Dutchess County Best Hamburger 🍔 ❤️ - Duration: 7:26.
Hey, what's up everybody, it's Stacey Storino from Joe's Dairy Bar and Grill and
in this video, I'm going to show you what our multiple award-winning ice cream stand
has to do in order to serve up the BEST hamburger in Dutchess County…and WHY you should care.
And make sure that you watch until the end so that YOU can learn how to save BIG at Joe's
AND get the inside scoop on some of the hottest ice cream and designer food trends in the
industry too!
Now, if you've always wanted to know how one of the most successful ice cream stands
in the United States, like Joe's Dairy Bar and Grill, makes their hamburgers so good
that you'd come for BOTH the hot food and the cold treats, well, you've come to the
right place.
But before I dive in, if you're looking for all of the hottest ice cream and designer
food trends in the industry as either a consumer or a business, even if you're never going
to come by to visit Joe's in person, you definitely want to sign up for our Sunday
Inside Scoop.
PLUS, if you ARE going to see us, you'll want to pick up your instant coupon, too,
good for your next visit.
You can register for both simultaneously by clicking on the link below this video.
Although we're racking up the awards for our ice cream, and more specifically our soft
serve, through the years, in the last two years' time we've even been nominated
for Best Hamburger.
Yes.
An ice cream stand.
Hamburgers.
Best hamburgers in Dutchess County.
You heard that right.
Actually, in January 2017 our Instagram shot of the cross-section of our Monster Burger
was scouted for use in an upcoming Food TV Network project, entitled at the time as "The
Kitchen Sink."
True story, and we DO have the emails to prove it!
But trust me, our regular burgers steal the show on the regular, as we can serve 100 or
more a day…sometimes 100 or more a shift!
Not bad for a wee little mom and pop establishment, right?
You don't get that popular for something that originally had nothing to do with your
business' origins by serving up boring old burgers, though.
But what makes Joe's Dairy Bar and Grill hamburgers just…so…good?
STEP 1: Where's the Beef?
Oh, here it is!
We start with fresh beef burgers.
NOTHING is frozen.
They're hand formed on campus by our staff and individually weighed to be sure each bundle
of beef is a true quarter pounder.
And, sure, it can't hurt that our hamburgers are often sharing the flat-top with bacon…because
people are ordering stuff that includes bacon all the time, as you might imagine.
Which leads us to….
STEP 2: Flipping on the Flat Top
Our hamburgers are made on a flat top as opposed to a raised grill.
There may be no charcoal grill marks, BUT we feel that a flat top seals in the juices
and allows for a nice tasty char coating.
To us and to our many customers, this kicks the flavor notes up a bunch of notches.
Plus having a well-seasoned flat top like ours makes all the difference.
We're talking sixteen years in the making for this particular piece of equipment.
That may have everything to do with those extra flavor notes that true hamburger lovers
detect as they dive into their dish.
It also may also have everything to do with why your burgers on YOUR flat top OR someone
else's don't taste the same way hamburgers do.
STEP 3: Burger Break
Another thing that we do when we're making our burgers for you on our delicious grill
is this: we give the burgers a break!
Meaning we're not flipping them too many times while we're cooking them.
We're not poking and prodding them a bunch of times.
When you do that, the burgers crumble OR they're just not as juicy.
When you make your hamburgers at home, try not to be so rough with them.
Let them rest more and prod them less.
You'll see a difference!
STEP 4: Better Buns
We do offer gluten free hamburger buns for those that want or need them, but by default
our hamburgers are nestled between a buttered and toasted potato bun.
We've found that using such buns makes for a better overall taste experience.
Plain white bread is…well…plain.
And sad.
And sadness and ice cream stands don't mix!
STEP 5: Toppings for the Win
We've found that the type of toppings one uses to crown their burgers makes a HUGE difference.
Our toppings are fresh made and can be locally sourced.
For example, our eggs are farm-fresh, often from local farms that deliver them to us.
Don't think THAT doesn't make a difference, folks.
It totally does!
Look at those gorgeous buns and toppings just waiting for our yummy hamburgers to meet up
with them!
We believe in super fresh hamburgers, toppings, buns…the works!
We package everything with care…
Because they're going to make someone's tummy do a happy dance.
We take pride in serving up Dutchess County's best hamburgers and now you know some of the
things that go into making them the very best that you can get for your money.
Hamburger Heaven
OK, part of any relationship—even when it involves foodies and their hamburgers—involves
keeping things fresh and sometimes even spicy.
That's why we don't just have regular hamburgers and cheeseburgers at Joe's Dairy
Bar and Grill.
We offer all sorts of creative burger creations!
And even things that are hot temperature-wise, let alone hot and trendy.
We've got weekly specials that keep things as fresh as the beef we use for our burgers.
So down in the comments section down below I'd love to know…what's YOUR favorite
burger?
Is it a regular hamburger?
A cheeseburger?
Or something wild?
Now you know the steps we here at Joe's Dairy Bar and Grill have to take when creating
hamburger bliss for our customers, but do YOU have a way to save big once you come to
visit us?
No problem.
I've got a cool discount for YOU and you'll also get the inside scoop on some of the hottest

Norbar Professional Adjustable Industrial Ratchet - Duration: 1:48.
This is the Norbar Professional Adjustable Mushroom Head Industrial Ratchet, part of
the new professional wrench series.
Factory calibrated to +/- 3%, these accurate torque wrenches are available in rated capacities
from 50 to 400 Nm.
A large setting window and secure push/pull locking mechanism allow operators to quickly
and easily set their desired torque by twisting the ergonomic soft-feel grip which resists
all chemicals in common automotive, industrial and aviation use.
The mushroom head features finger grips which allow for hand turning a nut quickly until
resistance is met.
It can be used in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions by popping out the square drive
and flipping it over.
An automotive ratchet head is available which only requires flipping a reverse switch.
Offset pawls with a robust tooth pattern allow for narrow engagement angles, making it easy
to work in tight spaces.
The Professional Industrial Ratchets work excellently with Norbar's HandTorque multipliers.
A 200 Nm wrench, such as this one, can easily produce up to 1,000 Nm of torque output when
connected to this 5:1 multiplication ratio gearbox.
If you are interested in purchasing one of these torque wrenches check out the link in
the description.

Phyllis Ferrell '94 - DePauw prepares you for life after graduation - Duration: 2:52.
I'm Phyllis Ferrell and I work at Eli Lilly and Company. I've been here 22
years and I am currently the Vice President of Global Alzheimer's Disease.
So Lilly and DePauw have a very very long history. And part of that is proximity,
geography. But actually I think it has a lot more to do with cultural fit. Early
in my career at Lilly I had one of my friends who was an IU grad come up to me
and say, 'Why do all the DePauw grads seem to be such good public speakers?'
And you know I really stopped and started to think about it. I think the reason is our class size.
So when he talked about the experience that he had at IU, although a
wonderful education, there were many classes where he would
go a whole semester without ever speaking in class. And even as a freshman
in DePauw that's not going to happen and by the time you're a senior, I think my
seminar class had 12 people in it. You can't hide and you are on the mic
and you have to figure out how to convince others of your ideas, articulate
your ideas, and really participate in class in a way that I'm not sure that
you can do in a large school. And I think that's one of the things that's very
impactful here at Lilly and it was really interesting that you know one of
my colleagues from IU noticed it before even I did.
If I had just learned a certain way of doing something, I'd be a little stuck right now.
But I didn't. I learned how to think. And in our particular world,
whether it be technology or social media, and for me and pharmaceuticals, science
is always rapidly evolving, what's really important is not that I know exactly how
to fill in a t-chart, what's really important is that I know how to take all
of this new information, process it, solve the problem, think broadly, and put all
the pieces together and that's really more of a liberal arts type of education.
And we don't get anything done by just looking at the world through one
functional lens. We often have to make sure that regulatory and marketing and
medical and science and the business ideas all come together into one
perspective. And the beauty of a liberal arts environment is that it actually
teaches you how to think across all of those disciplines as opposing to come
out with say you know a bachelor's degree that was very specific to one
discipline. By the time you graduate from DePauw you actually have the ability to
pull all those pieces together into concepts and ideas that are your own and
that you can then persuade others to agree with which is a big big part of
what we have to do here at Lilly.

What Is The Best CRM Software - Duration: 13:26.
Hey welcome back to the Six Figure Mastermind, Marianne DeNovellis here. For
today, asking you the question, what is the best CRM software? Now, I could give it
away, but I'm not going to. You're going to have to watch this video and find out.
But, we are going to walk you through it step by step, so stay tuned.
