(theme music)

JIM: Young America Films, produced by OLD PEOPLE.

STARCH: Okay, who wants to bet AGAINST this being a "magical dream visitor firehoses a kid with conformity messages" type deal?

JIM: Uh, I'm good, thanks.

JIM: I am Centron and I'm... pretty sure I've used this joke in a previous riff!

MOM: Cindy!

STARCH: Stop mad dunking on that sadboy! His fragile ego can't take it!

Tomorrow? I'm going to Mary's party tomorrow, aren't you?

A party? Why I didn't even-

No, I don't like parties. I never had any fun at parties.

JIM: (as Cindy) Not since that clown exploded.

DENNIS: ...more fun all your friends are there. MOM: Cindy!

DENNIS: Well, I better go. I'll see you. Here's your ball.

STARCH: (dully) I must return to the regeneration tanks.

JIM: (Cindy) Why didn't they invite me? Is it my breath? Because I melted down Mary's bike on a dare?

JIM: (Cindy) Maybe it was busting her dad for tax evasion. Guess I'll never know....

Mother, why do you suppose Mary didn't invite me to her party?

JIM: (Mom) Well, you did implicate her in the Black Dahlia case.

Maybe they thought I didn't want to go to the party. They probably thought I wouldn't know how to act.

RANGOONS: (shocked reaction) STARCH: Mom's a githyanki!

MOM: You'll get an invitation to the party.

STARCH: (Skeletor) As soon as I destroy He-Man! Hehn-hehn-heeehn!

Oh, it's not important anyhow.

JIM: (Cindy) Good night, Slendermom.

- Good night, mother. - Good night, Cindy.

STARCH: Good night, my PREEECIOUS.

(dreamlike music starts)

STARCH: Yyyyep! Called it.

DREAM MOM: Your name's Cindy, not Cinderella.

JIM: (dream mom) And you're made from pumice.

DREAM MOM: You'll go to the party.

JIM: Yul BRYNNER is going. You, CINDY, are staying home.

VOICE: Cindy...

VOICE: Wake up, Cindy!

JIM: (Cindy) I'm woke as f***!

- Who's there? I don't see anybody! - Of course you didn't! I'm not just anybody!

STARCH: (fairy) I'm the Black Dahlia!

Sure

You don't believe me? Well, that's up to you. I just thought you might want to go to that party.

Oh, I do, I do.

JIM: (Cindy) That Mary needs a new mudhole stomped in her!

Oh, but I wasn't invited to the party. They probably thought I'd rather play basketball or go fishing or-

Oh, you've been invited all right. I've seen to that.

STARCH: Now, put on the class president's skin!

- You mustn't tell anyone! - Not even Dennis?

Well, maybe we'd better tell Dennis. I've a feeling he's going to need my help too.

JIM: I've got a pair of shoes that'll make him dance til he dies!

(ding!)

It IS this afternoon!

JIM: (Cindy) I had a doctor's appointment this morning, you bitch!

Oh, what a mess.

STARCH: (Cindy) Sit and spin, you prancing pinhead!

Ready?

(ding!)

JIM: ...huh.

Oh, but this isn't my very best dress!

Oh, now look, you're not going to the party to show off your clothes!

JIM: (fairy) You're going to rob them blind!

STARCH: She's a calligramancer!

FAIRY: ...and neat when you go to the party!

We'd better hurry now, we don't want to be late!

STARCH: (fairy) I gotta drag three of you rugrats back to Arcadia and I'm not getting stuck with leftovers!

Here we are!

JIM: I think this is Mr. B. Natural's mom...

- I hate to be the first one. - I don't blame you. No-one likes to sit and wait for a party to start.

JIM: Oh, or maybe it's Pink's mom.

...get going until everyone arrives.

So whenever you go to a party, Cindy, always...

STARCH: Bathe, for crying out loud.

And when the clock says it's time to go home...

(ding!) Be sure to leave on time! That's important!

JIM: Ya hear that, shoppers who come in two minutes before the store closes?

But you can spoil the fun of a party if you try to make it last too long.

STARCH: A hundred years is okay though.

(kids talking in distance) Oh look, here come some of the others now!

JIM: (Cindy) Whew, I was prepared to wait hours out here to not be first!

Hi Cindy, who are you talking to?

Oh, no-one, I was just thinking out loud I guess.

STARCH: These kids are gonna get picked off like it's Camp Crystal Lake.

DENNIS: Cindy!

JIM: Ah, he got into the Quaaludes again.

I thought you weren't coming to the party.

I wasn't but... you'll see her, then you'll understand.

STARCH: Run, kid! Once you see them THEY CAN SEE YOU!

JIM: Waugh. Piss-ler's Mother.

Whaaaat?

STARCH: Response time, two point seven epochs.

Certainly!

See, they're setting up for a game of musical chairs!

Aw, but I don't like to- (ding!)

STARCH: Did I say you could talk?! Your ass belongs to me now, may-yo-naise!

(Jim chuckling)

Join in the games! A party calls for teamwork!

Why, nobody will have any fun unless everyone joins in!

So join in whole-heartedly in any game suggested!

JIM: Abandon your personal desires and meld with the hivemind!

(music starts) STARCH: You spin me right round baby right round like a record...

(music, kids yelling)

JIM: So uh, you think this is the fairy version of community service?

Whoooops!

Remember now...

(ding!) Don't be too noisy or rough.

(ding!) And don't break things.

STARCH: That's gonna be real awkward when they bring out the pinata.

You're out of the game! That's what you get for bumping into things!

Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk.

- Aw, she's only kidding. - Iiiiii know.

JIM: (fairy) I'm just a tightassed killjoy.

Don't tease or make fun of others. Not even your very best friend. They might not understand.

STARCH: It's not like you're going to need to PRACTICE that kind of interaction to fit in with society or anything...

- Then neither of you would have any fun! STARCH: (low) mumble grumble....

Alright, fairy godmother. Uh-oh, the music's starting!

- What do I do? - Why just what you have been doing!

JIM: Drooling and staring into the middle distance. FAIRY: Obey the rules of the game, and...

(ding!) Be a good loser!

STARCH: Well, he's got plenty of practice....

(music, kids chattering)

JIM: (a cappella "Beat It" guitar)

- No, you beat me! - It was a tie.

Hey, that was fun! Actually, you won.

Sure she did! But here Cindy, you show him what I whispered in your ear.

STARCH: (Cindy) Don't you dare call the cops or- JIM: (fairy) No not that!

(ding!) Be a good winner.

And she was! See how much fun it is when you join in the games in the right way?

I just hope I can remember the right ways you've shown us.

JIM: (Dennis) It took me an hour to remember how pants work. (Starch chuckles)

(ding!) Be polite. And above all...

