Today I am back with another mystery collection opening. What's up guys we're back with another epic mystery collection opening video. In this video I have a collection that I really have no idea what's inside. I have a general idea but I have no idea what the specifics of the cards or the packs are. By the way there's both sealed product and cards in here so if you like one or the other or both then you're probably gonna love this. But before that we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away these three cards. This is a reprint and then we have an original print Thousand Eyes. That's from Dark Revelation 1 so it's not even Pharaoh's servant. And then a Metal Raiders original print change of heart. Just like the video be subscribed turn on notifications. Let me know how much you think we should pay for all of this stuff that you see in this video. Yo I'm back. But Ruxen where are you back from? If you guys don't know I streamed on Whatnot back in 2021 and I've made my return to Whatnot. If you guys don't know what Whatnot is, Whatnot is a streaming platform where you can sell live. And if you're a viewer on Whatnot you can show up to the live stream, watch the stuff get open, watch stuff get sold. It's really fun to see the auction prices and people going back and forth trying to get different stuff. And you might think I don't really want to spend any money right now. Well that's where I come in. Use my link down below and you'll get $15 for free when you sign up for Whatnot. It doesn't have to be on my stream. It could be on Team Samurai stream. It could be on Simply Unlucky stream. It can be completely unrelated to Yu-Gi-Oh because this isn't just a TCG platform. There's also a lot of other cool stuff like shoes and other collectibles like that that are being sold on Whatnot. And I will be streaming live Thursday March 30th at 5 p.m. Central. We'll be selling stuff like Epic Yu-Gi-Oh singles and old school Yu-Gi-Oh packs. And I will be giving away over $500 worth of Yu-Gi-Oh cards in this stream so you guys want to make sure you're there. And some of these giveaways will not require a purchase at all. You can simply be viewing the stream and win. And don't forget to use that link down below to get that $15 off when you come to the stream so you can save yourself some money. Thanks again to Whatnot for sponsoring this video. Alright let's start it off with the sealed stuff which I believe is in here. I took a little peek and I was like okay there is sealed stuff. We're going to start off with that. Okay wow maybe that's we should save that for later. Okay so we'll start with this one. It's a little bit more appropriate. I mean all the stuff is bangers so keep that in mind. But it was inside of a you know red eyes joey tin so that's always a good sign if that's where your sealed stuff is being stored. Okay so here we actually do have a couple of newer packs let's see. So we have Blazing Vortex so we're going to pull the pot of prosperity. Starlight Rare definitely going to happen. Then we have a Dark Revelation volume too. You can pull the Black Cluster Soldier CEDs both in here. Should have been a Dark Magician girl in this set but they didn't actually add it for some reason. Another Blazing Vortex. Interesting like mix Dark Revelation and then Blazing Vortex. Pot of Prosperity going to happen. We got volume two again. And then a First Edition Flaming Eternity pack. I don't know if this is a retailer hobby. Don't remember off the top of my I think this is hobby actually. The packs are always one like digit later so if it was 103.030 it would be 103.031 for the the retail pack. So that's just a little lesson for you guys if you didn't know that. Then we have a few more Flaming Eternity. So I'm assuming that these are all hobby but I don't know. Wow this is actually pretty sick. I didn't realize how many of these packs were actually in here. This is pretty exciting. So we'll probably be able to see some of these on the on the channel opened up. Just pretty cool. So yeah one of two five. So it looks like if I'm right these are hobby packs. I'm pretty sure if I remember correctly the two four was the box code. So that's pretty cool. All right the Blazing Vortex seems kind of random because that was like it for the for the new stuff. So we have a Dark Revelation Volume 3. This is kind of an iffy Dark Revelation. Probably the worst one but still not bad. Volume 1 of course is a classic from the very beginning. The Volume 2 again. Volume 2.  Just you know just all three of them. Unfortunately no four but that's kind of in a different area because that's secret rare since it came out like a different time. So you know I'm not expected to have those. Then we have uh oh you might guys might get a little peek over there. Oh what is that? I don't know. Take your guesses. We got Dark Revelation Volume 1 again. Volume 1. Okay upside down. We've got Dark Revelation Volume 3. Volume 3 and oh wow we're talking Legend of Blue Eyes. These are reprint packs you can tell from this logo right here.  I've said this many many times on the channel but I want to say it for new reviewers. So like this right here is not the oldest logo. It's the second logo. So they have the original logo which was a square and how like the little squiggly lines and then they went to this in 2003 and then this is the newest logo which is how you know you're getting a reprint pack but we're getting even more reprint packs coming up next month. So if you guys are excited for that get hyped. We're gonna have a discount code coming out I think April 1st. So keep an eye out for that with Sassiata. So we got a bunch of reprints there. That's cool. And then a first edition Flaming of Eternity to go along with all those other ones. So that's just the first 10. There's two more of them. Next up we have a Rainbow Dragon 10. You get a little sneak peek in there with the window man. Who who misses the windows? Let me know in the comments if you guys missed the windows for all this stuff. So wow okay now we're talking guys. I mean we were already talking but we're talking again. Okay even more. More Trader Shatters happening right now. Okay so in here we have a Duelist Pack Zane Truesdale. We've got Duelist Pack Jay and Yuki. That was an interesting look to it for some reason. I don't know. Okay we have a Magic Ruler. That's unlimited. Another Magic Ruler. It seems like Magic Ruler might have a lot of packs in here which is pretty cool. Lost Millennium First Edition. We have Legacy of Darkness First Edition. Very nice. First Edition is always nice. First Edition for On a Guardian. We've opened many of these on our channel. So same with these but we've had some pretty good luck. Let's see if we can continue that. We've got a First Edition Soul of the Duelist. I wonder if this is a hobby pack. I think this is not a hobby pack. This feels like it doesn't have a lot of cards in it. How many cards per pack? Nine cards per pack. This feels like it has like seven cards for some reason. Then there's still more in this tin. We have a Dark Crisis unfortunately not first head so here it's the the red banner but this is always red banner for Dark Crisis because it came out in 2003 or after. It's Soul of the Duelist First Edition again. I'm assuming that is another yeah same code. We have a wacky packages. Who remembers when we opened these on Twitch? If you're a Twitch fan go check out my Twitch at twitch.tv slash ruxin34. Stream Monday, Wednesday, Friday if you guys want to see that. We have a magic ruler. We have Laventhanimer First Dead, Froniguardian Unlimited, More Magic Ruler Unlimited. Man, Magic Ruler Unlimited. It feels like you find those so much easier than First Dead. First Dead you just don't find them loose very often but still original print. Oh yeah as we're talking about that's the original logo. So just to point that out there if you didn't notice already. And then we