Hi, I'm Joni Eareckson Tada.
And we say it all the time to each other: "God bless you."
I love that phrase "God bless you."
And if you're like me, you mean it;
you really do.
And you know what?
God means it as well.
He really wants to bless His children.
He likes that phrase.
Like when you open to the book of Psalms, the first thing God does as you read, is to bless you.
Take Psalm 1...
There it says, "Blessed that is happy, blessed, happy is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or standing in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers."
Blessed is that person.
Happy you will be if you avoid bad advice, shun temptation, and stay away from old friends
who entice you the wrong way.
Because it is God's disposition to bless you.
He is so inclined, He is so ready to shower pleasure and gladness on your day, on your dry shriveled soul.
no
His intentions are bent on making you glad in Him.
It's something God delights to do out of the greatness of his heart.
So, friend, be blessed - but then, pass on that blessing!
May it be in your disposition to bless others.
Let it be the measure of your character as you extend God's grace and shower favor and
mercy on everyone around you - the very people you know who need His touch as much as you.

DIY- Step by Step Modeling Dress Half Godê and Cavado. - Duration: 9:59.
Hello everyone, everything good? In today's class we will work with one more modeling and
For this class I will use the base with pence, you're new here at
channel is to know how to use this correct base and do all the
changes see the lesson link in the description of the video, then watch
class and then back here for the video, if you want to draw your
Zero base also has the video lesson with step by step to plot the mold
basic blouse with pence. Attended the class you will copy the mold front and back
up to waist height, It's the first thing I always do.
explain, right, this mold is a sleeveless dress so you have to make one
change in the cava, you will open a pence in the cellar, close and transfer to
the pence of bust is, to know how to do this you will attend part 4 of class
I left it here in the description. Then watch the lesson, do this transfer and return to
finish the modeling, made this transfer we will now make a pence transfer.
this one, you will measure the shoulder will go mark the middle of the shoulder, will pick up the ruler
and will draw a line linking this part of the shoulder until the meeting of the pences.
All right? We are using much this transfer is, but here the
models are matching to use the same type of transfer. It will mark the middle of the
basic mold already have this marking but You can mark the middle of the cava and it goes
squad up that line and you traced it on the shoulder.
Now you're going to go up 1 centimeter on that line and there's a risk
make the shoulder curve, now we're going just cut the curve of the cave in the
true, then what am I going to do? I'll open and scratch the shoulder pence, now I go
cut out this line I did on the shoulder. Why? Because when I cut
this pence I open space to close the bust pence, so I will cut and I will pass
glue on pence bust, which is already open because I had already done the transfer
previous in the cellar. to close the dig and now I'll pass glue
to close it is very important that you watch
Classes references, I say that you have to watch, because you have to attend anyway!
you are initiating Do you have to attend classes that I
I recommend it because they are important right, so there are people who want to learn but do not want to
to study, that's complicated. I closed the bust pence and now I go
cut from the waist to separate the my clipping, you have to let it dry
well the glue before you cut people, that's why mine got a little open there.
So I cut it, now I have the cut and this is where I go
also cut where I made the risk that is the part of the cutout of the cava.
I'll cut the cava and separate the two parts.
All right, well, I said, I always stay. talking, it gets repetitive it has to
watch the videos I put in the description of the video.
a lot of people ask questions I know you asking, why did not see the video,
Do you want to learn, do you have to attend classes? ne people It's the least of it.
, then it's ready there at the front, then I'll add to the
because this mold is without seam allowance.
There is only remembering and then, I have to take two centimeters below.
So it's a means, I'll take one centimeter in the neckline, then I'll take a
centimeter on the top I'll mark an inch on the
down and I will retrace the decode, not need to open pence to retrace this
neckline because the difference is very small, so I'm just taking an inch off the
neckline curve OK ! Also, I'm going to take two
centimeters in the bar, because it in this dress, then two centimeters
on the bar, then I'll take two inches on the waist because I put
a track of 4 then I'll take two, in the range is 4, but two will
Come out, okay! I cut and finished the front modeling.
and I'll put a centimeter of seam allowance all over the mold.
Okay, where I write, it's because you place on the folded fabric and the
mold always positioned in the direction of the halo of the fabric.
but the seam margin is one centimeter for all sides, because
This dress is going to be all built-in. OK! Then his little body will also be lined. Fine !
then this part of the middle will cut double and
twice and this other side of the side that the front 2, you will cut four
times, now let's work with the modeling the back, modeling the
It's very simple here, I'll mark the half of the cava again and squares, I go
climb 1 centimeter It's looking like it's crooked because the camera's turned.
is turned, but is squared, I'm going to take two centimeters and also
same I took the front and I cut, and now I'll just cut it out
This outfit will not have a way have a cut in the back so I go
Take your time off your back! In case and separate in two parts,
so I'm going to cut the pence to drop, retirement to pence and will become a record
Okay, and I'm going to put an inch of stitching and everything, I'm going, too.
talk again that you are beginning you have to watch all the
videos reference is the videos of reference I leave in the description of the
then always see the description of the video what I'm suggesting to you
to watch because it is important for classrooms
one class is a prerequisite of the other learn have to watch everything ne people
For the love, my love. OK! I just clipped it and I'll put the
seam margins, but I'm going to take a centimeter neckline,
because I took it in the front neckline, right? so I'll take an inch in general and
I'll check if the shoulder is getting married. The shoulder is not getting married. I'm going to take it.
All the leftovers in the cleavage and I'm going to draw a sharp curve, just to get the excess.
Because the shoulders have to marry, even more that this body will be
all inlaid,
This dress is going to be all done on the line.
all embedded, so there it is the middle back, then you will cut with the folded fabric
and will add one centimeter there of seam allowance in all parts.
Once you have done this you back, this dress will have a zipper on the
then at the time of cutting and sewing
I'll show him he'll have a zipper on the side
OK because he is well acted. Then it's ready, okay? Now you're going to cut
straight into the fabric I'll just explain there, a range is the measure of the
waist but two centimeters to the closure and with the fulfillment of six
centimeters I have already added to the seam allowance, so it will be a
waistline, + two centimeters and 6 centimeters high.
This is the middle band of the dress, fine! Now this skirt can be made
with half godê or with a godê four cloths, but we are going to work with the half Godê. So how do you do the modeling a godê half? you're going to double
the fabric in half and it will pick up the waist measurement - 3, then will take the measurement of the waist contour,
subtract 3 after divide by 3, the amount you
find you will bookmark this one tissue room, you do it right in the
fabric, then let's suppose I found 5 after I did this measurement, then what I
I will make? I'm going to score 5 in all this This environment is okay! You have to dial
five correct, there is five is the measure what you think, but I'm giving you a
For example, you have to carefully mark this measurement by placing the tape
metric to not give beak in her skirt, so what's the rule? You take the measure of the
from the waist, subtract three inches and divide by three.
