David: In this video we're going to teach you about the 7 Chakras.

Heather: Plus stay to the end for a secret weapon to discover your personal Chakra identity.

I'm Heather.

David: And I'm David.

Heather: From Zen Rose Garden.

David: Dot com.

Heather: Yes.

David: Helping people create- Heather: Badass lives.

What is a Chakra?

David: So a Chakra is basically a vortex, a spinning wheel of energy that is used to

draw energy in and release energy out.

Heather: From your body.

David: From your body.

Heather: From the body.

David: From the body.

Heather: The Chakra is no longer a theoretical thing, there are actually imaging systems

that can show you these energy centers in your body.

David: There are thousands of Chakras.

The main seven that we're gonna cover have to do with seven different parts of your life,

that many.

Heather: Let's get into it.

David: Into the Chakras.

Heather: Yes.

The first Chakra is your Root Chakra which is located at the base of your spine.

The color is red and the purpose in your life is stability, foundation, grounding, root

sexuality, primal protection.

David: And letting your stuff go.

Heather: Yes.

David: Then we go onto the Sacral Chakra.

The Sacral Chakra is located around about your belly button, about a couple inches below.

Its color is orange and it has to do with the passion in life, your creative expression

and sensuality and sexuality in life.

Heather: It's really important that this Chakra is activated if you are a dancer or a creative

person or somebody that's very passionate about what they do, it's good to have it open.

David: Yes.

Heather: The next Chakra is the Solar Plexus Chakra and as the name states it is located

right about here where your Solar Plexus is.

The color is yellow and the purpose in your life is about power, it's about boundaries,

it's about feeling safe in your skin, it's about achievement, it's about mental capacity

even though it's not in your mind it's here.

David: This is a great Chakra for CEOs or any entrepreneurial type people.

Heather: Yes.

David: Next we come to the Heart Chakra which is located where?

About the heart.

The color is green and this has to do with your emotion.

A lot of emotions, a lot of relationships, a lot of love for the world, love for yourself

that would be the Heart Chakra.

Heather: Compassion.

David: Definitely.

Heather: And all the mushy, mushy stuff.

The fifth Chakra is located in your throat and guess what?

It's called the Throat Chakra.

Its color is traditionally turquoise, its purpose is you guessed it, speaking, singing,

expression, creative expression, writing, all those kinds of things.

David: This is great for singers or artists of any kind.

Next we come to the Third Eye Chakra which is located about your third eye which is also

called the Brow Chakra.

Heather: It's in the middle of your forehead.

David: Middle of your forehead.

This one is indigo and basically has to do with your intuition, your gut instincts even

though it's not your gut.

Heather: They all kind of work together.

David: Yeah, so it has to do with psychic abilities, it has to do with all that kind

of mystical awesomeness.

Heather: It also has to do with abstract thought.

Someone that is a philosopher might have a very active third eye.

The Third Eye is not just for mystical wooji people it's for anybody who's like genius

status.

David: Yep, Einstein would be very Third Eye.

Heather: I think everybody's genius status but ... The seventh Chakra is the Crown Chakra

and it is on top of your head.

The color is traditionally white or violet and its purpose is connection to the bigger

picture, connection to spirit.

David: You can call it God, angels, the universe, whatever higher essence of everything that

created the everything that would be the connection through the Crown.

Heather: That's what the Crown is all about.

David: Now it's time for the bonus tip.

Heather: Bonus tip.

David: Now we're gonna tell you a little bit about how Chakras spin.

Heather: Chakras spin right and they spin left.

The word Chakra means wheel of light and just like a wheel the Chakra spins, it spins right

and it spins left.

One way it's releasing energy and another way it's bringing energy in.

The Chakras that are in the body spin this way and this way, but the unique thing about

the Crown Chakra and the Root Chakra is that they spin up and down.

Heather: The Crown Chakra spins this way and the Root Chakra also spins this way facing

down.

The Crown Chakra is pulling in energy from the source, the sun, the universe, Root Chakra

is pulling in energy from the Earth.

You get energy from the source and energy from the Earth and they just kind of like

bring it all in.

Supernova Energy.

David: You just learned the basics to understanding Chakras.

Heather: Now it's time for that secret weapon.

Here's how you can make your own mystery messages

using things you can find at home just like the Hunter Street kids.

Here's everything you'll need for the first mystery message.

Grab a white crayon and a white piece of paper

and write down your secret message.

Paint over your message with a bright water color.

I wonder what it says.

Yeah, there's something fishy there.

Looks like there's a new mystery.

And next you can even try your hand at a secret painting.

Dip your cotton swab into a mixture of baking soda and water.

Use your swab to draw something secret.

Wait for the ink to become invisible.

Now you have your friend paint over it with some grape juice.

And voila!

Hey, that looks just like the crown Jake was holding.

I wonder what that could mean.

Hey, wanna see something you don't know about yet?

What is it?

It's good.

This last secret message is a real page turner.

This is all you'll need.

Stack two sheets of paper on top of each other.

Write your secret message on the top paper.

The trick is to press hard.

Take away the first sheet

and have your friend shade on top of the second sheet.

Now you can ask them burning questions without anyone else knowing.

Hmm, wondering who framed Erik?

Well that's a whole other mystery to figure out on Hunter Street.

ما لا تعرفه عن القرآن ! - What you don't know about the Quran - Duration: 47:19.

-Chapter One- -Preface-

Over many years before the beginning of Islam

Christians debated about an important topic. which was about "The divinity of Christ"

"Was Jesus a son of god, and has the blood of gods, etc?"

"or was he a normal human being?"

That topic led Christians to differ between each other and led to many different denominations

That was until 325 AC. In this year in Nicaea, Turkey

The roman emperor held a council in which all bishops from around the empire met to discus that topic

and find a final answer for that question

In that council there was a famous priest named "Arius"

Arius said a very different opinion

He said that Jesus is not neither a god nor a son of god like many people believe

But rather, he was just a human being sent from god to guide humanity to the right path

Just a prophet

Arius's opinion led to a chaos in the council as expected

Until the other bishops decided to dismiss him and called his opinion a "heresy"

And although Arius's opinion was well known and many Christians even used to believe in it

But it spread even more and many more believed it

To the point that they almost turned against the empire and make their idea dominate even more

But the roman authorities saved the situation and started to persecute them

So, they started to leave the country as the persecutions started to increase

And traveled to other places like the east and the Arabian Peninsula

But in fact those who believed Arius's thoughts weren't the first to believe in it

Those were a very old beliefs. Started to appear as early as the beginning of Christianity under many names

Like, for example, the "Ebionites" denomination

In fact, until today, until this very day

There're still christian denominations that believe in that

Those are Christians, but they don't believe that neither Jesus is divine

nor there's something called the holy spirit

nor there's anything called the Holy Trinity

That's why, unlike many people think

The belief of "one god" and that Jesus is just a human being

is not an "Islamic belief", I mean it's not an idea that Islam made it

This's a very old belief and it's origin is Christianity

And there was and still are many Christians believe in it

But the question now is..

If that belief was already there before Islam appears

What's the need of a new prophet to come and say it?

Why's the need for a third new religion?

A religion with a new story, scenario and wars

Just to say something that was already there and many people even believed in it

What's purpose of that third religion?

a religion that said nothing new

That's a question. But what does this has to do with the topic of the video?

Or.. what does the story of Arius.. has to do with the Quran?

"What does this has to do with the topic of the video?"

Arius and those who have been prosecuted

When they left to the Arabian Peninsula, took their christian books with them

As predictable

But these books were written in a language that was the primary one for the writing at the time

Not "Arabic" of course, Arabic was barely known at the time

Instead, it was another language, the "Aramaic" language

Which had a sub language called "Syriac"

The Syriac language was one of the primary languages for writing at the time

Now, what happened for that third new religion to appear

is that this new third religion was not new at all

It's nothing but the ideas of those christian denominations

The christian denominations that believed that god was one and Jesus was just a human being

And that "Quran", most of it,

Is nothing but a translation of the christian books that entered the Arabian Peninsula

By the people who have been prosecuted and left the empire

The books which were written in Syriac

-Chapter Two- -Is the Quran a translated christian books?-

Have you ever wondered why the Quran said many times it's an "Arabic Book"

Why would a book that's supposedly clearly written in Arabic..

Says so many times "I'm an Arabic book"?

Why do u need to say the language of the information u say?

For example, the Greek authors who wrote the new testament in Greek

Didn't have to say even for once that their book is written in Greek

Because it's clearly written in Greek

Beside, the information itself is useless

The repeating phrases in the Quran saying "It's an Arabic book"

Is suspicious and an evidence of a very different scenario

Something like that there were people who knew that the Quran.. was not really an Arabic book

And that's exactly what was happening

Many people said that whoever wrote the book heard it from christian priests,

translated it and claimed it's his

That's why you'll find verses saying: "Some people are abusing Moh. saying he's an ear"

Meaning he's claiming what he heard from others to himself

"Yes, he's an ear" meaning he admitted it! "But an ear of goodness for you"

"And anyone who'll abuse Moh. again will be rot in hell when he comes to us!"

And some said that the words of the Quran were copied from another place

Because we know we've heard it before

That's why you'll find verses saying: "When our verses are recited to them, they say we've heard it"

Meaning they've heard it before

And others said whoever wrote the Quran copied it from a non Arabic source

Because it contains many non Arabic words

So the Quran responded and said:

"Yes we know that some say: There's a foreign human being teaching the prophet"

"No that's not true, the Quran is an Arabic book"

The accusations that the Quran is not an Arabic book is a lot

To the point that the Quran kept defending itself and threatening anyone who says it's not Arabic book

Not once or twice.. but more than 10 times!

But let's just put all these infidel accusations aside

And try to understand why they said so

What led not 1 or 2 or even 10..

But so many people to say that the Quran has a non Arabic origins and contains many foreign words

There're battles between researchers and people of knowledge

regarding the question: "Does the Quran contain non Arabic words in it?"

