Youtube daily report w Feb 13 2017

Ciao, sono Sarah Knight

autrice del libro Il Magico Potere di Sbattersene il Ca**o

E sono qui per dirti come i tuoi sbattimenti influenzino

il tuo corpo, la tua mente e la tua anima.

Quello che potreste NON aver previsto di guadagnare

dal semplice atto di negare uno sbattimento

è un miglioramento generale della vostra salute

fisica ed emozionale.

Pensate: non avete guadagnato soltanto

tempo, energia e finanze,

ma anche conoscenza di voi stessi, fiducia

e un nuovo gusto infantile per la vita.

Inoltre, vi sarete risparmiati anche un sacco di mal di testa.

Letteralmente.

Per non parlare di bruciori di stomaco, ansia e nausea.

Avete presente la festa al karaoke da cui vi siete elegantemente defilati?

Pensate ai postumi che vi avrebbe lasciato!

Magari vi sareste tracannati un Margarita dietro l'altro

per tutta la serata solo per trattenervi dallo strangolare Tim

del reparto informatico con il filo del suo stesso microfono.

Al mattino successivo sarebbe stata brutale, credetemi.

Invece se ve ne sbattete?

Niente sonni agitati, niente mal di testa,

niente saliva prosciugata durante la presentazione del mattino,

niente conta dei minuti finché potrete fare di nascosto un riposino

sotto la scrivania durante la pausa pranzo,

niente torcicollo a causa di detto riposino

voglio dire, i vantaggi emersi dall'analisi costi-benefici sono innegabili.

Avete più tempo per fare quello che davvero volete fare dopo il lavoro

stare seduti sul divano in mutande

mangiando crostatine e guardando I guerrieri Ninja.

Avete deciso che guardare I guerrieri Ninja

è più piacevole che cantare il karaoke con Tim del reparto informatico

e avete agito di conseguenza

perché non vi preoccupate più di quello che pensa Tim

o chiunque altro rispetto alle vostre priorità.

La mattina avete più energia da investire

nell'inevitabile sbattimento di radervi senza tagliarvi

Siete ancora in possesso delle finanze che avreste speso in tequila

e in pizza a domicilio ordinata nel cuore della notte

nella (vana) speranza di assorbire tutto quell'alcool.

E ve ne starete indisturbati nella saletta pranzo

mentre i vostri colleghi cercheranno di fare

uno scomodo riposino sotto la loro scrivania.

Quel giorno probabilmente riuscirete a smaltire un sacco di lavoro in più

perché gli altri saranno troppo rintronati per venirvi a scocciare.

S. Korea says North's new Pukguksong-2 is upgraded SLBM - Duration: 1:30.

The South Korean military offered its assessment of the North's latest missile.

Kim Hyun-bin brings us the defense officials' take on the level of threat the regime's possible

upgrades poses to the region.

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Monday that the mid-range missile North Korea

fired on Sunday, the Pukguksong-2, appears to be an upgraded version of its submarine-launched

ballistic missile.

"This is an upgraded version of the SLBM on land.

North Korea has also developed a launch pad that is capable of conducting a cold launch,

which is used to launch missiles from submarines."

South Korea's defense ministry also affirmed North Korea's claim that a solid fuel engine

was used to launch the missile.

Experts say that compared to liquid fuel, solid fuel engines take less time to fill

and the fuel can be stored for a long period of time in the missile.

They also say that when this type of missile is attached to a mobile launch pad, North

Korea could launch it at any time and from any place, making it harder for Seoul and

Washington to detect the missile before launch.

"There is a reason North Korea prefers solid fuel.

Liquid fuel is difficult to inject and takes a long time.

Solid fuel engines are more combat proficient and it would be hard for Seoul to use the

Kill Chain system to launch a pre-emptive strike ."

North Korea's Pukguksong-2 mid-range missile, launched Sunday, flew 500 kilometers before

landing in the East Sea.

#BOYFRIEND Q&A with Erik Michels (ENG SUBS) || Pieter de Gans - Duration: 12:30.

Hey guys that's a long time ago

Today I'm going to make a video with Erik because you guys asked for it

No that's sh#t

Welcome back, no that's sh*t as well...

Hey! I've been sitting down here for 3 hours already

Well guys that's a long time ago

I'm back again and from now on I'm going to make a video once a week

You guys often asked me to make a video with my boyfriend Erik

So that's what I'm doing

Maybe you could shortly introduce yourself: who you are, what you do

Okay, my name is Erik and I've already been Pieters boyfriend for 4.5 years

I live together with Pieter in Amsterdam

I study medicine at the university of Amsterdam

And I'm going to start with my internships in May

What kind of internship?

It's in internship in which you go from ward to ward

uhmm yea that's it

From now on I'm going to record a video with Erik every month and it can be anything

If you like it give a thumbs up and comment what you would like to see us record

I agree

And because no one actually knows me

Or maybe from Instagram

That's why we did a Q&A so you could get to know me and Pieter a little better

And in two days it's valentine's day

That's why I thought it would be super fun now to make a video with my boyfriend

We asked on Instagram if you guys could sent us your questions

We had a lot of responses

Lots of sex questions in my opinion

Yea a lot

Are we going to answer them all?

Watch until the end to know it

Question number one

Where are you going to live later in life?

I find this a though question

On one hand I really want to life in the city

Because Amsterdam really became my hometown now. I really enjoyed it.

And I know for sure that Pieter wants to life here

But on the other hand I want children later

And I don't see it as a city where you raise children

I would prefer to live at a canal house

Question number two

From RoyBieze and he asks who from the two of you is the biggest shady ass bitch

Ater Roy I think it's you from the two of us

E: Do you think so? P: Yes from the two of us

No

Maybe

Okay

But if I'm shady I think I'm shady in funny way

Very funny shady

So everyone can see my teeth are whiter

Há gay

Attack him

Nooo save me

E: This really hurts P: Attack him Loki!

No put him away

A question from Ilse: what do you appreciate the most of the other

Character-wise and appearance-wise

Appearance: Pieter is not going to agree

I think Pieter has a really pretty nose

Yes for real

I'm going to explain why

I really like it when someone has something unique

But matches the entire picture

Yes that's what I like and find unique

Character then?

Character uhm..

*Grashoppers sound*

What do I like the best from your character.

I find that quiet difficult

I'm going to cut this long pause

P: If you don't know anything about me, then we skip the question

No I know something, the best thing character-wise

He is still playful, funny, kind

That he can still run around like an idiot through the room

And does childish stuff

Because I'm like that as well. Maybe a bit too much for my age

And I want to share that with someone

Ingrid asks: Ronnie flex or lil kleine (Dutch artists)

It's maybe bad but if you ask me to name one song of ronnie flex. I wouldn't be able too.

So then I say lil kleine

Next question: Who does the dishes

I'm really glad someone asked this question

Because then Pieter can face the truth

Who does the dishes?

No way!

P: I just spent, i'm not going to turn the camera, an hour doing the dishes E: Who does the dishes?

The rule is actually that the one that makes dinner does not have to do the dishes

Erik often makes dinner so then I do the dishes

But sometimes I cook and then he doesn't feel like doing the dishes

Yes but true, but what do you make: microwave lasagna is not a dinner

P: If it makes the plates dirty you have to clean them then E: I disagree

I like making complicated dishes and sometimes that takes like 1.5 hours

and then it sucks to do the dishes because...

because Pieter just wants to lay on the couch

and who is the biggest shady ass bitch of you two

Lokiiiiiiiiii (the cat)

if you had to be an ice cream, which one would you be

Should I answer this one, really easy

Coconut

I LOVE coconut, ice cream, candy ....

And of course I'm a tropical beauty

Alright we'll cut that scene

We'll leave that scene right there

who is the most social

We're both very social, just you are a little more extrovert

He just called me gay...

And I'm more introvert, but still social

Introvert and social? So you want to say something fun but you don't say anything ..... introvert and social

sometimes, in a group, it's social to be quiet and let others speak

I do that too!

Now you act like I never let anyone else speak

Who is the biggest shady ass bitch?! Pieter...

Which dutch football club do you guys support

Should be easy for you

I support Ajax of course

E: Yes me too since I moved

You have to!

He is forced to ...

I had to stand outside for a week because I supported the enemy team

I've never played football, but I did play Basketball before

For how long have you been together?

He always forgets for how long.....

I know how long it's been...

But I just always have to count

March 30 2012

We always wear a ring, in that ring is the date of when we started dating

"03-30-2012"

No stop! You're in the front the whole time, now I want to be in front!

I'm not even on the screen, MOVE!

next question...

If you just had one trip left, where would you go?

I've never been to Africa

And I would love to go to Africa

Yes me to, but only if we go to south Africa, where it's legal to be gay....

I don't really care, I wouldn't go there to show everyone I'm gay

I would go because I want to see the country

I just don't like the fact that you have to book a room with two beds and such things

Nope Don't like that P: I understand

Would you rather poop cotton candy or burp glitter?

Definitely burps of glitter

You know, when you poop cotton candy, no one will see!

