What is a Roll Arm Sofa? English Rolled Arm Furniture by Roger and Chris - Duration: 4:25.- Hi, I'm Chris and I'm here today to talk
about one of our favorite types of sofas,
the English Roll Arm Sofa.
We have two types of English roll Arm sofas
one is called Basel it's pronounced Basel.
99.9% of our customers call it Basil
and I'm fine with that but it is Basel.
That is a tight-back English Roll Arm sofa
and reference our other videos on what a tight-back means,
but that's that.
The other one is Blythe.
Blythe is named after a, actually a childhood friend of mine
weird thing, anyway.
Basel and Blythe are both English Roll Arm sofas
and the English Roll Arm really refers
to the side profile of the sofa.
It has a descending line to it, it swoops back a little bit.
It's rolled over in a very specific way.
It has a front T cushion on it which means the cushion
is actually extended all the way to the outside edges
and the arms are recessed slightly.
Here are a couple things that are great about this sofa
and why it's so popular.
First of all it's very versatile,
it's a very traditional looking sofa.
It's very distinctly British in style.
As you can imagine from the name but it actually works
in a lot of different types of environments really well.
We have folks use them in really modern settings.
They're great in more country farmhouse settings.
They're very nice in a lot of Manhattan lofts
that we've built them for.
So it works everywhere.
I think a thing that's really nice about this type of sofa
is that it gives you what I call a lot of seating space
for your buck.
Everyone's concerned about overall scale.
A lot of us are working with rooms that are maybe
a little bit smaller than we'd like them to be.
And we have to maximize that space, right.
The nice thing about English Roll Arm is the arms are only
about six and 1/2 inches and they are recessed.
So I think on a shorter sofa it's still gonna sit
like a larger sofa would.
Which means you can still have room for some side tables
and floor lamps.
And you can have room to walk around it
because my personal pet peeve is walking through a room
and stubbing my toe on a piece of furniture
because it's too big.
I still wanna be able to lie down on it
so that is gonna do a really good job
of giving you the best of both worlds.
The scale of it's right for more rooms.
We have a lot of customers who are going for the tight-back
because it always look neat and tidy, it's very elegant,
you don't have those back pillows that can sometimes
get smooshed and need a little bit of fluffing.
And it also can be made a little bit smaller
than a pillow back can, save a few inches here and there.
And in the end those little tweaks can add up
when you're working with limited space.
The pillow back I think is one of our most comfortable sofas
it's just fantastically comfortable to sit back in.
It's really soft and cuddly.
I think another thing that's nice about it
is the arm rest is
some arms, I love Chesterfields we do a lot of them
but that arm is really high and I'm tall but even still
I feel like I'm sitting like this which is weird.
I think the thing that's nice about that English Roll Arm
is it does give you a little bit more relaxed position
for your arm to rest.
If you wanna lie back on it it's great 'cause
it's not necessarily gonna prop you up too much
and you almost lie a little bit more flat with the pillow,
really comfortable.
And it's really graceful, it's timeless.
It's been popular for several 100 years,
I don't anticipate it going out of style any time soon.
They look great in a wide range of fabrics.
They look really good in leather.
They're not so commonly done in leather.
We do, I think a little bit more of them in leather
than most people.
I think they look awesome in leather so definitely
consider that too if you're not sure.
But really popular in velvets.
We do a lot of them in blue velvets, gray velvets,
a lot of cream linen blends are popular with that style.
It's just, it's traditional but not too fussy.
It's elegant but not off-putting or grandiose.
I think it's just a perfect option for a lot of rooms,
a lot of environments.
And I think it might just be what you're looking for.
And thanks so much for watching our video
we've got a whole lot of other videos on similar topics
related to furniture and design.
So I hope you do check those out.

we'll be happy to answer any questions you can throw at us.

Sadhguru - Nation is just an idea, It is not a reality.. - Duration: 11:08.Chelameshwar: I suppose so long as human beings being what they are and the society is ,
they are certainly bound to be certain things which are right and certain things…certain
acertain conduct which are right and certain conduct which is not right.
Now I don't think anybody will contribute to the
proposition that corruption is right by …from any point of view.
Sadhguru: Let me tell you.
Chelameshwar: Somebody sitting in a public office, making money, using his office.
Sadhguru: Let me tell you.
See you are calling it corruption.
I have…
I have had the unfortunate privilege of sometimes moving closely with the people whom
you consider corrupt.
Okay?
Chelameshwar:All right.
(Laughter) Sadhguru: And you will be amazed
you will be amazed and – initially it was shocking to me but when I
really looked through them, I see their reasoning.
They don't think they're corrupt.
(Laughter) I tell you.
They don't think they're corrupt.
They… they just say everybody would do the same thing.
I got the opportunity, they don't have the opportunity.
(Laughter) So they are only complaining that they don't
have the opportunity.
So what is corruption, what is not corruption itself is not defined.
I am not trying to give a (an?) escape route for all these people,
who are doing horrible things to the nation.
So the only thing that can fix this country, in terms of corruption is
we need people who have a huge passion for this nation.
Okay?
So right now we need somebody who is capable and who has great passion for this nation.
That is the only way – it is not all problems will be fixed –
that is the only way we start moving towards a solution.
Right now, we are heading for a big problem, because what holds a nation together,
everybody must understand – if you want to run a nation - whatever the
nation, you must understand what is it that binds
the people?
There is some passion because nation is just an idea.
It is not a reality, let's understand this.
Nation is just an idea.
What is it that binds all the people as one nation,
that idea and that passion has to be constantly strengthened.
If you constantly keep weakening it and then try to hold the nation together,
you will not succeed.
This is the time this generation of people have this responsibility
that if we do not change the trajectory of this nation the way it's going right now,
there will be no one 'India' in another fifty years of time.
It may not take fifty years.
Chelameshwar: But how does this generation do it?
Sadhguru: See 'how' is not one aspect alone.
There're many aspects to it.
See it's all right where people wear imported watches, imported clothes,
but they shouldn't import their brains and hearts from somewhere else.
It's very important.
(Laughs) And that is happening in the form of our education.
In the way we are culturing ourselves.
There is nothing wrong with anything that comes from outside the country,
we must take the best that comes from everywhere from the world.
That is the nature of any evolving, growing society.
But at the same time, what holds us together as a nation should not be sacrificed.
If you sacrifice that you won't be able to hold it together.
People will not stay together.
You know you can't hold three, four brothers together.
Unless you bind them emotionally and create a passion towards something,
you can't bind them together.
If the parents did not take care of that, you can't hold them together.
They will go away somewhere.
If they live far away, they won't fight.
If they come close, they will be in your court.
(Laughter) You must understand what holds the nation
together.
The basic thing that held this nation together was always that - in this nation,
we did not believe this nor that.
Only thing is we knew we have to become free.
Liberation was the highest goal.
If you keep it that way, if you manage to activate this back in the
society you will see people will stay together.
Otherwise every group will form its own belief systems
and they will all go separate.
You can't keep them together.
At the very birth of this nation, we broke into three pieces.
Every hundred years, we may come to it or less,
if we do not take care of a few fundamentals.
Chelameshwar: And what measures are to be taken to
create that atmosphere where people work towards that goal?
Sadhguru:It's best that what you're strong on, you build on that.
You don't try to build on America United States of America in India - it's
never going to work.
You build an India in India, a strong powerful India you can build.
The North American people are there the way they are
because they came there for a different reason and they came together for that reason
and that reason is working for them.
Here it's not like that.
This is a completely different reality.
You're trying to super-impose another reality upon yourself.
That will not work.
This is not against anything, this is not for anything.
I am speaking English language, amn't I?
So I am not against anything for that matter but I am for that which works.
I am against all those things which do not work.
Why do you want to invest time and life and people's lives
in things that do not work? we clearly know from my experience of working
with village, being in the villages,
I clearly know at least fifty to fifty-five percent of people,
their existence is like cattle, not like human beings the quality of life.
Okay?
They are somehow managing, so we think they are okay.
So they're somehow managing.
That is not life.
After sixty-seventy years, two generations of people,
their lives are gone and if still we can't find basic solutions
that means we're doing something wrong, isn't it?
Chelameshwar: And why do you think it didn't work for sixty seven years?
What is your analysis and understanding of it?
Sadhguru: It's essentially because of this.
We are trying to transform people from being Indian to being English.
Do you understand?
English language is the only thing we should have picked up
because that's the passport to the world.
I am saying what we pick up… if you go shopping, what you pick up from a shop is by choice.
If you pick up compulsively or you buy whatever they're selling,
it's a stupid thing.
So the idea of MahatmaGandhi and the rest of the clan fighting for freedom
and getting the British out was, so that we could choose what we want to do
with our lives.
We did not choose because we were lethargic or we were just overwhelmed
or we were just… our idea of superiority was
you know misplaced.
We somewhere thought anybody who conquers must be superior.
We just tried to implement that system as it is,
including the judiciary everything as it is.
See I am not talking about traditional values.
I am not talking about India being an isolated nation doing its own thing.
No.
As I said earlier, if you go shopping, you must choose what you want.
You must not take whatever the salesman is pushing on you.
Something is fifty percent discount, so you don't buy it.
You will buy something that you need, isn't it?
So even from the rest of the world, the same thing.
You pick up what is going to be good for us.
You don't pick up something that they're peddling to us.
So what they don't need they would like to peddle to you.
You should have the sense not to take it in.
