so first of all I don't know how many people were here last year and heard me
give this talk or give a previous version of this talk okay a couple
all right good I'm glad most of you weren't here because things haven't
changed and improved quite as much as I would have hoped but that's okay what's
more important than ISOC my ISOC connection here is I have been the chair
of the NTP working group for a number of years and I'm also the chair of the
co-chair of the IEEE 1588 Security Subcommittee so let's just go ahead and
get started so the first thing it probably goes without saying that
accurate time needs good security for a long time the time community didn't
really believe this and then in the last number of years we've seen a number of
things that have proved otherwise along those lines performance has always been
the time community's key motivator we need precise accurate synchronized
clocks and you know time information is not secret so why why do we really care
it turns out where you get your time from and if it's been modified in
transit a number of these things actually turn out to be pretty important
the corollary to that actually turns out that good security also needs
accurate time and there's a number of security protocols out there that
actually depend on the fact that the clock is synchronized and you're
beginning to see solutions come out from a number of different places that
actually are sort of bypassing the time synchronization protocols that are out
there to sort of get that initial value of time from some sort of proven and
reliable time source so as I've already said security has not really been
a high priority for the time synchronization community in a long time
but a number of things have specifically changed I think over the last few years
at least the time that I've spent looking at this area first of all
there's a lot more interconnection and decentralization also we're seeing
increasing evidence of the impact of inadequate security the inner dependency
between security and time and then also it turns out legal and compliance
requirements one of the key people that's really been sort of pushing me to
try and get this done has a number of legal issues that would they
would like to see and the only time I've actually ever been called by somebody as
a potential witness in a case had to do with time synchronization and security
which fortunately I was unable to given my job my previous job I was
unable to actually help out in that case something that I was not too terribly
sorry about so first of all as we have seen in the news many many times
attacks are occurring the most notable one are the various ways that NTP can be
used as an amplification attack I'm going to talk about two time
synchronization protocols throughout the course of this presentation
NTP and PTP most NTP is the most widely deployed and it's the one that you're
going to see all of the security attacks on PTP you haven't really seen a lot of
security attacks on yet I think primarily because of where it's deployed
and the scale of its deployment but as we've seen in any number of other
technologies as that scale increases and as the people become more aware of it
then it will also become a target vulnerabilities are constantly being
discovered I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Network Time
Foundation they maintain the NTP code base and in the last year or two talking
to them they have seemed really frazzled about the number of vulnerabilities that
they're getting reported to and a fair amount of frustration about not being
able to get to some of the new and interesting things that we're interested
in working on because they're spending all of their time addressing
vulnerabilities so also research is occurring I'm definitely not an academic
but I can tell you that a number of conferences recently there have been
papers this one actually was from NDSS in San Diego and this one was
specifically dealing with some time issues and there been a number of others
have been published I've seen some published at USENIX and a couple other
conferences this one in particular is going to be presented at the Advanced
Networking Research Workshop that's going to be held in in Montreal in
conjunction with the IETF so all of this research is
occurring and yet after all of this time and after 8 plus years we still have no
new specifications for time synchronization
security and on the one hand I find this terribly frustrating and on the other
hand I feel a tad bit guilty because I have actually been involved in all of
these activities so it is way past time to secure time
there are multiple sources of problems there are flaws in operations so things where the
protocol is configured or implemented in a way that causes issues there are
weaknesses in the NTP protocol itself that can be exploited and then finally
there's the fact that there's there's no adequate security mechanisms built in so
I think a lot of times at least initially when we started looking at the
security problem we were all gung-ho to go to find a security mechanism but a
good portion of the attacks and a good portion of the things that you're seeing
there have don't have a lot to do with whether we authenticate NTP or not they
have a lot to do with the structure of how NTP is built the the way that it's
deployed how it's configured it was originally designed in a world where it
was just a happier friendlier place and we didn't imagine that people would do some
of the evil things they think up these days
so the existing time security specifications for NTP we have
pre-shared keys built in but this mechanism does not scale at all
currently as NIST or USNO actually mails out the keys on a monthly basis to a select
set of clients the auto key specification was developed it was
immediately found to be flawed the IETF security community was not accepting of
it and it was published as an informational RFC with the mandate that
you all will go off and develop a standards track security mechanism for
ntp won't you any day now then IEEE 1588 came along version
1 had no security at all version 2 we specified Annex K which was an
experimental annex and it was published there was some initial testing done on
it and it was proven to be flawed and so now we're in the process of working on
version 3 and it will have a new security solution
now we have talked about requirements and I've often heard people say you spend a lot of time
talking about requirements you need to actually move on to the solution but
we've done a fairly detailed analysis of requirements and this has sort of become
the foundational document to at least be able to define what the
requirements are that are associated with time synchronization protocols in
general so now I'm going to move on to NTP and sort of the status of the time
synchronization security work there so the IETF approach to the problem has
been to look at all three of those areas that I talked about earlier in the flaws
and configuration and implementation of existing protocols in NTP BCP was
developed weaknesses in the protocol itself tweaks and clarifications we're
attempting to get some of those done we've also been sort of talking in the
background about potentially doing an NTP v5 and the lack of adequate security
mechanisms well that's the network time security which I will get to momentarily
so the BCP
fascinating looked at the wrong thing on here so I've actually
already spoken to this slide because I was looking at it over here but you get
the idea so the next one is the to go into a little bit more detail on what
these are the first one is the BCP it was proposed and I went ahead and put up
to give you all some sort of a sense of the timeline the on your right is from
