As TV audiences continue to fracture, the definition of a hit show is constantly evolving,
and with every success, there's always a clunker waiting to be axed.
Some critics feel that 2017 has brought some of the worst shows in recent history.
With that in mind, we've rounded up the eight worst shows of 2017.
Emerald City
Just a few years ago, Uproxx reported on five vastly different Wizard of Oz TV adaptations
in development.
Only one of those made it to air.
Emerald City was director Tarsem Singh's first foray into television.
It was clear that NBC was hoping for their own Game of Thrones, but while Emerald City
was both beautiful and violent, no amount of Singh's signature special effects could
compensate for a weak storyline.
According to The Hollywood Reporter,
"...the silly merges with the violent, fumbling the tone on down the Yellow Brick Road (which
here is made of opium)."
Even its stellar cast - featuring Adria Arjona, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Vincent D'Onofrio
- was not enough to keep audiences interested.
With all those effects, the show couldn't have been cheap—which meant that low ratings
quickly doomed the 10-episode season.
After premiering the show in January, NBC canceled Emerald City in May.
APB
When sci-fi satire APB premiered on Fox, it had a lot of potential.
The series took aim at America's police state in the making—but it felt more like a comedy
than the drama it really needed to be.
APB followed tech billionaire Gideon Reeves, played by Justin Kirk, and explored privately
funded police forces equipped with drones, mobile apps, and tech gadgets.
However, too much focus was put on flashy technology, leaving no room for actual character
development.
The Hollywood Reporter called the show
"Just an empty, run-of-the-mill cop show."
"It's just stupid."
Heavily relying on style over substance, APB buckled under its own distorted morality.
Earning a 35 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes, it was canceled after 12 episodes.
Taken
NBC tried to tap into a particular set of skills with Taken—a prequel series to Liam
Neeson's popular film franchise--but unfortunately, Neeson had nothing to do with this spy drama.
"I don't know who you are."
Clive Standen stars as a young Bryan Mills, giving audiences a perspective into the past
of Neeson's hardened espionage agent.
Regardless of its prequel status, Taken was ultimately just a procedural that struggled
to live up to the kinetic pacing and compelling action of the movies that inspired it.
As The Hollywood Reporter explained:
"What Taken actually proves to be as a series is just another NBC action drama in which
a government team faces a different limited threat each week."
Poor reviews aside, Taken performed well enough, prompting NBC to order a Season 2.
According to Deadline, only Jennifer Beals and Standen will return—which means some
well-needed restructuring has definitely TAKEN place.
Training Day
While Taken was renewed for a second season at NBC, CBS's small-screen adaptation of Antoine
Fuqua's Training Day wasn't so lucky.
Coming in at 22% on Rotten Tomatoes, the show was plagued with horrible reviews as soon
as it premiered.
Vulture called the show a
"...hackneyed, dreadfully written carbon copy of every crummy cop show you've ever seen."
Flipping the script on the 2001 film's original story, the series paired rookie Kyle Craig,
played by Justin Cornwell, with seasoned officer Frank Rourke, played by Bill Paxton.
It was an intriguing but risky move for CBS, who relied mostly on Paxton's acting chops
to carry the series.
But Paxton's talents couldn't save Training Day from overused exposition and slow pace.
The show was at risk as soon as it premiered, and after Paxton's untimely passing in February,
TV LINE reporter that it was moved from its Thursday night time slot to Saturday.
Deadline then reported that Training Day was officially canceled months later.
Star
Due to the massive success of Empire, Fox brought another hip-hop-themed drama from
Oscar-nominated director Lee Daniels to the small-screen.
But audiences quickly discovered Star was nothing like the network's lavish Lyon family
drama.
The series follows the melodramatic aspirations of Star Davis as she aims to get famous—or
die trying.
With scandalous storylines abound, Star might not have been granted a second season without
big-name talent like Benjamin Bratt and Queen Latifah.
The one-dimensional characters, cheesy storylines, and over-the-top music video segments make
it difficult to take Star seriously.
The guilty pleasure angle may be the show's selling point, setting up Star as a fun chaser
to the more serious Empire.
According to Variety, a two-hour crossover between the two shows helped boost Star's
second season ratings.
But only time will tell if it will make it to a third season.
Disjointed
Chuck Lorre knows a thing or two about sitcom success, bringing Two and a Half Men and The
Big Bang Theory to CBS—two comedies that were regularly panned by critics while still
garnering huge ratings.
Moving from network TV to Netflix's streaming platform, Lorre has continued doing his thing
with the pot comedy Disjointed.
The show stars Kathy Bates as Ruth Whitefeather Feldman, the owner of an offbeat medical marijuana
dispensary in Los Angeles, and used Lorre's signature three-camera setup to explore the
misadventures of the shop's staff.
"Stoned, I am getting!"
The Daily Dot reported:
"Just as real nerds tend to reject the heightened, shrill versions of themselves they see on
The Big Bang Theory, real pot smokers are likely to reject or even be offended by their
portrayal on Disjointed."
The series may be summer 2017's weirdest new show.
According to The Wrap, it was also the summer's worst.
Marvel's Iron Fist
Marvel and Netflix have proven to be a worthy partnership over the past few years.
From Daredevil to Jessica Jones, fans had grown accustomed to edgy comic book stories
mixed with a heaping helping of action and intrigue.
That all came to a halt with Marvel's Iron Fist.
The conflict came slow, the fight sequences fell flat, and Finn Jones' performance as
Danny Rand failed to live up to expectations.
Jessica Henwick's portrayal of Colleen Wing breathed some much-needed life into the series,
but it wasn't enough to lift Iron Fist out of the muck.
Indiewire said the series felt
"...incredibly inessential, even boring at times.
It just… didn't need to happen.
Marvel could have taken a pass on this one, or found a more interesting take on it."
Entertainment Weekly reports that second season is underway, promising a full-on comic-style
team-up between Danny Rand and Luke Cage.
Here's hoping their partnership can lift the series out of the Netflix doldrums.
"Sweet Christmas."
Marvel's Inhumans
Scoring just 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, Inhumans comes in as Marvel's worst-ever comic
book adaptation.
Indiewire called it, quote, "the worst thing Marvel has done in decades."
ABC backed the series with a Disney budget, and even gave it an IMAX limited theatrical
release, but not even the star power of Anson Mount and Iwan Rheon seemed to help.
Box Office Mojo reports just $2.9 million in ticket sales for the theatrical release,
and TVSeriesFinale reports the show averaged just under 2 million viewers.
In this case, however, poor reviews and dismal viewership might not lead to a cancellation.
Marvel's original plan for Inhumans called for a big-screen MCU blockbuster, so Disney
might still greenlight more episodes on ABC's behalf.
On the bright side: if more seasons do come, at least we'll get to see more of that cute
giant dog.
(Inhumans' only redeeming quality)

Gay Olympian Issues NASTY Ultimatum To Trump – Gets WORST News Of His Life 24Hrs Later - Duration: 24:56.
Gay Olympian Issues NASTY Ultimatum To Trump – Gets WORST News Of His Life 24Hrs Later
The winter Olympics is just around the corner and we're already learning that the games
aren't going to go happen without being an anti-Trump affair.
These athletes should have taken note of the devastating impact mixing politics with sports
had on the National Football League but instead decided to ruin it for themselves and everyone
else.
Heading off the anti-Trump attacks first was 33-year-old Gold Medalist skier, Lindsey Vonn.
She's since slipped into obscurity but there was someone not far behind willing to take
the disrespectful torch from her in trashing Trump.
Like Vonn, it didn't take long for the gay Olympic ice skater to receive his "prize"
for disrespecting the president.
It's strange how athletes have no problem using Trump to bring attention to themselves
by making such bold public statements, for how much they hate him.
What's even odder, is that they never seem to learn their lesson and can't stop themselves
from slandering him, regardless of the massive ramifications.
The latest "victim" of this stupidity is Adam Rippon, the 2016 U.S. men's figure
skating champion who just got what he earned when he opened his mouth and made a disgusting
public declaration about Trump.
"Members of the US Olympic Team represent our country on the biggest sports stage in
the world, but one athlete says he will not under any circumstance meet the Present or
the Vice President.
Why?
Because he's gay and LGBTers hate America when it's not run by a progressive douche,"
Brian Anderson reported for Downtrend.
"Seriously, this uptight gay athlete is taking something that is supposed to be apolitical
and about competition and sportsmanship and turning into a bitchy Resistance moment."
The athlete flew into a typical liberal temper tantrum for attention.
USA Today reports:
Adam Rippon, the 2016 U.S. men's figure skating champion who is believed to be the
first openly gay U.S. Winter Olympian, criticized the White House's selection of Vice President
Mike Pence to lead the 2018 U.S. Olympic delegation to South Korea in a phone interview with USA
TODAY Sports Tuesday night.