You must take in what we need and what'll work for us.
English language works for us.
Oh we picked it up.
May be we didn't pick it up, it was thrust upon us,
it doesn't matter but somehow it worked out for us.
Everything else, you must see.
From a simple thing to anything – I was… you know… there is a classic example
– The tribal school close to the Ashram where
we have been working.
First I went there about fifteen years ago to see
we thought we will, you know, participate in this school in some way
and I wanted to see how the children are.
I went there and all these kids there were just about eleven, twelve kids
in the school, and they are all wearing ties.
The ties are worn here (Gestures)like a necklace, okay - long string and tie here.
(Laughs) So I said first thing is 'remove these damn
ties.
Why these children are hanging this tie here on the chest and walking around?
(Laughs) This is not a necklace.'
But the kids don't know what's the difference.
Something you have to wear like this, they know only this and they are wearing it.
In Tamil Nadu, if you wear a tie in the summer, it's as good as a noose you know.
(Laughter) I am saying - from something so simple
what food to eat, what is comfortable in tropical weather,
what is the best thing to eat, what is the best thing to wear is something
that we have to look at, isn't it?
You just don't have to imitate somebody, simply because they managed to conquer you.
They did not conquer you because they were superior people.
They had gun powder and you didn't.
That's all.

Feminine Is Not Weakness, It's Another Form of Strength - Sadhguru@JNU - Duration: 17:19.Sadhguru another very important concept which is very important in this campuses
of feminism and in one of your earlier videos you have said that feminists are
just desperately trying to be men no no you are going by other people's comments
not mine you're going by some delhi lawyers making some stupid comments but
still it's a guru what would you what is your idea of what how would you see
first of all a man and a woman are not two different species we need to
understand that till let's say 50 years ago or 100 years ago till technologies
came there were certain things in life that only a man could do because it
everything work on this planet were essentially done by man's muscle yes
everything by human muscle mainly man's muscle woman took to those kind of
activities where muscle is not the main investment there are other aspects to
life they took to that naturally so that's how the world was running today
women are out doing many things not because of liberalism not because of
feminism simply because of technology technology has devalued oh it's a bad
word to user technology has devalued brawn only brain power matters now still
it matters in India even if you want to get on to your bus in India you need
some muscle okay but if technology as it gets very all-pervading in every aspect
of our life you will come to a place where you don't have to think who is a
man who is a woman why should you think right now I am talking to you what does
it matter to me whether you're a man or a woman I'm asking only in certain
relationships in certain spaces being a male or a female is relevant isn't it
for you to do your research what does it matter whether you're a man or a woman
if you have a few brain cells working you can do it right
so this thing about excessively trying to separate male and female as if
they're two separate species is a wrong way to approach this is happening in
reaction to exploitative situations which have existed in the past
but even this exploitative situations are - it is true to some extent to a
large extent it is true let me say this but it is not absolutely true it is not
true all women in this country or all women in the world were exploited it's
not true many women lived wonderfully well yes maybe they never cared of the
whole of their homes and did some work outside but they lived wonderfully well
doing fulfilling their part of their work beautifully and doing it so this
idea that man and women always have to fight to achieve something he is a wrong
idea so instead of talking about feminism I
am saying what is feminine has to find equal value in the society means one
thing that needs to happen is see if you create survival of the fittest kind of
atmosphere masculine will rule when I say masculine I am NOT saying man a
woman may become more masculine in given situations and Jimmy succeed but the
loss of feminine is a loss for the species hello if we lose everything
that's feminine everything that's gentle everything that's beautiful is lost
simply because we have created a crude society where unless you are like this
you can't win you are destroying the species the beauty of feminine is gone
then men will wonder why the hell of their life after some time yes
it will come so for any wonderful society to happen it's very important we
create an ecosystem where both masculine and feminine can function but from the
caveman's time where human muscle ruled everything and women were kept in a
certain way because muscle was the most important thing once again we are
creating the same system in the modern world survival of the fittest dog eat
dog rat race whatever you want to call it if you do this you will kill the
feminine' maybe not the women women may succeed they may build themselves like
men and they succeed but isn't it a great loss for the species that
somewhere you understand feminine is weakness this must go feminine is not
weakness it's another form of strength it's another form of life expression as
masculine is one form of expression feminine is another form at expression
in yoga the masculine is called right Pingala and feminine is left so I'm
sorry I'm on the right
but we are on equal terms to and Torah
Satguru v as students stay away from our homes from the familial emotional
comforts in terms of our careers we move out seeking greener pastures
in that we seek company in opposite sex some people get into relationships which
gradually progresses to physical intimacy so grew the question is then
why as generations we cannot discuss it openly or is premarital sex still a
taboo see this is not some kind of a prescription this is an individual need
right now we must understand this in this society we handled human sexuality
like this before a girl attains puberty they are named this is the boy you're
going to marry at the age of six or seven they don't marry but they say they
keep telling him your uncle's son this guy you want to marry him you want to
marry him they're telling him you're going to marry her so they have not seen
each other they have not met each other they have nothing going but emotionally
they're being bound before they touch each other physically they want them to
be emotionally bound in a strong way so this is the technique of the culture how
they dealt with it so when you become or attain to your
puberty when your body blossoms into certain possibilities now your emotions
are already with somebody so you handle your body you don't go wild because your
emotions are already attached to somebody so by the time they're 1516 the
girl gets married by the time they're 17 18 the boy gets
married they get into agriculture a business of whatever whatever their
activity so one important aspect of the life of the youth is settled one thing
is emotion the thing is a physical requirement both
are settled at an early age and of course those days children came within a
year or two years so they got engaged and they got busy and they life went on
all right today our lives have changed because by the time you finish education
most people are minimum 24 25 years of age PhD means 30 what 35 I don't know
what it depends how kind your professor is so let us say average education time
is 25 years of age by the time they get employment and settle down somewhere to
reasonable financial security thirty years of time all right
the peak of human hormonal function is between fifteen to thirty you are not
teaching people some ascetic way to live you're not giving them some sadhana that
they're transforming their energy to some other possibility and attaining to
something else there is no such thing and this close proximity with opposite
sex if you don't want to address it then you will create an unhealthy Society
very unhealthy Society which unfortunately is finding expression in
violent ways in our society because we've not addressed the fundamental
needs of a human being first thing is nourishment if nourishment is taken care
of you must understand nourishment is
survival once survival is taken taken care of
naturally the species this is not even individual the species that you are is
longing to reproduce this is how it's built
it's longing to reproduce because this is survival of the species
if people don't reproduce there is not going to be human race isn't it so your
body and your mind plays many tricks and how when you look at somebody you
suddenly think they're the most beautiful suddenly you think they're the
most tastic we will discover later many
things but initially everything is clouded see I'm telling you let us say
you are 10 12 years of age you looked at people they're quite normal
suddenly you became 14 every little bump on somebody's body is a world by itself
simply because your hormones begin to influence everything in a way you are
more your intelligence is had your intelligence is hijacked by your
hormones now this is not to be judged as bad or good this is a natural process
there may be a few people who will go beyond that it's fantastic for them if
they can go beyond that they are not compulsive about it they went beyond it
fantastic for that person but you expect the whole society to go beyond it you
just stupid such a thing doesn't happen so definitely the debate of when and how
sexuality should happen has to come in but now we are still having a certain
cultural aspects to us that we are i emotional not we are still an emotion a
lot people suffer immensely when things happen without the needed emotions a
whole lot of people at least there may be a few people who are about that but a
whole lot of people suffer so for our country for our society how to deal with
this without causing a major disruption in the social structure is something
that we must debate you must do research on it how to do it though I get a little
hint of the answer of my question from your elaboration but still I will ask it
so I had this belief or in fact maybe I was made to believe this whole concept
of one life one partner but now when I see your observe the whole monogamous
relationships do not seem to be existing anymore the whole idea of it is gone
what you think about it it's not gone maybe in JNU it's gone in
the in the rest of the world it's not really gone even if you even if you go
to United States where there seems to be so much promiscuity even there when
people marry they believe it's for life but of course two years later life gets
over that's another matter but when they get married they believe it's for life
that's why they invest in the diamonds they think it's a lifetime investment
they're putting on that but unfortunately for all kinds of things
relationships go wrong and one reason they go wrong so easily is because
people are meeting much later in their life see when people met much younger
when their personalities were not concrete ashed they met early 17 18 then
two people became like one person very easily now they're meeting at 30 now
both are concrete eyes two concrete blocks but I am seeing young people if
they marry they hang on if people marry over fifty years of age they have gone
because they have again softened up concrete as again
between 2015 30 and 50 it's a bit of a concrete block you know strong persona
now friction happens well if they're wise they will find something beyond
well monogamy and polygamy or whatever kind of gammy if you want to see the
important thing we need to understand is you know we are all here you and me are
here this means a man and woman came together some time ago maybe you think
they think are their parents you know they don't Lao they don't do sex they
don't do anything they just because a priest uttered a mantra you were born
probably no it's not like that somebody had a physical need so they
handle it through marriage and we are here and now we can at a certain age at
a stage in your life after when you become a teen you become always against
marriage but when you were three years of age you were for marriage your
parents marriage when you were three years of age were you not glad your
parents had a stable marriage hello when you're 18 you think of Rhys axe and no
marriage and everything but once again if you become 50 55 then you will look
for a relationship that lasts so it is for you to consider because it's your
life to consider whether you want to live a life where emotionally you're
always looking out for somebody or you settle it in a certain way so that you
can use your intelligence and time to create something else your research your
work of whatever you're doing if emotions and body are settled actually
your ability to use your intelligence will be much better otherwise every day
you have to walk around to find somebody no I'm not making this any of this thing
because I feel so bad in United States people I know and we know that thousands
of people are involved with me people over 40 45 years of age women I'm
saying wonderful people but they are all on this these days they've all gone
online otherwise they go sit in a bar and wait
somebody needs to pick them up today it's terrible
Binda generation I'm sorry tinder generation whatever you want to call it
but I think it's so pathetic when a woman at 45 should have been loud and
respected in a proper atmosphere now she's sitting there looking for some
strange guy to come her way and she's going to make the judgement in the next
10 minutes when he buys her a drink or a dinner or something this is tragic this
is tragic that you will end up without any sense of dignity this doesn't mean
everybody will go that way but you must think of the larger well-being before
you break a social structure you must think whether we can replace it
with a better structure at any point in our life let everybody understand this
whether it's a social structure or a political structure or a psychological
setup in the society whatever before we break it we must think through whether
we have a better alternative system without an alternative system if you
break the existing damn thing that's working reasonably well then it'll go
crazy

Gyrocopter Flight! Is it Crazy or Safe? - Duration: 3:34.
how was the experience?