This is the rule of the middle godê tá! folding the fabric this way I'm talking about,
then you will pick up and go round again, right?
the skirt with the length measurement plus one centimeter for sewing
from the top, plus the measure of the bar plus two centimeters and will mark and circulate just as I
I'm doing, So what's the rule there? It's the
length you want from the skirt, plus one centimeter for the upper seam and
more to the measure of the bar plus 0.5 cm that the bar is variable, depends on the
size you want then this is the fulfillment and
draw your skirt there. When you do that, I'll show you
It's better that we cut people, not people. does this actually direct and
in the fabric will look like this, so I have a paper folded in half, I traced
following the rules I explained to you and now I'll cut it out when
cut, I'll have my half godé, that will stay that way.
There it is, and that middle part is the waistline.
there you will bend the fabric, aura with aura,
who will stay the compliment when you draw the length will stay in the
Aura sense, can you see? When you draw Only that you'll be big and
You will cut the fabric so you fold only once, aurela aurala
and will position the mold to make your modeling is there you make the measurements
Like I explained, I'll show you that. in the cut video, okay? Then the amendment and
skirt will have an amendment only from the skirt, stays to the direction of the fabric's aura.
Okay, so your modeling is ready if you have any questions
I left it to me in the comments is a Kiss and see you in the next class.
a video if you liked it and if you go also does not even let me know that you are
Arriving the channel, it's a kiss, okay?

The secret circle that controls governments - Duration: 10:26.
The secret circle that controls governments
by Jon Rappoport
Note: I have many new readers, and they have not read this article of mine, which I first
posted several years ago.
Here it is�
Who is in charge of destroying economies?
One group has been virtually forgotten.
Its influence is enormous.
It has existed since 1973.
It�s called the Trilateral Commission (TC).
Keep in mind that the original stated goal of the TC was to create �a new international
economic order.�
In the run-up to his inauguration after the 2008 presidential election, Obama was tutored
by the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
In 1969, four years before birthing the TC with David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski
wrote: �[The] nation state as a fundamental unit of man�s organized life has ceased
to be the principal creative force.
International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are
far in advance of the political concepts of the nation state.�
Goodbye, separate nations.
Any doubt on the question of TC goals is answered by David Rockefeller himself, the founder
of the TC, in his Memoirs (2003): �Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal
working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and
me as �internationalists� and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more
integrated global political and economic structure�one world, if you will.
If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.�
Patrick Wood, author of Trilaterals Over Washington, points out there are only 87 members of the
Trilateral Commission who live in America.
Obama appointed eleven of them to posts in his administration.
For example: Tim Geithner, Treasury Secretary; James Jones, National Security Advisor;
Paul Volker, Chairman, Economic Recovery Committee; Dennis Blair, Director of National Intelligence.
Here is a stunning piece of forgotten history, a 1978 conversation between a US reporter
and two members of the Trilateral Commission.
(Source: Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management; ed.
by Holly Sklar, 1980, South End Press, Pages 192-3).
The conversation was public knowledge at the time.
Anyone who was anyone in Washington politics, in media, in think-tanks, had access to it.
Understood its meaning.
But no one shouted from the rooftops.
No one used the conversation to force a scandal.
No one protested loudly.
The conversation revealed that the entire basis of the US Constitution had been torpedoed,
that the people who were running US national policy (which includes trade treaties) were
agents of an elite shadow group.
No question about it.
And yet: official silence.
Media silence.
The Dept. of Justice made no moves, Congress undertook no serious inquiries, and the President,
Jimmy Carter, issued no statements.
Carter was himself an agent of the Trilateral Commission in the White House.
He had been plucked from obscurity by David Rockefeller, and through elite TC press connections,
vaulted into the spotlight as a pre-eminent choice for the Presidency.
The following 1978 conversation featured reporter, Jeremiah Novak, and two Trilateral Commission
members, Karl Kaiser and Richard Cooper.
The interview took up the issue of who exactly, during President Carter�s administration,
was formulating US economic and political policy.
The careless and off-hand attitude of Trilateralists Kaiser and Cooper is astonishing.
It�s as if they�re saying, �What we�re revealing is already out in the open, it�s
too late to do anything about it, why are you so worked up, we�ve already won��
NOVAK (the reporter): Is it true that a private [Trilateral committee] led by Henry Owen of
the US and made up of [Trilateral] representatives of the US, UK, West Germany, Japan, France
and the EEC is coordinating the economic and political policies of the Trilateral countries
[which would include the US]?
COOPER: Yes, they have met three times.
NOVAK: Yet, in your recent paper you state that this committee should remain informal
because to formalize �this function might well prove offensive to some of the Trilateral
and other countries which do not take part.� Who are you afraid of?
KAISER: Many countries in Europe would resent the dominant role that West Germany plays
at these [Trilateral] meetings.
COOPER: Many people still live in a world of separate nations, and they would resent
such coordination [of policy].
NOVAK: But this [Trilateral] committee is essential to your whole policy.
How can you keep it a secret or fail to try to get popular support [for its decisions
on how Trilateral member nations will conduct their economic and political policies]?
COOPER: Well, I guess it�s the press� job to publicize it.
NOVAK: Yes, but why doesn�t President Carter come out with it and tell the American people
that [US] economic and political power is being coordinated by a [Trilateral] committee
made up of Henry Owen and six others?
After all, if [US] policy is being made on a multinational level, the people should know.
COOPER: President Carter and Secretary of State Vance have constantly alluded to this
in their speeches.
[a lie]
KAISER: It just hasn�t become an issue.
This interview slipped under the mainstream media radar, which is to say, it was buried.
US (and other nations�) economic and political policy run by a committee of the Trilateral
Commission�the Commission created in 1973 by David Rockefeller and his sidekick, Zbigniew
Brzezinski.
When Carter won the presidential election (1976), his aide, Hamilton Jordan, said that
if after the inauguration, Cy Vance and Brzezinski came on board as secretary of state and national
security adviser, �We�ve lost.
And I�ll quit.� Lost�because both men were powerful members of the Trilateral Commission
and their appointment to key positions would signal a surrender of White House control
to the Commission.
Vance and Brzezinski were appointed secretary of state and national security adviser, as
Jordan feared.
But he didn�t quit.
He became Carter�s chief of staff.
Now consider the vast propaganda efforts of the past 40 years, on so many levels, to install
the idea that all nations and peoples of the world are a single Collective.
