What is fear?

Is it the knowledge and realization of a concept that violates our sense of safety?

On the surface, yes.

Fear is defined as an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is

dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

But what about a phobia?

What about a compulsive disorder?

What about anxiety - or paranoia?

The complexities of fear are a construct that have woven their way into our species and

our expectations of civilization, intrinsic to our DNA - weaved into our very fabric of

existence.

Fear was the soul motivation that made our species so resourceful - so adaptable.

It's why we tell stories of the beastial things that lurk in the shadows of the forest.

It's why we sit around campfires and warn of the things that go bump in the night.

But what if Fear was a creature, in and of itself?

Well - of course, the SCP Foundation has got us covered - so let me introduce you to SCP-2006,

the true meaning of fear.

Hello internet - and welcome back to the most inquisitive channel on YouTube - Life's

Biggest Questions.

As per usual, I'll be your disembodied floating voice Jack Finch - as we curiously ask the

question, What If SCP-2006 Was Real?

Roll the clip.

That footage was from the 1953 - independently made black and white sci-fi horror movie,

Robot Monster - widely considered one of the worst movies ever made.

In it, an all powerful robot alien attempts to destroy the few remaining survivors of

humanity with essentially, stock footage from 1950s creature-feature flicks.

It's funny how that works, isn't it?

But really, when we look at the development of horror cinema throughout the last century

- we find stark similarities with the conceptual function of SCP-2006, and the way that modernity

has encapsulated a halcyon presentation of horror.

Let's dial the theoretical concepts down for a moment though, and take a look at what

this guys all about.

As the record states, SCP-2006 is a Keter class anomalous spherical entity roughly 50

centimeters in diameter when in its default state.

SCP-2006's stated goal is to cause feelings of fear and/or horror in as many humans as

possible.

To accomplish this purpose, 2006 possesses the ability to change its shape, mass, volume,

density, chemical structure, and voice to any form that it desires.

Currently, there is no known way to damage SCP-2006.

The extent of its shapeshifting abilities are unknown, and are currently thought to

be unlimited.

Uh - that's kinda… worrying, right?

It's kind of like if the entire plot of Cabin in the Woods was contained and wrapped

up in one, terrifying package.

Although, the real crux of SCP-2006 is in it's special containment procedures.

It is to be contained at Site 118 in an airtight containment cell, and must be constantly monitored

for all changes in form - because, as we previously stated - it's shapeshifting abilities could

potentially be unlimited.

Strangely enough, all personnel coming into contact with SCP-2006 are required to enroll

in an acting course with a focus on expressing fear and surprise.

Every month, 2006 is to be shown at least one new extremely low-quality horror or science

fiction movie containing horror elements.

Low-quality is the key word there, and it's very important.

All interaction with the entity must confirm that SCP-2006 continues to believe that said

works demonstrate a superb grasp of horror.

And that in itself may be a terrifying prospect for horror aficionados - but nevertheless,

this facade is exactly what's keeping us all safe.

Essentially, it's primary function is to absorb, articulate, and emulate fear - but

thankfully for us, the scariest thing in its current repertoire is 1953's Robot Monster

- which, isn't scary at all.

Sorry Phil Tucker.

But herein lies the real fear of SCP-2006, in its ability to discern precisely what makes

our skin crawl.

Thankfully for us, although tentatively - it's contained within the Foundation - but in this

hypothetical situation, SCP-2006 has gotten out - and instead of the primitive examples

of bad b-movie 1950s horror to work with - it has an entire genre, a world of terrifying

inconsistencies - and over 7 billion fearful human minds to understand the true meaning

of fear.

And as some of you may be aware, there's a lot to be scared of right now.

As Dr. Randall Owings put it, the director of Site 118, explaining in a letter to Foundation

personnel not to become complacent with SCP-2006 -- Imagine if it broke containment and found

out what really scared people.

Imagine if it saw the horror and fear of war, or the concepts of paranoia or phobias common

to each and every human being.

Imagine if it found the true horror of a nuclear holocaust or an XK-Class scenario.

The question that we're really asking isn't What If SCP-2006 Was Real -- it's What If

Our Worst Nightmares Were Real?

Much like how Stephen King's It - through Pennywise the Clown, or the Deadlights for

the horror pedants amongst you, used fear as a myriad of weaponry - so too would SCP-2006.

On that note, you can also count Pennywise the Clown into 2006's horror canon.

Are you scared yet?

We'd have Hellraisers Pinhead, Halloween's Michael Myers.

Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Chucky, The Bride of Chucky, Leatherface, Norman Bates,

Minnie Castevet, Annie Wilkes, The Babadook, The Candyman, Samara Morgan, Jack Torrance,

Dracula, Pazuzu, Black Phillip, freakin Hannibal Lecter.

The Thing - for crying out loud.

The Xenomorph.

The Allied Mastercomputer.

The Child Catcher.

Randall Flagg - who is probably Nyarlathotep - and thus every Lovecraftian entity would

shriek alongside him.

Triangle Head.

Creepers.

Jeepers Creepers and demon Jeeps.

Demon Headmasters.

Demons in general.

All of them.

Hellfire and brimstone.The entire collection and catalogue of horror fiction and fandom

since the dawn of humanity would be alive and writhing across the planet - because we

remembered, and we recorded it, and we made it into a storybook or a blockbuster motion

picture - and SCP-2006 would eat it up like Bruce Bogtrotter eats a chocolate cake.

But who knows, maybe it is real - and it already got out - and all of those horror icons paled

in comparison to what it actually saw.

Who knows -- 2018 was a pretty weird year after all.

Well, there we have it - why don't you let us know your thoughts in the comment section

down below.

Before we depart though, let's read out some of your more creative comments from over

the past few days.

Prince Jordel says -- What if there was no clip?

-- Well, Prince Jordel, that's a real possibility - and that's a fear that I live with on

a day to day basis.

Thankfully, for the most part, there is a clip.

And that makes me happy.

Roll the clip.

JurassicmuffetAdventures Rex says -- What if the asteroids never hit the dinosaur.

-- Uh… there's something about this sentence that's not quite right.

I'm just going to leave this one here… .. hm.

And finally, Super Dog man says -- What if Slappy fought chucky -- and, well, that's

an easy one.

Chucky, hands down.

He'd just have to say Karru marri odonna loma molonu karrano - and it'd be a done

deal.

Or, is it the other way around?

Oh no.

Well - unfortunately folks, I'm gonna have to head off - but cheers for sticking around

all the way until the end.

Top 10 Scary British Superstitions - Duration: 9:10.

Hello and welcome back to The Most Amazing Channel on the internet.

I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am excited to be giving you a little slice

of my homeland as we talk about the Top 10 Scary British Superstitions ! We are a superstitious

bunch us Brits – with thousands of years of history coming up with weird rules to live

by!

Stay tuned, but before we get into the video I want to ask you guys what superstitions

you have in your country.

Let me know your traditions in the comments section down below!

Also while you are down there why don't you hit that thumbs up button and subscribe

if you haven't yet!

Also please do stick around to the end of the video to some responses to your comments

on a previous video.

10 - The Upside-down Horseshoe In the UK, horseshoes are a big symbol of

good luck.

This is for a number of reasons – one being that they are made from iron and forged in

fire which makes them representative of something strong and unbreakable.

Goblins and demons are said to be afraid of iron.

Also, horses don't seem to feel pain when horseshoes are hammered to their feet, which

led many to believe they are magical.

A lot of people hang horseshoes in our outside their homes in the UK, it is also customary

to give a bride a horseshoe on her wedding day.

The two prongs are supposed to collect and store good luck.

Great.

Sure….

But you don't want that horseshoe to invert…..ever.

Conversely, An upside-down horseshoe is terrible luck in Britain – any luck stored would

immediately be poured out and lost.

Others say an upside down horseshoe would attract negativity.

9 - New Shoes on the table Anyone seen Blood Brothers the musical?

I am pretty sure it is the only musical Danny has seen!

Anyway one of the major omens in the musical that foreshadows the death of the twins is

new shoes on the table.

This is a classic British superstition.

Shoes have a lot of superstitions and cultural implications across the world, but in the

UK new shoes on the table is a terrible omen that invites bad luck into your life.

Some people believe it signifies that you will have a fight with someone you love, others

say it is a death omen – which is probably linked to the tradition of placing miners

old shoes on a table in the event of their death at work.

Cheery.

8 - Never Open an Umbrella indoors Oooof never!

Don't do it!

Opening a brolly, as we call it in the UK, is a sure fire way to invite bad luck…in

fact they say opening an umbrella indoors means that bad luck will rain on you.

Some say it is an insult to the sun god, others say it is an insult to the guardian spirits

of your home.

Opening an umbrella in doors, practically, can cause you ill fortune as you could break

something … but in British superstition in runs much deeper than that.

7 - No Sweeping on New Years This is a Scottish tradition and one that

I observed this year as a precautionary measure.

My friend Denise who is Scottish told me about this one and I did NOT want 2019 bad luck.

Its bad luck to start the new year with a dirty house, mind, you should always take

your bins out and tidy before New Year, but when the clock strikes 12 you should not do

any sweeping, vacuuming or mopping until the 2nd January.

The reason for this is because you will sweep away all of the good luck for the year…which

really isn't what you want.

6 Salt over the shoulder If you spill salt in the UK it is a terrible

omen.

In order to protect yourself from bad luck when you spill salt is to throw some over

your left shoulder.

The reasoning is because , when you spill salt, the devil is watching over.

Throwing salt is said to be in order to get him in the eye and distract him from caysing

you trouble.

If you don't throw the salt….

Well… watch out.

5 Never Pass on the Stairs Stairs can be dangerous if you aren't using

them properly.

I fell down the stairs once and fracture my leg, and lots of older people end up having

falls when climbing up or down.

In the UK, it is bad luck to trip on the stairs…but I guess that just makes sense!

Crossing on the stairs is also terrible luck in the UK for both parties involved.

It suggests that you will come across great conflict in the near future.