What's the difference between weather and climate? - Duration: 2:01.Take a look outside your window. Is it hot and sunny? Is it cloudy and rainy?
Is there snow on the ground? When you look out the window, you're seeing what the weather is like today.
Weather is only temporary. For example, a blizzard can turn into a flood after just a few warm spring days.
Climate, on the other hand, is more than just a few warm or cool days.
Climate describes the typical weather conditions in an entire region for a very long time—30 years or more.
Keeping an eye on changing weather can help us plan ahead.
We know that if thunderclouds are forming overhead, it's probably a good idea to stay inside.
But it's important to keep an eye on changes in Earth's climate, too.
And NASA has observed that Earth is getting warmer.
Keeping track of Earth's sea level is one way that we can know how quickly the climate is changing.
As Earth's climate warms, ice in Antarctica and Greenland is melting.
This causes the level of the oceans to rise.
NASA satellites can measure sea level rise from space.
They can also track changes in the climate by measuring the clouds.
We know that changes in the number, size or location of clouds could be caused by a change in Earth's climate.
NASA satellites are always orbiting Earth, looking down at our oceans and clouds.
And they monitor Earth's climate in other ways, too.
It's important to keep an eye on our planet and all the ways that it's changing.
Right now, it's the only one we've got!

Photokina 2018: It is the global photo and film event of the year! - Duration: 2:49.Photokina 2018: The first day of the global photo and film event of the year
and it seems that all visitors are heading to the same booth.
It's really crowded at the Fujifilm site
and there are so many innovations to catch at once.
Fujifilm's Inspire Printing campaign is omnipresent.
More than 10.000 images from European photographers
are displayed across Photokina.
Fujifilm's motto 'Shoot.Print.Share.' has inspired
almost 16.000 people to participate
because every photo is worth printing.
People are really excited that it's not only the older generation
but also the very young people.
So if you go around the exhibition you see pictures
from children, from dogs, from animals,
from holiday, all type of pictures to the real everyday pictures.
And that was really the focus of Fujifilm.
Not the professional photographers but the men in the street
the wider public. And really, it's a fantastic success!
Another fantastic success is Fujifilm's instax story.
At Photokina you can look back at 20 years of instant photography with instax
and afterwards touch and try the newly launched instax SQUARE SQ20.
The new hybrid instant camera for the popular square format
has a variety of great new functions.
The experience is wide.
So you really can express yourself by using a lot of new filters for example.
You can use this motion tool, the jewel of the camera.
And of course the different colours, the different types
and so let's have instax, sketch the instax and have fun.
Let's have fun with the new GFX - is also a true motto for the rangefinder style GFX 50R.
As the latest model in the GFX series of medium format mirrorless digital cameras
the lightweight and compact body is ideal for snapshots, documentaries and portraits.
The biggest development is the form factor.
It's in our heritage of when we launched X Series
we had X-Pro1 and X-Pro2 and X100 style
which were more rangefinder style cameras
as well as having the T series which is more SLR style cameras
so now with the 50R we have both complements.
And there are so many more special features you can catch at Photokina 2018.
You just have to show up to 'Shoot. Print and Share' what you love.
In Hall 4.2 the Fujifilm team is looking forward to see you!

breath when you breathe in all
surroundings so what would you recommend
well this is you are able to access that
dimension of presence when you are not
disturbed by external situations when
you're not being challenged the ego is
inactive inactive at those times and
when you go into ordinary work
situations and so on you begin to relate
to people and immediately the ego with
its old conditioning comes back and
takes you over and you lose yourself in
the roles you play and so on so one when
do you know do you because we had a
questioner earlier that talked about
playing roles and becoming aware of the
role playing afterwards after the event
do you become aware at the end of the
day or to become do we become aware in
individual instances after like a few
minutes after his happen at work at what
point does the you ban has come in it
depends if the situation is minor
I'm aware I guess five minutes after or
maybe into the situation but when I'm
provoked deeply or for instance when I
am deeply criticized by my boss I can be
in this for for a week and only on
weekends when I do the movements to
change the tense body position into
their last one I can manage to unless it
was again yes another a very helpful
thing you can do is not just confine
your presence practice to those periods
at home but bring in small very brief
moments of presence into your everyday
life for example I don't work you can't
work no matter where no matter where you
are you may be sitting at a computer
talking on the phone or whatever it is
let's I'll give you two or three
examples the phone rings
it wants to be answered let it ring two
more times and it's necessary before you
answer it the phone rings normally you
would pick it up yeah let it ring twice
and be present while it rings allow it
to ring but be there in your presence
use it as a signal just tell you be
present now so that's one way of pre
bring a little bit of presence into an
ordinary work situation or you're at a
computer put a flower next to your
computer and occasionally look away from
the screen and look at the flow it
doesn't take long just 20 seconds is
final 30 seconds look at the flower and
feel its aliveness inside you it helps
you to anything natural can bring you
back into presence much more easily than
things that are man-made in their body
at work when you are find a moment turn
away from your desk or whatever it is
and feel the alive as you do your
breathing but not the whole thing just
for a few seconds one conscious breath
in and out is a meditation you don't
have to wait
wait for your meditation until you get
home bring the meditation into the
spaces into your daily life as many
spaces as possible that's what otherwise
the mind has such momentum the egoic
mind that it will drag you along and you
will lose yourself in it bringing in the
small spaces and then your daily life
daily life yeah
in addition to your panoramic breathing
yes that's beautiful and then you will
find that in the midst of situations
right the awareness is more likely to be
there and we've already you may have
listened to what I said to a previous
questioner about becoming aware after
after fallen falling back into old
conditioned behaviors and you will
experience the same thing especially if
you practice bringing Small's these
spaces of awareness into a line then you
will find that gradually presence will
be strong enough even when their boss
speaks to you and Chris even when he's
on the third ring so it's a gradual
process web presence goes into into
every aspect of your life gradually it
permeates your everyday life because
that's what is needed even if you were
the greatest meditator and you could
achieve sublime states twice a day at
home and you meditate it wouldn't help
you if presence does not permeate every
aspect of your life yes and because
otherwise you'll be like the father was
meted he was doing him many the in
Buddhism to have a meta meditation it's
called meditating on loving-kindness so
you sit there and say I love all the
people in this house I love all the
people in this city I love all the
people or the older people all the
people all the people in this house be
at peace all the people in this city be
at peace or the people in this country
be at peace and then the daughter comes
in and says dad
the father says leave me alone can't you
see I'm doing loving-kindness meditation
Thank You Dmitry its but it goes back to
what you're saying earlier can I sense
my that's what you said on page 79 this
is in last week's chapter on core of ego
can I sense my essential beingness the I
am and the background of my life at all
time
yes that's what you're saying to you to
be more accurate can I sense the I am
that I am at this moment
can I sense my essential identity as
consciousness itself even when my boss
is yelling it and then and then perhaps
precisely in moments of greatest
challenge there is a greater intensity
of presence because those moments would
be his most sacred moment which is not
dangerous that's how you know it's so
it's when your greatest challenges
become instead of drawing you into
unconscious reactions when your greatest
challenges intensify your presence then
that that's how it works that's the
miracle and that's how the beauty of
this work thank you again for skyping us
from Moscow thank you thank you very
much thank you okay I'd like to tell
that I'm very familiar with your voice
because I have some recordings of your
talks so your voice already permeated me
and thank you very much for bringing
presence into the life of this planet
thank you thank you thank you I like all
your books in the background there -
Dimitri that's very nice so I want to
look at some of the email questions
which there's a question from Grayson
Pleasant in California that says since
I've been an owner of a dog I find
myself so much more in the present my
question is why am i naturally so much
more present with an animal than I'm
sometimes dealing with people ah yes
well the the animal does not provoke
thought activity because the dog is not
thinking when the dog looks at you the
dog is not thinking what kind of a
person you are the dog is not judging
you there's the dog is at a stage of
consciousness prior to the arrival of
thought although the dog is in that
status certain similarities with with
state of presence which is instead of
going beyond thinking where we are going
in both cases if you are if you know
that way the dogs are a little more
enlightened than we are in some ways the
dogs are more connected with being with
being then we are then normal humans are
normal humans and so that's where they
are all the time yes and I sometimes
called I'm dogs and cats particularly
because that's the the book pet said for
millions of humans they're very
important in their lives right
I call them guardians of being a big
audience because for many people they
fulfill that function they for many
people who are so lost in their minds so
much involved in their thought processes
the only moments they have when they are
not trapped in that is when they are
relating to their animal their page all
right you I have to get to this quote oh
but it well get to that in a moment you
say that the role of the parent should
not be despair children from all
suffering why not
because no at first of all you can't
it's it would be futile to even attempt
of course you protect the child as much
as you can but every human being has to
go through a certain amount of suffering
you cannot come into this planet and
avoid suffering everything that's what
being a human being is yes and there is
a map there's some discord yes yes and
that is how we grow if there were human
being that hell could have avoided all
suffering that human being would be
totally superficial and totally
identified with the external form of
things because it's suffering that
drives you deeper drives you within
where you need to find and by suffering
do you mean not getting what we want
well that's one form of suffering too