"You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy?
I'm not buying it," said Rippon.
Not buying what?
The fact that Mike Pence is the VP or that he's leading the US Olympic delegation?
Either way, it's a reality.
Another reality is that Mike Pence never "funded" gay conversion therapy, so this guy is as
full of shit as any anti-Trump idiot out there.
Rippon, 28, who was selected to his first Olympic team earlier this month after finishing
fourth at the U.S. national championships, said that he would prefer not to meet Pence
during the traditional meet-and-greet between the official delegation and U.S. athletes
in the hours leading to the opening ceremony.
"If it were before my event, I would absolutely not go out of my way to meet somebody who
I felt has gone out of their way to not only show that they aren't a friend of a gay
person but that they think that they're sick.
I wouldn't go out of my way to meet somebody like that," Rippon said.
It's funny when these people spout off like this thinking they are going to get a standing
ovation and instead come out looking like losers, which was the case with Rippon.
Trump doesn't care if he comes to the White House because the president has far more support
from the American people that this figure skater who lost all that support when he slammed
our leadership.
The most ironic part of it all, is that Trump has actually done more for the gay community
than Barack Obama.
Also, in making these really divisive remarks, he actually proved himself has being totally
intolerant while criticizing Trump for supposedly not being tolerant.
It's such silly irony that only liberals are capable of creating.
However, he wasn't done with his verbal vomit and doubled down with what he said next
that really proved just how crazy he is.
"I don't think he has a real concept of reality.
To stand by some of the things that Donald Trump has said and for Mike Pence to say he's
a devout Christian man is completely contradictory," Rippon added.
"If he's okay with what's being said about people and Americans and foreigners
and about different countries that are being called 'shitholes,' I think he should
really go to church."
Of course Mike Pence is morally against homosexuality as a devout Christian and he does goes to
church, which the skater would have known if he could see past his sequins.
Just because you're morally against something, doesn't mean that you treat people different
or with any less respect, and Pence proves that – Rippon, on the other hand, does not.
"I don't think the current administration represents the values that I was taught growing
up.
Mike Pence doesn't stand for anything that I really believe in," Rippon added just
for sake of sounding like he knew what he was talking about, but proved he does not.
Our current administration absolutely represents everything our country was built upon, those
core values of our Constitution, which this figure skater must have forgotten after eight
years of "leadership" from a president who actually didn't represent the values
of this country.
Just like Vonn alienated herself from a massive fan base of proud Americans who watch sports,
Rippong has now just done the same.
Do these athletes never look at the failures before them and take note of the demise?
They seem perpetually intent on destroying they're reputations instead in their ongoing
quest to destroy Trump's.

Lifts & Levels: 3.5" Superlift Lift Kit 2017 Chevy 1500 - Duration: 4:39.
- Hey guys, Brad here with Custom Offsets.
Got episode lifts and levels for you.
This one's gonna be a 3 1/2 inch Superlift.
♪ We got them mean trucks ♪
♪ Decked out ♪
♪ Rolling though the woods and they flexed out ♪
♪ Whips so big and the windows black ♪
♪ Got the life all lit up ♪
♪ Double chromed out stacks ♪
♪ Yeah, we let 'em get dirty ♪
♪ But still they so clean ♪
♪ Custom Offsets Team stands to achieve ♪
♪ We on top of it now ♪
♪ We ain't never gonna fade ♪
♪ So you better ready ♪
♪ We taking over the game ♪
- Ah, this is a popular lift size for the '07 and up
GM half ton trucks because it's not a full blown lift kit
so the price is pretty reasonable.
And, what this is this is gonna be similar to a
Rough Country makes a 3 1/2 inch lift as well
and it's pretty much the same components.
And how it works is
you got the lift spacer up front
so this spacer is gonna go on top of your strut
that's gonna provide the lift for the truck
and then in order to basically
handle the new angle
of the control arms is they give you these new
tubular upper control arms from Superlift
and you see how it is basically it's designed to sit
at a higher angle
and the ball joint is clocked accordingly
rather than the factory ones.
And that's so what that allows you is
it allows you to not eat through ball joints
and still maintain a good ride
unlike the 3 1/2 inch kits that don't come with
upper control arms.
And this is gonna come with a differential drop as well
it's a small differential drop
only about this much,
but it's enough to keep the CV angles in a safe area
or a safe zone I should say, I guess.
Then, they have this new skid place for the diff
once it's lowered down, just a little protection
for the differential after the differential drop
and then in the back it rounds it off
with just some blocks here.
One thing that I don't really like about
the Superlift kit is they're the only ones I've seen
that don't give you a painted blocks
so the blocks in the rear are bare metal.
But, nothing a little spray paint won't take care of
and then, you got your new u-bolts, hardware.
And then, shocks as well for the back.
These are gonna be the Superlift shocks,
just their standard twin-tube shocks
for the rear of the truck.
We're gonna go ahead and we got this thing up on the lift
and Jake's getting really upset
because I'm holding his parts here hostage
so he's gotta go ahead and get this installed here
so we're gonna go ahead and get them on the truck
(upbeat electronic music)
Alright, so we got the 3 1/2 inch Superlift
installed on the truck now.
And, as you can see,
the key of this system is the upper control arm.
You can see even at full droop,
it's not at too much of angle here on the ball joint
which is what you're after.
And this is the factory control arm
and as you can see,
if it were to be at the same angle
this ball joint would be maxed out
and that's gonna ruin the ride
and you're gonna go through ball joints like crazy.
So that's why on these kits that don't have a knuckle,
you need to have a heavy duty upper control arm
with the new index ball joint on there to handle
that ball joint angle.
The rest of the kit, pretty simple.
The struts basically are up here
which is gonna provide the lift for you,
3 1/2 inches of lift.
And then, the differential drop
which you can't really see cause it's just a little
small differential drop, which is all you need.
Drops diff down to help the CV axle angles.
And, uh, that's pretty much everything
for the kit in the front.
In the back, simple blocks and shocks in the back.
As you can see,
it's just remove and replace the factory blocks
with the new larger blocks and the new u-bolts.
3 1/2 inch kit, these are pretty simple
nothing too crazy about 'em.
It's a good size kit that's pretty popular
and this is the one that I like
better than the Rough Country one because
of the ball joint angle on those new control arms
is a lot better on the Superlift than the Rough Country kit.
Alright, so that's gonna finish up the 3 1/2 inch
Superlift on this Chevy 1500 here.
We're gonna go ahead and get this thing back on he ground.
We gotta go get it aligned and get it to the customer.

BREAKING NEWS!! Cops Around The Nation On HIGH ALERT After Shocking Discovery! - Duration: 5:01.
BREAKING NEWS!!
Cops Around The Nation On HIGH ALERT After Shocking Discovery!
First responders go through a lot in an effort to keep us safe.
From the police officers who put themselves in between innocent civilians and the bullets
of lawbreakers to the firefighters who literally run into the flames to save perfect strangers,
many of us owe our lives to these brave men and women, and some of us may not even realize
it.
We owe them every bit of respect and honor that we can muster.
But not everyone views it that way; unfortunately the criminals, and those who sympathize with
them, consider themselves to be at odds with law enforcement and really anyone wearing
a uniform.
They point to the rare cases when a cop goes bad, or a snap judgment goes the wrong way,
and say that the entire legal system is stacked against them.
Anyone who believes that law enforcement is out to get them is probably living the kind
of life that makes it true.
If they are chronic lawbreakers and have put themselves at odds with those who keep the
peace, they should expect that their days might be disrupted by any run-ins with police.
That's how it should be, and it's what keeps crime down.
Things go bad though when these reprobates decide to make a preemptive strike and harm
the unsuspecting officers.
LEO Affairs reports that there is a sick new trick that those opposed to law and justice
have been playing on officers in Kansas.
Instead of going after them while they're wearing the uniform, they've been loosening
the tires on their vehicles so that they are likely to be involved in an accident on their
way home:
"Kaitlyn Alanis The Wichita Eagle
The Ellsworth Police Department is warning community members about loose lug nuts on
vehicles within and outside city limits.
The department has received several calls over the last few weeks regarding loose lug
nuts on vehicles in addition to reports of tires coming off while vehicles are in motion.
Lug nuts are used to secure tires on vehicles.
'So far about the only common theme on the vehicles involved have been, the owners are
first responders (law enforcement, fire and EMS),' the department posted on Facebook.
'No City or County vehicles have been found with loose lug nuts but their personal vehicles
or family members vehicles have.'
No injuries have been reported, but vehicles have been damaged.
'I urge anyone reading this statement to check the lug nuts on their vehicle,' Chief
Emil Halfhill posted.
'If you're unable to personally check them have someone do it for you.
