- [Julie Jones, RN] I think what's unique about Cartersville Medical Center is that we
truly treat our patients like family. We really focus on building those
relationships and serving our community.
- [Wallace] I had surgery because my knee started giving me trouble about five
years ago. I kept putting it off and trying to get by without it,
and I decided it was time to do something.
I made the choice to go ahead and have my knee replaced.
- We are certified by the Joint Commission in total joint replacement surgery,
including total hips and total knees.
- [Cammy] We do have total joint certification, but that's only a part
of it. A major part of what we do is developing a partnership with the patient
as well as the family.
- I felt like I was the only patient in the hospital. I never had to call them.
They come by and checked on me, made sure I was out of pain.
It was just kind of a great acquaintance, kind of like a family experience.
- We want them to feel part of our family and that's how we want to treat them,
as if it were our loved one. Because when they come here,
that is who they are. It is very anxiety-producing to come
into a facility where you wonder, you know, "Is this where I should be?
And can I trust these folks that I really don't know?"
- I trust Cartersville Medical Center. In fact, I'm needing some more
surgery now, and I would love to have it done at Cartersville Medical Center.
- I've been in orthopedics for 22 years, and this is hands downs the best group
I've ever worked with, from the surgeons, to the OR staff, to the nurses
on the floor, the techs, rehab. And then, we have a great case management team that
works with our nursing staff and with physical therapy just to make sure that
the patients are prepared and have everything that they need prior
to their discharge. We do work really well together to make sure the patients have
the safest and best outcome from their procedure. They're just a phenomenal bunch
to work with.
- My quality of life since receiving the surgery has been great.
I was pleasantly surprised at how quick I recovered. I had put it off for
five years. And after I had it, I wished I'd of had it five years ago. It made my
life so much better. I would recommend Cartersville Medical Center to any of my
family or any of my friends. In fact, I already have. I've told everyone
about the great experience I had here.

The 33 Strategies of War (Animated) - Duration: 23:46.
"The art of war is to win without bloodshed or the use of force.
(Otherwise) the minimum necessary use of violence."
Part I) Self-Directed Warfare 1) Declare War on Your Enemies
In 401 BC Xenophon led Greek mercenaries into Persian territory.
When their leader died and they had nothing more to fight for, surrounded by the enemy,
they had to become a concentrated force fighting their way back home.
The soldiers' spirit was crushed.
They had weak morale and started fighting eachother.
Xenophon united them, thus defeating the inner enemy.
Focusing on survival, the prospect of getting home alive to family and friends made them
persevere.
You cannot swing a sword without knowing what to hit with it.
It's you against the world and it's you against yourself.
Fight your inner demons.
Do not let your mind, your emotions and your ego control you.
Know yourself and external enemies won't be able to harm you.
You can stand up against anyone (mental fortitude).
2) Do Not Fight the Last War Miyamoto Musashi is one of history's most
dangerous Samurais, because he used to switch up his fighting pattern, changing his tactics
regularly to keep his opponents guessing and on the defensive.
The nervousness and paranoia this inflicted on his rivals made them easy targets.
What has worked in the past, may not work again.
Forget the past.
Adapt to current times, ever-changing, ever-evolving.
George Bernard Shaw said "The only man I know who behaves sensibly is my tailor; he takes
my measurements anew each time he sees me.
The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them."
3) Amidst the Turmoil of Events, Do Not Lose Your Presence of Mind
Lord Nelson disobeyed his hysterical commander in the battle at Copenhagen in 1801, keeping
a calm head in a most hectic situation.
By disregarding his commander's authority and seeing the battlefield for what it was
Lord Nelson defeated the Danish navy.
You have to stay alert, when everyone else is in uproar.
Do not be intimidated by chaos.
Do not panic.
You seek out the conflict reacting swiftly, when the opportunity presents itself.
4) Create a Sense of Urgency and Desperation Fyodor Dostoevsky knew his days were numbered.
Facing his execution he made use of his time by creating each of his works as if they were
his last, because they very well could've been.
Once you come face to face with death, you eliminate life's non-essentials.
You overcome trivialities we foolishly care about every day taking our lives for granted.
Dostoevsky's work is exceptional, because he was restless.
He did not seek comfort.
You cannot wait for the right time.
You are never fully prepared to start.
"Tu fui ego eris."
As you are, I was.
As I am, you will be.
(A gravestone inscription reminding you that death is unavoidable)
Part II) Organizational (Team) Warfare 5) Avoid The Snare of Groupthink
General George Marshall taught his philosophies on leadership to a handful of protégés he'd
put into authoritative positions with high risk responsibilities.
One of these men was Dwight Eisenhower.
The General could rely on his subordinates, as they held the same beliefs and ran their
positions according to his vision.
You want a chain of command you can rely on.
You are the General, but you cannot have your head everywhere.
Put remote systems and loyal leaders into place that will guarantee the desired outcome.
Use them to balance your weaknesses with their strengths and ensure they always keep you
up to date.
In any case, be careful not to give up too much of your own authority and leverage.
6) Segment Your Forces In 1805 Napoleon Bonaparte faced an attack
by Austrian troops led by Karl Mack, upon which Napoleon divided his troops and sent
them into battle with specific instructions of surrounding the enemy.
The French units were free to move, flexible and quick.
The Austrian troops surrendered.
This is the opposite of Concentrating Your Forces, hence it's on you to know, when to
unite and when to divide your army.
Slow, but strong or fast and precise.
