Youtube daily is it Aug 31 2018

Hey everybody I'm Sam and this is Entiversal

and today we're talking about why I

believe there is a great great

opportunity in China right now and

probably for the future for a very very

long time so there's been so much

talking in the media news about your

China communist country regulation

obviously now the trade Wars a slowing

economy and you know all of these disto

but I want to talk on all of these

things I'll touch from them I'll comment

on them but also want to look at the

fundamental numbers because you know

opinions say news they could be a look

at one perspective or another

perspective but numbers don't lie so

first let me start with is China a

communist country and what will a

communist country means

so obviously communist countries like

the socialism so there is much more

power into the state ancient state

controls all the companies and you know

how the people live in that country

there is no freedom there is no free

flow of data and information and also

businesses cannot basically compete and

do a lot of the stuff that's the way in

capitalism right so China it is food

that the Communist Party is ruling in

China and they've been in power since

what 1950s but while ideologically and

in theory their Socialist Party right

but if we actually look into the

politics and how they're ruling the

country we can see a lot of capitalism

stuff actually the private businesses

are contributing much more to the GDP

than state-owned business we can see

that they are encouraging you know

competition inside the country they are

encouraging a lot of all sorts fade and

good communication relationship with

their countries that are around them so

we can see that they're quite open

obvious you can travel to China right

they want to invest a lot in Africa you

basically all around the world so we can

see that they are not really I wouldn't

say they're communists I wouldn't even

say that they're socialists in the way

that we want to understand it all the

when that marks you know described it so

I think they actually ruling the country

much like a very very big conglomerate

company and while obviously there is a

lot of regulation you know the

government has quite big effect and

power over certain businesses they try

to encourage them and to help them we

know that you know they are blocking

some information right we know that they

are not welcoming all kinds of companies

into China right they're blocking of

Facebook does not work in China does not

work in China Google does not work in

China and so on but as we see that's

mainly on the energy side and on the

technological side and it's kind of the

same with us because if US was you know

on the spot of China I doubt that you

know they would let other companies form

you know another country to be the

biggest inside us and I cannot comment

on politics and you know what's right or

wrong but what happens is that they're

supporting give a lot of leverage to

Chinese companies and especially Chinese

technological companies like the video

that they put out about the top five

best stocks and companies in China that

I like is because they support them and

you know obviously like white Tencent is

so big right

why by doing so big they don't let

Facebook in they don't let Google win

and so on from the company's point of

view this is good for them so with that

out of the way you know we talked about

communism and regulation I want to get

into the numbers of the slowing economy

and it is when we see the China GDP

growth and GDP is basically how much the

economic growth in its being slowing we

see but we can also see that the numbers

are crazy like in 2010 they grew 10% 10%

this is the

second biggest economy in the world

after us it's also the second biggest

kind of markets in the world so you know

they are already the second biggest in

the growing at such rates this is this

ridiculous and we can you know compare

that to us and we can see that the

growth in us have nothing on them right

so for example you know this last year

2017 the China economic grew 6.8% vs the

United States economy 2.2 percent that

is what almost triple the amount the

economy in China is growing three times

faster than us obviously more they grow

the slower they they'll start growing

but they're still growing much faster to

us even when comparing how big their

economy is so you know the argument

about following link economy I just

don't believe it it would make sense if

the stock market was pricing this road

fight so if the stock market was three

times more expensive in China than in

u.s. I would say okay yes we have a

problem because you know the stock

market price is pricing in three times

faster growth but when we look at the

numbers of the stock market things look

quiet differently so we can look at this

is the SA P 500 index a quote from

Bloomberg about the pricing of the ASAP

digit of you know kind of 500 biggest

companies in US and represents the US

stock market so we can see that the

trading P is 20 point six seven let's

look at the Shanghai Composite Index

which is basically tracking the Chinese

biggest companies and it's

representative of the Chinese stock

market we can see P of twelve point nine

let me just say that again twenty point

six seven

compared to twelve point eight nine

obviously the price of Chinese companies

compared to how much money they make

is drastically lower which means that

maybe they're undervalued let's then go

and look at the EPS how much on average

Chinese company make per year and that's

207 and we compare that with sa piece

137 at the same time by the way ACP is

higher than the Shanghai Shanghai index

sapa said 2,850 while the Shanghai index