But before i show you the non Arabic words in the Quran

First, You have to know how to read the Quran correctly

And to be able to read the Quran correctly

You've to read it as a raw text.. You have to take it to it's first origin

Meaning you've to remove all the doting

Then you've to remove the punctuation marks

Then you've to remove all the letters that were added later

Because all of this were added later, over 100 years after the death of Muhammad

When you do this you'll find that the Quran looks so weird

You'll notice that almost all letters look the same

To the point that among the 28 letters of the Arabic language

Only 6 letters.. that you'll be able to recognize them

And the other 22 letters, you won't be able to

For example, You won't recognize the letter ع from the letter غ

The letter ـة which refers to the "female" will be the same as ـه which indicates "ownership"

The letter س will be the same as ش

Both the س and ش will be the same as many other 3 letters which together look like them

The letter ب will be same as ت and ث

The letter ج will look like the ح and خ

And so on. what i'm trying to point is..

The possibility to mistake something if you tried to put dots in the Quran in it's raw version

after more than 50 years from the death of Muhammad

"The time which they say the doting process of the Quran started"

Is very high!

Especially because you're not dotting a letter or two or even a few words

You're dotting more than 77,000 words!

Of course they were more than 77,000 words

But there are so many parts of the Quran that have been lost over 150 years of the death of Moh.

But we'll discuss that in detail at the end of this video, so just keep watching

That's why those Specialists in the study of the Koran

And i mean by Specialists, those who dare to criticize the Quran without fear or taking sides

Those people when they see a word that has hundreds of interpretations

Or more precisely, no body knows what it means but they're just making assumptions

They take that word and then remove all the extras..

Like the doting, the punctuation marks, ..

And if there's a letter that was invented after the death of Moh. they remove it too

From there they take that word and read it again

And maybe after they add a different dot or remove one,

add a different punctuation mark, or remove one

As if those who dotted the quran made a mistake

That word starts to has a different meaning from the one written in the Quran of today

Okay, give us an example, Sherif

-Chapter 3-

-Where are the non Arabic words in the Quran?-

Like, in the Quran 6:146 when he says:

"..and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or..

..الحوايا"

What does الحوايا means? do you know what it means?. you don't.

Let's take that word into it's raw version, and remove all the extras like we said

And play with the dots, as if they missed one or added one by mistake

Let's put one under the letter ح

Then the word will be الجوايا. That word is Syriac one.. which means "entrails"

Okay now let's take that word and put it back in the sentence, "..to their backs or the entrails"

Now that sentence is clear in Arabic

Now Of course if you looked that word in the Arabic dictionaries

You'll find a 100 Interpretation for it

That is very predictable

But think about what "Interpretation" really means

All the thousands of interpretations of the Quranic weird words that exist in all Islamic books and dictionaries

are nothing but mere imagination

They're just trying to find a meaning that can work in the context of the sentence

Or in the Quran 19:24 when he was talking about the birth of Jesus.. says:

"He called her from below her, "do not grieve, your lord has provided beneath you a (stream - سريا)!"

What does سريا means ?!

*different Interpretations*

the word سريا in arabic means a river

but here it's meaningless if you'll take it's meaning as "river"

So, some tried to make up another meaning that can go with the meaning of the sentence

So they said "سريا can also mean Generous"

You mean a Generous one? you mean Jesus?!

That word as many others is meaningless in this sentence

But it has a Syriac meaning!

The word سريا in Syriac means "legitimate person"

Now the sentence has a meaningful meaning

The baby is saying to Maryam his mother, "do not grieve, your god..

..made the birth of your child legitimate"

Meaning don't be sad you gave birth to me without anybody sleeping with you

Meaning i'm a legitimate baby

legitimate. not generous.. or river.

Or in the Quran 12:88

when they entered upon Joseph, they said, "O 'Azeez, adversity has touched us and our family..

..and we have come with goods (مزجاه - poor in quality)

what's the meaning of مزجاه ?!

That word is not an arabic word

*different Interpretations*

So some said it can have the meaning of "poor in quality"

But this meaning isn't right in the sentence

What do u mean they went to the King and said to him we've a poor quality goods so give us money!

It doesn't seem right

So what we'll do is remove all the extras and take it back to it's raw version

and try with different dots, we may find a new meaningful word.

It'd be مرجية

The word مرجية is a Syriac word

It means fresh or moisturizing

Now the sentence became much more clear

"when they entered they said, "O 'Azeez, adversity has touched us and our family..

..and we have come with fresh goods, so give us some money"

If we wanted to name all the Syriac words in the Quran, we will take forever

There're tons of books that talk about the amount of Syriac words in the Quran

All the religious names in the Quran are written in their Syriac form

Names such as Soloman, Ishmael, Isaac, Yaaqob, Zakaria, Maryam and Noah

The pronunciation of these names in the Quran is in it's Syriac form

And not only the names but even the religious terms were written in it's Syriac form

Among them are words people think they only exist in Islam

Like Ayah, Kafer, Salah, Nafs, Ganna, Sai'at

Even when the Quran call Christians "Nasara"

There were no other language that call them that, other than the Syriac

And of course there're other words that has no meaning neither in Arabic

nor in any other language

nor even if you tried to remove the doting and tried to find new words from it

Like for example the word "Kawthar" which has a whole Sura named after it

Nobody knows what it means and as usual, hundreds of Interpretation

So some said it means "the war booty"

And some said it means "the good and the blessing"

Or someone like "el-qurtubi" who gave 7 different meanings for the same word

Or "Ibn elnaqib" who gave 26 different meanings for the same word

This huge number of meanings and interpretations for many of the Quranic words

itself indicates that nobody really knows what they actually mean

Or for example in the Quran 80:31 when he says "And fruit and أبا"

What does أبا means?

It has no meaning

*different Interpretations*

Or in the Quran 11:75 when he says, "Abraham was forbearing and "أواه"

أواه! what's the meaning of أواه!

And as usual.. hundreds of interpretations

Some said it means he used to say "oh" because he fears god so much!

And some said it means "Merciful"!

And some said it means "He guides others to good"!

Notice that even though nobody really knows what it means

They always come up with "good" meanings

Why? because the meaning's supposed to be on Ibrahim

That's why it has to be "good"

But if he said "The infidel Pharaoh is أواه"

Then it'd be different They'll say أواه sometimes can mean cruel

And sometimes can mean oppressive

They just imagine the meanings

Or in the Quran 26:63 when he says:

Then we inspired to Moses, "Strike with your stick the sea" and it parted and each portion was like a..

..huge mountain (الطود)

الطود؟!

what does الطود means?!

They said it means "mountain"

Logically, he said he split the sea and every portion was like..

a mountain

Makes sense

They did imagine the right meaning

On a ward that was originally written wrong

It was supposed to be الطور not الطود

The ر instead of د but it was written wrong

And the evidence is that the word الطود was never mentioned somewhere else in the Quran

But the word الطور was mentioned.. 10 times

And in every one of them the meaning has the same meaning that's supposedly in this sentence

Means "mountain"

Coping the Quran from other non Arabic sources Led to many errors in the book

Not only in the meaningless or nonsense words

But also in the Syntax of some sentences

There are so many sentences in the Quran that makes no sense at all

Like in the Quran 60:11 when he says:

"The Quranic verse in the picture is an imaginary translation, the Arabic one makes no sense"

What does it mean? what does وإن فاتكم شيء من أزواجكم إلى الكفار means؟

I want you to try to understand this verse by yourself.. you won't be able to

Something doesn't seem write in the Syntax of the sentence

And as usual, hundreds of interpretations

Most of them say it means "Escaped"

Meaning "If your wives escaped and went to the infidels"

But in fact that's just an imaginary interpretation

And even if this was the meaning of it, "Escaped"

Then why didn't he just say "If your wives escaped" or "If your wives escaped and went to the infidels"

A simple, clear sentence that nobody would doubt it's meaning

And there won't be a thousand interpretations for it

Or in the Quran 24:61

"There is not upon the blind, nor the ill, nor yourselves any constraint when you eat from your own houses"

Meaning that it's okay for the blind, the ill and you all to eat from your houses

I don't understand

You mean that the one who created the universe, made all these wars, stories and chaos

to send a book and write in it, "it's okay people, you can eat from your houses"

That sentence is so pointless

And at the same verse it says "There is not upon you any constraint to eat from houses whose keys you possess"

So if i stole some house's key, i'm allowed to go and eat from it?

And at the same verse it says "There is not upon you any constraint to eat alone or together!"

"Okay guys don't worry god allowed you to eat alone or together!"

We're allowed to eat alone or together..

Can there even be any other option?

So just 1 sentence contains tons of nonsense topics

And beside that, the whole sentence is pointless, there's no use for it

And if you deleted it from the Quran, the Quran won't be affected at all

And those who won't read it won't miss anything

-Chapter four-

- Unclear book -

There's a verse in the Quran that says:

"We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people to state clearly for them"

But that verse was contradicting to what's really happening

Mohammad himself didn't know the meaning behind many of the Quranic verses

Which's supposed to be Arabic

And was sent by the language of his people

And his mission was to explain it to them

Al-tabari once said that Aisha "Moh.'s wife" said that Mohammad had this habit..

Which is not explaining any verse in the Quran except for a very few

"Which were obviously the clear verses that need no clarification"

And that's true even if what Al-tabari said was a lie

Because if Mohammad explained the Quran to the people he was "sent" to

There wouldn't be tons of thousands of interpretations

Which increase every time a new sheikh's born

Simply we'd have only the Quran and it's a clear book for all people to understand

And even if it needed an interpretation, there'd be only one..

Which will be Mohammad's. Because it's his main mission as a prophet, to explain it to the people

Now how do you claim that the Quran was sent by the language of his people

And his own people didn't understand it

And contains many words that neither Arabic nor make any sense

And if you'll send a book that's not clear at all

That neither the one who claims that it's revealed to him understands it

Nor those whom the book was sent to them understand it

Nor after 1400 people agree on it's meaning

because it has hundreds of meanings and interpretations

Then why did u send it?

That's why it's almost impossible for anyone to translate the Quran to any language

Not because the quran is supposed to be written only in Arabic

Or because Arabic is the best language out there

Or because Arabic is the favorite language for God

No, it's just because it contains nonsense words

That are not clear neither in Arabic, nor in any other languages

So obviously you won't be able to translate them

"Are you allowed to translate the Quran into English" -No!

- No, it's forbidden

You can't even translate the word Quran itself!

I mean, here's a question for you.. Do u know what the word "Quran" really means?!

