults you need to use child psychology and child psychotherapies combined with trauma therapies so today we're making big mistakes when we are trying to, for example strike a therapeutic alliance with the marcesis it's ridiculous so do your own at some point you will throw a temper tantrum and leave there in the clinic tell you to f off that's what you're doing so the marcesis is this black hole it's this emptiness and we call it the clinical term empty schizoid core and you can read about the empty schizoid core in auto-calibates work Jeffrey Seinfeld's work they are the two major ones an auto-calibate just released a few months ago just released a book called emptiness and hate where he describes the empty schizoid core with the latest findings so it was published I think in August so there is this walking talking simulation of a human being built on as a shell built on an emptiness emptiness that is active emptiness emptiness that is soliciting emptiness that draws you in emptiness that manipulates you and how to communicate this you are listening to me and some of you are doing this probably because you are falling asleep but how to how to a late one but but how to how to communicate this can you really understand what I am saying what does it mean to be an emptiness none of you except analysis is a model none of you have experienced this none of you you have experienced some kind of presence internal presence and of course external presence because you have been affirmed your received feedback that you exist but still you need internal component how can you not be how can your existence consist and subsist of not be that is something that is extremely difficult and then you need to resort to philosophers like Heidegger and Sartre existentialist you need to go much much deeper to understand this concept of not being because even the greatest thinkers they were talking ultimately about the authentic self the authentic self they said yeah this is fake, this is empty, this is this but if you dig deep you will find the authentic self there is nothing to find nothing to find, never mind how deep you dig and there is nothing to dig as well at the time that the person should have become at the time where the child should have acquired person-wounded the child failed there was no self, no ego and no contact with reality and no distinction between external and internal finally I want to make a comment about the unconscious Freud was a bit of a plagiarist some of you may know of ten major concepts in Freud's work about eight were taken from others sometimes with credit, sometimes not one of them is the unconscious it's not Freud's invention it was a plagiarist but there is a big debate in psychology about the unconscious the Freudian approach and later his daughter and many others this school says that the unconscious is the seat of repressed wishes wives and urges I'm simplifying of course but generally speaking it's the seat of repression and there's another school and then other school says that the unconscious is the internalization of other people is the sum total of interactions with other people it's the relational unconscious I mentioned Lacan regards the unconscious as relational but there are others there is Zach Sullivan who was the father of interpersonal psychology so the unconscious is the sum total of interactions with other people but imagine what it says about the narcissist the narcissist is incapable of interactions with other people because the narcissist is incapable of perceiving the existence of other people there's no externality and no separateness according to Lacan the narcissist is possibly the only creature without an unconscious the only creature which is totally conscious what you see is what you get a mirror reflection this deep, nanometer deep is not that because according to Sullivan also there are no interpersonal relationships which create the unconscious Lacan said that it's created through the language I don't want to mislead you it's other people speak to the individual and the language is internalized what they say is internalized and the language shapes the unconscious never mind all that when you don't recognize the existence of other people according to many major scholars you cannot have an unconscious we have here a human being allegedly so in this kind of human being for example wishes would be totally conscious and because this kind of human being doesn't have an ego there would be no control on the wishes the wishes would be uncontrollable they cannot be repressed because it's not unconscious and they cannot be controlled because it's not ego there's nothing there to inhibit the narcissist as an example similarly if the narcissist has a drive some kind of drive let's take an example a sex drive this is a beautiful woman if he's a man or a heterosexual man and he wants to have sex that's a drive in a healthy person there is a whole process of repression and this I'm not going into it the healthy person can even sublimate the drive he can convert it to socially acceptable in other ways and so he cannot he cannot repress the urge and he cannot reframe the urge or transform it he cannot sublimate it he cannot do anything there's no ego no self, no external, no internal no unconscious, no nothing nothing and here we're beginning perhaps to realize and this is something controversial that I've been saying for more than 30 years and got me a lot of flak criticism it's I see the narcissist is not human I'm sorry but if you don't have