The artist versus the engineer, which one are you? Or I should say, which one are you more at this time because you have both within you? And the question is, which one should you emphasize at this time? So, when you're building an authentic business, I think you do need both. Because it's not just a money driven business. If it were a money driven business, you would be greatly emphasizing the engineer and barely anything from the artist. If it is an authentic hobby, then you are emphasizing the artist without much regard to the engineer. So let me explain what I perceive these two to mean as archetypes for creating our authentic business. So the artist is the one who is prioritizing and sensitive to the inner promptings, intuition, spiritual promptings, where her passion really wants to go. And then not really, you know, being controlled or being as as little influence as possible by other people's opinions. That's the true artist expressing something unique and passion driven and an authentic expression of their soul. On the other hand, the engineer is somebody who is prioritizing and sensitive and sensitive to the outer results and how the outer results relate to the system that he is creating. I purposely use artists she and engineer he because these things are typically true that women tend to be more on the artist side, whereas men tend to be more on the engineer side. But the truth is, just like you have masculine traits and feminine traits within you, I have masculine and feminine traits within me. We can balance these things or prioritize them based on what our needs are at this time. So my question to you is, what are your needs at this time, what might you want emphasize more within you. I really believe that our character and our personality can change over the course of our life. It can even change depending on what situation we're in. Sometimes we're more extroverted, sometimes we're introverted, you know, etc. Sometimes we can call forth the, evoke the artist within ourselves and sometimes we can, we can tap into that engineer mind within ourselves. We have both. And you could, you can see them as archetypes, or you can see them as muscles or skills to tap into. All right, so the artist. So in terms of what should you prioritize at this time. Basically, if you are in the situation where your work is making money, it's, if you're in the situation where you are financially secure. But you are bored with your work, or you are. Yeah, if you're feeling like the work is not expressing who you really are, you need to take a moment, take, take a year, take a month, take a, you know, take a, take a weekend and evoke the artist within yourself. What does that really mean. And it may even start with hobbies you might want to start there with with artistic hobbies and sort of self driven, passionate hobbies, and then see how you can weave that into your work. Now, my suspicion is that many of you are on the other side of things which is that you are wishing you were more financially secure, or at least you want your business to be financially supportive of you. And therefore you need to evoke more at the engineer within yourself because you have that within yourself, and you need to practice those muscles more. And of course it helps to be around people who are more are more of the engineer mindset so you can kind of through osmosis, get some get some from them. You know, read books takes take courses that are more helping you with the data side of your business, trying to connect what you are doing in your structures, trying to create better structures to create better external results. Okay, because money comes from external results. Money doesn't come from intuition. As much as you wish it were. That's why I have such a problem with the law of attraction as it's often taught money doesn't come from passion. Sorry, money doesn't come from intuition, or from artistry. If things can enhance a structure that creates money. Of course, artistry can wait greatly amplify a money making system and the money making structure. But money comes from other people and money comes from structure, I should say, I should say, stable money. A stable income arises from a stable structure. A reliable system. So if you don't have a stable structure, if you don't have if you're not reliable in your systems, you're not going to have a reliable income. Bottom line. Now, once you have a reliable structure and a stable system. You can bring as much artistry as you can to it because that makes the system more fun. It makes it more. It makes it more beautiful. Okay, more fun, more beautiful, more human. Right. More emotional. It makes it makes it more alive. Right. But it's still, regardless of whether it's alive or not, it still generates money. It's still a system that generates money, which is why people who are entrepreneurs can create a system. And the system just keeps making money for them because they've created a structure that makes money. Regardless of whether they're, they continue to bring their artistry and their intuition and their passion in it because into because artistry is in the moment. Artistry is now, whereas engineering is the future. You see, artistry thinks about the now. What is true for me at this, at this time, what is my heart calling me do right now. Without regard to who's watching with regards without regards to any future results. This is true for me now. Engineers say, how can we create a better tomorrow, a better next year, a better next decade. How can we create results for other people. So engineers are concerned with the future with other people, because that's where impact is created in the outer world. The outer, whereas the outer started concerned about the inner world, the sensitivities to the intuition, the promptings, you know, the spiritual, right. So you can even instead of artists and engineer, you could even say the mystic versus the scientist. Similar dichotomy. So, back to you back to what is what is needed for you now. What do you need to evoke more of in your in your life in your way of thinking. In your way of being right now in your business, more of the artist, more of the engineer I mean when I was going through a spiritual crisis, five, six, now it's about six years ago. I needed the artist, because I had created a system that made money that didn't have soul that didn't have soul. So I needed to set that aside, and just focus on the artist for a while. And I'm so glad I did. I recreated my business from the ground up from more of an artist side of things. And of course put some systems into it. Now, you know, I am happy to have a stable system, a stable income. And so let me, let me explain how you might want to balance the artist and the engineer on a regular basis. I consider it to be the macro micro perspective. Okay, so in the why of your business in the larger dream, vision, mission, cause of your business, be more of an artist be more thinking big and thinking, Oh, what if this could be. I forgot without regard to well that's not realistic, you know, it's not practical. No, the vision, the why be be an artist. Bring in the intuition and the spiritual. That's the why. Now, with regards to and I have to, at this point, refer to my notes here, because I've written a blog post about this that I'm going to post about later. Because the artist for the why the artist is artist is what creates beauty and passion, which will move you every day with that vision that why. Okay, it moves you every day into doing your business from a place of love. And the artist is more about love. And then, when it comes to the what be more of an engineer. What meaning what niche should I choose. Yes, I want that dream and want that fantasy that of that dream business that wonderful vision. But when it comes to the niche, whom should I sell my products to. Right. What kind of product should I sell. Right. What topic should I create my content about the what be more of an engineer. What what product should I what kind of audiences should I try to sell products to well let me see who has money. Who is buying stuff. Not only does who have money, but the ones who have money what are they buying, or the ones who are spending money in this overall kind of idea that I have the ones who are spending money what are they buying. Oh, they're buying that kind of stuff. Well, let me create more of that kind of stuff, the what that the product, the service, the business model, the offerings should be more of the engineer, who is, who is thinking about that. Okay, how much did I charge. Okay, what, what should I charge. Okay, what should I be offering. What kind of audience should I be reaching out to. Okay, that's the what be more of an engineer there. Now, keep going. What about the how okay now I've decided I'm going to serve this kind of people probably it's going to change over time as I figure out as I engineer it forward as I observe the data, it's going to keep changing over time, but should I create my product as I create it as I create the service as I create my content. Now bring the artist back again. So it's kind of a back and forth. You see, and let me just double check something here to make sure I am I'm streaming I'm using zoom to stream this and I just want to make sure that it is actually working okay it is indeed working. Um, apologies. So, with regards to the how bring the artist back. So for example, I decided on this topic, because one