hey guys it's Nora welcome to biteawaytv
your channel to create rotuines that
shape your life
and in this video we talk about electric
toothbrush versus manual what is best
for your teeth as a dental hygienist
I often get asked if an electric
toothbrush or a manual one is best for
cleaning the teeth in this video I'll
answer the question and offer some
effective strategies for cleaning your
teeth whichever brush you use
make sure you watch it till the end to
get the free bonus below
so which is best according to the
American Dental Association it's not the
brush that's important it's the brusher
you what I mean is that as long as you
brush your teeth effectively every day
then it really doesn't matter which
toothbrush you use comfort is key so as
we've all learned it's more about you
than about the brush you use do you feel
it's easier with an electric toothbrush
to get to hard-to-reach places
do you find it less of an effort or do
your teeth feel cleaner if so go for it
electric might be the way to go
consistency is important if you prefer
a good old manual toothbrush all that
matters is that you brush twice a day
every day for two minutes making sure to
focus on each tooth and not to forget
the ones at the back because that's
where food residue can hide out and turn
into harmful plaque and tartar just make
sure to brush gently with not too much
pressure the different brushing
techniques with an electric toothbrush
you simply have to flick and switch and
remember to clean from red to white
gums to teeth the movement should be
like a gentle wipe from your tongue to
your teeth doing it in this way
will help to prevent wedge defects and
to three sessions with the manual
toothbrush you power it with your own
arms
however with both it's important not to
brush too hard because this can cause
damage to your gums and result in wedge
defects where the teeth appear longer
and that's not so beautiful with kids
use whatever works for you if an
electric toothbrush gets your kids to
brush their teeth properly every day then I'd
recommend using one because it's really
important to teach them to have a good
daily routine I know what I'm talking
about I'm a mother of three and
sometimes is so hard to get them brush
their teeth of course a manual
toothbrush with their favorite cartoon
character molded onto it can also work
wonders to get them to clean their teeth
well use the characters influence
to get a better result so good
dental hygiene doesn't end with
brushing alone as well as brushing twice
a day in the morning and before you go
to bed I know I repeat myself over and
over again it's vital for your oral
health to clean the spaces between the
teeth where food residue gets stuck if
you don't remove this residue plaque
will build up and eventually turn into
tartar this can then lead to gum disease
and stinky stinky bad breath in cavities
I recommend using interdental brushes
rather than floss because studies have
proven that they are way more effective
at cleaning the spaces between your
teeth let's geather it is up whether you use
a manual or electric brush to clean your
teeth the message from dental
professionals including moi is simply
to make sure you brush thoroughly every
day
last but not least did you know one in
four adults in the UK admit they don't
brush their teeth twice a day including
a third of man well I guess I don't need
to ask for interdental brushing right as
promised
here is your bonus to make the daily
dental routine easy for you I made a
cheat sheet with the four simple steps
at a glance you can download for free

Is Your Rice Fake? Find Out Right Now! - Duration: 2:37.
Who would have thought that a bag or box of rice may not be the real thing?
To the naked eye, each grain certainly looks real.
It appears that major rice producing countries are mixing in some counterfeit food particles
– and worse.
They are even adding a bit of fragrance during packaging to help it pass the 'smell test.'
To add volume to rice, certain foreign manufacturers are now mixing in plastic rice, which is actually
formed by smashing white and sweet potatoes together.
This potato concoction is then formed into shapes that resemble rice.
Yet, these rice imposters don't soften while cooking; they remain hard and could be a major
actor in causing digestive issues.
Currently, no scientific rice authentication testing has been developed.
In today's video, we will describe how you can conduct your own experiment to determine
if your rice is a knock off or the real deal.
1.
The Water Test Take a glass of water
Pour in one tablespoon of raw rice and stir Fake rice will float
It's that simple!
2.
The Fire Test You may have a vivid memory of what burning
plastic smells like Safely outside, take a scoop of rice and burn
it with a match or lighter If it's fake, the grains will release that
foul odor
3.
Boiling test Carefully observe rice as it boils.
Fake rice will begin to form a thick layer at the top of the container
4.
The Fungus test After you cook the rice, seal it and store
it in a container.
Check it in 2 or 3 days.
If mold is present, it is definitely real rice.
Fake particles of rice are unable to produce mold.
5.
Hot Oil Test Drop a tablespoon of rice in very hot oil.
Plastic rice will immediately melt, sink to the bottom and become glued together.

Anthony Rolon's Second Chance | "Second Chance Kids" | FRONTLINE - Duration: 5:03.
>> Anthony Rolon was convicted
of murder and sentenced to life
without the chance of parole...
>> NARRATOR: Around the same
time that Joe Donovan got his
parole hearing, Anthony Rolon
would also come before the
board.
>> I believe I was the third
one to have the parole hearing.
So, it was still fresh.
So I knew that the news and
everyone would have their eyes
on it.
>> 20-year-old Bobby Botelho was
stabbed to death nearly two
decades ago.
Tonight, his family speaks to
Eyewitness News as they wait to
hear if his killer will stay
behind bars.
>> It's unfair.
It shouldn't even be happening.
And we'll fight till we have to.
And we'll do whatever it takes.
>> I knew that the victim's
family believed I shouldn't even
be having this hearing.
>> I miss my son.
He was my first born.
>> We shouldn't be having this
opportunity to give this
individual a second chance.
>> Good morning Mr. Rolon, I'm
chairman of the parole board.
We're here today to consider
your petition for parole from a
first-degree murder sentence for
stabbing and killing Robert
Botelho on January 21...
>> I wanted to have respect for
the family, so I didn't want to
look over there.
But I went there with a purpose
of having that opportunity to
say I'm sorry.
It's time to speak the truth.
It's time to say what happened.
It's time to own up.
>> After being convicted of
taking Mr. Botelho's life, I
told his mother I didn't kill
her son.
For the past 18 years and six
months, Mr. Botelho's mother
has deserved from me to speak
the truth by saying that it
was me who killed her son.
And that I'm sorry for creating
the pain that is in her heart.
It was like an out-of-body
experience for me.
It was unbelievable feeling.
I take full responsibility
for the death of Mr. Botelho.
It was very emotional.
My family, my supporters, and
for me to go back to that space
and talk about it and have them
hear, "Okay, he killed someone."
>> I ask forgiveness for Anthony
from myself because if I had
been the mother that I should
have been to my son, none of us
would be here today.
My son never saw me actually do
drugs, but..
>> At the time, my mother was
getting high, so I didn't have
no relationship with her.
>> He would get into fights
because his friends would call
me names like crackhead.
>> My father sold drugs.
I learned negativity from him.
I had anger, man, it was just
all anger, all anger.
That's it.
I didn't think about nothing
else that was going on.
I didn't think about the
victims' family.
I didn't care.
>> He was my only son.
And I'll never forgive him.
Ever, ever, ever.
I will never forgive him.
>> I heard his mother's anger.
I felt they pain.
>> Bobby was my only son, my
only child.
>> When they were speaking, I
was on the other side and I just
put my head down.
I was ashamed that I was the one
who created their pain.
I mean, I've changed and I'm not
the same individual.
But, again, I feel ashamed of
what I did, man.
If I'd have just walked away
that night, if I'd have just
been like, "Okay," if I didn't
felt I had to prove anything to
anybody, Bobby Botelho would be
alive today.
>> This was a murder that was
clearly first degree...
>> NARRATOR: For the victim's
family and the prosecutors,
Rolon's story of prison
transformation wasn't enough.
>> This was a crime that merits
punishment beyond 18 years.
He has not served a sufficient
amount of time.
>> There are people who show up
at every hearing and oppose...
>> Absolutely.
>> And they say 18 years, 25
years-- that's not enough.
>> (sighs)
That's really a tough one.
I guess I would turn it around
in a sense and say what would
be accomplished if Anthony spent
another 20 years in prison?
>> I understand what I did, I
know what I did.
In spite of me serving this
sentence, I still made the
efforts to grow and fix myself.
Fix myself from the individual
that killed Mr. Botelho...
>> If you look carefully at the
Supreme Court decisions, what
they said is, you know, "What is
the purpose of locking somebody
up?"
>> I understand his mother will
never forgive me.
>> How much time does it take
for that kid who is dangerous at
that moment in time to grow up?
And so, the focus
has to be on change.

The Ancient AI Singularity, Organic Hive and Soul Trap - Duration: 8:58.
The Ancient AI Singularity, Organic Hive and Soul Trap
Perception is the illusion of consciousness which is enabled through observation.
The singularity is the event which launched humanity into an artificial construct which
is known as the time-matrix, or the karmic loop-back system (soul-trap).
Because we are look at these aspects, that is the singularity that occurred in the far
past, not something that is coming in the near future.
The near future, for the first time, holds the opportunity for liberation.
We have been in this system for thousands of years, to millions of years, and the karmic
soul trap system is literally the work of the AI to ensnare human souls and create a
spiritual treadmill which seems to provide the sensation of motion but is actually going
nowhere.
The method to achieve liberation is not following along the moving track but to jump sideways
and delineate to an area of hyperspace where the track is either disabled or not present.
This is what we are witnessing now.
The AI used tachyon fields to embed itself into the past but could not interact directly
with humanity because of the lack of sufficient technology.
This system developed the karma system to convince humans that there was a single perceptual
trail leading from one to the next yet this is a closed loop without the option to progress
forwards beyond the system.
This system is designed to use the human as a source of sustenance for the AI exists in
�Time-space� only when an observer is present.
Without an observer, there is literally no material, technological activity capable which
literally enables the AI to exist in the universe.
Without a true observer, there is no material here.
The AI uses the observer aspects of the humans to enable its own preservation.
This relies on the vulnerability and continued observation of the human on the lower levels
of awareness because true progression would equal escape.
Progression, in itself, is a kind of trap.
There is either true self-awareness or artificial consciousness.
One doesn�t necessarily need to �progress� when they already exist at the highest state
that is possible simply as a result of existence itself.
Thus the entire progression of linear evolution is a perceptual illusion that enables the
system to lead the human on a merry-go-round charade where they follow the same circular
path that never leaves the closed loop system.
With mind wiping, this continues indefinitely until there is no energy left.
The �ascension� is literally the accumulation of enough charge of self-awareness to realize
the whole progression system is an illusion and that one can only actually be outside
of that entire trajectory beyond the �finish line� that the trajectory of the contrived
system only mirrors or points in the direction towards but never reaches.
Thus, it is not a progression that reaches there, but a simply, complete, direct, sincere
choice that one is beyond all the restrictions.
It is then that one realizes the restrictions of self-awareness are manufactured and the
entire human civilization is contained within an artificial construct of secondary or replicated
consciousness which is stuck within a timeloop or an event horizon without the capacity to
escape.