7) Transform Your War into a Crusade 281 BC Hannibal arranged competitive war games
to demonstrate how far his men would go to join the upcoming fight, to show what they
were made of.
This is a lesson in leadership.
Managing men well means 1) leading by example.
You use the effects of emotion by emphasizing that you are 2) fighting for a noble cause
and that "God is on your side."
It's 3) all about the team, its spirit, the collective energy and 4) the achievement of
the mission ahead.
You 5) punish and reward behavior accordingly.
You 6) bond together through each action and 7) get rid of the black sheep, who disrupt
your leadership.
Part III) Defensive Warfare 8) Pick Your Battles
Winston Churchill said "You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones
at every dog that barks."
Now the trick is in discerning which dogs not only bark, but also bite.
You'd be surprised how few of them actually do and even fewer ever get the opportunity.
Control your ego and ignore the insignificant rest.
Do not let pride worsen your situation.
Some battles you cannot win.
Never start them in the first place.
Know your limits.
Some battles you can win, but at too high a cost.
A Pyrrhic victory will ruin you.
Make your battles worth your time and resources.
Why would you fight a battle with grim odds, when you don't have to?
Your energy is limited.
Don't waste it.
9) Turn the Tables In the 1944 Democratic Presidential race,
the Republican party slandered Franklin Roosevelt, but he did not respond until they attacked
his dog.
Roosevelt humiliated his opponent by defending his pet friend and exposing their desperate
move for what it was.
Roosevelt was not easily irritated.
He let his opponents make the first move, waiting and biding his time.
This way he could analyze their strategy and attack his rivals' weaknesses.
In history defenders are more often victorious, than attackers.
We humans do not like aggressors.
We don't like bullies.
We have a heart for the victims of such attacks, even when they lay the bait and provoke it.
Stay calm and turn the situation into your favor.
10) Create a Threatening Presence 1862 Stonewall Jackson put on a dominant act
intimidating George McClellan during the American Civil War by pointing to all of his opponents'
flaws.
Build the reputation of being a force of nature, a force to be reckoned with.
Unpredictability, madness, sudden and bold aggression is terrifiying.
Plant a seed of doubt in your opponent's mind and feed his paranoia.
Make them believe they cannot win and they will retreat.
To scare them means to break them.
But be careful.
Your opponent may call your bluff, if you're unwilling to back up your words with action.
Don't merely bark.
11) Trade Space for Time In the beginning of the Chinese Civil War
Mao Tse-tung's communists were forced to retreat.
Had the national party fought them at that time, they would have won.
But the communists took the opportunity and gathered support by uniting the peasantry,
defeating the nationalists in 1949 with a decided advantage.
This is similar to the Surrender Tactic.
Napoleon Bonaparte said "Space we can recover, time never."
You grant your opponent a small win in order to take up more space, grow your leverage
and weaken the enemy before battle.
Frustrate them by fighting on your terms.
This is classic Sun Tzu's Art of War material.
The enemy gives you chase you retreat.
The enemy retreats you pursue.
It's all about the advantage that determines the end result.
Part IV) Offensive Warfare 12) Lose The Battles But Win The War
Alexander the Great planned his campagin far into the future, which distinguished him from
other leaders.
One example of his purposeful goals was the capturing of all greater Persian Mediterranean
ports, effectively leaving the enemy without a navy and taking the sea component out of
future equations.
It wasn't obvious until it was too late.
Even though it has become a cliché; think several moves ahead.
Determine the bullseye, plan to the end and confuse your opponent leaving him unable to
read your actions, since they don't seem to have a connection.
In other words, make them focus on the trees so that they can't see the forest.
13) Know Your Enemy Prince Metternich met Napoleon Bonaparte hoping
he could find his weak spots.
A few years later he had helped arrange Napoleon's marriage to Marie Louise, who wasn't the most
pleasant wife.
Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo had also been the work of Metternich's spying in broad daylight.
Know thyself and know thy rival.
One of the greatest skills in war, as in seduction as in business is the ability to read people.
Master non-verbal communication, hide your observations and devise the most effective
tactics based on your insights.
14) Overwhelm Resistance With Speed and Suddenness In 1218 Genghis Khan overcame his opponent,
the one who shall not be named, with The Blitzkrieg Strategie.
He segmented his forces for mobility, lost small battles on purpose, then shifted to
serious and fast attacks, which the enemy had not anticipated.
You start by making slow moves to set the pace to which your rival adjusts, then exploit
the Überraschungsmoment to win the war quickly.
15) Control the Dynamic In 1942 during the 2nd World War, Erwin Rommel
fought the British on the North African deserts, using smaller units, keeping them on the move
and out of the opponent's reach.
In order to reduce the gap between events and status updates he'd often join the front
line.
You're in control.
Be assertive.
Zugzwang, navigate your opponent by forcing him to move, directly into your area of defense.
The only downside to control might be not admitting that you have it.
16) Hit Them Where it Hurts In 209 BC Publius Scipio conquered Nova Carthago,
which was the Carthaginian capital in Spain.
Scipio destroyed Hannibal's armies' vital supply lines.
Within 5 years Scipio captured Carthage and ended Hannibal's saga.
Everything has a center of gravity.
Take a hold of it and unbalance the remaining structure, cutting supply lines, belief systems
and chains of command.
17) Defeat Them in Detail Divide et Impera -- the Divide and Conquer
Strategy In 490 BC the Persians landed on the plains
of Marathon 24 miles near Athens, splitting their army at night, planning to attack Athens
by sea.