is at 2668 then let's look at the price

to book this is basically what the

market cap of the companies compared to

how much assets they have in a very

broadly speaking for the Chinese market

this is one point 4 or 4s AP for the

American companies as three point four

which means that again American

companies much more expensive is the

same with price sales and we can see it

America price sales of 2.2 against the

Chinese price sales of one point zero

seven let's look at the dividend okay

maybe American companies give more

dividend well we can look at this that

the dividend of Chinese companies is

0.37 or for American companies is 0.23

so even the dividend is lower so

obviously something is not right in we

know we can see that especially the big

Chinese companies are going much faster

than their American counterparts right

like Baidu grows faster than Google like

Alibaba grows faster than Amazon we can

see the valuation so you know by the

numbers we can say that the Chinese

stock market is dramatically less

expensive than the American one and we

can say that obvious American companies

are around the world there is much more

stability you know there is much less

interference from the government and

this is true by

we also said that China wants their

companies to grow and need to want their

companies to be global - which means

that it will do the best to protect them

and also support them now what we can

see though if we look at the Shanghai

index over the years we can see here in

2007 when the economic crisis

I know popped obviously drop drastically

lower then kind of drifting then again

in 2015 there was again stock market

bubble popped and in its down but since

then we can see that you know it has

gone up and now it's again down but we

know that China's GDP has been growing

steadily in all of those years which

means that even though that the moment

the stock market is around where it was

what in 2008 in 2007 the GDP of China is

much bigger all their relationships are

much bigger

how strong their economy and central

bank and overall government it's much

more stable it has much bigger impact on

the overall global trade and economy as

you know ten years ago which means that

probably now it's much cheaper than what

it was and some might say oh you know

it's you under violet we saw though that

by the numbers first of all China is

going much faster than us even though

that it's lower is to three times faster

Kim and the economy is starting to get

very very big it's the second biggest

they wrote is too ridiculously faster

than us at the same time we saw that by

the numbers the stock market is cheaper

so when those two things intersect I

believe we have an amazing opportunity

and I believe that China's stocks

overall at the moment are greatly

undervalued compared to us in even

compared to other markets we can also

see that when the bubble happens in two

fifteen we can see the P ratio going

higher to 25 we saw that at the moment

the P ratio of the Shanghai Composite

Index is twelve point nine which means

that it's almost half of what was in the

bubble so the stock market is two times

cheaper than what it was in the bubble

which means that it's probably not a

bubble now so what I'm saying is why the

stock market has been decreasing in the

last 7 months all of this has been

because of the trade wars and even we

see that the trade walls maybe they have

some kind of very very weak impact on

the China economy but we see that it's

very weak because China now it's so big

that you know it has a lot of leverage

they can sauce different stuff from you

know different places so in my point of

view they are in a very very also strong

position now I cannot judge each u.s.

winning is China winning that's not

feeling my concern because I want them

both to win but the fact is that while

the S&P has been going up and up and up

the Shanghai index has been going down

down down in the same time though we see

that the GDP is not really that affected

we see that the companies themselves

post amazing numbers we can see the vote

is just ridiculous when there is

continuing road where there is already

lower valuations even from before that

and compounding that with decreasing

prices I see a very good under valuation

and you know probably a very good buying

opportunity what I belief is that this

decline has been based on fear it's not

on fundamentals right we don't actually

see the economy slowing we don't see

that cracking but there is a fear that

that might happen

well when others are fearful you need to

be greedy right that's what Warren

Buffett says you might say oh yeah but

the trade was you know

we don't see them being resolved we

don't know what will happen that is for

but what Warren Buffett always says is

that you shouldn't try to time the

market

nobody can time the market right so if

you see something that's undervalued or

it's very good and it's fair valued

better buy it now right if it goes down

lower and the fundamentals are the same

you can cost average and buy one more

Vitamin C: Why is it so important for your life? - Duration: 4:18.

Also known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C is a low molecular weight

carbohydrate that has aene-diol structure and is soluble in water.

Except for guinea pigs, birds, fish, certain species of bat and higher order

primates such as humans, apes and monkeys it can be synthesized by all species.

This is why all these species depend on their diet to intake Vitamin C.

Since the ancient times people have known to include

Vitamin C is widely used as a dietary supplement.

It is an important nutrient that is required in production of

some neurotransmitters and repair of tissues in human body.

