Waching daily Apr 28 2017

I remember the first time that I saw Reason and I was really amazed at just how consistent

the entire aesthetic was and the workflow was... and geeking out on the way that the

cables moved.

Our background is in building instruments.

That's what we've always done.

We always thought about the whole rack and everything in Reason as the super-instrument

that we always wanted to create.

It does what it does well and you can't get that somewhere else.

We did the instruments in the rack that come with Reason because we think that they're

the right instruments and effects and stuff for people to use.

And then there's been this explosion of amazing software instruments coming out on

the market.

I personally have had conversations with Reason customers who say, "I would love to have

the full version of Ozone and have that available in the unique workflow that Reason has."

Finally I have an answer for those people, that "yeah you can have it."

When I found out that Reason's going to support VST plugins I was incredibly excited,

and not because "oh finally those people will buy my products."

The first reason was, "Now I have a new DAW to play with."

We have so many Reason fans that are asking for our products there.

This is exciting, the fact that we can do it now.

My expectation of a Reason user is that they are curious and creative.

They're looking always for new sounds and that next sound.

It's really straight forward.

Reason finds all the VSTs you have installed on your computer and they'll appear alongside

whatever other Reason devices you have in your program.

And then you just drag one into the rack what we do is we put in our VST device.

The beautiful thing about Reason is that you can call up a piano patch and just play piano

and you don't have to worry about anything else but you can also go really deep and start

patching things up and building your own instruments, you know the whole idea of what a synthesizer

actually is.

And now you can do that with VST instruments too.

We thought the best way see how this works is to really see how this works.

So I'll drag an instrument into the rack and now Serum can be an instrument in the

rack.

I'm just going to open this up and load a nice sounding patch.

And with VSTs in Reason you can really start using all of the powers in Reason like CV

and audio connections.

So I'm going to sequence this using a Rack Extension.

I'll just hook it up with Gate and CV.

And now...

I can use CV to sequence it.

Let's also set up some modulation.

You can open the CV programmer here.

I want to modulate the pan of this oscillator, so I just click "Learn" and select it.

Now let's hook up Reason's native LFO, Pulsar.

I'll just hook this up in the back to modulation CV input 1.

Turn it up...

And...

I'm excited to see how it goes because I really think this changes the game for Reason users

Not just to Serum and my plugin but to all of the thousands of plugins that are out there.

Reason users I find to be some of the most creative people.

That's why you're gravitating towards Reason because you're trying to come up

with something interesting and unique.

That's what we're also trying to make.

My two favorite Output titles are Rev and Exhale.

What they do is electronica-faced but it's also very organic.

If you listen to modern production nowadays you have no idea what half those sounds are!

They're things that are manipulated and so that's really where we found our grounding.

Here's something that you never heard before.

The basic thesis behind starting Serum was that the synth that I want to use does not

exist.

I love Serum.

It's actually exciting to make sounds with it because it also looks good.

When you get to software you can do everything and so things can become very complex very

quickly.

What I think actually characterizes iZotope is they take on these really complex technological

challenges, but then they also manage to actually make that extremely complex technology make

sense to a user.

We're all there trying to do something that we love which is to enable people to make

music, to make art.

The whole thing that we do is to try to create a situation for people where they can make

as much music as they possibly can and have as much fun as they can while they're doing

it.

That's why we created Rack Extensions.

Having VSTs in the program allows us actually to really focus the Rack Extension development

even further.

We can explore the differences between these formats.

It's open to the whole world.

Maybe next time someone asks me for a remix I'll go, "Oh!

I'll do that in Reason."

I'm just in general thrilled to finally find this way that we can partner together.

It's a great sorta meeting of the minds of, you know, similar interests.

You'll get the benefit of what is 16 years of experience now coming to Reason.

They get that just sort of like...

DIETARY MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES | मधुमेह रोगियों के लिये डायट टिप्‍स | BY DIETITIAN PRITI NATH GURU | - Duration: 6:09.

Hello everyone, my name is Priti Nath Guru

Today I'm going to talk about Diabetes & its diet management.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder which is characterise by the elevation of blood sugar i.e glucose.

It's main reason is reduction of hormone known as insulin.