'I also have a message for those involved in loosening the lug nuts,' Halfhill continued.
'It may seem like a funny or minor thing to do.
But when we find you, you can and will be charged with any damage caused by your mischievous
behavior and also take note if anyone is injured as a result you will be charged with that
as well.'
If your vehicle's lug nuts are loose and you live in the Ellsworth area, Halfhill said
to call dispatch at 785-472-4416 and ask to speak with an officer."
There's little that would bring down the full fury of law enforcement more than going
after one of their own, and doing it while they're trying to make it home safely to
their family is an even bigger offense.
Anyone involved in this should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves, and fear for their
future, as soon as local police find out who is responsible.
Here's the Facebook post in its entirety:
"URGENT SAFETY NOTICE.
The Ellsworth Police Department has taken a few calls over the last few weeks regarding
loose lug nuts found on vehicles.
These vehicles have belonged to citizens both within the City limits of Ellsworth and outside.
There have also been reports of wheels coming off of vehicles while in motion.
To date no injuries have been reported, however, damage has occurred to the vehicles as a result.
So far about the only common theme on the vehicles involved have been, the owners are
first responders (law enforcement, fire, and EMS).
No City or County vehicles have been found with loose lug nuts but their personal vehicles
or family members vehicles have.
I urge anyone reading this statement to check the lug nuts on their vehicle.
If you're unable to personally check them have someone do it for you.
I also have a message for those involved in loosening the lug nuts.
It may seem like a funny or minor thing to do.
But when we find you, you can and will be charged with any damage caused by your mischievous
behavior and also take note if anyone is injured as a result you will be charged with that
as well.
If you find your lug nuts are loose please contact dispatch at 785-472-4416 to speak
with an officer about the incident.
Chief Halfhill."

Jaws 3D: Review - Duration: 6:17.
Welcome back to my Dark Corner of this Sick World.
'Oh my God'
I've always steered clear of the Jaws sequels but, you know what? Jaws 2 isn't a catastrophe,
so I am watching Jaws 3.
Well this is off to bad start.
Here's the basic theory behind all 3D
'Just throw it in my eyes, it'll work faster'
After the 3D.
The biggest problem with this film is its not Jaws.
'Is the film okay?'
Jaws is famously a film about a giant killer shark that's not about a giant killer shark, it's about the people
'My fly's open'
Jaws 3D is about a giant killer shark.
Why is it eating a dinghy?
'Oooh!'
The character establishment is reduced to scenes of young lovers playing hilarious pranks,
in which the only thing worth watching, is the water level.
'I'm OK My Brother works here.'
'You Turkeys have any ID?'
'Wait a minute.'
Did the tide go out between shots?!
'What are you serious?'
Now, while this is not Jaws, it is trying to be in all the wrong ways;
subtly established neuroses are replaced with
'Oh I don't go in the water'
Robert Shaw's complex Quint is replaced by Sir Laurence 'I'll be dying later'
'If we can kill this beastie on camera, I can guarantee you media coverage'
Do we have a bureaucrat endangering people's lives for money?
'Listen nephew, that's a two and half million dollar turbine, that's not going to go up in smoke because of some damn fish'
Do we have a head popping up suddenly, making the audiences jump out of their skins.
Actually no, we don't.
'Why do you have to do this?'
That said, the plot is different.
When a killer shark threatens Sea World, marine biologists, gung-ho wildlife photographers and Dennis Quaid…
'Yeah well it's a real thrill'
…team up to catch it alive
'This is nuts'
I'm glad someone said it. They set out…
At night.
Gee I wonder why you didn't see it coming.
Most of the major action sequences take place at night, I assume to hide the inadequacies of the shark model,
which it does.
Kinda. But I can't see what the hell is happening!
Anyway, they catch the shark.
Who could have predicted it would be pissed?
But when things literally go belly up...
It's Mom shows up
'We're talking about some damn Shark's mother?!'
to take revenge on Lea Thompson…
…and some water skiers.
None of whom it manages to kill.
Honestly, all the people who were pissed at Jaws for portraying great white's as man-eaters,
should be delighted by this film, which shows them to be incompetent.
'Mike! Please Mike!'
Well surely it's got her now.
What the hell? Even in daylight I don't know what happened?!
'This film is a bloody retirement annuity'
Well, Joe Alves never directed again so kinda.
'You're enjoying this'
Now, like a lot of crap films - and this is worse than most -
an attempt is made to pull it back by adding a sequence that is simultaneously both cool and terrifying,
something to take away with you, something you'll be talking about for days to come.
It's hard to think of another film where that desire went this badly wrong.
Right away, that is a horrible shot.
And yet somehow the people in slow motion are worse.
But then…
I'd like to believe there was a moment in editing when they watched this and someone said,
well we can't save it now, let's make the ending even dumber.
So, as mommy shark attacks our heroes,
they notice she still has her previous meal stuck in her teeth,
fortuitously grasping a grenade.
I'd have to check, but I'd guess relatively few animals on film are defeated by inadequate dental hygiene.
If only she'd flossed. Who'd have thought Jaws would have a subliminal message from the dental association.
Particularly given its less subtle product placement.
'Always Coca Cola'
Okay, listen up.
I've learnt my lesson. No more Jaws sequels, certainly not ones that feature revenge.

What is about the number 3 that makes people want to add D after it?
But let's not be negative, what 3D films have you actually enjoyed? Let us know in the comments below.

Donald Glover Signs New Deal with RCA for 'Next Phase' of Childish Gambino - Duration: 1:31.
Hey guys for Complex News, I'm Natasha Martinez.
//// It looks like there is still time to call Donald Glover 'Childish Gambino.'
Despite the artist hinting that the moniker was close to being retired, Glover signed
a fresh deal with RCA Records to release new music for what's being called the next phase.
According to a statement from RCA CEO Peter Edge to Variety on Monday, the deal which
is a partnership between RCA and Glover's agency/label Wold + Rothstein, will segue
the next phase of Gambino.
Glover himself says that this transition was a necessary change of pace for him.
Variety reports that new Gambino music is expected at some point this year but a source
close to Glover clarified to Complex that his 2018 schedule is still being locked down.
With multiple projects currently in motion, the source suggests we may not get new music
until 2019 the earliest.
One of his many highly anticipated projects this year is season 2 of Glover's FX series
Atlanta which kicks off on March 1st.
During an interview with the Huffington Post, the artist expressed fear that his continuation
of Gambino combined with his work in Atlanta "wouldn't be punk."
But him signing to RCA seems like he put those fears to rest.
Glover's deal follows his massive ongoing success of his 2016 album Awaken, My Love!
which is up for Album of the Year at this week's Grammy Awards.
His single Redbone is also up for Record of the Year and Best R&B Song.

Dark Side of Being an Empath That You Rarely See - Duration: 4:54.
The Dark Side of Being an Empath That You Rarely See
Empaths are typically known as the healers of the world.
They're the people whose senses are heightened, the ones that not only see the different energies
of the world, but actually feel them, experience them.
Those who are not empaths might think that this ability to feel what others feel is a
gift, but if you can convince an empath to talk about their gift,
they might tell you that it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
In fact, it's quite often not a very fun gift to possess at all.
Because of their gift, so many people rely on them for support.
Empaths are almost always trusted because they make people feel safe.
And while the empath is capable of handling the emotions of others, they also experience
quite a bit of stress because of it.
The dark side of being an empath comes in the form of having two conflicting voices
constantly roaring at each other inside of their heads.
Constantly feeling both the good and the bad, the negative and the positive, to the point
that they feel overwhelmed.
Empaths are more susceptible to the negative energies in life.
Their intense ability to feel can't get away from the deep-rooted evils that exist
in the world.
Their deep understanding of how the world exists and operates is enough to confuse and
sadden them.
What they can't understand is why this type of energy exists in the first place, if all
it does is hurt others.
The dark side of being an empath is constantly being exhausted and fatigued from the energies
you absorb.
But, you'd never know it.
Because the empath never dares break down or lose composure.
They quietly observe, acknowledge and feel.
As many others do, empaths want to be loved and accepted for who they are.
But, it is their generosity and kindness that often sees them being taken advantage of by
those who only take, never give.
Empaths are 'givers' by all means, ready to show kindness to those in need at all times.
The dark side of being an empath is not knowing that being so selfless places an incredibly
heavy burden on one's self.
Even the empaths that do recognize the burdensome nature of their selflessness often choose
to ignore it, because carrying that weight is more meaningful
than letting it fall on someone else's shoulders.
The dark side of being an empath is knowing that you willingly neglect both your body
and mind for the sake of others.
A neglect that builds over the years, eventually resulting in the need to go soul, searching
once again, a practice that we only take up when we feel completely lost.
The dark side of being an empath is knowing that even when they fall in love, they never
do so entirely.
