Auto news on Youtube Dec 30 2018

I'm doing this article on December 28 2018 and there's been an outage for a couple

days with CenturyLink and this got me thinking you know not so much about the

specifics of this particular outage even though it's pretty serious a lot of

people have been without internet which they rely upon to do a lot of financial

transactions a lot of businesses having problems 911 services emergency calls

not going through and they've been sending out beacon updates to

people's cell phones alerting them that 911 services are down in certain areas

and this is going all across the country happening in different parts different

pockets you can find information about it online if you want to look it up but

this has kind of got me thinking a little bit more about you know

consolidation of different industries and the way companies bounce around

between ownerships I've done some articles in the past about Ericsson and

SAIC specifically - Science Applications International Corporation

now known as Leidos as well that they have some interests with

telecommunications that allow these two companies specifically to gain a lot of

market share over the warehousing specifically of phone numbers and

your internet experience it's meaning to get domain website

address things of that nature things that I'm not quite as familiar with but

effectively merging things that are IT more Information Technology and

telecommunications together into the same systems and so these two companies

specifically had a lot of ownership over the merging of other companies and then

they wind up having part or different ownership and even sometimes these two

companies just bounce ownership back and forth of these other

warehousing companies that'll have a control over your phone number for

example so when you call somebody on the phone this will affect the way that that

call processes so meaning that a lot of times that the same people who

are providing the infrastructure on your cell phone call they're as well

also handling the processing of the phone numbers and so that being Ericsson

in this case and so I noticed that I did some articles about how that was a

little bit troubling that Telcordia had that kind of ownership and I

realized that even more has been transferred over to them over the last

couple years and so there's a debate at the FCC over whether or not you know

this last company Nuestar that had I guess they were doing it for over a

decade they had sole responsibility of that

warehousing and so I thought about this just as a person it used to be in the

telecommunications industry not that long ago about you know what a process

that must be to take all those services from one company to another I

mean that's a lot of problems that you're welcoming to transfer those

services and these are things that law enforcement relied upon to do wiretaps

and things like that this is this is something that's very potentially

disruptive so if you're thinking about moving that service even though I

understand competition is important like you would really want it to be for like

a really serious reason so I would think that there must have been at least where

I would hope that there would have been some reason why that they would have

wanted to do that aside from just competition even though that's that in

and of itself I think is healthy you definitely you definitely want to have

you know competition with services but that's in particular this is one of the

reasons why I think these things need a more education and debate is because

some of these things really should be more of a nationalized type service

instead of it being going back and forth between different companies this way

especially when it's our phone numbers and our internet experience and things

like that where we get our information from because increasingly you're gonna

be doing your voting you're going to be doing your things that are very your

most well you're already probably doing a lot of your very most what you want to

call it sensitive financial transactions and things like that online so who do

you trust with these things is extremely important and the fact that certain

places that don't have the best rather companies that don't have the best

history ethics wise are in control these things I think is a little bit troubling

and I'm just saying that as we're looking into the CenturyLink issue

especially if you're the FCC and you're reformer at the FCC I would hope that

you're going to take a little step beyond about who potentially might be

affecting service as a CenturyLink relies upon as well because this is such

a broad outage and it affected so many different types of services that you

really have to kind of look like beyond just this fiber optic provider of these

large links they go countrywide you know like there must be something that they

link to I would think they potentially could have caused this problem too

- I'm telling you this is somebody who's worked at a wireless company when our

cell towers at the time were connected via certain like fiber-optic links or

telecommunication links from local telecommunications companies so a lot of

times even though yeah you're using wireless technology right well that got

to get you wirelessly from the cell phone to the tower but once you are in the base

station something has to get you back to a central office a lot of times that's a