Several enzymes in human body function with the help of Vitamin

C and human immune system also requires this nutrient.

Bell peppers, all cutrus fruits, brusells,

strawberries and broccoli are rich in Vitamin C.

Sudies have already confirmed that Vitamin C is beneficial for the cancer patients.

This nutrient has so many good effects that medical science

hasn't stopped researching further aboutits benefits.

It has an enormous potential as an antioxidant and has the capacity of both

preventing and in several cases reversing the host of illnesses in humans.

It also helps in enhancing the benefits of exercises and lowering

the impact of harmful toxins such as smoke from smoking cigarettes.

It blocks the harmful DNA degradation which

is the cause of cancer and also prevents the

disease of the artery known as atherosclerosis

where there is plaque build-up in the arteries.

Medical science discovers something more about the benefits of Vitamin C everyday

and as they unveil more about its goodness its importance also increases.

Vitamic C acts as a redundant which means that it donates an electron to a substrate

when it is being oxidized to aascorbyl radical wich is a stable free radical.

2 molecules of ascorbyl free radical dismutates to 1

molecule of dehydroascorbicacid and 1 molecule of ascorbate.

These are the oxidized and reduced forms of Vitamin C respectively.

In order to hold Vitamin C in human body there

is are certain retaining mechanisms in place.

SVCT1 (sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter) and SVCT2

control the tissue specific transport of Vitamin C.

The nutrient is present in its highest

concentration in the adrenal gland, brain and eye.

The main role of Vitamic C is when it is in its reduced form known as

ascorbate which then takes over enzymatic and non-enzymatic functions.

Ascorbate is an an electron donor to different enzymes.

Many recent studies also show that Vitamin C

has an important role in vascular function.

It modulates the endothelial cell barrier and

regulates the activity of NADPH (Nicotinamide

adenine dinucleotide phosphate) oxidases which

partakes in the inflammatory gene response.

Besides being responsible for enzymatic roles ascorbate is also an antioxidant

that can reduce many free reactive oxygen species and free radicals.

Vitamin C also has the abiity to regenerate Vitamin E which

lets Vitamin C prevent lipid peroxidation indirectly.

In the process of lipid peroxidation the free radicals steal electrons

from the lipids presentin the cell membranes which then cause cell damage.

In its process of being an antioxidant it also reduces the

gluthathione and urate radicals in the extracellular fluids and cells.

The astonishing health benefits that Vitamin C has in store makes

it one of the most important nutirents that is known to man.

The UK's Position Is That Nigeria Cannot Be Trusted With Money, Says Queen's Counsel - Duration: 2:41.

Philip Hackett, a Queen's Counsel, has expressed the reservations of the United Kingdom, when it comes to returning looted funds to Nigeria.

Speaking on the theme: 'Institutionalising the War against Corruption – New Approaches to Assets Tracing and Recovery', at the Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Abuja on Wednesday, Hackett said the issues with accounting for the funds also contributed to the UK's hesitation on returning looted funds.

He said: "How much money has been recovered? Practically nothing. Nigeria has recovered so little. "The UK's position is that Nigeria cannot be trusted with its money. That's what underpins it (poor asset return rate), and it has to be addressed.".

The session was chaired by Professor Bolaji Owasanoye, Executive Secretary, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), and featured the presence of Ibrahim Magu, the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who was represented by Chile Okoroma, EFCC's Director of Legal and Prosecution Department.

In his address, Magu lamented "poor record keeping system", noting that it is difficult to estimate how much has been looted from the country. He said: "It is difficult to estimate what Nigeria has lost because we have poor record keeping system.

"Lawyers have been involved in money laundering; laundering of proceeds of crime. When they were asked to register with the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering (SVUML) for regulation, they went to court.

NBA said it could regulate itself. But how far has NBA gone in regulating itself? That is the issue.

"I think the NBA Disciplinary Committee should be up and doing. I get embarrassed when NBA descends heavily on lawyers who are not considered to be significant, but they turn a blind eye to what big-time counsels are doing.

"I think they have to do their work without looking at faces, no matter whose ox is gored. That is the only way that we can have confidence and respect for the disciplinary committee.".

Seth's got something pretty cool he wants to show us.

Dad wants to show you guys a playground.

That's right.

You're thinking a playground?

On a university campus?

