You can have security instead of worries about the future if you start now to invest regularly in United States savings bonds. For regular systematic savings, two plans have been set up for your convenience. The payroll savings plan where you work and the bond a month plan where you bank. With the payroll savings plan, you authorize your employer to set aside a certain sum each payday and invest the money in bonds for you. On the bond a month plan, for those who are not on a payroll, you authorize your bank to issue bonds to you each month and charge the purchase price to your checking account. Bonds may be redeemed any time after two months at the purchase price plus interest. Remember, savings bonds are absolutely safe and are protected against loss, theft, or destruction. Now even better, invest more in savings bonds. This message is brought to you as a public service. Herb Barton went to the Yukon territory to make easy money. From among the rough men who hoped to profit from the work of others, he picked two companions, Flynn Beaver and Frank Carver. Within a short time, Herb and his companions were notorious throughout the territory. And since they had succeeded in evading the law and covering their trail each time, Herb Barton and his cronies began to think they were invincible. The most recent crime of the Barton crowd started when one of them overheard a conversation in a white horse cafe and reported it to Herb in their hotel room. Who are you, then, Herb? Over to the cafe. There's something on my dinner table, Herb. Yeah, what? I hope it's something that'll bring us in some dough that could use some about in there. I think it'll get us plenty if Herb decides to go to work on it. A couple of prospectors went to the cafe telling a barkeep about an old sourdough who made a strike a few miles from here in the North Trail. What's that got to do with us? I just said an old sourdough or a sci-action. He lives out there alone with his 8-year-old granddaughter. I understand he hasn't brought his take into town. Seems to think he has a better hiding place right out there than Kevin. And what you're thinking is that he's got gold out there in hiding, just waiting for us to go take him. Is that different? Yeah. It ought to be a sense to grab that gold from the old man and that youngster. There'd be nothing to it. What do you think, Herb? He'll go out there and make him sell where the gold is hidden. And we'll grab it. When do we go after him? Right now? No. We'll wait until the night. So no one will see us riding out of town in the North Trail. No use making people suspicious. And after we grab the gold, we'll double back and head for Skagway. We can reach there before the snow comes. That's just what we'll do, Frank. Maybe after this, that old sourdough will learn to keep his mouth shut about what he takes from his claim. Earlier that evening, Sergeant Preston and Yukon King followed the North Trail on a trip to Elk Landing. They stopped for a short visit with Sy Atkins and his granddaughter, Ginny. Good luck to you, good boy. Oh! Oh! Come on, Ginny. Oh! So Sergeant Preston and King, we heard you're stopping out here, and Ginny said you were sure it was you. Oh, Sergeant. Oh, God, I'm glad to see you again. Good morning, all of the cheerwellers. Thanks, sir. We couldn't pass without saying hello to you and Jenny, could we, Ginny? Here you are. Just sit right here, Sergeant. Good morning, sir. Grandpa's doing a lot of gold, Sergeant. Jenny, let me tell the Sergeant about it. I heard about it in town, sir. Is it really true? Yep. That last time made a strike. I got plenty here. Don't you think it's risky to hide your gold, sir? Why not take it to the bank, and why don't I? Well, I tell you, Sergeant, I don't trust banks. What's more, I wonder where I can look at it once in a while to make sure I really do have gold. Well, I can understand how you feel, Si, but I think you're making a big mistake keeping it here. I'll be back this way tomorrow. Why don't you write in the town with me and deposit your gold where it'll be safe? Well, you think I ought to, Si? I certainly do, since I heard about your gold. Others have surely heard about it, too. And there are a good many men here in the Yukon who wouldn't hesitate to try to get it. They have to find it first. I have a mighty good hiding place for it. But since you think I ought to, I'll take it to town tomorrow when you come back this way. Good. That's the sensible thing to do, Si. After visiting a while with Si Atkins and Jenny, Preston rose to leave. Well, can I have to leave, huh? Oh, I wish you didn't have to leave yet. I wanted to go and play a little while. But, darling, you and he just got here, Sergeant. Oh, well, uh, said it was, Jenny. Suppose I leave King here until I come back tomorrow. Oh, darling, would you leave him? Of course. That is, if your grandfather doesn't object. Object! Let me tell you, if I had my way, King would stay here all the time. How would you like that, darling? All right, I'll stop by tomorrow on the way back to town. Stay here, King. Stay with Jenny. King doesn't like me to go without him. No hellenjoy being here with you, Jenny. Bye. Come on. Ready, boys? Need you now? Come on, plug in. Some time later, when Herb Barton and his two companions, Slim and Frank, pulled to a stop in front of Syatkin's cabin. Oh, oh, oh! Oh, my boy. First we locked her to night so as to get inside without the old man becoming suspicious. Come on. Got a dog in there. We didn't count on them. Don't worry about them. I'll leave it to me. As they stood waiting, Sy unlocked the door and opened the crack. The old sourdough peered out cautiously for three figures standing in the eerie light that he asked. Well, that isn't what you want. All right, Mr. Atkins. Nothing at all to worry about. Just what is it you want, Mr. Atkins? I brought a message for you from town. That dog's barking makes it hard for me to talk. Quiet, then. Quiet, King. He doesn't seem to mind you very well. Jenny, take King and shut him up in the back room, will you? The dog's shut in the back room. Come in now if you want. Hey, you don't intend to stay long. Now, what is it you want to tell me, Mr. I'll hold your horses, Pop. Frank over there turned the key and the door to that back room where the dog is, right? Gordon, this is why you're locking the door. Oh, you can't come out with the door closed. We're not taking any chances, little girl. Now, Atkins, let's get right to the point. Where's all that gold you got hidden around here? Come on, speak up and make it fast. Atkins, sure that's it. You came here to rob me. You heard about my gold. They admit he has gold here. Grandpa, make him go away.  These ordinary critters are thieves, Jenny. They've come here to steal our gold. Sergeant Preston warned me somebody might hear about it and try to get it from me. Sergeant Preston, did that hurt? He's talking about that money with the big dog. Yeah, I know. Sergeant Preston's big dog king is right there in the back room.  Oh, so that's the great husky we've been hearing about, huh? Well, we'll see that he doesn't get out of that room. Where's that gold hidden, Atkins? You better tell us and tell us quick if you know what's good for you. Since you came here to get it, you can just hunt until you find it, mister. I'm not telling you or anybody else where it is. He's wasting our time, Herb. That dog and Mary are Sergeant Preston. They must be coming back soon. The old man's just stolen for time. Sergeant Preston will come back tomorrow and then you'll be sorry. Shouldn't have told him that. Well, I'm glad she did tell us. Now we don't have to be in any rush. Sorry, Grandma. I'm sorry. It's all right, Jenny. Forget it. Make the old coot talk, Herb. We'll give him a good going over here, tell us. Nope!  I'll let you know. Then you'll let us alone. That a youngster, Frank. Come here, you. Let me go! Let me go!  Hey, that dog knows something's wrong out here. If he gets out of your house with that, let me go! Listen, Pop, we don't go for slapping little girls around. And I know you wouldn't want to see such a thing happen. Now you better tell us where that gold is hidden and you better cost back. Grab him, make them let me go! He's holding my arm and it hurts! You yellow bat coyote!  That's up to you, Pop.  You want to see a little girl like that get her ear spot just as you want to be stubborn? Hold on, Miss. Let her go. Let her go. I reckon you win. Sure. Now you're talking sense. Let her go, Frank. I'm afraid of you.  Where's the gold? I'm here in a loose floorboard in that corner over there. Go find out if he's telling the truth, Frank. All right. I'll take a minute to find out. There's a loose floorboard, like he said. Is the gold there? Yeah. Here's a couple of things. It's the gold, all right. Now what do we do, Herb? I, the old man, the girl, and gag him.  That won't take long. Well, Herb Barton held a gun. The other two cooks tied in gags, I, Atkins, and Jenny. Then they carried them to a bunk and left them there. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Can't spread the alarm now. What about the dog in the back room, Herb? They ain't get out, so why worry? I've heard stories about how he helped Sergeant Preston sexy. When Preston does come back, that dog will help him tell you that. I didn't think of that. I better fix that much more easily. You can chew that up through the window, maybe. Ah, I noticed as we rode up that all the wooden setters are closed. They fasten on the inside. I'll tell you what.  Yeah, and what? The door opens out, so you and Tim put your weight against it. Easy to open just a crack. Now you have to be careful the dog doesn't lunge against it and get through. Come on, Frank. Now what, Herb? Use the door open just a crack like I said before. I'll plug that mutt with a bullet as he lunges at the small open.  Pull it open just a little. All right. Keep your weight against it, Slim. Here, go. Quick, Frank. I'm trying to get out. Give it to him, Herb. There's no quieting. Yeah. Got him. Lying quiet. Now let's get away from here. When that money comes here, don't worry. I'll get it. All right. Now let's get away from here. When that money comes here, don't worry. You won't be able to trail it without that mutt. We'll cover our trail when we leave here. That's all right. Let's go.  We'll continue our adventure in just a moment. Listen all you fellow girls, mothers, dads, everybody.