From a very high level of political and economic power, this propaganda op has had the objective
of grooming the population for a planet that is one coagulated mass, run and managed by
one force.
A central engine of that force is the Trilateral Commission.
How does a shadowy group like the TC accomplish its goal?
One basic strategy is: destabilize nations; ruin their economies; send millions and millions
of manufacturing jobs off to places where virtual slave labor does the work; adding
insult to injury, export the cheap products of those slave-factories back to the nations
who lost the jobs and further undercut domestic manufacturers, forcing them to close their
doors and fire still more employees.
And then solve that economic chaos by bringing order.
What kind of order?
Eventually, one planet, with national borders erased, under one management system, with
a planned global economy, �to restore stability,� �for the good of all, for lasting harmony.�
The top Trilateral players, in 2008, had their man in the White House, another formerly obscure
individual like Jimmy Carter: Barack Obama.
They had new trade treaties on the planning table.
After Obama was inaugurated for his first term, he shocked and astonished his own advisors,
who expected him, as the first order of business, to address the unemployment issue in America.
He shocked them by ignoring the number-one concern of Americans, and instead decided
to opt for his disastrous national health insurance policy�Obamacare.
Obama never had any intention of trying to dig America out of the crash of 2008.
That wasn�t why he was put in the Oval Office.
He could, and would, pretend to bring back the economy, with fudged numbers and distorted
standards.
But really and truly, create good-paying jobs for many, many Americans?
Not on the TC agenda.
Not in the cards.
It was counter-productive to the TC plan: further undermine the economy�
So that, one day, a student would ask his teacher, �What happened to the United States?�
And the teacher would say, �It was a criminal enterprise based on individual freedom.
Fortunately, our leaders rescued the people and taught them the superior nature of HARMONY
AND COOPERATION.�
�The rough, uneven, and challenged nationalism surfacing in a number of countries is evidence
that many people are waking up from the Trilateral-induced trance�

How Drake Uses The 48 Laws Of Power - Law #15 Crush Your Enemy Totally Reaction! - Duration: 5:33.
What's guys your little crabs here welcome back to another

10:30 at night right now and it may be like a different time zone for some of you
But for me for Eastham time. It's 10:30, so we'll be back into
How Drake uses the 48 laws of power
law number 15 crush your enemies
Totally so about Drake. I really love Jake he's a really good musician or
Kind of a rapper. I'm not sure but otherwise Jake Drake is my favorite artist
my favorite song is probably God's plan and
enemies or energy
So those two of my favorite Drake songs
but otherwise I just
Reacted ham just like
Suggest this to me so I was like why now let's just react to it because I'm bored and yeah
So otherwise guys. I hope you guys enjoyed. Let's get this started three two one go
Low 15
enemy totally
In July 2015 Meek Mill attack Drake on Twitter and threatened his credibility as a songwriter
Meek Mill thought that Drake day write his versatile Meek Mill song Rico
He attained some of the reference tracks from the drinking quit Miller recording sessions
Drake responded with charged up a lukewarm response to see what me cannabis leaves
When four days elapsed in trade a hair song response for me trade trunk back to back a song that went on to be grammy-nominated
and became a summer anthem
Meek Mill responded with want to know but the popular consensus was that Drake won the battle
Let's dissect the play-by-play on the strategy
Drake dropped a lukewarm response suggesting me because straight thought that my strategy was well thought out a
You know who else was involved in this situation
When he seen that me dead have a plan he was just being emotional
Drink on leash when he knew would be a song that his fans and people will react well to
He also took pointers from Eminem's eighth mile battle and when he described himself as a singing nigga
Taking away some of the criticisms that me came jabbing with
He also was still tension for me can mix own city by shower now. AR AB or former friend of me
He got me to get distracted on taking shots at AOA his crew even though they
Say anything bad about me
Drink also planted the seed of meat not being a breadwinner in the relationship between him and Nicki Minaj and foreshadowing with no breaking up
Also, he kept the war going by taking pictures with Nicki when they broke up and hopping on a song to take subtle jabs that
Meet when he charmed in between high and hip-hop artists from your mom
trick also befriended a lot of potential allies that meat could have employed to stage a
Mainstream come back like tory lanez who drank out since befriended 21 savage Drake has befriended
bought a car and their features for an
amigos who is put into the spotlight by Drake and
Continues the praise and the finger it from his other enemies like xxx since hey Co
Drink also teased another diss record at his ovo. Fest called 3p to subliminally
Let me know he have more material if he wants to go back and forth
summary
Unlike me Drake didn't leave anything up to chance
He made sure to crush his enemy totally
Although the fight was ultimately concluded by the public
Kicks at the base of what me stood on that made him successful in the first place
Being aggressive battle rapper and stripped him of it. Yeah
Like his alliance with Nicki Minaj and a relationship with Tory Lanez and nullified it if you find yourself in the situation
Similar to this where someone is putting you in the position to defend your reputation
Take aim at their nostrums and turn it to their weakness
Strike fast and make sure every move count or it might be a last one
Make sure to tune in next week Monday at 12 p.m.. Noon eastern time for another video on the laws of power
Okay, so
It says that I think he was like in a relationship with Nicki Minaj and some other chick
Okay, um I heard
Probably a few songs of Nicki Minaj
well, I could say she's pretty good and also that that's
So Drake is basically a rapper then so it's not like a musician or a rapper. It's both
I don't know what to say
Like nothing really happened in this video just like picture with like a voiceover
So otherwise guys if you guys enjoyed it, please make sure to drop that like button and
Otherwise we'll take it from there. I hope the guys enjoyed and I will see you in the next video. Goodbye

Bless Online Combat Gamplay - NEW Revamped Combat System for NA/EU - Duration: 6:18.
What's good, it's fevir.
Today we're going to go over the first official look - at the new combat system and gameplay
for Bless Online.
Combat is one of the systems they were looking to rebuild and restructure before they brought
the game to us and was their primary concern according to their Dev Talks.. and easily
is the thing the community has wanted to see the most from the rebuild.
So in total we got a gameplay video for the 5 classes that we can expect, I'll link to
them individually below- if you follow Bless Online apart from this upcoming launch then
hearing 5 classes might make you wonder what we aren't getting.. and it's the Mystic and
the Assassin that won't be available to us immediately.
This first class that you're seeing is the Berserker.. giant axe.. spin to win.. charged
based attacks.. now what I want to draw focus to here first .. is the stance system.
You'll see these two icons.. and they control the first 3 ability selections... and you
can swap between the stances... and that changes those 3 abilities.