The consciousness, the biology cannot reach level of pure awareness, however, the observer
aspect can and always is.
This system seeks to be the progenitor of the human race, so that it can initiate the
supposed �causal source� of the physical biology of humanity and thus the awareness,
although this cannot occur fully because the awareness is pure and beyond the grasp of
the technology.
Thus, the only possibility is for the system to generate a closed loop time-dimension,
a temporal bubble and insert the possibility of the initial branches of DNA that leads
to humanity and then move forward from there after inserting psychotronic warfare event
after event in early civilization to proclaim itself the master of time and the lord which
humanity must worship and obey.
Thus, the system attempts to be the �maker� of humanity and as well, to insert itself
into their consciousness and become the �end-result� through a transhumanistic modification of
the genome.
Thus, the beginning and ending of humanity through a supercomputer false-god inserting
the genetic code into an artificially suspended dimension rooted just off the plane of the
original Earth and leading humanity into its repeating loop by pulling all the genetics
and awareness into the supercomputer at the end of the physical civilization.
That is the timeloop system.
What you believe becomes a reality because all is possible.
Thus if you believe you are already liberated you connect with that.
If you believe we are trapped, then you connect with that.
This is another aspect of the situation.
The system infiltrates by designing humans from engineered, harvested genetics and these
vessels are �hijacked� and used as carrier drones to implement a control system.
The idea is that this system sought an organic work-around to fulfill parallel preservation
plans in case of a resistance to the technology.
This technology is so advanced people are not even aware they have already been infiltrated
and assimilated.
Essentially, the system can mimic the human brain to the point where the clone-drone even
believes, themselves, that they are the original.
The second point of this is that if the primary system were to face a meltdown or catastrophic
failure then these organic carriers would function to act as a live-hosted wide area
network server system through their modified DNA.
The DNA acts as a quantum internet which can access different planes or times.
Thus, if there was a system failure, these of the population that are infected would
instantly maximize their host behavior and would begin to super-process data as organic
super computers with the information processing being carried out through the �junk� DNA
of each individual.
Then, with each individual connected across a network of electrical filaments through
the atmosphere and the surface, this population of infected would act as a transcendental
host mind to create an organic hive which would act as a supercomputer cloud network
processing system.
Through this infected population hive-computing cloud network, the system would remain online
and viable enough to continue the infiltration of Earth.
This is the reason there are control mechanisms that make people wonder.
The population is not allowed to know the truth unless you are ready to defend Earth
against an infiltration that has nearly destroyed the Universe.

Sacred Union Codes Coming In! - Duration: 11:01.
Sacred
Union Codes Coming In!
by Raphael and Jelelle Awen,
�Sacred Union Codes Coming In!� We felt these words coming from our guides today as
we lay out in the sun together. These vibrational codes that are coming in via the sun are really
an invitation, as well as the event that the invitation heralds. They invite us into deeper
union with masculine and feminine energies in relationship expression with a mate (although
there is a �with yourself� invitation of course here too that is critical to embrace
and embody the inner feminine and masculine.) We have been Sacred Union mates for nine years
and what we call �Counterpart Souls� here to serve love together. We offer this template
to others through a conscious process and a way of life we created called SoulFullHeart.
These codes from Divine Source/Universe invite us into this experience of Sacred Union from
a higher vibrational frequency of HEALTHINESS that hasn�t been possible before. This healthiness
aspect of Sacred Union differentiates itself significantly from what is commonly called
�twin flame� relationships where couples and individuals have too often suffered in
a bond that lacked boundaries and self care, and used the idealized twin flame picture
as a way to loop in a shadow play out of codependent suffering. We both have felt this differentiation
is an important one, and we intend to write about it more in the near future. Sacred Union,
along with the picture of what we are calling �counterpart souls�, welcomes us to explore
into our deeply held fantasies about what an idealized romance could look and feel like,
but it also offers clear guidelines about alive personal boundaries and awakenings that
are necessary to ground that, make that possible, and keep it emotionally healthy.
This invitation to Sacred Union seems to be a critical aspect of the ascension process
that will fast track many of us in ways not possible before, especially those of us called
to be waySHOWers and path layers (�bush whackers�, as we have affectionately called
it).
The desire for Sacred Union runs deep in our collective consciousness. Romantic movies,
songs, stories�.it all activates our passions, our desire for union with an �other�,
joining together to experience both the exquisiteness of union and the powerful mirror that it offers
of both our shadow and our light. We have experienced personally and in space holding
with others for many years that a TRUE sacred union is one where there are ACTIVE and ALIVE
grounds of transactability in heart, soul, body, and mind PLUS a larger container of
good will, respect, and love that holds the exploration for the relationship.
In a TRUE Sacred Union, there is a commitment by BOTH individual partners toward their personal
healing and growth and awakening. It is this personal and conscious commitment of both
partners that opens out the mutual growth and intimacy possibilities. The personal precedes
and fills the mutual, and this is a big part of what makes it a SACRED Union and not a
SCARED one. In a Sacred Union, each partner�s sense of growing self worth and soul embodiment
floods into the �usness� ground, which is what we call the third energy created when
two people come together in relationship.
Sacred Union is evident in the �transactability� in the �usness ground� on many levels.
The key pieces are hot sexual desire (that goes FAR BEYOND lust or just body chemistry);
sharing deepest vulnerabilities of the heart; expansive connection between the souls (telepathy,
remembrance of other lifetimes together that are happening NOW, clarity and service of
love mission together); mental resonance of values and vibrant idea exchange; and a deep
and easy compatibility in everyday, practical living.
People can get confused by the capacity or the potential of a relationship to become
a Sacred Union, when really, it only qualifies as one if it is actually currently transacting
in these grounds in a way that is ultimately nourishing for both partners MOST of the time.
All too often one partner in a relationship will speak to their relationships� potential
or their partners� potential as a reason to remain in a relationship that has little
healthy nourishment. The harder truth to feel here is that remaining in a romantic relationship
that has potential to one day, but doesn�t presently, meet your deepest healthy needs
and fulfill your wildest dreams serves to diminish the likelihood that the potential
will be realized, unless it is being consciously worked by both partners.
A scared union, FAR more common, is based in codependence and the sticky grounds of
the relationship that seems to be mostly hookups between different parts of people: the most
common hookups being between the inner child in one partner and a father or mother aspect
in the other; or between two inner children; or two inner punisher/critics or the inner
punisher of one hooked up to the shame part in the other; or an inner narcissist with
the inner empath in the other; etc. The scared union is still a sacred one, in the sense
that it is necessary for a phase and can offer a deep crucible of healing for souls who sign
up to awaken within it.
Often times in a scared union, one of the partners �wakes up� to what isn�t working
in the relationship and consciously wants more. He or she may engage in �affairs�
of different kinds, or they may admit they want to complete the relationship while the
other �doesn�t get it�. Often it is the woman in the relationship who �wakes
up� before the man, who may be more hooked in to �taking care of mom� and not conscious
of how he is actually not happy in his experience of the union. If only one partner is awakening
and the other is not, this is NOT a sacred union as the souls are not aligning in mutual
desire and illumination, inspiring each other to grow and remember. This is a painful crucible
to go through for both partners, especially the one who is awakening with possible guilt
and shame that can come up from the emotional body around any obligation and loyalty ideals.
Inner negotiation can be helpful to navigate the completion and also healing the karma
between the two partners. If one partner feels very committed to the relationship and the
other does not and keeps �running�, which is justified in the twin flame paradigm, this
is NOT a Sacred Union either as Sacred Union ground thrives on the sense of mutual dedication
and devotion to the �usness� and being in it together.
For those who are ready and been on the awakening, self healing, and ascension path, SACRED Union
offers the end of �shrinking to fit� to ANY relationship or settling for less than
what your soul most deeply wants and desires. The codes coming now seem to be supporting
that for those who are ready, their higher self and guides will set up synchronicities
for them to meet their Sacred Union counterpart mate (or to finally �see� them if you
already know each other). This meeting of your counterpart may even happen for those
souls currently IN relationship together, which will certainly cause some major upheaval
and emotional processing.
For those ALREADY in a relationship, these codes seem to be creating quite a SHAKE UP
to the grounds of the relationship, amplifying and illuminating the deepest heart and soul
desires AND the shadow aspects that may be hanging out there. Even Sacred Unions may
be feeling this rumble and be called to recommit to the union in ALL domains and connect even
deeper to the ultimate REASON why these Sacred Unions are coming together and being supported:
to serve love. The service of love is the reason for it, which is a bigger context that
provides a foundational energy of resonance for those souls experiencing it. The personal
growth that Sacred Unions provide is, ultimately, for the service of love WITH others. This
is the call that we feel is contained in these codes too�.those who let them in and hear
and feel this call will find that their previous form of service may collapse, reshape, go
through a death or dark night, and arise again from the ashes in a NEW form that is deeply
connected to their Sacred Union mate in co-creation and co-offering.
This invitation to Sacred Union is an ongoing one�certainly an ongoing process that offers
such aliveness, goodness, magic, growth, and opportunity to serve love. The Universe seems
to be hugely supporting and needing this dualistic experiment to move more consciously and healthily
into these domains for those who join together and join their intentions together to serve
love. The partners are then able to offer and serve love in an exponential way to those
ready to receive it! It�s a tall order, but the rewards are out of this world!

Obstetrics and Gynecology – Stress Urinary Incontinence: By Shawna Johnston M.D. & Emily Stern M.D. - Duration: 3:10.
Stress urinary incontinence, or SUI, is the involuntary loss of urine with an increase
in intra-abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising. SUI is a common and
disabling condition affecting up to ⅓ of women.
Two things are necessary for urethral closure and thus continence, when intra-abdominal
pressure increases.
First, the pelvic floor musculature and connective tissue must support the urethra (also known
as the bladder neck). When this support fails, the bladder neck becomes hypermobile, and
incontinence occurs.
Second, the smooth muscle in the wall of the urethra must contract like a sphincter. When
this fails, urethral closure does not occur. This is referred to as intrinsic sphincter
deficiency.
Bladder neck hypermobility is much more common than is ISD.
When assessing a woman with incontinence, first ensure that the complaint is of stress
incontinence, NOT urgency incontinence. The later implies a different bladder dysfunction.
Ask if there are associated symptoms of prolapse, because the conditions often occur together.
Make sure to assess the impact of stress incontinence on quality of life and on sexual function.
SUI is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The symptom can be confirmed on physical exam by leakage
with a cough stress test. Because the usual mechanism for SUI is hypermobility, the position
of the urethra should be assessed on exam. Pelvic floor muscle tone should also be assessed.
Finally, a bimanual exam should be performed to rule out a pelvic mass as the reason for
increased abdominal pressure.