empathy and you don't have unconscious and you don't have emotions and you don't have the ability to distinguish other people as external and you don't have separation what do you have it's a drive machine it's Freud's ideal drive machine like Freud at the beginning early Freud he later regretted it but early Freud said that we are all machines devices driven by drives you know and we need to find these drives control them and so on this is Freud's drive machine so yeah, of course biologically it's human it has a heart, it has kidneys, liver some of them have brains no, that's not what defines a human being as we will discover in 200 years we will have androids with all these organs and they will not be human beings that's how it defines human beings they are sentient many of them are intelligent but so is artificial intelligence I have serious doubts whether we are talking about human beings I think it is possible to frustrate or thwart or distort the developmental pathway in early childhood so as to produce I don't know a mutant, I don't know how to explain not a human being something that is so divorced from what makes a human being so alien that maybe we should not use this term anymore, at least got me a lot of criticism, hatred ok, now let's talk a little about some of the mechanisms in action let's talk a bit about the mechanisms in action in narcissism these are general mechanisms and then the cherry on the cake, I kept it to the end in order to keep you here, this is called a postage situation and we Israelis have a lot of experience the first part has to do with interpersonal relationships especially romantic it's a tune, don't go away but until then you have to suffer because Jordan Peterson says that suffering is very important in life and so did Buddha they didn't look the same I'm going to describe now what is known as psychodynamics of pathological narcissism and its expressions so it's like an overview of the typical narcissism and then later the third part is relations first of all as you all know some of you know there's a book called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual it is in the text revision of the fifth edition published I think two years ago and within this book which is essentially written by the insurance industry the pharmaceutical industry in the light state I'm sorry to say within this book narcissistic personality disorder is one of four disorders which together are known as cluster B cluster B is also known as dramatic erratic cluster and so the cluster B includes narcissistic anti-social not psychopath common mistake anti-social personality disorder histrionic personality disorder the problem with there are numerous problems with cluster B numerous problems with the DSM but the numerous problems with specifically with cluster B first of all the comorbidity is enormous in other words it's very common to diagnose one or two or three in the same patient so typically for example you have borderline and narcissism you have narcissism and psychopathism this is a very powerful indication that something is wrong that the clinical entities are not well defined that's the first problem there's another problem called the polythetic problem I'm not going to it this is not a lesson on DSM so there are serious problems with this decentralization of the and it's all a bit like this it's like a list of criteria the second major problem or the third polythetic problem it's also a major problem with it the third major problem is that the list of diagnostic criteria is mostly behavioural not etiological not dynamic psychodynamic but behavioural if you behave in certain ways you're diagnosed which I think is a major disaster I mean methodological disaster because take for example the psychopath someone with antisocial personality they don't like rules and laws they're aggressive they're a bit criminalized they are so how does that make them mentally ill they're defined they're defined, they hate society, they hate authority so do I by the way I don't see any hint of methodical disaster I see problems with social norms social mores, compatibility conformity, adaptation conical everyone I don't see any mental illness so there's a huge problem in the very foundations of the disease be that as it may narcissistic personality disorder which is the extreme form of pathological narcissism is in cluster D now within narcissistic personality disorder we have a subtype it's about 3% of narcissists when I say narcissists from now on people diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder not A-horns not jerks not your current partner but people diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder or X-part within this group about 3% are a very seriously bad combination of narcissists, psychopath and sadists this small group are known as malignant narcissists they were first described by Cunber malignant narcissists it was the old name today we call them psychopathic narcissists so we have Roni Stam if you want to read Cunber now malignant narcissists are simply narcissists who use psychopathic not that malignant narcissists are narcissists that use psychopathic behaviors to obtain the only outcome the narcissists is interested in attention so most narcissists behave pro-socially they conform to society they work within society think Donald Trump but malignant narcissists adopt psychopathic behaviors they criminalize, they are defined they are cruel, they are brazen they are careless, they are ruthless and they use this psychopathic