there are different forms of suffering
many forms of suffering of course are
generated by the ego itself these are
ultimately unnecessary forms of
suffering right but they don't they are
necessary for as long as you are
unconscious and another word for
suffering would be challenges or
difficulties correct
yeah challenges can't be a human being
without being challenged no that would
be you would miss the whole purpose for
being here okay so you need to see even
your children will not escape their will
through now later and usually sooner
than later they will encounter their
form of suffering whatever it is you
protect them as much as you can but when
you see certain things are inevitable
they may do things unconscious behavior
they may generate their own suffering
self-generated or it may happen to them
from the outside but no matter what it
will happen and then rather than going
into intense anguish see this is human
suffering and every human you had to go
through your forms of suffering in my
case for example I had my parents would
had very heavy pain bodies there was
constant conflict at home and that was
my constant suffering pain party that's
next week yes yes we'll talk about that
okay
no finish the sentence I just want to
say this it cost not only applies to
children it also applies to other people
that may be close to you and going from
their suffering you do what you can to
help them what whatever you can the
important thing is that you don't go
into anguish yourself because by going
into anxiety and anguish yourself you're
not helping them at all because whatever
state you are in transmits itself to
others how does playing a role at work
keep us from being powerful well if you
play a role at work you always have a
secondary motive in what you do because
the ego is at work you're not totally
focused on the task at hand because
there is some self-interest there you
want to protect yourself you want to get
credit for yourself you want to perhaps
eliminate other people around you or
perhaps you want to use other people for
your own purposes a lot of times this
happens when people get promoted
to supervisors yes they were really good
in whatever position they had and then
they get present promoted to supervisors
have a little more power they're not
just now functioning at work for
themselves but now they're over other
people and a little bit of power goes to
their heads
and before you know it that's absolutely
right and that's the the ego if you have
a position of little power then the ego
is kind of there in potential it's there
it's latent as far as your work
situations going on the similar
situation you have in certain
third-world third-world countries uh-huh
where often you find a revolution
overthrows the government and the people
who initiate the revolution have the
best intentions they want eventually
they want to do away with corruption
they want the best for their country the
moment they get into power the latent
ego in them although they had good
intentions comes up and they repeat the
same dysfunction that they wanted to do
away with happens all the time
yes all right charlie lives in stockholm
chalet you were on earlier today we
scheduled on The Oprah would surely well
you've been up a long time I hear you
have a question about raising your
three-year-old daughter go ahead I do
have a question about that a lot of it I
guess has been answered just by
listening to tonight's show but the
question about her is how do you stay
present when you're trying to discipline
your child and she starts screaming and
shouting and she's only three so I can't
really explain to her that it's really
your ego coming out and I feel like
she's learning these roles I guess my
question you know I want her I want to
raise her as a more conscious human
being you know I don't want her to be
awakened at the age of 35 like me how do
you raise a more conscious child and how
do you seem more conscious when you're
dealing with conflict because I don't
want to set a negative pattern for you
know when she's 16 and she wants to
borrow the car
yes yes I would suggest that you pay
first of all pay more attention to your
inner state and to what is happening to
your daughter because I believe you
experience perhaps your daughter causing
you feelings of anxiety sometimes yeah
right on you believe that now that is a
bit that seems to be the case that your
daughter by going through certain kinds
of behavior causes your feelings of
anxiety but ultimately that is not the
case you caused yourself the feelings of
anxiety when your daughter refuses to
eat she's not making you anxious only
you can do that so it is vital what
state of consciousness you are in what
emotional state you are in when you are
relating to your daughter because if
you're often in a state of anxiety you
get into a vicious circle the anxiety
that you believe where it was caused by
a daughter's behavior but it's
ultimately caused by your reaction to
your daughter's behavior that anxiety
then will affect her and that is a
nervous energy field that will provoke
further so-called bad behavior in her
because children absorb I was gonna say
a three-year-old is absorbing that and
picking up that energy more than even
your language yes they're picking up the
energy that you carry yes right yes yes
so your that is there in their language
that's right yeah and so your first
realization is to your first interest
needs to be in any situation with your
child okay there's the external
situation there's what the child is
doing or is not doing but should be
doing or screaming or whatever is or not
eating not wanting your too bad whatever
children do but your first interest
needs to be okay what's my inner state
right now am i accepting this moment
no matter what form it is am I saying
that's true am i what I suggest is the
little mantra that I recommend is to ask
yourself whether you can be there as the
space for whatever your daughter does
can I be the space for this this is a
general thing that many people will find
helpful no matter what situation you go
into in life at work at home wherever
the present moment am I able to accept
this moment as it is or am I saying
this should be different you should
behave differently but she's not
behaving differently she's behaving the
way she's behaving right now you need to
accept that right now she's screaming if
that's what she does this is can I be
the space for that and then you see her
screaming another this is related to the
little exercise we had earlier where you
fail to yourself becoming transparent to
an irritating external situation so that
you don't have a reactive barrier inside
you that's hard to do though when your
child is screaming yes your immediate
instinct I would think is to stop the
child from screaming yes to resist the
screaming to try to prevent more
screaming and so the resistance of that
the angst and anxiety of that creates
more screaming more screaming because if
you could just be calm enough to allow
your calmness to then calm your style
that's easier said than done
yes it's that's your spiritual practice
you don't need any other spiritual
practice for the next yes for the next
ten years yeah that is your main it's
far better than going to a monastery and
meditate all day long it's much more
effective make it that into your
spiritual practice and then you will see
as you go you become more peaceful and
more accepting of the present moment
more being the space then that will
transmit itself to the child and affect
the child
and if the tent will absorb your
emanation your energetic vibration of
frequency and the change will happen in
that way rather than feeling that I need
to change the change happens when you
change yeah but that is to prevent her
but that is to not allow her to do
things that are dangerous or to-- you
know he's not saying that but he's
saying about adjusting the way you are
being capital B with her yes capital B
yes thank you thank you so much thank
you so much for doing this web seminar I
hope you do more well thank you thank
you so much ah it's a way of being yes
present yes for any situation and what
you were saying is we can apply it not
just to children but to all situations
any situation and it's usually the case
the the most in some in some people's
lives they have a variety of little
challenges right there's other people
who have one predominant difficulty in
their lives whether it's another person
whether it's a health situation or
whether it's a work situation or
financial problem they have one huge
challenge in their lives and usually one
would consider the main this huge
challenge in your life as your greatest
enemy almost the greatest burden or as
Christians would call it my cross to
bear bear yeah now this it doesn't this
can actually be turned around and you
can make that very thing that is
considered your cross to bear
you can make that into your greatest
help on the spiritual path right because
it's precisely there that you can if you
can bring acceptance to that and be the
space for that situation that it's
usually called would usually be called
bad by the mind but it is you can't
argue with that this is the situation
right now can I be the space for that
then that situation takes you into
surrender and into presence so that you
know so many people when they were first
talking about purchasing this
book on the website I saw a lot of
messages from people saying I hope this
you know shows me my like purpose I want
to awaken to my life the purpose and for
a lot of people that they want that to
be something grand they wanted to be you
know saving starving children in India
in Africa they wanted to be some you
know great description or something but
what you're saying is is that if we are
allow ourselves to be fully present with
whatever our chosen function is in life
and whatever difficulties might arise
that there is sacredness in the
difficulty yes if we allow it to be yes
and be fully present with whatever it
the situation is now yes and then go
from there so because then your inner
self changes when you're fully present
with the situation you're no longer
putting up or is the internal resistance
to life even if there is that thing that
you call there's something did you call
background happiness there's something
that happened or needs to happen or
someone's background unhappiness
background unhappiness there's something
that happened or needs it he refers to
that on page 114 everybody there's
something that needs to happen in my
life before I can be at peace something
happened in the past that should not
have happened something is happening now
that should not be happening how do we
make peace with the background
unhappiness of our lives
yes so you recognize the background
unhappiness as not a content based but
as structural it's the structure of the
egoic mind to create that we had the
same when Jenny asked her quest right we
had the similar thing the guilt feelings
that she had was part of the background
structure of the ego and no matter what
situation if you haven't tackled or
recognized the structure of the ego in
yourself a certain thought forms that
repeat themselves no matter what
situation to go into they will come up
with some new form but basically the
same structure I got it I got it
so the secret to happiness you say that
so many people were writing about this
on the web
yes the secret to happiness everybody
page one
team there are three words that convey
the secret of the art of living the
secret of all success and happiness one
with life being one with life is being
one with now you say you then realized
that you don't live your life but life
lives you life is the dancer and you are
the dance I have to tell you I love this
book but I was like gee I thought life
was the was the dance and I was the