Okay, so let's talk customer relationship management software. We just refer to as
CRM software. You know, there's a lot of them out there. There's many and
there's big debate on which is the best. I'm going to go for Infusionsoft. This is my
go-to. It's what I use every single day with my clients, my client management
system. So let me just walk you through why it's best, and how to use it. So go
into your screen, if you go into your screen, in fact, pull up another browser,
right up next to this window we can go through it together. And you'll want to
set up an account it is a paid software but guys it is so worth it. So enroll or
whatever level that you need. You know, until you get to you know hundreds or
even up in the thousands of clients. You may not need a CRM software. But if
you're one of those entrepreneurs that's already up there and your client numbers
or your list length. You're going to need the CRM software. So, pull up another page
open up Infusionsoft. I'm just going to give you a quick tutorial on why it's the
best and how to use it. And bonus, I'm going to show you my personal leverage
system for the very end and how I leverage that this system to grow my
business. Okay, so pull up another window, go to infusionsoft.com. Okay, when you
open up infusionsoft.com. This is what you're going to see. You can do a demo,
you can, you know, just go ahead and buy a product or a package whatever you want
to do. But it is synced to everything. You'll be able to send emails with this
puppy, you'll be able to track things, you'll be able to sync, do all of your
systems basically in one place, alright. Yeah just like that, all your contacts in
one place look at that mmm they're so good okay maximize engagement minimize
workload. All the advertising stuff, yeah, you'll be able to do all of this. But I
just want to walk through with you, how I manage my leads through this customer
management software. Very cool. So, I've got another one opened up right
over here. And when you open up, when you first log into your CRM software when
you log into Infusionsoft, you're just going to see a link that takes you to
your client base. So I've already clicked that link over here and I'm going to take
you to my dashboard. This is how my dashboard works. I've got multiple
multiple tags, for how to find people in my lead system. You know, to track the hot
leads ,to track the not. How it leads, everything's in there so I've got you
know my new opportunities are right here.
These are my first picks the first people I talk to every day. And
eventually, I'm going to be pushing those people, down my list. That's my goal is to
gradually push them lower and lower and lower on my list until, they get to this
clothes sold or closed lost, okay? So, typically, you know, you're going to have a
bunch of new opportunities that's who you're going to go click on first.
Then, you know, I've contacted them one time, contacted him twice, contacting them
a third time. Now, I'm following up, now I'm working on path the payment. Then
we're into clothes sold or closed lost. You know, in before I got this fancy
system, I was basically in four categories. I was hot, cold, closed and
sold on my little Excel spreadsheet. This is much more user friendly and I'll
explain why. All right, so, I'm going to walk you through. Basically, what I do with a
client and again I can use this to send emails, I can use this to you know create
campaigns, but my favorite way is when I'm just you know, having phone calls
with clients and I'm talking to people. I have about 15 to 20 leads that come in
every day. And I need to be able to track them. I need to remember our
conversations and what was said and who did what and whose daughter just had a
baby and who just had a flood in their basement. I want to know all of that,
because, guess what guys, I cheat. I totally go in and when I'm on the phone
with someone, I have their notes out of like, oh my gosh, yeah, how is your
daughter? or and has that flood been cleaned up yet? Yeah, I totally have notes
in front of me guys. I can't remember all that and unless you're a superstar
memory person. You're going to need this too. Okay, so let's go into new opportunities
here. I've got a new opportunity that I just created.
And I'm first going to show you how to do that. So, let's say that you have the
opportunity title. This is how I organize my people. Opportunity title means, this
is what I need to do with the person. So, this one, I'm going to create as an
example. But, I could say I met this person at the February 7th meeting that
I had. This is going to help me remember where we met this person, okay? I'm the
owner, I've got a new opportunity, now, who is the prospect? so, I've got John Doe. Now,
if this person is already in your Infusionsoft, it's going to search for
them and find them. Now, John Doe is already in here under many different
names. So, I would find a John Doe and you know, my John Doe and
click on him. But if I had a specific person, it would show just that person in
there. So, we've got lots of examples for John Doe. I'm going pick just one of them.
And then, I'm going to write some notes. What made this person unique? Did I
get an email from this person? Did they ask me some specific questions? Did I
get a text from this person. I usually at the text or email is short enough, a copy
and paste all of that right into the opportunity notes so I can remember
exactly what it is that they want when they came to me. So, if they said an email
and they wanted information on the real estate course. Maybe they wanted
information about how to work with me one on one. I would type all that in, if
they included any details on what they're working on specifically, if they
included in any details on you programs that they're interested in or specific
ideas that they had. I would put that all of that in my opportunity notes because
I'm going keep track of that information that's important to me. So, I'm going put
that in my opportunity notes. Next action steps if there's any. You know and the
bright in the beginning you probably won't have a lot of those, but you will
later on. So I'm going to save that, and then it's got a new opportunity for me, okay?
So, check this out. I've got my new opportunity, I've got
action steps here, I've got notes here. Now, John Doe, maybe I said, okay, he
emailed me, I haven't responded to him yet, now I'm going to. So, I've got first
contact here, okay? That means, I've reached out to him, in my
book. So, I'm going to use my code which is texted on June 22nd. That's that tells me
that I texted this person. "T" for me means texted. You can do whatever system
that you want. And then I'm going to save that and save that. Okay, let's say that, I
texted him, I reached out to him, he didn't get back to me,
so I need to reach out to him again. How do I know I need to do that? Well, every
day, I'm going over to my dashboard and I'm looking at my new opportunities,
right? I always start there. My second step, is to actually start from the
bottom. I'm I don't need to worry about the clothes sold and clothes lost. Those
are already taken care of. But, I'm going to start from right down here. Because
remember, I'm trying to push everyone from the top all the way to the bottom.
So, I'm going to start on working on path to payment. Now, you may have different
category that's totally fine, this is just what I
use. I'm in a touch base with all of those working on path to payment. If they
you know, have a date that's coming up, I have some people working on path the
payment that's a follow up in six weeks. So, I have that in my notes and if I'm
checking that every day I'm not going to miss that. I also put that on my Google
calendar. So, on my Google Calendar, I've got follow up with Jane Smith on
September 17th. I've got that there and I've got two here double backup guys.
Need to have double backup all the time. So, I'm starting with path to payment,
working all those leads, if they need to be moved. I'm going move them, then I go
to following up. I just click on my dashboard right here, go to following up,
okay? Work all those leads, move them if I need to, then I go up to third contact
work all those leads, move them if I need to ,and I go back and they go to
my dashboard, I look up the second contact. Again, work on those leads, move
them down if I need to, go to first contact, work all those leads, moving down
if I need to. Now, you'll notice that I just moved John Doe from new opportunity
to first contact. So, when I go to first contact, all right so I've got John Doe
in my new opportunity. Now Infusionsoft is very very cool because it will always
put the oldest leads on top so you can make sure that you're touching base with
everyone that's been in your system for the longest. So, I've got John Doe in here
he's my demo opportunity. I'm going to open this up, right here, just by clicking that.
And it's going to bring me to this page. Now, I've got two versions of John Doe in
here, so again, let's say I called him, I did my first contact with him, I called
him on, oh excuse me, I texted him on at 6:22, he didn't get back to me he's going to
go to first opportunity. So tomorrow, when I go and look at my first opportunities,
my first contacts, this is what I'm going to see. And then I'm going to click on first
contacts, I'm going to open it up and it's going to show me right here. I have a little
move by date, so I know I'm keeping in touch with my friend John. Let's say I
texted him on the 22nd, he didn't text me back, it's the next day, I'm going to, I'm
actually going to call him, because my text said maybe,, great I'd love to chat with
you, I'm going to call you between 12:00 and noon tomorrow. So, let's say it's tomorrow,
I'm going to call him. I'm going to put that "C" for call on 6:23. And I'm going to move this
down to second contact. Save that, it's going to save
my notes as well. So, now I know oh, I called him on 6:23. Let's say that I
called him right? And if I don't, you know, close the sale right then. I'm going to need
to still keep track of it. Let's say I called him, he missed the call but, he
sent me a message back and said, "hey I'm in the middle of something can you call
me back tomorrow?" So, I say sure I'd be happy to. I'll call
you back between noon and 3:00 tomorrow. So I'll say, hey call and now tonight
tomorrow's coming. I'm going back through I'm starting at the bottom working my
way up. I'm back with John Doe. Okay, it's time to call John again. It's time in my
calendar. I'm going to call him 6:24 and move this down to third contact, right? Save
that, and now, we're having a real conversation. So, while I'm on the phone
with John, I'm talking about, "hey yeah, it looks like you contacted us about
this program, let me just share with you the details." So, I'll make a note of that.
