I'm gonna talk about so um, no particular order Just right of the bat just random order. So let's start with the first one which is France so juliana listen up So we have the first program i'm going to talk about is tapiv In france and that stands for teaching assistant program in france So this is a government initiative that places applicants into french state schools to work as teaching assistants And this program has been around for a long time. That's the one i've also mentioned before in a previous live session But it's a great opportunity to live and work in france and This especially because france can be Is a country where long stave visas can be difficult to secure for non-eu citizens So if you don't have a eu passport The tapiv program can be a great way to get your foot into Europe basically The website the website to apply is tapiv.org. So if you want to learn more about that you can check that out and also to apply um So applications are evaluated based on um, french language skills So you do actually need to have french language skills in order to do this program um, however um, you know If you really really really want to do it you can learn some french and then you can probably get into it Um, teaching experience is also preferred Obviously the more things you kind of check Um on this list the better and the higher your chances are Experience working with children is also great or with adults and experience living abroad and demonstrated adaptability are good for this program Um, and the level of applicants university studies depending on what kind of degree you have that will be evaluated And general motivation and professional trajectory in in the field of teaching our education and also letters of recommendation will be looked at So a lot of things that they want not super easy to get into But it's a great program for those really interested in france and going to france So there's more information Let's look at some more stuff How to apply so that's the thing what you need why you need to know french So you need actually a 500 word statement of purpose In french, so why do you want to take this program? Why should they pick you basically? Um, then you also need obviously a scan of your passport university transcripts language language evaluation from a university french professor So that's why you need to actually have learned french in order to do this And you also need a letter of recommendation From academic or professional from an academic or professional and there is a 60 us dollar application fee Application is now already closed for this year. So you can apply in january 2023 But there's a long list of things that you need to get ready. So um starting earlier is better anyway So if that's something that you're interested in the next application is in january of 2023 So until that you have time to kind of brush up on your french if that's what you want to do Um, but yeah, this is actually one of the most popular programs in europe And also because france is so popular in general and like i said in the beginning it is kind of hard for non-eu citizens Non-eu passport holders to get into france or like work wise to work there So this program is a great opportunity And if you already know some french and you're interested in teaching english in france in this program might be really worth looking at So i highly recommend checking out the website tapeiv Dot org To learn more and to apply and you can also email them directly to get more information So we at ittt only provide this information And i present it to you. We are not affiliated with any of these programs Um, just kind of i'm just passing on the information. So maybe some of this information Might, you know, not be up to date anymore even though i checked before I i did this live so it should be up to date But what i'm saying is You know contact them directly if you're interested in taking this program Um, they will be able to better help you and know even more about it So that is france. This is the only program of this kind Um that i have found in france Um, so if you're really set on france, this is something you should look into juliana And obviously other people who are interested Okay, good. So this is france Next up, let's see which program we have next and we also have liliya here. Hi liliya. How are you doing? For mexico cool. So next up we have this program Nalcap in spain which stands for north american language and culture assistance program This program actually had a different name before um So i mentioned it in a previous live session and it changed the name. So now it's called nalcap um Which is kind of the biggest program in spain Which is why we like to mention it and it is run directly by the spanish ministry of education culture and sport And it's particularly especially for american and canadian citizens So with this program 2,500 american and canadian citizens are placed to teach english in spanish primary and secondary schools all around spain The positions they require you to work a set number of classes a week and then you also get a stipend of 702 that's the type of 702 1000 euros a month you also get health insurance coverage and a long-stay work visa applications for this program are still open So if you want to apply to teach english in spain, you can still do so for the next intake Here applications are still Running until april 7th 2 p.m local madrid spain time. So if that's something you're interested in Go for it. You can still apply for it Requirements you need to be either american or canadian aged between 21 and 60 There is more about this program This is also what they will evaluate. So it's kind of similar to the french Version so tape if you also need to have some spanish language skills College transcripts high school records and spanish language certificates can be submitted You also need to have physical and psychological suitability. So a medical form is required I believe that they will give that to you and you need to go and fill it out have it filled out by your doctor um, you also need to have Your your academic achievement will be evaluated. So a bachelor's Or bs is a minimum a bachelor's science is a minimum university junior senior or graduate So you don't have to have graduated yet, but you have to be enrolled in at least a bachelor's degree bachelor's course Previous teaching experience is always a plus Also again experience working with children experience living abroad All of those things are taken into consideration and also a teflor tea salt qualification It's not compulsory but highly beneficial. So again similar with the french program The more of these things you have the better for your application because this program is also very Competitive a lot of people want to get into it because it's the biggest one in spain. It's very very popular um Here's the how to apply. So for this one, you also need to write a statement of purpose 250 to 300 words, but it's in english The other one was in french. So a little bit easier You also need to submit a copy of a reference letter From your employer or university And you a copy of your diplomas and any other qualifications you want to submit And your passport just to show that you're american us us citizen or a canadian citizen And here is the website where you can apply So if there's something that interests you you can just take a screenshot real quick or go come back to it later to get the links This is the one in spain most popular one has been around for quite a long time already We've mentioned this before in a live session as well um It did change the name though What was it before I can't I can't remember now, but in my previous live session. I talked about this program um It was the other name Should have written that down But it's same good So then for spain, there's actually a couple of other options as well besides the now cap And then we're going to talk about those now. So Spain actually has quite a few programs Teaching programs. These are also worth worth checking out. So the one is the beta bilingual bilingual education development and assessment And this one is mostly in madrid in the capital city of spain and mostly for catholic schools actually For this one, you also need to be a native english speaker And have at least a bachelor's degree and the term and the start is in september for this one um Could also google and find the official website to find more information