Thinking the husky was dead, Barton and his cronies had left the door open between the rooms. But the bullet had just grazed the top of King's head, stunning him for a time.  For a moment King stood still. Then he walked slowly into the main part of the cabin where Psy Atkins and little Jenny lay bound and gagged on the box. King went over to Jenny and whine. Then seeing the girl struggle, the intelligent dog realized she was tied. He put his front paws on the edge of the bump and sniffed the cords that bound Jenny's hand. And then he started gnawing at the cord. In a few moments the cord parted, and Jenny reached up and removed the gag from her mouth. Oh, King! The body was dead! Now take the cords from his feet and sit down, Psy Grandma. Then a short time Psy Atkins was also freed and as he and Jenny stood rubbing their wrists, King whined and sniffed at the front door. Honey, honey, they got that gold every finger. But your dad were lucky King would hear and that he didn't get killed. Here, here, fellow. Yes, just like I figured. Let's put a just crease the top of King's head. Oh, uh, get a cloth and that bottle on the shelf, Jenny. All right. Poor fellow.  Here's my lucky bottle, King. Just put it in the table there.  Oh, easy, fellow. I'm not aiming to hurt you. Yeah, you'll feel better now.  He wants to go out. Maybe he wants to follow those bad men, Graham. I reckon that's it, all right. But they have guns. They'd really kill him next time. We could get Sergeant... He'll go with King and get that gold. I know he will. Sergeant Preston, that must be it. Oh! You see, Jenny, King knows we're talking about his master. He's a well-trained dog. Maybe if I kill him too, he'll go find the time. Oh, golly, Graham, have you really seen him? It's worth trying. I know he will. Sergeant Preston, that must be it. Oh! You see, Jenny, King knows we're talking about his master. He's a well-trained dog. Maybe if I kill him too, he'll go find the time. Oh, golly, Graham, have you really seen him? It's worth trying. Find Sergeant Preston, King. Get Sergeant Preston.  Oh, oh, oh! Oh, no. Oh, oh, oh! Oh, oh, oh! He's running towards the door. I'm going to stop him. Yeah, I'm sure he knows. I'll open the front door. Let him out. Oh, oh, oh! Find Sergeant Preston.  Get Sergeant Preston. Oh, oh, oh! Several hours later, Sergeant Preston, who was sleeping in the cabin of the constable at Elk Landing, was awakened by barking and scratching at the cabin door. Sergeant, do you hear that? Yes. It sounds like King. But I told him to stay at Triatkins and I got back there. And I'll go see if it is. Oh, oh, oh! Well, King, what won't you hear, fellow? What happened to your head? Come here, boy. Oh, oh, oh! What is it, Sergeant? Why, it's King's apology here, I wonder. Now, look at his head. I'm trying to tell me I need to back at the Atkins place, constable. Well, you mean you'd go back there right now because King's acting that way? Well, maybe. I know King better than you do. He trailed me here for a purpose. I'm going to dress and go back. I'm sure there's something wrong. You have that much faith in King. I'll dress and go along with you. Oh, oh, oh! That's a bullet trace on King's head. I know something's wrong. It's Triatkins cabin. Let's hurry. Oh, oh, oh! It was early morning when Sergeant Preston and the constable arrived with King at Triatkins cabin and learned what had happened. They took Grandpa's gold, Sergeant. And they got it, King. Oh, it's that poor King with King, too. I saw the bullet mark, Jenny. Now, regret that. King will not give up until he strikes under their heading place. I think King wanted to go right after him, but I told him to go for you, Sergeant. Glad you did, sir. He sure is some dog. Now, understand the way he seems. I've seen King since he was a pup, constable. Don't have to go to church now. Open me, come back, sir. I will have your gold for you. All right, constable, let's go. Come on, King. Oh, oh, oh! Once outside, King had no trouble picking up the scent of the men he hated. Meanwhile, Herb Barton and his friends, Slim and Frank, had covered their tracks by riding for a couple of miles in the shallow creek. And then, after circling the town of Whitehorse, they rode along the trail toward the south border. Finally, they sighted the deserted cabin a short distance ahead of them. Hey, we can hold up on that deserted cabin just ahead and fix some grub. I'm hungry. Yeah, I could do with some rest, too. And you reckon it's safe to stop them? I think we ought to put plenty of distance between them and that old, solid little cabin. Ah, what are you worried about? We'll be plenty safe enough. It's early morning. The money will be heading back to that cabin. He finds the old man and the little girl's hide and gagged. And especially when he finds out what you did to these dogs, they'll be hot on our trail. Sure, but even if he does manage to track us as far as the creek, he'll lose our trail there. Remember, he doesn't have that much to help him now. We've had many amount he tried at the trail just before this. That's right. And we always cut away. Person isn't going to be any better in the rest of them without that dog of his. Ah, thanks, right, then. Now, where's the cabin? Let's hide the horse behind it and then go inside. Oh, hey! Hey, come on. I'll take the gold inside where we can keep an eye on it. All right, let's go in. After King had picked up the scent of the crooks and led Sergeant Preston and the Constable around the town, the two Maldives found themselves traveling the trail south of Whitehorst. For some time, they rode in silence. And then as they rounded a bend in the trail, Sergeant Preston pointed ahead and spoke. Look, there's a cabin ahead on the left. There are horses behind it. Do you think they belong in the middle of the ocean? That's possible. That's when they came between it. The cabin was deserted. Stop them and it hit King. What are we going to do, Sergeant? We'll circle around through the trees in front of the cabin from the rear. We'll soon find out who's there.  We'll continue our adventure in just a moment.

Power to continue. Inside the cabin, Herb bought many two friends with just finished feedings, and they heard horses outside. They heard. You hear that? Something's bothering the horses. Yeah. I wonder what it is. Anything out the window? Oh, I can't get a view of the back from here. Why don't I take a look around for them? Maybe a wolf snooping around and something like that. That's what I think, but we can't be too careful. Hey, let's have some fun. Couple of mountains. Mountains? Yeah. I looked around the corner of the cabin and there was a mountain back in the tree. What are we gonna do? Take it easy. They can't prove anything against us. We'll have our guns ready. That's what we're gonna do. Great! Oh, my God! I'll plug one of those dirty red coats in. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I've got nothing on us. We have plenty on you, Herb Button. He recognizes you. I've seen enough handles on him. I'll drop those guns. You print? What's it, Characters? Oh, my God! My ribs! I dropped my gun. I'll pick up my guns. You're gonna see slow on the door for this business. Sergeant Preston stooped to pick up the guns. Herb and her last desperate attempt to turn the tables on the mouties sprang forward and swung a terrific blow to Preston's jaw. Oh, my God! The low-knocked sergeant Preston flashed against the table, which overturned, dropping him to the floor. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, wait, Constable. Don't get in the way, boy. I'm glad that happened. Barton, I'm mighty glad you started something because I'm going to finish it for what you did to my dog. Well, I am not you down again right now. That's all I need.  The fight was over. And for a moment, there wasn't a sound. Even the great dog King seemed to sense the tenseness of the moment. Then Slim forced it. Holy necks. Get up, Barton. I had enough. Here, King. Watch him, fella. Oh, my God! It must be Sergeant Preston. Yeah, nobody else could have whipped her like that. Money's set up the floor with them. These two shacks on the table must be Sergeant Gold, Sergeant. Well, take hand along with these cooks to serve his cabin for definite identification. Let's bandage their wounds and be on our way. After the cook's wounds have been attended to, they were tied to their horses. The two mouties took them back to Sergeant's place. Oh, thank you. Hold on, please. I'll bring Sai and Jenny out here to look at them. Right. Sergeant, you brought them back. Oh, Charlie, I knew you were. Come out and look them over, Sai. You too, Jenny. Come on, Jenny. Sai, Jimmy, those are the three cooks that took my gold and shot at King. That's right, Sergeant. I mean, we're often mean. I was afraid of them, too. I'll have your gold and my saddle by you, Sai. I'll get it. There you are. They say I sang, Sergeant. That dog, I can't figure out how you thought you killed him, didn't you?  He gnawed the rope, and even went after Sergeant Preston when we should have known that mutt was too smart for it.  We just had bad luck that day. Sure, and it was always good luck that Sergeant Preston left King with his last night. I'll arrest you three men in the name of the crown, Sai. What are you going to do about that gold now that you have it back? Well, I reckon I'm going to get what you told me to do, Sergeant. I'm going to ride in the town with you in the constable right now and put this gold in the bank. That's more like it. Oh, God. I think he is just the most wonderful dog in the whole world, Sergeant. You know, I think a great deal of King myself, Jenny. Ah, he's just another mutt to me. Oh! King doesn't like him, does he, Sergeant? Dogs are pretty good judges of people, Jenny. When King shows dislike for someone, I'm always suspicious of that party. Oh, you're glad you like Grandpa, me. He would do like him. Don't you think so? He certainly does, Jenny. Now, you and your grandfather better get ready to ride to town with us. And I just forget Boston and his friends in jail. Then this case will be closed.

