As of 2018, there are around 2.5 billion smartphone users in the world.
If we broke open all their newest phones,
which are just a fraction of the total that've been built,
and split them into their component parts,
that would produce around 85,000 kilograms of gold,
875,000 of silver,
and 40 million kilograms of copper.
How did this precious cache get into our phones,
and can we reclaim it?
Gold, silver, and copper are actually just a few
of the 70 or so chemical elements that make up the average smartphone.
These can be divided into different groups,
two of the most critical being rare earth elements
and precious metals.
Rare earths are a selection of 17 elements that are actually common in Earth's crust
and are found in many areas across the world in low concentrations.
These elements have a huge range of magnetic,
phosphorescent,
and conductive properties
that make them crucial to modern technologies.
In fact, of the 17 types of rare earth metals,
phones and other electronics may contain up to 16.
In smartphones, these create the screen and color display,
aid conductivity,
and produce the signature vibrations,
amongst other things.
And yet, crucial as they are,
extracting these elements from the earth
is linked to some disturbing environmental impacts.
Rare earth elements can often be found,
but in many areas,
it's not economically feasible to extract them due to low concentrations.
Much of the time,
extracting them requires a method called open pit mining
that exposes vast areas of land.
This form of mining destroys huge swaths of natural habitats,
and causes air and water pollution,
threatening the health of nearby communities.
Another group of ingredients in smartphones
comes with similar environmental risks:
these are metals such as copper,
silver,
palladium,
aluminum,
platinum,
tungsten,
tin,
lead,
and gold.
We also mine magnesium,
lithium,
silica,
and potassium to make phones,
and all of it is associated with vast habitat destruction,
as well as air and water pollution.
Mining comes with worrying social problems, too,
like large-scale human and animal displacement
to make way for industrial operations,
and frequently, poor working conditions for laborers.
Lastly, phone production also requires petroleum,
one of the main drivers of climate change.
That entwines our smartphones inextricably with this growing planetary conundrum.
And, what's more,
the ingredients we mine to make our phones aren't infinite.
One day, they'll simply run out,
and we haven't yet discovered effective replacements for some.
Despite this,
the number of smartphones is on a steady increase;
by 2019 it's predicted that there'll be close to 3 billion in use.
This means that reclaiming the bounty within our phones
is swiftly becoming a necessity.
So, if you have an old phone,
you might want to consider your options before throwing it away.
To minimize waste, you could donate it to a charity for reuse,
take it to an e-waste recycling facility,
or look for a company that refurbishes old models.
However, even recycling companies need our scrutiny.
Just as the production of smartphones
comes with social and environmental problems,
dismantling them does too.
E-waste is sometimes intentionally exported to countries
where labor is cheap but working conditions are poor.
Vast workforces, often made up of women and children,
may be underpaid,
lack the training to safely disassemble phones,
and be exposed to elements like lead and mercury,
which can permanently damage their nervous systems.
Phone waste can also end up in huge dump sites,
leaching toxic chemicals into the soil and water,
mirroring the problems of the mines where the elements originated.
A phone is much more than it appears to be on the surface.
It's an assemblage of elements from multiple countries,
linked to impacts that are unfolding on a global scale.
So, until someone invents a completely sustainable smartphone,
we'll need to come to terms
with how this technology affects widespread places and people.

Grouping Contacts - Duration: 7:58.
- With your contacts now in your account
in a way to capture future contacts,
let's go over how to group them.
There are three primary ways
that you're able to group your contacts
in ActiveCampaign and that's what we wanna discuss here.
Now, just to set expectations,
we won't be going into detail for each one.
That's later videos.
Right now I wanna give you a basic understanding of each
so you're aware of how they function
and you can start thinking of how it applies
to your business.
So, let's start with the type.
The first one
is a list.
This is the one that most people are probably familiar with.
You've heard of lists or email lists,
it's not hard to understand placing your contacts on a list
but it is important to note
we use lists a bit different in ActiveCampaign.
I would say we use lists the right way.
So, let's describe, let me give you a few words
to help you understand how to look at lists
in the right way.
So, when I think of lists in ActiveCampaign,
I'm thinking of a broad means
of grouping my contacts.
This means the people on this list
have the most in common.
They have the attributes between the contacts
on the list does not change very much.
So, that means it's not only broad
but it's also basic.
And I've got one more B for you.
It's more than likely going to be big.
So, when it comes to lists in ActiveCampaign,
think of it in terms of broad grouping
by basic attributes and it's probably gonna result
in a big list.
Now, that's not a negative thing,
it's not something to say oh, let me keep my list
as small as possible.
These are just words for you
to attribute to each way that you can group your contacts.
Next, let's talk about the second one which is tags.
Now, when we talk about tags,
we're going from the known to a little bit
of the unknown land.
While you may have been familiar with lists,
you may not be that familiar with tags.
So, I've got three words for tags as well
to help you memorize exactly how to approach them
so you can start thinking about how to use them
in your business.
The first one is fast.
It's getting exciting.
Tags are fast.
They can be quickly applied
and they can be quickly removed.
And given that functionality,
that makes them very flexible.
I can use tags
to do a plethora of things in ActiveCampaign
as you'll see
and a lot of times that functionality
is extended by way of third parties.
So, you'll see there are times
where third parties are other tools
that tie into ActiveCampaign,
can add or remove a tag
thus bringing on my last F which is functional.
Tags are extremely functional.
If you're moving from email marketing
and diving head first into marketing automation,
tags are going to be the way to help you become more dynamic
just based on their functional nature.
Last but not least,
we'll talk about the third way
of grouping your contacts
and that is custom field.
Think of custom fields as attributes specific
to the contact.
An example is your first name, your email,
your gender, these are all things
that are input to ActiveCampaign directly
to the contact record
and very specific.
So, let me, I've got three words
for custom fields too.
One is specific.
As I mentioned, very specific to the customer
or the contact in question.
The next one, slow changing.
These are so important to understand and memorize
because if a custom field is holding data
that's slow changing,
what does that mean?
We can probably rely on that data a lot more
than the other ways of grouping
because we can trust
that it won't change as fast
and for an example, you tell me how hard is it
to change your last name?
Is that a simple process?
Do you just fill out a form and your last name is changed?
So, this data, this custom field data
is going to very much be slow changing in nature.
The last one
is storage.
This is where you're going to store
most of the data that you collect for your contact.
And to tie it altogether,
the effective use of all three of these,
this is so important.
Listen, when you're using ActiveCampaign,
the goal is not to rank one greater than the other,
the goal is to use them all in sync with one another
to create a personalized marketing experience.
So, the effective use of all three of them
is what is called segmentation.
Segmentation.
Some of you may have heard of this term.
Segmentation deals with the process
of grouping your contacts by like attributes
and/or actions.
So, when your contacts share attributes or actions,
we wanna group them so that we know
how to speak to them.
So, another word for segmentation
is grouping.
Which brings us back to the basics of contact grouping.
Before we end, I just wanna mention one more thing.
As we look at these three ways,
one last thing that I want you to keep in mind
is that as you go down,
this is gonna be more targeted
in terms of your messaging
and this is gonna be less targeted
and remember, this is gonna make sense
as you progress through the course
but the more information that I can gather
on my contacts and effectively group them,
the better off I'll be with sending the right message
to them at the right time.
Remember that active grouping contacts
with like attributes or actions taken
is called segmentation.
It is the foundation to personalizing your marketing.
The more accurate your segmentation,
the more accurate your messaging will be.
In the following videos, we'll cover the two primary ways
to create segments.
That is by using tags and by using custom fields.
Check it out.

Why holograms might be the future of rock [REUPLOAD] - Duration: 5:08.
Hi frrriends! It's Andriy Vasylenko.
Dio is back! Kind of.
Only his voice and the shape of his body, projected on a piece of glass.
Some of the fans were fascinated to see him again.
And others came to hate, as they called it, 'a fake that's milking Dio's memory'.
This is a case when both sides have strong arguments.
Everybody loves and misses Ronnie...
And the fans started suggesting who might be "resurrected" this way next
So, here's the question:
where is the edge between ethics, technology, and business?
Is it appropriate to bring our idols back as 3D figures
singing not breathing and raising up horns not seeing yours?
But before that, let's find out what is a hologram.
Hologram is a photographic recording of a subject, displayed in 3 dimensions.
This technology has been in progress since 1940s.