I didn't realise it wasn't a thing elsewhere in the world – when I come across people

on the stairs I either walk but up or down so we don't have to cross…and in Canada

people generally looked at me like I was mad.

White table cloth Never leave a white table cloth out overnight

on a table overnight as it is a sign that you will need a shroud in the house in the

near future – a shroud is a traditional burial garment so basically the superstition

is saying that someone will die soon.

Not idea.

Similarly – 13 people should never dine together as the first to lea ve the table

will be the first in the group to die.

3 - Three Drains in a Row NEVER walk over three drains in a row.

In the UK people believe this will bring you terrible terrible luck.

Some have no idea what back luck is coming, just that it simply IS bad luck.

Others say it is a sign that a lot of people will walk over your grave one day.

There is also an old British belief that if you shudder it is because someone is walking

over your Gravestone.

If you DO accidentally walk over three drains, you can remedy the bad luck by spitting on

the last drain, or finding a solitary drain to walk over.

2 - Salute the Magpie Seeing a magpie on its own is a terrible omen

in the UK.

We have a rhyme that applies to the spotting of magpies – one for sorrow, two for joy,

three for a girl, four for a boy - although the original rhyme is One for sorrow, Two

for mirth, Three for a wedding, And four for death.

five for silver / six for gold / seven for a secret / not to be told / eight for heaven

/ nine for hell / ten for devil's own sell.

If you see one magpie, it is an omen of sorrow, four is an omen of death, nine for hell and

of course ten for the devil.

In order to rid yourself of the bad luck associated with seeing magpies, you must salute them.

If you see just one, you must salute and say Hello Mr Magpie, how is your wife.

Good, great, we're all crazy!

Finally, an urban legend, a superstition and a fear at the same time.

1 – The Ravens at the Tower of London Ravens in a lot of cultures are bad omens,

but for the UK, specifically the crown, they are necessary.

Ever since the tower of London has stood, which in some form has been the best part

of a thousand years, there have been ravens there.

We don't know where they came from and why they remain there, but the superstition and

legend is that the tower must house at least six ravens if not the British Monarchy will

fall.

The legend is enduring and was delivered to King Charles II on a need to know basis when

he was going to have them all killed – it was only then he was told the legend, which

must have been passed down through word of mouth for generations, Since the late 1600s

we have been keeping ravens there forcibly!

Today there is an actual Ravenmaster, a Beefeater who's job it is to tend to the captive ravens

at the tower – currently six and a spare!

The current rosta of ravens are Hardey, Thor, Odin, Gwyllum, Cedric, Hugine and Munin.

They all sound like lads.

At one point in history, the Ravens almost did leave the tower!

During World War 2 they couldn't abide the sounds coming from the bombing of London.

Luckily one remained and The UK did not fall, nor did the monarchy.

Phew.

A Review of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown - Duration: 14:59.

Despite providing some of the most profound experiences I've had with media of any kind,

there's arguably something of a paradox that exists at the heart of almost all anti-war

war games.

The titles that convey anti-war sentiment, but whose gameplay revolves around the same

kind of militaristic bravado inherent to some of the medium's most straight-ahead gun-fests.

There have been a number of attempts to navigate that conundrum more effectively over the years,

with games exploring less typical genres to highlight the powerlessness of the people

caught in the crossfire—recognising that while there's not anything wrong with violence

or guns in a video game, to incentivise and reward those violent interactions while also

trying to tell the player how terrible they are for carrying them out might come across

as a little disingenuous.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, on the other hand, decides to ignore that train of thought

completely; leaning hard into the dissonance as it sensually fawns over every nook and

cranny of every plane; giving you absolute control over exactly how you're going to

dismantle your foes in the coolest ways possible, contributing to an arbitrary arcade scoring

mechanic… all while using its fake sci-fi conflict between fictional nations about drones

and a princess with a VERY GOOD DOG and a space elevator that the good guys… or bad

guys… want to control… or destroy… all in order to tell us that… war is bad...

but also that pilots should be fighting wars?

It's a lot, but as games like Metal Gear Solid have shown us, your story doesn't

have to be super dour in order to make a salient point about the nature of conflict in the

digital age, for example—you can have some fun with it.

I usually end up cherishing the stories that embrace the absurdity of the medium they find

themselves in.

And with its allusions towards headier themes of the prevalence of civilian casualties even

with the use of unmanned aircraft, or what purpose fighter pilots serve when the jets

fly on their own, you can see the potential narrative throughline between a game like

MGS and Ace Combat – that kind of cold hard military fetishism butting heads with sci-fi

anime nonsense.

Or rather, that's how it should be.

Instead of butting heads, it's perhaps more accurate to say the two things are placed

next to each other and rarely the twain meet.

In reality, Ace Combat feels like it's telling two separate stories – the plot delivered

in-mission through radio transmissions as well as your mechanical interactions of your

mute pilot who ends up leading a squadron of flying prisoners to take down the drones

and the somehow weirder tale of the Erusian federation's development of said drones

using the DNA of… this guy and there's someone calling herself the scrap queen who

gets taken prisoner after flying a drag racer built by her grandpa, all of which apparently

draws upon the lore of this series that somehow dates back to the 1100s, and yet is told entirely

through lengthy, droning expository cutscenes almost completely distanced from your missions.

Said cutscenes make out its characters to be the protagonists for a good chunk of the

game, but on the rare occasion they make their presence known outside of these uninteractive

interludes, they present themselves as enemies to be taken down.

It all meant the narrative of my opposing squadron inevitably drew my sympathies thanks

to my active participation in these unfolding events, but I was never sure if that was the

takeaway the game wanted me to come away with because the cutscenes were telling me one

thing while the missions were telling me something wholly different.

It never struck me as a clever subversion of player allegiances; it felt more like storytelling

so contrived that even the developers weren't on the same page about the fundamentals of

its delivery.

As much as I've joked about it though, the problem isn't a lack of coherency; the tos

and fros of Ace Combat's territorial conflict aren't all that difficult to follow.

The problem is that the overarching narrative's monotonous delivery lacks the bombast that

could at least elevate it above said tedium.

Even with all of that said, however, none of this would be anywhere near as much of

a sticking point to me if the gameplay it distracted from didn't far more convincingly

sell me on Ace Combat's themes of the complicated horrors of war; or, more importantly, if said

gameplay wasn't so utterly, utterly thrilling.

Seriously, it's a rare thing that I'm way more concerned about gameplay spoilers

than story here; some of its set-pieces are so viscerally exciting that I genuinely think

they should be experienced blind.

In my 20 hours of play I craved the end of the cutscenes to get to the mission briefings

that followed—the tantalisingly dense series of maps and objectives that trusted me to

internalise and execute on its layered strategies; whose subtler story of the corruption at the

heart of military hierarchy felt at least somewhat related to what I was actually experiencing.

I got lost in the sea of new planes and weapons at my disposal; realising quickly that the

slightest changes to my loadout could have a drastic impact on the outcome of a sortie.

Most importantly, however, after a couple of missions whose wide-open spaces and predictable

circling of the enemy made me feel like the dogfights were more fun to watch in end-of-level

replays than they were to, well, play, I found myself totally hooked; I could not get enough

of its immensely high-stakes engagements.

These missions, while occasionally frustrating, placed such an emphasis on my own moment-to-moment

decision making that I felt empowered in a way that few games make me feel; and after

pondering why that was, I found that it largely came down to one thing—mission design.

See, if there's a sentiment that sums up the mission design of Ace Combat 7, it's

that restriction breeds creativity.

Instead of constantly adding to your arsenal in order to make you feel like some kind of

badass hero as other combat-themed games might do, the mission designers go the other way;

gradually restricting your access to certain features in order to force mastery of the

systems that remain - those that you may previously have taken for granted – and in doing so

drastically expand the scope of its arcade dogfighting into something far more varied,

challenging and rewarding.

For example, you might become used to your special weapon over time—often more powerful

or with greater homing capabilities on more targets than your standard missiles.

Well, how about a mission where you're forced to drop said weapon in place of a laser guidance

system—forcing you to get closer to your target as well as hold your position as the

bomb drops, made all the more terrifying by how perilously low you have to descend into

the mountains in order to do so.

Up to this point, it's been a case of getting your radar in the general vicinity of the

target and hitting a button.

Now, the designers force you to stare your target in the face for a prolonged period

of time; testing your aim as well as your nerve as every fibre in your body screams

at you to pull up.

It's the same systems, it's largely the same setting of open sky and rocky ground

as any other mission, but by removing just one potential crutch the player may lean on,

the game presents what feels like a completely fresh scenario.

Multiple missions will remove the radar to differing effects; a lightning strike in a

canyon filled with jagged rocks will force you to remain prepared to focus more closely

on your target—following it through these hazards as your HUD intermittently cuts out.

A sandstorm will mess with the electronics forcing you to seek out ground targets manually

while only being able to see a few feet in front of you.

A universal outage will require you to get unnervingly close to targets for visual confirmation

on whether they're friend or foe—always weighing up risking friendly fire against

the time it would take to properly identify, turn around and make another pass at taking

them out.

All wildly varying challenges, all stemming from the simple removal of your reliance on

the radar.

Hell, this is a game where you fly massive planes at Mach speeds in order to cause spectacular

explosions, that manages to create a believable, honest to god stealth mission simply by taking

away your ability to gain altitude and, by setting it in a narrow canyon and restricting

your movement, your manoeuvrability is put to the test in a way it previously wasn't.

What's more, it's a moment of quiet in an experience that is otherwise relentless.

The developers' more restrictive approach to mission design ends up as much a pacing

device as it is a joyously tense gameplay set-piece.

This process of restricting your abilities in missions both trains you to become an absolute

powerhouse against the game's tougher foes, zigging to meet their zag at the drop of a

hat, while really making you feel like you earned that power—like your mastery of the

systems is what drives the game's progression.

And Ace Combat really is a game that forces this mastery.

