hey there guys have you ever been thinking about transforming your channel into your own business? just like the biggest youtubers out there they have transformed their channel to become a business if you have thought about this guys today's your lucky day because today we will be talking about that but before we do you know what to do like subscribe and gong that bell hey freedom what's up my name is nolden welcome to freedom central the home of all freedom content today guys let's talk about how you can make your channel into a business we all know a business takes time and also it takes a lot of planning and making the foundation on the business but don't worry about that guys because today we will be talking to you about that so without any further ado freedom quick tips so okay guys before we dive in the fundamentals of creating a foundation for your business i want you guys to ask these questions to yourselves first so that you will know what kind of business you will be running and how to transform your channel into a business number one why does your channel exist so why did you create your channel in the first place what was the motivation and what kind of content will you be making to make that business happen number two is what do you deliver what is your product maybe content is your product in youtube and if you have other products or services that would be great what more can you do with your channel basically this question is do you have a roadmap well what's going to happen with your channel if you make it the business what kind of plans are you cooking up for the business to happen now let's talk about your channel's mission let's ask ourselves our channel's mission or our business mission number one define your value and your purpose what is important for you what is important for the company what is important for your business to happen what does your channel stand for and what are the values that you want to instill inside your channel or your business number two set goals so what are your goals what do you want to accomplish with your channel and transform it into a business now that we have answered those questions let's go and build the foundation of our channel or our business by answering these questions as well number one what do you do what does your channel do what makes your channel special what is your value proposition this is where you will ask yourself what do you want to do with your channel and a special product or what will you do to make money out of it what kind of audience do you want to target and what kind of people you are looking for this is a question where you need to know the audience that you are targeting to may it be kids may it be high schoolers college students and all of that sort of things number three is how do you reach them self-explanatory how will you be able to reach them what mode of communication will you implore or where do you think they are in the cyberspace you must find where they are so that you can connect with them so now that you know where they are number four is how do you interact with them it's something like what we do here in freedom we have our own support team and also we have a community on discord and also you can just comment below on our videos and we will be able to communicate with you as much as we can number five how much will you make so this is one of the crucial questions that you will need to be asking yourself so that you will know if the channel or the business will be successful here we talk about the money and other sources of income may be merchandising super chat and other elements that can be found on youtube or other elements number six is how much will it cost so before we go and make our own projects or our own business we need to ask ourselves how much will it cost for us so that we can properly gauge and know our profits number seven is what are the things that you will need making a business or a channel needs a lot of things for example physical items your equipment your camera your microphone your pc your recording tools your lights cameras and sounds and everything like that another part of that is intellectual properties like your ideas or your branding and of course another one of this is financial needs here we talk about capital and the amount of money you will need to start the business number eight is how will you do it do you have the basic know how to create videos or to create the product that you want to sell or better yet do you have a plan on how to approach a production of your service content or your product number nine is who will help you do you have key partners do you have friends that will help you out with a production or maybe do you have friends who will fund you with the production that you're doing these are the things that you will need so that you can have a strong foundation on the business that you are making now that we have those foundations in place we will need to make a brand whatever your desired brand is we will need to exploit that and also make it clear to the people that this is the kind of brand that you want to convey you might be wondering how we can convey the brands to our audiences i will be sharing through the simplest ways on how you can inform your audience what your brand is all about number one is your channel icon this is your channel's profile picture this can help your audience immediately know the feel of your channel number two is your channel art this is your banner the youtube banner is an important visual art because it complements and make it more clear for your audience the nature of your channel number three is your channel descriptions this is where you put down all the necessary information i'm talking about your links your business facebook page if you have your ig page for your business if you have your website if you have and all the important pages that you have for your business number four is channel trailer your trailer tells your audience what you are make it brief subtle and sweet they will appreciate you even more if you do that now that you have your foundation in set you are ready to make your own brand narrative what is a brand narrative you might be wondering a brand narrative is a way for your audiences to know what kind of person or entity you are may it be a friendly brand a brand for small time actors and the such all right so let's dive in deeper and how you can make your own brand narrative there is no actual playbook on how to make your own brand narrative but i'll be giving you is five principles or guides that can help you out with your brand narrative number one is you should be there people don't want to be abandoned and if you kind of go under the radar for a long time they will also leave you you do not want that in order for your brand to survive you will need to make sure that you are there for your audience 24-7 or maybe as much as you can think about what your audience will remember about you maybe your life clothing the things you say in the videos or a cool logo that you have made or something like that we in freedom instill in our audiences that we are a family just like what george does number three is be different what is your value proposition what makes you different what do you do in your channel that makes you stand out from the other youtubers or from the other youtube businesses you need to bring some with your friends or to those people who you trust so that you can make a good narrative number four is make what you love most is it vlogging creating game videos find a way to integrate your product or service that you like maybe you are selling a gaming chair you can talk about your gaming chair and make your chair visible as you play the game that is a very good video because they can see that you're comfortable with your chair and the functions of the chair which reminds me you should do the kind of video for mgn number five create unique assets maybe or intro your thumbnails channel banner descriptions and other things and other elements of your business or youtube channel you need to create these custom made assets for yourself and for your business so that you can separate yourself from other youtubers and that's the episode guys i hope you guys liked it and do you have other tips for us so that we can transition from an ordinary channel to a business channel let us know down below of course guys if you have a friend who wants to take their youtube career to the next level and make it a business make sure to share this video so that you can help them out before you leave guys please leave a like subscribe and go that bell my name is nold guys bringing you tips on how to grow your channel always remember freedom quick tips i'm going to be seeing you guys on the next episode goodbye