on how to apply But these are also really good options for people The other one that you set you set them. I'm not sure how to say this one The second one This one is for all over spain schools all over spain spain hiring. You also need to be a native english speaker Also minimum bachelor's degree and it also starts in september. So it's similar to the first one to beta but um All over spain Whereas beta or beta is only in madrid And catholic schools Then we have up international education This one is kind of great for people who want to teach young children in particular It places teachers into infant primary and secondary schools Also again all over spain and this one they say a degree is preferred But um, not necessary if you have teaching experience or experience with children And this program starts in october Then we have the last one here conversa spain, which is again in madrid or morcia Um, this one is also looking for native english speakers the age between 20 and 65 And they also require a bachelor's degree Okay Good, so if maybe the nalcab doesn't work out you can try out any of these other programs again Google them to find the um the place to apply Just wanted to put these out there because I found them and I didn't know that spain actually had all these other programs Um, so I thought I would just add the slide in to add a little bit more information about them So you can also check these out Good, so we covered france. We covered spain and spain actually has multiple programs that you can look into Next up, let's see what we're going to talk about Next up. Yeah, this one is actually I think one of my favorites So this is in hungary, which I think is really really awesome. So this one is called the central european teaching program See ctip c-e-t-p. Well, I guess c-e-t-p sounds better This is also actually a long running program that places applicants into schools all across hungary To work as english language teachers and the contracts for this one lasts approximately 10 months and usually from september to june mid june um, but They also have in some special cases mid-year placements for people who just want to get a six month experience And then this one usually lasts from january to june So that's great because some people maybe don't want to commit for a full year or they or they just don't have a full year They just want to do six months So then this program would be great for you because that's actually very very rare that they allow you just to do six months so, um Yeah, juliana says spain would be a good choice Sure, you can look into spain as well I think they're all really really great programs It just depends on you know where you want to be and what kind of background and for for the french one You need to be able to speak french for the spanish one a little bit of spanish. So um Whatever suits you But back to hungary So like I said, they also have these half contracts for six months only Which is awesome for people who don't have a full year or they just want to go somewhere for six months And they're actually also hiring year-round, which is great so with the other programs usually it's very very strict like Uh, the intake or the application process is only from this to from here to here very very strict Like you said you saw in the in the spanish one two p.m. spain time. That's when it ends The application process very very strict whereas with this one you can apply whenever you want year-round So that's awesome more information here cetp.info you can check this one out This one seems to be super organized. They have a five to seven day orientation In budapest prior to the beginning of the school year So there's a lot of support there If you decide to work with this program you will be teaching 22 to 26 Class meetings per week. So working hours teaching hours per week. You're also paid a salary In the local currency according to the same pay scale as native teachers So that's awesome Then we have uh, you'll see etcp teachers are also covered under the health care system there So that's great. You have access to that Accommodation are provided And paid for by the host institution or the government Which is also kind of rare with these programs most of these you actually need to Figure out your own accommodation. They will help you but you need to still pay for them But here it's all taken care of which is really really awesome So that's really something To look out for and cetp also provides all documents necessary to receive your work visa After arrival in hungary. So there's really a lot of great support there Um Which I think makes this probably a favorite program all of the other ones Because they're just I think in more more popular countries Um, they they kind of get away with not offering all of these benefits Because they're spain and france But hungary here has probably the best program in my personal opinion with all the benefits and the support that they offer So it's definitely worth checking out And I've been to hungary budapest is amazing. Um, I would definitely live there. It's amazing beautiful place lovely people so much culture Great food So i'm kind of trying to sell you The ctp program not affiliated with them at all I just think that's such a great program very rare to see this especially in europe. So You can take my word for it if You're in doubt if you're if you're having doubts this one. I think is really really good to look into All fouson is so sweet fousons is high looking lovely today. Thank you. Thanks for being here awesome Okay, I think there's some more information for this um that I can share with you Yes, so the requirements, of course. So what are the requirements? So this program again is open to native english speakers from the us Canada the uk or any other EU countries So it's a little bit more open you the other ones were kind of you need to be us american or canadian Here you can also be from the uk and other EU countries So a little bit better There is no official upper h limit, which is also great because the other ones were 1665 So if you're older than that you can still apply to this program, which is awesome You need to have a bachelor's degree And a minimum of a 40 hour online teflon course So if you're if you go with the standard 120 hour that we offered it you're definitely covered and it'd be a huge advantage because you have actually much more In 40 hours what they require Another great thing Partners friends or families. They can often be placed together So you can actually bring your partner or a friend or even children if you have children you can also bring them along Um and that also a really really interesting thing that I wanted to mention is The other thing where it says can I teach anything else besides english? So this program is actually not only for english teachers, but Um, if you teach english most of the time you will teach conversational english But there's also some Schools where you can actually teach classes like history literature, then they also sometimes look for german teachers Social studies american and british culture as well as various other subjects So all classes except german are taught in english. So some teachers Even coach basketball or soccer or or other sports as volunteer activities. So there's really A really a good option here and I think also for german if there's any german speakers or german nationals You can apply to this program as a german for be a german teacher that'd be also really cool actually So yeah, again cetp.info. So I really like this program I think it's really great and kind of rare to see all of these benefits in great Level of support that they seem to offer Compared to the other programs. So that's why I think this is my favorite one So far for sure in europe and you should go and check it out If you're interested in teaching english in europe and specifically hungary, which is a great country to be in anyway All right, let me see at the con let me have a look at the comments before we move on So we have house on again. Is this really? How really I mean you always are but today you're looking so beautiful love that thing around your hair Don't know how you call it. Yeah, it's some kind of like hairband headband Thank you. I actually got this On like two days ago. We had like a street market outside of our apartment It was Really cute and I thought you know what I'm gonna wear this just for you guys today. So thanks so much for