They simply aren't capable of giving every ounce of their heart to someone else.
They know that if they tried, the intensity of the passion would most likely be too much
to handle, for themselves and their partners.
Which is why they always keep a little part of them hidden away from the rest of the world.
They keep a guard up out of necessity, even if they want nothing more than to let it down
and succumb to an overwhelming love.
The dark side of being an empath is the war that is always being waged within.
The war they wage against the sadness, the darkness, and the sorrowful side of themselves
that is always trying to rear its ugly head and lead them into self-destruction.
The only way they can fight this successfully is by learning to distinguish between emotions
that are their own, and emotional energies that are imposters,
invading from the outside.
Empaths need people who understand who they are, people they can talk to and who will
listen.
Empaths need to be able to let down the wall they've built up around their feelings so
that they can let their empathic selves do good in their own life.
Otherwise, empaths are destined to fight a war within themselves that never ends.
So, that's the dark side of being an empath that you rarely see, what do you think about
an empaths?

Let's Play Paper Sorcerer Part 1 — Everything's so flammable! — Yahweasel - Duration: 21:35.
Hello, this is Yahweasel!
Let's Paper Sorcerer!
So, very brief explanation, some background: I played this, I think, on Random Game Weekly,
which is a show I have where weekly I play a random game—it's a complicated concept,
but if you're not familiar with it, hopefully you can figure it out from the name—anyway,
I played this on Random Game Weekly.
It was quite well liked.
I am now starting from scratch, I've deleted my save file, so we're gonna, we're gonna
see Paper Sorcerer from the beginning, but I am somewhat spoiled to it because I played
just an itty-bitty bit of it.
Oh dear!
Hmm!
What level of difficulty do we want?
Oh no!
Chat, what level of diffic–
Oh, by the way, for those watching the video: this is filmed in front of a live studio audience.
Chat, what level of difficulty do we want?
Given that normal is the only real option.
OK, shockingly, cancel is– err, cancel, yes, cancel is the most popular level of difficulty.
I would like the difficulty level "nah, never mind".
There's, there's no agreement amongst the people about what level of difficulty I should
go with, giant shock I'm sure, but normal, hard and 1980s are all popular, so I'm gonna
go with normal, deal with it!
Once, there was a sorcerer who lived in a tower with an apprentice.
The sorcerer terrorized the land with evil minions until one way WHOAH WHOAH AT NIGHT
HOWEVER LIGHTS COULD STILL BE SEEN BURNING IN THE WINDOWS OF THE DARK TOWER, geez that
goes a little bit fast!
The King saw this was a chance to attack the sorcerer directly... with bits of paper!
And baubles!
The artefact that would seal away the sorcerer, ending this reign of terror once and for all,
I think I missed a line there!
On the way, the group traversed dark caves, poisonous marshes and ancient ruins!
They climbed the dark floor– the dark tower floor-by-floor, beset by evil minions at every
step!
Once they reached the top, they confronted the sorcerer and activated the artifact.
In a blinding flash of light, the sor– sor– well, bye.
However, that is just the beginning of our tale!
Ooh, slowly moving text.
That's actually a really good effect.
It just very, very slowly slides on the screen.
"You awakened with a start, reflexively trying to cast a spell that dies in your throat when
you see your surroundings."
Double spaced for some unknowable reason.
"The last thing you remember was fighting four of the King's lapdogs."
"Banan– banana-nah [sings]"
Anybody who's in my discord chat knows that there's a joke related to that.
"Banan the warrior."
"[Incomprehensible mumbling in attempt to pronounce this name] the Ranger."
"Akimi the mage,"
"And Yaw...
Yahweasel the priest!"
Yes!
"They had a book that glowed with a fearsome light."
"You aren't the type to be easily scared, but as you looked into that light you felt
truly terrified, like you never had before."
"Commas are for losers!"
"But you have all your arms, legs, fingers and senses intact, so things could always
be worse."
"In checking to make sure you're intact, you confirmed that you are a man woman!"
Yes, yes I am a man woman!
Uh, man, fine.
"The first thing you figure you should do is find out where you are."
"Use WASD to move, look around with the mouse, click on things to interact with them!"
And indeed, this is a surprising 3D game, with not a lot of stuff going on.
"To advance dialog, press the spacebar or click the next button."
"To open the menu press M or escape."
"In the upper right corner an–"
Why is it double spaced?!
I'm not gonna be putting notes in between here!
I mean, I will be making notes on the grammar, but I don't need space in the actual text
to write my notes!
"The upper right corner an option to search will occasionally appear."
"Press the spacebar to search an area."
"This can give you additional details about a room, and sometimes reveal secrets."
So press space to search areas.
"You feel some kind of subtle force in this room."
"It's making it difficult to concentrate, and your head feels all fuzzy."
"You can slowly feel your magic seeping away, along with your will to stand, escape or do
anything that doesn't involve lying down."
"Whatever kind of magic this is, it's truly insidious."
"You feel yourself nodding off already."
"You should probably lie down before you hurt yourself."
Nah, not gonna!
That not investigable?
Nope.
Not investigable.
Leap out the window!
Okay, fine.
"Even though you've only been conscious for a short amount of time, you feel extremely
tired."
"Do you want to rest?"
Yes, absolutely!
"It doesn't take long before you feel yourself slipping into a deep sleep."
"Right before you begin to slumber, however, missing comma, you have the distinct impression
you're being watched."
"You have a dream where you're talking with some friends you had when you were younger,
but the room you're talking in is unfamiliar, with plain stone walls and a table with several
bags in it."
"When you open the bag in the center, a snake jumps out and slithers out of the room."
"When you awaken, missing comma, there's a mouse sitting on the end of your bed, staring
at you."
"You're an interesting one!"
"A sorcerer, that's some dark magic."
"Binding souls and calling them when needed, that can be a dangerous power!"
"Dangerous, but useful!"
"What do you want?!"
"I've been waiting for someone like you."
"I would like to escape, and I think you can help me."
"Right now, you have been sealed inside a prison, of sorts."
"The king has been trapping threats to the kingdom here for decades."
"I think I know a way to escape, but I can't do it alone, and a sorcerer like you is just
what I need!"
"If you would be willing to help me, I would be able to ensure we both get out!"
Uh, I don't know how much I trust a talking mouse.
"Very well, feel free to rot in here."
"This is your last chance, I won't be back; will you help me?"
Gee, it's my last chance, and conveniently I have no actual choice in the matter!
"Very well."
"Excellent, the first thing you need to do is get out of this cellblock."
"Suddenly, a burst of intense magic energy– uh, intense magic energy fills the room."
"The oppressive force that was draining your magic is gone, as is the mouse, who exploded
into magic energy."
"You hear a whispering voice in your mind: 'I will find you again soon!'"
Mmm!
Ah, that was not a window, that was a door, and I can escape, and it was a magical explosive
mouse!
Magical explosive mouse!
"You can feel some of your power returning."
"You may summon one of your former thralls to aid in your escape."
"Choose wisely, they will function at your party for the rest of your adventures here."
Oh, yep, yep, yep, we're here.
Heyyyyyyyy... chat.
Any thoughts?
Who should I, who should I make my thrall?
I got a few suggestions, no real agreement.
So, there will be, there will be further thralls joining us later, as I recall, so I would
rather go with something that's pretty disastrous, like dangerous here, I would go with the powerful
Berserker at this point, and something else later.
The other suggestion was "Shadow: unpredictable but powerful magic attacks."
So, maybe I want something that's a fairly, sort of, uh, sort of reliable damage dealer,
for the moment.
Like, the Minotaur was the other suggestion.
And then, we'll do something stranger later.
But I might, after Minotaur, want something defensive.
"The Minotaur, a savage berserker, uses brute force to cause severe damage to the enemy
ranks."
"The Minotaur is amongst the most damaging character available, thanks to powerful axes
and the fastest strength growth in the game."
"Additionally, while he can only wear light armor, he boasts some of the highest HP growth
as well."
"Example skills: wild swing, causes an increased melee damage to all enemies."
"Rending strike: severe damage to one enemy's defense."
"Axes, light armor and one accessory."
Yep, we're gonna go with the Minotaur, let's not read through everything at this point.
"The Minotaur has been summoned, use him well."
Plus zero HP, good for me!
"As soon as you pass through the doorway, you see a single guard barreling down the
hallway towards you."
"Unfortunately, we couldn't be bothered to animate that barreling down."
"Hey you, how'd you get out of your cell?!"
"What do you do?"
Let's, let's have a chat!
"In the nicest tone possible, you call out to him 'the door just kind of opened by itself!'"
"In response, the guard brandishes his mace and continues his charge."
"You can tell by the look on his face, he's the kind of man who's got something to prove."
"Combat is turn-based!"
"Select the option you want with the mouse."