Share details of real estate program.
Okay? And then, I'll write some notes. Oh okay, John told me that he is a
veteran. He's married with six kids, any other special details about him that I
want to keep track of. And let's say that he loves the program, but he needs to
talk to his wife first. Needs to talk to Sara, maybe that's her name.
Cool, so I'm going to make a note of that and then I set up another follow-up
appointment with John. And I'm going to say, cool, when you have a chance to talk with
your wife and then give them a call back the next day. So, now it's the next day
again, third contact, I'm moving in up to following up. Remember? I'm just pushing
people down that list until they go into one of those clothes sold or clothes
lost categories. Okay? So I've got following up. I've got that saved.
I call John, he says, "yeah I talked to my wife, sounds great, we really want to move
forward with this." "Here's my credit card number, and I've closed the contract now."
I only move it, if it's close sold, if I'd collected money. If I've collected a
credit card number , f I've collected cash or if collected cheque.
That is going to go to clothes sold. If it's a sold, clothes loss, if it's a not
right now. He follows up with his wife. either if he doesn't get back to me or
he says, you know I'm getting back to you, it's not a good fit, I'd put it in lost.
Clothes sold, it'll give me an option to pick the program that he went into.
Clothes loss, will do the same thing. It'll tell me. I can say why. It's not
financially viable and not interested in a contacted dates, didn't work, whatever
it is. And if it's moved into those categories, let's say we just clothes
sold. This is just a demo, so it really doesn't matter. What we put in there and
I'll save it. Now I still have his information, all saved in my dashboard so
if I were to go back into my dashboard, and say, oh my gosh I know John loved
this program, he had a great time at the event. There's a new product coming out. I
want him to know about. I can go in here in my information and say, oh my gosh I
need to talk to all of my clothes sold people. Let them know about the product. I
also need to go back into all of my clothes lost people and let them know,
hey, I know that program wasn't a good fit for you and maybe it is now I'm not
sure but I did want you to know about this up and coming event that's coming
up. This will keep track of all of their information for you so it's all in one
place. Guys, this Infusionsoft software is just top the line. They are on it, they're
upgrading all the time. They're constantly making new adjustments and
they're constantly getting feedback from you and from me. This is the top of the
line CRM software. I highly recommend it. There's way more features to explore in
Infusionsoft. So, open it up, open up those features, get to know them, get familiar

for an All-Star show in the next couple months.
- That's right. - As well as Switzerland, too,
to do a jazz arts festival.
- It's a Jazzaar festival.
- My bad.
- It's okay.
- (laughs) Yeah.
So, yeah, man.
Welcome to Drumeo. - Thank you.
You have a really cool lesson plan for you.
You're a very creative and unique drummer.
There's a reason why
you get called to the studio as much as you do,
and that's because you have a personality
to your playing.
And I think it's a great lesson topic,
adding personality to your grooves and to your playing,
because, like I said, you're very unique.
You have a distinct sound to you,
and I think it's great.
- Thank you very much.
- Huge thanks to TAMA, Meinl, Vater Drumsticks
and Evans for helping put this together,
and for supporting Rodney throughout his years.
But, yeah.
What did you play on?
What was that song called, the first track you just did?
- Oh, that's a song called Ghost.
- Ghost.
- That I wrote for an upcoming album that I'm doing.
- Very cool.
So, that's coming out this year?
- Yeah. - 2018?
- 2018.
- Awesome, what's that album going to be called?
- The name of the album is Axiom,
and I'm about halfway through right now.
- Nice.
Make sure you find that when it's released.
You can find Rodney Holmes at his website,
RodneyHolmes.com.
You can also find him on Instagram at RodneyHolmes1.
- That's right.
- And then on Facebook at RodneyHolmesMusic.
So make sure you check him out, follow him,
and see what he's up to this year.
So, that's enough of me talking.
For those watching on YouTube, welcome.
For those watching on Drumeo, welcome.
If you want to see what we do here on Drumeo,
head on over to our website and sign up.
We do this kind of stuff all the time.
We're also gonna be filming
a bunch of exclusive content for Edge members,
as well as an interview,
with some questions being answered tomorrow.
But today's topic: adding personality to your grooves.
- Right.
- Take it away, man.
- Well, a lot of people have asked me
about certain grooves that they've heard me
do over the years,
and I wanted to talk a little bit about
how you can add some of your own personal touches
to just normal kinds of grooves
that you may be playing all the time.
(hi-hat clangs) And so there were two
that I thought might be interesting.
One is kind of like a halftime groove with a backbeat,
and I just wanted to give you some idea
of how I come up with different ideas,
just from having to deal with a halftime groove,
just some of the things that I've come up with over time
playing in different projects
and different kinds of music.
So, this particular groove
(hi-hat clatters)
came from
playing like a halftime backbeat, like this.
(drumming)
Something like that.
And so I started
just adding little things,
and because of certain situations where I've been in
where there's been, like,
a space for a guitar solo,
or maybe just a break, like an instrumental break,
I started adding little things.
First it was a little ghost note type patterns
behind the hi-hat and the snare.
(drumming)
Stuff like that.
And then I started adding the toms.
So, let me give you an idea of what the actually idea is.
The sticking, (laughs)
I guess I should start with the sticking.
Well, okay, let's start here.
Basically, the sticking is
(hi-hat beat)
So, we play the backbeat.
(drumming)
So, if I was gonna play it,
just kick, snip, hi-hat,
it would sound like this.
(drumsticks clack)
(drumming)
So, it sounds pretty straight and simple that way.
But the idea was to add different parts of the kit,
using the same sticking.
- Now, before you go onto that,
can you just show us the sticking?
It's on the PDF, too.
This is number two we're talking about here.
But maybe you just explain the sticking
and how you came up with that?
Because that's already a pretty personal touch
to that regular halftime groove.
- Yeah.
It's a--
(drumming)
So, it's basically,
if you were just listening to the phrase--
(hi-hat beat)
So, this is--
(drumming)
that's where the backbeat would be.
(drums beat)
And it's, I use that a lot.
It's a nice pattern to kind of move around a kit.
Like, plate it in grooves like this.
(drumming)
- [Host] (laughs) Okay.
- So, you can take that and move it around.
So, you take that same sticking,
and you can kind of move it,
well, primarily with the right hand,
you can move it anywhere, you know.
Anything that sounds musical,
and if you can get some sort of,
like a melodic narrative going.
Like you could use it on the toms.
You can use it on the cymbals.
(drumming)
So, I started using it on the toms,
and adding some cowbell, adding some cymbals.
Like this.
(drumming)
So.
(drumming)
You can do it like that.
And it sounds cool slow.
(drumming)
So, I would sometimes,
well, a lot, add the hi-hat
just to give people a point of reference,
so they can hear exactly where the one is.
That's a nice thing to do.
(hi-hat beat)
Open-close splash thing happening.
So, the whole thing sounds like this.
(drumming)
- (laughs) I love it.
- And that's the idea.
- So, how did you develop that?
Because I remember watching a video of you,
I think it was in 2003,
maybe it was the Modern Drum Fest.
It was a video where you taught a beat
similar to that, actually.
- That was 2005.
- 2005, sorry.
But I remember watching that over and over again,
and you have that, like,
you can tell that that's a Rodney groove.
So, how did you develop that personality behind the kit?
- Uh, well. (laughs)
I think that it's a combination,
it's a culmination of all of my influences.
And I think what gives a person a personality,
it's like,
I mean, I look at it like spoken language.
And just like any child,
you learn how to speak from the people around you.
- Right.
- You know, your parents, your friends, whatever.
Like, whoever's around you,
as a child, you imitate them.
And so no matter,
it doesn't matter
if you're speaking the same language as everyone else.
You're processing that language through your own prism,
and through your own life experiences,
and through your own characteristics.
So, even though I'm using the same words
that other people use, you know,
I'm still saying something that they wouldn't say.
- Right.
- I put words together in ways that are slightly different.
I have a way of speaking.
You know, everyone has their way
depending on where they grew up
and what their influences are.
So, the way I processed my musical
influences
was unique to me just because I'm me.
You know, and you're you. - Yes, yeah.
But it was a lot of different influences.
It's from listening to a ton of different dialects of music.
And so, I just thought of
not only playing the groove,
and getting the groove to sit in a certain way
and sound great,
but melodically, how can I get the groove
to have a narrative all its own?
You know?
Particularly in the context of a drum solo.
Or a break or something like that.
And I think that applies to drum solos.
It applies to just coming up with grooves
that fit music really well.
Just to try to come up with something that sounded good,
like, that someone would want to hear more than once.
- Right.
- And so I just got into the habit of orchestrating things
based on the music that I listened to
and my early drum influences.