noticing I appreciate it Okay, so this is cetp. In Hungary Um Next up, let's see what we have Yeah, so another really really awesome program the tlg in georgia georgia the country So tlg stands for teach and learn with georgia So this is actually a education movement initiated by the georgian government and Administered under the georgian ministry of education and science What's the purpose of this program basically? The recruitment of english teachers not only english though this program also is looking for French, italian, and german teachers So not only english if you can speak any of these other languages you can also apply And basically you will co-teach alongside local teachers in public schools Throughout this country throughout georgia Their website is tlg.gov.ge for georgia They also have a lot of really really great benefits actually so you will get a monthly salary of georgian lari So that's their currency over there You also get free round trip ticket to and from georgia, which is something that the other programs do not offer So that's really awesome. You also get free medical insurance You have paid vacation during winter and holidays during winter holidays. Excuse me You also get housing and living accommodation SIM card, which is cool. You got sim card. You will get a sim card on the tlg corporate network You also have 24 seven support from the tlg staff So if you have any problems while you're there You have a contact person that you can always reach out to which is really really cool There's also an orientation training upon arrival. You also get some mid-term trainings There's also airport pick up And professional practice and life experience. Oh, I guess that's what you get from the program professional practice and life experience cool, so This was one of the programs that I have not mentioned before and I really wanted to put it in Because I think it's such a unique program and also georgia is a very very unique place to go to. It's sort of Between europe and aegis. I think it's a really really interesting place to be in Interesting culture to experience And might be a really really great option for anyone who's looking for something something a little bit different, right? So this one's really cool Yeah, juliana also says I think this program is a great one Yeah, absolutely. So let's take a look at the requirements and what else we know about this program So you do need to be a native speaker of the language that you will teach. So either english, french, german or italian Then they also want somebody with a bachelor's degree And you also need to provide a clean nationwide criminal record check Uh, you also need to get a medical Test you need to do a medical test and be cleared of any of these Diseases here and drugs Then well, they also want somebody with who who's flexible who has an open mind and a willingness to make a difference Which I always really like um Yeah, how can you apply When can you join you can apply right now? So selected volunteers, they will be joining the program in september And the latest you can submit your application is the 20th of august So that's really really cool. And then the contract will last from september To the following year june So, um, yeah, their deadline is really really Really really long actually so you have time until the 20th of august to try it out And again, where can you apply? You just head to this website tlg.gov.ge Very cool Also, please I've never really considered going to but when I did my research about this program I always look for pictures to add in obviously to my presentation and I always do some research about the countries And it just seems like such a cool place very different from other places You know that you normally look normally see normally look at when it comes to these programs So I think if somebody's looking for something completely different. I think this program would be great for you Okay, good. Let's see what's next next up. We have a program in the check republic It actually exists. It is called a i a which stands for academic information agency So the a i a is sort of an intermediary between primary and secondary Public schools in the check republic and teachers of english So they kind of are if you will like a recruitment agency They kind of connect teachers with the schools in a way um and basically They get the applications and then they hand over this list of applicants to the schools regularly usually before the start of a new year like in september um And before the midterms again, so two times and then the schools will pick teachers who they want to hire Down here is the website. It's a little bit longer. So take a look at it d z s dot z c z And then this ending so take a screenshot and then or just google a i a check republic You're you're going to find the same website um So what more about this program? So you will receive a salary According to the same principles as check teachers like the other programs, which is really cool So you will get approximately 30 to 35,000 Check is a crone crona. Not sure check crona crones. Not sure But around a thousand three hundred forty two thousand five hundred sixty us dollars a month This is before taxes and deduction of medical and social insurance payment payments You will Take up your position For the entire school year september 1st to june 30th So with this one you have to do the full year You can't do half a year like the um the program we mentioned before in hungary That's why I was saying the one in hungary is really unique in that way Because normally they just hire and you need to do a full school year. You can't just do six months um And then a full-time schedule in this program consists usually of 24 teaching hours per week at the school There is more information i'm going to share with you so the requirements They also want a somebody with a university or college diploma Also a teacher certification Registration if you have it if you don't have that then they want to see a teffel certificate The accommodation for the teachers coming from abroad should be arranged for by the school So they will help you but you will usually have to pay for that yourself But they will kind of give you um They will help you find like the best Uh and also prize wise they kind of work with accommodations where all the teachers live usually So um, it's a good price typically um And also the schools they usually help the teachers to get acquainted with the new environment and Most schools they also offer inexpensive meals in their school cafeterias So that's the program in the Czech Republic This is also one that I haven't mentioned before and that I've found not too long ago And I just wanted to share with you because the Czech Republic is one of those places that is really popular Especially in europe because it kind of doesn't have as strict the requirements For uh teachers outside of the eu to come and get a work visa. That's why the Czech Republic is very popular All right illustri Hello linda linda nice to see you again. Hope you're having a wonderful march. I am having a wonderful march. Thank you so much I hope you too Thanks for checking in today Good. So this is the Czech Republic. I believe there is one more program. I'm going to talk about today And that's also a new one that I learned about um Yeah, a few days ago for this presentation Um And it seems to be really cool because it is in italy. So it's called the site Program, which is study intercultural training experience in italy um This one is and they call it an internship program and the the teachers are also not referred to as teachers in this program But interns So this is an internship opportunity for english speaking teaching assistants in schools in Lombardy, so that's Region in italy in the north of italy. So only in this region. That's why it's very specific Um, that's why I haven't heard about this before because it's not nationwide It's really just in this one region, but that's where the beautiful city of Milan is and Lake Como It's a beautiful region So how do you recommend going there? And the internship lasts for a total of eight months from october 1st to may 31st, which is also really cool If you join this program you get 700 euros net monthly and um, typically the teachers or interns stay either in a flat on their own Or you can also stay with a host family, which can be really cool And this is the link where to apply You can check that out.