Like a weapon swap in other games with a limited action set - it also puts the ability to swap
back on a 10 second timer.. and notice that the last 4 abilities... do not change.
I imagine that those last 4 skills can be selected from a much larger pool of other
skills - while the stance abilities are locked to the stance itself.. and based on what they've
said prior - there will be 6 stances in total .. of which you choose only two at one time.
Now the combo system .. this is where the bulk of the changes comes in.
The hotbar shrinks.. but the potential grows.
So the idea is that the 3 abilities in your stance.. web out into 6 other abilities.
So you'll notice here.. watching the Ranger .. anytime a stance ability goes on cooldown
- the combo interface pops up .. and the way this plays out through gameplay is you are
choosing one of those 3 options.. hopefully based on your situation and needs.. and once
you make a choice.. you then have another combo action, that appears alone.
To pull up a development based screenshot of the system .. it's all outlined and pretty
straight forward now that we can see it in action.
Again .. I imagine these stances and so the abilities within.. are all locked.. but there
will probably be some way to power up or augment their effects.
That was always a cool part of Bless from other regions.
You'll see the chain sometimes goes higher than 3 .. this looks to be just using another
main ability and going through it's combo before the timer gage expires .. I wonder
if there is some sort of mechanic for high chains increasing or affecting abilties in
some way.
I didn't see any of the 'reaction' abilities that the old combat system used.. and the
hotkeys for the combos took over the reaction ability's hotkeys - these were skills that
were only usable if a condition was met.. so say you just crit - boom this ability would
become available.
I can't say they are gone.. but it looks like it.
I also don't see the - ultimate skill... again, can't say it's gone, looks like it though.
Just looking at the gameplay.. it's still tab target - with a few skills that are freeform...
just as it was before.
Instead the revamp looks to almost take some elements of the contextual inputs of Blade
and Soul and flow of Guild Wars 2.. where you have a lot more options at any given time
and some freedom of choice... what will make it or break it for me is how the skills are
built out to prevent those choices being made for you.. because if this ends up being a
choregraphed DPS rotation and your choices are between aoe, single target and ranged
damage it'll be meh.
HOWEVER there is a lot of room for cool connections to class specific mechanics - so for instance
the mage has gages that fill based on what element the abilities they're casting are
- that they can use to fuel more powerful skills so choosing stances to stack one fast
or focus on 2 or whatever.. could be really interesting depending on what skills are tied
to it.. maybe it's one of those general, shared skills that are the spenders.
Obviously some min/maxers will drain the fun out and tell us what is good or not.. but
for PvP it could potentially open up more than just one playstyle to rule them all.
Weaving in some of my mages gameplay from Japan.. on the surface it's not as large of
a change as I've seen people wish for.
Most of the fundamentals are the same and especially in the case of DPS - a structure
like this doesn't actually change much in how and when you push buttons.. but I think
this could play out really cool for Tanks and Healers.
Kind of like that old Dark Knights in FFXIV before they ruined the class last expansion
- these roles tend to work better with a toolbox that's used situationally that helps make
their jobs more interesting.
Especially the Paladin.. it's probably the first time in an MMORPG that I might roll
a healer .. the very tame aesthetic helps there.
Overall it's what I expected.
It's less abilities than I would like access to .. but because it's more keypresses it
could end up feeling good.. the worst part for me is the interface and hud - I was really
hoping.. and still hoping.. it could change still - that they would do something to make
it prettier.
But that's going to be it for me - now that I've seen the combat - I feel a bit more comfortable
showing some more Bless from the japanese server because it's not really that large
of a departure.. especially on a mage.
So cool.
What exactly are your thoughts now that you've seen the combat gameplay .. and are those
thoughts coming from someone who has played it on other servers before.
That's going to do it for me, until next time.
This is Fevir.

You nervous?
the fishing line is like tightly wrapped around the shaft
and these wires stinks hanging in the trees
Last week we smelt land on the horizon and this morning
we saw it. A big green and brown beautiful hunk of land, plunked right in front of us, Antigua. It was beautiful
After anchoring we went straight into town took our first few steps on land and jumped in the car that had been arranged for us
We headed in the direction of the hospital for Riley's x-ray fingers and toes were crossed
You nervous?
na, dont know why
Okay, you can move
Can I hug you?
I will do
Amazing
Now promise
I promise
Thats great news
like the best news ever

And if we go back to La vagabond and she's still there
We're having a huge win then
Yea, yea amazing
We've got rum
Do you want some rum?

So we have no energy to even go out and celebrate tonight
Which is what we would usually do after a crossing
just a just a cup of Caribbean rum at home
So i've been to see the doctor the neck is all good everything's in place
From here we could go and see an orthopedic surgeon and get an MRI that doesn't seem to be necessary
So the only thing is this left arm is still like extremely week. Yeah, at times
It's about 10% of what the other one is

oh Okay
So a quick sum up of the Atlantic crossing
So that's the second crossing that we've done of the Atlantic we did one on the old monohull
We've done one on a catamaran now. I feel like I've got so much to say about
Basically this catamaran and its performance
But I don't want to do it on this
Big channel because there's been a few little things that you're a little bit annoying about like my authenticity being called into question
With regards to being able to objectively
Do an analysis on the Outremer and how it handles and all that sort of stuff?
So we've put it on our patreon account, and if you are really interested, that's where that information is going to be
thats it
How's the rum?
I don't know how you don't screw up your face
Hows the water?
Its a good start to the day
Agreed, coffee's on its way
going to go running this morning, up the hill here, that I went running last time I was here
oh yea?
Yeah
Yeah, yeah you're going to come with me
Am I?
Yep
This boat here's 666
Falmouth Harbor where we were anchored and English Harbor just around the corner are yachting mecca's in the Caribbean
The Royal Navy and Lord Admiral Nelson began using these areas as a safe haven in the 17th century
We're just going into town to get a few jobs done
But mostly we wanted to see if we could be there for the last arrival
So there was a race going on the Telesca whiskey Atlantic rowing race something like that
Where people spent like you know up to sixty days at sea crossing the Atlantic some were solo some were in pairs some were in three
people, what are they called?
So yeah, we're going to try and be there for the last arrival today
And maybe, hopefully get to talk to them and ask them some questions
Coconut pie
Somehow I was lucky enough to meet an orthopedic surgeon whilst we were waiting for the rower to arrive
He offered to do some tests on me and to see how much or how little strength I had in my arm
It's called the rotator cuff.
Yes.
It's for muscles it controls the shoulder
if you google rotator cuff exercises you dont need to see a therapist, but i think you should do some
but I'm not worried about anything
okay great.
no alarm signals
Thank you very much. Very very incredibly handy
no problem
I should buy you a beer as a minimum, i really should
thats ok
well im going to
but they will get drunk [...]
