Waching daily Oct 10 2018

- [JAMES] It's Hacktoberfest time,

and this year it's MEGA Hacktoberfest!

And that means only one thing:

of course, we're looking at rom hacks of Mega Man games!

Instead of looking at them all at once, I'm giving them individual attention,

these are some rom hacks that I really and truly think

deserve, y'know, to get an individual look-see.

Now with Mega Man, most rom hacking is concerned with the NES games,

particularly Mega Man 2, 4, and 5 for some reason.

Of course, all of them have their hacks.

But for this first review, we aren't actually looking at one of the classic Mega Man games.

Instead, we're looking at Mega Man X for the Super Nintendo.

I've not found any other Mega Man X hacks that are

quite to the extent of this one.

So today we're looking at a game that changes music,

it changes graphics,

and even changes gameplay a little bit.

We're talking about Mega Man X: Generation

for the Super Nintendo, and today we're figuring out

if it's worth your time!

Welcome to Stuff We Play,

home of everything weird and retro,

and if that sounds cool to you, why not subscribe? And today,

we're talking about a rom hack of Mega Man X.

Mega Man X: Generation -

As far as I can tell,

this game was made by one person, and I can't find much about it besides that, well, it exists!

And honestly it's kind of weird and interesting to see.

More than anything else, I wonder if this was a proof of concept, as,

I just haven't seen many Mega Man X hacks,

particularly not ones like this.

In this SNES game, you play as Mega Man X,

a futuristic variant of your standard Mega Man

who was sealed in a capsule by Dr. Light for what was supposed to have been 30 years

but instead ended up lasting more than a century.

Now it's up to you as Mega Man X

to go and defeat Mavericks, who are rogue reploids -

hyper intelligent robots made that were copies of Mega Man X -

and save the day!

The leader of the Mavericks is Sigma,

and he's kind of a jerk.

So with that in mind,

what does change here?

Well graphically speaking, it's quite a bit different.

All of the stages here have had their tile sets changed,

meaning that, in the intro stage for example,

instead of going along a highway, you're now

going over these wooden boxes and gravelly-like things.

A lot of stages also have their backgrounds changed.

Admittedly, not all of them look great.

In fact, some of them look a bit haphazardly done

like these in Boomer Kuwanger's stage. Like seriously, what is this?

It almost looks unfinished.

But also, some such as Flame Mammoth's stage, are absolutely beautiful

with great sunsets and other such features in the background.

What also changes here, a bit anyways, is the music.

A lot of music here is the same is in Mega Man X originally.

However, a lot of music has been imported from other SNES Mega Man games,

primarily, Mega Man and Bass, which only came out on the Super Nintendo in Japan,

and Mega Man 7.

It's amazing what a change of music can do for the tone of a game

because even though Mega Man X itself is typically darker and grittier in tone than your average classic Mega Man game,

these kind of bring it back to those times, and combined with the new aesthetics,

it helps make this Mega Man X game feel a bit more classic in style.

Granted, it kind of has it's own style gameplay-wise.

A lot of stages take advantage of abilities such as X's dash and wall climb abilities more than in the original game.

In Mega Man X proper, there are four Dr. Light capsules spread throughout the game

which will grant you a variety of power ups,

such as a mega buster upgrade that will let you charge up all your weapons,

a helmet upgrade to bust through certain blocks,

a body upgrade that halves the damage you take,

and a dash upgrade that allows you to, well, dash.

However, at the beginning of this game,

you start with both the dash and the helmet upgrade,

though you still need the leg parts for the aesthetic part of the upgrade.

Along with this, a lot of stages either force you to make dash jumps off the sides of ledges

or even climb up walls in order to progress.

It's a bit more forced than in other Mega Man X games,

though, at the same time, it's still very solid.

What's weird, though, is something feels like it's missing here.

All the stage design here is actually pretty good and none of it seems cheap,

but while all of it feels very deliberate, it doesn't really feel like Mega Man X.

It's like when you find a really solid Mario Maker level, except

the level in question is based off a level from another game.

It doesn't feel like Mario,

but it's still solid, even if it feels a bit off.

And that's the best way I can describe the levels here.

