English Winners. If you're moving to an English-speaking country,
you're probably wondering: 'how am I going to get some money to pay for all my
necessities of life?' You know, my food, shelter, water... stuff like that. And
there's many ways to make money, and most of them are probably familiar to you
- working in any other country - but I'm going to go over some terms, just so you
get used to the... vocabulary, okay? So in this video, I'm going to tell you about
the ways people get paid. So the first one is 'Tips'. Tips are very common in
service industries, like being a waiter at a restaurant, or maybe a taxi driver;
of course, it's called a 'fare' then, and it's a little bit more formalized.
Also, delivery drivers rely very heavily on tips. A lot of their money comes from
tips, and... a tip is a voluntary amount of money that a customer chooses
to give the person serving. So, you go to a restaurant, and the waiter brings you
your food. If they do a good job - you know, they bring the right food, they're fast,
they pay attention to your needs - you might give them a big tip. If they're
slow or they don't care... or they don't treat you with respect, maybe you give
them a bad tip... or none at all. That's a lower amount of money. And so, someone who
works for tips does better when they serve a lot of people and they serve
those people very well. And people who rely on tips and make very little money
either don't serve enough people, or the people they serve... they are serving them
very poorly, and the quality is not good. Let's go to the next one. So, the next one
is called 'day labor'. You will see day-laborer most
commonly in places like construction but I've also done some day labor in an
office environment; there's different employment agencies in cities that will
do it. The idea is: you do some work, and then, at
the end of the day, you get paid. It's just one day's work -
one day's pay. Now, this pay may be lower than what you might get at a regular job
that you show up to every day, and it's not as consistent; you don't have five or six
days a week of day labor. It's usually two days here... maybe one day you can't
find anything... three days you're working someplace else. But, day labor is a good
way to bring some money in when you are between jobs. Next one. 'Hourly'. Now hourly
wages are the most common. You get paid an hourly rate - say, $10 an hour, or
$15 an hour - and then that is multiplied by how many hours you're working that
week. And that is your paycheck. And most people who work jobs get paid on an hourly pay
scale. For instance: $15 an hour over two 40-hour work weeks equals about $1,200,
minus taxes, and so it kind of works like that. Next, 'salary'. Now most people in
middle management for higher positions of leadership or even just some regular jobs
it's a salary position. And that means you will get paid the same amount of
money whether you work a lot of hours or fewer
hours. And so someone might work 60 hours one week... they'll get $4,000. They might
work 35 hours the next week... $4,000. A lot of contract work for Road
cleaning and stuff like that works the same way; if there's no snow, they get
paid the same amount as if it snows every day, so that's a salary position.
Let's go to the next one. so the other one is 'Commission'. And... commission is
usually found in sales jobs. So, if you sell something, you get paid but here's the rub:
if you don't sell anything, you don't get paid. So, you can do a LOT of work and still
not make any money. But, if you're very good at selling, or maybe just happen
to find a product people really like, then you can earn more money than what
you'd get in a salary position, or a day laborer, or hourly. So, sales can be a very
good avenue toward becoming wealthy, especially when you're really good at it.
And I recommend everybody at least try it,
and educate themselves to know the basics of selling. Not just to know when
you are being sold to, but to also be better when you persuade other people and
influence them to make decisions. So, the sweet spot, of course, if you're an employee, is Commission
plus salary. That means: if you're having a bad week, you're not going to be hungry,
right? You're still going to get some money, but you're not going to be rich.
You still have to put forward the effort. You still need to generate results.
So, salary plus Commission gives you a little safety, but at the same time
there's that upside where you can get paid a lot and you do really well. In my
opinion, that's the best if you're an employee, and then also, if you're a
business owner, technically it's commission sales. If
nobody buys anything, you don't get paid. So, if you're going into business, get used
to that level of commitment, ok? Let's go to the next form of getting paid.
So, 'bonuses'. Everybody loves bonuses Even in game shows they use the phrase 'bonus
round.' Because it's a good thing, so bonus means
extra money; it can be at the end of a quarter - you know, every 3 months - or at
the end of every year. Now sometimes, these bonuses are given
depending on how well a company does, or how well you - as an individual worker - do.
