To travel or to not travel alone?
That is the question.
I didn't have any skull with me, so I had to use this rubber ball, but anyways,
what is the...
But anyways, what are the advantages of traveling alone?
What are the challenges that you will find in your path if you decide to do so?
In this video
I will share some of my experiences
and some of my stories of traveling alone that may help you to do so.
I will break this video into two sections:
one, explaining the pros and cons of
traveling alone,
and this is of course my opinion and the trips I did by myself;
the second section is more practical one, in a way,
and it is related to what you take with you in your trip, more specifically
your luggage
and your backpack itself.
Starting about the pros and cons of traveling alone. Well, the first con is:
you are alone, so if any
problem appears
it's up to you.
And for example with me, on my first trip to Europe,
I was running really low in money,
so I didn't book any hotel or hostel before going. So, I would arrive into a city,
and I would have to find a place to stay
the day I was
on the fly.
And it was high season,
so all the hotels or hostels
were almost full. And I would walk, and walk, and walk
trying to find a place to stay, a place to sleep, and I wouldn't find it.
And, at the time,
smartphones weren't so common. To access Internet, I had to go to a LAN house, which was
quite a challenge. And there is this thing, when you are alone in a country,
and you don't have a place to stay.
It's
kind of daunting
and it's a really specific pressure,
but really big one, I felt.
But I had to deal with it without anyone to share. I imagine that if I had someone with me
the weight of this process of me trying to find a place to stay would be lighter.
I remember once, for example, in Paris,
I
didn't find a place to stay, and it was 7 p.m., and I was walking like
crazy in the streets trying to find a hotel or a hostel,
someplace I could sleep. I eventually found one
really
cheap, dirty,
terrible,
but it was the only room available,
so I had to get it. And as I said, if you have someone with you,
every single problem it appears
you have someone to share. It's more comfortable to be with someone.
So, this is a con of traveling alone.
A pro, you meet more people.
Since you are alone, you don't have a
person to talk with, and thus you have to be more open,
and talk to people on the trains, on the museums, whatever you go. I don't know,
maybe it's because our nature to try to connect with the other,
but when you are traveling alone, you will expose yourself more.
If you are shy or whatever,
you will do more things, I don't know if it's the magic of traveling.
So you can meet more people,
and these
encounters, they may
give you different experiences. Maybe you found
another tourist, so you guys can talk about
life, your countries. Maybe you meet a
person from the country,
so you can know more about the costumes of the place.
Meeting more people is for sure a good side of traveling alone.
Now, another con is that you may feel alone sometimes
Like, for example, me, I remember one day I was going to visit the Colosseum
and I don't know, I just got there and I felt so lonely.
I have no idea why, but I felt really lonely on that day.
And I think this is something that may happen to you, because even if you meet more people
usually they will not be with you all the time.
Since you are in a different country, and you don't know
anyone and you don't know even the places itself, being or having this feeling of being
alone is
definitely something that may happen.
For me it wasn't anything
great, it went away, but it's something that
might happen to you.
And another pro is that you can go wherever you want to go.
If you are with another person,
you have to decide with this person where you guys want to go,
and it might not be the place you want to go.
So, being alone
you have this
complete freedom to go where you want and to do whatever you want at your time.
If you tired, you stop. You don't have to agree with another person, it's you and you alone.
Now, a small tip for traveling alone.
You
kinda need to know the language,
because you don't have someone that could support you in
communicating with the natives. So, it's all in your
shoulders, the responsibility to communicate, and to do things like get a train, or order a meal.
So, knowing the language is really important. You don't have to know the language perfectly,
but it needs to be on the "so so" level at least.
Of course, the better it is, the better your experience
will be. And this is one thing really important, if you're planning to travel to someplace,
try to study the language, and if you know it
learn it better. The better you know, the better your whole experience will be.
And now about your luggage.
Well, this is an interesting topic,
and you have to decide a few things and how far you are willing to
accept some
sacrifices. Of course, if you have a lot of money, it doesn't matter,
just take whatever you want with you.
But if you don't have a lot of money, or
you want to
feel more free in your trip,
then I would recommend you to take as little as luggage as you can.
In my case, on my last trip to England,
I took with me everything I could, in a way. So, I took two
backpacks. I didn't like it too much,
it's more clunky to travel with a lot of bags. Again, if you need for whatever you're going to
your trip, then it's fine. But if you're going to discover the country,
then I would recommend less bags.
On my first trip to Europe, I
brought with me one single backpack, and it's more or less the size of
this one.
It's not big at all, and
this was the only backpack I took with me.
It was kinda crazy, but I have a few things in my favour.
The first one is that was summer, so you don't have to carry
big coats and, you know, extra pants, socks. And the idea was pretty simple,
The least things I carry with me,
the more free I am to go whatever I want to go.
The thing I said about money is if you have money, you can just
call a cab, and throw your stuff in there, and that's it. But if you are in a tight budget,
then you might consider this
small version of luggage. But it comes with a fill challenges,
one, in my example: I took with me only three shirts,
three underwears and three socks,
counting the ones I were wearing at the time.
So, I had my clothes that I was wearing and I had two spares.
The thing is every night I had to wash something.
So, I would arrive to a hotel and just wash
some clothes. Again, for me it wasn't too much a big deal, but it may be for you.
The second thing is you will sacrifice in fashion.
So, if you want to be the best look tourists,
maybe this option is not for you.
Again, since you are carrying so little stuff with you,
you're not carrying the fashion things possible. You're carrying what works,
something for cold, something for warm and some extra. Oh, and bring pajamas, I forgot so yeah,
an
extra challenge. Or for example,
my backpack was so full that I didn't have space for any shaving equipment.
So,
when I needed to shave I would go to a supermarket and I would buy a really cheap razor.
So, yeah, those were some of my experiences and tips for you if you want to travel alone.
I would say it's really good.
You grow as a person a lot.
Being alone and not having a single person to count on... You have to do things by yourself.
And thus, you have to grow, in a way. And I could say that I changed a lot
after the trip, quite
significant change.
So, yeah, maybe next trip you can think about going alone.
It's not easy and maybe it will not be the
perfect
trip that you ever imagined without any difficulties or challenges
quite the opposite, but
nevertheless will be an experience that you will remember forever, and that will
tailor you in a way,
really deep, and
meaningful way.

Man wins lottery 14 times with clever and legal formula - this is how he did it - Duration: 3:33.