of my colleagues. So George that was a really good idea the artist and engineer you should bring that back. So, I choose my topics, based on what the market is asking of me what other people are asking of me, because other people is where money comes from, right is where referrals come from, right. So I choose I chose this topic again because of external demand. Right. But as I'm as I'm talking through this as the how of creating this topic the how of talking about this. I'm very much an artist right now. I am not trying to engineer. Okay the script. Right if I if I use the script to talk to you on video, I would be, I would be bored. I would feel constricted. Like I'm able to really be the personality that I am, the artist that I am. So in the how of creating content. I am more of the artist and how I write. Once I chose once I choose the topic based on external demand. Then I can bring the artist the intuition the passion, the emotion, the love. Okay, so the artist. So again the artist for the why the engineer for the what the artist again for the how. And again, the engineer, let's bring the engineer back for the when and the where I engineer that too. And then do I am I going to, when am I going to show up with my own one more thing about about the how courses the same thing. When I create, and also seeing clients. Right. Okay, I'm going to talk to client I'm going to work with clients what am I going to work with them on what I'm going to work with them, based on an engineer what what do they need what what what do they are they demanding of me what do they want from me. I'm going to be the engineer right, but then when I'm in the session. I am more of the artist. I tap into my intuition. I tap into my emotions my love. I try to sense spiritually what they need at this time, and then go from there. Right. You see what I mean, so they might come to me saying oh George I need this I need this I need this great. Well let's work on that but in that session I'm going to be be more of, I'm going to bring more of my intuition and I'm not going to be so I mean we must talk about this we must talk about that oh let's go through the checklist because then I'm not human in that in that meeting. Same thing about courses I choose the topic of the course based on external demand. I'll cancel a course before it's created. If there's not enough demand. And then once there's enough demand for course when I create the course when I teach the course I'm much more of the of the of the artist. Okay. Now finally, like I said, in the where I am more of the engineer. When am I going to show up.  I show up for my live Facebook videos. I'm an engineer, no matter how the artist feels Oh, the artist is like oh, I am not feeling like it right now I don't have the intuition I don't have the passion. I don't have the emotion I don't have the drive. I don't have the, the motivation right now to do it. The engineers is I don't care engineers is there's a system here that needs to run the trains need to run on time. Okay, the when and the where needs to be the engineer. Got it. When and where where meaning. Where am I going to do this where where does it make sense I've got my lighting here, but also which platform am I going to show my content on. Well, Facebook makes a lot of sense. YouTube also makes sense. These are the two biggest social media platforms still by far compared to everything else Instagram Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook and YouTube are way up there so those my my key platforms. So, again, for the why the artist for the what the engineer for the how the artist for the when and where be the engineer again. So, so utilizing both of these geniuses within you because each one has its own genius and don't demonize oh I'm an artist I don't think so much about the data that now the math the the market demand I'm not going to sell my soul. Yes, by the way, if you go too much on one side or the other and neglect the other side. It, it's problematic, especially in when creating an authentic business I'll just say that when you're an authentic business on all you are about the artists all I'm just going to do what I'm going to do what's what's what's in the flow right now. Okay, I'm just going to go with the flow.  There's there's no business, because you're just doing whatever you feel like doing and not caring about what other people think not caring about the market demand well money doesn't come from how what you feel like money comes from other people. Okay. All all engineer, just like the funnel people are right, just like the, the marketing so many marketing and business experts are just engineers you know profit profit profit. Then they lose their humanity they lose their soul they lose their spirituality, they lose their love they lose their artistry, because it's all about manipulating manipulating data, and they start to see people as numbers and data to manipulate through a funnel. So you need to engineer it's too much of the engineer, not enough of the artist. So you need and you need a balance of both. And in terms of go with the flow I this this phrase go with the flow I've always had a love hate relationship with it right because I think you need to engineer the banks of the river. First, and then you can go with the flow along the river, you can go with the flow, right, but you need to engineer the banks of the river, and then you can go with the flow right so you need both the artists and the engineer. So I hope this is helpful, or at least somewhat interesting. And thanks to those who are joining me here, Jason and Joan Marie, Donna, Paul, Patricia, captain. Thank you all. I don't see any comments right now but maybe, maybe you have some comments and questions for me that's cool if not no worries at all. And until the next video I wish you a balance of both artists and engineer within you. Take care.


I, from an IID perspective, I wanted to share a number of sort of common lessons which we've identified throughout the implementation of the project in each country. Although all approaches are obviously and rightly so tailored to each local context, we can in fact observe a number of commonalities between the different approaches, both in terms of the actual technical side of the approach, but also in terms of the methodologies which have been used. To start with, as you might have noticed, all approaches built on existing governance arrangement in each country. So in a way, they don't reinvent the wheel, but they sort of strengthen and clarify existing processes, which is a real strength because it facilitates local buy-in from communities, and also it creates conditions for ease of replication and upscaling of these approaches. And as you might have noticed as well, I think what comes on thread throughout the three approaches is it might seem simple and obvious, but it's the addition of women members on land governance bodies, which is not the name to itself, but it's definitely a key starting point. Another key lesson is that it's not just about the what, but it's also very much about the how, the methodology, so process was really key to ensure success in all three approaches. And we can again notice the pattern, there was a very strong use of past battery methods to really ensure local buy-in in all of the communities where the partners, our local partners have been working. Another lesson I think I've alluded to before is the fact that maybe to a different extent, but overall the process were very inclusive and actually, although there were very much targeting and strengthening women's voices, there were benefiting all community members, not just women, and we have to recognise that land governance in all the countries and communities where we've been working, land governance is often weak and need to be strengthened for all community members, including women. And these I think really sort of helped getting local buy-in and sort of contributes to social cohesion and all community members felt like they were gaining something from these approaches. Another lesson I think is in all the countries the impact of strengthening women's participation in land decision making processes was wider than land governance. So it strengthened women's voices at the local level more widely, which we think is a positive thing, because the approaches mean sort of challenged existing gender relations and gender roles at the community level. And finally, baby one comments on the approach where all the three approaches in relation to land governance processes, there are, we think that women's voices is a key component of a sort of broader picture. We are aware that having strengthened voices doesn't mean more land rights. So we need to look at the whole image community where these approaches have been developed, we need to look at the broader picture and see what's going on in terms of land management and in terms of clarification of rights. And these might be the object of other projects. But strengthening women's voices is a key component, which in fact is very important to take place before rights are actually clarified and certified. Because if it doesn't happen, then there is a risk that women's rights might, women actually might not be able to come forward and ask for their right to be clarified. And then hence, we might end up with a situation where most certificates or titles are issued to men which sort of would crystallise the gender disparities.


