The World of Elementals � Faeries of the Five Realms..
by Edward Morgan
Come fairies! take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you Upon the wind and dance
Upon the mountains like a flame.
W.B.
Yeats.
The engineering of humanity
�Toy bewitched, made blind by lusts, disinherited of soul � No common centre Man, no common
sire � Knoweth!
A sordid solitary thing mid countless brethren with a lonely heart -Through courts and cities
the smooth savage roams � feeling himself, his own low self, the whole.� Coleridge�s
Religious Musing.
The disconnect
Modern man � the smooth savage with a lonely heart living in high rise �smart� cities
of concrete and glass�.
forced to live by the clock in a bubble of busy business, and compelled by the status
quo to try and be top dog in a dog eat dog world.
Sacred sympathy
Gone is the wonder of childhood- lost is �sacred sympathy�, the flower of imaginative intuition
and the innocence of thought that we experienced in the magical time when we were still connected
to the All, and not yet corrupted by the descent into matter � into 3D density and the world
of materialism, intellect and ego.
Paying the price
�The world is too much with us; late and soon.
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in nature that is ours.�..Wordsworth.
The acute development of our intellect and emphasis on achievement has been realised
at a terrible price.
Material success has robbed us of our connection and perception of the energetic �other-worlds�
which exist all around us.
We can no longer unite with the spiritual beings that vitalise form; no longer connect
with the faerie realms, and have turned our backs upon our divine connection to all life
� the seen and unseen, and in so doing we have lost touch with our true selves.
We are only half alive.
The magical moving powers
Spiritual synchronicity
Some of us never lose our childhood wonder and through all the struggles and turmoils
of our lives manage to keep the magic alive.
We seek out the ageless wisdom of connection�.
forever aspiring to comprehend and blend with the whole.
We become dreamers and poets, explorers of frequencies and subtler systems of being.
And, if our hearts are true, spiritual synchronicity becomes active in our lives.
I was brought up in the Celtic tradition and seances/spirit callings were part of my life.
Later, when I came to America, I was introduced to Lakota thought and philosophy which answered
the questions I had about the nature of elementals, nature spirits, demons and feys.
Skan Skan � the power that moves that which moves
Lakota shaman tell us that there is a mysterious power that vitalises life � a field of unified
energies and forces which create an infinite diversity of form, and holds together the
particles of all manifested objects and beings in the material world.
The force of five
Tesla said: �Think in terms of frequency, energy and vibration.�
There are five of these invisible bands of moving power: stone(solid) water (fluid) fire(heat)
air(gas) and space that surrounds us.
Our five fingers and five toes are sensors for the building blocks of our reality � the
magical force of five.
The medecine wheel � the cangleshka wakan of the Lakota is a sacred symbol found in
many aboriginal cultures.
It is the power of five, the four elements and the space that surrounds them.
In my understanding it is the two dimensional blueprint of our reality.
The Lakota say: �The life of a man is two roads and he can choose which road he walks.�
� the black east/west road of suffering where the heart(4th chakra of air) is at war
with the west (the 2nd chakra of water � emotions) or the north/south road of earth(first chakra)
and fire(third chakra) � the spirit road.
At the centre of the cross roads, the tree of life blooms(awareness) and the hoop(circle)
of all living nations is formed.
All pervading unity of spiritual power
�Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was
the whole hoop of the world.
And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw,
for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things as they must live together like
one being.
And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle,
wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the centre grew one mighty flowering tree
to shelter all the children of one mother and one father.
And I saw that it was holy.� Black Elk.
That Art Thou or You are that
Skan is the invisible underlying energetic force which binds life together in an all
pervading unity.
Separation is an illusion created by duality.
We can find this understanding in the Lakota phrase � Mitakuye Oyasin: we are all related,
and by the Sanskrit phrase: Tat Tvam Asi which roughly translates as either �That art thou�
or �You are that.�
The little people
When we were tribal people, living with nature and free of the stresses and restraints of
modern life, we could see into the invisible realms and communicate with spiritual reality.
Shaman were aware that just as the material world is dual, and by that I mean a love/hate
polarity, the spiritual realms were populated by good and bad spirits.
The negative creatures are known as wakan sica � bad medecine and in my tradition
they are called the Unseelie Court of Faerie.
Sage, sweet grass, cedar, scabious root, agrimony, lavender flowers, and other high frequency
plants are burnt in an effort to dispel negative �spirits and thought forms� from ceremonies,
homes and other dwellings.
Multiple realities sharing our space
�Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.� � Jonathan Swift.
Our visible world is populated by a diversity of beings: mammal, birds, fish, reptiles,
plants etc, and the same rule applies to the invisible, spiritual counterpart of our material
world.
The unseen side of our reality is inhabited by hosts of beings called elementals � spirits
that are electro-magnetically attached to the Skan fields of earth, water, fire, air
and space.
The elemental cosmic forces interpenetrate the earth, and the inhabitants of these hidden
realms are aware of us, even though we are not aware of them.
The watchers
Elementals and other spirits vibrate outside of visible light so we can�t see them � but
they can look into our world at anytime they like.
They are drawn to our emotional state by resonance.
Love, gratitude and joy attract the� good guys�, hate, violence and perverted sexual
energy attract the bad.
At this moment, faerie beings could be standing right in front of us � sitting in the same
chair, and we don�t have a clue there�s anything there.
Sometimes even though we can�t see these invisible beings, we can sense their presence.
We may see a fleeting glimpse of movement on the periphery of our vision, or the feeling
that �something� is with us in the room�watching us.
A creeping chill at the back of our neck when we enter an old house, ruins or cemetery,
and the sudden disappearance of an item that we�re using, only to have it reappear in
a place we know we didn�t put it.
Phonetics, colours and geometrics
The elementals attached to the five bands of moving power have their own phonetics,
colours, perfumes and geometrics pertaining to their element.
These pass-gates were known to the shamans of the past but with the destruction of indigenous
people and their earth based cultures, the sacred knowledge and language was lost.
In today�s world there are few people left who know how to contact the energies of spiritual
reality.
I think the destruction of tribal people and their sacred knowledge was a deliberate act
on the part of a very negative power to close down our awareness and block us from the sacred
side of our dualistic nature.
We have now been spiritually neutered and instead of being able to walk in many worlds
we have been confined to one.
There have been hundreds of thousands of pages written about the faeries of our folklore
and traditions.