dancer and there are a lot of people on
on the web we're saying the same thing
can you explain how life is the dancer
and we are the dance why aren't we the
dancer you are not separate from life so
whatever any flight is a dancer life is
dancing the dance of form one could say
every human being and everything that's
everything that exists is part of the
dance of life uh-huh that which moves
you the very consciousness that animates
your being that that animates every cell
of your body that produces thoughts to
very consciousness that you are is the
one universal the one life that
permeates everything it's all the entire
universe is permeated by that
consciousness by life which is another
word for God God I don't see God as an
entity that head is in a particular
place somewhere haha but as the essence
the the intelligence the animating life
essence behind all life forms it's the
eternal the totality yes it's the
totality you see God you're saying that
God is your idea of God is the totality
of the essence of all life form yes and
ultimately you are not separate from
that it's the egoic mind that says my
life the moment you say my life
you've already separated yourself from
life it's a thought
never thought to say this is my life and
then you think oh I can lose my life I
am NOT separate from life because I am
live it's only through through the
structure of language that you create
the illusion of separation mm-hmm I see
the dog still knows on a primordial
level the animal the tree knows that it
is one with life so it doesn't have this
fear of death and it doesn't see itself
as separate from the rest of these so
let me ask you the big question you have
no fear of death no no the ego has
dissolved and so only the ego fears
death I know there is no death you know
there is no death okay tell me how I
have a little thing at the end of this
chapter I know you say the
incontrovertible proof of immortality I
read that and I went okay I've done a
little thing I did they are usually when
people talk about immortality they use
certain arguments should perhaps from
physics they say the energy gets never
is destroyed energy can only become
transform transform so the vital energy
that is your life because energy cannot
be destroyed must survive in some form
that's often the argument for the
survival of that life if there is no
death only the form dissolves that's
right that's one way you can approach it
but I thought I do I look at the
structure of this sentence of language
that says my life
or I have a life because most people
believe that they have a life and they
also believe that they can lose their
life no if you look at that sentence it
I can lose my life then I am separate
from life so there is no such thing as
my life you say at the end of this
chapter page 120 because I am live I am
not separate from life I am an
expression of the one life a temporary
expression in this form of the one
timeless and formless life so I don't
have a life because I am live expressing
itself as this
okay so what happens when you you you
two weeks ago talked about your your
mother and father lying in the casket
and you realized that the life force or
formlessness of that they were lying in
the casket and there were these bodies
but they were not there yes they were
not there so we're not our bodies we do
know that everybody who's reading this
book knows we're not our bodies we do
get that yes and that's what once you
can actually sense that and not just as
a it's not just to believe you can also
see that you're not your body even if
you just approach it logically and see
that when there's a dead body then the
that being is not there anymore there's
only the flesh and the bones right and
when the being isn't anymore the flesh
and the bones very quickly dissolve when
animating the animating presence isn't
there anymore all the the atoms and
molecules separate right and go their
own way right because the animating
presence is not there anymore
okay so continuing here so there's no
such thing as my life and I don't have a
life I am life I and life are one it
cannot be otherwise so how could I lose
my life how can I lose something that I
don't have in the first place how can I
lose something that I am
it is impossible so what is happening
here is I just got it hello hello beep I
got it
we are confusing the I am lifeforce with
our bodies yes yes we're confusing that
yes that's right that's right
so when this dies and becomes the shell
and dissipates and the atoms go wherever
they go back into the ground ashes to
ashes dust to dust
we are confusing that which is the
physical form the human we are confusing
that with the beings yeah and they are
separate yes so another way if you don't
like the word life you can
the universe people believe that I'm
here and there's the rest of the
universe and right if I have come into
this universe they'll angle from where
yeah I've come into this universe it
would be more appropriate to feel that
you have come out of this universe
because you are this universe
experiencing itself very briefly as a
human as a human as a human I got that
and so it wants to do that it's
wonderful but you realize there's more
to you than the person you are the
universe expressing expressing itself
yes and experiencing as a human as a
human and you called Eckhart yes for a
little while or a little while and then
it goes through other experiences and
then where do we go in a card could you
tell us that let's see what happens
otherwise you you take the fun out of it
you have to I mean if you knew the rest
of your life already the fun would be
taken out of it oh okay all right well
before we say goodbye I know there's
lots we did not get to in this chapter
we could have spent you know two or
three weeks on this one chapter but what
would you say is the essence of this
chapter the essence of this chapter yes
the role-playing chapter what I said in
the beginning that we're humans and
beings and in this body trying to
combine to live through the - yes it's
balancing the human and the being so
that you can be function in this world
of form where you have to do things and
fulfill your function at the same time
not lose yourself in that be rooted in
the depth of being so that you're not
lost in form so there's a depth to you
and rootedness in that stillness that
aliveness and then from there you
function out here and there's always
then a piece in the background piece in
the background no matter what's
happening oh and most particularly not
to be attached to defined by the roles
that we play in life and
realize what they are just rolls yes yes
yes and to relinquish the role when it's
not required anymore when your children
grow up you don't need to be a mother
father you don't need to play that role
anymore
see so many people think that there that
is who they are and so when their
children grow up they don't know who
they are anymore yes can be a crisis or
people retire that's right I had
identified where their job yes and then
Who am I
yeah you were talking about in Japan
where it used to be you kept your job
for life yes and and you were sharing
with us the last time about a man who
committed suicide
what have been many cases of people in
Japan who lost their jobs and committed
suicide because they were so identified
their company was their sense of self
mm-hmm
you

Kate is 'immensely jealous' of one thing William gets to do that she doesn't - Duration: 2:42.There's no doubt that the idea of being a prince or princess appeals to many people
With palaces to live in, plenty of money in the bank and a platform to make a real difference to those in need, it's difficult to comprehend what more members of the royal family could possibly need
But it turns out that there's one thing the Duchess of Cambridge is really keen to have - and it's something most parents will be able to relate to
Prince William is currently on a solo trip to Africa and on Tuesday night (September 25) he attended the British High Commissioner's reception in Namibia
During the event the Duke of Cambridge gave a speech to other guests where he revealed that he was getting to do something this week that his wife wasn't - and she was "immensely jealous" of it
So what was it that the Duchess was so jealous of? The fact that her husband was enjoying several nights of peaceful sleep away from the kids
William said: "I'm delighted to be visiting Namibia for the first time. "I'm only sorry that my wife, Catherine, is not able to join me
She is immensely jealous. Particularly because I'm looking forward to a few good, uninterrupted nights' sleep this week away from my wonderful children
" Yesterday it was revealed that the Duchess of Cambridge's maternity leave would soon be coming to an end as Kensington Palace announced her first official engagement since giving birth in April will take place next week
Kate will be visiting Sayers Croft Trust's Forest School and Wildlife Garden at Paddington Recreation Ground on Tuesday October 2
Until then, Kate remains off duty with their three children - Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - while William is completing a tour of Africa as president of the United for Wildlife organisation and patron of Tusk
The trip will include visits to Kenya and Tanzania and his focus throughout is on conservation
Kenya is an especially important location for the royal couple as it was where William got down on one knee and popped the question to Kate back in October 2010

Why is Consent Such a Difficult Concept? - Duration: 10:39.Hi, it's Alex!
Today I want to talk a little bit more about consent,
and in this video I want to focus on the question:
Why is consent such a difficult concept?
Why is it so hard for people to understand?
And why is it a little bit more complex
than some people make it out to be?
I see a lot of people talk about consent
in a way that suggests that it's a really simple concept.
And I think there is some truth in this.
Like the idea is: you want to do something
intimate or sexual with someone,
you ask them: "Do you want to do this?"
"Are you comfortable with doing this?"
and ONLY if the person unambigously says "Yes"
is it okay for you to do something with that person.
So, it sounds fine and dandy.
But, in the real world,
it's a little bit more complicated than this.
I made a video pretty recently
about the idea of "dubious consent",
and in that video I talk about some confounding factors
like alcohol and other drugs, large age differences,
and other factors that can make it so that
even if the other person says "yes",
it might not really be full consent.
And, if you haven't watched that video,
I highly recommend it.
I want to talk about some more things in this video though,
which is, inaccuracies in communication
or misunderstanding in communication.
Human communication is not perfect.
We have verbal and nonverbal communication,
and people can and do say one thing
when they mean another.
And I want to focus on the idea of
saying "yes" when you really mean "no".
A lot of the dialogue focuses on the other way around,
like saying "no" when you mean "yes",
and that's an ugly topic too,
but I want to talk about saying "yes" when you mean "no".
I've been in this situation a couple times, where
I'm being intimate with someone, and I'm like:
"Hey, are you comfortable doing this thing?"
and they're like: "Yeah!"
and they seem enthusiastic in the moment,
and then we start doing it,
and their body language makes clear
that they're not comfortable, so I'm like;
"Hey.
Do you want to stop?"
"Are you really comfortable doing this?"
And the person is like: "Actually, no."
"I wasn't comfortable doing this."
"I'm not comfortable doing this."
and then we stop.
I want to make clear, if you're in a situation like this,
I don't necessarily think that you
or the other person did something wrong.
