- Hey, everybody.
Jeff Gellman, Gellman K9 Training with my
"What would Jeff do?" dog training tip of the day.
Tip number 202, proofing.
Guys, how many times are you doing your drills?
Everything, sit, down, place,
structured heel, like holding the dog accountable,
kennel up, come out of the kennel,
default waiting for food,
recall training, and then,
how many times are you doing it around distractions,
low-level, medium-, high-level distractions?
And then, how many times have you proofed
at a higher correction level
for noncompliance of a known command?
Literally, I mean, it's a journey.
Training is a journey.
It's, and if you always keep your dog "under threshold",
you're gonna struggle,
'cause then what happens when,
I don't know,
just anything happens, like the phone rings,
someone knocks on the door, or
a kid runs by or a skateboard, so
you wanna put your, you wanna teach all your basics,
teach all your fundamentals
of all your obedience commands, and then,
massive amounts of repeating of it,
and then, proofing it underneath
eventually, high levels of distractions,
holding your dog accountable,
making sure that they know if they're not
compliant to a known command, there's a consequence.
So, it's a combination of, let's, like, you know,
reward-based stuff to teach, and then, you know,
application of punishment to hold accountable.
I mean, but in hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times,
technically, thousands of times of the good stuff,
and then holding accountable shouldn't have to be that much,
but it should be meaningful
'cause if you're getting a dog that's a selective listener
or you're getting a dog that's a stubborn,
or if you're getting a dog that you can't always trust,
I mean, that's the magic.
Anytime you see a dog that is
really well trained and well obedient,
chances are, somebody did thousands of repetitions,
thousands.
And it looks sort of the same
each time, meaning, like you're really trying to create
this muscle memory in dogs, this repetitive behavior
in dogs, not robotics, but like,
reliability, reliability and trust.
So, unfortunately, or fortunately,
dogs have a lot of other choices to make out there,
and a lot of it is based on just like,
"Hey, that looks good!
I think I'll like, eh, nobody's watching.
Don't gotta hold it down.
Look, there's a chicken bone ...
half a mile away." (laughs)
So let's start doing that.
If you're not doing 50 reps a day of something,
get your butt going, right?
Get your butt going.
There's no magic to this stuff,
other than hard work, discipline, structure, repetition,
accountability.
So it actually is.
Jeff Gellman, Gellman K9 Training.
Madly in love with you.
I'm in LA.
Talk to you later. Bye.
I'm visiting here for a week.
I'm based in Rocklin.

What is a NetZED Suite? - Duration: 0:30.
Hi, my name is Adrian Wang.
I'm the Director of Innovation and Sustainability here, at Tridel, and we're here today to talk
about the NetZED suite.
So what is the NetZED and what does it stand for?
The NetZED is an acronym that stands for Net Zero Energy Dwelling unit.
What that means is all the electricity that is consumed within the suite - what's used
for heating and cooling, the lights, plug loads, cooking and cleaning, for example - all
that's produced by the solar PV panels up on the roof.

What's the best response to climate change? - Duration: 14:50.
This video comes to you in seven parts.
And we are going to cover a lot of ground here. If you can't tell this video is kind
of long. But in short, we're gonna talk about how does the world reduce its carbon footprint
- is it through large-scale structural and societal shifts? Or individual actions?
Who is we you ask? Well it is me and ClimateAdam who I am talking to via the interwebs.
Hey Adam, who are you and what do you do?
Adam: I talk about climate change, mostly climate science in quite a sort of playful,
youtubery way. So my goal at the beginning was to make videos that emulated my favorite
YouTubers, not necessarily educational YouTubers, but just kind of like harness this silliness
to talk about climate change.
And I started that while I was doing my, my PhD, which was in climate science.
And, um, I guess its been, oh God, maybe four years or so since I made my first video?
Miriam: Oh, before we go any further, I want to let you know that Adam and I put together
a sketch on his channel, which you can watch right [snaps] now.
I try to act? So you can be the judge of how well that went.
Okay, back to chatting.
Can I ask why you think that silliness is important?
Adam: Climate change is often, well, if not always, an intimidating topic. I think lots
of us are really scared of climate change, or we're just scared of being lectured about
climate change.
And so we end up not talking about it at all.
I think silence about climate change is one of the things that concerns me most about
it. And so by being silly, by being quite playful, I think it gives a lot of people
a way in to think about climate change and to talk about climate change when they wouldn't
normally.
I try not to aim the jokes at climate change - I'm not saying Climate Change is silly - I'm
saying that I am silly.
And using that as a way to try and, like, give a little window into talking about climate
change.
Miriam: So, speaking about climate change, in the world's best transition ever.
In the video on Adam's channel we're playing characters discussing what is a better way
to mitigate climate change? Individual actions - something you do in your daily life, or
structural changes - think government policy, industry overhaul, or cultural shifts.
Adam: Its interesting because I feel like there are two big debates in Climate Change.
There is the debate that happens outside the climate nerd world, which is the kind of false
debate about whether it is even happening.
But then if you're just are embedded in the climate nerd world, theres this big debate
about what kind of action, at least at the moment, there's this big debate about what
kind of action should take precedent.
Miriam: If we're speaking in broad strokes I tend to fall more on the side of pushing
for large-scale structural shifts whereas, Adam leans more toward individual actions.
Adam: I think for me, that is not because that is not because I don't think the collective
is important. I think it's fundamental we absolutely need it. But I can see we're not
doing that, it's very obvious we're not doing that.
And we've been not doing that for a while so, it's sort of in the same that some people
say charities are not a good thing - we need to get to a world where we don't need charity.
I sort of feel like yes, absolutely, we need to get to a world where we don't need charity,
but we don't have that world yet, so we still do need philanthropic organizations so people
don't starve to death or die of preventable diseases.
Similarly for climate change, absolutely we need structural changes, we're not getting
those at the moment so we need to cut our emissions in any way we can.
And I think pointing out the personal ways we can cut emissions is helpful in doing that.
Miriam: And from my perspective, my big problem with pushing for individual actions is often
how those recommendations are conveyed.
Because it often comes down, kind, kind of patronizingly. Like, hey, you need to change
your lifestyle because it's your fault that this is all happening. Which not only takes
the burden off the big players, that are the larger emitters, more, emitting more than
an individual person ever would.
But also, it ends up being kind of classist and racist a lot of times. I mean, I think
that's been a big problem of the environmental movement for the last like three decades,
four decades now.