Okay, welcome back to Velocity Conference. That's the hashtag, VelocityConf, C-O-N-F. Velocity, C-O-N-F. Use that hashtag on all the tweets. I'll try to use it on all the tweets. I had four, I called Fluent Conference, but we're not at the Fluent Conference with the Velocity Conference. This is the end of day one of two days of live coverage, SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's exclusive coverage of Raleigh Media's Velocity Conference. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. This is theCUBE. I'm joined by my co-host. I'm Dave Velante at Wikibon.org. Max Fertman is here. He is a speaker at this conference. He's an IT master. He's a mobile and web developer, a trainer. Max Emiliano, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. Thank you for inviting me. Oh, it's our pleasure. Are you filming right now? Or are you going to? No, no, I'm not filming. Good. But I can take a picture if you want. Yeah, you should. I said this is our second guest with Google Glass now. We expect many more. Yeah. What do you think of Google Glass? Tell us what the experience is. I have been using it for maybe three weeks. I think it's a really nice device. It's still like an empty box. So I want to do more with it. And right now I cannot. So I think it's going to change with software updates. And the problem right now is the battery, right? So if they can solve the battery problem. So with Fluent Conference, we try to get you on at the Fluent Conference, but your session was so packed and the demand for your time was so high, we couldn't get you to come on the queue. I did a Glass Talk, Glass Development Talks, and it was really interesting. Are you concerned about the OptiGrab syndrome? You know that? Remember the movie, The Jerk? You remember that? They did the OptiGrab and they ended up like this. So let's talk about the development. I'm a big fan of Google Glass. I was talking about a Fluent. Dave and I having debates even last night, going wee hours in the morning. I think it's really great innovation and I think it's exciting. It's only generation one, but it's still yet to be discovered truly what it's going to be. Obviously, it is what it is now. But for generation one, pretty elegant. I'm very impressed with my pair that I have. In fact, I gave it to my son for his graduation gift for high school. Oh, you gave it to him? Yeah, yeah. And he's coding with it? Does he use them or? Yeah, he uses them. And he's coding? I told him I want to make sure I get the B roll. It's like being 18 again. You know, let's get to see everything. So you're obviously developing for Google Glass, right? You've been experimenting? Yeah, yeah, exactly. What's that like? What's the environment like? So right now we have the now and the future. So the now you can create only cloud-based apps. So that means you have some kind of restrictions using sensors because you can just push information and receive some action from that information. But in the future, in the next couple of months, we're going to have a GDK. The GDK is for creating native apps. So there we will have, we will see the full power of this device there, right? With a GDK. So what is the development strategy now? Because that's something everyone wants to know. So when they get to Google Glass, what are the first things you can do? What coding, how do you write code? Obviously you got an Android companion app, that was great. iPhone really is kind of like weak, but you really need an Android phone. So what's the, give us the 101, break it down for us. From a developer's perspective? Yeah, so yeah. Or from a user's perspective? Well, user who wants the code. I mean, assume that it could be a high school student up through, say college good. So basically now, again, with the API that is available right now, we need to develop web apps. It's really not using HTML, but using basically any server-side technology, like Java, Node.js, PHP, .NET, any server-side technology can create today apps for the Glass. These are known as Glassware. So it's really simple. There is a lot of examples on the Google website that you can start from, so you don't need to start from scratch. With maybe 10 lines of code, you have your first Google Glass app up and running. So it's really easy right now. What are the biggest challenges that you found? Obviously I compared the Google Glass to the first generation Apple computer. If you go to Google and just search on Apple One, you'll see how early it was. And now obviously it's Apple's Apple, but this is an elegant product. So I want to ask you, what are the challenges that you found? Well, right now the challenges are basically interaction, because this is cloud-based, so basically I receive information, I can tap on my glass and I can send actions to a server and then I need to wait for the response. So the live interaction is still not so simple for custom apps, right? But hopefully with the GDK coming in a couple of months, we will have any kind of apps running offline.  Yeah, exactly. That's the other problem. For example, here we have free Wi-Fi, but the problem is that I need to sign up on the Wi-Fi and I cannot do that with the glass. So I'm using my 3G connection or 4G connection. But you're 3G or 4G. Sometimes it's not working, so that's an issue, right? Well, maybe we'll let you into the cube Wi-Fi until we get there. Yeah, but you still got to use your companion app to program it, so you're going to see, well, my vision is pretty clear on this one. I think, Dave, it's going to be a very relevant companion device to Fitbits, Internet of Things, wearable computers, and your phone becomes your base station for yourself, right? The phone is your key clicker for devices or device. It's going to be more than just a phone. Yeah, that's important because a lot of people believe this is the replacement of a phone, and right now it's more a companion, right? It's not the replacement. I cannot search for my email, for example. I can just receive the emails that are important to me and that's all. So I cannot do anything I do with my phone with the glass right now. And the idea is to just some quick interactions, some taking a picture so quickly, read some news, and that's all, right? So that's the idea. Not to replace the phone today at least. Yeah, so the function will obviously improve, and presumably the footprint will, I mean, will these become my Google Glass someday? Yeah, exactly. I mean, I don't think that Google is going to sell this device. It will be like a smartphone. Not a $1,500 a pop. Yeah, but it will be shot from Samsung, from HTC, you're going to buy these glasses from, even from glass companies, right? So. Yeah, so Mark Hopkins, I was talking to Mark off camera today, he said Epson actually, I think it was Epson, you said, has a really cool, I don't know if you've seen that, but very nice. Yeah, Ray Buns, most kind of companies. John wears Ray Bans, he's cool. So those are your future Google Glass there, buddy. Well, I'm a big believer of Google Glass, I hope it takes off, and I want to see that screen get better. But I think it's going to be, it's one of those things, Dave, it's like the iPhone was really a paradigm shift because everyone got what a phone was and knew how to use a computer. It was elegant, it was easy to use. So of course the App Store accelerates that, and it goes supernova adoption. Google Glass is not like that. It's a little bit different. It's not yet known yet where the killer app is. So I think Google's smart to release it to developers. And I think this is the kind of strategy that always works, put it out in the open, see what happens with it.  Yeah, the GPS right now is gorgeous, I mean. I mean, that's got to be cool by my understanding. Again, I haven't used it, but Mark was describing that in some of these systems you actually draw as a line on the road. Yeah, over my side. So it's not over the road, right? But that's coming, right? So, and John, you know with my sense of direction how useful that feature can be. Well, thanks for coming on theCUBE. We really appreciate it. We're getting down to day one.  So stay tuned. We're here at the velocity conference, breaking down all the analysis and commentary. Of course, our opinion, we've been there. This is theCUBE. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. We'll be right back with our next guest after this short break.