Well, I'm sure the Marshal will cooperate soon, but what if the man's left Skagway? There's no need for you to report back here, Sergeant. Follow him. If necessary, to China. Yes, sir. But the killer is still in Skagway, expecting someone from the Northwest mounted police to follow him and hoping that someone will be Sergeant Preston. His plans are already made to make the red coat of the sergeant a target for murder. This is a guiding adventure.


received complaints from some some shoshanim that they had been discarded and replaced with baby seals and baby silets worry not my shoshanim you're always in my heart you're the first and foremost so here goes okay shoshanim today we're going to deal with narrative narrative is our core identity and what happens when narratives fail and how to fix them my name is Sam Vaknin I'm the author of malignant self-love narcissism revisited I'm also a professor of psychology in see-ups Center for international advanced professional studies the outreach program of the CS consortium of universities that was long wasn't it okay disorders of the self narcissism borderline can be easily construed as failures of narratives failures of self stories now you know my view I don't believe there is such a thing as a unitary stable immutable self across the lifespan I believe that people have an assemblage of self-states which respond to and resonate with environmental stimuli and changes but whichever the case may be self-states self they have to be organized in a way which would make sense to the individual they have to be put together somehow according to some script some story and this story about yourself who are you where are you headed to what's the meaning of your life what are your greatest aspiration what are your hopes what are your fears all these put together in a coherent cohesive framework is what is known as self narrative in narcissism the narrative breaks down there's a failure of narrative because the narcissist adopts a story about himself or herself which has little to do with reality the story is unrealistic it's counterfactual it's fantastic very often grandiosly fantastic but not only for example the shared fantasy is a narrative failure the narrative the self-narrative has to be self-efficacious it is intended to help us to survive it has an evolution it is an evolutionary positive adaptation narratives that divorce us from reality for example a psychotic narrative or a narcissistic narrative these narratives are narrative failures the same with in borderline borderline we have identity disturbance there is no fixed core there's no identity it's like a cloud a femoral ever-changing shape-shifting you can't pinpoint or pin down the borderline there's nobody there in the sense that everybody is there the borderline changes sometimes within hours everything about her including her values and beliefs and hopes and wishes and dreams everything changes and the borderline switches between self-states rapidly cycles to the point that she is not in both narcissism and borderline we have a situation of absence these are disorders of absence the in both of them there's an empty schizoid core kind of black hole which does not contain any continuous contiguous jointed information everything it's as if some improvised explosive device detonated amidst what should have been a core a kernel of identity and these are narrative failures now there is something called narrative psychology and there is something called narrative therapy where we try to fix narratives it's a form of psychotherapy we help patients to identify values and skills which are associated with it we provide the patient with some kind of knowledge or ability to experience these values and to exercise these skills in order to confront problems and so the way we do this is we encourage self-authorship we encourage the patient to co-author with a therapist a new narrative about themselves and the patient does this by investigating the history of his or her values the continuity of his or her skills narrative therapy is closely associated with other therapies for example collaborative therapy and person-centered therapy there are several techniques in narrative therapy we start with re-offering identity the narrative therapist focuses on assisting the patient to create a story about himself I'm gonna use the male gender pronoun but of course it applies to women as well so the patient is encouraged to write a story about himself about his identity but the story has to be helpful in some way it has to cope with some issue or problem or repetition compulsion and the work of this re-offering one's identity helps the patients to identify values skills knowledge to to exercise in order to leave these values and so on so forth therapist just listens and questions and directs this process of authorship having identified or having pinned down or realized the personal history and the values attached to this personal history now the patient is able to write a new narrative or to co-author a new narrative the problem usually starts when there is a discrepancy between the narrative that a person tells himself and the stories that other people tell about the person when there is a clash or a conflict or dissonance between what people say and think about you and what you say and think about yourself this is very common in narcissism and that's why narcissists have a grandiosity defense grandiosity is a cognitive distortion intended to uphold a fantasy intended to prevent a dissonant a dissonance between self-narrative and narratives about you from other people and so the story of someone's identity determines not only who you are at any given moment but also your potential for self-actualization what do you believe is possible for yourself in other words your self-narrative defines your horizon the narrative process allows you to identify values that are important to you use your skills and integrate your knowledge but it is always focused on unique outcomes it's a phrase coined by Irving Goffman unique outcomes expectations or exceptions to the problem that wouldn't be predicted by the problems narrative or story whenever we are faced with a problem and I recommended you watch my previous video about solving dilemmas whenever you're faced with a problem the problem itself is a narrative and usually embedded in the problem there's some form of catastrophizing the problem actually communicates to you I cannot be solved or you are not good enough to solve me and so rewriting or reauthoring your story creates unique outcomes in the sense that you find a way to solve the problem you find an exception to the problems overriding message I am unresolvable another technique is called externalizing conversation narrative therapy is about constructing self-narratives but of course a self-narrative is a very important part a very important component of core identity so the approach in narrative therapy is not to conflate identities with self-narratives and not to mistake problems with identities that is very very reminiscent of the way cognitive behavior therapy treats automatic negative thoughts automatic negative thoughts are narratives in effect or mini narratives but the message of automatic negative thoughts is you cannot cope with your problems they're never going to go away because your problems are who you are your problems are not just mistakes you have made but they reflect on who you are and so in narrative therapy we teach the patient to separate narrative about who they are self-story from problems and issues in life which have to do more with actions choices and decisions not with who you are the approach seeks to avoid actually the notion that the self is kind of biologically determined that there is something like a true nature equity in essence that you cannot escape it's a bit deterministic it's a bit fatalistic and narrative therapy is the opposite of deterministic and fatalistic it tells you you can rewrite yourself you can reinvent yourself you can become someone different just by sheer willpower imagination and creativity we separate in narrative therapy identities self-narratives from problems and we do this by externalizing conversations the process of externalizing allows people to consider their relationships with their problems and so externalizing focuses on your strengths on your positive attributes and allows you to construct and perform a new preferred identity which is essentially a kind of positive psychology if you wish and externalizing emphasis is about naming a problem getting a handle on it so that a person can assess the problems effects in his or her life can analyze how the problem operates or works in his or her life and can end the relationship with the problem they can simply choose to disengage from the problem ignore it in a way or engage with it in a totally new way from a point of strength emphasizing assets rather than liabilities and this leads usually to something which a prominent narrative therapist Michael White had developed it's called the statement of position map the therapist is collaborating with the patient it's a therapeutic posture he doesn't impose ideas on the patient he doesn't give the patient advice he just together with the patient explores the patient's life and history personal history autobiography together they uncover and examine a life unexamined they remember things passed to borrow from another Jew Marcel Proust Michael White developed a conversation map which by the way is is somewhat reminiscent to the map of happiness in cold therapy so he developed a conversation map called a statement of position map it is designed to elicit the client's own evaluation of the problems and the developments in their life the therapist and the client are perceived as having some kind of valuable information relevant to the process and they create together they co-create they're co-creators the co-create the content of the therapeutic conversation by imbuing it and suffusing it with this valuable information the therapist has valuable information about healing the patient has valuable information about the patient so there's a position there's a position of curiosity the therapist is curious about the patient the patient is curious about what the therapist might have to say may have to say and they collaborate and there's an implicit message you already have everything you need to transform your life you have all the skills you have all the values you have all the knowledge to solve the problems that you're facing even if you have identity disturbance you can leverage you can leverage your kaleidoscopic nature you can leverage this instability this constant shape shifting these are not necessarily liabilities these could be construed and used as assets in a new self-narrative or self-story which is not deprecatory not self-critical and does not necessarily adhere or conform to social mores and so on when people develop solutions to their own problems based on their own values on their traits on their decisions choices and behavior on their personal history they own the process they become much more committed to implementing these solutions practice a common practice in narrative therapy is remembering the therapy identifies identities that are somehow sublimated identities that are socially conformant or reflect somehow or denote social accomplishments and achievements and the practice of remembering kind of puts together these identities which are socially condoned it tries to coalesce them to support persons preferred story about themselves it disengages the identities that do not support the person again very reminiscent of how cognitive behavior therapy deals with automatic negative thoughts and similarly in gestalt Michael White was actually is actually a proponent of Jacques Derrida and he draws on his work White was curious about the values that were implicit in people's pain sense of failure and actions which are self-destructive and self-defeating what kind of values can motivate these why would anyone have a value or set of values which causes which causes self-destruction why would anyone seek pain in a way by adopting certain values where does a sense of failure come from if you do follow your values you should feel great you should feel egocintonic you should feel accomplished because you have been following your values so why don't you why don't you why do you feel so bad ultimately people feel pain or failure in relation to their values or how they would prefer their relationships or life to be these are kind of stalled initiatives that people take in life and they're also guided by implicit values by rendering the hidden text overt the implicit text explicit by doing this we actually bring to awareness conflicts dissonances and internal problems another map in narrative therapy now the therapy is very very big on maps so another map is called the outside outsider witnesses map it's a again everything in narrative therapy is a conversation between the therapist and the patient this is a narrative practice it's a practice of telling stories to each other sometimes outsider witnesses are invited as listeners in the consultation it could be other parents good friends enemies spouses spouses are enemies okay you know you know what i mean people from the outside so they are brought into the into the room into the counseling process and then they they are asked to contribute they asked to contribute to the weaving of this of this yarn of this quilt to the weaving of this emerging story and it is beautiful beautiful to behold the narrative process as it gives rise to a totally new identity and self-story which are much more helpful and beneficial to the client when outsiders are invited to the counseling or consultation room and by the way some outsiders could be for example other clients of the therapist who have gone through the process and they have knowledge and experience of the problem at hand there's no limit or limitation on who is allowed into into the room during the consultation and so these people participate and it becomes a community effort very similar to group therapy in a way and during the first interview between the therapist and the patient um even during the first interview sometimes there's an outsider the outsider listens without commenting it's it's in order to be seen the outsider's gaze helps the patient see himself or herself through an outsider's gaze maybe for the first time the patient is really seen the usual the usual protocol for the involvement of outsiders in narrative therapy is to instruct them not to criticize the patient not to evaluate the patient not to rank the patient to give him over marks and not to make proclamations opinionated proclamations about what they've just heard or what they've just seen outsiders are simply asked to say what phrase or image stood out for them in the narrative or the newly emergent narrative they ask to follow resonances between their own life struggles and the problems and issues they have just witnessed the outsider is asked in what ways they may feel a shift in how they experience themselves from when they first entered the room it is intended to demonstrate to the patient that every human interaction creates a shift every human interaction is an effect every human interaction hurts or elates nothing and no one is isolated we're all relational and so any narrative and self-story we may come up with has to take into account other people the therapist turns to the consulting to the patient the patient has been listening all the while to the outsider and then the therapist turns to him and interviews him about what images of phrases stood out in the conversation just heard and what resonances have struck a chord with with the patient so there isn't a kind of intermediation the therapist becomes a facilitator or moderator between the inputs of the outsider and the inputs of the patient and the resonances and interactions between these two inputs in the at the end an outsider witness conversation is very rewarding it's very rewarding not only for the patient but for the outsider as well the outcomes are often remarkable when the where the patient is concerned they learn that they're not the only one with this problem for example they acquire new images and knowledge about the problem and they can they choose an alternative direction in life the main aim of narrative therapy is to engage people with their problems by providing them with alternative better or best solutions which are essentially new self-stories new identities new self-narratives and everything is document everything is written down exactly as an author would do only this is a process of self-authorship with a guide or a facilitator so the person and the counselor they co-author certificates there is for example a graduation from the blues certificate about overcoming depression sometimes case notes are created collaboratively with clients to provide documentation as well as markers of progress I do the same in cold therapy rewriting who you are is a first step not a last one when you are faced with situations in life which are intractable when you feel hopeless when you feel there's nowhere to go when you feel that it is your essence that is compromising your life when you feel that who you are is the problem then of course you need to change who you are and here's the good news you have the power to do so because you are nothing but a dream you're nothing but a storyline you're nothing but a movie or a script or a theater play you can rewrite yourself you're the author of yourself and you're the exclusive author of your own life and people are out there and they can provide you with sufficient input to guide you calibrate you even evil people people with ill intentions they provide you with valuable input they part and parcel of the learning curve and experience it's a teaching moment every moment so trust your ability to become someone else and trust the world to provide you with inputs and feedback which will keep you on track which will allow you to gauge whether you are doing the right thing to not discard anything informational data that comes from the world all these stimuli all these inputs are critical for your self-betterment healing or at the very least enhanced self-efficacy in solving problems gradually you will discover that you do have stable values even as a borderline gradually you will find out that reconstructing your narrative has amazing effects not only on who you are but on what's happening to you and this is true even for narcissists cold therapy is actually a variant of narrative therapy where we write out grandiosity and replace it with a self-narrative that is realistic and allows for enhanced self-efficacy in interpersonal relationships thank you for listening