</form> We've all imagined what we would do with all of that money if we won the lottery
Whether you'd buy a house or go on holiday, unfortunately winning that life-changing sum depends on dumb luck for the vast majority of us
Not for Stefan Mandel - a Romanian economist who, struggling to make ends meet, came up with a genius solution to his problems: winning the lottery
The maths whizz discovered a clever way of winning that meant he could start a new life - and it didn't involve breaking the law at the time
Jackpot. He spent AGES poring over mathematical theories, and after years of research, he wrote a "number-picking algorithm" based on a method he called "combinatorial condensation" - The Hustle reported
Using his method, Stefan claimed he could accurately predict five of the six winning numbers
This reduced the number of possible combinations in a lottery from millions to mere thousands
With friends, he took a huge risk and purchased large blocks of lottery tickets with the combinations his formula has deemed to be most likely - and won first prize
The jackpot sum was 78,783 Romanian lei - nearly £15,000. After paying off his expenses, Stefan walked away with around £3,000
It was enough to start a new life abroad and try his formula again. Stefan persuaded a pool of investors to put their cash together to build a lotto syndicate and invented a clever system where computers filled out tickets automatically using every possible number combo
They won 12 lotteries and thousands of smaller prizes across Australia and the UK
Unsurprisingly, lottery authorities cottoned onto the scheme, and changed rules to ban computer-printed forms and bulk buying tickets
Stefan had a back-up plan. He used his profits to place clued-up scouts around the US so he could determine which lottery would be a good bet for his next scheme
He set his sights on Virginia because its numbers only ranged between one and 44, which meant the total number of possible combinations was far lower than others - increasing his chances of winning the big bucks
He set up an official company, Pacific Financial Resources, persuaded investors to pour in the required cash and employed 16 people from a warehouse in Melbourne to print millions of tickets
They won the jackpot and plenty of other smaller prizes. Stefan pushed his luck too far after that win - and failed at setting up a lottery system in Gibraltar, filing bankruptcy in 1995
He served a 20 month prison sentence in Israel for an investment scam. Read More Top Stories from Mirror Online All US states have since passed laws banning the use of Stefan's zany strategy
"I'm a man who takes risks, but in a calculated way," he told the Romanian paper Bursa in 2012
"Trimming my beard is a lottery: There is always the possibility that I'll cut myself, get an infection in my blood, and die — but I do it anyway," he said
"The chances are in my favour."

If it is all illusion, where is the fun? Eckhart Tolle - Duration: 31:10.
hello Kidada hiya card hi Oprah how are
you do I and your question okay my
question is this book hits me really
really deep in my heart and I know it to
be the truth but I have such resistance
and I feel like if everything in form is
an illusion
it feels really disenchanting and I'm
going to point in my life where I have
goals I'm excited about my career I want
to have kids I want to meet a great
partner and if it's all illusion where
is the fun there's aha you are not meant
to believe that all is illusion or at
your it as a stage in your life where
you can simply enjoy the play of form
eventually you will come to a point as
every human does worthy the forms in
your life and no longer are completely
satisfying they leave in certain
emptiness they leave of frustration but
you haven't reached that point yet it's
fine in the meantime you enjoy your life
be as present as you can which means
don't project yourself continuously into
some future moment and promise you more
and greater fulfillment but if if that
happens and if you can't help it that's
fine too but why not enjoy this moment
as it is really that's all you can do
this is not to take the joy out of life
it's to really deepen the way in which
you live rather than living on the
surface of things and expecting
fulfillment through super relatively
superficial things Oh
going deeper to a place where true joy
resides I know I think that's a good
question though that you erase Kidada
especially I've heard this from a lot of
people your age who say so now where is
ambition ambition is ambition my ego
good question you want to hit career
strides you want to see things happen
you're excited to meet somebody you're
gonna have a baby that you're gonna be
madly in love with and then I hear that
carts voice and I have from
my ego remember that its form and it
just kind of makes me feel a little
unexcited but I guess it's about being
in the moment so no there comes a point
when you can see the truth of this very
clearly in your own life until you can
see the truth of it very clearly in your
own life in your own life the the book
remained on the conceptual level and so
I wouldn't say that there's anything in
the book that you should believe in
mm-hmm if the book works for you the
truth of it is immediately recognized
like in build who we talked to earlier
the truth of it is immediately
recognized and there's a sense of ah yes
but at 20 I would not have understood
the truth in this book I had ambitions I
wanted to become a great professor I
wanted to be seen as to be successful I
wanted to show to the world I can make
it so I was working hard if at that
point I had write this book I would have
said the same as you I don't want this
right now I don't need this mm-hmm the
book really as long as you feel that you
don't really need it it's fine you
should carry on with what you're doing
even here saying she doesn't need it I
think I totally need it I hope this book
is real and true and I'm actually
turning 34 in a week so it's really
really really important for me to figure
out how to integrate consciousness into
this next chapter I want to approach it
in a very conscious way but there's
still probably a little part of me a lot
a part of me that's gripping on to the
form I live in Los Angeles I'm in a
business where a forum is at the
forefront it's kind of a hard balance
I'm just wondering how do you reap the
fruits and not identify to the forum
yes forms you can enjoy the forms and
you can really only truly enjoy the
forms if you are not completely
identified with the forms because if you
are completely identified with the forms
there's always an element of fear that
the form might leave you you move the
situation that you have whatever the
form I'd leave you or it will suddenly
the form will no longer be satisfying so
it's the
to the forum doesn't really mean that
you enjoy it the attachment to the forum
produces negativity and produces fear
around it around your life situation
it's doing a Kidada what I said I think
on an earlier class it's like especially
in Los Angeles you know great fun fun
city city of the Angels there it's like
being able to be in the world but not of
it yes yes in the world but not of it
yes and a lot of that the attachment is
less likely to be there the more present
you are with any life experience you're
more present you are in the moment and
you are not you're not attached the
attachment needs future needs more looks
to the future either as a threat or hope
so
be as present as you can in every
situation in your life in every moment
in your life yeah and what you were
talking about I think in one of the
future chapters about being able to be
present with your children instead of
just sort of going through the motions
with your children being present with
your children
hey Kidada great to see you on skype
okay let's go to our study group who's
watching our webcast at borders on
Michigan Avenue in Chicago hi everybody
I hear Jaime is there and has a question
yes hi Oprah hi Eckhart right my name is
Jaime my question is on page 83 you
mentioned how Fame especially is such a
downfall for the ego and I'm just
wondering
Oprah how you managed to keep everything
so grounded oh I've been meaning to ask
you that too really
oh thanks for bringing that up Jaime how
do I manage to keep everything so
grounded I can think I believe that I'm
not attached to the fame I don't know
that to be true since I have been quote
famous for most of my adult life but I
believe that I really am that what I do
comes from such a you know I consider
myself blessed and I get I'm blessed
because I
you have acquired Fame and attention and
money by being myself that's it
you don't play roles yeah I start I
don't have to be anybody other than
myself and so and that's very rare on
television almost everybody is playing a
role right and your success is due to
the fact that you are yourself the same
person outside television as you are
here in the studio so and really that's
can apply apply to anybody the more
you're truly yourself and not playing
roles the more powerful you are the ego
tells you you need to play some role but
your true power lies in not playing a
role I will say this when I first
started television I was a news reporter
and never was satisfied I always felt
that I was exploiting people that my
whole day but was based around finding
the worst story possible to report and
also I was an anchorwoman and something
would happen