What does it mean when we say movement and particularly in the context of language? Movement means movement of elements from one place to the other. That is displacement of elements from one place to the other. Then the question is what do we mean by one place to the other? We mean from one looking at the x-bar scheme from its original position, that is the place where it originates to some other position. Then the question comes up, how can we be so sure about that? How can we say so? That things really get displaced from one position to the other position. Is there an evidence for that? And if there is any evidence, then there are motivations for that. There are compelling reasons why we want to say that things move from one place to the other. These are the questions that we are going to look at of course with evidence. Now, like I told you, movement means an element in one place goes to the other. We can only say so with compelling evidence, with conceptually motivated requirements. What could be such a requirement and how can we say so? We have been looking at so far several kinds of structures. There is, I can talk about each one of them. But very briefly, I want to tell you that the phrases that we have seen so far. Each phrase has same structure. That is, a phrase has specifier and a compliment besides its own head. And the head has three layers, there are three layers in a phrase. One is the lexical layer, the other is intermediate layer and then there is maximal projection. We have been looking at such a thing so far. From everything that we know, simple sentence like this, John likes pizza in the evening. This is the structure and this is a grammatical sentence and we know how this sentence works by now. Do we? That, so far? Only what we have seen is, lately what we have seen is there are some heads which assign cases to its compliment. And then we have also seen that such an account is also essential for a sentence to be grammatical. Namely, the verb like, the verb as a head assigns accusative case to its compliment pizza and P as a head assigns accusative case to its compliment and NP the evening. I have not expanded the evening and I have not put a specifier position in the PP but there is no change. Everything else is intact. And then we saw the NP in the specifier position of IP gets nominative case through I which is through tense or the features under I under the notion of M command and then it gets nominative case. We have seen this. So, this looks like a nice looking sentence. We know most of the things by now to say this sentence is grammatical. That is it fulfills all the requirement of being a sentence. From now onwards I want to show you some motivations for movement. We know this thing that I is the head of a sentence and I retains bundle of features in it. Some such features are agreement, tense and aspect. Let me draw your attention to the first reason for this. No, no, no. I mean one more step before we see the first reason for this, first reason for movement. The question was raised that why do not we have each feature separated. What is the reason for putting three very significant entities in a sentence under one bundle? See this, see the point. Since there is no such compelling reason to put them together, please see the line of the argument. Since there is no compelling reason to put everything together, the argument for separating them was put in place. Since they were separated, then there was no existence of what we call IP. There could be reasons for why tense must precede agreement or agreement must precede tense. There may be reasons for that, but then there is no reason for IP. So I want you to see with clarity that the existence of IP is significant in X-bar scheme only when we are talking about I as a head and I retaining bundle of features. See this, see this thing, both the sides. Now before we look at again both the sides, see one more thing with clarity. I the specifier of IP retains subject and the compliment of I retains predicate, looks good. Then the problem is when we separate them together, we see the expansion of functional elements in language, expansion of functional elements in language. After separating the two, we also see that the functional elements have their own layer and then the lexical layer begins. The question is where does the subject NP go to after it is, after IP is dispensed with. Where do we put the NP which we call subject? See the question, that is the first problem after expansion of, after expansion of I. Now just because we do not have a space for subject NP is not the reason for not expanding I. You do not have a space for I spec IP that is a different problem but that cannot be the reason for not expanding I because the argument is whether you expand them or not, this is how they look like. Are you with me in this argument? Yes? No? Yes? Okay. Now next, next point. If there is no space for subject NP after the expansion that is we do not know where to put subject NP in this structure so far. One of the reasons for that is canonically speaking and looking at a sentence in a traditional way, we have seen subject being outside the predicate, subject being outside the predicate. So we do want to retain that notion that subject must be outside the predicate because I will tell you why. But we want to retain that outside therefore we are wondering where to put it okay. However after the expansion of I the proposal was made by Richard Larson that probably subject also originates within VP okay that is in the specifier position of the VP we have a space available for subject. Do you see that thing in this structure? If we go ahead with the argument of Richard Larson that this argument has a name and that is called VP internal subject hypothesis, VP internal subject hypothesis. The moment you say this thing VP internal subject hypothesis, researchers of linguistic theory will immediately tell you the name Richard Larson because that guy is famous for this one contribution. It was a major intervention in the theory that Richard Larson came up with said alright if we try to put it anywhere else other than VP then we are saying a lexical element a lexical NP in a sentence stays somewhere in the functional domain that is the danger that was the motivation behind Richard Larson saying that subject originates inside VP are we okay. However Richard Larson nicely solved the problem of two different layers functional layer and lexical layer but that hypothesis landed us into a difficulty which is the difficulty is anybody can see the difficulty that now the difficulty is we kind of say that the subject is inside predicate right subject is inside the predicate then if it is stays inside the predicate then how does it agree how does the how does it work canonically we have been looking at stuff like this subject sorry sentence NP VP right this is predicate this is subject right and what connects these two is agreement and and the role of tense is significant right so if we if we say that this NP is inside VP then how do we account for the role of these things alright that was the problem Larson's hypothesis landed in however we must give its proper credit that it separated functional layer from lexical layer and that was a nice nice looking thing this is one of the reasons one of the first motivations for movement and this is where you see that it is this is where you can see that an element literally moves outside so Larson further proposes further proposes that the subject NP originates within VP but does not remain within VP all the time what it really does is it originates inside the VP at the deep structure and then it moves outside and goes to the specified position of AGRP to the specified position of AGRP ok the reason why it goes to the specified position of AGRP is because it needs to do this thing it needs to take care of agreement and it is subject which agrees which takes care of agreement which you have been seeing so far that the agreement takes place with subject NP so the subject NP must be within the local domain of AGRP right and then the way it agrees it takes care of agreement is the head and a spec within the two within the same domain takes care of agreement in under the notion of a spec head relationship the do you see here I have tried to put singular there in the spec AGRP and this NP John John is singular they match together and then the sentence becomes grammatical so the point is the the at a at a logical level the argument is it originates within VP and then moves upward to the spec AGRP one can question why do we need to say that why can't we simply say that it stays outside it it is in the spec of AGRP understand this thing one can one can ask this question why do we need to bring movement in it we can simply say that the subject is in the spec position of AGRP and it agrees there and everything is fine what's the problem with that I have just