have a few more Magic Ruler. Pretty amazing. We have the Konami logo Unlimited Invasion of Chaos. So yeah, these are older. They're not the reprint but they are also not First Edition. So now we're on to our third 10. If you guys are liking this so far then I think you'll probably like this last one as well. Based on the top two that I saw it looks pretty nice. So I'm going to do these like this. Let's see if I can not spoil it too much. I'm going to go like this. We have a oh there's the Blazing Vortex. I found some more. We got Fronix Pharaoh Server. That's different. We have Pharaoh Servant Unlimited. So look here you can see the difference here. Red Banner 2003 and after the Konami logo 2002. So there's a big difference there. We've got the Metal Raiders. These are not the reprint because they do have the red banner. These also come in the original print too because they're from 2002. So cool stuff there. So you can oh a little bit of a difference there if you guys can tell. It looks like they got printed a little bit different but it could be different times. You know it could be 10 ones or could be after that. You know maybe a forbidden legacy stuff like that. Europe Metal Raiders pack. So that's cool. And then a few more Blazing Vortex for those Pot of Prosperity that we're definitely going to pull. And it looks like here the rest of them. So I'm hoping that these packs have something big time in them so we can pull that pot. It'd be pretty amazing. Then we have a looks like a couple more though. So maybe almost a full booster box. Hopefully there was not a starlight pulled and then you know just the rest were in there. Let's see what the rest has. We have a Invasion of Chaos. I'm pretty amazing. We've got one, two, then here are the reprints. You can see the difference here. These Konami logos. So this is educational guys when you're buying your packs. That'll help out. We got more reprints there and then there's going to be a different 25th anniversary logo for the ones coming up this year. We've got Magicians Force. Okay now we're talking. Get that Darden Magician Girl on. Not like we pulled one recently or two maybe. You know no big deal. We've got the Magicians Force. Pretty amazing. Lots of those actually. Front of Guardian. We have a couple Ancient Sanctuary. Gotta have some of those. Raging Battles in there. And then another Larm at the Nightmare. So that is all the sealed product. Not bad. There's some good stuff in there. And now we have some sealed stuff. So we're not sealed. Singles. We have a little binder here. It's a standard. We got a little school supply stuff going on here. But to do this you know we have trouble with binder. So I'm going to be picking up the camera. Do a little no face cam action while we do this so we can appreciate all the cards. See all the good stuff inside. So let's do that. All right. So here we go. We have our standard binder. We have okay starting it off. Pretty hot with a Serpent Knight Dragon. Psychic Overload. We got some Ultimate Rare's in here. We got a Radiant Mirror Force. We pulled this guy the other day didn't we? Yeah. First at Force of the Breaker. We got her legacy there. Wait what is that one? That's okay. Bpt. Very cool. This is actually a secret Rare from the Duals Genesis. I always forget this is a secret Rare. Next pack we have or not pack page I should say. First at IOC Dimension Fusion. That's actually pretty big. A lava bone is pretty popular right now in the meta actually. Which is hilarious because it's such an old card. Shinado. Very nostalgic for me first edition. So we're looking at old school stuff in this binder which is really cool. Destiny Arrow Dogma. That's just a super no ulti there. Firewall Dragon Hey. Got the what's it called Arata. So it's not as good anymore but hey it's a crazy card. Then we have some more old school stuff. Some of these cards are sliding out.  Nothing too crazy. We've got a Coat Soldier Wolf Bar. Who remembers when he used to pull that all the time. That was an old school. Old school time. We got first ed creature swap. That's not bad either. Defensive tactics from gladiator's assault. We have our Cloudians. Evil hero most just edge. So nothing too crazy on that page.  We have a OO Neospatian. Neoparshath not Spatian. Neosparshath the sky paladin. Great shogun shian. This is a nice ultimate rare as well. Oh security orb. Oh I thought that was an ultimate rare. Those are really hard to find ultimate rare from glass. Still really cool. Dark world dealings also cool. Cyber ogre. Soul of fire. Tragedy. Tune world. Okay yeah so cool stuff. Cool old school. Radiant mirror force. Black ray lancer. Yeah so we're looking at.  It's got really expensive. The gem turtle. Anything else too crazy in here? I mean it's not as crazy as like the packs but there's also some pretty good stuff. Feather duster. That's a great pull out of joey's world. Course targets pet dragon nostalgic. Oh whoa. Oh ghost rare. I didn't even see that guy down there. Ghost rare galaxy eyes photon. Who remembers when I pulled this out of a extra card in the blisters. You don't remember because you weren't there but I told you about it so you might remember that part. Pretty cool. Ghost sure right there. Some old for a pharaonic guardian cards. It's just really nice. Grass looks greener. Band but crazy when it's not banned so it'll probably get unbanned at some point right. Okay we got a more a lot of a little more old tease. That's beautiful. We got a thousand extra strict just like the giveaway today pulling the rug. That's cool for Edison side decks. Overload fusion is beautiful as well. So there's actually like a lot of decent cards in here. I've got to sprinkle throughout. They don't start at the beginning and taper off. They kind of just keep going. Okay more cool stuff there. Anything else crazy. Make sure to let me know if I missed something. Whoa we're talking old school. Nostalgic condition guys. Nostalgic condition for that blue eyes white dragon. You love to see it. That means it was loved and it was enjoyed by young kids probably at some point. We have a horse black film dragon level eight. It's a beautiful print of that card. It's only like five bucks or something so it's a steal. Maybe it's a little bit more than that but it's not too crazy. I always thought this evil hero inferno looked really good. Then of course rainbow dragon looks amazing. Everybody loves that card. Honest are great. Hero clean nose. Not a great gladiator beast card but it is used. Shrink we have not much. Oh eradicated. That's like a $10 card because of labyrinth and stuff. Anything else too crazy. Another eradicator. Plasma vise not a bad little promo there. We got some more 10 promos coming up here. Shrink anything else crazy before we get to the end. We got some other nice stuff. Nothing too wild yet. It's a bunch of 10 promos which are pretty much fan favorites because as kids they were the easiest thing to get. They were nostalgic monsters. They bring back a lot of memories. Master collection promos as well. Very similar thing. The master collection was a little harder to find probably. Okay well it looks like that was on that page. Okay more master collection stuff. You love to see it. Then we've got an LOB reprint. It appears. We've got more reprints. We've got IOC stuff. The big three. It's pretty cool. We got an exodia. It's a master collection again. That's a lot of exodia. Warrior of tradition. This is actually a crazy expensive card. If you watch Guess That Prize you probably know that. And that looks like it for all the all the binder. That was a pretty solid binder. Alright guys that's it for the master collection. Make sure to let me know down below how much we should spend on this. It's going to be interesting because there's like Sea Old and there's some pretty nice singles as well. Not like the craziest singles we've seen but there's definitely some nice stuff in there.