It means that a real hologram still does not exist,
because there's no laser to create hovering figures, like from sci-fi movies.
Everything you've seen, actually, was a gimmick with some visual perception of depth.
This illusion's called 'Pepper's Ghost' which was popularized in XIX century as a theatrical trick.
It's being staged this way: a very lightened object is reflecting on the glass placed above at an angle of 45.
So, from a viewer's position it looks like a ghost flying in the air.
Basically, this is how fata-morgana - a natural "hologram" - works:
when an object such as an oasis, a ship, or even a whole city is visible from a big distance
due to light refraction in the atmosphere.
And this mirage technique was used to stage performances of Gorillaz,
and later - deceased stars such as Tupac, Michael Jackson, and Ronnie James Dio.
Seems like the majority of Dio's fans can't accept it.
They say 'it's disrespectful' and 'we have to let him rest in piece'.
And I can agree with them:
in THIS form, following THIS promotion
the idea of bringing back our hero looks cheaper than it could've been.
But maybe if we slightly change our perspective, all turns out not that bad?
What if to look at this as a rough attempt to expand our vision on where human life goes?
We're constantly observing the progress of cinematic technology:
first we added sound, then colors, then the sound became voluminous,
and now the picture follows that way – to be really 3-dimensional, looking naturally and being safe.
Even if the first tries are not that successful, it's not a reason to bury this technology.
Or, rather, this idea: remember that we haven't invented true holograms.
An old picture brings up memories and emotions.
And for us it's something more than just piece of paper with a thin layer of paint.
Actually, a photograph is an advanced version of a painting: with better mechanical, not human strokes.
So, why not to consider holograms as ultra-progressive pictures?
Just imagine how far this could go. For example
classic shows converted into holograms, similar to how old movies now become 3D.
In this form it might look more acceptable
Not everyone of us had a chance to see Cliff, or Freddy, or Dimebag.
Anyway, these were just my thoughts. I personally feel the potential in this idea.
Green technologies, space exploration, holograms – why resisting it?
Even if not everything's going smooth at the very beginning.
We learn on mistakes. This is how we grow. This is how our life improves.
I hope you took it easy. Express your point in comments.

What If Iku Turso Was Real? - Duration: 4:07.
The Iku Turso Is an evil sea monster from finnish mythology. He?s basically Finland?s
loch ness monster, only a lot more bad-ass. According to literature, the iku turso is
responsible for the spread of disease and he is essentially the god of death. The iku
Turso is just a legend, but what if he wasn?t? What if he really was lurking at the bottom
of the Baltic sea somewhere, and if he was disturbed, he would wreak havoc on the world?
Lets imagine what would happen, right now, on life?s biggest questions. Hello and welcome
back to life?s biggest questions, the channel that imagines the impossible. I?m your host,
charlotte dobre, and if you love a good sea monster story, hit that thumbs up button.
If this is your first time here, make sure you subscribe to life?s biggest questions
for more of life?s biggest answers. In the second world war, one of the submarines that
was used by Finland was named after the iku torso, There are many different descriptions
of the iku turso monster, all of them describing him differently. Some of the accounts describe
it as being a giant octopus with long tentacles and suckers. Other accounts say he has a thousand
heads. One thing?s for certain, he?s a very important figure in Finnish literature. His
habitat is the Baltic sea, and large lakes. And if you disturb him, he becomes very angry
and aggressive. Most of the accounts of him seem to suggest that he is the embodiment
of all evil. Alright, so first things first, if the iku turso was real, all the countries
surrounding its habitat, the Baltic sea would have quite a bit to worry about. Finland,
Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark and Poland and Germany all surround the Baltic
Sea. Viking history would be extremely different if the Iku Turso turned out to be real. Kattegat,
once a major Viking settlement, lies right at the mouth of the Baltic Sea. The Vikings
would travel from Kattegat to surrounding areas, raiding villages and towns. And it?s
not just the Vikings, there were many pagan tribes during the iron age that would engage
in maritime warfare and raiding. There was a lot of fighting among these tribes, and
most of them travelled around the Baltic sea using long boats. As it stands right now,
the iku turso?s character is somewhat static. Mentions of him vary in description. If the
iku turso was real, he would be thought of as a god, and we would see a lot more mentions
of him. There would be evidence of temples and art, poems, songs and stories. These pagans
were passionate about their religions, imagine how passionate they would be if one of their
gods, the iku turso, turned out to be real. Each tribe would have a high priest or priestess,
given the task of determining iku turso?s temperament. Maybe these high priest and priestesses
would decide ways to keep iku turso happy so that tribes could travel safely. Maybe
with sacrifices, with offerings or songs. Pagan fashion and manner of dress would resemble
how the iku turso looked, and trust me, it wouldn?t be cute. We?d see norsemen sporting
weird beards adorned with tentacles. Women wearing elaborate tentacle adorned gowns.
It could even be said that maybe many of these tribes wouldn?t have existed at all if the
iku turso turned out to be real. Seeing as their culture heavily revolves around the
sea and being able to travel around on the sea in boats, this would not make iku turso
very happy. He would likely become irritated by the wars and raids going on on the surface
of the sea, so he would rise up and smite entire tribes and settlements with diseases,
killing them off. Either that, or these cultures would not have evolved to be maritime cultures
at all. They would stay on land, to keep the iku turso at bay. Travel would be done on
foot, rather than by boat. It could mean that the entire history of the Vikings would be
different, or they would go around raiding areas of Europe that were far away from iku
turso. And lets think about what would happen in the 20th century if the iky turso turned
out to be real. The 20th century, with both its loud world wars, would have made him extremely
upset. He would rise up from the depths to plague all of Europe with a devastating disease,
wiping out nearly everyone. If the Iku Turso turned out to real, perhaps the world?s nations
would try to ban together to destroy it. Navys would flock to the Baltic sea in their submarines,
searching the depths for the iku turso. Who knows, maybe with modern weapons, they would
be able to destroy him, especially if he were real and not a supernatural being.

I Review McDonald's Bacon Smokehouse Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Duration: 13:49.
Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty...
Food Review! Well, hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is Running On Empty Food Review.
I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
So welcome to another food review. Happy October!
Let's hope this will be a wonderful month for all of us! And to start off
the new month is a review for an item that's been out for a couple months already, but forget about that, right?
McDonald's is everywhere!
Today's review is for the
bacon smokehouse
chicken well actually, it's, it's an artisan chicken. It's the bacon smokehouse
Let me just find the name of this thing.
The Bacon Smokehouse
Buttermilk
Crispy Chicken Sandwich. What a name I tell you.
Oh gosh, alright, what does it have on? Because we have the title, you know what it is, comes with applewood smoked bacon,
bacon onion sauce,
real white cheddar cheese,
also comes with a sweet mustard and
onion strings. I wrote them down
on a piece of paper so I can
keep track of them, but it's certainly a sandwich that has quite a lot.
You might say, you know that name sounds somewhat familiar. Did you review
anything of similar nature
perhaps
days of
old?
And the honest answer to that is yes indeed. I have indeed. I actually reviewed the burger version of it.
Of course, it's an artisan sandwich.
So, you know they try to, they try to just make it a little bit more fancy. They try to,
you know, have the presentation make it more restaurant-esque. You know, you want your Big Macs and all that. That's fine, too!
But if you want to kick it up a notch,
so to speak, you want to get what some would deem to be a higher quality product
that's where this artisan line of sandwiches comes from. And
of course they are available in three variants:
burger form,
also available in
buttermilk crispy chicken form, and then in grilled chicken form.
So, you know, I figure I may as well give the chicken one a try. I've been craving
McDonald's lately, I didn't really have a problem with the burger one
so I thought well sometimes changing it to chicken can do it a lot of good or a lot of bad and
We'll just find out!
Signature crafted recipes and the signature crafted recipe box.
There I am looking soulless
into the camera with the signature crafted recipe box positioned here. So you all got a good view of that!
Okay, here is my sandwich you can see right now we have a bit of a mustard,
mustard, I don't want to call it a landslide but...
mustard avalanche I suppose? Or is it is it the sweet mustard?
That's a sweet mustard
avalanche. So, my apologies. I want to make sure I get the vernacular as on point as can be.
And we also seem to have
you know, some drippings, but it's contained but here's what the sandwich looks like. It actually does look as advertised.
You know, this is what it looks like. This is what they this is what they show on the website.