"Right-click to back out of any menu, or spacebar could be used to quickly select basic attack."
"Energy is used when performing skills, and regenerates at a rate of 1 per round."
"Energy not used in combat can be used outside of battle for healing skills and the like."
"To do this, go to the skills section of the menu."
Small dice icon... how many turns that skill takes to recharge, so they have timing recharge,
turn recharge.
"For example, a 3 means that skill takes 3 turns to recharge."
"To see these messages again, go to the info section the menu."
Oh, I remember this music!
Okay, so, sorcerer himself... ah, this is the Minotaur who's fighting.
Okay, this is slightly too loud, let me turn down my volume.
There we go.
Minotaur should obviously just attack, but let's check what the skills are.
I mean, there's no reason not to do these skills, really, because they'll recharge in
3 turns anyway, which means they'll be...
Yeah, OK.
Brutal strike!
Kill the guard!
Kill him!
Just attack, sorcerer.
Well actually, let's see what skills I have.
Black bolt!
Yeah, okay that only takes one turn to recharge, so I may as well use it.
Brutal strike!
Ca-thwack!
He's still alive, how dare he!
Only one HP to the Minotaur, amazing.
I do like the art style in this game.
Well really, I like any art style that just tries, that does something different.
Five gems, 100 XP gained.
Expee is apparently how I'm going to pronounce that!
Well, we're out!
"The door is sealed and won't open."
"You feel an overwhelming presence from the other side of the door, so powerful you start
to get a headache."
Okay, so probably don't want to free whatever that is.
"The door is sealed."
"No sounds come from inside."
"You hear no sounds from the other side!"
"You hear some kind of strange barking sound from the other side."
"Whatever is on the other side of the door, you're reasonably—YOUR—MY reasonably sure
it's not human."
"The door is sealed and won't open."
"On the other side, you hear the sounds of loud snoring."
"From the other side, you hear a series of unintelligible screams."
"You get the sickening feeling of some inhuman intelligence trying to probe your mind."
Okay, really not friendly folks here, but whatever.
Let's continue to escape the dark tower, or whatever the heck it is that we found ourselves
in!
Hello, you.
It's, uh, it's a lunch.
It's a lunch conveniently boxed up to go!
The small chest is locked.
Uh, well if I try and open it...
It won't open, due to the lock, thank you!
Yeah, I mean, I doubt I have a key.
Can I just, like, bash it up?
Can I just, like, bash it up?
Uh, the lock looks a little plain...
I mean, I didn't really decide to leave the chest alone.
What might a ring like this be used for?
Just examining, seeing if I can find the key.
I don't really see anything that looks like the key.
There's two doors here.
"A pair of guards are standing around murmuring."
"We couldn't be bothered to actually show them in the game."
"As soon as you enter, they turn to face you, and we've just comma split, should have used
a semicolon."
"The shocked look on their faces is absolutely priceless, period, however, comma, they quickly
regain their composure and rush in to attack."
"Really needed a copy editor."
"Other than HP and energy, there is– comma, there is one other thing you need to keep
track of in combat."
"Def is a character's defense."
"It's subtracted from any damage inflicted."
For example, if a guard attacks you for 10 damage and you have four defense, then you
get six points, right, six points of damage, fine.
Which is odd.
It's perfectly linear, that's a really odd way to do defense, but okay.
Uh, if an attack causes zero damage, it's because the target's defense is higher the
damage caused, fine.
More information in the info section.
Fight!
Okie-dokie.
He has some skill that attacks...
Oh.
Do the turns continue outside of battle?
Because it did say something to suggest they might continue outside of battle.
Hmm.
Curious.
He can do this.
Yeah, I think the energy is retained between battles, interestingly.
Maybe if I rest then it'll reset?
So you actually have to worry about the reset timer of skills BETWEEN battles.
Hmm, curiouser and curiouser!
Yeah, 'cause my energy went up just now.
Yep, yep yep yep yep.
That's very interesting.
That's very interesting indeed.
Right, and now I have enough– yeah, this is energy two, I have enough to do that, okay.
So the energy, indeed, is consistent from battle to battle, it doesn't just automatically
reset at the beginning of the–
Doesn't reset.
Uh, it doesn't reset between battles, there we go.
That attacks all enemies, so it's a bit wasteful against only one, but hey, I'm just having
fun at this point!
And he explodes!
So unnecessary!
Ten gems, three wooden coin... s, one basic tough rune +10 hp, 200 exp.
Superb.
Okay, what is search telling me there?
[Idonno Yahweasel, maybe if you'd paid attention in the first two minutes of the game?]
Oh, nope, nope, nope, nope, let's not go to the next level just yet, because I'm betting
that the key to this thing is–
Oh, hello, I didn't even notice that!
"Inside the chest is a veritable armory, however, comma, their quality is dubious at best, and
you get the impression they were either being sent for repairs or to get scrapped."
You find a worthless iron staff, a shameful iron axe, a worn iron dagger, a junky long
sword, a dented iron mace, a shoddy great sword, a rusty iron chain, a makeshift warhammer,
a more poorly made katar, and an assortment of old rags to drape yourself in.
Make sure to equip your character with some basic gear!
M or escape to equip your characters, look at their stats and so on, yeah, yeah, go into
the menu.
Q and E to cycle between characters.
Equipment, sorcerer, okay.
So, can I give him a better weapon than he has?
What does he currently have?
Does it... does it show me?
Equipment, value...
Okay.
One second here!
Okay, so it looks like the staff increases magic, unsurprisingly, the rest are kind of
obvious from what it– oh yeah, in fact it shows it all there.
So, this being the sorcerer, I'm gonna give him the the staff.
I like that his ears are just replaced by ear horns, that's cool.
The Berserker, can we actually– yeah, we can give him the iron axe.
It's a shameful iron axe, but better than nothing I guess!
Oh, yeah, yeah, I didn't...
Wait, what?
No, actually use–
Oh, I have to click it again.
Okay, now I get it, now I get it.
There we go.
Give him the rags.
He needs the HP more than my Berserker does.
Now I don't think I really have anything left.
Oh.
There were more rags, plenty of rags for everybody!
No runes available, no accessories, fine.
Okay.
Ooh, but he didn't heal those extra HP he just got!
Curiouser and curiouser!
Can... uh... hello?
Did... did that actually...
Oh, what?
Okay, there was a... it didn't quite show.
Whatever, I think it did save!
Hmm.
Okay, so can I rest?
Can I gain back that HP?
Let's see if I can just rest in my cell.
[Laughs]
That's a wise thing to do when you've just broken out of prison!
"I broke out of prison, but I am so tired!"
Nope, can't rest, okay!
You walk slightly slow.
"Hello?"
"I'm here to murder!"
Oh, hello!
Ah, we found the guard's secret stash!
Ah, there's the plain key.
A book titled "the peaceful path: learning to put banditry behind you".
Of course I'll take it, are you kidding me!
"You decide you should steal the book about learning not to steal."
That's me!
Found one broom.
Found one mop.
Notice this bed is particularly tiny.
Uhh, open the bed?
"With great trepidation, you pull the covers back to reveal... nothing, except the smell
that reminds you of freshly cut grass."
"It's quite pleasant, weirdly."
Examine harder?
Okay.
Oh, I found a small dusty box under, with a small wooden idol in it!
Carved to resemble a rotund female goblin.
Of course I take it, I steal everything!
Hmm, I doubt I can use an item on it.
Yep, okay.
Thank you.
"You decide you've had enough of a diminutive furniture for one day."
Okay.
But, I got the key, and the key almost certainly goes right here.
Yes, use the plain key.
"You unlock the chest with the plain key."
"The click sound it makes is quite satisfying."
The lock is now open!
Well then let's open it up!
Four restoration crystals.
Restoration crystals are very important items in hard and 1980s difficulty.
Aside from a few high-level skills, restoration crystals are the only way to revive dead characters.
Well, luckily, I'm not in that level of difficulty!
They restore HP as well as resurrect the dead, so you should always make sure you have a
couple on hand.
Okay, so that's, that's my restorative item, is the long story short.
Is that an interactive thing?
No, I guess that's just a light.
But let's continue on to the next level next time!
Until then thanks for watching, if you like the video I've got thousands more—thousands
more!—until then thanks for watching, if you like...
I just repeated myself.
I've got thousand more, cheers from Yahweasel!

Dan Roam | Innovative Design Using Visual Thinking | Singularity University - Duration: 11:48.
(music)
- Dan Roam draws for a living.
He's not an artist.
He's a management consultant who uses visual thinking
to make complicated ideas simple.
And that simplicity facilitates effective communication,
problem solving and innovation.
His books such as Back of the Napkin
and Draw to Win explain how anyone can use visual thinking.
(funky music)
- When we talk about visual thinking,
I mean something very specific.