The book which you're willing to die for don't know it's meaning

And if you tried to look for it you'll, as expected, find a hundred meanings

That's because the word Quran isn't actually Arabic, it's a Syriac one.

It's origin is the word "Qurian" which means..

"A liturgical christian book"

-Chapter five-

-The Quran is a christian book?-

Have you ever wondered why did the Quran mention Jesus 36 times..

..and Muhammad only 4 times?

36 times the Quran mentions Jesus and his life

And only 4 times does he mentions Muhammad

As if the book was made for Jesus

And even the 4 times where he mentioned Muhammad in them

The name can also refer to Jesus

If you took "Muhammad" as a meaning, not a name of a person

And the evidence is that the only time he mentioned the name of a prophet (claiming to be the final prophet)

He didn't say his name is Muhammad

He said his name is Ahmed!

Of course Sheikhs say they're one. Both Muhammad & Ahmed have the same meaning (a great person)

But if that was the case then he wouldn't have said "His name is Ahmed" (61:6)

He would've simply said "A great prophet.. or a good prophet"

But he said his name is Ahmed. meaning he called him by his name

Or the Quran is very precise in all of it's verses except here, here it's not very precise?!

And in another verse he said, "Muhammad is not the father of any of your men"

And that applies to Jesus

Jesus wasn't married and never had any children

But Muhammad? he had kids and married 12 times!

And in another verse he says: "Muhammad is not but a messenger..

.. other messengers have passed on before him"

The problem is that there's another verse that says:

"Jesus is not but a messenger.. other messengers have passed on before him"

The two verses are identical, except the word Jesus was only replaced by the word Muhammad

You're not convinced yet, right? okay..

There was an old coin that was found in Palestine dates back to the year 647-658

Meaning after Muslims were supposed to have entered Palestine with at least 10 years

The name "Muhammad" is written on one side of the coin

But on the other side there was a man holding a cross!

I want you to think about this for a moment

How did the coins of a country that's supposedly Muslim Contain both the name Muhammad and a cross on it?

The cross which Islam refuses completely..

..because it says that Jesus wasn't crucified and all this is just a lie..

.. is the formal coin of the country.. How?!

Or you'll tell me that this's a sign of the forgiveness of the Arab rulers?

The rulers whom when they entered those countries prevented any new churches to be built

And prevented any crosses to be put neither on someone's neck nor even on churches

Same was found on a Syrian coin between the year 686 to 687

That coin has the name Muhammad on it, and a person holding a cross

I'm not here to tell you how did this happen Cuz literally no one really knows what happened

All opinions on that matter are just thoughts about what happened at that period of time

All what i'm trying to tell you is that, that history you think is the real one of Islam

is very different from the real history. The real history is very vague.

All i'm trying to tell you is that all evidences point to the fact that

most of the Quran is translated from Syriac christian books

Not only in the words, sentences or even the name of the book itself

Even most of the stories in it were translated and copied from other religions and legends

-Chapter six-

- The sources of the Quranic stories -

Let's take for example the story of Uncle Adam and his wife Eve

When god created Adam and then ordered the angels to kneel to him

Then the devil refused and said "no, Adam was made from clay and i'm from fire"

"I need to kneel to someone on my level, lol"

Then God got mad and kicked him out of heaven

That order of events wasn't mentioned in the bible

It's true. But it's mentioned in the Rabbinic literature

The Rabbinic literature isn't the Torah to say that God borrowed a story from his other book

No, the Rabbinic literature was written by humans

It's a Jewish literature about creation and life that was written more than 300 years before Islam

That means that the Quran copied the story of Adam and Eve from Human books

Or the people of Saturday's story, that famous story

It was written in the Torah thousands of years before Islam even appears

In Exodus, Chapter 16

Or the story of the Cow in "Quran 2"

It was written in many Jewish legends long before Islam appears

Or the story of Gog and Magog, which people think it only exists in Islam

That story existed in the old Testament in Judaism

And in many other Syriac legends aside from Judaism

Or the story of Noah and the ship

That famous legend was mentioned long before the 3 religions took it

The first mention of this story goes back to the year 1600 BC

More than 2200 years before the Islamic religion appears

Or the story of Cain and Abel, when Cain killed his brother Abel and killed him

Then the Quran said, "whoever kills a soul unless for a soul it is as if he had slain mankind entirely..

..and whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely"

The verse which many repeat it and take it as a sign for the mercy of Islam

And some upload it as a Facebook cover and beside it some red hearts

Fact is, the Quran isn't the source to neither the story nor the sentence itself

That sentence and the story were mentioned in a Jewish book named "Mishnah Sanhedrin"

That book was written 400 years before Islam

a Jewish book that talked about the laws that the Israelis should live by

In chapter four that book talks about murder

And says that the Israelis shouldn't kill, especially an innocent person

Because by killing someone, you kill all the people who can be born because of him

And by forgiving him, you'd be saving all the people who will be born because of him

Then he gave the story of Cain and Abel as an example

When Cain killed Abel he killed all the people who could've come from him

The story was taken from this book

And the evidence is that in the story of Cain and Abel in the Quran the "Israelis" were mentioned in the middle

Have you ever thought what's the relationship between the Israelis and Cain and Abel?!

You're talking about the story of creation and Cain and Abel

What does the Israelis have to do with any of this?!

The Israelis were mentioned because they're mentioned in that book

Where the advice was meant for the Israelis?

So those who copied that sentence in the Quran translated it and also advised the Israelis

The irony!

Or the story of the people of the cave

That's an old story that was mentioned in Greek legends and has many versions with different details

But it's source was probably a christian under the name of "The seven Sleepers of Ephesus"

In it there were 7 christian men escaped from an emperor named "Decius" and hid in a cave

But the emperor discovered their place then closed the door of the cave on them

So that they could die inside

Those seven kept praying for Jesus so that he could save them

So Jesus made them sleep for 1 year and then woke them up

That story is not Islamic!

Even the story of Youssef which a whole Sura in Quran is named after it

And some believe it's the best story anyone can ever write

That story was mentioned before in the Torah and bible with just a few changes

Meaning it was written before and was written many times

Or the story of Solomon and the King of Sabaa

The same story was mentioned in a Hebrew book titled "The book of Esther"

The same story in the Quran was mentioned there except for a small detail

Instead of the hoopoe that was mentioned in the Quran

The story in the book has a rooster

So it seems whoever translated the book confused the rooster with a Hoopoe

And so on. Take any story in the Quran and look for it's origins

And you'll find that it was mentioned hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before the Quran

You only find it meaningful because it's mentioned in the Quran

But if it wasn't written in the Quran and instead was written in the Torah

and then you read it, you'll laugh at it

-Chapter Seven-

-Is the Quran a good book from a literary point of view-

Now let's look at the Quran from a literary point of view, as a normal book

Let's remove all the enticement and intimidation

"You say that the Quran itself is okay to be criticized?!!"

"This is blasphemy!"

Let's take it as a normal book to be fair while judging it

In fact, the Quran from the literal point of view is a very poor book

For many reasons, like what?

Like the repeated overrated unusual amount of the enticement and intimidation in it

Almost in every page of the book you'll find either..

insults and threatens with death and hell

or promises of different rewards and heaven

Using the enticement and intimidation repeatedly is known to be a helpless way

used by someone who can't convince you to do something

So he has no choice but to threaten or reward you

There's no order in telling events or stories

The Quran, at least compared to the Torah and Bible,

Doesn't have an organized order in telling the stories or events

Many stories are mixed together

And you'll always find a cut or a part missing in almost every story in the Quran

For example in Quran 2:221–242. For seventeen straight verses

these passages discuss women, marriage, and divorce

but suddenly verses 238-239 interrupt the discussion to exhort the Muslims to maintain regular prayers

in war times

Then, just as suddenly, the passage returns to the subject of divorce

Those two intervening verses have nothing to do with what came either before or after

And they distract the reader in unnecessary way

Now apply this to almost every page in the Quran

While reading it you'll always find yourself going from one subject to another and then get back to the first one

And there's no focus in one particular topic

That's not a good way to write that's like collecting parts from other sources and mixing them together.

There's no literary sense in finishing sentences or stories

More than 90% of the sentences end with assonance

And they're only there to add a tone to the sentences

It's like someone copies and pastes a particular few words with assonance

and then puts them in every sentence he doesn't know how to end.

There's too many unnecessary words and verbiage in the Quran

And if we removed it, neither the Quran will be affected

Nor the lives of those who won't read it will be affected

On the contrary, there're things in the Quran if we removed it..

a lot of negativity things in the world will be decreased

Take terrorism as an example, which became a daily thing in our days

Now say "Terrorists don't understand the Quranic texts well"

Or say "They don't represent Islam"

Say what u want, what's important is that these verses that those terrorists use

to kill the innocent

Doesn't benefit anyone, except for the terrorist himself

That means, removing these violent verses is better than keeping it

It's disadvantages are way higher than it's advantages, if there's actually any

The Quran is full of unnecessary repetition

Not only in the words, sentences or even the assonance

But also in the stories

For example, the story of the prophet "Lot" was mentioned 8 times

The story of "Noah" was mentioned 11 times

"Ibrahim" was mentioned 69 times "Pharaoh" was mentioned 74 times

"Mosa" was mentioned 136 times and his story was mentioned 7 times

Why?!

What did we gain from you telling us that Mosa turned his stick into a snake

or split the sea into two or made his hand glow

What did we gain?

Especially when these stories are not only not logical, have no evidence to support them

and were repeated many times in the same book

But because they're copied from other legends and religions that came before Islam itself

And even after they were mentioned all these times no one actually benefited from them

And even if there was a small benefit to gain from them, it doesn't deserve to be mentioned that many times

But not only is there a repetition in words, sentences, assonance and stories

But also in repeating whole topics

Like for example, the prohibition of eating pork. That was repeated 4 times

2 times of them were typical in words!

Why ?! Why do you have to repeat the same command 4 times ?!

Haven't you say it once? and your message was received? then u don't have to say it again.

Didn't the prophet say: "Good brevity makes sense"?