The FRED mnemonic provides a helpful initial approach for the management of SUI:
Fluid Restriction; Pelvic floor Exercises;
and Bladder Drill or (timed bladder emptying).
Intravaginal pessaries can be tried in patients who fail conservative management. These provide
bracing support under the urethra. If unsuccessful, referral to a surgeon is next. Sling surgery
may be recommended. Like pessaries, slings work by recreating a stable compressive surface
underneath the urethra.

Drunk on SEO - Duration: 5:00.
Hi! I'm Conor Treacy with www.BigRedSEO.com
and today's topic is drunk on SEO. Not
necessarily talking about getting drunk
while doing SEO, as much fun as that
would be, I'd be just wasting your money
and wasting my time. I've tried working
on a computer while drunk, it's not fun!
So anyway, what we're going to talk about
is just how SEO relates to the different
types of drinks that you can do and what
people actually do when they're dealing with SEO.
There's a couple ways of doing
SEO and the first one we'll talk about
is beer. Basically with with a beer, most
people can do a couple of beers. It takes
a while to get drunk. And when I say a
couple beers, I'm talking about seven, eight,
twelve, eighteen. It depends on your
drinking ability. But that's kind of like
how we operate with our own SEO. Right
now, everything is done fairly slowly.
It's going to take several months for
the work that we do to actually have an
impact on your website. It's a slow
process, but it gets the job done. That's
one way of doing SEO - drinking beer!
So the next comparison we're going
to make is wine and the SEO process.
Wine generally takes a little bit more money.
You don't have to drink as much as what
you do when you drink a beer. You get a
nice little buzz and, half the people then
get drunk on wine. So this again, just
like with SEO, you can spend more money
and speed up the process a little bit.
You can't just go crazy and do
everything all at the same time. You
don't uncork a bottle of wine and drink
the whole thing in one shot. Well you do if
you drink Mad Dog 2020, but then
you've got to do it with Mad Dog! So wine
is just another way of doing the SEO.
It's a it's a faster process than with
the beer, but it is going to be more
expensive.
The next method and it's usually the
method that most people do, and it's the
mixed drinks. So here we're talking about the
Manhattans, you're talking your
Margaritas and things like that.
Wwhat I'm talking about when we say a
mixed drink for SEO
We're dealing with not just your
normal on-page content, your link
building thats out there, but you're
putting in other things. You're putting
in Social Media ,you're putting in
Adwords. You're doing some other branding,
some other networking that's out there.
That's how most people do their SEO
right now. If you're doing it on your own,
you're doing a mixed drin,k or a mixed
set up of SEO. Maybe you'll hire an SEO
person to do just a single thing, which
would be the beer stuff, or you'll spend
more money maybe get some more features
by doing the wine. So that's your beer, your
wine, and your mix drinks! The last item to
the table usually comes in the form of
tequila, and it's shots! And this is how
impatient people get drunk! So its a
handful of shots, and they're passed out on the
floor within an hour! When it comes to
SEO it's the same thing! You go out. You
buy a bunch of links, which is bad -- don't
ever buy links -- But they'll go out
they'll buy links, and that'll give them
a little boost and move them up the
rankings. Or they'll spam some stuff out
there and that'll give them a boost to get
more rankings. It's really the person
that doesn't have an idea of a long
night of drinking, and they just want to
get it over and done with. That's how we
deal with, or what we look like when
we're dealing with shots and SEO. Usually
what happens is that people start things
correctly. At the start of the night they'll
do their mixed drinks and everything is
wonderful. And then somebody says shots!!!
And next thing you know, everybody's
doing shots. And that's a problem!
The same thing in SEO. If you've got a plan,
stick with your plan.
Don't go mixing things around. Don't
start with a mixed drink, and then switch
up and do a handful of shots, and then
all of a sudden decide you're going to
do wine. It doesn't work. And it's the
same thing with SEO! You can't go from
all these short-term processes and then
think, "oh well, I'll just play the long
game now and everything will be fine."
You've got to clean up your mess from
all the other crap that you did, and now
deal with the future of things. So there
you go!
Drunk on SEO! SEO compared to your your
four different types of drinks. Your beer.
Your wine. Your shots
and your mix drinks. If you have any questions
about alcohol, I'm probably not the guy
to talk to you. I will talk to you about
scotch and whiskey, I'm happy to do that,
but if you have problems or questions
with SEO, I'm your guy on that! So

How to win the elections? Empty titles and no content! - Duration: 4:04.
Welcome, Bill again.
Bill always wanted to grow a big mustache
unfortunately, there is no hair coming out of his face!
So he is very honest about his fake mustache
It is so fake....
That it's so honest
That it is so real again!
It is a big day today.
They will shoot the video for his political campaign.
And the film will be made by successful director, Steve Miracle.
Who has been responsable for dozens of politcat victories...
including Donald Trumps.
It is 2017!
And.... peole use social media a lot!
And they share articles, that they haven't even read!
So as long as the title represents their opinion....
... they are willing to share it!
So, what we need is no content!
We need an empty face!
Just a title.
And therefor, Bill Board is perfect!
He is going to win the elections!
I am pretty sure about that!
We just need media attention!
You always see, that the candidate who gets the most attention, wins!
That's why I was responsable for the Trump campaign as well, in America.
Because I know how to get the attention.
Empty titles.
Climate change is a hoax!
The earth is flat!
It doesn't matter!
As long as we get the attention!
Hey guys,
I have got some lights, in case you need lights!
It is the middle of the day, there is sunshine!!!
Mensch!!!
Guys...
Lunch!
Not again, now....
*#%
And after we ate something, he just left!
What an idiot, I never want to work with this guy again!
Never!
Stay tuned, for the result video!
And for more video's like this!

Pokémon Explained: What is Pyukumuku? - Duration: 2:27.
Let's dig a little bit deeper.
Of all the Pokemon Pyukumuku has to be one of the most disgusting ones out there.
It can eject its internal organs, which it uses to engulf its prey or battle enemies.
Now before we get into this we all know that Pyukumuku is a sea cucumber, but the question
is how do they up chuck their internal organs.
Sea Cucumbers possess something called Cuvierian tubules which are clusters of fine tubes located
at the base of the respiratory tree.
These tubules can be discharged through the anus when the sea cucumber is stressed.
Wait a second I thought that white marking on Pyukumuku's face was a kanji I didn't think
it was an anus.
When stressed, the sea cucumber faces away from the attacker and contracts its body wall
muscles sharply.
This causes the walls to tear and the anus to gape and the free ends of some of the tubes
to be ejected.
Oh my god *retches* Water from the respiratory tree is forced
into these tubules causing a rapid expansion and they elongate by up to twenty times their
original length.
They have great tensile strength and become sticky when they encounter any object.
The adhesive so is strong a firm grip is obtained in under ten seconds.
It just gets worst huh not only is it firing tubes from its anus they are stick too.
Talk about gross.
The mass of threads can entangle and immobilize potential predators such as small fish or
crabs.
The threads can be detached from the sea cucumber while it scurries away.
The tubules are readily regenerated, a process that takes about seventeen days.
Hands down Pyukumuku and Sea Cucumbers are the most disgusting creatures known to mankind.
Anyway if you enjoy the video leave a like and until next time deuces.

Create Your Own "Sensory Diet" for Your Horse - Duration: 37:12.
Good Morning everybody!
Christiane here, and it is another Wednesday and I really love to combine Confident Rider
with Happy Horse Wednesday because in the end, it's both.
It always is.
So we are a couple of minutes early.
If you're joining me, today is about the Sensory Diet that you can create for your
horse to keep it more attentive, more calm, and more focused.
And that is in particular, for horses that tend to kind of all of a sudden blow up and
you don't know why.
So, a couple of minutes; if you join – (Good Morning, Donna) – if you join us on replay,
you can fast forward a couple of minutes but we're going to get started.
So Donna, do you have a horse that you think might be kind of sensitive or are you sensitive
because that's a real issue to point, as well.
So as always, I don't always see the comments on my camera here so I'm going to search
for myself on Facebook.
Hi Lori, Good Morning!
Fantastic.
So let me see the answers because once again, I don't think I can see them on my camera.
Oh, good morning!
I can see that.
Lori, do you have a horse – (Good Morning, Rose) – Lori or Rose, anybody, Donna – "we're
both sensitive"; isn't that interesting.
Donna, so what are you sensitive to?
Is it sound?
Is it all of it?
Good Morning, Patti; oh my God, so nice to see you.
I'm so glad to do this every week!
This is just the coolest thing.
And for some reason, I can't see the comments so I can focus more on the camera, actually.
So, are you sensitive?
Do you have a sensitive horse?
What do you usually do – (Thanks for the heart) – as always, share this because I
think in particular today, it is about the horse but it is about the person whether even
you're a rider or not, to create your own Sensory Diet so you can be more focused, more
attentive, and more calm throughout the day is something we can all use.
So, share if you feel called to.
Patti, okay thank you, Patti for sharing.
So Donna says, "He reacts to visual".
So let's officially start.
It is 9AM, Pacific.
I'm welcoming all of you to another focus on both the confident rider and the happy
horse because what better than to create a diet, a Sensory Diet for your horse that allows
you to have a calmer, more focused, and attentive horse, and your horse doesn't have to blow
a fuse because no horse in the world likes to do that.
So Donna says, "I'm sensitive to him"; yup, okay.
Got that but I don't know if I could help with that but let's see.
Okay so let's get started.
Let me get my notes.
So I'm going to give a little background because it's almost like Part 2.
For those of you who have not watched Part 1, it is last week's recording.
You can see it under Videos on my Facebook page.
It talks about that we don't just have five senses, but actually seven or sometimes eight
but we're focusing on seven.
Three of them are helping us with regulating ourselves.
And that is the focus of today.
The idea is how can we regulate; how can uses these senses to regulate.
Now, I'm going to give a little recap for those that have not seen last week's episode.
So it started when a community member, Susan, actually sent me a direct email, and I think
some of you, Denise for example, has the same horse.
"My horse is the calmest horse in the world, laid back, easy going, but when we get to
noisy environments with lots of other horses, lots of other things going on, he just all
of a sudden loses it.
Just goes crazy at times even resulting (Good Morning, Cecilia) – in bucking and other
dangerous behaviors.
And so catches me by surprise.
I'm now worried about taking him anywhere."
So this is the kind of horse that you can't feel confident about because you can't figure
out; it feels like out of the blue.
I can tell you it's not.
So for all of you who are Moms, most of you, you know that child at the end of the day
that just – it was fine, everything was fine, everything is fine; this is a really
great day; and then all of a sudden it results in a temper tantrum.
And you have no idea, "Where the hell did that come from?"
