Youtube daily report Feb 22 2018

Hello everyone, and welcome to 'English Tips for Finns.' In this video I'm going

to make 10 observations about Finns and their English skills. I think the

overall theme of the video is this that the English level of Finn's is amazingly

high. I'm totally impressed with the way Finns handle English. I think if you

could somehow measure how different English is from another language and how

people within a country that speak that language speak English, Finns would be

way up here -- you can't see my hand, but it's way up here -- and the next country

would be way down here. I really do believe that. These are just

observations I've made from 20 years of living and teaching in Finland. They're

not really facts, so you're gonna disagree with them or agree with them or

whatever. Please leave all comments in the comment section below, and please

like, share and subscribe...and let's get started.

Observation number one: Finns speak English freakishly well. Every year, the company English First does a study

where they compare the English levels of most of the countries in the world, and

Finland finishes near the top every single year. It's not a very

scientific study, but in this case I think it is pretty accurate. Finland is

one of the better English-speaking countries. This year, for example, Finland

finished seventh which is actually low for Finland. The first five were in the

same language family as English -- the Germanic language family -- and they were

the Nordic countries (MY NOTE: Holland was number one) -- the sixth was Singapore which is a former British

colony. Finland is in the Uralic language family so it's not even close to the

other languages. It just gives you an indication of how well that Finns speak

and how impressive it is that they can.

Observation number two: When Finns speak English, the pronunciation is very clear.

I can always understand Finns no matter what level they are at. I think the

reason is is because in Finnish there isn't much intonation and that

makes the English sort of more monotone. It's not so sexy,

but it's very clear and understandable, and I think that is the most important thing.

Observation number three: The English reading levels of Finns is impressive.

I've seen elementary school textbooks, I've seen high school textbooks and I'm

totally impressed with how high level those textbooks are and how much the

education system challenges Finns. Even in university -- these very

complicated textbooks -- students are able to handle very well and that's just

because you have an awesome education system and because it's a very literate

society, in general.

Observation number four: The oral comprehension levels of Finns is at a

high level. This is something that is just so impressive to me. Even people who

have sort of low level English skills can understand quite a lot. You have

pop culture and you have lack of dubbing to thank for that, I think.

Observation number five: The grammar levels are also good considering the

huge differences between Finnish and English. There are huge differences

between Finnish and English -- and, actually, there's a lot of similarities which kind

of surprises me (how similar they can be). gain I think you have your

excellent education system to thank for that. The main areas of difficulty with

grammar are word order, prepositions and articles, in general.

Observation number six: Finns small talk better than they think. I did a whole

video on Finns and small talk. It is true: Finns always say they can't small

talk...but they small talk all the time and I small talk all the time with my

students. Of course it depends on the person and there's different levels and,

I guess overall, it could be a little bit better but it's much better than people think.

Observation number seven: Teaching Finns is easy. I have to say I have a really

cool job I guess it's not always easy but it's cool...and it's...

Finns always say it must be very difficult to teach Finns but actually

the exact opposite is true. The classes always go well, the

conversation always flows, there's not awkward silences. Finns, in general, are

learners so they really want to improve their English and they work hard...so it's a great job.

Observation number eight: Finns are great at using curse

words. I first visited Finland in December of 1998,

and I went to a bar with a friend of mine and I ended up getting into a

conversation with a drunk guy who was sort of low to intermediate level.

What I noticed the most was how amazing he was at using curse words. iIt's a very

difficult skill but he was able to do it amazingly, and since then Finns have not

let me down. This is something that Finn's just have and probably it comes

from pop culture and watching movies and television shows and whatever...but it's

an impressive skill.

Observation number 9: English gives Finns a license to act more social. I could

be totally wrong about this and I would love to hear your comments, but I think

there is some truth to it. When you're part of the society you're expected to

act in a certain way of course, it's just the way it goes. I think English just

gives you a little bit of a temporary escape, because you're expected to sort

of act more like the English way. Again, I would love to hear comments

because this could be totally off the mark. I'm not sure.

Observation number ten: Finns dis the old style of language teaching, but it

totally suited the times. I hear this all the time from students who are about

45 and older...how when they learned they didn't speak enough and all that. I

think at that time you really didn't need to speak. The world wasn't so global

in that way. Now it's changing because the world is smaller, it's

becoming more global, and verbal communication is more and more important.

Before you just had to read a lot and understand it in English, but now it's a

lot about speaking as well. Have some sympathy for those poor teachers who you

know had their outdated teaching methods because they weren't so outdated back

then, probably.

These glowing cells can be seen deep within animals' bodies - Duration: 2:46.

Using compounds that create the glow of a fireflys belly,

researchers were able to image cells deep in the brain

of this marmoset for over a year.

The blinking glow, or bioluminescence

of fireflies comes from a chemical reaction

in their lower abdomens.

The reaction varies slightly from species to species

but its all based on an enzyme and a compound

coming together with a little oxygen and ATP

as the reaction goes forward, light is emitted.

Scientists have been using variations on this reaction

for decades to non-invasively observe biological

processes in cells and small laboratory animals

But the light from these systems was not very bright

and needed to be pretty close to the surface to be seen.