It has various types, where in we have insulin dependant and without insulin dependant cases

Today we'll discuss about them rather we talk about the reasons behind any diabetes case

One of the major reason is Age.

Now a days people with every age group is suffering from diabetes.

But its most commonly observed in middle aged people.

If I describe middle age then after 40 in males & after menopausal in females

that is somewhere around 45-50 years of age

This time we should be more conscious about diabetes

Secondly its a hereditary problem, if its seen in your parents, siblings

and in close blood relations then we might have chances to suffer with it & increases as compare to other preson

Thirdly, diabetes got developed in pregnancy in some of the women cases.

Although it gets over after pregnancy/delivery but

These ladies are more prone towards the disease as compare to other females.

There is one more very important factor i.e Malnutrition.

I will not say that its about overweight person who suffers from this problem

Even people who are underweight they also face this problem

But overweight persons are on risk side as compare to underweight person.

There is one more factor i.e emotional stress and stress which cause diabetes.

If our diabetes are not coming in control then such patients should control their stress/anxiety.

But as I said that malnutrition is the major factor for this disease.

overweight persons are on risk side, so we should work upon weight management.

Weight management is essential and we should take low calorie diet.

I'm keep on telling such tips and I'll discuss some important points for diabetic persons.

Starting with the Fat point

I'll not say that you'll control your diabetes through diet control

because it has different categorise

In some case you can control this problem by diet control.

In some cases along with diet you need to take medicines and insulin .

But the main factor is that dietary management has to be done.

So we'll start with the fat point for dietary management.

Such patients should be given less number of FAT content in their diet.

They should take 15-20 gm of fat in a day which is included cooking oil

I would suggest you to use unsaturated fatty acids and don't use saturated fats

Avoid butter, clarified butter & you can use Groundnut oil, Soya Oi,l safflower oil & cotton seeds oil for cooking.

In flours i would recommend you to take whole wheat flour instead going for simple carbohydrates

Take complex carbohydrates.

Avoid, Semolina, All purpose flour, Refined flour. Adding Bengal gram flour for making chapati then its good.

Ratio should be 2(wheat flour) :1 (bengal gram flour)

Avoid direct sugar products like Sugar, Honey, Jaggery, glucose, toffees, chocolates & sweets.

Avoid sweeten beverages and juices.

Apart from that you can the protein as a normal person takes

In non-veg avoid egg yolk and take egg whites

You can take chicken and fish and avoid other meats and mutton.

You should also take cottage cheese, boil it into hot water or soak it into hot water to sieve its extra fats.

Take double toned milk's curd and should take double toned milk up to 300 ml

Requirements of calories varies from person to person

So I would suggest you to get your diet chart done from your dietitian.

In vegetables avoid, Potatoes, Yam, colocasia

Instead take green leafy vegetables, beans, lotus stem.

In fruits I would recommend you to take Guava, Apple, Orange, Papaya.

Take these fruits in a moderate quantity i.e 1-2 in a day

But don't avoid the fruits completely.

Keep these points in your mind. In case you want specific diet plan then you can write to me

pritinath88@yahoo.com

I think my this video will be beneficial for diabetic patients.

Keep watching my videos & subscribe to my channel.

Thank you..

Free, Beautiful Domain Name Logos in Under 2 Minutes - Duration: 7:30.

A beautiful domain name logo like these in less than 2 minutes, for free.

I'll show you how.

My job as an educator at DNAcademy is to empower you to take control.

Relying on others to do simple tasks for you will only slow you down; and time is money.

So today I'm going to show you how I build beautiful domain name logos in less than 2

minutes using free tools that you have access to right now.

These logos, I think, rival those you can get at Fiver.com for five or 10 dollars, as

well as those you might see at BrandBucket.com.

First off, why do we need a logo for our domain names?

I did a video over at the Efty blog about the importance of a beautiful for-sale landing

page.

The gist of it was this: what would happen if you walked into an Apple store and all

devices were mixed up, tablets had fingerprints and smudges, cords were missing, and nobody

helped you?

That's right.

Nothing would happen.

You wouldn't buy anything.

But by focusing on being beautiful, organized and helpful, Apple's fantastic products area

increases sales -- AND they get a premium price for their products.