You delivered your message, then u should remove all these repetitions

In short, and like the orientalist payoneer Theodor Noldeke said:

"Muhammad is not in any sense a master of style"

But the most important point to mention about the Quran

Is that it's not a complete book, but many parts are missing from it

Let's mention for example

The Hadiths "In El-Bukhari, Muslim, Muwatta and El-sunan Elkobra"

Which say that there were verses in the Quran about Stoning adulterers

But after Muhammad died and people were busy burying him

There was a chicken or a goat that went and ate the parts which contained those verses

I mean it's funny to think that a goat ate what's supposed to be the most important book for god

And if you were from those who will say that it's one of God's great plans

Okay, then why did he send it from the beginning?

Why did he send it as "revelation" and then after Mohammad died he decided to delete it?

Why did he send it from the beginning?

And if god was really planning to delete it..

Then why didn't he tell Mohammed before his death to take those parts and remove them before he dies?

Why after his death the Quran changes and many verses gets deleted from it?

Omar Ibn Elkhatab (A companion of Mohammed) said himself that the Quran are missing many parts

Among them is the part that talks about the Stoning

And said that we must Stone as God said even after the verses got deleted from the Quran

Because we did stone others when Muhammad was alive

"Omar said, and the Hadith is very correct as I've shown to you"

"God sent Muhammad and sent the Quran to him..

..and a part from what he sent to him was the verse of the stoning..

..and Muhammad did stone and we did stone others after him"

So now i want to understand something

"Sorry, i'm a thinker and i have to know the answer for this"

Now the part that was talking about stoning was lost, right?

Okay, so now should we follow that command that was deleted by god from the Quran?

Like ISIS and like what some sheikhs dream to apply

And like what Omar said?

Or not?

And if we should apply it..

Then why did god delete it?

If god wants us to do something that's in some verses

Why would he delete it?

"God removed the verse itself but the command itself remained"

"Like the stoning verse"

And if for example god felt guilty and noticed that the verse is a little bit barbaric

and he should remove it

Okay.. then why were some people stoned by the hand of Muhammad..

When these verses were in the Quran?

Why should these people get killed

and then god removes the verse and those who come after them won't get stoned?

And not only the stoning verses

Aisha "Muhammad's wife" once said that there were verses in the Quran

that talked about breastfeeding adults!

The topic of breastfeeding adults

The hadith is in the Bukhari, and it's a correct one that was said by Aisha

It means that if a man and a woman wants to be together alone in any room

Then the solution for it to be "Halal" would be for the woman to breastfeed the man 10 times

"What a logical solution to be honest"

So Aisha said that the Quran used to have a verse that talked about breastfeeding the man 10 times

"Aisha said that the Quran used to have verses..

that talked about breastfeeding the man 10 times"

But then god changed his mind and made them 5 not 10 times

"Then god made them 5 times not 10"

But then after Muhammad died the whole verses that contained that part

Were lost.

The same with Sura 33 which Aisha also once said that it used to have 200 verse

But after Muhammad died most of the Sura was lost

Now that Sura have only 73 verse.

And not only some few verses or Suras that were lost, no!

Al-Bayhaqi for example once said that a whole partition of that Quran was lost

And that Sura 33 was as huge as Sura 2

There's also Hadiths that say that there was a Sura in the Quran which was as huge as Sura 9

But it was lost.

That's beside the parts that were deliberately deleted for political reasons

Like when "Othman" showed his people his Quran which he collected and claimed it was complete

Some people rebelled against him because they said he deliberately deleted 2 Suras from it

A sura named "Alwlayah" and another one named "Alnawrain"

I want you to go look for those Suras and compare them with the other Suras in the Quran

You'll realize something

Either those 2 Suras were from the Quran but someone removed them

Or they are nothing but hoax..

But whoever wrote them was a genius because if they were put in the Quran no one would've doubt them

because they've the same style as the rest of the Quran

And that alone contradicts the challenge you always hear that no one can write a Sura like those in the Quran

Thomas Patrick in his book "A dictionary of Islam" said:

"No one really knows how many verses were lost from the Quran but they're many..

Al-Suyuti for example said the number could reach up to 500 verses"

That's like double the Size of the largest Sura in the Quran.. disappeared

All this editing in the Quran with the adding and the deleting of verses

Was enough to let the son of Omar Ibn Alkhattab once say:

"Nobody say that he has the whole Quran..

..How could he when many parts were lost from it?..

..instead, let him say i've what's left from the Quran"

-Chapter Eight-

-The story of collecting the Quran-

The traditional story of how the Quran was collected

Starts with a person named Muhammad

Who went to a cave, and then an angel appeared to him

And said: "From now on you'll be the one who'll save the whole humanity from it's corruption..

..and i'll give u a book which contains the cure for all humanity"

According to the Islamic texts that book was already with God

But all what Gabriel did was just giving it to Mohammad

"Do you really believe that the stories in the book were already written in it before humanity came?"

- Yes, it were in it by the knowledge of god

"Most of them were personal stories related to specific people"

And Of course for some reason he didn't give it to him at once. He kept dictating it to him for over 23 years!

"Especially when it wasn't sent to Muhammad at once.. it was sent over 23 years".

And as expected when do u think it was finished? of course.. right when Muhammad died.

And by then the Quran was finished, right?

Wrong. In fact it wasn't even begun!

But after 20 years of the death of Muhammad

There were "Some" Arab rulers who thought of collecting all these verses into one book

And i'm saying "some" because many other rulers thought it was a heresy to do so

Why? because Muhammad didn't collect them when he was alive, so why would we?

And i'm saying "Collect" because those verses weren't together at all

No. That book was split into two parts..

The first part was written on the bodies of animals, sheep and the leaves of the trees, etc

And the second part was memorized by some people

Now the one who ordered to collect the verses of the Quran and put them into one book

Was someone named Othamn Ibn Affan

After Othamn finished and collected the Quran

He made many copies of them, and then sent them to every Islamic country

And by that time the Quran was finished and it's the one we have now, right?

No, not really

After 50 years from the time he collected it and sent it to every Islamic country..

The process of putting dots on the Quran Started

The process "Started"

And for over 50 years from that time the process of dotting the Quran continued

And after 50 years from the time of collecting the Quran and sending it to every Islamic country

The process of putting punctuation marks and adding extra letters started

Like the letter ء

And of course the story ends here saying that the Quran from that moment till now

Hasn't been changed or altered at all

Not in any letter, dot or punctuation mark

And no one should doubt anything in it.

Of course this complected story alone should make any rational person

doubt the whole story about collecting the Quran

However, the real story of collecting the Quran is much more complicated than this

That story is full of gabs. Like what?

Like when Othan wanted to collect his Quran he burned two things

1- The many versions of the Quran that were made by others claiming it's the real Quran

"Now Othman collected the Other versions of the Quran..

..after he did so..

..he said burn any other version other than mine"

And burned the parts that were supposedly written in the time of Muhammad

"Other companions didn't think this's right..

..and it's a matter of opinion, Othman thought it's the right thing to do"

So Othman burned the sources

Like the animal skins and tree leaves that people wrote some parts of the Quran on it

And that alone should make anyone doubt the intentions of Othman

Why did you have to burn the sources?

The supposedly priceless sources that you took your version of the Quran from

The sources that were written at the time of Muhammad

Those sources are considered your best evidence, in fact they're the only evidence..

to prove that the old Quran is as same as the new one.

Why did u have to delete those sources?

Unless you know that your version of the Quran is different from the sources u burned

Now if the Quran was so important and many copies of it were sent to different countries

And everybody knew it, like some hadiths claim

We'd have at least found non Islamic sources or foreign historians from the countries Arabs invaded

Wrote about the Quran or at least mentioned it's name

But that's the opposite of what happened to the Quran

Nobody ever mentioned even the word Quran in any historical record till the beginning of the 8th century

The first mention of the word Quran from a non Arabic source was in the year 710

Meaning after at least 80 years from the time in which the Quran was supposedly completed

And after 60 years from the time in which the Quran was supposedly collected and sent to many countries

and everybody knew about it

That makes no sense

Because the Arab rulers invaded many countries in these 60 years

If they invaded those countries to invite them to their new religion

while holding the Quran in their hands, etc

then how's it possible that not a single historian or even a normal person mentioned the word Quran

even once in his books?

It's like the Quran wasn't even there

But not only is there no mention of the Quran

There's also no mention of a religion named "Islam", or even the word "Muslims"

for over 70 years from the time Muhammad died

Now the historical evidences we have say that the Quran was collected by The Umayyad caliph

"Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan" and his assistant "Al hajjaj ibn yusuf al thaqafi"

"Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan" once said "I fear to die in Ramadan..

..because i was born in that month, i was weaned in it and i collected the Quran in it"

So Abdel Malik admitted to have collected the Quran in the month of Ramadan

Now if Othman really collected the Quran before him

then why would some Muslim leader like Abd al-Malik

collect it after at least 40 years since Othman collected it

Why and how did he collect it again after it was supposed to be already collected

and was in every Muslim country

and everyone knew about it?

One from two scenarios happened,

Either the Quran wasn't collected from the beginning

Or it was but Abdel Malik didn't like it

Maybe he needed to change something in it

Like forbidding something under the name of God, or making something that was forbidden, legal

And like the story of Othman

Al Hajjaj (Abdel Malek's assistant) ordered every other version of the Quran to be burned

And again, like the story of Othman,

He made copies from his Quran and sent them to every Islamic country

Even this is mentioned in the Islamic books

When someone came to "Anas Ibn Malik"

Asking him: "Where's the version of Quran Othman is supposed to have collected?"

He said, "it disappeared"!

That means that Abdel Malik burned the Quran of Othman to make a whole new Quran for him

That means that the new Quran which Abdel Malik made

is different from the version of the Quran Othman made

The version which is itself doutable because it was made after more than 20 years after Moh.'s death

and many things were lost from it

many verses, Suras and whole chapters disappeared

and many political chapters were deliberately deleted

-Chapter Nine-

-Is the version of the Quran Abdel Malek made, the same as the one we have today?-

But the question now is..

Is the version of the Quran Abdel Malek made, the same as the one we have today?

I mean, is the version Abdel Malek made

the last version of the Quran that has been edited?

or did this too changed?