But when you walk around burping glitter... everyone would be amazed

people would think

oh my god, that's so cool!

What's the best moment you two shared together?

I'd say the trips we've made together

We've been to a lot of fun places, there's a question about that as well!

What kind of trips did you make together?

Italy, a few times

Turkey

We've been to Barcelona

We've been to the United States

Texel (small dutch island) as well

That's about it!

What are your plans for Valentines day

I would love to go on a short trip with you, just for a few nights

That's the first time I hear this

Just a weekend, or midweek

Yes, I would like that too

What's the best date ever for you?

I think the best date would just be a dinner date

Some wine to loosen up

For some good talks, and I just love food!

If you could say one thing to the entire world, what would it be?

I would say; Everyone should act normal!

Just a little more love instead of the violence and complaints towards eachother

What would you do if were gay and you lived in a country where being gay is forbidden?

I would just move out of the country P: Yes, me too

Just get out of that place!

A surprised question of one of your instagram followers:

What are you gay? This is a sad day for all women out there ...

How did you guys meet, and who started flirting with the other?

We met on "Hyves" (dutch Facebook)

I think I was the one who started flirting

Yes, I think so too

Thoughts of having babies in the future?

I really want kids, and so does Pieter

I would love to adopt a chinese girl

I'd put her in a panda suit, with her fat little cheeks

That would be so sweet

And she has to play the piano, and guitar

No guitar, just the piano

What's the weirdest thing you guys ever did while drunk?

If Pieter is drunk, it's impossible to wake him up!

If he asks me to wake him up the next morning...

and then when I try... He just doesn't wake up

A bucket of water, doesn't wake up

I kick him, he doesn't wake up

When I push him out of the bed he just crawls back in

I look like a snapchat filter

Would you rather have toes as fingers, or fingers as toes

I'd rather have fingers as toes

Monkeys have the same, and they can just grab things with their feet

Seems super cool, to just be able to do more with your feet

Grab things... climbing is my thing anyway

Who is the most romantic?

I think Pieter is the most romantic

But I was pretty romantic lately

I made a cute card online and sent it to him ... with all these hearts <3 <3

I'll grab it!

aaawwwwww so sweet

Have you ever experienced that your relationship wasn't accepted by your surroundings?

No, we've actually never experienced that

What was your favourite food when you were little?

cordon blue, I really loved that!

Just a really nice schnitzel with some cheese and ham in there ... yummy

I think maybe just pizza .... or pancakes

I actually really liked pancakes

How old were you when you came out?

and how old were you when you got your first boyfriend?

I came out at 16

and my first boyfriend was at 16

went for it straight away

I came out at 17

first boyfriend at 18

Ben&Jerries or Nutella?

I'll definitely say Ben&Jerries

I absolutely love Ben&Jerries, I used to be addicted to it

I used to eat one of those big cups every week, in just 15 mins!

But now I'm working out so I try to be more healthy

Nutella for me, I don't really eat ice cream that much

No, but you don't eat nutella either...

I used to eat a lot of nutella when I was little E: *mainstream*

Did you ever have a girlfriend?

No, never

I did!

He did

*Erik does a sexy dance*

Next question from william of orange:

Is there competition between the two of you?

I think there is some competition, but mainly from your side

E: I want to be the best in everything P: He wants to be better than me in everything

So probably in a year or so, he'll have taken over youtube from me

And then I'll be left with nothing...

Last question, this is already taking too long!

Describe each other in one word

Mouse

I always call Pieter mister mouse, because.... well look

He looks like a mouse

And he's wearing grey so..... A grey mouse!!

Did you like us making a video together, give us a thumbs up

False Facts About Star Wars You Always Thought Were True - Duration: 11:15.

Over the past four decades, Stars Wars has become a beloved institution, with fans passing

their love of the franchise on to the next generation, and the next.

But along the way, a lot of misconceptions about the story and characters have been inadvertently

passed along as well.

Here's a look at some false facts about Star Wars you always thought were true.

Stormtroopers are terrible shots

Right from the get-go, Obi-Wan Kenobi hypes the deadly accuracy of the Stormtroopers.

"And these blast points, too accurate for sand people.

Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise."

So it's ironic that later on in A New Hope, the Stormtroopers can't seem to hit the broad

side of a wookiee during the rescue of Princess Leia, leading to decades of fan jokes.

But maybe there's a good reason they couldn't shoot anyone during the Death Star escape:

they were under orders not to.

Princess Leia speculates that the rescue attempt was too easy, as the Empire let them escape

so our heroes would lead the bad guys to the rebel base and destroy it once and for all.

"They let us go.

It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape."

"Easy?

You call that easy?"

"They're tracking us."

Instead of joking about their bad aim, viewers should really be congratulating those Stormtroopers

on their solid improvisational acting abilities!

Luke would never join the Empire

Luke starts off A New Hope telling C-3PO about how much he hates the Empire, so the belief

that Luke is destined to be a true blue Rebel from the start makes sense.

But it's also wrong.

Remember his efforts to leave the farm life behind and go to the Academy instead?

"I was also thinking about our agreement.

About me staying on another season?

And if these new droids do work out I want to transmit my application to the Academy

this year."

Well, that academy Luke is so hot to get into is an Imperial Academy, something made even

clearer in the film's deleted scenes.

Oh, sure, Luke may have eventually ended up switching sides like his pal Biggs.

But it's clear Luke's main goal is just getting off Tatooine, even if it means joining the

Empire to do it.

"Luke, I am your father"

One of the most famous moments in movie history is when Darth Vader shockingly reveals that

he is Luke Skywalker's father at the end of The Empire Strikes Back.

For decades, fans have been quoting the iconic line "Luke, I am your father!"

"Luuuuke.

Luuuke.

I am your father."

Heck, even James Earl Jones himself does it.

"When I first saw the dialogue that said, 'Luke, I am your father,' I said to myself,

'He's lying.'"

One problem, though: that's not actually what Vader says.

But it's damn close!

"No...I am your father."

Now you know how Luke felt when he realized everything he ever knew was a lie.

C-3PO was completely golden

When The Force Awakens came out, one of the unresolved mysteries that had fans buzzing

was the question of what happened to C-3PO's arm.

"It is I, C-3PO.

You probably don't recognize me because of the red arm."

But you would also have been justified in asking why his left leg was gold.

Because despite the fact that you were no doubt sure C-3PO was always completely golden

colored, in the original trilogy, his lower right leg was actually silver.

That was never even explained in the films, so if you're waiting for some drawn out, cinematic

backstory behind his new red arm, don't hold your breath.

Boba Fett's first appearance

Everyone knows that from the moment he first appeared in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back,

Boba Fett became a cultural phenomenon.

For someone with so little screen time and so few lines, he has captured the public imagination

enough to be the star of countless comic book, novel, and video game adventures.

One thing, though: he didn't actually make his first appearance in The Empire Strikes

Back, but rather in an animated sequence from the legendarily terrible made-for-TV Star

Wars Holiday Special, which debuted in 1978 — where he teams up with Chewbacca!

Just in case you didn't think Boba Fett could be any more awesome, he debuted while riding

a space dinosaur.

"What is it, Master Luke?"

"I'm not sure."

Kenner later released a special action figure, which became highly sought after on the playground,

driving Boba Fett to cult status before Empire Strikes Back even came out.

Luke's scar

One of the first things that happens to Luke Skywalker in Empire Strikes Back is getting

hit in the face by a Wampa.

While this serves to prove to audiences that the guy with magical powers and a laser sword

is still vulnerable and untrained, many fans over the years have assumed this scene has

an ulterior motive: that it serves to explain the scar Mark Hamill got after a nasty car

accident.

Younger fans probably don't even know this, but just before Star Wars first premiered

in 1977, Hamill was involved in a terrible car accident, suffering a fractured nose and

cheekbone.

The damage to his face was still visible in Empire Strikes Back, leading many fans to

assume the Wampa attack was designed to explain it away.

According to George Lucas, though, this is not really true.

While they did film a scene showing Luke's face being worked on, Lucas says in the Blu-ray

commentary for Empire he ultimately decided the scars made sense because "some time had

passed, they've been in the Rebellion fighting, that kind of thing, so the change [in his

appearance] was justifiable."

The Wampa scene was just a way "to keep the film suspenseful at the beginning while the

Empire is looking for them."

Conspiracy theory: debunked.

Jedi can't have sex

The idea that Jedi aren't supposed to be, uh, making little Jedis seems pretty hard-coded

into most people's understanding of Star Wars.

After all, wasn't this why Anakin and Padme snuck around, kept their marriage a secret,

and fretted about Padme's pregnancy possibly destroying their careers?

Well, no.

What the Jedi are actually forbidden from doing is forming attachments and getting involved

in long-term relationships.

But casual sex?

Sure, that's cool, something Lucas himself verified in an interview with the BBC, saying,

"Jedi Knights aren't celibate — the thing that is forbidden is attachments — and possessive

relationships."

Suddenly, Obi-Wan's familiarity with Tatooine's bar full of sexy strangers makes a lot more

sense.

You old dog.