relied upon relationship with these fiber optic companies like CenturyLink

is one of them they do a lot of business with the wireless companies to provide

those backhauling so sometimes when they have an outage it's going to affect the

wireless carriers as well so that can take down a lot of cell towers

simultaneously and the point is is that I just thought it was a little bit weird

that there wouldn't be more redundancy you know and more reasoning behind that

are more immediate explanations but again I'm thinking there's not more

of an immediate explanation because there may be a reason external from

CenturyLink as to why it happened it's the same reason why a lot of times when

you're at the wireless company it's like you don't want to be quick especially

when the press is involved to say like no they did it or they did it or we did

it they don't want to do that they want to just make sure that they have all

their C-Y-A as it's called Cover Your Ass done you know to make sure that they

have to make sure that they're not the problem as to why that technically why

it happened so that's probably what a lot of they're doing the first 24 hours

there's all these different companies are going is it us is it us and then

once they determine it's not them then they're making sure they've called in

all their trouble tickets and are following up with the other companies

and so there's probably still some of that going on right here with this

particular problem especially knowing how things are getting more centralized

changes have been made the last two or three years between you know this

company Neustar that used to manage a lot of the phone numbers specifically

that did manage a lot of 9-1-1 services so this could be in that same territory

that Telcordia AKA iConectiv which is a subsidiary of Ericsson okay so the

reason why I'm a little bit bothered by that and I've done articles that I'll put in

here and I've talked about them before it's just that they just have a bad

track record historically for bribery extortion blackmail and that type of

thing or accusations of it there's been a lot of mainstream press articles on

this there was the whole controversy surrounding them

paying Bill Clinton $750,000 for a speech I think was maybe 45 minutes and

then within about I think a week or two when Hillary Clinton was at the State

Department she cleared I guess the way for Ericsson to do some business in

Iran and so you know this is why we're having these conversations - we're not having them enough

I'm personally trying to get the conversations going more with people who

I would hope would be reformers at the FCC to say like hey

have you really examined why that's troubling why it's bothersome to some

people that we have these weird relationships that are kind of going on

between these multinational companies that are based out of sometimes Sweden

or Norway or sorry, not Norway, but in Finland - sorry sorry people from Norway I mean Finland

I'm talking about Nokia they're in Finland I apologize but uh and then

Ericsson's based out of Sweden so there's these debates between West

versus East right a lot of times because you have Chinese companies like Huawei

and ZTE that are competing for American business but are being kind of ousted

because of concerns about whether or not it's secure to have Chinese companies

involved with American telecommunications all I would hope is

that if we're going to make those kind of evaluations on our friends in China

that we would at least make that same type of evaluation on people in Sweden

because there is a little bit of bias there I do understand that the United

States has a different relationship with Sweden than they do China but given the

relationship that Ericsson seems to have had with a lot of different come you

know countries and different groups historically I don't think it's really

outside the realm of- rather, I do think it's proper to question if we're

evaluating that appropriately I also don't want to rule out that there

is Samsung out of South Korea that offers infrastructure equipment so full

disclosure I am aware of them just because I've done work around them

before and they're within their groups and things like that so I'm familiar

with how they operate too it's just that they haven't come up as much within

these news stories but yeah they're another competitor for these types of

things as well is Samsung so but really when you think about it I can only think

of about five companies really as far as far as like where the the large

companies are that for this type of infrastructure

equipment for the wireless industry so when you make a cell phone call you know

who you trust with that is basically the you know country wise I'm talking about

Sweden Finland and two in Kor- excuse me, two in China and then large

ones I should say and then you have the Samsung in South Korea so it's like you

know really when you're talking about where you're gonna trust with your

telecommunications it's like you have to evaluate all these people fairly and

appropriately that's all I'm trying to explain here and you know you really do

have to look at everybody's history all together to see how they've been

handling these things so and I'm just you know talking about FCC as far as

people that are trying to do things to maybe reform and things like that all I

can tell you is that when I was looking into the documentation about how we've

been handling the thing involving the number portability and how the

numbers are warehoused in the United States and that whole dynamic between the

debate between Neustar and Telcordia which is now Iconnectiv which is a

subsidiary of Ericsson out of Sweden so that's a lot of consolidated power now that we

have with Ericsson in our country we've trusted basically this company with tons

and tons of cell towers here and that's great if that's a relationship that's

working for the United States and you trust it that's fine okay but you know

we need to really look into the relationship what what kind of

investigative bodies do we have within the FCC to make sure everything's

working for the consumer for the United States government I feel like there's a

disconnect between what's secure for our military for our government for our

population and what's actually occurring at the FCC and then when I start looking