Hey guys David here a quick video and this is about why do I feel bad? Why do I feel bad? Now as a therapist it might seem strange for me to be actually kind of questioning that question because I suppose a lot of people think that it's a therapist's job to Analyze feelings and where they come from try to figure out the roots of it all But and there is a place for that, you know, there is a place for that in healing and in psychotherapy but You can realize as well at a certain point asking the question why it's kind of like It's kind of like you think it's like peeling away the layers of an onion and eventually you'll get to the core reason why you know but it's kind of a I Never ending on it. I'm trying to think of a better analogy. It's You could spend a long long time trying to figure something like that out, right? Why I feel anxious why I feel bad Rather than checking in with the feeling itself, this is the deep work. This is the The fast track to healing. It's literally just What does the feeling think about this? Well, rather than judging it or trying to fix it and make it go away Thinking that if we do figure out the reason for it Then we will no longer have to live with it So it's kind of the point of this video is that Intellectualizing trying to figure things out is a block at a certain stage in your healing it's a It's a block to actually just going in and seeing what the emotion is like not trying to fix the emotion not trying to get rid of it But actually feeling it because the emotion itself is very very Profound it's very very insightful and intelligent It has a memory and in fact So if you listen to what the emotion is it will give you pretty much all the answers you need and Paradox of change I've talked about before it's as soon as we're ready to accept the emotion The emotion starts to shift into a different energy. So Wherever you are now watching this video of me after a little stroll The point is to not try to fix any feeling. It's just to Meet it where it is accept it fully Paradox of change is as soon as we do that it starts to move away shift So guys thanks for watching quick little reminder to Be kind to yourself develop the intimacy towards your own feelings And I'll talk to you soon. Take care


I've always felt different. There are a lot of labels to describe my difference, but none of them define me. Who am I really? What can I become? Can I overcome my challenges? Have others like me found their strength? Can I find it too? At least 20% of our population has some kind of disability. That's one out of every five people. Women with disabilities are successful in every field, in the arts, in politics, and in science. 175,000 disabled scientists working in America today. I used to think I was the only one. When I grew up, I lived in a town that was very provincial. And I was the only disabled person that I knew in my school. Then I got out and I saw that there were lots and lots and lots of people with disabilities in the world who were very active in society. By having a revolution of one, we can change our society. We don't need to think about the differences that separate us. What we need to think about are those unifying characteristics that we call humanity. A revolution of one means that every single one of us has the power to change the world, starting with changing our own lives. I'm Dr. Margaret Nosek, and I've dedicated my life to studying and improving the lives of people with disabilities. As a rehabilitation counselor and as a medical researcher, I've written hundreds of scientific articles about men and women with disabilities. And I've met amazing and inspiring people all along the way. In this program, you'll meet three extraordinary women scientists who have triumphed over their own challenges to achieve astounding success in their fields. They each endured physical and emotional struggles growing up. But they found a way to turn this pain into strength and they used the strength they've developed to help others who face challenges of the mind, body, or spirit. As you watch this program, remember that these women have done what many people thought was impossible. And if it's possible for them, it's possible for you. Whether you're rich or poor, a woman or a man, disabled or not, you can succeed in science. Don't let anybody tell you you cannot do it. Remember that you need time and you will learn how to do it. Don't allow anybody to discourage you to the point that you really cannot do it. Set your goals for what you want to do in life and do it. I learned myself through many years. I was not born blind. I became blind when I was 11 years old. I was born in Mexico, a family of 10, and everybody very healthy and very happy. When I was 11 years old, I had a severe unexpected illness. And when they were trying to help me to survive, it was damaging my optic nerve. So in a matter of a couple of months, I lost my sight. My treatment was that I had transfusions all the time, many times, two or three times a week. So that happened for about eight, nine years. I feel that the experience with my doctor led me to be in the field of psychology. He became a very, very important person in my life, not only because he was the one who kept me alive, but he started doing something else. He also was a teacher in sociology. And he told me, Verta, when you feel better, you can go to my class. And I felt like it was the most important gift I ever can get. And I would go and I would take my tape recorder and the time that I spent in bed with the transfusion, I listened to his lectures. I start questioning, what do people do to turn this pain into strength? And in a way, I was probably questioning myself, how can I turn this pain into strength for myself? When my parents realized that I was blind, they figured out that my life was over. The expectation for a disabled child was zero, especially in Mexico at that time. So I need to move away from that expectation of nothing to move on. So when I was 19, I left Mexico and I started at Braille Institute in Los Angeles where I learned Braille, mobility, techniques of daily living, and English. Three years later, I got my BA in psychology from Pepperdine University. A year later, I got my master's degree in psychology from Pepperdine. What I was doing was completely dedicated for that until my master's degree that I met my husband. And he was also in psychology, so we just kinda joined effort. And three years later, I got my PhD. A wonderful thing about United States in the school system is that there's many ways to get educated. I did a lot of with tutors. They read the book and I listened to a tape and take notes in Braille. What I do now is I get up about six o'clock in the morning, spend time with my husband, and I wake up my son, Samuel, who is 18. He is going to go to the university in six months so I'm thinking about this as a precious time for me to spend as much time as I can. And after that, I start getting myself organized for my day. My office is very convenient to my house because I wanted to deal with the mobility issues. Sometimes my husband can drop me, sometimes I take a taxi. The kind of patients that I have, a lot of them are Mexican-Americans. And they're couples and individuals, a lot of women.  