To be able to answer that question

We must have a copy of the Quran that dates back to Abdel Malek's era

to be able to compare it to the Quran we have now

to see if something changed from it or not

Luckily for us we have one of the oldest manuscripts of the Quran

which dates back to after the era of Abdel Malek Ibn Marawan

"We did already found a few manuscripts that dates back to before Abdel Malek's era"

It's name was the "Sana'a Manuscripts"

And we did find signs of alteration in it

But as we said, it's okay, we'll forget about all the old versions that have been altered

and focus on the version that was collected by Abdel Malik and his assistant Al Hajjaj

These new manuscripts contains roughly 2/3 of the Quran

And dates back to over 100 years after the death of Muhammad

A whole century

These manuscripts are in the British library one of the largest libraries in the world

So you can log in their site and see them by yourself

and compare them with the Quran we have today just to make sure of every information i'll say now

The first thing you'll notice is that this Qurant doesn't have any punctuation marks

even the dotting is not complete

That means that even after 1 century from the death of Muhammad

The Quran didn't have neither dots nor any punctuation marks

So it wasn't complete by then

The second thing you'll notice is that many verses aren't in it but exist in the Quran we have today

And in it many verses that aren't in the Quran we have today

For example if you looked at Sura 8 in this old Manuscript

You'll find that it has 77 verse

Sura 8 in the Quran we have today

has only 75 verse

that means there're 2 verses that were lost

Sura 9 in this old Manuscript has 130 verses

Sura 9 in the Quran we have today has only 129 verse

That means there's 1 missing verse

Sura 11 in this old Manuscript has 122 verses

Sura 11 in the Quran we have today has 123 verse

That means 1 verse has been added

Sura 20 in this old Manuscript has 140 verses

In the Quran we have today it has 135 verse

Meaning there's 5 verses have been removed

Sura 21 in this old Manuscript has 111 verses

In the Quran we have today it has 112 verse

Sura 22 in this old Manuscript has 74 verses

In the Quran we have today it has 78 verse

That means 4 verses have been added

Sura 26 in this Manuscript had the name "Taa Sen Elshoaraa" not Just "Elshoaraa" like today

Sura 27 in this Manuscript had the name "Taa Sen Elnaml" not just "Elnaml" like today

And it had 94 verses.. not 93 like the one in the Quran we have today

And it's not just about some altered or deleted verses

If we wanted to talk about how many alterations whether in the letters, words or sentences

Trust me we'll take forever

What's important is that you've got the idea

Until the time of the Abbasids

The Quran wasn't complete yet

And it's not the one we have today.

Do I Need to Report My Accident to My Insurance if it Wasn't My Fault? | Collins, Collins, & Ray - Duration: 1:41.

We all pay for insurance, it's required under the law.

And it's true that of the other driver hits you and causes you injury and damages, their

insurance company should be providing the payment.

There are a couple things about this, though, a lot of us don't think about a whole lot.

We in our position, of course, see this regularly and let me share a couple things about that

with you.

One, of course you report this to your own insurance company.

One reason being is you may have medical payments covered under your own insurance policy that

will pay directly to your medical care provider in a fixed amount, usually around five thousand

dollars without any indication of liability or fault, that's simply there, it's a benefit

that you pay for, definitely call and get the benefit of that.

Now your insurance company would do its best to try and recover those payments against

the other driver's insurance company.

So in truth, the liability and responsibility for that payment will rest on the other driver.

But it's important that you document it with your own insurance company to make sure that

you're getting the benefit of your policy.

The next thing is that your own insurance company will need the benefit of your good

reporting so they can make sure and document the claim on your behalf.

That's why you have insurance.

Make no mistake about it, every accident claim is an essence in injury claim involving insurance

company.

Call them soon.

In fact, many people call attorneys and then call their insurance company, you can make

that choice.

We often can help people even in dealing with their own insurance company because they may

have other coverage that applies as well.

There's a Disco Ball in Space! Yay? - Duration: 3:49.

Hey Space Friends! This week I'm talking about disco balls in space! It's not a

spacetime warp or some weird balls sent over to us from a mirror universe but

instead it's a 65 panel highly reflective ball that was sent into space

by a commercial space company. That company is Rocket Lab with a launch site

in New Zealand and they're trying to make space exploration more accessible

or at least more accessible for more satellite launches. The three foot wide

carbon ball is called the Humanity Star and it was developed by Rocket Lab's

founder Peter Beck in hopes that it would inspire humanity to think about

our fragile place in the universe. But this admittedly seems at odds with

the choice of form and lack of function of the Humanity Star itself. Peter Beck

himself actually admits that the inspiration for the Humanity Star didn't

come from our pale blue dot but actually came from Iridium flares, the bright

flashes of light that human-made satellites make as they orbit the Earth

and the Sun bounces off of them. That is causing some annoyance for astronomers

that already have their observations sometimes obscured by passing satellites

that are unintentionally strobe lights. There's also the fact that we have an

incredibly inspiring human-made thing in our night sky already: the International

Space Station which regularly houses astronauts in it. It's incredible that

you can see it with your naked eye in a city or out in the country or wherever

and if you haven't done it yet I definitely recommend it. I didn't used to

know that you could actually see the International Space Station with your

naked eye and you totally can. There are endless apps and websites out there that

will help you track down where it will appear and what times it will appear and

if you haven't done it yet please definitely try it. Essentially all this

is to say is that putting a physical <blink tag> in space leaves a lot to be

desired. Art just like science should be

exploratory. If you're interested in art in space I did an entire video about

art satellites that you should definitely check out, including my

personal fave, ArtSat-2, which was a 3D printed sculpture which was sent into

deep space that actually generated poetry about its experience in deep

space which is incredibly cool. I also dive into Planet Lab's satellites, one of

which actually launched on this Rocket Lab rocket, but the cool thing about

Planet Labs is that they have an entire artist-in-residence program where they

actually employ full-time professional artists to do awesome

things with their satellites. As a one-off the Humanity Star is probably

fine. This disco is dead in about nine months, by which I mean the Humanity Star

itself is going to burn up in the atmosphere in nine months so it's not

creating more space junk which is good. But as a trend there's cause for concern

because we are living in the era of billionaires sending their cars into

space for lulz and commercial companies increasingly making entire areas of the

sky inaccessible to radio telescopes due to their transmissions. There's also

other people who are looking to create even more reflective surfaces in space

which could be a real problem for any observations with optical telescopes.

Overall I think it's fabulous to experiment and try new things in space

and I think that's definitely what's needed but in their quest to make space

more accessible I hope a lot of these commercial companies actually consider

how they might be actually making space inaccessible for others in their quest.

And so in that way, please do experiment in space but also be considerate of

others as you're exploring our universe. The Humanity Star definitely achieved

its goal of making us think about all of our fragile places in the universe but

probably not as it originally intended to. That's it for me this week Space

Friends! Leave a comment this week with what sort of artwork you would send into

space if you had been given the chance and remember to subscribe on YouTube and

join Patreon and I'll see you next time.

Do I Have to Turn Over My Medical Records in an Accident Case? | Collins, Collins, & Ray, P.A. - Duration: 0:47.

Do I have to turn over my medical records in an accident case?

This is a very common question that we get.

The short answer is, "Yes."

A personal injury claim is just that, it's personal.

And what that means is the way that this accident affected you personally is the main topic

of discussion when determining how to value your claim and pay it.

Therefore, under the law, if you are presenting a claim like this, the other side is entitled

to access to your medical records.

But that should help you.

Those people who are truly injured, that have suffered truly life-altering injuries, these

things are well documented in your medical records more than any other place.

Stay Focused S2 Ep4: How to Create Wealth Through Real Estate - Duration: 2:30.

All right! Welcome back everybody to Stay Focused, our weekly video blog. I'm

Randal Engelmann. I'm Erik Gould. I just wanted to chat

with you guys just for a few moments today about creating wealth through real

estate. How to create wealth through real estate? It sounds like we're gonna come

up with some really big secrets. Right?

No. It's pretty basic.

Yeah, it's pretty basic indeed. Basically, to give you the boring

statistics to begin with, the average net worth of a homeowner in the

United States today is $231,400.

It's a fairly significant amount of net worth. Yeah, that's a nice chunk of

change versus the average net worth of a renter is only $5400.

That's quite a bit of a difference. Yeah.

That's forty five times greater wealth a homeowner has on average than a renter.

You want to create some wealth in your life: buy a home. Yeah, we could say,

personally, that has been one of our driving forces when we bought our first

home quite a few years ago. It's quite scary. Yeah. But it was also life-changing

in many ways and a big help for us and changing our perspective around wealth.

And for many of our friends and family and our clients that we work with, we see

how that that really helps them and change them. Yeah, that was a huge shift

for us and that was part of the reason that both Erik and I entered into real

estate was buying our first home it made a difference for us and we really

influenced our friends to make similar purchases of multi-family homes or what

they could afford. And it doesn't take a lot of money to get into real estate

believe it or not. Yep. You don't need 20% down to make a down payment.

You don't need to have a 780 credit score.

There are certainly programs available for those that have less down and lower

credit scores. Might it also be a good idea for people that already have a

home to maybe make an investment in a multi-family property or rental property?

Yeah. Again it's a great generator of wealth. Yeah. So we can help

you out taking those steps. Feel free to give us a call, drop us a line here, make

a comment below. We'd love to hear from you! Thanks for watching today.

Any questions about that let us know and until next time don't forget to like us

on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube channel and Stay Tuned and Stay Focused.

Blah, Blah, blah.

And we've already done it. I hope you were shooting.

Episode 5 Gather and Glean: Publicity Mistakes - Duration: 8:38.

Background music playing

Welcome to the fifth episode of Gather and Glean, where women's ministry leaders

gather and glean tips to help them better serve the women in their church and in their community.

Today we're going to be talking about publicity mistakes

and I'm going to be sharing the top three publicity mistakes I see

ministries makes - many of which I'm guilty myself!

We're also going to take an in-depth look at a Valentine icebreaker game.

We're going to review a great tool that will help you with your graphics and publicity.

I'm going to share with you the one thing you should always do when you're publicizing an event.

And then I've got a little bit of show-and-tell.

Today's icebreaker game is all about Valentine's Day!

Real quick, if you hop on over to the website you'll see.

Hover over the ice breakers, slide down to Valentine's and we're gonna scroll just a little bit.

Today we're gonna focus on the Heart to Heart icebreaker game.

Have you ever made one of those connections with somebody that you meet?

You know, a heart to heart connection, where you instantly bond over trivial stuff.

Well that's what this game is going to try and provide for your women.