For anyone really going into semiconductors, even those who are not in the electrical or computer engineering fields, you just really see how can we use in all disciplines. I was focused in biology, and now I want to mix the two together. At first, when I came into biomedical engineering, I believed it was really around pharmaceuticals and tissue design. I've been exposed to now the medical device industry and also wearable devices. And that's something that's actually a mixture of electrical and biomedical engineering. Really, because of this program, I've been able to explore this new field and it's actually something I want to go into now. And recognizing that is a really crucial thing, I believe, to our technological developments in the future. Definitely produce efforts in relation to the semiconductor industry with this effort with STARS has definitely been something that's been one of a kind. They really emphasize how we are the first really to be doing something like this. I think there's so much more growth and so many more opportunities for me and future people to see.


Marco Santos is a grave digger at one of Brazil's worst-hit coronavirus hotspots. As bulldozers worked long hours to have burial pits ready and loved ones of the deceased mourn their passing in Manaus, Santos talked about working at the cemetery. Over there, you can see the number of dead people. Take care. This is not a joke. Use gloves. Use a mask. Wherever you go, be really careful because this disease is serious.  The hospitals are full. That is why I am saying that nobody was prepared for this and it took everyone by surprise. Hospitals, cemeteries, nurses, grave diggers, nobody was prepared and we are all involved in this tragedy here. So it's a lot of work here. You can't imagine the amount of work we have here. This thing is not easy. We work day and night, burying bodies. Brazil is one of the worst COVID-19-hit countries. As of the evening of May 20, there are over 291,500 cases with close to 19,000 deaths. According to the Federal Council of Nurses in Brazil, around 12,000 nurses, technicians and assistants have been infected with coronavirus. And as of May 12, 94 had died. Brazil has the highest number of deaths worldwide of nursing professionals surpassing the U.S., Spain and Italy. Shortage of PPE kits have made healthcare workers more susceptible to the virus and has increased the chances of spreading. On Mother's Day, I couldn't hug my mother. I couldn't meet her. I saw a crime on a balcony from a distance. The same happened with my mother-in-law. My wife and I stared at her house and we looked at her on the balcony from the car. But we couldn't hug her. Amid all this, there have been protests happening all over the country, both insupportive and against the lockdown. Tensions have built up between Governors of various states and the national government. Sualen, a resident of Paraiso Polis, Sao Paulo, along with many others are protesting against the inefficiency of the far-right Brazilian government of Jair Bolsonaro and demanding more aid. I'm here because we are going to continue doing our part, but the government has to do theirs. And in Paraiso Polis and other favelas, we have been creating alternatives for those in need. And we will continue doing this, but the government has to do its part. It must think about the vulnerable communities of Brazil. Meanwhile, Brazil lost its second health minister in less than a month, even as cases soar in the country. Brazil's health minister, Nelson Tec, on May 15th abruptly resigned a day after the country announced nearly 14,000 deaths. Raul, a social worker at Hospital do Coração, felt disillusioned with the instability in the Ministry of Health. I don't know. Everything seems so strange. I don't know what's going on. There's the Covid pandemic and maybe a political game is going on with the resignation of this minister. It scared me. I just found out now. We are at the mercy of those at the top. We don't know what is happening. The Corona crisis has also brought to the forefront the crisis in Brazil's health care system. The Sistema Unico de Saúde, S.U.S., Brazil's publicly funded health system, has been facing dire budget cuts over the past several years, while the private system has been steadily growing. Today, 55% of the ICU beds in Brazil are in the private system, while only serving 25% of the population. 75% of Brazilians still depend on the public S.U.S. hospitals. With the surge in the Covid-19 cases in Brazil, the S.U.S. hospitals have been overcapacity and calls have strengthened from people's movements for the beds in private hospitals to be available to all who need them. Brazil stands third globally in terms of number of Covid-19 positive cases, yet its president is in denial. Meanwhile, socialist countries like Cuba and Venezuela have been successful in limiting the spread of the disease, as well as in preventing deaths. These contrasting examples reflect the need for a well-funded public health care system and efficient leadership with a people-centered approach. Thank you very much.

Coming up next are the random number blocks and then we can break open pick your team number six of NT football. Thanks guys.


Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. In this lecture we are going to talk about the planet Mercury. Now of the planets, especially the inner planets, Mercury is probably the least well explored even though it is not that far away from us. It's not that much further away than Venus or Mars but it is much less detailed, has been explored in much less detail. So let's take a look a little bit about what we do know about Mercury. So some of the basic properties to start off with here its orbital period is 88 days meaning it takes about three months to orbit around the Sun once. Its semi-major axis or average distance from the Sun is about four-tenths of an astronomical unit so it is less than half the distance of the Earth from the Sun much closer. Its diameter is a little more than a third the Earth's diameter. Its density however is very similar to the Earth's and that is going to tell us that it is a very high concentration of metallic materials. Its orbital eccentricity or how squashed its orbit is is about 0.2. Among the major planets that is the largest eccentricity and its rotational period is 59 days so it takes 59 days for it to spin on its axis once relative to the stars. Now let's look a little bit about the interior of Mercury and what we know about it and before let's actually take a look at the image here first that we have this was taken by the Mariner spacecraft that flew by Mercury back in the 1970s and we can see that overall it looks a lot like our own moon very heavily cratered. The one thing we notice that's missing is the maria we do not see any maria on Mercury. So let's look a little bit about the interior structure of Mercury and our studies of the interior are very difficult because we have never landed on its surface so we don't really know exactly what the interior is like we have to make estimates by comparing it to what we know about the Earth and other planets so what we understand of it is that it is a very large core and if you notice here the core is a very big chunk of the interior and it has a much smaller mantle compared to the Earth. The Earth had a smaller core and a larger mantle and Mercury has a larger core and a smaller mantle and this would be iron and nickel that would be at the central portion again. The core in this case is actually about seventy percent of the diameter of the planet so the core dominates Mercury why it has such a high density and such a high concentration of metal so in a way it's a large ball of iron and nickel with a little bit of a rocky crust on top of it. We also know that that core is still partially molten and that's because Mercury does have a weak magnetic field nowhere near the strength of the Earth but it does have a magnetic field and in order to generate a magnetic field especially in something rotating so slowly it must be partially molten. Now Mercury, as I mentioned, it does not rotate very quickly so let's take a look at how Mercury rotates because it has an interesting pattern here. In fact until the nineteen sixties it was thought that Mercury might be the hottest in the coldest planet that it might be tidally locked to the Sun much as the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth and that would mean that one side always faced the Sun and one side always faced away. It would have made it simultaneously the hottest planet on the side facing the Sun and the coldest planet in the solar system on the side facing away. However radar observations in the nineteen sixties showed otherwise and it turns out that its rotational period of fifty nine days is two-thirds of its revolution period of eighty eight days and it means that Mercury is locked into a, what we call a resonance with the Sun but it's not a one-to-one resonance where it rotates once for every time it revolves it's actually a two-to-three. So that means that two years on Mercury are the equivalent of three days. So the diagram here shows that at position one Mercury has rotated and then it moves to two. It's now rotated halfway around. So now two at this point is pointing in this direction in space one day later it's pointing in this direction in space the second day later it's around here and then four now it's pointing back down again five six and then if we put in number seven up here it would be back to where it started. So once it's had three days occur that is the equivalent of two years and that is another example of a resonance that occurs in this case with Mercury. That happens with the moon in terms of a one-to-one resonance where its day and its year, its orbital period around the earth are exactly the same. Now let's look a little bit about what we do know of Mercury. We can't really see it from the earth very well. We can't see surface features so it wasn't until 1974 when the Mariner 10 spacecraft flew by and got us the first images of the surface. So that was the first time we could actually see it. It's always too close to the sun to be seen from the earth. We have to look through lots of atmosphere and we can never get any kind of clear images even with very powerful telescopes. We also had the messenger spacecraft which orbited around Mercury for several years giving us a complete detailed surface map of the planet. And what we find is that it does look a lot like the moon. We see lots of craters. We also see large impact basins. What we don't see are the Maria. The Maria darker surfaces on the surface of the moon, large flooded basins. We don't see those on Mercury and not just on one side but on any side of it. Now a little more detail on the surface features if we look at some of the messenger images close up. We do see that there is a very large basin which we call the Caloris Basin. It is 1300 kilometers in diameter and is comparable to the larger Maria on the moon. So what that means is that if we look at the whole basin here that is somewhat similar but it has not been flooded by the lava flows that we had on the moon. It still has a decent number of craters around it and inside of it so we still see a lot of cratering around it. So while large impacts did occur on Mercury we do not see any of the Maria like we see on the moon. If we look at the part of the planet's surface opposite to this, opposite to the Caloris Basin it's a very jumbled up terrain. And if you can imagine a very large impact occurring that seismic waves would travel through the planet and would reach the other side. So if the large impact occurs here as those waves travel through the planet they then come together on the other side and it jumbled up the terrain on this side. So if the Caloris Basin is here then the jumbled terrain is here on the opposite side of the planet. And that is just really all of those seismic waves focusing their way through the planet. Now one of the other features that is unique to Mercury is what we call a lobate scarf. So we can take a look at an image here of this and you can see the scarf not very not straight kind of winds its way through a couple of different craters here. It doesn't look very big but these are actually cliffs that are kilometers high. So not just little bulges but actually things that if you were looking at this if you were trying to climb that cliff you might have a mile to climb or even more. These are believed to be wrinkling a wrinkling of the crust. Essentially what would have happened is that the planet would have started to cool now the interior, the exterior would have cooled and the interior would still have been molten. And as we know most objects as they cool tend to get smaller. So as the interior continued to cool it would shrink down leaving empty space in between and the crust would have collapsed down back onto that giving us these scarps and they are unique as far as we know to Mercury. That is really the only place we see the specific type of scarf we call a lobate scarf. So a very distinctive feature for Mercury. And as I've said Mercury has been explored by just those two spacecraft although the messenger craft in spending a long time in orbit was able to give us a complete map before it finally ran out of fuel and crashed into the surface of Mercury giving it one more crater. So let's finish up as we do with our summary and what we find here is first of all Mercury has surface features much like those of our own moon but a very different interior structure. Remember that Mercury has a lot of metal associated with it. It can almost be a metal planet 70% of its diameter is the core which is solid metal. We saw that Mercury's rotational period is two-thirds of its period of revolution. So it does have a what we call a resonance in terms of its orbit and its spin. And finally we looked at the lobate scarps which are a feature that are distinctive to Mercury and probably formed when the planet shrank early on in its history. So that concludes our lecture on the planet Mercury. We'll be back again next time for another topic in astronomy. So until then have a great day everyone and I will see you in class.