We know their form, characteristics, caprices, tribes and lineage, but in my experience with
elementals, I have found that they are electro-magnetic wave patterns.
They have no material shape and can appear to human perception in any form they want,
but normally one that is immediately recognisable to the viewer.
In Lakota country an earth elemental appears as a small wizened man with braids dressed
in buckskin, and the hooved and horned fauns that live in trees are called Can-o-ti-la.
The people of the wood.
A dying planet
�Hell is empty.
All the devils are here.�Shakespeare.
Is this Fact or Fiction?
The plane we call home has become the abode of devils.
Billions of sentient lifeforms are butchered every day for their flesh while countless
others are hunted for sport, trapped, tortured, caged and murdered for so called science,
by soulless beings that masquerade as men.
Millions of innocent people are maimed, murdered and displaced by power crazed demons fighting
over ever dwindling resources � earth is being used up.
My Heartstar Series of books: The Key made of Air � the Gates to Pandemonia and Walking
in Three Worlds are a multi-dimensional mirror of the tragedy that is happening in our dimension
and how it affects the elemental worlds and higher planes of being.
Excerpt from Book three: Walking in Three Worlds.
Long ago in the mists of time, the realms of Humanity, Faerie, and High Faerie were
all one world, with the sentient creatures of all three realms living in harmony with
each other.
But evil entered the world of humankind.
The Cathac, the great horned serpent from the stars, insinuated his thoughts of conquest
into the dreams of chieftains, filling them with pride, a lust for war, and murderous
intent.
When the stars aligned and formed a glittering pentagon in the sky, the Cathac had attacked
the triad world of Faerie.
Long and bloody was the battle.
The Cathac had druid sorcerers in his ranks.
With dark spells, he ripped the world of Humanity away from Faerie and made its inhabitants
mortal.
The Cathac � the horned serpent from the stars
According to Irish Mythology the Cathac or Cata, a gigantic flesh eating sea serpent
was vanquished by St Senan in 534 AD.
A carving depicting the Cathac is in the old chapel of Kilrush in County Clare.
The head of the Cathac can be seen in the first outcropping and other faces can be seen
in the Cliffs of Moher which in my novels are called the Gates to Pandemonia.
Imprisoned in stone
In Book three of my HeartStar Series: Walking in Three Worlds we find a different account
of the vanquishing of the Cathac, and we are told how the Cliffs of Moher were formed by
the giants Finn McCoul and his brother Uall McCarn.
As night fell, Uall had heard rumbling and the beating of great wings in the sky.
In plumes of fire and smoke, he had seen Braxach arrive at the Giant�s Cliffs with Duir,
the father of dwarves, riding on his back.
They had been pursuing the legions of devils and demons that had followed the Cathac in
his murderous rampage along the coast.
The dragon had settled on the beach and given them a fiery snort of greeting.
Duir slid off his back.
As Braxach took to the air once more, the dwarf king had told Uall and Finn of his and
Braxach�s plan to trap the Cathac, saying that he needed the giants� help to do it.
The sea had been calm and shadowy under a fitful moon as they waited in the darkness
for the Cathac to attack.
The air grew cold, and then with a churning of the waters, the Cathac had raised its horned
head and, coiling its gargantuan bulk, struck at them with gaping jaws.
As the Cathac attacked, Braxach had sent a blast of fire into the monster�s eyes.
The giants had ripped up the rock and earth in front of them, forming a great wall thousands
of feet high.
Blinded, the Cathac did not see the upraised cliff and slammed into the rock face.
Duir was waiting.
Once the Cathac�s body had made contact with the stone, Duir had called out to the
burning lakes of liquid fire deep beneath the earth for aid.
With his hands, the dwarf sire had woven a stone spell of molten lava and then cast the
magma stream around the monster.
Singing in the language of the stone,he had hardened the burning liquid into rock, trapping
the Cathac within a sarcophagus of enchanted stone.

POWERFULL BADASS MV AGUSTA DRAGSTER | GRIMOTO GARAGE - Duration: 4:00.
hello welcome to grimoto garage
in this video
we will excite you
with a little 'noise at the dyno
from our Dragster 800 RR
the target
as well as have some fun
It was to understand
the increase in power
when changing the air filter
at the bike, initially
we put
the Exhaust
and the increase in power
It was not too bad
No, that's right
initially we had a motorcycle
that, when on the dyno, reached
128,2 HP
only fitting
manifold
with an open exhaust
make us to reach
134.3 HP
which is not bad
original air filter..
on another dyno
The first test is 135.8 HP
Then we took the test
mounting on
an air filter panel from MWR
we have...
stolen to an our F3
we came to 138.2 HP
and then, not enough with this results
we watched
the motorbike
and we have said
"We believe wecan obtain"
"Something more"
so we changed completely
the air suction system of the bike
we took off
its original air manifold
which are used to send the pressurized air to the airbox
and our Sam
who enjoyed with minisaw
and minigrinder
made two resin conduct
to let air directly into in the airbox
you, say
the original manifold
are almost like restrictors
more than conduits
It seems to want to get less air
of what actually needed
now the company will get angry
we instead
we wanted to go further
we made this KIT
and this KIT has brought us
to a result of...
an exciting result of...
146.8 HP
almost 147 HP
which it is an increase in power
well...
Not to laugh about
we started out, however, that
the series motorcycle has
128 HP
128,2 HP
so you do the math
now I have no time to do the math
what was the goal?
of course being able to drive it
good!
must be fluid
It must be perfectly carbureted
and then
We spent time
to refine the mapping to the dyno
and now we mount
a data acquisition system
to test the bike on the road
and having
all carburetion data
on the road
to be able to have so
also partialized
and also throughout the erogation
perfectly carbureted
and clean
Good! Have fun at the dyno!

THE RIDE ENDED AT THE TEMPLE | A ride with the locals in Kyoto! - Duration: 11:48.
So after searching for the Yam man in Ono,
we drove a really long way down to Kyoto
and we were hoping to get to Blanky Dog bike shop before they closed
We wanted to find out if there was any good riding in Kyoto
But when we go there
"Oh, why don't you just ride with me and my friends tomorrow?"
So, that's what we did!
So, we're out for a ride!
Yuka: Yes, we are
Yuka: Seven of us!
Is there seven people?
Yes!
That's crazy
It's beautiful in here, isn't it?
