Hey, Rick Uzubell again from Cabaret Design Group, talking today about

'Bar Design - How To Design An L-Shaped Bar,' coming up!

How do you design an L-shaped bar? Design guidelines dictate where to place the bar gate

depends on the handling and cleaning a bar service glassware. Stay tuned!

In this video, I'll discuss three examples

of how to design a commercial L-shaped, coming up!

Space planning is the first step in commercial bar design, whether the

application is for restaurants, hotels country clubs -- you name it.

How to design an L-shaped bar is more dependent on the available space than any other factor.

The first rule in bar design is that glassware flows from left-to-right,

so that, when standing behind the bar, the bartender will always

have clean glasses immediately to his or her left and soiled glasses to the left of that.

Drink-making, the next step in the process, follows the same clockwise flow.

Therefore, the handling and cleaning of bar service

glassware is the first step in the flow of glassware.

This means that the return leg of the L-shaped bar is

normally placed at the left end, as seen by the bartender, looking outward, with

his or her back to the back bar wall.

In the L-shaped bar shown here, the

bartending process works like this: 1). The soiled glassware is returned by the

wait staff in tubs and accumulated in the underbar glass rack, designated here

as 'R/T' and shown in this photo; 2). As the bartender has time, he or she will

remove each tub and set it in the corner drain board and begin to remove the

individual glasses, where they are emptied into the dump sink, designated

here as 'DS,' rinsed, and then washed, rinsed and sanitized in the 3-bin sink,

shown here; 3). Upon completion, the glasses are placed in

racks and stored in other glass racks, designated here as 'GS,' where they will

be available for making the next batch of drinks.

For L-shaped bars, the bar service gate (or bar opening)

should be located at the end opposite of the bar

from the return leg, as shown here. There are other layout options available

for how to configure the bar equipment on the return leg:

another opening could be placed on the return leg, as

shown in this alternate example, but the bar would

have to be lengthened by 24" and one seat would be lost. A pair of hinged

gates is the only viable option for securing that end of the bar.

The best option for optimal bar design for the return leg is shown in this second example,

where a 45-degree corner creates a unique seating arrangement

that so many patrons love.

In commercial bar design, we normally recommend

automatic glass washers in lieu of 3-bin sinks, as they save at least 3' of

space and are much more efficient and produce cleaner and safer glassware.

How much do Flow Artists make? - Duration: 7:09.

Hey gang!

Drex here from DrexFactor.com.

So...a couple years ago I remember running across a blog post by the cellist Zoe Keating.

In it she laid out in fairly explicit detail where her income for the past year and come

from and how much it amounted to.

Even though I'd long since put my own professional music career on the backburner, it was still

really cool to see how she was earning a living and adapting to the digital landscape.

In the spirit of that, I'm going to do the same thing this year and share with you all

exactly how much this professional flow artist really makes.

Before we dive in, I just want to take a moment to give a shout out to the friends of the

channel!

Big thanks to Dark Monk, Emazing Lights, Flowtoys, Spinballs, and Ultra Poi for helping to make

the videos on this channel possible.

You can visit them all on the web by following the links down in the description of this

video.

Now, before we dive in I want to share a few caveats about the information I'm sharing.

The first is that I've had a lot of clients this year for a variety of different services.

I'm not going to share any of their names but I will share dates and amounts of payments.

The reason for this is that I want to underscore that live as a professional artist of any

sort is a very unstable one.

Sometimes you have more work than you can handle and sometimes you're eating ramen

and hoping for the phone to ring.

Second is that this is not by any means intended to be representative of the income of what

every professional flow artist makes.

For one thing I know of several artists whose income level is equal to or exceeds my own

who do it completely with performances.

I've made a few very specific choices in how I intended to focus my time this year

and the amounts that I've made through different channels reflects these choices.

Just because I'm making a specific amount through either Patreon or performance doesn't

mean that that's the maximum you could make if you wanted to try your hand at either one.

Third, I am a full-time flow artist.

I do not have a separate job from this so the number you're seeing is a reflection

of full time hustle.

It would be very, very hard to put these same numbers together by trying to do any of these

income streams part time.