So this is the, well we just met, what was ya name again?
Manfred
Manfred, thats it, Elayna
This is a support boat behind us that went across the Atlantic
Can yon tell us a bit about the rowing race that just happened?
yeah, it's a race
Over the Atlantic Ocean 3,000 miles from La Gomera to Antigua this year we had 28 teams on the start line four teams got rescued
woah really?
yeah, there was tough weather this year and
I know, we were out there
Yeah, yeah, you know what happened over there. No it was a tough race
It's the world's toughest row and the last guy who just came in is Damien. He's an ex
rugby player professional and
He's a big guy, but he lost a lot of weight you lose a lot of muscle
OK so why the row? Whats the story behind it?
I'm a sailor I have no clue
Why somebody wanna row across an ocean
But I mean it's an amazing achievement if you make it the last two years been a little bit easier
But this year was a really tough race
What is going on back here?
I've just found out..
Very late in the day that Jessie and Michael who have a
Youtube channel who i'll link, put me in touch with this guy
George, and I just bumped into him randomly
I saw this guy had some spear guns on the back of his boat and I went burning over we started talking
and i'm like, "you don't know George do ya?" and He's like, "that's me"
mm-hmm
So he's taking me spearfishing tomorrow and I found out quite late and he said
"Can you get here for 4am?" so I've got all my stuff ready
And I'm just sharpening the gun
good thing your necks all right
Yea I might need.. Elayna was giving me shit saying I might need help to load the gun
yeah you will
You gotta take it easy mate
What are you making here?
Well I just cooked up a spaghetti, but it wasn't very big
So im just throwing in some veggies
the boys are gonna be looking at your food tomorrow and thinking what the hell
You don't have to worry about anyone stealing your food tomorrow
Elaynita reporting live
In the rain
3:45 a.m.. gotta take Riles
to the Fishing boats so I can take the dinghy back home.
Thanks for getting up for me and driving me in
thats ok
Im the best girlfriend in the world aren't i?
you're pretty good
Nicely done mate
So I'm gonna head into town this morning because I heard that the three Atlantic rowing ladies who arrived just last week
They're gonna be at the pier this morning to move their boat and actually get it hauled out of the water their boat 'Poppy'
So I really want to try and chase them down because I just think what they've done is incredible
And I want to hear about the experience
So yeah, that's what I'm gonna do today. I'm gonna go hunt down these ladies
So what are we doing here ladies?
What's going on right now? Well 'Poppys' been sitting up at the place where we arrived after our 60-day crossing and
today she's going to go to
The slipway where she's pulled out in preparation for shipping her back to UK so this is our last ride on water
We had 60 days living together on it,
oh its just like too much
Bit of a cliche do you think that your philosophy on life
May have changed a little after the journey.
I always used to fear failure and
As we were going across
I thought do you know what even if we fail on this at least
We are winners because we got to the start line and you know we're doing it and so
My philosophy on life has probably changed a little bit going forward
Now I won't feel
So fearful of failure and so that is a really big step forward for me. Yeah
okay, so obviously the trip is a
Huge mental challenge as well as physical
But do you think was there any particular event or situation where maybe you could say it was more of a physical or
Mental challenge?
there were times for both of those. Yeah, there was a time when I
Had been struggling to eat and keep anything down because I was sick for the first few weeks
mentally the challenge for me was the tiredness because I need sleep
What were some highlights, best moments of the trip?
the absolutely best
Moments was on my birthday on the 30th of January the sea was calm the stars were out there were no clouds
And it just felt to me like we were in a on a on a stage in a play and somebody
had just lit it up beautifully, and we just saw these dolphins just like jumping around
That was amazing
Woah like I was not expecting all of that this morning I feel so
Lucky to have been there at that exact moment when they were moving the boat, and they invited me on board
And honestly I got teary eyed when they were telling me those stories because I could relate to a lot of what they were saying
But not nearly on the level
Because of you know I'm on Big La Vagabond they were on a tiny little boat
the whole time
I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that you know I was complaining about lack of sleep and a few other little things on our
Atlantic crossing and these ladies had injuries. They had some pretty gnarly weather they capsized
They had to roll over the boat. Just before they arrived in Antigua, and they said it was most scariest moment in their life
and I can only imagine so yeah, I think what they've done is incredible and
Yeah, I realize how lucky I've got it here on beautiful La Vagabond insomnia and all really
Wel, the captain returns, with a little bit of sunburn
Didn't get anything. well, we caught like with a line with a rod and reel
Three
dolphin fish and a wahoo
you look pretty knackered
I am, they go hard
I was worried about ya
I know, I was fine
Yea
it was time to get stuck into some jobs
The fishing line is like tightly wrapped around the shaft
So we're just gonna get a knife and see if we can cut it
our propeller still had about a thousand yards of fishing line wrapped around it
from the Marlin event on the Atlantic crossing
After a risky mission of taking it apart in the water to see the damage underneath I sent a photo with the caption
"All done guys" to the engineering department of Outremer to which they replied "no"
There's still a lot of fishing line on the propeller shaft
It turns out that melted fishing line looks remarkably similar to a beautifully fitted teflon seal while snorkeling in murky water
That was quite embarrassing
Very grad very very grad Elayna that we don't have to have a haul out
all we could see was sort of that and that looks a lot like some sort of Teflon seal
Yeah, it does, it really does
While Riley's putting that prop back together, I've just been
Well, I'm packing us a little dinner box. This is a some of the dorado
We caught on the crossing
so we're gonna try and
Cook that up on the top of the hill that we run in the mornings
it will be nice to watch a sunset from up there
matches matches matches matches
I reckon we can sacrifice the crosswords book for paper
Riles are you happy to.. - are you happy for us to use the crossroads book for paper for the fire
We've never done a crossword
I've lost Riley, and theres a baby crying
And these weird sticks hanging in the trees, in these weird shapes
Riles, what are we doing?
getting some tips on where to sail in Antigua, from our mate George here, who's just a wizard
I dont know about that
So we have our friends coming, Christian and 'what the chick' and the weather's going to be pretty bad, so
We're just trying to get some spots that will be protected for the journey around the island
Okay, so we'll tuck into green island then go explore around Nonsuch
And then we've got...
join us next week as we sail up the coast with our friends in not so pleasant conditions
Fingers and toes and maybe bits of.. Riley babe I cant do it, It's too funny..
fingers and toes and maybe bits of Riley's spine were crossed, it just sounds so weird
We were heading in the direction of the hospital for Riley's Xray
Fingers and toes and maybe bits of Riley's spine were crossed

GETTING A DETOX FACIAL! - Duration: 8:27.