discussed that problem with you it then it then we end up saying right then we end up saying that subject is in the functional domain that is also not conceptually acceptable that a lexical NP stage in the functional domain so they have to stay separately at a deeper structure lexical NP's in the lexical domain functional elements in the functional domain okay I'm coming I'm coming to that hold on I'm coming to that you see that you see the problem it cannot originate in the functional domain it must originate in the lexical domain but it cannot stay all the time there because it won't be able to maintain agreement that is the first motivation for movement and first evidence that this NP cannot really stay here it has to move outside and goes in this spec AGRP all right I'm coming to your question in a moment I do not mean to bring in too many too many technical details right now because we are talking about movement and I only want to show you couple of compelling reasons for movement but it will be worth mentioning right here that this movement is movement gets complicated little later the proposal is some people have proposed you have seen the M command and barrier and all those things right the there are there are problems with the movement also so some people will argue that how can you allow an NP to jump that far that far aren't these maximal projections have anything to do with that okay then then the proposal was made that it moves stepwise which was called successive cyclic movement but but those are not important things for us right now to handle I'm only bringing this thing in this discussion so that so that it it makes little bit more sense but all I expect from you right now is to understand that this is a motivation this is a reason there is a reason for subject NP to originate within VP and then equally compelling reason is available for the subject NP to move outside there that and bringing in the whole idea of movement takes care of separation from functional domain to the lexical domain and also takes care of the agreement between subject and this and this canonical structure is also retained under no fancy idea we can dismiss this point because this is the sentence of course the problem is this doesn't tell us much this doesn't help us understand how a subject NP gets a nominative case how a how an object gets an objective case it doesn't help us much but this is the sentence and we in order to explain more we don't want to lose originality or do you see that it it does so far everything now the question that you were raising what was your question please repeat it again we always wrote the NP in the specified position of IP which was in the functional layer so why have we bothered now that the NP is not an lexical layer understand his question what he is saying is when we were talking about IP where do we have our subject NP in respect position of IP and it's a it's a wonderful question that whether you said whether you expand I or put them in a contracted way that is the inflection right so even with the IP the subject NP is the in the functional domain or at least it is beyond the functional domain right that's that's your question why did why do we want that kind of a situation there perfectly good reason for that is the reason for mode for expansion of I okay and that is the reason behind Richie Larson's proposal that it cannot stay there we have what we have been doing with IP is not really conceptually motivated there are problems with IP someone can question this this point as well we we have just questioned that why do we need to go to separation of all that when IP is working nicely all right we had to put some patches in it of m command we had to put a barrier we see but still it was fine why do we need to separate them the reason is this that we have spec we have subject NP in the functional domain which it cannot stay where it cannot stay there is no conceptually motivating reason for allowing subject to originate in a in a functional domain therefore it has to originate within VP understand this thing so that that is the reason why can't we just say that it is the subject is originating in the spec position of VP and it is moving to the spec position of IP we can say that and that will mean exactly what we are saying understand what he is saying we can say even with IP we can say subject originates with spec VP and then after originating within the subject VP it goes to a spec position of IP if it goes to a spec position of IP again what it is the what is the reason for for its movement because it needs to be under the spec head domain of agreement that is I it must be under the spec head domain of I and spec of IP so that will be the reason for it to move again there the motivation of movement is intact see the see the point you you are absolutely right it will still be fine but why do you want to retain IP the what what what the question comes out of your proposal is why do we want to retain IP when we can we we have no compelling reason to put agreement tense and aspect together and even if we separate them and as long as we we see subject originating downstairs and then moving upward then there are more reasons to dispense with IP okay so this is these are the reasons for separating every features allowing them to head their own phrases motivations for expansion being intact subject originating inside the VP for both and then moving outside there are I mean these these arguments are connected see see this thing any any other question anybody has any other exactly no it has been established that and and and there are more things that I need to show you it has been established that movement takes place only upward downward movement is not conceptually motivating is not is not allowed in the in our understanding of how language works in human mind that that has been established and I am I am sure I should have mentioned this thing before because and I did not mention it so far because I have just started talking about movement and you are not going to see any single evidence any single instance of movement which is downward all the movement is going to be upward that is another that is also a reason why once I was asked this question why not lexical layer is higher than the functional layer these questions may sound silly stupid but they are not they are very nice nice questions you see the question the question is why do you want to begin with agrp why not VP and then do everything else and then put functional layer downward that is not possible that is also not possible because the functional elements are the significant part of a sentence which become head the the see the strength of the proposal of IP there was a strength in that proposal also it ran into difficulty where Richie Larson questions why subject in the lexical why subject in the functional domain that is a valid question but that does not rule out it is a strength the strength was the strength of IP is it clearly shows that the abstract categories abstract elements are the head of a sentence subject in the spec position and predicate in the complement position that was the strength of the proposal of IP there were two problems with this that was proposed first was why everything together as bundle the moment the question these questions are raised you must have conceptual answers for them if someone could answer this question then the next proposal is dismissed as long as we have no answer why everything together this exists because each one of the features like agreement tense and aspect are entitled to have their own phrases okay so that that stage the second problem that this ran into is why whether we separate agreement tense and aspect or not the subject appears to be in the functional domain either in this proposal or in the second this proposal it appears to be in the functional domain so there are reasons for subjects to be in the lexical region lexical domain that was fine but we cannot allow it to retain remain there because if we allow it to remain there then this is out we run into this problem so in order to retain the agreement of subject we need to allow movement allow for movement and this is what I have been trying to tell you that I am trying to show you an evidence for movement this is just one I am going to show you more but this is just one motivation one reason why we can say elements from one position to the other positions at a deeper structure when we are discussing I language is possible that's the that's the argument and that's all we are trying to see all right anything else sorry I have put it this way and then I have put the red line yeah so what is that is it nothing I am I am trying to show you that whatever you see upward is not not existing that that is what has to go if we start with agrp then we have to leave the whole idea of ip this this is why I have put it there that that is what has to go then we have