So hi everyone, I'm Molly Jane and in today's video we are talking about Bitcoin's price this week from its meteoric rise during the past weekend to the beginning of the week when it passed $8,000 and even reached $8,200 to today's fall back towards $7,000. Here with us are Eric Finman, Naeem Aslam and Anthony Pompliano. And my first question is to you Naeem. Despite today's correction, do you think the crypto winter is over and what should investors be doing right now? What I can say is that perhaps spring is here and crypto winter has ended and the reason that I'm saying is because we have touched a critical level of $8,000 and this is going to open the door towards $10,000 and perhaps more but what I really like to see the price to do is to consolidate from here onwards with the base of a $5,000 as a support level and then price to consolidate between $10,000 to $5,000. So if we kind of establish that consolidation mode because what we don't want to see is a huge amount of volatility which we have experienced in the last few weeks. So in terms of Bitcoin's price spiking, do you think that this was due to any one set of thing or set of circumstances or even possibly market manipulation or do you think that it was just a naturally occurring phenomenon? So many people can say pinpoints several different things, whether they were market rumors in the market or whether it was a consensus effect. I'm talking about consensus. I'm going to write an article in a few days on Forbes and the title of the article is going to be More Suits, Less Costumes. So that means more enterprises have entered into this space. Real projects are coming into the space to resolve the custody problem, the liquidity problem. The real examples are coming in. Companies like Deloitte, IBM, Tata Consultancy. We have seen the huge dominance in the consensus event. So that is one aspect. Number two is the momentum was already there. The fundamentals have started to change. When I'm speaking of fundamentals, I'm talking about more positive news coming out from a major enterprises coming and adopting the blockchain technology. And if they're adopting the blockchain technology, it doesn't have a direct impact to Bitcoin, but it does have, it gives a tailwind effect to Bitcoin price. And I think that is where we are moving in. That's what's driving the prices higher. Okay, so Eric, you once claimed that Bitcoin was dead. And we actually discussed this with you last December when Bitcoin was falling to 3k. But this week, we saw Bitcoin rise to 8k again. So do you still think that Bitcoin is dead? Like I said before in that original article where I said Bitcoin is dead. I think the original article said Bitcoin is long-term dead. So I'd say that's the most accurate thing where I'd say Bitcoin, if they don't solve, they have their scalability problems and there's all fragmentation. And then again, the most important thing I think is the easy on ramp. So yeah, Bitcoin as a community, it doesn't fix those problems. I still agree with that statement that Bitcoin is long-term dead. And I don't really see anybody on the outside that is, I feel like maybe on scalability, but there's still the in-fighting and I think the easy on-ramp work on those problems. So yeah, if those problems don't get fixed, I still believe Bitcoin is long-term dead. Do you think that we're entering another bull run? Or will the price go back down and just stagnate there? I think if not now, I think at some point, and I've said this before, I think Bitcoin will have at least one more bull run. I think it'll beat all-time highs at least one more time. And maybe that's not now, but I think it'll be at some point. But yeah, I mean, I've said in the past, I think Bitcoin has a lot of long-term problems that I think need to be addressed. And I think if not, you know, if they're not addressed now, you know, then I think it's kind of long-term dead. But I do think that it'll have, like I think it'll have one more big swing at least before it kind of disappears. We're seeing this market correction today. What do you think has caused it? Yeah, so we definitely know what caused the market correction. There was a algorithmically driven trade about, I think it's 3,400, 3,600 Bitcoin that was done on Bitstamp last night and essentially ate through the order book. And so if you think about this market's infrastructure is still early. It's still somewhat untested. And so whenever somebody's issuing these orders via an API, there's a lot of technology between the person who's issuing the order and the actual order book. And it looks like there were some errors there which caused it to eat through the order book very quickly. But I think that ultimately, you know, this won't matter in the grand scheme of things and, you know, kind of it'll be forgotten after a week or so. But it's kind of interesting. I've read online that some people are saying that maybe a trader accidentally put in an order to sell Bitcoin at 6,200 instead of 8,200. And now it's left what seems to be permanent market damage. Yeah, so definitely it's possible. It's a little hard to understand, you know, somebody is selling like that. Where exactly are they? What's their intentions? Right? Are they trying to sell 8,200? Do they finger it? Are they trying to manipulate the market? Right? Do they understand enough of the market to know that if they do this, it'll drag the price down? I don't think that we really know. But what we do know is kind of what happened. And the big question is why? I tend to spend less time worried about the why and just, okay, now that we understand what happened, let's move forward and kind of forget about it. So what do you think investors should do now in this situation? Nothing different. You know, look, I look at Bitcoin as it's a non-correlated, asymmetric return asset. I think that every investor should have exposure to it. The size in their portfolio is dependent on the situation. But I don't think that kind of the day-to-day price movements are really going to change the investment thesis or the investment case. And so if you liked Bitcoin at 3,000 and you liked it at 8,000, then you probably should like it anywhere in between. I don't think there really should be any change to investors' sentiment here. So do you think that this correction that's happening right now then is serious? Not at all. I think that this is natural thing, right? I remember Bitcoin was up 120% on the year, right? So it had this parabolic move from, I think it started the year around $3,700 on January 1st. It moved all the way up to over $8,000. So it's up 120%. To have a 10% to 15% drawdown should be expected, right? Things don't go up into the right forever. And so again, it's just not that big of a deal. And even if it drew down further, I still wouldn't be worried, right? So if we saw it go down to kind of $6,000 or $5,500, I don't think it's cause for concern. So my last question has to do with the volatility. Do you think that this is Bitcoin entering a period of more volatility again? Or do you think like you said it's going to correct down and then even out? What are your thoughts on the volatility question? Look, 120% on the upside in four or five months and that parabolic move, that's nice volatility as well, right? We just don't, we forget exactly the volatility when it's going in the direction of those that are long. But volatility goes both ways, right? So you can see volatility on the upside and volatility on the downside. Bitcoin is a volatile asset, right? But that also means that it's asymmetric. So in order to have large gains, you need volatility, right? It's not possible for something to stay stable and then you too make a lot of money by going up or down in value or losing a lot of money. So that volatility, I don't see that as a negative, right? In kind of 2000 to 2005 and even into the late 90s, people were talking about the volatility of technology stocks, right? Just the idea that, oh, the technology stocks are super volatile. Well, those led to some of the best returning stocks. And so I think that volatility is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the volatility continues to set higher lows every year and it moves over a long period of time and you have a low time preference. So I think a lot of people in Bitcoin, other than the traders, they're looking at this as a long-term investment and they're realizing that it has certain characteristics or qualities that other assets don't have. And so the volatility is positive. We were here today with Eric Finman, known as a teenage Bitcoin millionaire, Naim Aslam, Chief Markets Officer at ThinkMarkets and Anthony Pompliano, CEO at Morgan Creek Digital. On Monday, we're going to be doing a markets video with Maddie Greenspan. If you want us to ask him some specific questions, post them in the comments and we will ask Maddie ourselves.