Jamie when the light would come on like
on this camera there's a little red
light on and all of a sudden I'd be like
talking like I am now and the light
would come on and I would suddenly go
into my news woman anchor voice and and
play the role of the news woman anchor
person that I thought I was supposed to
be and one night I was reading some copy
that I hadn't pre read and I was naming
a lot of countries and Canada was in the
list and I called Canada Canada and I
started cracking myself up that I said
did I just call Canada Canada and that
was the breakthrough moment for me on
television that was the breakthrough
moment where I was able for just a you
know few seconds break through the wall
of my facade as an anchorwoman who knows
all of the different countries and in
Canada that moment was such a funny
moment for me I couldn't stop laughing
and started the process of me being able
to be myself on the air that first
little glimpse of it so did you have a
question for Eckhart with all you know
this webcast and beam on Oprah obviously
you've come into incredible Fame and I'm
didn't ask you the question because this
has been what you've been preaching
since
you know since you wrote the power of
now but do you anticipate are you just
completely self actualized you don't
expect this to be a problem or to come
in to play for you at all now ya know
this is so funny
Amy Gross who's the editor of O Magazine
who's also a pretty centered person we
were talking about at cards did an
article for us from a conversation that
we had earlier in O Magazine and I'm a
issue and so we were talking about a
card coming for the first session a
couple weeks ago she says won't we all
be surprised if Eckhart comes in in a
fur hat and three pounds of bling
wearing sunglasses entourage walks in
and go yo what's up no I don't think
it's affected him because this is so
funny when I first called that card
months ago Monson month I don't even
know how long ago it was to tell Eckhart
that I was going to be choosing a new
earth as our book club selection I think
it's our 61st selection or whatever he
was very he was so calm about it later
one of the producer says what did you
call him did you call him and I said
yeah I called him and he said what was
he excited and I said I think for him
that was excitement so anyway I don't
think it's gone to his head yet and I
and listen so far no bling this happens
then you'll know the ego has come back
let me know I won't know it if it's
where that car comes in wearing two
earrings I'll let you know okay let's
see thank you so much Jamie and all the
group from borders thank you for being
there every week let's see some of the
email questions you've been sending
during our class on our computer screen
here this is Melissa from Crab Orchard
West Virginia
she says she's being awakened with worry
my sister's addicted to drugs she's been
through rehab to no avail every day we
worry about her we fear she may die if
she continues my question is this how
can we live awaken with this major major
distraction in our lives that's good
well the first thing you need to take
responsibility for your own life and
your own state of consciousness rather
than thinking your primary
responsibility is your sister's life and
your sister state of consciousness it's
not the case you have to start with
yourself change can only begin with
yourself so are you taking
responsibility for your own state of
consciousness rather than believing
unconsciously that of course you're
worried and there's nothing else you can
do you have to look at the what you call
the worry in yourself
the continuous mind activity that dwells
on negativity see if you can enter that
state of acceptance or presence and just
be with yourself I recommend to get out
of the mind go into the body several
times a day and connect with the feeling
of aliveness within for yourself so that
the worry the worry pretends worry is
part of the ego it's the it's the
compulsion to think incessantly and it
serves no purpose because it doesn't get
you anywhere it's similar to the
complaining it has no useful purpose
it's not it doesn't bring about change
in any situation no matter how much you
worry it's never the worry that brings
about any change in the situation the
mind may tell you you need to worry
because it has some purpose it doesn't
so the the essential thing is that you
get out of that unconscious habit of
continuous worrying so find a little bit
of peace in yourself first to start with
and it may be more than a little bit of
peace but start with a little is there
is there any P peace in you underneath
this country
newest mental noise that we call worry
is there anything else in you and you
have to find that you can only be of
true service to your sister you can only
be of truly truly be an agent for change
in this world if something has changed
in your state of consciousness otherwise
you contribute to the turmoil
so find through meditating through
bringing awareness to the present moment
as much as possible through bringing
awareness into the inner body as much
possible get out of the mind and enter
presence and realize the mind may tell
you this is you're not helping your
sister this is the beginning why you may
may be able to truly be of help to
somebody else because the only thing you
can do is really help yourself yes
that's right yes but the mind tells you
I have to save my sister yes and that's
them and what you're saying is that is
not necessarily true no it's ultimately
your sister is also responsible it
doesn't mean that one human being cannot
help another but you what is essential
and when we asked whether you can be of
help or not to another human being is is
there something in you that can bring
about change in the consciousness of
another human being unless some change
has happened inside you it can't happen
and but this may talk more generally
about worry if this is the problem for
many many people they wake up in the
middle of the night worrying during the
day they go about worrying about this or
that what does it mean to worry what
does it mean it means there is
unconscious mind movement projecting
itself usually into future and you see
how dreadful the future is going to be
what's going to happen you see outcomes
that are negative many things of course
I'm never going to happen
but wory pretends to be necessary
you have to say very clearly Mary
pretends to be necessary you have to say
that it serves no useful purpose
yeah worry pretend to be necessary yes
it serves no useful prayer and so once
you see that it serves no useful purpose
you can sometimes be maybe able to step
out of that and see oh and then become
present yeah you can become present if
you can step out of the worry for a
moment you can become present and enough
enough to say what can I do now how can
I be now in this moment yes for myself
for my sister for whatever it is you
need yes and the greatest gift you can
give to somebody especially somebody who
is suffering like a sister when you are
with them what is your state of
consciousness are you able to bring
presence when you connect with your with
your sister or any other human being
that you want to help can you be present
with them can you give them space to be
that's the healing healing act healing
you can be an agent for healing of
another not in the sense that I am going
to heal you not believe that would be
eager gonna say I'm going to heal you
know simply be there as a conscious
space of presence not not wanting to do
anything just being there as a conscious
presence with another person it's very
hard for people yes I understand it's
very hard time that's why we call it the
shift or move the shift yeah yeah and I
recognize how hard as I'm reading this
book now that from a guess is coming on
the show called beautiful boy you might
have heard of it it's the story of the
father the father and the son both wrote
a book together it's going to be on The
Oprah Show later and his son was an
addict for many years and very difficult
for parents especially and as in this
case Melissa a sister to a drug addict
to stand by and watch somebody daily
attempt to kill themselves through drugs
yeah yes okay so and but acceptance is
also an important part but it's at the
moment you need to accept resisting it
yes it's not bringing the resistance
always into the relationship because
whatever you fight you strengthen and
why
you resist persists yes that's at the
top of page 75 yes
whatever you fight you strengthen and
what you resist persists why is that
because that's how the by opposing you
bring this world what works in terms of
polarities so if you strengthen one
polarity you immediately strengthen the
other that's physics physics yes
exactly the same physics okay you say
cuz these days you frequently hear the
expression the war against that or this
or that and whenever you hear that you
know that it's condemned to failure
there's a war against drugs it's crime
the war against terrorism against cancer
against poverty and so on and despite
the war against all of these things
everything every one of those things is
bigger than ever that's right that's
right because what you fight you
strengthen and what you resist persists
yes and then the implication of course
is there is another way of dealing with
things with situations and that is to
make peace with it make peace with it
and then action take action the action
thing comes out of a different state of