I'm a big fan of action games that allow you to pull off the crazy moves you see in

their cutscenes, but here doing so is not only encouraged by the game's immensely

flexible controls, but it's often a very strict mission requirement—fail to pull

off these incredible feats of airmanship and your punishment is severe.

One of the reasons the aforementioned set pieces are so tense – the high stakes at

play here – come down to the fact that, in what can often be incredibly chaotic situations

(whether due to the obstacles you must navigate or the weirdly aggressive time limits the

game sets you), a simple graze of the wing in minute 20 can send you all the way back

to minute 1.

To say it is unforgiving would be an understatement.

This difficulty, however, was the element that made the game for me in a lot of regards,

because it's one of the few titles I've played recently in which you can truly say

that every move counts.

It turned every bombing run, every pursuit of an unpredictable enemy, into a taut game

of risk and reward.

Every mission contained several of those delightfully Hollywood-esque scenarios, where you're

tailing the guy but there's a bogey on your six that's got a lock on you; you're out

of missiles and having to use your eyes to orient your machine gun fire.

Your radio is begging you to evade, leading you to either get out of dodge or wait that

agonising second longer to get that shot before pulling as hard as you can on the joystick

to avoid the obstacle that awaits you.

You know you can pull this off, you just know you can… even though when you do, it likely

moved so fast that you wonder how the hell you got out unscathed.

It's the kind of thrill games rarely afford you from a purely mechanical standpoint, for

sure, but what was surprising to me as I progressed was how much more invested I was in these

moments from a narrative sense than the lore dumps the game throws at you; how much more

effectively the game's little details, its design and mechanics delivered on its more

thematic ambitions.

For example, the hostility shown towards you by your higher-ups do a far better job of

highlighting the plight of your supposed opponents than the cutscenes simply by virtue of the

fact that their talk of making your lowly squadron useful as targets (backed up by missions

that restrict your weapons for that very reason) makes you feel trapped in your predicament,

yearning for any side that's going to rise up against these incompetent idiots.

They just can't see that you could handle this if you were given a longer leash.

After making it through these gargantuan tasks demanded of you, tearing through as many enemies

as possible to just make the wild score counts the game requires, repeating the same fifteen

minutes over and over again to nail the final required manoeuvre, you come out grizzled,

exhausted; in full knowledge that the game has tested you to my limits and that you have

overcome.

You feel like you've truly proven your capabilities, and what's more, the game seems to reflect

that.

Air control announcements progressively become less confrontational as your piloting abilities

become more trusted.

The three lines on your tail – previously a source of derision for your character's

supposed crimes – are subtly redesigned as you become a subject of fear; your name

spoken in hushed whispers you hear from both your comrades and from occasional radio intercepts

as enemies briefly express their shock at the appearance of the now legendary Three

Strikes.

The mission briefings gradually illustrate that your so-called superiors, concerned only

with saving face, have been ousted as more and more voices are heard; highlighting how

meaningless the hierarchy is when you and your prisoner buddies are the ones sticking

to missions even in the face of pure chaos.

As I played through the game, I felt like I'd earned those three strikes on my plane;

I'd clawed back the respect of my squad.

I had become the ace pilot the radio dialogue portrayed me as, and I'd done so purely

through clever, less-is-more mission design bolstered by tight controls.

But then there's also that moment.

A missile you fire at a radar tower – one of thousands of missiles you fire at countless

radar towers – will be met with the expected "hoo-rah" for conquering yet another target

before a radio intercept will force you to listen to the enemy scatter in panic as fire

engulfs their facility, or eavesdrop on an unknown troop lamenting the sudden death of

his brother at your hands.

It's a fleeting moment; barely anything in the grand scheme of the mass destruction

you cause.

There's also arguably a degree of cynicism to the whole endeavour given that there's

not a way for you to back out of the violence you inflict.

That said, while the personal micro-narrative of ascending the ranks through gameplay was

incredibly satisfying in and of itself, moments like this were as close as the game got to

jolting me out of that arcade-y mindset and actually forcing me to think about the wider

implications, the real human cost of taking out the toy tank in the little green square

for 100 points—the thing my corrupt higher-ups were congratulating me for, expecting me to

forget about in an instant to move onto the next target.

And while this is far from the most profound subversion of player input, the game's remarkably

minimalist approach in this regard – its willingness to surface these moments for just

long enough that you begin to question the impact of your actions - acts as further proof

that, when trying to convey the horrors of conflict, a million monotonous cutscenes telling

you "war is bad but also pilots should be fighting the bad wars" will always fail

to reach the thematic potency of one finely tuned interaction.

So I hope you enjoyed my review of Ace Combat 7.

Talor Tilt Tests - Duration: 4:54.

This is Brent of the Brookbush Institute in this video we're going to go over two

more special tests for ankle joint stability, they're called the talar

tilt test. So I'm going to have my friend Yvette come out, and she's going to help me

demonstrate. Now these tests help test the integrity of both our medial

ligaments being our deltoid ligaments, as well as our lateral ligaments being the

ATFL, CFL and PTFL, and you actually don't need to memorize the the names of

those ligaments. What we are testing for is do we have good joint stability, do we

have integrity of these ligaments after something like an acute ankle sprain.

Maybe Yvette was playing soccer and she stepped in a little pothole in

the field and sprained her ankle, we need to make sure that sure her ligaments are

okay, that we still have enough stability that we think physical therapy is a good

choice. I'm going to go ahead and have Yvette just move this so you can see the

ankle. Now these tests are fairly simple to do and being 'talar tilt tests'

that's exactly what we're going to do, we're going to tilt her talus and see if her

ligaments stopped us. So I'm going to grab her tibia and stabilize it, I'm going to use

the palm of my other hand and grab a bunch of calcaneus here right, and I just

put her calcaneus right between my thenar eminence here. I'm going to get my forearms

so that they're in the direction of the force, and I'm just going to kind of like

take up all the slack into e-version in this case, I'm tilting her her talus

into e-version. I'm just going to give it a little thrust, almost like I'm

doing like a joint mobilization. If her ligaments stopped me, any pain? There's no

pain then I know that these ligaments are doing okay, in this case your deltoid

ligaments. For her lateral ligaments I'm just going to switch my hand position, so

I'm going to stabilize my tibia, I'm going to grab a handful of calcaneus, I'm going to

take up all the inversion and then just give a little thrust. Not

really like a high velocity thrust, more like I'm doing like a joint mobilization,

and just make sure that her lateral ligaments actually stop me from going

any further. If I didn't know whether I was feeling normal or abnormal

motion, of course I could compare it to her other ankle assuming that she had

one affected side and hadn't sprained both ankles in the in the same outing.

So again grab the tibia, handful of calcaneus, get my my forearms grab all

the inversion, take all the slack out and then I'm just going to mobilize a

little bit, and they stopped me. Notice I have not neutral

position or zero degrees of dorsiflexion, but she's not pulled all

the way into plantarflexion. I'm just kind of in that nice neutral position.

Same thing and go the other way, grab some tibia, grab some calcaneus, take up

all the slack in e-version and then give her some little thrusts

like I'm doing a joint mobilization, and if those ligaments stop me then I know

she has good integrity, and of course we can tell by her face that that wasn't

painful either. Again these aren't tests for like concordance signs, these

aren't pain propagation tests like an impingement test. An impingement test we

might come back to over and over and over again

as we try to treat and address an issue, and of course make the patient better.

These tests are more about clearing the patient for physical therapy. If she had

a positive talar tilt test and let's say also a positive anterior drawer test

which I went over in a previous video, and I'm just seeing massive amounts of

instability, I might refer her out right away, let's go get an MRI maybe talk to a

surgeon. If you lose too much of your ligament to stability around the ankle

and sometimes it doesn't get better without surgical intervention. At the

very least if I thought I had a positive anterior drawer, a positive talar tilt

test, and then after two or three sessions I was seeing no improvement, I

would definitely refer out then from physical therapy. So there

you have it, medial and lateral talar tilt tests. Also find those videos

on the anterior drawer and the subtalar joint stability test,

and you can kind of cluster these together as your quick tests if somebody

comes in with an acute ankle injury. If you have any questions leave them in the

comments below.

My Top 3 $200 ANC Headphones As Of Q1 2019 - Duration: 14:19.

The premium ANC headphone market is really heating up… so much so Microsoft jumped

in with their new Surface headphones, Jabara announced their new Elite 85H's at CES 2019,

and most recently its rumored that Sonos is even working on their own pair of ANC headphones.

But as of right now, I think the Sony 1000XM3's are currently the best ANC headphones on the

market right now.

But I know dropping $350 on a pair of ANC headphones is a lot for some people.

So today we're going to compare my current top 3 favorite sub $200 ANC headphones as

of Q1 2019.

We have the Sony WH-CH700N, the Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC, and the Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT

or as I call them, the Sir 50's.

Now I like and have no problem recommending either of these headphones but they all have

their own pros and cons.

But I think this video is going to be pretty interesting cause instead of me crapping on

one specific pair of headphones, we're going to be comparing 3 pairs of headphones that

I genuinely like for different reasons.

Like I said, these are my top 3 favorite Sub $200 ANC headphones.

The Sennheiser 4.50 BTNC's have a retail price of $179.99… where as both the Sony

WH-CH700N and Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT have a retail price of $199.99.

If you wanna pick either of these headphones up I'll have links in the description down

below and I suggest you check them out cause you never know when they'll might go on

sale.

So you'll might get lucky.

Ok first lets get the simple stuff out the way here and thats included accessories and

ports.

The Audio-Technica Sir50's come included with a faux leather carrying pouch that I

think looks a little classy.

Where as the Sennheiser's come included with a polyester soft shell carrying case

which im not a big fan of but at least they came with something.

Cause unfortunately, the Sony WH-CH700N don't even come included with a carrying pouch or

case.

But still if you plan on on traveling with either of these headphones I highly recommend

you invest in a hardshell carrying case.

Cable wise, all of these headphones come included with a micro USB cable for charging.