What I see more often than not, is that the folks that are deciding what the individual
actions we need to do, are speaking from a place of racial and financial privilege which
makes it a lot easier to take those actions. All while they're simultaneously saying you're
a bad person if you don't take these actions, despite many individual actions being all
but impossible for a lot of people.
What's even more frustrating about that dynamic to me is that if you look at who are the biggest
emitters, it's the people that are wealthy, living in a colonialist nations, who have
the most capacity to choose not to fly, or buy that expensive train ticket or have the
time to figure out what emits the least but aren't because they are running the countries
and the companies that emit the most. And much of the every little bit helps conversations
aren't aimed at the big emitters.
That being said, I subscribe to many of the individual actions like I haven't eaten meat
in over a decade, I don't own a car.
Adam: Yeah, I think the idea of telling people what to do is, not something I have ever felt
comfortable with. What I've tried to do generally is speak about the things I've done in my
personal life, like why I've done them, how I've done them, or like, point out the difference
that certain actions can take.
But, I think you're absolutely right, people like me to be honest, often forget how lucky
I am to have enough flexibility in my life to make these changes in the first place.
I can choose to not really drive at all, like, I live in a city with good public transport,
I can afford to take the trains to places.
I had a job, so I live in London I should point out. I had a job recently in Berlin
and one in Poland. I was able to travel to both of these jobs by train and bus, which
not only proves how much flexibility I have in my time, but also, like, that was a more
expensive way to get there.
Miriam: I mean the other big thing that I think about is that as great as individual
actions may be, they're never gonna solve all of the problems.
So in the video on your channel I make a joke about taking over all the garbage trucks in
New York City and electrifying them. Other examples of things that no matter what I do
as an individual I'm not going to be able to change are:
How concrete is made and used, the energy efficiency of every truck on the road, or
how much electricity Amazon's servers use.
And there are loads of other things like that, consumer choice can only go so far.
Adam: Yeah, I think that's absolutely true, there's some things that I'm not even able
to choose, you know, there isn't a climate friendly option on the market. So it's all
well and good saying "oh market forces will push these things into changing"
If there isn't an electric car you can buy or you just can't even afford the electric
car then that's not gonna help.
One thing that really stuck for me, um, was just after the Paris agreement and I was among
quite a lot of people who were quite surprised to see 1.5 degrees as the, like, ambitious
target of the Paris Climate Agreement.
I interviewed a climate scientist, Piers Forster, a UK-based climate scientists shortly after
that. And his response was just that the best understanding of the time showed that this
was still something that was possible and that was something that was really valuable
for us to achieve. But if we wanted to achieve it, we didn't have really any choices left.
If you could think of a way of cutting emissions you needed to do that, like, every single
thing you could think, whether it was changing power plants or changing how you fly or what
you eat, just absolutely everything we need to throw at the problem needs to be thrown
at the problem if we're going to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
And there are some very good reasons why we should limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
Miriam: n.b. see card linking to Adam's video about why limiting warming to 1.5 degrees
should definitely be our goal.
The one thing that also really worries me, though, about kind of putting that out into
the world is that so many of the things that I see people talking about - they're not going
to help, they might actually make it worse. And I feel like when we talk about climate
change, and we're doing climate communication it's walking this tightrope between what's
really catchy and people will remember and people will actually do, like what's sticky
and what actually works.
This like big push for local food: great for a lot of things, maybe not super great for
climate change.
Right now this huge discussion of straw bans, almost no impact on global climate, objectively
pretty bad for disable people, only mildly bad for the oceans.
Adam: It's like the plastic straw thing, but here in the UK we've got a 5 pence charge
if you buy a new plastic bag at the shop. And since that's happened, so many people
when they find that I work on climate change, and if I meet someone now or something, even
know they say, "oh cool, well, you know I reuse my plastic bags, like, hey, I'm helping
solve this thing."
And, in one way that's awesome that they're like doing something that they feel is valuable
and you know, they feel like its connected to this thing, but it sucks because it's not
really.
I mean that helps certain things, but that's not gonna help climate change at all.
Miriam: I think that's really, probably, where the individual verse structural argument breaks
down also, like, makes it kind of pointless in that the ones that become really popular
- the structural and individual changes, uh, that people can get really excited about because
they're easy to talk about they're easy to understand, you can put them on a bumper sticker.
Kind of things like that.
The impact compared to what we need to do.
Adam: I think its important not to be absolutists, as soon as we start saying to people, in order
to be good, you need to do X, where X is some total thing be that vegetarianism or veganism
or never flying. There's no room for conversation there, there's no room for the fact we all
lead different lives with different access to different things.
There's that phrase, I don't know where its from but "perfect is the enemy of the good"
which I think is really valuable for climate change, but also just for the quality of my
YouTube videos.
Miriam: In the video on your channel we do talk about, kind of very briefly what are
some individual and structural actions that people can and should do. We've kind of talked
about how changing your diet even if just slightly is great. What are some other kind
of things you can do in your daily life that you want to recommend people do.
Adam: I think a lot of them people know about as well, so like diet and transport are the
ones we talk about a lot. Apart from the obvious ones I think the thing that people don't talk
about that much and is so ingrained in everything we do, and I think you think about quite a
lot is stuff.
Like how just like everything we buy, all of the materials we buy, the cameras we've
got, our phones, our clothes, all of this uses energy, ends up emitting greenhouse gases,
and recycling, although it's okay, it's not you know, the end of the world to recycle
stuff it's so much better if we can reduce the amount we used in the first place.
And when we've got something that goes a a bit wrong, if it gets a hole in it, if we
can repair it and keep it going and just avoid buying a new phone just because it's a bit
chipped or like there's a brand new faster one.
Miriam: I also think that kind of dovetails pretty perfectly into one of my favorite structural
changes to talk about.
This is a big debate, and by big debate, I mean completely ignored but super important
debate that's happening in the US at least with right to repair laws and as our devices
get smaller and thinner companies do things to make it basically all one piece which makes
it very hard to repair it.
And they aren't releasing the abilities for third-party companies to make bits to swap
stuff out, so like, right now basically all I can do with the laptop that I'm talking
to you on is replace the battery after my warranty's overs and a couple of the other
parts but if the screen goes or like a part of the screen goes I have to replace the entire
top of this laptop.
With my phone, all I can really replace right now is the physical body outside and the battery
and the screen.
So fighting for some kind of right to repair law in your area while on their face don't
necessarily seem like a climate change law, in actually if enough places have these laws
on the books, the big Apples and Googles and Lenovos of the world are going to have to
change how they make their products and let third-party vendors repair them.
Which can help reduce how often we have to buy new laptops and new phones and keeps us
out of the planned obsolescence cycle.