It's gonna help bring out those connections that they have - those shared experiences - those shared likes.

Perfect for a group of eight or more, it only takes about 15 minutes to play.

You'll see where that red is, you just click on that and what pops open is the free PDF.

All you need to do is print this sheet off and you'll be ready to go!

So you're going to give your ladies directions

to connect and collect one signature per line from those in the room who can say:

That they have watched the movie Sleepless in Seattle.

Decorate their home for Valentine's Day. Can recite John 3:16.

Traveled outside of the country for their honeymoon - and more.

Quick, fun, ready-to-go icebreaker game that your ladies will absolutely love!

Today I'm focusing in on three publicity mistakes that I see teams make all the time.

I admit, we've made them ourselves many, many times!

So the first mistake is not putting all the crucial details on there.

Missing info is so important! Think about your target woman - the one who's never been there before

and is not going to know where to go or what the routine is.

So even if it's an event that you hold monthly or weekly, make sure you've got those critical

when, where, ,why, what, how questions answered in your piece of publicity.

The second publicity mistake is not sending out the publicity early enough.

I recommend that you send your publicity out at least three weeks in advance for smaller events.

And big events, like a retreat or something, you're going to want to send those - especially depending on the cost - out months in advance.

And that partners with our third publicity mistake -

not sending those pieces of publicity out often enough.

You want to send them out on a regular basis. Your women are going to need to see those

publicity pieces repeatedly - over and over and over again - before they remember,

"Oh yeah, we've got operation sandwich coming up this Friday."

We all need reminders. Don't be afraid of over-publicizing an event. It's almost impossible to do that.

There are lots of other publicity mistakes that we could discuss and

I'm going to link to some posts that are going to help make sure you don't miss a

single detail of the publicity that you're sending out for your next event.

In today's question and answer session we're going to talk about -

what's the best way to publicize an event? The one publicity method that I recommend you

always use - every single time with every single event - is email.

Your women are used to getting informational emails. Whether it's from you, the catalogs they

subscribe to, or any other organization. Make sure you give great details in the emails that you send out.

Yes, make sure you also include it in the bulletin, on the website, save-the-date cards, at Bible study, and in Bible study announcements.

Hit all those other areas, but always always make sure you send an email out.

It's going to give your women all the information they need right at

their fingertips, especially if they carry it on their phones.

They're going to be able to go back and refer to it. With a lot of the other publicity methods we use

they're not going to have instant access to it and they're not going to be able to refer to them easily.

My recommendation this week is publicity-related.

One of my favorite tools for creating publicity is PicMonkey.

I will tell you it used to be free, but it's not anymore.

There's a small monthly fee. I believe right now it's $5.99 per month if you purchase it annually.

But I feel like it's totally worth it. Maybe, perhaps, even your women's ministry budget can cover that cost.

So I'm going to take you inside my account just so you get a glimpse of how this all works.

Let me take you inside. Here we go!

So I'm going to actually go inside the hub which saves things online on the PicMonkey - site up in the cloud.

You can see some of the different graphics and whatnot I've created.

But what I want to show you that is really cool is I can go back and edit those things that I've already created.

So when I create a new post for a new Question of the Day on Facebook, I just go in here and I retype it.

You can edit photos, you can create graphics, you can do a lot of really really cool things.

It's not all that difficult to learn.

You could create logos, you could create graphics you, could create memes for posting to your Facebook group.

One of the things I did when we were in Kentucky

was to create this poster for our Bouquet of Tables event.

That quilted piece is a collage and you can make collages in PicMonkey.

We sent these off to Sam's and printed them as a photo. I think they were like maybe 11 by 17, or so.

They were bigger than a regular sheet of paper. They may even have been bigger than that.

Those were the signs that we hung up. Technically they were photos

that we hung all over our church advertising that event.

I just wanted to show you a good example of things that you can do and make in PicMonkey.

Everything that I post on the Women's Ministry Toolbox Facebook page,

everything I can think of, was made in PicMonkey.

So that is my recommendation for you if you are looking for a great resource for publicity.

I want to actually share a really neat publicity idea with you.

This is something that I received at the church we've just recently started going to.

I love that it's not just a plain card but there's a pencil attached to it. How cool is that?

A few Sundays ago women were standing with baskets as we exited the worship center

and handed one of these to each woman who exited.

I love publicity that catches your attention and gives you a tiny little gift.

The neat thing - when I went to the actual event - those same pencils are ones that they used in their decor

and ones that they gave us to use as we worked on writing our stories.

So think outside the box!

Consider what could you pair with an announcement for your next event.

I've done some really cute things with candy in the past.

Like we're "bursting with excitement over our women's ministry fellowship that's coming up on June 8th."

You could attach mints - "you were mint to come to the women's ministry retreat."

You'll find all kinds of ideas on Pinterest for things like that.

Get creative! It will catch your woman's attention and it will help them remember the event that's coming up.

#CareerTipTuesday - How To Network Like A BAWS To Land That Dream Job - Duration: 2:29.

Welcome to Career Tip Tuesday

My name is Peter Lane.

I'm here at RED Academy

I'm the General Manager here.

And I created the PPD program,

which is the Personal and Professional Development Program

So it's not just enough to learn Digital Marketing, Web Development

UI or UX Design.

You actually have to learn skills to help you get placed in those jobs.

To greatest part of my day is hearing from students in our program

who have gone out and landed that dream job.

That's what I'm here to help you do.

So, first things first, traditional networking is terrifying

I'm going to talk a little bit about how most people network

and I'm going to tell you how you should be thinking about it differently.

So, first of all, it is terribly scary.

I don't know about you, but I've been a lot of networking events

And I go out, and people are scary

even for an extrovert like me.

I end up going with a friend of mine.

I don't talk to anybody.

which completely destroys the whole point of networking

It's also very transactional.

You go out there and it's all about me.

It's all about me. it's all about me.

which is the wrong way to think about it.

And lastly, it's unqualified.

You have no idea who you're going to talk to there.

So you just get into a room. There's a hundred people.

You have no idea. You just wasted four hours of your time.

Instead you can be doing something more effective.

I want you to kind of flip the script.

I want you to start thinking about being effective.

So instead of thinking transactional

I want you think about building relationships with these people.

There's a couple of things.

Networking is not easy.

Number two, it's a life-long process.

I often see my students, once they get their job

They completely stop their networking.

They want to move on or they get stuck in their job.

And they have no where else to go.

This is something you should be focusing on everyday of your life.

And last but not least, it's about relationships.

It's not transactional

This is the most important thing that I always coach my students.

You don't ask someone to get married after the first date.

Why are you asking people for a job after one interivew?

These are my three things I want you to keep in mind

as you're going out to networking.

Super important. There's a lot more things to talk about.

And good luck out there.

Pay Per Click and When You Should Get a Paid Media Campaign | Clix - Duration: 1:33.

Hi, my name is Jared and I'm a senior account manager at Clix.

A lot of times when I'm talking with prospects or new clients, the question comes up, "When

is a good time to start a pay-per-click advertising campaign?"

To answer that question, we have to take a step back; Is you website ready for us to

start paying to drive traffic to it?

Do you have an effective sales funnel set up?

Are all of your services represented?

Do you have a system in place that's ready and capable of handling those incoming leads?

If the answer is no, you're not ready.

Paying sometimes 2, 3, 10, 20, 50 dollars a click can add up very quickly.

And that traffic is just normal people; we're paying to place an add at the top of the search

engine results.

When people click on that and they come to a website that's incomplete, broken, or lackluster,

it's not going to change anything.

The people will probably just bounce or leave like they would if they came via organic search

engine results or any other type of advertising.

It's no magic bullet.

So if you think you want to start a pay-per-click advertising campaign, take that step back

and make sure that everything is ready to go.

We like to say, "Is the table set?

Is the turkey done?

Is the silverware polished?

Are you really ready to invite these guests into your house, have them sit down and make

a judgement about you and your business?

If not, go ahead, take a step back, collect yourself.

Meet with your digital agency and make sure that it's time for you to start this.

If you have any questions, reach out out me: 314-222-2582.

Or: help@clix.co.

I'd be happy to answer your questions and help you navigate whatever problems you're

having right now.

If you could go back what would you tell yourself? - Duration: 0:58.

If there was one thing that you've learned over the years that you could go back and tell yourself

What would it be?

It's just hair

It's just hair?

If I would have known

that I was going to look like this

I wouldn't have worried about the parts and you know whatever

I would have just done everything!

It's just hair.

Christine you know more than you think you know.

And if you would just trust yourself

just that that much more

you got this

I'd probably just say

don't study philosophy

Take a deep breath

don't take everthing so seriously

don't take everything so personally

I think that's probably what I'd tell myself

Find some good mentors

Is to follow your passion.

I would go back

and I'd be a little bit more diligent

in picking people and realize

that I couldn't treat them like a commodity

You have got to be passionate

about what you are selling

What Medical Records Should I Provide After an Accident? | Collins, Collins, & Ray, P.A. - Duration: 0:42.

Can I just turn over the medical records that I believe are relevant?

Short answer: "Probably not."

The way that these claims are evaluated by the insurance companies, their goal is to

try to pay the least amount of money that they can pay on a claim.

One way that they often can discount a claim is by saying that, "This injury that you suffered

in an accident did not happen from the accident.

In fact, it was something that you had before, that this accident is of no consequence to

that."

Of course, people that have been in accidents, they know themselves, that's not the case.

Treat Your Resume As A Living Document - Duration: 2:01.

Throughout your working career you continue to gain knowledge, grow in experience and

skills as you move from one job to the next.

Despite this fact, many employees do not update their resumes, while in their current role

to match their current abilities.

Instead they choose to update their resume when they make a major career change or decide

to search for a new job.

We have a better suggestion….keep your resume current while in your current role...and here

is why.

You are continually learning new things in your professional life...your resume should

be used to keep track of and express those new skills and experiences.

The best time to accurately capture your current skills...will always be right now!

By updating your resume with newly added responsibilities, achievements or skill sets while in your current

role, your resume will always reflect your current credentials.

After all hiring managers are screening applicants based on skills and experiences...so the best

way to stay current with new potential career opportunities is to have your resume current

and passively working, while in your current role...This will attract recruiters and hiring

managers to your profile and make it easier to open a dialogue about potential opportunities.