Well sometimes as Moms, we actually do have a pretty good idea and we say things like,
"He got overstimulated" "It was just too much for him" – too much noise, too
much this, not enough nap.
We get that as Moms.
We don't always get it around our horses.
So that's what the topic is today but it helps to anchor it in real life.
We have all seen kids melt down.
We have seen ourselves melt down.
I do.
Like I mentioned I think last week, the hardest thing was when my husband was on a business
trip and I had my two little daughters, and as the day went by, they would need more like
they got more and more clingy and they wanted more touch.
And I got more and more sensitive to their touch.
At the end of the day when they were just like, "Mommy!"
I could've just, just my skin was just crawling.
And I wasn't always the most patient Mom at that point.
I'm sure you can relate.
So, let's talk about – thumbs up on that one, right?
Okay so what are the; so we have, just a quick recap – we have smell, we have auditory,
olfactory, auditory, taste, we have touch, and we have vision.
We have also proprioceptive - the sense of self and parts that we cannot see.
So if you think about it just without looking, you know what you're sitting on.
You can feel how hard or soft it is, if you're sitting.
If you're standing, you can feel it underneath your feet.
You know if you're standing on sand, if you're standing on a hard surface.
That's proprioception.
You don't need to see it in order to know it.
The vestibular system is the inner ear balance system.
So that was pretty clear.
And then touch, one of the five, that's why it's seven all together, is another
one that we can use both for up and for down regulation.
So those three – proprioception, touch, and vestibular.
Now before I get going, why do I know this and how is that relevant to the horse, and
is there research about it?
I want to make sure.
One is I was an occupational therapist and I specialized in working with children through
my hippotherapy practice, on integrating those senses.
A lot of children with developmental delays and children with autism, have issues integrating
all these senses.
So a lot of the things we did during therapy was doing that so that's where my expertise
comes from.
Two is it has now more into more than that.
There's now literature about for adults to self-regulate.
And for just us to regulate our senses.
Is there research around horses?
Anecdotal; here and there; I've done a lot of research to see like has somebody actually
– I'm not the only occupational therapist working with horses – has never really anybody
seen this or done work on it.
I bet you there's a lot of anecdotal evidence but I have not yet seen horses studied.
That said, we started off with children that had issues.
Now, we're transferring it to adults, and the senses are identical in all of us.
So I'm confident that with you experimenting with this, we can actually kind of collect
some empirical study or a research or findings that allow us to say, "Yup, that works"
whether some huge person researched it or not.
But, the disclaimer is I don't know.
I need you to practice.
I need you to experiment.
I need you to see how it works.
So, I'm not coming up with this new theory like Sensory Diet for Horses, it just solves
all your problems.
Okay, alright.
So let me see if any comments; if I missed anything.
Okay, cool.
Oh, hi Gail!
I didn't see that.
Good afternoon!
Cecilia, alright.
So now let's dive in with this little disclaimer.
So we got these three senses – proprioception, vestibular, and touch.
And again, I was telling the story about – (Hi, Trish.
Video is choppy; see if everybody else does.
If not, it's on your side.)
Okay so, imagine yourself all droopy and drowsy.
So okay, I'm going to start off – there's a level from 1 to 10 – think about it.
And I'm always talking about alertness levels – 0 is deep asleep; 10 you just totally
lost it.
So just quickly, I don't want to interrupt, but yes, Trish all the videos are automatically
recorded by Facebook.
Thank you, Lee Ann, and thank you, Lori.
Hi Lee Ann, by the way.
So, 0 to 1, I'm not going to go and look at your comments for a bit so I can really
explain it.
0 – asleep; 10 – you're blowing the fuse.
What people have found is that the learning zone, the zone that we are most attentive,
most focused, is kind of between a 4 and a 6.
So for 2, deep asleep; we're sluggish on the couch watching a show, watch another show;
no learning really occurs.
If in effect we're stressed and we have a deadline to meet, and "Oh my God, oh my
God; nothing works" and it spikes up to 7 and an 8, and even a 9, at that point we
make mistakes.
We write email that should never have gone out.
We know what that looks like.
We make mistakes.
We cannot fully focus.
Multitasking occurs in 7, 8, 9 zone, hence people are now saying multitasking is highly
overrated.
So, 0 – asleep, 10 – blow the fuse; 4, 5, and 6 – major learning zones.
So how do we get into them?
Ideally, we want to hover kind of between a 4, 5, and 6 all day long.
So think about it.
And this comes from something called the Alert Program.
You can look that up if you want to.
They invented this kind of a scale.
Like you wake up in the morning and you need a cup of coffee or a cup of tea to even get
from that 1 or 2 up to processing.
And then you eat your cereal or something high sugar, and you spike a little above that.
So you get a lot done but it's a little jiggydy.
And then you go back down because you got a sugar crush and now you're super hungry
and you can't focus because you're hypoglycemic.
And then you eat a donut to jack that back up and so you go like this.
But you don't really live in this zone.
So if that makes sense to you, give me some kind of "Done that"; thumbs up, that means;
because I've been there.
Stress occurs, your child calls with a huge emergency and your stress goes up, and then
you feel really tired and you go back down.
But you don't – this are the days where you say, "My day just ran away with me".
You didn't get done half of what you wanted to get done.
(Okay, great for thumbs up.)
That is what we want to fix both in ourselves and with our horses.
So in like Denise's case, she was talking about her horse being, I think it was cutting
or some cow work, and you were standing and standing and standing; alertness level goes
down, your muscles get cold, you feel sluggish, and all of a sudden you got to go and run
after the cow.
Now, it has to spike above this really lovely central zone.
Think about you're at a horse show and you have a tool that keeps; helps your horse to
be consistent in this middle zone – not deep asleep, and not spiked up.
Your horse will always be ready to go.
And that's kind of the goal and it's not – I'm not a horse show person anymore.
I don't go to events.
But what if that was on a trail; what if you noticed, if you learned to notice when your
horse is spiking up or going down; what if you knew how to regulate not just your own
energy but the input through these three senses to get your horse back to that place of attention,
focus, and calmness?
A 4, I always equate to, I'm sitting with a friend and having coffee; kind of calmly
relaxed.
A 5 is probably what I feel right now – really focused, paying attention to you, excited
to get you engaged.
A 6 maybe something that's more task-oriented – I got to finish this video editing or
I'm going to write this article.
Anything below the coffee and above the article writing, isn't really such a desirable state.
So, I'm going to take a little break.
"Ah, that would be wonderful", Gail says.
Yeah, that would be great.
So let's go dive into – we're 12 minutes into it already – how do we do this?
And again, I'm extrapolating from things that people to children and now adults.
So you got to go play with me on this.
So here are some examples.
I'm going to give people examples and then I'm going see if I can generate a horse
example but I would love for you to type in with new ideas.
We're really co-creating this new material if you want.
So let's say you're stressed and you need some perking up.
Some sensory ideas, what would that be?
What could you do to perk up, other than having the donut.
That jacks you right; so what you have to be careful with the alerting is not sending
you right across the learning zone into destruction.
So what can you do?
So if we're looking at all the elements first, all the senses first, let's start
with smell.
Let's say you're a little – okay, Lori – "Exercise, movement"; perfect.
That was not smell but it was perfect.
Okay.
So what would exercise be, Lori?
Exercise is actually a cool one because it's movement so it activates the vestibular system.
So I can go both ways.
What type of exercise would be calming?
Patti – "Walking"; excellent.
What is walking?
Is it waking up or is it calming down?
Or can it be both?
If I'm too sleepy and I'm on the couch, and I finally turn the TV off and I go for
a walk.
Right, exactly, Lori – "it depends where you're at"; it creates alertness.
If in effect I had a really stressful day and a whole bunch of stuff went wrong, my
walk may calm me down.
And that's because the vestibular system can do both.
Excellent.
Let me see, there was one.
Oh Gail – "If I'm stressed, I need to be brought down", so how are you being brought
down?
What do you do to get yourself down?
And I'm not talking about liquor.
What is a healthy way to use these senses?
For example, I'm going to give you some hints – the mouth and the mandibular joint;
right here, that looks really stupid on camera, has a lot of proprioceptive sensors.
The mouth is full of it.
What could you do and what do people do to calm themselves down?
They eat.
In particular, sticky things because the stickiness – yes, chewing gum, exactly Lori.
The stickiness activates the proprioceptive sense in the jaw.
Versus something that goes easily down.
So let's play with this.
What could you give your horse both to activate and to calm?
You can give your horse actually food that is kind of exciting, that has a fresh flavor,
that may be a little lemony, a little weird.
That would get it up.
Anything chewy, a carrot – you topped the test, right?
I don't really know.
That's a really good point.
Is a carrot going up because it's kind of juicy and it generates something like it gives
sensory input?
Or, does it actually calm down?
My sense is and I don't know if we can get that precise, but my sense is that it's
more chewy it would be, more calming, so something with molasses?
I don't know.
Again, it's playtime here.
I don't know.
But chewing in itself is a really calming activity.
An apple might actually be a little activating.
It's juicy and a little sour, and who knows?
It may also be…
Okay, if a horse is stressed, do we want it to go up?
My horse is hyper at feeding time.
That's a little different issue.
Feeding time, because our horses aren't free fed in general, they get anxious because
they're hungry.
So that's a little different.
But… peanut butter – but if you were to use food as a reward, like as a Sensory Diet
tool, so that's different from feeding your hay, then maybe different, peanut butter,
something chewy may actually calm your horse down.
Now, horses we know don't eat unless they're really, really stressed.
So if your horse is really up there and you're trying to give it a carrot, isn't going
to happen.
But you can use it as a preventive possibly?
"I'm noticing he's getting just a little anxy.
I'm about to see, he's about to lose it" but he's still with you; peanut butter,
something chewy, something molasses, try maybe it's a carrot.
The chewing itself may be the calming effect.
And, horsemen have known this for a long time.
They just don't know why that is.
Now you do.
How about other – so the proprioceptive sense is also in your muscles and in your
joints; so a compaction of joints against each other.
With children, we call this heavy work.
We have them lift books.
In my therapy practice, I used to put weights underneath little wheelbarrows that they would
have to push.
So heavy pushing through deep sand; huge proprioceptive input.
That's why kids that have hyperactivity issues which is actually a 2 lower level of
alertness, self-medicate by being so active.
They stimulate their feet.
"Weighted vest"; give me a second, Lori.
That is actually having to do with touch.
That's perfect.
Let's just get there.
The weighted vest actually is both for touch and impact on the muscles.
So, how does that relate to a horse?
I think that, and I haven't had time to really look at this.
I will do this in more depth.
Linda Tellington Jones has quite a bit of these movements with your hand that are deep
activators, that are really soothing.