I know that sounds kind of strange but there is one here guys.

It's not for the university students necessarily.

It's for the younger kids that might come onto campus, children of the teachers, and

things like that.

We're cruising over there right now and I got some important information that I want

to tell you.

Haven't quite made it to the playground yet.

But one cool thing they have here guys that is this cool, a tire swing, Now we're heading

working on.

I shared with you a couple of books that we ordered from Amazon.

One is about living off-grid and the other is about building your own house.

And some of you guys guessed it almost perfectly.

Yeah we're gonna be living off-grid and we're gonna be building our own house.

We bought seven acres of forest, off-grid forests, up in North Idaho.

Off-grid means, right, there's no electricity.

There's no running water.

There's no sewer system set up there.

Like no city, no city stuff right.

No telephone lines.

No cable lines.

Nothing like that.

And so we're gonna be living off-grid.

We're gonna have to provide all of that stuff for ourselves.

And so, we've got a lot of videos that we want to make for you guys, sharing this journey

right.

Sharing this process and sharing with you some of the things that we're having to learn.

And if we can share with you guys the information that we're learning now, that is going to

make the journey for somebody else even easier.

JUST IN: Feds Release "Game Changing" Findings on Hillary Clinton – THIS IS IT - Duration: 13:11.

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.

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

Why is the DOLLAR the World's RESERVE CURRENCY? - VisualPolitik EN - Duration: 11:58.

You've heard this a thousand times: the American dollar is the World's reserve currency,

the hegemonic

currency in the world today.

And we all have that "smartass" friend who thinks he knows everything about

geopolitics and says that the dollar supremacy is… the cornerstone of the so called New

World Order.

The

illuminati, the Bildelberg club and George Soros are ready to do anything to keep this

supremacy… at any

cost…

OK, OK, so if you wanna throw one of these self proclaimed pundits off, you just need

to ask him or her

this question: what does it really mean that the dollar is the hegemonic currency?

I mean… how does the

United States benefit from having a currency that is being used for the international trade?

Is it really

that important?

Really?

And the most important question of all…

Could the American Dollar lose its

status?

Could it be replaced by other currencies like the EURO or the Chinese YUAN?

Today we are going to

answer all of these questions but before we do… let's take a look back at history.

If you've been following VisualPolitik for a long time, you already know that Argentina

is in dire

Straits and they need to ask for Money loans from International investors.

In these cases, the usual

procedure is to print what we call a DEBT BOND.

This is a piece of paper that says 'If you give me THIS

amount of money, I will give it back to you in, say, 10 years, with interest'.

So far, so good.

But

imagine this situation.

Let's say that you lend 3000 Argentinian pesos to the Argentinian Government.

In

the moment we do this video, summer 2018, those 3000 pesos equal 100 American dollars.

But…

What would

happen in the year 2028?

We don't know!

But chances are, the Argentinian currency will have been devalued

more and more.

By then, maybe those 3000 pesos wouldn't even buy a bag of 'Doritos'

This is why, international investors, smart as they are, say to Argentina 'Wait, wait

a minute, dude…

OK,

I will lend you that money, don't worry…

BUT you will denominate that debt in Dollars…

American dollars!

This way, I give you 300 bucks and you will pay me back 300 bucks plus interest…

Understood, man?'

Yes, my dear viewers, this is how an investor protects himself from would-be devaluations.

But hold on just a second because we aren't just talking about Argentina!

In fact, most of the World's

countries choose the greenback as the currency in which they issue their notes.

And this is why, you can

read headlines like this one in every financial newspaper.

https://www.gob.mx/shcp/documentos/el-gobierno-federal-emite-nuevo-bono-global-en-dolares-a-plazo-de-10-

anos EL GOBIERNO FEDERAL (Mexicano) EMITE NUEVO

BONO GLOBAL EN DÓLARES A PLAZO DE 10 AÑOS

The Mexican Government will issue debt bonds denominated in dollars to be paid in 10 years.

As you can imagine, we are not just talking about governments here.

For example, anytime ARAMCO, the

Saudi Arabian oil company wants to sell their dinosaur juice to, say, India, they say 'Wait,

wait a

moment, dude… what are you doing with those… coins I don't even know how much they're

worth… no way dude,

you are paying in dollars, American dollars, because this is a currency I trust'

This explains why 60% of the foreign reserve currencies held at the central Banks are dollars.