Adam: There's some really amazing organizations I've heard about where you can go along and
they help you fix your stuff. I tried to replace the battery in my electric toothbrush... I
did successfully replace the battery in my electric toothbrush.
Also got three soldering burns in the process, um, so for people like me who are terrible
at this there are also like places you can go where they'll repair stuff.
The really depressing thing often is that it costs as much or sometimes even more to
repair things, um, than it does to just buy a new one.
And I often choose to repair even when it's a big more expensive to buy a new one. but
I understand that's something that I'm privileged enough to have the cash, I have the luxury
of choice.
I also try to buy things secondhand a lot - to like, increase the demand for secondhand
things and show that things have value after they use, well that's one of the reasons,
the other reason is just because I'm cheap.
Miriam: Yeah, I mean, when I first moved to New York, I just biked everywhere, um, and
I told myself it was because, while public transport is great, if you can - it still
uses fossil fuels so biking even better, and I am a physically able person so could bike
everywhere, but really it's because a monthly subway pass in New York costs more than a
hundred dollars and I already bought my bike so that was free.
Adam: You joke about it, but when you can find things which on a personal level benefit
people in multiple ways, like you can suggest something which saves someone money and time
and also coincidentally reduces the greenhouse gases emitted, it's like win win win.
Miriam: Wooof, this is by the far the longest public video I have on this channel so if
you made it this far, thank you for watching.
Thank you so much Adam for coming to talk to me on my channel. It was really great,
I learned a lot, had a lot of thoughts.
Adam: And if you'd like a taste of what exists on my channel then check out the video we
made over there, it's basically a super condensed much silier version of the conversation you've
just seen.
Miriam: I would love to hear from you all how you think about mitigating climate change.
Are you existing in this dichotomy between individual and structural shifts or are you
thinking in an entirely different way.
As always I will be hanging out down there in the comments. Feel free to stop by and
I hope you're having a wonderful day.
Adam: BYE!

What's on my desk: Actress and playwright Vanessa Severo - Duration: 2:13.
Hi. I'm Vanessa Severo, actress playwright, director choreographer. (pause) Genius. (laughter)
This is not a desk. This is my dining room table.
On my desk today are a myriad of of legal pads. Frida Kahlo's diary which could be noted
as diary of a madwoman which is kind of my basis of research right now.
I am writing a one-woman play about Frida Kahlo
in which I will perform in. I performed it four years ago and now it's
going to be at the Kansas City Repertory Theater. And on my desk is all of my
research and the play itself, here. But I am doing a process called head, heart,
hand, writing. So I'm writing everything on these legal pads to which I then sift
out like a geometry problem and put into this computer. Frida Kahlo is meaningful
to me because she is a Hispanic woman that grew up in a time where women
weren't very celebrated but she was a wonderful genius artist and also grew up
with disabilities and rose above that and when studying her I found a lot of
my own traits in Frida Kahlo. Looking at a desk is kind of like going in
someone's bathroom and opening up the cabinets isn't it and you have first the
impulse when you think no I'm not going to do it and then you think what the hell.
Just read this great quote. It says "A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world."

Introducing the WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THERE WERE TWO? project!! - Duration: 4:50.
hey again everyone I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk about a new project
that I've been working on something that has been really fun to put together and
in the early days of actually doing it has been really fun to do. So this is
something that I have been calling the what would you do if there were two
project. On its own maybe that name just sounds ridiculous and actually maybe
once I explain it it sounds ridiculous still. But the premise is based on a lot
of things I've gone through lately I was asking people to identify if there's
anything that they've always wanted to do but that they felt a little
uncomfortable doing on their own. And then the whole point of this project is
to say if there is something that you would like to do let me know--you can let me
know privately you can let me know publicly and then we will figure out a
way to get that done. It's a pretty simple premise but it does touch on the
importance of people understanding the impact that doing even small things can
do. As someone who recently came out as pansexual
I understand the total freedom that comes from sharing things . And there are
little things that I've always wanted to do as well: wear makeup, do karaoke. Things
like dyeing our hair or shaving our heads, wearing revealing clothing with
some, there's there's a broad spectrum of things that people have reached out with
wanting to do. Some of the examples so far have been people wanting to get back
into the habit of running in the morning. As a parent and as someone who used to
do marathons and half marathons I can fully attest to how difficult it can be
to do these things and I haven't been a practiced runner in a while. So what we're
doing is one day week setting aside a morning time where me and the other
person will make sure that we go out in our own locations and get our run in.
The first thing that I started was doing yoga with someone else and yoga is now
one that four or five people have come forward with saying that they'd really
like to try. And it's really great because I get to offer the support and I
get to do a lot of things that I've wanted to do as well. And it's important
to note that other people have stepped up as well and said hey I noticed that
this is something that you've wanted to do I'd love to do that with you. I've got
a nail salon day planned for me to go on. Another one that I've got coming up
that I'm really excited that is wearing colorful pants which is what
someone reached out to me for so I'm heading to Old Navy this week to
hopefully I have my eye on a pair of yellow pants with some daisies on them
that I'm hoping to try on hoping that they fit and that I can wear them next
week as a partner in their remote location wears their red pants. And so
this is basically it. This is what the what would you do if there were two
project. It's taking on that very simple idea that supporting others can be
extremely meaningful and extremely important to them accomplishing little
things in their lives. What would I ask of you?
Well I'd love for you to support the project. Like this video, comment on this
video but I think importantly is there anything that you would like to do? I
will leave a contact link below as well where people can get in touch with me
because this doesn't have to be something that you share widely. I would
love to share the things that I'm doing just in case that there are other people
that they're hoping to see this kind of thing but it doesn't mean at all that
whatever you want to do is something that I will broadcast to the world. So
people can absolutely be as upfront about it or as secretive about it and it
doesn't matter to me I just want to help people do things that they've always
wanted to do knowing the wonderful feeling that can come
from finally accomplishing something that's really meant something to you. And
sometimes that thing may be a one-time thing for you and other times it may be
hey I really enjoyed this I'm gonna do this again. It is such a wide collection
of things that people have set forth and to me it really shows that we're all extremely
different and we all have these little things
would love to do and that we would love to be supported in doing. So that's that
that for me is my presentation, my pitch to you to join in on the what would you
do if there were two and if all you want to do is cheer lead the people who are
doing these great things I'll be sharing project pieces that were taking on so
maybe just leave comments on them and say hey this is great this is a really
cool thing to have tried. It doesn't have to be anything that's pumping me up but
I would love for people to show support to the people who are trying something
that they've been a little uncomfortable to do but that they're finding the
strength and conviction and courage to go ahead and do and to understand that
it's really important for us to be able to enhance our identities by taking on
things that are meaningful to us. And not letting societal pressures kind of tell
us that what we want to do isn't important. Because it is extremely
important and it is extremely valid to want to do these things and the only
reason people may not do them is because of the fear of what others may think.