at how these decisions are made I just see that it's populated mostly by

industry insiders and people that are the board members of very you know or

tech you know VPS and things like that of various companies vice presidents as

or presidents or board members of major corporations or regional corporations in

the telecommunications industry and in my research of especially ones that are

regional in nature I'll find that they're owned by the same families you

know over and over again just using different family members or different

names of you know they marry into a family and the

they buy another company but you're always almost dealing with the same

group of people sometimes in an entire state where they owned almost the entire

cluster so it's just um I feel like this consolidation is not really being

addressed appropriately it's like this allows a group of people at the FCC now

when they go to investigate the CenturyLink issue are really going to

understand what the larger problem is or is it going to be easy for them to kind

of go like what we don't want people to know what happened let's all just you

know give us a nice clean explanation and walk away from it you know that's

what I'm wondering you know so I'm just saying I hope that you will look into

those relationships a little bit better I have faith that the FCC will be on the

right track to do that you know if not now at some point you know I just kind

of believe that there's people out there that can kind of see that there's some

issues going on right now that require a little bit more evaluation and so I

would just say is that even though I'm a little bit of an unconventional person

and perhaps you know not every way that I do jives with the way that the federal

government likes everything to be and things like that if you want to consult

with me on things I'd be happy to talk to anybody from that group I just think

that you have some issues and you know you gotta be honest with you I did look

at one of the decision documents and I found a name that I recognized and it

was a person that frankly I'm just gonna be straight up with you I'm not gonna

say their name out loud here obviously but yeah I know I recognized their name

and I knew them to be a person that is not ethical they have issues so that

bothered me that I saw that they're a person that's on the FCC board and is

entrusted with some of these decisions so I think that that's worth mentioning

so you know I'm not telling you that I'm a person that should be on there I'm not

sure I want to I don't really like going over the minutiae of telecommunications

industry jargon I really don't like it at all

but as a person that used to be in the industry and is not really subjected to

any of their issues or anything like that meaning my employment opportunities

you obviously no longer revolve around them and things like that so I don't you

know I don't really mind talking about these things from an industry

perspective as a person that used to be in it to tell you kind of like

yeah I don't know I feel like there's something that might be a little bit

larger going on with this and it's worth looking into so I hope people will

you know also realize there's also the potential that maybe that part has been

recognized by certain people within the government the military and they may be

doing some tests to potentially soft cut or hard cut between an old system to a

newer system like as a backup or to have some redundancy to it I don't know you

know it may have been a test to do something like that and some problems

happened with it but what I do know is that we've trusted I don't know a very

small number of group groups to do a lot of critical infrastructure with our

communications and Internet experience and I've been a little bit concerned

about the ethics of companies like SAIC and Ericsson personally and just knowing

how much of our internet experience and our telecommunications our wireless

experience our phone numbers experience pretty much everything we do every day

is affected by these two companies it kind of bothers me that they have so

many issues of ethics and I'll put those articles and links to them inside the

description here so you can read them but you know I just think that this is

an opportunity to take advantage to like you know become more familiar with how

decisions are made at the FCC and I'll lead you link to some documents that

I've been reading and everything like that so that you can kind of see what

I'm talking about we had these clips here inside this

document as well or inside this clip as well so thank you for watching and yeah

thanks

16 Proven Methods For Gaining Self Discipline - Duration: 11:22.

Brainy Dose Presents:

16 Proven Methods For Gaining Self Discipline

Self discipline is the most vital component for attaining any worthy goal.

It's that drive that makes you move forward to continue - especially when you have times

that you don't feel like it.

Whether you're trying to improve your skills, do better at work, or trying to get in shape

- without self discipline, you simply won't have the momentum to make the progress you

want.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to learn self-discipline and gain the willpower

to achieve your goals and live a happier life.

If you're looking to take control of your habits and choices, here are some powerful

things you can do to master self-discipline!

Number 1 - Understand Yourself

First, to build self discipline you need to understand in what areas of your life you

are not being disciplined.

Where would you like to be more disciplined?

What are the areas that you're struggling with the most?

What are some important things in your life that you keep putting off - but yet know that

if you were to do them, they would make a huge impact?

Write these things down, and also write down why you are currently not doing them.

Next to each, write down why you want to do them.

Re-frame your situation into a positive - and look at the benefits of actually doing something

about it.

Number 2 - Focus On The Long-Term

What are your long-term goals?

What are you trying to achieve in life?

Think about the long-term benefits of taking action now.

For example, you may find it hard to get off the couch and go to the gym, or go for a run.

In this case, think about how the actions you take today will affect your health and

your overall well-being.

Focusing on your long-term goals will help you understand the importance of why you need

to do something now.