None of them seem to be ripped from other Mega Man games or what not,

but something definitely seems to be missing here.

Though some appear maze-like with all their twists and turns,

they're all rather linear and limited.

In fact, all of the Dr. Light capsule parts are just given to you!

Instead of just the dash parts, like in the original Mega Man X.

There's less exploration here, but also,

there's more jumping and shooting action.

It really depends on what you prefer.

In addition to this, all of the boss weaknesses have been changed.

Mega Man games are usually a game of rock-paper-scissors.

By defeating a boss, you take it's weapon and can use it against other enemies.

Each boss is weak to the weapon of another boss.

As such, you have to find which bosses are weak to what weapons.

The weapon order and which bosses are weak to what weapons have been changed here.

Along with that, each boss arena has been changed up.

A couple of bosses have even been given new abilities.

For example, Flame Mammoth, when he does his jump attack,

instead of just changing the direction of the conveyor belt like in Mega Man X proper,

can also just cause the conveyor belt to completely explode

and instead reveal pools of magma which can damage you.

Some bosses also now have instant death spikes in their arenas, which

I'm not particularly fond of

though I do guess they add a nice new challenge.

What also seems off is some of the new music here.

While I love some of the additions here, some of it just seems off-key.

Like, listen to this in Sigma Stage 1!

The game itself is still fun.

While if you haven't played Mega Man X, I would NOT recommend you jump into Mega Man X Generation first,

I feel like if you have played Mega Man X itself, there's enough here to be worth a try.

The level design is solid and some of the new additions are cool.

Furthermore, it's a nice change of scenery for those who have played Mega Man X a million times, like myself.

It definitely looks good and it definitely looks interesting, and

despite some graphical glitches and some weird off-putting things,

it's still fun on the whole.

It is a nice remixed version of Mega Man X itself,

and as such, I feel like Mega Man X: Generation

is definitely worth checking out.

Perhaps not worth completing all the way through,

but definitely worth playing.

But you know what, I may be beginning to ramble on just a bit.

What Mega Man rom hacks should I look at in the future?

Well, I can tell you this much: for the next game we're looking at,

we're jumping back to the NES because we're looking at a rom hack

of Mega Man 4!

So, with that, thank you very much for watching,

this has been a lot of fun, remember to subscribe to Stuff We Play for more great content like this, and with that,

thanks for watching once again, stay classy, and I'll see you...

next time!

Water Cooled Hydraulic Oil Tank - Duration: 14:07.

welcome to saving vessel seeker and we're gonna start on a hydraulics just a

tank for now but we've got a lot of hydraulics on here the anchor winch will

be hydraulic there's a hydraulic motor that goes on this thing for lifting the

tender onto the davits there's a hydraulic deck crane that goes up there

for lifting cargo in and out the main engine will have a hydraulic pump where

we also have this beautiful vMac machine which has its own hydraulic pump and

then we'll have another smaller hydraulic power unit they were power

pumps and equipment because hydraulic stuff works underwater too

we're working on is a hydraulic tank by putting the hydraulic tank against the

hull we cool the oil down so we decided that the place for it now it's a matter

of make the cardboard templates make a steel I've got the grinding woke up one

of the neighbors

I just watched a video of Ross over life on the bowl he's dead I think was eight

hours of grinding on his deck fiberglass Ross I'm feeling it the same eight hours

dog glad for that

you know I think the more I freehand cut with the plasma the less I think I mean

yeah how close how close do you need it how much do we trade off skill or

machinery nowadays

my god that looks pretty down there we just did that to the whole button put a

clear cut off

we changed our mind here we're gonna go with a weld-on bone which is a big heavy

piece of cast steel with threads in it place well that's actually designed to

be welded onto a pipe that you get onto a place no big deal crying again if you

have issues about it we don't have the ability to chat 5/8 inch nearly as easy

and this is gonna give us a one inch so what we're doing is we're taking as much

care as we can to make sure there's nothing that can come off so that's why

the die grinder went around that because you don't want crap in your tank you got