In the

world, there over 1.67 TRILLION dollars in circulation and more than half of them are

outside US.

There

is no international law that says the dollar must be the global reference.

But most people trust this

currency for international trade.

And here it comes the real question…

WHAT-IS-THIS-USE-FOR?

I mean, how does America benefit from having

their currency circulating all over the place?

Well… it depends.

If you are a company or a regular

citizen… this is completely irrelevant to you.

Arguably, we could say it's worse.

BUT, if you are the American Government… oh boy!

Having the hegemonic currency is like a gift from

heaven…

Why?

We're gonna tell you straight ahead!

A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS

We told you a thousand times here at VisualPolitik… the worst thing that can happen to a country

is

HYPERINFLATION.

This means that all of a sudden, prices go sky high.

But how is hyperinflation created?

You also know the answer… in most of the cases, this is a 100% monetary phenomenon.

If a Central Bank

starts printing money like there's no tomorrow, the currency devalues.

But why?

What's the connection between printing money and losing the value of that money?

You see… when

we talk about currency, we have to consider it as just another product.

Yes, you heard that right.

Currencies work under the same principles as oil, oranges or mobile phones: supply and

demand.

For

example, the Venezuelan Bolivar has very little demand.

Only Venezuelans use it.

So, when the Central

Bank of Venezuela prints a lot of Bolivars, this is, expands the Currency supply, the

price is going to

fall.

This means, the currency will devalue.

Nonetheless, American dollar's demand can't stop growing.

Everybody, around the globe, uses it for

international trade.

This means that the Federal Reserve has a big margin to print money without risking

devaluation.

And now you might wonder…

Why would the Federal Reserve want to print more money?

Well… let's look at an

example.

Imagine you've lent 100 dollars to the American Government.

And now you want them to pay you

back.

So you go there and they tell you: 'Suuuure man!!!

How much is it…? 100 bucks!

No prob, dude!

Just

go to that building next to this one, the one where it says 'FE-DE-RAL RE-SERVE'

and tell them to print

you those 100 bucks in just a second!!!'.

This practice is called 'MONETIZING DEBT'.

And yes, when you tell things like this to your friend, the

smartass, the one who thinks he is an expert in geopolitics, he will have no idea of what

you are talking

about.

But the truth is that this hegemonic currency is what allows America to issue more and more

debt, more

easily than any other country.

And this is why it is so normal to find headlines like this one.

America's debt crisis is coming -- interest payments will hit a trillion dollars a year

Having such a big debt is not really great news for American taxpayers.

In this other video we told you

why.

But hold on just a second because I know what you are thinking… is America as irresponsible

with its

monetary policy as Argentina or Venezuela?

And the answer is… of course not!

You see, all the Central

Banks print new bills year after year.

And not only print but generate more money electronically.

The

difference is on the proportions.

On this chart you can see the increase of the monetary supply, what we call the M2 indicator

of the

American Federal Reserve.

As you can see, the number of dollars grows year after year.

But… what happens

if we compare it with the Argentinian PESO?

… well, you can see the difference… and what happens when we

compare it with the Venezuelan Bolivar?

I guess there's no need to comment.

In just 9 years, Venezuela

has multiplied their monetary supply by 100…

By 100! while America has not even doubled it.

Bonus fact: while making this chart, we decided not to include the year 2018 because otherwise,

the

yellow part would cover everything.

This year, the Central Bank of Venezuela has multiplied their

monetary supply by 4000.

And… this is one of the reasons why the American Dollar is the most used currency

on the planet: because

it is stable.

While other Central Banks print money like crazy, the Federal Reserve is pretty responsible.

And now you might wonder…

What happens with other currencies like the Swiss Franc or the Sterling Pound?

If there is one stable currency in the world, it's the Swiss Franc, right?

Well… you are right.

In fact,

pay attention to this part of the video because this is going to surprise you.

Despite the dollar's

importance, it is not the only reserve currency on the planet.

Far from it!

Check this out!

A MULTICURRENCY WORLD

We said it at the beginning of the video: 60% of the foreign currency reserves are held

on greenbacks.

But what happens with the other 40%?

The second most used currency is the EURO, which represents 20% of the reserves.

After that we have the

Japanese Yen and the Sterling Pound.

But these are not the only ones!