Even though its 2019, if you want USB C charging on your headphones you're going to have

to spring for more expensive headphones like the 1000XM3's or surface headphones cause

USB C still hasn't made its way down to cheaper headphones just yet.

And both the Sir50's and WH-Ch700N come included with decent 3.5 to 3.5 millimeter

audio cables.

But just a heads up the Sennheiser's uses a 2.5 millimeter audio jack.

But now lets talk about build quality, cause its ones of the main reasons I like the Sennheiser's

and Sir50's so much and its one of the Sony WH-Ch700N's weak points.

Sony has done a great job of packing in a lot of features into the WH-CH700N but I guess

they had to compromise on build quality.

When even you flex the headband theres a good amount cracking and squeaking.

Its not overly excessive like some other sub $200 headphones I've tested but I would

definitely take it easy with these headphones.

I mean, they're not going to fall apart on you but their build quality pales in comparison

to both the Sennheiser's and Sir50's.

When ever you flex the headband or extend the headband on the sir50's they're almost

silent.

Tolerances on the body panels are very tight and if you squint they even resemble the 1000XM3's.

But what does make the Sir50's special is that they can either be laid down flat or

fold up.

Where as the Sony's can only be laid down flat, and the Sennheiser's can only be folded

up.

But I think the best build quality award here has to go to the Sennheiser's.

Just like the Sir50's if you flex the headband its basically silent and all of the body panels

are exactly where they need to be.

But what makes the Sennheiser's stand out here is that they're built like a tank.

If you're looking for a pair of headphones that you can throw around and not worry about,

then the Sennheiser's are the way to go.

But when it comes to fit, the Sennheiser's are objectively the least comfortable headphones

here.

Now all three of these headphones are big head approved but both the Sennheiser's

and Sony's have a snug fit.

They're not uncomfortable, but you'll never forget they're there.

But the main reason the Sennheiser's are the least comfortable headphones is cause

of their ear cups.

They're a little cramped compared to the other ear cups here and they're only suitable

for people with smaller flushed ears.

Where as the Sony's have the most spacious ear cups here… they're actually more spacious

than the ear cups on the 1000Xm3.

But the most comfortable award here has to go to the Sir50's.

The ear cups on the Sir50's are almost as spacious as the ear cups on the WH-CH700N,

but the main reason the Sir50's are the most comfortable headphones here is cause

they have very little clamping force like the Sony 1000XM3 or Bose QC35.

And since the Sir50's have very little clamping force they're great for long use sessions

and unlike the other headphones here, you'll forget you even have them on.

Now when it comes to battery life, both the Sennheiser and Sir50's perform relatively

the same.

The Sennheiser's have an advertised battery life of 25 hours and the Sir50's have an

advertised battery life of 28.

Over all I've found they're both good for about a week and a half in-between charges

for the way that I use them.

But the Sony WH-CH700N have an advertised battery life of 35 hours which is way above

average and they're good for about 2 weeks in between charges.

And when it comes to bluetooth connectivity all of these headphones have stable connections

that don't cut out.

But unfortunately all of these headphones can only be connected to one device at a time

so you cant hot swap from one device to another as seamlessly as AirPods or the surface headphones.

But I also wanted to point out the WH-CH700N do have a bit of latency when watching youtube

videos on your iPhone where as the other 2 headphones don't.

But that latency goes away if you're going to watch Netflix on your iPhone.

Now regarding active noise cancellation on all of these headphones, I just want to set

expectations first.

No matter what anybody else tells you for right now the active noise cancelation on

sub $200 ANC headphones is going to be nowhere near as good as the active noise cancelation

found on more premium ANC headphones.

And just so you can see for yourself we're going to jump into an ANC test.

So like I said, the active noise cancelation on these Sub $200 headphones is nowhere near

as effective as the ANC on the 1000XM3.

And thats perfectly fine.

But there are other metrics to consider when judging the ANC on any pair of headphones.

For starters all of these headphones have very little cabin pressure when ANC is turned

on, which is good to see cause some other headphones out there might cause discomfort

on your eardrums.

Which honestly is just annoying.

And these headphones also have very little hissing with ANC turned on which is a common

issue with other headphones with crappy ANC.

So over all, even though these headphones don't block out as much noise a more premium

headphones, their ANC can be useful to block out some constant low frequency sounds like

road noise, and if youre in an already quite place like an office or library they can block

out the constant rumbling of an AC unit or a little bit of chatter.

And they do so without causing any added discomfort which is the most important thing to keep

in mind.

Now when it comes to sound quality, all of these headphones perform well in the sense

that their bass never bottoms out, they have good clarity, and the highs never get tiny.

You see, with some other ANC headphones out there, if you use them with their ANC turned

on their sound stage gets narrowed and or their bass starts to bottom out more frequently

when the bass really gets going.

But in general if you want to get the best sound quality out of your ANC headphones its

best to use them with ANC turned off.

But when it comes to sound signatures, both the Sennheiser's and Sir50's have a neutral

sound signature, but I do think the Sir50's have better clarity and detail than the Sennheiser's.

But if you're looking for a pair of headphones that have more kick in their bass then you'll

want to look into the WH-Ch700N.

The WH-CH700N are the only headphones here who's app allows your to directly adjust

their EQ.

So you can make them sound how ever you want depending on the type of music you listen

to.

But no matter how much you play around with the EQ their Clarity and detail isn't going

to be as good as the other two headphones here.

So if I have to rank these headphones from best to worst sound quality wise, it would

go first place Sir50's, second goes to the Sennheiser's, and third would go to the

WH-CH700N.

But now lets talk about bonus features, unfortunately the Sennheiser's are going to have to sit

this one out cause besides ANC they don't have another features to showcase.

Besides good build quality, a comfortable fit, and good sound… one of the other reasons

the Sir50's made it onto my current top 3 list is cause they are one of the only sub

$200 ANC headphones out there that feature both an ambient more and quick attention mode

just like the 1000XM3's.

The Sir50's have a feature called Hear Through were they'll pump in some of the ambient

sound around you so you can still hear whats going on when you have your headphones on.

This feature is useful if you're walking around in the city or if you work in an office

you can still hear when someone calls your name.

The Sir50's also have quick hear through where if you press the only physical button

on the left ear cup your headphones will mute your music and pump in all of the ambient

sound around you like this.

And I really like when headphones have this feature cause you can talk to someone without

having to take off your headphones.

But unfortunately, even though the WH-CH700N are the 1000XM3's little brother they don't

have an ambient or quick attention mode.

They do how ever have google assistant integration.

And

as voice assistants continue to get better and get integrated into out daily lives, more

and more headphones are going to have direct voice assistant integration.

So its cool to see that the WH-CH700N already has this.

So we're now at the tail end of this video and I'm willing to bet that a good chunk

of people watching this might be considering getting the Sir50's.

I mean like I said earlier, they have good build quality, they're very comfortable,

they sound great, and they have very useful extra features… but they do have one glaring

issue, and thats their touch pad.

The Sir50's have a touch pad on the left ear cup to control your music playback.

But unfortunately as a righty this touch pad is very hard to use even after a few weeks

and its not the most accurate touch pad out there.

So when ever I use the Sir50's I just find myself using my phone to control my music

playback.

So the Sir50's do lose a bit of points when it comes to connivance.

Where as both the Sony's and Sennheiser's have a dedicated volume rocker and a switch

so you can easily scrub through your music all while keeping your phone in your pocket.

But I do prefer Sony's media control buttons over Sennheiser's cause they're larger

and easy to tell apart.

So overall, like I said at the beginning of this video I like and have no problem recommending

either of these headphones.

But if it wasn't for the Sir50's crappy touch controls on their left ear cup they

would be hands down my number one and most recommended sub $200 ANC headphones.

So I would only recommend getting the Audio-Technica ATH-SR50BT's if you're willing to comprise

on those touch controls or learn how to live with them.

But other than that I love these $200 headphones.

If you're looking for a pair of headphones with more spacious ear cups or an adjustable

EQ then the Sony WH-CH700N are a good option too.

And finally theres the Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC.

Just like the Audio-Technica's… they sound great.

But they're definitely not for people with larger ears.

But if you're looking for a pair of good looking rugged headphones then they're a

good option too.

These Hackers Managed To Break Into the Government - Duration: 7:54.

According to an article in the New Yorker in 2014, the term hack in relation to technology

came about in the 1950s.

Back then, it had more benign connotations, mostly meaning working on a technical solution

to something.

Then in the 1970s we started talking about malicious hackers, people who would exploit

vulnerabilities in a system.

These people soon became known as "black hat" hackers, while the hackers that were

less malicious were called "white hats."

Then we have the term life hacker, which is more or less neutral.

Despite the fact there are the good, the bad, and the ugly in the hacking world, we still

for the most part tend to think of hacking as something of a nefarious activity.

We have good reason too, as you'll find out in this episode of the Infographics Show,

Hackers Who Broke into the Government.

War Games Some media reports say one of the world's

most famous hackers, Kevin Mitnick, was the inspiration behind the 1983 movie War Games.

But in numerous interviews he has denied this, although he did admit that he hacked a lot

of big companies.

Some reports tell us he also hacked the FBI and NORAD – the North American Aerospace

Defense Command.

Perhaps he is telling the truth and this is just bad journalism, so we'll just say some

sources state this happened.

He did say this, though, in an interview with Salon: "Hacking to me was like a video game.

It was about getting trophies.

I just kept going on and on, despite all the trouble I was getting into, because I was

hooked."

This hacker was revealed to the public, but you'll see later that some of the world's

biggest hackers remain faceless.

More War Games No one is denying that a British man called

Matthew Bevan hacked into the United States Air Force, NASA, NATO, and the Korean Atomic

Research Institute.

This guy has been accused by security experts of almost starting World War Three.

Along with another man, well, a 16-year old-boy called Richard Pryce, Bevan hacked into military

computer systems in the USA.

The US government started a case against him but later dropped it.

While reports suggest this really did happen, Bevan told The Guardian in 2002 that the US

government had overblown things at the time.