Now researchers have engineered a modified

luciferase-luciferin pair

that glows up to 1,400 times brighter.

Researchers used directed evolution

to improve the enzyme's activity.

They introduced randomly mutated versions

of the enzyme into bacteria, then sprayed

the bacterial colonies with a specialized substrate

the colonies that glowed the brightest

were selected and mutated again.

21 generations later,

the optimized enzyme-substrate pair

glowed much brighter and was less toxic to cells.

The brighter glow was due in part to the fact

that the substrate was engineered to emit light

in a different part of the spectrum --

redder light passes more easily through tissue.

And the evolved enzyme was able to process

the substrate faster-- meaning more glowing

reactions in less time.

These improvements allowed the detection of cells

in living animals much deeper inside the animal

and with more precision.

Using a camera sensitive to near-infrared light,

researchers were able to detect single

transplanted tumor cells in the lung of a living mouse,

the equivalent of detecting a single firefly

in a space the size of a high school gym.

They were also able to monitor the activity

of specific neurons in mice

in reaction to novel environments.

And they followed cells deep in the brain

of a marmoset over the course of a year.

In the future, this new imaging technique

could help scientists learn about where

stem cells end up,

aid in monitoring the success of gene-editing,

and even track tumor growth in cancer patients.

A MUST WATCH! CHANGE YOUR MIND - SUCCESS - MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH - Duration: 32:30.

I was watching the Olympics this last Summer Olympics and I was amazed at how

bad the questions were that the reporters would ask all the athletes and

almost always they asked the same question whether they were about to

compete or after they competed were you nervous right and to a tee all the

athletes went no right and what I realized is it's not that they're not

nervous it's their interpretation of what's happening in their bodies I mean

what it what happens when you're nervous right your heart rate starts to go

you're you know you sort of get a little tense you get a little sweaty right

you have expectation of what's coming and we interpreted that is I'm nervous

now what's the interpretation of excited your heart rate starts to go you become

you're anticipating what's coming right you get a little sort of like tense it's

all the same thing it's the same stimuli except these athletes these these

Olympic quality athletes have learned to interpret the stimuli that the rest of

us would say is nervous as excited they all said the same thing no I'm not

nervous I'm excited and so I've actually practiced it just to tell myself when I

start to get nervous that this is excitement you know and so where when

you used to be speaking for the large audience and somebody'd say how do you

feel I say little nervous now when somebody says how do you feel like

really excited actually and it it came from just sort of telling myself no no

this is excitement and it becomes a little bit automatic later on but it's

kind of a remarkable thing to deal with pressure by interpreting what your body

is experiencing as excitement rather than nerves and it's really kind of

effective it makes you want to rush for is rather than pull back and yet it's

the same experience I think successes is is seeing those around you work to their

natural best and creating momentum for a vision towards a vision that will last

beyond yourself so a guy is driving a bus for 20 years got to retire he's on

Madison Avenue in New York packed every day is people getting on that bus and

getting off mm-hmm he has two kids wife lives in Queens

he might call himself successful another guy might be vice president of that

company who call self unsuccessful so his success what you make of it so it's

so this success is defined its successes of feeling it's not it's not a series of

check marks and goals a lot of people set financial goals I'm successful when

I make my first million okay now I have to make my second million its success is

a feeling and and it's the feeling of contribution so you were bus driver in

Queens if he has decided that his job as a bus driver is to ensure that everyone

who gets on his bus feels better about themselves because they got on his bus

and not another bus and so he greets them with a smile he says good morning

he says goodbye that people remember that that that that ride that they took

with him versus the this vice president of the company who's made it about

himself and his financial goals he's the one who's unhappy as opposed to

seeing those around him succeed and those around him go home with a love of

their their day you know because they come to work in his company every day so

I still believe success and and good leadership are about service to others

you'll find is that that the better you are at communicating your why people

will want to work for you regardless of the opportunity that you afford them

like they want to be a part of it yeah we do a little thing which we've been

doing for years and years and years called a give and take whenever there's

any kind of relationship whether it's a an outside partnership or even somebody

who joins our team we do something called a give-and-take where we want

somebody to be selfish and selfless within the relationship so not give and

get but give and take so we'll ask them what is it that you have to give to us

that you have that you think that we need right and they'll tell us and then

we'll say great what is it that you selfishly want from us

and we want them to tell us what they can get from us and that's so many when

those when those things match you have a balanced relationship because so example