It's hot, isn't it?
Yuka: It's hot
Ya
Pants?
Hot?
So, it was actually 22c that day
or 71f
Which is pretty unreal by Canadian standards
In November
Oh, ya
It's Kyoto city
You know, it's interesting
in Canada, if you're going to be pedaling up on a road
99% of the time it's going to be gravel
but in Japan
99% of the time it's going to be paved
It's seems like they've paved most of the mountain roads
Even if they don't go anywhere
Alright, first trail ride in Kyoto
It's slippery
Lot's of leaves again
That's okay
Oh! Chain! Chain, chain, chain
Ya, okay
Are you ready?
Yes!
Shall we?
I've lost my camera!
Oh sh*t!
Oh! Camera!
Ya
Camera
On the tree
Yuka: On the tree, ya
Oh, there you go
Let's go
Are you ready?
Yes
Ya?
Yuka: Good job, guys!
So, did you guys go over the log?
No, I went around
Around? Could you go around there?
Ya?
Sweet
He knows the trail!
Almost off the edge!
Oh, nice!
Yuka: That's a good one
Cool!
That was fun
Yup!
It's dry!
So many rocks here
Ya, it's more rocks, ya
It's nice
There was a berm with a big rock
That's right
That was cool
That's good
The rock was quite unique
Like a rock face
Yes, yes, yes
I haven't seen it in Japan
I like the
The rocks
Ya?
Ya, you can go over and like, you know?
Yup, a little bit more like Canada
Ya! Exactly, like Canada
We'll go along the bamboo forest
then go to the Kaisen restaurant
shall we?
go through the temple?
You wanna eat lunch with them?
Oh, sure, yup!
Oh ya!
Oh, bamboo forest!
Yuka: Did you like the trail?
That was good
You should wheelie too
Wheelie?
Oh, you can go all the way!
And then off the end
I hope there's more
Oh, this is cool
Yuka: Oh, bamboo forest!
Yuka: Oh, I should take picture
Ya, maybe picture time
We're really tourists now
Yuka: Ya, we are, baby
Bamboo forests is not something we get in Canada
So cool
Ah, temple
Cool, right?
Ya, so cool
Oharano Shrine
This is the side torii
It's not the front gate
Oh, so it's big enough to have a side gate
Hello
So I just said hello as I was passing through that torii gate
In Japanese culture, when you pass through a torii gate
and say konnichiwa
You're basically saying hello to the gods
I don't know why I do it, but it's just kind of fun I guess
Alright
??
Right
Put some water
Yup
Wash your mouth
Okay
Wash your hands
done
This is first temple I've seen with deer
Not temple! Shrine!
Oh, shrine!
First shrine I've seen with deer
You have a.. want a money?
Oh, ya, okay okay
We gonna do the bow and clap?
It looks amazing!
Great view!
It's nice and atmospheric
One of the guys actually turned out to be a monk
He had to leave a bit early
Because he had to go to the temple, I guess
But ya, we were quite taken aback
like, "oh, it's a mountain biking monk!"
But I do know of mountain biking pastors in Canada
So I guess, you know, it's the same thing
Little cafe!
but they have a kaisen don
Kaisen? Whats that?
Seafood don
This is a cafe
But their seafood rice bowl is very delicious
I know!
So unique
Kaisen don is really good here
Oh, we're going upstairs
Okay, take my shoes off
You wanna sit here?
Sure, it helps, ya
So Yuka asked if I wanted to sit against the wall there
And that's because, as a westerner,
I'm not used to sitting on the floor at all
but every Japanese person grows up
sitting on the floor, crossing their legs
I'm so inflexible that
I need to sit down with my back against the wall
and my legs basically straight out
okay
good!
there we go
Cool
Smells good
*Yuka sniffing intensely*
Tasty!
Next week on BCpov
Jordan Boostmaster,
The Loam Ranger
and I head down to Bellingham, Washington
to meet Daily MTB Rider
It's the Canadian invasion!
Oh, this trail is so good!
-------------------------------------------
The Illusionary Allure of Hedge Funds - Duration: 7:24.
I've talked before about the tendency of investors to feel like they deserve more than
the plain old market return.
This seems to be especially true as people build more wealth.
Anybody can buy index funds.
More sophisticated investments have high minimums, or require you to be an accredited investor.
The pinnacle of what I am describing is investing in hedge funds.
Hedge funds are exclusive, elite, expensive, and lightly regulated financial products.
There are about 3.3 trillion dollars invested in hedge funds globally, and they continue
to grow as an asset class, despite suffering from continued performance that lags a portfolio
of low-cost index funds.
I'm Ben Felix, Associate Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital.
In this episode of common sense investing I will tell you why hedge funds don't hedge.
The first hedge fund was set up by Alfred W. Jones in 1949.
His fund, A.W. Jones & Co, was the first fund to invest in stocks with leverage while using
short selling to remove market risk.
He structured the fund as a limited partnership to avoid regulation.
None of this innovation would have mattered except for one important detail:
the fund did really really well.
We know that funds that have done well in the past are no more likely to do well in
the future, but Jones' success was publicized in Fortune magazine, and hedge funds were born.
Today there are a lot of different hedge fund strategies.
They are typically designed to have performance that is uncorrelated with the market.
The Credit Suisse hedge fund index shows that hedge funds have done an ok job at accomplishing this goal.
While relatively low correlation with other asset classes can be seen as a good thing
in an overall portfolio, the high costs, low returns, and additional risks of owning hedge
funds must be considered.
Hedge funds command high fees due to the supposed skill of their managers.
They will typically charge 1-2% of the assets under management, plus 20% of any excess performance.
In a 2001 study "Hedge Fund Performance 1990 - 2000: Do the 'Money Machines' Really
Add Value" Harry M. Kat and Gaurav S. Amin found that the weak relationship between stock
returns and hedge fund returns is not attributable to manager skill, but to the general type
of strategy that hedge funds follow.
Any fund manager following a typical long/short type strategy can be expected to show low
systemic exposure to the market, whether he has special skills or not.
This leads to the question of why investors would pay such high fees.
The exclusive nature of hedge funds would lead most people to believe that they must have high returns.
This is refuted by the data.
The Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index shows an annualized return of 7.71% from January 1994
through November 2017, while a globally diversified equity index fund portfolio returned 9.19%
over the same time period.