- Makes sense. - Yeah.
You know, people like Max Roach and Tony Williams,
and when I was very young, big fan of Steve Gadd.
Just anyone who was melodic.
Well, any of those guys.
They were very melodic.
So, they were influences.
But trying to come up with things
that if I hadn't heard them,
I never would have come up with any of that.
Do you know?
They would open little portals,
but it's up to you to step through it.
You know, they show you a concept,
and it's just like, "Wow, that's an approach."
So, you can extrapolate that over years and years
of just listening to different kinds of music
and different drummers that came along before me.
- Right.
- And they just opened things up to me.
Like, helped me to think of doing things in a different way.
- So, your approach with this and the melodic side of it,
going around the toms,
making something enjoyable to listen to,
that's bled through everything you play.
- Yeah, yeah. - You try to apply,
if someone comes to you and say,
"I'd like you to play a halftime groove on this album,"
that's kind of what you go.
It obviously depending on the song.
- Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Well, if someone asked me,
if they called me and said, "Okay, can you play on this?
"It's a halftime groove,"
I wouldn't just start playing.
- Sure, of course, yeah. (laughs)
- What I would do is to play them,
the thing that works best for the song,
you know. - Yeah.
- With the bass players playing.
If it's a vocal tune or if it's an instrumental tune.
My first priority is to make the song work and feel great.
Then, you know,
if the artist or producer would ask me,
"Hey, could you,
"That's cool, could you add something to it?"
Then little by little, I'll try different things
to augment the groove.
Maybe little things on the hi-hat,
like, subtle, subtle things.
Or maybe the kick drum a little busier,
maybe playing with the bass player,
or not playing exactly with the bass player.
There are a million variables, you know.
It depends on what's happening in the song.
But there are other places where I could take it.
- Yeah, well take us through that process.
This halftime groove.
Show us, like, kind of step-by-step.
Maybe play it as you develop it,
and add some nuances in.
- I think in the very beginning,
I'd started just adding other pieces.
(drumsticks clack)
(drumming)
See, it's like a straight groove like that.
Then you have more a groove, just more like--
(drumming)
So, I may do something like that.
Or-- (drumming)
Something like that.
Or, keep this going,
so that this gives
the band and the listeners a point of reference,
and maybe trying something over here.
(drumming)
You know, something that's not too offensive.
Something that still sounds like music.
(drumming)
Something like that. - Yep.
- Still sounds nice and musical.
- Yeah.
- It came from just adding things
in different situations,
and, you know, one thing led to another
and I started doing--
(drumming)
Stuff like that.
And then that's when that sticking came about.
(drumming)
That particular pattern.
And from doing that,
from some of the stuff that I did with Jim Weider,
because he does a lot of,
sort of like rock halftime grooves.
Stuff like--
(drumming)
I started going--
(drumming)
(cymbal crashes)
Stuff like that. - Yeah.
- He wrote a tune called Ma'am Cry
that was a halftime groove,
and it was like this tempo.
(drumming)
And so I started doing this.
(drumming)
I wanted something with some tom toms.
And then that's when I started coming up
with all sorts of things, you know.
Because it's a long tune
with like two guitar solos,
and eventually a drum solo.
So, I came up with
(drumming)
And then eventually, with that, that other pattern.
- Very cool. - So it was just
playing with Jim and playing with different people
and just developing ways of expanding, you know.
- Do you have a certain mix or pattern or rudiments
that you find creeps into your playing more times than not?
- Um, I would say the paradiddle
did a little more than anything.
- Yeah?
- I mean, in my opinion,
I think the paradiddle might be the most valuable rudiment.
And it's a silly thing the say,
like one rudiment being more valuable.
I think what I mean is,
it's just a great, it's a beautiful rudiment
because you have to,
you have to alternate.
And it's a combination of doubles and singles.
So, what it does is,
it not only builds your hands
and gets you used to switching from doubles to singles,
but it also does something with your brain.
Your brain gets used to firing the synapses to switch.
Which is a useful thing. - Right.
- So, you can come out of whatever you're doing,
either with the right or the left.
And it's just kind of a nice way to
gain more accessibility to the kit.
You know, even something simple as--
(drumming)
And then you can come up with different phrases.
(drumming)
It just gives you this access to the kit.
(drumming)
All of that comes from (drumming)
switching from doubles and singles,
and alternating. - Right.
- So, I would say in terms of getting the most mileage,
the paradiddle,
I get the most mileage out of that than anything.
- Makes sense.
- Yep. - Yeah.
- You have another groove on the page, a 7/8 groove.
Do you want to talk about that
and show us how you added your own personality to that?
- The 7/8 groove was something
that I like to use during drum solos.
But yeah, that came from playing in situations
where the music, nothing was in 4/4.
I mean, nothing. - Really?
- Yeah, I played with this great guitar player
many years ago named David Gilmour.
Not the famous David Gilmour--
- From Pink Floyd. - From Pink Floyd.
- Okay. - Another David Gilmour.
He's a phenomenal guitar player.
And he used to write all this crazy music.
And I was in his band for a few years.
And so I got used to trying to come up
with different ways of playing all of these odd meter tunes.
And it was always like
a bar of seven, a bar five, two bars of two,
a 3/4 bar, and something.
It was always these really angular shapes.
But how would I make that sound pleasant,
you know, rather than like math?
So, and the songs are very beautiful.
But it was complex stuff.
So, in an attempt to make it feel
and sound less like an odd meter, or meters,
I started coming up
with ways of making it sound
I guess more digestible to people that don't know anything
about odd meters at all.
You know, they're just listening.
- Right.
- So, and playing something like
a 7/8 groove with something simple, like--
(drumming)
Something like that.
I started, again, similar to the other groove,
just trying to find different ways of
filling it out and making it colorful.
And so I started using--
(bass drums boom)
This double kick drum pattern,
which is--
(bass drums boom)
So, that's the pattern.
And so, let's say I was playing
like a simple 7/8 groove.
(drumming)
So, that was how it started.
Just to get that heartbeat going.
(bass drums boom)
And to me, it just sounds nice.
It just has a nice shape to it.
It had a tendency to pull people in when they heard it.
- Right.
- So, that was the basis of the groove.
So the whole thing is--
(drumming)
You can play that anywhere.
We can play it on the right cymbal.
You can play it on a tom
the right hand part.
(drumming)
Okay?
(drumming)
When you move it around,
it sounds less like the same angular pattern
spliced together. - Right.
So when you do stuff like this--
(drumming)
- Very cool. - Stuff like that.
And then you can add things.
(drumming)
You can do things like that.
- Show us that one more time a little slower, if you can.
That was really cool what you just did there.
- Um.
The basic pattern?
- Just what you were doing on the cymbals, and everything.
It was just so cool.
- Uh.
(drumming)
That's the pattern.
- Right.
- And then you would add things like--
(drumming)
Because when you move things around,
it has a, it's got a nice hump, you know.
It doesn't sound like math.
When you have interconnecting parts, you know.
It's hard to explain, but.
- Yeah, no, I get it.
I get it.
So, for drummers watching,
you mentioned your influence is a huge reason
why you're, that's how you developed your sound.
But what kind of recommendations
would you give drummers out there
to come up with some sort of personality behind the kit?
- Well.
Well, one thing I would say,
that being open minded is crucial.
If you're a younger drummer,
I would recommend listening
to drummers that came long before
you or anyone else that you know.
Because it seems like drummers don't go back
and listen to people from the '50s and the '60s,
and the '70s, the '80s, even the '90s.
You know, they may go back four years.
They name their influences,
and it just doesn't go back that far.
So, what happens is you're denying yourself
this reservoir, this universe of rich music.
I mean, there've been so many phenomenal drummers
over the decades,
and it just seems like a lot of drummers
don't know who they are.
People like Max Roach and Elvin Jones and Sid Catlett.
Just incredible players.
So, it helps to know who they are
and have some idea of what they did in the past,
because we're,
even if you don't know it,
you're standing on a lot of people's shoulders.
You're playing things that
were done a long time ago,
and then there were people that learned from them
and added to that,
and people that learned from them and added to that.
So, you're probably playing a lot of things
that drummers sort of developed
or were experimenting with in the past.
Personally, in my humble opinion,
I think it helps your music, it helps your playing,
to know something about those guys or girls.
To know something about the linears,
the permutations that music and the drummers that made it
or were involved in it.
Just knowing something about what they did
gives you something to draw from.
So, that's one thing, you know.
I'm not saying you have to be a historian,
but just have some idea
of what guys have done throughout the years, number one.
Number two is don't cut yourself off from,
I like to call it different dialects of music.