I've had it with people you know they'll tell me what they what they have to

offer and that's awesome because that's what I want

and then they'll say what they have what they want to take and they go oh I want

to work with smart people I'm like plenty of smart people what is it you

want to take from me they're like I want to help build something wonderful do

that anywhere what do you want to take selfishly from me that you can get into

and if they can't answer the question I won't engage in a relationship and the

reason is because in time the relationship is unbalanced they're gonna

be giving but they're not taking and I don't even know how to get them what

they want then they'll complain that I'm making enough money or that because it's

not balanced that's right vision here's the here's the thing that's always

boggled my mind right why is it unbalanced unbalanced not always but

unbalanced why is it that small companies tend to be more innovative

than big companies right small companies that are under-resourced you can't

necessarily get the best and brightest they're gonna go to business any day and

yet there's they come up with brilliant ideas and big companies full of

resources full of amazing people by the little companies that come up with a

good ideas that's usually how big companies innovate they buy the smaller

ones right why is that why is it that the most resource companies tend not and

I think it's a question of reality and what I mean by that is small companies

their vision is is more distant than their grasp right

they have delusions of grandeur we're gonna change the world change industries

reinvent this reinvent that we have no money and no people but so what my point

is is the grasp is shorter than the vision and I think what happens is as

companies get bigger and bigger and bigger with more and more resources what

they start to do is one of two things either their grip their vision to become

well within their grasp and they don't rien or they actually

bring the vision back to put within their grasp s' right make things very

achievable difficult but achievable for vision to truly be vision it should feel

unachievable when a small business gets together it says here's our vision

everybody goes like this in big businesses we use a vision maybe goes

all right yeah got it we'll do a back plan and I I firmly believe that

innovation is born out of the struggle innovation is born out of the the

resourcefulness that you are forced to figure out because literally the

vision is way beyond your grasp regardless have many resources you have

it should always feel overwhelming and impossible take a group of people with

tons of resources to give them a vision they're gonna go okay I mean is the

feeling that you found something you're looking for or do you accomplish

something you set out to accomplish so you know that feeling you get when you

cross something off your to-do list that's dopamine feels awesome you know

when you when you have a goal to hit and you achieve that goal you're like yes

you feel like you've won something right that's dopamine the whole purpose of

dopamine is to make sure that we get stuff done right the historical reason

for dopamine we would never eat if we only waited to get until we got hungry

because there's no guarantee that we would find food so dopamine exists to

help us go looking for food we get dopamine when we eat which is one of the

reasons we like eating and so when you see something that reminds you of

something that feels good we want to do the behavior that helps us get that

feeling right so let's say you're out there going for a walk and you see an

apple tree in the distance you get a small head of dopamine and then what it

does is it focuses us on our goals and now we start walking towards the apple

tree and as the apple tree starts to get a little bigger we feel like we're

making progress you get another little shot of dopamine and another little

shadow dopamine until you get to the Train you're like yes okay this is why

we're told you must write down your goals your goals must be tangible

there's a there's a biological reason for that we were very very visually

oriented animals you have to be able to see the goal for it to biologically stay

focused right if you don't write down your goals if you can't see your goals

it's very hard to get motivated to get inspired for example think about

corporate visions right a corporate vision is have to be something we can

see right that's why it's called a vision you can see it right to be the

biggest most respected to be the fastest-growing are not visions they're

nothing right what does that even look like respected by whom your mother

yourself your friends you shareholders who knows what's the metric

dunno its Amorphis doesn't motivate us just like I can't tell you you will get

a bonus if you achieve more you're gonna ask me how much more I'm gonna say more

doesn't work you need a tangible goal you need a tangible goal right here's a

great vision Martin Luther King I have a dream that one day little black children

the little white children will play on the playground together and hold hands

together we can imagine that we can set our sights on that and every time we

achieve a goal and achieve a metric and achieve a milestone that makes us feel

like we're making progress to the the vision we can see we keep going and

going and going until we achieve something remarkable you have to be able

to see it dopamine like I said dopamine is the feeling you

get when you set out to find something you're looking for as well talked about

the to-do list I came home from a trip just a couple days ago and I had a bunch

of errands to run and I wrote down a little list of things I had to do and

off I went right and as I was walking past I think was the dry cleaner I

remember I was walking past something I remembered oh I have to do that and I

hadn't written it down on my I hadn't written down on my to-do list so I went

in and finished what I needed to do and then when I came out I then wrote it on

my to-do list and then crossed it out because I wanted the dopamine feels good

dopamine comes with a warning dopamine is highly highly highly addictive here

are some other things that release dopamine alcohol nicotine gambling your

cell phone oh you think I'm joking okay we've all

been told that you know if you wake up in the morning and you crave a drink you

might be an alcoholic well if you wake up in the morning the first thing you do

is check your phone before you even get out of bed might be an addict if you

walk from room to room in your own apartment holding your telephone you

might be an addict when you're driving in your car and you get a text and your

phone goes beep we we hate email true we love the beep the buzz the ding aw right

you'll be there in 10 minutes and yet you have to look at it right now you

might be an addict and even if you read it and it says are you free for dinner

next Thursday and you have to reply immediately you can't wait the 10

minutes you might be an addict and for all you Gen Y is out there who

like to think that you're better at multitasking booze you grew up with the

technology then why do you keep crashing your cars when you're texting

you're not you're not better at multitasking you're better at getting

distracted in fact if you look at the statistics a DD and ADHD have diagnosis

of a DD and ADHD have risen 66% in the past ten years okay a DD and ADHD is a

frontal lobe disorder right are you telling me out of nowhere sixty-six

percent of our youth has the frontal lobe problem where did that come from

no it's a misdiagnosis right what what are the what are the symptoms of a

dopamine addiction to technology distractibility inability to get things

done easily easily distracted you know shortness of attention it's all the same

things so we misdiagnosed things it's this it's the addictive quality of

dopamine we can also get addicted to performance in our companies when all

they do is give us numbers to hit numbers to hit numbers to hit and a

bonus you get and a bonus you get and a bonus you get all they're doing is

feeding us with dopamine and we can't help ourselves all we do is want more

more MORE it's no surprise that the bank's destroyed the economy because one

of the things we know about dopamine addict is they will do anything to get

another hit sometimes at the sacrifice of their own resources and their

relationships ask any alcoholic gambling addict or drug addict just ask them how

their relationships are doing and if they've squandered any of their

resources it's an addiction dopamine is dangerous if it is unbalanced it is

hugely helpful when in a comfortable and balanced system but when unbalanced it's