Number 3 - Set Realistic And Achievable Goals

People often make the mistake of setting a goal that is next to impossible to achieve

- hoping they will have the self-discipline to see it through.

But, it doesn't work that way.

You need to learn to set realistic goals and set milestones for your long term goals.

This will not only help you improve your self discipline, but it will also allow you to

easily monitor your progress and it will also boost your motivation for further goals.

If you need help with this, check out our video about setting goals – you can find

the link in the description box below.

Number 4 - Don't Wait For It To "Feel Right"

If you want to develop self-discipline, you have to change up your usual routine.

At first, this can be extremely uncomfortable and awkward, and your brain will resist the

change in favor of what it has already been programmed to do.

You need to acknowledge that it will take a while for the new routine to feel right

- but, you need to keep moving forward if you want to build up your self-discipline.

Number 5 - Remove Temptations

Like the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind."

It turns out, this little phrase offers some powerful advice.

By simply removing your biggest temptations from your environment, you will greatly improve

your self-discipline.

For example:

• If you want to eat healthier, toss the junk food in the trash.

• If you want to improve your productivity at work, turn off social media notifications

and silence your phone.

You get the point…

The fewer distractions you have, the more focused you will be on accomplishing your

goals.

Set yourself up for success by ditching bad influences.

Number 6 - Create New Habits By Keeping It Simple

Acquiring self-discipline and working to instill a new habit can feel daunting at first - especially

if you focus on the entire task at hand.

To avoid feeling intimidated, keep it simple.

Break your goal down into small, doable steps.

Instead of trying to change everything at once, focus on doing one thing consistently,

and master self-discipline with that goal in mind.

For example:

• If you're trying to achieve better sleeping habits, start by going to bed 15 minutes earlier

each night.

• If you want to eat healthier, start by prepping a lunch bag the night before.

Take baby steps.

Eventually, when you're ready, you can add more goals to your list.

Number 7 - Practice Self-Denial

Learn to say no to some of your feelings, impulses and urges.

Train yourself to do what you know to be right - even if you don't feel like doing it.

For example:

• Skip dessert some evenings.

• Limit your screen time.

• Resist the urge to yell at someone who has irritated you.

Stop and think before you act - and think about consequences.

When you practice self-restraint, it helps you develop the habit of keeping things under

control.

Number 8 - Schedule Your Time

Scheduling your time is a great way to develop self-discipline.

For example, let's say you've been wanting to write a book, but you're finding it hard

to get started.

If you schedule 30 minutes of writing time each day for the next 7 days - by the end

of the week, you will have spent 3 and a half hours writing your book!

The key is to stick to the time you have scheduled.

Obviously allow for some flexibility - however, if you can't work the 30 minute scheduled

time frame, make sure you do it at an earlier or later time.

If it can't be done that day, make sure you add an extra 30 minutes to the following

day - otherwise, you will find yourself slacking.

Number 9 - Make A Daily Checklist

To help you exercise self discipline, it's helpful to create a daily to-do-list.

Take a few minutes, and on a piece of paper write down the tasks that you want to accomplish

for the day.

Prioritize the list, and start working on the most important one.

When you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve for the day, the chances of you

accomplishing those tasks will be much higher.

By sticking to your to-do-list, you'll not only improve your self discipline, but you'll

eliminate excuses and never miss a thing in your daily routine!

Number 10 - Be Your Own Coach

Positive self-talk can be extremely beneficial.

When you find yourself being tested, talk to yourself, encourage yourself and reassure

yourself.

For example, if you're trying to shed a few pounds, and there's cake at the office

- you can remind yourself how close you are to your target weight, and eating that cake

would only set you back.

Self-talk has the ability to remind you of your goals, call up courage, reinforce your

commitment and keep you conscious of what you're trying to achieve.

Number 11 - Engage In Sports

Playing sports is an excellent way to improve self-discipline.

It trains you to set goals, focus your mental and emotional energies, become physically

fit, and to get along well with others.

Participating in sports, provides a situation where you learn to work hard and strive to

do your best - which in turn, teaches you to integrate the same thought process and

discipline into your everyday life.

Number 12 - Track Your Progress

Tracking your progress is an effective way to remain focused, motivated, and disciplined.

It enables you to see how you're progressing, and where you can improve.

In a journal, keep track of the things that are working and the things that are not.

Check your journal entries periodically, and make adjustments that benefit your progress.