Speaking about another British hacker who was accused of hacking American military computers,

Bevan said, "I know how the American propaganda works because I've been at the sharp end of

it.

If he is extradited, he is stuffed because they will want to make an example of him."

The Winner Kevin Poulsen has had an interesting career,

becoming an editor and journalist after starting out as a hacker.

In 1990, he hacked his way to winning a Porsche 944 S2 by hacking a radio station's telephone

lines.

But it's also said that at the age of just 17 he hacked into ARPANET, the Pentagon's

computer network.

He was arrested and sentenced to 5 years in prison.

He was banned from using computers for a few years after his release, but he eventually

became a writer working in tech journalism.

The Loser Like Poulsen, a young hacker called Jonathan

James ended up behind bars, albeit for a probation violation on the back of a cyber security

crime he had committed.

That crime was hacking into the United States Department of Defense, and he did it when

he was just a teenager.

It's said he hacked many emails of employees and saw a lot of sensitive data.

OPM Hack The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM)

was hacked in 2010.

This is an office that according to Wired staves off around 10 million attempted hacks

per month.

It's said that in all 21.5 million records were stolen, and all of them were related

to employees at OPM.

This went on for some time, and for a long time no one had any idea who was behind it.

The Washington Post reported in 2017 that a Chinese national had been arrested for the

hack, but it's thought more people were helping this one man.

It was possible that the Chinese government was behind him and his crew.

The court transcripts said he would "acquire and use malicious software tools, some of

which were rare variants previously unidentified by the FBI and information security community,

including a malicious software tool known as 'Sakula.'"

Pluck the Police The FBI was certainly embarrassed after a

15-year-old British kid hacked into it in 2015.

The media tells us that this teenager also hacked into the Department of Homeland Security,

and then he plucked and leaked tens of thousands of highly sensitive files.

He was said to be just one kid who belonged to a group called Crackas With Attitude.

Hacking the Democrats In 2016, the media reported that the Democratic

Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) had been hacked, and thousands of emails had been

leaked.

Mashable wrote, "The hack exposed emails indicating supposedly neutral DNC officials

maneuvered in favor of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders."

Russian hackers were blamed for this incident.

Russian Snakes In 2018, there was another incident involving

Russian hackers.

This time, they were blamed for hacking the German government.

Reuters tells us that a group known as Snake got into government computers and saw a lot

of sensitive files.

While Russian hackers were blamed, the Kremlin denied any part of this hack, saying, "We

note with regret that any hacking attacks in the world are associated with Russian hackers

but that each time they (the allegations) are made without any tangible proof."

Nonetheless, it's said this group, which is linked to the Russian government, also

tried to hack many other countries' governments using the same malware.

Sick Singaporeans The BBC writes that in 2015 Singapore's

government health database was hacked, so someone got hold of the health information

of 1.5 million people in that country.

The good news is that the hackers only got names and where the people went to the hospital.

They also saw the medicine prescriptions of 160,000 people.

Panicky in the UK The biggest health hack of all time has to

be when Britain's National Health Service was infiltrated in 2017.

Hackers locked files containing information about people's health.

They demanded money and then said if they were paid, they would unlock those files.

The Independent wrote at the time, "The ransomware is shocking and horrifying."

Known as the WannaCry hack, these people got into around 200,000 computers in an estimated

150 countries, so it might well be the hack of all hacks.

It has been reported that North Korea was behind the attacks.

The US government as well as Microsoft and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre also

said that.

In 2018, the US charged a North Korean citizen called Park Jin Hyok for the hack.

The Lost Virginians Staying with health, in 2009 the very personal

health information of 8.3 million Virginians was hacked.

The hackers demanded 10 million dollars or else they would release the information, which

consisted of patient records and prescriptions.

It doesn't seem like they got paid.

With so many prolific hackers out there, even if you're not the government you're going

to need some serious online security.

Millions Of Americans Fleeing To Mexico For Better Healthcare - Duration: 4:47.

Donald trump told us recently on twitter that there's actually two caravans.

There's two immigrant caravans coming through Mexico headed towards the United States to

now the last one fizzled out.

The one before that fizzled out, but totally believable that there's now two different

caravans, I guess maybe racing each other towards the US border to see who can get here

first.

I don't know how the Hell it works.

All I know is that they don't even exist, so sure.

Why not speculate that there's this big multimillion person race coming towards the US border,

but here's the thing.

Immigration is actually a real issue, right?

We, we, we do have problems with our immigration system.

One of the biggest problems is that we're blocking children in cages and separating

them from their parents and then oops, losing their parents, or worse, we're just letting

the kids die.

To me, that's the biggest immigration issue, but here's the thing.

It works both ways, right?

Because it's not just people coming from the southern border into the United States.

We have plenty of people, in fact, thousands of people per day going from the us into Mexico,

parking their cars in the United States than walking across the border into Mexico and

do you know why they're doing that?

Well, according to new reports, we've got thousands of people leaving the us to go to

Mexico on a daily basis to seek cheaper quality healthcare.

So while government officials, the trump administration, they're sitting here demonizing Mexico as

this hell hole, which is actually a nicer phrase than what the president has used in

the past.

They're horrible.

They're awful.

They're all drug dealers, rapists, killers, whatever they are.

And then the American public is like, Oh, I hate those immigrants.

Hey, you want to go down to Mexico and get some dental work done?

It's 80 percent cheaper down there.

You want to go buy some prescription drugs?

We can't afford to buy them in the US.

So it's either we hopped the border and purchase them or we don't get them.

That's literally what's happening every single day with thousands of people here in the United

States according to the new report.

And if you'd like to check out the report for yourself, I encourage you to do so.

You can find the link in the description of this video.

It is well worth the read.

But here's the thing, again, we are demonizing not just the people that come over here, but

the entire country.

I mean basically everything south of the United States right now is being demonized by the

current administration.

And yet they're obviously doing something better.

They're doing something better and a lot of it has to do with dental care and prescription

drugs.

Um, what's really striking to me though is that again, we have thousands of people according

to the report going into Mexico every day, you know, they stay there, they get the dinner

work done, or they go over there, they grabbed their prescription drugs and they hop back

across the border.

Have you heard anyone down there in Mexico saying, we've got to build a wall.

We had to keep out these filthy, disgusting, sickly Americans.

We had to keep them out of Mexico.

No, but you do hear people like Tucker Carlson saying, immigrants make us dirtier.

Immigrants make us sicker and yet we're actually the ones fleeing the United States to go into

Mexico to get better medical care.

That to me is one of the biggest ironies of this entire immigration story that has blown

up throughout the trump administration, but it's also very good evidence that we have

to fix our healthcare system in the United States and we have to fix it immediately.

Nobody in this country should ever have to leave our own borders to go get better, cheaper

medical care.

Medicare for all is the only solution at this point, the only one, and I do firmly believe

that it is an inevitable solution.

Something that will happen hopefully within the next five to 10 years, if not even sooner

than that.

The public wants it, the public needs it, and until they get it, they're just going

to have to hop the border to the south and sometimes hop the border to the north to go

and get better, more cost efficient healthcare because our system in the United States is

absolutely horrible.

Babbel vs Duolingo - Duration: 4:09.

So recently I have been travelling a lot

which means lots of language learning

and lots of app testing

so today we are returning some findings

and comparing 2 of the most renowned language applications in the world

Babbel vs Duolingo

what do they do ?

what are the differences ?

and how can they help you learn a language ?

sound interesting ?

then keep on watching

before we get started let's take a quick step back

and take a look at what Babbel and Duolingo actually are actually are

so on a very basic level

these 2 applications have taken the materials

that you used to find in

books and cds

and built them

into apps

now although this sounds simple

the advantages are huge!

because they can

and the biggest advantage of all

is they are accessible 24 hours a day

because you can carry them around

in the palm of your hand

cool

but do they actually help you learn a language ?

yes and no

both of these applications are great for beginners because they are...

so if you have no previous knowledge of the language

and want to get started

these are 2 great options to try

they are slightly limited

and are only going to help you reach a certain level

so if you have dreams of downloading Duolingo

and becoming fluent

dream again

because neither Babbel nor Duolingo

give you any actual interaction with native speakers

so it's like try to teach somebody to swim

but never actually setting foot in the water

so

I think a big reason that

that Babbel has 10s

whereas Duolingo has 100s

of millions of downloads

is the fact that it's free

whereas Babbel gives you 1 free lesson

and after that it's approximately 10 Euros a month

which in fairness is still a lot cheaper

than most other materials on the market

Duolingo appeals to the masses

because it has gameified languages

so you start at the bottom of the game

and by remembering words and phrases you work your way to the top

and on the way you win

shields, lingots, owls

and other lord of the rings

sounding stuff

so on the 1 hand this is awesome

because it essentially gets people addicted

the precious lingots

on the other hand it's slightly restricting

because you can't jump from one place to the next

you have to unlock the levels

but what is sure, is that if you like a game

swapping candy crush for Duolingo

is probably quite a good shout

Babbel is a lot more standard

in terms of it's design

but it offers lots of flexibility

you can jump back and forth as you need

and if you already have some working knowledge of the language

jump to the bit you want and...

no time wasted

so there are lots of things we could say

and big words that we could use here

but essentially the 2 apps do a fairly similar thing

by showing you a series of

over and over again

until you remember it

they make you study small chunks daily

as oppose to cramming

and they do this in the most

entertaining and encouraging way possible

so that you don't get bored

so i think the fun design of Duolingo

is also reflected in the content

they are often criticised by serious language learners

for teaching useless phrases

fair enough

that said if you are just learning for fun

maybe it will make you giggle

and it will stick in your head better so...

voilà

Now Babbel's more serious design

is also reflected in their more serious content

they go into a lot more depth

on cultural aspects, grammatical structures

and they is overall more on the language

as oppose to the game

and one small but very important point

is that they use native speakers

as oppose to robot voices

which i personally find much more helpful

but does that make it worth the money ?

it depends

if i stop sitting on the fence

and give you my personal recommendation

here is what i would do

so if you are a complete beginner

and just going for a weekend away

you want to learn some words and phrases and...

a little bit of fun

i would go with Duolingo

it's fun, easy and...

it's free

zero euros

however, if you really have aspirations

of becoming conversational or fluent

i would sign up to something like Babbel

because they are going to give you

more structure, more flexibility

and potentially a more serious learning experience

so guys and girls i hope you found this useful

and if you want more language

tips, tricks and randomness

Don't Be Your Mind's B**ch - Duration: 10:52.