(ding!) Be considerate of others. So have fun together!

STARCH: Hey, who wouldn't have fun knowing their every move is being judged by a reality-bending spectre?

(kids cheering) JIM: Wha?

STARCH: Ah, now this party officially blows.

JIM: She's just sitting on the bell and waiting...

JIM: Wh... whaoh! No! STARCH: Huh?! They're like eight! JIM: No!

STARCH: Lady, you're a freak.

(kids cheering)

JIM: (Cindy) ha ha ha ha ha ha... oh god what did I just touch?!

- Anyone want ice cream and cake? - I do!

STARCH: Yeah, well tough!

- Here, Cindy. Here, Dennis. - Thanks, Mary.

- Where's... - Here I am!

JIM: (Cindy) Aw, shi- I mean great, great!

I bet I know what you were gonna tell us! Remember our table manners when eating.

Well now you've spoiled MY fun.

STARCH: (fairy) Now satiate me with a bowl of cream or I'll bring every puppet to life for thirty miles around!

Oh you've been a big help fairy godmother! I've enjoyed the party...

- So... go ahead and write it for us if you want to. - Sure, we want you to write it for us.

JIM: If you're gonna be a damn martyr over it.

(ding!) Remember your table manners!

You didn't really need my help.

STARCH: Did you shampoo your hair or just lacquer it?

I guess you don't need me anymore. I may as well be going.

- Oh no! - Oh yes.

STARCH: (bored Wonka) Stop, don't, come back.

...unless you need them. And you don't need me anymore.

But you will remember...

JIM: (fart noise) - To leave on time, won't you?

JIM: Yeah, speakin' of leavin'...

(ding!) ...to thank the hostess?

- And whenever we go to any more parties, we'll remember to be clean, and neat, and to be on time.

STARCH: Leave. - And we'll be considerate of others too, we'll join in the games. JIM: Leave.

- And to obey the rules. - And make fun for everybody, not fun of anybody.

JIM: (in the distance) Hey, Cindy, Dennis, why're you talking to the fireplace, you weirdos?

You'll always have fun then.

Because parties are fun when everyone is considerate of others.

STARCH: Wow, we've actually found a fairy more annoying than Navi.

Don't go. Don't go.

JIM: (ultra sarcastic) I REALLY wanna be YOUR friend.

- Don't go... don't go... - Cindy... wake up, Cindy!

STARCH: OH GOD I'M IN HELL oh, it's just you mom. (Jim chuckles)

Cindy, here's Mary's sister Nancy.

She just came by to tell you that she was supposed to deliver your invitation to Mary's party three days ago, but she forgot!

JIM: (Gollum) She speaks not for I have taken her tongue breeaahhh

Oh yes, oh thank you thank you so much.

STARCH: Enjoy the silent penetrating stare of this phastasm from your sleeping mind.

JIM: Young America Films. OBEY AND CONFORM.

STARCH: CONSUME. JIM: BUY.

STARCH: YIELD.

So here's a thought to hang a closing sketch on. What's with all the dreams in these shorts?

Pop culture.

That all you got?

Allow me to exfoliate.

Yeah.

Ah, yeah.

And now, allow me to elucidate.

Three words: The Wizard of O-

FOUR words: Wizard of O-

Four words: The. Wizard. Of. Oz.

That movie would still be very heavy in the pop-culture consciousness of the 1950s.

And when something's popular, it's gonna get imitators.

It set the pattern for kids having mystical learning adventures in dreams where reality and dream blend in unsettling ways.

Eh, I can see that. So that and maybe "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Eeeeeeeehhhhhh... not really.

That one's really a pop culture thing NOW primarily due to being used as...

...holiday airtime filler throughout the 1970s.

That film didn't do well at all on initial release, critical-like or financial-like.

It just kind of got jackhammered into our collective subconscious through sheer banal repetition.

Intriguing.

Lies and sunder! The dreams of Fitties short film-flams is all an elaborate-

Conspiracy. Of course it is.

Yer darn Putin it is! And that's the A1 sauce in my new series:

"Unhinged Mysteries"! The truth will set ya table!

We're really letting the side characters go to town this episode, aren't we?

Ehh, let 'em have this. It keeps them off the streets at least.

As it transpires, this "Fairy Godmother" is but a mere soldier!

In a top-secret squad of Elite Morality Dream Warriors led by none other than Soapy the Germ Fighter!

Thems and the Talking Cars enter your headspaces through the corns syrups we eats, all to lure us into complacency and sub-sequious-ess-ness!

Teaching childrens to place their trust in creatures that enter their dreams to provide advice, at the behest of their masters... FRITO-LAY!

THEY'RE AFTER THE FLAVOR COMBINATIONS OF YOUR DREAMS!!

I mean do you WANT this guy out On the streets?

No, but I don't want him in my closet either!

But these evil monkeys can be stopped, thanks to my new sponsor!

Sponsor?! I thought you said money was a tool of Big Zinc!

That's true and more! Thus, we now accept cryptidcurrencies!

You mean cryptocurrencies?... says the guy who often misuses words himself?

I know what I slurred! We accept crypTIDcurrencies, like squirrel jerky, the stock barter of good of bigfoots!

And like the bigfoots, you can keep your vital thoughts secure and turgid with a daily dose of Skull Power Gamma!

The new triple-action fluoride pill, because the floridization of water was a double-bluff! Now with Vitamin Lead!

But now they're on to me! So I must away to my safe house in the dumpster behind the Kwik Trip

where they're about to dispatch the day-old breakfast burritos, which I need to keep my force shields active!

Oh-kee doh-kee.

All right, where'd he go, where'd he go?!

Oh. You.

Ummm...

Yyyyou keeping safe?

Yes?

Good, good, yeah, yeah, well... um... soooo....

(under breath) Target lost, call off Strike Force Sudsy, repeat, call off Strike Force Sudsy.

Nothing. Ssssoooooooo...

Bye.

(street noises)

How To Study For Finals (NURSING SCHOOL) - Duration: 7:18.

In this video I am going to give you 5 action steps to ace your nursing school finals.

Hey friend, I'm Christina Rafano from nursingschoolofsuccess.com and today, we are talking about how to ace

your final exams.

One of our email subscribers Haley actually got the highest grade in her class, a 98%

from following our study tips.

So today I want to walk you through 5 steps to help you study for your final exams.

And be sure to watch until the very end, because of course, I have a free cheat sheet to give

to you to help you rock your finals.

Let's do it.

So step number one is to go all around your house, your car, your locker if you have one

at school, and your kitchen table, and collect all of your notes from throughout the term.

Seriously, don't forget your kitchen table, you know you've got a gazillion nursing school

things piled up there, I know I did!