This is how narcissists hypnotise you. The narcissist will induce a state of consciousness in which you lose the power of voluntary action until you become highly responsive to suggestion and direction. They may also do this to recover suppressed memories and to allow modification of your behaviour. They will put you in a mental state like sleep in which your thoughts can be easily influenced by them and they will do this by using a pattern interrupt which is a technique that NLP practitioners use to help people step out of bad habits. But the narcissist will use this technique to create new bad habits by influencing you and changing your behaviour and it can be very effective, it's even used in sales because it has the power to change people's behaviours, assumptions, opinions and decisions in an instant by using a series of interruptions to break your routine, habitual thought and behavioural pattern. A pattern interrupt is anything that surprises you, anything that interrupts your thoughts and states to grab your attention because it compels you to change your instinctive reaction and behavioural pattern, it sparks and refocuses your attention by changing the momentum and direction of an interaction and whenever you are not able to be calm, cool and chill in a situation, you are highly susceptible, you are likely to be influenced or harmed by something which is what they want, which is why they will try to break your train of thoughts, to put you in a more suggestible state, to brainwash you, to pressurise you into adoptive radically different beliefs and they will do this by using systematic and often forceful means, they will indoctrinate you, they will condition you, they will do whatever it takes to get you to believe whatever they want you to believe, they will get you to take on the role that they have assigned to you because they need you to validate the illusion so that they can exist in this false reality that they have created for themselves, if they can get you to believe it, it makes it more believable for them and then they can feel safe and secure, they can feel comfortable because now there's no threat to the illusion, there's no threat to the false narrative that they have created inside their minds, which is just a story that they're telling themselves to justify the abuse, to justify how they're treating you, because every abuser needs an excuse, they need a reason for what they're doing, otherwise it would trigger them to self-reflect and then they would feel shame, but they're shame-based individuals who are doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame, which is why they use hypnotism and brainwashing tactics, it's why they have to put you in a suggestible state where you will listen to them more than yourself, which is what they want because they see your mind as the enemy, it's a threat to the illusion, so they will try to turn your own mind against you, they will try to make you think you're going insane, or that you're inherently bad or wrong because in actuality they already know that you're a good person, they may even recognize that you're an empath, and they know that if they get you to think that something is wrong with you, you're going to seek assistance and approval from them, which is what they want, even though they know they're just manipulating and abusing you, and they mean you know well, they still want you to do that because it gives them even more power over you, deep down they know that they are abusers, but they don't want you to see them as abusers, unless it is in a situation that gives them more power, other than that they will want you to see them as innocent, and as though you pose a danger or a threat to them, because that allows them to have further control over you, it keeps you locked in as they're subordinate, while they maintain power and authority over you, it may seem like you have any normal conversation with the narcissist, but then they will finish your sentence for you, as though they've already assumed what you're going to say, they will cut you off, they will use the pattern interrupt tactic, they will break your flow, they will break your state of mind, because they already know that by them doing that, it will create cognitive dissonance, this state where you will experience inconsistent thoughts beliefs and attitudes, and it may even cause your behavioral decisions and attitudes to change, they will do things that may just seem to cause an inconvenience to you, but it actually goes much deeper than that, because by doing this they are breaking the flow, they're causing you to experience psychological stress and discomfort, by making you engage a behavior that does not align with your values or beliefs, which creates conflict and attitudes, beliefs and behaviors, as you try to break with the two opposing pieces of information, because when you genuinely have a disconnect between two conflicted beliefs, it makes you feel uncomfortable, which drives you to resolve it, and it will even threaten your identity and sense itself, it will make it difficult for you to live an authentic life aligned with your personal values, cognitive dissonance isn't just a psychological theory, it's a scientific fact and it's something that people experience every day, people may believe that they love animals and that they should be treated well, but at the same time they eat meat every day, so they may feel uncomfortable when they think about where their food comes from, or they may be trying to improve their health and lose weight, but they also love chocolate cake, so when they eat dessert they experience some dissonance, which is normal and healthy, and it can help us to improve ourselves and our lives, it can push us in the right direction, but narcissists use dissonance to push you in the wrong direction, into something that will be unfavorable and detrimental to you, they create a sense of urgency, a feeling and attitude that a task must be carried out quickly and with great intensity, while also established in the path of least resistance, an option avoiding difficulty and unpleasantness, the easiest course of action, because it avoids confrontation, difficulty, awkwardness and tension, but they will also do it in a way that is covert, in a way that is under the radar, it's a notice that doesn't get too much attention, so it looks like you made the choice on your own, they will say things in a regular voice, they will say things under their breath, they will direct your attention to certain things that you wouldn't normally take notice of, to break your train of thought, to get you to adopt radically different beliefs so that you become who they want you to be, rather than who you actually are, because they want to degrade and humiliate you, they want to discredit and lower your dignity and status, they also want to test your willpower and strength of character, because that is the greatest opposition to them being able to control you, so they will break the flow, they will put you in a state of confusion, they will induce cognitive dissonance and then they will give you their suggestion, they will give you that particular idea by associating it with the other ideas, and then they will attach a restrictive label name or description to you, so that they can assign you to a category inaccurately, and since you're already in a confused state of mind and you're unable to think clearly, because they've already broken the flow with you, it will affect you on a subconscious level, and they're already aware of this, they know that it's effective, they know that it has the power to change your values beliefs and behavior, and to prove it, you've only got to look at their pattern of behavior, you've only got to look at how they repeat the same actions again and again, because they know that it's effective, if they didn't think that it was they wouldn't do it, so they already know what they're doing, it is conscious and deliberate, and it is intended to get you to take on their suggestion and feel differently about yourself, which they will achieve by treating you a certain way, once they've put you in a suggestible state, they will treat you as though you're bad, crazy, different or wrong, as though you don't know what you're doing, they will act like they're trying to correct you or put you right, as though they're free from error, or in accordance with fact or truth, or they will dismiss you as unimportant, so that you begin to take on these feelings, you start to feel like you're less than you actually are, as though they're more efficient and capable, because when they break the flow they act very confident, they show certainty about something to make you less confident, because they always hold opposing views, they're never in agreement with you, they're always trying to confuse you, so that you experience cognitive dissonance, and when they pop out, acting as though they're so sure of everything, they're so confident and courageous, but really they're actually very insecure, because they're just trying to make you think less of yourself, it's not for a worthwhile cause, they're not leading you to something useful or important, they're just trying to get you to develop a psychological bond, with someone who you should be seeing as your abuser or captor, someone who is treating you cruelly and unfairly, someone who has caught and confined you, imprisoned and enslaved you, someone who means you know well, and yet you begin to identify closely with them, and you may even have positive feelings towards them, because