- Hey guys, good morning.

J.K. with Porn Reboot here, on my way back

from the gym, as usual.

Today, I want to speak briefly

about not being your mind's bitch,

and that means the ability to control your biochemistry,

as a tool for creating the world that you live in.

Ideally, you wanna create a world

where you do not medicate your stress,

and your anger, your strong emotions,

and your loneliness, and other things

with pornography and masturbation.

You want to be able to first, develop coping skills,

and eventually rewire your brain,

and in the process change your biochemistry,

to respond in much healthier ways.

I'm going to use meditation as an example

of a tool that you can use to change your biochemistry

and quit being your mind's little bitch.

Now, a lotta people have the misconception

that meditation is something exotic,

or something which is woo-woo,

and involves a certain amount of spirituality.

In recovery and in the Porn Reboot system

I teach men the basics of meditation,

and it's not for everybody,

but most human beings can meditate,

and they're different types of meditation.

I'll give you an example, let's say I have a client

who is fine during the week.

He doesn't slip, he can spend time with his kids

and his wife, and he's not easily frustrated,

but every weekend, without fail, he slips.

So, one of the things that meditation would do for him,

and meditation is simply becoming present.

And one of the ways you can become present

is by observing your breath, observing your breathing,

'cause your breathing is the only thing

which is constant in you.

Regardless of what happens in your body,

you are going to breathe,

involuntarily, you are going to keep breathing.

So, when you obverse that, you're observing something

that's constant, and it requires an intense amount

of presence, which means that you have to be here

in the moment to obverse your breath without controlling it.

When you are in the moment you cannot be anywhere else.

And using the example of this client,

it's Saturday, he gets up in the morning,

and he does his Porn Reboot morning routine.

He gets up, it's eight o'clock, and he feels a lot

of resistance to waking up.

There is something biochemical

that is occurring in his body.

Now, what's happening is that, his body is rejecting

the fact that he is waking up and not doing anything,

because his body knows that, hey, on a typical day

around this time, I wake up and I get pissed off

about my day, or I get upset about the fact

that I need to work.

So, right there at that moment,

there's going to be a chemical reaction.

So, he gets up and let's say, he uses the bathroom

and he sits down to meditate.

He's gonna sit down, and maybe for the first thirty seconds,

he observes his breath, but what's going to happen

is immediately, his mind is gonna go somewhere else.

Because, maybe typically at that time,

that's the time he gets on Instagram

while he's in the bathroom,

and he's filling his head with dopamine.

He's reading the news, he's getting some type of stimuli.

Your body wants that stimuli,

and you're not giving your body that stimuli that it needs.

So, it's going to be very uncomfortable to sit there.

It's very uncomfortable,

not because your mind is running all over the place,

it's very uncomfortable because your body

does not want to be there.

Your body is craving something,

but through meditation and mindfulness,

you are training your body

to stay and remain in the moment.

He sits for a little bit, maybe after 10 minutes.

Again, the body is like, well okay,

since you're not going to look at Instagram,

you're not gonna look at this,

dude, you should be checking your email,

there might be something important there.

Again, the craving for a certain biochemical reaction

occurs within the body.

And the body is craving the feeling

of getting into your email and the mystery

of what sort of emails you're going to get.

It's novelty too.

They're might be somebody that pisses you off.

They're might be something from your boss

that makes you anxious.

Your body is prepared, it is prepped,

and it is craving all these different biochemical reactions.

And when you sit, again, and you choose

not to engage in those things, what you're doing is

you are training the body to be in the moment,

and not crave those biochemical reactions, okay.

The sames goes with pornography,

the sames goes with masturbation,

but it starts with the most basic emotions

that you are using porn and masturbation to medicate.

What you're doing is, you're training your body

just like a horse, or just like a dog.

No matter how stubborn it is

it's going to break at some point.

It's going to break and finally it is going to learn

that you are the boss, that you control it,

and it cannot just simply react

to any sort of compulsive behavior.

This can be done by anybody, however,

one thing that I've noticed is that

some men have exposed themselves to modalities of recovery

that do not teach them this.

They teach them all sorts of things,

but they do not let them know

that they have the power to train their brain.

They have the power to change your biochemical reactions.

They have the power to change themselves in essence.

And when the first message you receive

when you seek help for your porn or masturbation addiction,

is that you have no power over that,

that sticks with you, that stays with you.

And then when you're put in a community of other people

who have affirmed that they have no power,

and other people who say, like hey, trust us,

we have done this for years and we have recovered

because we have no power.

That makes you believe that, hey, I am powerless,

it is so powerful, I guess, I guess that's the way it is.

And then you become initiated into those beliefs.

That's why some men come to me after they've tried

these methods that don't work.

They find it so challenging to accept the fact

that they can change their biochemistry,

and meditation is just one very basic example

of how it can be done.

In the Porn Reboot system there are lots

of coping skills that you can learn.

There are lots of ways that you can change

your biochemistry.

There are lots of methods to do that.

So, a lot of men are just like, oh my god.

There's so much resistance to it and they struggle a lot,

because their core beliefs that they've been initiated in

year, after year, after year by participating

in these other methods is that you have no power.

So, so many things happen to them,

and they tell me, ah, it's just, it's, you know,

it's just my anxiety, I can't control it.

And the belief needs to change.

Not everybody comes into the Porn Reboot system

is ready for it.

Many of them, I tell them, hey man,

you're not ready to work with me.

If you want to work with me,

we are not going to jump straight into the coping skills.

It's not going to be as easy as you think it is.

We've got to change those unhealthy beliefs

about recovery that you have picked up,

because they are not serving you anymore,

they are holding you back.

I'm appalled by the number of therapists that understand

the biology of addiction, or at least I think they do,

yet they will send men to places where the first thing

they tell him is, you have no power over yourself,

you're fucked, so accept that you're fucked first of all,

and then let's go from there.

There's a whole difference between taking responsibility

for your addiction, and going like, I have no power over it.

That is some archaic, outdated bullshit.

Yeah, I said it.

It's bullshit, and I have seen more men

harmed from it than helped.

If you wanna stop being your mind's little bitch,

why would you say something to your mind

along the lines of, I am powerless.

It just means like, hey, I have no power, no resistance,

I'm your bitch, and then we'll start from there,

we'll start from ground zero.

That's just stupid, doesn't make any sense to me,

hasn't made any sense since I walked out of the first group.

All right, so, if you like this video

and you'd like to learn more about some of the coping skills

and the methods that I teach in the Porn Reboot system,

join our Facebook group.

There's a link to it in the description below.

I'm J.K., your brother in this struggle.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video,

and I'll see you on the brighter side of this journey.

Have a great day.

Easily is through a reboot.

Now, what's a reboot?

Well, it's rewiring your brain

to become a normal human being.

You know, getting back what you lost,

what you gave up during the time you struggled

with porn and masturbation,

and at Porn Reboot, I believe, and I found great success.

Really good session.

Somebody on yesterday's video,

which was the video on, can I masturbate during my recovery,

while I'm trying to quit porn, somebody asked,

can I have a girlfriend.

Depression.

On the other hand, we have a goal,

and a goal is a dream with a deadline.

That deadline makes it a commitment.

This means that is measurable, and you will know

when you've achieved your goal,

so there's no question about whether or not

you've achieved it when you get there.

Now, one of the reasons why you are unhappy

is because you are basing your journey

to what's freedom from porn and masturbation on an ideal.

✅ Uncomplicated Hair & Skin Routine for Guys - Mens Personal Care - Duration: 6:21.

(dramatic fanfare)

- Hello, guys, and welcome back to my channel.

My name's Thomas if you're brand new, and I make

style- and hair-related videos every single week,

so if that's your kinda thing,

make sure you hit the subscribe button

and come back and visit me every single Monday.

Welcome to today's video, where I'm just gonna be running

you over my brand new or updated skin and hair routine.

So if you're a low-maintenance groomer,

you're probably really gonna like this,

because I just noticed in reflection of 2018 as well

a lot of my routines are probably a little bit ambiguous

and crazy, so I've kinda dulled everything down

to just the basics of what I need, and yeah,

I'll be covering my hair routine and my skin routine

using the Tiege Hanley level three, which actually,

I've been using it since the beginning of December,

and I'm really, really impressed with it.

It's really good.

So we'll be running over that today,

and because I've teamed up with Tiege Hanley

with this video as well, you can get the 20% discount

off your first box by using this code

in the link in the description box below, okay?

So without further ado, let's get into it, and we'll start

this routine pretty much where I get out of the shower.

So straight out of the shower, I'll head to the basin

and sort of begin my skincare routine.

There's only five steps in this whole skincare routine.

Tiege Hanley takes the guess work out for you.

They've got their little pamphlet

that I've stuck on my mirror.

So when I get into this routine, the first thing I do

is just wet my face with a bit of warm water,

and then after I've done that, I'll grab the face wash,

I'll put a dollop size on there.

Then I'll scrub my face for just a couple of minutes,

rinse that off, and depending on whether it's exfoliating

day or not, I've been exfoliating twice a week.

I made sure when I filmed this video

I was doing it on exfoliating day, just so I can show

you the full extent of what I do in the routine.

And then I'll just swish that

around my face for a little while.

It smells really good.

They've got little apricot seeds

to really get in there and remove dead skin.

And it also leaves a really nice tingling sensation

on my face, which I'm really, really fond of.

It's pretty much my favourite part of the whole thing.