The Kraft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the Great Gilded Sleeve. The Great Gilded Sleeve is brought to you transcribed by the Kraft Foods Company. Kraft, makers of the famous pasteurized processed cheese food, Velvita. Velvita is one of the most popular members of the Kraft family of fine foods. It's known to folks everywhere as the cheese food of exceptional nourishment and delightful flavor. Enjoy it often. When you do, you may be sure you are enjoying the finest quality cheese food you can buy. Velvita, made only by Kraft. Grace Tuttle, a schoolteacher, and Throckmorton P. Gilded Sleeve, the water commissioner, have been dating quite regularly and are now a sort of comfortable feeling existing between them. Of course, an eligible bachelor like the Great Gilded Sleeve is always fair game. And today we find our pigeon helping Miss Tuttle shop at Hogan Brothers. I hope you're not tired waiting, Throckmorton. No, no, go right ahead. Of course, if I were paying for all these packages, I'd be tired. Why don't you put them on the counter here while I go over to cosmetics? Good idea, Grace. You're sweet to spend so much time helping me today.  I won't be long. All righty. All right, George, I feel real domestic this morning. Out shopping with Grace. Uh-oh. There's Marie Olsen, that new girl in town. She's cute. Hey, but I don't want her to see me now.  Oh, hello, Mr. Gilded Sleeve. Too late. Hello, Marie. It's nice to see you. Well, nice seeing you too. I've been wondering what happened to you. Me? After our first date, two weeks ago, you just disappeared. Poof. Oh, I'm still around. You weren't disappointed when you found out I was the sister of Clarence Olsen, were you? You know, no, indeed. Just that I've been busy and you've been busy. Yeah, I imagine. No, I haven't been so busy. No? After all, in a place the size of summer field, there isn't too much to do and not too many to do it with. Zeke, I wonder if she's going to talk until Grace comes back. You're uncomfortable, aren't you? Why don't you put down the packages while we talk? You're out. It isn't the packages. I mean... I understand, Mr. Gilded Sleeve. How's that? You're waiting for a girl. Me? And you'd probably be embarrassed if she came up to find you talking to a strange woman. Oh, no. What's there to be embarrassed about? Perhaps I'd better go look for her. It's getting late. Oh, no, please. I'll be discreet and vanish the way you did two weeks ago. Well, sorry. We don't have more time to talk. Oh, I'm sure there'll be another time. Goodbye, Mr. Gilded Sleeve. Bye-bye. Bye, George. She's quite a charmer. A throb, Morton. Looking for me? Hello, Grace. You were. You were looking in the wrong direction. Well... Wasn't that the girl who's new in town? Marie? Yeah, I mean, a new girl? She's very attractive, isn't she? Oh... She dresses well. I understand she likes you, too. Now, where would you hear that? Her brother told me. That sneaky Olsen. He's just trying to break us up. You worry about Dr. Olsen, and I'll worry about his sister. Oh, Grace, you know I'm true blue. Oh, I'm sure you're true blue, but your face was red when I came up. Hmm. A man can get into trouble and not even try. It's good to be home. I spent most of the day in Hogan Brothers carrying packages. Yeah. Hi, Aunt. Hello, Leroy. Hey, I took a phone call for you a little while ago. Who was it? Oh, see if you can guess. Was it animal, mineral or vegetable? Oh, my goodness. I'll give you a hint. Animal. Or an accent. An accent? Yeah. I'll ask it out for you. Hello? May I please speak to Mr. Gilded Sleeve? Oh. He's not home. May I leave a message? Sure. Let me get a pencil. All right, Leroy. Watch the message. I'm getting to it. Will you please tell Mr. Gilded Sleeve I do not understand my water bill? Leroy, come to the point. She wants you to stop by and explain it to her. She does? That's a strange request. I don't see nothing strange about that. What's this, Birdie? Isn't she the young lady you took out a couple of weeks ago? Well, yes. I bet she can figure out her water bill. What she can't figure out is why the water commissioner didn't come back.  No, Leroy. I can tell by her voice that she was just pining away. It is strange. She didn't mention the water bill when I saw her in Hogan Brothers. She probably ran right home and figured her strategy. Oh. She isn't that interested in me. No. What would she see in you? Oh, wait a minute. Looking back, she did sound a little disappointed that I hadn't been in touch with her. Yeah? And I've heard from reliable sources that she likes me. What reliable source? Well, Miss Tuttle. Your own girl knows it, huh? Ain't that something? Well, I can't help it if an attractive woman takes a fancy to me. How about that? She calls about a water bill and he puffs up like a balloon. Leroy. It's quite amusing the way Grace showed a little jealousy when she saw me talking to Marie in the store. You guillessly admitted your dynamite. If I stopped in Phoebe's and light up a cigar, I wonder if all exploded. Oh, Mr. Guillessly, what can I do for you this morning? You can give me a cigar. Okay, ma'am. You seem to be in a pretty good mood today. Things bubbling at the water work? As a matter of fact, I was about to call in a new customer. Give me one of those aromatic panettellets. My, my. You must be calling on a lady customer. Well, I don't mind telling you. It's Marie Olson. She invited me over to check her water bill. Well, she did. She wanted me to come by last night, but I was too smart for that. Can you call that smart? A Swedish accent and French perfume is a hard combination to resist in Summerfield. If she invited me over to check her water bill, I'd have to call her for her department to put me out. No, Phoebe. You're only joshing, Mr. Guillessly. Why didn't you go last night? I have to play this pretty cagey. Grace saw me talking to her in Hogan Brothers and got a little green eye. You don't say. So I'm going over there during business hours. I happen to know she's a little infatuated with me. She's new in town. It's a compliment to me, in a way, that I'm not going to let go to my head. Oh, my, no. I'm going over there and explain the water bill and get out. Well, that's up to you, of course. I'm not easily influenced by women, Phoebe. Oh, well. I'm not one to be swayed by a pretty face, a soft accent and fancy perfume. Oh, no, I wouldn't say that. Spring's in the air, all right. Listen to those birds. Hello, little birdie. Yeah. Yeah, I told Marie I'd be here at 11 o'clock and it's five minutes two. Shouldn't be early. Oh, well, what the heck? It's good public relations. Come in, Mr. Guillessly. Hello, Marie. Hope I'm not too early. Oh, I've been expecting you. May I take your hat? No, no, I'll just hold it. Can't stay. Have to get back to the office. Oh, I'm sorry. It shouldn't take long to clear up the water bill for you. Oh, that. Sit down, Mr. Guillessly. You but... I explained the water bill to myself. You did? Perhaps I should have called you and saved you the trip. You well... But I said to myself a girl shouldn't keep calling a man. Mr. Guillessly might get the wrong idea. Oh, no. Of course, it's such a lovely day. Perhaps you enjoyed the walk over. You well, I was in a hurry. I came in the car. Oh, you businessmen. You don't take time to live. It's good to walk. I walked from the curb to your door. I even listened to the birds. You can learn much from the birds. I just fed them some breadcrumbs. Well, lucky bird. Come here to the window. I want to show them to you. You? We can sit here on the love seat and watch them. You well. I have been standing up a lot today. I'll raise the window. Now, do you see that little bird on the rose trellis? Oh, yeah. Cute. Do you know what she's doing? She's flirting with the bird in the tree. Well... Now, he's pretending not to notice. He's playing hard to get, like a lot of men. Maybe he'd catch it from another bird if he paid too much attention. Nevertheless, she keeps trying. Now, you see?  You're right, George. He is.  