OPRAH: Have you been with people who, in their final moments,

are living that space of regret?  BJ:  Yeah. 

  OPRAH:  Yeah.    BJ:  Yeah. 

  OPRAH:  That would be the saddest thing. 

  BJ:  It is sad.  But you know what's also important? 

  OPRAH:  What do they regret?  Because you know there's

this phrase that nobody's gonna regret not spending

more time at the office.    BJ:  Yeah. 

  OPRAH:  Nobody's gonna regret, you know -- 

  BJ:  It's true. 

  OPRAH:  -- what your spreadsheet looked like. 

BJ:  It's kind of true.    OPRAH:  What do they regret? 

  BJ:  So I love these vicarious deathbed

moments that I get to have.   OPRAH:  Yes. 

  BJ:  And there's some real truth to that.

Like why did I spend so much time with this job I hated? 

Why did I spend so much time married to that person I

didn't really respect?  Or, you know, whatever. 

And there's some real truth to that. 

And it all invariably has to do with time and how you

spend -- how you value your time. OPRAH:  Yeah. 

  BJ:  But you know what's also kind of true here is

 when you watch the power of just accompanying someone

and bearing witness, some of that regret

just gets to go away. 

Because regret, too, is also unavoidable. 

I wouldn't make all this exact same decisions now

that I've made in my past. The salve is being seen. 

The salve have is being felt and heard and witnessed.

That helps the regret fade so nicely. 

So, yeah, I've seen those vicarious,

those deathbed regrets, but I've also watched them

just fall by the wayside pretty sweetly.

How To Get Into Ketosis | 5 Ketogenic Diet Success Tips - Duration: 10:29.