Then after I'm done with exfoliating,

I'll just rinse it off with the tap, warm water again,

and grab my little face cloth, give me a pat down to dry off

my skin, and then the next step is to use the super serum.

So the super serum is like a firming serum for your face.

I really like this kind of product.

I've never seen one for men before.

But all you do is use one pump, spread it around your face

evenly, and then wait for about 30 seconds for it to dry.

Then, straight after using the super serum,

it's time to do the eyes.

So again, for eyes, I just use one pump of it,

and then I'll cut that in half and then evenly distribute it

under my eyes, because my crows feet have been climbing in,

and that's why I went for the level three one as well,

because they have anti-aging properties in there,

and as I'm getting into my mid 20s,

I am starting to see some faint lines coming in.

So, things like the super serum in the eyes, they work

really, really well for this kind of thing, and I'm already,

after a couple of months, noticing a great difference.

Then after the eye treatment's done,

depending on whether it's a.m. or p.m.,

I'll use the moisturiser that they've allocated.

So they do have an a.m. moisturiser with SPF in it,

and they do have a nighttime moisturiser, which is really

nice and light, and that is skincare taken care of.

Very nice and simple, no guesswork,

and seriously, the results are really good.

My skin's been super clear and tight ever since using it,

so I'm very happy with that, and remember,

if you do wanna try out Tiege Hanley, you can do that

by visiting the link in the description box where there's

a special discount code that'll get you 20% off.

Enjoy!

So after I've done my skincare routine,

it's time to move onto hair.

Now, I did tell you that all of my routines

have been a little bit de-fluffed, and there's really

only three steps, or four steps with my hair routine.

The first thing is the head massage.

I've actually been doing

about 10 minutes of head massaging a day.

It's been proven that head massages

actually help your hair grow a lot healthier.

So by massaging the scalp, you're getting more blood flow

to the hair follicles, and they grow thicker,

fuller, faster, like, everything.

I've only been doing it for a few weeks now,

so I haven't seen any tremendous differences,

but I've been making an effort to include it.

It's like, 10 minutes of my day.

I'll go to YouTube.

I'll type in lofi, and all of these

live feeds come up with lofi music.

It's just really chill hiphop stuff.

It's amazing.

But what I do is I put the music on,

I start massaging my scalp for about 10 minutes on my bed.

So, give that a go if you're trying to grow your hair

out still, and then after I have done my head massage,

it's actually pretty funny.

When I massage my scalp for 10 minutes straight,

my hair's always quiet puffy and big.

Like, it dries out a little bit after the shower obviously,

so I'll just put my detangler spray in,

then use the comb to brush all of that liquid through,

get it all sitting down nicely again, and it's a good

opportunity as well, like, if I'm doing that daily,

I kind of get rid of all the hair fall that's coming, and I

don't have random bits of hair coming out all the time.

And then after I've sort of got my hair back

into the normal state, I'll then grab my

leave-in conditioner, put a bit of that on my hand.

I always go pretty crazy on the leave-in conditioner,

because as you guys probably know, my hair is very dry

and very frizzy, so using a leave-in conditioner

helps me kind of control that a little bit.

And then I'll use a bit of argan oil on top of that,

just for extra smoothness, and depending on how humid

the day is as well, I've really taken a liking

to just putting some flaxseed gel in my hair.

It really helps me kind of contain

that curl without it going crazy.

I won't use it on a day that's not really humid

and where my hair's prone to being frizzy,

but that's pretty much it.

And then after I've completed my hair routine,

I'll simply just put it up in a bun, or I'll style it,

depending on whether, like, what I wanna do for that day.

If I just wanna go cas and easy, I'll just tie it up wet,

wait for it to dry, and then if I wanna style an updo

or straighten it or whatever, I'll obviously spend

the extra half an hour doing that, and that's literally it.

That's like, my routine, done.

And to be honest, taking away all those other steps,

like using the Super Nova stuff and just different products

that I thought were necessary, they're really not.

Just take it back and make it a lot simpler,

because life is better when it's simpler.

I've got a million things to do, and if I can make

my grooming all nice and easy, then I'm all for it.

So, I hope you guys found that really useful.

If you have a different way of doing

all of your skin and hair, make sure you

let me know in the comments section below.

Let me know how the style of your year's going.

I can't believe we're near the end of January already.

It's kinda ticking my so fast.

I don't even know where time goes, you know?

But yeah, overall, I really hope you enjoyed this video.

I hope you got some great ideas, and again,

if you wanna try out the Tiege Hanley range,

you can get 20% off your first box by using the code

ThomasINAction in the link in the description box, okay?

I really hope you have a good day, have a good week,

and I'll see you next Monday for another video.

My phone just went off.

(Thomas laughs) Bye!

Royal Az - Meghan Markle's 'tacky' family have 'reduced royals to Jerry Springer Show' - Duration: 3:10.

 A royal expert says Meghan Markle's family are "tacky" and has likened them to "the Jerry Springer Show"

 Duncan Larcombe claimed the controversy generated by the Duchess of Sussex's outspoken father and half-siblings has been bad for the royals

 The journalist, who has authored Prince Harry: The Inside Story,  made the comments on Yahoo's Royal Box series

 He said: "They have reduced the commentary of the Royal Family to something from the Jerry Springer Show, you know it's tacky

"  However, the former royal correspondent reserved praise for Meghan's mum Doria Ragland

 "She's maintained a dignified silence, she has done everything right," he explained

 The biographer also revealed Prince Harry and Prince William are very protective of untrue stories being written about their other halves

 He said: "I've found that with Harry and William as well, that if you write a story about them that's true, and that's fair, they don't have a problem with it

 "Where they start getting angry or defensive is when you get something wrong, they're also very, very defensive of their other halves

 "As it turns out it was the best thing that could have happened to them, this wild and rebellious prince has now become the jewel in the crown of the British Royal Family

"  Earlier this week, it was claimed Meghan and Kate Middleton's reported feud has been ended thanks to an intervention by Prince Charles

 The pair's relationship has been under some strain in recent months following a number of 'frosty' public engagements

 Princess Diana biographer and royal expert Robert Jobson says Prince Charles 'knocked heads together' over Christmas in a bid to halt the disagreement between the duchesses

 He told Sunrise earlier this week: "I think there's no smoke without fire.  "I do think it has been blown up a little bit but there have obviously been a few problems between the two ladies and even between the two princes

   "There's some truth in the rumours. I'm sure at Christmas Prince Charles was knocking heads together and you can see that by those photographs of them all walking together in a line

 "But they looked like they had been pushed together in a line, to be honest."

The Best App For Selling Merch At Your Shows! - Duration: 17:27.

Hey everyone! James here from The Better Band Bureau,

and I discovered something really interesting

while I was doing research for

my upcoming workshop which is called

Merchandise In The Modern Music Industry.

That's on January 30th,

Wednesday night that is

and it is at 8:00p.m.

Eastern Time.

So if you're interested in earning more money from merchandise

and really pumping that income

stream to its greatest potential, definitely

check that out. There'll be a link in the comments

or description below for you to look.

But so what was going on as I was

researching for this is there are some apps

for tracking merchandise that I've used before

I wanted to see if there were any that

had popped up since I had last done research

on this and since I had last compared

apps.

And what I did find is that there's a new player

called Merch Cat

and they have an interesting offer.

They're much cheaper than some

of the other competition including the

main player out there right now who I'll go

over in the workshop on Wednesday.

This one, Merch Cat,

they have pretty good pricing.

It's $7.99 per month

or $84.99 per year.

And that comes with inventory tracking

both at your shows

and in your warehouse

or storage area which is pretty awesome.

That's a big deal there because you're able to have

the two separate inventories

and transfer things back

and forth. What really caught my eye about

Merch Cat though, was that they have

a fan store.

So the tracking app that

you use when you're at your shows selling merch

will also double as an online

store for your merch where people can place

orders for you to ship it to them

or they can preorder it

and pick up the items at a show.

Which, that's something new, that's something unique

that I don't think I've ever seen before.

So I'm really excited about that,

And I wanted to take a look at the app.

I'm going to sign up for it right now I've never

done this before with Merch Cat

and see how it goes see how easy it

is and you can follow along.

I'm going to do it on my phone they do have a web site as you can see.

This is the main website that they have,

which is basically a pitch for their product,

and they have the Merch Cat Fan website.

Let's click on fan

and then they tell

you about the app, basically.

I'm kind of disappointed

that they don't have an online store,

that you can only as a fan buy through

the app, but it's still cool that they have

the app in the first place

and maybe they will have online stores

in the future and maybe that's just a feature

that I'm not currently seeing

and they do have it,

It's just not on the main page.

But anyway to

get back to checking this out

we're going to sign up for Merch Cat

on my phone right here.

Let's see how it goes.

Create a free account

artist name.

Well I'm not representing an artist right now

so I'll put in my own

name as if I'm a solo act

So that was far as I could get without paying

to use the app.

But I reached out to Vanessa who runs

Merch Cat

and had a great chat

with her about the app

and she showed me some of the features.

And she also gave me a

code so I could sign in to the app

and do this video for you guys

and show you how it works as well.

So I'm really grateful to Vanessa over

at Merch Cat, I think she has a really great product

here and I'm excited to show it to all of you!

From this point on it's no longer my reaction

to the app because Vanessa was kind

enough to give me a demo

via screen share so I could

understand better how the app works.

But now I do have a better idea of what

to show you because I can see what is

most important to you.

So I think this will be a more concise video overall

than it would have been if I was just exploring the app

while I was shooting.

So without further ado I'm going to cut back to the video

I shot the other day on how to use the app.

If you have any questions just leave a comment below

or go to the Merch Cat website

and reach out to Vanessa.

She's really nice and I'm sure she'll help you out

with any questions you might have.

And again thanks so much for watching.

I'm going to continue the demo now.

First of all, in the lower right

is the menu button. Hit profile

and there you can see I changed the artist name

to Reel Big Fish, just because I realized

for the show import from Bandsintown,

it has to be an actual artist.