Alderaan was not a military target

The primary act meant to cement the Empire's evil in A New Hope is the destruction of Alderaan.

Leia begs Tarkin to not destroy her peaceful planet, insisting that they have no weapons

and that there's no reason to destroy it.

"No, Alderaan is peaceful, we have no weapons, you can't possibly…"

"You would prefer another target?

A military target?

Then name the system."

She offers up the fake Rebel base location of Dantooine to attack, but Tarkin decides

to destroy the more populated and well-known location of Alderaan to demonstrate the power

of the Empire.

Thus, viewers walk away thinking that the Empire destroyed a planet full of peaceful

space hippies just to make a point.

But that's not true.

Both Leia and her adoptive father, Bail Organa, use Alderaan as a seat of power from which

they operate the Rebellion.

And the comic books and other expanded universe stories expand on this, showing in detail

the Rebellion's ties to Alderaan's military.

Sure, blowing up the entire planet is a bit of an overreaction, but there's no question

Alderaan was indeed a valid military target.

Luke can't fly an X-wing

Many people over the years have wondered how Luke is able to even fly an X-wing at the

end of A New Hope.

How realistic is it that an moisture harvesting farmboy wanders into a high-level military

meeting and is handed control of a deadly war plane?

How realistic is it that he would even know how to fly something it takes others years

to master?

Is there an answer, people wonder, aside from "the Force" or "he's the hero, get over it?"

There is an answer, and it lies with the toy model we see Luke play with earlier in the

movie.

This is the T-16 that he has mastered flying, the one he uses to shoot womp rats in Beggar's

Canyon.

Well, it turns out that the T-16 is manufactured by Incom, the same company that makes the

T-65 X-wing.

If Luke has spent years learning how to fly one Incom machine, then it makes sense he

would be able to handle himself in another ship that likely uses very similar controls.

Of course, "he's the hero, get over it" is still a pretty satisfying answer when you

think about it.

Fans always loved Leia

These days, Princess Leia is an absolutely beloved character, a take-charge, badass woman

who rescues others more often than she gets rescued, and who doesn't take crap from anybody.

Both she and the late, great Carrie Fisher are considered feminist icons.

But that actually wasn't the case originally.

According to Fisher herself, many fans originally thought Leia was a straight up "space bitch"

because the only way the writers "knew how to make the character strong was to make her

angry."

As a result, the character was deliberately softened in Return of the Jedi to make her

"more feminine, more supportive, more affectionate" so she would appeal more to the young male

audience the movies were catering to — which also explains why they stuck her in that metal

bikini.

Image problems solved?

Ewoks are cute and harmless

This misconception should be pretty easy to refute simply by watching Return of the Jedi,

yet it's become ingrained in people's minds that Ewoks are just cute, fuzzy little space

Care Bears who exist mainly to sell plush toys to children.

Well, that last part might be true, but the Ewoks are anything but cute and cuddly, despite

what some insipid made-for-TV movies might have you believe.

George Lucas has said that he actually based the Ewoks on the Vietcong.

And remember in Return of the Jedi when they capture our band of heroes?

It's played for laughs, but when C-3PO informs Han Solo that the Ewoks are going to eat him,

he's actually serious.

"What did he say?"

"I'm rather embarrassed, General Solo, but it appears you are to be the main course at

a banquet in my honor."

And that casts a different light on the end celebration, where the Ewoks are playing drums

on the helmets of defeated Stormtroopers.

Remember, they viciously killed those Stormtroopers.

Given what we know of Ewok culture, it's very likely those cute little fuzzballs also ate

the Stormtroopers' corpses as well.

Which is one hell of an hors d'oeuvre.

"12 parsecs" was a mistake

One of the most infamous moments in the series came when Han Solo was boasting about the

speed of his ship.

"Fast ship?

You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?"

"Should I have?"

"It's the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs."

But as many science buffs have pointed out, a parsec is a unit of measuring distance,

not time.

So Han's boast just doesn't make any sense unless he's somehow claiming his ship managed

to actually change the course of the Kessel Run itself.

Turns out that's actually right, as later authors explained that Han used a flying technique

that had him skirt the edges of a black hole to actually distort both time and space, thereby…

Ah, just kidding!

It was obviously a mistake, and no amount of over-explanation and revision by later

writers can put lipstick on this pig.

Sorry, Star Wars fans, but Han was talking out his space-butt.

Want more proof?

A 1976 draft of the screenplay for A New Hope is available online, and it seems to close

the debate pretty definitively.

After Han makes his claim, the screenplay says, "Ben reacts to Solo's stupid attempt

to impress them with obvious misinformation."

As it turns out, George Lucas didn't make the mistake — it's just been Han Solo using

fancy words to impress people all along.

"This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in 14 parsecs!"

"Twelve!"

The Shady Double Life Of Bill O'Reilly - Duration: 5:35.

Since 1996, Bill O'Reilly has hosted The O'Reilly Factor, which is one of the most popular shows

on Fox News.

A self-professed "straight-talker," O'Reilly claims to operate within a so-called "No-Spin

Zone," which suggests he strives for an objective viewpoint.

What he'd probably prefer you forget is that he's become the story several times, weathering

both personal and professional scandals in the public eye.

For a man who's built a brand on truth-telling, he's certainly got folks asking a few questions.

Let's take a look at the sketchy double life of Bill O'Reilly.

Media bias and...milkshakes?

One of Bill O'Reilly's favorite talking points is to slam the mainstream media for not being objective

In one example of his disgust with modern journalism, O'Reilly ranted on his show about

how unbelievable it was that Rachel Maddow hugged 2016 Democratic presidential candidates

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton after moderating a debate between them, saying:

"We're living in an age where you say 'journalism,' many of the press entities

aren't that anymore.

They're not.

They're just...they're in another business.

It's another business model."

Yet, O'Reilly's personal relationship with Donald Trump never seemed to give him any pause.

After tape of Trump's crude conversation with Billy Bush went public…

"Grab 'em by the p----."

"You can do anything."

...O'Reilly called it just "crude guy talk."

O'Reilly and Trump are such BFFs, they even have a running gag about the number of vanilla

milkshakes O'Reilly has bought for Trump.

O'Reilly even went so far as to leverage Trump's "milkshake debt" in an attempt to convince

Trump to appear on the Fox News Republican debate he was boycotting at the time.

"Would you do me a favor..."

"Look, look, Bill, I'm not."

"You owe me, because I bought you so many vanilla milkshakes."

"What happened...Fox put out…"

"I bought you so many vanilla milkshakes, you owe me."

"It's true."

While the mental image of O'Reilly and Trump drinking one milkshake with two straws is

objectively adorable, isn't that exactly the kind of ethical dilemma O'Reilly was slamming

Rachel Maddow for?

Family feuds

Bill O'Reilly is an outspoken proponent of family values, as well as a sharp critic of

the eroding morality of America.

When talking about disgraced NFL star Ray Rice, whose career ended after he was caught

on tape viciously attacking his wife, O'Reilly called domestic violence a "plague," and suggested

that Rice be "demonized" in order to "send a message that this can't happen in America."

Meanwhile, O'Reilly's own ex-wife alleged in court that he choked her and dragged her

down the stairs, according to court records obtained and published by Gawker.

Reports have also indicated that their teenaged daughter saw this happen, and said as much

to a court-appointed forensic examiner.

For his part, O'Reilly denied it all — and sued his ex.

And that doesn't even touch The New York Times' report in January 2017 that Fox News settled

a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against O'Reilly.

Do as I say, not as I do

Weirdly, O'Reilly collaborated with James Patterson on a kid's book called Give Please

A Chance.

It's aimed at reintroducing manners to young children.

O'Reilly explained, quote:

"James and I believe we can bring that civility and compassion back into the world."

End quote.

Hey, that's pretty nice!

Of course, it'd be even nicer if O'Reilly could follow his own advice and be both civil

and compassionate to the people he works with.

Observe!

"Hold it, because I don't get to tee off of you.

Give me one damn program he said he'd cut."

"He said he'd cut entitlements…"

"Not entitlements!

ONE PROGRAM!"

"Why are you yelling?

What do you want to yell for?"

"The federal government should be in there.

This is so far out of control."

"I don't disagree with you."

"They took over New Orleans."

"I don't know why you're yelling at me.

I don't disagree with you."

"I'm not, I'm not yelling at you.

I'm yelling in general."

And of course, who could forget this classic clip of Bill treating his coworkers with respect

and kindness:

"We'll do it live!

F--- it!

Do it live!

I can - I'll write it and we'll do it live!

F---ing thing SUCKS!"

And these aren't isolated incidents, either.

O'Reilly is known for his aggressive nature and combative stance toward guests with opposing

viewpoints, who he often yells at and interrupts.

It's undeniably great entertainment if you're into re-living uncomfortable Thanksgiving

table political discussions with your opinionated uncle, but he's probably not the best example

for children on how to be polite.

Not such an "average guy"

Part of what attracts Bill O'Reilly's audience is his seemingly plain and matter-of-fact

speech, a classic value held by working class Americans.

But it's not only a perception.