Hello and welcome back to my channel

today I'm going to share five tips to

help you get into ketosis, how to get

into ketosis, how I've got into ketosis

and just loads of tips and information

and keto diet hacks. Before I get into

the content though if you're new to my

channel make sure that you hit the

subscribe button and join the yummy

inspirations community for more low carb

keto diet lifestyle, recipes, inspiration

and more. So, this week I've gone back

into the Keto diet I was off for six

weeks

I took a six-week break I went on

holiday and came back, it took me a little

bit to get my head around, work out when

I'm going to go back onto keto set the

date as first of May, stuck to it, first of

May, documented the day, I shared the other day

in my full daily eating, first day back

on keto I love it I'm feeling awesome

and what I did was I measured with keto

sticks because in the comments you were

asking me about how long does it take to

get ketosis how long did it take me and

remember each person is different so

what works for me and what is my

situation might be different for you so

what I did was I used my ketostix

and I measured from first thing first of

May, first thing in the morning every few

hours or so I wouldn't recommend usually

measuring every few hours but I wanted

to know as accurate as possible the

exact moment that I went into ketosis

so I started Monday morning on the first

of May and on the second of May, so on the

second day at 2:00 p.m. 2nd of May I got

a positive reading on a keto stick that

I was in ketosis, so it took me a little

over a day and I'll put a little picture

of here of my keto stick what the

positive looked like so it took me 1 and

a half days barely to get into ketosis

following the tips that I'm going to

share today, for me, I was keto adapted

for six months so having six weeks off

it took me a day and a half to get back

into keto. First time around I didn't

track and I didn't use keto sticks until

about a month into it so I can't say for

sure but knowing now how I feel on keto it

probably took me about a week or so

first time around

and now like a day and a half so my body

is obviously used to being keto fat

adapted so getting straight back into it

was a lot easier than I thought it would

and I haven't had any Keto flu symptoms

if that's something as well first time

around I definitely suffered from Keto

flu symptoms and so yeah so on to my

five tips, tip number one lower your

carbs, it's obvious low carb high fat diet

but I find it easy to track in a

notebook I shared that in my full day of

eating video I've got a handwritten

notebook I just write down all my foods

and the carbs next to it, you can go into

it with a cab figure in mind or you can

kind of go for as low as possible I like

to start my day a lot of the times with

just eggs so then there's like virtually

no carbs and once am more into it I do

eggs and a veg or two and if you're

just when I was just starting out at the

very beginning I had eggs with loads of

veggies to adapt and ease into it so

play around and work out if you've never

done it before start with higher carbs

so maybe eggs and a few veg and just sort

of cut out the breads and the pastas and

the rice and the chips and the sweets

and all of that just start as as low as

you can cope with and then go lower

until you get to a point of being in

ketosis, that's what I found and also

actually definitely have a chat with a

health professional don't just go and

take my advice I'm sharing the

experience and what's worked for me but

definitely huge disclaimer go and speak

with a health professional with your GP

with your health professional of choice get

some blood tests done and make sure that

you are in a healthy space and that you

have your doctor's support, it can be

difficult with the whole low fat

dogma going around but people are

switching on to high fat and get just

speak with a doctor before going and

rushing into changing your diet okay

disclaimer over, so I'm sharing my

experience take from it what you want

what you will and experiment and see

what works so yes definitely lower carbs

and I managed to on the first day back

to 18 net carbs but first day when I

started six seven eight months ago I

was having

having probably around the 50 gram mark

when I was starting because I wasn't

used to it now I'm kind of used to

having 18 net grams of carbs it's

definitely on the low you wouldn't want

to go any lower than that it's

definitely on the lower side of carbs but

between 18 and 50 once you're starting

out and find your sweet spot that you

feel good you get into ketosis and you

lose weight and that's going to be

different for everybody so yeah number

one lower your carbs number two increase

your fats because this is a low carb

high fat and as I said before the whole

low-fat dogma the whole low-fat industry

its kind of brainwashed us all into

thinking that fats are the devil and bad

for you, well I lost 16 kilos or

30-something pounds on low carb high fat

way of life I feel awesome I've never

been healthier never been happier

so that is thanks to lowering my carbs

and increasing, my the cat has just come

and he's bumped me you don't want to see

the mess of this room but he's just done

to me so I get distracted easily...

lower carb high fat, so I cook

everything in butter and I add more

butter I have hot chocolate in the

morning I add butter to it through the

day I have mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese.

I've shared heaps of videos on

increasing your fats and ways to increase

your fat just have your meal your meals

on low carb high fat your macros, oh he's

trying to jump him up, Oh cat okay he's

had his moment, and your carbs are about

5% your protein 20 to 25% and then the

rest is fat so we're talking 70 to 80

grams of fat everyday 60/70/80 depending on

exactly how your macros and so that's fat

high, carbs low that's number one number

two, okay number three is your

electrolytes so important for your

electrolytes I'm talking salt potassium

magnesium you need to keep these up when

you're on keto because processed foods

and all the foods that you eat that are

carb filled are full of all of those

ingredients, made up of all those elements there's

salt in everything and that's process

when you're having unprocessed foods and

you're not eating packaged

snacks and foods you are going to miss

out on your salt magnesium potassium and

again speak to your health professional

and get some supplements it is so

important otherwise you will feel awful

I take a supplement every day with

magnesium and potassium in it and other

vitamins and minerals and then I have

vegetable stock, I went searching for a

vegetable stock that had as little nasty

ingredients with as natural as possible

and it's full of salt I found the

highest salt one I could and I find

having, I have a cup of stock cubes

in half and I have half the stock cube

in a cup of boiling water and I have it

pretty much every day and I feel good

and days when I don't have it sometimes I

actually wake up through the middle of

night with cramps or I've woken up feeling

really dizzy and it's because I didn't

have my salt so yeah definitely is so

important to hit your salt levels up so

electrolytes is number three having your

electrolytes good will help you get into

ketosis and help you feel amazing and

awesome and not have awful keto flu

feelings and number four we're moving

through this nicely, number four is water

no matter what diet you're on and no matter

what you, you're doing for drinking water

is important but even so, more so on keto

we need to flush out our system we need

to just it's so important to drink water

and I always have a bottle of water with

me and I'm drinking water like a crazy

person I find I'm thirstier yeah but I'm

also just I just know it's so important

so drinking water is so important to get

into ketosis to stay in ketosis and to

keep you healthy so just drink water

have a bottle of water with you at all

times

drink a cup of water with meals just

drink water, water is so important, number

four and number five is one which I am

always hesitant to, that if you know me and

even following my channel, that is to

move to try, and do a smidge of exercise

I very very late to adding exercise into

my keto diet journey it's only been the

last month or two that I've had the urge

to move and it's really, my exercise

has been walking and yoga and I have

this DVD of ten minute kickboxing

workouts which for me ten minutes is

like

maximum of exercise activity time, so I'm

not talking go out and go crazy with

exercise I found the last few days just

doing my 10 minute workout just moving I

feel really good and it helped me also I

feel get into Ketosis so it can just be

walking it doesn't need to be crazy I

know that people do cardio and

weightlifting

I personally haven't gotten to that my

Husband does that side of things

I don't, yes I know I said before I

probably should do a little more

exercise or do exercise at all but

definitely moving is another

element of the whole package of getting

you into ketosis and of staying ketosis

of getting healthy and staying healthy.