Many central banks have reserves

denominated in Australian dollars or even Swiss Francs.

Despite not being that common, everybody

appreciates these coins for their stability.

But the question here is… if what you need for a currency to have a high demand is to

be stable… why

don't we use Swiss Francs as much as dollars?

The answer is that there are many less Swiss francs on the

market.

Think about it, Switzerland has 8.5 million inhabitants.

The United States has 300.

This means that the

Swiss National Bank doesn't need to issue as many bills.

Remember how I said the World has 1.67 trillion dollars?

Well, the Swiss Franc doesn't even have 1

trillion.

This means that it is harder to find francs than dollars for a transaction.

On the other hand,

America is the World's biggest market.

This means that thousands of companies from all over the World

sell their products here.

So imagine you are an Australian company and you are selling mobile phones in New York.

How do they pay

you?

With American dollars, of course!

Then what do you do with those greenbacks?

You change them to your

local currency.

So now who will have the American cash?

Of course, that would be the Australian bank

where you made the exchange.

In other words, the more America trades with the World, the more dollars will circulate

around the globe.

This is a currency that is stable, abundant and supported by the biggest economy.

Decades ago, no other

currency could be a match for the greenback.

But, as you know, the World is changing.

At this point, I guess you can see where I'm going with this.

At the beginning of this video, I asked

you…

Is it possible that the dollar will lose that hegemony?

Or, at least, be less important than it is

Today?

The answer is… yes.

As U.S. Trumpets 'America First,' Rest of the World Is Moving On

We have been telling you week after week here, at VisualPolitik…

Donald Trump wants to Protect America

from international trade.

His first move was to cancel free trade agreements with EU and Asia.

After

this, he introduced tariffs to steel so companies like Harley Davidson are leaving the country.

Trump has

also announced that he was to end NAFTA, which is the trade agreement between US, Canada

and Mexico.

In

other words, Trump's America wants to isolate itself from the international market…

So what does this

mean?

Well… it means the other countries will have less dollars.

Add to this other news… like this one.

Europe's central banks are starting to replace dollar reserves with the yuan

Or... this other one…

Russia Plans Yuan Bond Sale With Sanctions Threat Nearing

But don't get so excited, yet!

It is true, the Chinese YUAN, also known as RENMINBI, used to be an almost

unknown currency in the international market.

It was only used inside of China.

Nonetheless, in recent

years, some Central Banks are starting to buy it.

But, of course, this doesn't mean that banks will start

changing all their dollars to yuans overnight.

In fact, there are many things we don't know about the Chinese renminbi.

Things that your friend, the

smartass, probably won't know about.

But don't worry because in the following weeks there is going to be

How The Federal Reserve Works (And Who Really Owns It) - Duration: 9:44.

The Federal Reserve: the cornerstone of the American economy.

For just over a century the Fed has overseen the financial system of the US, but its track

record has been far from perfect. Worse yet, it has such a unique and convoluted

structure that it's very difficult for people to really understand it, which is why unsurprisingly

the Fed has been subject to various conspiracy theories, from being owned by the Rothschilds

to being operated by lizard people. Today, we're going back to the dawn of American

finance to see how the Fed was created, how it works and who really owns it.

This video is brought to you by Skillshare, where you can find a ton of different classes

including my own series of videos on how the stock market works.

You can watch them for free by registering with the link in the description.

America during the late 19th century was a nation in turmoil and not just in the literal

sense. The Civil War was no doubt devastating, but

even during the peace that followed America was plagued by frequent and deep economic

depressions. The underlying cause was simple: America just

lacked a proper financial system and more importantly, it didn't have a central bank

to save the day when things turned bad. Now, keep in mind, central banking wasn't

a new concept. The Dutch were the first to come up with a

central bank in 1609 and it was instrumental in transforming the Netherlands from a swampy

backwater into a global economic empire. Following the example of the Dutch, the English

created the Bank of England in 1694, which of course became the backbone of the British

Empire. But it's exactly this association with the

British that made the Founding Fathers reluctant to use the same model in the United States.

There were two attempts at establishing a central bank even despite public opposition:

Alexander Hamilton himself led the first movement in 1791.

But in both cases the systems lasted under 20 years and did little to stabilize the situation.

And by all accounts the situation was very very bad.

Back then even a single local bank failing could result in nationwide panics.