In his book, The O'Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in

American Life, he touted his "humble beginnings" and "working class upbringing."

He wrote:

"Whatever I have done or will do in this life, I'm working-class Irish American Bill O'Reilly."

Well, maybe.

In describing his hardscrabble life, O'Reilly referenced carpools, eating lunch meat, and

not taking extravagant vacations.

So far, so average, right?

But "working class" might be a bit of a stretch.

The Washington Post interviewed O'Reilly's mother and found that Bill and his sister

"attended private school, and the family sent Bill to Marist College, a private college

in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., as well as the University of London for a year, without financial aid."

Also, O'Reilly himself admitted his father was earning $35,000/year when he retired in

1978, which was "equivalent to $92,000" at the time of the article in 2000.

Look, you can eat all the baloney sandwiches you want.

But private school, Marist, and the University of London ain't so humble, dude.

Surprising Traits Men Find Attractive - Duration: 7:47.

They say beauty's only skin deep, but there's no denying that those first impressions are

clutch. Ever wonder what men notice? And what they really find most attractive? Well, it

turns out that sometimes it's so hard-wired within us, we don't even realize what we're

looking for… until w e find it.

Blue eyes? Swipe right

A study from the University of Tromso in Norway asked 443 people about the hair and eye color

of their partners. They also showed participants a series of photos in which just the models'

eyes had been manipulated to change color. They found that while women and brown-eyed

men showed no preference over any particular eye color, blue-eyed men overwhelmingly chose

blue-eyed women.

The reason? Genetics. The only way a child can have blue eyes is to be born to two blue-eyed

parents, or to two people who each carry part of the recessive gene for blue eyes. The study's

authors say that, conscious or subconscious, blue-eyed men's preference for blue-eyed women

might be linked to one extra layer of paternity protection.

Cougar-town

Random gray hair? Higher age bracket? According to a joint study between psychologists from

the University of St. Andrews and the University of Liverpool, a mature appearance is exactly

what some men are into.

There's a cultural norm for what's considered attractive — that's what makes movie stars

so universally admired. Here, researchers wanted to find out how our personal experiences

helped shape what we find attractive. The study found that men who were born to moms

over 30 were more likely to find older women more attractive when they were looking for

long-term relationships. It's suggested that when looking for a long-term partner, there's

something about the influence of that parent-child relationship that makes us feel secure as

adults. And that's not all.

Mom genes

Studies suggest that parents' influence on what characteristics men find attractive

goes even beyond age. Another study from the University of St. Andrews looked at a phenomenon

known as imprinting — well known to exist in the animal world and, until recently, largely

unexplored in humans.

The study looked at how likely men — and women — will be attracted to certain hair

and eye color in their chosen partners. They found that for men, the best indicator of

preferences was the hair and eye color of their mothers.

Researchers suggest that it's possible that the early connection between mother and son

formed a sort of subconscious bond that suggests safety, familiarity, and comfort linked to

the eye and hair color they knew first.

"Happy Birthday, what do you want for breakfast?" "Privacy"

"Please, don't forget to wash your bottom"

Knock-knock

Everyone loves to laugh, but according to a study published in Evolution and Human Behavior,

the sort of humor men and women find attractive is surprisingly different.

"Oh my God...hoowow!"

The study found that while women valued both the ability to be funny and to appreciate

the same sort of things they found funny, men had a different take: they just wanted

someone who's gonna laugh at their jokes. When it came to long-term relationships, it

was even more important for men to find someone who appreciated their sense of humor, while

funny gal-pals were preferred for friendships and short-term relationships.

Angle from above

According to a pair of Australian researchers, one thing that men find surprisingly attractive

is a simple one that anyone can master — the right head tilt.

They manipulated a series of faces to appear as if they were being viewed from different

angles, and volunteers were then asked to rate the attractiveness of those faces. They

found that men were most attracted to faces where women tilted their heads forward enough

that they were looking slightly up. When a man sees a woman who tilts her head forward

and looks up at him, the height difference accents traditional ideas about masculinity

and femininity.

Me, Tarzan

Both men and women find risk-taking super hot in potential mates. Perhaps an obviously

attractive trait to women, surprisingly, men were also attracted to women who were adventurous.

According to a study by the University of Alaska Anchorage, men and women were attracted

to those with hunter-gatherer personality traits. That includes risky activities similar

to what our ancient ancestors would have performed — like skiing, mountain climbing, and whitewater

rafting.

But it was only ancient risks that were found attractive. Modern risks like driving without

a seat belt or dabbling in drugs? Not so much.

Baby voice

While you might think that a husky voice would be sexier…

"Knock yourselves out"

— Studies have shown that what men are really attracted to is a higher-pitched voice.

"this is my ja-zam!"

According to one study done by University College London, men favored high-pitched voices,

because of the features, figure, and youth they associated with that voice. But when

the voice got too high, the attractiveness declined.

"buzzkill!"

In short, that in order to be most attractive, a voice should be moderately high-pitched

and slightly breathy, all which reportedly signaled that the speaker had a small frame.

But if your voice doesn't rate as "moderately high-pitched," no worries. According to a

study from the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, women talking to a hot guy speak in a higher

pitch without even realizing it.

Eggs-cellence

While ovulation's not exactly a trait, it's linked to things that men find attractive.

"You're all on the same cycle. This is very exciting. Your uterine walls will be shedding

for the next 3 to 5 days." "Nice memorization, did you Google that"?

According to a study in the journal Hormones and Behavior, men were more likely to rate

women as being the most attractive when they were at the most fertile point in the month.

Many studies have shown that as women approach peak fertility, voices pitch higher, body

odor becomes more desirable, and skin and lips may change color — all things men have

traditionally found more attractive.

Baby got back

Think it's the hourglass figure that's most attractive? It depends. According to research

done by professors at the University of Texas, it's your waist and hips that matter.

Professor Devendra Singh found that when women have a waist-to-hip ratio of between .67 and

.8, they're thought to be the most attractive to men. She surveyed men as to what shape

they found most attractive, but researched everything from Miss America contestants to

Playboy models. An overwhelming majority of the men agreed that the most attractive shape

had to do with that magic calculation, no matter what their age group was. From Beyonce

to Kate Moss, it didn't matter how much they weighed — that specific ratio was hottest

of all.

Heart of gold

It's easy to get stuck on looks. But studies have shown that personality traits like kindness,

respectfulness, and optimism really do make you look better. One study done at the University

of Westminster surveyed 2,157 male students — and surprisingly found that there was

no body type or shape they liked best. But when men were supplied with personality traits,

they chose a wider range of body types and sizes, compared to picks based on physical

appearance alone.

Another study from a group of Chinese universities found similar results. They took both men

and women and asked them to rate the attractiveness of a series of faces based only on appearance.

Two weeks later, the same group was given personality traits along with the faces, and

positive traits made faces more attractive. They even gave it a name: the halo effect.

"It doesn't matter what costume I wear, yours or mine. I'm a superhero. That's who

I am."

Knee Tendonitis Exercises & Stretches - Ask Doctor Jo - Duration: 7:22.

Hey everybody it's Doctor Jo, and today

I'm gonna show you some stretches and exercises for

knee tendonitis. Let's get started.

So let's start off with some stretches.

We're gonna do a hamstring stretch first.

You can stretch your hamstring a whole

lot of different ways, but how I'm going

to show you today is either with a strap,

you can use a strap, a dog leash if you

have one, a belt, or even a big towel. But

something tight not those resistance

bands. So just take the strap, if you have

one with loops that works really really

well cause you can kind of put it around

your foot here, lie down on the ground,

and I like to keep the other leg bent

because that just take some pressure off

of your back. Then keep your leg as

straight as you can, try not to bend your

knee, and then just pull your leg up with

the strap. So you're not really lifting

it up, you're pulling it up until you

feel a stretch right here through your

hamstrings. If you want more of a stretch,

pull your toes up and that'll kind of

engage those calf muscles too, so you get

a stretch throughout the whole leg. Hold that

stretch for about 30 seconds, and then do

three on each side. Then you're going to

stretch your quad muscles in the front.

You can also stretch those a whole bunch

of different ways, I'm going to show you

how to do it lying on your stomach. So

again taking the stretch strap or the

leash, and then put it around your ankle.

You're gonna roll over onto your stomach, and

take the strap and bring it around your

shoulder here, and just pull as far as

you comfortably can, bringing that heel

towards your bottom. So again holding

that stretch for about 30 seconds.

You should feel the stretch in front of

your leg now, that thigh area, and then

do three of those on each side.

After you do the stretches, you're going

to do some exercises lying down, and

towards the end of the video I'm going

to show you some awesome exercises with

a resistive band standing up so stay

tuned for those. But on the ground you do

a straight leg raise. So again leave one

side propped up so now you have a target

to protect your back a little bit. Keep

that leg nice and straight, pull your

toes up to help lock it out, and then

just come up to about even to the other

side. So don't take it all the way up,

just to about here and slowly come back

down. So you really want to control that

leg and really work those muscles. If you

go fast, you're using momentum and not

the muscles, so make sure you go nice

and slow. So start off with just about 10

and then you can work your way up to 15

20. If those become easy, you can add just

a light ankle weight on there. Then

you're going to roll over onto your side

and do an abduction of your hips. So the

bottom leg can be bent just a little bit,

but you want the body to be in a

straight line. So the top leg in your

upper body should be nice and straight,

you want to keep your legs nice and

straight, again pull your toes up to help

lock out that leg, and when you come up,

you want to kind of lead with your heel.