I don't like to use the term genre.
- Okay.
- Don't cut yourself off from something
because you don't think it's cool to listen to it
right away.
Because the moment you say,
"Oh, I don't like this kind of music,"
when you make a definitive statement like that,
you'll hear something, and you'll hear someone,
and you say, "Wow, that's cool."
And it's that music that you said you didn't like.
- Of course, yeah.
- So, remain open minded and do some research.
That's number two.
Number three, listen and learn, but
understand that there's a difference
from being influenced by someone and copying them.
- Yeah, I was gonna say that,
because at one point you want to listen
and figure out what these other great drummers have done,
but you also want to be more personal.
- Right.
- It's not about imitating,
it's about coming up with your own personality.
- Exactly.
And I was, I guess, up until the age of maybe 18,
I would imitate people that I looked up to.
By the time I hit 19,
you can't get away with that.
I mean, I couldn't.
Where I came up in New York playing,
I mean, you were frowned upon if you sounded,
if you were playing the exact licks,
you know, they could tell.
So, there's nothing wrong with imitating people,
but again, it's like a child imitating an adult
to learn how to say certain words.
They just repeat what someone else says
because they're used to using the words
and putting sentences together.
Once you understand that,
you're not gonna go around
just repeating what other people say.
So, if you can think of it that way.
- Right.
- However, maybe there are certain words
or certain,
a certain terminology
that you wouldn't even have known about
if someone hadn't said something to you.
So, just hearing them say something
or sharing an idea can open your mind to something
and lead you to something really cool later on.
So, that's an influence.
- I love it, yeah.
- That's the difference. - Right.
I mean, there are tons of influences in
the way I play, but you couldn't recognize.
You couldn't say, "Oh, that came from this person," ever.
- Right.
- Which is how I think they would want it.
Because I had to find myself within those parameters.
You know, you hear other musicians,
older musicians, and they would open the door,
and then you have to walk through it.
You have to find yourself,
but again, just to reiterate,
being influenced by someone doesn't mean copying them.
Not forever.
So.
- Love it. - That's one thing.
And just remain open minded.
Try things.
If you like something,
if you hear something and it really affects you,
and you just love what you're hearing,
check it out.
It doesn't matter what category it's in.
If it's something that appeals to you,
do the research.
Check it out.
See what they're doing.
See what they've done.
See what the band has done.
Don't just look at 10 seconds of something on YouTube.
Really check it out. - Right.
- And that, I believe,
can help you to kind of find your own voice.
Even if there are things that you think you might like,
but when you play it you're not really feeling it,
that's okay.
Because then you can acknowledge, like,
"Wow, I like this, but that's not really me."
So, this part of it something that can help me,
but not this part. - Right.
- And there's no disrespect in that.
But just be open minded and do some research,
and check things out,
and open yourself up to all the possibilities,
and be honest with yourself.
Realize when you're,
when you get to a certain point,
like I said, I can only use myself as an example.
By the time I hit 19 years old,
I did not want anybody to be able to hear me
and say I sounded like someone else.
You can say that you hate me,
but just don't say I sound like--
- As long as you don't sound like anyone else.
Well, you definitely have your own sound to it.
Let's get you to play another tune, if you don't mind.
Because we want to hear some of your personality
out of these drums.
You have another track lined up,
correct? - Yeah.
- And what is the song?
- This is a song called Electric Wildlife.
Ghost is new.
That's going to be on this new album.
Electric Wildlife is on an album
called Twelve Months of October.
- Okay.
- That I recorded,
actually it was released in 2005.
So this is old. - Okay.
- And some people out there would know this song.
But it's fun.
It's a cool tune, so I figured I'd play it.
- Let's hear it!
- All right.
("Electric Wildlife" by Rodney Holmes)
- Oh, I love it!
I love it, man.
Very smooth.
You're just, effortless behind that kit.
- Oh, thank you.
- That was very cool.
So, we've got a couple questions that have come in,
and if you don't mind, I'll ask you a few of 'em.
First one is actually talking about your kit set-up.
I know Gene and Shackman and a couple members
have asked about your specific kit,
and I'll take it one step further.
How much of your kit set-up
has to do with your personality behind the drums?
Because you look at guys like Neil Peart,
and he has a specific set-up.
He's known for it.
Terry Bozzio, you know, all these drummers.
And you have a unique set-up, too.
I always see a cowbell right mounted on your bass drum
in most of the videos that I've watched of you.
So, first question is,
how big of an influence is your set-up to your personality?
- I would say zero.
I think
my set-up is a reaction to my personality.
- Ah, okay. - Not the other way around.
- All right.
- I was a big Rush fan when I was a kid.
Me and this guitar player, we used to get together
and play through all the stuff
from Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures,
and at that time I wanted this huge kit.
And after listening to a lot other people later on,
like Clyde Stubblefield and just a ton of other people,
I realized that lot of the things I wanted to get,
I didn't need a kit that large.
The way, the kind of how I was hearing drumming.
I think with some people, there's certain sounds,
or certain things that they want to get,
so they need those things.
Me, I was able to get the sounds that I needed
from a kit that constantly got smaller
and smaller and smaller.
So, the kit is a direct reaction
to how I want this,
the music that I was hearing drum-istically.
- Which makes sense.
And again, you can see it,
the very similar set-up in a lot of your videos,
so you can tell that
that's influenced your set-up, at least,
your personality's influenced--
- Definitely, definitely.
and I may add a floor tom.
You know, I think,
you know, maybe a 16, a couple of floor toms.
Maybe a couple of cymbals.
Sometimes I'll use a splash.
But that's it.
And the cowbell, you know,
that was just something I came up with
when one of the very,
one of the only teachers I ever had
was a percussionist named Frankie Malabe.
And so I took a couple lessons from him
to learn some of the authentic Afro-Cuban rhythms
and kind of how he applied them on drum kit.
And so I used the cowbell for that
because some of those rhythms that I was learning.
- Right.
- And then seeing other drummers, again,
from the past that did cool stuff,
and maybe they had a cowbell.
Steve Gad, a few other guys.
And I though it was nice.
It was nice to have it there.
And then I found out, I don't know,
it was just a nice color to have in any style of music,
so it's just a nice sound to go to.
- I agree.
I love it.
I love hearing the grooves.
Whenever you move to the cowbell,
it always gives it another level, in my opinion.
Last question before we wrap things up.
We're gonna do a full interview with Rodney,
so for those Drumeo members that have questions
that we're not getting to,
we'll get to those tomorrow.
But the biggest one, we're talking about influences.
Who are your top five influencers
on the drum set? - Oh, god.
That question is--
- I know, you probably get asked it a lot.
- That's so hard. - Yeah.
- That's difficult.
- Because you don't want to leave anyone out.
- That's the thing.
I don't want to leave anyone out.
I feel really bad, because everyone is so important.
- Yeah.
- And even, like, a lot of guys
that a lot of drummers don't know.
Just phenomenal players that I grew up seeing.
- Maybe mention some of those guys, because--
- Guys like Tommy Campbell
and
you know, just wonderful musician.
There are a lot of guys that are around town
that were just phenomenal and good people.
And drummers never talk about them.
So whenever I leave someone out,
I just feel bad. - Yeah, fair enough.
Fair enough.
- But I'd have to say,
I mean, there are probably a few
that really shaped me at a particular time.
And (exhales)
Max roach is a big one.
And the reason I keep mentioning Max
is because there's so much of what,
there's so much of Max in a lot of drumming in general.
That's another thing I don't think people realize.
Like rock drumming.
Like, just the whole thing of using toms.
Like-- (drumming)
Using things in melodic ways.
You know, Max used to do things like that.
He would compose entire drum solos
in different time signatures,
then pay the melody on the toms.
And just kind of little things that he would do
during his drum solo.
(drumming)
Stuff like that.
(drumming)
You know, Steve Gad, who was also a big Max fan,
would, you know--
(drumming)
You know, a lot of that stuff comes from Max.
- Right, right.
- Tony Williams is huge.
John Bonham was a big influence, as well.
I would say they're Tony, Max.
When I say Tony I mean Tony Williams.
Maybe Elvin, well, definitely Elvin.
But I'm trying to think of
the people that kind of shaped how I set up my drums
and things like that.
It's hard to name five.
It's just impossible.
- Yeah, I get it.
- Yeah, but those are the guys that I would say
really shaped how I kind of set-up
and realizing what I could get out of a small kit.
- Right.
We'll we're running low on time.
- Okay.
- Is there anything else you want to add?
Any other tips or challenges to the viewers watching,
the drummers out there who are trying to get
their own sound behind the kit before we wrap up?
- Uh, no.