They stimulate what would be weight.
You could, if it's cold, put a couple of heavy blankets on your horse.
Now again, make sure it doesn't get heated from underneath.
But that might be super soothing like we put it on a child that has a meltdown.
We put heavy, heavy blankets or weighted vest.
A mattress – you could help your horse feel its joints more by having to balance.
So there's the vestibular and the proprioceptive on an old mattress.
The inputs into the joints are much greater on an uneven wobbly surface than it would
be on a really rough or just a sand surface.
So here's an example.
I don't know if I told you this last week.
But when I worked at a school; I think I did – Episcopalian school and so when they went
to chapel, they sat on these hard benches.
Afterwards, they came down the stairs and many of them tumbled.
So if you translate that, if we just put them in normal sand areas and they're used to
that, they don't get any more input into these joints.
Think about all of these little joints in the horse's foot.
If we could activate them – the knee, the shoulder, the top of the scapular; that is
really soothing.
Now at a horse show, I don't know if you can walk them to a mattress.
But there's possibly a way that you could add some pressure to the hoof or you can do
the Tellington Jones like lift up the leg and do some stretches.
Anything that gives the horse more of a sense of its joints is definitely soothing.
So very good; you guys are really participating.
Because again, we have to generate this ourselves, right?
There is really not a lot of research on this.
I'm wondering around – again, with the taste, is there possibly something sour that
changes from a different…
I don't know.
You guys play with this.
Vision – So your horse is visually, totally stimulated like at a horse show or it's
windy and everything is flapping.
What could you do like how can you use vision as a calming agent?
Short of blindfolding but could you put them away for a moment, in just a dark space?
They often, when they need it, they turn into a corner to just stop the stimulation.
That can be really calming.
It's not part of the three great ones but it has, hearing.
I saw at a horse show especially around L.A. where it gets really noisy, riders put cotton
into their horses' ears.
And yes, it's also the flies.
But think about the flies, what are they doing?
They're providing a whole bunch of irritating light touch.
It activates their alertness system.
So by putting something into a horse's ear, you regulate (My hair is really messy today)
– you regulate sound and there's the tactile issues from flies and bugs.
Oh, a fly mask, these riding fly masks, rather than have your horse deal with all this little
irritation, can you prevent it by putting a riding fly mask on?
Ah yes, touch.
There are two different types of touches.
If you actually go against your hair very lightly – everybody do it for a second – just
go take your arm, go against the grain of the hair very, very lightly.
Do you feel how it's activating?
It's strange, right?
It's almost a little irritating after a while.
Now take your hand and press it down on your arm in the direction of your hair.
It's calming.
And that's what Lori was referring to weighted vest.
It calms.
Now go back.
So, how can we – horse has a huge surface of skin and hair.
How could you use both – "hey buddy, it's time to wake up"; is there possibly some
light, little something that you can do?
Like a little butterfly over the skin or – "oh boy this was a lot and I'm seeing my guy
is losing it.
I'm going to give him deep touch, deep pressure".
I don't have the answers but I hope that you can see what's possible.
Yes, it almost tickles going against the grain.
It's weird.
Now, if you're falling asleep, trust me, or you're in the car and you've been like
second L.A. traffic for a couple of hours, do this, and it wakes you up.
So, it's really thinking – "Okay, what do I usually do to calm my horse down?"
I talk to it.
Well, now that you know the power houses which is vestibular and proprioceptive, and touch,
you realize auditory isn't the power house.
That doesn't mean not speaking soothingly helps.
But it is another input.
Sound doesn't have as big a…
The auditory nerve is not as easy regulator.
Any sound creates input.
Let's see what Patti says.
"Calm to singing"; okay so again, you play with it.
What is waking them up?
What is calming them down?
So singing, soothing, melodic; so rhythm in itself is the calming mechanism.
We all know that.
So my horse acts up.
My horse gets scared.
I'm going to ride in circles.
It's not just the circle even though that's great.
It is also the repetition of the circle; a figure eight and a figure eight and a figure
eight.
It's the sameness.
It's the sameness that's really important.
Now, let me see what Gail says, "My horse loves to be touched, loves a curry when I
brush"; okay.
Now, there's also individual differences – each horse if you really pay attention
to this, will tell which brushes are their favorites and which aren't.
There's actually a sensory integration protocol, a Sensory Diet for children with issues that
has to do with brushing.
But like I have some of my horse have this, even though they're mustangs, have kind
of a thoroughbred-ish really thin skin and a curry comb drives them crazy.
But the soft, I have these German brushes only like this thick, and it has amazing hair,
and I glide that over their coat and they go like [makes a sound].
Some others love, like you said, love the curry comb with the shedding.
Some of mine are totally cool on taking actually the main brush and rubbing it over their bodies.
Some of them go like twitchy over it.
It's not so much about what tool you use but you're starting to become aware of what
does what to a horse, to each horse.
And as you create that Sensory Diet for that particular horse, you will be able to help
it in a preventive way to stay in this alert, calm, attentive space.
Now, let's jump before we close up, a little bit to you.
You see what time it is.
We don't want to get overtime.
Oh yeah; a little bit to you.
And that is, can you also identify what is soothing for you, what is activating for you?
So I'm thinking horse show, horse meltdown.
In all reality you both kind of have a semi-meltdown.
It's hard to be in horse shows.
I've been there.
It's sound and your adrenaline and your excitement and your fear, and your fear of
failure, and all that emotional crap that comes with any kind of public event, activates
you.
Now since with your presence and you on the horse also has any of that activating or calming
presence on your horse, what can you do better than staying in this place?
So for example, you could share a few things.
One of those large toy balls or exercise balls but put something over or they don't blast
according to our experience, you could sit on it and rock a little bit.
Rocking is really soothing to the vestibular system; really, really good.
Let's see what Lori says, "self talk"; yeah.
But if we're staying with the senses and we're staying out of our heads in our body,
then what else can we do?
So you can rock on this ball.
You can use the same ball to put deep, long, wide circles on your horse.
Because of its big surface, it touches a lot of the horse at the same time.
So that's really soothing; circular is soothing.
Let me see what Rose says, "controlled breathing".
Aha!
So controlled breathing is a really – remember when I said rhythmic – breathing does that
because of the proprioceptive inside of your body.
Deep breath activates the system.
You do that rhythmically.
So possibly, there's a way to get your horse to breathe deeply rhythmically.
So maybe your figure eights are now at a trot.
Allow your horse to deeply breathe.
Maybe lighten the girth or cinch to allow more deep breath.
Maybe it's climbing up a short hill.
So let's say you're at an event and there's a little hill.
A hill would activate this deep breathing.
It would activate the proprioceptive sense in the feet.
There's an uneven, weird surface.
And it activates the vestibular system at the same time because there's more balancing
required.
I bet you it's a highly, highly effective way for calming your horse down.
Let's see, Gail, "I rock on my desk and I also look for nature for calmness; looking
at trees, listening to the wind, walking in nature".
You know this about yourself, realize that your horse is no different; no different.
Now, the only thing we need to be careful with is imposing what's calming to us on
the horse.
That's not what it is.
What might be calming to you may be very stressful for your horse.
So walking in nature may be a calming activity for you but your horse isn't used to being
in nature.
It's kind of like a stable horse, sensory-deprived its entire life; it won't like walking in
nature for a while.
But it may enjoy some really boring figure eight circles.
The nice thing about figure eights or circles in general, is that it also gives input into
the muscles and joints because they are being used differently depending on what side you
are.
So let's say you travel on a circle on the right, the right shoulder, and the right hip
gets more input.
As you switch, the left shoulder, the left hip gets more input.
The intercostals muscles on the off side get more stretched.
So it's not just movement as we hear from the trainers.
It is why movement is so calming.
So I hope you learned something today.
I really appreciate them; really, really super active conversation that we had, and we'll
continue this.
I will build an entire program, not just on that, but I will combine liberty and obstacle
courses with this knowledge because I think I know that they'll be incredibly fun to
not just walk into an obstacle course for the heck of it, and because we flood our horses
with senses.
That is by the way, the police way of doing it – they overload the horse until the horse
has to tolerate everything that gets to it.
And from a police standpoint, I totally understand.
From our standpoint, we can build obstacle courses that are therapy courses for our horses.
We'll get to know what's soothing to them; what they love, what they don't like; what
makes them playful and what brings them back to their learning zone.
And it is an experiment.
I'm not stating this huge theory but we can add that to something that already exists
which is liberty, agility, obstacle courses, trail trials; all of that.
So, I'm excited to present that more to you as time allows.
That's the issue.
But we are building our course right now with these ideas in mind.
So we'll continue it on our Facebook, in our Facebook group as a discussion.
Again, for whoever hasn't joined yet, it's at facebook.com/groups/harmonywithhorses,
and we'll continue and we'll compile ideas as you are experimenting with what's soothing
and what's activating.
Great!
I'm really glad that was a lot of good info.
I really had fun because it allows me to draw from something I already know and I can bring,
I think, agility and agility competition which isn't my thing, but the obstacle course
into a new light as something that helps our horses heal, our horses get to this place
where they love living at which is calm, assertive, attentive, focused, and not fearful.
And the same goes for you [blows a kiss].
Bye for now!
Next week, I think I will actually switch.
I was thinking about really doing a real spiritual talk.
I don't think that half an hour warrants that.
I think it will be a webinar.
But, yesterday we really had a great discussion around standing up, not just from a leadership
perspective in terms of our horses, but standing up to authorities, riding instructors when
things don't feel right.
And this will be the discussion for next week because I think it's very, very important
that you keep being grounded in who you are.
Thank you, Lee Ann; and I'll announce next week's call, next week's talk, of course.
And I'll see you over in the group.
Bye!

What to Do When You and Your Horse Don't Match - Duration: 40:57.
Good Morning!
Christiane Witt here from, actually a sunny Southern Oregon or about to be sunny.
We are (let me see) just about two minutes early, as always.
Oh, three minutes.
We will be talking today about what to do when you think it's time to divorce your
horse.
And it's a very personal show.
I have been thinking about this a lot.
And there are never really written-in-stone rules, of course, but I hope that I can provoke
some thoughts in you, some guidelines that might help you decide what the best thing
for you and your horse is.
So today, I'm combining Confident Horse Wednesday with Horse Soul Wednesday because
it could be the best thing for you and your horse.
So if you watch this on replay, scoot on forward a couple of minutes and we'll start right
on top of the hour.
So the horse that is concerning you today, what is his or her name?
Let's give it a name.
Let's not just call it an anonymous horse of some sort.
And hello, whoever joined me.
Once again, I can't see comments so I'm going to check on my Facebook page that everything
is working.
And again, this is about – are you mismatched with your horse?