dangerous and it's destructive a few months ago I stayed at the Four Seasons

in Las Vegas it is a wonderful hotel and the reason it's a wonderful hotel is not

because of the fancy beds any hotel can go and buy a fancy bed the reason it's a

wonderful hotel is because of the people who work there

if you walk past somebody at the Four Seasons than this and they say hello to

you you get the feeling that they actually wanted to say hello to you it's

not that somebody told them that you have to say hello to all the customers

say hello to all the guests right you actually feel that they care now in

their Lobby they have a coffee stand and I one afternoon I went to buy a cup of

coffee and there was a barista by the name of Noah who was serving me Noah was

fantastic he was friendly and fun and he was

engaging with me and I had so much fun buying a cup of coffee I actually think

I gave a hundred percent tip right he was wonderful so as is my nature I asked

Noah do you like your job and without skipping a beat Noah says I love my job

and so I followed up I said what is it that the four seasons is doing that

would make you say to me I love my job and without skipping a beat Noah said

throughout the day managers will walk past me and ask me how I'm doing if

there's anything that I need to do my job better he said not just my manager

any manager and then he said something magical he says I also work at Caesars

Palace and Caesars at Caesar's Palace the managers are trying to make sure

we're doing everything right they catch us when we do things wrong he says when

I go to work there I like to keep my head under the radar and just get

through the day so I can get my paycheck he says here at the four seasons I feel

I can be myself same person entirely a different experience from the from the

customer who will engage with Noah so we in leadership are always criticizing the

people we're always saying we've got to get the right people on the bus I've got

to fill my rung my team I gotta get the right people but the reality is it's not

the people it's the leadership if we create the right environment we will get

people like Noah at the four seasons if we create the wrong environment we

will get people like Noah at Caesar's Palace it's not the people and yet we're

so quick to hire and fire you can't hire and fire your children if there's if

your kids are struggling we don't say you got to see a school you're up for

adoption

so why is it that when somebody has performance problems at work why is it

that our instinct is to say you're out we do not practice empathy

what does empathy look like here's the lack of empathy this is normal in our

business world you walk into someone's office someone walks into our office and

says your numbers have been down for the third quarter in a row you have to pick

up your numbers otherwise I can't guarantee what the future will look like

how inspired you think that person is to come to work the next day here's what

empathy looks like you walk into someone's office someone walks into your

office and says your numbers are down for the third quarter in a row are you

okay I'm worried about you what's going on

we all have performance issues maybe someone's kid is sick maybe they're

having problems in their marriage maybe one of their parents is dying we don't

know what's going on in their lives and of course it will affect performance at

work empathy is being concerned about the human being not just their output

and we have to practice empathy there are known and unknown players you don't

know all the competitors necessarily in one industry to another the rules are

changeable we haven't all agreed what the rules are and there is no winning

the game of business right the game just perpetuates in fact the game of business

has existed longer than every single company on the planet today and it will

outlast every single coming up company on the planet today if you look at the

Dow index of 30 something odd companies that make up the down decks something

like 70 or 80 percent of those companies are 35 years or younger right so it gets

me thinking if you listen to the language that companies use they don't

know what game they're they talk about being number one talk about beating

their competition based on what agreed upon criteria based on what agreed-upon

timeframe is it market share is a profits is it revenues square footage

number of employees over what one month five months six months a year five years

ten years the life of the company I haven't agreed to those rules and so

companies can arbitrarily declare themselves number one and anything they

want if they set the standards of the time

and the only reason we do these things on annualized basis we tend you we tend

to compare ourselves to other organizations annually

there's only because we pay taxes annually if we pay taxes every 18 months

that would be sort of the standard but again we still haven't agreed what the

metrics are to be number one that means the companies that are playing the

infinite game are playing against most of the others were playing the finite

game means those finite companies find themselves in quagmire almost every

single bankruptcy not almost everything every single bankruptcy is a company

that's run out of the will or the resources to play they drop out of the

game the game will persist another company will fill their space it's not

like it's not like the business stops of the industry ends and the companies that