Number 13 - Look For Inspiration

When facing adversity, inspiration becomes paramount in keeping self-discipline alive.

Gather inspiration from people, books, quotes, movies, and current events that support and

validate your progress.

Try to find someone who has successfully achieved a goal that you want to achieve.

You will probably learn a lot of things from this person - and it will help you along your

journey.

Look into what specific behaviors empowered them, and what challenges they faced - and

how they overcame them.

Learn about other people's success stories, and you'll be more likely to follow your

own goals with courage and determination.

Number 14 - Reward Yourself

Give yourself something to be excited about, by planning a reward for accomplishing a goal.

Just like when you were a little kid and got a treat for good behavior, having something

to look forward to, gives you the motivation to succeed.

Anticipation is powerful!

It gives you something to obsess over and focus on, so you don't just get stuck thinking

about what you're trying to change.

And once you achieve your goal, find a new goal and a new reward to keep yourself moving

forward.

Number 15 - Don't Beat Yourself Up When You Fail

Even with the best intentions and well-laid plans, we sometimes fall short.

It happens.

You will have ups and downs, great successes and dismal failures.

The key is to keep moving forward.

If you stumble, acknowledge what caused it and move on.

Don't let yourself get wrapped up in guilt, anger or frustration, because these emotions

will only drag you further down and impede future progress.

Learn from your mistakes and forgive yourself.

Then get your head back in the game, and refocus on your goals.

Number 16 - Find A Partner With Similar Goals

To gain self-discipline, it's always good to surround yourself with an encouraging environment.

Having a partner with similar goals can be beneficial - as you can be accountable to

each other.

You can motivate one another, and provide encouragement when one of you is struggling.

Developing self-discipline is one of the key elements to creating a better life - and with

regular practice, you can greatly improve your self control.

Additionally, gaining self-discipline in just one area of your life can lead to increased

willpower in other areas of your life as well.

Want do you think?

In what areas are you most self-disciplined?

And what areas do you feel like you need to improve?

Self Mapping Using The PAUL Method - Duration: 12:10.