Perhaps for the same reason you would not come if I invited you to dinner. What? You see, I'm tempting you with crumbs. Will you come to dinner, Mr. Gildersleeve? Me? Well... Unless you've spoken for every night in the week? You're nothing like that, but... I'm anxious to cook for someone. We'll have a leisurely continental dinner. I'll try to make you forget the water department and water bills and business cares. Eh... What night did you have in mind? Tonight. You should take a little time to live. Yeah, I'll be here. I'm no dunce like that bird up in the tree. Mr. Gildersleeve will be back in just a minute. I could start out tonight by just saying I have a wonderful idea for a sandwich. But this sandwich is so special, so delicious and different. I feel as though I ought to say something fancier. Here's all you do. For each sandwich, spread a half of a toasted bun with peanut butter. Cover the peanut butter with a well-drained canned pineapple slice, and cover the pineapple with a husky slice of velvita, Kraft's famous pasteurized processed cheese food. Put the sandwich into a 350-degree oven until the velvita melts, then pull it out quickly and top it with a maraschino cherry. Whether you're fixing them for the family or whipping them up for the guests, you better make plenty.  The creamy peanut butter, tart sweet pineapple, and the fine, rich yet mild-tasting velvita are a delicious combination. Velvita makes these sandwiches really nourishing, too. Every two-ounce serving of velvita, the amount you put in an average sandwich, gives you more of milk's vital food values than a big eight-ounce glass of milk. Enjoy this cheese food often, especially now, during length.  Just be sure you get genuine velvita. It's the cheese food of top quality, and it's made only by Kraft. Well, as we said in the beginning, the Great Gilda Sleeve being a bachelor is fair game for the unattached ladies. Right now, two of them are drawing a bead on him. Miss Grace Tuttle is more or less steady, and the attractive newcomer, Miss Marie Olson. We don't know which one will fire first, but he's a dead duck. Mr. Gilda Sleeve, a bachelor's troubles are the best argument for marriage, I know. Oh, Bertie. Oh, dear. When I learn not to come home and tell the family everything. I'm cute. Kill me. Remember those good intentions he had, Bertie? He said, I'm just going to Miss Olson's to explain her water bill. Oh, Leroy. I know she likes me, but I'm true blue to grace. Well, I meant it. But when I got over there, she was so cute talking about the birds. No kidding. She was telling you about the birds and bees? Just the birds, Leroy. A very sophisticated way of inviting me to dinner. All right, Bertie. I guess Miss Olson's accent got you, honk. No, not at all. Just that being with her is, well, an experience. It's like being in another world, going to see a foreign movie. Oh, brother! Miss Gilda Sleeve! Yes, Bertie? Bad news. Oh? Miss Grace Tuttle's on the phone. What's bad news about that? I don't know, but when you're going out with a new girl and your old girl calls, it's not like bad news. Nonsense. Just because I'm going over to Marie's. Hello, Marie. I mean, Grace. Brock Morton, are you trying to tease me? Who was that? Did you say Marie just to upset me? Yes, I did. Well, I probably shouldn't have said anything yesterday when I saw you talking to her. Well, she just came up and started it. I understand. Just because you talked to her doesn't mean you're interested in her. Of course not. Not me. You can trust me, Grace. It hasn't entered my mind not to trust you. I just wanted you to know I was only teasing yesterday. Oh, well, there's a little tease in all of us. Now, what I called about, you were so nice to carry my packages yesterday. I'd like you to come to dinner. Tonight? Well, I was thinking of tomorrow night, but if you'd rather come to that... No, no, no. Tomorrow night's even better. Great. Wouldn't think of upsetting your plans. Tomorrow night, then. You're fine. Thanks for calling, Grace. Bye. I don't know if I should go to Marie's tonight. Grace was so nice. Ah, go on. I'll live in that other world. Cross over the bridge. Sweet nothings to you in those foreign languages. What's she gonna feed you? French pastry or Swedish meatballs? Leroy. Right at the dinner here, I guess I should have brought Marie some flowers. If I had, George, I wouldn't give her any ideas. Listen to that. She's already got ideas. Oh well, like Leroy says, cross over the bridge. I smell something good cooking. Welcome, Mr. Gilles Le Sli. Can I have your hat? Anything you say. What did you say? Come in. Thank you. Say, you've rearranged the furniture, haven't you? A little. Won't you sit down? I see the love seats in front of the fireplace now.  Whatever you say. Of course, your table is all set. Very pretty too. Thank you. But we'll have dinner wherever you like. When a man comes home after a busy day, a woman should make him comfortable. Any way I can help with the dinner, Marie? Oh, you shouldn't help. It is for the woman to prepare the dinner and serve her lord and master. Well, you don't hear that often these days. That's because you American men spoil your women. We do? To a point where they don't appreciate you. Now, wouldn't you like a cigar before dinner? Thank you. Say, how'd you know what brand I smoke? Oh, I observed. May I light it for you? I like that. I love to see a man smoke a cigar. Well, I love to see you love to see me smoke a cigar. Why, that doesn't make sense, Rock Morton. Oh, yes it does. Oh, I called you Rock Morton. There's nothing wrong with that. No use being too formal at a time like this. It's a very musical name. Rock Morton. I hear music when you say it. It has a certain elegance befitting so distinguished a man. Thank you. Excuse me, Rock Morton, let me pull this footstool over to you.  No, Marie, I'm not used to this. Oh, you have been neglected. Now, would you like me to put on some more records? What would you like? I like that stuff you were playing when I came to the door. But let me take care of the record. No, no, no, I'll do it. Well, I could be spinning the records if you have something to do in the kitchen. Everything is arranged, thank you. So that I can devote every minute to you. Is there room for me on the footstool? There's room for you here on the love seat. Thank you. Do you like the music? Music? Oh, yes. Those strings are really crying. To me, they sing of a woman's undying devotion to her man. Eh, it seems to me I've heard birds sing ever since last night. Hello, Pee-Vee. I don't know what you're going to say. Pee-Vee, I had quite an experience last night. What are you doing here, Andy? Marie Yolson. Marie Yolson invited me over to dinner.  We didn't talk about water, believe me. Now, does this mean that you're transferring your affections from Miss Tuttle to Miss Olson? Oh, nothing like that, Pee-Vee. Grace is still number one with me. In fact, I'm going there for dinner tonight. Mr. Gildersleeve, you have more fun than anybody. Well, I lived it up last night. Pee-Vee, have you ever eaten canard selvage à la presse? Not did I know of. What is it? That's roast pressed wild duck. The duck was pressed, you say? Yeah, and renew just how to prepare it. Well, Miss Pee-Vee presses my suits, but I don't think she's ever pressed a duck. Pee-Vee, I couldn't lift a finger. She propped my feet in a hassak, played dinner music for me, lit my cigar. By George, I never had so much attention. In fact, she said I was Lord and Master. Don't you believe that? Well, it's the old world idea, and I'm all for it. Like she said, American women don't appreciate their men. That should be pointed out to them. Well, I don't think I'll point it out to Miss Pee-Vee. Well, when I go to Grace's tonight, I'm going to give her a couple of hints about how a man should be treated. Well, I'll see you later this evening, Pee-Vee. I thought you were going to be with Miss Tittle. I am, but Marie was coming into a movie, and I promised I'd meet her here later. Mr. Jones leaves that duck must have been pretty wild. Well, I did get a little carried away. God, what the heck? Grace doesn't like to stay up late. She has school tomorrow. You might say I'm having dinner with Grace and dessert with Marie. How does that sound? It sounds like I should lock up and go with you. I heard to tactfully let Grace know that men appreciate a lot of attention. What's she having for dinner? Corned beef and cabbage? Well, she just doesn't know how my tastes have changed. Hello, Throckmorton. Hello, Grace. I'm a little busy. Do you mind hanging up your coat and hat? Well, no, not at all. Then come on back to the kitchen. Come on back to the kitchen. I have to watch my corned beef. I knew it. Last night I was sitting on a love seat, and tonight I'm sitting in the kitchen. Well, how are things coming? Oh, with a little help. I guess I'll get everything on the table at once. You need help? Oh, darn hot stove. Throckmorton, I wouldn't do this for many people. Well, some girls like to cook. Yeah, well, some girls like to train animals, too. Do you mind whipping the potatoes? Oh, my goodness. Come on, get in the spirit of it. It'll be fun. Here, I'll tie an apron on you. Well, I... Is that too tight? Well, you're actually tickling. This could be fun at that. There you are. Now, may I tie one around you? Well, I'm wearing an apron, thank you. You call that bit of lace an apron? Isn't it sweet? Yeah. Now, here's the bowl and here's the beater, so get busy. Well, I... Grace? Yeah? You could be a little leisurely about this. Dinner on the stove? Don't be silly.  