So go through all of it, collect all of you class notes, power points, study guides, modules,

and anything else you have.

Just collect it all and get it all in one place.

And now, step number 2, is to organize it all.

So you can do this a couple different ways.

What I liked to do is to actually organize my notes by week of the term.

So I would literally take all of my notes, and organize them by week of the term.

So I'd say, okay these notes are from week one, these are from week 2, and so on.

This worked well for my school because we would usually cover different topics each

week, so by dividing my notes up by week meant that I was also dividing them up by topic.

But, if your school doesn't do that, you can separate your notes by topic if you prefer.

Just make sure you have at least 7 or so different packets of notes.

So once you have collected all of your notes from the entire term, you'll separate them

all by week of the term that you covered them, or by topic, and you'll put them all into

individual packets.

So each packet represents one week of the term or one topic.

And step number 3 is to bust out that highlighter and use it.

And here's the best way to do this: Take one pack at a time, and highlight ONLY the information

that you don't know and don't remember learning.

It might be a lot in the beginning, but don't worry, you'll know it by the end of this.

So go through one packet at a time and highlight what you don't remember.

Now, here's a sticking point for you that I know you'll get hung up on, when you go

through these packets, you're going to feel like you don't know anything.

But that is not true, my friend.

You know more than you think you do.

TRUST yourself.

You know your stuff.

You don't give yourself enough credit for how smart you are.

You are in nursing school, and you are in nursing school for a reason.

You care about becoming the best nurse you can be and I know that you know more than

you realize.

So believe in yourself, and your knowledge.

So as you go through this process, trust what you know.

If you already know something in one of the packets, skip it, don't highlight it.

It's a waste of your time to study something that you already know.

So trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.

Okay, let's move on to step number 4.

After you've separated all of your notes into packets, and highlighted each of the packets,

take one packet at a time, and re-write everything you highlighted on a separate sheet of paper.

This way, you won't be sifting through that huge pile of notes to study, you'll be studying

from a fresh piece of paper and it's just a lot less paper to flip through.

So re-write everything you highlighted on a separate sheet of paper.

And again, don't worry about the things that you didn't highlight, you already know that

stuff.

So you don't need to re-write it because you already know it.

Seriously, you're amazing, you can trust yourself.

And that brings us to step 5, which is to study the new pieces of paper that you transferred

your notes onto.

And not only that, but you need to study them every, single day.

Studying every day will help you actually retain the information, so you're not cramming

for your nursing exam.

You will be studying a little bit every day, and you'll be a lot more prepared for that

nursing school final.

So here is how this goes, every day when you begin studying, highlight again what information

you don't remember.

And again you will transfer only the information you don't know, onto a brand new sheet of

paper.

So every day, you're pulling out your notes, highlighting what you don't remember, re-writing

everything that you highlighted onto a new sheet of paper, and studying only that information.

This way, you're not wasting your time on studying things that you already know!

This is going to save you a ton of time.

So go through and highlight what you don't know, re-write all of that information onto

a fresh piece of paper, and then study only that information.

And as you do this every day, the amount of information you need to study will decrease,

every single day.

Because you're retaining more and more of it!

So that is your 5 step process for studying for final exams: Collect all of your notes,

organize your notes by week or by topic, highlight the information you don't know, re-write everything

that you've highlighted onto fresh new sheets of paper, and study only that information

that you re-wrote, and then just repeat that process of highlighting, re-writing, and studying.

Eventually, you will end up with just one half sheet of paper or less by the time your

final rolls around because you'll have learned it all!

So that is the 5 step process for studying for your finals.

I highly recommend that you start this process early.

You know nursing school is no walk in that park, and studying for finals won't be either.

Don't worry, you've got vacation to look forward to, so you can push through just a little

longer through finals.

You can do it!

I know you can.

And of course, we have a free cheat sheet for you to help you get organized and study

for your finals.

I'll put a link in the description below for you to download that.

If you liked this video, hit the like button below, share it with your friends, and of

course subscribe and hit that bell so you never miss a video.

Thanks for watching and for being awesome.

Now go become the nurse that God created only YOU to be.

I'll catch you next time on the nursing school show.

AI UX | Empower People to Achieve Unique Goals | Intel Software - Duration: 3:02.

This is AI:UX, a mini series focused on 10 guidelines that

were created for all those that are involved in the design

and development of AI based systems.

I am Daria Loi.

And today, I talk about guideline number seven.

Make people feel unique.

And empower them to achieve their unique goals.

Part of human nature is the need to feel special

and to be acknowledged as an individual.

During many interviews, people describe their need

to feel unique throughout their technological interactions.

Feeling too predictable makes them feel uncomfortable.

Not only do people want to feel unique

when they interact with AI, but they

want AI to empower them to achieve their goals,

especially if those goals seems out

of reach too burdensome or complex.

My research shows that AI usages that make

people feel connected with each other

as well as cared for make them feel acknowledged, unique,

stronger, and empowered to achieve personal goals that

are meaningful to them.

It is well known in literature that social connectedness has

a positive impact on people's wellness

and ability to proactively engage

with the world around them.

Knowing that what you need, want, and do matters,

and makes a difference.

Aligned with that, AI systems that focus on companionship,

social connectedness, and mediated social interactions

all offer great design and development opportunities.

This means focusing on applications that connect

instead of isolating its users.

It means offering systems that focus

on those that have less access to social connectedness.

Imagine the opportunities of designing smart home systems

to provide social connectedness to senior citizens.

It also means developing services and systems

that focus on true personalizations,

catering to the specific needs of a specific individuals,

versus offering one size fits all solutions that

were designed for a typology of users instead of a real person.

Imagine designing applications that leverage voice

based systems to offer companionship

to those that, due to reduced mobility,

have less opportunities to directly interact

with the world around them.

Imagine services leveraging audiovisual equipment

to enable someone to have enriched

social interactions, despite physical or economical

limitations.

Imagine an intelligent system that

remembers what you want to achieve,

and that contextually prompts and encourages you,

suggesting the best way forward, given time, situations,

and even the emotional state you're in.

Real Retail TV: Worst Words In Retail - Duration: 6:16.

Hey, it's Bob Negen and this is another episode

of Real Retail TV.

Today, we're going to discuss the worst words in retail.

The dreaded worst words in retail.

So those insidious words, the worst words in retail

are: "can I help you?"

And so many people know that that is the wrong way

to start a sale.

Yet when I shop, when I go up and down the streets here

in Grand Haven, Michigan, when I go to stores,

you know, when I travel.

High-end stores, low-end stores, luxury brands--

everywhere!

So many people use that word.

So if so many people know why it's wrong, why aren't they

doing the right things?