I don't really have much to add,
other than just
fundamentals are, like, incredibly important.
But just remember that these are tools.
You know.
It's a means to an end, not the end.
So, whatever technical things you're practicing,
they're tools.
They're tools so you can gain access to the kit
and play your music, play the music that you hear,
play the music that, you know,
whatever band you're playing in, or whatever.
But the technique, it's just a tool.
An important tool, but just, you know.
Keep in mind that the idea is to play music
and find yourself in whatever you're playing.
Like, if you're in a rock band,
or if you're doing a lot jazz,
or if like me you're doing a lot of all of it,
there are ways
to be authentic and truthful to the music,
and adapt to the music, but still sound like yourself.
You have to find yourself.
Just be honest.
If something's not happening,
be honest with yourself and say, "Hey, that's not.
"I need to get that together.
"I need to work on this," or, "I need to work on that."
But through that, through honesty,
you'll start to find your own way of speaking.
At the same time, doing the music justice
and servicing the song or the situation.
- Very cool.
Thank you so much.
- You're welcome. - Yeah.
I hope you guys enjoyed this.
I really liked how you just broke down
two simple beats, halftime, 7/8 groove,
show it how you add your own creativity to it.
And you took 'em to a whole new level.
They're notated there if you want to try what Rodney did,
and again, if you want to try to use him
as an influence to your drumming.
But try not to imitate him 100%, right, I guess?
- Yeah, I mean, if they're really young--
- Go for it.
- Then that's how you learn.
You imitate people, but--
- A couple members in the chat were saying,
"If someone told me I sounded like Rodney Holmes,
"that would be the biggest honor in the world."
So. - That's nice.
- So, thank you everyone for watching.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Again, if you like what you're hearing here,
come on over to Drumeo.com.
We're gonna do a full course
on the body fulcrum with Rodney,
a Q and A, and some other real cool little lessons
and quick tips for you, as well.
So, check us out there.
And again, a huge thanks to TAMA.
Huge thanks to Evans, Meinl, and Vater Drumsticks
for helping make this happen.
Rodney, I'm gonna leave it at that,
but I want you to play us a solo.
Is that cool?
- I'll try, see what I can do.
- All right. (laughs)
I'm putting you on the spot here.
I'm gonna leave.
Everyone, enjoy the solo.
Rodney, thank you so much.
- It's a pleasure.
- And we'll see you later, guys.
- All right. - Buh-bye.
("Electric Wildlife" by Rodney Holmes)

ما تحتاج إلى معرفته عند السفر إلى كوريا What you need to know when traveling to Korea - Duration: 4:38.
Hey guys this is Steve!
Finally! Today I brought content on Korean culture!
Korean contents with Steve! Episode 1
So as a first episode I want to cover,,
How you visit Korea, When should you visit Korea, and What to do in Korea briefly
first of all as Korea is gaining popularity slowly among Arabic countries
Many people from Arab visit Korea
However, despite the fact that Korea is known, not many people know When and how you can visit Korea
So for those I've done a little research to help you out
The time it takes to fly from Riyad, Saudi Arabic to Incheon, Korea is about 12 hours
There is a stop over in the middle so it takes about 12 hours total
As I took deeper look into it there is a stop over at Dubai,UAE
It take about 10-12 hours from Incheon, Korea to US or Europe
so I don't think it's very tough flight
If you are flying from Dubai To Incheon, we have direct flight
which means there is no layover in the middle
You can take Emirates
or Korean air as a choice of flight
It takes about 8 hours
There are at least two flight everyday from Dubai to Incheon
they fly very frequently
Then now the important question is How much is the flight ticket!?
I found the cheapest flight ticket through website called "sky scanner"
The cheapest I found was about $700 USD
It takes 15 hours, and some has a flight with a stop over at HongKong
Emirates is listed also on here
It takes 9 hours from Dubai to Incheon
however it is lot more pricey, because Emirates is one of the best Air carriers
It cost about $1800 USD
You can fly cheap but at the same time you can pay more to save time.
Cheap air fare usually involves numerous layovers and you will be very tired
If you don't want to get exhausted from long flight, I suggest you to buy expensive direct flight tickets that saves time
So in the end it is not super expensive to come to Korea if you look out for cheaper tickets
And the other think that I wanted to tell you guys is
When is the perfect time to visit Korea??
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
I'm sure that there is no distinctive four seasons in Arabic countries
Korea on the other hand has distinctive four seasons
So we are known to have four seasons
So it feels very different to come to Korea in Spring and Summer
and also with winter, Autumn as well, you will see and feel differently
so you can enjoy four different seasons in Korea
In my opinion, the best time to visit Korea is,,,
Definitely not Winter
All of you guys are exposed to warm environment, so cold weather in Korea will be very painful..
And since Summer here is not much different from weather in Saudi Arabia so I don't think there are any fun
So, in my opinion if you were to visit Korea, I would suggest you to come in...
Spring! which is from March to May
and Also Autumn which is from September to November
It will be great
I would especially recommend Autumn
because Autumn in Korea, you get to see colorful leaves falling from the tree, and trees colored in yellow and red
once you are hiking up on a mountain you will see beautiful scenery with colorful leaves
colorful trees are just breathtaking experience.
My personal recommendation, Autumn!
And the last thing that I want to suggest regarding your visit to Korea,
I suggest that you come up with a concept upon visiting Korea
For instance, you can choose shopping as your main concept for the trip
It can be history,
K pop,
Food or culture,
You can choose any concept you like and concentrate on your topic.
If you chose shopping, then focus only on shopping while you are here haha
If food then, visit all the tasty restaurants around the city
cultural exhibitions for culture,
Something like this, it will be very fun to travel around with a single concept
However, since you don't get a lot of chances to visit Korea, I'm sure that you all want to see everything at once.
I do understand your enthusiasm to conquer everything at once
However, it will definitely be fun to focus on few of the areas
Please consider it as one of your choices
and also, among the choices, visiting Seoul to meet Steve could be one of the reasons
Send me message through Instagram or Facebook and let me know that you guys are visiting Seoul
If I have time, I'd love to meet up and say hello, take photos together
So it was very brief and short, the first episode on Learn Korean culture with Steve!
I will come up with more fun ideas and topic to introduce Korean culture
See you next time! BYE!

History's most Deadly Shooting plan on students revoked by Handicapped Teacher - Duration: 2:47.
History's most sad Shooting plan on students saved by Handicapped Teacher
After the Parkland, Florida school shooting, first-year teacher Marissa Schimmoeller dreaded
the inevitable conversation about classroom safety that awaited her when she returned
to work at Delphos Jefferson High School in Delphos, Ohio.
Marissa was born with cerebral palsy, and is confined to a wheelchair so unlike other
teachers, she is unable to reassure her students that she could save them in the event of an
emergency.
She knew the question on her ninth and tenth grade students' minds would invariably be
centered around what she would do if they were all forced to run for their lives.
Marissa decided she'd tell the students that if anything were to happen, they should
run and save themselves.
That's when the teens told her that secretly, they have their own plan in case of an emergency.
Marissa told her story on Facebook:
"Today was really hard for me.
Today was the first time I had to teach the day after a mass school shooting.
I dreaded facing my students this morning, and as the first students walked in, I began
to feel the anxiety pooling in my stomach.
I was dreading one, specific question.
Soon after class began, a freshman asked me the question I had been dreading since I had
heard about the tragedy in Florida.
"Mrs. Schimmoeller," she asked.
"What will we do if a shooter comes in your room?"
My stomach sank.
I launched into my pre-planned speech about our plan of action.
Then, I knew I had to say the harder part: "I want you to know that I care deeply about
each and every one of you and that I will do everything I can to protect you.
But – being in a wheelchair, I will not be able to protect you the way an able-bodied
teacher will.
And if there is a chance for you to escape, I want you to go.
Do not worry about me.
Your safety is my number one priority."
Slowly, quietly, as the words I had said sunk in, another student raised their hand.
She said, "Mrs. Schimmoeller, we already talked about it.
If anything happens, we are going to carry you."
I lost it.
With tears in my eyes as I type this, I want my friends and family to know that I understand
that it is hard to find the good in the world, especially after a tragedy like the one that
we have watched unfold, but there is good.
True goodness.
It was found in the hearts of my students today."
If these students are any indication, the younger generation of Americans is going to
be just fine.
Please share to spread these kids' message of love, acceptance, and courage in the face
of danger.

#FiveThings About Deploying a React App {S:01 Ep: 11} - Duration: 6:05.
>> Is this the most fun you've ever had?
>> Hi, I'm Burke Holland.
>> And I'm Dan Abramov.