They do it all the time in Europe. We could go into the parlor and sit down and listen to some music. I have a little radio right here in the kitchen. Do we have to listen in the kitchen? Why not? There's always something good on this station. Can't you find something with violins? Throckmorton, you're so stuffy this evening. But... May I have this dance? Well, I know we were dancing an apron before, but what the heck? Yeah.  Yeah, I am. Let's dance out of the kitchen. All right. You know, I was thinking before you came how well we get along. We don't have to be so formal. We both like the same things. Well, I'm beginning to like this. Mr. Peavey, what do you suppose is keeping Mr. Gilder's sleeve? Well, Miss Olsen, that's your question. Why, he said he'd be here no later than 10.30. Well, he should be tomorrow's her school day. Who's school day? Anybody that should go to school. I guess I was just making conversation. Well, I'll give him five more minutes. I should have closed up the pharmacy by now. If he doesn't come, would you mind driving me home? Well, I suppose I could explain that to Mrs. Peavey, but perhaps I should try to get in touch with him. Excuse me, Miss Olsen. Do you think you can? Well, this looks like an emergency. I'll try. Thank you. You know, this is Mr. Peavey. Well, thank you. Tired of trouble you, but is Mr. Gilder's sleeve there? I've located him, Miss Olsen. Oh, wonderful. No, Mr. Gilder's sleeve isn't Mr. Peavey. And there's a party waiting here in the drugstore for you. How's that? You don't see. Very well. Very well. Goodbye, Mr. Gilder's sleeve. Is he coming right away? It seems the Lord and Master has been unavoidably detained. What is he doing? Right now he's washing dishes. Great Gilder's sleeve will be with us again in just 30 seconds. Where your family's nourishment is concerned, don't guess. Be sure.

Well, first, where's that bottle of hand lotion Marjorie left over here? You got chapped hands? Yeah, I helped Miss Tuttle wash dishes last night. The water commissioner washing dishes? Well, what's wrong with that? Nothing. Except I thought you was leading the continental life. You well. Did I ask you out doing dishes? No, Bertie. Yes, the one night he's the continental man, and the next night he's out doing dishes. You're all right, Bertie. Miss Gilder, see, you know what you are. Bertie, please.

Hey guys, it's Tilly and today I am here with the pile of books that I did not finish. I have multiple reasons why I did not finish some of these books. I'm going to go through each of them individually, give you guys my reasoning, and hopefully you can tell me if they're actually worth finishing or not, because to some of them I might have only got a few pages in, others a few chapters, and some that I know I'm just never going to finish because the book's just not for me. So starting off in no particular order, the first book that I have is Hollow City. This is the second novel in the Miss Perry Green's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. From what I can remember, I did enjoy the first book. I did get about halfway through this one here until I started like skim reading pages and chapters and I kind of thought it was pointless to do that because I wasn't even really engaged in the story in the first place. I'm not too sure what happened. I think that the plotline to this kind of just didn't interest me as much as the first book did and so I just never picked it up. If you guys have read the second book or the third book and it is actually worth finishing, do let me know. I did really like the concept to the first book and I feel like it kind of strayed a little bit in the second one but I don't know, that might just be me. I feel like there was a novelty with the book and it's kind of worn off. I still love these covers though and how creepy they are and I really do wish that that was enough for me to continue reading them. I don't think that I'm actually alone in this next one. There are a few people that don't like this series or in my case love the first book but dislike the rest of the series and that one is The Last Star by Rick Yancey. This is the final and third book in the fifth wave series, trilogy. Good job Tilly. I don't even remember what happened at the end of the second book. All I can remember is the first book and that was purely because I watched the movie recently so I don't even know what's happening at this point and I've already been spoiled as for certain characters that die in the series so I feel like that gives me no need to actually finish it because I'm not only like not committed to the story but the only character that I kind of liked is now dead so it's kind of a bit of a put-off for this story. And I have barely heard anybody rave about The Last Star so I've been really struggling to even see this book on my shelves because my mind is more occupied with other books that I could be reading.  I actually got through Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets but I just didn't get through Prisoner of Azkaban or anything else after that and I think that comes down to the fact that I was trying to force myself to read these books because I believe that everybody has to read Harry Potter but I don't think that I enjoyed these books because I feel like it was for a younger audience. I only tried to read these a few years ago so I would have been 19 or 20-ish and I just I couldn't get past the way that these books were written. But I do collect so many of the books and I am a truly invested fan into this world but I haven't actually read the books and I really should convince myself to continue reading them and maybe one day I will but with my huge TBR at the moment it's not a priority on my list and I don't know if it's going to be something that I'll enjoy and I'm kind of scared to continue reading them because what if I don't like them? What if I don't like them? Next up we have a pretty big author that I do really love so I'm kind of really heartbroken that his latest release of books I just have not enjoyed as much and that is Magnus Chase. So I could not get through and the hammer of Thor and I don't know why it's like once again I felt like the audience was too young for me so I'm not sure if it was just because of my reading slump and I will try again but I don't think that I will continue on with the Magnus Chase series in saying that I did pick up Trials of Apollo a few months ago. I did try to read that. I only got a few pages in before I put it down and never picked it up again but if I am going to try any more Rick Warden's books I'm going to try Trials of Apollo because I've heard so many great things about it. This next one I did not finish purely because I just did not like the story and that is dating you slash hating you by Christina Lauren. This is the first Christina Lauren book that I have read. My mum loves all of her books so when I saw this I was like yeah I can I can get behind this but I have not enjoyed this at all. I don't really remember anything about the characters and I only started reading this maybe a few weeks ago and I only got 50 pages into this book and it was boring. I just remember it being so so boring and the characters are bland and I felt like nothing happened with the plot and I had no interest in finding out how this was going to end. I didn't really care if the main characters ended up together or not because I wasn't invested but thanks to this book I did manage to find a bunch of other romances that I really enjoyed so I'm going to keep on doing that and sort of thank this book for leading me in that correct direction. The last one that I have is also another one that I think people will be upset that I don't like or I like it but I just don't want to read it and that is Nevernight by Jay Kristoff. There was so much hype around this book and I think I might have hyped it up too much in my head because when I started reading it I basically had to force myself to keep on going. It was actually an effort to pick this book up and to continue reading it and I know why people love it. Like I can see every single great quote that this book has but I could not keep on reading this. I got about 150 to 200 pages into this book and I was still not interested in the plot line or the characters