So let's talk about that for just a moment.

First, let's acknowledge that the worst words

are "can I help you".

Now, let's talk about the right way to get into a sale.

And the right way to get into the process

is to start with warm words of welcome.

If somebody comes to a party at your house,

you don't put them to work washing the dishes right away.

No, when they're at the door, you say, hi!

Good evening, good afternoon!

You know, you welcome them.

The people who are coming into your stores are your guests.

Welcome them as such.

When you first greet somebody, which

is where the "can I help you" usually comes in,

that should immediately give them a rush of good feeling.

It should be honest, it should be sincere, it should be real.

These are people who are in your store.

You love to have people in your store.

You're honored that they are in your store.

So give them a genuine, heartfelt greeting.

And then you don't move into a conversation

about the merchandise just yet.

Then you talk about something else, something else that

breaks the ice, something else that

makes them feel more comfortable about giving you

the information you need to sell the merchandise that you sell,

to get them to this thing that I call the Perfect Purchase.

There is another Real Retail TV on the Perfect Purchase,

and there will be a link below.

So you should watch that also.

But let's just recognize that they

feel good because you greeted them correctly,

and then you start to break that ice.

And how do you do that?

One of the things that you could do

is you can comment or compliment.

You can observe what's going on with them.

If you're a pet store, you can--

you know, you can talk about what kind of animal they have

if they have their animal with them,

if they have that dog with them, of course.

You can pet the dog and ask the dog's name.

If you're in a woman's clothing store,

you can observe the person in front of you, your customer,

and maybe comment on something they're wearing.

You love those earrings.

You love that bracelet.

There's always something that you

can talk about that will, again, move it

from the warm words of welcome to move it closer to actually

having a conversation about the merchandise.

So the final thing.

So you can comment, you can compliment,

you can also engage in what we call warm chatter.

You know what warm chatter is?

Talk about the weather.

Everybody can talk about the weather.

We're here in Michigan.

It's cold today.

It was warm yesterday.

It changes all the time.

But the point here, and this is what

the essence of this episode of Real Retail TV,

is you don't say can I help you, because your customer will

say, "no, I'm just looking".

You do greet your customers genuinely, heartfelt,

in an enthusiastic way.

You do engage in some sort of skillful conversation

that makes them feel comfortable talking to you more,

and then you start engaging in conversation

about the merchandise that you carry,

and you start to bring your customer

closer to the perfect purchase.

So your action item, should you choose to accept it,

is to watch what's going on on your floor.

See if people are saying can I help you?

And if they are, coach them.

I would also encourage you to go to retailsalesacademy.com.

And if you want the best retail sales training system

on the planet, sign up.

You know, there are no contracts,

there are no commitments.

The first 30 days have a money back guarantee.

But if you want your team to be great sales people that

give your customers the best possible experience

and put the most possible money in your bank account,

the Retail Sales Academy is one of the best investments you'll

ever make with your business.

So I hope that you found this helpful.

If you have any questions or comments,

please put them down below, and until next time, I'm Bob Negen.

And this is another episode of Real Retail TV.

Why You Should Never Use Wikipedia - Duration: 8:48.

Why You Should Never Use Wikipedia

by Tyler Durden

The latest report about Wikipedia�s corruption comes from the great investigative journalist

Craig Murray, who had been in the UK�s Foreign Service from 1984-2004 and who was forced

out in 2004 because, having been since 2002 UK�s Ambassador to Uzbekistan, he decided

to whistleblow instead of to accept the corruption by his own and Uzbekistan�s Governments.

Wikipedia�s article about him says that his immediately prior posting had involved

participating in enforcement of the prior economic sanctions against Iraq, and �His

group gave daily reports to Margaret Thatcher and John Major. In Murder in Samarkand, he

describes how this experience led him to disbelieve the claims of the UK and US governments in

2002 about Iraqi WMDs.� So, his disenchantment with UK�s foreign policies seems to have

grown over the years, instead of suddenly to have appeared only during the two years

in which he was an Ambassador.

On May 18th, he headlined at his much-followed blog, �The Philip Cross Affair�, and reported:

�133,612 edits to Wikipedia have been made in the name of �Philip Cross' over 14 years.

That�s over 30 edits per day, seven days a week. And I do not use that figuratively:

Wikipedia edits are timed, and if you plot them, the timecard for 'Philip Cross�s'

Wikipedia activity is astonishing ... if it is one individual."

He presents reasons to question that it�s a one-person operation, then states that,

the purpose of the �Philip Cross� operation is systematically to attack and undermine

the reputations of those who are prominent in challenging the dominant corporate and

state media narrative. particularly in foreign affairs. �Philip Cross� also systematically

seeks to burnish the reputations of mainstream media journalists and other figures who are

particularly prominent in pushing neo-con propaganda and in promoting the interests

of Israel�

�Philip Cross��s views happen to be precisely the same political views as those

of Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales has been on twitter the last three

days being actively rude and unpleasant to anybody questioning the activities of Philip

Cross. His commitment to Cross�s freedom to operate on Wikipedia would be rather more

impressive if the Cross operation were not promoting Wales� own opinions. Jimmy Wales

has actively spoken against Jeremy Corbyn, supports the bombing of Syria, supports Israel,

is so much of a Blairite he married Blair�s secretary, and sits on the board of [the neoconservative

and neoliberal] Guardian Media Group Ltd alongside Katherine Viner.

The extreme defensiveness and surliness of Wales� twitter responses on the �Philip

Cross� operation is very revealing. Why do you think he reacts like this? Interestingly

enough. Wikipedia�s UK begging arm, Wikimedia UK, joined in with equal hostile responses

to anyone questioning Cross.

In response, many people sent Jimmy Wales evidence, which he ignored, while his �charity�

got very upset with those questioning the Philip Cross operation.

Wikimedia had arrived uninvited into a twitter thread discussing the �Philip Cross� operation

and had immediately started attacking people questioning Cross�s legitimacy. Can anybody

else see anything �insulting� in my tweet?

I repeat, the coincidence of Philip Cross�s political views with those of Jimmy Wales,

allied to Wales� and Wikimedia�s immediate hostility to anybody questioning the Cross

operation � without needing to look at any evidence � raises a large number of questions.

�Philip Cross� does not attempt to hide his motive or his hatred of those whose Wikipedia

entries he attacks. He openly taunts them on twitter. The obvious unbalance of his edits

is plain for anybody to see.

Among the hundreds of reader-comments to that article, one seems to have come from a Wikipedia-insider,

and is abbreviated here:

Andrew H

May 18, 2018 at 18:49

� Wikipedia is a source of information, and so cannot peddle alternative theories

of any kind. �[and] no doubt there is some political bias that comes into this process.