>> And this is Five Things About Deploying a React app.
Number one, it's just JavaScript,
so you can host it anywhere you like.
And you can put it on Azure or Heroku or Amazon,
anywhere and it just works.
The only exception to that is,
if you are using
a router or building a single
page application with React.
In which case, you may have to make
some modifications on the server. Why is that?
>> So, usually client size single page apps.
They cannot hijack the address bar
so you want to show some,
probably deep path like /todo's/completed,
that doesn't actually map to your any files on the server,
it's just like a logical path.
And so, usually when people solve that
by having the server always
serve index HTML for
any unrecognized path and
then the client will pick it up,
on the client and figure out what to
show depending on the url.
>> Yeah, exactly and you can do this with
app service both on
Windows and on Linux, works either way.
And that's actually in the Create
React app docs, isn't it?
>> Yeah, so check out the user guide. It's good.
>> Read the docs.
>> Why does it take so long to unlock if you?
>> I don't know. Don't ask me, I hate that.
>> All right. Number two,
React apps can be rendered on
the server and if you want to
render React apps on the server,
how exactly can you do that?
>> So, you can do it manually,
we have API's for server rendering.
But personally, I would just recommend to
use a project called Next.js.
It's an open source project that
encapsulates some ideas about how
to do server rendering in efficient way.
So, I recommend to check it out.
>> Just check out Next.js. It sounds like a cool project.
Number three, you can deploy
React apps using some sort of continuous integration
or continuous delivery service like
Travis or Jenkins or Visual Studio Team Services.
And what's cool about this,
is you can check your code into GitHub, not your build,
just your code and then have
the build server pull it in, run the build,
and then copy your code over to Azure App Service
or wherever it actually needs to be.
So, in the end you get just your build assets,
not all of your code.
Because you don't want to deploy your entire project
to the web server. That would be bad.
>> I guess.
>> Number four, you can
deploy React apps with Docker. What is Docker?
>> No idea.
>> I don't really know either,
but I do know that you can deploy React apps with it
and you can check out the docs for that
on Azure App Service.
I do know that it's a neat way to bundle
up your app and deploy it straight to
app service and have it run without having to worry
about installing any of the dependencies,
which is really cool.
You should check that out. It's called Docker.
Dan doesn't know anything about it.
It's awesome.
Number five, if you want to
use React with Node or Express,
you can use the Express React starter project, right?
>> I don't know what that is.
I don't officially endorse it. But maybe it's good.
>> See, use Express React starter. It's awesome.
And now, a question from Twitter.
Super duper.
Let's take a question from Twitter. Questions time.
>> No.
>> No, I can do jazz hands?
Brian Renaldi is asking for
someone that's coming from another framework like,
let's say Angular for example.
Can you explain the difference between
Flux and something like the MVC,
MVVM patterns some people are used to.
>> So, it's kind of fuzzy.
So, a lot of people are not going to
agree with what I say.
Like some people say that the Flux is MVC and in a way,
I guess it is. But I think.
>> What'd you say?
>> Practically, I would say the biggest difference is that
there is top down data flow.
So, in MVC you have
these models that may link to other models,
that view may subscribe to this,
and then a view has another view
and that thing is the same model.
And so, you have this kind of
connections that are naturally
enforced in any particular direction.
And in, Flux it's more like things,
there is a model which is called the Store and the
state lives there and it
kind of goes down into components.
And if components wants to change something,
they dispatch actions which go back to the Store
and then the Store decides what the next date is.
So, it's more a kind of streamlined.
But there is also more boilerplate code
in each way, I guess.
>> Do you have to use Flux Synergy as React?
>> No, you don't need to.
It's just, I guess,
it's a nice escape hatch when you have
Deeply asset tree and need
the same kind of state in different places.
So, React has a way of dealing with that,
usually lift the state up to
the closest common ancestor component and
kind of just let it go to child components.
But the problem with that is that
if these components are too far away,
it just becomes a lot of
boilerplate code and some people don't like that.
Or sometimes it's not performant enough.
So in this case, you might want to
move states sideways out of
React hierarchy and keep it in
Flux or Redux or any similar thing.
>> So Flux or Redux?
>> Redux is kind of
different but the data flow is basically the same.
It's just written in a different way.
>> I'm Dan Abramov.
>> I don't remember your full name.
>> Oh my gosh. It's Burke Holland.
I'm the internet famous.
Not as Internet famous as you.
Can I get your autograph?
>> No.
>> Would you take a picture with me?
>> No.
>> And now you know
Five Things About Deploying React apps.

Lukas Watercolors Comparison-Pro Vs. Student, is it worth it? - Duration: 8:03.
Hello Friends!
It's Kat, from MeowMeowKapow!
Through Youtube, I've met a lot of thoughtful, caring, and generous people.
One of whom is Mikki, from Malamik Art.
If you haven't already checked out her channel, Mikki has a TON of product reviews, especially
for watercolor and oil paints.
I love when she decides to get goofy with things like looking at her painting through
a microscope, and her portraits are very soft and lovely to watch come to life.
A while ago, she reviewed the Artist's quality Lukas 1862 paints on her channel, and she
loved them!
We got into a discussion about how I'd tried the student grade Lukas Aquarelle studio watercolors
a while ago and we talked about swapping paints with each other to try.
Especially to compare her $60 Lukas paints with my $16 paints to see if the difference
was worth it.
Except Mikki sent a 14 pound box, holy smokes!!!!
There's so much candy in here guys….
It's just crazy.
My favorite part is actually the little card she sent, which has a tiny painting she did
with some of the paints I sent her.
It's adorable, and sweet and I'm hanging it all on my wall to keep me happy.
Now to the whole point of this video, the paints!
The poor little tin of Lukas paints got so jostled around in the mail that half the colors
were just loose in the tin.
I asked Mikki what order she wanted them in, and she said "Oh, any old order is fine!"
to which I said "Rainbow order it is, then!"
It's my favorite order, you see.
That an the Order of the Phoenix.
Because the whole point of this video is to compare my studio grade paints with her professional
paints, I thought it would be a good idea to see if they had the same colors and to
try and line them up in the same order.
In case you have problems with getting your pans to stay in the tin, here's how to really
make sure they're secure.
First, take out all the paints and push the metal….
hands?
Fingers?
We're gonna call them hands.
Push the metal hands inwards, usually further than you think you'll need to.
Figure out what order you want your paints in, and then rest one edge of your pan on
the ledge without a hand, and have it angled up towards the top of the hand.
When you put firm pressure on the upper part of the pan, it should make an audible click
as it locks into place.
It's okay if it's a little bit difficult, because you want the grip to be really tight.
But if it's too hard, loosen the hand's grip just a tiny amount and it'll be okay.
By the way, if you check the doobly-doo you'll find links to all the products used, as well
as ways to help support my channel and how to find Malamik Art.
I appreciate deeply every like, comment, and subscribe!
If you'd like to help fund these art adventures, please consider leaving a tip on my Ko-Fi
account.
Thank you!
For the student grade paints, I did my best to match the order with what I'd put the
professional paints in.
There isn't any pigment information on the box or online for the student grade paints,
but here are the names and in the order they came in.
We're gonna have a jolly laugh about one of them in a bit.
Y'all know by now that I'm obsessed with labelling my paints, so just like if this
were any other palette build, I'm putting tape labels on my pans and then rearranging
them to match the order of the professional grade paints.
Thankfully, it looks like both of them are intended to be roughly identical in color!
I never swatched out the student paints when I got them, so we'll be doing that alongside
the professional ones as well.
The first thing I did was jut a basic little swatch test of each color, followed then by
a flow test on the side of the chart.
This was just done by wetting part of the paper and then lightly dabbing in dots of
color to see how the paints moved in the water.
They bloom a little, but their flow is modest at best.
The professional paints flow slightly better than the student paints, but nothing crazy
like M Graham or Daniel Smith.
After this, I made black lines on the outside of the swatches so I could both test the opacity
of the paint, as well as test its glazing ability.
Most of the pro paints glaze pretty well, meaning that you can put another layer of
paint on top of a dry layer and it not only won't disturb the lower layer, it will usually
make the color more intense.
There was also a lifting test, and I have nothing unusual to report on this Canson Montval
watercolor paper-almost everything lifted really easily to reveal the white of the paper
underneath.
Then I circled any of the paints I thought were either opaque, or semi-opaque, and repeated
the whole process for the student grade paints.
Weirdly, it seems like there are more paints in the professional line that I thought were
opaque than in the student line, but after using them….
I think it may have just been the way I did the swatches.
Also, let's take a look for a second at the payne's grey in the student set.