Even a much more conservative index fund portfolio consisting of 60% stocks and 40% bonds outperformed
the hedge fund index, returning an average of 7.75% over the same time period.
Between high fees, lacking evidence of manager skill, and low average returns,
hedge funds aren't sounding so good.
Wait until I tell you about the risks.
Hedge funds do not have the same kind of liquidity that an ETF or mutual fund has.
Investing in a hedge fund will typically involve a lock-up period during which your funds
are not accessible.
After the lock-up, hedge funds can suspend investors' ability to withdraw from the
fund at their discretion.
That would typically happen at the worst possible time, like if the fund was crashing.
One of the pitches of hedge funds is that they are less risky than stocks, as shown
by their relatively low standard deviation of returns.
Standard deviation does not tell the whole story.
Hedge fund returns exhibit negative skewness and high kurtosis.
In plain English, that means that most investors lose while a few winners win big
and the funds exhibit exceptionally high and low returns with greater frequency than would be expected
in a normal distribution.
One of the reasons that they seem exotic is that hedge funds can invest in anything.
It might be cool to tell people about over dinner, but in reality, it means that the
riskiness of the underlying assets can be more extreme than you might expect.
A 2000 study by AQR Capital Management found that many hedge funds were taking on significantly
greater risk than their benchmarks by investing in illiquid assets.
Illiquid assets could result in outperformance due to the illiquidity premium, but investors
may have been taking on far more risk than they realized.
Hedge funds also employ leverage.
The combination of illiquid assets and leverage can be disastrous for hedge funds during bad
markets, especially if investors start to ask for their money back.
A worst-case scenario would see the hedge fund having to unwind illiquid positions at
a significant discount, resulting in losses for investors.
Despite the hype about low correlation, hedge funds are a poor combination with stocks.
While we know that hedge funds have a somewhat low correlation with the stock market, that
correlation can become high at the worst possible times.
This is exactly what happened in both the 1998 and 2007 financial crises.
So while the correlation data may look good on paper, it may not be very useful in practice.
Even if there are hedge funds out there with great returns, remember that past performance
is a terrible predictor of future results.
One prolific example of this is the Tiger Fund.
It was formed in 1980 with ten million dollars and went on to average returns over 30% for
the next 18 years.
Wow.
By 1998, it had over 22 billion under management, most of that coming from new investors wanting
to get in on the performance.
Tiger then stumbled badly, losing ten billion dollars, before closing completely in 2000.
The funny or sad thing is that while the fund still shows a 25% average annual return, it is estimated
that most investors lost money because they invested after all of the great returns
had already happened.
High profile hedge fund failures have not stopped many investors from allocating capital
to hedge funds.
One of the largest failures, Long Term Capital Management, cost billions of dollars and almost
resulted in a global financial crisis.
That was in the '90s, and hedge funds have continued to grow since then.
In 2014, CalPERS, a massive California pension fund and one of the leaders in the institutional
investment space, made the decision to exit hedge funds as an asset class in their portfolio.
They made the decision to shut down their hedge fund program primarily due to the program's
cost, complexity, and risk.
Other large pension funds have since followed suit.
Warren Buffett famously won a 10-year million dollar bet against a hedge fund manager who
was allowed to select five hedge funds to beat the S&P 500 index.
The index won out easily.
Buffet can't predict the future, but the odds were certainly in his favour.
I definitely do not recommend hedge funds in the portfolios that I oversee.
Do you invest in hedge funds?
I'd love to hear about your experience in the comments.
Thanks for watching.

Why You're Failing to Reach Your Goals - Smart Goal Setting - Duration: 18:53.
what's going on guys today I want to talk to you about why you're failing
when you're setting your goals and what SMART goal setting actually is now first
and foremost bear with me I got a couple of lights in here I wanted to get my
lighting in here but for some reason it was reflecting off the light board and
it did the white board not the light board and it looked a little strange now
I'm gonna talk to you today about how I go ahead and set my goals so that you
can benefit off that and set more specific goals so that you know what it
takes to get you from point A to point B because regardless of what you said you
know whether they're broad are specific what most people don't realize is it's
the action it's it's the it's it's the action in between the points that are
actually going to get you to the to where you want to go and where you want
to be so they leave that out they say oh you know even if it's abroad if they're
saying you know oh I want to make 10 grand a month more that's too broad
obviously even if they're specific and they say oh I want to make 10 grand a
month more from this income stream and this game income stream in this income
stream and I also want to do it you know for these reasons that's great that's
better but you're still not being specific enough with your goals I'm
gonna run through that here with you today so I'm gonna show you how I set my
my goals up and this specifically will be for my income streams and I'm gonna
go over them in a second but but I'm gonna set it up in four different four
different boxes here so we have a whole grid I'm gonna run you through my income
streams on the left one right here there's nine slots here because I have
nine main income streams now now the difference is the middle so there's four
I'm sorry so income streams is first then the in the middle right here the
left middle we have the difference and then the right is now and your goal so
that might not make sense right now I'm gonna run through it for you here in a
second and it's really gonna help you get to your goals trust me on that
so another thing too if you can't see this it's a little bit dark so I'm gonna
read them off too so if you can't see it that well don't worry and also apologize
for my handwriting because I'm a lefty and it's very difficult for me to write
on whiteboards because I'm a lefty and I obviously smear this stuff so I kind of
- right like with the ballpoint of the pen so I have it all down right here now
these are generalizations of my urn they're kind of close but they're not
specific obviously as an entrepreneur and you know making money online in
e-commerce and marketing those vary from month to month but I'm gonna run through
them here for you in a second so I'm gonna write my income streams down for
you really fast and then I'll go through the whole goal-setting with you so you
get it you understand and you can do it too so first and foremost now is
teachable so teachable is number one and before we get into these two if you guys
are gonna grab go ahead and grab a whiteboard like this I suggest that you
do it I'll drop a couple of whiteboard maybe one or two whiteboards that I
bought I have a couple in my apartment um if you want to check them out but be
in the description obviously those are affiliate links you don't have to
purchase through my affiliate links I just figured I would because I really
think that whether you do it on you know paper on notepads or you kind of
visualize it and obviously we're in my room here so I literally wake up my
bed's right behind you and I rarely film in here but I literally wake up and I
see this board and it really helps me because I know okay what are my income
streams what am i making now what are my goals to make and what do I have to do
what's the difference so to get me from point A to point B what's the difference