You can certainly see.
Gosh, I don't know why my memory's bad today.
I'm just gonna take this piece of paper and I'm just gonna put it up right here, so I'm forced to look at this silly thing.
non-stop.
Ugh so yeah, so these are...okay. There's the bacon onion sauce
right here.
That's the sweet mustard on the top in between that is the real, and they had to call it "real" white cheddar cheese.
Onion strings and bacon are kind of up there. I'll de-bun it in a second. Then you can see the chicken patty.
So.
top bun going down you can see onion strings right there.
Then,
proceeding downward, is
kind of everything else right? You can see there's that chicken patty.
The
bacon onion sauce.
Bacon on the top, the real the real cheese, and then the chicken. All right. Well, we know what's on it.
Sorry that my memories kind of giving out on me today. But I
tell you my
one complaint just is that this sandwich is such a mouthful of words in regards to its actual name,
let alone the ingredients. So...
That's my only complaint so far, but you know what?
Forget about all that! As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter what they call it! You know? They can,
They can make a 500-word long name
And if it's really good, a committed few will get it. But, most people will say it's still too long! Onto the review...
Let's try this thing out!
I'll let you know what it tastes like. So it's the chicken variant of this - The Bacon Smokehouse Buttermilk
Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I gotta just write that on the board a hundred times to remember the name. Going in!
Want to hear the most dramatic thing you've ever heard in your life? Get ready! So...
It's Monday morning, the first of October.
Your stomach is growling and grumbling! And...
there is this
insatiable hunger
that is just it cannot be satisfied! You're trying everything: doughnuts,
pancakes.
Let's not even talked about the pizza!
But then you see it on the horizon -
a glimmer of hope,
a beacon of light,
the golden arches from McDonald's!!
You know right then and there this is where I need to be.
And...You go there. You're crawling in on your hands and knees!
And you look at the menu board. And...
You're looking at what they have.
And you say,
(Because I forgot the name already!), "I want to get the artisan
chicken sandwich
smokehouse one!"
They serve it up, it's hot it's fresh.
This is gonna be it!
You bite in.
The chicken is on point - tastes good. It's juicy!
It has that thickness to it. There's substance.
It's not overcooked. It's not overly crispy, but it has a nice crunch to it -
delicious!
You made it over the first hurdle.
Now come the toppings:
Applewood smoked bacon, a couple pieces on there. I could definitely taste that bacon!
Awesome!
That white cheddar cheese blends in great with the chicken. And I can tell you that that is, indeed,
Real! (as they said on the website)
None of that fake white cheddar cheese.
But is this still gonna cure your hunger? You keep devouring the sandwich. Onion strings dead ahead!
They're crunchy. They're flavorful. Blends together good. No problems. Then the bacon onion sauce comes.
Not a single issue with that either - has this just nice honey barbecue-esque flavor.
It just blends everything together. It's a delicious sandwich. You can't stop yourself!
And then you hit a wall!
Sweet mustard!!
You had such high hopes.
You thought this was gonna be the one thing that
cures your Monday morning hunger!
And as you ate this sandwich,
one ingredient after the next, after the next, after the next,
seemed to prove
and validate that point.
And right now you're sitting there in disbelief.
Tears are streaming down your face and you don't know what to do next with your day and with your life!!
Because you put all your hope, all your faith, in this sandwich!
And it rose your spirits so high that you thought was gonna be the one!
This is going to be the sandwich that finally does it: The Perfect Sandwich - that has that blend of both the,
just the flavor of the chicken, the bacon,
and heck even the onion!
The bacon onion sauce - that sweetness - so delicious, so wonderful!
And it's just crashing down in flames and it is just crashing and burning
because of the sweet mustard sauce!! That cancels out everything and doesn't belong there!
AND that's the review really!
I told you it's gonna be the most dramatic thing you've ever heard. The sandwich is great. You saw me,
I probably took more bites from this one than normal.
And it's a great sandwich just completely goes in line with my viewers for the burger as well.
But the one thing, it's a wonderful sandwich,
tastes great.
My recommendation: Get it without the sweet mustard because that tanginess that the mustard has is so off-putting.
It just doesn't...
There's there's no rationale as to why it's there.
It's all that I can tell you. The price for the sandwich is it's about five dollars.
The rating for this sandwich, therefore, is going to be a 7.2 out of 10.
It's a great sandwich. If it didn't have that sweet mustard, I would have given this probably a 9.7.
Get it without the sweet mustard. You will be very pleased with that decision
because it's an excellent sandwich. Otherwise, I highly recommend you get it,
but without the sweet mustard! The same goes through the burger variant.
The chicken variant is wonderful.
But please hold the sweet mustard, my recommendation, if you want to have a most pleasant eating experience!
Well again, I hope you all have a pleasant month of
October!

I Review McDonald's Bacon Smokehouse Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Duration: 13:49.
Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty...
Food Review! Well, hello ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is Running On Empty Food Review.
I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
So welcome to another food review. Happy October!
Let's hope this will be a wonderful month for all of us! And to start off
the new month is a review for an item that's been out for a couple months already, but forget about that, right?
McDonald's is everywhere!
Today's review is for the
bacon smokehouse
chicken well actually, it's, it's an artisan chicken. It's the bacon smokehouse
Let me just find the name of this thing.
The Bacon Smokehouse
Buttermilk
Crispy Chicken Sandwich. What a name I tell you.
Oh gosh, alright, what does it have on? Because we have the title, you know what it is, comes with applewood smoked bacon,
bacon onion sauce,
real white cheddar cheese,
also comes with a sweet mustard and
onion strings. I wrote them down
on a piece of paper so I can
keep track of them, but it's certainly a sandwich that has quite a lot.
You might say, you know that name sounds somewhat familiar. Did you review
anything of similar nature
perhaps
days of
old?
And the honest answer to that is yes indeed. I have indeed. I actually reviewed the burger version of it.
Of course, it's an artisan sandwich.
So, you know they try to, they try to just make it a little bit more fancy. They try to,
you know, have the presentation make it more restaurant-esque. You know, you want your Big Macs and all that. That's fine, too!
But if you want to kick it up a notch,
so to speak, you want to get what some would deem to be a higher quality product
that's where this artisan line of sandwiches comes from. And
of course they are available in three variants:
burger form,
also available in
buttermilk crispy chicken form, and then in grilled chicken form.
So, you know, I figure I may as well give the chicken one a try. I've been craving
McDonald's lately, I didn't really have a problem with the burger one
so I thought well sometimes changing it to chicken can do it a lot of good or a lot of bad and
We'll just find out!
Signature crafted recipes and the signature crafted recipe box.
There I am looking soulless
into the camera with the signature crafted recipe box positioned here. So you all got a good view of that!
Okay, here is my sandwich you can see right now we have a bit of a mustard,
mustard, I don't want to call it a landslide but...
mustard avalanche I suppose? Or is it is it the sweet mustard?
That's a sweet mustard
avalanche. So, my apologies. I want to make sure I get the vernacular as on point as can be.
And we also seem to have
you know, some drippings, but it's contained but here's what the sandwich looks like. It actually does look as advertised.
You know, this is what it looks like. This is what they this is what they show on the website.
You can certainly see.
Gosh, I don't know why my memory's bad today.
I'm just gonna take this piece of paper and I'm just gonna put it up right here, so I'm forced to look at this silly thing.
non-stop.
Ugh so yeah, so these are...okay. There's the bacon onion sauce
right here.
That's the sweet mustard on the top in between that is the real, and they had to call it "real" white cheddar cheese.
Onion strings and bacon are kind of up there. I'll de-bun it in a second. Then you can see the chicken patty.
So.
top bun going down you can see onion strings right there.
Then,
proceeding downward, is
kind of everything else right? You can see there's that chicken patty.
The
bacon onion sauce.
Bacon on the top, the real the real cheese, and then the chicken. All right. Well, we know what's on it.
Sorry that my memories kind of giving out on me today. But I
tell you my
one complaint just is that this sandwich is such a mouthful of words in regards to its actual name,
let alone the ingredients. So...
That's my only complaint so far, but you know what?
Forget about all that! As long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter what they call it! You know? They can,
They can make a 500-word long name
And if it's really good, a committed few will get it. But, most people will say it's still too long! Onto the review...
Let's try this thing out!