Like, I don't think you necessarily did something wrong
just because you said "yes",
like we're all doing the best we can,
so if you say "yes" when you mean "no", it's like,
okay, we're all human, we have our limitations,
and similarly, assuming you're doing the best you can
to read the other person's signals,
don't beat yourself up because
you got into one of these situations.
That's the first thing that I want to say.
But I want to ask the question of
why do we end up in these situations in the first place?
And I think one of the answers lies in our socialization.
I think a lot of people are socialized
not to "hurt people's feelings",
and I actually have a video where I talk about
how I think "hurting someone's feelings"
can be a really problematic concept.
And, I think a lot of people struggle
with saying no to people.
I've talked to so many people about this,
and it's also something that I personally struggle with.
So, someone might ask me, total non-sexual situation,
someone might ask me for a favor,
and it's a little bit inconvenient for me,
but I still might have trouble saying no to the person.
And, I know so many people
who have talked to me about this.
And it definitely comes up in sexual situations,
like people are in a relationship,
or maybe they aren't even in a relationship,
and they just really want to please the other person,
they really want to give the other person what they want,
and then they have this conflict
because they might not actually want to do something.
And, in some situations, people will say yes
to things that they don't actually want to do.
And, it creates this weirdness, because it's like
how responsible do you want to hold the other person
for reading your nonverbal cues
that you don't really mean what you're saying?
This can get complicated when you add other factors
like autism or neurodiversity
that make it harder to read nonverbal cues.
Another factor is cultural diversity.
When people come from a different cultural background,
if you're not speaking the same native language,
if there are different sort of social environments
that they've grown up in,
that can make it harder to communicate with people too.
There are a lot of different confounding factors here.
Another thing that I think feeds into all of this is
not knowing what you want
and not knowing what your boundaries are,
not knowing what you are comfortable with
and not comfortable with.
And again, I think this is something that our society
doesn't make it easy for people to figure out.
A lot of the way people are raised nowadays,
the school system, it provides a lot of external structure
and kind of external motivators,
and people aren't really given much space
to figure out what they want to do of their own initiative.
And, because they are in this
somewhat authoritarian structure,
where the school system is constantly telling them
what they need to do,
and they don't have much choice or control over it,
people aren't necessarily accustomed
to asserting boundaries, like:
"Hey, I don't want to do this."
and sometimes people might have
extensive experience with their family
of trying to assert a boundary
and their parents really arguing with them about it.
I'm not talking about sexual things,
I'm talking about all sorts of things
from homework and tasks
to what teenagers want to do going out with their friends,
and all sorts of things like that.
People get into arguments about these things.
So basically, I think people are not being encouraged
to develop the sorts of skills
to figure out what they really want
and get in touch with what they really want.
And I think this is bad.
It's problematic for the question of consent,
cause say you end up in a situation where
someone is like: "Hey.
Are you comfortable doing this?"
and you don't really know how you feel.
There is one more thing here that feeds into this, and again,
I think the educational system plays a role in this.
I think in our society,
people have a hard time saying: "I don't know."
and saying: "I'm not sure."
I also made a video about this.
This ties into how people are treated in school, like
basically when the teacher calls on you,
or when you're taking a test,
you are often penalized for not having an answer.
You are penalized for leaving something blank.
But, you are often rewarded if you guess
and your guess is either correct or partly correct.
So, you're not rewarded for saying: "I don't know."
And I think in general,
the system is conditioning people away from saying:
"I don't know."
"I'm not sure."
You see this in how people talk about politics.
Like, people seem to speak poorly of candidates
who don't take stances on issues, or take like, they'll say
you're taking a "wishy-washy" stance on an issue,
like it's a bad thing.
Maybe the person is actually showing humility.
The point I'm making:
our society conditions people to not say "I don't know."
not say "I'm not sure."
Back to that sexual situation, you're in it,
you actually aren't sure how you feel,
but you may feel some pressure to just say yes or no
because of how you've been socially conditioned.
So basically, I think all of these things
feed into making consent a little bit more complex
than it needs to be ideally,
and I hope I've answered this question
a little bit more thoroughly, like:
"Why is consent such a difficult concept?"
What can we do, moving forward?
So, I agree with a lot of the advice out there
that it's important to only go forward
doing something intimate with someone
if you have unambiguous full consent.
If you're not sure, then talk about it more,
get clarification, and so on.
But I think that that, just saying that is not enough.
I think that we need to examine
some of the really deep things in our culture.
I think we need to examine the culture of
teaching people to be people pleasers.
We need to teach people that it's okay to say no.
We need to teach them how to say no.
Not just in sexual situations, but to all sorts of things.
I think people are a little scared to do that, and like
parents might not want to teach their kids to say no
because then they're gonna start saying no to them.
But this is what we have to deal with as a society.
I think it's a more sustainable approach if we do this.
And similarly in school.
If students start saying no to their teachers,
people don't necessarily want to deal with that,
it makes it easier to control a classroom
if you have people conditioned to say yes.
But I think, I really want us to change this.
I also want us to teach people
how to get in touch with what they really want.
And lastly, I want us to be more aware of neurodiversity
and cultural differences in communication.
So I don't want us to just be assuming
that everyone out there can read our body language
as easily as we can read theirs, or each other's,
and I don't want us to assume
that everyone has the same body language,
both because of neurodiversity and cultural differences.
I want us to be more aware of these things.
I think that addressing all of these issues
can make consent a little bit easier of a concept.
It's maybe never going to be super easy, but
I hope this has been clarifying, and
I really want us to stop talking about consent
as if it's super super simple,
because I don't think it is.
Yeah, that's what I have to say.

CVX Stock - is Chevron's Stock a Good Buy - Duration: 13:20.hey YouTube I'm Jimmy in this video I'm gonna walk through my analysis of
Chevron ticker symbol CVX this continues our series where we're analyzing all 30
stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
with the ultimate goal of trying to take those companies and trying to build a
great portfolio this is the sixth video in that series you can see a link to the
playlist for all six of those videos below another thing I'm trying to do is
I'm trying to use different ways of analyzing and valuing companies based on
individual situations see I wouldn't want anybody to go out and invest in a
company because we here at learn to invest the the community say we think
it's a good buy what I'm really hoping for is that by going through each
company in the Dow we get exposed to different ways of analyzing and valuing
companies then we take what we learn in various situations and we apply that to
our own research techniques ok so now let's get started with Chevron and as
you may guess from the intro I'm gonna do things slightly different with this
video so what I'm gonna do with this one is we're going to focus more on
competitor analysis and how they compare to Chevron now whenever I do research I
always try to look at competitors since that I think it's a great way to see how
a company stands out or how it differs from their competitors and what type of
advantage or disadvantage that company might have and often times when I when I
invest in a company or at least when I start researching a company I end up
investing in one of their competitors because it's a great way to get exposed
to the entire industry see who has a competitive advantage over their peers
but to prevent these videos from being crazy long I try to summarize and
present only the key points so you may notice in this video I'll spend more
time than I normally do saying okay here's what Chevron does and here's what
this competitor does or that competitor does and but it's important to know that
whenever I do research this is how I normally think about it I see what a
comp company does and then I say how does the how do the competitors do it
how does their performance stack up to what the competition does okay so
Chevron is an integrated oil and gas company and an integrated oil and gas company is
essentially a company that finds produces refines and distributes oil and
gas competitors are companies like Exxon Mobil BP total and royal dutch/shell
okay now if we look at the energy industry as a whole it can broadly be
broken into three phases upstream midstream and downstream upstream is
when they take oil and gas out of the ground midstream is when they take it
and they ship it via pipeline or tankers or whatever they use and downstream is
when they refine it and sell it Chevron mostly sticks in upstream and
downstream so here's the chart of revenue going back to 2008 okay it's
been a bit volatile but we can also break down this revenue a bit further
blue is downstream and orange is upstream so it looks like downstream
dominates the revenue the question is is that normal well let's go find out so
here's exxon mobil's revenue for the same time period okay this seems quite
volatile as well here's the revenue broken down okay first off let's look at
their breakdown it's similar in that downstream dominates the revenue but
they also have another category they call chemicals now back in 2009 Chevron
actually had a category that they called chemicals as well but it represented
just 1% of revenue and they eventually dropped it in 2010 completely so for our
analysis of Chevron chemicals aren't going to play a huge role but either way
I think it's interesting to see how ExxonMobil does it now what about
another company let's look at Royal Dutch Shell
so Shell to has some volatility since 2008 now I think it's safe to say that
volatility was fairly widespread throughout the industry now I'm gonna
stick with just two competitors to try to keep this video to a reasonable
length but if we were going to keep going and what if we happen to find a
company that didn't have the volatility and revenue that everybody else had well
my question would be how what did they do differently and then perhaps there
would be something interesting about that company that would make for a great
investment that would be something that we want to dig into but in our case
we've looked through a few of them and it looks like volatility is happening
from the companies we've looked at and now what about shells break down and yes
once again it looks similar and interestingly instead of chemicals
shell has a category for integrated gas so I went ahead and dug into the
differences between Chevron's downstream and upstream only and Exxon Mobil's has
chemicals added and then shale has added integrated gas and interestingly all
each of the three companies each participated in chemicals integrated gas
upstream downstream so I really think it's just a breakdown thing of how