they act so smooth and confident, to the point where you begin to distrust yourself, you begin to doubt your own memory, perception and sanity, you begin to feel like you're losing your mind, and then they've got you wrapped around their finger, because it's likely that they've isolated you, to where they've become your only source of influence, and they will act like they're trying to help you, so that you confide in them and you trust them, when in actuality they're just driving you straight to hell, they're trying to pull you down with them, but at the same time they're portraying an image that is very different to what they actually are, they're very insecure and they have low self-esteem, but to habitually harm and intimidate you, they act confident and outgoing, they're noisy and loud, they act like they're sure of themselves, while making you unsure, so that you end up following them, but if you are a powerful and confident individual, they will just continue to use the pattern interrupt, they will keep breaking the flow, to make you second guess yourself, to make you feel small, but you can use their own game against them, by realising that if you are so weak, vulnerable or small, then they won't have to do any of that, because they would have broken you down a long time ago, they do it because they're the ones who are weak and unsure, they're the ones who lack the power to perform and they know that you're greater than them, that's why they're so insecure, that's why they bully and coerce you, that's why they have to hypnotise you, to try to bring you down to their level and then put you beneath them, so that they can preside over you, they may act like they want something better for you, but really they don't like strong or confident people, it intimidates them, it makes them feel worthless and unimportant in comparison, so they need people to be weak, because they want people who they can control, and to do that all they have to do is constantly be in your presence, because although they are weak your ego may take control, and you may believe that you can correct their weakness when that is what pulled you down, because you care and you're trying to resolve the situation and you see potential because at times they are confident as though they're capable and efficient, but the reality is that a person who is truly confident and sure of themselves will uplift you, they're not going to pull you down, narcissists control you through acts of weakness, through pulling you down to their level because that's all they can do, they have no power of their own which is why they're not confident and it's why they can't uplift you, it's also the reason why they feel the need to control you and harness your natural energy to fuel and support the illusion, so that they can continue to delude themselves and to think that they are something special, when the reality is that they're only doing that because they already know that they're nothing, thank you for watching, if you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up, share your thoughts in the comments section,

Hello Earth citizens. In this video, we'll show you a 10 minute Tai Chi routine for shoulder tension. We've invited our friend Jonathan from Body and Brain Yoga. He is the center manager for the Westchester Center in New York City. Are you all ready? Hello everyone. My name is Jonathan. Today we're going to be doing a 10 minute Tai Chi routine for shoulder tension. I did another previous video of Tai Chi for chest tension. We're going to drop a link in the description below. So please check out that video first. You can do that routine directly into this one. And eventually you'll be able to bring those two together for a longer routine. And then later I will introduce even more so you can put all of that together. So why don't we go ahead and get started. So the first thing that we're going to be doing is a very gentle warm-up. I don't emphasize doing like profoundly deep stretches or anything like that before these routines. They're very subtle, very gentle. And you can do them about anywhere at any time in any condition that you're in. So you're going to gently bounce your knees. You're going to shake your wrists. And if you feel comfortable, you can also shake your head side to side like this. If you're prone to getting dizzy, maybe you don't want to do that. But you can also move your shoulders more naturally. The point is to shake off tension, literally. So you can shake your elbows. You can shake your shoulders, especially since we're going to be emphasizing shoulders. You want to move your shoulders up and down. You can turn your body side to side, take deep breaths into your chest. And then just allow yourself to be more free. If you're moving like this, you won't release so much tension. So allow yourself more freedom and space to move. We'll do this for about five breaths. All right, let's do it together. Inhale, exhale. And I strongly encourage speaking out. You can say, ha, or any sound is okay to open up your chest and shoulders. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Ha, elongate your spine even while you're doing this. Allow your spine to grow tall. Inhale, exhale. One more time. Inhale, and exhale.  Tuck your tailbone, elongate your spine. Pick up your chest. Take a deep breath in. And feel your body from corner to corner. Exhale out. Two more times. Inhale. Bring your awareness to your shoulders. One more time. Inhale. Very good. So let's start with the basic motion. Commence, which means to open. Relax your arms and bring them up to about chest height. And then very comfortably let them sink. As your hands go down, your legs will also go down as well. This is called relax and sink. Inhale, and exhale. One more time. Inhale, and exhale. We're going to start by bringing the pinkies together. So the pinky represents the heart meridian channel, and it also represents fire as an element. When fire gets trapped inside of your shoulders, that's how we can become tense. Your arms will rise up with your pinkies still together. You'll bring them straight up as high as you can. If you're stiff, your arms may not go up so high. But if you're more flexible, bring them up higher. When you reach the highest point that you can, your arms are going to open out. And this is how you're going to open your shoulder with this motion. And your hands are going to sink down from the center here. Once you reach down to the bottom, you're going to release, and we'll go back to this commence movement again. And that completes the whole motion. Pretty simple, right? So again, pinkies will come together. You may feel your shoulder tension or anything.  Your hands will come up. As you inhale, your tailbone tucks in. Your belly sinks in. Your spine is going up towards the sky. Your fingers turn in as your elbows turn out. Shoulders open. Once you get to your chest, you relax and sink all the way down. You return to the center and we come back here. Let's do this again. Inhale, exhale. Inhale and exhale. Very good.   Take a deep breath into your chest. And as you breathe, feel your shoulders. Imagine a string above your head. Make your body as long as possible. But relax and sink your weight into your legs. Breathe in deeply. One more time. Breathe in. Very good. Shake your hands out. If you feel any tension in your legs, you can also shake your legs out. Otherwise, let's go through this again. And your knees. So these postures can be done with a closer posture, like feet together, shoulders with the part, even wider. If you're super intense, you can do these kind of things in an iron fork stance or different leg postures. Anything's okay. But we're practicing this neutral stance and the shoulders with the part, so that way you can get a basic idea of how you can apply yourself in your day-to-day functions. So take a deep breath in from the bottom. Exhale. From the top, inhale. Exhale. From the bottom again, inhale. Start by bringing your pinkies together. Straight up. You can take a look at your hands on the way up.  Activate your shoulders. Draw the pinkies down towards your wrists.  And open chest, shoulders. Bring your weight down, fingers down. Sink your weight comfortably. Inhale. Exhale. Let's do this two more times. And one more time. Inhale and exhale. Very slow. Sink your weight. Open. Inhale and exhale. One more time. Inhale. Relax your arms by your side. Open your chest and elongate your spine. Feel the space between your chest and your shoulders around this region of your body. So as you breathe in, feel your chest. Your hands can be relaxed. And then feel the space between your chest and your shoulders, not just from the front side but from the top, neck to shoulder and back to shoulder as well. Breathe as if you can breathe into that space. Inhale. And as you exhale, trace your awareness from your shoulder to your fingertips to eliminate any tension from the shoulders out to the palms and fingers. Two more times. Inhale. And exhale. Very good. Place your hands on your lower abdomen. And you can rest your eyes for these final three breaths. And again, check your body as you did in the beginning and feel even subtle changes are good. It doesn't have to be dramatic changes but you can feel some activation in your shoulders, tingling, warm sensation, vibration, even an activation like a contracting and exhale. Breathe in. Let go of all the worries in your chest and shoulders. Inhale. Bring your feet together. Inhale. And exhale.

Is she on wall? No. All good.  Hard to stick it. What the?