what do I have to do to get there and that's that I literally wake up when I
see that every single day on this big whiteboard in my room and it really
helps me kind of get there and really understand what its gonna take for me to
actually get there so if you guys want to check them out obviously on top of
that teachable my income stir my main horse basically going over how to make
money you know with you to me all that's linked in the description
that's my premium course check it out if you want I'll talk about a little bit
more but let's just jump right into this because I think it's cool so first we
have teachable let me get you to me obviously I'm big udemy instructor we're
gonna run through these fast and I'm gonna skill share like I said ignore my
handwriting I can't write lefty like this YouTube is number four number five
is affiliate earnings so affiliate earnings much like that whiteboard I
just suggest suggested to you then arbitrage
and private labeling I'm gonna show all these two in a second don't worry if you
can't see him then eBay then finally my website now our iron income and a little
bit of a few other ways maybe like two or three maybe four realistically guess
it's three but I'm kind of moving away from them so these are where my focus is
at right now so when I wake up I want to see these and grant it I erase this so I
could go through it with you but these are always up on this board right here
so then finally what I'm making now roughly with teachable I'm selling about
I believe it's four courses a week so I think it's six K and I just launched so
obviously that could change that's what I expect to make monthly now so this is
monthly my goals so if I if I settle for courses a week at six
that's what is it yeah roughly that's a little bit under six grand a month I
believe now my goal for that is about 18 K which is about one a day
so Mike ourselves for 595 that's about one a day and a 30-day month so that's
my goal now to get what's gonna take me from point from now what I'm earning now
to my goal from 6 km up to 18 km unthe well I have to write those things down
that could be specific on what its gonna take so I know what to devote my energy
my attention to on a daily basis to get me there right so I wrote down just a
couple of ideas you know I need more YouTube videos to
market them subtly obviously kind of like this one which will the will be
promotions in but obviously I always bring value to you guys outside of the
promotions if you don't want to purchase the course you don't want to purchase
the affiliate link so you totally don't have to do that I still give you value
in ideas and mindsets and marketing strategies online as well as ways to
make money and the majority of my courses sell for 10 bucks
obviously when I have you know I'm selling other courses in my description
there $10 discount links so literally $10 to make thousands of dollars online
1,000% worth it obviously my premium course there's a lot more value in Voss
that's why it sells so much and the difference here is more YouTube videos
so I know I need to focus my attention on more YouTube videos I'll just
abbreviate to keep it short for you guys I need to start running ads not ads
although I need to I need to improve my ABS here in the summer too and I need a
free webinar to draw people in so free webinars so more YouTube videos ads and
free webinar all things I'm slowly working on now I'm recording this
obviously I'm gonna put a bunch of these videos out because I'm actually on
vacation in Europe right now with my girlfriend but I will be back on the 7th
and then we'll pick up with the live stuff but this is a lot of great stuff
for you guys and I hope that you're taking advantage of this knowledge and
this approach to goal-setting because it's really been instrumental in my
growth you know as an entrepreneur so fine second we have udemy now udemy's
been a big earner for me and it's been consistent and literally what my entire
premium course is based around its basically selling on udemy with both
udemy courses and affiliate links through your courses which you actually
make a lot more with affiliate links and you actually do selling your $10 courses
on udemy but you still make a decent amount on udemy trust me on that so you
and me right now I'm making roughly 5km month and that's been fluctuating but
this month I'm scheduled to make a little bit over five now that can go up
and down some months but realistically you earn about 100 to 200 of course
depending on your course on average so right now I have I believe it's 35 to 40
is it it's 38 course or something like that
and I'm earning a little bit over that right now at 5k now my goal is 10k a
month consistently on you me now this is passive and on top of the passiveness
here all these are digital products so with stuff like that I'm gonna talk
about here in a second with the arbitrage and private labeling and the
eBay those are all physical products that I have to source and I have to pay
you know inventory have to pay I have to pay packs to run to them I have to do
all those things whereas stuff like unum and teachable
and Skillshare and YouTube videos and my website are all that's what my premium
course entails we're using the instructor Pro and it's all basically
you know free this is obviously a promo a little bit but it's it's it's it's one
of my % valid because it's it's literally month free money that you're
making you don't have to pay any start-up costs you don't have to pay for
any inventory you have to run any ads necessarily unless you really want to
scale and get profitable but it's literally free money for you from your
mind and I literally started you to me and made free money from my mind and I'm
telling you there's a lot of potential there there's no competition so like I
said I'm making 5k now my goal is 10 and the difference is I want to get to 100
courses so that's a little bit of lowball if I'm get a hundred courses I
should probably making more than 10k a month but that's just a lowball goal I
like to kind of lowball my goals and kind of tamper not not a get ridiculous
with my expectations because if I exceed that great if not then I know I can
always make more courses especially on you to me so the difference is 100
courses so like I said I got 60 more to go and when I get back from my Europe
trip I will literally be scaling this up this will be my entire focus with
courses next is skill chair and I'm actually making 0 on Skillshare right
now but the goal is 1k a month on Skillshare now that just like you to me
is a course site but I actually got kicked off the skill chair three
different times in the past and I'm just kind of getting back on it with my new
IP address in my new apartment so the goal there is 10 courses and my goal is
to make it 1k just another income stream now this is I'm showing the SMART goal
setting here and how you actually can actually go about doing this so remember
we have income streams what you're making now what your goal is and you
don't have to just do your income streams here it can literally be
anything goal wise you want to know do you know what what that goal is now or
what you're making now or where you're at now what where you want to be and
what it's gonna take to get you there so those are the three main keys now next
is YouTube and right now on YouTube I'm making a little bit over 300 but we'll
just tamp temperate at 300 then we'll go to 1k is the goal so I'm gonna be making
a grand which isn't that crazy or far off in ad revenue just ad revenue on
YouTube per month so what what's a good benchmark obviously any more
YouTube videos but that's a little bit too that's that's not specific enough so
my goal right now is to hit 20k subs which I don't think I'm too far off I'm
run roughly approaching 5,000 right now but if I could scale if I could get a
couple videos that hit hard and really kind of go viral slightly I can get
there relatively soon I think I can definitely get there by the end of the
year um if not you know a couple months from now if I can find some good
heavy-hitting videos now the next is affiliate earnings now right now with
affiliate earnings I'm earning about 1.5 K per month and I plan on scaling that
up now the reason for that is a lot of