Looking at two horses and some other people right from this very first shot.  All right.  Yeah, that's what he's trying to say in that scene there The meeting goes so deep. All right. We all ready? Yeah Well, it didn't happen how we expect dude these horses eyes are creepy the red like glow Not the hat Actually, no, this is probably the same same town. There's Connie's village. Maybe oh never mind Oh my god Spinal fluid they just take a little bit out and then My That is Connie's village, right Weird that they use his Got around in high school The test They don't know that Aaron just The test for the rumbling I feel like Zeke's Loki gonna expect air into one of I'm so kind of confused with what the rumbling actually is I didn't and everyone back I think it's like all the Titans in the wall are supposed to like the rumbling is supposed like Intimidate the rest of the world to not like mess with Paradise anymore and not come for the resources or anything that gas contains some of my spinal fluid. That's so gross How do I do they just take a little shot? Just put it in the little gas canister. That's weird What would Nikolo recognize Gabby in a OST The Zelda OST Yeah, sounds like I'm like running through a forest right now with Nikolo recognize them I mean they were the warriors How long has he been here for? Long time, but four years Okay Yeah, maybe he did recognize him sweat. Yeah, this is an interesting OST Yeah, why did they just randomly invite them Yes, I forgot they do kind of have a relationship. Yeah.  Yeah, big uh-oh I feel like Gabby's gonna freak out The wine bottles Yeah, I told you just gotta mean more I have a little bit of fun Not the poison one It actually is poisoned I said it probably is but I know you said it wasn't I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't would be a waste on LDNs. What is he gonna use it for then? Maybe he's got spinal fluid in it That's rude I just don't know what Nikolo even wants to do Now they know he's hiding something with it. Don't drink that one. One in particular I'm gonna go talk to him. I like how she's rooting for them. It's cute That's not how broke out of their very weak prison Oh, he realized it. Oh No He realized that they're the ones that killed social Give it to the boys in mind Oh He just wasted it or was that just a random bottle. No, that was the bottle He was hiding. Oh my god. You've found out every hit for Gabby He's gonna drink it.  He's like let me explain Oh god Nah, she's realizing it. Oh my god, bro. I don't think he's gonna do that.  Hold me So the wait the wine bottle really wasn't that important It literally zoomed in on it going almost into his mouth. Mr. Brouse just looks sad I'm really glad Gabby's like learning this though Her actions actually have consequences That is kind of important to be fair. Did she it's just like 10 year old mentality. I don't know what to say But also nicole was saying who killed who cares who killed who first it does kind of matter But and not really because the other side was just gonna do the same thing if they had the chance Yeah, he's not gonna kill her. No shot calling it putting my cards down. No shot Does he have a secret? He looks like he's got a secret He just wants everybody to get along Children of the forest Maybe this will change Gabby's mind the fact that he literally learned that she killed his daughter And he's wanting to move past it Like Garrett Dang respect though Respect it is Gabby we're talking about though. Do you think she's going to learn?  He called her Mia still Why yeah why Oh, I guess she didn't know that it was her that murdered her Yeah, yeah, that would be pretty. Yeah. That would be pretty honestly. I understand the actions now. Yeah I mean Sasha was the reason she's still alive today Dang Oh, yeah, because of the wine She's like, I don't think it matters What's in the wine? You said Wait why Why is that in the wine? Yummy. Yummy. No, stop Dude, wait, how do you see spinal fluid for the wine? They just draining my man. That's exactly what they're doing Also, what happened since he got in his mouth? He's getting transformed, right? On this trip, a few of my friends died I believe that humanity is the hope that lives on It's weird seeing them in this forest again. It feels like it's been a minute. Yeah Okay, I'm glad we're going back to this You Wait because then Zeke whenever he yells he could transform so many more people if they just all have it in their system It's Yelena's plan because she's the closest one to him. They knew someone was up with her Like they passed out Zeke So if it's just sitting in your system, how long is there just They've just been planting it in everyone Because Zeke's just gonna get like a megaphone and just transform everybody I gather everyone Overthrow Honestly a really good plan I He technically has been going along with it Gabby's realizing people can forgive That's literally yeah, actually just like someone I know Is there About a transform to we had the yeah Yeah, I thought they knew where Zeke was Oh, they like took over this they're not even gonna work with them.  Or they couldn't figure it out. Oh, Zeke is doing something to like destroy the island, but they don't but they don't care They literally said all right, I'll just make them dumber who cares Maybe they just realized that like Zeke's plan has no leverage and they can just beat Zeke if they want to I don't know it's confusing because like at first I thought it was gonna be like Zeke wasn't gonna go along with Eren There would have been Zeke and all of them against Eren, but now Zeke is already against the military So he's basically on his own island. Also. What did leave? I realized what did leave? I realized he's like we should have had who does leave. I think they should have eaten instead I'm so confused probably a lot of people I don't know there had to be something that leave. I saw in Zeke like them talking about I don't think the relationships are so clear right now So Zeke switched sides literally he didn't even switch sides He switched sides just to basically go on their cover and tear it from the inside out. I'm pretty sure Dude, wouldn't you do some research or think about bringing someone like that to your island again? How do they how do they get Zeke's spinal fluid and like transfer it in secret with nobody knowing? They said they did it a while ago, right? They said they did it when the first scout ship went out Dude can I just say poor falco, man?  It's just not fair. Dang, dude. So next episode's gonna be I was hoping erin would actually get to have a conversation with Mikaza and armin because they haven't They haven't just sat down all three of them in a long time and that was like the original group But now they want different things and I'm surprised that erin actually deemed it important enough to go find them and actually talk with them Maybe one maybe he's gonna convince them to try and come to his side That's why I said I don't think the sides are so clear right now and that I feel like a lot a lot more I'm just gonna get revealed