I'll let you know what it tastes like. So it's the chicken variant of this - The Bacon Smokehouse Buttermilk
Crispy Chicken Sandwich. I gotta just write that on the board a hundred times to remember the name. Going in!
Want to hear the most dramatic thing you've ever heard in your life? Get ready! So...
It's Monday morning, the first of October.
Your stomach is growling and grumbling! And...
there is this
insatiable hunger
that is just it cannot be satisfied! You're trying everything: doughnuts,
pancakes.
Let's not even talked about the pizza!
But then you see it on the horizon -
a glimmer of hope,
a beacon of light,
the golden arches from McDonald's!!
You know right then and there this is where I need to be.
And...You go there. You're crawling in on your hands and knees!
And you look at the menu board. And...
You're looking at what they have.
And you say,
(Because I forgot the name already!), "I want to get the artisan
chicken sandwich
smokehouse one!"
They serve it up, it's hot it's fresh.
This is gonna be it!
You bite in.
The chicken is on point - tastes good. It's juicy!
It has that thickness to it. There's substance.
It's not overcooked. It's not overly crispy, but it has a nice crunch to it -
delicious!
You made it over the first hurdle.
Now come the toppings:
Applewood smoked bacon, a couple pieces on there. I could definitely taste that bacon!
Awesome!
That white cheddar cheese blends in great with the chicken. And I can tell you that that is, indeed,
Real! (as they said on the website)
None of that fake white cheddar cheese.
But is this still gonna cure your hunger? You keep devouring the sandwich. Onion strings dead ahead!
They're crunchy. They're flavorful. Blends together good. No problems. Then the bacon onion sauce comes.
Not a single issue with that either - has this just nice honey barbecue-esque flavor.
It just blends everything together. It's a delicious sandwich. You can't stop yourself!
And then you hit a wall!
Sweet mustard!!
You had such high hopes.
You thought this was gonna be the one thing that
cures your Monday morning hunger!
And as you ate this sandwich,
one ingredient after the next, after the next, after the next,
seemed to prove
and validate that point.
And right now you're sitting there in disbelief.
Tears are streaming down your face and you don't know what to do next with your day and with your life!!
Because you put all your hope, all your faith, in this sandwich!
And it rose your spirits so high that you thought was gonna be the one!
This is going to be the sandwich that finally does it: The Perfect Sandwich - that has that blend of both the,
just the flavor of the chicken, the bacon,
and heck even the onion!
The bacon onion sauce - that sweetness - so delicious, so wonderful!
And it's just crashing down in flames and it is just crashing and burning
because of the sweet mustard sauce!! That cancels out everything and doesn't belong there!
AND that's the review really!
I told you it's gonna be the most dramatic thing you've ever heard. The sandwich is great. You saw me,
I probably took more bites from this one than normal.
And it's a great sandwich just completely goes in line with my viewers for the burger as well.
But the one thing, it's a wonderful sandwich,
tastes great.
My recommendation: Get it without the sweet mustard because that tanginess that the mustard has is so off-putting.
It just doesn't...
There's there's no rationale as to why it's there.
It's all that I can tell you. The price for the sandwich is it's about five dollars.
The rating for this sandwich, therefore, is going to be a 7.2 out of 10.
It's a great sandwich. If it didn't have that sweet mustard, I would have given this probably a 9.7.
Get it without the sweet mustard. You will be very pleased with that decision
because it's an excellent sandwich. Otherwise, I highly recommend you get it,
but without the sweet mustard! The same goes through the burger variant.
The chicken variant is wonderful.
But please hold the sweet mustard, my recommendation, if you want to have a most pleasant eating experience!
Well again, I hope you all have a pleasant month of
October!

How to Win an Election. Step by Step - Duration: 31:51.
There is a hard truth about running for office.
A lot of very smart, very passionate people who try that lose. In fact, most who try it
lose, including highly qualified, articulate, accomplished candidates who could have won.
Was it because they didn't know what to do?
No.
Every intelligent candidate knows you have to have a message. That you have
to execute your message. That you have to have a strategy to reach your
target audience, and get your voters to the polls.
But knowing what to do, and knowing how to do it are two very different
matters. And usually that is what separates the winners from those who come up
short.
Who is this webinar for?
If you are running for office this year, it's for you. If you'd like to run for
office soon, it's for you. If you think you'd like to run for office someday,
it's for you. And if you are curious about modern day campaigns and want to help
good candidates win, this webinar will help you do that.
If you are hoping to learn how to spew hate and sow division, you will need
to go elsewhere.
What you will learn in this webinar are the four pillars of a political campaign,
the elements of a campaign message and how to construct yours, the various
ways to execute your message, and how to pick the one just right for you, how to plan your
campaign strategy, so that voters have a clear picture of what you are going to do for them,
and how to outsmart your opponent through an exercise
I call war gaming.
Campaigns in competitive jurisdictions are complicated. They are hard, tough, and
sometimes they're mean. Very few candidates win without the help of someone
adept at navigating the minefields of a political campaign.
I'll also be sharing with you a step by step formula I have used to help U.S. Senators,
Governors, candidates for President, Members of Congress, Mayors,
County Executives, Legislators, Judges and 200 other candidates who have won
competitive elections.
It is a formula I have developed during my years as a political consultant.
The formula works and my clients are proof.
Some were democrats. Some were Republican. Men, women, young, old, white,
brown and black. In large cities, the rural countryside, and the suburbs.
They all had this in common:
They sincerely believed in their cause, and were running to improve the lives of
those in their community, city or country. They were problem solvers, not bomb
throwers. They had integrity, and a strong moral code. They did not spew hate,
or sow division. They did not reflexivity recite some party line talking points.
They had a clear and compelling message, executed it well, had a well designed strategy and
outsmarted their opponents.
In this webinar I'll show you how to do what they did. If you would like to speak
with me about helping you advance your cause, I tell you how to apply at the end
of this webinar.
All campaigns start with few fundamental questions. No one can design an
intelligent campaign or campaign strategy without knowing the answers. Nor can you.
Anybody who tries to tell you how to run your campaign without this information is wasting
your time.
What is the job you are running for? All elected positions have a unique set of
responsibilities that profoundly affects your campaign strategy and the issues
you talk about.
When is the election? Turnout varies election by election, and that affects the number of
people you need to reach.
What are the rules for who gets to vote? That profoundly affects the tools and strategy
you will use to reach your target audience.
What are the demographics, partisan affiliation and voting history of your
jurisdiction, and how are they trending? That affects who you target and how you
reach them.
What is the current political environment? The headwinds of political discourse are
constantly shifting, and that affects your message.
What are your resources? Advertising costs money and you can buy only what you
can afford.
Who is or who are your opponents? That affects almost everything you say
and do.
No other campaign is quite like yours, for no two jurisdictions are the same. No two
election years are the same. No other jurisdiction has the same demographic
profile as yours. Nobody has the same opponent that you do. Nobody has your voice, your story,
your biography.
The answers to those questions determine your message, how you will execute it,
your campaign strategy, and how you will outsmart your opponent.
One of the reasons good candidates lose is they launch their campaign without first
knowing this information.
There are other reasons good candidates lose--common mistakes that even smart
candidates make:
They copycat. They look at what worked for somebody else
in a different year, in a different jurisdiction, and then assume that the strategy
that worked for someone else will work for them. It won't and it doesn't, for every
race requires a unique message, a unique plan to execute the message, and a unique
strategy. High-priced consultants have also been known to make this mistake.
They don't delegate. They spend too much time mired in the day to day operation
of their campaign, to the detriment of tasks only a candidate can do. Candidates are
the star performers in their own movie. They must always be at the top of their game, and
that is a full time job.
They waste money. On things that don't matter at the expense of things that do.
Usually because they are not up to date on how and where voters get their
information. Technology is changing everything. Very quickly. What was a great
way to reach a target audience two years ago, or even last year, may not be
the best way to reach them this year.
Their message is a confusing mess. Voters are busy people. If voters can't quickly
grasp why a candidate wants the job and what the candidate is going to do
for them, they will not spend time deciphering a confusing morass of blather.
They bomb on stage. They blow a speech in front of an important audience,
or wilt during a debate. They say or do something stupid in an interview with
a tv or newspaper reporter. Usually because they were ill-briefed and ill-prepared.
This is why good people lose elections they could have won. And every single one of these
mistakes can be avoided.