and I did think it was pretty slow and I'm not sure if I can blame my reading some for this or the fact that I just am not interested in this book at all. Which is weird to say because I really love fantasy and I like these mean evil characters that do bad things but are sort of good because we've wrote for them but I can't keep reading this book. I literally even now thinking about how many points of things that I would like in this book I don't feel like reading it. I think it's kind of sad. I think it's sad that I'm not going to read any of these books because they all seem like some that I wouldn't enjoy. Like I obviously bought them because I would enjoy them but didn't find the place in my heart that most books do. Once again if you guys did enjoy those books please I don't mean to like offend you or anything. I couldn't read these books and I hope that one day I will eventually be able to and if you have read them and you love them that I am so happy that you did and please go into the comments and try and convince me why I should read them because if they're that good I would like to to feel that. I would like to find a home for them in my heart. So that is all that I have for you guys today. Hopefully I'll be back with another video soon and maybe one that's like Christmasy or happy or my favorite books because you know happy videos are good videos. I certainly think this is a happy video because it's making me think about all the books that I really do love. So that is all that I have for you guys today. I hope you guys have a lovely bookish day and many great things happen to you. Bye. Hey guys it's Tilly and today I'm here to show you guys my new Bath Products range when I have just started on my website at tillyandherbooks.com. I am very excited to show you guys


The study aimed to analyze the contribution of specific obstetric populations to changes in caesarean section rates using the Robson classification in two WHO multi-country surveys of deliveries in healthcare facilities. The findings showed that the caesarean section rate increased overall between the two surveys and in all countries except Japan with the use of obstetric interventions increasing over time. Caesarean section rates increased across most Robson groups in all HDI categories with the proportion of women who had previously had a caesarean section increasing in moderate and low HDI countries. The study suggests that strategies to reduce the frequency of the procedure should include avoidance of medically unnecessary primary caesarean section and improved case selection for induction and pre-labour caesarean section. This article was authored by Dr. Joshua P. Fogel, MBBS, Anna Pillar-Batran, PhD, Nadia Vindevigil, MD, and others.


There is no better time to remind some and inform others that not all fathers are men. And not all men are men.


why does it seem like Chinese people love luxury brands the most and are these luxury brands actually fully dependent on the Chinese market moving forward yeah we gotta talk about it because there's some stock news Andrew LVMH stock hit all-time highs due to China reopening in the upper class in the middle class buying up all the ever LVMH products and they're going ham in Tennessee they love the Chinese market Asia market yeah well 43 percent of the global revenue of LVMH comes from Asia and of that 43 percent 80 percent of it comes from China specifically and those trends are extrapolating into the future so long story short Andrew Asia Pacific specifically China is going to become the number one market for all these luxury brands probably 10 20 30 years in the future now of course Andrew the internet exploded because some people view luxury consumption as soft power or consumer power but make sure you like subscribe turn on your notifications Andrew we're about to get into it silly to serious hot pot boys breaking it down yeah the first comment was from offended westerners they do not want Asia and specifically China to become the number one consumer of luxury goods right because what what does that mean that shows something maybe right well I think if Americans or the western world used to be the number one consumer but now Chinese are or Asia is in general what does that mean does that mean China is going to be indeed more powerful and people are living better lives in China I don't know but obviously so it is true that you have to remember that those profits from that profit margin of every bag from like a Hermes bag is still going to go back to Europe right so Europe's still getting rich off this even though like still actually a lot of Chinese factories are still making a lot of the material for these luxury somebody said man China's success is so over hopped in the media for clicks they're just fear mongering us maybe they'll have a chance 500 years in the future they still got that ever grand mortgage crisis and the population crisis that's unavoidable hey I'll tell you this a lot of people in a lot of countries got a lot of crises okay somebody said uh you guys have to understand spending power is completely different over in China due to the cost of some items being much cheaper some items much being uh more expensive basically the structure of everything is completely different of how people can like have purchasing power somebody said uh yeah bless the ability for Chinese to survive on three bowls of rice every day with soy sauce is way different do you think westerners can achieve that yeah you know I eat this all rice every day with no flavor so I can afford this Hermes bag somebody said of course Asia and specifically in China they have some gigantic macro problems but LVMH is probably not lying on their public financial statements that 80% of their Asia sales are coming from China yeah and then this next comment was like well they still want to be American though and I was like okay you know I actually don't think that a lot of Chinese want to become American culturally they want the freedom and the protection of what being American is like yeah essentially a lot of rich Chinese people want American passports yeah but they also like Canada and I'm saying that overall Chinese especially when you're talking about rich Chinese they respect the legacy brands a lot more because the middle class has a lot of Chinese brands like local like domestic brands that maybe the middle class will consume the lower in the middle class yeah but as far as when you get to the upper crust all they want are the luxury European brands that's all that's it for sure maybe want some Japanese streetwear brands as well somebody said uh it's actually uh just called materialism um I think that Asians in a western sense seem materialistic because they just really love luxury brands I guess a lot of Asians Andrew they do have a very high IQ for like brand hierarchy right yeah I mean you know they know how what an iPhone is they know what LV is they they they know there's a whole like spectrum I mean I would say this Asians like valuable things and they actually see the real like I don't want to say real value because real value that can mean different things but they see the value in buying luxury you're saying almost like the asset value well because they hold the value it's almost like in a way buying gold to an extent right you're saying like buying a Rolex just because the the market for that brand has been so established it's not even like supreme where supreme is going to go out of fashion in like 10 years Rolexes will maintain their value like a hardcore asset class like a commodity like silver or gold at this point somebody said uh if you understand life in Asia there's just way less stuff to spend your money on people in America have gun collections yacht collections summer homes in the Hamptons jet skis boats cars a lot of people in Asia they don't even have a garage spot for their car even if they have money so they gotta spend on these small expensive items like Rolexes etc etc Bulgari do you think this person's making a point yeah it is true like a lot of life in Asia Andrew centered around these like mega cities at least in east Asia or really Asia in general really crammed apartments you're just not gonna have jet skis no i mean like and listen even if you're a rich person in like a second or third tier chinese city really what can you buy in that city that's going to be super duper fun other than buy a bunch of moet hennessey at the club pop bottles you got all the luxury goods you're gonna buy lamborghini's that's not lvmh but you know what i mean i guess like rich germans would have like i need my track car for the autobahn