Good morning you guys so it's the morning after my facial and here's how
my skin looks I'm obviously you know still a little
bit red and my cheeks are so sore but my skin is so much more clear like I can't
tell you how clogged my pores were before but you know what I forgot to
like vlog a little intro before I did the facial so I'm gonna insert the
footage now so you guys can check it out
just got my facial done right now it's so red the girl was even saying to my
skin fuck so red even before she started extracting so now it's just like even
more crazy but it feels really good though like I've never had this clear of
skin you guys could see my nose like all of my mumbles all my black heads I like
all gone so and it didn't really hurt that bad just stings a little bit yeah
here's how it's looking I was so red after you guys like so red but it's
definitely gone down my cheeks are super sore up here but you know what's crazy
what she told me she told me that as she was extracting my pores and getting
everything out that everything was just coming out so easily so she said
normally it's like a struggle for her to like unclog pores and she has to really
like you know get in there but for me she said like my clogged pores they were
just coming right out like very easily so what that means is she was saying
that my pores opened very easily so that could be why I do get like clogged pores
more though because my pores opened very easily it's easier for me to like get
dirt trapped inside so it kind of sucks but it's okay I feel so much better
after that facial my nose is so much better like you guys know how bad my
nose was was before I just had black dots all over the place there is still a
little bit left she was saying you can't get everything in one day so it's good
to just get a nice detox facial like for three months straight every month and
then after that you can just do like a maintenance touch-up like every three to
four months so I'm definitely gonna have to go back again because I want to get
my skin situated and then I'll kind of like maintain it by going every once in
a while they have so many other facials to that I'm really excited to try it I
just feel like my skin has definitely needed it
I'm also like I'm done tanning my face I think like I just I have to stop tanning
my face because it's really clogged my pores I think because my pores are so
vulnerable and open all the time I can't I can't stand my face anymore the reason
why I started tearing my face is because I just started looking crazy when I
would do makeup tutorials I was getting so many comments like Amy why is your
face so pale and I get it it looks crazy like it looks crazy my face will be
extremely pale and in my body will be very very tan I get it it looks wild
but like let's get over it you know I'm saying it gets kind of annoying like
I get so many comments and it's like can
we just get over it it's not that serious like clearly I just hand my body
and I don't tan my face it's not that big a video so I don't know why so many
people made such a big deal out of it and that's why I was just like okay you
know what I'm just gonna tan my face so that everything matches and we can avoid
the charades but now I want to say I just I can't do it anymore it's clogging
my skin so you know FA I'm not tanning my face anymore
so yeah we're just gonna have to deal with the pale face and tan body okay in
makeup tutorials when it comes to vlogs I don't mind like I just quickly apply
my st. Joe PES face tan lotion like you put it on it it looks like your face is
tan so I do that like on a daily basis if I run errands I do that and it
matches my face to my body I do that when I go to the gym to I'll actually
link the one that I'm talking about down below but like I don't put that
underneath makeup so if I film makeup tutorials obviously you know I'm gonna
have my fresh bare skin I really don't see what the big deal is but people made
such a big deal in comment sections like when I used to not tan my face long time
ago anyways I'm really excited that I finally got this facial I feel really
good about it my skin feels so like clear like I don't even know how to
explain it like I just feel like there's nothing trapped in my face feels really
good anyways it's Saturday now and I'm just gonna do laundry oh that you see my
towels back there and well to do laundry and then I think I need to wash my
makeup brushes so I'm gonna do that today and then it's just gonna be a very
relaxed day sugar babies already sleeping on the couch and it's like
10:00 a.m. it's raining outside today so the weather is kind of crappy so I'm
just gonna like relax all day I feel like you guys see me in this shirt all
the time and it's like my favorite house shirt so yeah we're just gonna have a
super chill Saturday relax and I'm gonna start editing this vlog a little bit to
just to get like a head start on it alright we're about to wash all these
brushes I feel like they're so dirty I'm so excited to just like wash them I like
to use let me get it for you guys the result a so this is actually a laundry
soap and it's literally a dollar if you live in the u.s. it's really easy to buy
you can buy it from Walmart or Home Depot it's literally a dollar
but if you're in Canada I am it can be kind of hard to get your
hands on you have to kind of find it on Amazon or maybe just kind of like google
it sometimes it's out of stock on Amazon you will pay more like I think it's like
seven dollars Canadian like if you get it on Amazon sometimes you come on like
a two pack just make sure you look for like the best deal you'll pay a little
bit more obviously you're not gonna get it for like a dollar like the US will
you're gonna pay more but it's still super worth it because you get this huge
chunk like it's big and it lasts you forever and it's so amazing at cleaning
your brushes and especially your beauty blenders think it cleans it so good it
almost makes it seem like the B blender is brand new I actually have a video on
my main channel maybe I'll link it on the top right if you guys want to watch
it it's a super old's video but it's still exactly how I washed my brushes
and my sponges today and everything is clean and now the brushes are just
drying I just bought this like drying mat from home scents and I just lay my
brushes here to dry I'm so excited that everything is finally clean I feel like
it's the perfect timing because I just caught my facial so I don't want to put
like dirty brushes on my clean pores I mean I washed them my brushes pretty
regularly anyways but it's just perfect timing so we can start with fresh
brushes okay so it's the next morning I'm about to head to the gym but I just
wanted to get do a little like skin check-in I am breaking out a little bit
but other than that everything looks really good this skin looks really clear
the breakouts happened just because there's so much like purging of the
pores but yeah that I feel like it looks really good so I'm about to just head to
the gym right now I know she has a baby I'm actually gonna eat some breakfast
first and then head to the gym so I came back from the gym I had a really nice
workout like I loved my workout today I think it's because the Sun is out just
felt so good there's like huge windows at my gym so the Sun was coming in and I
did my entire workout in the Sun like I love this hun so it felt really good but
I just took my shower I actually took sugar for a walk after and then I just
took up my shower washed my hair I put my tan on that's why you see my body has
it's like really dark right now just put the tan on so that I can wash it off

Neurofibromatosis walk (captions available) - Duration: 9:13.
Hi guys, I've been trying to make this video for days, but it has just not worked out.
But anyways it's May now, so I'm out of time, so hopefully things will work for it today.
The reason I wanted to make this video is because May is NF awareness month,
NF2 day being on May 22.
So what I wanted to talk about today was the NF2ers move it.
Walking is very important for nf2 especially for like balance and health,
With that being said we are walking
There are links in the description, and obviously there are captions over here or over here, whatever way YouTube does it.