Let's now return to those four pillars of a campaign…your message, how you execute
your message, your strategy and an exercise I call wargaming.
Starting with your campaign message. All candidates need one, but knowing that you need one is
different than knowing how to do it.
Your campaign message has five components. Your biography, your story, your values, issue
positions and what you choose to say about your opponent.
Your biography lets voters know you have your feet on the ground and are qualified to do
the job.
It is through your story that you let voters know what makes you tick; that they can
trust you to make hard decisions on their behalf.
Voters need to know your values, your notions of right and wrong, good and evil,
causes important to you, for they want to know that your values are in sync with
theirs.
The issue positions you choose to highlight in your campaign lets voters know what you
are going to do for them; how you will improve their quality of life.
Then there is your opponent -- what you choose to say about the person you
are running against; why you are the better choice.
Finally, you need a slogan—a simple set of words that helps voters remember what
you stand for, what makes you the right choice, or different than your opponent.
Those are the elements of a campaign message.
Simple. Right? Not so fast.
What you choose to highlight about your background, your story, values, and issue
positions depends on what you are running for, who gets to vote, the demographic
profile of the voters you must have to win, the political environment and most important,
your opponent.
You have one mission in a campaign. To get more votes than your opponent.
As you make decisions about the elements of your campaign message, one question is paramount.
Does the information help voters conclude that you are the best choice?
Voters are busy people. Inundating them with information that is irrelevant to
the choice they face is a waste of their time and your resources.
Meet Sue Kelly. Florist, mother, President of her garden club.
She ran for Congress in a crowded field that included a four star general, an ex member
of Congress, and a West Point graduate who had won the Congressional
Metal of Honor.
What made Kelly different is that she held more conservative positions on economic issues
than her competitors, and more moderate positions on social issues.
She was also the only candidate who had lived in the district more than two years.
In her advertising, every aspect of her biography, story, values and issue
positions emphasized what made her different from the other candidates.
Her service to organizations that advanced health care for women, years of
community service in the district, support for abolishing the capital gains tax,
her libertarian positions on social issues, and the fact that she had lived in the
district more than 35 years. All things none of her opponents could say or would say. What
we called her unique selling propositions.
Her slogan made the point. "If you think they all sound the same, you haven't
met Sue Kelly."
She easily won the election and served 12 years in Congress.
Sometimes a simple slogan is all it takes to capitalize on the political environment
or flaws in your opponent.
Meet Nan Hayworth, who challenged an incumbent Congressman in an upscale
suburban district. In a year when voters were in a restive mood.
His slogan was John Hall. Congressman. Her slogan was Nan Hayworth. Doctor.
Mother. Businesswoman. Three things her opponent could never say.
In a year when voters were in an anti-incumbent mood, unhappy with the status quo, she easily
won a race the pundits said she'd lose.
This is the what, the how, the why of putting together your message.
Your biography, your story, values, issue postions, your opponent and campaign
slogan.
There is another reason you need to address all of the elements of a campaign message
in a competitive race.
If you don't tell voters what you have done in your life, voters won't know that you
are qualified to do the job…and your opponent will walk into the void and
paint you as unqualified.
If you don't share some piece of your story, voters won't know why they can
trust you, and your opponent will give them reasons they should not.
If you don't let voters know that your values, and your notions of right and wrong are in
sync with theirs, your opponent will find ways to prove they are not.
If you don't clearly articulate positions on issues important in your jurisdiction,
your opponent can and will portray you as a blank slate afraid to tell voters what you
think.
Later on in this webinar I'll tell you why this mistake cost someone an election
in a U.S. Senate race. A mistake that would have been avoided had her consultant gone
through the step by step process I just mentioned.
Now that you know something about the how and the why of your message, we'll talk
about how you execute it.
There is the what you say, and the what you pay to say, otherwise known as advertising.
I'll start with the words that come out of your mouth. You will need to give speeches.
You may have to debate your opponent. You will be expected to
conduct interviews with newspapers, and perhaps radio and television stations.
And unless you are paying for the campaign out of your own pocket, you'll need
to meet and speak with campaign contributors.
These are items only you can do. They cannot be delegated. The words that
fly off your lips can make or break your campaign.
When you become a candidate you become a public figure. Everything you say.
Every word you say is subject to scrutiny. You are the star of your own play.
The main attraction in your own movie.
You must look and sound the part, for if you want voters to listen to you, you must look
like you are worth listening to.
You therefore must be well rested. Well dressed. Well groomed. Well read.
Well briefed. Well prepared.
Your supreme obligation is to play well the part only you can play. For most
candidates, that is a full time job.
There is an art, and a science to practicing for an important speech, an interview
or a debate:
How to pivot off a difficult question to a topic that gets you votes.
Knowing what you are going to say during the first two minutes of
an interview, regardless of the question asked.
How to control your body language and keep your cool in the face of hard
questions.
How to leave your opponent playing defense during a debate.
How to use a news story to offer the perfect sound bite during an interview.
I always help my clients prepare for interviews, debates and major speeches.
They are important. There is a lot at stake. Even the most talented and experienced of
public officials perform better if they invest in practice and preparation.
I mentioned there are two ways to execute your message. Now that we've
talked about the words you say, we'll turn to your advertizing tools, what you pay
to say, the media you use to present yourself to voters that will never meet you or hear
your speeches.
They include your website, video and television ads, radio, persuasion mail,
telephone calls, internet ads, newspaper ads, volunteers, handouts and yard signs.
All cost money. All candidates have to make some hard decisions about which are best for
them, for very few can afford to do all of them.
As you make choices there is one question that is more important than any other.
What is the most cost efficient and effective way to get your message to a voter?
There is no standard answer to that question, for no two jurisdictions are the same.
In a statewide race, cable and commercial television is usually imperative.
Mail and internet ads are used for niche markets. In small, rural jurisdictions,
sometimes mail, yards signs, and newspaper ads are the answer. In suburban districts,
it is usually an adroit mix of radio, internet ads, persuasion mail,
telephone calls and ads in weekly newspapers.
Ultimately, your decisions will be based on your resources, the jurisdiction where you
live, the number of voters you must reach, and the demographics of your target audience.
This is also a decision that smart candidates delegate. To people who do it for a living.
For with the rapid changes in technology, television viewership, radio
programming, social media, and internet advertising, what may have worked well
for a candidate a few years ago, or even last year, might not be the right answer this year.
Meet Rob Astorino, and Steve Neuhaus. In 2017, both were County Executives
in the New York's Hudson Valley. Both running for reelection. Both Republicans.
In a difficult year for Republicans.
Both had in past campaigns made heavy use of cable television to drive their message,
supplemented with targeted mail.
In the 2017 campaign, they took different paths when executing their strategy.
Astorino stuck with what he'd done in the past, spending more than 2,000,000
on cable TV Advertising.
Neuhaus took a fresh look at demographic and viewership trends, and decided to
change course. He cut all the cable TV out of his budget, and decided instead
to put it exclusively into mail, internet and facebook advertising.
In a bad year for Republican candidates in the Hudson Valley, Astorino lost.
Neuhaus won a landslide victory.
Technology has changed everything, and going forward it will profoundly alter where and
how voters get their information. There is a high price to pay if those working for you
are not up to date on where voters get their information in your
jurisdiction.
These are the steps to deciding how to execute your message. The what, the how,
and why it can be fatal if you execute a campaign based on data that is out of date.
As you interview consultants and professional help for your campaign, make sure they have
up-to-date information, easy access to this kind of research, and that they
know how to use it.
Now that we've talked about your message, and you how execute it, let's turn to
your strategy. The way you are going to roll out your message.
Think of your strategy as a movie. It has a beginning. An end. A story line.
A logical sequence. Otherwise the movie makes no sense.
You may have a great bio, a compelling narrative, values in perfect sync
with voters, and popular issue positions, but if you don't reveal those to voters
in a manner they can easily understand, they'll never understand you or your
message.
As you begin to plot your rollout, your strategy for what you are going to say,
and when you are going to say it, look at all the tools you have decided to use,
and select one that you will use as your primary tool, then use the others to
supplement and support it.
The best way to show you this is by example.
In a recent primary in New York, an underfunded candidate challenged a 10 term member of Congress
in a democratic primary.
She looked at all of her options and decided the only tools she could afford
to use were social media, a website, text messages and volunteer phone calls.
She produced a very compelling video that had all the elements of her message,
her biography, story, values, and issue positions.