I mean intentionally taking advantage of our visual system,
so our eyes, our optic nerve,
our mind's eye, our visual neocortex.
This incredible mechanism that we have in our heads
to help us visually see the world,
intentionally taking advantage of that
in order to see things in the world
that would've been invisible if we were just talking.
And then by virtually being able to see them,
taking kind of the underlying shapes of these ideas
and just drawing out simple little pictures
that clarify what's already in our own mind.
And then the beauty of it is,
I've created this picture of my idea
and now I have a picture that I can show you,
effectively guaranteeing that you're going
to see the same thing as I am
because we're looking at the same picture.
It's powerful, it's miraculous.
It's really cool.
- So in your first book, The Back of the Napkin
you talk about how simple pictures
can help us solve complex problems.
How does visual thinking help problem solving?
- Well, Lisa, if you think about problems.
You know, life is complicated.
Especially if you're in the business world.
Every time we look at a new challenge,
it looks very, very complex.
It's like this kind of conceptual plate of spaghetti.
So what visual thinking helps us do
is break down what appears to be
an overwhelmingly complex initial situation
and then tear it down into its underlying visual elements.
What are the pieces that actually make up this problem?
And since we're using our visual mind
and we're trying to break this complexity
down into these pictures, we can actually see it.
And you know, people often talk about
the simplicity that's on the other side of complexity.
I have found no better way to get to that simplicity
than simply to draw things out.
So let's say that this circle represents
our brain, our visual engine.
And we're going to divide it up into six slices
because it turns out that the way
vision actually works is dividing the world up
into six different types of information.
And one of those is going to be, who and what.
Another one of those is going to be, how much.
Another one of those is going to be, where.
Another one is going to be, when does it happen.
Does this not sound familiar?
This is kind of the six W's all over again.
Another one is how.
And then we'll end up with why
and what our visual engine does
is it looks at something.
You know we look at it.
And then it says okay, I'm looking for
the people and the things.
And then I'm going to look for how many of them there are.
And then I'm going to look for their location
and then their sequence and then
the flow of how they work
and then I'm going to come up with a solution at the end.
So all we do to be good visual thinkers
is just to draw our pictures around this circle.
So we talk about who we're going to draw,
some little stick figures.
We talk about what we're going to draw,
like some little icons or something.
And then we go into how much, okay?
So now we're going to draw ourselves a little chart
that quantifies our numbers.
Then we're going to say okay so where are they?
And we're going to draw a little map right here
that says, well some of the characters are over here
and some are over here and there's
a great distance between them.
And that might be a problem.
And then we'll say okay, when do they work?
What's the sequence in which they're taking place?
Well, we have our first thing here
and our next thing here and our next thing over here.
And then we're going to say okay, well how
does this all work?
Well, these things interact like this
which causes this to happen.
Maybe they go over here, maybe they come back here.
And then our last picture is what's the big a-ha?
What do I now know that's going to make me really happy?
When I talk about drawing,
when I talk about visual thinking,
I'm not talking about this as an artistic process.
We're talking about this as a thinking process.
So here's what happens, often when
we're talking about a problem.
We use our words actually, unintentionally
in many cases, to actually sort of obfuscate
what the real problem is.
You can't do that with pictures anymore.
When you draw out, and it doesn't matter
how artistically beautiful they are.
In fact often, the uglier, the simpler, the goofier
your pictures are, the more power they convey
because they get to the essence of the idea.
And when you draw those things out,
everybody looks at it and says,
I'm seeing the same thing.
You can't really lie anymore,
you can't hide the truth anymore.
It comes out.
And that's what is so powerful about this.
- Can you give us an example of a particularly
complex problem that you helped clarify in pictures?
- I have a story that is just one of my favorites.
So, you will remember not so many years ago
we started to talk about healthcare reform.
We just started.
And this is a conversation that obviously
is going to go on for a long, long time.
But what I found really kind of upsetting
about the whole conversation
about healthcare reform years ago,
was depending on which news service you listened to,
some people were saying, oh this is horrible,
this is terrible.
And other people were saying,
oh healthcare reform is the greatest thing.
And I thought, well wait a minute.
If they're both reading from the same law,
how is it possible that you get such
wildly, different interpretations?
And I thought, well let's put these pictures to work.
So myself and some colleagues, who actually
do know about the healthcare system
in the United States and about the law,
we locked ourselves in a room for 3 days
and we drew a series of 46 little pictures
trying to explain the Affordable Care Act.
Its underlying idea, its genesis,
what did it actually mean,
what was the outcome etcetera.
And we were successful.
And it took us this series of pictures
which we could then look at
and say, oh now I get it.
So I took those pictures
and I put them in a PowerPoint
and I uploaded it to LinkedIn.
This is a few years ago now.
Slideshare.
And an amazing thing happened
because within a couple of weeks,
hundreds of thousands of people had downloaded this.
And then the Huffington Post picked up on it
and they said, oh look someone's trying to explain
healthcare with these drawings on the back of a napkin.
What's very funny, is that the Huffington Post
actually put it in their comedy section
which I found kind of ironic
because I actually meant it seriously.
But then it goes crazy because now we're getting
millions of views and downloads and comments.
So I'm sitting in my office in San Francisco
thinking I'm so cool, I drew pictures
that help explain healthcare and then I got
a call from a producer in Fox News in New York
who said to me, hey Dan, since you're clearly
one of America's leading thinkers on healthcare reform
would you come on air on Fox News
and explain to our viewers with your pictures
what healthcare reform is all about?
And I'm thinking, Fox News, you bet, I'm there!
Because who needs to know better
than some of your viewers.
So they put me on, they flew me out to New York
and it was incredible.
So 5:30 pm Eastern Standard time,
we got on the Fox business channel
and they gave me, it was crazy.
7 minutes of live time on television
to go through the first set of pictures.
And it was really cool.
And as I was flying home, I was thinking
look at the power of pictures.
Look at me, this is so awesome.
The guy who drew the pictures gets on television
and all of this and then I go back to my office
and the next day I get another call.
And this time the voice on the phone says,
Dan, this is the White House Office of Communications.
We would like to invite you in to show us
how did you do that?
And so I, twice had an opportunity to go to the White House
Office of Communications and give the folks there
some examples and tools that they might use
to be able to more visually explain
some complex issues around economics,
or healthcare reform etcetera.
And it was so cool.
And I think, to this day, it's really
one of my favorite stories because
to be fair, am I really one of America's
leading experts on healthcare reform?
Not so much, I mean, I've learnt a lot along the way.
But who's the guy who's being asked to go on television?
Who's the guy who's being asked to come
to the White House and explain this?
The person who drew the picture
and I think there's no better example than that.
- So if I hear you right, if you're able to draw
the picture that other people can understand,
it will allow you to have a lot more influence.
- The battle today is the battle for attention.
We're all so overwhelmed.
Whether it's online or whether we're in the meeting room,
or whether we're making a pitch.
The battle is for attention.
There are few things you can do
in a meeting room environment,
that give you more authority today
than being the person who goes up to the whiteboard
or the flip chart.
To be the person who takes the pen in hand
and says, wait a minute.
We know we've got this challenge,
let me draw out what the elements of it are.
Magic is going to happen.
You will find that the people in the room,
you've got their attention now.
And you talk about influence.
Not to overstate it, but there's actually almost this
kind of, I guess you could call it cognitive ownership.
If I am the person who has the pen in my hand
and I'm drawing, I own your attention.
Pretty much until the moment that I stop.
So if, subtext here, I've rehearsed my drawing
in anticipation of likely questions
and I can keep that drawing going for a while
and actually get to a point,
I really own the room.
Okay, so two guys are sitting at a bar in Texas
back in 1967, Herb and Rollin
and they're got this little cocktail napkin.
And the two of them are talking about
the realities of Texas.
It's a big state and they're business guys.
And you want to travel from Dallas
over here to Houston, over here to San Antonio
and they draw this triangle just connecting
those three major cities of Texas.
And guess what?
That's the original business plan
of Southwest Airlines run by Rollin King
and Herb Kelleher on the back
of the cocktail napkin, 1967.
And the worlds most successful airline is born
off of that little picture.
And I come from a consulting background,
professional services.
And we used to have this little axiom
that seemed to hold, that myself
or someone on my team would go to every
business pitch that we did and our goal
would be, at some point during the meeting
go up to the front of the room,
take the pen and say if I understand correctly
what this project is really about,
it looks something like this and we would do this.
Every time we did that, we would win the engagement.
We were captivating people's visual mind
and they would say, well if they can do that in the room,
imagine what they can do when we actually start
to solve the problem. It's cool.
- So it sounds like this is also
a really important leadership skill.
I went to business school many years ago.
I spent a lot of time studying numbers, spreadsheets.