And I think that is crap. So there. What's your thing gonna be? Let me know.
Talk to you later.

What Are Higher Dimensions? | The #WednesdayWisdom Show - Duration: 15:13.
It's the Wednesday wisdom show and you need to know - What are higher dimensions?
What are higher dimensions and how can they be related to spirituality?
Are they related to spirituality?
How do we even think about dimensions that are different from the experience that we
have?
What would being in contact with other with other higher dimensions do to our quality
of life?
Why would a person want to pursue changes in perception of reality.
Why would a person want to pursue changes in perception of reality that might come from
contact with other, greater, more inclusive dimensions?
Before we talk about that I'd like to share a video from a few years ago, a short thing,
and then I'll come back and we'll talk about it.
In our current perceptions we think of other states as being out there - like out in space
and we use the term other dimensions but still because we can never really imagined anything
except according to forms already existing in our mind, you know, as a result of the
experiences that we've had, we project those forms out there.
But, all those projections aren't out there.
They're just an entertaining rehash of our current level of perception.
Because we always imagine in terms of time and space.
But that's just the stuff of science-fiction and even the limitation of leading-edge science.
Quantum physicists already admit openly that they can only describe the boundary of human
perception, but they can't penetrate it or escape it.
So what other way is there to experience?
What do other higher dimensions really mean?
Which way is up?
Which way is out?
Take a look at this thing.
You ever seen one of these before?
If you haven't then you should really get out more.
If you've never seen one of these things then it looks to you like a random spattering of
marks.
Maybe there's a pattern, but if there is it's completely abstract, right?
Actually it's not abstract at all.
Every mark in the pattern serves a purpose and the purpose can't be achieved without
it.
This is a 3D image and it's encoded into two dimensions, and if you use your sense of sight
the way that you normally do you won't be able to see the 3D picture.
But there's a method.
You have to get up close to the screen and allow your - no, really, get up close to
the screen allow your eyes to go out of - no closer.
Put your nose right against the screen - Yeah good.
Nice nose! and then pull back your head slowly without refocusing your eyes.
So now if you succeed then you see the picture, it appears to you.
So it's obvious now that the higher dimension always existed along with the lower one right?
and that the lower one could only have been created with the knowledge of what image should
have be contained in the higher one.
Now think about this - The idea to create such a thing as a three-dimensional image
hidden in a two-dimensional drawing that would give you the pleasure of effort and discovery
and revelation - That comes from an infinitely higher and qualitatively different dimension!
One that you could never have imagined by just focusing on dots separated in space on
the screen.
And that thought is encoded into the 2D image.
So you see, each higher state is more inclusive, more creative, less material and more caring
and intentional.
Kabbalists who have penetrated the highest state tell us that it is absolute love.
Of course we only get there if we want it enough to learn how to do it.
Our experience of ourselves as separate individuals in this world, one amongst billions, is not
at all what it appears to be.
We are created and managed by a single intention and whether we're aware of it or not, all
of that is being managed and connected by this single thought.
The dimensions that we imagine are actually just the ascendance from the perception of
separation through a shared intention that reconnects the parts, makes them more and
more like the cohesive quality behind the whole structure that this intention created.
And, to climb that in our relationships with each other is to ascend those dimensions.
We talk about the infinity, space being infinite or that there are infinite dimensions that
physicist talk about, theoretical physicist talk about, but infinity and eternity according
to Kabbalists is not an aspect of quantity.
Innumerable is not something that has to do with number.
It is IN-numerable.
In other words there is a flip.
Something cannot be counted and cannot be measured - and when it can't be counted and
measure then what is it?
It is a quality.
How we understand quality, this is truly what makes us not understand and grasp dimensions
or the transition from a lower dimension to a higher dimension.
The more inclusive this quality is, that is without the expression of separation - the
higher it is.
So what did we see in that video?
We saw that separate shapes are nothing but the multiplicity of boundaries, borders around
a quality.. that turn it into a number.
Once it's turned into a number like that it loses all memory, all sense of what it actually
is and everything appears to be abstract and random.
We also saw that by blurring that picture of thousands and thousands of shapes through
our vision into a general picture, we start to look at the whole thing as though it were
one thing - we're looking at it qualitatively in this blur of vision and eventually the
quality of what is there in that field can present itself - the 3D picture appears we
are relating to the commonality, to what quality exist in that field.
We also saw that it is not possible that the particles that were experiencing themselves
as separate could possibly have organized the picture that appeared when we looked at
it in a qualitative form.
That knowledge of what to organize, in what way, so that it would both be an expression
of a field and also able to express itself as a collection of individuals - had to come
from what you would call a qualitative dimension that is higher than that.
And in that higher dimension would be the knowledge of what the outcome would be - how
could things be both individual and united?
The thought of what would happen to us as we individuals rose up, the individual particles
rose up into that general field and discovered that there was something qualitative there,
and that the identity of the individuals was not only what they had originally thought,
perceive themselves as, but that they're actually at home in this entire inclusive higher dimension
- that experience was given as part of the design.
And finally, this highest dimension is one that gave this entire creation that we're
looking at in the 3D picture, gave it its meaning and direction.
So there is an ultimate intention behind this whole thing and the beginning and the end
of the experience come from and resolved back into this intention - to do good, to give
pleasure in this entire experience.
It's that we are seeking for in spiritual dimensions, in the changes that we go through
in perception of reality.
They have to do completely and only with connection.
As we reconnect to what we have in common we ultimately find the Creator behind the
entire system.
And when we're involved that way, even if we're just searching for it, we I partake
of that quality of the Creator and we also pass it on to the levels and the dimensions
below us.
That's what we're after.
That's what enlightenment is, and that's what higher dimensions are.
They're not just there only to satisfy our curiosity, but to give us the capability to
do the same thing, to pass on that good.
A few days ago, last Thursday, Friday, into the weekend, a large group of Kabbalistic
students gathered together in the desert in Israel to go through this precise process
with each other.
They gathered together to build connections of love that match the intention behind the
system that created a human life and the world that we see.
They gathered together in order to climb up from separation to that shared field and to
make bonds of love, real love between them and between all of us particles and the Creator
that impelled the creation that we live.
They did that because all of those particles that we see - all the other people - they
are our soul.