are playing the infinite game will frustrate those finite players which I

absolutely adore so I spoke at an education summit for Microsoft I also

spoke in an education summit for Apple now I would say about 70 to 80 percent

of the executives at Microsoft spent about 70 to 80 percent of their

powerpoints talking about how to beat Apple at the Apple summit a hundred

percent of the executives spent a hundred percent of their presentations

talking about how to help teachers teach and how to help students learn one was

obsessed with their journey with their vision with their cause the other one

was obsessed with their competition guess who's stuck in quagmire guess

who's frustrated by their competition I did a little experiment with them with a

homeless person not like on them it's not like electrodes with them

voluntarily helped me because the whole idea of giving right give it give it you

we you've all walked down the street and you've all seen someone begging and you

either have or haven't thrown a few pennies in their cup when you do you

feel good you bought that feeling that is a legitimate commercial transaction

you know commercial transactions are defined as the exchange of consideration

there was an exchange of consideration here you gave money

you got the feeling of goodwill you paid for that feeling if you didn't give

money you either feel nothing or you feel bad you can't feel good by not

giving all right you paid for that feeling so now the question is how is

that person encouraging us to give the joke is they act like every corporation

in the world they talk about themselves me me me me me me me right like they sit

there with their little outdoor advertising little sign right and it

says I'm homeless I'm hungry I got 12 kids I'm a veteran god bless

they got it all in they're trying to appeal to somebody the religious vote

the veteran vote you know the child sympathizer surround yourself with lots

of pets go for that one too right all in an attempt to get something from someone

takers not givers right all about me well what what corporations do we've

added more RAM we've added more ROM we've added more speed this one's number

one we're the biggest we're the best we've been around since 1969 we're

better than them we're faster than them we're more efficient than that one me me

me me me me me me me me and so even if we buy their product guess what yeah I

mean we're gonna feel much so I did this little experiment I found a nice

homeless lady on the streets of New York was willing to help out and I learned

that with her sign which was pretty typical I'm homeless I'm hungry

she makes between 20 and 30 dollars a day for you know for a day's worth of

work eight to ten hours of sitting there selling goodwill 8 to 10 hours she'll

make 20 to $30 $30 is considered a good day I changed her sign and the new sign

made her $40 in two hours and then she left

it's one of the reasons she's homeless is because she's decided that she only

needs 20 to 30 dollars a day to live if she stayed she would have made $150 the

point is she made 40 bucks in two hours where the signs say the sign said if you

only give once a month please think of me next time it has nothing to do with

the taker it has everything to do with the giver and what are the objections

people give when they don't give I can't give to everyone how do I know that they

really need it and so I addressed both those concerns I know you can't get to

everyone so if you only give once a month my cause is legitimate I will

still be here when you're ready to give 40 bucks to ours make it about them not

about you the fact of the matter is 100 percent of customers are people and 100

percent of clients are people and 100 percent of employees are people I don't

care how good your product is I don't care how good your marketing is I don't

care how good your design is if you don't understand people you don't

understand business we are social animals we are human beings and our

survival depends on our ability to form trusting relationships do you ever watch

Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel slipping through channels one night and

Deadliest Catch came on and on this episode just random they were in a huge

storm now for those of you who don't know Deadliest Catch they take these

crab fishing boats out in the Bering Sea which is like terrible and they put

cameras on them and we watch right the reason that's I guess significant is

because these crab fishermen have I think one of the top 5 deadliest jobs in

the world you know I don't know what the exact number is but dozens of fishermen

die every year doing doing this we apparently find that entertaining which

it actually is so they have cameras only on five or six of the ships even though

there are many many meas ships that go out fishing every season and they don't

really come into proximity with each other because you know that the oceans

huge and they usually sabotage and and give each other false information

because they're all competitors they're all looking to get the crabs and you

know make sure that they find them somebody else doesn't and yeah it's

business right it's just business it's okay

we all do the same thing in our own companies and in this one episode this

big huge storm was so violent that they had to bring all the pots which are the

big cages that they catch the crabs and they'd to bring all the pots back on the

boat and wait out the storm and just by dumb luck one of the boats

that had cameras on it was in proximity of a boat that didn't have cameras on it

and so they filmed they had secured all their pots on the deck and so they

started filming the other boat and they filmed a guy climbing on the outside of

the cage securing the pots and all of a sudden a huge wave hits the side of the

boat and the guys not there anymore and the people on the boat with the camera

starts screaming Man Overboard Man Overboard Man Overboard and they turned

our boat towards where they think he might be he's a stranger they don't know

him they don't know the crew members of the other boat and yet they react and

they turned towards him and they find him in the drink and for those of you

don't understand how dangerous this is if the water is so cold that if you're

in the water for I think that it's a minute or a minute 30 hypothermia will

set in and you die and they come upon him and he's screaming don't let me die

don't let me die and they pull him on board not out of the woods yet they

strip off his clothes because it's wet and cold and they wrap blankets around

him to prevent hyperthermia from setting in and he survives and it's overwhelming

and the captain comes down and this is all I mean you can go watch it on TV the

camera comes the captain comes down and he honks this stranger this young man

his competitor he hugs this guy as if he's his own son I lost it everybody is

crying and you realize what happened here was a human interaction and the

reason they risk their own lives to help this other person even though they spend