leverage to obtain narcissistic psychology to obtain attention the goal is always attention for reasons that I will explain soon but the methods different now as you begin to see pathological narcissism is a post-traumatic disorder, the child is traumatized child can be traumatized in a variety of ways but not being seen is a great way to be traumatized so this is a post-traumatic condition it involves like all traumatic conditions it involves defense mechanisms such as dissociation so dissociation is very common in borderline personality disorder actually it's one of the diagnostic criteria of borderline personality disorder and dissociation is equally common among narcissists there's a lot of dissociation going on memory gaps and what the narcissist does he bridges the memory gaps he tries to explain to himself and to others what might have happened what probably happened what plausibly happened what must have happened and this is called confabulation confabulation is common among psychotic patients also and we're beginning to see that there are many many many commonalities between pathological narcissism and psychosis this was not regrettably I'm not the first to say this the first to say this was auto-carnival borderline borderline means on the border between neurosis and psychosis that's why it's borderline and in Schoenberg's work borderline is narcissism it doesn't make the distinction it's the same one group one family I agree for whatever its work narcissism has many elements of psychosis I'll give you one example I told you that the narcissist cannot tell the difference between external and internal so when the narcissist looks at you you become an internal object it doesn't see you as external it does not perceive your separateness now this is of course psychotic in psychosis there is confusion of internal objects as external the psychotic has a voice it thinks the voice is coming through there yes? so internal object is misidentified an introvert is misidentified as external in narcissism an external object is misidentified as internal so narcissism is the mirror image of psychosis the left hand and right hand of psychosis in effect and like in psychosis there's trauma there's dissociation there's another thing called hyperreflexivity hyperreflexivity is expanding outwards to include the world so digesting the world so stimulating the world so to speak I will go into this there are self states in cluster B situations there are self states if you want to read more about self states the guy who came up with the idea is called Philip Bromberg Philip Bromberg and I built on his work I adopted his work to pathological narcissism if you go on my channel YouTube channel there are videos about self states pseudo identities ego states sub personalities and so on so they all have self states self states is simply when you switch from one type of identity to another and of course if you don't have an identity then you have only self states and in both borderline and narcissism there is something called identity disturbance or identity diffusion not stable identity because it's empty if it's empty you can pour wine you can pour milk you can pour water it's empty so one day you're milk one day you're wine, one day you're water one day the borderline believes that being cheating the partner being engaging in infidelities horrible and the next day she does it and one day the narcissist believes that he's going to be a great writer and the next day he's a businessman there's no constancy of goals, beliefs values and so on because there's no identity similarly there is no constancy of external objects because there's no perception of external objects so they don't have object constancy the narcissist doesn't have object constancy and the borderline doesn't have introject constancy so much to say and I apologize if I'm giving you only the headline but I'm giving you keywords that you can later search until you get very very old and then you can hand it over to your next generation which would please me know it next a critical a critical dynamic in otological narcissism is known as narcissistic supply narcissistic supply is a fancy name that I borrowed from early 1937 psychoanalytic literature and I really find it for narcissism today's use is my work actually so narcissistic supply is a fancy word for attention attention could be positive and negative if the narcissist is feared if people fear the narcissist that's narcissistic supply if people think that the narcissist is the worst criminal ever a demonic maniac that's narcissistic supply of course if they admire the narcissist adulate the narcissist listen to the narcissist lecture about class to be that's also narcissistic supply okay so narcissistic supply is crucial another concept because I've been using this concept so it's like giving you a dictionary another concept is external regulation we regulate healthy people we regulate the internal environment by themselves you regulate your own emotions you regulate your moods and above all you regulate your sense of self-worth sense of self-worth is simply knowing who you are your advantages and disadvantages shortcomings, limitations, skills, talents as this comprises self-esteem of confidence in a package known as self-worth as usual the narcissist regulates everything emotions, cognitions sense of self-worth from the outside everything is coming from the outside so you can affect the narcissist mood by telling him you're not a genius you're an idiot so that