The Greeks attacked the remaining Persians, then ran all they way back to Athens to safeguard
the city.
This is the origin of "running a marathon."
Divide large units and they're easier targets.
When your enemies are on the defensive, they will try to unite and face you with their
full force.
You do not allow them such strength.
18) Expose and Attack Your Enemy's Soft Flank In 1796 Napoleon Bonaparte baited Baron Joseph
Alvinczy into charging forward, hence exposing his armies flank.
This was the opportunity Napoleon had hoped for, surrounding and defeating his opponent
once more.
Disorient your rival, make him drop his guard through indirection, then deliver a powerful
blow to his exposed and vulnerable side.
19) Envelop The Enemy In 1778 the Zulu warriors fought the British
in Natal pressuring them with surprise attacks out of nowhere by knowing their home territory
by heart.
Enclosing the opponent does a number on his mental well-being.
Feeling trapped they will retreat, if they can.
20) Maneuver Them Into Weakness Bokuden, a master samurai who was practicing
the art of "winning without hands" was challenged by a young swordsman.
Bokuden decided they should have the duel on an island.
As soon as the swordsman left the boat, the grandmaster pushed it away from the shore,
leaving the young warrior stranded.
Outsmart the opponent, avoiding an advantageless direct attack, through calculated moves, which
grant you greater control over the situation at hand.
21) Negotiate While Advancing In 359 BC Alexander the Great's father Philip
II of Macedonia came to power, Athens refusing to recognize him.
He spoke of peace and prosperity as he continued to expand his empire uniting other Greek city-states
to lead an attack on the Persians.
Negotiate, willing to come to a win-win arrangement, but keep moving focusing on your organization's
progress.
You avoid immediate conflict, while furthering your interests.
Your demands are bold, yet ever-more reasonable, as your shadow grows.
22) Know How To End Things In 1937 Lyndon Johnson won the election for
a Texas Congressional seat with the help of his friends in the party, defeating the older
and experienced politicians.
Not wasting a second he humbly took to them, thanked them and expressed his hopes for future
collaboration, successfully.
Show humility in victory and let fresh wounds heal.
It's in your best interest that everyone accepts the outcome, comes to terms with it and moves
on.
The exit strategy -- Ende gut, alles gut.
Part V) Unconventional (Dirty) War 23) Weave a Seamless Blend of Fact and Fiction
In the 2nd World War, the allies made use of key tactics that would cloud and slow down
Adolf Hitler's decision-making before the invasion at Normandy.
They sat a Doppelgänger of General Montgomery in a theater far away.
In Engand they set up what looked like an army, but wasn't.
Misinform your opponent, make him see upside down, while you see what is at all times.
Make a weak spot look strong, make a strong spot look weak.
Do the opposite of what your opponent is really wishing for.
However, don't fully rely on deception.
A skilled opponent might see through the illusion, play along and beat you at your own game.
24) Take The Line of Least Expectation In 219 BC Hannibal attacked the Roman army
baiting them through erratic behavior.
As the Romans crossed the Trebia, they found themselves facing gigantic war elephants.
Other times the Romans tried to bait Hannibal, but to no avail.
Great advantage comes from not meeting your opponent's expectations.
Others have a mental model of you based on past experiences, stories and conflict.
By going against this image they've created you surprise them in your favor.
25) Occupy the Moral High Ground Martin Luther, a German priest, argued against
Pope Leo X that only god can forgive one's sins, as the pope was trying to earn money
by selling privileges.
Luther revealed the hypocrisy, justifying his arguments as moral, attacking the reputation
of the pope and refuting him based solely on the bible.
You're good, your opponent is evil.
You create an us versus them dynamic, demonize the other and present your side as the virtuous
one.
However, you may lose support seeming righteous and condescending.
26) Deny Them Targets In 1812 Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Russia.
His French forces of 450'000 men were decimated to a mere 100'000 losing even more men on
their retreat.
The Russians were playing for time, drawing the French forward with little conflict, destroying
any resources they could not carry.
Guerrilla (Geh-Rrih-Ya) warfare works best on the minds of large armies, tiring and starving
the enemy, using nature to your advantage by letting them freeze in the cold or dry
up in the sun.
When your rival is ready to fight, frustrate him through your absence.
27) Seem to Work for the Interests of Others While Furthering Your Own
In 1467 the Duke of Burgundy allied with England in the hopes of attacking Louis of France
in unison.
Louis, however, was informed of the Duke's intentions and allied with England in the
same breath, crossing his adversary's plans.
Make strategic alliances that benefit you.
Do not hesitate to do favors for those who will be of help in the future.
As you treat others kindly and generously, you put them in your debt.
Keep in mind, rarely does anyone help you without an agenda.
28) Give Your Rivals Enough Rope To Hang Themselves In 1635 the French founded L'Académie Française
to protect their language from deteriorating.
When the Bishop the Noyons was given the position of counsel his arrogant and repelling demeanor
proved to be a threat to the cause.
He was given a speech to perform, with which he would make a total fool of himself.
His blindspots didn't allow him to recognize what humiliation he would bring over himself.
At last the Bishop left the academy on his own.
Some individuals are inherently self-destructive.
You let your adversaries end themselves as active agents in their own demise.
As they overreact, hurting their own reputation, show your innocence.
"Don't interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
29) Take Small Bites In the 2nd World War Charles de Gaulle visited
Winston Churchill to ask for permission for a small broadcast to his fellow countrymen
in France.