The payoff for treating your resume as a living document that receives regular and current

updates is not just better results during your job search… you also maintain a level

of stealth during career transition periods.

Because you have been routinely updating your resume and LinkedIn profile, no flags or suspicions

are raised during your active job search.

By routinely updating your resume and LinkedIn profile, all employment transitions occur

in stealth mode.

You won't broadcast your interest in a career change to your current employer this way.

Make this best practices tip, one of your professional habits...and be sure to use our

tool to scan and optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile against job descriptions

before applying.

My goals for 2018 + SUBTITLES [LET'S TALK] - Duration: 6:21.

Am I focussed?

I'm really overexposed!

I think I'm just going to sit on the floor.

Is that weird, if I do that?

I can't focus.. Oh!

Am I focussed now?

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new video on Equine Motions!

This time a talk video.

And in this talk video I will talk about what I want to achieve in 2018. And what my goals are for this year!

Number one: Something I really want to do in 2018.

I want to upload more on Equine Motions!

I want to show you guys so much more.

I need to film more. Every time I think: "No this is crap" if I film.

My expectations are just really high. I want to upload a high quality video.

And sometimes that's just not possible, because I film alone. You need someone who wants to film for you.

I'm always alone in the stables since they stand at home. I've no more people around.

I really love it but with filming I miss company.

So that's my number one goal.

Upload more!

Number two is working more with Yakari in tricktraining and liberty.

Some new exercises.

Number three is making Yakari boomproof in traffic.

We already walked outside, faced traffic but I want to make a beachride with him.

If this happends this year I don't know but I want to make a start with it.

Number four is something I'm going to do!

I'm really excited about this!

Last year I also particepated.

In october I'm going to Nalanta camp again. From Jesse & Eva.

I'm so excited!

Last year I learned so much, and met so many nice people.

Last year I enjoyed it so much.

I figured out some new stuff in tricktraining.

And it was the first holiday ever with my horse.

So for me the first time staying on unfamilair territory. I slept there for two nights with Topshot.

It was amazing!!

Last year I went with Topshot and this year I will go with Yakari.

So a new adventure a head.

So now I can prepare him for october.

Number five is something for at home. We want a new paddock. My dad arranges everything.

But that's on my wishlist for 1 year now.

Because I start to notice that I need more space for the horses to stand outside.

When the weather is horrible I want them to come outside.

It's just nice to have space were you can put them outside. Without worrying that the field is to wet.

Now they stand in the riding area. But you notice that the riding area needs more attention.

I don't care about my riding area, the horses need to come outside. They need to stretch their legs.

(Ian is scratching his butt) Ian?

That the riding area needs more attention..

The horses just need to come outside!

That the most important thing for them.

But the rain is not working with me, it's been 3 weeks since everything was dry.

So I need to make a decision. Now in the stables or in the summer.

Because if I put them on the field right now they will destory it because it's to wet.

So that's why we want to make a paddock for them!

And my father is arranging everything and making it happen.

So I hope on a brand new paddock for next years winter.

I have one more aim! And it's a big one.

It's my biggest dream with the horses, I dream about it my whole life since I know it's possible.

Together with Yakari or one of my other horses..

I want to give a show, clinic or demo.

Horse Event is my biggest aim.

So that they contact me if I want to perform.

That's pure magic to me.

I want that so so so bad!

Inspiring people with your work.

In the horse world everything is already done.

But in my opinion everyone thinks about a horse differently.

So everyone can teach something to an other.

For an example, I ride differently then my neighbor next door.

Nothing wrong with that. But we can learn from eachother!

But the problem is that some people are not that openminded.

And they think they're the best.

I try let..

.. myself inspire a lot of people.

I won't do something if I feel uncomfortable with it. Then I will not do it.

But Horse Event is my biggest dream.

To give a show on Horse Event. And to invite my whole family!

To a show I will give!

That's something I want to do so bad.

Do you have some ideas for me, for a talk video or music video? Let me know in the comments. I love to read that!

Sometimes I don't have inspiration for a new video..

Just..

let me know. You only make me happy if you do.

That's it guys!

VO B.O.S.S. - Episode 30: Trolls - Duration: 18:33.

VO: Today voiceover talent is more than just a pretty voice. Today's voiceover

talent has to be a boss. A VO B.O.S.S. Set

yourself up with business owner's strategies and success. With your host, Anne Ganguzza.

Along with some of the strongest voices in our industry. Rock your business.

Like a boss. A VO B.O.S.S.

Anne: Welcome, Everybody, to the VO B.O.S.S. Podcast. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza,

along with my beautiful co-host, Gabby Nistico. Hi, Gabby. Gabby: Hello, Anne.

Anne: You know, Gabby, the other day I had a very interesting comment

on one of my Facebook posts, and it seemed to come out--seemed to come

from nowhere, out of left field, and it was so

hum, how should I say? Upsetting? Gabby: Ohhh. Anne: And I think the only way that I could

classify this type of a comment, on a thread, would be

trolling. Trolling! Gabby: [Deep whisper] Ohhhh. Trolls. Anne: Have you had an experience

with trolls? Gabby: [Mock laugh] Have I had experience with trolls? Let's see,

the ones that live under the bridge or the-- Anne: Yeah. Gabby:--one's that live all over social media?

Both. Anne: [Sing-song] Trolling. You know. Gabby: Yeah.

Anne: I don't know, there's a whole psychology, Gabby. I mean, we could talk about the psychology of trolling and why people do

it. But trolling essentially, guys, for anybody who's not familiar with that term,

is... Gabby? Gabby: It's bullying! Anne: Yeah.

Gabby: I mean, it's really what it is. It's a form-- Anne: Mm-hmm. Gabby:--of online bullying, and it's a way for

people to...in a slightly removed,

somewhat anonymous fashion, start

lots of sh--[beep] on the internet, and potentially

do everything from ruining someone's day and their mood, if you let it of course,

to being very condensing, and being very mean, and,

I mean, really there's so many different levels of this process, but

in a sense, anytime someone just kind of comes out of left field on a social

platform and takes it upon themselves to be

very critical without that criticism having any

constructiveness about it-- Anne: Or validness, yeah. Gabby: Yeah, or

yeah, or validity, or-- Anne: Yeah. Gabby:--really anything other than just a mean

spirited opinion. [Soft laugh] You have a troll on your hands. [Anne] [Scoff]

Anne: First of all, you don't even know that it's a troll sometimes. You know what I mean? And you're like, "Oh

well, that's odd." And sometimes it may start off being very timid,

but then it might just escalate very quickly into--you know the first time

I had it happen it was, oh my gosh, it escalated out of control. Post,

after post, after post, you know, calling me--actually, and I'll tell you what it was about, somebody was

calling me a fraud, selling my vocal throat spray. Talking about, "Oh

the FDA was gonna crack down--" They had called the police on me. You know, by-- Gabby: Oh my God.

Anne:--that time, when it got to that level and it was posting all over my groups

and it was coming from a particular person, which I couldn't validate. And, I think

we need to talk about that. On Facebook, like I don't even know who this person was,

and there's no information on them. But it was so upsetting, because

I didn't even know how to stop it. I kept tryin' to delete the post, and then you're like, "Oh my gosh, how

do I block this person?" It was really, it was traumatic. Gabby: So I think for voice actors

the thing to understand first and foremost is the more

you put yourself out there, the more you promote, the more active you

are on social media, the more you open yourself up-- Anne: Yup.

Gabby:--to these types of individuals. So the first time, or the first

couple of times, it happens it can be really, really

upsetting. Anne: Ye--Absolutely. Gabby: It's emotional, it--

Anne: Mm-hmm. Gabby: And so a lot of things happen very rapidly that we wanna help you

kind of navigate and be prepared for. Anne: Yeah. Gabby: Especially if this has never happened

to you. The first is shut down your emotions. Do not allow yourself to become-- Anne: Yeah.

Gabby:--reactionary. Because becoming reactionary is typically exactly what these individuals want.

Anne: Well, yeah. Absolutely. Gabby: Yeah. And it creates a situation that

then rapidly spins out of control and becomes child-like, and that's where you get into

name calling and it all just goes to hell. Anne: Right. And you don't want that to reflect badly you.

That's number one. That's why you wanna leave your emotions out of it and try to understand

that it is a troll. And, when that happens, if you start to feel yourself getting emotional and

out of control a really good thing to do is to, maybe, call someone. Gabby: Mm-hmm.

Anne: And let them talk you down off the cliff, the proverbial cliff, so to speak, because you might very

well wanna just be so angry and respond. But I think, for me, it's helped for me to

either text somebody or call somebody and say, "Oh my God, did you see this post!" or-- Gabby: Mm-hmm.

Anne:--"Help me. What's going on?" Because, sometimes, when you're not recognizing that it's a troll, they will.

Gabby: Well, there's two sides to that coin, too. Anne: Mm-hmm. Gabby: So there's the

reactionary defensive side that you're talking about, where,

yes, I mean you initially go on the defensive and go, "Oh my God, what the hell is going on here?"

And, like you said, a friend, a colleague, can help you to sort of see the situation

with a little more clarity. Anne: Yeah. Gabby: But there's another. And it's the uglier

side to this, to which I say trolls are bullies. It's the

emotional side that causes really negative, depressive, type

symptoms, or causes someone to kind of

go within and-- Anne: Yeah. Gabby:--become sort of devastated. Equally

important to have a buddy system. Equally important. And I've had to do that. I've had to do it

with Anne, as a matter of fact.-- Anne: Yep. Gabby:--I've called you up and gone, "Um, I

don't know what's going on here, but I'm really, really upset and I feel horrible."

Anne: Yeah. Gabby: And I feel bad about me, and you need

someone to help you in that moment-- Anne: Oh you do. Absolutely. Gabby:--to give you perspective, and go, "No,

this is not you, this not a-- Anne: It's a troll. Gabby:--reflection of you and you're awesome!"

Anne: Yeah. Gabby: And don't allow this to play games on your psyche.

Anne: There are times when sometimes it becomes so out of control that you need to block that person.--

Gabby: Mm-hmm. Anne:--Or report that person to the authorities. And

before that actually happens, because sometimes that's not easy. Like we don't, again, it's something we don't do everyday.