consciousness the action comes out of
present resons
not it's no longer reaction yeah it
comes out of presence and not out of you
being defensive about it that's right I
got it and the action is much more
powerful and effective when it's not
defensive and not negative we have Dana
from Monrovia Liberia on the phone hello
hello Oprah hello Eckhart hi it's Donna
hi Donna how are you oh we're happy to
talk to Monrovia hello oh thank you your
questions I go ahead yeah go ahead
my question thank you my question has to
do with non reaction in relationships
would it be the same to say that the
opposite of love is not hate but rather
indifference considering if one makes
that situation not a personal one
okay that's your question yes I don't
fully understand the question don't
leave Donna reading go ahead
concerning I'm turning non-reaction
uh-huh
would it be the same to say that the
opposite of love is not hate but rather
indifference now do you mean that non
reaction is indifference correct that's
what I'm asking oh I pick you lolly if
if one doesn't take it in a negative
context okay I'm not letting this
consume one okay well non reaction means
that you recognize when another human
being displays some form of ego behavior
wants to be right I want you to be wrong
or accuse this year if they saw that
whatever many kinds the ego manifests in
many different ways do you recognize
that that is its ego and you don't react
to it which means you don't confuse this
behavior with who that human being is it
means you allow the ego to be there
without fighting that behavior for
example I had to happen some years ago
it's an interesting example I had a
plumber come in to do some repair my
place
he was extremely aggressive and rude the
plumber the plumber and I I treated him
as if he were a noble guests very polite
and said explained what needs to be done
because I recognized that perhaps he had
been trapped in this pattern for years
maybe it started with childhood when
when everybody around him was rude to
him so there was a deep-seated pattern
of of rudeness and unpleasant behavior
and of regarding other people as enemies
and I didn't react because I recognized
that as a dysfunction
him the boss wasn't him at all so I
simply accepted his behavior and Punjab
this needs to be done unless after 20
minutes he was changed completely he was
suddenly said thank you for the first
time perhaps somebody was nice change
somebody was nice because everybody else
reacted to him in the same way that he
acted we got the reaction and this is
how most human beings encounter their
daily reality if the cab driver
situation yes
and for most people their daily reality
is a really a reflection of their own in
a predominant inner state and so the
enlightened part of ourselves
after having reading this book being
awakened we realize what you're saying
here in Chapter three chord the ego you
should you should be able to recognize
the ego not only in yourself but see it
in other people or people so when you
see that kind of reaction from someone
you realize it's their egos it's not
them that's right so it's one could
almost say it's it's like some illness
like a mental so the presence in you
then gets to respond to relate to the
presence of them yes you try to be
really highly it's not indifference by
the way this is not indifferent now that
you're not indifferent
that's compassionate and passion yeah
yes understood is in fact yes thank you
okay thank you no no the question is to
do you say you need to be highly evolved
well yes because most people just react
it is true to say that at first it's the
reaction is so automatic when somebody
behaves unconsciously to react in the
same way it's very automatic now as
people begin to become more aware of the
egos usually after it's happened they
become aware that they reacted in the
old ego way after it's after the event
then after a while in the middle of
reacting - somebody's ego you suddenly
become aware that that's what
you're doing somebody just told me this
last night and this happens a lot you
know with the airlines work you know my
goodness you can get from one from point
A to point B on commercial airlines
these days without losing your luggage
or flights being canceled or sitting on
the tarmac or whatever and they were
reading the book and in the midst of you
know everything you know scheduled for
the flight I'm sure this has happened to
many of you scheduled for the flight
everything's fine you get there and
there's no seat
there's no seat and people other people
didn't have their seats and people
around them were just imploding and this
person said that they decided to remain
calm as my godson as a matter of fact
and people all around them we're going
nuts and suddenly out of nowhere after
about a half an hour not out of nowhere
about a half an hour the person behind
the counter call the names and of all
the names to call they called his who
had been sitting there calm and they
didn't know him from anybody else but
you know it eventually worked out not
saying that it always works out but he
realized after reading the book that
makes no sense to get crazy yes it's not
only that but also it's true that things
are much more likely to work out when
you are in a harmonious state of
consciousness and not in resistance
which brings us to page 77 do you want
peace or drama you say we all want peace
there's no one who doesn't want peace
yet there's something else in you that
wants the drama wants the conflict and
whenever you're moving in the drama you
can as we all can I think now a little
bit anyway detach from the thought see
yourself having the thought recognize
that you the you the I of I am is the
awareness that you're having the thought
when you can see all the drama just
attach a little bit you've done what
that's the that's a vital thing the true
seed in the midst of it to suddenly
become aware that this is an old pattern
in yeah an ego pattern in you it may not
even stop immediately but at least there
isn't suddenly there is a witnessing
presence in the background
the ego wants to complain the ego wants
to be resentful the ego wants drama yes
and to see that in oneself we one could
call it almost this is in Inhumans
something that we could call the
addiction to unhappiness mm-hmm when you
are unhappy for whatever reason once you
are trapped in that that energy of
unhappiness you don't want to get out
that's right because your ego loves it
yes so there is a there's an addiction
to that you actually on some level you
enjoy your unhappiness and when you can
become aware of that and suddenly you're
stepping out so let's talk about the
power of awareness you talked about on
page 78 a power comes into your life
that is far greater than the ego greater
than the mine all that is required to
become free of the ego is to be aware of
it since awareness and ego are in
compared incompatible this is page 78
first paragraph awareness is the power
that is concealed within the present
moment this is why we may also call it
presence and the ultimate purpose of
human existence which is to say your
purpose is to bring that power or that
presence into this world yes that is why
we're here yes and that is the universal
the impulse the universal Empire is the
evolution of consciousness that is the
the impulse behind the universe the
universe is moving towards the evolution
of consciousness and we are one
manifestation of the evolution of
consciousness into this world where one
yes there are many others right even
though a plant is a manifestation right
but our ultimate purpose of human
existence is to bring that presence that
awareness into the world and to become
more aware in our daily lives so that
regardless of what you're doing in your
form world in your form life that you
recognize as you say
on page 79 can I sense my essential
beingness the I am in the background of
my life at all times to be more accurate
can I sense the I am that I am at this
moment yes and an easy step towards that
is the inner acceptance of this moment
as it is mm-hmm without wanting it to be
different or rejecting it or resisting
it if you can accept if you can see that
the the primary thing in your life is
the present moment because there is
never anything else yes it's always now
so you must see if you can have a good
relationship with the now because you
don't if you don't have a good
relationship with them now you don't
have a good relationship with life
because life is now yes so accepting
this moment as it is can connect you
with that dimension of depth in yourself
and that is how we begin to quiet
quieten or quiet the ego yes is by being
more fully present now that's the exit
all trooped out of the ego that now yeah
now is the hidden exit because the ego
doesn't want you to know that there is
an exit and it's called now exit is the
door out of the ego the now is the door
the exit yes but now no exit out of the
ego okay yes and so whenever you find
yourself complaining whenever you find
yourself as we said last week the need
to feel superior you feel superior or
inferior to someone else you know that
it's your ego
whenever you recognize that this is my
ego and can bring yourself to the
present moment of what is going on now
and can see yourself doing it yes yeah
that is awakening yes okay
you

OPEN THROAT Singing Method - How It Really Works - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy - Duration: 27:48.