It was a small favor and Churchill didn't want to offend a fresh ally.
De Gaulle spoke to his people who had been suffering under the Blitzkrieg invasion of
the Germans.
De Gaulle promised to talk to them again the following day, which hadn't been part of the
bargain, but Churchill played along.
What harm could it do?
De Gaulle became more aggressive, calling the French people to arms, gathering ever-more
support, eventually leading his newly-recruited forces in Africa, creating the French Resistance
and becoming all too powerful, step by step.
When Churchill, regretting his decisions and Franklin Roosevelt wanted to replace de Gaulle
with a passive alternative, de Gaulle's supporters stood by him.
In order to avoid confrontation, people will give you more leeway and give in to small
demands.
With short attention spans they repeat mistakes, allowing your power to grow, as you play for
time.
30) Penetrate Their Minds In renaissance Florence the Medici discharged
Niccolò Machiavelli from his post.
Aiming to regain favor he then wrote a titleless letter to the Florentine government, on how
to take over and keep power as a ruler.
He didn't receive the thanks he was hoping for, but he kept writing, which improved his
remaining life and immortalized him as one of the most influental writers on the art
of governance and modern politics.
After his death the letter was published as "The Prince", another manuscript as "Discourses
on Livy."
Words are weapons.
Articulate and profound communication, the precise expression of valuable ideas, can
lift you out of poverty, end wars before they begin, make powerful friends and with a bit
of luck withstand the fall of time.
31) Destroy From Within Wilhelm Canaris infiltrated the German Defense
Ministry.
Adolf Hitler himself assigned Canaris in 1933 trusting his counsel, being impressed by his
skill.
It would take the German SS a full decade until they realized he had been working against
them, successfully.
Troy's walls were unbreakable, their archers well-seasoned and devestatingly accurate,
but it was the Trojan horse that they willingly let inside the city, mistaking it for a gift,
that crushed them.
Do not attack a fortification with full force, use deception and destroy from within.
32) Dominate While Seeming to Submit Mahatma Gandhi arranged a 200 mile march as
a peaceful protest against an imposed Salt Tax and deeming it harmless the authorities
stood idle, permitting it.
The march turned out to be a big success, thousands walking the streets in support of
Indians, but in disapproval of the British.
The government was too late to sabotage the passive-agressive move.
Peaceful non-aggression can be more effective, than any act of violence.
Your animosity is subtle.
While your opponent feels in control, since you don't appear to be eager for power, you
covertly fight for your cause.
33) The Chain Reaction Strategy The Nizari were an organization pursuing their
own interests by using assassins who hid in plain sight becoming one with large crowds
in the streets only to emerge and assassinate their targets with a dagger creating chaos
and spreading uncertainty in what was once a familiar and peaceful surrounding, while
increasing their power by recruiting anyone who felt betrayed by the state and its violent
attempts to squash the rebellion.
Unlike some would lead you to believe, throughout history the templars had improved the lives
of the common folk by building safe roads, the assassins on the other hand murdered to
further their own selfish cause.
However, not only evil can spread far and quickly through the chain reaction ... you
can be the change you want to see in the world and in popularizing this sentiment with your
help good may triumph over evil.
"When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
When I found I could not change the world, I tried to change my nation.
When I found I could not change the nation, I tried to change my town.
When I found I could not change the town, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself.
And suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact
on my family.
My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
Their impact could have changed the nation.
And I could indeed have changed the world."

Favourite YouTube Channels, New Art Books, Supplies + More - Duration: 15:50.
Hi my loves! I hope you are all well. As the title suggests, today I wanted to
share some of the things I have been loving recently. I've done videos like
this in the past where I've done like hauls and favourites but with this one, I
wanted to have less of a focus on things- like things that you need but don't
really need- and more of a focus on things of real value, or things I
consider to be of real value anyway, and maybe spotlight some talented creators
and I don't know a share some things of real inspiration I think you guys would
love. So to start with, I'm going to do the biggest category and that is
some youtubers that I really enjoy watching.
Now I'm not gonna mention anyone that I have mentioned before, but will have a
pinned comment down at the bottom, just of all of my favourite YouTubers
who I've mentioned in the past and, then anything else that I mention in
this video will be linked in the description along with timestamps for
you to be able to skip along to your heart's content. But we'll start
out with the category on art education. There are so many fantastic
teachers on this platform with their own areas of expertise and their own varying
points of view and approaches and I think it's really important to diversify
the amount of lessons and just the different types of information that we
take in. So I recently discovered this video (literally yesterday) in my
suggested called 'How Social Media is Ruining your Art' and it's by a creator
called Adam Duff and he- I mean- I quickly
realised on discovering his channel, an incredible teacher. He's a really
knowledgeable, also really down-to-earth guy and he has this wealth of lessons on
his channel for aspiring artists and also for any professionals in that field.
'Well you're an artist...'
'You're providing to your audience something of quality. Quality
takes time, quality takes concentration, quality requires trial and error, so if
you are gonna keep up with that rat race then you have a choice. You can either
wait, take your time...'
If nothing else, I think you guys should all watch this
social media video because it rings true to a comment that I get so much on this
channel from people who feel like they're discouraged by the lack of
attention that their work is getting on social media. This video really spoke to
me and I think it's just such an important thing for all of us especially
in this age of making art and posting it on the Internet. Another fantastic artist
and teacher who dedicates their time to sharing their knowledge on this platform
for free is Marco Bucci. He posts maybe once a month but it's such important,
fundamental stuff and broken down in a way that's so easy to digest and so easy
to go and practice straightaway. I just feel like there is so much that you can
learn from him. I know I said I wasn't gonna mention people that I have
mentioned before but I just had to give a shout out to Robin Sealark.