but it's like we wouldn't they wouldn't have that in asia right or like maybe legacy rich whites in america would have like ooh you know i'm gonna ride my six horses in the hamptons i just don't think even rich asians have horses well you know chinese they don't really have that high class society in the same way because you know they're still coming out of communism like not that long well all asia even japan to a lesser extent is coming out of insane poverty right yeah they just don't have those you're saying that victorian culture right they're not gonna buy those big wigs maybe in malaysia they're gonna buy those wigs but like you know what i mean like they don't have the wigs they're not gonna buy the wigs no they was just not as much like i don't know horse racing going on equestrian stuff i don't know you know maybe in the colonies a little bit somebody said uh why are we as asians always white worshiping french brands huh why we're just buying supreme we're buying lvmh we're drinking moet and hennessey don't we need to focus more on like asian things uh i mean first of all globally speaking those have been widely accepted as the brand right like 300 years like even japanese who make a lot of great brands themselves they still agree the japanese like oh yeah i do have to acknowledge uh lvmh is a tough brand somebody said uh for example a lot of asians but specifically chinese people they do buy expensive chinese things but they're more like relics and furniture and decorations but just not closed because let's be honest even to a chinese person shanghai tang is not that cool of a brand no listen you walking to a rich chinese person's home they're gonna have some vases some picture frames some very nice like jade sculptures that are worth like tens of thousands of dollars but then they'll have the hermes bags they'll have the jivan chi they'll have the fendi they'll have like you know the drinking hennessey so extra old they might have some expensive buy geo too though but yeah but just not yeah i mean they go buy whatever like they're like you know the fog warren they're so good at the luxury items you know i like the chinese furniture and acupuncture but for the other things uh a lot of other people handle it i think somebody said um china is just at the phase of capitalism where they are still in the esteem phase now these are what like cultural scientists or anthropologists uh they denote different stages of capitalism basically they're saying that china isn't an esteem driven phase whereas if you look at certain places like japan or sweden they are starting to move into more of a nature harmony phase yeah i think that they're trying to be more like happy with their lives solely where in china it's still a lot about flossing because you're like i just make money i just come up i gotta show everybody that i am rich now yeah this is uh driven by a new rich mentality and it literally just has to do with the stages of capitalism that your society is locked in at yeah i think sweden is just people in sweden are just very like happy knowing that their country runs really really well and like i like my volkswagen it's good at volvos oh yeah nobody's poor nobody's homeless well that's why i think it's interesting that chinese investors actually bought vovo because vovo is not is known for being like a quality over branding company that's interesting i didn't even think about that somebody said uh all asians are pretty much status driven but in china in particular you need brands to get you into certain circles and once you get into the certain circles you can actually be protected even politically that is the uh calculus behind having brands in china this was an interesting perspective yeah listen i mean listen the cool thing about america is that a billionaire you wouldn't even know that they're a billionaire by looking at them yeah i think it's been maybe changing a little bit recently but for the most part in america there's a lot of stealth wealth right yeah yeah and also if your old money let's be honest you're a little bit you're classy but you're not like flashy somebody said uh also in other societies there's a lot more other ways that people rank people for example who is more alpha in a physical confrontation that is not even a thought that people have in china with each other it's true in america especially in the streets man it matters who can murk who that's a hilarious point because like when it comes to social capital it's really more materialistic in china because like there's i mean there is some social capital and being tall and buff and like don't and you don't have a lot of money but in america that plays a lot better being tall buff good-looking but maybe yeah i think america is a very mixed country i don't even want to get into it but a lot of people don't understand it's actually like part barbaric part super advanced whereas china they're just trying to be more you know with the unix and the scholars and the dynastic and pure assistance somebody said uh rich chinese are just a small ratio of actual chinese people many chinese people only make 300 a month i'm so sick of everybody's acting like china's so rich and advanced oh it's obviously a comment from a western person by the way what they're saying is partially correct you know the truth is andrew with 1.4 billion people even if one percent are rich and then two percent are kind of rich that's still 42 million consumers with money 42 million is already more than the population of most countries on earth so it's true in some districts in shanghai you're gonna see stuff that's as pretty or even prettier than anything in the us but you're also going to see some people living in a level of poverty in china a lot of people living in a level of poverty in china that is unmatched by anywhere in the us like higher in a way a little bit higher highs but way lower lows i mean it's very difficult to categorize countries of 1.4 billion people right because the variance is insane right um somebody said the margins that these luxury brands make off chinese trying to be aspirational and uplift their own self-confidence are insane man it's crazy the way people sell these brands to people who want to feel rich but might not even be rich dude the markup on luxury brands i don't even know man it could be 10 000 on a product yeah it's crazy um but what they were saying is that these luxury brands are actually selling aspirational feelings emotion and self-confidence no like like someone said earlier it's kind of like potentially if you buy enough it's kind of like your membership into a club you're paying to be seen as part of this class of people and it helps you ping it helps you meet people it doesn't make you a better person it doesn't make you more useful but it does help you ping with and do you agree that that um needing the luxury brands to gain access to a club that seems like more in old world societies maybe like russia or china right now than in america america seems like it doesn't matter as much right now yeah i would agree with that somebody says there's a reason why arnault is the richest man in the world despite inventing nothing at least elon steve jobs and bill gates were geniuses that fundamentally changed our lives day to day whereas arnault just invented status symbols that really have no raw value well they're talking about the arnault family right which is actually like the richest family like in the world right now um do you think this is true because it's true the other people they invented stuff that like people use every day whereas the other one is status no it's true you don't need an lv bag you don't need it there's nothing does it even work better than a regular ten dollar bag i think it is probably more better well put together and the the leather's nicer but sometimes the leather's not even real leather anymore i don't know they're using this like some type of oh weird vinyl composite yeah yeah anyways somebody said man you guys don't understand raw cogs which is cost of good sold versus brand equity but uh what do you think andrew as we've gotten older do you care more about this brand stuff or do you care less i care more about luxury brands only for certain things and like maybe certain items because i still see the value and quality but no obviously we don't collect like a bunch of watches i mean i will say this you know when i was younger andrew and i could only afford forever 21 clothes i still had a real lv wallet and nowadays andrew i can afford better than forever 21 clothes but i actually just use a vault wallet that i got off amazon because of the