a filter between this and your parts but anything gets passed will cause your

problems

it's not bad

bring out pain - Mitch we have to rest upon that we got a bunch about

there

good luck shooting right here there hang on it'll be fine

nicely gone

he's gotten hundreds of them dead camel oh yeah katal literally hundreds no I

think it's a great idea why don't you just make the end socket we'll go over

and we all have that especially tools that we don't need use a crescent wrench

crying out loud tell me especially tool now these

angular cutters can only go down so far in size because they all have these

cores on the inside they leave and that's kind of why they work so great

but we can't convert this drill over to using a Jacob's Chuck it's wonderful I

just wish it was a faster conversion

give it a wiggle there it goes go right on there these okay call that

good

so what we're going to do is I'm gonna put the bolts in using thread Locker the

reason for that is we could tack them because you gotta have something to make

that bolt stay in there cuz the nut when you take the nut off it starts turning

the bolt so it wants to go off too so you gotta hang that bolt in there thread

Locker will be the deal if the thread Locker breaks and the nuts not coming

off the nut galls on something we'll just cut the nut off on the top but we

don't want to have to cut the bolt off attack on the bolt on the inside of the

tank this is a hydraulic oil tank and you don't want to get hydraulic crap and

you're you know shavings and grit in your hydraulic oil in that right Tony no

crap in the oil

oh yeah look at that hey coordinates nothing says class like

a corn nuts it looks good you see we fit it for what's called an edge edge well

we just most of the plague is expose on both plates she's a little tiny crack

back in there so it keeps dropping any wire or weld down inside the tank it's

important now to keep the tank clean where we willed it up

are using our 12 es suitcase welder and there's a really nice feature on this

and I love a little button right there so hold underneath it I turn that on

well for four seconds I can let go of the trigger yeah well people in welding

then I just triggered it again to shut it off

now the fit up on this tank is really nice so all the edges are even and

pretty much very little change in the distance and spacing so it makes it a

lot easier well a lot more enjoyable so you got the time take the time to get

the steel fit right especially on a tank where you don't

want hydraulic fluid leaking out oh my goodness it up ended down here I got a

little bit of a gap between the cheap place so my trick is to just put it in a

small tax that builds up it actually pulls the metal down a little bit I

could probably get a jack in here and do that too but this is faster once I got

some wells tax bills up there and then I can fill it in there's a final playing

with the second pass on it that's where the gap was she is we've got the bones

taped up so no dirt gets in there or what we have is ability to have two

pumps out here of other equipment but there's either you know in or out and

they're all one-inch bumps and then a little dipstick hole in the top we'll

put the plug in an event over here at the side oh go out follow the wall I've

come up underneath this table to vent air when the volume is changing the tank

so in a hydraulic cylinder stance it's going to draw oil in it's gonna need air

in the tank and when it contracts it's going to push air back out of the tank

so always need a bin so it's good to have that checked off the list the first

hydraulic thing is in but more importantly it's one less thing that we

have to weld to the hole because though we can't really paint on the outside of

the hole until we're done welding things on from the inside those are the things

we're trying to check off and then we get the paint though thanks for watching

and thanks for your support and remember you can go to Amazon put an SV seeker by

our merch or you can support us through patreon a lot of

things put a link in the description for that too thank you

you

How to Get Your Tingles (English) 🌙 팅글테스트 - Duration: 44:05.

We call it ASMR...

...when you feel relaxed and peaceful through visual and hearing stimulation.

Fast.

Scratch.

Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

Hello.

Appointment at 8 o'clock?

Let's see...

Sorry, but may I have your name?

Great.

All confirmed now.

I'm Dr. PPOMO from the tingle clinic.

And I am Korean.

My English may not be so good.

If you are having any trouble understanding,

... please note that you can push CC for subtitles.

So... let's get started with couple of questions.

Is this your first time with ASMR?

... or have you tried it a few times before?

... or feeling a bit immune to tingle from repetitive usage?

Ah!

I see!

Then you will probably have a good experience here trying out variety of triggers for tingle.

I'm originally from a sleep clinic.

And I got the opportunity to open ASMR tingle clinic in an event format.

And you are the very first guest.

I plan to continue opening the tingle clinic if the responses are good.

We call it ASMR...

... when you feel relaxed and peaceful through visual and hearing stimulation.

And there are tons of triggers to get ASMR.

Tons, meaning so many to cover all in one day.