So, it's like, "Oh gosh. How do I report, how do I stop, how do I block? I don't know technically

how to do this." So in the mean time the posts continue, and so you do need that

support, that extra support of your friend, your colleague. And, I'm gonna tell ya, a lot of times your friends or

colleaguesonline will come to help you-- Gabby: Yes. Anne:--or come to your defense.

And that's always a nice thing to see. Because sometimes it could turn, you know, into

something good for you. But in the mean time, while that person is

recklessly, you know, out of control with, like, left field comments,

you know, your online buddies can also try to help sway it too. Gabby: Well, I think what's

interesting is anytime you have a situation

where the community can come to your aide, allow them

to, and back out of the conversation. Anne: Yeah. Yeah. Gabby: The more you

retreat and allow others to sort of-- Anne: Take over for you.

Gabby: Yeah, take over for you. The more it kind of vindicates you.

I mean, it definitely allows you to not

make a mistake you can't take back and then escalate the situation, and it

gives it outside perspective as to what exactly might be going on.

So anytime I've had a troll situation that's what I do. I literally retreat and I let the community take over.

Anne: And then-- Gabby:--And I've been fortunate enough to have folks come to my defense.

Anne: Yeah. Ultimately, it will make the troll look for who they--

Gabby: Oh, foolish! Yeah. Anne: Yeah foolish, you know, and to be the jerk that they are

for the most part. And then during that time when you're retreating that's when you can find

out steps that you may want to take, in terms of

either blocking the user or reporting the user, if that's the case.

Anne: A lot of times these people will create fake accounts. You know, so... Gabby: Yeah. I think--

I think block is definitely an essential tool, but-- Anne: Yeah. Gabby:--Anne, just out of curiosity,

because I don't know the answer to this even, is there an official way

to report someone? On some of the various socials? Is there a protocol?

How does that even work? Anne: On Facebook there is definitely a way. Actually on every social

platform there is a way to report and block. It's just not easy to find. You know, for-- Gabby: Mm-hmm.

Anne:--example, Facebook, if you've ever tried to contact technical support for Facebook, or

help, you know, if you have a problem with, I don't know, anything. With, and you know,

your post isn't going through, your video's not uploading, you're not verified, whatever it is just trying to get

in touch with them in general is difficult.-- Gabby: Yeah. Anne:--But there is always, if you

delve deep into the Facebook there's a way to block user. Usually on

the comment or the post there's little--in Facebook there's three buttons

where you can find out more options. And those options right away could be

to block the user. Sometimes blocking is not always the best

the best thing to do right away, because then it might still continue but you're blocking them so you can't

see what they're doing. So, it's kind of a weird, you know, what came-- Gabby: Well, but at the same--

Anne:--first. Gabby:--time, sometimes too, I mean, I know Jon Bailey who's a

really well known voice actor, Honest Trailers, very illustrious

career. You know, Jon has been very active on social media since day one.-- Anne: Yeah.

Gabby:--He's been all over YouTube since day one, and he

probably has the most extensive database of troll stories--

Anne: Yeah, for sure. [Laughing] Gabby:--of any of us. Anne: Well, you can't say you made it unless

you've been trolled. That's--there's your-- Gabby: Right. And, he, you know, Jon really,

I think, handles it with a bit of graces and a sense of humor and so-- Anne: Yeah.

Gabby:--you know, take a little inspiration from that. Definitely try to have a sense of humor

about these things. I think it really helps. Social media managers

at large corporations, as well, this is their job. This is what they have to contend

with all day long, because trolls attack everyone. In every

setting, and social media managers are often times

very quick with a witty retort or comment or something to just

immediately shut that person down. And so, you know,

if you have that opportunity definitely take it. Anne: Yeah, and so what used to be,

you know, back in the day when you'd have a--that--maybe that bully at school,

now it's become online. Online bullying. Gabby: Yeah. Anne: And it's a real thing.

And we want you guys to know that we get it. It is a real thing. It can be

truly upsetting and, you know, it's something that does

occur, and I think that we need to be able to be prepared to take proper steps and to try to--

Gabby: We do. Anne:--just, you know, calm down and understand that, you know, maybe this

is not a personal attack on you. It reflects more on, maybe the person-- Gabby: It never is.

Anne:--that's doing it. Right? Gabby: Yeah. Anne: And their--whatever their issues

or insecurities are. Gabby: Well, I think too it's important to understand that it

really does happen to everyone, and I think where it's the most disturbing is when

whatever you wrote or did or...

whatever your part or piece of it was, when it's so mild

or so innocent, and you go, "Holy cow, where did this come from?"

Anne: Yeah. Gabby: And you really do have to understand at that point it doesn't have

anything to do with you, but there is another piece to this.

And, I think, it's important to note that there's a line, there's a

distinct line, in the sand between when someone's being a troll or a bully and when

they're being threatening and when it is clearly grounds to call in

law enforcement. Anne: Yeah. Absolutely. Gabby: Because there is. There is a legitimate

line there and you have to be cautious. That if someone is making threats

against you, bodily harm,-- Anne: Right. Absolutely. Gabby:--you know, or your family,

you know, that is when all of that content needs to be taken to the police. And you need to go,-- Anne: Absolutely.

Gabby:--"Look, I need to take steps to protect myself, because this is just now dangerous." Anne: And to not engage.--

Gabby: Yeah Anne:--And to do everything in your power to not engage, because a lot of times that

will just encourage more-- Gabby: Mm-hmm. Anne:--of the actions.

And, really, you guys take that to heart what Gabby just

said that when it becomes threatening--And the thing of it is, is that these days

it's not really hard to find out-- Gabby: No. Anne:--but there's a lot of

social engineering that goes on. Before the internet was so popular, I mean, there used to be--

they would call social engineering and people would hack into your systems, because that was when people had face to face

interaction, and a social networking, or a social engineer

for a hack would be you met someone face to face and you kinda stood behind them

while they were, you know, typing their password, maybe. Or you noticed the entrances

and exits to the building that weren't locked at certain times of the day. Or you noticed

the pattern of when people went into work. That was what social engineering was when you were

intending to do harm. And now-a-days it is now online.

And so it's something that you just need to be aware of that exists. And be

of the mind that when you start to feel uncomfortable, really uncomfortable,

it really is time to sit back, disengage, and think about, you know,

possible reporting or getting authorities involved. Gabby: Yeah, because understand too there is

an odd, you know, piece of celebrity and fandom to what we do. Anne: Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Gabby: You might be sitting back and going, "Oh, I'm not well known yet."

Or, you know, "I haven't really done anything that would make anybody pay attention to me."

That's not how crazy brain works. [Laughs]

Anne: Right? Gabby: If you're talking about an unstable person, or someone who's a, you know,

a potential threat, it doesn't work that way. I mean, you know, they

could just become obsessed with you, your voice, your persona,

a job that you did, and it can rapidly spiral out of control. And, I mean, yes we

do have stalkers in this industry. Sometimes a troll can

literally move from a totally cyber environment into a real life. Anne: A physical.

Yeah. Absolutely. Gabby: Yeah, and that's when it becomes scary. So, you know, you just--

you just have to be away, be smart. Outside of that though, I think,

you know, for the troll environment, and this is where it kinda gets a little

wacky too, sometimes these folks are people we know. They're other-- Anne: Yeah.

Gabby:--people in the industry. They might be a fellow voice actor. They might be a coach. They could be any number of people.--

Anne: My last one was somebody I knew. Gabby: And so--Yeah, same here. So the-- Anne: Yep.

Gabby:--question really then becomes, Anne, what's the etiquette moving forward? Meaning

if you have to find yourself in a social engagement with this

person in the real world, face to face, then what? Anne: Well,--

Gabby: How do you approach your troll later? Anne: I don't know, Gabby, if you knew this about me or

not, I know you do, actually.-- [Both laugh] Anne: I am not shy about just

directly addressing an issue, if I don't comfortable, it's just in my

personality. And, so for example, one of the--

one of the past incidence that happen was a very passive aggressive post. A few

of them, as matter of fact, and then a text. And I know this person, and so if I were to

see this person in a social situation I would have no idea, or excus--no idea?--I would have

no problem saying, "You know what, that really wasn't funny. And I'm not quite sure where

you were going with that and, you know, what's wrong with you?"

Gabby: Right. Anne: And that's how I would do it. But I was not, in this particular instance,

it was a mild troll but it was definitely a troll. It did not

effect me, or I did not feel as though I was physically threatened, in

this particular instance. If that were the case, then I would make every effort not to even--

Anne: [Inaudible] Gabby: Well, yes, of course, of course, of course.

Anne: For sure. But I would have not problem addressing and saying, "Look, it wasn't funny." And then just

see where it took me. What about you? Gabby: Okay. You know, it's interesting, because I don't

know if I have a good answer for it. My last troll experience

was so bad, I mean, you know, I think there's a part of my personality that,

yeah, wants--would go, I'd just march right up and go, "What are you doing?"-- Anne: "Like what's up with that?"

Gabby:--"What was that?" You know, why? Anne: Yeah. Gabby: And there's a part of me that wants to

almost say, you know, you know me but you don't know me well enough to

understand how your words may have impacted me. Anne: Yeah.

Gabby: And that's really the most upsetting-- Anne: Very true. Yeah. Very true. Gabby:--thing. And then there's,

you know, there's another part of me that goes, I would probably just

smile, nod, and do my best to not--

Anne: [Inaudible] Gabby:--actually have to engage. Yeah. And to basically dance around

them most of the night. Or skirt around them and not have to actually have that kind of conversation

because at that point I've gotta go, "You're no friend of mine." We don't-- Anne: Right.

Gabby:--there's no need for us to communicate further. So, yeah. Anne: Right. Exactly.

Anne: So, good stuff. Gabby: But, yeah, it's true guys. I mean, you really, honestly,

in a weird way, ya have to kinda go, "Well, I haven't made it 'till..." [Laughs]

Anne: Been trolled. [Laughing] Gabby:--somebody, yeah, somebody on the internet has decided it would be fun to cut me

down. Or to attempt to. You know, laugh about it, find the

humor in it and know you're not alone in that. And, again, we're a great

community. We come to each other's-- Anne: Yes! We do. Gabby:--defense. And trust me your

friends will--they'll rally behind you. Anne: They will rally, and all will be right. [Laughs]