So it's not coming up with your toes up,

but almost with your heel up and make

sure you go back just a little bit

because some people come forward, but

then you're not working those outer

muscles. So make sure you kick back

behind you and come back down. So again

nice and slow, controlled, toes almost

pointed down, and just start off with

about 10 of those and then you can work

your way up.

Even if you just have the tendonitis on

one side, I do both sides for everything

just to keep both sides working because

sometimes you're compensating a little

bit and the good side gets a little

irritated, over worked, so it's always good

to do both sides. Alright now going to stand

up. So resistance band exercises are

really good for tendonitis

because what you want to do is work

those muscles, but you don't want to

overwork them because that's what's

already happened with the tendonitis. So

using the band's a great way to kind of

get that happy middle ground of working

it, but not working too much.

So now you're going to do a hip

abduction with resistive band, so what

you want to do you want to anchor the

band. You can do that, you can anchor it

on a doorway, you can wrap it around like

a something sturdy, or you can have a

mystery person hold onto it for you, but

if you need a chair or something for

balance go ahead and do that. Don't feel

like you have to do this without holding

on because sometimes that band is going

to be a little more than you think it is.

Keep that leg nice and straight, and the

same thing when you're lying down, you

want to keep your toes forward. A lot of

times people want to kind of turn their legs

like to do this way, but keep the toes

forward and almost go out leading with

your heel, but try to keep that leg

locked out nice and straight. So you're

just going to kick out that way and come

back in again. If you need something to

hold onto,

that's fine because you want to go nice

and controlled slow motion, making sure

you're controlling that band, that band

is not controlling you.

We're going to start off with about 10

of them, and then you can work your way

up from there. If 15, 20, 25 is easy, you can

get a more resistant band. The next one

is going to be extension, so hip

extension, again keep that leg nice and

locked out. Now you're gonna be facing

where the anchor is of the band, and then

lock out that leg pull those toes up and

then just kick back behind you. So if you

get a little off balance, you might

want something to hold on to,

but make sure you keep your leg straight.

You don't have to kick back far, but try

and keep that good slow controlled

motion while you're doing it. Again just

starting off with about ten working your

way up to 20 or 25. And the last exercise,

I really like it's really cool, is called

TKE or terminal knee extension. So this

time you bring the band kind of up

to your knee right here. If you have a

band, spread it out just a little bit

so it's not a right up in that

little pocket

of your knee. What you want to do, this one's a

little tough to figure out, but once you

get it down, it's pretty easy. You want to

keep your foot on the ground but bring

your heel up so your knee bends just a

little bit, and then straighten it out. So

that knee extension. We call a terminal

knee extension, but again really control it,

don't snap it back, make sure you're doing

making those muscles do all the work. So

see my toes stay down. I'm just

kind of lifting my heel and then

bringing it back down to give that knee

extension in there. That's a really good

exercise for that knee tendonitis. So

there you have it, those are your

stretches and exercises for knee

tendonitis. If you have and questions, leave them

in the comment section. To check out more videos go

don't let Remy keep biting you. Bye Bear. Have fun,

and I hope you feel better soon.

A Cancer Destroyer Better Than Chemo By 10 Times Stronger! - Duration: 2:03.

A Cancer Destroyer Better Than Chemo By 10 Times Stronger!

There is a fruit from guyabano/Graviola tree (Sour Sop tree) and is known to be a great

cancer destroyer.

It can be even better 10 times more than Chemo.

And you might wonder why this is unknown.

Because big firms don't want to lose money and make less profit because a medicine is

known out in the open.

The juice soursop can be consumed as a healthy choice but still the taste is just regular.

For those with gardens and yards, plant it right now.

Sadly, billions have died from cancer and the medicine is out there, but hidden from

deep-pocket greedy people.

The tree is called Guyabano/Graviola and it is from Brazil.

In English is soursop and in Spanish is guanabana.

It is a short low tree and the fruit pieces are really large.

It has a whitish pulp that is sweet and used for making juices, sherbet or other sweet

things.

This plant is anti-cancer in benefits and properties.

It also cures other issues and tumors too.

But, this plant is a prevention or cure for already affirmed types of cancer (all of them).

This graviola tree is also good as antimicrobial and antifungal plant, it resolves bacterial

infections and removes worms and parasites.

Also cures depression, anxiety, stress and hypertension.

Basically this plant is easy to be promoted; in the deep forests of the Amazon it grows

and it changed the lives of millions of people with cancer.

THE STUDY ON THIS PLANT STATED IT CAN BE USED FOR:

- Deadly infections that impair immunity.

- Cancer cells that didn't respond to therapy that caused hair loss, nausea and weight loss.

- Better mood and life outlook and more energy.

- Health and strength.

3 Surprising Problems of Successful People - Duration: 11:23.

Success is awesome

and achieving goals could be one of the greatest feelings in life

but there is a dark side to success that isn't often talked about

and this leads to some very successful people

living very sad lives or, at least,

having mental anguish that they don't know how to deal with,

they don't know where it comes from and the worst thing

is they feel like they shouldn't have it because they're successful.

So this video is for two kinds of people.

First off, it's for you if you are an up-and-comer,

success is coming your way

and I want to help you prepare for some of the negative things

that might come with it that nobody else is talking about.

And the second kind of person

is someone who has already achieved success.

And for you, you may be carrying around mental baggage

that you think is just a normal part of life

and this baggage can be sapping your energy,

making you less happy and making you less fun to be around

but you don't even notice it because you think it's just part of being successful.

It does not have to be it — it does not have to drive you.

I'm going to tell you about three things you can start to put down

today and get rid of that baggage.

So the first one of those things is this —

it's that success invites a comparing mind.

When I first started Charimas On Command,

I had a very simple goal and that was to pay

my rent without having to go again to that full-time day job.

And so that was a pretty set financial goal and that was all that I wanted to do.

When I came across someone who had a much bigger business

or a huge Youtube-following, I wasn't really impacted by it.

It seemed like they were running their race — I was running mine,

They could have their success — I could have mine,

and they really didn't have anything to do with each other

because of course they didn't.

What started to happen when I achieved my goals

is that my brain began looking outwards

and rather than pegging the new success goal to a personal financial goal,

what it did was it started comparing it to other people,

particularly to people on YouTube, and I've watched different channels

and I see some that maybe I thought,

"You know what? That content isn't as good as ours yet they're so much bigger.

We should be beating them.

In fact, we need to beat them. That's what we got to do,"

and so for a while, success to me would look like eclipsing that shadow

and that happened once or twice or three times

and it made me realize something.

First off, it was completely silly because it didn't make me feel any better.

Second off, I was treating Youtube subscribers like this fixed pie

which either they had it or I had it in which we couldn't both share.

Maybe they were appealing to an audience

that really got a lot out of what they were doing — in fact,

I'm sure that was the case but I treated it like,

"No, I needed to be better than them in a very, very fixed way,"

which is of course ridiculous.

And then third, it didn't stop.

As soon as I got one, then I wanted another.

When I beat that one, then I want another.

I just kept looking to the next thing.

There's nothing wrong with striving for more

but when you're comparing yourself to people outside of yourself,

that is a strong indicator that you have a comparing mind

and that, for you, it's become about status and not about giving back to the world

which really is what it was for me and I'm trying to recenter myself here.

So for you, if you identify with comparing mind,

solution to this is to interrupt that comparing mind

and I made another video about this a while ago

with still, clearly, something that I have to keep my eyes on

but it's a great video, it's a solution that works very, very well

and it's longer than I can include in this

so if you want to check that out, click the link in the description.

Second thing that I saw personally from success,

one of the negative side effects, is that

it can become a social crutch and I've seen this in other people,

I've seen this in myself and perhaps the most frustrating for me

because I should have known better.

Back when I was consultant

and I spent my days doing Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint

when somebody asked me, "Charlie, what do you do?"

I didn't really want to say consultant because I wasn't passionate about it

so I would come up with these ridiculous things.

I tell them that I was just passing through town because I was in the circus

or I tell them that I was an astronaut working on the International Space Station —

just insane things that were obviously jokes or that they would get, very quickly, were jokes

and what this did was it started conversation off on a fun banter of note

and so for a couple minutes, we go back and forth, we joke around

and of course, eventually, I would tell them what I did

but I realized what I was doing is I was letting my personality

and my sense of humor carry the weight of showing who I was

and that shifted once I started getting success in Youtube, particulary

because I wanted people to ask me what I did

not so I could be fun or funny or interesting or have a great time with them

but so that I could tell them I have a Youtube channel

because I was very excited and very proud of it at the time

and I still of course am but when people would ask me, "What do you do?"

and I say, "I'm a Youtuber," and they'd say, "Oh, really? What's your channel?"