I did not spend any time learning
how to draw out my ideas.
Why do you think this is not being taught more?
- When we were children, we drew all of the time.
We pretty much had that beaten out of us
by the time we were in second grade
because someone said, that's a terrible drawing.
Dogs don't look anything like that, I hate that.
That's ugly, you're a terrible drawer,
at which point we never drew again.
Or someone would say, you're so good at that.
You should go into art.
No one ever says you're so good at that drawing,
you should go into business.
So, we get off path.
So if you think about people like Steve Jobs,
if you think about people like Charles Schwab,
if you think about people like Mark Benioff of Salesforce.
Or Angela Ahrendts of Burberry, or
all of these people who are great business leaders.
If you just look below what they did they drew all the time.
Now that's not made public.
So, then on the other side.
If you think about authors,
the best-selling authors of all time.
J.K Rowling, drew everything but somehow
we get to this idea that the visual side
isn't serious and so we kind of purge
it out of our thinking and it's an enormous mistake.

The Time Terror Birds Invaded - Duration: 5:55.
About five million years ago, a new predator arrived in America.
It had made its way from the south, crossing the still-forming Isthmus of Panama and onto
the coastal plains of Texas and then Florida.
The largest of these creatures stood 3 meters tall and weighed 150 kilograms.
And in its old home, it was the uncontested apex predator, armed with all kinds of awesome
adaptations that it used to kill its prey -- sometimes in pretty weird ways.
And this invader wasn't alone.
It was part of one of the biggest mass migrations in Earth's history.
It seemed more than ready to hold its own against North American predators like wild
dogs and sabre-toothed cats.
But one thing set this killer apart -- it wasn't some toothy mammal or ravenous reptile.
It was a giant, flightless, carnivorous bird.
And it came to be known by one of the coolest and most richly earned nicknames in all of
paleontology: the terror bird.
The story of the terror bird invasion actually begins nearly 145 million years ago, at the
start of the Cretaceous Period.
This is when the last remnants of the supercontinent Gondwana -- which would later become Africa
and South America -- went their separate ways.
South America became an island continent, drifting through the ancient ocean while its
inhabitants lived on in isolation.
There were fantastic, gigantic versions of today's armadillos and sloths.
And there were the terror birds, which rose to become the continent's top predator after
the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Over the course of about 60 million years, this group of carnivorous birds -- now known
as Phorusrhacidae -- diversified into as many as 25 different species, ranging in height
from 1 to 3 meters, with a variety of body types and lifestyles to match.
Some species may have been scavengers, but others were definitely predators.
And they were built to kill
They had massive beaks tipped with sharp hooks -- kind of like what you find on modern raptors
-- adapted for delivering powerful stabs and ripping flesh from bone.
Their neck vertebrae also suggest that they could swivel their heads quickly, which would've
helped them track and strike at their prey.
And some had strong, stout leg bones that seemed better suited for kicking than for
running.
Researchers think they could use their powerful legs to crack open the bones of its victims
-- possibly to get to the marrow.
Plus, they had large, curved, compressed claws were perfectly suited for subduing and stabbing
prey.
And unlike most other birds, many of the bones in terror birds' skulls were totally fused
together.
This allowed them to use their own heads as weapons, by basically pecking stuff to death.
Other clues about how terror birds hunted come from birds we know today.
For example, many living predatory birds, like the secretary bird, kill with vicious
kicks.
And terror birds' closest living relatives -- a pair of species that still live in South
America called seriemas -- actually subdue their prey by picking it up and smashing it
against the ground over and over again.
Which is not how I want to go
Since these are the closest living analogues to terror birds, paleontologists think the
extinct giants might have used the same techniques.
And so, yeah: Hence the name!
When fossils of these birds were first discovered in Argentina in the late 1880s, they were
given the rather obscure name Phorusrhacos, which is thought by some to mean "bearer
of scars."
But nearly a hundred years later, in 1978, after having studied these things for decades,
paleontologist Larry Marshall dubbed them "terror birds," which proved to be catchier
and easier to say.
Now, on its home turf, terror birds had plenty of prey to choose from, because most mammals
in South America were herbivores.
But eventually, thanks to continental drift, South America got a new neighbor...
North America.
This process took a long time, of course, but by at least 5 million years ago, a chain
of islands had formed that linked the two continents for the first time.
And land masses weren't the only things on the move.
The meeting of the Americas marked the beginning of what scientists think may have been one
of the greatest exchanges of animal life ever between two continents.
Today it's known as the Great American Biotic Interchange, when animals from both continents
were suddenly free to migrate, bringing into contact all sorts of species that had never
met before.
And a lot of what we know about this phenomenon, we know from the fossils of mammals.
For example, we know that, five million years ago, North America was home to deer, horses,
cats, and bears … but there were also camels, elephants, and tapirs.
And all of these groups moved south.
Meanwhile, in South America, there were marsupials, giant ground sloths, and huge cousins of the
armadillo called glyptodons that moved north.
And in general, the mammals from North America were more successful in the south than the
animals that made the reverse trip.
That's because, other than terror birds, there weren't a lot of large predators in
South America.
So the North American animals -- from mice to canines -- did very well in their new
home, and they diversified like crazy.
In fact, half of the mammal genera living in South America today are descended from
North American immigrants.
But North America had way more big predators than the southern migrants were used to.
So, most animals that moved up from South America didn't last very long.
And this included the terror birds.
We know from fossils that at least one type of terror bird followed its prey north -- Titanis
walleri, one of the largest terror bird species
The earliest evidence of Titanis in the US has been found in Texas, in strata dating
back 5 million years, to the late Paleogene Period.
Which is weird, because scientists think that the land bridge between North and South America
probably wasn't complete until about 3 million years ago.
So, even though they couldn't fly, these giant birds must've somehow managed to float,
or swim, or walk through the shallow waters that connected the islands between the two continents.
From there, Titanis roamed the open, coastal plains, eating anything it could chase down,
kill, and swallow whole.
But in its new home, for the first time, Titanis had to deal with competition from other big
predators -- like sabre-toothed cats and the ancestors of modern wolves.
Then, around the beginning of the Pleistocene Period, the outlook for the terror birds got
even worse, when the climate began to change.
Temperatures grew colder, and glaciers began their march south.
Soon, beset by advancing winters and bigger predators, the last North American Titanis
met its end around 2 million years ago, as the most recent Ice Age started to set in.
So, the invasion of the terror birds turned out to be brief -- less than three million
years.
And because their time here was so short, they didn't leave much evidence behind.
The entire fossil record of Titanis in North America consists of just a few dozen bones
and bone fragments -- mainly of the neck, legs, feet and toes -- found at only four
sites in Florida and one in Texas.
But their migration was just one small wave of the Great American Biotic Interchange,
which turned out to be a crucial chapter in the history of the Americas that changed life
on both continents forever.
In the end, the time when terror birds came to North America is an important reminder of how
big changes can create lots of awesome new opportunities for some of us … while also
creating tremendous pressure to either adapt.
Or disappear.

Watch This First! (Why I'm Listening) - Duration: 3:20.
Oh hi! You're gonna hate the other video that I posted today. Here's the thing.
Sometimes I get into this weird little mood in the late afternoon, and I go to
Twitter to post things. I think this is kind of how the president works, too.
Anyways, I got this idea because I was reading this article about Marina
Abramovic – who is this performance artist – and I recalled that she did this
performance art piece back in 2010 at the MoMA in New York City where she just
sat on a chair, and she stared straight ahead, and she had other people sit in a
chair opposite her and stare into her eyes. And she did this for like seven
hours a day for a couple of weeks. There was lineups for this. There was people
bawling their eyes out because of what they interpreted this to mean. I mean it
had a very huge impact – at least on a small segment of people. And so I thought
that maybe I could replicate (in a very small way) that same feeling here on
YouTube. And I posted this exact thing on the Twitter. I'm gonna read it out here
for you. I'm tempted to upload a video on Monday where I just stare into the
camera for 10 minutes with the title "I'm Listening." is this a bad idea, a good idea,
or the greatest idea? And to my shock a majority of people thought that this was
a thing I should do. I mean 69% (wanky wanky) but still a
majority. And so that's what I'm doing! The other video that I posted is
literally just ten minutes of me not saying anything, staring into a camera. I
had a timer on my watch so it buzzed for me to let me know when the time was
actually over. But I made sure that I was staring straight into the camera the
entire time. I was hoping that it would be me looking empathetic, where you could
tell me anything that you wanted in the entire world. It's just me and you in
the same room, and you're just kind of spilling your guts. To be fair this is an
artsy fartsy thing. It's actually the type of things a lot of people look at
and use as an example to push themselves away from engaging with modern art. But I
still wanted to do it. I wanted to see if it was effective. I want to see if people
would actually watch it. My guess is no. They'll probably stop after a couple of
minutes. But still, an interesting art piece. And with this new YouTube where
I'm losing monetization, who cares? I can try different things. I can try new
things. If you don't like it, come back on Thursday. It will be a cooler video then.