Hey, Guys! Welcome back again to Ken
Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof
continues to be in the singing. I want to
talk about open throat technique and at
least my experience of what that is
compared to some of the videos that I've
seen on the internet and I've seen some
interesting stuff and some decent
information here and there but a lot of
it is really textbook stuff and it's not
really seen a practical application of
how open throat technique works. So the
very first thing I want to talk about is
laryngeal position, which means your
larynx. Okay, now your larynx for guys
your Adam's apple so you have this you
know voice box it kind of goes up and
down and you know that's the larynx it's
in there and one recent vocal coach you
know talks about a lowered laryngeal
position and neutral laryngeal position
a raised laryngeal position, and then
kind of compartmentalizes all of this
stuff and I want to say that it's not
quite that simple. And let me explain why
to have someone's, I don't want to use the
word bash, but to say, you know, you don't
want to have you know here's a lower
laryngeal position: AAAHHH here's a
neutral laryngeal position AAAHH! Here's a raised laryngeal
position AAAHH! Right. So we have these sort
of you know ways of looking at this
that's not really a good healthy way to
approach this and let me explain what my
experience has been in it this could be
help to you then hopefully this will
you'll benefit from this the first thing
is is that in Bel Canto the canto means
opera in a Porsche it's the old-school
style of singing for Barbara that's sort
of the gold standard to really
understand how these alluring tail
positions work to make fun of you know
tenors that have been doing this a long
time a couple hundred years and make
that you know mock them in that kind of
way for a laurel ranger position oh that
would be so good I don't know that I
would do that for lots of reasons and
explain why I been doing the grandpa's
been doing this a long time 35 years so
I've done that look me up on IMDB I've
got close to a thousand songs where you
get more maybe than a thousand songs
placed in film and TV Internet Movie
Database just check it out go to my wiki
you can check out I've got over 40
records out and I've written songs with
kiss and I've done this that than that
so you have these vocal coaches that
come out and they say this stuff that's
textbook stuff okay this is really
important and they may even at the end
of their video give you some theatrical
thing or whatever but listen to their
actual voice and ask yourself if you
really like it and see if they display
any students that do this and you really
like the way their students soundin
here's why that's important it took me a
long time to figure this stuff out this
wasn't something this has been in
processed and by the way as we age we
also have to learn how to control this
over time it's not like once you learn
it you learn it your diet
no you have to continue the process so
I've taken some very prestigious vocal
coaches and I'd love to tell you who
they all are any with some to
braggadocious so I'm not going to talk
about it but what I am gonna say is this
what I've learned and if this helps you
is that if we first trained with a lower
laryngeal position it really helps you
understand what open throat technique is
now is that the end all no but here's
something I want to put it put out there
to you guys is in the world of appoggio
Bel Canto Opera is that but we're in the
early stages of let's say a tenor and
I'm going to talk about guys and we
could talk about you know female vocal
Sopranos Altos contraltos up etc in a
minute is that a lower laryngeal
position helps us identify how to keep
the throat open first it doesn't mean
we're always going to reside in a Laura
laryngeal position in fact that's silly
in fact the I've heard so many vocal
coaches especially SLS vocal coaches say
you should always be in a neutral
position how stupid is that the larynx
moves up and down all the time it
doesn't
what you're doing and if you're at one
position in a scale in a lower register
and you start to go up to a Midway's
register that neutralizes and as you go
higher if you allow the laryngeal
position you go up like this you inhibit
range
anylock down on the lyrics to where
you're not able to go up really really
high and again guys and gals are
different their vocal cords are about
half the size of men so we have to I
can't go in all the details of this now
but I'm just talking about how open
throw it works now what I've learned and
I hope the feel benefit from this so
really listen closely guys this is
Bolden information if you're talking to
a guy that's toured for 30-some odd
years not some guy that sits behind a
piano in a climate-controlled
studio that's parroting something from a
textbook look me up look at the stuff
that I've done they'll explain this to
you when you train a lower laryngeal
position you're able to open up your
throat and you know what is it throat
and all this stuff and blah blah blah
your throat is your throat guys go in a
mirror doctor wants to see your tonsils
ah-ah-ah just look at the back here
throat we want the tongue drop to the
base of the jaw first okay we want the
back of this road and this other vocal
coach was kind of mocking the uvula
approach and soft palate approach but
that matters it matters a lot actually
and it matters even more the higher up
you go so that you Gila rises even
higher as you go and the soft palate
rises higher to go to create maximum
space if we don't do that we actually
pinch off and choke off the back of the
throat and then we're straining
ourselves to get to having a lot of good
open throat as we go out this is really
important so what is what I learned
again this is just me talking doing this
whatever you want this information in
the vowel and I'm gonna go through the
vowels all the vowels in a second the a
vowel is the biggest vowel that we have
and it's the most difficult to train
that's why all vowel sounds stem from
its lala i open up that vowel there's
something called vocal tract shaping and
hopefully I'll remember
get to this in a second is that in
within that about if we can train that
off I'll open first to keep all this
open mechanism in the back now what
you're gonna do is you're gonna go to a
mirror I want you to grab a handheld
mirror and I want you to just simply go
and I want you to watch the position of
your tongue and you're gonna see that
your tongue swells up and you start to
gag on your tongue right
what just trust me on this go to a
mirror or get a handheld mirror and
watch yourself do this if you drop the
larynx your voice box down
you're gonna find that you can maintain
and build muscle memory to hold the
larynx down this is really important
it's an anchor let me say this again
it's an anchor for your ability to
control the larynx okay so it's a pillar
that you build your voice on when we
talk about laryngeal positions just
because we talk about a lowered
laryngeal position doesn't mean we
always reside in a lower laryngeal
position okay let me say this again
we're going over Zeus in fact how many
insert something really funny for you
guys I have an assistant named Bob so
Bob when you can if you can insert I did
a couple of lower the original position
songs one of them is low rider okay and
we're going to show this clip in a
minute and another one is Johnny Cash
brings a fire and I use a lowered
laryngeal position through the whole
song okay but I can sing with any
position I want but I'm gonna get back
to why this is important in a second but
we're gonna play the clip Bob if you
play the clip now let's do it
right don't try to dance now
little trip to take a little
take a little trip take a little trip
take a little trip see
and low rider don't drive too fast now
so if you can tell this isn't just a
lower lense position this is a drop
learns position kinda like a gospel
quartet in country sort of combined I'm
gonna drop it even farther on this
course here readyit's keep going neck
here we go
I fell into a burning Ring of Fire
the flames of getting high and if
the ring of
okay so like I said you can see I
there's a difference between a lowered
larynx position a la la
very big difference one is just a
lowering of taking the farik's keeping
them flat horizontally straight and
taking your whole Eric and lowering it
so it's a la la is lowered and drop is
law completely taking the entire
Alaric's itself and dropping it all the
way to the floor
okay we chose a couple little pieces out
of that clip to show you a lowered
laryngeal position and why that's
important is it shows that I can
maintain a lower laryngeal position but
then how is it possible if I can sing in
this position but then sing
and connect the sound and go up really
high and release to a neutral position I
never go to a race position a raised
position would be this and you're caught
okay now I know there's a lot of pop
artists or you know Rihanna and like all
these people do you know Britney and all
these people do all these raise
positions and there are people that can
do it and do it well in fact Paul Rogers
does this i'ma baby when I think about
you I think about enough or Paul Carrack
you know tempted by the fruit of another
he's gonna use it so a brace position
but if you notice when they go up they
open up the sound and they drop the
lyrics so to say that you're gonna sing
only in one position and only in this
position and only in that position is
kind of ludicrous to me again
it's just can't tell they're talking I'm
just trying to give you a good quality
information let's get back to a lord
limit oh wait I was gonna sorry I was
gonna talk about a neutral position Bob
if you don't mind playing the clip you
know let's grab Steelheart for example
where I shit between a neutral position
I have dropped the lyrics as I go
through passaggio and then I have to
come back to a neutral position is that
go up high check out this clip
okay now there's other times you can do
it and use the John Fogerty clip here
Bob use fortunate side where you sing in
it in a just a slightly lowered position
like me a Wilson Pickett which we just
did a whole thing here recently on open
throat technique um you know right use a
lowered position and then I move it to a
neutral position
check out this fortunate side clip
okay why this is important is because
when we learn and we train the voice in
a lowered position we can hold down the
soundboard of the voice when we can hold
this down then we can relax it and move