So there you go those are my five tips

to help you get into ketosis to stay in

ketosis I'm in Ketosis now and I just

love this feeling this energy I wake up

with energy rather than feeling

exhausted I've been waking up the last

six weeks I've forgotten how it feels to

wake up and feel exhausted to have a

10:00 a.m. slump and 3:00 p.m. slump now

I'm just no more slumps I feel energy I

feel awesome and I'm looking forward to

getting back on the weight-loss train

and I'll share that side of things with

you as well, so there you go thanks so

NSA DOCUMENT ADMITS EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT - Duration: 5:06.

Big Brother Is Still Watching You: Don't Fall For The NSA's Latest Ploy

�You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that

every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.��George

Orwell, 1984 Supposedly the National Security Administration

is going to stop collecting certain internet communications that merely mention a foreign

intelligence target.

Privacy advocates are hailing it as a major victory for Americans whose communications

have been caught in the NSA�s dragnet.

If this is a victory, it�s a hollow victory.

Here�s why.

Since its creation in 1952, when President Harry S. Truman issued a secret executive

order establishing the NSA as the hub of the government�s foreign intelligence activities,

the agency has been covertly spying on Americans, listening in on their phone calls, reading

their mail, and monitoring their communications.

For instance, under Project SHAMROCK, the NSA spied on telegrams to and from the U.S.,

as well as the correspondence of American citizens. Moreover, as the Saturday Evening

Post reports, �Under Project MINARET, the NSA monitored the communications of civil

rights leaders and opponents of the Vietnam War, including targets such as Martin Luther

King, Jr., Mohammed Ali, Jane Fonda, and two active U.S. Senators. The NSA had launched

this program in 1967 to monitor suspected terrorists and drug traffickers, but successive

presidents used it to track all manner of political dissidents.�

Not even the passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the creation of the FISA

Court, which was supposed to oversee and correct how intelligence information is collected

and collated, managed to curtail the NSA�s illegal activities.

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, George W. Bush secretly authorized the NSA to conduct

warrantless surveillance on Americans� phone calls and emails.

Nothing changed under Barack Obama. In fact, the violations worsened, with the NSA authorized

to secretly collect internet and telephone data on millions of Americans, as well as

on foreign governments.

It was only after whistleblower Edward Snowden�s revelations in 2013 that the American people

fully understood the extent to which they had been betrayed once again.

What this brief history makes clear is that the NSA cannot be reformed.

This is an agency whose very existence - unaccountable and lacking any degree of transparency - flies

in the face of the Constitution.

Despite the fact that its data snooping has been shown to be ineffective at detecting,

let alone stopping, any actual terror attacks, the NSA has continued to operate largely in

secret, carrying out warrantless mass surveillance on hundreds of millions of Americans� phone

calls, emails, text messages and the like, beyond the scrutiny of most of Congress and

the taxpayers who are forced to fund its multi-billion dollar secret black ops budget.

As long as the government is allowed to make a mockery of the law�be it the Constitution,

the FISA law, or any other law intended to limit its reach and curtail its activities�and

is permitted to operate behind closed doors, relaying on secret courts, secret budgets

and secret interpretations of the laws of the land, there will be no reform.

Presidents, politicians, and court rulings have come and gone over the course of the

NSA�s 60-year history, but none of them have done much to put an end to the NSA�s

�technotyranny.�

The beast has outgrown its chains. It will not be restrained.

Moreover, even if the NSA could be reformed, the problem of government surveillance goes

far beyond the criminal activities of this one agency.

In fact, long before the NSA became the agency we loved to hate, the Justice Department,

the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration were carrying out their own secret mass surveillance

on an unsuspecting populace. Just about every branch of the government�from the Postal

Service to the Treasury Department and every agency in between�now has its own surveillance

sector, authorized to spy on the American people.

Then there are the fusion and counterterrorism centers that gather all of the data from the

smaller government spies�the police, public health officials, transportation, etc.�and

make it accessible for all those in power. And of course that doesn�t even begin to

touch on the complicity of the corporate sector, which buys and sells us from cradle to grave,

until we have no more data left to mine.

Consider that on any given day, the average American going about his daily business will

be monitored, surveilled, spied on and tracked in more than 20 different ways, by both government

and corporate eyes and ears. A byproduct of this new age in which we live, whether you�re

walking through a store, driving your car, checking email, or talking to friends and

family on the phone, you can be sure that some government agency, whether the NSA or

some other entity, is listening in and tracking your behavior.

Corporate trackers monitor your purchases, web browsing, Facebook posts and other activities

taking place in the cyber sphere. For example, every time you use a loyalty card at the grocery

store or elsewhere, your purchases are being monitored, mined for data, and sold to the

highest bidder. Every time you use your credit or debit card, or your digital �wallet,�

your transactions are being tracked. Uber�s ride service app knows where you are even

when you are not actively using the service. Even store mannequins are being used to monitor

and identify shoppers with facial recognition software.