I want to talk about how to write and sell 100 Medicare policies okay and I'm gonna break it down into three steps today because everything we do it's always about steps always about purpose it's always about specific details for you to be able to do what you want right I always believe in breaking everything everything down with scripts systems processes steps because I feel like systems and steps are duplicatable repeatable and the purpose is for you to ask a question me to train on it me to coach on it me to address it and then you be able to actually apply it right so today is we're going to talk about how to write a hundred okay so the first thing is do the math you guys know I'm big on numbers so let's look okay let's look from October 15th through December 7th you've got one two three four nine thirteen okay you got thirteen days in October and I'm looking at business days right this can easily be you can easily sell in the weekends okay I'm looking at specifics though then you've got 21 in November okay and then how many do we have in I'm looking at just business days and I'm not guessing but I'm grabbing several okay then you got another five okay so if you add these together you got 39 how about that quick math 39 business days so let's do the math okay so to do the math you need if you take 100 divided by 39 you can need about two and a half right two two and a half per day so how do you write two and a half per day well a lot of times because of this season a lot of times you can actually sit and and get one appointment and get multiple policies okay so one thing you could do is you got it you can't forget that you're gonna get some some some duo cells as we'll call them today okay some duo cells you're also can't forget that you know what hey you may get some referrals so I actually believe that for this to become a reality you need to sit with so many people okay that's something we talked about a lot is doing the math okay so there's the math there's the math 39 business days most people don't know this stuff all right when you have a target and a goal some people's goals are bigger but it's cool to say I'm gonna write 200 Medicare policies during this time of the year but if you don't have a plan if you don't have an actual strategy for it then who cares right that's why when you do the math it becomes easier to hit a goal or a target or or to make that vision a reality that's why I love breaking stuff down the second step okay on how to write 100 is you got to you gotta pick strategies there are several strategies and ways to get in front of people during this time okay client list is always a no-brainer always a no-brainer that if you've got a prospect list client list right you might as well leverage that also you can get some referrals you can send out mail right you can speak at local senior centers and events and seminars and that kind of stuff right you could host events okay because that's always a great way there's a lot of traction that can come from that you could host one event and write them all from one event if it was the right type of event and it was big enough right that's what I think Vince events are always big I love events especially if I if I know how to get people at to the event right that's when I love events you can also do leads whether it be new or aged also you can cold call right I'm not saying you're gonna cold call about Medicare Advantage you're cold calling about Medicare or dental or something else right and then move into that other avenue right also warm market that's one of the biggest things that I always talk about with stuff like this is you got to think out of the box you got to get creative right you could also network the big thing is you need some type something I talk a lot about an attack list any time I want to sell a certain amount of anything I always create an attack list right we're talking about rolling out a media company attack list we're talking about having a massive day in lead sales we're gonna have we'll do Dylan what we're on pace to do like $40,000 in leads today because we set we did the math we create an attack list and we figured out what we need to do to make that a reality right there's a lot of different ways to go about this but people that are successful and they put forth the steps and they achieve them they typically have some type of attack list to where they know what to do when okay so there's several strategies because there's a lot of different ways and strategies to be successful in this business here's a few different ones okay I'm not saying I do them all but maybe you're like I'm gonna do some events I'm gonna work my clients and I'm gonna get some new leads okay and then maybe the rest of it's out maybe you're warm market too because that's kind of like some low-hanging fruit you might as well I mean it's freaking Medicare they need help right they need help okay there's four ways but but maybe you're like I'm gonna ask my client for referrals I'm gonna send out a piece of mail to all my clients whatever there you can end up doing almost all of these just by thinking outside the box and getting a friend of people I'm telling you this is easy during AEP this is easy to create a couple grand a month in residual income how do you do this during AEP well most of you probably didn't think about some of these other ways that you could do it you can cold call you can freaking doorknock right hey I'm to I want to talk to you about your Medicare your Medicare supplement oh I don't have a medical supplement okay let's schedule a time for me to come back whatever right I'm not saying I'm the compliance officer I'm here to give you ideas okay clients referrals mail speak events leads new and age networking doorknocking cold call warm market there's a lot of different ways I know individuals that from events that will in two days will sell 90 Medicare policies from two Medicare events just to okay so there's a lot of different ways to be successful by doing this and this is always a good way the third thing is hey I need a I need to figure out how many appointments do I need per week right well you're probably during this time if they're specific to Medicare then you probably need to sit with at least 15 plus per week okay because two and a half 2.5 times 5 if we're just looking at business days I'm not saying we have to that's 12 and a half cells per week okay but you sit with 15 and they're all on Medicare and you're trying to help them all you can probably do more than that because you got to remember there's duo cells in that you'll probably you sit with 15 you actually sit with 15 which isn't easy if you actually sit with 15 okay then you'll probably end up being able to help probably and actually sell probably 10 of them but I bet half of those will be duos probably so they just added on another five cells so then guess what your total is 15 okay which is then you're gonna end up with more they're 125 or so for the entire AEP season so that's the big thing with everything we do and I'm gonna get some questions Dylan and see if they have any in just a second but the big thing is what's the target right do the math you need to know most of you didn't know that right that's a freaking problem okay pick some strategies what does it look like how do we attack it how do we go for it how do we get it right and we need to sit with 15 plus a week so how do we make that a reality every single week 15 15 15 15 plus maybe 20 I'm right I'm gonna hold you back if you if you think I know if you think I need to sit with 40 a week then sit with 40 a week map out a plan there's tons people to sit with 40 people a week during AEP okay Dylan any thoughts or questions you're welcome thank you we share health thank you for sharing your health right okay what's up Sarah hope Minnesota is treating you well okay Vikings looked good yesterday I don't know I actually don't know that I was curious though I didn't think she was but you made me think she is boom she's sitting there sitting there trying somebody on the on the stand and he's he's watching us I like it guilty landing guilty right just guilty are you mic'd up okay Reginald Smith said hello Cody from Virginia hello Cody from Virginia what's up brother hope you're doing well man brother Reg I'm gonna call you how about that yeah boom I love it at the end of the day you need to know what your plan is I'm telling you this time is a it can be a massive time for you but you got to do the math you got to pick some strategies and you have to create an attack list if you're part of our success society Sarah is and several others are we're going to be talking about how to maximize your time and get in front of people during AEP okay I don't care what type of policies you're selling you can sell anything during AEP so we're gonna talk about that at four o'clock in success society if you want to be a part of that call for free and be in success society for 30 days for free email Andy at Cody askins.com and why at Cody askins.com what you got what is the general verbiage of a Medicare lead yes so it's someone that is expressing help with saving money on their Medicare plan but a lot of times they'll respond to that and they may just have some questions on the changes they may have questions on plan types they may need help with their prescription drugs maybe they want more