sentence from here and to begin with we cannot say the subject is in a spec position of agrp because again the same problem how can it be in the functional domain then we are not solving anything we are just and we cannot expand things just for fancy stuff again we have subject in the functional domain so we have to say subject originates here and then it must move because it needs to take care of agreement so for the purpose of agreement movement is a required operation anybody it it sounds little bit complicated little bit tricky but then it has a it has a rational behind it and these are these are some of the motivations for movement first is a lexical np we have already discussed them but it helps if you look at them in one place a lexical np appears to be in the functional layer features in i is a bundle so we need to take care of these two two things every single thing must be fully projected that is agrp and asp must be fully projected and there appears to once we do that then there appears to be a problem explaining nominative case assignment and it is and it involves adding patches to the existing theoretical apparatus see this thing the fact that we are unable to provide one argument one I do not know how to put it see with the ip right and case assignment we have to say two different things for nominative and accusative cases am I right we have to say two different things the fact that we have to say two different things is making it weak so the the the point here is why to retain something that is weak why not strive for something which will which will be which will be similar for both that is accusative case assignment and nominative case assignment I am not showing you more in this structure after separation of agrp and tp and all that the argument is case assignment does not work the way we have seen with ip case assignment works in a different way and right now we do not need to go go there so case the the problem of case assignment of two different arguments for one one for nominative and one for accusative is gone so that is also a reason for separating all the features totally from one another and then allowing subject to originate in the vp okay and then finally sometimes a speck of ip where ip is a complement appears to receive accusative cases and has to be handled separately that is that that is about ecm remember exceptional case marking yesterday so we are we are not only saying we have two different ways for marking nominative and accusative case we are also saying that that two different ways are also not enough we may have to allow some more concessions sometime the argument is how many concessions can we allow that the theory looks very weak with ip so so far what the one compelling reason to keep ip intact that we see is just this one it it shows agreement tense an aspect as the head of the sentence that is it everything else seems to be everything else appears to be making this whole theory weak now I want to leave it here but as a word of caution before I move ahead with the with with more examples of movement I must tell you that the next proposal which is after ip is also not full proof is not is not really solving all the issues that is just just for us to keep in mind it is not that there were problems with the earlier proposal and now there are no problems that is not the not the case it is just a better okay now have we talked about cp so far something called cp did I mention this this thing to you which is called a complementizer phrase so now I am going to show you at least one example of movement let me see if I get that far if you look at cp it seems like and and for the time being I am also going back to ip keeping in mind that we know the differences we know the motivations but we are putting the bundle together and moving ahead with them however you are free to change ip to agrp will not make any difference okay just for say the sake of simplicity I am retaining the argument the the proposal of ip with this structure I only want you to see that cp is also a functional category cp is also a functional domain okay and c as the head of cp has ip as its complement clear do you do you agree and do you understand when I say say c is a functional category yes no if yes then please give me one example yeah that is a complementizer so some something like this let me see if I have an example yeah all right so let me go ahead and then I will I will answer this question what was the question that I was trying to answer why c is a functional category okay I'll show you that so let let me move ahead and see cp may be in the subject position sometimes that is you have seen what have you seen in the subject positions of a sentence so far mostly we have seen what an np right like John or Mary or something sometimes we can we see elements bigger than chunk bigger than np in in the subject position or we can see something so so that will be an ip also a cp may be allowed in a subject position so look at the example here we we saw this sentence last time this type of sentence last time also for him to go to Delhi is difficult for her to laugh is difficult for her to laugh is actually a cp I will I will go to the expansion of this thing little later so in that cp when we say for so the whole thing is an ip for her to laugh is difficult is an ip within that ip for her to laugh is a cp okay and within that cp her to laugh is an ip what what type of ip infinite ip non-finite ip that we saw yesterday I want him to go right him to go type of ip her to laugh is an ip which becomes the compliment of c in the cp and then that cp is part of the is in the subject position of the bigger ip see the structure any difficulty now before again before I discuss why cp is a functional category let me tell you what what I want you to understand this a cp can be in the subject position okay a cp can also be in the object position and a cp by itself can take an ip as a compliment keeping all these things in mind we are only trying to say trying to give something in support of recursiveness in the language the fact that the longest possible sentence has not been spoken and will never be spoken we can say so only on the basis of recursiveness in the language see see that point many disciplines talk about this longest possible sentence is not possible okay but however long a sentence may be the x bar a scheme explains it therefore x bar a scheme is argued to be a conceptual device in human mind and the argument is stated further that it helps us simplify a complicated position therefore one can argue that human mind actually likes simplicity okay now lot of discipline will tell you that human mind likes simplicity in other words human mind doesn't like redundancies but all such disciplines can only make this slogan none of them have any evidence in support of that the support for saying no redundancy in human mind comes only through language see see my point now give me give me two more minutes so do you see here that a cp is a compliment of the vp do you see that with clarity in a sentence John knew that Mary did not drink right that's a sentence which is an ip what's the verb of this sentence no right and that word with a transitive word or intransitive word transitive word so what what did John know that Mary did not drink and Mary did not drink is an ip right if Mary did not drink is an ip then that Mary did not drink is definitely more than ip right and this is what what we say as more than ip is a cp therefore ip is always going to be more than sorry a cp is always going to be more than ip okay and it could be part of an ip or a cp could take an ip at its part this is what allows us recursiveness in the language it's not chicken and egg story it's not it's not it's not chicken and egg type of thing it's not circular it's just recursive okay now one more point here and this is where where where I would stop for for today when we say that Mary did not drink right I I I I don't remember but I think I have talked about this that that is a complementizer that here is not a demonstrative pronoun right now it's a device in human language that same lexical item same lexical item may have two different purposes two different functions okay and I am particularly saying two different functions I am not saying two different meanings because take the example of that it may have two different functions one is demonstrative pronoun when we say that boy that house that computer all right that has in those phrases that is a demonstrative pronoun which has a function which which has a demonstrative function in this kind of an example it has a complementizer function and the moment it becomes anything other than demonstrative it doesn't have any meaning does this that have any meaning here it doesn't have any lexical meaning the fact that a word loses its lexical meaning becomes a functional element complementizer any functional element will never have a