The same is true for your domain name logo.

So create a beautiful logo to go with your beautiful for-sale landing page.

Michael Krell, managing director of BrandBucket.com, a successful investor and frequent Sherpa

on DomainSherpa.com was recently on a DomainNameWire.com podcast.

He said -- and I'm paraphrasing -- the purpose of a logo was a simple visual identity for

an acquiring company that can be used on their website or business cards for the first six

to nine months before they invest in their branding process.

I think that's a perfect description.

And that should be our goal for a logo too.

We can also glean eight other important facts about the logos they design at BrandBucket.com:

1.

Horizontal perspective 2.

Includes brand name as text 3.

One or two colors, make words stand out 4.

Does not include the top-level domain in text 5.

Vast majority include an image or icon of some sort

6.

Image may be integrated into the brand text 7.

Image is to the left of or above the brand text

8.

Text uses sans serif, not serif, font

Go search Google for sans serif versus serif to understand the differences.

Basically, serifs are great for print; sans serifs are great for web.

This should be your four-step process before you even start the process of designing:

1.

Get definition of word(s) you want to create a logo for.

2.

Build a list of keywords or phrases.

3.

Identify the words that match the highest and best use case.

This is a concept I teach in DNAcademy for maximizing your potential sales profit.

4.

Play with design.

I went to NameJet and looked through their pre-release exclusives.

Vaporization.com catches my eye.

It was on a recent DomainSherpa Review episode and the Sherpas didn't love it, but I'm going

to select it for this tutorial.

First off, let's get a definition.

Go to Google.com and type in define:vaporization.

Now I make a list of keywords or keyword phases.

I'll add phase change, liquid to vapor, vapor, smoke, vape, vaping

The highest and best use case is likely going to be associated with vaping and the cannabis

industry.

It's massive and continues to grow exponentially.

The final step is to play with the design.

For this step, I'm going to introduce you to an app called Snappa.

As an aside, if you want to hear the whole story about why Chris Gimmer, the CEO of Snappa,

upgraded from Snappa.io to Snappa.com, sign up for the DomainSherpa newsletter at DomainSherpa.com/newsletter

because Monday that interview comes out and you don't want to miss it.

So go over to Snappa.com, sign up for a free account, and let's get to work.

Here's the process we're going to follow to build a logo for Vaporization.com:

1.

360x200 pixels wide x tall 2.

Place word 3.

If two words, consider pallate 4.

Search for simple icon to place 5.

Output with a transparent background 6.

Clean up with Preview, Seashore or your favorite graphics program

Timer ready?

Let's go!

I'm going to create a graphic dimensioned to 360 pixels wide by 200 pixels high.

I'm going to add text, and place the word Vaporization in the box.

Go with whatever font you like, but make sure it's a sans serif font.

I'll select the Lato Heavy font.

And I'll resize the box and font size until it's close to maximum for the width while

still allowing a logo.

Next I need to pick a color, so I visit Coolors.co (like colors.co but with an extra o) and click

the space button until I see a color I like.

Double click the hex number, copy it, and then come back to Snappa and paste it.

Now I need an image, so I go to the graphics tab and search for some of the words you brainstormed

earlier.

I type vapor.

No results.

How about smoke?

Hmmm...I don't like these.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Even though I know vaping doesn't involve fire, let's search for it.

I do like this smoke symbol, even though I don't like the bar.

We can fix that.

So I click it and it inserts onto my work space.

It would be cool to make the smoke come off the letter i because it's almost mid-center

and gives it balance, so I'll flip it upside down.

Now I'll insert a box, make it white and use it to cover the dot of the letter i.

Actually both I's.

Now I'll move the smoke symbol over the letter i and center it.

Click this icon to bring it in front of the white box.

And I'll copy the white square and place it over the base of the smoke.

That was easy, and I really like it.

Click save.

Now let's output it.

Since it's only for web use, it can be a simple high resolution PNG, and be sure to check

the "transparent background" box.

When I open it using Preview on my Mac I can see the white boxes, so I will click the toolbox

icon, then the "instant alpha" icon, then click once on the area, the press the delete

key, repeat, and we're done.