I even went back and double-checked the footage to make sure I hadn't accidentally labelled
the raw umber as Payne's grey somehow, but no….
It's definitely the right pan.
That's just also definitely NOT payne's grey.
AT best, it's some kind of brown, though I couldn't tell you which.
Why you lyin,' Lukas?
Hi Bubba!
He got bored while I was painting so he politely asked me to pet him by gently petting my work
table.
He's so sweet! Aaah!
Now, back to the paints.
To give them both a fair test, I made two drawings of the same character and used identical
colors to make the mixes.
The one thing I goofed up a bit was the skin tone, because I couldn't quite match the
color exactly but everything else is pretty much spot-on.
One thing I noticed is that the student paints really did not like to layer.
When I put the shadow on the legs, a very thin wash of my shadow color started to reactivate
and move the stripes for the leggings.
The professional paint didn't have that problem at all and they glazed easily and
beautifully.
Both paints were super vibrant though, which was actually really confusing for me.
The only other thing I'd ever painted with my student paints was over a year ago, I did
a portrait of Link from Breath of the Wild.
I remember having a super hard time building up the color and was pretty frustrated with
the paleness of the piece, but I was at least glad that the whole thing overall was evenly
pale.
Since I had the excuse to take it off my wall, prints of Link will be in my etsy shop.
You can find the URL for that down in the doobly-doo, along with all the other stuff
I mentioned earlier.
Weirdly, it seems like I was able to get much more vibrant pigmentation this time around
with the same exact paints and aside from my own personal artistic growth, I can't
imagine what changed between then and now.
At the end of the day, which of these paints is worth it?
Frankly, I don't think either of them is.
For a student set, the Aquarelle studio paints are just so-so and do have a thickness and
chalkiness to their consistency.
They're not bad, but they've sat on my shelf for over a year without getting used
again, and I'm starting to remember why.
If I'm going to pay $16 for a set of paints to start with, I'd rather spend the exact
same money on the Sennelier Test Pack that I also just reviewed.
Or just a few dollars more on the Tropicals set from Prima Marketing, which also don't
have pigment and lightfastness information and have the benefit of coming in a sturdy
metal tin!
There are so many paints available in the same price range that these have nothing special
about them to make me really want to keep using them.
For $60, I don't really think this is a great set of professional paints, either.
The one color that I really liked and found myself wanting to use was the magenta, but
I don't think one half pan of magenta and a good tin are worth $60.
For just slightly more money, I'd rather buy a huge set of Mijello Mission gold paints
that come with a super durable studio palette, or for literally half the price I'd rather
buy a palette of white nights watercolors with 12 full pans, rather than 12 half pans.
The quality on the professional Lukas paints is by no means bad, I want to be clear on
that, but I don't think it's $60 good.
Again, there's nothing so exciting about these that makes me want to use them above
any of the other paints that I have in the same if not better price range.
That's just my opinion though, what's your experience with these?
I've seen a couple of reviews of people who really really loved them, and maybe I'm
just not understanding their strengths?
After all, I didn't love Sennelier paints at first because I thought their color was
too wimpy compared to my Daniel Smith paints, but when I used them more and more I eventually
fell in love.
Anyway, until I see you again, I wish you peace, love, and a Bubba snoot.
Bye!

How To Turn Negative Into Positive - Make A Choice - Duration: 9:16.
Wow, our topic today is a big one. How to turn a negative into a positive.
Everything that we do on a daily basis, we can either perceive it as negative or
we can perceive it as positive. I'm excited to share some new perspective on
turning negatives into positives.
When you identify something that you feel
like is negative in your life, I'm going to challenge you to find the positive in it.
Have a quick example. I've worked with a client yesterday who shared an idea with
me a belief that she has about herself that she doesn't engage. She said "I just
don't engage." and we're going to pick apart that statement really quickly. First of
all, I don't engage. What she meant by that was she doesn't go to parties, she
doesn't go to social events, she mostly stays home and just goes to work and you
know, just does what she has to do and I asked her why and that question why is
super important and she said because when I go to those things, they just ask
the same question. How are you doing? What do you do? What do
you do for work? What are your hobbies? And they're all superficial, they're just
all really basic superficial questions that everybody asks and she doesn't like
that and so as we talked, we found out that it's really important to her that
people engage with her and that she engage with people on a deeper level and
going out in these social situations, it's kind of just the American way to
just say how you doing, I'm fine. You know, superficial is just the American way,
right? So finding out why she doesn't engage was because she doesn't like
superficial conversations so the flip side of that is, I'm a very deep person. I
want to engage on a deep level so we were able to turn that negative
statement, I don't engage and not going out to parties, not engaging socially and
turning into a positive of it's super important to me that I have engaged,
deeply engaging conversations with people and get to know people on a deep
level so if you have something in your life that you find continually showing
up, there's some sort of a pattern that is not working in your life, identify
what it is, put it in just a really short concise statement like she said, I don't
engage, put it in something really short and concise and then ask the question
why. Why is this the case? Identify where that's coming from
and just like she said, I hate it when I go to these parties and people just ask
these superficial conversations, you know, we do superficial conversations and
then find the positive in that. What does that mean about you? If you hate
superficial conversations that means that you are a very deeply connected
person and how cool is that and how crazy is that that what she was creating
was not engaging, not making deep conversation, not even meeting people at
all and these beliefs that we have about ourselves, the negative that
we buy into is so crazy because it's taking us the opposite direction of what
our gift is, of what we actually want to create and we're super gifted at.
Alright, so I have three questions for you that's going to help you identify what
your gifts are especially if you have identified something that is not working
for you, you can use that as a clue and flip it on its head and really see what
that's really trying to tell you. The first question to identify what you're
really gifted at is what are you passionate about that is undervalued? And
that might sound kind of crazy but again, it's this negative positive thing,
whatever you're seeing is negative is actually positive. So what are you
passionate about that is undervalued? And the reason why that question works is
because usually when we're kids, we have no idea of what social skills
are, what boundaries are, what our inside and outside voice is,
all those different things that we're just not sure about as a kid and we get
reprimanded for standing in our power, doing the
things that we do best, showing up in our gifted self because it's like too
much for other people so we get undervalued or the perception of being
undervalued because of showing up passionate. So that's the first question
is, what are you passionate about they is undervalued? The second question
is kind of along the same lines as the first one is, what have you shut down
because you have been shut down in the past? And again, showing up in your gifts
can be perceived as negative because it's different, it's new, it's
unique to you and the third question is, what pattern
do you go to to avoid showing up in your gifts? And if you've been
shutting down, if you've been creating patterns, if you've been avoiding things
that you're really gifted at, that means that you've bought into the idea that
this is a negative, that whatever it is that you're really gifted at is a
negative.This is an opportunity for you to take a look at it and once you
identify what those things are that you have shut down or that you're avoiding
that you're trying to hide, then you can ask the question why. Why am I trying to
hide that? Where is that coming from and more than likely, you're going to come up
with some kind of a memory or there will be a situation that happened that
where you got reprimanded or you got judged for being something that was
beyond normal or above normal or unique to you and once you identify that then
you'll be able to flip that into a positive and say, wow, I'm actually super
good at that and I've kind of been shutting it down because I got
reprimanded for it as a kid but now I can see I've got those social skills, I
know where my social boundaries are, I know how I can use that to my benefit
and to other people's benefit as well and I'm going to embrace that and just
like this woman did, instead of choosing to not
engage because she's a deeply engaging person, you can make a choice to see that
gift as a positive and now describe yourself as possessing that gift that I
do engage on a deep level and now when I talk to people, that's my goal,
that's my goal is to deeply engage. So for my client, this is kind of what her
life looked like. So for my my client, she had these beliefs that were, I don't
engage, nobody is deep. I'm going to say, nobody
is as deep as me. I hate superficial. So she had all these
beliefs that added up to I don't engage. Maybe I don't like
parties.So all of these beliefs that she had created answered those questions,
what are you passionate about that you feel is undervalued? What have you shut
down because you've been shut down? What pattern do you go into to avoid your
gift? She was avoiding her gift by not going to parties, she was shutting down
her ability to engage with this belief that I don't engage so these questions
are going to help you to identify what is circling around your gift and what we
discovered for her is her actual gift is, I do engage deeply, that was what her
gift was so when we focus on the negatives, when we put a lot of value
into those negatives, there's no way that we can see the heart of it and the
positive of it that this is actually what your gift is so use those questions
to really identify, what are those beliefs that you have about yourself,
about things being negative and then use those to identify
what the positive is and what you're truly gifted at. So we're
going to have more videos that are along this lines of turning negatives into
positives and finding the positive in everything so be sure to subscribe so
that you can learn more.