My point is to you that you need to feel comfortable that your child will go. If you don't help the parents to feel calm and to feel competent, they cannot help to provide the support that I tell them to provide for their children.  We are with you. I would like to do more work in the area of research that I'm very much involved with, which is depression and then Mexican-Americans and the Latin world. My husband is very involved too, so we can really make a good team, a research team together. Things that I like to do outside my work. I like reading, I like poetry. And I like to sit and look into my life and try to be more spiritual. I don't see myself as a blind person who happens to be a psychologist. I see myself more as a psychologist who happens to have a disability. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. Elizabeth Blacko was the very first women doctor in America and she was blind in one eye. I love science because I can use my head even when my body doesn't cooperate. I dream of becoming a doctor because doctors helped me. I believe I can succeed because I know that I am strong. But will anyone else believe it? My name is Judith Badner. I have an M.D. and a Ph.D. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Chicago and I work both as a psychiatrist. I see patients with mental illnesses and I also work in statistical genetics trying to identify genes that contribute to various disorders, a particular psychiatric disorder like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Growing up certainly and even now there's no one that I know that's just like me. I think I'm the only person with dwarfism that has an M.D. and a Ph.D. combined. An M.D. allows you to do clinical work. It allows you to see patients. Ph.D. is geared more for doing research. And an M.D. Ph.D. is someone that is qualified to combine both clinical work and research work. I started getting interest in genetics when I was about in junior high school I guess. And I started to want to learn more about my form of dwarfism. I had a lot of leg surgery to prevent future problems. I was out of high school for many months at a time. My experience with the surgeries in high school very much contributed to my interest in medicine. And my family was very supportive. It was interesting that they always told me, they believed in me, they thought that I could do it and they supported me. But they told me many years later after I actually did it, they thought I was being totally unrealistic but they didn't want to be the ones to tell me. And they actually thought, well, surely they would tell her at college that this was totally unrealistic. And no one ever did so. I did it anyway. I remember for me the turning point. I was at a hospital and I saw a person with dwarfism and surgical scrubs. When I saw it I thought, gee, it is possible. And I thought, well, if it is possible that someone can do it, then it's possible that I can do it. People talk about finding a mentor that is as much like you as possible. I mean, that's not something I really saw as possible for me because I was so different. But what I've learned is you try to be flexible.  The issues involving an invisible disability are not surprisingly different from those involved with an invisible disability. And I think one of the big issues is disclosure, what you tell others. For a visible disability, you don't have much of a choice, I mean. Anyone who meets me or looks at me can tell about my dwarfism. And in some ways that makes things hard and in some other ways I think it makes it easier because I don't have to worry about, well, what if they find out this about me?  And with my patients, they always have to think about, well, who do they tell? What's gonna happen when they tell? And well, if they don't tell, what happens? When they can't keep it a secret any more. There are long hours and a lot of hard work, but there's definitely time for relaxation. In fact, I think finding that time is essential, you know, in terms of being able to do well at work. Science and medicine, both. I mean, they have a lot of flexibility in terms of what you actually do from day to day. There's a lot of different paths one could take. And even if someone had physical or mental limitations, on that might close off some paths, but other paths would still be open. Einstein, one of the most famous scientific thinkers in history had a learning disability called dyslexia.  My own fears and my own limits are the first to go. I am a pediatric neurosurgeon, and a pediatric neurosurgeon is someone who operates on the brain and the spinal cord, and specializes primarily in taking care of children with problems of the brain and spinal cord. Many times when you're starting out on a road where there are not a lot of people who have done similar things, you have to forge your own way. And for me in neurosurgery, at the time that I was initially applying, there were not a lot of women, there weren't a lot of role models that I could use. I think I always knew I wanted to be a doctor.  Probably that's because I also, when I was a child, spent a fair amount of time seeing doctors going back and forth. I have a form of spina bifida, so I had an operation when I was younger to deal with the curvature of the spine. I also have weakness in one of my legs. My right leg is weaker. It affects me primarily because it means that I have to wear a leg brace, so I need to have a shoe that is a slightly different size as well just to be able to have both legs be even when I'm walking. For me, the handicap was something which I wanted to make certain was part and parcel of who I was, but not the thing that was focused on most. If you ask me about myself, I consider myself a woman and a neurosurgeon and a wife and a person with various interests and talents, and it takes a long time for me to come to the point of saying, oh, and I have a brace. I think neurosurgery is like many high-end areas of medicine, science, art. I think all things come down to talents, ability, and interest. And then to some degree, drive. How much do you want it? The first things I did when I realized that I thought about becoming a neurosurgeon was to talk to a lot of people. I went to neurosurgeons at the institution at Columbia, where I was a medical student. I talked to neurologist. I talked to residents in neurosurgery, and I tried to define what it was that a neurosurgeon did. How did you become a neurosurgeon? What did it take to become a neurosurgeon? Did I have the physical stamina, the abilities emotionally to deal with some of the problems that they deal with, and the intellectual strength and ability to become a neurosurgeon as well. When I followed my patient into the operating room, it was love at first sight. I had never seen anything as beautiful or spectacular or interesting in all of the time that I'd been training. And I can remember details of that operation to this day, and that's 20 some odd years later. It was just exciting. It was exciting to be able to operate. My days are always full, they're always complex, and they're always changing. Generally get to work sometime between six and six thirty in the morning. Most days I will go and round on my patients and make sure the patients that I have in the hospital are doing well. I'll operate generally two to three days a week, and I'll see patients in clinic another two days a week, and then various times I'll also do various research projects. It was a time when I first came here that I spent a considerable amount of time in the laboratory doing experiments. That's changed over time as my responsibilities as chief of pediatric neurosurgery, and also my responsibilities in taking care of patients have increased, and so I spend much more time now in a collaborative fashion doing research. For me, teaching is one of the reasons also why I'm in an academic center. I love teaching residents, I love teaching medical students.  