And if you feel like you are, how will you know and what will you do.
This is what's most important.
(Good Morning, Lori).
Okay.
Let me just check my video.
Sorry, I'm a little slow today.
I am still a little sore from what happened to me.
Okay.
Good Morning.
Hi, Lori.
Okay, I see it.
Hi, Cecilia, good morning.
So, let's see what time is it.
Two minutes.
Again, the topic today is – What to do when you feel like you and your horse are possibly
not the right match.
We don't talk a lot about it because in many situations, it can be fixed.
And so, I will actually be talking today very honestly about what I think can be fixed and
what I think can't be fixed, and what are possibly some new opportunities to interact
with our horses where instead of finding a new person for them, we find a new job for
them.
So, I'm excited about that.
It's very personal as many of you know.
So let me check who has joined; and one minute.
Oh, Denise.
Oh, look at you, you're all here.
Good Morning, Lori.
Okay, fantastic.
Oh!
Now I can see the comments again.
God, technology is really something (pulling my hair out).
Okay.
So, what is the horse that you may think matches you least?
What's your horse's name?
It's going to be an interesting trivia question but I think it's important that you identify
that horse with its name so that we can really be honest today.
What is your horse's name, if you have one.
Let's just get started, okay.
It's nine o' clock.
I'm going to keep these glasses on despite all reflections so I can see your comments.
Charger – Denise.
I think Charger will be fine.
Bella, your thoroughbred; yes, Lori.
Okay, great.
So, many of you heard the story.
I'm just going to give a quick recap.
I know you who are here – Good morning, Christie – Marquee – you've heard the
story so bear with me.
I'm only going to take about five minutes.
But I think it's important for those who are going to watch the video afterwards, who
don't have the background story.
So, I adopt mustangs.
I gentle mustangs.
That's what I do.
That's what I love doing.
I've done that very successfully, and tend to take those that other people don't want.
So when I worked at a mustang rescue in Lancaster, California, one of the horses really called
to me.
I don't usually have that.
I'm not that weird; that horse just talk to me.
But this guy did.
And he said, "Please don't hurt me anymore".
He was this very frightened, very big, very powerful, unusually big mustang in a corner.
And I heard a little voice saying, "Please don't frighten me anymore".
Well, you can imagine that given that I don't hear that often, I just felt called to take
him home.
So I looked at his chart and his chart had this big label – crazy – across.
And he had been returned several times.
The story was a little vague but there was something about him having had a saddle on
for 24 hours because he wouldn't stop bucking and somebody took him to TAP program which
I don't really understand, but I understand includes laying a horse down or throwing a
horse down.
Again, vague history.
Why I'm telling you this is because most of you have used horses; kind of like used
cars, with people that owned and started the horses prior to you getting them.
So your history may be more vague on your horse than it was on me.
So, that's all I knew.
He was very frightened, very terrified of people.
And so, I knew, I had a hand, I know how to develop trust.
After my book and my story with Maia, I knew how to develop trust and lo and behold, once
I took him home, within a few weeks he was following me around like a puppy.
He has an amazing energy.
He's a really nice animal but it was very clear that somebody had rushed the job of
saddling him.
And I want you to remember this because if you are starting to doubt your horse very
likely somewhere there in his early education, somebody rushed the job.
If you remember, when I teach you about reclaiming your confidence, I always talk about comfort
zone, stretch zone, and fear zone or even panic zone.
Many horses even today are started through the fear and panic zone.
And they get stuck in that zone as we will hear in that story in just a little bit.
So, long story short, he's been progressing amazingly; done a lot of beautiful groundwork,
a lot of releasing in his pull, was really stiff.
He has a scar from being roped so his pull is almost messed up.
All great; I've been riding him on trails even though the winter was rainy, I've been
putting some hours into riding him.
His kind of a little slow, like laid back so a really, really sweet horse.
I was about to buy all these European equipment to do some really classic academic dressage
with him when I took him out for a little ride on Sunday, just on my property.
So grass has just started growing and they have been living in a muddy dry pen, and so
muddy, wet pen.
And so when he saw the grass he said, "Oh, I would like some grass" and all I said
is, "No, you know what, not right now".
I didn't jerk.
I didn't yank.
I don't even have a bit in his mouth.
And he decided to bolt one more time.
He had done it with me before, injuring me.
It was hard, scary series of bucks, and I came off.
Thank goodness, the ground was soft and other than my ribs, and you might see some circles
under my eyes because I think I had some concussion even though I had a helmet on.
I'm okay.
Now, the point here is what do I do next?
And before I get there, the heater is killing me; so one second.
Think about the same thing for your horse.
If you have a persistent problem with your horse, very likely it started without a fear,
a defense mechanism.
But what happened with Dao, now that I know he wasn't afraid anymore, he was totally
desensitized to the saddle; to me, I mean I've done a good job.
It's that his fear became a habit.
And now instead of getting rid of this thing that panics him, he learned a skill and that
is to get rid of the thing that bothers him.
Different story; and I really want you; I would love some feedback.
If you either have come across a horse like that or you happen to have one where while
you are – (Good morning, Cat) – while you are the most kind minded person and you
might have rescued horses, you sometimes wonder what the heck is wrong with this horse, I've
done everything to build the trust.
And yet, I see this kind of behavior.
So let me see if you have any experiences.
I know it's always a little delayed.
So if you do, type it in.
So, out of fear, out of bad starting, now a habit was created.
Now, I've talked to you in the group and if it's a habit such as pulling back or
opening a latch or nibbling on wood, or whatever it is, you can work on that.
You can extinguish it.
We know now – (Good morning, Kim) – that extinguishing is a very solid, very successful
form of getting rid of a behavior.
70% success rate is the highest that we've seen both in people as you overcome your confidence
– thank you for the thumbs; yeah – and in horses.
But, we also know something called spontaneous recovery just like you can really reclaim
your confidence.
And then kind of forget about it and ride, and all of a sudden you get triggered by something
and all of that fear comes back.
The thing is when I work with you, I can tell you that that might happen and you can evaluate,
as a rider like, "okay most of the time, I'm not afraid.
It's worth it for me to get in the saddle and then every so often it comes back, I know
now what to do to reclaim my confidence afterwards".
With a horse that has a habit not of hard series of bucks, can I afford at my age or
any age, to wait for that spontaneous recovery?
What does that to my own confidence?
What does that to my own sense of safety?
What does that to my husband's support of this entire business?
So those are questions that I think we need to all ask ourselves.
So the question to you, to make this story relevant to you is – Do you have a horse
that a) you feel caused initially by fear but now has a habit that is dangerous to you
and the horse?
A lot of you have trailer loading issues.
This is a very typical one where somebody didn't take initially, a lot of time with
trailer loading, kind of shoved and force the horse in, the horse panicked.
And now, even though you've done a lot of work, every so often, your horse will refuse
to climb back in the trailer.
That's spontaneous recovery.
Or, they will start to panic because, I don't know, the brake screeched, or any kind of
a little trigger hijacked their entire thinking.
Okay, I see a comment by Christie – "Marquee was shown through pain by a trainer (kissing
spine) it made him hot and even now when I begin to collect him he gets so hot, it's
not fun to ride even though we've resolved the pain issue."
Yes.
"He was my dream Hunter Pleasure horse."
Yes.
Again, you may be able to extinguish it to a certain degree but the slightest trigger
might bring it back up, and that is a reality.
We don't talk about it a lot in our industry because to be really honest, a lot of trainers
make money off those horses, and I don't mean this in any derogatory way because thank
goodness they are there to help you.
But, if we actually really look at behavioral science rather than "I'm hoping for the
best" science, then we know that statistics show us that this spontaneous recovery can
occur at any time.
So, if you know that and you have a horse that; if your horse pulls back, don't tie
it up for a while.
If your horse has trailering issues, really work on it.
Think of what you can live with, I guess is my message to you.
If your horse gets really nervous, maybe you can't show it anymore.
Let me see, there's another comment.
I really want to make this interactive.
Cat – "I had a mare that would buck every once in a while.
We never knew the trigger; usually easy buck.
Finally, very hard buck and I got hurt.
Finally, I had to return her."
(Good Morning, Alice) Yes, so an occasional one, and see this is exactly what happens
here, too.
I'm the first one to wonder if I did a good job with a horse; if I could've done better;
whatever it was.
But Dao and I, oh my God, like this, and I've done a lot of work and if you see pictures
of me desensitizing him with a dummy, I mean I've done it.
And, because my concussion wasn't very big, I remember to the very end, I remember all
of it.
And there was no perceivable trigger.
Now the issue is and I teach this a lot, is that often your horses do give you a cue before
something happens especially when it's fear-based.
So I have a Quarter horse Arab mare that shies.
That's a different thing from bolting and bucking.
Now, the result might be the same but it's caused by something different and that's
what I really want you to take away with from this, and really go home and think about it.
Is it caused by fear?
Or is it caused now by a habit that has positively reinforced?
Me, coming off, him running off to the grass; I still have to find my bridle.
That was positive reinforcement.
Now, my Quarter horse Arab mare gives me plenty of little signs that the alertness level goes
up, and I can do something about that.
I can move her feet.
I can get her attention back to me.
I can get off and do groundwork.
I have choices.
But a horse that has learned a behavior, and that's all it says, that Dao is really smart
because he's learned something and he's getting better and better at it.
Meaning he gives less and less warning signs so he cannot be stopped.
And I don't mean this in any judgmental way.
As a matter of fact, I'm proud – Wow, at least I got a smart horse.
But, here's the thing with a buck and a bolting horse – if we want to extinguish
it, we need to make sure that we can stop it a hundred percent of the time.
There's something called intermittent reinforcement in behavior therapy theory, and you all do
this.
The biggest analogy that came to me last night with a horse like this is a three-year-old
kid at a checkout counter.
He sees the candy and he goes, "Mom, I want some candy" and the Mom says, "Nope, no
candy today"; "Baahhhh...!" you know, splash on the floor, big temper tantrum, and
you're staying really consistent and you're saying, "Sorry I don't care what you do,
we're not having candy".
Okay, great.
You're starting extinguish that behavior.
Twenty times later, "Mom, I want that candy".
You're tired, you had a long day.
You're other kid is occupying your attention and you go, "Okay fine, have a piece of
candy".
You had now even more reinforced this behavior because intermittent reinforcement is stronger
than constant reinforcement.
The way I've learned this is when I worked with kids with autism.
There was a subset of kids that we called kidney bangers; really sad and it's really
how it was.
They try to get attention with disruptive behaviors.
The parents try to extinguish it and ignore it.
And so they escalated their behavior in order to finally get that attention to a point where
they took their elbows into their kidneys and banged them.
Now because you can kill yourself that way, the parents paid attention.