they're separating the numbers for us the investor and since the numbers were
easily accessible this way this is how I'm presenting them a chart but just as
an example shell in their recent management discussion and analysis
listed chemicals as a key growth segment for their business so although they
don't have chemicals listed as a category they it is something that
they're all participating in so we'll keep that in the back of our mind now if
you're wondering what chemicals is Chevron who also has chemicals as a
source of revenue but it's not broken out separately
well they define it as additives for lubricating oils and fuels and
integrated gas for shale is listed as LNG activities which is liquefied
natural gas and GTL fuels which is gas to liquids now shell also includes new
energies in their integrated gas segment which includes things like wind and
solar biofuels and hydrogen things like that okay moving on to profits
here's Chevron's profits going back to 2008 now here is something very
interesting look at which category is leading the way most of the time
upstream so looking back at 2011 here on the revenue chart upstream accounted for
just 13 percent of total revenue while back on the profit chart upstream
accounted for 92 percent of profit during that same year when we jump over
Exxon Mobil we see the profits are once again dominated by upstream Shell same
thing upstream leads away so now I've realize that upstream must have better
margins than downstream and that seems to be true across the board great now we
know something new about the industry but I don't necessarily know if Chevron
is good as a potential investment compared to their peers so for me the
real question is who has better margins so
here's a chart for all three companies downstream margins
I took the average of this ten-year period to try to make it a bit easier to
compare and as we can see Chevron actually has the best downstream average
although if we look at it we could tell visually that 2015 looked to be an
unusual year and I was curious what would happen if we eliminated 2015 so I did
that for all three companies leaving us with just nine years and here's what the
nine year average would look like well as he could tell Chevron still has the
lead when it comes to margins okay now let's jump over upstream okay there are
a few interesting things in this chart first although there are margins for
upstream is great we could see that they're quite volatile when oil crashed
back in 2015 you can see that both Shell and Chevron were losing money and in
2016 Exxon was barely positive now if we add
the averages for this ten years we'll see that will see that Exxon is in
first with almost 61 percent margins and Chevron a second with about 48 percent
okay if we do what we did last time in kill 2015 we can see that all averages
move higher but the same order remains so now I think the next logical question
is what happens when we look at overall margins margins are a very big driver as
to what multiple works best when trying to come up with a valuation so I think
it's important to look at margins as a whole this this chart here this shows
the ten-year average for each of these companies Exxon is the best then Chevron
then Shell okay this is good information but we all know that Wall Street and
investing in general is very much a what have you done for me lately type of
business with that in mind what happens if we shorten up the timeframe instead
of using the past 10 years what if we look at the past eight quarters and we
can see that Exxon is in the lead still but just barely and if we switch the
last eight quarters which is two years to just one year which is the past four
quarters will see that Chevron now has the best margins now let's try to
jump to valuation okay using a p/e multiple for oil and gas
companies can be tricky because if only gas prices were to crash like they did
back in 2015 then PE becomes useless you need to have profits for PE to make
sense and usually you want some more predictable profits for PE to work well
now one method that's popular among analysts and it works well for energy
companies is something called EV to EBITDA, EV is short for enterprise
value and EBITDA is short for earnings before interest taxes depreciation and
amortization sometimes you'll also see analysts use specifically for energy
companies EBITDAX is just like EBITDA except they add an X to the end
and the X stands for exploration and this could be quite good for accounting
for exploration expenses but in our case we're going to use EBITDA and that's
mostly because their revenue is largely driven by both downstream and upstream
not just upstream so as of today these are the forward EV to EBITDA multiples
looking out the next 12 months and frankly I was a bit surprised to see
that Exxon is trading at such a premium to Chevron now if we add their
three-year historical average for each of the companies we can see that they're
all trading at a discount to that average so now the question for us is
where do we believe Chevron should be trading should they be valued at
Exxons 7.2 times next year's EBITDA or even Exxons 3 year average or should we
stick with their own seven times average for me I go to this chart this chart
shows the company profit margins going back to 2008 and if you look at the end
of 2015 and the start of 2016 will see that Shell's profits went negative and
so did Chevron's but during that same time period Exxon didn't lose money this
tells me that Exxon seems to have a bit more safety built into their business
when compared to Chevron or Shell so with that mind I believe that the
premium that Exxon is trading at is probably deserved there's a certain
safety net there in many investors Minds so for us I think it's best if we still
use Chevron's own historical average I personally think their three-year average
is perfectly reasonable to use but I wanted to make sure there know crazy
outliers so when double-checked their 1 year and 5
year average and all of them were trading mid 6 multiples since margins
have improved so nicely over the past year I think the high end of this
average is quite fair from a valuation perspective so what I did is I went
ahead and applied a six point seven five times multiple to next twelve months
EBITDA and when I calculated that we end up with one hundred and seventy nine
dollar fair value compare that with today's price I'm one hundred twenty
four dollars of share and Chevron looks like it's a pretty good value today so
now what if we want to be a bit more conservative and we didn't want to use a
multiple of six point seven five times well what if we were to apply let's say
the low into that let's say six times and if we were to apply six times to
projected EBITDA going out the next twelve months our fair value falls down
to one hundred and sixty one dollars but this still isn't too bad compared to the
124 dollar price today so overall I think that Chevron still has a pretty
good chance of making our ideal portfolio exxon is also part of the Dow
so I think it's going to be interesting when we get to that video and in that
video we'll probably spend a bit less time comparing it to the industry
and more time on things like oil and gas prices how that affects things the crack
spread which affects their downstream profitability and things like that but
until then I think that it looks like Chevron has a pretty good business
although they are vulnerable to oil and gas crashes from a profit standpoint
from a value standpoint it looks like Chevron is also quite good at 124
dollars a share compared to even reasonable valuation multiples one other
thing I also recognize that I didn't spend too much time breaking down
EV to EBITDA and I plan on doing one of the animation videos that I do in this
channel because I feel that EV to EBITDA is a valuable valuation technique and it
deserves a thorough explanation and I didn't want to rush through it here
today so if you've made it this far in the video I really appreciate it and if
you haven't done so already hit the subscribe button and don't forget to hit
the bell so you can get alerts when we issue new videos and thanks a lot for
sticking around then I'll see in the next video thanks

Seashell Wine Bottle Art DIY | Ep.4 Putting It All Together - Duration: 26:45.Welcome back to DIY No Need To Cry with Ivelisse
Seashell Wine Bottle Art DIY | Ep.4 Putting It All Together
Let's get started!
Hi, my crafty fam!
I hope you've enjoyed watching my creative process as I make this piece and I hope you've
been following along and making one of your own.
Today we'll be adding the net, the shells and all the bling to finish it off.
Grab your net because that's what we'll l be starting with.
So what I want to do is cover the areas that aren't as pretty with the net and leave
the spots with the sea foam uncovered.
Now, I didn't cover every spot because I want some of the regular color of the bottle
to show as well.
I just covered whatever I thought didn't look good.
I also knew I wanted to wrap it a certain way around the bottle to achieve the look
I was going for.
Before gluing it down permanently, I played around with it to get an idea of where I wanted
it.
Once I was sure of how I wanted it, I started to glue it down.
I placed very small amounts and pressed the net onto it.
I also cut off any excess of the net along the way.
Please be careful not to burn yourself when you do this.
I really shouldn't be doing this with my bare hands.
Please use something like the back of a brush or your scissors as I finally did lol to press
it down.
Continue to do this until you've achieved the look you're going for.
You ever wonder why it takes me so long to make a bottle, look at how picky I am at the
placement of this net and this is nothing, wait until we get to the seashells.
I am very particular and precise in where I place something.
Paying attention to the smallest of detail will play a huge part in how the end piece
will look.
Now for some people, this might take the fun out of it and it might not be for you.
That's fine too, everyone has their own way of crafting.
However, this is acutely fun for me, trying to figure out exactly where I think it would
look amazing and thinking 2 more steps ahead at what I would put on after, is what I enjoy
about crafting.
It's like trying to solve a puzzle that hasn't even been made yet.
I build it in my head as I go and make it come to life.
You know that crafting zone I'm always telling you I'm in… that's what I'm talking
about when I say that.
I completely zone out from the world and the only thing I can see is my piece.
Once you're done gluing down the net it's time to start adding your seashells.
I knew what shell I wanted at the very top of the bottle as I had bought it specifically
for that, so I started with that one.
I had already tinted it with the pearl white metallic paint and highlighted the raised
parts with the gold.
I used E6000 glue for this shell because it's big, I wanted to make sure it never fell off.
I placed glue in any of the parts I thought would touch the bottle.
Once you place it on the bottle, let it completely dry before continuing.
My editor crashed on me while I was editing, yeah that happened, and after it was back
up, I couldn't find the footage for this shell.
What I did was use clear tacky glue and glued strips of the gold beaded chain onto it.
I cut it to size and I laid them on the groves of the shell all the way along it.
For this one, we will be adding these pearls, in different sizes, on top of the shell.
I'll be placing them as if they attached themselves onto the shell.
The way barnacles do on underwater life.
And again, I'm using the E6000 here but I end up switching to the clear tacky glue
that works way better in my opinion, for aesthetic reasons, not the bond.
I add a gold acrylic rhinestone to the center of the blue shell to complete the look.
Now it's time to glue them onto the bottle.
For this, I used my hot glue gun.
Be careful not to use to much hot glue and clean up any excess.
You want your piece to look nice and clean.
From here on out it was a couple of months, yes I said a couple of months, of placing
shells, pearls, beads, rhinestones, glitter, and sand until I finished the bottle.
I didn't work on it 24/7.