Finally, I also know that making this kind of information available to the general public

is one of those things that is going to be an invitation for a wide variety of criticism.

I make no claims to be the best businessman, the best fundraiser, the best performer, the

best anything in the flow arts.

The one and only statement I'm making in creating this video is that I thought it was

cool to see Zoe Keating do this sort of thing and it made me inspired to see if anybody

in the flow world would also like to see data of this sort.

Are you better at this stuff than I am?

Outstanding!

Please share your numbers to that myself and others can learn from them.

So with that in mind I'm going to summarize what I made and go through it item by item

from smallest contribution to greatest.

I started off this year by shutting down my online store for making poi.

I made a video on why if you want to know, but suffice it to say that took away a major

source of my income.

I had a small amount of stock left over and I tried at least one experiment this year

in stocking the same kind of hippie cargo pants that I wear so often in my videos.

I managed to sell almost all my old stock but the pants themselves didn't sell very

well at all.

All told I made about $400 off my online store this year.

Next were festivals.

Since I was no longer vending poi, I raised my prices this year for my travel stipend

requests to offset the loss of income.

I knew it meant I'd travel to fewer festivals and I was totally okay with that.

Despite me increasing my rates, I still made it to five festivals this year.

My profit off of teaching at those events came to a total of $558 once you take out

the cost of airfare.

This was about 2% of my income.

Next up is my income through ad revenue on my YouTube videos.

I've been a YouTube partner for several years now, but this was definitely my biggest

year of income through the platform.

Not all my views on the platform get monetized.

I average about 97,000 views per month on YouTube but only 31,000 of those are monetized.

There's a very, very long explanation as to why but that would be better explained

in another video.

I made $1300 off YouTube in 2017 with an average of $140 per month, which I'm really happy

about.

I used to have a hard time making $50 per month so I'm going to call that progress.

This was 5% of my income.

Next up is affiliate income.

What exactly is that?

Well, when I shut down my online poi shop I switched over to a different income model.

I didn't want to make poi any more, so instead I created partnerships with companies that

did.

Basically, I have a unique code: "drexfact0r" with a zero instead of an "o."

And you can use this code at a bunch of different companies that do sell poi such as Flowtoys,

Lanternsmith, Ultrapoi, and Emazinglights.

If you use that code at checkout it tells them that the sale was my referral and thus

I get a cut and you also get a small discount on your order.

The company gets some promo, I get some income, and you get a recommendation from someone

you trust plus a discount.

Everybody wins with this system.

All told, I made about $1700 off of affiliate sales this year for about 6% of my income.

Next is a category that's a new income stream for me--paid tutorials.

I'll admit that in this category I'm being a little bit loose in how I'm defining it.

I've had people this year pay me to create custom tutorials for their own projects as

well as now using an online platform to sell my own structured courses.

These two things aren't really the same thing because in many cases the tutorials

I was paid to create were then distributed for free to the general public, but there

were a couple categories where I had to have some wiggle room or I'd have wound up with

way too many categories to have to talk about.

I made $3200 off of paid tutorials this year and it's something I'm going to be spending

a lot of time on in the coming year, too.

These made up 12% of my income.

Next is the very unhelpful category Other.

This was basically where I stuck everything that didn't have any kind of plan behind

it or that was a one-off deal that was unlikely to be repeated.

Some examples of things that wound up in this category include the workshops that I taught

in the East Bay after Burning Man, a few private lessons that I taught, coaching others on

the search engine optimization tricks that have helped my YouTube channel grow, and many

many others.

All told these added up to about $3400 of income.

Roughly 13% of the total.

Coming in at the second largest source of my income for 2017 was performance gigs.

These could be anything from corporate events to private birthday parties and the like.

I did a lot less performance in 2017 than I did in 2016.

Partially because I was focused more on my YouTube content and partially because I didn't

actively seek many of these opportunities out.

The months when I got the most gigs were April, May, and November.

My most lucrative month was January and my least lucrative month was July.

On average I made $300 per gig.

My total for the year was $7900 or about 29% of my income.

And last but least--coming in at the biggest share of my income for 2017 was my income

through Patreon!

This subscription service has been an absolute godsend for me, subsidizing my work on YouTube

and allowing me the freedom to create projects purely for the sake of creating them.