different things I haven't been looking at my YouTube videos as much with
affiliate earnings which is why I plugged the the the white board I
haven't been linking with my courses a lot I just go having kind of scaling
down and haven't really you know plugged any new courses are created to many new
courses but this should significantly increase so I'm just gonna double that
that's kind of a temperate expectation and we're gonna say 3 K but like I said
you can make a lot more on affiliate earnings and actually that's one of the
best business models outside of you know content creation and creating courses
but they go hand in hand so you don't need to choose and the difference with
those is obviously so more courses which is crucial more courses means more
affiliate links in your courses more opportunities for people to click them
I also need more YouTube videos and I need better links which is crucial
because you can sell one example that I proves to bunny and a lot of my youtube
videos but that only makes me about 4 to 5 dollars per person so better one might
be you know one that jungle Scout or Shopify trials that are gonna pay you
more every single time people are in them or Wix or you know in editing
software like Premiere Pro or something like that it's gonna pay me a hundred
bucks per person that converts so I want better of links and then I don't have to
come as many people so better links and
obviously a blog and blogs coming soon on my website so that will give me a
chance to put more affiliate links in that blog on a different place with more
opportunity for people see it and I actually get a lot of you know traffic
to my website as it is so maybe people will read the blog and they like
something they'll purchase through an affiliate link so I'm excited about that
that's coming soon um then we have arbitrage so arbitrage is 5k and I
actually plan on keeping that at 5k because like we always talked about here
yours trading your time for money with arbitrage even though you can make a
decent amount and if I have an entire course on arbitrage you guys will check
it out I'll link it in the description for you I have an entire course on
private lending as well that I'll be linked in the description to a lot of
these courses if you're interested in them will be linked in the description
so like I said arbitrage right here is 5 km month um and for that I just need to
I just need more products just keep finding more products it's literally
that's my clinic keeping it the same I don't really plan on scaling it up too
much now a private labeling I do plan on scaling that up a lot I haven't actually
been focused on private labeling a lot because I've been focusing on a lot of
content creation but as soon as I get back I have an idea for one that I'm a
one product that's been successful for me recently that I need to restock and
get back into inventory and I also plan on getting another good product on top
of the three that I already had that are good for me so right now with with
private labeling I'm earning about 1.5 K and granted these are these are like
these aren't all you know Oh I earn this every month or these are just kind of
projections and things that I expect to earn now they fluctuate like I said in
the beginning so with private labeling my goal is to hit 5k a month and the
difference there is just to more profitable such good products so I'll
just say two more plus products and obviously to restock my inventory
because I ran out of inventory cuz they don't plan on you know kind of scaling
up right now because I'm obviously taking my trip and then next is eBay I
just put this up here because I'm gonna about it in a future video that I'm
gonna do here talking about the importance of you know diversify your
income streams and nothing too reliable on one trust me that's something that's
a crucial step that I wish I would have learned earlier on in the
entrepreneurial process as many of you know I got this is my amazon seller
account suspended and that was you know kind of my the arbitrage one but still a
big hit to my income and it just kind of opened my eyes to the fact that you know
holy shit I need to kind of diversify so right now with eBay I'm only earning 300
a month and that's fine I'm keeping that at 300 a month I'm not scaling eBay up
but it's just a diversification technique so that I can basically get
procs in and get reviews and rank my feedback up so I can become a top rated
seller on eBay so that if anything when Amazon goes down I'm not too married to
Amazon I can hopefully morph over to eBay and sell there so that's just a you
know a future strategy in case that happens I'm not really trying to make
money with eBay right now I'm literally listing products on there that self--
repeat and just looking for a good feedback source to rank my account with
my website right now I'm earning about 500 a month
nothing crazy and the goal is to K a month I don't know if you can see that
all the way at the bottom so 500 to 2k and the difference there is obviously
the blog that's coming soon like I said so blog that's terrible writing with the
affiliate links will just abbreviate with affiliate links there then
obviously I plan on putting my courses into bundles because I only sell them
all separates as $10 links on my website and I also sell the all course fumble
but I plan on bundling a bunch of different packages too that are relevant
so if somebody wants to buy like a marketing package or someone wants to
buy like five of my drop shipping courses as a package they get not only a
better deal but I make more money because I'm selling in a bunch of
courses at once instead of you know just just one or two so it makes sense from a
strap from a marketing strategy perspective as well as an e-commerce
perspective so so affiliate links bundles bundles and then I don't know
what this says oh videos embedded on my blog series so I'm gonna obviously I've
read videos embedded in my blog you know to generate more traffic you know it's
my you channel so I can sell more affiliate
links and stuff like that bring more traffic to my website and so on and so
forth so that's basically the gist of it guys I wanted to go over this today
because I think it's really important not only for you to write this stuff
down because there's something about writing
it down tangibly that you know you see it you remember and you're like okay
this is what I need to do but also whether it's your income streams or it's
your goals you know whatever it is you need to set these things up so that you
know you know where are you now on weight where you know what what your
your attention is at where your attention is at right now and what's
making you where you want to be and then finally and most important what it's
actually going to take you to get there so that's I want to talk about that
today I hope you guys really like this video I put a lot of thought into it I
think it's a really good valuable lesson like I said if you want any of these
courses that will be linked in the description if you want to hop on my you
to me instructor Pro course link in the description as well as the affiliate
links that I plugged for the white board but I'm going to bring that to you today
because obviously I'm traveling and I wanted to schedule this video and I will
see you when I get back on the 7th

How to Create a Better Timber Setup - Duration: 5:24.
- It's time for a timber takeover!
I'm Matt Drury,
and this is Gamekeeper edition of DODTV.
This Segment of DODTV
is brought to you by Mossy Oak Gamekeepers,
your ultimate resource
for wildlife and land management.
(percussive music)
It's always exciting
when you get your hands on a new piece of dirt.
One of the first things people do
is usually figure out
where all those food plot locations should be.
But what about timber?
Well, you're in luck.
We're hitting the hardwoods
with Brian and Cody,
and they're gonna give us some tips
on timber stand improvement.
(reverent music)
- So, we are out here today
on one of our 40-acre properties here in Nebraska.
With all of your hunting properties,
you want to learn
as much as you can about them.
And so, this particular piece of property,
I wanted to learn a lot more
about the tree habitat that I have here.