Major cities are being transformed into �Smart Cities� filled with sensors in everything

from pavement to lamp posts, and all of that data is being linked together to monitor the

day-to-day lives of everyone in them. In some cities, even the sewage is being monitored

and could potentially be used to find out what drugs a household may have used.

All of your medical data in the near future will be constantly monitored, and while the

data is supposed to only be shared with your doctor, in practice it will be accessible

by any number of government and private actors. Microchips in �smart pills� can communicate

with tablet devices to ensure the elderly take their medications already exist. And

a transponder injected into the skin that contains a person�s entire medical history

has been approved by the FDA. Wearable health-monitoring devices likewise can be used to monitor you,

and the information collected can be used in a court of law. Smart toothbrushes can

monitor your brushing habits and communicate them to your dentist, or anyone else. Smart

alarm clocks can monitor your sleep habits.

Like all other devices relying on the Internet of Things (IoT) to communicate, these can

be hacked into by government and private corporations.

The �internet of things� refers to the growing number of �smart� appliances and

electronic devices now connected to the internet and capable of interacting with each other

and being controlled remotely. These range from thermostats and coffee makers to cars

and TVs.

Of course, there�s a price to pay for such easy control and access. That price amounts

to relinquishing ultimate control of and access to your home to the government and its corporate

partners. For example, while Samsung�s Smart TVs are capable of �listening� to what

you say, thereby allow users to control the TV using voice commands, it also records everything

you say and relays it to a third party. Same goes for Amazon�s Echo.

�Smart houses� filled with IoT-capable devices are just starting to come into play,

but by 2020 Samsung pledges that all of its devices, including its household appliances,

will be IoT capable. Such products include ovens, microwaves, vacuums (including robot

vacuums), refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers, as well as smart hubs

which coordinate everything. Coffee makers and toasters are also being made IoT compatible.

Smart TVs seemingly out of Orwell�s 1984 will also collect data and spy on you. Modern

gaming consoles likewise have internet connections, and those with cameras can be used to spy

like any smartphone or computer. Smart power outlets can turn your lights on and off remotely,

and smart thermostats work similarly.

All of them monitor when you�re at home or not, as can smart home security systems.

Wi-Fi routers can even monitor the inside of your home and distinguish between different

individuals in the house, while reading their lips to �hear� what they say. Other forms

of home monitoring systems for the elderly can be hacked and used by anyone.

Already the web-enabled �Hello Barbie� doll has been the center of a hacking controversy,

in which security experts disclosed a number of significant security flaws with the toy.

Other smart objects include smart golf clubs, which monitor the speed, acceleration, and

swing plane of your golf swing, smart shoes which track your location and can guide you

on where to go. Tostitos has even unveiled a promotional smart bag of chips which can

tell you if you�ve been drinking too much.

That doesn�t even begin to touch on all of the government�s many methods of spying

on its citizens. For instance, police have been using Stingray devices mounted on their

cruisers to intercept cell phone calls and text messages without court-issued search

warrants.

Doppler radar devices, which can detect human breathing and movement within in a home, are

already being employed by the police to peer inside a suspect�s home.

License plate readers, yet another law enforcement spying device made possible through funding

by the Department of Homeland Security, can record up to 1800 license plates per minute.

These surveillance devices can also photograph those inside a moving car. Recent reports

indicate that the DEA has been using license plate readers in conjunction with facial recognition

software to build a �vehicle surveillance database� of the nation�s cars, drivers

and passengers.

Sidewalk and �public space� cameras, sold to gullible communities as a sure-fire means

of fighting crime, is yet another DHS program that is blanketing small and large towns alike

with government-funded and monitored surveillance cameras. It�s all part of a public-private

partnership that gives government officials access to all manner of surveillance cameras,

on sidewalks, on buildings, on buses, even those installed on private property.

Couple these surveillance cameras with facial recognition and behavior-sensing technology

and you have the makings of �pre-crime� cameras, which scan your mannerisms, compare

you to pre-set parameters for �normal� behavior, and alert the police if you trigger

any computerized alarms as being �suspicious.�

Capitalizing on a series of notorious abductions of college-aged students, several states are

pushing to expand their biometric and DNA databases by requiring that anyone accused

of a misdemeanor have their DNA collected and catalogued. Technology is already available

that allows the government to collect biometrics such as fingerprints from a distance, without

a person�s cooperation or knowledge. One system can actually scan and identify a fingerprint

from nearly 20 feet away.