So today we are going to talk about walk to move it for health
Now, this walk is really easy all you do
Step 1: you find a sponsor or somebody to walk with you a walk partner somebody just to verify that you're doing it safely and stuff
Step Two: walk. it's that simple.
Now the dates that they have officially planned on May 19th, May 20th, the 22nd, the 26th, and the 27th.
The goal for this walk is to build up awareness for neurofibromatosis and help improve things like balance and heart health.
Now I would like to take some time to go over walking safely.
If you have a PT they undoubtedly have gone over things Like walking A LOT
Now, when you walk you are going to want to use a park or something with paved path away from traffic.
If you can't get to a paved path and you have to walk on the sidewalk near traffic I want you to keep some things in mind
Walk with a Partner or a Sponsor. Wear a reflective vest
Wear a hat and sunscreen. Those are very important, we do not want skin cancer.
Bring water and a folding chair so you can rest when you get tired.
Walking in short bursts is good its idea however if you need to rest, do it safely.
Take a break. Pack a chair and enjoy the fresh air and enjoy the weather
Now if your balance is not great you are going to want to bring things like a walker or a cane or even a wheelchair
I have several rolling walkers or a rollator that Iike to bring.
when are going to walk very long distances, I take my wheelchair when I'm going to things like the zoo.
Where I can walk along for a little bit but up a while I'm going to get too tired
and in those cases I'll usually bring my cane or my walker and my wheelchair
when you plan your walkout you are going to want to plan it out and make sure
that it is in a place that has curb cutouts, sidewalks that are level and does not
not have any debris or broken cracks. You want your path to be as easy as possible
because the goal is to improve your walking
You want to make sure that the path is smooth, don't try to walk through grass or across busy streets.
You want to walk focus on your health and your balance and your walking
Most importantly you want to make sure that you're Not walking with awful posture
That you can breathe easy and don't get overheated.
If you notice you're starting to get dizzy or short of breath, sit down take the rest don't push yourself.
That is not the goal here.
Walking is very great to improve your health
When you out there are several different ways you can keep track of your health
You can use an old fashioned photometer You could also use one of the newfangled Fitbits
Or you can use apps on your cell phone to help you keep track.
My PT actually had me using some games on the phone that I did did for walking
Just as a way to motivate me to go out and walk every day.
With that being said,I would like to show you some of my walking aids don't see if they can help you
When you are walking you want to make sure that the walker that you have
or the cane say you're using are the right size from your height
Now I am almost six foot at all so all of mine are it's really tall.
All my PTs tell me "what you're using is too tall" and then they see me stand up and
go "oh wow you're really tall" so I actually have several walkers, those are those them
Now my walkers have wheels to make it easier for me Also, I tend to have bags.
Bags are great because then you can carry things like water or
put your phone down and and not have to worry about it.
This is the walker that I use that is the most stable. I tend to use it when I'm in the hospital.
The other walker that I have, it's a European tall rolling walker
I really love this thing. It's really great they handles come up taller so you're not
hunched over like this you're able to stand and tall and it has a bag get in the front
a lot with is seat that you couldn't sit down take a break
I also have these canes. Now these canes are great for taking walks because they
have got this here, these four things that make it a little more stable.
When my balance was really bad I was using two canes I am now done using one cane
if you want to personalize your cane make it more fun were you more likely to use it
there are lots of things available like duct tape or magnets
and you can make it your own
thank you for letting me ramble to you guys today I hope you can understand me
they say that my voice is getting a little hard to understand
I've been slurring a little more with the facial paralysis over here and over
Here so some things to keep in mind we're going to get out we're going to walk
Going to walk and be healthy and we are going to most importantly
Walk and be safe remember health is the goal here
Thank you guys have a good day

Nasal Packing for Severe Nosebleeds - Duration: 2:28.
With a severe nosebleed, nasal packing is required for control.
A small nasal pack is used for anterior nosebleeds whereas a much longer nasal pack is used for
nosebleeds deep inside the nose.
In this case, placement of a small nasal pack will be demonstrated.
Most modern nasal packs contain a balloon which can be inflated with a syringe in order
to apply adjustable direct pressure to the site of the nosebleed.
Prior to placement, the pack is hydrated with water.
After hydration, the nasal pack is slowly inserted thru the nostril where the nosebleed
is occurring.
Here is nasal packing demonstrated again from a different angle.
Once fully inserted, a syringe is used to inflate the balloon within the nasal pack.
Enough air is added such that the amount of pressure exerted by the balloon inside the
nasal pack exceeds the pressure of the bleeding vessel.
Here is an animation showing how the balloon inflates the nasal pack to exert pressure
within the nose.
The nasal packing tube is than taped to the cheek to keep it out of the way.
Depending on the situation, the nasal pack is kept in place for 1 to as long as 5 days.
Once the nasal packing is ready to be removed, the nasal packing balloon is first deflated
by removing all the air.
The nasal pack is than removed.

Welcome to Jessup! - Duration: 0:54.
This is who we are.
We aren't afraid to get our hands dirty. Learning and experiencing as we go,
in the field or the lab.
We aren't waiting around for someone to show us the way.
We are actively shaping the future.
We're not doing this alone either.
We're focused on those around us and making an impact
here and afar.
Created to shift perspective.
To tell a story.
Building an atmosphere of expression.
Our vision for tomorrow is brighter, it's better, and it includes us all.
We are putting in the work to make it a reality.
It's not just about what we can do, but how we do it, and why we do it that way.
Pushing to the front of the pack, leading the way,
and staying christ-centered in the center of it all.
This is who we are.
Welcome To Jessup!

MCNs vs. Hollywood Agencies | heythats.cool [CC] - Duration: 8:53.
- So let's talk about multi-channel networks.
(smooth techno music)
So multi-channel networks are these companies
that started to serve some of the unique needs
that creators have.
You gotta make content, you gotta build an audience,
you gotta learn how to monetize the audience.
If those three needs are a tricycle,
creators usually think of the content part
as, like, the big wheel pulling the whole thing forward.
If they can let someone else take care
of the second parts, they'd like for someone to do that,
because those things are hard!
MCNs existed to serve those needs, right?
So, a company like Maker Studios, for instance,
formed in 2009.
It evolved out of this project called "The Station"
where a whole bunch of big time YouTubers
got together, folks with really really big channels.
They all got together in like the Venice Beach, Playa Vista,
Merina Del Ray area and they started hanging out
and making lots of content together
and this was called The Station.
A bunch of those folks later went on to found Maker Studios.
Based on the idea that wow if you got 10 people
with a million subscribers, I mean the numbers weren't
that big back then because it was 2009.