This is because there are a lot of elements for one human body to react on visual and sounds.

I'd like to start the clinic session by testing with massage...,

... massage,

... tapping,

... scratching,

... and whispering.

I hope you can find your own tigger within the area.

Okay.

I have prepared massage oil here.

It is in a brown bottle and has a very soft and relaxing scent.

And I will start giving you a slow face massage.

It can satisfy both the visual and hearing element for tingle.

Next will be the ear massage.

This is to focus on the hearing element of tingle.

How was it?

Did you feel tingly?

Next will be neck and shoulder massage.

Big motions all around...

... to give more of a relaxing feeling than tingles.

Next time we will try tapping and scratching.

Tapping and scratching can make endless amount of different sounds depending on the object.

We will try it on objects like wood...,

... like wood,

... paper,

... glass,

... and

... sticky sound like leather.

You can either focus on the sound with your eyes closed,

... or watch my hand motion for visual tingle.

Starting with wood.

Fast...

Fast.

Slow.

How was it?

Did you feel tingly?

Now tapping and scratching this card made of paper.

Tapping glass objects this time.

Leather object next.

You might enjoy either fast tapping or slow tapping more than the other.

Everything is up to your preference.

Shall we move on to whispering sound trigger?

I personally categorize them by regular voice...,

... whispering,

... inaudible whispering,

... and trigger words.

Here is my regular voice.

The weather is nice.

You are lying down on the grass, watching the sky, forgetting all the hardship.

Then start to think of random things that you like.

You are feeling good and better.

This time is my whispering.

The weather is nice.

You are lying down on the grass, watching the sky, forgetting all the hardship.

Then start to think of random things that you like.

You are feeling good and better.

Next is inaudible whispering.

Trigger words are next up.

There are variety of trigger words, and I will be using...

'stipple'

... 'relax',

... and 'tingles'.

How was it? Did you feel tingly?

Awesome! You have been doing great so far.

I hope the session is helping you out find the trigger for you.

Oh, time passed by fast.

We will wrap it up for the day.

There are still many triggers we didn't get to test.

But I am hoping that you have found the right trigger for tingle from the session.

I will be looking forward to see you again.

Have a wonderful day.

The Untold Truth Of Brie Larson - Duration: 6:59.

Brie Larson became an overnight sensation when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress

in 2016 for her performance in the acclaimed drama Room.

Except, success and fame didn't come overnight for the future Captain Marvel at all, as Larson

has actually been toiling away in Hollywood for over 20 years.

Surprised?

Here's a look at the untold truth of Brie Larson.

A star is born

Born in the United States to French-Canadian parents, Larson spoke French fluently before

she began speaking English.

As a child, she spent her time watching old movies, telling The Los Angeles Times,

"Before I was old enough to have the money to travel, it was how I saw the world.

It's how I saw different people.

It was how I saw different countries.

It was how I saw different eras.

And I believed them."

Larson told The Guardian that at the age of 6, she announced to her mother,

"Mom, I know what my dharma is: I'm supposed to be an actor."

Not long after, her parents separated, and her mom moved the family to Los Angeles so

Larson could follow her dream.

It wasn't easy.

Larson told The Guardian,

"We had a crappy one-room apartment where the bed came out of the wall and we each had

three articles of clothing."

And she also changed her name, from Brianne Desaulniers to the stage name we all know

today, Brie Larson.

All that work paid off when she got her first big break - performing in a skit on The Tonight

Show with Jay Leno.

"Thanks, roadkill easy bake oven!"

Pop princess

Larson isn't just an award-winning actress and philanthropist - she was also a teen pop

star for about a minute in 2005.

At just 15 years old, the multi-hyphenate released her debut album, Finally Out of P.E.,

shot a music video for her single "She Said," and even went on tour with teen heartthrob

Jesse McCartney, but, according to Vulture, her record totally flopped.

Still, the Internet never forgets.

Larson told The Hollywood Reporter,

"I haven't done music in 10 years, but if you Google my name, my music video is one

of the first things that pops up.

It's this weird story that keeps coming back."

Gamer girl

Considering Larson's induction into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's not too surprising

to learn that she's an avid, lifelong lover of all things nerdy.