every other day trying to get ahead and sabotage is because at the end of the

day they're all crab fishermen and they know something about each other and they

know something about the risk that they all take to do this and when push comes

to shove they will put themselves out there to help each other for no other

reason than they get it there one of the same I will promise you that every

single member of that crew that day went home with a feeling of fulfillment I

promise you that every single person on that crew that day felt more good in

their hearts and in their jobs than the richest day they've ever pulled in my

question is is what are you doing to help the person next to you don't you

want to wake up and go to work for the only reason that you can do something

good for someone else when you want them to do that for you

there's a brilliant leader by the name of David mark hey who wrote a book

called turn the ship around and he had an experience as a submarine captain on

the USS scent effect where he realized that as much as he knew about

submarining you know he'd been a submarine or his

whole career that put on this new submarine he learned the hard way that

he actually didn't know how the submarine work he made an order that

nobody knew how to do it because there was that didn't exist on that sub and so

he realized he had no choice but to trust his people and he went through

this transformation as a leader of telling everybody what to do to allowing

people to tell him what should be done and I've learned a lot from him and I

highly recommend his book and and I've really learned that which is you know at

the top of the organization as David says the people have all the authority

the leaders have all the authority but at the bottom they have all the context

right and so you can't just push all the context up you have to push the

authority down and so the responsibilities of leadership is to

train people make sure that they have the skillset help build their confidence

that they have the confidence to do what needs to be done

to have competence and confidence and that's that's your job that's the only

job at the leader makes it's like like a parent

make sure they have competence and confidence you know make sure your kids

get schooling and make sure that they believe in themselves and then leave

them you know and so I've done the same thing instead of sort of showing people

how I would do it I want them to learn how it's done you know and feel good

about themselves and then just however they do it is how they do it yeah you

know and the result is remarkable um people feel better about coming to work

they feel like they have something to contribute they feel more valuable as

opposed to just being told this is how I would do it or I'm going to do it this

way or do it my way so yeah completely changing my

understanding of my job as more like a parent than a manager has had remarkable

impact speak to businesses and companies and leadership teams and employees and

stuff without mentioning names I don't want to put you on the spot but have you

gone and talked to a company that's been in trouble and then spoken to their team

and then checked in on them after you've spoken to their leadership team and what

did that look like did you notice a noticeable change did they come to you

and tell you that this has helped our organization out and our culture is much

improved because of it you mean does my work

I mean sure here's the problem with my stuff you got to do it and I am NOT I'm

not anybody's like you know mom or dad I'm not gonna do it for you and I have a

very less fair approach of it I once had a once at a client this is a bunch of

years ago that said what guarantee do I have that your stuff will work which my

answer was none like I'm giving you a tool you can it's like a hammer you can

use it broadly or narrowly you can build a table you can build a house it's the

same tool you can use it for marketing you can use it completely revitalize

your entire culture and even though I'm gonna sell you the most beautiful hammer

I'm not gonna guarantee the structural integrity of the house right it's your

business you won't ignore all my stuff ignore it

I don't care it's your and if your business collapses you know what happens

to me nothing like I don't mean to be cold about it like of course I want the

people I work with to do well but it's not mine

it's theirs and I take no emotional responsibility but the decisions they

make so yes there are many people that I've had the pleasure of working with

some who work for dysfunctional organizations that went on the hard

journey of completely changing the way they lead and completely revitalizing

their culture and it has great success it's not because of me it's because of

them right at the same time there are many people who came in like what an

amazing speech and did nothing you know thanks that was great you know and I

don't it's of course it's gonna fail you know so I I think that we we have too

much I'd especially in the consulting world or the design world

everybody's so paternalistic about it ein designers are famous for this right

they get so personally offended when the client chooses the wrong thing oh don't

they know we're trying to help them

or who cares like it's their freaking business right that's what you find

I've had that instead of arguing with somebody for them to the right choice

which cuz we genuinely want to help them what I have found is if you push the

accountability down to because when we argue we're taking accountability this

is better this will help you we're taking responsibility accountability but

if we say look we've been doing this a bunch of years we know more about design

than you do I'm telling you for every reason that I can outline for you why

this will help you more but if you don't want to do it that's fine it's your

business do what you want the minute you switch the accountability and put it all

on them amazingly they're much more open to your opinion because now they're

responsible

Finns and their English - Ten Observations (with subtitles) - Duration: 5:52.

Hello everyone, and welcome to 'English Tips for Finns.' In this video I'm going

to make 10 observations about Finns and their English skills. I think the

overall theme of the video is this that the English level of Finn's is amazingly

high. I'm totally impressed with the way Finns handle English. I think if you

could somehow measure how different English is from another language and how

people within a country that speak that language speak English, Finns would be

way up here -- you can't see my hand, but it's way up here -- and the next country

would be way down here. I really do believe that. These are just

observations I've made from 20 years of living and teaching in Finland. They're

not really facts, so you're gonna disagree with them or agree with them or

whatever. Please leave all comments in the comment section below, and please

like, share and subscribe...and let's get started.