welcome to corporals corner today we're going to discuss self mapping using the

pawl method so stick around

a few months ago we filmed a three-part series on land navigation where we took

it from beginning compass reading brought in some maps and they finally

finished off walking in an actual land navigation course so I thought today why

not elaborate on those skills and talk about

self mapping or finding yourself using the pawl method

now what is Paul Paul stands for A+ asmath uniform layout it is simply one

of many control measures that you can put in place to help you figure a

straight line azimuth and distance back to your camp without having to stop and

backtrack by shooting reverse Asmus to every single previous point

Before we jump into the Paul method you're gonna want to grab a few items

first you're gonna want a good compass this is a Suunto mc2 baseplate compass

along with Ranger beads or pacing beads next you're going to grab two mechanical

pencils and a good notebook both of these are made by right in the

rain next you're gonna want some cordage without the paracord

or bank line now all these items I've just shown you are available on my

amazon influencer page

you

and last but not least you need a good understand that basic compass use along

with how to perform a pace count so if you don't understand those concepts what

I'll do is I'll go ahead I'll throw up a YouTube card click on that icon it will

take you to my compass playlist check out those videos then come back here and

give it a shot now if you already understand those concepts let's go ahead

and get to it

okay so how does this work in order for this to be successful you have to have a

solid route that contains admits to specific locations along with accurate

pace counts to those locations so let's go ahead and set up a fictitious

scenario we were out scouting for the day

looking for resources let's go ahead and say that this stake right here with a

tape on it represents our base camp or our vehicle we'll drive that in the

ground right there and that would be our starting point

let's go ahead and say that we walked on a bearing or azimuth of 200 degrees for

200 meters to our first point we're off Scout in the area place my compass on

there rotate it until that needle is in the dog house or the Reds in the shed

there's 200 meters let's go ahead and say the length of this notebook

represents 200 meters take my next stake

drive that bad boy in right there

take your cordage pull it tight wrap it around do it once or twice

now let's come back and double-check

200 agree it's good to go now let's say from here we turned and we walked on a

Berrien or asmath you rotate that muscle ring of 240 degrees and we walked it

again for no at 200 meters

we're then going to go ahead and walk

let's go with 300 degrees for 200 meters

and now at this point we notice with some watered down here we're not gonna

head

thirty degrees let's say for a hundred meters so if that length is two hundred

half is 100

we got our water now from here we want to go ahead and turn let's say to

let's go with 320 degrees

for another 200 meters

now you can see the route that you just walked is unfolding right here in front

of you at this point right here we're done we're getting tired we want to head

back to our base camp like I mentioned before the beauty of the pawl method it

allows you to figure a straight line asmath along with distance back to your

camp without having to backtrack by reverse azimuth to every single one of

these previous points so from here all we're gonna do I'm gonna wrap my base

camp make sure it's tight the tighter you can get this the more accurate is

going to be wrap to the outside

now take my compass lay it next to that line with that needle on doghouse or the

red in the shed

and according to this I can walk Ebury nor azmuth of 100 degrees for

approximately 2 4 500 meters and this same method actually works between

points as well let's say a point number 4 so 1 2 3 4 I realized oh I don't have

my glasses but I do remember having them at point number 1 oh hell no I guarantee

we're going back with the shades all you gotta do is wrap point number 4 in the

direction straight line distance to point number 1

wrap it around pull it tight

put the compass base next to that string or that cordage rotate that bezel ring

looking at approximately 110 degrees for about 375 meters back to point number

one and I can retreat my glasses welcome back the Paul method of self mapping is

outstanding just remember you have to record your route as you walk it keeping

accurate pace counts and Asmus let's talk about these stakes this was a six

foot fiberglass adalah from Home Depot all idea was cutting down to one foot

pieces and sharpen them but truth be told you can walk around pick up sticks

off the ground sharpen them drive them in and you'll achieve the same goal I'd

do me a favor hit that like and subscribe button ring that notification

bell and as always thank you for your comments to use in support thanks for

watching get out in the field have some fun I'm gonna catch you next time

SELF FLYING DRONE - It's finally here and it's CHEAP! - Duration: 9:33.

Ladies and gentlemen what do we have today

it is a hella far H 803 and why is this different to every other drone twenty

thirty dollar drone out there on the market what makes this any different at

all well this drone apparently has sensors yes apparently it has sensors on

it so even a child like myself can fly it

that's why I'm doing this review today on this seemingly simple drone... will it live up

to expectations? I've got my six-year-old son here with us to check it out so...

Let's just take a quick look at it first before we charge it up and give it to

him... That's actually quite nice being see it on the camera but that's very nice

... it looks different to what I expected.

Okay, so two batteries as already one installed so this was about yeah

twenty dollars American, thirty dollars Australian with something like that one

of the other cheap cheap small drones but this one has a difference

We can already see right there... that is some kind of...

Sensor, it's some kind of sensor. I mean it just looks like a LED light oh...

and on the bottom here look at this... They finally put in this kind of

technology into these small drones.. oh my gosh, it really does have sensors everywhere.

Look at that every side. Wow, look I say that is really nice, nice

paint finish on the front that's... that's spiffy-looking gonna raise it a bit

different to what I expect as well it's covered in they're covering it in the

shrink wrap or something now they didn't used to do that, interesting so

yeah quite quite a different from the usual whoop style design it's got a load

of extra sensors on here and quite a different looking top very interesting

let's see if we can actually put it back in now all right well it hasn't been

charged up hands okay yep so...

"interactive seneing" switch maybe that means interactive sensing...

Flips and rolls flips and rolls old I am that's then we've got some kind of laser

beam I assume, high low switch, yep then we've got charger, spare set of

the blades and a remover as you'd expect. Alright so that is interesting that I

was expecting maybe some pithy little sensor on the bottom but to have them all

so it's and the bottom that's a bit of a surprise a good surprise this might

actually work... okay we're gonna charge it up and then

give it a go

Okay so the instructions aren't very clear so I'll show you how to actually

launch this thing and get it calibrated so the first thing you do is before you

even switch your controller on is plug in the drone now that's against pretty

much everything a professional/hobbiest drone pilot will teach you - never plug in your drone

first... then it'll fly away and you've got no control but in the case of this

you switch it on first then you switch on your controller now kind of calibrate

Then you put the stick up the top and then down to the bottom you know it

should be I think it's not beeping because I've already calibrated it but

that's that's the instruction basically so now we can pick it up and throw it

and all go into sensor flying mode or we can fly it manually now you will notice

that this is in the middle right the throttle is already halfway up so

they're kind of it's computerized throttle it kind of controls itself

slightly which is putting away from kids William that's right

what it does to well though is the computers in between you and the drone

the throttle for example is not direct is to fly this way by this way yeah

fly forward forward yeah okay

oh no land good work

I believe we can just .... yep... it should be in sensor mode, so its too close

to something

... it goes it's own way.