So I called up one of my friends
at the Game and Parks Commission,
and basically, they recommended
that I thin out a lot of the Siberian elm
as much as possible.
So, to thin out the trees,
they recommended that I do two different things.
Number one is called a hack and squirt method.
We're using the hack and squirt method.
It's honestly really simple.
I got a little hatchet here,
and I'm using a herbicide called Tordon,
which is specifically for trees.
So it's literally simple.
You wanna come down at an angle,
so that way when you spray in,
it stays in that tree.
And that's it.
(industrious rock music)
Another thing you wanna watch out for is,
when you hack it and spray,
you wanna make sure that the spray,
especially the wind,
doesn't blow a lot of that spray around,
because it'll kill all the plants that it touches.
For larger trees,
you may want to give it a couple of hacks.
The biggest thing
with the hack and squirt method,
is that you wanna do it before the spring green-up.
And so, in the fall,
all the nutrients of the trees are
getting pushed down into the roots for winter dormancy.
And then, during spring green-up,
it's pushing back up.
Well, here in Nebraska,
it's still plenty cold out,
but if we waited another month to do this,
we may be in a little bit of trouble,
and our work would be less effective.
The second method that they advise
that I could do to thin out the Siberian elm
is actually called girdling.
And it's basically taking away
a ring of bark around the tree,
which kills it, as well.
- Now when you're girdling,
you gotta be aware of the hazards
that are around you.
Just like this branch here
is in the way of walking around it.
We'll chop that off,
and be aware of the debris around the tree trunks,
so your feet don't get tangled,
and you trip with the chainsaw.
Safety is key.
(chainsaw buzzing)
(industrious music)
- Now that you've taken care
of the invasive tree species,
the next stop on this tour
is to figure out how to create
a better bedding area for your deer.
Hinge cutting is one way to do this.
This creates cover for the deer,
while also providing good browse for food.
Let's get back with Cody and Brian
and go through some hinge cutting.
- Well, we've chosen this particular location
to create a bedding habitat,
because it is adjacent to one of our food plots.
If they bed here,
they're gonna feel nice and safe.
We can access and exit the food plot
and our stand location
without these deer ever knowing it.
However, it's close enough
that they'll get up during daylight hours
and get to the food plot
with plenty of time left
for us to hunt them.
- As a rule of thumb,
I like to cut three quarters of the way through the tree,
about hip-high
and perpendicular to the ground.
(chainsaw buzzing)
(industrious music)
- So, hinge cutting can create food,
it can create cover,
and it can create safety.
This particular hinge cut
is exactly what we like to see.
It laid on the ground perfectly.
It's still connected,
so there's still plenty of tree
to push the nutrients out to the top.
But one of the neatest things is,
because it's only a couple feet off the ground,
the sunlight has plenty of room
to touch the forest floor,
and the sprouts that will come up here
will give deer something to browse on
for years to come.
- Now that you have the tools
to create a thriving habitat,
it's time to get your hands dirty,
and get some work done.

Quick Tip - How To Cover Up Breakouts With Makeup - Foundation and Concealer Routine - Duration: 7:37.
Hi guys so for today's video I like to share a quick tip with you on how we can
cover up your breakouts and pimples since this is the right moment I would
like to film it right now since my face is full of pimples and breakouts and
this is also why I like to just mention a few things before I'm going to move on
to the makeup application so when it comes to the breakouts for me it happens
once a month before I'm getting my period so for one or two weeks I have
beautiful skin and I don't have to worry about anything and then it just happens
and I'm breaking out like crazy and I just hope that you might have also the
same situation and this is also the time where you're not feeling comfortable and
you just want to cover up everything because you're not feeling comfortable
with your skin because of your breakouts and then it also happens that when
you're nervous then you're going to pop them out or scratch on them I'm guilty
because I'm doing the same thing and this is also because I'm so nervous that
I'm going to scratch on them and this will make it worse because then it gets
red and it also will bleed and this is also why I like to mention at first that
if you can and if you're feeling alright with it you're not going to wear any
makeup during that time so that the healing process just can be completed
and that you're not having any scars left because this can also happen when
you're scratching a lot of them and then it also is important that when you're
going to apply any makeup then that everything is clean so if your brushes
are clean that your hands are clean so that you're not going to smear around
any bacterias and also when you're going to apply some makeup you're wound where
the breakout was should be completely healed so that you can't get anything in
and just make a huge infection because we don't want that and this will just
make it worse so now let's stuff with actual makeup so what I'm going to do it
first is I'm going to apply some moisturizer on my face you could do it
with a brush or with your fingers I'm going to take my fingers which are clean
so that I'm not going to just get any bacterias into any other places where I
don't want them so I'm going to apply a little bit on my face
so and now for the next step we are going to apply some concealer if you have
breakouts which are wheely red and also like the circle around it is so red then
I would recommend going for a greenish concealer because this will just
neutralize the redness for my breakouts at the moment I just like to go with a
skin toned concealer which is well this one is in a creamy consistency so the
coverage of the concealer will be better as your foundation, just choose a
concealer brush and just apply them on the breakouts where you really need it
so I just have applied a little bit of concealer just on the areas where my
breakouts are so you are not going to spread all your concealer over your face
because we are just wanted to keep the main coverage on the breakout so that
the rest of your makeup will be natural and also it won't feel that heavy so now
we are going to take some translucent powder and a fluffy brush and apply this
on the breakouts so take your fluffy eyeshadow brush and also some
translucent powder and just place this on the places well on the areas where
you just have applied the concealer so that later on when you are going to
apply a BB cream or foundation it won't move
so now we have set the concealer with some powder and now we can move on to
the foundation and now you can just apply it light-handed with a brush or
with your Beauty Blender and you won't move the concealer underneath because of
the powder now you just can apply your foundation onto your face you can use a
Beauty Blender or a foundation brush but be light-handed because we don't want to
overdo it and it's not about the full coverage because we have used a
concealer underneath
so this is not my face with some foundation on and only well the only
three makeup products while to makeup products and one skin care is
moisturizer concealer and foundation that's it and this will give me enough
coverage so that you won't see my breakouts anymore of course you can't
really hide the bump from any pimples but you still can hide the redness which
is so important because this will make it worse like this will look worse and
it's so important that you're washing your brushes correctly so that you're
not going to mix any bacterias in some open wounds and then even though if I
have open woundes you are not going to apply any makeup and you're not going to
smear around any further infections for your face because we don't want to make
it worse that it is already so we just want to make it better and then when
you're taking off your makeup it's also so important that you're going to clean
your face correctly so just use cleansers use peelings use the right
moisturize us and also just well at first also use of makeup wipes but then
your skin needs to be clean when you're going to bed this is the key point that
you're taking of your makeup everytime you are going to sleep because
then your skin can breathe your skin just can do the healing process and all
that stuff it's so important so please always when you're going to bed take
your makeup off this is important and then also you well you will see that
your skin just will do the healing process and it will get better
each day and this is also the end of the tutorial
I hope that you like it and I hope that these quick tips were helpful for you
thank you so much for watching if you want to see another quick tip this is a
right here and if you like to be subscribed to my channel this is right
in the corner thank you so much for watching and I will see you soon in the

Janelle Monae Says Sexuality, Gender, Race & More Are Our Attributes In 'Dirty Computer' | Pull Up - Duration: 6:01.