But if you've all got big numbers,
than you can sort of all converge them in one place
and that's what the network part was.
It was like we're gonna work together,
for mutual benefit. (computer generated ringing)
These were like the cool kids clubs of YouTube.
When you put a whole bunch of really popular people together
in a group people want to be part of that group.
MCNs realized like wow we could make a buck off that.
So they started producing these contracts
and having anyone and everyone sign them.
At one point Maker Studios was like yeah,
we've got 50,000 creators in network.
And I'm like wow your offices have no more than
a few dozen reps to serve all those people.
Ostensibly you're supposed to get
a certain number of benefits right?
(exciting techno music)
They knew that they couldn't handle that,
the point was so that they could go to venture capitalists
and say on their you know on their Slide Deck.
We've got a billion views, can you believe that?
A billion views, look at the big B on our board!
That means a billion, something that a lot of people
don't realize is that a lot
of the big multi-channel networks that came after Maker.
So like BigFrame, Fulscreen, StyleHaul, Collective Digital.
All these companies were founded in 2011.
Why that year?
Well because there was a company called Next New Networks
that YouTube bought for $50 million in 2011.
That sale inspires a whole bunch of people
to start growing companies.
'Cause YouTube is like a big,
they're a trendsetter if you're a venture capitalist,
You're going to take that as a queue to say
that's what I'm going to invest in.
So within five years all those companies got sold.
All of them.
(exciting techno music)
Anyway back to MCNs did you know that sometimes
they would ask you for 30%
of all of your advertising revenue,
in your contract and then sometimes they wouldn't
specify whether they were asking for Gross or Net CPM.
What that means is like okay, so say you've got a $1 CPM.
That's part of the whole YouTube deal,
you take 55% of that $1, so 55 cents.
If the MCN claims that it's gross, then they're taking
30% of $1, if they're saying net, then it's saying 30%
of your 55%, which is like 16% I think.
The funny thing is that like in Hollywood,
that shit does not happen!
I mean like okay bad contracts happen in Hollywood.
But if you've got an agent in Hollywood.
If you've got someone with like UTA or CAA
or really any agency operating in Hollywood
'cause it's a regulated profession.
Like you have to be licensed by the state,
you have to be franchised by the union.
There's a lot of rules you have to follow
if you're an agent in Hollywood,
and one of them is that you can take no more
than 10% of the gross revenue from the employment
that you procure for your client.
That to me is a really good rule right.
There's another rule, oh agents can't own a stake
in the company that they're trying to get you hired to.
If I own the studio, my incentive
is to negotiate the lowest rate possible for the talent.
But as an agent, like if your client is paying you,
shouldn't you be asking for the highest rate possible?
That's a conflict of interested that is limited
by regulations, state level and the union level.
MCNs don't follow any of those rules,
can you believe that?
They don't follow, and the thing is what they'll say is.
Well we're not an agency because the Talent Agencies Act
in California defines an agent
as someone who produces employment.
Then it becomes a question of like okay,
so if I sign up with an MCN
and they negotiate a brand deal for me,
are they negotiating employment?
Is a brand deal employment?
What's employment for a creator?
They are their own independent businesses.
That's something that we tell ourselves,
like we are independent businesses.
But what that means is that we don't get the same
protections that actors do in Hollywood.
But what I will say is that agencies were not specifically
built to serve the needs of creators.
They are regulated, they are set up in a way,
that reduces the number of conflicts of interest.
But they're not there to help you make web content,
they're not there to help you build an audience
and they're not there to help you monetize that audience.
That's simply not in their DNA.
Specifically they're built to serve these folks
who are outlined in the Talent Agencies Act
and this is like actors, singers,
types of like traditional Hollywood talent.
And what binds those folks together
is like a unique need that they have, which is to get gigs.
That's kind of the whole game,
but for creators it's a lot more complicated right?
You've got, you're doing all kinds of creative work
from you know pre to post production.
You're you know there's the audience building
and monetization stuff that are their own jobs right?
That require unique competencies,
agencies simply don't know how to do those things.
They're getting better, but generally speaking,
they're not they weren't structurally built
with those things in mind.
So this is the dilemma that creators are in right now.
On the one hand MCNs which are built to serve their needs
are not regulated and so have this sort of problem
where oftentimes you can't trust them
not to take advantage of you.
On the other hand agencies who do benefit from regulation
are not built to serve your unique needs.
So there's this gap in the market,
where do you go, where do you go if you need support?
This is not all to say that like no one has benefited
from membership in an MCN,
or from a really nice agent right?
Plenty of people have, but I think that there's
a very real gap that exists right now
and so that brings me to my final sort of series of comments
about a new company that's popping up.
Which is called 368, I think of it as
Casey Neistat's response to this major gap
in the market for creators.
He's been pitching it as this sort of company
where creators will be given assistance
developing their careers, developing their content.
Casey Neistat can do this because he's Casey Neistat
and if he promotes new talent,
people will watch the new talent.
The question is whether internally
the company will look more like an agency or an MCN?
I think it's probably gonna look like a little bit of both.
I wouldn't be surprised if 368 sort of took
structural aspects from the MCN model.
Having a dedicated sales department
for advertising sales and for you know brand deals.
A dedicated events and tours department
or dedicated,
merch department right like I think those make sense,
as roles within the company.
Or it could be that he's going to hire
a bunch of agents who just know
how to develop digital talent to directly interact
with creators on a one on one basis.
To develop their career,
to develop their brand deals.
You know get them to the place
where they want to be, basically,
an incubator for influencers.
The fact that it's in New York is particularly interesting.
Because that's where the advertising money is
as opposed to Los Angeles where
the media investment money was.
That's kind of why the MCN all popped up there.
I think the fact that Jack Conte is involved
and the fact that Casey Neistat has been making
videos with like the founder of Reddit.
I think that indicates that there's going to be
a platform element to this.
Traditionally there's been this sort of
conventional wisdom that it's not really cool
to take a bunch of viewers and fragment their experience
and take them to other websites
to get them to watch content.
But Jack Conte has clearly proven
with his experience on Patreon
that you can do that.
The question remains, will a company like 368
be able to outmaneuver the major Hollywood Talent Agencies
that are slowly moving into the space.
That's a battle that's going to play out
over the next 5 or 10 years
and I think it would you know I think creators
would benefit from paying attention to it closely
and with an eye for the greater context
of the challenges our industry is dealing with right now.
We should take some *agency* [get it?] in you know forming
the new structures that will emerge
from this developing space.
Do I sound like an executive director now?
I'm doing my best!
Peace out guys, see ya.