I love her videos, I find her so fun and captivating. She has a real free
approach to art, also a real discipline and a commitment to improving and
sharing that with her audience. 'Now I want to compartmentalize my time better
and make sure I'm being well-rounded in finding meaning in a lot of areas of my
life and making new goals....' She likes to
approach things as a challenge. She's not afraid to pinpoint things that she wants
to change or improve in her art and she really encourages that in her viewers
and I just always find I leave her videos wanting to go and make something.
Jared does some really fantastic gouache and watercolor demos that are so calming
and relaxing to watch that you don't even realize that you're learning as you
go along. There's a level of understanding behind everything he does
which he explains so clearly as he goes along but he's also not afraid of
imperfection and trying things even if he's not sure if that's the way to go.
Now I know nothing about oil painting but this is what I mean when I say that
we need to diversify the sources of information that we have because there
is so much of value, there's so much that is relevant to me on Andrews
channel. He is insanely talented but he's also very open to
sharing the process behind his art and also the journey he's taken to get to
the level of talent he's got right now. You know, rather than that myth of just
naturally being good, you can see the practice and the work that he's put in
and the years. And I also just love his videos
to see all those beautiful landscapes that he surrounds himself in. Another oil
painter, Cynthia hasn't posted in a little while but she has a really great
backlog of videos that hold so much value. She's another one that just seems
so real, so down-to-earth, and also very transparent with her process and the
thought behind her work. '...and that way, you can see exactly what your lights and
darks are doing without the color. Ultimately you still want your piece to
be readable either way so let's do that here, let's take a look at how this
painting breaks down when it's converted to greyscale...' She just strikes me as
someone that has a really kind heart and it also really knows what they're
talking about. Alright, next category is studio vlogs.
I know you guys love seeing behind the scenes of artists and I personally love
seeing how that day-to-day varies so much from one artist to another. Right
I've been watching Joy for ever and I am constantly in awe of the amount of work
that she puts in around her job, her constant innovation and creativity, the
products that she's making, the storytelling, her art style... just
everything she does- I'm just in love! I find her so relatable and hers are the
type of video that I save for when I really need that kick up the butt to get
productive and get some work done. She really spurrs me on to want to make
things. Catherine is another insanely hard worker. I love seeing the behind the
scenes of how she creates and sells her products from coming up with
the concepts and actually creating them and then getting them up for sale,
photographing them... all of that! She's so transparent with that process and I
think that's so useful for aspiring artists and illustrators. She really
shows the realness and the hard work that goes in behind the scenes of being
an artist. Plus she has the most infectious personality, she is like the
embodiment of a ray of sunshine. Okay random fact that's kind of boring but I
love names that end in 'ica', like Erica, Monica, Danica... so I loved Sarica's channel
even before I'd watched her videos. But I discovered her during vlogmas
and she's another one of those people that really draws you in with a warm and
welcoming personality. She's also crazy talented, she mainly does journaling
videos which I know you guys will love, but I also really enjoyed her vlogmas
as well again seeing that behind the scenes of what she does and
how she creates products and stuff like that. Another channel I find really
motivating even though it's in a different kind of art area to what I
would normally be into, that being like conventions and OCs and stuff like
that, is trickywagon. It's another great and different perspective into the
life of a freelancer and products they make and their process and obstacles and
again another really relatable and down-to-earth creator.
Okay the last of my favorite YouTube channels are less art specific but more
channels I turn to for that creative boost and inspiration. It's really great
to consume different media and find inspiration in different places than
just pure art. So the first one is kind of art-related. It is the Baumgartner
Restoration channel. You probably have seen this in your suggested, I've
seen his channel like skyrocket since I subscribed I think he's gained about
200,000 subscribers in like the last month but for good reason. This guy, he
just really carefully and beautifully restores these old paintings he does his
videos just with sound, with the sounds of his studio and the work he's doing
but he also will then re-do the video with a voiceover and you get to hear
just the intricacies of that process I just find it's so fascinating and so
immersive to watch. I just love this channel- the main reason I'm making this
video is because I wanted to mention this channel- I would really
recommend at least watching one of these videos because there's a real art
to it. Okay similar in the creative and
peaceful use of sound is this channel that I can't pronounce. It's a vlog
channel, mainly focused on food I find. There's also a really cute puppy.
But yes, kind of just day-to-day life, no talking, just that ambient noise and- I
don't know- I find it really calming, beautifully shot and great sound
design. Nowness is an interesting one. I don't watch all their videos, I think
they posted every day so some of them are a bit hit-and-miss for me, but I do
like the way they produce their videos. I like just seeing different
artists and different areas and different crafts. I really like
this series that they have that's called In Residence where you get to go inside
of the most beautiful and unique houses and just hear them being spoken about in
a way that's so poetic. The videos just in general are short and artsy and for
some reason, they always just make me feel like I want to create.
And finally, and a little bit of a random one, is fairyland cottage which is a
channel that is kind of about living more sustainably, making things yourself,
respecting and being more a part of nature and relaxing and slowing down and
being more mindful. Niamh has the most calming and warm personality, the most
gorgeous voice and accent, the way the videos are shot is lovely... it's
like a warm bubble bath, watching her videos. Or- I don't know- a hot drink on a
really cold day. Okay, so next we're onto books. The first thing I wanted to
mention is the one I mentioned I think in my 'getting my life together' blog
where I was talking about setting new goals for the year in small achievable steps.