What's up, guys? I'm Jamila Mustafa with BET Social and I'm here with...
Janelle Monae and I just pulled up.
- Pulled up. - Skrrt skrrt.
I like that Car brake.
Alright, so of course, the fit is fly.
- You know, and so I had to come... - Thank you.
I had to come with my best, you know, I still cannot hold a candlestick.
You talk about what you're getting excited for
and your everyday life is pretty much preparing for
when Dirty Computer is gonna hit and it's here and so...
For those that have seen it, of course, you know,
they may have so many questions like me, I feel like I'm watching a movie,
I gotta keep going back and putting together pieces.
But for those that have yet to turn on their computers,
what are they in store for?
You know, I knew that I needed to make this album
before I even released my first album, The ArchAndroid.
I felt a responsibility to the story of Cindi Mayweather
and if you haven't heard The ArchAndroid and The Electric Lady,
it centers around an android that is set in 2719.
A heroic, protagonist, messiac figure and Dirty Computer is more near future.
It's more...
More about Janelle Monae, it comes from a very honest,
a deeply vulnerable place and I think that's why it took me a while to do it.
'Cause I dunno if I was really ready to go there, I needed to live with me,
I needed to have experiences.
I needed-- yeah, I needed to be inspired, I needed to-- to just be, you know,
I needed to be patient with myself.
I didn't wanna come out with another project
until I had something to say and I do have a lot to say.
I think this album deals with what it means to come from the dirt.
Like, we come from the dirt.
When we go on to another frequency, in my opinion,
our physical selves will go back to the dirt.
I also had this dream, this whole thought when I was making the project,
about how we are computers, how our brains are CPUs.
How we're uploading, we're downloading, we're processing,
we're transmitting information back and forth.
And some of us were told that the way we were created
hold these bugs and these viruses, these things that make us unique.
Whether it's our sexuality, whether it's because we're black,
whether it's because we're women, whether it's because we're poor.
You know, I'm just naming a few of these marginalized groups,
but some people say that those are bugs, those are viruses
and Dirty Computer is saying,
"No, those are our attributes, those are features."
You know, this helps make the world better.
And I tell you, electric, is the first word I thought.
I mean, from start to finish, it is electric.
But let's talk about--
I don't wanna keep talking about stuff that some of you guys didn't see yet.
- So hurry up and see it. - But go see it.
Let's talk about something that we've all seen and we all love,
it inspired my pants today.
- Now, come on now, the "Pynk"! - Yes, I love those pants!
- Whoa, that video. - Yes, thank you.
So different, but yet so you
and I was kinda nervous watching it like, "Should I see this part or...?"
But it was beautiful at the same time, it was-- it was--
I dunno how I felt watching it, how did you feel making it?
Man, I felt free, I felt liberated, I felt...
Celebratory, I felt... I felt supported.
I was around a lot of black girl magic.
If you look at the visual and if you even watch the emotion picture,
it's full of black girl magic.
You know, people like you, you know, people like--
All these women who are in this room really inspired Dirty Computer
and I wanted to make an anthem for us, you know, all of us.
No matter if you were or were not born, you know, as a woman.
I think that we can still come together and unite and when we come together,
it's a beautiful thing.
And I gotta say this, in your videos, on tour, when you hit the stage,
you, like you said, you always incorporate women
and you have like, a gang of girls that are like, super dope
and just as cool as you are.
In your real life, do you have your core group of girlfriends?
Absolutely, yeah, I think that-- That "Pynk" mirrors, you know,
the type of women that I hang out with.
We support each other, we love each other.
I don't wanna give away too much.
I think it's so fresh, people need to listen to the project,
listen to the music, listen, you know, to the emotion picture
and just take it in, you know, I don't wanna talk over it.
But, what I will say is this project is a bit more vulnerable and honest
and, I mean, if you listen to songs like "Django Jane",
if you listen to "Pynk", if you listen to "Make Me Feel",
I didn't filter myself much, I usually do a lot of self editing.
Like going into the studio before I record and I'm like,
"I don't wanna talk about this, I don't wanna talk about that."
And then I end up not recording anything.
But this time I told myself that, edit after.
You know, allow yourself that place of freedom.
- I have to just ask one more question, - Sure.
because I absolutely love the film entirety.
One of my favorite outfits was a--
You had a little jacket on, it was a crop top jacket,
it was like pink see-through.
So many looks were definitely in this entire visual,
can you just give me one item of clothing that you absolutely loved,
that you definitely think is going to be a signature piece?
Oh gosh, that's really hard!
I mean, you have the...
The looks in "Pynk", I think you're talking about "Screwed",
then "Make Me Feel", "Django Jane".
It's really difficult.
It's a difficult one, you tell me which looks you like.
- You like the jacket? - I love the jacket.
I love that jacket too, it's a red, see-through, kinda plastic, yeah.
It's very afro-futuristic but it's like 80s...
What size is it, girl? Is that small?
- You can borrow it. - Ohh!
- Alright then. - I'll let you borrow it.
There we go and you guys are gonna have to get your own!
Because she only has one for me.
So don't forget to check it out, make sure you check it out
and I'm proud of everything that you do.
- Thank you so much for pulling up. - Thank you, I'm humbled.
Guys, I am Jamila Mustafa
and we are here with the beautiful and talented Janelle Monae
and she just pulled up.