So you're not just dealing with a person who's already completely formed. I take care of problems of children that started as they were being formed, that happen as they begin to grow and develop. In some cases it's related to things like tumors that may develop at any point. The variety is enormous. I participate in a project that we've been working on now for over five years. In fact, this year when we go it'll be our sixth year to Guatemala. It's called Project Shunt, and what it represents is a combination of working with Healing the Children and the Pediatric Foundation of Guatemala to deal with neurosurgical problems of poor children within Guatemala, city in Guatemala. Last year, 25 of us went down to Guatemala and performed about 35 neurosurgical operations in a period of one week. I'm married. My husband is an architect. He comes as his own person to our relationship and so we support and love each other but also are very independent people. Right now we're in the pursuit of adoption of a child and so we've been spending a lot of time working through the process of the adoption which hopefully will be happening sometime in the next several months. And we're excited about that because we'd like to have a family. We think that that's important as well. You need to find ways to find peace in your own life because the most important thing is to make certain that you're there and ready for the next patient that needs you and to do that you have to come to the table whole. I think it's easy to know why you do neurosurgery or why you do anything that's difficult. One, because you love it and two, because at the end when all is said and done, you've done something valuable. Charles Bernay, who is deaf and blind, is considered one of the founders of modern biology for his studies of photosynthesis and reproductive science. Just because someone thinks I can't do something doesn't necessarily mean I can't. The fact is, you know, just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it can't be done. And a lot of people without disabilities have no idea what it's like to have a disability or how you can work with it or work around it. You can succeed in science because you are putting the best of you within yourself. Decide that you are not gonna take any less than the best. So what you do is you make use of what's available to you and most of all you look for quality. There are staffed scientists. I am a young woman. I am strong. Watch me succeed.


I would say that the one thing after story that really makes or breaks a film is performances. To get great performances, you need good actors. You need trained, professional, compelling actors who are going to bring your story to life. But how do you find these people? Today we're going to talk about the secret of finding great actors for your films. Casting is an art and it's one that as a director you don't really do enough. Casting directors get to see actors all day and then see how they perform in the films that they're casting. They get to develop sort of a sixth sense for who has it or whatever it is and who doesn't. But very few directors when we're starting out can afford a casting director. We have to develop our own sort of sixth sense for who's going to look good on camera, who's going to fit the character, who's really going to take your movie to the next level. It is every director's nightmare to step on set the first day, have an actor in a role that they just don't fit or they struggle with or you just don't believe them. And as a result the whole film is kind of pulled down by this. Now it's definitely the director's job and part of the art of directing to get a good performance, the best performance out of any given actor. We'll talk about that in another video. Today I just wanted to talk about finding the raw talent, finding the people that can be in your films. Five or six times that I've had an actor that's perfect for the role, that's really great, that's just fit. Almost every single time I had worked with that actor before on another project. I knew them already. I knew what they could do. We liked each other. We got on well. They had bought into the idea and they're excited to work on the project. Now that only happens if you already know that person. And I believe that the secret to great casting is working a lot, working on a lot of different projects, meeting a lot of different actors, and being able to draw from people that you already know and respect and like to work with to fulfill the roles that you have. And you might say, well, I haven't worked with that many people. How do I know good actors? Well, that's the secret to becoming a better filmmaker is working a lot. So case in point, I think in February this year, I shot a kitchen commercial. It's the same one that I did a BTS for on this channel, if you want to check that out. But I looked through backstage and Model Mayhem and Actors Access, found about 40 people, 40 actors for the wife that I thought was going to that that could have worked. I think I auditioned maybe 12 of them and presented the final three to the client who picked one who was in the commercial. But of those seven, I auditioned. One of them I ended up doing a photography project with is some of the best photos I think I've ever taken. Two of them ended up in Neon Noir, including Madison Fitz, who actually introduced me to Frank who plays Hector and Dmitri who plays Malconian. So that one project led to me meeting all these different actors who introduced me to other actors. And that's a bonus tip. Actors almost always spend time hanging out and acting with other actors. And they'll only recommend people that they respect because they have to be in the movie with them. And if they like them, but they don't think they're they're good actors, they won't recommend them because they might end up dragging down the whole ship. So working on different projects, holding auditions, making sure that I'm doing something at least every month is a way that I found that I'm meeting a lot of actors. And as a result, when a bigger project comes along, I know a lot of actors, I have contact with a lot of people, I can pull from the network that I have of people that I've worked with and I know a dependable that I know a good. Hopefully that helps someone out there find the actor that's right for your movie and start developing that work of your own. Leave your questions in the comments. I will see you next time.