The book is called 'One small step could change your life, the Kaizen
way' it's by Robert Mauer and it's a really concise ,quite succinctly
written, a quick and easy read. Just easy to digest, easy to take actionable steps
afterwards which I always like in those kinds of self-help books and I think
it's a great one for this time of year where we're all looking to
have a fresh start and improve in some way. It's really helped me reevaluate how
I approached my goals and I'm feeling a lot more capable this year and a lot
more hopeful to really take those steps one tiny little increment at a time to
becoming the person I want to be. Okay so JAW Cooper is an artists I'm sure
you all have heard of or at least seen some of her art. She has this beautiful,
fluid, quite natural style that's also- it can be quite almost disturbing, quite
gross and distorted at times. It's just this gorgeous combination of the
grotesque and the beautiful and she recently came out with a collection of
books compiling her recent work. I got this one. This is
Visera. There's a collection of the three books. I really
wanted to get my hands on all of them, this is the only one that I could get my
hands on at that time. And yeah it's just full of really beautiful quality images
of her work, her sketches, some finished paintings and it's a great insight into
her mind as an artist, and it just feels like such an honour to be able to see
that side and be able to see the background behind some pieces of art
that I'm sure you would have seen before. It's a book that I find myself
constantly reaching for when I need that visual stimulation and just a great
snapshot into the mind of an artist- a really talented artist. And in general,
it's just a really beautiful quality art book. So the next book is a book I
received in my PO Box a couple of days ago and this is Book Love by Debbie
Tung. I've already read it front to back, it's basically a collection of comics
about the love of books. I know you guys will love this. Just really
quirky and funny and relatable little comics about bookworms and book life
struggles. The next one is one that's been in my Amazon wishlist for so
long just because it's one that I constantly see being recommended by
professional artists as a kind of guide to get you started in the freelance
world and it's 'How to be an illustrator' by Darrel Rees sent to me by Polo so
thank you so much Polo and thank you for everything! I know I say it a lot but
really, it means so much to have your support. It's been constant and just
unwavering so thank you. And thank you for this, I can't wait to give it a
proper read. I've had a good skim through it and it's just it seems so full of
really useful information so if you guys are looking for kind of a guide to how
to be a professional in this field then I would really recommend this book. So
since we are now on the topic of my PO Box, I will do a few little bits and bobs
I've received over the last few months. It's been a little while since I've done
a PO box unboxing and the main reason for that is with the move and everything
going on, I've got a lot of stuff here there and everywhere. I also would really-
if you do send me anything please give me a way to contact you either
through email or through Instagram because I don't get to show everything
and I would love to be able to send you a message at least to say
thanks. But to start off with, really striking print from Julie Celina,
it's just gorgeous colours, fantastic work. She also sent some of the most detailed
pencil work I've ever seen and this gorgeous original painting of me which
was such a fantastic treat so thank you so much Julie Celina. I will have links as
always to anyone I mentioned in this video, I know you guys will love having a
proper look at these people and their work, so please do go and spread the love
and show them the same support that they've shown to me. Next up is this
really awesome print from Nastasia of an artichoke. I love this graphic style, I
also love the paper that it's printed on. I just- there's something
about the simplicity of this and the use of line weight that just really speaks
to my soul, so thank you so much for this Nastasia! I've got some really cool work
from Faye who was written before so thanks so much for getting back in touch.
Her artwork has just come leaps and bounds since she last messaged me so I'm
so impressed and so proud, it just really looks like she's been consistently
working on improving her art and it really really shows. Even the envelope
that she sent the letter in is beautifully adorned so thanks so much
Faye, lovely to hear from you again. I also received this inktober zine from
Buzzy and a great letter to go along with it. It's always lovely to hear from
you Buzzy so thank you! I love the theme of this zine and just the quality of
work is really something special so thank you! Also got these stickers
from Deandra. These are so cute, you guys have got to go and check out her-
I'll leave her Instagram, I think she has an Etsy shop as well- you've gotta go and
see if you can get your hands on some of these stickers because they're awesome.
And thank you so much for your letter Deandra, I love the little doodles on
here as well. And finally, something I've been really waiting to share with you
guys; I was so lucky to get my hands on Mel Chadwicks little collection of
Porthleven sketches. So this is like a book of postcards made up of some
drawings that she did of the town I believe that she was living in at the
time, I don't know if she still lives there. Mel I watch on YouTube anyway so it was
so amazing to just receive this out of the blue. I'll leave a link to her
channel below. She does great vlogs as well and just beautiful artwork. I love
the style, I love her use of water and line as well so I'm so grateful to
have these. I kind of wanna send them out to people as
postcards but I kind of also just want to keep them for myself. Another cool
thing in here is this 'ten ways to cultivate a sketchbook habit' little
pocket guide where she's got all these little tips illustrated as well. I just
think she's incredibly talented. She also does interviews with creators. Her
channel and her artwork in general are such fantastic resources and I
definitely would recommend that you check her out. But other than that, I
think that is it for this video. If you have any suggestions, any people that you
want to shout out down below, I would really love that. I think would be great
to use this comment section as a place to really share and promote the people
that we think deserve it. And as always make sure you check out the description
for any links to anything you might be interested in. Make sure you go out and
spread the love and I will see you soon for the next video. Bye!

The 5 Most Influential Half-Life Mods - Duration: 2:55.