it into a neutral position when we're in
a neutral position or we try to learn
only from neutral position the default
or what most people do is as they ascend
a scale or passage they go to a raised
position and then all of a sudden they
get caught in the throat right now there
are great artists that do this like I
said I talked about you know Paul Rogers
Glenn Hughes this ago you know sort of
the thrill II think Sam and Dave you
just talked about this in another video
well this becomes more of a stylistic
thing because I've heard Glenn do this
without having to raise the position but
what we do is again first we train first
the lower laryngeal position once we've
mastered that and we did the feeling of
it what I'm gonna back up sorry a lot of
information in bel canto when kids are
being raised to understand how to sing
with these different laryngeal positions
they cannot touch an aria which is the
musical piece of Italian for four years
we think by this for four years they
train bowels in different laryngeal
positions think about that okay what I
did was develop something that showed
that if you train a lowered position
first and you maintain that lowered
position to where you understand when
you relaxed the position to a neutral
position and if you want to raise it to
an upper you know to a raised learned
your position then all of a sudden
you're you have total command total
control of this and you can get there a
lot quicker you don't have to do it in
four years you can do it six months okay
straight up if you do it every day about
an hour hour and a half a day five days
a week and start sorry for those who
didn't want to take the quick pill and
get it you know doing faster than that
it
happen that way because we're at the gym
and we're working out and this is what
we have to do now we want to use these
different positions all throughout the
spectrum of the voice but there's two
elements that are missing big ones the
first one is is remember I just said
that all vowel sounds stem from its the
LA ah and it was a real open sound well
gets wet when I go ah ah eh and I spread
the pharynx which is just the mouth
right when I spread the pharynx all of a
sudden the sound closes down so I
haven't trained a lord laryngeal
position first I have no way of really
identifying how that really feels in the
throat when the fruit itself closes down
as the pharynx is spread this is really
important why because we don't sing only
one vowel Wow and we sing many different
vowels through the spectrum of the voice
and as we go through raising the going
up and range up and down in range we
find that we have to change this
laryngeal position and also there's
another huge element to this which our
glottal stops are things that close down
the back of the throat now what am I
need by that it means that we want to
reside in something called contiguous
phrase singing continuous phrase singing
is that we want to keep that vowel open
as long as we can without closing it
down with consonants well it turns out
to be this is extremely important
because every time you close a consonant
down it closes off the back of the
throat it wants to shoot air up into the
velar nasal port by the way fancy terms
for all the stupid stuff not stupid but
I try to keep things so simple I don't
love complicating stuffing you find
yourself using technical terms you hope
people will understand cooling into the
nose and so as it goes into the nose
then the throat is swing hey hey man
what's wrong with you do you want this
to come out of the mouth or do you want
this to come out of the nose could you
make up your mind here or both right so
what we want to do contiguous racing's
we want to have the the sound over the
fact Steve Perry and Sam Cooke I just
did a vocal demonstration on this and
sure when I'm gonna air all this stuff
but if you listen to what change is
gonna come from by Sam Cooke and using
house bow because every time I close
down a consonant sound I have to read
open the throat and then get back to
that placement that I had depending on
where I am in the range well men if you
think that's tough and you think that
you're gonna only reside in a neutral
position or raise laryngeal position or
lower position you've got another thing
coming
now again I'm gonna say this again check
out whomever you get your information
from do they sing great not just sin do
they sing great what do you want to
sound like them and do they displace
students that sing great this is so
important because I could sit there and
then I could be some guy that gets on
the internet reads all kinds of
technical stuff and and regurgitate this
stuff to you or I could put my heart on
a sleeve and put my heart on the line
and actually demonstrate and show you
this is very very important so as we go
up and down a scale if we only train a
neutral position a neutral learned your
position as we ascend there's a 95 doing
this for 35 years 95% of the people I've
trained default to erase positions so
they'll get caught and erase the
position if you train a lower position
first this is old-school bel canto guys
you train in a lower position first and
then you relax to a neutral position and
you understand the soundboard how to
move that soundboard first by anchoring
it to a lowered position it doesn't mean
you're sentencing yourself to see in a
lower position all the time
it just means you understand it I wanna
wrap you
till I'm dying
the way feel like me
- spend my time waiting on your call how
can I tell you babe my backs against the
wall I need you by my side to tell me
it's alright cuz I don't think I can
cheat game
love
and century
three days
hold on
it's got a hold on me
cutting passes on cello but the
backstage tour
I know that I must do what's right
sure is Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
above the sea
I seek to kill once deep inside trying
to know this thing that I've become
I miss the rain salad
ricca-san
please with
yeah yeah
Jamie tell me
I can always kill you
I believe
you won't ever have to
everybody you see
come and take me Shira yeah
come and take me when I hold my own
no she bets my solo
she's alright
that's the way is me
I met you baby
dream
Drimmer
as you've seen some of these different
positions you see that this can be done
in all kinds of different ways now
here's where this gets equally
interesting we talked about the vowels
themselves with a vowel if you go to an
e e is the most parentally spread vowel
but we have all of a sudden learns goes
up right but if you've trained a lowered
laryngeal position
I can actually maintain the a vowel or a
different vowel modification to hold it
at bay so then I don't get caught in the
throat anyway guys I could go on and on
and on about this I have a singing
course called how to sing better than
anyone else I covered all of us in the
poor's if you guys want to check it out
cool hopefully this information that's
beneficial to you and I'm sure we'll
talk a lot more about this in future

We've seen the future of meat, and it's plants - Duration: 4:48.
(lively music)
- Anything that exists that's animal-based,
whether it's dairy or protein,
it's got a new plant-based counterpart.
We don't think that meat needs
to exclusively come from animals.
In fact, we think vegetable
or plant-based meat is excellent.
(bright music)
I am Chef Tommy McDonald,
I'm our corporate chef here at Field Roast.
- [Katie] And what exactly is your product?
And what is Field Roast?
- Field Roast is vegan grain meat.
So we call it vegan charcuterie,
but what we're most famous for
are our sausages and our cheese.
- Why plant-based meat?
I mean, what problem is this solving exactly?
- Everybody knows that to feed the animals
that become our food, we first have to grow the food
to feed the animals to then feed us.
And that takes a lot of resources.
So I think what we do is we kind of cut out the middleman.
- [Katie] The middle cow?
- [Tommy] The middle cow, or pig, or chicken.
You know, for every pound of beef that isn't sold
or for every pound of Field Roast that is,
that's a plant-based pound of meat that made it
to the store shelves and onto your plate
and a pound of beef that didn't.
- [Ray] Some forms of protein production
are very, very efficient, and some produce a lot of carbon.
The majority of beef produced in the US are fed
a combination of grasses and grains.
The farmer is basically cutting hay,
someone's growing grain,
then you've got a tractor that's using fuel.
They get fed, the process of eating,
if it's beef, they are burping and farting,
and that gives off a lot of methane.
Somewhere between five and 10 kilograms of carbon
would be released in the production of a hamburger.
(light classical music)
(food sizzling)
- No animals were harmed in the making of this sausage.
This is very good.
(lively music)
All right, you want to show me how
the plant-based sausage is made?
- Sure.
This is where everything starts.
This is what we call the mix room.
We say what we do is a blend of European and Asian heritage,
so what we've done is we've taken techniques
from two different cultures.
So ancient China has this idea
that you can make meat out of wheat.
So if you imagine a ball of dough,
flour and water, and you take that dough
and you put it in a tub of water
and you work the dough,
you're gonna have a dough that's 90% pure protein.
You steam that, and that's your meat.
So we've basically taken that idea
and we've combined it with the traditional practice
of making charcuterie, which is our European heritage.
- That's a lot of sausage.
Never seen this much sausage in my life.
Outside of gym.
- Fusing these two traditional techniques,
we've come up with something that's completely,
it's cutting edge while being a recreation or a fusion
of things that have existed for a really long time.
- So it's futuristic, artisanal plant-based meat.
So why replicate meat?
I mean, why are people so attached to this idea
that your plant-based item needs to look like
an animal-based item?
- The experience of eating food
is a huge part of our culture.
These are forms and recipes that are rooted in tradition.
They've been made over and over and over and over
for generations, and we can't just throw our culture away.
Some of the forms that we use
aren't exclusive to any one protein.
Like a sausage.
You can make it from all kinds of different things,
and now we make vegetable sausage as just another type.
There was no cow that was ever born in the shape
of a hamburger, you know?
It had to go through a process to get there.
- A painful one.