Way back in 2005, she told IGN,

"My 15th birthday was a Nintendo party.

It was awesome!

I had a bounce house and I had all my friends dress up as their favorite Nintendo character

and we played video games and had these giant blow-up hammers and whacked each other in

the bounce house."

And she's still embracing her inner geek girl.

A full decade later, in 2015, she revealed to Buzzfeed that playing games is a major

stress reliever.

"I know what I'm like when I'm at home, in my PJs, playing Zelda.

I know that person really well."

Struggling to get by

While Larson has now hit the Hollywood jackpot, it wasn't long ago that she was still struggling

to make ends meet.

After her hit Showtime series United States of Tara ended in 2011, Larson began working

in independent films, building up industry cred by draining her bank account.

She told The Guardian in 2013,

"I have no problem talking about how hard it's been, how broke I've been and how broke

I was not even that long ago.

I was freaking out around this time last year because I thought, 'This is it.

I've really screwed myself because I did three independent films.

I didn't do anything for money and now I don't have anything.'

I was eBaying stuff for Christmas presents."

However, her dedication to her craft and to the art of filmmaking is what got the movie

star through the difficult, frugal years.

"I won't do things for money.

I can't.

I don't have kids and I'm fine eating cereal if that's what it takes."

Quirky hobbies

Larson has struggled with social anxiety since childhood.

She told Buzzfeed,

"You could put me on a stage in front of 100 people and I could do a tap dance, but one-on-one

was really difficult for me.

And it took me most of my life to learn how to work with that anxiety, to embrace and

be comfortable with it."

Luckily, as she revealed to Vanity Fair, Larson has developed some unusual hobbies to help

her relieve stress and anxiety.

She told The Guardian that while working on the indie film Short Term 12, she spent much

of her free time designing new fonts.

"I made three or four different fonts during Short Term 12.

I have graph paper and gel pens and I would do the alphabet: just do 'a' over and over

again until I got it perfect and then go to 'b' and then 'c.'

I definitely look like a weirdo with scraps of paper everywhere and the alphabet over

and over again."

She also revealed in a Reddit Ask Me Anything that she spent years studying Mycology, which

is the scientific study of fungi.

So… that's cool.

A quiet engagement

There are drawbacks to being a Hollywood superstar, as fans and paparazzi want to know and be

part of every aspect of your life, something that Larson told Buzzfeed worries her.

"Because we put ourselves in a movie or on TV, then it must mean we want to be completely

open to the world.

Sometimes people will run up to you as if this is Disneyland and I'm a character.

I understand their point of view, but it's difficult to explain how terrified it makes

me.

I'm so nervous."

That may explain why Larson has worked so hard to keep her engagement to musician Alex

Greenwald out of the spotlight.

Other than a couple of brief mentions, like during her Oscar acceptance speech, she's

done a great job of keeping her private life under wraps since they got engaged back in

2016.

"He's just my person, he's my best friend."

Not just an actress

In 2012, Larson stepped behind the camera for the first time, writing and directing

the short film The Arm, which won the jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

Five years later, she directed her first feature, Unicorn Store, in which she starred alongside

the likes of Joan Cusack, Bradley Whitford, and Samuel L. Jackson.

She told Vanity Fair,

"I felt like, What better time for me to direct than now, when I don't have a stigma attached

of this extra scrutiny, like, 'Oh, she's an actor - now she wants to be a director?'"

And that isn't the only role she's taken on outside of acting.

She is also an activist, spending much of her time and energy advocating on behalf of

sexual assault survivors.

In a 2017 Net-A-Porter conversation with Jane Fonda, Larson said,

"I'd put it all on the line and be an activist for the rest of my life because it doesn't

feel right to me to be quiet."

She explained to Vanity Fair that she viewed her filmmaking as an extension of her activism.

"There is a sense of joy and exhaustion that comes with every film, but the hope is that

all the exhaustion pays off and you end up getting to share it with the world.

That's the reason why I make movies.

You hope that it reverberates outward and that it changes people's opinions and hopefully

for the better."

September Wrap Up 2018 - Duration: 8:47.

Hey everyone! I hope you're doing well.