That's definitely in sensor mode, um I know I'm not like flying this obviously...

Underneath. .those sensors seem to work pretty well

and certainly get it so stuck and it doesn't seem to turn itself off soon

enough.. you know maybe that's because I'm flying in at tiny room..

Still, that aside, this is wholesome technology... these things really only came out about...

out about... five... years ago.

and already we put on both sensors

One thing that it seems unfortunate that it doesn't turn those sensors on when

you're flying it manually... which I would have thought would be the point, so that

you can help children fly, help them not crash into the walls and things... It seems

to disable itself. And I wonder if it's because they know that it can get a bit

crazy it gets stuck somewhere so it's better just to turn the sensors off when

you're flying manually... That's a little bit disappointing, would it be nice if my

son could fly this manual with sensor mode on, and it would protect him from

crashing intothe walls and things... seems like that's not

this device.

The technology is not quite there yet but it's so so close...

The hardware I'd say is there..

It's the software... this is maybe the first generation of this kind of thing, now

I expect the next one to come out taking better at it.... Well, thank you for watching!

What Causes Self Sabotaging Behavior - Duration: 12:00.

Okay I want to talk to you today about what causes self sabotaging behavior and

I've got some ideas that I bet you haven't considered before. How is it we

can do some amazing and sometimes unexplainable things like heal our own

bodies by the power of our thought mother's intuition the law of attraction

can we really tap into our subconscious mind can we really create our own

realities it begs the question are we novice gods okay we are talking about

what causes self sabotaging behavior and I want to run through some ideas with

you that you may not have considered before they're new to me and let's try

these out okay so first of all let's talk about let me share just a couple of

stories with you I did some research on people who have won the lottery okay

so and you want to win the lottery right I mean would you love to earn their to

suddenly win a million dollars or ten million dollars or thirty or you know

whatever the Powerball is these days and that seems like such a great thing and

anyway it turns out that so often it's a horrible thing for people because they

self-sabotage and they will start out winning a whole bunch of money and they

will end up just right back where they were or worse so let me share with you

just a couple of stories and you can co2 the internet and it's easy to find more

stories about people who totally self-sabotage they self-destructed their

lives fell apart when they won a whole lot of money so the first one that I

will tell you about is his name was Michael Carroll and he was a garbage man

and at age 19 he won nine point seven million pounds this is in in Britain

that he did this so you know that's like fourteen point four million dollars

that's a pretty good amount right you could hold on to fourteen point four

million dollars for a while right well not not him within ten years he was

completely broke and he ended up working as a working in a slaughterhouse for 511

dollars a week absolutely broke goes back to working in a slaughterhouse well

how did that happen how did he go from fourteen point four million dollars to

absolute destitute circumstances he's not alone let me tell you about Billy

Bob Harrell he was from Texas he worked at Home Depot and in 1997 he won 31

million dollars that's like twice what Michael made 31 million dollars how long

does it take you to blow through 31 million dollars well it turns out it

took him only two years to blow through that and not only did he blow through

all that he blew through his own life and became so depressed he ended up

taking his life so what is it that causes that to happen how can they

suddenly have such an influx of cash and then go right back to where they were

the secret is in our set point so this is a super interesting concept that I've

heard from a few people and I think it's true but what it is is we have a set

point in our life now if you can see on the wall here I have one of those fun

nest thermostats and I can turn it up and and it'll turn on the heat and what

it is is whenever the the temperature drops below this it'll turn on the heat

and and increase the temperature in the room up to where I set it so if I have

it set at 70 then it's gonna it's gonna warm up the house using the heater up to

70 well if I had my air conditioner set up as well when I turn it down it will

actually turn on the air conditioner so that it will cool the house down to

whatever that setpoint is if if it gets too much you know too too warm in the

house anyway I think that's what is happening in our own lives we have this

internal set point that we believe that we're only worth a certain amount and so

for these lottery winners they believed they were only worth men

wage that they were only worth living a life where they worked paycheck to

paycheck and that when they won a whole bunch of money it's like they did what

they could subconsciously of course to get rid of

all that money so they could get back to where they felt most comfortable which

is at this low setpoint isn't that kind of crazy but I think that's what happens

with us when we start self-sabotaging is we have amazing things happen in our

lives but we have to self-sabotage in order to get back to kind of this

standard of worthiness or worth in our lives where we feel like worldly we only

have this much value so anyway I bet you haven't ever considered that before it's