lexical meaning okay this is why tense we interpret tense as present time past time future time but by itself it doesn't have any meaning all functional elements have no lexical meaning and since C that in the C position does not have any lexical meaning you tell me check it with anyone that Mary did not know that Mary did not ring in that sentence what is the meaning of that okay one needs to know things that we are discussing to answer that question I am not by any means I am not trying to say that nobody no one knows these things and we are we are discussing some wonder wonder of the world people have this people have found these things I am I am not the one who found this thing people have found these things quite some time ago but these are very nice looking explanations that how two elements how the same element may have two different functions and look at my argument once again the reason why same element is allowed to have two different functions is because it's a product of human mind and we know very well or at least that becomes an evidence for us to believe that human mind makes no mistakes creates no ambiguity does not does not create redundancies the fact that it doesn't like redundancies it can still do away with the same element for two functions that is also an evidence for saying human mind doesn't like redundancies and still has no problems we need to figure these things out that there is one that which has demonstrative function and there is other that which doesn't have any meaning and is a functional element we need to figure these things out but human mind has figured these things out already it's not that you are learning English here for the first time you know English you have been writing these things you have been speaking these things very well your your your brain never gave you any headache it never asked you a question do you know this did it ask you ever do you know these things it doesn't ask you anything it functions very nicely and it functions with what we know now so please keep relating I have told you earlier also that we may not have time during other discussions to talk about knowledge of language principle of economy how human mind doesn't like redundancies these are the examples of those things and therefore a deeper investigation into language gives us a better understanding of human mind where and it's not an arrogance of theoretical linguistics speaking it's a factual description factual statement that many other disciplines have slogans but not evidence the study of language linguists also have absolutely no evidence of physical properties of human mind it can only talk about something about human mind through the structure of language alone and through the structure of language there are compelling examples available evidence available for us to believe such things that's all okay now I know we will stop here so I just want to give you a question before we discuss something next time on we are meeting next time on Tuesday before we discuss this on Tuesday how do we understand these these sentences again these are very simple sentences question sentences I bought a phone and the question so if there is a question what did you buy a possible answer could be I bought a phone right I thought I will be able to handle these questions these things today this shows us another evidence for the movement so we will have to stop here in the interest of time


Does the so-called dark side of cannabis include stroke? Here said to be associated with non-synthetic marijuana, by which I assume they mean marijuana. There have been case reports of artery damage due to the vasoconstrictor effect of cannabis, something that's been well documented. One study found cannabis users had 100 times greater odds of suffering from something called multifocal intracranial stenosis where the arteries inside your brain clamped down at multiple points, but that's a rare condition. What about strokes? The lack of high-level evidence regarding the adverse effects of marijuana usage on brain artery health has led to this notion that recreational marijuana may not be a problem, so they decided to put it to the test. You want high-level evidence? They said, well, how about a study of literally millions of pot smokers? OK then. And they found that recreational marijuana use did seem to be associated with an increased risk of being hospitalized with an acute ischemic stroke, but this may just be among those who smoke regularly, at least once a week. The reason we think it's cause and effect is that the majority of recorded strokes were during or shortly after marijuana exposure. There are even cases in which strokes recurred after marijuana re-exposure. So put all that together, and it makes a convincing case, though you really have to randomize people to smoke pot or placebo pot, to be sure. It's like the heart disease story. A similar temporal relationship has been found between marijuana use and the development of heart attacks and sudden cardiac death. Meaning, the heart attack seemed to happen while they were using or right afterwards. However, this is complicated by the fact that cannabis is often used in combination with other drugs, such as alcohol or cocaine. So you can't just ask heart attack victims if they were smoking pot at the time and make the connection without asking about other substance use. Within an hour of snorting cocaine, for example, the risk of having a heart attack goes up more than 20-fold. That's about five times more than after smoking pot. The hour after you smoke marijuana, your heart attack risk does appear to nearly quintuple, but only for that hour, then your risk drops down to normal. Okay, but what does that mean? Even though heart diseases are number one killer, the risk of having a heart attack every hour is only like one in a million in any particular hour. So even if you then light up a joint that may quintuple your risk, but that would only bump it to like one in 150,000 risk in that hour, but it's just for that one hour. So even if you smoked every day, your annual risk might just go up a few percent. But why the increased risk at all? Well, we've known since the 70s that within an hour of smoking a joint, pulse rate, goes up about 35%. Smoking a single joint increases blood pressure, too, as well as carbon monoxide levels in the blood of angina patients and cuts their ability to exercise nearly in half. Now, was that just because of breathing smoke? Any kind of smoke? No. Smoking a placebo joint, a joint with marijuana from which the THC has been removed, only cuts down exercise capacity like 9% compared to cutting the time they could exercise before the chest pain started by 48% with a cannabis. So it does seem to be a specific drug effect. Now, whether that's as bad as tobacco, we'd never know until a year later. Smoking a marijuana cigarette decreased the exercise time until angina more than smoking a tobacco cigarette, which only cut exercise capacity 23% compared to 50% after the joint. This may be because marijuana puts more demand on the heart, so no surprise then it was worse than tobacco. It may also be the carbon monoxide. Smoking marijuana leads to nearly five times more carbon monoxide in your bloodstream than smoking tobacco. This is because pot smokers inhale deeper and then hold the smoke in, allowing more carbon monoxide into your system. So between that and the cardio acceleration, the increased heart rate and pressure, that could account for the accelerated chest pain in heart disease patients. Does it have any chronic effects on our arteries? Cannabis users do seem to have relatively stiffer arteries for their age, suggesting an acceleration of the aging process, and we are only as old as our arteries. Even secondhand marijuana smoke may be harmful, according to this recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association entitled, One Minute of Marijuana Second Hand Smoke Impairs Vascular Endothelial Function, meaning Artery Function. And so there was a call to protect vulnerable populations, including the elderly and disabled, and residents of multi-unit housing, pregnant women and children, even just one minute of exposure to marijuana secondhand smoke in rats. So it's not clear how applicable this is outside of perhaps not smoking around your pets.

There right there, put these drinks right here. Then we got the box, like that. Set that on top of the drinks. It's taking fit. I'm gonna have to lean back, lean back. What we gonna do like this, baby? It is what it is, but slide, let's go. It's what it said, it said, leave it at the front though, over the drill room and let's get it open. Drop this right here, drop it like it's hot. When the doorbell just says you wanna come out here and get busy, come out the move, kind of swiftly. Step back and with the photo of your nose, smack, let's go. Order number two, guess what we about to do? We about to get busy.