Observation number one: Finns speak English freakishly well. Every year, the company English First does a study

where they compare the English levels of most of the countries in the world, and

Finland finishes near the top every single year. It's not a very

scientific study, but in this case I think it is pretty accurate. Finland is

one of the better English-speaking countries. This year, for example, Finland

finished seventh which is actually low for Finland. The first five were in the

same language family as English -- the Germanic language family -- and they were

the Nordic countries (MY NOTE: Holland was number one) -- the sixth was Singapore which is a former British

colony. Finland is in the Uralic language family so it's not even close to the

other languages. It just gives you an indication of how well that Finns speak

and how impressive it is that they can.

Observation number two: When Finns speak English, the pronunciation is very clear.

I can always understand Finns no matter what level they are at. I think the

reason is is because in Finnish there isn't much intonation and that

makes the English sort of more monotone. It's not so sexy,

but it's very clear and understandable, and I think that is the most important thing.

Observation number three: The English reading levels of Finns is impressive.

I've seen elementary school textbooks, I've seen high school textbooks and I'm

totally impressed with how high level those textbooks are and how much the

education system challenges Finns. Even in university -- these very

complicated textbooks -- students are able to handle very well and that's just

because you have an awesome education system and because it's a very literate

society, in general.

Observation number four: The oral comprehension levels of Finns is at a

high level. This is something that is just so impressive to me. Even people who

have sort of low level English skills can understand quite a lot. You have

pop culture and you have lack of dubbing to thank for that, I think.

Observation number five: The grammar levels are also good considering the

huge differences between Finnish and English. There are huge differences

between Finnish and English -- and, actually, there's a lot of similarities which kind

of surprises me (how similar they can be). gain I think you have your

excellent education system to thank for that. The main areas of difficulty with

grammar are word order, prepositions and articles, in general.

Observation number six: Finns small talk better than they think. I did a whole

video on Finns and small talk. It is true: Finns always say they can't small

talk...but they small talk all the time and I small talk all the time with my

students. Of course it depends on the person and there's different levels and,

I guess overall, it could be a little bit better but it's much better than people think.

Observation number seven: Teaching Finns is easy. I have to say I have a really

cool job I guess it's not always easy but it's cool...and it's...

Finns always say it must be very difficult to teach Finns but actually

the exact opposite is true. The classes always go well, the

conversation always flows, there's not awkward silences. Finns, in general, are

learners so they really want to improve their English and they work hard...so it's a great job.

Observation number eight: Finns are great at using curse

words. I first visited Finland in December of 1998,

and I went to a bar with a friend of mine and I ended up getting into a

conversation with a drunk guy who was sort of low to intermediate level.

What I noticed the most was how amazing he was at using curse words. iIt's a very

difficult skill but he was able to do it amazingly, and since then Finns have not

let me down. This is something that Finn's just have and probably it comes

from pop culture and watching movies and television shows and whatever...but it's

an impressive skill.

Observation number 9: English gives Finns a license to act more social. I could

be totally wrong about this and I would love to hear your comments, but I think

there is some truth to it. When you're part of the society you're expected to

act in a certain way of course, it's just the way it goes. I think English just

gives you a little bit of a temporary escape, because you're expected to sort

of act more like the English way. Again, I would love to hear comments

because this could be totally off the mark. I'm not sure.

Observation number ten: Finns dis the old style of language teaching, but it

totally suited the times. I hear this all the time from students who are about

45 and older...how when they learned they didn't speak enough and all that. I

think at that time you really didn't need to speak. The world wasn't so global

in that way. Now it's changing because the world is smaller, it's

becoming more global, and verbal communication is more and more important.

Before you just had to read a lot and understand it in English, but now it's a

lot about speaking as well. Have some sympathy for those poor teachers who you

know had their outdated teaching methods because they weren't so outdated back

then, probably.

Predaking vs Darksteel & Skylynx | TFP: Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising (2013) CLIP (+Subtitles) - Duration: 4:59.

Where are you taking us? We have a right to know!

Greetings, fellow Decepticons.

Starscream. Thank the stars! We can finally escape

- this dreaded ship. - No, doctor.

We must, in fact, take this ship...

by whatever means necessary.

Primary fusion cannons, null-rays, ion blasters

everything we need to stand a fighting chance against

- Unicron's army. - B, in case I never get

another chance to say this, you've really proved your mettle.

I'd like to think my actions always spoke louder than my words, Arcee.

But it didn't hurt to watch and learn from the best.

It would be nice if Optimus showed up about now.

I was referring to a powerful little two-wheeler I know.

Autobots! Surrender this warship!

Ah-Ah-Ah.

Funny how the Immobilizer can freeze bots in their tracks...

- before it's activated. - And, in case you're

wondering, Smokescreen is in no position to come

to your rescue right now.

Scrap.

- Skylynx, look! One of us! - Indeed, Darksteel

most likely our predecessor.

The burial ground desecrated, strip-mined of all

that remained of our ancestors.

You should have been here to see 'em rise and shine!

- They live? - If you call being undead "living"

Dark magic perpetrated by the demon who lives in Megatron's skin.

Just be glad you're alive so the demon can't

- pull your strings. - Do you not comprehend the

scope of this tragedy? We three are proof that our

mighty race might once again have flourished.

Their remains must be reclaimed, if for no other reason

- than to be properly laid back to rest. - And who made you boss?

I am not your boss. I am your King!