A beautiful, well crafted, logo for use on your landing page.

I scanned through the NameJet list and found a couple more domains that I wanted to create

logos for.

Here's one for SSLHosting.com, and here's one for Grinds.com.

Grinds sounds like my favorite coffee spot already.

Again, in under 2 minutes using Snappa.com.

I want to point out that you don't have to pay for Snappa -- they offer a free option

-- but I like saving my graphics so I'll gladly pay $120 per year for access to a tool that

helps me be more productive.

And if you want to see some logos in action, my Efty.com for-sale landing pages show logos

I created in under two minutes for: Diagnose.com, Matinee.com and Minify.io.

Now go out there and make some beautiful logos and landing pages!

And don't forget to sign up for the DomainSherpa newsletter at domainsherpa.com/newsletter

to watch Chris Gimmer's interview on Monday, May 1st.

How to Accelerate Your Transformation - Episode 6 - Duration: 9:52.

Want them to create new

features a show about thought

provoking ideas and practices

you can use to create and shape

your future in life and

in business.

Join IVI Shahar author and

innovation strategy consultant

as he shares his proven

strategies that have helped

clients create breakthrough

results.

Aviv has guided executives at

Fortune 100 companies and now

he wants to help you.

This

is a with a new episode

of create new features.

And this one brings the focus

to another game changing

insight how you

can accelerate the

transformation to produce

breakthrough results when

typically 80 percent of

learning value is lost.

To understand these questions

let me put the focus on the

four stages of adult learning

and why we must engage these

four stages to complete

the learning new

insight is about how you enable

leadership teams to innovate

in whole new ways

and to accelerate the

transformation of business

by compressing months of work

into just a few days

to achieve such audacious

goals.

We must understand and

deliberately apply the

complete learning loop and put

the four stages of learning to

work.

My most critical job is I leave

the strategy and innovation

process with a senior team

is first to help them discover

and enter the learning zone.

Once we enter the learning zone

we enable the team to take

ownership to the future.

They imagine I do

this by designing a series of

conversations that help the

team engage their learning

muscles we build

the energy and enthusiasm

needed to create and sustain

forward momentum and we

codify the ABC

the actions and behaviors

and the communication and

conversations we will create.

These are audacious goals

and the imperative we face

is that we must facilitate a

shift from merely learning

new information to

internalising applying

and teaching it to others.

This work requires focus

and effort.

We must engage people's

self-interest and capacity

for personal growth.

To truly effect personal growth

and transformational change

we must rely on and actively

engage.

The four stages of learning

here are the stages we

incorporate in our process

design.

In Stage 1 you receive

in stage do you understand

in stage 3 you apply

and in stage 4 you teach

and you own the learning.

So here is the way it works.

Stage 1 is the receive stage.

That's when you take in new

information stage

to the understand stage

is when you internalize the

information and validate its

implication.

Stage 3 the Apply stage

is when you run water through

the pipes to use in

test learning in specific

situations and stage

for the teacher and on stage

is when you model the new

learning for others.

And when you take the

responsibility for the

continuation of the learning

cycles in the broader ecosystem

here is an example of how I

apply the floor learning stages

in the design of a leadership

summit with a hundred and

twenty men engines for an

organization going through

rapid evolution.

To help messages accelerate

their personal and collective

learning we created a series

of experiences that quickly

guided participants through

the four stages.

First we introduce new

information about the future

operating model of the

organization and identify

the behaviors and mindsets

critical for success.

Second we enable the hundred

and twenty managers to tell

lies and validate the new

operating model by discussing

the implications for each one

of them in groups of three.

Third to address a

series of real life problem

solving situations we

had participants engage in

breakout groups.

These experiences enabled

participants to see the

relevance of the workflow in

the new operating model

run water through the pipes

and help them move from

internalizing the learning to

applying it.

Fourth we activated the

teaching and Koning outcomes

stage by developing the

solutions to these challenges

and presenting their

recommendations to senior

leadership.

The step by step process in the

summit enable managers

to test their new knowledge and

skills practicing

and coaching each other in new

behaviors made the experience

fun and energizing.

By the time they return to the

office the managers hand

applied a new set of behaviors

they felt they owned.