People knew that no one could save their bank if it went bust, so as soon as rumors of insolvency

started spreading, everyone frantically started withdrawing whatever they had, bankrupting

otherwise healthy and solvent banks simply out of fear.

Such bank runs happened with frightening regularity and the depressions that followed were long

and painful. Of course, American bankers realized very

well just how bad their industry was doing. Paul Warburg, one of the great American bankers

of his day, said in 1907 that the American banking system then was at about the same

point as 15th century Italy or Babylon in 2,000 BC.

Just a few months after Warburg made that statement, the country suffered the Panic

of 1907 and it was particularly severe. To start things off, in 1906 a devastating

earthquake destroyed 80% of San Francisco. With reconstruction efforts underway, capital

was very tight and because all the money back then was in paper form it was much more difficult

to reallocate it across the country. One banker tried to abuse that by manipulating

the stock price of the United Copper company back on Wall Street.

He hoped to see his shares rise exponentially in value, but instead they crashed, dragging

down the entire stock market with them. That banker was involved in 10 different banks

across the East Coast and one after another these banks failed as people assumed they

were insolvent and withdrew all their money. Pretty soon even banks that had nothing to

do with that guy were going under, and so the fearful bankers of America turned to the

only man with the power to save them: J. P. Morgan.

Back then, John Morgan was the king of Wall Street, and even today the bank he created

is the largest one in America. He wasn't the wealthiest man at the time,

that title belonged to John Rockefeller, but Morgan was certainly the man everyone turned

to when things got bad. In October 1907 Morgan summoned the great

bankers of the day to his office at 23 Wall Street.

With the collective capital of America's big banks, Morgan arranged for the rescue

of the healthy banks that were nevertheless near bankruptcy due to irrational fears.

Virtually the same thing would happen a century later in 2008 when the government bailed out

the banks, but this time it was happening entirely thanks to private individuals like

John Morgan. Once the panic was contained, it became clear

to everyone that a central bank was necessary and Congress immediately passed legislation

to create one. However, that was pretty much the only thing

everyone agreed on: the actual details of how it would work sparked long and fierce

debates that halted any progress. The agricultural South, for example, was afraid

that a powerful central bank would give Washington and Wall Street too much power over them.

The bankers meanwhile wanted to make sure that the central bank would not be manipulated

by political interests: they wanted it to be as independent as possible from Washington.

The sheer number of competing parties made creating a central bank extremely difficult

and negotiations would in fact take over 5 years to finalize.

What's interesting though, is that these negotiations weren't happening on Capitol

Hill. Instead, they were held 600 miles south of

Washington on Jekyll Island in Georgia. That resort was home to an exclusive club

of over a hundred of the wealthiest men at the time, including John Morgan.

Of course, only a select few would help draft the actual plan for the central bank and it

wouldn't be until 1913 that legislation would actually come to pass.

The newly created Federal Reserve was truly a miracle of compromise.

To accommodate all the various interests of the diverse United States, the Fed became

a central bank unlike any other in the world. To begin with, it wasn't even a single bank,

instead it was a network of twelve regional banks each governed by local bankers and businessmen.

Some of these banks were in obvious places, like New York and Chicago, but many of the

other locations came down to politics. The Senator from Missouri, for example, was

a key vote needed to pass legislation, which why today Missouri is the only state to have

two federal reserve banks within its borders. To appease Washington, these twelve regional

banks would have a single governing body, comprised of seven people appointed by the

president and confirmed by the Senate. To limit the president's power, he can only

appoint one governor every two years with a 14-year term.

But the really unique part of the Fed's structure, and you can thank John Morgan for

that, is the fact that each regional bank is actually structured as a private corporation

that has its own stock. Here's how it works: every nationally-chartered

bank in America is required by law to keep 6% of its capital in its regional reserve

bank. In exchange, that private bank receives an

equivalent amount of shares in the regional reserve bank.

These shares, however, are quite different from the shares of public companies.

Their price is fixed at $100 per share and they cannot be sold or traded.