would affect the narcissist try it on me it would affect the narcissist mood you have the capacity to dysregulate to render the moods of the narcissist lay by you have the capacity to dysregulate the narcissist emotions to some extent negative emotions like envy anger the famous narcissistic rage so this is called external regulation now in borderline external regulation is total the borderline hands over her regulatory functions usually to an intimate partner or to a special friend and then that person regulates the internal world of the borderline she outsources her mind which explains why she panics when the borderline develops intimacy it means that her mind she is out of her mind her mind belongs to someone else and that creates a most panic someone has engulfment anxiety and so the borderline approaches you and avoids you approaches you and avoids you which is known as approach avoidance repetition compulsion and so there's a famous saying I hate you don't leave me the same about borderline so external regulation is critical in narcissistic and borderline disorders next is self-supply when the narcissist fails to obtain supply from people he gives it to himself if no one says he's a genius he tells himself you're a genius and that usually is enough because as you remember there's only the narcissism it's total solipsism even you are just figments in the narcissist mind you're just NPCs you're just representations, avatars snatchers, I call them snatchers clinical term, introjates you're just so self-supply would make sense because only the narcissistic exists whether he uses this internal object or that internal object is not relevant any internal object to do okay so self-supply another concept is narcissistic collapse it's when the narcissist fails to obtain narcissistic supply on a regular basis so that causes collapse not failed narcissism you will find online many people say failed narcissism no that's a mistake collapse narcissism there is failed narcissism but it's something completely different so concept of collapse and when the narcissist collapses he switches between types from overt to covert so there's switching taking order same happens with borderline when the borderline is faced with a collapse for example when she anticipates abandonment or experiences rejection or humiliation and so on she switches clinically she becomes a secondary psychopath so this is very important and finally I will discuss objects good objects in narcissism and then we will go to the romantic relationships and so on and so forth put on music, incense lighting okay but if I may suggest when I finish this section tell me if I because for me you're internal object so if I may suggest why don't we take like 5 minutes break I can continue forever because I love this maybe now maybe now no no no let me finish this section let me finish this section probably none of you will return with my favorite audience self supply yes finally okay so the last thing in this section the last thing in this section is objects you remember that when we were all much younger we discussed the concept of bed object which is a constellation of voices or correlation of voices that inform you that you are somehow negative self-legate you that you are bad or whatever there's another type of object is known as the good object the good object is balanced is grounded in reality good object is not you're all perfect sometimes you're good sometimes you're bad so the good object is the result of proper integration of the splitting when the mother is put back together it's partly good partly bad that's a kind of good object so good object and there is idealized object idealized object is when you believe or when the voices tell you that you are totally perfect that you're amazing that you are godlike this usually comes from parental figures parental figures that idolize the child idolize the child place the child on a pedestal tell the child that he can do no wrong in his perfection and everyone else is wrong the teachers are wrong the peers are wrong so these messages accumulate accrue and they create an idealized object and narcissists have one of two objects they never have a good object as narcissists are not grounded in reality they don't have a reality testing in tough reality testing so they cannot have a good object but what they do have many of them have a bad object and many of them have an idealized object a godlike object the narcissists who have a bad object compensate for this bad object because these voices are intolerable imagine that you have someone who keeps criticizing you telling you that you are wrong and so on in short imagine your marriage so you know it's unbearable it's intolerable so the narcissist compensates for this and he compensates for this by pretending to be everything opposite to the bad object everything the bad object tells him he is saying the opposite so the bad object tells him I don't know you are stupid this is not a genius this is a compensatory mechanism and this is known as the false the false self is a term developed, not invented but developed by many people so the false self is actually a kind of compensation for the bad object or the idealized object if the narcissist has an idealized object then there is no compensation the narcissist believes that he is a godlike there is no need for compensation typically overt grandiose narcissism if the narcissist is a bad object and compensates for it by pretending to be going like lying to and so deceiving in certain