If you look at the article on the Skripal�s � it is not unreasonable � almost all

statements are supported by references to main stream media articles or statements from

official organisations such as the Russian government, OPCW or UK authorities. This is

what it has to be. (you wouldn�t seriously be suggesting that Wikipedia should have links

to craigmurrary or info from RT?).

I haven't done any scientific study of the sources that are cited in Wikipedia�s many

footnotes and whether sites such as Murray�s and RT are banned from them, but this article

by Murray does suggest that the bias in favor of mainstream, and against small, �news�media,

does adhere to the pattern that�s succinctly stated by �Andrew H." Murray presents remarkable

documentary evidence that this is Wikipedia�s pattern. �Andrew H� seems to believe that

it�s the right pattern to adhere to.

The present writer also has personal experience with Wikipedia that confirms the existence

of this pattern. Among my several articles on that, was �How Wikipedia Lies�, in

which I reported that �Smallwood,� the Wikipedia overseer on Wikipedia�s article

�United Airlines Flight 93� about the 9/11 plane that came down in Pennsylvania,

blocked stating in the text of the article an important fact that was documented even

buried within some of the article�s own footnote sources - all coming from mainstream

media - that Vice President Dick Cheney had ordered that plane to be shot down and that,

therefore, the article�s (and the �news�media�s and �history� books�) common allegations

that resistance on the part of heroic passengers on that plane had had something to do with

the plane�s coming down when and how it did, are all false. �Smallwood� blocked

me from adding to the text a mention that Cheney on the very day of 9/11 admitted that

he had ordered that plane to be shot down and stated his reasons for having done so,

and that the order was promptly fulfilled; and �Smallwood� refused to say why my

addition of Cheney�s role was blocked, other than that to say that that fact �did not

appear constructive.� (He refused to say how, or why.)

Back on 8 July 2015, I had headlined, "Wikipedia As Propaganda Not History � MH17 As An Example�,

and reported and documented regarding the MH17 Malaysian airliner shot down over Ukraine,

that �Wikipedia articles are more propaganda than they are historical accounts. And, often,

their cited sources are misleading, or even false.� The Wikipedia article on that was

anti-Russian propaganda, not a historical account.

As I mentioned in those articles, even Britain�s own BBC had previously headlined, "Wikipedia

'shows CIA page edits�.� What both Murray, and I, in my latest article about Wikipedia,

add to that information regarding some of the people who �edit� Wikipedia, is that

Wikipedia itself, in the individuals whom it hires to nix or else to accept each editorial

change that is being made to a given article, actually also, in effect, writes Wikipedia

articles - and that it does so consistently filtering out facts - no matter how conclusively

proven to be true - that contradict the �news�media�s (and CIA�s) boilerplate �history� of

the given matter. In other words: Wikipedia is a perfect embodiment of the type of society

that was described in the fictional 1949 allegorical novel, 1984.

This is the reason why I never link to a Wikipedia article unless I have independently confirmed

that, regarding the fact for which I cite the given article, that article is honestly

and truly representing that matter, or that given detail of it. I do not exclude truths

that happen to be included in the standard account; but neither do I (as Wikipedia does]

exclude facts which contradict the standard account.

Matthew Charles: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know - Duration: 11:00.

Matthew Charles: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Matthew Charles is a Nashville, Tennessee father and grandfather who won early release under President Obama's commutations for drug offenders, did well on the outside for two years, and then was ordered back to federal prison after a court determined he didn't really qualify for the clemency after all.

Now there is a growing cry for President Donald Trump to step in and give Charles his freedom back.

Support for the man has come everywhere from the conservative Federalist site to celebrity Kim Kardashian.

Charles served 21 out of 35 years for a crack cocaine dealing sentence before he was released from federal prison in 2016.

Although reports say he's done well on the outside, the government has now sent him back to prison to finish out the rest of his term after arguing that Obama's commutations didn't apply to his case.

The government argues that Charles' serious criminal history before the drug dealing, which included a shooting, rendered him ineligible for the sentence reduction.

You can read some of the court records in the case below.

However, Charles' attorneys and supporters argue that he's a "shining example" of rehabilitation and that society is no longer served by putting Matthew Charles back behind bars.

"Charles never had a single disciplinary write-up in over twenty years in prison," court documents filed by Charles' attorneys say.

Taking classes and working, he was a model inmate.

On supervised release, his record is immaculate.

He works full time, does volunteer work to serve the poor, and is a shining example of what a person can, despite felony convictions, make of his life.".

Here's what you need to know:.

Charles Solicited Prayers & Support on Facebook After He Went Back to Prison on the Crack Cocaine-Related Sentence.

Matthew Charles has shared thoughts about his case on Facebook.

"Today, May 14th, isn't going to be a pleasant day for me," he wrote in 2018.

"Those who know me personally or have heard about my situation, and the decision of the Federal prosecution to appeal my release and the Federal Court order sending me back, know that this is the day, I have to report back to Federal prison, (after I've already served nearly 21 actual years and have been out for nearly two years), but now the Court has ordered me to go and serve the remaining time of that old crack cocaine drug sentence imposed on me back in 1996.

He added: "However, I love you all and would like to continue to solicit your prayers and support.

Thank you most kindly." Charles' Facebook page before he went back to prison was filled with photos of food, pictures of him with family and friends, lifting weights, and some religious sayings.

He wrote in April 2018, "Out the door to buy me a cup of coffee and be a blessing.

Whether I receive any or not.

However, whenever you be a blessing, you are automatically blessed.

So strive to be a blessing everyday.

** HAPPY SATURDAY **".

He also wrote about attending church and shared photos from religious services, writing in March 2018, "The worship service was awesome as Todd and his family led us (the entire church family) into the presence of God this morning.

" In essence, his Facebook page shows him living a positive and simple life on the outside, which people who know him have verified in letters to the court.

Celebrities & News Sites Have Come to Charles' Defense.

Kim Kardashian used her massive Twitter following to rally people to Charles' cause.

She shared a Nashville Public Radio story on his plight and wrote, "This man is sentenced to 35 yrs for selling drugs.

He serves over 21 yrs, is released, finds a job, new relationship, starts a new life, & now is being sent back for another 10 yrs because the original release was an error.

This man has completely rehabilitated himself.

So sad.".

It's not only liberal celebrities who want Trump to commute Matthew Charles' sentence or pardon him outright.

The Federalist, a conservative website, wrote a story headlined, "Why President Trump Should Commute The Sentence Of Matthew Charles." The story opines that "In the case of Matthew Charles and others where the criminal justice system has failed, decisive action from a courageous president may be the only hope.".

Concluded the site, "Prisons serve at least two important purposes: one is to punish, another is to rehabilitate.