Hi there, I am Gary LB. Welcome to our podcast. You are listening to Nordsec Storytime. You always wanted to know more about the stories behind Nordsec CTF? Well, our talented scenario designer, Eric Boivin, will tell you the story of Nordsec Toria. Hello, this is Eric, and welcome to this third capsule about the team of the 2021 Nordsec CTF Competition. As we've discussed in the previous chapters, the CTF had a special team where participants were using their technical skills to help the medieval kingdom of Nordsec Toria. Today, we'll talk about the Black Cat Tavern, the place where participants go to actually receive the challenges. One thing that is important to me when I design a scenario for the CTF is to understand what is the role of the participant in that universe. Yes, setting reverse shells to extract flags is something you'll see in every CTF around the world. But Nordsec is making the effort to build a Korean universe where participants are not only finding flags, but where the game aspect of the CTF takes a second nature. They are doing tasks as their alter ego. I like to immerse the participants as much as possible into that universe so that they are not only someone behind their computer that is simply hacking and coding. In Nordsec Toria, the participants are apprentice wizards, and challenges are actually tasks or quests given by various characters. And what's the best way to hear about what's happening in town? Of course, at the tavern. This is where the Black Cat Tavern comes into play. First, let's all appreciate the nice pun with the word Black Cat. We wanted to have lots of animals in our team this year, and the Black Cat was our main one. One tradition in physical editions of the Nordsec is having a bar where people can gum, grab a beer, chat with the organizers, etc. And in medieval times, the local tavern was the place to hang out, play games, have a drink, and chat with everybody. In our CTF, challenges are given to the participants in a way of an online forum. All treads are individual tracks given by a persona. Elmira, who was introduced last time, was one of them. So under each tread, the participants can see the challenge that is given in the own words of its patron. By finding and submitting flags, we have a system where we trigger posts to the tread and where the participants can get information about the next steps to achieve in that track, making it very dynamic. And all of that is done in character. So the tasks are given as if the person were giving that information in their own words, just like what you would see in a video game RPG. And what is a good tavern without a friendly bartender? Ours is named Bob. He's a kind spirited fellow, and he's aware of what is going on in the city. Thanks to his connections, he's able to put a participant in contact with all kinds of jobs. He's the master of banter, and he's very keen to pass a mug of hail to the participant. One such challenge is Oni Mead, a legendary drink that is said to give the energy of Vikings. He would like to get the recipe for himself and provides the public recipe cookbook for participants to investigate. After the analysis of a logic flaw in a PHP application, they are able to forge the display of a previously unreachable recipe for a drink that is said that will give you the strength of our northern ancestors. So for the whole duration of the CTF, the Black Hat Tavern is the place to be and to meet the denizens of the Kingdom of North Sectoria, some which are ready to pay for the services of our magicians. One such strange fellow will be the topic of our next installment. Until then, I raise my glass to you and see you next time.