others that is then we get typically not always a covert narcissism vulnerable, fragile, shy narcissism these are all the neighbors so these are two types of narcissism and their etiology is very different because the bad object narcissists was raised by parents who were critical, who were harsh or disciplinary and the idealized object narcissists was raised by parents who spoiled him pampered him, worshiped him admired him told him he could do no wrong and he is better and so on and so forth so this is the sort of clinical background and when some of you come back, those of you who are brave enough and or might then we will discuss what happens to the narcissists the poor narcissists in romantic relationships as an example of interpersonal relationships, everything I would say in the third section about relationships, interpersonal relationships apply to all interpersonal relationships the narcissist interacts with his best friend with his boss with his colleagues with his intimate partner with his children, identically it's the same mechanism but I'm going to give as an example an intimate romantic relationship because first of all that's the most common experience second most common is being a child of a narcissist and also it guarantees that most of you will stay here it's a miracle that wishful thinking wishful thinking yes, wishful thinking, exactly magical thinking


This is a jar of water a jar of sea water to be precise. It doesn't look like much But in here could be the key to the next science breakthrough Welcome to the world of plankton a tiny floating micro habitat full of strange creatures and There's one plankton in particular that could start making waves in science Plankton are everywhere in the ocean a mixture of tiny plants and animals plankton floats with the currents and tides forming the basis of the entire ocean ecosystem It's a world that fascinates marine biologist Aki Masenaga of the Oist Lusk amulet For me plankton are very interesting because most of them are so small and hard to see But when you actually look at them underneath the microscope you'll be amazed by how diverse they are In terms of their color and shape so because they're so diverse. It's almost like looking at art Not only they are visually interesting But they are very important because they are at the bottom of the food chain So that means they become food for larger animals like fish and even whales Some species of plankton are becoming tiny titans able to show us cutting-edge views on genetics Evolution morphology and much more besides Some are evolving so quickly. They're forming separate tribes But before we can learn about them We have to catch them first We sample plankton twice a month from a harbor nearby the Institute The method we use is very simple First we just throw in a bucket to scoop up some surface water and they are usually in there and we also use this small plankton net to get a concentrated sample and The mesh size of the net is about 100 microns So anything smaller than that will pass through the net Whereas anything bigger will be captured and get trapped and then eventually collected in the bottom We record certain parameters that could potentially influence the abundance of plankton such as water temperature salinity and so on. A Single haul can scoop up scores of animal and plant species Some are just plankton part-time like fish and crustaceans in their larval stages But others spend their entire lives as drifters But Aki is looking for one kind of plankton in particular


Item number SCP-239 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures SCP-239 is to be kept within a one-room cell furnished with one bed, one EKG machine, and one IV to be filled with pentobarbital mixed with data expunged to be refilled daily. Under no circumstances is SCP-239 to be removed from her containment area at any given time. The walls of this cell are to be coated in a telekill-led alloy. Only Class 2 personnel are allowed any contact with SCP-239 at any time. All personnel guarding SCP-239's containment area are to be equipped with telekill headgear SCP-148 Subject's proper name is Cigaro Stephens-Dautier. Under absolutely no condition should the subject ever be awakened. Any personnel found attempting to awaken the subject will be immediately terminated. Description SCP-239 appears to be an eight-year-old girl one meter in height and 20 kilograms in weight. Subject has shoulder-length blonde hair. Upon closer inspection, the subject's eyes shimmer a gray-green shade. Subject seems to emit a previously undiscovered form of radiation, which has been named These waves seem to be harmless in low concentrations, but in higher concentrations, they could break down matter on a subatomic level. SCP-239 seemingly has the ability to do whatever she expresses a will to do. Put simply, the subject can do anything that she truly wants to do on a basal psychological level as long as she is conscious. Fortunately, she only seems to be able to affect herself and her immediate surroundings. Therefore, if she can see it, she can change it. It would not be the most prudent course of action, however, to try to test how powerful she can be. She seems to be able to create and affect living matter. For example, when a D-class personnel accidentally caused her harm, she simply wished him away. Fortunately, when the subject was made to feel guilty for what she had done, she wished him back. SCP-239's self-preservation instinct makes her virtually invincible while she is