They're all managed by the thought of the Creator and what we need to do to live a happy
and fulfilled life is to feel not just that we are individuals but to feel, actually experience
directly, experienced that there is this connective force and that this force is what life actually
is.

What is the Main Purpose of a Landing Page? - Duration: 2:43.
Hi! It's Ruth and today I'm gonna be talking about 'What is a landing page?'

Hi! It's Ruth. Today I'm talking about landing pages. So what is a landing page?
It's all that terminology that I know most of us don't have a clue about
especially if we don't have an online business. So a landing page is a page
that's a standalone page. It could be on your website or it could be using
something like lead pages, click funnels, wishpond,
and it's a page where you drive traffic to. That page has got your offer on it or
it's got a link to sign up to something. The reason you have it on one page, not
your but not your website is because that bar at the top of your homepage
about you it takes people away from it. So a landing page is really simple and
clean. You take somebody to that one page where it could be to download something
for free, it could be to sign up to your newsletter, it could be to join a webinar.
So there's one thing that you want them to do on that page. One call to action.
Generally they enter their name and the email address and then they click
through and they get a series of emails. If you want to have a look at some
software, leadpages is probably the market leader. You can do them on kajabi,
you can do them on MailChimp, you can do them on clickfunnels, but have a little
look at them. They're standalone pages. You use a URL at the top to share it
with people. You use them for Facebook advertising, you can use them for free
advertising to drive traffic that you want to download or sign up to something
specific. So it's very focused, very easy when you know how. If you want to find

Sadhguru -There is nothing to achieve. Do what you love! - Duration: 11:00.
As an ethical, matured human being how I should approach competition?
How I should view competition?
How I should behave and handle that?
As an ethical, matured human being - an ethical human being is a very immature human being.
I want you to know this.
You are holding on to your ethics because you have no consciousness.
Ethics you picked up from outside.
Whatever your society, your religion or your profession something they have put down some
rules.
Maybe they are the norms with which one can function when they don't know how to function.
Now for example, let's say you are a doctor.
There are the ethics of Hippocrates, you know?
That you must serve a person, it doesn't matter your convenience or inconvenience
when somebody is ill, when somebody's life is in danger, you must go and do it.
If you go by these ethics, yes you will go and do it but in the process you will become
sick.
Suppose you're a loving human being.
Yoga means fundamentally...
Today modern science has proved to you beyond any doubt that the whole existence is one
energy, isn't it?
Everything in the existence is one energy manifesting itself in millions of forms
or in other words this and this are same energy.
Now that you are sitting here, suppose for one moment
actually you experienced within yourself that all the people sitting in this hall are actually
a part of you.
Let us say you experienced something like this, not taught; actually you experience
like you experience the ten fingers of your hand; you experienced all these people for
a moment.
If you experience these people like this, after that do I have to teach you morality
and ethics?
Don't harm this person, don't kill this person, don't rob that person, would it
be needed?
Would it be needed?
No.
So yoga means just that, that you experience everything as one.
The word 'Yoga' comes from the word 'Union' where you see everything as one in your experience
because that is the reality.
Only because you have gotten enslaved to the limited dimension of your mind
everything is fragmented in the existence.
Only because you're right now you are basing all your experience through the sense perception
which perceives everything in comparison.
If you want to compare you have to divide.
If you want to compare you have to fragment the world into million pieces otherwise you
cannot experience.
This is the way of the sense perception
because your perception is limited to sense organs you have fragmented the world into
million pieces otherwise you cannot experience it.
So the whole process of yoga is to evolve beyond the sense perception so that you can
experience the existence as one.
Suppose you experienced all these people as a part of you, do I have to teach you ethics?
You will joyfully go and do what's needed and you will not become sick in the process.
Yes or no?
Yes?
So you are always trying to find poor substitutes for truth.
That's the biggest problem.
Now to study in one university you don't have to compete with anybody.
If you are truly interested in knowing what you want to study, you will study to the best
of your ability, isn't it?
Not because your friend is studying, you want to know that's why you study.
When you study like this; your study releases you.
When you study to get one mark more than your friend, you are getting entangled and sick
you are becoming.
You are actually becoming sick in the process, isn't it?
So to do what you want to do well, you don't have to compete with anybody.
What is it that you want to do?
Throw your life and do it.
What has to happen will happen according to your abilities and your capabilities.
Somebody is doing so much if you try to do that you will go mad
or if you compete with somebody, you also limit yourself; you never realize your full
potential.
If somebody is a monkey, you will become a little better monkey than him, that's all.
You will not realize your full potential, isn't it?
You look it into yourself.
What is that you want to do?
Offer your life to it and do it.
What has to happen will happen to the extent your capabilities, your intelligence and abilities
allow you, isn't it?
Why are you working against somebody?
It's not necessary.
And stop achieving things in this world.
There is nothing to achieve.
Do what you love to do with all your heart.
What has to happen will happen, isn't it?
Sadhguru: See, morality
morality has become an important thing in the society
because people have forsaken their humanity.
If your humanity was alive and active,
you would not need any morality.
People have put their humanity to sleep
and trying to behave like human beings with morality
and it's not working
because everybody will come up with his own morality.
And your kind of morality and another person's kind of morality is at war all the time.
What is right and wrong,
if you open this debate you will end up with a fight,
even within your family, believe me.
Yes or no?
No?
If you start a debate as to what is right and what is wrong,
whether it's in your
in the world
or in your neighborhood
or within the family,
fight is inevitable because no two people can agree on what is right and wrong
and it's never been settled ever
because no such thing exists.
Instead of trying to be right,
why don't people try to be sensible?
We need some sense in the planet.
These righteous people are always a trouble.
Once you have a strong set of morals,
you will see nobody in the world is all right.
If nobody in the world is okay,
you have a psychological problem.
The first sign of psychological imbalance is you start thinking,
'Nobody is okay.'
So morality is just that it's the first step towards insanity.
You just have to stretch it;
if you stretch it, you will go there.
Maybe you won't stretch it that far,
you are willing to bend it.
So you manage.
These are substitutes for humanity.
Why is it… our education systems,
our social mechanisms,
we are not doing enough to stir up humanity in a human being,
we are trying to fix it with morality and it's never worked.
All we will do is divide people into different kinds of moral sects
and they will always fight
because nobody can fit into your morality
because even you don't fit in actually.
Unless… you are smart enough to subvert it secretly (Laughs),
you understand?
Otherwise it doesn't work
because morality will not just stick to your profession,
it will enter every aspect of your life.
Once you start thinking what is the right thing to do in my profession,
you will also think what is the right thing to do on all levels of life, isn't it?