I started out the year with just under $600 of monthly income through the platform and

as of this month am earning over $800 per month.

All told, Patreon accounts for just over $8,000 or 31% of my income for the year.

If you've been keeping track, that means that my total for 2017 came to roughly $26,400

give or take.

There are a couple items yet to come in before the end of the year that I'm including estimated

income on, so the amount may change a little but only by a couple hundred dollars or so

at most.

So...that's what this professional flow artist made in 2017.

Want to dive deeper into the numbers?

I've got a short packet I've made available on my website that includes a lot of this

data--privacy protected, of course.

If you'd like to check it out, please click on the link in the description.

Let me know if this was at all helpful or informative.

And if you're also a full-time flow artist, I'd love it if you'd share this information

yourself so we can compare notes.

It's really easy to get embarrassed or scared to talk about money but honestly I think having

more information out there is never a bad thing.

Thanks so much for watching.

How Much You Should Walk to Lose Weight - Australia 365 - Duration: 7:31.

How Much You Should Walk to Lose Weight

Exercise is something wed all like to do.

But, actually making the move to get outside and walk to lose weight is a completely different matter.

The reason is probably that suddenly changing an established routine is complicated.

Substituting junk food for a balanced diet and exercise require willpower. But, most of all, it requires perseverance.

It is pointless to fulfill every little detail of the new routine the first few weeks and then return to the old sedentary lifestyle.

In reality, setting out to walk to losing weight is much easier than it seems. You dont have to invest on a luxurious gym or weight loss creams.

Do you want to know what you really need? Just one thing: TO WALK.

If you are tired of the accumulated extra fat and you have tried everything, but you cant make it leave your belly, its time to move.

You have to burn fat not in just one area but all around your body in order to fit smaller sizes.

For what reason should you walk? Walking is an aerobic exercise, which means that the majority of your muscles are at work.

Therefore, you can walk to lose weight by burning a high a mount of calories, oxygenating the body and maintaining healthy heart functions.

Who Can Walk to Lose Weight?.

It has been medically proven to be safe and healthy for anyone to walk.

Whether its people who are used to the exercise or those who have never done any kind of physical activity in their life.

Yet, it is recommended that you visit a doctor to confirm your state of health.

This way whatever physical alteration can be ruled out, whether its respiratory or cardiac.

How Frequently Should I Walk?.

You should act in accordance to your physical condition.

If it has been a long time since you have done exercise, avoid walking long distances.

Start off by walking short intervals (between 10-15 minutes) at a moderate velocity.

Or, you can begin by walking two times a week and slowly increase.

The key is to continue with the routine.

And if you walk at least 30 minutes daily and watch your diet, you could lose nearly 20 pounds in 5 months.

Use a Pedometer.

A pedometer is specifically designed to measure the number of steps taken during a walk, besides also measuring velocity, distance and rhythm.

This serves as an incentive to make us set ourselves a goal.

Such as, increasing the number and velocity of steps taken in a day in order to walk to lose weight.

You can also take it to work or have it on you while doing house chores.

At the end of the day itll tell you how many steps youve taken and the amount of calories burned.

You will also know if next time an increase in rigor is needed in order to reach your goal.

Benefits of Walking.

Improves the immune system, protecting us from illnesses.

Accelerates the metabolism, helping us avoid obesity.

Strengthens bones.

This way avoiding fractures and preventing osteoporosis.

Improves circulation and strengthens the heart.

Prevents stress, anxiety or depression due to the production of endorphins.

Recommendations.

Once you have visited the doctor, establish a goal, as long as you dont push yourself too hard.

Under any circumstance do not stop walking.

If you cant walk all week, then organize a schedule and establish small goals.

Use comfortable clothing and shoes.

Dont forget to warm up before you walk to lose weight, for at least 5 minutes.

Watch your diet, reduce fat intake and put to practice a healthy eating habit.

Maintain good posture: straight back, contracted belly and relaxed arms.

Control your breathing.

Inhale and exhale according to your rhythm of walking.

Note: Dont ignore your body.

In light of any symptoms of dizziness, high blood pressure or excessive fatigue you have to stop or reduce the velocity of your walking session.