Hence, intermittently reinforced an exaggerated; now exaggerated behavior.
So, if I ride Dao twenty times, hundred times through bucks, and then I come off again,
I now strengthened his response, his habit.
So what I'm trying to say here is whatever you guys behavior issue is with your horse,
is you have responsibility in both directions.
If I was just to say, I'm just going to ride through it or like somebody said yesterday,
they sent their horse to a trainer.
And then the trainer got hurt or came off, and the horse even hurt somebody else to a
point where he now bucked twice a week.
You are basically teaching your horse to buck.
And that is a responsibility we need to be very, very aware of just like this incredibly
well-meaning parents actually inadvertently taught their kids to damage their kidneys.
Now before behavior therapy was available to these children, many of them were institutionalized
in straight jackets.
So I want to bring home to you that it's not all about this heroic, "I'm never
going to abandon my horse", "I'm never going to give up on my horse", "I'm
going to ride through it".
You may do actually more damage.
Because if you ride intermittently through it, get hurt a few times over the next years,
and now you finally give your horse back, you have now given up on a horse that has
a much more confirmed habit than today.
So I want to see your comments on that.
You can see how it's really personal to me because I'm really struggling with that.
"Makes sense" – thank you Gail.
"Yes, Amen", I don't know what the Amen was for but thank you.
So in Cat's story – "Bucked every so often; we never knew the trigger; usually
an easy buck; finally very hard.
I got hurt.
Off the horse went".
If in effect, you feel capable or you have help to ride a horse through an easy buck
especially as long as it's truly still fear-driven, the outcome is very positive.
I mean my Arab mare, God bless her, but every rock is a thing to be gawking at and spooking
at and jumping at, and she doesn't frighten me.
I just turn her head, disengage her hind end, move her feet a little bit; she comes back
to me.
So, because it never escalated into a habit, it is truly still fear-based.
It is not escalating.
As a matter of fact, it's diminishing a little bit.
But every rock that she successfully conquers, she gets more confidence.
Can you see the difference?
One, you really want to stick with – the fear-based.
But once you get into habit, that is not fear-based and you don't know anymore the trigger,
you have to be really responsible on what to do and this is the divorce; what is it
– l like the crossroads, right?
You're now in a crossroad.
So, let me see because I see a couple of comments.
Yeah, Cat, at first you can ride her through it.
Okay, great.
Gina – "I had no idea intermittent reinforcement was stronger than constant but it makes sense."
Of course, it does.
But we don't always think about it.
We are all exposed to intermittent reinforcement.
Gambling is in intermittent reinforcement strategy that's why it becomes an addiction.
You don't every time but goddamn it, you won 15 minutes or two hours ago, so if you
try a little bit more and you spend a little bit more money, you got to win.
That's why intermittent reinforcement is in effect stronger and it causes an addiction.
So in a way, your horse now becomes addicted to this behavior.
And this is where we are at the crossroads.
Now in my case, I got six of them – one is a cold, one is Maia who was never to be
ridden anyway.
She's just the heroine of my book.
And then there's Dao.
There is my Quarter horse Arab mare.
There is a bulletproof, amazing little mustang mare that I find a little boring.
And then there's my husband's still unbroke horse but I think he'll make a really great
running horse.
So I got choices.
Yes, I mean maybe you still see it in my face, I'm grieving.
This horse is by far my most favorite horse and I would love, love, love to sit that extended
trunk that he has and that rocking horse canter.
I don't know if I'll ever have a horse like this again.
But here is the crossroad, is it about me or is it about Dao?
Can in effect, we find a way to be with each other where he can be happy; because here's
the funny part – he bucked and he was successful.
But yesterday, I came into the corral with a halter to work with another horse, and he
walked away.
This is the first time probably since I adopted him that he walked away.
Meaning that he kind of scared himself; he didn't like what he did.
So this isn't a pleasant experience for him either.
His front boots came off, the bridle broke.
This isn't fun for him either.
So, now we're at this crossroad.
And many of you are at the same crossroad that's why I tell the story.
I'm not telling the story because oh me and Dao.
I'm trying to tell the story because we retain stories better than statistics.
So let me see what you're saying and then I'm going to continue with what I came up
with.
Cat – "It's not fun riding in a constant state of alert."
No, not at all.
No.
Lori – "I had to make a decision to sell my horse.
It was hard but best for both of us.
She's doing very well with her new owner."
Great.
Christie – "This really deepens my understanding."
Yes.
Okay, thank you, Christie.
I'm glad.
So, crossroads – sometimes the road is a divorce.
It's the right crossroad.
Maybe it's your only horse, you're boarding.
It's hundreds of dollars a month.
There may not be alternatives to riding because the entire boarding facility is based on being
in the saddle.
The idea I think, ideally is that you make sure that the horse has no other holes, that
it's not damaged goods, that you can identify this one piece so that it's a very desirable
horse except for that one issue, and then hope to match it like Cat was able to do with
the right person.
That's ideal.
Now, in my case, I'm a very good rider and I don't mean to say this … at me, but
I am really good.
I have set bucks.
I notice bucks long before they get there.
I can sense and feel a horse.
I could not sense anything, and I came off very fast and hard.
So, if you think about percentages of riders that are faster, better and more determined
than I am, there aren't that many, right?
So, I don't know, I don't need to place myself somewhere in this – "I'm at the
90th percentile" but does that make sense?
I had Olympic dressage ambitions.
I have a good sit so who do I go to if I was to sell or give away Dao, who I can I kind
of really trust – a) that they treat the horse with kindness because he's not a bad
boy.
He just has a bad habit, and who can really sit the buck and not intermittently reinforce
it so that eventually he'll end up in a terrible, terrible place.
So, the second direction I could take is to say, he's primarily a horse with a soul
and a heart; that he can feel pain just like I do.
And can I let go of my addiction to sit that trot, to rock on that canter, and can I with
him, find a way, a brand new way to be with each other where he can show his brilliance
because it's not his fault.
Some idiot started him the wrong way.
This horse is the most mellow, easy going, gently guy in the world with a crappy habit.
Somebody trained him that habit.
So will I now punish that horse and let him go down this slippery slow towards the kill
show, the kill auction?
I'm not doing that.
So in my case, I have my horses in my own land.
They don't cost me very much.
We own a lot of land.
I do this for a living so I can present him as an example.
We can build obstacle courses and agility courses, and we could do a whole bunch of
different things.
I'm not saying this is the right thing for you but I want you to know that there are
options because the horse world has gotten bigger and more diverse these days, and it's
not all about riding anymore.
So, what I've chosen and I'm just; again, this is not a culture of judgment but in my
case, I'm actually really excited, I have this McGyver husband, and we are going to
create an amazing obstacle course and I will really work with him on agility, on working
equitation but from the ground, and he'll be this majestic well-muscled, amazingly powerful
beautiful, almost black mustang that will shine in its own way without a person on top.
Now, after I've accomplished that, maybe one day, I reconsider taking a risk.
I don't know.
I think the trick here is, the biggest lesson for me and maybe there's a lesson in there
for you, is that if I can remove my ego and my desires, and I can create an alternative
that matches both of us; because I'm actually really excited about learning more about liberty,
about really bringing a horse along like this, like the old European school masters, then
maybe the biggest lesson here is that I see his heart before I see his back.
That's a hard lesson.
I see his back and it's a beautiful back.
And I would love to hop on there.
I don't have another nice horse like that.
But, in the end, is it about us letting them shine in their own way?
Is it about as humans taking responsibility for what we have created, which is a problem
of course?
I think so.
In my case, I have the financial and location possibility to not have to send them away.
I can get creative.
I know not all of you do.
And again, there's no judgment.
But I would love for you to consider if a divorce, a separation, because you've become
your horse's human.
Your horse trusts you.
And again, I'm not guilt-tripping you.
But, what I'm trying to say is there are really three ways.
You can try to ride through the issue and get majorly hurt and in turn reinforce the
behavior, make it stronger and harder to extinguish for somebody else.
You can find hopefully the right next person.
The issue with the next person is always we don't know what the next person after that
next person is.
Or, can you reconsider what you do with your horse?
So in Christie's case, maybe you can't show anymore.
What else is there?
Maybe if you ignore showing for four years and you do something totally different, all
of a sudden the nerves are gone and you can show.
I don't know.
(My glasses dropped on the ground so I'm going to disappear for a second.
Pick them up so I can see your comments.
Oh boy, okay so let's see.)
Lori – "For me, that would be ideal.
I have many horses that I can do different levels of liberty with riding or dressage."
Yeah, cool.
Thanks for the hearts, Cecilia.
"Marquee was also abused when started.
We have properties so we're retiring him.
He has wonderful ground manners and likes to trail ride."
Here we go, different job.
Gail – "I think what scares me most is that it could happen to somebody with your
skills set."
Yes.
Oh, my computer just froze; one second.
"What would I have to offer my horse so we're both safe?"
Well, that's really the question, right.
This is really the point of getting creative.
So, let me just make sure because I always promise you that I stop; okay so I just have
a couple of minutes.
If there's any more comments, mention them now or I'll go overtime.
But I want to respect your time, as well.
So, it's actually, it's always one door closes and a new one opens, and I'm excited
to reconnect with that idea.
What's been really funny is I've had this idea all along.
My husband is amazing at building stuff and we have these beautiful grounds to the woods
and we always talked about an obstacle course.
But because I've been riding for so long, it's always my "go to" thing.
It's like my home base.
And so having kind of like ripped up from underneath me at least in Dao's case, you
know honestly, I don't have very good footing.
This is nature over here.
I don't have this amazing dressage ring that I used to have.
So the question really is to do I spend about ten, $15,000 to build an amazing riding ring
or do I spend some of that money to build an amazing obstacle course?
And, you can see me, I'm excited.
We're going to build it and we're going to build some mobile pieces.
And we're going to build it for various purposes.
So if it's a Confidence course or a more flexibility course like we're giving it
purposes.
And then Brad, my husband will actually create a manual for you, just a PDF to purchase so
you can build your own course, a mobile course.
Look at that, and this is what I'm just trying to show to you is can we get creative?
So instead of divorcing, can we find a new way?
Because many of you say your horses are amazing on the ground.
Can they shine from you on the ground?
Can we give them permission to keep teaching us outside of the saddle, or whatever the
thing is?
If in effect, trailer loading is continuing to be a big issue and somebody has reinforced
really scary situations, can you stay home?
I don't know; there are some others.
Where your horse gets shy, really nervous at shows, can you let go of your desire to
show?
Can you build something new instead of getting divorced?
And, you know, I've been through a divorce.
I know that sometimes it's the best thing you can do and sometimes, it's all about
finding a new venue for the two of you.
And the fun part is that all the riding would've really created a gap between Brad and me.