She then used social media to share it and drive people to her website, where many
volunteered their email address and phone number. They were then contacted by
volunteers.
The strategy worked. Her video was viewed two million times. She won the
election, despite being outspent 18-1.
Two years ago in a race in a suburban district we concluded that cable
television viewership had become too fragmented to be of much value.
We instead used mail as our lead tool, a sequence of mail pieces sent
to a broad audience to reveal the candidate's biography, her story, her qualifications,
her work on behalf of children, the elderly and the poor.
We then used internet ads to supplement and highlight information contained in
the mail pieces to highly targeted niche audiences. Volunteers were
used to knock on doors and make phone calls in key geographic areas.
She was the only candidate in a four way race who used this strategy. She won a
landslide victory.
In a recent campaign in a small, tight knit rural district, we used newspaper ads,
for it happened to be a community with a very well read local newspaper. We used the ads
to highlight the accomplishments of a long serving incumbent who faced a very spirited
challenge from a well financed opponent.
We supplemented the newspaper ads with persuasion mail to reach certain niche
audiences. His volunteers knocked on doors and made phone calls.
He won a comfortable victory in an anti-incumbent year.
I am not sharing these examples to suggest they are just right for you. I share them
to illustrate a point.
There is no one size fits all campaign strategy that is right for every candidate
in every jurisdiction. Your strategy is unique to you, unique to your jurisdiction,
your resources, where and how voters get their information, the political
environment, the demographics of the voters you must have to win, the opponent
you face.
Any professional help you hire should be factoring in all of these as they construct
your strategy.
Do any of these strategies have anything in common? Yes.
In every single one the candidate used the lead advertising tool to communicate
all the elements of a campaign message, a biography, story, values, and issue positions
in a logical sequence that voters could follow and easily comprehend.
We then used secondary tools to reach important niche audiences.
This is the what and the how of a campaign strategy. If you want voters to
understand your message, follow this step by step process. People who are
experienced in the business of helping candidates know the art and science of creating a strategy
and rolling out a message.
If you cannot find that kind of help, I'll show you how to apply to work with me
at the end of this webinar.
A quick review.
I mentioned at the beginning of this webinar that there are four key pillars of a campaign.
We've now covered three of them, your message, how you execute
your message, and how you devise your strategy. I'll finish up by addressing
something I call war gaming.
If you've ever watched a great football coach, you've seen it. When the coach
notices the other team pulling out the star runners, and putting in star pass
catchers, they in turn send in players good at defending a pass play.
They know what they are going to do in any situation because they have studied
game films; they know the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing team. They anticipate every
stunt the opposing team might try, and what they're going to do when they see it coming.
It's called war gaming, something all smart candidates do after they've put together
their message, execution plan, and plotted their strategy.
I'll show you how it's done. First, jot down what you are going to say about
yourself-your bio, story, values, issue positions. And what you expect your
opponent to say about their own background, story, values and issue positions.
Next note what you plan to say about your opponent, and how you expect your
opponent will respond to you.
Finally, anticipate the attacks your opponent will launch against you, the holes they
will try to poke in your biography, or your story, your issue positions, or silly things
you once did or said.
Then war game. Develop a plan to respond everything your opponent might do.
In every competitive election I have ever worked we have gone through
this exercise, and you should too.
It was the middle of the night in Santa Barbara when my phone rang.
When I answered I heard a familiar voice, the campaign manager of a
U.S. Senate race I was consulting in California. He wasted no time getting
to business.
"Jay. Our opponent last night sent a new spot to the stations. It starts airing
at 7 am on the Today Show."
It was a blistering attack ad, which the manager recited to me as I took notes.
We had anticipated this might happen, and we had a plan in place:
I called the manager of a local editing facility, and told him we needed to
edit a spot at 4 am. I called our voice talent, told him grab some coffee
and meet us at the studio. I then wrote the script of our response ad.
We finished the edit at 5 am, sent the spot to the stations. We were on with
our response before our opponent's attack ad ever aired.
Nothing had been left to chance because we had war gamed everything. I had a thick file
of research and facts at my fingertips. I had preselected the editing
facility and voice talent we'd use. They knew to keep their phones by their
bedside.
I had created a large file of pictures and footage so that we had plenty of visuals
to use in the spot. We had pre-planned how to quickly get our spot to the stations
regardless of the hour.
It saved the career of a United States Senator.
There is a price to pay for not going through this exercise. It's call chaos.
Chaos happens when you get hit with something you never saw coming.
Chaos happens when you have no idea what to do. Chaos happens when nobody on
your team anticipated the attack, when nobody on your team can agree on what
the response should be. Chaos is one of the reasons good candidates lose.
Meet Jill Docking. She once ran for the U. S. Senate in the State of Kansas.
Stellar qualifications. Well spoken. The kind of middle of the road democrat
that can win an election in Kansas.
She also happens to be Jewish. Fearful that voters in a state filled with conservative
evangelical Christians would not react well to her religious affiliation, Mrs. Docking
omitted any mention of her religion during her campaign.
During the final days of a hotly contested race, thousands of evangelical voters received
a phone call. What is called a push poll. They were asked who they planned to vote for.
If they said Jill Docking, they were asked a second question---"would you still
vote for Jill Docking if you knew that she refuses to let her children go to church or
attend Sunday School?"
Because she'd never talked about her religious affiliation, those receiving
the call knew nothing of Mrs Docking's religious beliefs. And because they
knew nothing, they assumed that Mrs. Docking was an atheist or agnostic.
Because her team had never anticipated that her opponent would pull such a filthy stunt,
it sank her campaign.
Competitive politics is sometimes a blood sport. You don't have to be filthy,
or unethical to win, but you should never assume your opponent shares your
ethical standards or your moral code.
Now you know why you heard me say that competitive campaigns are complicated.
They are hard, tough, and sometimes they're mean. You stand a much better
chance of winning if you go through the step by step process I've described
in this webinar. It is very hard to win a competitive election if you don't.
There are a number of ways you can apply what I shared, or find help
to advance your cause
You are welcome to use the information I've shared in this webinar to
design and execute your own campaign. You can watch the 300 free videos on my You
Tube Channel, which cover in detail almost every aspect of a political campaign.
You can contact the political party organizations in your state or community.
There are organizations that maintain a list of companies and people that help
candidates for office, including Campaigns and Elections, and the American
Association of Political Consultants.
If you'd like to speak with me, I do accept a limited number of clients. If you are
interested, please complete the application. In it you'll find some questions that
will help me research your jurisdiction so that I am well prepared for a conversation
with you.
Once I've reviewed it, I'll send you an email so that you can schedule a time
for our talk on a day and time convenient to you.
There will be no charge for the call. You should expect that our conversation
will last an hour.
I am particular about who I work with, just as I expect you to be particular
about who you work with.
This is what I will expect of you:
You must be sincere about what you want to do for your jurisdiction, community,
city or country. I care that you are willing to stand for something grand. That you
fervently believe in a cause.
You must have integrity.
You must be coachable, and anxious to learn.
You must want to win.
This is what you can expect from me.
I don't care what party you belong to. I have worked with democrats and
republicans, and people of all persuasions around the globe. There are good
people in almost all political parties.
I don't care about your ideology, or whether you call yourself a liberal, moderate or conservative.
If you are running for the right reasons, to fix a problem,
correct an injustice, right a wrong…those labels don't mean much.
It is not my role to impose my beliefs on you. My job is to help you express
your views and win an election in your jurisdiction.
I will not ask you to parrot the playbook of a political party, or sing the gospel
of a special interest group. I will be helping you express your ideas, and doing what works
best for you and your campaign.
During our conversation we'll talk about your jurisdiction, your message, how you plan
to execute it, your strategy. Urgent challenges that you may have. Problems that need attention.
How I can best help you.
If I can't help you, I'll say so. If I can, I'll tell you how.
I can also tell you this.
If we work together, you will grow. Personally, and professionally.
You will become a smarter and a much better candidate.
You will speak with greater confidence, passion and authority, knowing that you
have a message, a plan, a strategy that is right for you and your jurisdiction.
And while no one can guarantee you victory, you will run a much better campaign for having
worked with me.
That is the what that you will receive from me. There is also a why I do what
I do and before I close I'll share that with you.