(Tommy laughs)
I'm gonna just start a restaurant.
- It's gonna be called Salt.
- Yeah.
- It's gonna be called High Blood Pressure,
your restaurant.

Why is it hard to cure Alzheimer's disease? | #aumsum #kids #disease #brain #alzheimers - Duration: 6:36.
It's AumSum Time.
Can you guess the title of my next video?
Hurry up.
Write your guess in the comments section below.
Why is it hard to cure Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder.
It basically occurs when proteins in the brain malfunction and clump together forming plaques and tangles.
These plaques and tangles block communication in between brain cells and even cause cell death.
Thus leading to memory loss, mood changes, hallucinations, etc.
Now, it is hard to cure Alzheimer's because symptoms of the disease begin to show.
When it has almost irreversibly damaged the brain.
Also, finding candidates for effective clinical trials is difficult.
Because there is no method to identify people with the disease at initial stages.
Thus, it is hard to test the medications and check whether they work or not.
In addition to this, Alzheimer's affects different people in different ways.
Hence, a drug which is somewhat effective on a patient suffering from Alzheimer's.
Might not work on another patient.
In short, due to a lack of fundamental understanding of the disease, we are unable to cure Alzheimer's.
What causes body odor?
Obviously sweat.
No.
Sweat is odorless.
What?
But how is that possible?
Our skin contains two types of sweat glands, eccrine glands and apocrine glands.
Eccrine glands are present all over our body.
They produce sweat which is mostly water.
Whereas, apocrine glands are concentrated in regions such as ear canals, armpits, etc.
They produce thicker sweat which has proteins.
Can I eat these proteins and become a bodybuilder?
Just listen.
We know that millions of bacteria are normally found all over our skin.
When apocrine glands produce sweat.
The bacteria on our skin breakdown the proteins in that sweat.
Releasing unpleasant smell which we call as body odor.
How to not cry while cutting onions?
Watch a comedy movie.
No.
When we cut onions, chemicals like sulfoxides and enzymes are released which react to eventually form a gas.
This gas reacts with the lubricating liquid in our eyes.
Produces sulfuric acid, which makes us cry.
However, if we freeze onions before cutting, then the temperature of onions drops.
Due to this, the sulfoxides and enzymes react slowly.
Producing less gas and thus, reducing the amount of crying.
We can even wear tight goggles so that the gas doesn't reach our eyes.
It is also said that below the onion roots, there is a bulb where the concentration of chemicals is more.
Hence, to avoid crying, we should first cut and throw that part.
Also, cutting an onion under running water washes away the chemicals.
Hence, we can also use this method to reduce crying while cutting onions.
What is vocal fry?
It may be similar to a french fry.
Not at all.
Vocal fry is a creaky or raspy voice seldom used in speech.
I though it is used by leech.
Just throw that away and listen.
When we speak, air from the lungs passes through the vocal folds, making them vibrate.
These vibrations make the air in the mouth and nose to vibrate, thus producing sound or voice.
Generally, human voice can be divided into three ranges or registers.
They are falsetto, modal and fry.
Most people speak and sing in the modal range.
But sometimes when we speak in fry range, our vocal folds slam shut.
However, longitudinally, they are not stretched tightly.
Air from the lungs bubbles out through this loosely closed folds, thus creating that creaky voice called fry.
Topic: Pressure
Why is it difficult to cut with a blunt knife?
Seems like you are hungry.
Why don't you have an apple?
No, don't use the blunt knife.
Use the sharp knife.
Looks like you want to go ahead with the blunt knife only.
See, you are finding it difficult to cut the apple now.
Now, try cutting with the sharp knife.
Look.
The apple gets cut very easily.
Confused, right?
Let me explain.
All this happens due to a concept called pressure.
What is Pressure?
It is the force applied per unit area.
That means pressure will be directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area.
Now, we applied the same amount of force on both the knives.
Then, why was the result different?
This is because the area on which the force acted was different.
In the case of a blunt knife, the cutting edge is thicker.
That means, the area is larger.
As a result, the force of our hand falls over a larger area of the knife, producing less pressure.
Hence, it is difficult to cut with a blunt knife.

THIS IS IT TOP OBAMA OFFICIAL HEADING TO PRISON
President Donald Trump is reportedly furious after learning what James Clapper, former
President Barack Obama's Director of National Intelligence, and his fellow members of the
deep state have been doing.
"Clapper has now admitted that there was Spying in my campaign.
Large dollars were paid to the Spy, far beyond normal.
Starting to look like one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history.
SPYGATE – a terrible thing!" Trump tweeted on Thursday.
The Daily Caller reported that Trump also called Clapper out one day before for comments
he made about the president while appearing on "The View."
"'Trump should be happy that the FBI was SPYING on his campaign' No, James Clapper,
I am not happy.
Spying on a campaign would be illegal, and a scandal to boot!" Trump tweeted.
Clapper had the nerve to say that Trump should be grateful that the FBI had an informant
in his campaign.
He claimed that the FBI was not spying on the Trump campaign, saying, "What they were
trying to do was protect our political system and protect the campaign."
"They were spying — a term I don't particularly like — on what the Russians were doing,
trying to understand, were the Russians infiltrating?"
Clapper added.
It's clear that the walls are closing in on Obama's deep state, and his top officials
like Clapper are
about
to
go down.

JUST IN: Feds Release "Game Changing" Findings on Hillary Clinton – THIS IS IT - Duration: 12:05.
JUST IN: Feds Release "Game Changing" Findings on Hillary Clinton – THIS IS IT
Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly in full panic mode right now after the Justice Department's
Office of Inspector General (OIG) released a report about the highly questionable investigation
into her use of a personal email server during her time as Secretary of State.
Right Wing News reported that many expect the report to unleash serious consequences
for the conduct, highly questionable decisions, and lack of ethics displayed by senior-level
Justice Department and FBI officials during former President Barack Obama's regime.
"Given the tools available to the OIG and the credibility of Justice Department Inspector
General Michael Horowitz, the latest report could also uncover new and seriously damaging
information about Clinton's email practices, including her handling of classified information.
FBI Director James Comey (later fired by President Trump) criticized Clinton's handling of
emails in July 2016, while she was running for president against Donald Trump," wrote
Jason Chaffetz, the former chair of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government
Reform.
Comey controversially said that no reasonable prosecutor would file charges against Clinton
for acting illegally, but he later changed his tune.
"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended
to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence
that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified
information," Comey said.
This comes one week after Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions
on Wednesday recommending that Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey be hit with
criminal charges.
They also recommended that other Obama officials be charged as well, including former Attorney
General Loretta Lynch, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, as well as FBI Special Agent
Peter Strzok and his lover, FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
"Because we believe that those in positions of high authority should be treated the same
as every other American, we want to be sure that the potential violations of law outlined
below are vetted appropriately," the letter stated.
"The report provides the following alarming specifics, among others: 'Mr. Strzok texts
Ms. Page to tell her that, in fact, senior officials had decided to water down the reference
to President Obama to 'another senior government official," the criminal referral said.

Meghan Markle's Jeweler Says She Is Breaking Tradition with 'Daring,' 'Very Sexy' Style Choices - Duration: 3:58.