Obviously I'm not gonna sell any items as Reel Big Fish,

but I just needed to put in something for

example purposes.

And, the subscription is active

because Vanessa the developer was kind

enough to give me a demo of

the app so I can show you how

it works which I think is really awesome.

And then I enabled

Square point of sale.

So that's that for the

basic account settings.

Then, if you go to Merch Cat Fan,

this is where you would set up anything

to do with the Merch Cat Fan app which

is where fans can purchase merchandise in advance

and pick it up at the show

or it's a webstore in app form

and they can purchase merch

and you ship it to them.

Both are very very cool ideas

I think because it all integrates to one system

and it means you don't have to track two separate inventories

which I think is really good because the

DIY artist has enough on their plate.

You don't have to have more. So to start,

you just slide over use Merch Cat Fan,

and then you'd connect to Square to receive payments.

You tap it

and it will ask you to sign in.

Once it loads which I'm not going to do right now

because I'm not going to be selling anything

I had already enabled ship to home home,

it's disabled by default.

Then you enter your address to enable

shipping

and then once you've done all that you can enter your social media

links and your website.

Which means that fans can find all of

those when they're in the Merch Cat Fan

app so they can stay connected

with you. And then you tap update profile.

Now going back to the main screen,

we're going to add some inventory.

So you tap inventory,

and you add an item.

I'm going to say it's a t-shirt

but since I don't have a picture of a t-shirt I'm

gonna add a picture of my dog.

He's awesome.

And we're going to call it dog t-shirt.

There you go.

The price let's call it 15.

The cost. This is the cost of the

item. So if it costs you $4.50

you'd put in $4.50 which

is known as the cost of goods sold.

The SKU is optional, we can leave that out.

But we do need to put it in category since this is a T-shirt,

we'll put it in as apparel.

And then it's going to ask what it is,

so we're gonna say it's unisex

and this is a medium.

Now when we get to count there's a few things

to watch out for.

Count, the top one, is

the total amount of this item you

have in stock.

No matter where it is whether it's in your

basement, your warehouse, your garage

on the road with you, wherever it is.

So let's say this is a fresh batch

and we had one hundred printed

so we have one hundred

but we're just doing a quick weekend tour.

We're not going to sell that much,

so we only took 20 with us.

The show quantity will come in later that doesn't

really matter for now.

But you might be wondering, "well what about

other shirt sizes?"

What you do is you hit save and duplicate

and then you can fill in the item again,

but you add in

gender

and size. We'll put in large this time.

The count we'll again put one hundred

and 20

and then we hit save.

Now obviously you could do that for every single shirt size,

but I'm just adding two for the sake of example.

So, that's how you add inventory.

You hit back and you're now at the main screen again.

Now that you know how to add inventory,

it's time to add your first show.

So you tap on shows.

And you tap add.

And you have two options: you can use Bandsintown,

or you can add a show manually.

I'm just going to go with Bandsintown.

Reel Big Fish has some shows,

I'm going to add tomorrow's show at The Blue Note

click submit

and there's the Blue Note in Columbia, MO,

And when you open it up

you have the option to start store.

But we're going to hold off on that for just a second.

When you import shows from Bandsintown, it adds

the venue information.

But it does not add the street name

a street address. Just city,

zip code and state.

So you want to add that information

if it matters to you.

Which if you're reporting

to Soundscan through another application

then you do need that information.

In addition, if you're using Soundscan

you need to fill in the contact email

and phone as well as their name.

That's the venue representative

who will sign off to vouch that, yes

this has been sold on this date.

I don't care about that stuff since this is just an example

and I'm not going to be reporting my sales

So I just hit save.

Now that I've gone over the address

with you and we're back on the main page

for the show we're, going to enable road

merch only which tracks

inventory separately so it knows that you're deducting

from the road merch rather than

the warehouse merch.

You can add the hall fee which

is the venue's percentage

and it sucks

but unfortunately a lot of venues do take

a hall fee.

The app does give you the opportunity to split

it into different percentages for merch

and music because many venues do charge

separate fees depending on what

item you're selling.

So let's say they take 20 percent

of merch

but only 10 percent of music

and then we tap save.

It bounces us back to that main page,

but now we're ready to go

ahead and start selling.

So you tap the show,

then you tap start store.

I'm not going to enable this right now because I'm not actually

selling anything.

Now we have our count in

and we're fresh on the tour so we know 20

of each is accurate,

that's our count.

Or pretend I just counted all 40 shirts right now

and we're all set on that.

Proceed to confirm.

And now I can sell.

So let's say I sell

one medium dog T-shirt.

Add it to cart, go to checkout

and hit take payment.

Now it's bouncing over to Square because

in the settings I had enabled

Square. You could also enable PayPal

or cash only.

You do have to make sure that you're signed into the

Square app before it tries to

bounce over to Square, otherwise it won't load properly.

Now I'm not gonna swipe a card because I don't want to charge myself.

I'm just gonna put in cash

and I'm going to say they gave me

twenty dollars

and tender

it'll say five dollars change

and does the person want a receipt? They don't want a receipt.

I hand them their change

and there we go.

Now it says complete, I've been paid fifteen

dollars.

That's how fast it is to sell items

with this app. I love it.

One last thing I want to show you about

the sales section is how you can

do discounts or comps.

For example, you're doing buy one get

one free

you add two of the item

you go to check out

and you can just adjust the price in the

cart right there

and set it to fifteen dollars

instead of 30 because it's buy one get one free!

Take payment go in I'm going

to do cash and this time I'll do exact because

it's easier.

No thanks to the receipt,

and that's it. We're done with selling.

Now, if you at the end of the night

looking to close down your shop

you hit the X in the upper left

and tap stop store.

Yes I'm sure I want to stop the store

and then it offers an inventory count out.

I know that my numbers are accurate because they're made

up, but you might want to actually count

and make sure that you're not missing anything.

Let's say we did count

and we found that for the large,

wes we did sell two of those

and we have 18 left but for the medium we only sold

one...

But we also only have 18 left.

So I tap adjust

and change the number.

And that's how we account for our losses.

Then I confirm,

and it generates the report for

this show.

One last thing I want to show you is how

the reports in the app work.

So from the main screen you tap on reports

and then you can see here all the items

sold for the current month,

three months, six months, nine

months, one year,

or since you created the account.

So I'm just gonna go back to current month,

and you'll see here there are quite a

few more items sold than in the demo.

But, that's because I was fooling around

the app testing it, seeing what

I could do.

And you will see at the current inventory

I have ninety six medium

and ninety six large shirts

of the dog t-shirt

then in the upper left the green menu button

if we tap the shopping cart this will let

us see the breakdown of each of our individual

shows.

So I go to info

and see the artist information

and the venue information, as well as the date.

Then there are three separate reports

and these are very important to understand.

The artist report includes all

sales for the show.

This means that it includes pre-sales

and any purchases fans made at

the venue but asked to be shipped

to their home.

The venue report does not include

the pre-sales

and shipped to home sales, because the

venue should not be taking a cut

out of those sales.

This is where the hall fee comes in

and you can see that on the shirts that were sold

the venue took 15 percent which means

they took four dollars

and 50 cents out of the 30 dollars

gross profit.

This means that the artist kept twenty five

dollars and 50 cents.

You can see the breakdown here,

that one medium was sold for 15

dollars. The Buy One Get One Free

that we did the two large were for $7.50

each, which works out the same.

And then the loss we reported

was for zero.

And it's quantity negative one.

Scrolling a little further down, the venue

representative and the artist representative.

This is where you'd have the venue representatives

sign to verify your SoundScan sales.

Going back up.

We have the inventory report.

This is where you can see what you have left

of each item.

You counted in with 18 of each.

We adjusted negative one for the medium because

it was lost and we sold one medium

and we sold two large.

Leaving us with 16 of each

and three items total sold.

Just going back to the main menu.

That's about it for Merch Cat basics.

Now I want to make it clear that even though I was in communication

with Vanessa the founder

and CEO of Merch Cat she

did not ask me to promote this application.

I had reached out proactively to her.

I'm not getting any sort of affiliate deal

I am making nothing from talking

about this application.

It's just something that I stand behind.

I think it fills a large gap

in the industry between top

tier apps like atVenu

which are very expensive

and have lots of features that the average person

just doesn't need.

And other smaller apps that

they work but they're not great.

This app, Merch Cat, has a lot

of great features that I think everyone should have

and I really love the Merch Cat Fan

app that goes with it to

run your web store through an app

and allow preorders of merch

at your shows.

I just think that's an absolutely wonderful idea

and I fully support it.

Having spoken with Vanessa I know

she is 100 percent there for the artist.

She wants to talk to people

and learn their stories.

She wants to help people,

and I think that's really great

and that's something that we need more of in this industry.

And I also think that from what I've seen of the

app, this is honestly something I

would use.

The other apps I've tried some of them including

atVenu

and others

and they do what they're supposed to do

but not as easily

and efficiently as Merch Cat does.

So I encourage you to check out

the Merch Cat website,

the link will be down below in the description.

And if you have any questions, reach out to me

or reach out to Vanessa.

I'm sure she would be happy to help

you. And of course even though I have

limited experience with the app I

did get the demo training

and I've been using it today to shoot

this video and I think it's something that's really

cool so I will try to

help you if I can as well.

Now if you want to learn more about Merchandise

In The Modern Music Industry, I have a workshop

on that very topic.

It's about how you as an artist in 2019

can make money off of merchandise

and use it to help your career

go from a hobby musician to

full time.

So I think you should check that out as well

if you're serious about making this your career.

It's on Wednesday January 30th

at 8p.m. Eastern Time, which is 5p.m.

Pacific, and that will also be in the link

below. And just because you watched this video

I'm going to give you a discount

code for ten dollars off of that workshop.

So I really hope to see you there.

There are very limited seats left,

so I hope you get your ticket

soon and I hope to see you there.

Thank you so much for watching

and I hope you have a wonderful day.