I'd say, "Charisma On Command," and they'd say, "Oh, cool," and I go, "Yup, it is cool."

That conversation would die.

And that was because I wanted my success to speak for me.

Rather than be fun, funny, outgoing, interesting, engaged, and high-energy,

I just wanted to let that success speak for me

and I tell you I should have known better for two reasons —

one, because, "What do you do?" is one of the first things we talked about

in every single program that we teach

and we talked about how you have to answer in, first, a fun way

and then, second, to reveal your values through it.

So solution here is — I believe there's an article that I will link to

in the description. If not, it's one of the first things we cover on our newsletter

which is constantly what I'm talking about at the end of our videos.

So if you want to join that, I'll make sure that both of those links are in the description.

And the second reason is because I saw this all the time in New York City when I lived there

and I remember one time I was out of the club with a friend of mine who was a girl

and she wanted to talk to this guy who she thought was very handsome.

So she actually walked up, she approached him, they began to talk

and a minute and a half to two minutes later, she came running back.

So I said, "What happened?"

She said, "I asked him his name and what he did

and he immediately gave me his business card from Goldman Sachs

and started talking about his investment portfolio."

And I realize now that that guy I'm sure, he was in Goldman Sachs,

is a smart guy but at some point he wanted his status to speak for him

and he thought, clearly it didn't work as well as he had hoped,

that that would make people like him, particulary women,

and I've seen that that doesn't often work.

There's a stereotype that it does — it does not.

You need to let your personality speak for itself

which, again, I should have known better because I talk about this often

but we can fall into traps that we should see all the time.

So the third difficulty of success is this —

not only can success be a social crutch, it can be an internal happiness crutch.

Before the Youtube channel started to take off,

I had a pretty simple list of things which, I always have known, make me happy

and that's spending time with my friends, get outside in the sun,

get some exercise, eat a good meal — very, very simple things

that are going to make me feel good

and of course one of them was going out and meeting people.

When the Youtube channel started to take off for me,

I was in Colombia so Spanish is spoken there.

I could speak Spanish but it's not as easy for me as English

so making new friends wasn't as easy as it would be for me in English

and so at the time that the channel is taking off,

it's becoming a little bit more difficult for me to socialize and make a bunch of friends

and very, very easy for me to check the stats of my subscribers on my channel

so what began to happen is that I developed—

I mean I must be checking dozens of times a day to see how quickly our subscriber rate was growing.

And I check it over and over again and at the end, there will be 200 subscribers in a day

and that was awesome — 200 was so big.

And as we began to grow, that number would get to 500 and 700 and a thousand per day.

I was blown away by how awesome that was — it made me feel really good

because I wasn't going out and meeting as many people as I was typically used to in the States, for instance.

What happened though is that, again,

the bar just kept getting raised and today, if we get a thousand subscribers a day, I'm bummed

because that's not as much as we should be getting at the level that we're at now

but even more insidious than that is it taught my brain

that when it needed something to make it feel good or to be happy

is not to go hang out with my buddies who of course I still hang out with

or to go out and meet a new person but just to easily check those subscribers

and that of course is the language of Youtube

but if you have a business and you find yourself always checking your KPIs —

I have a friend of mine who confessed that this is him,

if you are an employee and there's some sort of metric

which you find yourself constantly coming back to because it's easier

than the things that create lasting happiness like investing in your relationships —

then that can become a problem because success, truly, at that level becomes addictive.

It's so easy to see, to feel and some of the things that actually make you happy are not.

So you'll find yourself getting attached to those stupid numbers which means nothing

at the expense of your relationships.

The downside of this is that even when I would notice I would have amazing days,

other things would be going on in my life that were firing on all cylinders and was great,

part of me might be bummed because the subscriber count wasn't where I wanted it to be

which is completely ridiculous.

So if you identify with this — with tying yourself to metrics of success in business —

check out, again, that video why you don't feel good enough

but also, add to that, you need to block yourself from checking these metrics too often.

Like if you're checking more than twice a day max, even once or once a week,

you have an issue so what I recommend there is

setting a bet with yourself or a friend that says,

"Every time I check over this amount that I set, I will pay you $20,"

and, very quickly, that's going to help you kick the habit.

So I hope that that helps — three things that you might not see coming

that success can bring or that are already existing in your life.

First off, that comparing mind, social crutches and internal crutches.

Those are huge problems that come from success I don't see people talk about

and I hope now you are prepared to deal with.

First off, I should say apologies that I'm still in this room.

It's Carnival right now in Brazil.

I ordered lights about a month ago, they still haven't gotten here

and I don't know if they will now that Carnival has started because business kind of shuts down.

So apologies that we're still filming in this room — hopefully we'll have a proper studio soon.

4 Tips For Empaths - Duration: 4:13.

4 Tips For Empaths

By Dylan Harper

This article is specifically for those people who already know they are Empaths � which

is far more involved than just having empathy. Most of you are not Empaths, lucky you, and

this will likely seem insignificant. That�s ok; I�m writing this for those people who

read a previous article on the subject, and have been asking me to list the tips I referred

to in it. I�m sorry it took so long for me to get around to it.

I�m not going to give background on what an Empath is, other than to say it�s a specific

form of psychism and one that is particularly unpleasant to deal with on an ongoing basis.

There are, however, some tricks that can help one cope with it. They will seem simple and

obvious, but things that are simple and obvious often go unutilized, for some reason. Using

a smudge stick, for example. These can be used for prevention, but are mostly being

listed as a kind of cure, if you will, for when it all starts to really weigh you down.

There are ways to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed by this sort of thing, but if

you�ve only just learned that you�re an Empath, it�s best to start here (energy

clearing). I�ll try to get round to an article on preventing and blocking out negative energy

in the near future.

Take a Clary Sage bath.

This is the single most effective thing you can do to clear all that emotional funk away.

And I do mean bath � a shower doesn�t permeate in the same manner. You don�t need

candles or anything else, just a nice hot bath and some privacy. Give it a good 15 minutes

and you will feel much, much better. I recommend it before going to bed, as you can carry all

that crap through your sleep and still wake up with it, otherwise. If you can�t find

sage bubble bath, it�s ok, anything will work, I just really love the sage.

Breathe.

Wherever you are, stop what you�re doing for 5 minutes and just breathe. You should

be inhaling through the nose and from the diaphragm. Slowly. And then you should be

exhaling slowly, through the lips � don�t just open your mouth and blow it all out.

Pretend you�re blowing on a cup of hot coffee; that�s the kind of blowing you want. Slow

and steady. Imagine that each time you inhale you are drawing all that crap up to the surface,

and then expelling it when you exhale. If you practice, that will be precisely what

you learn to do, eventually. Do not overdo it initially � deep breathing can release

all kinds of emotional junk you weren�t previously cognizant of, and that will just

make you feel worse. Really, really worse. So take it slow until you�re more skilled

at it. A few deep breaths is enough when you�re just learning.

Smudge sticks.

Purifying your environment with a sage smudge stick is pretty good stuff. It stinks, in

my opinion, but a lot of people seem to like the smell. Regardless, it�s not the smell

that matters, but the way the sage clears the air. An Empath should be able to really

feel it as they walk around, it�s fairly tangible, really. It�s good in a pinch,

when you don�t have time to take a sage bath.

Drink something hot.

Tea, coffee, hot chocolate � these will help you feel cleansed from the inside. Do

not, however, use soup or something of that nature for this purpose. Soups will have the

opposite effect, due to the additives, oil, and whatever else they contain

Gov't says import of foot-and-mouth vaccines unavoidable - Duration: 1:50.

Two more suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease are reported in Korea.

Thankfully, vaccines have proved effective in curbing that strain of the virus... and

the government plans to import more from abroad.

Kim Hyo-sun has more on efforts to contain the viral outbreak.

The government has confirmed that the recent outbreak of the A-type strain of foot-and-mouth

disease can be contained using vaccines.

Vice Minister Lee Jun-won of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said

at a briefing on Monday that the strain of the virus detected at a farm in Yeoncheon,

Gyeonggi-do Province, about 70 kilometers away from the capital, is a match for the

type of vaccine currently used for cows, which covers both type O... and type A.

Lee, however, said that the current inventory would not be enough for the worst-case scenario

where the virus spreads to pigs,... adding that Korea will have no choice but to import

more doses.

According to the agriculture ministry, the country has 990-thousand of the O-plus-A vaccines

and 8-point-3 million of the O-type.

The ministry plans to import some 1-point-6 million of the O-plus-A type, and 3-point-2

million of the O-type virus... starting this week through early March.

Of the past eight outbreaks of the highly contagious disease in the country since 2000,...

almost all involved the O-type strain Only one of them, at cow farms in Pocheon

and Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do Province, involved the A-type.

After the nation's worst outbreak, foot-and-mouth vaccinations became mandatory in 2010.

The O-plus-A vaccine is given to cows, while pigs are given only the O-type,... given that

the A-type strain has never been detected in Korean pigs, something the authorities

hope remains the case this time as well.