Today I'll talk to you about the books I read during the month of September

and after that, of my favorites from the month of September.

I started listening to a series from C.J. Archer. I've read the first 3.

The 1st one is The Watchmaker's Daughter. The 2nd one is The Mapmaker's Apprentice.

And the 3rd one is The Apothecary's Poison.

There are still more books, but these were the only ones available to listen to.

So they're the ones I just finished listening to.

The series is set in 1890, where we follow a group of characters who are searching for a person with magic,

that will be able to cure a character's disease.

But we also have a relationship between 2 characters.

You can tell they have feelings for each other but they don't do anything about it.

And that's what is getting me the most, the romance, not so much the search for magic.

But I also love that it's set in the 19th century and that it involves magic.

The first and third books were the ones that hooked me the most.

I didn't feel there was much happening in the second one, but we get more magical characters and more rules about this world.

I gave 4 stars to the first and the third one. And I gave 3 stars to the second one.

Also, part of another trilogy, I listened to Binti by Nnedi Okorafor.

This is a very short sci-fi. It's about 200 pages long, the audiobook was 2 hours long.

Being so short, I felt everything happened very fast, the conflict and the solution.

And I feel this world the author created could have been explored more deeply.

Which would have made me feel more involved in this story, this world and this character.

But what I really loved was the main idea which lands on themes of racism and prejudice.

I feel these books were made more for their message than for the story per se.

We follow a girl from a tribe who gets a scholarship for a university to which no one from her tribe has been able to go before.

And when she gets out of her planet to attend said university, it's when things start happening.

Issues she has to deal with from the moment she leaves.

But there are 2 more books about this story and, honestly, I don't know if I'll read or listen to them.

Maybe I will, because they're so short. But it's not that it hooked me so much as to wanting to know what happens next.

So I gave it 3 stars.

Golden Son by Pierce Brown is the 2nd book from the saga of Red Rising.

And since it's the second book I can't talk much about it without spoiling it.

But I can tell you that I enjoyed it even more than the first one.

Because I felt I got used to the writing style from this author. For sometimes it makes me feel like I skipped chapters.

Because he sets a situation where it looks like something is going to happen,

and suddenly in the next chapter it's already in the middle of the action or even after it happened.

So it takes a while to get used to that writing style.

We have new characters and some old characters from the first book, who were my favorites.

I was surprised by how much it made me laugh. He knows how to mix comedy with drama and action.

And I gave it 4.5 stars on Goodreads.

Lethal White by Robert Galbraith is the 4th book from the Cormoran Strike series.

This one presents a new crime which Cormoran and Robin will have to investigate to solve the mystery.

And we keep following the character's development. I can't say more because I don't want to spoil you.

But what I can say is that Rowling is a master in seeing the whole picture.

When she wrote Harry Potter, she started by defining the ending. Which I feel is the best way to write a book.

That way you know each detail you have to show throughout the book.

And it can tell in this book, well in everyone of the books from this saga.

Because, when you get to the conflict's solution, you notice every single clue she left behind.

And that's just genius from her part. And it's something I enjoy a lot from her books.

I gave this one 4.5 stars.

I listened to the audiobook of The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn.

We're nearing Halloween and Día de Muertos, so I wanted to start with spookier reads.

This is a thriller, which actually reminded me a lot of The Girl on the Train.

We follow a girl who suffers from agoraphobia. So she lives through what she sees through her window.

And we'll follow a mystery she gets to see. And also the reason for her agoraphobia.

In general, I felt it lacked a faster pace, more suspense, so it could hook you up more.

During the whole book I was considering giving it 2.5 stars,

because it wasn't achieving what I wanted from a mystery book.

And the writing style made some of the mysteries to solve too obvious,

and once they were revealed they weren't surprising because it looked like they had been revealed before.

However, the ending, the true plot twist was amazing. And I feel that saved the book entirely.

So I ended up giving it 3 starts.

The last book I read in September was Emma by Jane Austen, which was a buddy-read.

Actually, I read it throughout the whole month of September.

Because with classics I feel it's best to take it slower

so you can appreciate this contemplative writing style, slower paced.

Emma is divided in 3 volumes. And I felt the 1st volume was really slow.