Nah, Scream won't use it. He needs us if he's gonna stand

- any chance of surviving Unicron. - You misunderstand.

I do not intend to use this warship for battle

but for quickly getting as far as possible from this doomed planet.

Earth would be nice, now that

Unicron no longer seems to be calling it home.

Shut up, you! Now move away from the controls,

- Bulkhead, or get stiff! - There's just one thing you've

overlooked, Scream. That device you're holding

- not the Immobilizer. - What?! What do you mean?

Aah-ya-yah!

I will silence you forever. Huh?

Now will you believe I'm joining the winning team?

- Knockout, we needed that! - Wait. It... really was the Immobilizer?

Ha!

All hail.. Predaking.

An impressive display for my creations.

But would it not be more logical

to employ your might elsewhere this time?

Unicron Defeated (Scene) | Transformers Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising (2013) CLIP - Duration: 5:00.

So, the Prime returns!

Ugh!

Ugh!

Jacky!

Thank you, Prime for delivering the Allspark so that

- I may erase it from existence. - Not while I stand before you, Unicron.

Megatron, you and I once united to save a world from Unicron.

- We must do so again. - Megatron may hear you,

but he cannot help you..

for he is enduring eternal suffering.

Your efforts to protect Cybertron's most sacred relic

are futile! My legion is within reach of Primus

your planet's very core.

And we both know that the Allspark cannot thrive

in a poisoned well.

Downside to wearing metal near a Polarity Gauntlet...

You're subject to the laws of magnetism.

Optimus, go! Save the Allspark!

I've been worse.

So, how are we gonna get that thing to safety?

By the only means available to us

under these most dire of circumstances.

The very survival of our species upon this

or any world depends upon it.

I shall devour your Allspark whole!

What?! A trick?!

As a being comprised of pure energy,

Unicron's Antispark was vulnerable to this reliquary of the Primes.

- But if he's in there, where's - Praise the Allspark!

- Master! You're alive! - Indeed.

Your new battle armor will take things to the next level,

My liege. Together we will reunite all

Decepticons and once again grind Cybertron under

- your mighty heel! - No!

What? Why?

Because I now know the true meaning of oppression...

and have thus lost my taste for inflicting it.

Uh, you've clearly been traumatized, master.

A good power-down and a stroll around the smelting

pit will put you back in touch with your inner warlord.

Enough! The Decepticons are no more, and that is final.

Wildfires and Climate Change the Focus of Joint Committee Hearing - Duration: 4:28.

I'd like to start by reading a quote from a hearing this committee had to a couple of

years ago on 4/8/2015 and the quotas are climate change our climate is changing and this poses

a serious threat to our environment public health and ultimately our way of life of course

how quickly and severely this thread impacts us largely depends on how quickly and aggressively

we meet the challenge over the next few decades significant reductions in GHG emissions will

be necessary to avoid the worst consequences of climate change mitigation efforts will

touch nearly every aspect of California's infrastructure planning and investment that

was my opening statement to that hearing back in 2015 which focused presently at that time

on our changing weather patterns particularly in the western United States as a result of

climate change the hearing followed a NASA study that was released just a few months

earlier and that predicted extreme weather patterns and cautioned that extreme drought

for the region in it decades ahead would become the norm.

After 5 years of drought now last year gave us an abundance of snow in what felt like

a replenishment of our water supplies but as we sit here on February 21 we are again

experiencing record low snow pack and rainfall and we're left contemplating another long

drought period just as NASA protected those several years ago and in that April 8 hearing

we also learned of projections by Lawrence Berkeley national laboratory that snow water

in California will decline by 16 percent over the next 20 years 34 percent by 2070 and an

astounding 41 percent by the end of the century.

41 perceptible was the heart of our water delivery system could see a 10 to 15 percent

increase in water flows by 2070 in the months from December to March as rainfall replaces

snow fall as a result there could be a 30 percent decrease in water flows from April

to July as there will no longer be snow packed melting to provide water in the summer months

weather modeling shown at that time detailed this to be the same for many other river systems

throughout the Pacific Northwest and southwest well today we're going to get an update on

this modeling from our very troubling modeling from our climate experts the information hearing

today will focus on the wildfires in 2017 as well the recovery where efforts that are

now under way and what this all means for our future.

We've been talking about record breaking fires and an unusually long fire system every year

and the subcommittee for some time now in fact 8 of the state's most destructive wildfires

occurred in the last 5 years the fires last year burned into December which is historically

outside of our fire season it suffices to say the extreme and changing weather patterns

are contributing if not directly causing the devastating wildfires that we've witnessed

over the last few years from Yosemite in 2013 to Lake County in 2016 and more recently the

fires that ravaged the communities napa Sonoma Santa Barbara and Ventura counties we are

unfortunately facing a new reality no doubt are changing climate has something to do with

this.

Our poor forest management practices further exacerbate the situation and decades of fire

suppression of cost force lance to get to dance making them more susceptible to large

and devastating wildfires the impacts of these fires are widespread.

In effect a multitude of areas I think it's tempting to talk about all of this today but

time is a constraint bearing today's to going to be really a primer I think for what will

be many discussions to follow and the subject deserves many discussions.