Once you start thinking this is the right thing
and somebody else think that is the right thing,
there is going to be a conflict
and a constant conflict.
If you stir up the humanity within you,
you will do the most sensible thing that's needed for that moment
and that's all that matters that
your actions are in context with the realities in which you exist.
And the context is always changing;
if you don't change according to that,
once
People who are moralistic are always looking archaic for the new generation of people,
isn't it?
They wonder why these guy is still alive.
(Laughs)
Yes.
If you're very moralistic,
even your children will wonder why are you still alive,
because you look like you are from somewhere else.
So what is the most sensible thing to do
what brings well-being to you and everybody around you;
this is all one needs to look at constantly.
Is there some way to fix it?
There is no way to fix it.
We have to be alive to it;
we have to be alive to it every moment
and as the context changes,
what we do has to change.
Morality and mortality are not very different.
(Laughter)

What Is 80/100 Grade Bitumen? & It's Applications - Duration: 2:09.
Hey guys, welcome to we civil engineers.
In this video, I'm going to teach you, What is the exact meaning of 80/100 grade
bitumen & why we need to classify the bitumen in different grades based on its penetration
value?.
An 80/100 grade bitumen indicates that its penetration value lies between 80 & 100.
Penetration value can be obtained by penetration test.
The penetration test measures the hardness or softness of bitumen by measuring the depth
in tenths of a millimeter to which a standard loaded needle will penetrate vertically in
5 seconds.
So, 80/100grade bitumen means this needle will penetrate, 8 mm to 10mm in 5 seconds.
The penetration test is a commonly adopted test on bitumen to grade the material in terms
of its hardness.
but why?
what's the need of grading?
Grading of bitumen helps to assess its suitability in different climatic conditions and types
of construction.
Let me explain to you this statement with examples.
suppose you have construct a road in a colder region then we prefer 180/200 grade to avoid
excessive brittleness.
And suppose you have to construct a road in a warmer region like tar dessert or somewhere
else.
then we prefer lower penetration grade to avoid softening.
When it comes to 80/100 grade bitumen, it is most commonly used bitumen for pavement
constructions.
It can be used in a normal condition where the temperature is not too much high or not
too much low.

What Manchester United must do to complete Jadon Sancho transfer - Duration: 2:35.
Manchester United's hopes of signing Dortmund star Jadon Sancho for around £100million this summer hinge on the club's Champions League hopes
The Red Devils have made the 19-year-old a priority target ahead of the summer transfer window following his rapid rise to stardom in Germany
The winger left Manchester City for the Bundesliga in 2017 in the search of first team football and hasn't looked back since, making his Champions League and England debuts since becoming a Dortmund player
As revealed by Metro.co.uk earlier this month, United have discussed the possibility of signing Sancho and have followed the winger's development closely in Germany
United were interested in the England star when he decided to leave City but Pep Guardiola's side refused to sell to a Premier League rival
United are prepared to go for him this summer and are confident that Dortmund will sell if they obtain their £100m valuation of the winger
However, the Red Devils know this will not be possible if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, according to the Mirror
The club's summer budget is based on playing in Europe's elite competition and they would also struggle to attract Sancho while outside of the Champions League
City stand to gain around £15m from any deal that sees Sancho leave Dortmund as they have a 15% sell-on fee in their agreement with the club, while they can also match any accepted bid for the winger
Guardiola, though, recently admitted that he doubts Sancho would return to the Etihad
There is still much uncertainty over who United's next permanent manager will be despite the success of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the role
Nevertheless, the Norwegian has been consulted on United's summer plans and has spoken to Ed Woodward about the strengths and weaknesses of the squad he inherited from Jose Mourinho

Why did Jesus Talk in Parables & What do they Mean? - Duration: 8:04.
did Jesus use parables to teach have you ever wondered that I wondered what they
mean well that is what we're going to talk about today I'm crazy simple align
your mind with God's truth with God's Word
hello you beautiful soul I am Nicki Drake founder of a crazy simple truth if
we have not met yet welcome to my You Tube channel I am going to take some
information right out of this thrift store book I actually believe that there
is a current version of this it's by Mark Littleton the book of the Bible all
your questions answered I got it for 50 Cent's but I think I've looked on Amazon
by the way I got a call Amazon out on something here I love Amazon and we shop
there whenever we need something but I twice have applied for their associate
program and both times I have failed and so all the links that I had under my
videos and in my website I had to like take those off because people would
think that they are helping me support my ministry by purchasing Amazon through
my link and they aren't anymore and so I've been debating on reapplying
apparently I don't really know what I did wrong the first time I didn't have a
certain amount of sales within a certain amount of time the second time I I think
the mistake that I made is I said help support my ministry by purchasing
through any of the links below whatever I guess I worded that wrong and I'm not
supposed to say that your help and support me so I don't have Amazon links
right now and I am gonna reapply eventually I'm kind of mad at some wait
until I'm not mad at them anymore it took me almost five hours to take all
the links of all of my videos oh my okay so anyway I think you can get this book
there why did Jesus tell parables Jesus told some 30 different parables several
found in different forms of each gospel the favorites among them are the Good
Samaritan Luke 10 25 through 37 the prodigal son Luke
15:11 through 32 the sower Matthew 13 3 through 8 and the pearl of great price
Matthew 13 45 and 46 Jesus told parable parables because they were a simple way
to explain complex truths okay hmm so I think they're supposed to be a
simple way but for some reason for me I have a lot of troublesome to Tulsa
sometimes understanding them so if you do let me
know in the comments do you have Charles sometimes understanding his parables it
says they were interesting entertaining and to some degree crowd pleasing this
isn't that funny to think of all the crowds that followed Jesus around and
wanted him to heal them and all of those things and they probably like thought
that was a really great story Jesus you know that was really cool the guy like
left his dad and took all of his inheritance and then he came back and
the father came running to him and set it in I mean can you see the crowd going
oh yeah Jesus that was great ha ha ha I don't know maybe not
ok parables were a traditional method used by rabbis to illustrate truths and
abstract concepts when Jesus's disciples asked him why he taught in parables
Jesus answered in Matthew 13 11 through 13 because it is given unto you to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it is not given for who
whose ever hath to him shall be given this must be King James Version or New
King James Version which always makes me feel like like fingernails on a
chalkboard it's like incredibly uncomfortable when
I read it anyway for Hoost ever hath to him shall be given and he
shall have more abundance but who's ever hath not from him shall be taken away
even that he hath therefore speak I to them in parables because they seeing see
not and hearing they hear not neither do they understand wasn't that entertaining
okay no not really what did Jesus mean by this he meant
that those who believed in him would receive more truth as they grew in faith
those who rejected him would think they understood what he was saying but they