So it's up to you if you want to experience that video or not. I uploaded
it at the exact same time as I did this video. So ... Godspeed
You! Black Emperor ... That's a band. You should listen to it. So let me know what you
think about the art project. Is it a good idea, bad idea, terrible idea? I never do
this again? Always do it? I'm at the whim of the audience who actually chooses to
click on these and watch them. So let me know down in the comments below what you
thought. So I might lose a lot of subscribers over this, but I promise you
I'm usually not this weird. I'm weirder. That's not true. My name is
Kyle. I upload videos every Monday and Thursday. If you want to help out you can
obviously share this video, tell people about it, subscribe to it if you're not
as of yet. If you want to help me in the deepest possible where you can always go
over to my Patreon page and for as little as $1 a month
help support me over there. I guess I just stare at the camera now until you
awkwardly click away. I'll see you on Thursday...

Dark Side of Being an Empath That You Rarely See - Duration: 4:54.
The Dark Side of Being an Empath That You Rarely See
Empaths are typically known as the healers of the world.
They're the people whose senses are heightened, the ones that not only see the different energies
of the world, but actually feel them, experience them.
Those who are not empaths might think that this ability to feel what others feel is a
gift, but if you can convince an empath to talk about their gift,
they might tell you that it's not always sunshine and rainbows.
In fact, it's quite often not a very fun gift to possess at all.
Because of their gift, so many people rely on them for support.
Empaths are almost always trusted because they make people feel safe.
And while the empath is capable of handling the emotions of others, they also experience
quite a bit of stress because of it.
The dark side of being an empath comes in the form of having two conflicting voices
constantly roaring at each other inside of their heads.
Constantly feeling both the good and the bad, the negative and the positive, to the point
that they feel overwhelmed.
Empaths are more susceptible to the negative energies in life.
Their intense ability to feel can't get away from the deep-rooted evils that exist
in the world.
Their deep understanding of how the world exists and operates is enough to confuse and
sadden them.
What they can't understand is why this type of energy exists in the first place, if all
it does is hurt others.
The dark side of being an empath is constantly being exhausted and fatigued from the energies
you absorb.
But, you'd never know it.
Because the empath never dares break down or lose composure.
They quietly observe, acknowledge and feel.
As many others do, empaths want to be loved and accepted for who they are.
But, it is their generosity and kindness that often sees them being taken advantage of by
those who only take, never give.
Empaths are 'givers' by all means, ready to show kindness to those in need at all times.
The dark side of being an empath is not knowing that being so selfless places an incredibly
heavy burden on one's self.
Even the empaths that do recognize the burdensome nature of their selflessness often choose
to ignore it, because carrying that weight is more meaningful
than letting it fall on someone else's shoulders.
The dark side of being an empath is knowing that you willingly neglect both your body
and mind for the sake of others.
A neglect that builds over the years, eventually resulting in the need to go soul, searching
once again, a practice that we only take up when we feel completely lost.
The dark side of being an empath is knowing that even when they fall in love, they never
do so entirely.
They simply aren't capable of giving every ounce of their heart to someone else.
They know that if they tried, the intensity of the passion would most likely be too much
to handle, for themselves and their partners.
Which is why they always keep a little part of them hidden away from the rest of the world.
They keep a guard up out of necessity, even if they want nothing more than to let it down
and succumb to an overwhelming love.
The dark side of being an empath is the war that is always being waged within.
The war they wage against the sadness, the darkness, and the sorrowful side of themselves
that is always trying to rear its ugly head and lead them into self-destruction.
The only way they can fight this successfully is by learning to distinguish between emotions
that are their own, and emotional energies that are imposters,
invading from the outside.
Empaths need people who understand who they are, people they can talk to and who will
listen.
Empaths need to be able to let down the wall they've built up around their feelings so
that they can let their empathic selves do good in their own life.
Otherwise, empaths are destined to fight a war within themselves that never ends.
So, that's the dark side of being an empath that you rarely see, what do you think about
an empaths?

Gay Olympian Issues NASTY Ultimatum To Trump – Gets WORST News Of His Life 24Hrs Later - Duration: 24:56.
Gay Olympian Issues NASTY Ultimatum To Trump – Gets WORST News Of His Life 24Hrs Later
The winter Olympics is just around the corner and we're already learning that the games
aren't going to go happen without being an anti-Trump affair.
These athletes should have taken note of the devastating impact mixing politics with sports
had on the National Football League but instead decided to ruin it for themselves and everyone
else.
Heading off the anti-Trump attacks first was 33-year-old Gold Medalist skier, Lindsey Vonn.
She's since slipped into obscurity but there was someone not far behind willing to take
the disrespectful torch from her in trashing Trump.
Like Vonn, it didn't take long for the gay Olympic ice skater to receive his "prize"
for disrespecting the president.
It's strange how athletes have no problem using Trump to bring attention to themselves
by making such bold public statements, for how much they hate him.
What's even odder, is that they never seem to learn their lesson and can't stop themselves
from slandering him, regardless of the massive ramifications.
The latest "victim" of this stupidity is Adam Rippon, the 2016 U.S. men's figure
skating champion who just got what he earned when he opened his mouth and made a disgusting
public declaration about Trump.
"Members of the US Olympic Team represent our country on the biggest sports stage in
the world, but one athlete says he will not under any circumstance meet the Present or
the Vice President.
Why?
Because he's gay and LGBTers hate America when it's not run by a progressive douche,"
Brian Anderson reported for Downtrend.
"Seriously, this uptight gay athlete is taking something that is supposed to be apolitical
and about competition and sportsmanship and turning into a bitchy Resistance moment."
The athlete flew into a typical liberal temper tantrum for attention.
USA Today reports:
Adam Rippon, the 2016 U.S. men's figure skating champion who is believed to be the
first openly gay U.S. Winter Olympian, criticized the White House's selection of Vice President
Mike Pence to lead the 2018 U.S. Olympic delegation to South Korea in a phone interview with USA
TODAY Sports Tuesday night.
"You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy?
I'm not buying it," said Rippon.
Not buying what?
The fact that Mike Pence is the VP or that he's leading the US Olympic delegation?
Either way, it's a reality.
Another reality is that Mike Pence never "funded" gay conversion therapy, so this guy is as
full of shit as any anti-Trump idiot out there.
Rippon, 28, who was selected to his first Olympic team earlier this month after finishing
fourth at the U.S. national championships, said that he would prefer not to meet Pence
during the traditional meet-and-greet between the official delegation and U.S. athletes
in the hours leading to the opening ceremony.
"If it were before my event, I would absolutely not go out of my way to meet somebody who
I felt has gone out of their way to not only show that they aren't a friend of a gay
person but that they think that they're sick.
I wouldn't go out of my way to meet somebody like that," Rippon said.
It's funny when these people spout off like this thinking they are going to get a standing
ovation and instead come out looking like losers, which was the case with Rippon.
Trump doesn't care if he comes to the White House because the president has far more support
from the American people that this figure skater who lost all that support when he slammed
our leadership.
The most ironic part of it all, is that Trump has actually done more for the gay community
than Barack Obama.
Also, in making these really divisive remarks, he actually proved himself has being totally
intolerant while criticizing Trump for supposedly not being tolerant.
It's such silly irony that only liberals are capable of creating.
However, he wasn't done with his verbal vomit and doubled down with what he said next
that really proved just how crazy he is.
"I don't think he has a real concept of reality.
To stand by some of the things that Donald Trump has said and for Mike Pence to say he's
a devout Christian man is completely contradictory," Rippon added.
"If he's okay with what's being said about people and Americans and foreigners
and about different countries that are being called 'shitholes,' I think he should
really go to church."
Of course Mike Pence is morally against homosexuality as a devout Christian and he does goes to
church, which the skater would have known if he could see past his sequins.
Just because you're morally against something, doesn't mean that you treat people different
or with any less respect, and Pence proves that – Rippon, on the other hand, does not.
"I don't think the current administration represents the values that I was taught growing
up.
Mike Pence doesn't stand for anything that I really believe in," Rippon added just
for sake of sounding like he knew what he was talking about, but proved he does not.
Our current administration absolutely represents everything our country was built upon, those
core values of our Constitution, which this figure skater must have forgotten after eight
years of "leadership" from a president who actually didn't represent the values
of this country.
Just like Vonn alienated herself from a massive fan base of proud Americans who watch sports,
Rippong has now just done the same.
Do these athletes never look at the failures before them and take note of the demise?
They seem perpetually intent on destroying they're reputations instead in their ongoing
quest to destroy Trump's.