kind of an interesting thought isn't it so if we look at some of the things that

we do to self-sabotage you know holding on to self-defeating mindsets failing to

take action could be something that we do you know if we were to list out you

know a whole bunch of self sabotaging behaviors failing to take action would

definitely be one of them you know how often we have this great idea that we

should do and we don't we don't follow through on it maybe overeating is on

your list maybe you know forced incompetence where you don't allow

yourself to learn the things that you know that you should learn numbing is

something that comes up over and over and over again with self-defeating

behaviors this is where you drink alcohol too much you are get involved in

drugs or shopping or or you know playing on the internet or porn or you know

watching TV too much anything that you do to numb yourself so that you don't

feel those pains of discomfort of you know I don't feel quite right right now

numbing is this huge thing that we do to hide from ourselves and and of course

perfectionism is another self sabotaging behavior you

know one of the behaviors that comes up over and over again that holds us back

from living the life that we could really do now I want to talk kind of

about three main causes to to self-sabotaging

so and first well okay so three main causes that that really bring about our

self sabotaging behavior the first thing is discouragement I think the biggest

challenge we have in life is to stay encouraged you know discouragement just

wrecks us it's not depression so much in our lives that ruins us it's not having

a sense of purpose and feeling worthless and that discouragement feeling that you

can't do something that you're not worthwhile those kinds of things just

absolutely wrecks our self-confidence and and does start us into self

sabotaging behavior so what you want to do is you want to be able to increase

your worth your value you want to see yourself as somebody who is worthwhile

so the the second one that I was going to talk about is low self esteem having

you know this low perception about yourself this identity that you've

created we do we're creators that you created about yourself where you don't

feel worthwhile you don't feel worthy you don't feel good enough that low

self-esteem is going to self-sabotage you all the time you need to be able to

change the thermostat up need to be able to turn that up and get rid of these

feelings of low self-esteem and then the third thing is of course not having a

clear purpose if you're going through life and you're not you don't feel like

you have purpose you don't have meaning you don't have you know a reason that

you're here you don't have a mission a Colleen you don't have a contribution to

make that is going to totally wreck your self-confidence your belief about

yourself your identity you're going to be discouraged and you're gonna exhibit

a lot of self sabotaging behavior okay so that gives you kind of an

understanding of the elements that go into self sabotaging behavior and why

you keep getting in the same rut over and over and over again by the way I'm

doing the same thing right now I am in the same rut and I'm working to get over

it but it's so much of it comes from

identifying current beliefs where we're at and then

changing some things so that just like on that nest thermostat so that when we

turn it up we're turning it up ourselves and each incremental degree that we go

up we believe were worthy we believe we're worth this we believe this is true

to us and so we can set whatever temperature

we want we can have lots of money we can have abundance we can have friends so

many people self-sabotage relationships where they get in the same relationship

over and over and over again abusive relationships with men that are unkind

so often this happens and why is that why do we get into these repeated cycles

I think it's because our setpoint is set too low and the low self-esteem the

discouragement the no clear purpose in our lives is what's keeping us down so

the way to get out of it I believe and I'm working on it and this whole

documentary series is documenting the challenge and the the journey really of

turning that thermostat up to a temperature that I've chosen that you've

chosen that we all want to get to that is a more abundant more fulfilling life

one with great relationships one with abundant money one with opportunities to

travel opportunities to serve opportunities to make a contribution I

believe that we have that ability to turn up our thermostats and if we don't

turn it up manually by ourselves intentionally deliberately then no

matter what happens in your life that's fortunate whether you're winning the

lottery whether you just married a wonderful woman it's gonna go back to

where it was because you have these setpoint beliefs about yourself that are

not serving you so what I hope you do is I hope you stick with me through this

documentary series I hope you learn what I learn I hope you start applying some

of these beliefs so that you can be more of your true best full self that you can

turn up that temperature that you can be who you want to be by choice

liberally intentionally and enjoy the abundance that God has in store for you

what do you think you've heard my thoughts now let's hear yours in the

comment section below share what impressions came to your mind what did

you get out of this if you have had thoughts to take action please do so