wouldn't truly understand so does that mean I'm rejecting him no but let's go
on to the next category because it says how can we interpret the parables Jesus
explained one parable to his disciples the parable of the sower and I have done
a couple different videos with that story in my video because I love that
and it says we can use the same principles to interpret all the others
all the parables are about Christ's Kingdom I've never read this you guys
this I'm just reading it out of here for you because I happen to notice it was
about parables and I remembered that I promised you I do have a video on
parables so that's why it says the different characters and events
represent elements of his kingdom or elements of the world within the kingdom
parents they are in this sense many allegories with different people places
and things representing various real-life people places and things the
parable of the lost sheep symbolizes how God feels about one lost person and how
he searches throughout the world for that person some parables are more
difficult than others see yeah the lost sheep I understand the
sower I understand some of them are really really confusing so some parables
are more difficult but they're not necessarily meant to be easily
understand ooh that's good nose good nose good nose to me that's good news to
me people of faith must use their ability to think research ponder and
reason but most of all we must use faith to see the spiritual realities in
parables you know what and that's all it says hmm I hope that was helpful it kind
of explained to me that we're not really meant to understand them like some of
them so I guess I don't have to feel bad when I don't understand some of them
most of them I can understand there are they're parables that you have trouble
understanding I'd love to know if you're going through this easy Bible study with
me through the book of mark I know there's been a day or two
that I've said I honestly don't know how to interpret that parable without
looking it up and in this study is a beginner study so I'm trying to show you
how to pull something out of the Word of God without having those resources so
you can easily Google what does this parable mean and I'm sure you'll find
all kinds of information just make sure you back it up with scripture so you
know that it's the truth just like everything else I say always check the
scripture for your self so parables are a little bit confusing but sometimes a
little bit helpful and they all point back to God's kingdom I hope this was
helpful I hope you have a great day I mean seriously you know life is so
good and it's so short and it's so hard sometimes but I meant to say life is so
hard but God is so good and life is really really hard sometimes and we all
struggle in one way or another but God loves you so much and if you want some
crazy simple tips to read and understand and live by his truth the Bible then you
should consider subscribing to my channel because that's what I try to
teach you so you can live a life of freedom and have joy peace and a freedom

What is FOOL'S GOLD | Jill Maurer - Duration: 1:49.
This is Jill Maurer with Your Jewelry Minute, and today I'm answering the question "What
is fool's gold?".
Fool's gold isn't gold at all.
In fact it's not even a metal.
It is a mineral, and it's a mineral called pyrite.
And when pyrite is in the ground it can flash.
It has a very gold color, and it almost looks metallic.
It can flash, and it was called fool's gold because it made people believe that they had
struck gold or they'd found a gold deposit when in fact they had found a relatively inexpensive
stone called pyrite.
Pyrite when it's taken out of the ground and cut it it ... you'll be amazed if you haven't
seen it how much it really shines and how much it looks like a metal.
I can understand why it used to fool people.
Now what is interesting though is that often times pyrite is found around gold deposits.
So it can be ... you know there is some correlation there.
Because a lot of times when people were mining for gold they would also see pyrite, and they
would think that they had more gold than they did have.
And you know were disappointed to discover that they did have some gold, but mostly it
was pyrite.
And there have been stories where people intentionally utilized pyrite to sell their land for more.
To spread it around or shoot it against a wall of a cave to make it appear that there
may be gold in them thar hills and sell those hills for quite a bit more.
This is where the term salting the mine comes from.
Like sprinkling salt on your food to add a little flavor, that's what they were doing
to the mines.
This has been Your Jewelry Minute.
If you have a jewelry question for me just ask me in the comments below.
Until next time!

What's a Blended/Blenderized diet? Elis shares experience of using family food for her tube fed son - Duration: 13:20.
Hi, I'm Jenny Trott. In this video we're going to be learning more about blended
diets or blenderized diets, which is a way of feeding somebody normal family food
instead of bottles of feed or pouches the feed, to someone who has a peg or a
button,who's fed enterally. straight into their stomach. To find out more about
this I'm going to be talking to Elis who is the mom of Victor, and she's been
using blended diets for Victor for six months and so she's going to be sharing
the things that she has learnt during that time and it's going be my first
Skype interview. Please remember that Elis and myself are not professionals
we're just mums with some experience, so if this does interest you and you
want to know more, then please go and do some more research, speak to the
professionals that are involved with the person that you care for, and don't make
any changes to their feed until you've done that.
I hope you enjoy the film.
Hi Elis, thank you very much for joining me on my first Skype interview.
Hi Jenny thanks for having me. We're going be talking today about blended or
blenderized diets, but I think it would be really nice if you
introduced your son Victor to us first. So Victor is two-and-a-half. He's a very
happy boy. He does have a disability, his condition is undiagnosed but one of
his symptoms is feeding difficulty, so he's not able to eat enough orally to
get enough calories or liquids. So that's why he's got a feeding tube directly to
his stomach and that's called a mini button. Okay, so what, I sort of explained
very very briefly at the beginning of the video, but if you could and tell me
what a blended diet is for people who don't know. So blended diet, we like to
say it's family food blended down and given through the tube. So it literally
is as simple and straightforward as that, it's just normal
food. Absolutely, absolutely. And what would you normally be giving
Victor if you weren't giving him that family food? So if we weren't giving that
we would be giving the artificial feed. And that's the stuff that comes in the
bottles and the pouches that you get on prescription. That's right, yes, from the
NHS. So this might be a really obvious question to ask, but just in case anybody
watching needs to know the answer, why would you do a blended diet then, in over
the instead of giving that bottled feed? Well the artificial feed can really
have an adverse effect to the gut, and to the person who's consuming it.
So with Victor we noticed that he was, well the the worst thing about it was
the reflux and the vomiting. So because the feed wouldn't, just didn't
kind of suit him he would be vomiting up to six times a day. I read about blended
diets online and it said because of the consistency
and just because that's what we're meant to be eating as humans, that can make
that a lot better. So that's why we wanted to give it a go.
When I first came across blended diets years ago when my son first had a peg, it
I more came from it from the perspective of, I'm a feeder. That's kind of what I
love to do, I love to cook and I love to feed my family and it just felt really
wrong not to be doing that so it was lovely to find a way that I could.
Absolutely we feel that as well. And that's why we like to say it's family food
because Victor can join in with what the rest of the family is eating. And for us
it just feels like it, it feels better feels like we can feed our son for the
first time really. How did you find out about it in the first place?