Today we made 102.36. We went out there and got in the mix, baby. I'm gonna talk to you guys about this. Look, I don't know what it is, but it's kind of slow in our area. So we decided to go to a new area to try to get in order. And it angle a lot. They cost code was way more packed than ours. I'm talking about it was people everywhere in that joint. The parking lot was filled up and as far as free goes, free has been kind of slowing our area too. I don't know what's going on, baby. Come up below and let me know. Come up below and let me know if you know, baby. But all in all, everything went pretty good. And just so you guys know, we have been doing an Instacart system on the weekends because we're trying to get busy with the cargo van to get them vans in the other days, baby. Money to Friday. So that's what we've been doing. And honestly, we need to do one more little tweak, baby. We need like a one more good app as far as the cargo van goes. So it can really go crazy, baby. So as you guys may know, or may not know, baby, if you're new to the channel, you don't know. My goal is to eventually make $1,000 a day. That's the plan, baby. And we've been doing a little, we've been doing kind of decent as far as just using a dispatch app to do the cargo van content. It's been going okay so far. We've been hitting around 200, 300 pretty easy. We need one more good app, hey, Curry. Hey, I'm trying to get in, baby. I heard y'all got some good things going over there, Curry. Hopefully we can get busy very soon. We've been on a wait list for a good, for months. Honestly, for months. But hopefully we can get in there so we can get busy. And we have been talking to a few places about getting some contracts.  Maybe try to take us up top, baby. We're gonna talk about that in another video, baby. But I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, if you are not subscribed, go on and subscribe and give me a thumbs up and do not skip those ads. And like it tomorrow, cause we're gonna get back to the bag. We're gonna get back to the bag. It's 223, it's big bags season. We okay won't give them a reason. I'll see you guys on the next one. But go on, before you are already knowing the DDK and I'm on my way.


Who you think had a lil' baby or a young boy? Nah, young boy or a hearty boy? Young boy. Yeah, go on, sing. I said it. Yeah. I like young boy better. What you think?

That ain't gonna be going out. Number three. Baby, I gotta say lil' baby. Yeah, lil' baby be on that. He be on Top 3 a lot. Young boy Lil' Baby like Top 2. Yeah, but he be on that lil' baby. Been killing these Top 3s. Everybody come in once they lil' baby. Who you think had a lil' baby or a young boy? Nah, young boy hearted, but. Young boy. Yeah, don't know what I'm saying. I said it. I'm like young boy belly. What you think? Hey, who you think got my money? Who I think got my money? Baby. No, young boy. Tell him. Young boy, he independent. He independent. I ain't gonna hear that. I know. I've had the niggas around, you get all your money. They be pulling from your pocket, bro. I know that. I know that. It don't matter how much you get, it's how much you profit. I get it. Hey, listen to me though. Feel what I'm saying. Hey, if you got everybody. If you got youngest, you got artists under you making millions. He do too. Why? Who? He just got a uh uh uh uh uh uh. Who? Uh uh uh uh. Baby. Hold on, hold on, hold on. One person? He just got a label, he just got a uh uh uh uh a label deal. What you calling shit? Who? Baby. Everything that I do, yeah I had the QC. But he signed to CMG. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he signed, like the QC. Yeah, everything that I do QC is a middle of the QC. I told him that everything he do QC is a middle of the QC. Everything you do you see is in the middle of it, baby. You got a label deal. They would understand though How much do y'all see nigga that day? Who do y'all see spend more little baby or young boy? Young boy got that money. Who do y'all see spend more baby?  He can't get a girl Jerry.  He really don't like he in a in an elite class right now being locked up in His number his number one Little baby on the spaceship.  Yeah. Y'all mind y'all mind the wrong This all I said on black folk culture look at the other culture look at the other cannot look at the You got more just black culture numbers out a lot look He got no cabinet corner rundown under him. And then you got to understand this. What demo to start like young boys 16 for 16 When it come for albums He went gold on them every album by himself by himself So all his profits All his profits is coming is coming to young boy. Okay never broke again His label so i'm saying him It's just like when baby got hits. It's like it's with drake.

They got that label kind of never broke again.  I heard yeah, I've seen it. He got endorsements too.


Welcome back dear viewers, hope you've had a nice short break, can I have a cup of tea? The daily du'as are very refreshing and so now we're going to talk more with our specialist It's brother Bilal Ali, I was going to call you doctor there Brother Bilal Ali, thank you so much for joining us, Assalamu Alaikum How are you doing this morning? Alhamdulillah, I'm well So this morning's topic we're going to discuss about is our relationship with food And how it affects our mood, the benefits of giving ourselves a positive image towards it Our attitude towards it, and how it will perhaps pick us up or it can even do the opposite effect, can't it? So what is your experience in this field, your various courses you've done What would you say is the most concerning issue that we have in this current era About towards food, because we have such a growth in processed food haven't we now And pesticides with fruits and there are all sorts, so what would be your first concerning? It's funny because as much as my experiences in my clinic and on the mental health circuit I'm still always informed by the saint and the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him About being aware of your intake of food because many diseases or many illnesses You know start from the stomach and it's quite profound that not just the physical But even the psychological plays up or manifests itself in terms of people's diet So a lot of overeating, obesity and people's unhealthy relationships with food Are often times a manifestation of a psychological problem Comfort eating, eating to cope, eating beyond what's necessary Is really what we're talking about Do you think so, you know a lot of us on a Friday night, oh I just want pizza I just want something, you know, just a down time for eating healthy in the week And just want something, is that quite detrimental to our physical health Or is one off sort of having a treat where we see a treat as something that's high in fat processed Is that quite a negative thing on No, I wouldn't say so, I'm not a dietitian but I'm a qualified personal trainer And I do have weight loss management knowledge or experience or qualification so to speak And so you know the occasional break from the healthy regime is not going to cause any major problems It's when there isn't a break because it's not a break away from a healthy diet But it's more like I had something healthy today as a one off But the other meals throughout the week are the more unhealthy, more high in sugar Lower nutritional value, lower macro nutrients, that's what we're getting into Right, so it's the relationship we have with food then And it can be under eating as well, there's a variety of ways that we can What's going on on the psychological level can play out on our plate if I can put it that way So let's look into what would be a healthy relationship with food We've all been raised in different ways from different parents from all over the world And that becomes our habit, so what we've seen in our children, what we've been growing up with And then what's perhaps sort of the extremes, so I was just thinking more of anorexia, bulimia They're all relationships of food and how does that tie in So if we start with sort of a healthy attitude towards food, what would you say Like you said, it's an interesting point that, oh I've been good so I'm going to treat myself But then it's when that good becomes sort of just the minority It needs to be a regular thing, doesn't it? Yeah, well essentially we need fats, a certain portion of fats A minority of fats, oh my gosh, there's such a big debate about how much fats is healthy for us But fats are healthy in terms of your non-process So there's an obsession to cut the fat off the chicken and take the skin off and all things of this nature But a more recent scientific breakthroughs are showing that our