We are at the lock picking village at DEF CON 30 and I am going to take on an expert to see who can lock pick the fastest and figure out and do I match up. But right now let's jump in. What do we have on the table right now? We have obviously locks and then we have a couple tools. Yep. So we each have a basic master lock style lock. Yours is actually a master lock. Mine is not a master lock, but it's got basically the same internals in it. We both have a tension wrench aka a turning tool because this actually turns the core and then we have a pick here which is going to push up on the pins and we're going to set them in a certain order to find which ones are binding, which ones are loose. You set the binding pins you know first and then as you go through you'll find all the binding pins once you hit them all the lock will fall open. Okay so we have relatively identical tools, identical locks and we're going to see who can do this the fastest. Now I am I would say I've done this before and I'm curious how this is going to work out. So I would set this in there like that. Yep. I put tension on it. Yep.  Yep. And maybe he'll notice. Oh you're good. Oh okay that was a problem. Well this is clearly a harder lock isn't it? No it's actually not. The internals are pretty similar. I think what I just did this probably has a relatively flat bidding, key bidding. So what I did is when I set that back pin my pick most likely kind of mimicked what the key looks like and just set all the pins at once and that does happen sometimes. It's not uncommon for that to happen. How are you not nervous on camera? I know I'm like fumbling all over the place. I do this a lot and a lot of these locks are pretty worn out because they've been used all weekend but yeah this one is definitely worn out. I can imagine a lot of the picks here the locks here tend to get worn out or maybe even put in a place where they get unpickable a little bit. They do they do. So sometimes when people put too much tension on what'll happen is the pins will actually start to deform a little bit which will make it a lot more difficult to actually pick these locks and unlocks. I can't believe that you're able to just blow through these locks while I'm struggling. So here's the thing though. Yes same tools same locks what what makes you better than me and I know that sounds like a weird thing practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and what are you feeling for like I know this is like a hard thing like you're trying to describe how food tastes right what are you actually feeling for so you're reaching in and you're feeling the very bottom of the pin so you're trying to align your pickup with the the center of the pin internally and like this first pin you can see it's kind of when I push my pickup it just springs back into place those are the pins you want to leave alone when you find one that's actually tough to push on that is then the binding pin so that's the one you actually want to pick until it clicks and I imagine like if this is if this is the pin that you have kind of this like hole here and when you're doing tension it's kind of like pivoting that and binding it like this inside and then you're kind of kicking it up exactly when it comes to lockpicking one of the things I've always struggled with is how much tension are you putting on and I know this is because I see your your thumb kind of pushing pretty hard on it and I've always heard is it a light touch or is it a really hard to get so to begin it's a very light touch reason being people tend to put way too much tension on we start people out with about as much tension as it takes to push down a keyboard key which is not much at all so if your fingers are turning white like mine are here that we would say is too much tension I'm pretty experienced in this and I tend to actually prefer heavy tension but I've altered my techniques to accommodate that okay so with a beginner putting on this much tension what they're going to do is they're going to lock all the pins in place then they're going to go try to pick one and bend the pick what I'm doing though is I'm putting a lot of tension on just to find the binder the one that I want to push on and then when I go to pick it I'm actually loosening up that tension to set the pin and then I'm putting the tension back on to hold that pin in place and to find the next one I imagine this is where practice comes in getting that feel of the lock yep now if I want to learn lock picking and I want to get better at it so I can actually like maybe maybe compete on on some semblance of a level what is the best way to start is it to pick up this master locks like this or would you suggest a like a beginner said I know tool has these these basic locks where you have six pins in there and then it starts with one pin and then two pins and then three yeah so progressive set when you're first getting the feel of it a progressive set is going to be the best way to go the reason is you can spend a lot of time on the one and the two with the one just one pin in there you can make that pin bind or not bind so if you don't have any tension on the lock the pins not binding you can feel what it feels like to have a springy pin okay then when you force the tension on there or put any amount of tension on there you can feel what it feels like for that pin to resist your pick and I actually have people spend a lot more time on the one and the two than most instructors do reason being you can really drill it into your head the difference between a binding pin and a non-binding pin and the whole game here when you're single pin picking is finding the binding pin setting it then finding the next binding pin and setting it and then finding the next binding pin and setting it and just as soon as you've got all of them set the lock will fall open so you just said something like when you're doing single pin picking so that would be picking one pin at a time is there other ways to like pick a lot there are absolutely other techniques so there's a technique called zipping which works really well on quick set locks it doesn't tend to work as well on these which are actually Corbin keyways would this be like a quick set no those are so those are master locks those are actually a bit more tension on them so they're a bit harder to do this with but what you're doing when you're zipping a lock is you're just kind of putting a little bit of tension on and rip it this isn't the correct pick either I'm just demonstrating the technique but you're ripping the pick out of there trying to actually bounce the top pins up to create a gap between the pins is it similar to like bumping exactly it's basically bumping a lock just with a pick okay now when you're doing this you're kind of tweaking the tension just to try and get keep zipping with a little bit different tension exactly you you want to keep tension on the whole time but you want to keep a lighter tension than you would when you're picking because you want to allow those pins to be able to shoot up if you're putting a ton of tension on there then none of the top pins are going to move is there other ways of picking the lock absolutely there's zipping raking if you actually if you grab that necessary nine set over there that we offer over at the tool merch counter we have these which are called wave rakes we call them the wicked waves they've actually been designed through a computer program that mapped out a sinusoidal and cyclical wave pattern and there was a lot of time put into these to to determine the best spacing the best pattern and there's a continuous taper from the base of the pick here to the tip so if you look at the thickness of the pick it actually continually decreases as you move to the tip it's kind of hard to see but it it's uh it's definitely there and the reason that's done is when you put pressure anywhere on that pick it's completely equalized throughout the entire pick but so these are that's just kind of how these are made but these are what's called rakes and the way you use these is you would insert them in you know any lock you would use generally you would use bottom of the keyway tension with a tensioner that fits correctly and tension fitment is really important it's actually more important than selecting the correct pick is selecting the correct tensioner that is you can see here you're glazing over this topic because I think this is interesting is when I pull a tensioner I just grabbed any old tensioner yeah I want to I know we're distracting from the rake right now but that's okay how do you select the tensioner like how would I know a good tensioner so you want to select the tensioner that fits in the keyway does not block your pick and puts the uh basically you want it to get out of the way but also be able to um put tension on the core as well so you don't want it to block your pick you don't want it to pinch the core because the tensioner can move under this little piece of wording right here and actually seize up that core and what happens then is you think you're picking the lock but you're actually stopping it from moving by doing that okay so tension fitment is way more important even than proper pick selection um tensioning is seriously the most important part of this that is something which has been lost on me forever I know there's even like these ones which are like sort of sliced out I know you can kind of tension from the exactly those are made to tension from the top of the keyway like this we tend to not tension from the top when we're raking because the rake will knock the tensioner out of the keyway um I can actually demonstrate a little bit better with this tensioner here um when I'm raking the waves on the rake can catch the tensioner and completely pull it out of the okay that is the whole idea that the tensioner is actually like an important tool I know that's sort of silly I didn't realize there was that much like strain put on it yeah right I distracted us from raking yep yeah see it just happened right there so I distracted us from raking let's jump back into that how do you select which rake to use um whether it's a four or five so with rakes you would generally just try them okay um you'll try a few of them um we actually discovered just a second ago this lock is a little bit damaged so this may not work as well and this is the other thing is we're doing this all live so the fact that you're even able to pick while a camera's on you is incredible to me because I'm struggling even with the basic most basic of locks I do have a bit of practice in that so yeah the tensioner's gonna keep popping out so with with this is we've tried raking we've tried it was zipping yep single pick raking is there any other ones um there are so there are other attacks that you there's a there's a whole I know we can talk for so long right so there is an attack which is probably not going to work on this lock but I'll demonstrate how you do it it's called overlifting and an overlift attack what you're going to do is put a tensioner into the lock find the right tensioner that fits and actually let's go this way it's funny by the way I started this video going we're going to get a basic overview and now I'm just fascinated by all the different types because I've only known single pick and maybe raking the zipping and these other ones yeah so what we can do is we can actually take this pick and lift all the pins as high as they'll go and put a lot of tension on that core and then we slowly release our tension and the pins will start to fall back down and in certain locks this one's actually made a little bit too good for this to work but in certain locks what will happen is the pins will actually set themselves as you release tension so you'll feel the individual clicks as you release tension and ultimately it'll just fall open this is so funny my mouth just like wide open staring at this because I know there's like the idea in some old master locks that you can lift it and one of the techniques you're using which probably the cameras and picking up on so actually I just over lifted four oh my gosh and I just had to set the last two you actually got it that's amazing and the other technique you kind of did is you had the pick uh flipped over you weren't actually picking you actually using the flat end to shove it all the way up all right I need to ask there's this red lock over here okay we all know locks aren't all created equal obviously there's basic and master locks but this doesn't feel like any more secure than these other ones I mean like the heck the master lock is heavier than this one like what is obviously I see the name on it the abus in it's it's more of a I know it's a secure lock what makes it a secure lock so this actually serves a completely different purpose than this this one is made to secure you know your shed at home or something like that these locks are made specifically to lock out mechanical and electrical equipment for people to work on them so these locks they're made pretty the the exterior of this lock doesn't matter because it's not for security they actually want to be able to break this open and get it off in case something happens to the key holder and they need to get the machine working again but these are used for safety and the and they have to be destructively opened not covertly open that is wait hold on that's actually a really interesting concept so you use the words uh covertly and what was it what was it destructively would be destructively so effectively I want to be able to take be able to take a hammer break this thing open but not let it be pecked right exactly so when you break this open someone will know that it was broken open if you pick this lock there's a almost similar to like almost like the tamper evident exactly we want to make it be able to break open and people want to be able to open their packages but not like be able to pull it off okay exactly so these will be assigned to individual technicians each technician that's why it has this property of on the back they will generally have their name and technician number written here they will then lock the equipment out that they're working on and when they're done they are the only one that has the key to this lock okay but then if something were to happen to them while they're working if an emergency occurs they need to be able to take a hammer shatter this thing and get into the equipment but um you know no one can remove this without the people knowing I've now seen you pick I don't know three four five locks why could you pick this one just as fast as these ones I'm not sure uh I haven't tried this one and actually this is slightly different I guess the question is is like if is I don't I is this one a secure a special lock it is so the internals of this are actually very secure it has what's called security pins in it I think these have what are called spool pins which what'll happen is when you get to a certain point in the lock it will fall slightly open it will like try to open I would imagine like again I'll kind of use a crude example as if this is a normal pin where this is how these things adjust what the spool make it like a spool of thread so come in here and then just make basically you're you're thinning out the center no all the way yep all the way in the side you're thinning out the center of the pin making it look like a spool of thread yep so like that on both sides exactly so what's happening in a normal one without this you're you're picking it up across what's that line called the shear line yep you're picking this up so if this is one pin you're pushing it up and aligning the shear line where with this you kind of pick up and it binds right here yep like where the lock would come in here and bind versus then so what you have to what do you have to do after that so if you haven't bound like that yep so what you do at that point is you'll get into what's called a false set where the lock you feel like it's going to open but it doesn't and then you have to go through and you'll test each pin and find ones that will give you what's called counter rotation so when you feel counter rotation you actually feel the tensioner pushing back on this finger okay so I'm guessing it goes you know something like this exactly and so when you feel that you're going to actually let up on the tension a bit to allow that counter rotation to push your finger out of the way and then when you get past that lip there you will then apply a little bit more tension when you're right here and then the pin will set itself okay well I won't set it you'll set it but it will be able to sit up on that shelf that's created every time that you pick a pin is there ways to learn security pins similar to the basic lock set where there's going to be like six pins in there is there a way to is there like a security basin yeah we actually have what's called the advanced set and that has um from one to four spool pins in the lock it's progressively pinned with one through four spools okay now we've talked about tool so much I mean actually I should say we haven't talked about tool nearly as much as I would like to because it's such a cool organization not a sponsor or anything like that I just love what they do I've referenced this URL so many times for local laws because every state has different laws about lock sport absolutely whether or not you're allowed to use them last time I checked Michigan they're even worded a little weird because how Michigan does theirs is you have to be a certified locksmith but the way you become a certified locksmith is by declaring yourself a certified locksmith and then all of a sudden you're allowed to own lockpicks it's a really goofy law yeah and it may have changed it changed at one point but I love I love that if you go to tool that us you can see all of those laws yep absolutely the other thing is is this is do you know anything about tool where you can speak to it a little bit is it yeah absolutely are they a non-profit they're a non-profit we're a 501c3 non-profit and yeah everything we do goes back into the organization to do things like this to teach lockpicking to the public we do have individual chapters all over the US tool is actually worldwide they started in the Netherlands so tool.nl was the original guys they have they have chapters all over Europe and probably further than that I think there's tool in Japan as well in Japan I think I'm not going to speak on the legalities there I think it's a little iffy but we also have international law on the website as well oh that's great and the one thing I love about tool is like you see them here but like we disclosure is this we don't arrange these videos we come in we sit down we talk and this is the type of help that they give everyone around con which is so cool the other thing is is this is a great resource to buy lockpicks I know if you'll sell serving you seeing it but I have bought enough here I recommend other people not only do you get the learning sets and everything like that around people who are passionate about it but lockpicks are like fall into that category of you get some really scummy companies often selling them absolutely not only do they sell cheap things but also like you get like a really goofy set like a set with like yeah five different triangles this is a set on the site this is actually like the set you're selling here this one's mine too so yeah this is the set that we're selling here it's slightly different than the set we've had in previous years we used to actually have six tension tools what we've done is we've actually changed the tension tools to where instead of just being a different width they're actually a different thickness and that is way more important than the width of the tool now when I look at my kit I have tons of tension tools in there I even have metal to make tension tools on the fly because of how important tensioning is for every specific lock but we do our best to include everything that a beginner would need to start out so you know we have the the hooks here we've got the the half diamond which can be used for both single pin picking and zipping um and also to count the pins I didn't mention that but it's really easy so basically just put the flat side in lift all the pins all the way up and then slowly extract it and you'll hear the clicks you just count the clicks and that's how many pins are in the lock oh that's cool um so we have this guy which is kind of just to reach in the back of certain locks and then we have the two wave rakes which are kind of I wouldn't say the most useful but they're definitely out of the set there's a set of four of these um but these are kind of the ones that you'll get the majority of locks open with we do sell a wicked wave set that's four of these which is kind of a more complete set but we really did try to include it in the basic set because we want to make it accessible to everyone so if I want to start today yep what would you recommend picking up a set like this and then maybe the basic set of locks absolutely absolutely and uh we we generally offer a slight discount at cons where if you buy the two together you get like ten dollars off oh that's great hey thank you so much this is nothing by the way that is his handle thank you so much this was so much information I the thing I learned is that the tensioning is way more important than the pick selection that's huge for me thank you so much thank you for watching and as always hack on