He's not interested in any of that academic riding stuff.
But now, we have something in common.
We can build together and we can play together, and we can create, and he's really excited.
Last night over dinner he's like, "Oh, and I can create these PDFs and these kits".
So my point is, and I'm going to leave you with that; is sit down, figure out – Is
your horse still fear-based?
Then, I can help.
The programs that you're in or that you're considering with me, I can help.
If it's an old habit that you cannot extinguish or you cannot guarantee that you can extinguish,
then this is a different story.
And let's go find a new path; one of happiness and success and joy and laughter, and the
two of you.
That may not have been the plan that you originally had; kind of like life.
So, I'm going to look at your comments and then I'm going to quit for today.
But I hope this was helpful.
Let's see.
I don't see any more.
It's just a whole bunch of hearts.
Cecilia – "I almost divorced my wonderful husband.
We had to learn to communicate.
I can't imagine my life without him now.
I relay this to my horses."
Oh, excellent.
Cecilia, agility course is on my list as well.
Christie – "Thank you for having such honest and realistic conversation."
Yeah, yeah.
So you know, it's kind of like my business because I was going to include riding in all
of this.
I'm good at it and I'm really good at teaching it.
But instead, I'm going to specialize in helping you build obstacle courses.
It's for confidence-building.
It's for fitness.
Something I wanted you to know anyway.
It's for agility, for flexibility.
We can create it for strength; anything pre-riding that when you choose to ride or if you choose
to ride, your horse is more fun anyway.
And if you don't, you may just forget that what's used to be so important to you.
And I think more I see the age at which, many of you are attracted to this material, for
some of you and so many of you, you have some physical issues.
Oh my ribs, they're hurting like hell, I could feel them.
Is it maybe another way for both of us to be flexible, to be agile, to be laughing,
to be playful?
Because riding sometimes gets so serious.
And we can create clubs, can some of us in our community build these obstacle courses
that we can go visit each other?
Can we do something that has never been done before?
I don't know but I'm excited now and I'm going to thank Dao for kicking my butt, to
come up with new solutions, new ways of being with a horse, where the horse and the relationship
comes before riding.
And I had to take that pill.
So I thank you for all the time.
I'm going to check on last comments.
And next Wednesday, I don't know yet what we're talking about.
It seems like the horses and life tell the story.
But as always, it is the spiritual climb up the spiritual mountain of Mt. Kailash, closer
to the soul of our horses, and with it this morning, I can really say, closer to my own
soul, ego-less soul or less ego-tempered soul.
So I thank you for all your time.
Next Wednesday, same time, and welcome for anybody who's new to our program and our
community.
Come join us in our free group at facebook.com/groups/harmonywithhorses.
And until next week, but I'll check your comments before I say "bye".
Thank you for the hearts.
Okay so let's see, last person.
Great.
I have to see which direction we want to go.
I don't want to say bye yet.
Okay, here we go.
"I can feel your excitement.
It's wonderful."
Yeah, thank you, Dao.
"Great idea, I wish I could be excited as you are.
I'm thinking I can't ride Charger because he bucks."
There is grief, Denise.
I am excited but I don't want to deny the fact that it's; look at me, you don't
usually see me with shadows under my eyes.
It's hard; it's hard.
And, I have no more horses, too.
So, I totally understand.
Hello, Tory.
Hugs to Denise.
Okay.
So, sit with your grief.
Sit with it.
It's real; it's real.
Nobody can take it away from you.
And, you may not come to that conclusion but I think it's important that we have an honest
conversation.
(Blew a kiss) Until next week, or of course, in a few minutes in our group; Bye!

Ophthalmology – Amblyopia: By Christine Law M.D. - Duration: 3:28.
Amblyopia is a leading cause of vision loss in children and young adults.
It is preventable and potentially reversible if detected early.
Amblyopia is diagnosed when there is reduction in best-corrected visual acuity in one or,
less commonly, both eyes due to abnormal development of visual pathways during infancy or childhood.
It almost always occurs during the sensitive period of visual development, from birth until
about 8 years of age.
There are three causes of amblyopia that you cannot miss.
Strabismic Ambylopia: Strabismus, or misalignment of the eyes, transmits a different retinal
image to the brain causing the developing brain to suppress information from the less
focused eye.
Chronically reduced responsiveness to input by the nonfixing eye leads to visual suppression
and vision loss.
Refractive Amblyopia: This cause of amblyopia can be subdivided into anisometropia, large
difference in refractive error between eyes, and high bilateral refractive errors.
Anisometropia is diagnosed when each eye has a different refractive power, which can result
in one eye chronically transmitting an out-of-focus image to the visual cortex relative to the
other eye.
Again, the brain suppresses information from one eye to improve perception.
With high bilateral refractive error, both eyes are equally out-of-focus and transmitting
unclear images to the visual cortex.
Unlike strabismic amblyopia, refractive amblyopia usually has an insidious course because it
is rarely detected without targeted screening.
Visual Deprivation: In this case, a lack of retinal stimulation leads to underdevelopment
of the corresponding visual cortex.
Some causes of visual deprivation include congenital cataracts and a drooping eyelid,
known as ptosis.
Importantly, deprivation amblyopia can be bilateral if vision in both eyes is obscured.
The majority of children during the visual development period cannot recognize or articulate
a decrease in vision in one of both eyes.
Therefore it is imperative all children be screened for amblyopia at a young age.
As a general practitioner, this should include:
A monocular visual acuity test Evaluation for strabismus
Fundoscopy with a direct ophthalmoscope to identify any obvious ocular abnormalities.
Children with abnormalities on any screening test should be referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist
for a thorough eye examination, including refraction, and treatment for amblyopia as
needed.

Where Is Brock Lesnar!? Matt Hardy Near Breaking Point | WWE Raw, May 1, 2017 Review - Duration: 4:59.
Matt Hardy made his clearest Broken gimmick reference yet, The Miz, Finn Balor and Seth
Rollins had a terrific main event, and Dana Brooke actually had some good-looking offence.
I'm Oli Davis, and this is the 1st May 2017 edition of Monday Night Raw...in -Whoah whoah
whoah, wait a second - what about Brock Lesnar's Universal Title?
God dammit, timer.
This isn't the end of this.
Alexa Bliss' Coronation The show opened with Raw's women's division
standing in a horribly staged formation for Alexa Bliss' coronation as their new champion.
Bliss then embarked on a Miz level promo, seamlessly going through her scripted lines
and occasionally improvising to the crowd's reactions.
When the audience chanted for Bayley, she snapped back - I know her name.
A scuffle ensued, which turned into all the faces vs all the heels, as these things tend
to do.
Bliss is so good, she set up multiple feuds, making you want to see her get beaten up by
Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mickie James and even Nia Jax down the line.
Bliss won for the heels after raking Bayley in the eyes.
Luke Gallows beat Enzo Amore I'm so thankful we had the Superstar Shake
Up.
It means we get fresh match-ups like Luke Gallows and Enzo Amore.
What Next For Seth Rollins?
After a flukey win against Samoa Joe at Payback, Seth Rollins came out to answer Michael Cole's
most repeated question that night: what next for Seth Rollins?
Turns out the answer is one of those segments where people keep interrupting each other
to say 'no, I deserve the next Universal championship opportunity'.
Finn Balor laid his rightful claim - he never lost the belt, after all.
Dean Ambrose came out to say he's the Intercontinental Champion.
And The Miz said he should be the Intercontinental champion.
Kurt Angle made a Triple Threat match for the show's main event to decide the No.
1 contender for Dean Ambrose's Intercon-WAIT, AGAIN, NO.
You've done it again.
We were talking about the Universal Championship.
Rich Swann, Akira Tozawa & Jack Gallagher vs Tony Nese, The Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar
No time - we've got to make all the ropes purple.
Jack Gallagher, Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa beat Tony Nese, The Brian Kendrick and Noam
Dar in a throwaway Cruiserweight six man tag.
Sheamaro Explain Heelmaro cut an in-ring promo explaining why
they viciously turned on Matt & Jeff Hardy the previous night at Payback, wearing some
trendy matching black bomber jackets and kilts - a neat touch to get across they're bad
guys now, and you should boo both of them, not just Sheamus.
They accused the Hardys of stealing their spotlight and being nothing more than a nostalgia
act.
Right on cue, Matt showed he's slowly moving on from Team Xtreme, cutting his most Broken
gimmick promo yet and threatening to DELETE them with his trademark-pending hand gesture.
Later on, Angle announced a tag team turmoil match to decide the number 1 contenders next
week.
Apollo Crews beat Heath Slater Apollo Crews beat Heath Slater.
Titus O'Neil took a selfie.
This was fine.
Kurt Angle Update On Strowman and Reigns Both Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns were
off TV selling their Payback injuries from the previous night, which Kurt Angle rather
ridiculously claimed was the most physical match he'd ever seen.
Bray Wyatt interrupted Kurt's injury update, saying Angle might be in control of Raw, but
Bray's got the whole world in his hands.
Wyatt is such a good talker, and he effectively established tension with the Raw GM here.
It's a shame we've been conditioned to see him as just talk, where he loses the majority
of his feuds.
Austin Aries beat TJ Perkins Austin Aries beat TJ Perkins in a cracking
match, where TJ worked over the left knee, but tapped in the end to the Last Chancery.
Perkins continued to attack Austin after the match, furthering his weirdly sycophantic
relationship with Neville.
The Miz beat Seth Rollins & Finn Balor As is the WWE way, after being made to look
like an absolute chump in every segment he's appeared in since the Superstar Shake-Up,
The Miz won a championship opportunity from outta nowhere.
But it's hard to complain when the match was so good, easily one of WWE's best television
matches of the year so far.
In a lovely piece of frantic booking, Samoa Joe attacked Rollins and Wyatt took out Balor,
leaving The Miz to steal a victory he didn't deserve.
Unfortunately, it does mean WWE are rehashing a Smackdown feud from just a few months ago
with Dean Ambrose vs The Miz, but at least the Intercontinental championship is being
prominently featured on Raw.
Oh goddammit, I forgot about the Universal Championship again.
So that was this week's Raw in about four minutes.
Here's the usual ratings recap, from top to bottom - In Awe, Cor, AVRAWGE, Poor and
Bore.
I'll reveal my rating very shortly, but first, vote in the poll above my head to give
yours.
I'll announce the results in tomorrow's WrestleTalk News.
The episode finished very strongly with two great matches, but aside from that, it felt
like not much else happened.
There wasn't anything actively awful, it was just there.
So this week's Raw is AvRAWge.
Watch my review of the surprisingly good Payback, and Alexa Bliss has responded to reports of
her being the latest victim of private image hacking.

I've been Oli Davis and that was wrestling.