They carry voting rights to about two-thirds of the Board of Directors for that regional

reserve bank, but as we know the real power is in the Board of Governors appointed by

the President. What these shares do have, however, is a fixed

6% dividend per year. It's worth noting that this dividend doesn't

entitle the banks to any the Fed's profits. Instead, everything the Fed earns above that

6% payout goes directly into the Treasury. And keep in mind, the Fed is very profitable:

in 2017 it sent $80 billion to the Treasury, while only paying out $14 billion to the regular

banks that hold its stock. So who are the shareholders of the Federal

Reserve? Well, basically every big bank in America.

The full list is 150 pages long, but pretty much every name you know appears on it.

But here's the beautiful thing: most of America's big banks are public corporations.

In other words, if you want to benefit and make money off of the unique structure of

the Federal Reserve you can do that by purchasing stock in American banks.

Since ownership in the Fed depends on capital, the bigger the bank, the bigger its ownership

stake. Therefore, it would be wisest to start from

the top of the list. And speaking of the stock market, in case

you somehow missed it last month I released a 20-minute animated series of videos on how

In a 'Boycott In-N-Out' World, Is It Possible to Find an Ethical Burger? - Duration: 1:57.

- [Narrator] A recently discovered financial document

has uncovered a $25,000 donation

by In-N-Out Burger to the California GOP.

While that's not surprising for a burger chain

that prints Bible verses on its cups and burger wrappers,

Liberals in the six states

with In-N-Out Burger have threatened a boycott.

Where will they scarf down burgers now?

Here are five burger chains

that don't support conservative causes.

Number one, Red Robin.

Known for gourmet burger options and bottomless steak fries,

Red Robin's corporate guidelines keep money from going

to political organizations, campaigns and religious groups.

Number two, Whataburger.

Found in Texas and other Southern territories, Whataburger

also has policies that forbid political donations.

But the beloved burger chain is quite community-minded,

donating to cancer research, child abuse prevention,

disaster relief and more.

Number three, Five Guys.

Five Guys got bad press back in 2013

when a North Carolina franchisee vocally opposed Obamacare.

But a company spokesperson was quick to interject that

the franchise owner's views don't represent the company.

Five Guys typically steers clear of partisan issues.

Number four, Fatburger.

An L.A. based chain found mostly in Western states

and Texas, Fatburger shies away from politics.

Not advocating for liberal or conservative causes.

Though its CEO, Andy Wiederhorn,

has long opposed attempts to raise the minimum wage.

Number five, Shake Shack.

Based in New York City, the politics of Shake Shack

shouldn't be all that surprising.

Founder Danny Meyer is an anti-tipping pioneer,

who last year raised his prices to pay employees more.

And ahead of its TV return,

Shake Shack created two Will and Grace milkshakes

that gave two dollars each to GLAAD.

Where will you be eating burgers?

Sound off in the comments.

Jennifer Lawrence Admits She Isn't 'Very Strict' When It Comes to Her Diet - Duration: 3:08.

 Jennifer Lawrence is revealing how she keeps in shape while indulging in some of her beloved foods

 The Oscar-winning actress, 28, opened up about her diet and exercise in an interview with Vogue published on Thursday

Lawrence, who has been outspoken in the past about what she eats, admits there are certain things about staying fit she doesn't care for

 "I don't like when people say, 'I only do this or eat this,' " she said. "Because I eat

I'm not very strict with my diet: If I want a piece of pizza, I eat a piece of pizza

But I do work out more than normal because I have a certain way that I want to look, and a way that I want to fit into my clothes

"  Lawrence added, "I get photographed when I'm not asking for it, so there's added pressure to look and feel your best

For me, it's easier to put that extra effort into the gym instead of putting the extra effort into the gym instead of putting the extra effort into: 'Oh no, I can't eat that

' "  In 2012, Lawrence told Elle in an interview she would never "starve myself for a part

"  "I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner,' " she said

"That's something I was really conscious of during training when you're trying to get your body to look exactly right

I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong — not thin and underfed."  She added, "I eat like a caveman, I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumors

In Hollywood, I'm obese. I'm considered a fat actress."  The star revealed how her diet changed when she prepared to portray a former Russian ballerina in Red Sparrow

 Speaking to Vanity Fair for their March 2018 issue, Lawrence said the film "was the first time that I was really hungry and disciplined

"  "I can't be in character as an ex-ballerina and not feel like an ex-ballerina," she explained

 Lawrence admitted she had a "meltdown" after only eating "five banana chips."  "I can't work on a diet

I'm hungry. I'm standing on my feet. I need more energy," she said.