Dry sliding friction and wear behavior of Cissus quadrangularis stem fiber epixy resin composite reinforced with red mud particulate filler was studied using response surface methodology, ISM, based on pin-on-disc wear test, revealing the minimum specific wear rate, SWR, of 5.93 weight percent red mud addition irrespective of other parameters, and scanning electron microscopy, SEM, images confirm the optimized results of wear properties.

how narcissists keep you from moving on they give you false hope they make you believe and give you confident feelings about something that is not true they tell you lies they give you empty promises to leave you in an unsettled state without resolution to keep you hanging on with a thought of something better with the thought of achieving your desired outcome or result because if they can get you to continue in this dangerous and difficult situation and you're able to stay patient you're able to accept and tolerate delays problems and suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious because you believe they're going to get return on your investment you believe it's going to benefit you in the end then you're more likely to stop worrying and thinking about and endure all of the disruption that they cause in they future fake they lie and promise something about your possible future in order to get what they want in the present because it makes you drop your guard and relax it makes you think that although things may be bad now it's going to get better at some point in time you will be rewarded for everything that you're going through but the problem is that it's always in the future you never actually receive the things that they were promising the things that you were expecting to receive but it works it's effective because you get caught up in the future you use it to justify everything that the narcissist is doing because they said that things are going to get better and they even showed you glimpses of the future they made it look like they were taking steps to make it a reality until you started to believe it but it was one step forward and two steps back they always pulled back they showed you a glimpse of the future but then they went backwards sometimes they were on their best behavior sometimes they showed you there was a chance that things could change but then there were other times where destructive and confused activity would begin they dangled a carrot in front of you they offered a positive consequence when sentive to you in exchange for you taking an action that you were not internally motivated to take and you got so invested and wanted to make it happen because you put a lot of your time and energy into it so you wanted a return on your investment you didn't want it to stop but it was future faking it was only intended to mislead you it was based on false hope and false beliefs because you were never going to get what you had hoped for and believed in but they tricked you they got you to believe that it could be a reality but they were never going to take the steps to make it happen you pressured them into continuing with our actions and they acted as though they would continue the task to its conclusion if you would just be patient if you would just give them more time they stole and delayed the event so that they could gain more time while you invested more and more of yourself until you eventually accepted less than what you hoped for because in the end you never got what you wanted you settle for less than what they initially promised they got the full capacity of your efforts and results but they only gave you a fraction of what they promised or they gave you nothing at all because it was all fake they lied to you at some point you get fed up you come to the decision that you need to get something back in return for your efforts and results because you waited you did everything they wanted you to do so you're fed up of waiting for them to provide what they promised and what you expected and this is when the narcissist will ghost you this is when they will end all communication and contact with you without any apparent warning or justification and they will ignore your attempts to reach out or communicate with them they will ignore your texts emails and phone calls they will avoid you in public because you let the situation complete its development without interference it's done all it needed to do they've done all of the faking and lying they've made the event appear to happen they gave you broken promises they concealed their defects and made themselves appear more attractive interesting and valuable in order to deceive you and they know they can't extract anything more out of that situation so they ghost you you've been tricked you've been cheated they got you to believe in a false promise a promise that was made with no intention of carrying it out they just used it to induce the desired behavior and it's very powerful it's very effective when someone keeps telling you that things are going to change when they keep telling you that things are going to get better but you never see any consistent progress and it keeps going back to the start they're future faking they have no intention of making it happen it's just something they're using to make you do more than necessary to make you put out more and to bind you to a certain course because you're holding out for their false promises you're trusting them without understanding or using your judgment so you give your all you do and give as much as you can you give your best efforts


My name is Tyler Richie. It took me actually two years from when I signed up until I actually came to The Art of Charm. Reason being is every time that I, you know, I was making my monthly payments or whatever and then I'd get a new girlfriend. And then I'd be like, don't need this. We're good. I got this under control. Then we'd break up again. You know, a different girl would break up. And, you know, I figured out that I do need this. Because for some reason I was filtering in the wrong people and, you know, had to break the cycle somehow. So I felt like The Art of Charm was going to be able to help me further my life and help me hopefully filter in the right people. Before I felt like I was pretty inhibited. I didn't do a whole lot of interactions with a ton of people. I'd go out with my buddies, hang out with them, see a couple of cute girls over there at the bar, go up, say hi, get rejected. Crouch back over and go back to our seats and continue drinking heavily. One of my biggest fears was talking to strangers. After a week at AOC, no reservations. After a few nights out with you guys, definitely feeling more comfortable, a lot looser in my social interactions. It's been awesome. I feel probably 100% more confident in myself. It's just taking that fear and its energy and just replacing that with something else. It's replacing that now with the excitement that you're going to have instead of that nervous energy. Everybody's got their different experiences, but let me ask you a question. What you're doing right now, how's that working out for you? Are you happy with you? Are you happy with the way things are going?  You've got the ability to change it. You know, the only person that can help you is you. And if you want to sit on the couch and be negative the rest of your life, feel free, man. If that's what you want to do, but if you want to go live a positive, vibrant life, do it. It's a significant amount of money to go out here to LA, to go through AOC and to do this. But the price is insignificant compared to what you're going to do with it the rest of your life. As you move forward, this is going to pay for itself time and time again. Because it's a huge cost up front, but it pays off over a long span of time. So you've got to look at exactly what the amount of time that you're paying for. Sure, you're paying for a week-long boot camp. That's great. What you're actually investing in is yourself. I wish I would have done it two years ago when I started. The cost is your life, as they say. So that's two years of my life that I spent without this new skill set, you can say. And that's two years I'm not going to get back. Now I know what I'm doing and the world's going to pick up on that. I just have that feeling.


Hello, I am Dr. Devananda, Head of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Manipal Hospitals. I have been practicing cardiac surgery for the last 18 years. As we are aware, our heart has four valves inside it. We have top two valves, which control the blood flow from heart, going out of the heart like iota and pulmonary artery. We also have two more valves inside the heart between the upper and the lower chambers. They are called as atrioventricular valves. On the right side, we call them as tricuspid. On the left side, we call it as mitral valve. The word mitral valve comes from the notion that it resembles the mitre which a bishop wears, bishop's hat, which has got two leaflets which is coming out. It is a very important valve because when the heart tries to pump eject blood out of the heart, it prevents the blood going back into the chamber from where it came. So it performs a very, very important function.


Now in some Christian sects, Adam and Eve were known as Saints. And to honor them, people would put up a tree of paradise, their fun name for an evergreen tree, and perform huge open-air plays on the 24th of December. Now these plays would tell the story of creation, and as part of them, the evergreen tree would represent the Garden of Eden. People would hang wafers on them to represent the Eucharist and redemption, as well as apples, the world famous forbidden fruit. Sometimes they'd even toss in a little bit of gingerbread, and sometimes the apples would be gold-covered. In later years, the apples were replaced with round objects like shiny red ornaments. That's where they started. Accompanying the tree would often be wooden pyramids that were covered with branches and held together by rope. And people would fasten candles to them, one for each member of their family. Now the clergy around this time didn't really like this practice at all and banned them. And so people started bringing their evergreen branches or trees into their homes in secret.


Beth wasn't really used enough for the hero aspect of this movie. It fell so flat, you have every opportunity to make her into an Ash character. It doesn't need to be exactly like Ash. No, but you need that aspect, somebody to fight the dead. You didn't get that with the Beth character. It's almost like she never embraced the hero in her. It's okay if she's not the hero right off the bat. Like Ash in the first movie wasn't the hero right off the bat. He became it through the struggles he went through. You don't really get that here. Not saying it's gotta be like the first evil dead in that respect, but you're not fighting with her.   I'm rooting for you. You don't root for Beth. You don't really root for anybody in the-

Now he's located in the tower this week just past the speaker's room so you're landing the tower and you just want to head left and you'll see him in this corner right here. Okay so let's check out what is Mabokka has. Okay so we have a legacy engram costing 31 strange coins. Remember people this will only give you that year one gear or year one weapon so if you want anything from year two don't ever buy these things. Okay for the tier two we have an insurmountable school fort dropping at 350 defence offering 57 intellect 39 strength or 38 intellect and 59 strength gain an additional melee charge gain bonus super energy from melee kills on minions of the darkness and gain bonus melee on orb pickups and this will cost you 13 strange coins now this is not tier 12 compatible I'll put on the screen down the top left corner and actual guide of what you need armor wise if you want to actually take a screenshot of it so you can use it for future reference but none of the actual gear this week he just brought is tier 12 compatible.