Humanity going through some very, very important kind of transition into some kind of new relationship to the universe, I'd say. The kind of acceleration that would occur after the child has been formed in the womb, taking the nine months, and then suddenly it begins to issue from the womb to a child in the world. You guys, Buckminster Fuller is right. Earth has been through a tremendous evolution, and we're shifting more and more into abundance for all. Greater unity and greater love, greater actualization of everyone's potential. And it is a lot like the gestation process and being birthed into this new paradigm.

I'm back fellas! The greatest and most notorious meme-rater on the internet! Sitting down to rate some of the greatest and funniest memes on the internet. Before we get started, I have a special announcement. For the past few months, me, Duke, Davis, and Phantom have been working together to create what we're calling AMP. Stands for any means possible. It's a group. We're going to be creating group videos together. And all of those can be found on the AMP YouTube channel every Monday. I'mma leave a link in the top of the description! So scroll down, click the link, and subscribe to the channel because we're posting our first video which is a 2v2 tag team boxing video. It was hilarious by the way, when the channel hits 59,997 likes. We worked so hard on it and so thank you guys so much. I think in the first day alone we got 40,000 subscribers so we can keep pushing. The link is at the top of the description and who wouldn't want to see me take Davis's head off in some boxing matches. All right, to the memes. Oh, some good memes. I put out a tweet because I was bored. Send me the funniest memes you got! And oh boy did you guys send him. What the? Oh boy. The hell is that? Hasn't been in my vocabulary. The first meme. Everyone when they click on an AMP Davis. Okay. I hope it's not what I think it is, but I think it's still going to be what I think it is. I'm here to hear you talk at all.  We want to see your body.  Why? I told you guys that those memes are dead. You're not listening to me. Okay. The Davis thick memes were relevant when he was thick. He don't lost like 30, 40 pounds now. He's no longer that guy. So although it was once funny, it's no longer funny. Also a little uncomfortable, man.  And for that reason, I'm gonna have to give you a 3 out of 10. The top comment to that meme was this. Bro, what the f*** did you just say? Yo, it's only funny because it's so little naughty, man. The meme. Davis sends in. Oh, that's convenient. Davis sends in this meme 2k after giving us the same neighborhood. Yo, Davis, you're not a funny guy. Let's make that very clear. You're an incredibly unfunny human being. But today in this very moment, this is a funny meme. It's accurate and it's funny. I'm gonna give you a solid 8 and a half out of 10. When you realize Daylight Savings Day was on National Women's Day, so it made it shorter. Face palm emoji. I don't know why that meme is so addicting. I don't know what it is. I don't know how that's a meme.  I'm gonna have to give you a 4 out of 10. So let's look, guys, clearer memes. The memes have to make sense. I don't know what you're trying to say here. Okay, you might think I'm, okay, I am sweating. But the reason is because it literally says 78 degrees. I'm about to turn it the AC on, okay? I swear it's hot in this room. Julian sends in this one, GameStop employees win a new NBA 2K game drops. Creative memes you've seen in quite a while. You're looking at today. Guys, this is a solid meme. That's funny and I can't help but give you an 8 out of 10. That was a quick one. What if I told you the greatest comeback in the NBA history wasn't on the court? Guys, we're not gonna do this, guys, okay? Because this was funny in 2014. LeBron, I got your back, my guy. 0 out of 10. Have to do better, guys. That was funny a decade ago. Agent, bro, please. Would a crying to the floor emoji. Here is a screenshot from Legend of Winning's video where he analyzed flight reacts 1v1s. And you can see here he shot a combined 23.3% from the field and 17.6%. Willid, what are you doing? I can hear you. Did you give somebody a zero? I did. You're so extra. So after looking at those flight reacts stats, Adrian Wojnowski releases a tweet.  You have funny in you. Did you know that about yourself? You have funny in you. And you displayed it here with this meme attempt. I'm gonna have to give you a good 9 out of 10. When you see a brown shirt on a 30 game win streak. You doing here. He said some worse. Identify yourself. Who the f**k are you? That's good.  And for the culture, I'm gonna react to them. Bro, stop. Oh, I thought it was plug in a coin in there. Oh, that works.  Now forget the flesh. Has to be hot. There's no other explanation for this. Y and E. I mean G. I've seen somebody so confidently get it. Nice. Nice. Derek Lewis, the president. He's a new president. Oh, I can't. I can't. All right. There's a lot more, but I can't. I physically can't. When the guy shooting one for nine says, you got to hit those. Are you f**king for real? All right. That was the first like mediocre one. I think we've seen because it's so accurate. But is it funny? Just wasn't doing the funny for me the way the other ones have so far. But it wasn't bad. It just wasn't good. It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I'd say it's right down the middle. And because it's down the middle, I'm going to have to give you a five out of 10. Hey, I'm fine with you. I feel like a little. Did you walk by towels and bring toilet paper? And then the 2K support taking action to stop boosters and gold rush. This is accurate, guys. I can certifiably say as an authorized meme writer on the internet that this is accurate. Not only is it accurate, but it is actually one of those memes that is so accurate that it's funny. Oh, that's a rarity guys here today. So NBA 2K Intel, congratulations on your eight out of 10 rating. Sorry, guys. I'm just getting rid of all the toilet paper that's assembled randomly in my room. When you've been hash sitting for three quarters and you finally get the ball. Oh, that's good. That's good. And that's good. Now, when Ronnie releases 2K 21, Accurate.  