coverage maybe they want less coverage maybe they want to pay you know more maybe they want to pay less whatever and so in general the purpose of a general Medicare lead Doug is to find someone that has interest in receiving assistance with their Medicare and then it's that agent's job to go get in front of them or help them over the phone okay Vivian thanks for the things she said thanks for the question thanks for everything you do and and and I want to see the activity numbers how many need is you know how many need a specific activity number I mean the big thing is you've got to figure out if you've got you know 50 clients you can automatically sit with all those okay because over the course of those 39 days you need to be you need to end up sitting 39 times at least three a day right at least three a day is what's that 117 okay total appointments or total sits over the course of those 39 business days I'm saying you can't sit on Saturday and Sundays but the big thing is do the math pick some strategies tech of how to get in front most people forget about events big one most people forget about new leads in our office easy one hope people forget about warm market oh no brainer we don't forget about clients typically but we forget about other stuff okay and then you have to sit with at least 15 a week that's that's the goal you'll probably have to set I mean people I don't think people are gonna stand you up during this time they're like begging for help so I mean 20 appointments you know set 20 sit with 15 so sell 10 to 15 truthfully so it's like it's literally like you're selling candy to Cody askin's because I freaking love candy it ain't it ain't hard right what else we got Dylan especially sour candy yep success society I'll give you a 30-day free trial if you're watching now email Andy at Cody askin's.com and why at my first and last name Andy at Cody askin's.com thanks for asking but Reggie thanks appreciate it buddy any other thoughts or questions I'm new to the business was the average time when you sit with someone I'm new to the business was the average time you sit with someone Medicare season an hour for 45 minutes an hour there's some agents that try I mean some maybe longer so maybe the shorter some agents would prefer to get them all done in 40 minutes but it's not always gonna happen I mean the big thing is with this kind of stuff if they're already a client you don't remain I have to do as much warming up if they aren't a client and they're stranger I would still go through the appointment process and warm them up and ask questions and get to know them hour 15 you know if it's cold hey we're here to help what our job is is to help you write if you're if it's what you want to do maybe you want to write a hundred Medicare policies during AP I don't care what it is our job is to help you I don't care if you sell you know if you sell cancer plans do the math pick some strategies and then go sit with people right at the end of the day you can make anything in reality it all goes back to have an attack list doing the math the simple things right most people overcomplicate this business most people fell because they don't get sent in front of people what's why we've created a personation to help agents succeed welcome teachers agent training thanks for being here have a great week and also give me a favor and call in to our office and grab some leads a three massive cell almost 10 bucks off a piece almost huge deal 833 40 agent let's do it a great week hey if you love this you'll love how to do a presentation for interest agents a couple pieces of

closing abilities I'm gonna talk through several different things okay I always talk about


Hey y'all! Welcome back to the channel girl. I'm looking kind of skinny ain't I girl?  It is time for another hair tutorial. I know it's been a while. This time I'm going to be going back to a sort of track with true product for my Washington girls. The Echo Styler Green Top Olive Oil. And we're going to be combining this with the generic curl defining cream. Now I used to use Shea Monsters Curl Defining Cream along with this particular product, the Echo Styler one I was when I had TWA. But it's been a while. So you guys, I washed my hair yesterday. It is not, it is almost dry. And so what I'm going to be doing is lightly misting my hair, separate my hair in smaller sections, and we're going to attempt a wash and go.  Yeah, it's getting long in a very long time. I'm already regretting my life choices right now. All right. So I'm going to take the generic curl defining cream quite a bit for me. And I'm going to smooth it through a large section of my hair. Okay. And I'm going to separate that even more, even smaller sections. And I'm going to be using the Felicia Leatherwood Detangling Brush to slightly detangle my hair because you don't want to be applying gel to your hair and basically locking it up when it's, when you're, yeah, you have a kind of thing to be tangling. And I'm going to use, look at that. I haven't even added any gel. See my hair? So, my epistyler can leave your hair dry and crunchy, but girl it is what it is. I'm going to go in with some gel from root to end, smoothing it all the way down, really paying close attention to the ends to leaves it just a little bit more. So we're going to be doing the raking method. Look at that. So you guys, this is what I'm going to be doing lightly misting my hair, applying the leaving conditioner, detangling and adding the gel. Now I didn't add as much gel as I normally would because I'm not trying to have all this product sitting in my hair. I often find that with the wash and goes, especially if you're in the four type category, we are trying to manipulate our hair in a way to get curls that we don't really have. So this is not my favorite hairstyle in particular, but it's something that I do every so often when I'm on the go and I don't really have a lot of time to set my hair in a style. So this is what we're going to go for. Also, I found that with the wash and go, if you have multiple textures, like most of us do, it could be a little bit inconsistent. Excuse me, your results can be inconsistent. So yeah, you could either come out looking banging or looking like a deranged muppet, whatever. So I'm going to continue to set my hair in this style. It looks great while it's wet, right? But we'll see what it looks like when it dries. What I'm going to do is take a blow dryer. I thought I would use the Fuser Girl, but yeah, I know. I used it for about five minutes and just switched to the other attachment so that I could have more direct heat directly towards my roots. And so I find that with doing a wash and go outside of the shower, one, my hair does dry. It can dry in one day. If I do it in the shower, it's going to take two or three days. The key to also making sure that it's not as much frizz, which I still got a quite a bit frizz, is to set your hair and then don't touch it. So I try to shake the curls around and then allow it to air dry for the rest of the day. All right, so it is the next day. And what I did the night before is I set my hair in these little mini pineapples with goody stretchy bands. I did not apply a bonnet to my hair, you guys, because I do sleep on a silk, excuse me, a satin girl. We ain't got those type of coins. I sleep on a satin pillow case, all right? And so I'm just going to gently take the goody bands out. And then I'm going to lightly mist my hair with water and shake my hair around. And we're just going to try to style the hair to where I don't get as much frizz. All right, you guys, this is it. I am done. Not really feeling the front. That's okay. Hey, it is what it is. The good thing about a wash and go is that you could always put it up in a puff, a side puff. You can have the imperfection. Yeah, that back something's going on. But that is it, girl. Put on this cute little dress, put on some makeup and I'm making it work out. Thank you so much for watching, y'all. Take care. Bye.


South Korea starts secretly transferring artillery shells to Kyiv. After much resistance and a request from the US, South Korea has begun to transfer hundreds of thousands of artillery shells to Ukraine. The shipment is being made through the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported it. South Korea is proceeding with the transfer of hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds for Ukraine, a move that US officials said would make Kyiv's planned offensive against Russian forces effective and allow the White House to delay a fraught decision about whether to supply cluster munitions banned by many countries. The media outlet wrote, According to a confidential agreement, South Korea is handing over the shells to the United States, which in turn arranged for them to be shipped to Ukraine. The White House declined to comment, as did a representative of the South Korean government in Seoul. The Pentagon declined to say how the transfer of the shells is taking place or when it is expected to be completed, but admitted that it is in talks with Seoul to buy the ammunition from South Korea. Seoul's position changed after South Korean President Yoon Seok-yul's visit to Washington last month. At that time, Washington and Seoul issued a joint declaration on security issues. In November, Seoul promised to provide Ukraine with artillery but then began to evade.