Meghan Markle may have borrowed an antique tiara from Queen Elizabeth on her wedding day, but the newest member of the royal family has already accumulated quite a jewelry collection of her own
Back in April, the royal-to-be wore three pieces of jewelry from luxury British jeweler Shaun Leane, including a pair of talon earrings that might just be her most fashion-forward jewelry look to date
"I think Meghan is very bold and daring — she's obviously open to exploring different ways of wearing pieces and she's breaking traditions," Leane tells PEOPLE from his atelier in London's Mayfair, adding of her gold hook-style earrings: "They are very sexy and there's something quite tribal about them – that's where my inspiration came from
" Wearing his work for the first time when she stepped out with her then-fiancé Prince Harry for the Queen's 92nd birthday party concert at the Royal Albert Hall on April 21, Leane said although he knew she had been gifted the pieces by her close friend Markus Anderson, he was not expecting her to wear them quite so quickly
"A friend of hers came in to buy some pieces for her as a birthday gift and two days later she was wearing them!" he says
"For me that was really exciting. And not only was she wearing one of my pieces, she was wearing all three!" In addition to the jeweler's Yellow Gold Vermail Talon Earrings ($290), Meghan was also wearing Leane's signature Yellow Gold Vermeil Diamond Tusk Bangle ($1281) and his Yellow Gold Vermeil Serpents Trace Slim Bracelet ($708), both of which were inspired by Leane's 20-year relationship working alongside the late British designer, Alexander McQueen
"What I love about Meghan is that she is very elegant and chic, but she has an edge of daring and the way she mixes classic and innovative pieces is quite brave and fearless," says Leane, adding: "It was very flattering and I always knew deep down that our work would be a perfect fit for her
" She obviously agrees, as Meghan was seen publicly wearing the Tusk Bangle again on her 37th birthday earlier this month, when she accompanied Harry to the wedding of his close friend Charlie van Straubenzee
Based on a piece the jeweler made for McQueen back in 1995, he says, "That's a really iconic piece
" It was also the item that sold particularly well in the weeks after Meghan was photographed wearing it
"Traffic and sales increased quite remarkably and it's been consistent," he says
"It introduced those styles to a global audience and we've had an array sales from silver to rose gold and her favorite, the yellow gold
" Having trained as an apprentice in London's Hatton Garden 35 years ago, he was often asked to work on royal commissions via Garrard and Asprey
Then in 2012, he became creative director at Asprey, designing the Woodland collection, from which Kate Middleton bought his charm necklace
"For me, having my early work with the royals making very traditional beautiful high-end pieces and then to see Meghan, this new generation of royalty wearing the House of Shaun Leane is a nice full circle for me – I feel very honored

Cryptocurrency Mining and Blockchain: Know It All In Six Minutes - Duration: 6:41.
What's up guys, it's Leon here.
I'm the CEO and co-founder of the Block
Tree Club
Okay, now there's a lot of people have
been asking me about cryptocurrency
mining. What is it? How, when you mine it,
the blockchain, do you get cryptocurrency?
It sounds technical, fuzzy, complicated,
complex to them. No worries. I promise you
After you watch this entire video you
will be very crystal clear about all the
definitions and the process, okay? The
reason is because I'm going to share with
in more detail about how it works
in the most laymen way possible, okay?
Now, to understand what cryptocurrency
mining is you need to know what about
the blockchain is.
The blockchain is a decentralized ledger
system, okay? So, what is a ledger system?
A ledger system is essentially a book
of transactions, okay? Now, in a
centralized group like a bank
you record all the transactions in a ledger.
For example, Leon transfers one
dollar to Alex. That is one
transaction. Alex transfers the dollar to Michelle.
That's another transactions. So this
ledger goes on and so forth.
In a centralized world, there are human beings
to piece each transactions together.
That's your counters, your bookkeepers, you can get lots of people
to do this job for you.
Now, in a decentralized world, there are no
human beings. So, if there's no
human beings, then how does it work?
That's where blockchain mining comes into place.
That's how miners help the
blockchain to piece all these pieces
together. So, how does this thing really
work? Now, this is your cryptocurrency
mining. The guy you see is
called a miner. I won't go in detail
about what the rig is because in
other videos I'll show you
literally the anatomy of a rig,
the graphic card, motherboard, every single thing inside the rig
so you can watch the other video if you want to
find out more. But for now I'll show the
concept of how this whole thing works, okay? So,
for a decententralized ledger system:
these are all the different blocks, these
are all the different transactions, these
are all the parts that we
want to piece together
without the help of humans beings. So, how are we going to do it?
Cryptocurrency mining rigs are actually computers that have a lot power. They are very
high powered computers. So, this computing power
generates what we call a hashrate.
This is actually the S.I. unit.
More hashrate means there is more computing
power, okay? What you're actually doing in
mining is contributing this hashrate to
the blockchain. To do what, right?
By contributing this hashrate to the
blockchain (over here you can see the
little gaps), what you
are doing is you're actually piecing the
pieces together.
Now, how does it work? Every single block
right has been pre-programmed by the
founder of each blockchain to have a complex mathematical puzzle.
Once you solve it, the blocks come together.
Okay? So, I'll give you an example.
So, if this is the Bitcoin blockchain, okay? If this is the
Bitcoin blockchain, then what happens to the
background is very simple. You as the
miner, you own the cryptocurrency mining rig
you point your hashrates to the gaps over here, right?
To the blockchain. How do you point, you may ask?
You do it through software. There is a lot of software on
the market. Some people write one themself, we wrote one
ourselves, but it doesn't matter.
So, my point is how does this process
work? By contributing
hashrates computing power to the blockchain over here
you are actually closing the gap once you
successfully solve their puzzle. Okay, now
once you solve the puzzle this
blockchain automatically gives you back
Bitcoin. BTC, okay? So, why would the blockchain give you that? Because the founder, the
creator of the blockchain, he realized that
if he doesn't do that there is no
incentive for any human. There's no incentive
for anyone to mine the blockchain
There's no incentive to mine the blockchain
meaning that there's no incentive to
connect together all the blocks to form one, tight
chain., So
in return for contributing this hash power,
this hashrate, you get back bitcoins, okay?
Now, I'm sure you've heard of other coins
like Ethereum or Litecoin. So, let's say you want to earn Ethereum.
You go the Ethereum blockchain, now. Instead of going to the bitcoin blockchain,
now you contribute your hashrate to
the Ethereum blockchain such that if you
solve the puzzles for the Ethereum blockchain you get the ETH coins in return automatically. Because the software does the programming in the background.
You may be wondering: there's so many miners
does every single miner that
contributes help to the blockchain
actually gets a coin, right. The answer is
only the first miner that solves the
puzzle gets a coin. So if you solve
the puzzle for this one, you get one
coin. Maybe it's you,
maybe it's another miner with another mining rig.
who solves the puzzle and gets a coin.
So, people started to realize along
the way that a better way to do is
not to own one rig to contribute power. What you want
to do now is this method.
Rather than doing one by one where you're trying to find it one at a time.
What you do
is you contribute your computing
power, your hashrates remember? Yes, you
contribute your hashrate to the pool, and you
let the pool consolidate the power
over here
and then go and mine the blockchain. Now, by doing this,
what's the effect? You increase the
probability of solving the puzzle which
closes up the gap which forms a blockchain
and in return you get the ethereum. So, the ethereum
goes to the pool right now and it's being
distributed evenly among all the people
that contribute their power to the pool.
Okay, so one Ethereum if there are ten miners then its
divided among one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, ten people. But by doing this
you actually have more of chance than one person
trying to compete and trying to
close the gap in the blockchain. Now,
do you understand these concepts so far? I
hope it's crystal clear because this is
actually how the mining process work so
when people say "cryptocurrency mining" they
actually are referring to the process of
piecing
different blocks together to form one
chain and hence it's called the blockchain Now,
thank you guys