Well reading online, and then also one of the the people, that one of the other
families that our respite nurses look after, we'd met them at a respite
event and I saw that they were giving their son something bright orange
through the tube. And I'd ask what kind of milk that was and they told me it was
orange juice! So yes I was very very interested then and they were, their son
that was the same age as my son and he seemed to really be thriving. So what can
you blend, what can you put through or what, maybe it's easier to say what you can't put through
a tube. I mean what what do you use? Yeah, well I think you can for literally
anything through the tube, but some things blend better than others. Some
things you need to use a sieve or a strainer for. So berries with seeds.
Those seeds can block the tube so I think you can definitely have them, but
you just have to be careful and use a sieve to get the seeds out. And other
foods that get a bit gloopy are very starchy foods like potatoes and pasta
and bread and rice. Those things we don't really like to blend because they get
very gloopy and they can kind of clog the tube. But you can't feed them as long
as you add enough liquid in. Okay so you're talking about blending,
obviously the word is blended diet, what are you using to do that blending, do you
need a special piece of equipment? You just need a blender. I think you can use
pretty much any blender. As long as you use a sieve after I don't think you need
one of those very expensive £200 or £300 blenders. They are great but you can just
go to a shop and buy any blender. The more powerful the better, and the less
straining and sieving, yes, so it's just less work if it's a more powerful
blender. Talking of work is this something that takes you hours to do? It
does take some time, and cleaning up after take some time as well. But it's
I find it manageable, because as I'm cooking for the rest of the family
Victor's lot just gets blended. Some people choose to batch cook and batch
blends. I'm not quite that organized. I do sometimes. If I have cooked a big batch of
food I'll do that, but really on an everyday basis it's just what we eat that gets
blended for Victor. And you mentioned earlier about some seeds of fruits
blocking pegs. When I've heard professionals talking about blended
diets one of the first things they come up with as a reason not to do it
is. oh you'll block but peg, or your block the button. What's your experience of
that? Well we've never managed to do it yet, and we've been feeding a blended
diet probably about six months now. And definitely if you use a sieve
or a strainer I don't think there's any risk of that at all.
Also I kind of feel that why they're so scared of that happening is the cost of
new buttons to the NHS. So we in our area are allowed one new button every six
months. And they've told us that the cost of that button is £150
so I think they may also be thinking of the cost. Okay
I mean from our experience the only time I've ever blocked a tube is with
medication. Yes. Crushing pills, you know. I never did it with a
blend. so yeah. I think you're probably more likes to do it with a tablet. Absolutely.
How do you make sure that Victor gets all the right calories and nutrients
that he needs? So that's quite an interesting one. At first it did cause me
quite a lot of anxiety. Am I giving him the right things, am I giving him enough?
How do I know? How do I know if I've got it right or wrong?
So our dietician told me to feed him what I think an average child of his age
would be eating, and just the same things as well and the quantities. There's also
pretty good advice out there, by the government, of what is the portion size
for a child of any age, which i think is a useful guide line. But otherwise
they said that you don't weigh food that you feed other children, or yourself.
You just eat. Yes that's my thought as well, is that I've never never had
those anxieties about what I fed my other daughter, but I think because it
suddenly becomes this almost medical procedure we worry more about getting it
right. Yes, yes that's that's my feeling as well. So I'm really trying to kind of
de-medicalise my own mind. And it does seem more natural to do this and I try
to just see how his nappies are for example, if I'm thinking about liquids.
You know and all sorts of other bowel movements as well. I just check
his nappies and his weight and kind of go by that. We've mentioned
professionals a few times already. What's been your experience of the reaction
when you've talked to people about doing a blended diet? Very positive actually.
Yes in our area they really seem to be on board with it. Also when we first had
the peg changed to a button, I told that our surgeon Mr. Lee at John Radcliffe
Hospital in Oxford, I told him that I was planning to feed Victor a blended diet
and he had a very positive reaction to that. He said that he had
recently changed his mind about it. That if I'd asked him two years ago he would
have said, oh no, no way don't do that. But he had seen some new research, he'd seen
his patients thriving and he was, yes absolutely on board with it. He said that
there's something in food that we don't quite understand and we can't replicate.
And that's been our experience as well with dietician, with respite nurses.
So our respite nurses are allowed to give a blended diet if I have prepared
it, they're allowed to give it they just need to know what's inside, just in case
there's any reactions or anything like that. But the one place we struggle with
is school. So he does go to a specialist school but they're still working on
their policies. I believe they say it's the council that is not giving them the
go-ahead. So our respite nurses and some other
health care teams are all working together, and having their conversation
with the school and with the council of what's best to do really. But we're
quite keen for them to respect our wishes at school. Yeah, I'm sure. So how do
you get around that? That he's not able to get any blended food at school? At the
moment he only attends for three hours a day. So it's not a long time. So I'm quite
relaxed about it at the moment, and so that means when he goes he will have one
bottle of artificial feed while he's at school. And because I mentioned earlier
about his vomiting on the artificial feed, but it seems to be that even if he
has the majority of his food blended, then those few artificial feeds will sit
much better, and he still doesn't vomit. Because of course it's not an
all-or-nothing thing. It can be, you know, a bit of each according to what your
circumstances are and what you're able to do. Definitely, definitely we started
out with just one blended meal a day. We wanted to see that it is would suit him
so we would do a dinner with him, and just gradually increased it. But some
days when we're very busy or when we're travelling we can even give him
all day we we could give him an artificial feed as well. So it does
depend on what's going on around as well. Yes, so what do you do if you go out
visiting somewhere, or you go traveling and you're not in your own kitchen? How do
you manage that? Yes, so that's a bit tricky because I think I may have over
educated myself with food hygiene standards! So at the moment when we
do go travelling when I'm not in a kitchen of any sort we just feed him
an artificial feed. But I believe some people, they do it with freezer bags and
hot water to warm things up, so it's definitely possible to give it on the
go as well. And certainly on holiday. So we're planning to go on holiday in
the summer, abroad, so we'll just be taking a blender and sieve. Have equipment, will travel.
Yes absolutely. You've mentioned a few times about doing research online and
and things like that. I presume there are really good resources that I can list
underneath this video of the different places that people can go to find out
information. Absolutely there's a support group and a few websites that
I have found useful. So Elis thank you so much for sharing all of your
knowledge and experience. I'm sure that's going to be really useful to lots of
parents watching thank you so much. Oh my pleasure,
thank you Jenny. Thanks bye.