conscious. Subject's skin cannot be punctured by anything, excepting SCP-148. As a method of controlling the subject's ability, she has been told that she is a witch. This, besides improving morale greatly, makes her believe that she is unable to use her abilities outside of a pre-approved list of spells given to her by the SCP Foundation. This will hopefully prevent any and all attempted escapes. However, the subject is to be kept calm at all times to prevent any subconscious wish of harm to herself or others. Origin SCP-239 came to the attention of the Foundation very soon after her birth and approximately three hours after Subject's birth, the hospital was destroyed by an unexplained explosion. The press was informed that it was due to a gas leak. SCP teams were dispatched shortly to search the site for any abnormalities. The only living person they were able to locate was SCP-239. For the next eight years, the subject was raised under SCP care. As of 2000, the subject is to be kept in a medically induced coma until further notice. This decision was made by Data Expunged. SCP-239 is permanently contained in Site-17. Note from Dr. R. R. dated 12-26-04. Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to tell her about Santa Claus, and then tell her it was just a story? Now we have another potential SCP to deal with, but we can't catch him because he is magic. Dr. A. Kleff's report My analysis of the situation has led me to the conclusion that SCP-239 is an unacceptable containment and security risk. Although several proposals have been made regarding using her for containing other SCPs, the example of SCP-953 and others must serve as a stark reminder of the risks of overestimating the Foundation's ability to control SCPs with reality-altering powers. I would therefore like to make the following proposal. A piercing implement will be constructed of SCP-148, capable of penetrating SCP-239's otherwise impenetrable skin. This tool will be used to kill SCP-239 while she is asleep, and her powers are neutralized. Because of the danger of SCP-239 awakening and resisting termination, it is my recommendation that the selected operative carry SCP-668 as well in order to minimize complications. One of the dangers of this procedure is the possibility that SCP-239 will awaken and perceive the operative as a friend or good person, thus changing reality to match. It is for this reason that I would like to volunteer to carry out the procedure personally. A review of my personal file should indicate that my data expunged should allow me to carry out the operation even after a reality shift of this nature. Clef Lesson Complete If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-238, Building Complex, right now, or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


news update. Good morning folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of very sunny and pleasant Delray Beach, Florida. This year, 9 a.m. update and currently have U.S. equity futures trading the downside. Dow futures are off 240 points. That's about seven tenths of a percent. The Nasdaq is off 70 points about six tenths. The S&P eight tenths around 32 points. The E-mini rustles off 15 points about seven tenths there. Spot politics to trade above its 50-day expense moving average. That is always troublesome out there. Gold's off five bucks. Silver's down 33 cents. Light's recruited up four bucks. Trading out a $1.1914. Natural gas down 20 cents. Trading out an $8.52 and a 30-year treasury. She's trading out at $138.30. That is down two full points as we speak right now. That is the September contract. So if you take a look at Friday's action out here, bullish as can be as price took out prior swing points. These are the daily time frames for the Dow. Each of these have confirmed buy patterns out here. That means confirmed Gertley buy patterns or buy the D-point patterns. There's a wave seven pattern inside the Russell out there. So everything's got bottoms and price has taken out prior swing points out there. So everything looks mighty bullish. However, the fly in the financial ointment is going to be that spot volatility. So if we go take a look at it, the spot volatility right now is trading just slightly above its 50-day expense moving average. That's at $27.47. $27.95 is the print. If the spot volatility closes above that 50-day expense moving average today and then again tomorrow, you need two consecutive days. But if it just closes above it today, that's going to suggest lower price. And we'd go take a look at areas of support out here. Well, those areas of support, we gave those to you really during the Traders Ed Show that we just came off of. And that was really coming from the two-hour timeframe charts. Each of them have TD-9 count bottoms. So folks, if price closes below those lows, $41.21.50 in the ES, that's going to suggest a move to $40.51. The NQ, a close blow $12.615, is going to suggest a move to $12.244. And the Dow, a close blow $32.894, $32.564 becomes the number. The Russell 2000 target would be $18.3570. That's if there's a close blow $18.69. Now, if we go back real quickly here, really, the market should pull back. And if they don't pull back, boy, that tells you about strong moves out there. What do you mean they should pull back, Stevie? If you take a look at this advance decline oscillator rating for the New York Stock Exchange up at $337.56 as of Friday's close, folks, that is really overbought. But markets can't get even further overbought. Stay tuned for Tommy O'Brien. Now, see