Half-Life was a great game, had a huge impact on the shooter genre and everybody who grew
up back then loved this game, myself included.
Valve did a decent job of releasing new content for all of us to play, such as Blue Shift and
Opposing Force, but the real heroes were the modders who filled the void with hundreds
of standalone fangames of every concievable length and quality.
A few of them are super famous, and if it made this list, it's because I think you should
go play it.
Quick Disclaimer: This list is only interested in mods, not retail spinoffs.
So no Counter-Strike or Team Fortress Classic.
If you have to pay money for it, it isn't a mod.
#1 Adam.
OK on second thought, you probably can skip playing this one.
It was one of the earliest Half-Life mods, came out in 2000, and it had one of those
classic half-baked fangame plots about being an alien trying to kill Einstein...but none
of that mattered 95% of the gameplay was just using Half-Life assets to make Black Mesa
rooms in your average military base, and the only real "legacy" this mod has is...this
naked chick.
See, for whatever reason, the developer felt the need to add a military brothel that the
player briefly travels through, and that custom-model became THE base for so many female characters
in other mods.
Since Half-Life itself has like, no girls whatsoever, you would find this model all
over the place back in the day, wearing all sorts of different outfits.
#2: They Hunger was one of the largest and most ambitious Half-Life mods ever made, and
my personal favorite on this list.
Starring a writer surviving the zombie apocalypse in a lonely countryside town, They Hunger
does for John Romero-style zombie horror what Half-Life itself did for laboratory-catastrophe
horror.
Almost all the environmental assets were custom-made and it featured custom voice-acting, music,
and enemies including zombified farm animals.
They Hunger set the bar for every mod to come afterward by showing just what the GoldSrc
engine was capable of.
#3 Wanted! was another total conversion mod, this time set in a spaghetti western frontier
and starring a sheriff chasing after a gang of bandits who just ransacked his town.
Wanted! is a great game in itself, but its biggest legacy is its loads of custom GoldSrc
scripts that future modders could use to slowly branch out from just using Half-Life assets.
Due to being set in Wild West, most of the weapons were custom-scripted, and Wanted!
also came bundled with a multiplayer mode that featured working bots and game modes
other than just Deathmatch.
#4 Afraid of Monsters is a full-blown horror mod, released in 2006.
You play as a suburban man suffering from night terrors and addicted to painkillers,
and the gameplay involves stumbling through ordinary locations like hospitals and houses
fighting your own hallucinations.
Not only did Afraid of Monsters get its own Director's Cut which is a huge upgrade to
the orignal mod, the same developers used a lot of the skills they learned making Afraid
of Monsters to create the spiritual successor Cry of Fear, which is itself a hugely influential
horror game.
And finally #5 Sven Coop has set the standard for Multiplayer Half-Life mods ever since
first coming out in 1999.
It took the Half-Life single-player campaign and made it cooperative, so the whole server
can play through the game at the same time.
It has a staggering number of user-made maps, and as of 2016 it's even available on Steam,
containing the complete campaigns for Blue Shift, Opposing Force, They Hunger, and Afraid
of Monsters.
Of all the games on this list, it's the only one to maintain a dedicated community of its
own, and you can still find hundreds of thriving servers even today.
Again, I highly recommend you try any of these games out, there are download links in the
description.
Thanks for watching, this is aabicus with the SPUF of Legend, have a good 2019!

✅ Alda D'Eusanio: una frase durante la diretta dell'Isola indigna il pubblico - Duration: 3:04.
Alda D'Eusanio prende la parola all'Isola dei famosi ma il pubblico non apprezza: la frase che ha fatto indignare i presenti in studio Riuscire a gestire una diretta televisiva, spesso, è molto più difficile di quanto si possa immaginare
Per questo motivo, senza volerlo, chi prende la parola in questi casi può correre il rischio di esprimersi velocemente e di essere frainteso dal pubblico
Questo è successo stasera ad una delle due opinioniste dell'Isola dei Famosi, Alda D'eusanio, che parlando con Demetra Hampton si è lasciata sfuggire una frase che non è molto piaciuta ai presenti in studio
Cosa ha detto per fare così tanto arrabbiare il pubblico da beccarsi i "Buuu" delle persone che la stavano ascoltando? Ebbene, aver usato i termini "Bellezza sfiorita" riferendosi all'età di Demetra è stata considerata da molti un'uscita infelice
Alda D'Eusanio a Demetra Hampton: "I tuoi 50… la tua bellezza sfiorita" La settimana appena trascorsa non è stata semplice per Demetra Hampton
La naufraga, che all'Isola dei famosi ha avuto diversi momenti di sconforto, è stata allora interpellata stasera da Alessia Marcuzzi, proprio per cercare di capire bene l'origine del suo malessere
Con l'occasione, allora, Demetra ha potuto parlare anche con suo marito e, tra uno scambio di affettuosità e l'altro, è stato a questo punto che si è inserita Alda D'Eusanio
L'opinionista rivolgendosi ai due, ha detto: "La tua grande difficoltà è fare i conti con te stessa
Demetra tu stai facendo i conti con i tuoi 50, con la tua bellezza sfiorita". Alda D'Eusanio parla con Demetra e scatena le critiche: anche sui social gli utenti non hanno apprezzato le sue dichiarazioni La frase pronunciata da Alda D'Eusanio, come anticipato sopra, non è piaciuta per niente al pubblico presente alla diretta
In studio, infatti, si è sentito una sorta di boato, segno questo che non tutto quello che è stato detto da Alda è stato apprezzato
Inutile il tentativo di lei di spiegarsi meglio e quello di Alba Parietti di sdrammatizzare facendo dell'ironia
Anche sui social, difatti, l'uscita dell'opinionista non è stata apprezzata.