Charles has been subject to both.

Twenty-one years in prison is a quarter of a lifetime, a heavy price to pay for selling drugs.

He emerged a positive member of society.

This should be celebrated, not reversed.".

Trump has not weighed in on the matter, giving any indication whether he is open to acting on Matthew Charles' behalf.

More than 8,000 people have signed a Change.org petition seeking Matthew Charles' release.

"Matthew Charles does not belong in prison for another day, let alone another decade.

President Trump should use his clemency power to commute the rest of Charles' sentence so he can return to his family and community," the petition reads.

Charles Found a Job, a Serious Relationship & Was a Churchgoing Man on the Outside.

There are many strong indicators that Matthew Charles had been rehabilitated.

According to The Federalist, "Since his release Charles has been a fully employed, church-going member of his community who volunteers and is in a serious romantic relationship.

Now he's losing not only his reprieve, but also the new life he has built.".

The Change.org petition tells a similar story.

"Since his release Matthew has held a steady job, volunteers every Saturday, has reconnected with his family, and began a serious relationship.

He is part of a community in Nashville, TN that strongly opposes this cruel decision to strip away his freedom," the page says.

A sentencing memorandum in the case, filed by the public defenders representing Charles, says that "Charles has not only reformed, but he has developed into an unusually virtuous person." The attorneys attached letters from his employer, from the director of the pantry where he volunteers, from his pastor and others.

"They unequivocally vouch for his character.

In detail they describe how Charles, in his daily life, humbly goes above and beyond to help others.

They say it literally sickens them to think of this thoroughly virtuous man having to return to prison for at least nine more years," the court documents say.

"Charles is being sentenced for having sold 216 grams of crack cocaine.

Back when he sold it, the statutory penalties were wrongfully elevated due to the 100:1 crack-to-powder ratio," the documents say.

"It is crystal clear that society does not need another pound of Charles' flesh to set the moral balance straight," say the documents.

In turn, the government argued, "Based upon the defendant's criminal history, the defendant is a career offender under §4B1.1.

The defendant is also an Armed Career Criminal.".

At a church security seminar: Guns, God and 'get those heads up' when you pray - Duration: 12:56.

At a church security seminar: Guns, God and 'get those heads up' when you pray

LOS ANGELES - Just as the people in Mariners Church began to pull off their hats, bow their heads and close their eyes to pray, Jimmy Meeks snapped at them.

Get those heads up! said the pastor and retired Texas police officer.

Hadnt he just warned them that closing their eyes made them targets? Sheep in the presence of wolves.

Whats wrong with yall?.

Their eyes duly peeled, he then led the crowd in a prayer.

Wherever we are, Father, should the wolf cross our path, give us the wisdom to know what to do with that moment, and give us the power and the courage to act to stop the wolf and protect our sons and daughters.

Churchgoers, preachers and law enforcement officers from across Southern California had gathered for a church security seminar in Huntington Beach hosted by the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which delivered a warning: Faith alone will not protect you in a house of God.

In the sleek sanctuary of Mariners Church, the mostly male crowd sipped coffee, jotted notes and punctured the air with shouts of Amen! and Hooah! as a series of out-of-town speakers at the Sheepdog Seminar encouraged them to be the ones who step up and protect others if, God forbid, an attacker comes.

In the months since a gunman killed 26 people at the First Baptist Church in rural Sutherland Springs, Texas, in November, many people of faith have begun questioning how to keep religious institutions safe, said Rick Travis, executive director of the California Rifle & Pistol Association.

His organization has been inundated with requests for church security training and probably will be hosting events for the next several years, he said.

We dont want people to be afraid, said Travis, a churchgoer himself.

We want people to be knowledgeable..

The seminar happened four days before a mass shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas killed 10 people, mostly students, and reignited the never-ending debate over gun control, the Second Amendment and the place of firearms in American society.

Appearing on Sunday morning news programs, Texas Lt.

Gov.

Dan Patrick said that teachers need to be armed.

He said guns are not the problem.

Guns stop crimes, he said on ABCs This Week. If we take the guns out of society - if you or anyone else thinks that that makes us safer, then Im sad to say that youre mistaken.

That will just give those that are evil.

(the ability) to put more of us in danger..

Were the assembled at the church safety event being told to pack heat in the pews? Not always in so many words - and that wasnt the whole kit and caboodle of advice.

But if youre legally able to carry a gun, the speakers said, its best to do it.

If you do not have an armed presence in your church, you are simply not ready, Meeks said.

If, at times, the speakers were a little circumspect about telling people to carry a weapon, there was a reason.

California has some of the strictest gun laws in the country - and there is overwhelming support for keeping it that way.

Meeks, a self-deprecating man whose voice ranged from the fiery yell of a preacher at an old-fashioned tent revival to a subdued, choked-up whisper, began the eight-hour, $75 seminar with a playful jab at the Golden State.

Wow, its good to be here, Meeks said.

Its not often we get to do a Sheepdog Seminar in a foreign country..

Many at the seminar said they were disturbed because the Sutherland Springs shooting, the deadliest church massacre in modern American history, seemed to quickly fade from the national news cycle, especially compared to recent school shootings.

Travis said he was alarmed by another incident on the same day as the Sutherland Springs attack.

That morning, a man fatally shot his estranged wife and her new boyfriend in the parking lot of St.

Alphonsus Church in Fresno before committing suicide.

The Fresno shooting was eclipsed by the larger killing in Texas and received scant attention outside the city.

I thought, wow, how often does this happen in California and we just dont know about it? Travis said.

Statistically, its exceedingly safe to go to church on Sunday morning, said Dallas Drake, a criminologist at the Center for Homicide Research in Minneapolis.

There is such a vast number of American churches that the number of violent incidents is small.

Its such an affront to our moral sensibilities that someone would even bring a firearm into a church, Drake said.

It really crosses a line that we cannot deal with.

We dont want to see a gun in church.

This is a place where we come for peace and solace..

Drake and other researchers compiled a database of church shootings from 1980 to 2005 and found 139 incidents, an average of 5.5 per year.

But the annual rate doubled in ensuing years.

The Center for Homicide Research has documented 146 shootings from 2006 to 2016, an average of 11 per year, Drake said.

Nearly half of the shooters have some connection to the church.

(The data include only Christian churches, not other houses of worship such as mosques or synagogues, and are limited to shootings.).

There is very little research about violence at faith-based properties, Drake said.

He added that he is concerned by the number of paid church safety trainings he sees and worries that people will take advantage of those who are afraid.

Carl Chinn, a speaker at the Sheepdog Seminar and a Colorado-based security consultant, maintains an extensive database on violent acts at all types of American religious institutions.