I believe politics can and should be a noble profession. For it is through people
unafraid to live their passion that billions have been freed from the yoke of bondage,
freed from the chains of poverty and offered some measure of the freedom that is the inherent
right of all humankind.
The greatest rewards I have known have come from helping good candidates
prevail in the marketplace of ideas, right a wrong, correct an injustice, advance a cause,
improve the lives of people in their jurisdiction.
It is what I was born to do.
If you are interested in talking, complete the application. I'll send you a link with
available time slots on my calendar, and you can pick a date and time convenient
for you.
I hope something I've shared served to advance your cause. Or made you a wiser candidate.
Or inspired you to use your talents to advance a noble cause.
Until we meet again, or even if we don't, I wish you good luck, a good campaign
and success in public life.

Hive Tutorial: Features, Pricing & Discount - Duration: 14:56.
Hello everyone and welcome back to another video it is Francesco here. So guys, welcome to the Keep Productive YouTube channel
We are doing a full tutorial of Hive today. Hive is touted as the home for busy teams
It's a project manager and we're going to be uncovering some of the features functions and whether you could use it in your daily routine
We also have a exclusive discount which we're going to apply near the end of the video
so do stay tuned for that one and you can use the
Timestamps below to find out all of the different areas and features that you want you can skip ahead to those
But it's going to be a full outline of the application now
I just want to thank the sponsors which is hive hive did a full sponsorship here on the channel, which is great
It's awesome to have them support the channel
It helps us grow helps to build the technology and also
Obviously review as many applications as possible for you guys to go and dive into so let's get started
Hive is a project manager. This is the application and this is the Mac version
They have a web version iOS version Android version and a PC version
So it's quite comfortably available on desktop and mobile which makes that really accessible now
What I'm also going to do is include a few resources that I've found very helpful. So for example, scotf regions video on
Simplot if 'ti all about how he compares it to asana and they do have a
comparison to Basecamp asana Trello and a couple of other resources
They don't good in description below, too
So as you can see, this is the what you land on when you have your hive account
I've got one working here and I've made a few mock-ups of the experience. So let's start with this left-hand panel
Now the goal is to combine chat functionality
so trap in team and also
Direct chat to between people as well as the project management side of stuff so that you've almost connected the two experiences
Now the sort of core experience that a lot of people love when they get started with
Hive is actually the views the actual layouts that you can use for a new project
So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to create a new project to demonstrate this so
Creating a new project is really easy. So for let's say I wanted to run Facebook ads as that project
You can obviously add a project color over here. Let's choose blue for Facebook a little bit of a turquoise blue
Let's add a date to the project
Let's say we want to really get the ads out by October the 6th, and that's a Sunday
I know and you can have here labels, too. I'm gonna put it as client work as a label there
You can add a description. So we're gonna put here. For example, I run Facebook Ads
for a full client a
For two weeks and you can add any attachments uploading from some of the popular services there
We'll talk about that near the end when we spoke speak about integrations. You can have a parent project, too
So if there's an existing project and it comes under a smaller project inside that bigger project then you can do that, too
And you can also break it into phases which helps you to structure the Gantt layout
So for example, let's say I want to research these ads before
and then put together the copy and
creative and
Then launch the launch ads there. So that's the three phases
You can obviously move the round delete them and even add more phrases to them. So let's go to the next area
You've also got the option to share with just you
So if you want to be able to use this as a personal project you can you can use it with several people
which I'm going to do in this case and you can edit the permissions of this and
You can have this one as an all members access. You can create a group conversation on the project as well
So this should appear in this left-hand panel making it a great way to start the conversation about it now
you've got a host of different views and this is what tyv is very much known for you can choose a range of views from
Status view so being able to track the status of each action
the team view so seeing it who's dedicated to each team member who's been assigned the work a
calendar view to showcase the dates a label view
Good for labels when you add them all to the tasks and a Gantt view
I'm going to choose the cam view in this case because it's a good way to visualize it
You can also view it in table as well. Very helpful
So you can group by either project labor or phase but I'm actually gonna group at my phase for now
which we actually created there and I'm gonna say no to showing weekends because obviously that's
Not necessarily important to the timeline, but that's totally optional
So one thing you saw there is a group who's created in his left hand panel
So if I wanted to I could communicate with the team in this group
I can attach relevant staff as well as send messages links and all the good stuff that you normally do and
Also, you can add mention people as well
Different users so you could say can you check this?
And
There we go
You can obviously add that person to the group and do all the regular stuff that you do and emojis and things like that
so if I wanted to remove this left-hand panel Wallis
I'm doing the work and planning you can see here that I've got different phases and actions below them
so obviously this phase will hopefully
Be something that you can get started with. So here we go. You can start adding a few Research Projects. So let's say
explore the target market
Before we do this and let's say one more item of read explore research copy pieces
copy from competitors
and
As you can see these tasks have been created now if I wanted to I could drag them up and down
but if I wanted to
Simply just place them out on the area I could do so and you can see here that that task has been
created I can do the same with this one if that's obviously a
Dependency to there you can see that research spans between the 18th of September to the 26th
And you can start doing this to the bottom. So I'm going to add a few more here
Okay, so here we go valid a few tasks and as you can see they've been broken down into phases
You've got the research phase the copy and crater phase and the launch phase as well as a lovely timeline view here now
for example
If I want to see this in a different sort of view
I can click weekly view and see that in a bit more detail and that's quite helpful
you can obviously group it by a project if you wanted to so you can actually see a sort of outline of
The different projects that you've got going there and obviously that will set it up there
You can also use labels too, but obviously don't have any labels attached to it
But phases makes a great deal of sense right now from here
You can also see the detail of the project who's being invited also the project description any attachments
You can also copy a project and use it as a template essentially use custom fields
Delete project get link for project and lots more there now over here
You can use filters as well to obviously filter per assigned. There's nothing assigned just yet
You can filter by labels and status too
So the good thing is you can use the change layout function as well if you wanted to any given point
move this to a different view
So for example, if I wanted to move this to the calendar view you can see that from here
I can see all of the activities as well as click into the items as well as
Being able to see all of the information there now
Let's just go back to that Gantt view on what you can do in Gantt view is also use the assigning function
So for example if I was like okay start assigning things to people
I'm gonna invite a team member here you can obviously add
External or internal team members. I'm gonna add you can either add for groups or those
invited to all of the different activities
so some of the final things you can also change the due date here as well as
Export this if you wish to and actually hide the assigns on the export as a PDF PNG
Or MS Project now, of course, this is a great view for being able to activate snuff
But you can use any of the other views the Kanban view is obviously something that you can get started
But this is what it looks like as a team view
So if I was like I just wanted to get them assigned
To different people then I could do so and if I headed back to the Gantt chart view
Every thing would be assigned to the relevant people. So here's another worked example
What did this one just for example Skillshare course and you can see here that you can visualize
Everything out in the open which is quite a nice view is one of my favorite views I'd say you can see a yearly view
If you wanted to if it was a much longer project, but obviously that's one of the exciting things
ok, so if it got to that point where you wanted to use a templates function we have to do is go up to the
Team area and click your workspace head over to templates and actually create an action template
This is very useful if you're recreating a process
so for example
Let's say I wanted to reuse the the blogging side of stuff and use some
regular processes are used for blogging
so for example write blog post proofread push the website sanity check you can use all of the
obviously create your own template and then be able to add the
dependencies as well as the due date - which is very helpful because you can apply it to a
new project inside of this and then once you've added this obviously what will happen is it will
Become relevant to the due date that it happened
So for example, let's say you posted this one in your actual workplace
You can obviously get it three days after the existing day
You can add description and in these steps and in the attachments and also assign it to certain people in the group, too
So if you want to add a new process then you can do so and you can add as many action templates as you like
So you're probably wondering how can I view all of the task?