I worked on it slowly to make sure that whatever I placed, was exactly what and where I wanted
it.
Now I know I said I enjoy this part of it, where I have to figure thing's out, and
I do, but, if I start to feel frustrated because I get stuck...
I walk away, and not just for a few minutes.
I walk away until I have regained my full positive mental energy to get back at it...
however long that might be.
Sometimes it takes minutes and sometimes it takes days.
What I'm saying is, take your time and enjoy the process and only work on it when you're
in a good state of mind.
If at any point you get stuck or start to get frustrated and feel like you're never
going to get it, walk away at that very moment and come back to it when you're refreshed.
Everyone has different crafting techniques, find what works for you.
Heck, I've seen people throw a bunch of stuff together, throw paint over it, slap
some highlight over that, seal it and it comes out looking absolutely amazing.
You could try that and it might be easier for you.
As long as you're having fun and getting the results you want, whichever technique
and style you use, is beside the point.
Okay, so, you can see how many different ways I've tried to go with one placement.
I wasn't feeling it, so I moved to another spot.
Sometimes that helps as well.
Like right here, I was totally feeling this look.
I was just trying to figure out what shell and color I wanted there.
In the beginning, it's a lot easier to move to another spot as you have your whole piece
to work with but as you add more, it becomes tricky because of the limited space, colors,
and angles you have to work with.
I broke that part of the shell so that it would fit better.
If you have to do this, be careful not to break the whole shell.
It didn't happen with this shell but it did happen to me with others.
...and there you have it, 20 minutes after placing the bead I finally placed the next
shell.
This continues on for day's and months until I finally finished the bottle.
I have so much footage, but I'll spare you the process and skip to each placement from
here on out.
I just wanted to show you that it's not that quick and easy for me either so don't
get down on yourself if you don't get it right away.
I usually cut all that out for viewing purposes only.
I like to decorate as I go, here I added a gold flat back gem and a pearl to fill in
the gap.
I'm still using the hot glue gun at this point but shortly after this is when I start using
the clear tacky glue and alternate between the two types of glues throughout the rest
of the bottle.
I wrapped the gold beads around the gold rhinestone using clear tacky glue.
You want to measure, cut and place it down.
You can use a set of tweezers to make it easier.
I also outlined the other gold gem.
Once I was done, I added smaller pearls around the bigger one as I did with the other gold
seashell.
I used the clear tacky glue for this part.
I dip the back of the paintbrush in the glue to pick up the pearls but I think it's time
I invest in one of those rhinestone picker-upper thigys
This is pretty much the process all the way around with the exception of different shells,
colors, sizes, and placement of everything and I eventually also start adding glitter
and sand.
Once I was done there I let it dry before moving on.
That's perfect but I wanted to add glitter.
I coated the inside with Mod Podge and added the blue glitter.
I did the same thing to the inside of this shell except I did it in gold and instead
of using loose glitter I used 2 layers of glitter glue over the metallic paint.
I used the glitter glue instead of the loose glitter because I didn't like how chunky
the loose gold one looked and the glitter glue has very fine glitter in it.
It was perfect for that top piece.
Here is where I start filling in areas with glitter, rhinestones, and pearls.
I did this so it wouldn't look so disconnected, so bare and at the same time, it added a slight
pop of shine and color that I thought it needed.
I used the hot glue gun here but again, I switched up to the clear tacky glue when doing
this again in different spots.
Here I used a toothpick to get into that tight spot to be able to arrange the pearls.
I only had the white pearls so I decided I would dip several of each size into the blue
paint and let them dry.
I'll be using them throughout the design.
For this part, I made it more complicated than it had to be so here's the easy way
to do it.
Pour some of the clear tacky paint into the seashell, add the sand and press it into the
glue.
Let that completely dry.
Add another drop of the clear tacky glue and place the pearl and let it dry.
Once it's dried, I sealed it with hairspray.
I seal it so the little crumbly bits don't fall and I use hairspray because it works
indoors, dries faster and you can't see it once it's dried.
I also touched up any spots with more sand and added a hint of loose white glitter to
it.
I then added some of the loose glitters to the top and bottom of the shells.
This was one of my favorite parts of the bottle.
And this is probably my least favorite part of the bottle... actually I hate it!
I wish I had put sand there instead.
I use a pair of scissors dedicated specifically to cutting thing's like this because it
will ruin them so if you do this, please don't use your good scissors.
I really just need to go buy some more crafting supplies but the struggle is real ya'll.
I
decided I wanted gold sand for the bottom of the bottle so I took some of the white
sand and painted it with the gold paint as you see here.
I then spread it out onto my silicone mat,
sprinkled some of the white and gold glitters onto it and
let it completely dry.
Once it's completely dry it will be very stiff and in clumps so you'll have to loosen
it up again.
I than added a little more of the white sand for contrast.
…and lastly, I added these clusters of pearls to all the ends of the net to give it that
final touch and once that dried I was FINALLY done!
And here it is all finished!
Whooo, I know I made it however I don't always like what I make but I absolutely love how
this piece came out and I know it's not for everyone, not everyone is going to like
it.
It might be too busy for some but It's exactly what I had envisioned and that's all that
matters!
It's definitely going on my favorite shelf!
Heck, it might just get a spot of its own.
Just remember that when you're creating something, do it the way you want to do it.
That's what makes yours a one of a kind, unique piece.
Not everyone has the same taste and art is subjective.
Whatever you see as beauty may not be beautiful to someone else, hence the saying, beauty
is in the eye of the beholder.
So get creative, let loose and don't be afraid to try anything when you're crafting.
Don't be held down by someone else's techniques, styles or approaches to crafting.
Do whatever feels right to you.
Yes, we can learn and get ideas from each other and yes there are certain techniques
that are pretty much by the book (decoupage) but what I'm saying is that if you find
it easier to do it another way to achieve the results you want or get the same results
or better or even take it to the next level, go for it!
I had an amazing time making this bottle and I hope you found this mini-series helpful
and fun!
I've decided to mix it up and make mini series out of bottles that are more complex and regular
videos with easier ones.
So everyone is happy!
Remember that you can make it with the theme you want, any color you want and use whatever
materials you'd like.
As always, have fun be creative and make a mess!
Thanks for watching!

John Bolton Makes It Clear That War With Iran Is Around The Corner - Duration: 4:09.Many months ago, when Donald Trump announced that John Bolton was gonna come in and be
his new National Security Advisor, a lot of us already figured what would happen.
We assumed that probably within the next few months, maybe within the next year, we would
start another unwinnable war in the Middle East.
This week, John Bolton made it clear that that is 100% his intention.
While Donald Trump was over there chairing the UN Security Council meeting, talking about
how evil Iran is and how big of a brain China thinks he has, which actually is something
he said, John Bolton was giving a separate speech to a bunch of anti-Iran groups.
Here's what John Bolton said during that meeting.
"The United States is not naïve.
We will not be duped, cheated, or intimidated.
The days of impunity for Tehran and its enablers are over.
The murderous regime and its supporters will face significant consequences if they do not
change their behavior.
Let my message today be clear.
We are watching and we will come after you."
Now, to me those sound like the words of a man who is encouraging his boss to go to war
with another Middle Eastern country, based on really not too much.
I mean, Bolton didn't give us too much information there.
From what we knew about the Iran agreement that Donald Trump pulled us out of, Iran was
complying.
They were doing what they were supposed to.
It was us, the United States, we weren't doing our part of it.
The UN told us not to back out of the agreement.
European countries told us not to back out of the agreement, but Trump knows best, right?
He's the guy who said, "Nope.
We're not gonna do it," and then he gets pissy when Iran, now that we're not even a part
of it, might be doing things that they don't like.
Yeah, well you lost your say in the matter when you decided to pull out of that agreement,
and I guarantee you, you're not gonna find another country in the world, at least one
of our allies, that wants to go to war with them.
Sure, you could probably make friends with another hostile nation that wants to overthrow
Iran, but they're not gonna be our friends, and they're sure as hell not gonna do it the
way we want to do it.
They're not gonna leave anything for the United States to walk away with, probably including
our own soldiers that we send there.
War with Iran is absolutely a horrendous possibility, but unfortunately at this point, it's a very
real possibility because Donald Trump has surrounded himself with some of the same war
hawks that George W. Bush surrounded himself with, particularly John Bolton.
Bolton has never met a country that he doesn't want to bomb, and Iran is right now at the
top of his list.
We do not need anymore unwinnable wars.
We do not need to engage in regime change.
We do not need to preemptively strike any other country.
We were making progress with Iran, and the reason we're not making that progress anymore
is because of Donald Trump and John Bolton, and now because we've stopped making progress
because we sabotaged it, they want to go over there and act their form of regime change,
and absolutely decimate another country that didn't deserve it.
Because that's the thing here.
There used to be a time in the United States where if we went to war, it's because either
we were attacked or our very close allies were attacked.
You look at World War II and all the atrocities taking place.
It still took us a long time to get involved with that, even though we knew what was happening.
But now, we're just ready to go to war with anybody and everybody, based on flimsy evidence
and hearsay and conjecture.
Oh, we think you may have done this thing, we're coming to bomb you.
We're not even gonna try diplomacy.
We're not gonna try to talk to you.
We're not gonna try sanctions.
We're just gonna come over, kill every last one of you, and hope that that solves the
problem, which it never does.
That's what we're doing today because that's what John Bolton wants this country to do.