The new strategies and were

ready to teach their teams what

they had learned.

The key insight here is simple.

When people are given an

opportunity to shape the wrong

destiny and future what

becomes possible is nothing

less than miraculous.

Working with leadership teams

in this way to design

innovation and transformation

efforts can save six

months of precious time

as well as tons of

organizational calories.

By recognizing the window of

opportunity and guiding

the organization through

prototyping solutions for

real business issues

leaders develop new

capabilities and build

commitments to end ownership

of the desire to change

appointee's the before the

learning cycle is complete.

And through the fourth phase

will people take ownership to

teach and coach others.

The learning is not integrated

and the transformation is not

moving forward.

OK so let me discuss the

critical breakpoints with

the learning cycle gets broken

and the boss the first

breakpoint is when the cycle

of bolts on the second phase

you receive in you information

and knowledge and you even

validate it.

But you never move forward to

apply it and knowledge

remains intellectual and never

gets to be tested in action.

That's the first break point of

the learning cycle.

Failing to move from

information and ideas

to action a second

breakpoint occurs when you skip

the second phase as often

happens in a team situation

when people come up with a new

solution idea and approach

to an opportunity and they get

excited to quickly move forward

into action going directly

from the first to the third

stage before validating

deeply that they share the

same understanding about

the future state and the way

to get there.

A week later they find

themselves on their village in

path that produce conflict

and potentially system

breakdown.

Often the breakdown is not

the end of the world and

truly represents an opportunity

to pick up the learning cycle

by de-briefing what happens

and validating deeply that

there is a shared understanding

the first breakpoint is a

failure to move from idea

to action.

The second failure occurs

because of premature action

skipping mission critical

validation.

The third break point occurs

when people are not empowered

and supported to take ownership

of the learning and the

transformation and as a result

stage 4 never gets

fully activated and the new

method approach and or practice

permeates the organization only

partially.

Instead of enjoying a broad

embrace and implementation.

My observation is that

even in some of the most

admired companies in the world

the learning cycle gets broken

every day and that in fact

reaching the fourth phase

taking ownership to teach and

coach others is more the

exception than the rule.

Let me be more overt about

this.

This may be shocking for you

but based on my observation

not more than 20 percent of

learning incidents truly

and fully reach the false

stage of learning where people

take ownership to teach and

model the new learning.

To the people on the team

that means that 80 percent

of learning value or more

is lost which is quite a

catastrophic loss of learning

impact in our life.

I'll discuss some of the other

reasons. On another podcast

for now take ownership to

your planning and share this

insight with your team.

Put the four stages of learning

to work for you to accelerate

your growth and your team's

development.

Make learning Kountze by

modeling the behavior

first. You receive new

knowledge.

Second you validate to make

sure you understand surd

you apply and run water through

the pipes.

Fourth you take ownership

and teach it to others.

Here is what I recommend.

Find an opportunity to practice

this new learning.

Right now today.

See you on another episode of

create new futures

I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to.

You can ask a question simply by going to https://AskaHouseCleaner.com

Click on the little blue button over in the right-hand corner.

A little microphone will pop up and you can ask your question.

It will send it to me directly to me here at the show.

Now on today's show, we're going to cover this question.

This question just came in not from a microphone but through an email.

My client wanted to know.

"What happens when I've been a house cleaner for a period of time, I've been coming back

to somebody's house, and every time I come back they get a little bit more comfortable

with me coming.

And they leave more dishes in the sink, and more laundry and the beds are unmade and they're

taking advantage of me because they're more comfortable with my service.

How do I deal with that, what do I do?"

Alright, so here's my answer for you.

The very first thing that you have to do is you have to set ground rules when you show

up the very first time to do an initial walk-through at your customer's house.

This is the time where you get to show them.

"I am the boss of my company.

I am in control.

I am providing a service that you need."

And so when you walk around the house through your initial walkthrough, it's super important

that you make your rules clear.

So that your clients and your prospects that are going to hire you, they know what to expect

from you.

Right?

Because if you don't clarify, they don't know where the boundaries are.

So as you get to the kitchen sink I want you to stop.

There are probably no dishes in the kitchen sink.