bodies process those type of fats We've been doing it for millennia and so we're able to do that without there being a problem Some of the issues that came up in the food game, if I can put it like that Is that there was this thing about fats being the devil, fats were evil, fats were terrible So everything became low fat but to make the food have flavour and have body They had to pump it with carbs now, carbohydrates Now if you don't use up a certain amount of carbohydrates, what happens is your body It turns into glucose, sugar, your body stores it and that's where the obesity has gone through the roof So a healthy relationship with food is more to do with eating natural foods as much as possible So which oils would you recommend? Olive oils, coconut oils, I highly recommend it There are some oils that are healthy if you drizzle them on your food, vegetable oils for example But it's sunflower oil, but it's when you fry with particular oils They say that there's a kind of carcinogenic or cancer causing agent, they transform them, the heat transforms them So coconut oil is one of the most, let's say, preferable oils to cook You're used to actually fry with that, it doesn't cause, it doesn't have that effect It doesn't change its configuration chemically in that negative way So in terms of a balanced diet, a healthy relationship with food would be to eat more natural, not the processed foods Because you have a lot of emails in that food Less processed is better, a healthy portion of carbohydrates, preferably like your brown rice Rice in general, say for example, brown rice, pasta or even bread, even whole meal is always going to be better So a certain amount of carbohydrates starts in your foods, sweet potatoes, things like this Then a portion of meat or fish, if that's your preference, if you're vegan You can still get a healthy intake of protein through your pulses, your chickpeas and the like So you've got your protein, you've got a healthy portion of carbohydrates And also fats as well, animal fats are fine, cream, milk Or even if you're vegan or more, you eat less meat, then things like avocados and nuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, whatever Are they all quite healthy to feed children and develop that healthy attitude towards food from a young age? Is that advisable?  Because we don't know if we mentioned anorexia or bulimia Like say for example, these are psychological conditions And they're often triggered by trauma Or being unable to cope with certain major life events Sometimes people have been victims of abuse or there's some type of self loathing taking place Something may have happened to a person where they felt like they were in a situation where they didn't have any control So by them being very particular about their food When they eat, how much they eat, that's them regaining control over themselves That might be because they are self loathing, they feel unworthy So it's about them being punitive with themselves Are they finding themselves having to mislead others? But children are known for this because it kind of develops an early puberty for some people around that age Our teachers and caregivers and people who are guardians of the way that children may try and avoid Did you eat your dinner and it's throwing food away? Yeah, I had something earlier on and this type of thing It's not a straight way for a child to do that, I'm not suggesting that's a diagnosis But these little telltale signs of them avoiding food, avoiding eating with others Avoiding sharing for everybody It's different culturally, the etiquette of giving others first But when you notice that person isn't eating at all Are they a bit, do they appear a little bit underway? Are they trying to conceal and be deceptive about their problematic relationship? Believe me, there's more to do with eating but then purging And inducing vomiting to bring the food back up And the irony is that it doesn't necessarily work anyway Because once you've consumed the food, those nutrients are now kind of entered into the system It doesn't always work, it can cause these ulcers in the stomach and problems And people can actually die from anorexia as they can die from obesity Two different extremes but in terms of unhealthy relationships But there's usually essentially telling us something These are like symptoms of, this is like the iceberg that we see But there's a deeper psychological, emotional problem under the surface That needs to be addressed, so try to not chastise or be punitive towards that person If it's somebody themselves that they're going through something like this Is it something, it's a parent that recognises it in their child or siblings Whoever we recognise, friends, what would be as a practitioner What would you advise people to do with that situation With a person that they may recognise has certain unhealthy attitudes towards food? I'd say there's various national mental health charities that are online That have websites with a lot of information, for example Mind is a national charity, they have very credible information online about things of this nature You can always go on the NHS website But if you go online, there's, like I said, organisations where you can call up and speak to somebody to get further advice Because it's one thing, reading an article, it'll put you in the know We're watching a short YouTube video on the NHS website So that'll give you some basic understanding But you may want to phone a number and speak to somebody And there are people available Exactly, there are people that you can speak to to say, I have this concern about this particular family member And how can I move this forward, how can I get them help Because I think one of the things that people wouldn't want to do is become highly emotive And panic or cause more distress to the person that perhaps already is suffering In some sort of capacity that's causing this sort of unhealthy relationship And you wouldn't want to say the wrong thing to trigger anything else in them So that's really helpful to know about sort of help lines that can actually guide you How best to, you know, what next steps to take and everything So any final points you'd like to raise? Yeah, I would say if you have concerns, well, people, oftentimes people are aware about themselves In terms of their relationship with food and, you know, their food addiction And, you know, there's nothing that can beat natural foods You know, we hear all the time that we should avoid these processed foods that are high in sugar And everybody wants a biscuit, a bit of chocolate, no problem But, you know, avoiding that being the mainstead or the bigger portion of your daily food intake It's from these foods that are high in sugars that causes these rushes and these highs of energy and whatever But then these crashes, because then it is like a kind of addiction Like with these other nefarious substances but it plays out in that kind of way And any final points about e-numbers and things like that that are present in our food Any concerns about those, about the effect of the chemicals in our body? We were speaking about earlier, you know, there is an actual crisp that is on sale in the high street That has a particular chemical in it that lights up various neurons And has a particular effect on our brain activity And it does induce an addictive or compulsive behavioural trait with that crisp So it's like once you have one, you feel like you need another and another and it's actually something So I think we need to do some, we need a Muslim organisation to commission some research What a beautiful dower could that be if we were to research some of these e-numbers and maybe produce some Yeah, produce some information about the inherent dangers of some of these chemicals in a processed food Let me imagine that, you know, we freely hand these out to young people and children saying Oh, just have a crisp or just have this and you don't know what you're feeding them So, you know, it's always better to be natural, isn't it? Isn't this something to say that though? It's not just halal but it's like tell you a bit that the food must be pure, isn't it? So there's food that isn't got anything haram in it necessarily but it's not pure food Yeah, it's saturated or, you know, low in nutritional value And it's always the most delicious, I have to say Thank you so much once again and we'll come to the end of this morning's segment So then Charlie, have a blessed day and we'll look forward to seeing you in our next morning episode of The Specialist And so next up we are going to be joined by Fahima and Salah and I'm looking forward to what they're going to be making for us over to the kitchen