Radar guns have long been the speed cop�s best friend, allowing him to hide out by the

side of the road, identify speeding cars, and then radio ahead to a police car, which

does the dirty work of pulling the driver over and issuing a ticket. Now, developers

are hard at work on a radar gun that can actually show if you or someone in your car is texting.

No word yet on whether the technology will also be able to detect the contents of that

text message.

It�s a sure bet that anything the government welcomes (and funds) too enthusiastically

is bound to be a Trojan horse full of nasty surprises. Case in point: police body cameras.

Hailed as the easy fix solution to police abuses, these body cameras�made possible

by funding from the Department of Justice�are turning police officers into roving surveillance

cameras. Of course, if you try to request access to that footage, you�ll find yourself

being led a merry and costly chase through miles of red tape, bureaucratic footmen and

unhelpful courts.

And the FBI can remotely activate the microphone on your cellphone and record your conversations.

The FBI can also do the same thing to laptop computers without the owner knowing any better.

Government surveillance of social media such as Twitter and Facebook is also on the rise.

Americans have become so accustomed to the government overstepping its limits that most

don�t even seem all that bothered anymore about the fact that the government is spying

on our emails and listening in on our phone calls.

Drones, which are taking to the skies en masse, will be the converging point for all of the

weapons and technology already available to law enforcement agencies. This means drones

that can listen in on your phone calls, see through the walls of your home, scan your

biometrics, photograph you and track your movements, and even corral you with sophisticated

weaponry.

It�s a given that the government�s tactics are always more advanced than we know, so

there�s no knowing what new technologies are already being deployed against us without

our knowledge. Certainly, by the time we learn about a particular method of surveillance

or new technological gadget, it�s a sure bet that the government has been using it

covertly for years already.

If you haven�t figured it out yet, we�ve all become suspects, a.k.a. potential criminals.

As I make clear in my book, Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we now find

ourselves in the unenviable position of being monitored, managed and controlled by our technology,

which answers not to us but to our government and corporate rulers.

This is the creepy, calculating yet diabolical genius of the American police state: the very

technology we hailed as revolutionary and liberating has become our prison, jailer,

and probation officer.

So don�t get too excited about the NSA�s latest concession.

It won�t stop Big Brother from watching you.

PetSmart now owns Chewy? | What does this mean for the company and its customers? - Duration: 3:10.

Greetings and welcome back to Tough Toy Tryouts!

If you're new here, be sure to subscribe and setup alerts so you're always up to

date with the happenings of the channel.

So, if you haven't heard, PetSmart—the American brick-and-mortar pet store—just

agreed to spend $3.35 billion to acquire Chewy.com—the online pet item retailer that accounts for

over half the dog food sold online.

This is an amazing feat considering that PetSmart was valued at $8.7 billion when bought out

in 2015.

Assuming the deal goes through at the end of PetSmart's fiscal quarter, this will

be the most expensive purchase of an ecommerce business in history.

But what effect will this have on Chewy's current business model and strong focus on

customer service?

If you've watched my videos before, you'll know I reference Chewy a lot and there's

2 reasons for this.

The first is that their prices are often the best around plus they offer free 2-day shipping

on orders over $49.

The second reason is that their customer service is above and beyond what I'd expect from

such a large company.

No other company I've dealt with has taken the time to watch my videos and then thank

me on Twitter for my reviews.

On top of sending their most valued customers gifts and flowers, they also host daily Nerf

gun fights for their employees and allow pets in the office as well.

So, when PetSmart gets the keys to this place, will these trends continue?

Most business analysts are saying, "No."

The problem is that Chewy has only recently started seeing a profit.

Even with a projected $2 billion in sales next year, it will be hard for PetSmart to

maintain Chewy's current customer service excellence and great prices while making their

money back.

Will this motivate PetSmart to raise prices and trim the fat from Chewy's 3,700 employees?

We'll have to wait and see but at least Ryan Cohen—the current CEO—will remain

head of the company and he believes that Chewy will become an independent subsidiary.

I want to believe that this will be so but my pessimist side is tingling.

A lot of this will come down to how much influence Cohen will retain.

It's likely that he made this move to fulfil his wish to be not only the #1 online pet

food retailer—which they currently are— but the #1 pet retailer in the world.

This would include brick-and-mortar stores and pet services of which partnering with

PetSmart would surely help him do.

Personally, I believe that most of what Chewy.com is will stay relatively the same.

There may be some rebranding, restructuring and some repricing, but I think that their

customer service will remain intact.

There'll likely be even more products available online and inside PetSmart locations.

They just better not touch my free 2-day shipping!

So, what do you think will happen?

Will prices jump up?

Will Chewy's little touches in customer service that made them stand out continue?