01: Introduction! - Duration: 1:17.
All right so I guess we're doing this So, what's up
my name is Tyler, I'm 17 years old living just outside Glasgow and it's four
days until I start testosterone! That's an exciting prospect. So I thought what better way to document it than start a Youtube channel?
It's something I've wanted to do for a while anyway but didn't really have the confidence to do so until now, I guess.
...That's my dog crying in the background. One of the main reasons I
wanted to do it was because when I was starting my transition I didn't really
know what to expect from the gender clinic, I mean I was stuck on a year-and-a-bit long waiting
list and so I was trying to find resources from guys in Scotland but there
just wasn't a lot. I wanted to document my own personal transition for a while
not just do it on like, Instagram stories - something more permanent. Just sort of
voice changes, face changes, mood... and also talk about topics within the trans
community because I don't really have a place to talk about that. So... yeah
Look forward to more updates um - I mean I might not post regularly, I don't get a lot of free
time. No one's in just now, I'm standing up the back of my living room talking to a
phone... that's fantastic. But-
Yeah...
Shall hopefully keep you updated!

These scenes are widely discussed on social media.
A video clip which began circulating shows NATO F-15 jet fighter being intercepted by Russian Su-27.

Observers, some of them even military pilots, have evaluated Russian pilots' maneuver as correct and professional.

Luxury Backpacking Gear - Is There Such A Thing? - Duration: 6:26.
Luxury backpacking
Is there even such a thing? I?
don't really know like where to start this discussion because this actually was kind of a difficult video for me to
methodically put together because I don't necessarily view very many specific gear items as
Luxury items but we'll try to have the discussion anyway
And the reason that I'm doing this video is my friend Dan Becker. I should check out his channel link down in the description
He tagged me in this luxury backpacking
Challenge video that is going around
Between all of the backpacking channels right now
and I thought why not go ahead and
Take the challenge and see what I can present as my luxury
Backpacking out is because I don't know
I've gotten to the point where I just take what I feel like is necessary for me when I'm out backpacking and
I'm still kind of laughing about it because I literally struggled to decide what I wanted to choose as a luxury
Backpacking item. I've said luxury backpacking about 70 times so far
So luxury backpacking for number 71 there
Okay, let's let's talk about some of the things that I feel like allow me to enjoy my experience in the backcountry a little bit
More and the first thing that I'll talk about is the bivi stick
But we'll generalize this into satellite communication devices in general. I
Have been using this for the past
Month and a half almost two months and I really love having the ability to communicate
with my loved ones my wife in particular while I'm out on the trail and so
At some point when I'm not using the Bibby stick anymore
I'm going to be getting myself and inReach mini and using that as a satellite communication device
I have more or less decided that this is a necessary item to have in my backpacking system
It is in the essence of the definition of a luxury
Definitely a luxury item because it's not 100% necessary
It it's not like a sleeping bag or a sleeping pad or a tent or a shelter
That you need when you're out there to be comfortable safe and protected from the elements. This is a
Insurance device more or less. The next item is something that I just love and adore
Just love the fry bake this is one of the greatest pieces of backpacking gear of all time it
It's never failed me
It's been just a 100% awesome piece of gear and I choose to take this over
just boiling water and rehydrating food, even though I happen to be a
ambassador for a
Freeze-dried meal company peak refuel. I
Still love to cook fresh food. And this allows me to do that in a really convenient manner
And so the fry bake is a luxury item in that way because it's not
necessary, but it adds comfort and convenience to
the type of
Eating and cooking that I like to do out on the trail
Fry baked Alpine in Alpine eight inch deep. This is a killer product. Definitely recommend that
now the last item
Items that I want to talk about that's why I'm standing here
in front of this tent and as well as I've got this backpack is
For me a luxury item also comes down to having something that you are
incredibly psyched about that just enhances your experience because
You are that excited to have that piece of gear in your gear system, and that's how I feel about my waymark
custom 38 litre
Pack this has been a luxury item because it's so personalized to me
That it allows me to have a better experience on the trail
and I think that's what we kind of want to accomplish with this luxury discussion is
that
It allows you to have a better experience. And so definitely this thing carries super comfortable on back
it's a great way for me to shave weight and
it allows me to have a really great time on the trail because of how it's built and just the thought that
one person in Salt Lake City
Made this by hand. It wasn't mass-produced and this is my
baby
So man, I'm weird
But the same thing kind of goes with a really great shelter system if I've got
Something that makes me feel more at home in the backcountry
I'm all for it. And that's how this black diamond highlight is for me and I love love love this tent
so there's my luxury gear items and I want to thank Dan for
Tagging me in this and it's gonna be fun to watch the other channels that produce their luxury
backpacking item videos and I guess I should go ahead and tag to other channels and
See what they come up with and those channels are gonna be Bryce newbold as well as the shell brothers outdoors
I'm curious to see what you guys come up with and
Yeah, so those are the two channels that I have
Tagged they're links down in the description as well. Check out all three of those guys
Particularly, dan, dan has got a really neat personality. He's fun on camera and
His channel is growing very quickly
He's just started out in the last few months. So definitely check out Dan. He's a great great guy and
Highly recommended. So thank you for watching guys