usability so it you know in your age have become more uh utility based a little bit more is that me moving beyond the esteem phase on this wow david are you thinking real swedish are you becoming swedish in japanese now i don't know maybe i'm on a different place in maslow's iokim needs um let's get to the takeaways andrew why do you think chinese are such a main driver of the arnault family's wealth uh obviously they're not doing it because they want to make this french guy rich it's because they like the products that lv mh of the conglomerate have all bought i mean yeah trust me guys these chinese people are not trying to become french like yeah you know i buy all the french brand but uh i don't even eat french food right they're still eating mala xianguo and all these things right uh no i mean i i think it's because they look at european culture first of all these are brands that are established these they're super high quality they have a super high standard super expensive they hold their value oh the branding like when you walk into tiffany's even though the diamonds and the jewels and the gold are overpriced obviously there's just a whole vibe when you walk into tiffany's right but i will say this i do think chinese understand the value of like which country they want to go to so i think while they want to go shop in paris i think they would like an american passport and a canadian passport or an australian passport right right they would still value those even though they're not like yeah i don't like any like american brand maybe beside nike but like aside from nike i don't care about any american clothing brand right you say they want french clothing an american passport and to eat hot pot who knows man um what do you think about these french european brands still trying to figure out how to market to asia pacific and specifically china since china may in the next 10 20 30 years become their number one target market even more than western countries are they still going through this process because there has been a couple high profile mess ups whether it was dolce and cabana um being racist dior doing the islant gucci picking certain models that had hyper stereotypical features mercedes doing the same thing as well are they trying to be edgy are they trying to show respect but they they just it goes wrong or is it more like d and g where it's just like yo what were your marketing people thinking yeah i think though i think as they continually uh market towards chinese specifically uh it will actually help the soft power of chinese overall globally a little bit because when these brands cater to chinese other people will see that and then they might subconsciously treat asians a little bit differently however i will say the people who are primarily buying luxury brands i don't think that these are always the same people who are hating on asian people right i think those are mostly separate um do you think china will ever grow out of this esteem phase of wanting to stunt on each other in a obvious brand driven way probably not for another i don't know 80 100 years no i don't think so god it's uh listen uh you know what you may want to speed up the stages of capitalism but whatever phase you are in it is a candle that must burn at the slow pace you know and good for us john you know john week uh yeah i think man i mean dude chinese are gonna love material things and status things for for many years do you think that china will ever develop its own uh luxury domestic products like japan did i mean you see it a little bit now with leaning you know the way away 10 shoes they're like 250 uh you see it a little bit with their their phones you know some of the huawei opal phones they're like 2000 they have a couple uh wines that i heard that are really expensive they have some expensive byju i think it'll look different um as far as new cars are yeah i i don't think it won't be it will be necessarily competing in the same lane as ermez and gervanti and all that stuff it's very hard even for an american brand to reach that tier yeah but but they'll have other high tier brands maybe not watches and stuff but you know other brands other brands uh to address the geopolitical comment that we started off with andrew how much does the consumption of luxury goods mean on a unlike a who's win in the world scale i don't know maybe it also means that chinese people are just trying to like get their money into some products and not in like don't keep it in cash you know because obviously there is some instability there you gotta talk about that's why people want foreign passports and stuff yeah i don't know i mean uh what do you think i honestly think that uh it doesn't really mean much i mean i think it's like one of the things of like 20 that means something in terms of like who the luxury brands are catering to but uh i certainly don't think that it means everything yeah i don't know if the american military cares about this stat that china is like well you know china has bought all the luxury goods they're buying all the lvmh that means that their army is strong is it like in john wick andrew who is uh who is the high table catering to in john week is everything john wick who knows man let us know in the comments section below how much does this mean doesn't mean anything doesn't mean nothing at all i'll keep it civil until next time we'll hop up boys we out peace


Problem Library was started around five years ago from a series of conversations looking at what we thought was missing in terms of education, support for artists, and then cultural infrastructure here in San Francisco. It was entirely critical that we kept our costs low. One of the first things we did after we became a non-profit was sign up for TechSoup, actually, for QuickBooks to start doing accounting, which I did for the first five years on my own. There's very little support for a start-up non-profit. It's almost not even a category, and that's been difficult. And one of the few services that's been out there that treated us the same as maybe any other well-funded organization has been TechSoup, which offered us the same discounts and rates as anybody else. And that's been extremely helpful in us surviving for the last five years and also being able to set up a foundation for an organization that's kind of poised to grow.

Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Mansi and I am going to help you with the following question. The question is, find the hcf of the following numbers 70, 105 and 175. Let us start with the solution to this question. By the method of prime factorization, we see the prime factors of 70 are 5, 7 and 2, so it is 5 into 7 into 2. Similarly, 105 can be expressed as 5 into 7 into 3 and 175 can be expressed as 5 into 5 into 7. Therefore, hcf of 70, 105 and 175 is 5 into 7 that is equal to 35 and this is our answer to this question. I hope you understood the question and enjoyed the session. Have a good day.


From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Now. In our nation's capital, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues a 200-year legacy with new leadership. In a ceremony hosted by the Army Vice Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Thomas P. Bostick assumed command of 37,000 civilians and 600 military personnel, serving all over the globe. Lieutenant General Bostick follows in the footsteps of accomplished leaders with a focus on the future. The Army and the nation are also operating in a more complex, less certain, and fiscally constrained environment. Now more than ever, the nation needs a lean, agile, strong, capable, competent, and trusted Corps of Engineers, one that serves the Army and the nation. Lieutenant General Bostick will continue this legacy of service as Chief of Engineers. Mary Cochran Smith, Washington. This is the Army Now.


If you have any thought or desire to learn coding, do it. I got interested in coding when I was in college. While I was studying, we didn't focus so much on coding, but we did more scripting to help with the mundane tasks that we had to do throughout the major. And I saw, when I was writing basic scripts, the power that coding has and the ability that you have, the ability that it can give you to make difficult tasks easier, and it got me hooked. I feel that coding is only going to become a larger part of the Marine Corps in the future. I think once individuals at higher levels see what we're capable of, coding is only going to become more integral into Marines' everyday lives. Having a basic understanding of what's going on around you is the best way to give yourself a leg up.