And because it describes so much the life style from that time, there are bits that feel unnecessary.

But Jane Austen's humor makes it easier to read, because she's so ironic and really funny.

So they can be talking about how to avoid getting a cold in a walk, but some comment will still make you laugh.

I did feel it was too long for what it was. It's about 400 pages long, so I think it could have been shorter.

In this book Emma gives herself the job of match-maker.

And she tries to pair up everybody, but she sucks in noticing other people's feelings.

So she keeps failing. And she doesn't even know her own feelings.

That element was one of the funniest because she chose her hobby very poorly.

Because she doesn't know how to do it.

But it's what gives it the funny tone to the whole story. And I gave it 3 stars.

Those were all the books I read during this month. My favorites were Lethal White,

Golden Son and The Watchmaker's Daughter.

I also wanted to talk to you about a tv show I watched this month

which came out last year, so probably many of you have already seen it.

But it's the first time I see it and I loved it, I'm obsessed with this show.

And that is Dark. It's on Netflix.

It's one of those mind-blowing series. I can't tell you exactly what's it about or I would spoil it for you.

A lot of people are comparing it to Stranger Things. But I thing the only thing it could compare to it's

the atmosphere it develops in. Involving these dark scenes in the woods.

In Stranger Things we follow some kids and in this one we follow a group of teenagers.

And the cast for this series is perfect! It's one of the things that lately have been taken more carefully in movies and series

because, usually, when they put 2 people as siblings they didn't look anything alike.

But lately they have been taking more care of it, and now you believe the fact they're family.

The second season has been confirmed so you have time to catch up with it if you haven't seen it. I really recommend it.

It's in German, so it's not one of those you can put as background without paying attention

because you have to read the subtitles, if you don't know German.

Unless you'd prefer to watch it dubbed to your language. But I always recommend watching everything in its original language with subtitles.

Another of my favorites from this month was a podcast called Binge Mode.

They're doing their 3rd season, dedicated to Harry Potter. The whole universe of Harry Potter.

In each episode they talk about 5 chapters from the books.

It's very thorough, they analyze every chapter of the books.

And once they finished analyzing the whole book, they also talk about the movie.

What they like, what they don't, what they cut out..

And as I said, they include the whole universe. From the original Harry Potter ones, to Fantastic Beasts, movies and all.

And that's all for today's video. Thanks for watching, see you in the next one. Bye!

Äre you a Coach with very few Clients? Here's how to get more - Duration: 2:48.

Hi!

I'm Sharon Jurd and welcome to my Biz Blitz video and today I want to ask you a question,

are you a coach with very few clients?

Now I know there are some of you out there but not a lot of you will admit it.

If you're sitting there going, "Yeah, I'd like more clients.

In fact, I'd like more clients who pay more money."

Is that you?

Well, I'm here to share some little tips with you to make sure that you get better

paying clients.

Firstly, I want to share with you point number one, get clear on your life story and your

message because if people don't understand why you're doing this or what you've been

through or what you're trying to help people achieve then they won't really connect with

you.

What you need to do is get very clear on your story and your message.

Secondly, set up your coaching system.

How are you going to deliver your coaching to them?

How often are you going to meet up with them?

Is it by video?

Is it by phone?

How are you going to communicate with them?

What are you going to deliver between those hookups?

Because potential clients want to know some of that detail about how this actually works,

particularly if they haven't been coached before.

And thirdly, have conversations with them.

Really listen to what their problem is or their pain is because you can say, "Oh,

I can do this", "I can help you with that" and "I can help you with this" but it

might not be where they need help.

So have genuine conversations with them, make sure that you are listening to where they're

feeling the pain or where they've got the problem and identify how you can help them

with that.

And then they will connect with you on a greater level because they'll feel that you understand

their problem or their pain.

So there are my tips.

Firstly, make sure that you get your story and your message correct.

Secondly, set up your coaching system on how you're going to deliver that to them, and

thirdly, have those genuine conversations and that will attract the right people to

you who will genuinely want to pay you more money.

If this video has been of value to you or if you think it may be of value to your friends,

family or colleagues, please share this out.

I'd love to help as many people as I can and I need your help to do that.

I'm Sharon and we'll talk very soon.