Information add more context to a task and really get going with it
All you have to do is click into a project and of course you can see the task view
You can see what projects it's attached to the actual stage of the project
So in this case, it's the face
You can add description you can add subtasks as well as change the due date and information around it
You can add the status as a task which helps you to view it in status view
So if I click in progress and you can apply a new template to it
So for example if I was like, okay, I want to apply a action template to it
I as you can see it all pops up here as a sort of template view and obviously saves you a lot of time
Now here you can add labels you now detachments from the relevant services Google Drive Dropbox box
Onedrive a link to share drive as well as any files and information you want you can market this private to be
Viewed as yourself and you can add a priority level to it, too
Now one of the experiences that you can use is very simple too similar to Survey Monkey you can use forms
You can create a new form to be able to share with other people
So this becomes a bit of a workspace application too and it's a very useful function
Works in a very similar way to Google Forms, but you can create and share out new forms there. This is great for collecting information
internally and externally
You've also got their resource management center, which has only been recently added but for example if you wanted to start applying different
Resource assignments to them say for example and to be able to allocate them certain times during the day or a total amount of hours
To a project then you can do that. You can also add time off here
So for example if you want an add time off this person here
You can create that time off as well as extended if you want. So that's eight hours a day
for four days so you can visually see all of what your team resources are being spent on and you can use
That view in people and placeholders too now
If you want to view the project navigator
You can see any active or archived projects in the past and actually see all of their information at a glance
You create new projects here
But the real magic is being able to use
the my actions area because my actions allows you to see all of the our activities from now and
Future tasks coming up as well as the completed items you already have and you can add personal tasks here
So for example, you can obviously make these private
So for example, you can see here. It's marked as private, but this can be your personal item
And obviously you can move it up and down the list as well as add priority levels to it there
So as I was mentioning you can use file sharing. So file sharing is really accessible up here
So once you connect your account, obviously Google login so you can connect that there you can use box Dropbox or Microsoft
That's one note there to be able connect regular apps that you use
There is an analytics experience in this it does analyze your team productivity
All those is only available through the enter vice packet Enterprise package
But you can see a real unique view of your data and how you can be more productive
Based on your existing data and give you an outline of where you can improve
So this is something that they've recently brought in. So some of the standout functions of hive are that it is very flexible
You can use it with lots of different layouts and views. There are some really exciting functions in the task actions area as well
It's being able to create a range of things, you know
You've got the ability to create forms as well as create action templates see analytics and use some of the hive
Applications you can also import tasks and there are whole host of functions inside of settings
Which makes your account a little bit more accessible now, you're probably wondering when it comes to price
How much is this application?
It is $12 per user per month on a professional plan
Which gives you access to the majority of features it is there is a 14-day free trial on this one
There is no free edition. Although the team have given me
25% off discount using the keyword or
Coupon code keep productive and you can get 25% off your first 12 month on hive
So that's really exciting guys. If you'd want to check out that application you can do that below obviously
I'm really grateful for hive for sponsoring this week here at icky productive YouTube channel naturally
Hopefully they'll be back soon to do another sponsorship. Anyway guys a big. Thank you for stopping by today
Hopefully this gives you a nice outline of the application
Of course, there are loads more detailed functions inside this and we'll be doing more features on it in the next few months
Anyway guys big. Thank you for stopping by today

Why holograms might be the future of rock [REUPLOAD] - Duration: 5:08.
Hi frrriends! It's Andriy Vasylenko.
Dio is back! Kind of.
Only his voice and the shape of his body, projected on a piece of glass.
Some of the fans were fascinated to see him again.
And others came to hate, as they called it, 'a fake that's milking Dio's memory'.
This is a case when both sides have strong arguments.
Everybody loves and misses Ronnie...
And the fans started suggesting who might be "resurrected" this way next
So, here's the question:
where is the edge between ethics, technology, and business?
Is it appropriate to bring our idols back as 3D figures
singing not breathing and raising up horns not seeing yours?
But before that, let's find out what is a hologram.
Hologram is a photographic recording of a subject, displayed in 3 dimensions.
This technology has been in progress since 1940s.
It means that a real hologram still does not exist,
because there's no laser to create hovering figures, like from sci-fi movies.
Everything you've seen, actually, was a gimmick with some visual perception of depth.
This illusion's called 'Pepper's Ghost' which was popularized in XIX century as a theatrical trick.
It's being staged this way: a very lightened object is reflecting on the glass placed above at an angle of 45.
So, from a viewer's position it looks like a ghost flying in the air.
Basically, this is how fata-morgana - a natural "hologram" - works:
when an object such as an oasis, a ship, or even a whole city is visible from a big distance
due to light refraction in the atmosphere.
And this mirage technique was used to stage performances of Gorillaz,
and later - deceased stars such as Tupac, Michael Jackson, and Ronnie James Dio.
Seems like the majority of Dio's fans can't accept it.
They say 'it's disrespectful' and 'we have to let him rest in piece'.
And I can agree with them:
in THIS form, following THIS promotion
the idea of bringing back our hero looks cheaper than it could've been.
But maybe if we slightly change our perspective, all turns out not that bad?
What if to look at this as a rough attempt to expand our vision on where human life goes?
We're constantly observing the progress of cinematic technology:
first we added sound, then colors, then the sound became voluminous,
and now the picture follows that way – to be really 3-dimensional, looking naturally and being safe.
Even if the first tries are not that successful, it's not a reason to bury this technology.
Or, rather, this idea: remember that we haven't invented true holograms.
An old picture brings up memories and emotions.
And for us it's something more than just piece of paper with a thin layer of paint.
Actually, a photograph is an advanced version of a painting: with better mechanical, not human strokes.
So, why not to consider holograms as ultra-progressive pictures?
Just imagine how far this could go. For example
classic shows converted into holograms, similar to how old movies now become 3D.
In this form it might look more acceptable
Not everyone of us had a chance to see Cliff, or Freddy, or Dimebag.
Anyway, these were just my thoughts. I personally feel the potential in this idea.
Green technologies, space exploration, holograms – why resisting it?
Even if not everything's going smooth at the very beginning.
We learn on mistakes. This is how we grow. This is how our life improves.
I hope you took it easy. Express your point in comments.

Diego Maradona gives his opinion about Argentina keeping No. 10 shirt free for Lionel Messi - Duration: 4:47.
Lionel Messi's future with the Argentina team remains in doubt after he made himself unavailable for last month's friendlies against Guatemala and Colombia
The Barcelona superstar is currently weighing up whether to continue representing his country, reports claim, following Argentina's disappointing showing at the World Cup in Russia
In the meantime, however, Argentina's interim boss Lionel Scaloni has decided to keep the number 10 shirt free for Messi in case he decides to return
"Every player who was in the World Cup kept his number, the ones who came here," Scaloni, who had a brief spell with West Ham in 2006, was quoted as saying by The Sun last month
"In this time, the 10 shirt belongs to Messi and it will stay this way until he decides if he will continue with us or not
"We aren't closed to that chance so I chose to keep this number for him." Messi will also miss this month's friendlies against Iraq and Brazil, prompting further speculation that he may decide to call time on his international career in the near future
With this in mind, Diego Maradona - the most famous No.10 in the history of Argentine football - has gone in hard on Scaloni's decision to keep the iconic shirt number free for Messi
"[Scaloni] is an idiot," Maradona told Clarin, per Goal."He seems like an idiot.Because if I went and gave the 10 to Messi, Messi should give it to the next 10
It's ridiculous, it gets me angry." It's a fair point, although surely there's a chance Messi will return
Giving it to another player would surely convince Messi to quit the national team
Continuing his verbal assault on Scaloni, Maradona added: "Scaloni is a great kid but he can't even manage traffic
How can we give the national team to Scaloni?! With everyone who has passed through that team, who got their teeth and heads broken, you're going to put Scaloni in? "Now Scaloni says 'I am prepared'
I've never even seen you score for Argentina.No offence.As a person, let's go and share a barbecue
But as a coach and in the national team, no." There's never any fence-sitting from El Diego, is there? He's never afraid to voice his true opinion on anything
Maradona also believes Messi should retire from international football - because he's fed up of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner constantly getting the blame when things go wrong
"What would I tell Messi? To not come back any more.To retire," the current Dorados coach said
"The Under-15s lose and it is Messi's fault, the fixture list in Argentina puts Racing against Boca and Messi is to blame
He is always to blame.Stop breaking my balls."I would tell him: 'don't go anymore, man'
Let's see if they can handle that.Let's see if they're really big men."I would have liked to see him tell us all to f**k off
Because he is not to blame for us not being world champions.Fine, we all placed our hopes in him, but when you go to the racetrack you hope your horse wins and he comes in eighth
"In Formula One Vettel has a great engine and Hamilton beats him.Right now the national team doesn't do anything for me or for the people
We have lost that.The passion.It cannot play against Nicaragua or Malta, no, brother
We are throwing all the prestige we earned down the toilet." Is Diego Maradona right about Lionel Messi? Have your say below