So, high performance usually means a higher bonus, and lower performance
usually means little to no bonus at all. Now, most places I've worked at don't
offer bonuses, but it's nice to know that some places do and if you can find
that, more power to you. Bonuses are great. 'Capital gains.' Capital gains sounds fancy,
but all it means is: you buy something, and then later you sell it at a higher
price, and that extra money is capital gains. This happens in stock investing... it
can happen in real estate... it can happen on anything that you buy and then sell
at a higher rate. The good thing about capital gains is - in places like America -
usually you get taxed lower. So you pay less taxes and that can be a very good
thing. So, if you can move from being an employee to earning things with capital
gains, that is a step in the right direction if you want to do really well
with your money. But, it takes some education, so you have to educate
yourself. Let's go to the next one. So, 'residual income'; this is common in network
marketing companies. I know Herbalife is very big in some parts of
the world, and Amway is another big one... but there's lots of network marketing
systems, and residual income is just a fancy way of saying commission, but this
commission- the money you get when you sell something - is paid to you every time
somebody continues to order. Sometimes people are on a program where
they'll order something every month, and every time they do, you get paid. It's a
great way to separate the time you put into work from the amount of money you
earn. This creates a situation where you can work a smaller number of hours and
earn a higher amount of money. But this takes inter-personal skills; it takes
knowing how to sell, and it does take a lot of hard work... especially in the
beginning; possibly more hard work in the beginning than a regular salaried
employee might do. So, keep that in mind. But residual income can be very good if
you can get it. So, 'dividends'... Dividends are like a bonus; it's money
paid to you based on performance - usually the performance of a company that you
put money into - that you are investing in. And dividends in publicly traded companies -
in the stock market - usually kick out every three months. So, every business
quarter. Those are good, and can only help you, so dividends are great. If you can
get those, do it. And lastly, this one's more for creatives and inventors - people who
make things - that a lot of people can buy. They're called 'Royalties.' Now, if you
write a book, you can get royalties. If you invent something, you can get royalties.
Maybe you write a song, or make a video that millions of people watch... those earn
royalties. So, you make something and then - if you have the right to earn money from
that (called a copyright) - then, whenever people buy it and you own the right, then
money comes to you. The more people buy, the more entire your royalty check is. That's a
very good way to separate time from money as well. But most inventions do not
sell well. Most songs are not hits, and most books are not best sellers, so you
have to keep that in mind going in. There is a little bit of luck to it, but at the
same time there's a lot of skill, and if you play the numbers, (Play the numbers means:
do the same activity, maybe in slightly different ways,
many many many times) it increases your opportunity to earn royalties. So, that's
the last one. If you liked this video on the ways you can earn money, please

here and a pronunciation one over here, where I am putting out a video on
syllable stresses, and I think you'll like that, so check them out. Until then,

Procedural tools to decorate the Long House valley - Duration: 6:02.
showing some procedural generation tools to modify terrain, terrain texture, and object placement
here's a Unity terrain game object representing the Long House valley, Arizona, US
the elevation data is sourced by the USGS
the process of importing heightmaps is explained in the resources in the description below
we loaded a few textures from the StonyGroundPackage in Unity Asset Store
note that it's a huge terrain. The original data corresponds to a 12x12 km area
The script doing all the work is in another game object, the Terrain Manager
a lot of parameters to tune!
the process takes a bit of time
cactus and pointy rocks from Cactus Pack, cliff rocks from Free Rocks. Both free in unity asset store
In case you're wondering, this is in the Kinbiko Canyon
And no, it's not REALLY filled with dark squared stones and cacti
while running the scene, we can modify the terrain
adding Perlin noise to the heightmap
resetting
smoothing
which randomly sets point heights to be a fraction closer to the neighbours average
resetting again
here's the tool for applying the textures. I'll show you later
We can also erode the terrain by creating paths simulating runoff water
this process takes a while
it iterates for every patch a certain number of origin random points
each origin searching up to 100 points forming a downstream path
this process could also be used to modify terrain textures or place game objects
I'm stopping the recording to save time
Here we go!
the blue lines and spheres are gizmos I'm using to track the position of paths
see how some paths converge just like streams would
I have it set with a very small effect. Observe the changes while I reset to the original heightmap
I zoomed out in the scene view to observe the effects of changing the parameters related to terrain textures
I "commented off" the code that places rocks and cacti as well
this is our default setting
let's change the height level up to which the lowland texture is applied
there are threshold height levels for applying 3 out of 5 textures
the other two correspond to plain or steep slope
we can also change the maximum weight a texture can have in a certain point
that's all folks!

Sunrise on Doi Pha Hom Pok - Thailand's 2nd Highest Mountain - Duration: 14:44.
Good morning!
We're on top of Thailand's 2nd-highest mountain
which is called Doi Pha Hom Pok
2nd only after Doi Inthanon, which is further to the west
And what time is it now?
06:49am
We got up at 3 o'clock this morning
Start to come up at 5
Yeah it took us 2 hours. First trek of the season
completely disorganised
and the car nowhere near where the tent was
So it took us 2 hours to get going
and then about an hour and a half to come up
That was actually Thailand's highest campsite, we were at last night
Just a few people down there because it's a Friday
So we've missed the big crowds, although there are quite a few people here
So we're way up in the north of Thailand near the Myanmar border
The road up that you can see in white
from near the hot springs at Fang
takes you up to 1900m
which is the campsite at Kiew Lom
and then it's a walk up from there to the summit.
That's where we've walked from, down there
and there is actually a cloud inversion
down there but we're way above it
so you can't really see it. But it is there
That'll burn off probably, in an hour or so
And then I assume most of these people were at the same campsite as us last night
but they all left earlier
We just got here in time for the sunrise
Walking in the dark. It was about...