And so ask them "Hey is this typical of when I arrive?

There are no dishes in your kitchen sink right now.

Are there going to be no dishes when I arrive?

And if there are one or two, do you want me to do that as part of the housecleaning or

are you going to do the daily chores?

And you break it apart.

There are daily chores, there are weekly chores, there are bi-weekly chores, and there are

monthly chores."

"Of those chores, which is it that you are hiring me to do?"

You want to clarify that right up front because if you think that you're doing my weekly chores

and they think that you're doing daily chores there's going to be a huge disconnect.

Okay, so here's the reason why we have to be so specific.

If they say "Yes I want you to do the dishes."

Then plan in your schedule for time to do the dishes every time you come."

And if they say "No, I'll take care of the dishes."

Then you don't have to plan for that time.

But if I show up today to bid a job, and there are no dishes in the sink, that's awesome.

Right?

Then when I come back there two dishes.

And I hurry and wash those dishes because it's only two dishes.

It's not a big deal.

Then when I come back two weeks later, there are ten dishes.

Now ten dishes take a little bit longer than two dishes, but it's still not very long.

Every time I do those dishes I'm enabling that customer to take advantage of me.

They say "Ah well, Angela did my dishes last time, I guess she'll do them again."

Right?

So, you've planned for a certain amount of time to do your chores when you get to this

person's house.

Then you get there one day and all these dishes are in the sink from last night's dinner they've

got spaghetti in the pot still, there's spaghetti sauce all over the kitchen.

You have garlic bread and crumbs strewn all over, but because you set the precedent of

doing the dishes every single time, now they expect that from you.

And they're not paying you any more money.

They just expect you to do that.

So, if you clarify from the very beginning what your expectations are, there's a less

of a chance that people are going to take advantage of you.

Now in my particular company, I have what I call renewable agreements.

Now a renewable agreement is not a contract.

I don't make anybody sign a contract to have housecleaning service with me.

We're both free to come and go as we want.

If you want to get rid of me or fire me, that's fine no hard feelings.

If I decide that you're not a good fit for me I would like to be able to say goodbye

and there are no repercussions.

But a renewable agreement is this, I can come clean your house.

I will be your house cleaner if everything goes swimmingly for one year.

At the end of the year, my agreement with you stops.

It's over.

And so at the end of the year if you still want me to be your housecleaner you have to

fight for my business.

Because if I find somebody that's willing to pay more money or somebody that I get along

with better, I'm going to switch and go with someone else.

I'm only giving you, I'm only guaranteeing that I will be your house cleaner for one year.

And at the end of the year if you don't like me, then we will go our separate ways.

If you do like me we have to renegotiate our contract.

Is that fair?

And I say, I tell them that.

I set this up from day one.

And so what happens is they're like; "yeah, yeah, yeah that's fine."

It's a year down the road so sure that seems like a fair deal.

What happens in the back of their mind is there always thinking

"Oh no, this is like

I'm dating someone I know I will never marry.

This is not a permanent relationship.

It could go kaput at any moment."

So every single time I come to have to refight for my business.

They don't want me to leave at the end of the year.

And I have to fight for their business.

I don't want them to fire me at the end of the year.

So what happens at the end of the year when you renew those contracts its kind of like

when you work in Corporate America.

And you have an annual review at the end of every year.

They go through and they evaluate what you're doing right.

And they tell you where you can improve, and maybe they give you a raise.

No one in house cleaning is ever going to come and say

"Oh it's time for you to have a raise.

I'd like to give you more money."

That's not how that works.

You have to ask for your own raise.

And if your contract is renewable at the end of every year that gives you an opportunity

to say; "Hey.

You still want me on as your housecleaner, I still want to clean for you, and I must

charge you more money if we're going to move forward."

So it's a really great segway into "yes, we still want this relationship to work.

But here is how we have to renegotiate it a little bit.

And they know it's coming.

They know it's coming because I set it up last year when I bid the job.

So, how do you get customers to not take advantage of you?

You as the boss, you set it up from day one.

And I encourage you to think about that before you go out on your next initial walk-through

with a new prospect.

That's it for today and until I see you again leave the world a cleaner place than when

you found it.