Gov't to invest US$ 47 mil. until 2021 for developing unmanned vehicles - Duration: 1:25.

To better aid efforts in developing technologies related to un-manned vehicles....

Korea's science ministry is increasing spending on projects dedicated to that purpose.

For details on the 5-year plan we turn to Oh Jung-hee.

The Korean government says it will inject over 47 million U.S. dollars through 2021...

to advance the local unmanned vehicle industry.

Having designated the sector as one of the country's key strategic industries,... the

Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning announced on Monday its finalized version

of a master plan... to develop drones, self-driving cars, unmanned ships and agricultural machines.

The plan is extended by two years from the initial plan set last year, and calls for

spending 12 million dollars more.

This will allow for more investment in developing a traffic management system for unmanned vehicles...

to monitor the movements of unmanned vehicles at altitudes of less than 150 meters.

Aside from that, the ministry's original plans stay the same.

Until 2019, the ministry is set to spend 18 million dollars on upgrading the performance

of small unmanned vehicles.

Nine million dollars will be spent to develop communication and operation technologies...

and 6 million dollars will go to developing intelligent systems for making unmanned vehicles.

Why You Need to Take Time Off & What to do with Your Money | #FFLTV Ep 12 - Duration: 22:33.

- Hey good looking people... and the rest of you!

I'm Ryan Daniel Moran.

Today we'll talk about the importance of taking time off.

What to do when you're starting

a business that you have no passion for.

What to do with the money in your bank account.

And we'll look at a multi million dollar

powder drink company.

This one right here.

Play that funky music!

I became an entrepreneur because I wanted to take

a lot of time off.

I know a lot of entrepreneurs

who got into this world because they wanted

to be free and just enjoy their time.

And have passive income.

Which I think we all know is a little bit of a mix back.

Passive income tends to be very active income.

I have one friend in particular,

he actually just moved here to Austin Texas.

We'll be having him on the Freedom Fast lane podcasts soon.

But he is the one guy that I know

that actually takes an incredible amount of time off.

And he said something real interesting.

He said the secret to me being able to take

so much time off is I don't consider myself an entrepreneur,

I just have multi million dollar businesses

that support my lifestyle.

That's interesting.

If you're an entrepreneur there's nothing else

that you can be in the world.

I'm one of those people.

I went to college to be a pastor

and the whole time I was like,

I really just want to be an entrepreneur.

Until one day, one of my professors said,

if you could do anything else but go

into the ministry, please do that.

And I said, thank you very much,

I'm going to be an entrepreneur.

So I thought I was getting into a world

where I was going to have unlimited time off

and total control.

And guess what?

I do.

We all do.

I just happen to be really bad

at being protective of that time.

Most of us as entrepreneurs are exactly that.

We got into this game because we wanted

a better life, we have control over our life now.

But we feel like we're slaves to our business,

because we actually don't give ourselves the structure

to be able to take that time off.

I can work anywhere including in bed

and at the dinner table and while I'm watching TV

and early in the morning and as soon as I wake up

and check in my phone and make sure

the sales are still there.

That is fairly common among most of the entrepreneurs

that I work with.

What I have found is that I am resistant

to the idea of taking time off,

because I'm worried that something terrible

is going to happen.

But by actually dialing it back

and working less, that is when my batteries

start to charge and it is actually

when I find this creative solutions

to the problems that I perceive in my business.

So when I am particularly drained,

as I said that I was on a recent episode

of Freedom Fast Lane TV.

The first thing I know I need to do is take a step back.

Because two things are going to happen.

One, I'm going to look at a problem

and I'm going to feel sharper and clearer

about what the solutions are and what is actually important.

The other thing that is going to happen

is new creative solutions are going to happen,

they're going to come up as a result of me

recharging those batteries.

Whereas when I'm trying to pound my way

through something, that is when there is no

creative energy and it is when you are

at the least capacity to be able to get

the thing that you want done.

So I say let's start working in

the lifestyle that we all say we're working for.

We all say that we want to have lots of time off

and time with our family.

But we'll get there when the money is there.

I promise you the money will get there

if you take regular time for yourself

and for the things that actually matter to you.

There's a part of our brain at the end of the day

that just wants pleasure and to avoid pain.

And when we are grinding all of the time,

we are connecting in our brain

that money and success equals more pain.

We need to retrain that and say,

the more money I make, the better my life gets.

I did a fantastic episode that was absolutely spot on

with one of my mentors, Peter Shalard,

over at the Freedom Fast Lane podcast.

So if you go over to freedomfastlane.com/itunes,

it'll pull it up in your podcasting app

or on your computer.

Or you could go over to freedomfastlane.com

and just search for Peter Shalard

and that episode will come up.

He calls himself the shrink for entrepreneurs.

And he says exactly that.

That our brain just wants to be happy

and avoid pain and we as entrepreneurs

are working towards this idea,

while also training our brains

that we're always going to be miserable.

And that's why we sabotage.

And that is why it's so important to be intentional

about the life that you want before your successful.

So you can fill in everything else

around the life you want to enjoy.

Of course I believe the fastest way to get there

is to build a business and to invest the profits.

So let's look at some questions

that'll help you do exactly that.

- [Narrator] Chris Van Loan asks,

how do you choose a product when you don't yet

have a specific passion or niche?

- I am in the rare minority, I think,

that thinks that passion in business is overrated.

I think starting a business just for

the cash flow is totally fine.

In fact, I know a lot of people who do that,

they treat their business like a video game.

If I do this and I do this this result comes out.

I want to gameify this as much as possible.

So they become passionate about playing the game,

even if they're not passionate about

the brand that they're building.

Look, most entrepreneurs, I think,

start businesses for the money or for

the lifestyle that they're going to get.

And the passion seems to come later.

I find it to be a rare exception

that someone actually gets paid to do what they love.

I know that's not popular to say in our little community,

but I don't know that many people

who actually make all their money doing

the thing that they're really excited about.

So have your thing, have your thing that makes money,

have your business that pays for your life

and then go enjoy your passions.

Being in the business that makes you money

will give you the skill sets that you need

if you want to make your passion a business.

I don't know a lot of people have navigated that well.

Meaning, that they have started a business

that they're passionate about,

stayed passionate about it and been

able to operate it like a business.

I know more people who are like,

I'm going to blog about this thing I'm really excited about,

if I make money, great.

And as a result, they get paid to do it,

but it never really becomes a big business.

It might become a legitimate cash flow stream,

but it's not something they can scale or sell.

The thing that you can scale or sell

is the business that you operate like a business.

Which is probably going to involve some things

that you're not necessarily passionate about.

That is totally cool.

If we can divorce the two, if we can divorce

the thing that makes us money

from the thing that we just feel so passionate about,

then we're free to live in both worlds.

So build the thing that makes you cash,

invest it, sell it if you want

and go park that money into other more passive

income streams and develop the thing that recharges you

and gets you excited and gives you passion.

Do that as a gift to the world

and if it makes money, awesome.

Or if there are a lot of people demanding

that you sell something, go ahead and do that

once the cash flow business is already taken care of.

So if you watched the episode of Freedom Fast Lane TV,

where I say, follow the money not the passion,

this was exactly my advice.

We are entrepreneurs that are always looking

to maximize everything,

including our lives and our happiness.

And we start a business that makes money

and then the next thing is, well what do I do

in my personal life that I can make a business

and maximize that.

I think that's the wrong approach.

Double down in what makes money,

double down in what gives you excitement and passion

and freedom and free yourself from

the idea that they have to be the same thing.

They can serve one another, balance one another

and actually support one another,

because as you make the money,

you'll feel good about playing in your passions

and being passionate about something will give you

the energy you need to be at full force in your business.

Now of course there are exceptions to this,

but I don't think that it is necessary

for you to be super excited about your business.

At least the things that you sell.

As long as you are enjoying

the process of being an entrepreneur.

The way that you manage that is simply following the money,

where is the audience, what do they need,

how to I serve them.

Can you be passionate about the difference

that you're making?

Can you be passionate about the growth

that you're enjoying?

Can you be excited about the challenges

that you're learning to navigate

and therefore what you're learning?

Can you be passionate about your customers specifically

and the excitement they get when

they get your product in hand?

Can you be excited and passionate

to see other people using your product?

Can you be passionate about other things

rather than just the product that you're selling?

If so, you're golden.

You're in the clear, go scale that.

The only time that it's a problem,

is if you find it so mundane and boring

that you just can't get yourself

to do the things that grow the business.

That's the sign that you need to exit.

But if you can continue to grow

and you can continue to be excited

about the process, then you don't need

to necessarily be all gung ho

and excited and passionate about

every minor detail of your business.

- [Narrator] Melissa Blackman asks,

I have $50,000 in the bank.

Now what do I do?

- Money in the bank.

Do you want to do something fun here?

Give it all to me.

Put it in a parachute, go sky diving

and yell free bananas for all,

as you plummet towards the earth.

Buy a really crappy house.

Fill a storage unit of old VCRs.

Put a pair of ridiculous rims on an old crappy car.