Chinn tracked 1,705 deadly force incidents - including abductions and suicides - from January 1999 through December 2017.

About 1,000 involved a gun.

In the Huntington Beach sanctuary, Meeks asked the crowd, Faith without works is what?.

Dead! they yelled back, completing the Bible verse with the same words.

And you might be, too, if you dont have a plan.

In the Orange County city of 200,000 people, the Sheepdog Seminar speakers found a place in Southern California that was not entirely opposed to the gun-friendly ideas they were espousing.

This year, a Huntington Beach resident circulated a proposed initiative, trying to get it on the citys November election ballot, that would make the possession and sale of semi-automatic and automatic guns a felony.

The city responded by suing him, saying the petition was unconstitutional.

But despite pockets of conservatism, California is a state that remains at the forefront of gun control.

Meeks travels around the country conducting Sheepdog Seminars, calling on congregants to prepare for violent attacks.

One of the faultiest beliefs among Christian people is this: Faith is enough to protect us from harm.

Thats not true, Meeks said.

Jesus said the rain falls on the just and the unjust.

To tell me faith is enough to protect? Read your Bible.

It doesnt say that..

Attendees said it can be awkward discussing security in houses of worship because they pride themselves on welcoming all.

Some of the strongest pushback comes from the faithful themselves, said Rabbi Yossi Eilfort, of West Hollywood, who runs a security company in Irvine.

People need to be prepared, rationally, practically thinking, how do we keep our people safe even though were trying to open the doors to everybody? said Eilfort, an Orthodox rabbi who has trained in mixed martial arts.

We dont want to turn people away.

The homeless need the help the most.

But at the same time, we cant rely solely on faith to say things are going to be OK.

Thatd be like shutting off the fire sprinkler systems..

Exercises to Assess & Increase Focus - Duration: 13:51.

So as that happens the attentional muscles in your brain become weaker even when you

are looking at a screen when you're doing one task, the screen is refreshing 60 times per second

Attention is a limited resource we are always distracted by different things if any of you

have noticed in todays day and age we are usaully trying to focus on a single task but

we are used to hyper-scrolling, blinking screens, switching tasks, multi-tasking

All ways to waste and drain attentional resources so as that happens the attentional muscles

in your brain become a little bit weaker and even just looking at a screen even if you

are doing one task the screen is refreshing 60 times a second it's like when you try to

take a picture of your screen and it looks all blurry and weird that's because it's refreshing

60 times a second so even if it looks like you're on one task your attentional resources

are being wasted, okay?

Everyone can relate to this because usually, we're trying to accomplish a task through

our eyes.

I'm looking at a computer screen trying to do something, I'm looking at a person trying

to focus on their exercise, filter out distractions from other parts of the gym.

So we're going to actually use the eyes as a window to training attention.

So, there's visual attention, audible attention, tactile attention, there's closing your eyes

and sitting down and having internal attention that's called mindfulness.

There are all these different types of attention.

So we are going to use the eyes in these particular drills because you can use them while you're

doing exercises.

So how do we assess attention?

Well, you can get a brain scan, a quantitative eeg where they put that cap on your head with

all the gel and check the electrophysical activity, or you can take a brain game assessment

where you're playing some brain games and it comes up with numbers, but right now we

don't have time for that, so what I want you to do with your partner is - you're just going

to stand there, and I want you to stare at my finger, nothing else but my finger, in

fact, if you have a pen, draw a dot on your finger and have them just focus on the dot.

What I want you to tell me is right when your mind starts to wander to anything else but

the finger or you start to get distracted, either by a thought or a sound or someone

else moving around, you tell me.

Okay...

Laughter.

TWO SECONDS!

So you're going to do that three trials per person, take the average amount of seconds

okay?

And be honest, when you get distracted be honest.

Alright everyone be quiet!

No audible stimuli.

Shhhh, everyone be qiet, so no audible distractions just yet, just visual distractions or internal

distractions.

So I kind of got ranges from like 8 seconds to like 33, 22 seconds.

Some people said I could stare forever, that's called hyperfocus.

If you stared forever you're one of those people on a task, your significant other's

trying to talk to you and you don't hear a word they say.

On the other end, there's highly distractible where I'm looking and I can't really focus

on it consistently and it's the opposite of hyperfocus it's really distracting.

Now distractibility and hyperfocus are domains of ADD or ADHD but don't worry about that

it may just be your cognitive characteristic that you're more hyperfocused or more distractible.

So if a client's hyperfocused, what do we want to do?

Get them good at focusing while paying attention to other stimuli - Divided attention.

If they're really distractible get them to hyperfocus or focus while distracting them

Does this make sense to everyone?

This is just for the domain of attention.

So, we're going to run through a couple examples of those two types of drills.

The first one - You're going to take the assessment and replicate the same mechanism.

So take your skills ball and just pick one letter, let's say the "L" and you're going

to say, I want you to stare at the 'L" and don't break your eye contact.

We're going to go for a minute.

If we take the average of what people got and multiply it by two, that's about 60 seconds.

So we're going to go for a minute and you might break your focus, but just like mindfulness

or just like any other drill when you don't do well, just come back to what you're trying

to do and really just try to hyperfocus on the "L" - feel like you're walking around

in the "L" like Alice In Wonderland.

Like weird stuff.

Any strategy to just focus on the "L" get lost in the "L" get flow in the "L" and while

you're doing that, alternating lunges.

So you're doing a task, this is called dual-tasking and dual-tasking is really good

The person looking at it is doing the lunges, making sense?

Laughter.

Alright, so I'm going to time all of you for 60 seconds.

Ready?

And, go!

Okay, so now we're going to switch partners, but we are going to do the pursuit.

And you can really get outside of them as well.

So if your eyes look left, your left lateral chain, your left lateral body will activate.

If your eyes go right, your right lateral body.

If your eyes go up you extensors activate.

If your eyes go down, your flexors activate.

So if we want to use this as a strategy to get a client to activate certain myofascial

change or parts of their body we could.

So if you split your visual system into four quadrants you might find the upper quadrant

on the left, the lower quadrant on the right.

You might have trouble getting your eyes there.

Then we also have visual decoupling, we talked about hip-coupling.

What about decoupling the eyes.

There's research showing that listening to music before executing movement can actually

improve performance, but if it distracting it sucks, right?

It's not going to help you.

But if it's distracting, maybe that's your strategy of adding cognitive weight to the

exercise.

If we throw in distractions or just like Miley Cyrus, you really hate Miley Cyrus and you're

trying to focus on the task and be into it, what if you're listening to Miley Cyrus.

"Clapping," "Random conversation"

And time. Switch!

And, go!

Lunge back and forth, keep going.