First of all, you're making it sound like you just been through a very traumatic life event, which if we're being fair, depending on how much you spent on VC, it could have been a life traumatic altering event. But it's so incredibly accurate and has enough funny for me to give you a seven out of 10. Only people who watch the most recent video will understand. And here's a meme of Peter with the whatever that is. I don't know. Forgive me, guys. I'm not really, I don't know what that is. You guys want some tweezlers?  It wasn't, I mean, it wasn't really, it's not really a meme though, so I'm not going to give you a rating, right? Abdul sends this meme of a server serving orange juice, bring back parks, and then here 2K is going, no, I rather not. Abdul, as a talented and creative meme creator on the internet, I expect more from you. You could have done better. It's generic. It's overdone three out of 10. Actually, I amend my previous statement. I have to give it a two. It is not even three worthy. Me trying to refund 2K21 after being bam boozled by Ronnie 2K about new features again. Oh, no. I know where this is going. Customer service. Give me straight to the bro. Run it back, turbo. Customer service. Give me straight to the bro. Customer service. Customer service. Here's what you caption with this video. It is destined to be a 10 out of 10 meme. I don't know why it's so entertaining. iPod King Carter sent a meme left to put on some iPod King Carter merch so I can tell you with your merch on, I don't even have to see the meme pod. This is a zero out of 10 from a graphical standpoint. Okay. My face scan looks like those marshmallow buildings when you zero guys. I did it with your merch pod zero. Stop sending me pods. Stop. When the 2K community talks about their jump shot post patch. Something ain't right. Something ain't right. And damn it, it's time that we find out.  My God, you've been improving on your meme game or something like that. Hold on, hold on. You're supposed to be the bad meme guy. You can't leave iPod alone on an island, but I don't mind this meme. It's not a bad meme, but it's not hilarious neither. Huh. Let me ponder on this further with my associates. Okay. All right. Thank you so much for your services, sir. Tostan, man, I thought this was going to be the one, bro, but it wasn't me who made the call. It was Legend of Winning. And I'm going to have to go with it. 2 out of 10. When your meme gets a 3 out of 10 that you thought was funny. I, wow, dude, did you get another 3? Because I don't understand it. There's no dialogue to explain to me what he's going through. But until you give me more clarity on the meme, buddy, I'm giving you another 3 out of 10. EA headquarters after they heard about NFL 2K coming back. Oh, s**t. No, no, no. That's probably how it went. Because then they released their own press release talking about some, we've never had full exclusivity. We've only had simulation exclusivity. You see, guys, the whole time in the final meme. It's actually one that wasn't even sent to me. It's just one I saw on Twitter and it was like, ah, gotta include it. Still the strangest meme I've ever seen. Who made that? We need to find out who made that and put them in the lab. We have to study their brain. Because there's no reasonable human being that makes something this disturbing. After a nightmare and saw this to the nightmare.  Like this is an experienced animator. This is not a goofball who did this. Oh my God. So I just wanted to leave everyone off on that note. If you guys enjoyed, drop a like. The link to AMP is in the description. Me, Duke Davis, Phantom, uploading weekly content on Monday. Let's get that channel up. Thank you guys so much for showing love. I genuinely, really appreciate it. And I'm gonna catch you guys in the next one.


And to some entertainment user, Ugandan Raymond Malinger, who has secured a deal to produce the nation's first ever animation film for Disney, wants his work to show positive side of Africa and broaden diversity in the industry. Although African content is gaining popularity, foreign content is still dominant. However, he said there are glimmers of optimism, citing innovation in technology sector that have attracted widespread interest and coverage. The 32-year-old former break dancer and graduated with a degree in animation and visual effects from the University of Malaysia before he returned to Uganda to start his company Creatures Animation Studio in 2015. The narrative in Africa has been you sit on the news right now, and I bet you it's something bad about Africa. And they are like these small glimmers where people come up and say, hey, that guy has invented an app. This guy has done this. And I think we're contributing to that conversation. So what it means for us as the directors and what it means for me is an opportunity to contribute to that conversation, and not only that, to take it further. Because the way I view it is that this is just a platform. But there is no reason why an African studio or an African individual cannot rise above Disney, cannot become bigger than them. I don't see any reason why. So Calabanda 8 My Homework has been our flagship studio project. And after doing a Calabanda 8 My Homework, we learned a lot of things about production and the limitations of production in Africa. So we have been embarking on a journey since then to develop pipelines. How do we expand? How do we get out there? What mistakes did we make? How do we train more artists? And that's what we've been doing for these past few years. And in the process, that's how I get to also like these other international projects because they give me so much more exposure as to what we could be doing better over here. Sit down. One of you did not hand in your homework. And these books, the names on them, who was it?