Get a set of really sweet, oh shoot what are they called?

Grills?

Get an awesome grill.

Buy an entire church, tickets to Freedom Fast Lane live.

Boost a Facebook video of you saying to your crush,

hey check me out now and buy a lot of traffic.

So there's two answers to this question.

I know that for me, when I hit a certain point

and it actually was $50,000 that was in

the bank account, which was about six months

to a years worth of expenses for me at the time,

that was a new level of freedom for me.

So there is an ROY on freedom

and feeling secure about your financial status.

So if you don't have an emergency fund,

where you really feel like you've got

six to 12 months worth of something

to take care of you in the event of an emergency,

do nothing.

Just put it away and know that you are now

free to go do things that you want

and take a little bit of calculated risk,

because if it all doesn't work out,

you've got a nice fallback option.

That's what I decided to do when I had my first

$50,000 in the bank.

If you're looking to invest $50,000,

I had made the mistake too many times

of saying, I've got money, I'm just going to

throw it all into something.

So I would say incrementally invest in something

that you believe in, whether it's a dividend paying stock,

or it's a real estate investment trust,

or it's a down payment on an investment property

that you want to buy and rent out

for somewhat passive income, these are all things

that are good incremental movement for you to invest in.

But I've made the mistake of trying to diversify

into things that I'm not necessarily good at doing.

So where I would spend the money is on acquiring

a business that supported the rest of your efforts.

If you don't have a business,

put it into a different type of income stream.

But if you're an entrepreneur

and you are building a business,

what can you use that money for

to overall support the health of the company.

Is it in more traffic, is it in sponsoring influencers?

Is it in acquiring a high traffic website

that isn't monetized that can support some of the products

that you're trying to sell?

These are all very very good uses

of funds that might not have that immediate

win that so many people look for,

but it gives you the long term after effects

that really drive business.

$50,000 is just enough to be able to spend

a good amount on traffic, and or acquire

a small property that makes either

a little bit of money or allows you to support

the efforts that you're doing.

Those are the areas of business that I would focus on.

If you don't have a business,

I'd put it into a dividend paying stock

that you're incrementally investing in,

meaning you're not just dumping all the money in there.

Or you're putting it into a real estate transaction

that you are going to finance the rest

and then have the renters pay for it.

So $50,000 probably isn't going to change

any life or business, unless it just frees you up

to be comfortable and take more strategic risk.

So if you're beyond that point,

put it into a business, or a passive income stream.

(upbeat music)

So for today's case study I thought it would be fun

if we look at a brand that I personally buy from.

So this isn't one of our tribe members.

We usually reserve this time to look at one of our tribe

members businesses.

But I thought it would be fun to go outside

and look at a case study that I follow,

because I think there are some nuggets

that will help both our students

and those of you who watch this show,

just because you want to get inspiration

for businesses that you might start.

So today we're looking at Four Sigmatic.

Four Sigmatic sells powdered drinks,

like powdered coffee, powdered hot chocolate right here.

And most of them have some sort of a mushroom blend of them.

So the hot chocolate is hot cocoa with reishi mushroom.

So mushrooms either have cognitive enhancer abilities

or some of them are considered to be immune boosters.

So I don't know if any of that is true,

but that's how they are marketed.

What's interesting about this company

is they do a few things really really well.

And by the way, you'll see me often

drinking their products while we're recording this show.

What they've done really well first is

they have a very clear differentiating factor.

For them it's the mushroom blend,

because it would be one thing for somebody to say,

yeah I drink Four Sigmatic powdered coffee.

Where's the differentiating factor there?

There isn't one.

But if I say I drink Four Sigmatic coffee

because it has a mushroom blend

and that gives me a cognitive kick and helps me focus more.

Ah, now there's just a little bit

of a differentiating factor.

Now let's be real, coffee on its own

is a cognitive enhancer that will give you

a little bit of a bump and help you get more work done.

But the fact that there is some sort of a twist

tells the brain, this is new, this is different

and it can create the impulse purchase.

And it is that impulse purchase

for a very specific reason that creates

raving fans and repeat customers.

As you can see.

So I'm on subscribe and save on Amazon

and I've bought multiple products

just because I use the impulse buy on Amazon

and I went and I bought more,

because I enjoyed the product,

we keep it here at the office,

so everybody can have some mushroom coffee if they want.

So a differentiating factor doesn't need to be

something that sets the world on fire,

it doesn't need to be a big disruptor business.

It can be just enough that peaks curiosity

enough to try it.

The classic story that I like to tell here is Coors lite,

when they came out with their slogan,

triple hops brewed for a maximum freshness.

All beer is triple hops brewed.

There's no differentiating factor there.

The twist though is that you say,

oh it's triple hops brewed I should give that a shot.

I wonder what the flavor of triple hops brewed beer is.

Spoiler alert, you've already had it.

But if you can call out some piece of your product

that is slightly different or that no one

is talking about to create that impulse purchase.

That gives you a product and a business that is different

among all of your competitors.

And that's what so many physical

product sellers are missing.

They're missing that piece that makes them different.

And that differentiation is what creates

the fans that will set you apart

for everything that you do moving forward.

The second thing that this brand does really well,

is their marketing and the aggressiveness

with which they market is spot on.

So I discovered Four Sigmatic as a result

of them being advertised and discussed

on Tim Farris' podcast.

If you haven't read the article,

the Tim Farris effect, go read it

as a case study in how influencer marketing

can have an impact on any business.

This was an article about how Tim Farris

affected a line of mens clothing,

called Mizzen and Main.

But how one influencer made such

an impact in their business that it changed everything.

Four Sigmatic does the same thing

of sponsoring podcasts so influencers

are talking about their brand.

This does a couple of things.

First of all, it aligns a business with a thought leader,

so you have an elevated perception in the market place.

And second, it has the exact same effect

of doing a blast or a give away,

but you do it profitably.

Some people will happily spend $5000 on giving away

product in order to get it out to people

or get their rankings on amazon,

or to get people to buy for a dollar

so that you have them on subscription.

And that's a totally viable strategy.

But I find it so interesting that people are

unwilling to spend the same $5000 to go to

an influencer to talk about your brand

so they're sending actual real customers

that want your product and will subscribe.

So this business has done a really good job

of being aggressive with their marketing

and spending a lot to be able to drive

the collective awareness.

Now I don't know if they're profiting

on that advertising.

But I do know that when you get

a customer and they come back,

it increases the amount of monthly subscribers,

it increases the amount of people talking about it,

like I'm talking about it right now,

it increases the amount of word of mouth,

it increases the amount of other products

that they come back and purchase.

So if you look at it from the lifecycle

of a customer and you're willing

to spend all the upfront profit

that you would get on advertising,

that is when you will have a break through brand.

So that one little clear differentiator

plus aggressive marketing is what has made

Four Sigmatic a multi million dollar business

selling powdered coffee.

I have no idea what their costs are,

I don't know what Four Sigmatic means.

So it's not like their profit margins are huge.

This is like a $16 product.

And it's not like the name is just so good

that it drives people to become customers.

They've just executed well and that's what it takes

to build a multi million dollar business.

If you've been hearing about these kinds

of case studies and you've seen

what we do here on the show and on

the Freedom Fast Lane podcast,

and you're wondering how do I actually

start one of these businesses,

we put new people through a boot camp

that will get you to select, source

and sell your first product so that you have

that first step towards your million dollar business

in process and then we can put you through

our strategy to taking that to a million dollar business.

We do that boot camp with something called

the brand builder boot camp.

You can go over to freedomfastlane.com/bootcamp

to start your path to getting a product like this

that you'll then differentiate and advertise

and ultimately be on the path to a million dollar business.

The older I get and actually the older my daughter gets,

the more I realize how much of a finite amount of time

we have on this planet.

And I realize that for most of my life

I've been saving things for later.

And I've been saving the things that I want to do

until later and I spent a whole lot of time

and energy worrying about things

that were not in my control and trying to

get somewhere that was very illusive.

And I find that the older Ester gets

and the older I get, the more I just want to

enjoy everyday and enjoy every moment

of everyday and realize that all of the things

that I stress about are just more research

and development for the next win,

the next opportunity or the next thing

that I get to enjoy.

Pain is like a piece of navigation guiding you

towards something different that'll lead you

to a different destination.

So as you build your businesses,

as you look at the overall financial strategy

that you will follow, please remember

that you are in this for a certain type

of life that you want to enjoy.

All we have is now.

All we have is the experiences that are in front of us.

Everything else is either a memory or a projection.

So none of that is real.

All you have is today, so take time off with your family.

Enjoy the piece of pizza.

Enjoy the things that are in front of you,

build towards your goals but do them in a way

that gives you more freedom and allows you to enjoy

the process of getting there.

That is what freedom is all about.

That's why we do what we do.

That's why we start businesses

and invest the profits because that's what people

like me actually enjoy doing.

Pursuing opportunities and providing value.

That's what an entrepreneur does,

that's what capitalism gives us,

the freedom to do and that's why what you do matters.

Thanks for watching the show,

we'll see you on the next episode.