And we can distract them with other things, like that.

Laughter.

Or, keep looking at this, as you catch it and throw it back to me, right?

So then we give them a task instead of just an audible distraction,

so maybe a reaction time task.

Really sorry I hit you, I only do that twice a year.

But the idea is, we

have visual, proprioceptive, environmental, and audible stimuli we can mess with and you

can go across the spectrum of hyperfocusing to distracting, and it's different for everybody.

You saw a difference between the different types and that is an assessment.

The exercise becomes the assessment of where your attentional resources are at, right?

And so, as we start to make it more fun for them, you said something about boredom and

challenge.

If the skill level is too high and the challenge is too low you're going to be bored and uninterested.

Keeping it still, that might be too easy for you.

If it's too high of a challenge, I'm throwing the ball at her, that was probably frustrating,

right?

Well you seem really emotionally intelligent so maybe not you, but if I really like pushing

people and they can't be successful at the task then they are going to be frustrated,

if it's too much of a challenge like, I want you to do a gymnastics move and you've never

done that, you might get anxious, and so we want to keep it between the balance of challenge

and skill, which is the flow state.

So the flow state is balance of challenge and skill, you want to find what that is for

your client and induce that state.

Once they get better after a week or two, neuroplasticity, right?

We increase the challenge as their skill increases, just like sports or anything else for that

matter.

With these strategies, we can start introducing it and when we have a balance of challenge

and skill, or it's just fun it becomes play.

Sometimes we don't need to get complicated about subdomains of executive function, do

you struggle with this type of attention, just play and you'll get tons of self-organized

cognitive and physical benefit and social and psychological

benefit within what you're doing.

I want to improve somebody's attention in my practice as a fitness professional, dual-task

activities would be my first go-to.

Dual-task activities can assess and train attentional resources.

BEAUTY LIES | What Cosmetics Companies Aren't Telling You... - Duration: 7:15.

Hi guys!

Today I'll be talking about lies that beauty companies tell you.

If you've never seen me before, my name is Maike, I am a makeup artist and this is my

channel!

I make beauty, lifestyle, makeup, whatever comes to my mind videos, so if at any point

during this video you think you might like something like this, you can always subscribe

down below.

Let's get started!

The first lie beauty companies tell you is that certain products only go on certain areas

on your face, so for example they sell you blush as something that only goes on your

cheek but your very able to use blush on your eyes or anywhere else on your face or on your

body that you would like to.

You don't have to buy separate things for everything, you can use eyeshadow as blush

no problem, you can use lipstick on your eyes.

There are a few exceptions, where there is ingredients that shouldn't really go near

your eyes or on your lips, but generally they will tell you on the packaging if that is

the case.

For example with the Make Up For Ever Flash color case, there are certain colors that

are not supposed to go on the eyes or the lips, so of course you have to respect that

but generally speaking all products can be used everywhere.

The second lie is the free of dot dot dot lie.

So it might say on the packaging free of sulfates, free of parabens, free of silicones, but what

it doesn't tell you is that it's not free of the other toxic ingredient, so yes, it

may very well not have silicones inside, but if you look at the ingredient list it may

have sulfates or parabens.

So this is not really a lie because it is in fact the truth, but saying free of certain

toxic ingredients makes the consumer think that this is you know an organic biological

product that is absolutely safe to use and doesn't have any of the toxic ingredients,

when this is actually not the case at all.

So always look at the ingredient list if you if that is something you look out for.

Don't just trust what it says on the packaging.

Number three.

There was a study in the Journal of Fashion Marketing which proved that only one in five

ads where it says "scientifically proven" or "dermatologically tested" was actually

accurate, so that means that this scientifically proven basically is not controlled as we think

it might be.

People don't check up all the time if this is actually the truth, if there have actually

been studies to scientifically prove how this works and even if there is a study, sometimes

if you look into it, maybe it's a study with like twenty-five or even seventy uh people

in it, which is obviously not a very accurate representation of the whole of human kind

basically.

And if you've noticed at least in Austria always behind the "scientifically proven"

there is an Asterix where you have to find the tiniest text at the bottom or wherever

it's hidden very well um that actually it tells you what the study was.

This doesn't always exist but sometimes you have to always read that and don't just trust

them because it is proven by a study.

This is not necessarily true um so this is definitely a big lie that you should watch

out for.

Lie number four.

Some manufacturers actually use the same formula or a similar formula for the high end version

and the drugstore version of a product.

The difference between these is a few things.

It could be fancier packaging, it could be that the high end product is not completely

manufactured in Asia or somewhere, let's face it most of it is cheaply in Asia um and the

drugstore is actually completely the product and the packaging in assembled in China for

example.

This drastically cuts the cost and sometimes they for the high end product they just add

a different scent that is more floral, what comes to mind when you think of Lancome, in

my mind at least uh you always have that floral kind of scents scent added to it or the texture

is just a tiny bit different which makes it more high end.

So really inform yourself of which brands are actually owned by the same brand, so we

for example we have L'oreal that owns NYX, Lancome, YSL and Essie, so this is a lot of

high-end products and a lot of drugstore products and so these products in the end might actually

be very, very similar, just at a very different price point, because you expect a higher quality

for a certain name.

If I'm buying YSL, I expect the quality to be high just because I associate that name

with a higher quality.

It's all psychological in the end.

If you, you can always try it out and compare um but make sure that you go into it with

an open mind and that you don't you know let yourself fool yourself uh with the brand name.

For example the Lancome Micellar water is pretty much exactly the same with ingredients

and end result as the L'oreal Purifying Micellar solution because this is manufactured by the

same company, probably in the same place even.

And my fifth lie is just something very general but close to my heart.

Beauty companies tell you things like your natural hair color isn't pretty enough, your

eyelashes aren't long enough, you're too fat, you're too skinny, you're too muscular, you're

body hair is gross um you're skin is too light, too dark all these lies because we are forced

into this one beauty standard that is defined by ads, by celebrities, by whatever, where

that is supposed to be beautiful, but you know I know this sounds super cliché but

we are actually all beautiful in our own ways.

If these things are things you wanna change for yourself, that's absolutely no problem

go ahead, I love makeup, I love making my eyelashes insanely not natural because I think

it looks cool, but I also like my eyelashes and everything else the way it is now.

Of course I struggle with it, I think I'm fat I think I have disgusting body hair and

I shave and all that but in the end it makes me feel better and it's not as crushing to

me.

Like I'm, I don't feel like I have to fit in this exact mould, but I've defiantly progressed

on that subject.

Don't let beauty companies define what you should look like, look deep inside yourselves

and see what you want to look like and what you want to be if you don't consider all those

other what other people are telling you to do and then do that, do your thing!