What was it, about 6 degrees this morning?
So not too cold
I thought there'd be some sort of little shrine or something up here
but there's nothing, is there
Only the sign
The signpost. We'll have a look at that then.
Now we're on the summit of Doi Pha Hom Pok 2285m above sea level
What does that say now?
About 13 now
That's the view to the north
We're going to have a bit of a walk that way in a minute
instead of going straight back down
Way over there you can see the cloud inversion, just.
What species is that then?
I don't know. No idea.
Got the obligatory Thai flag at the summit.
Wouldn't be a summit without one.
One, Two...
It's nice and quiet now, isn't it?
Suddenly quiet
We're going to head down in a minute
and try and explore a loop up to the north a bit
and then off down a ridge over there
rather than just go back the same way.
So we'll see how that goes
I guess that answers our questions about whether we could go north.
It's far too overgrown really
So we're just actually going back to the summit
It's very brambly so we keep getting caught up
And we've got a big drop-off down there.
Big drop-off to the side, to the west.
I know, it's kind of clouding over
It's gone a bit strange
What's that doing then?
Shoot that cloud
You've spent the whole morning dropping things
My hands are **** freezing
You can't say that language on family-friendly videos
Very cold. Hands are frozen.
Today I dropped the camera, lens, gloves, pole. Everything dropped.
So having failed to find an alternative route down
we decided to return the same way
and that's actually an official nature trail
laid by the National Park
with lots of information en route about the plants and trees that you can see
Ooh, cherry blossom
Cherry blossom?
Hardly. Only the very beginning of it.
Now we are at number 8. The last sign before the summit.
This point is called Chom Phu Pim Jai (Luculia gratissima). It is the name of a bush.
We have looked but can't find it. The signpost says...
it's a cold-weather plant from the Himalayas, Nepal and Bhutan.
Very rare in Thailand.
We have looked but can't find it.
It will bloom around December to February.
Chom Phu Pim Jai (Luculia gratissima) is a rare flower.
At first I thought it was this tree because it has pink flowers
but sign says the shrub is only 15-20 cm high.
So it's not this
Not this one
Not that one?
(laughter)
I think it's that one but it's not.
Go on. Fall flat on your face for the camera please.
Woah. This bit looks dodgy. Slippy.
Looks like kanun. Like a jackfruit.
It's like fluorescent
It looks highly toxic to me.
Maybe
We'll look it up when we get home.
What's that? Olives?
Olive
I'm not sure.
We're in the jungle.
For sure
Right, keep going
It's better in daylight than the dark hey?
We do a left in a minute. An experimental left.
What are you videoing?
Mushroom
Try eating one
No. Poison!
So there's 8 of these signposts on the way up
marking the way
We're on the way down now and we've got back to number 6
which is telling us about the evergreen forest.
1500m up
have forest like this
High-altitude forest
Big trees like this and get moss
Moss, lichen, orchid, ferns. Something like this.
Moss and lichen
Yes
Sounds about right
It looks like the coffee plants that we saw on Doi Langka Luang
Yeah, but maybe not
What else is it then?
We will find out at home
And now we've got to the viewpoint
which is the 5th signpost on the way up
and it's telling us that over to the west...
is actually Burma, or Myanmar
and I'm not sure which of those 2 ridges it actually starts
but it's not so far away
I don't even know which end the head is.
I think it's this end.
Mon Wat Jai. Doi Pha Hom Pok summit 3000m.
We're just getting back to the camp now.
It's about 11:30 so...
We took our time coming down.
What time did we start?
5:00
So 6.5 hours in all but you could do it in 4 easily
Going up and coming back the same way is fine really
because you can't see anything going up cuz it's dark
so it's like doing a loop anyway.
It works well for a sunrise on the summit.
It would also work pretty well for a sunset
and then walk down in the dark
which would be pretty safe cuz you've already done it once.
Just getting back to the tent now.
These are all the tents that you can hire from the National Park
and this probably gets absolutely rammed on a bank holiday (national holiday)
but it's not too bad now.
Highest campsite in Thailand
Doesn't feel like it somehow.
Been recording this on Wikiloc
so I'll upload the route on there with a few pictures
so that you can follow it if you want to do the same walk
and I'll also put it on a website called Gpsies
G-P-S-I-E-S dot com
Wikiloc & Gpsies. I'll put a link in the description of the video
Had a grill last night
No problem with that.
And looks like we've got one sweet potato left for our lunch
What's for lunch nong Namtarn?
It's breakfast
We have bacon
and eggs
and sausage
Look at that!
Everything tastes better when it's done on a camp stove, right?
Yes
Mmm, yum yum
So we'll see you next time
Hopefully one of the top 10 but...
They're difficult, some of them so we'll see.
Thanks for watching. Bye