the IETF data tracker so anytime you're interested in the history of a document
if you just go to datatracker IETF org and for every document that is in
process you can find the timeline for it and you can see where it spent more time
and where it spent less time so the BCP has had a lot of community
input and it should be published it has been submitted for publication it
contains a lot of the same information that you will find from any number of
vendors and operators out there that have published best
practices associated with NTP and particularly addressing the
amplification attack for NTP we're also in the process of updating a MAC for NTP
this is a really really short document but basically it says yeah we agree md5
is broken and maybe it's about time for us to replace it and I know that that's
a little bit overdue but that's what we did there the NTP client data
minimization draft was actually brought about by privacy concerns and the linkability
issue that's been brought more to the forefront in recent
years this draft is actually currently expired but we did have some recent
implementation experience with this at the -- there was a hackathon
held at the African Internet Summit a few weeks ago and one of their projects
was to work on an implementation of this so I think you're going to see a quick
resurrection of this draft and a publishing of it it's a very simple
modification to ntp that just clears out some fields that aren't necessarily
needed and finally we get to the NTS draft and I'm really working on a
positive attitude for this draft but I'm struggling a bit it's been quite a
chore to get where we are and we had an initial version that some
researchers from Germany went through and did and they published it or they
didn't publish it we put it out for a working group last call and the
security community just rained all over it asked us why we were reinventing the
wheel and we went back to square one and then we had the second one which we sent
out for working group last call last fall and the time community came back
and said what are you doing are you nuts and so we're now in the middle of
resolving the what are you doing are you nuts process
we as part of that one of
the real challenges with NTP is you have your server client model mode of
service which is a relatively -- there's a number of people who believe that's
the mode that most people really care about it's not the only mode that exists
though NTP also has symmetric modes and a broadcast mode and it turns out that
those are all different models of communication and finding a single
security solution that fits them all is proving to be really difficult so the
current draft which is draft 11 and I actually happened to be speaking to one of
the authors this morning I've been promised a draft 12 any day now and
that draft will -- the most recent few drafts the ones since the working group
last call we have gone in and we have basically agreed to focus this solution
on the server client mode for NTP only and this is a change it means that we're
not solving all of the modes of service for NTP but we figure for the people
that are operating NTP that care about security this would be a good first step
and I'll get to this a little bit later on but I think one of the cycles
that protocol development gets stuck in is the you know at some point you just
need to get something done you need to get something out there and
get it implemented and get experience with it or you're going to be stuck in
forever in this this isn't quite right loop you do run the risk of it being
fatally flawed but it wouldn't be the first thing out there to be fatally
flawed so anyway what does NTS provide integrity for NTP packets unlinkability
provided you're using the data minimization draft I've already talked
about a request response consistency which is to avoid replay attacks
authentication of servers authorization of clients and support for the
client-server mode only and basically as I have said the symmetric and the broadcast
modes have been deferred a caveat emptor
this has not been published yet and last
year I was talking to some people about this and I was convinced that we would
be done by this time this year and we would be talking about implementation
experience but that is not quite the case
so basically NTS is TLS for NTP security what it does is uses TLS to do the key
exchange and then it uses NTP extension fields to secure the packets with the
key that has been exchanged in the TLS handshake and I'm not going to go into
this sort of detail but these are the extension fields that have currently
been defined and they're one -- the proposal for the symmetric modes and the
others was a use of DTLS and so they were looking at TLS for the server
client modes and DTLS for the other modes the key here is the security
community really doesn't want us to go and invent our own security mechanisms
for good reason I think they've watched a lot of people
over the years get it wrong so here we are that's where we are with that and
I'm going to go quickly through IEEE and PTP because this one hasn't really
changed as much oh one other thing before I move on from NTP we do have for
the current draft of NTS we have a couple of proof of concept
implementations I we don't have an implementation that's running in a
deployed codebase yet we did a hackathon in March at the IETF and we're planning
another hackathon at the July IETF meeting and I'm really hoping that we're
going to get a production code base with an implementation in there it doesn't
have to be an implementation it doesn't have to be a production quality
implementation but I want a code base that is operational somewhere to have
this added into it and then we can do interoperability testing we did do
preliminary interoperability testing between the two implementations
that we had in March those two we were able to find some bugs we updated the
spec that's some of the the changes that you'll see in the version 12 which is
coming out any day now and the
I completely lost what I was going to say
oh so there were some some interoperability changes and we were
able to establish interoperability between those two implementations I'm
eager for anybody who was interested as a student that might want to try this
out we have we have lots of implementation opportunities here so
IEEE and PTP so PTP is probably not as big an interest to this community
as NTP but it is the other major time synchronization protocol out there it
does a lot more in in telecom networks in like factory automation type of
networks and also very precision oriented ones if you're interested in
this if you were to look up like White Rabbit for example White Rabbit is what
CERN is using to synchronize some of their components so in 1588 we defined a
multi-pronged approach where Prong A is to build security mechanisms that would
work with PTP then Prong B is to define external security mechanisms that might
be in place that we could use Prong C is to look at architectural mechanisms to
improve the security of the system and that was primarily redundancy and Prong
D is for monitoring and management and how you can use that to improve the
security of your system getting back to the whole point that it's not just about
the security protocol that's built
into those time synchronization
protocols it's really about the whole architecture and the infrastructure
that's around that so I'm not going to go into a lot of detail on PTP because I
do want to leave a few minutes for questions but so this
the point I'm getting to now is the Prong A piece which is the if you're going to
add security to a PTP packet this is how you do it so this is the modification
to the PTP packet to support security what you'll see here is some
authentication TLVs one that's called delayed processing and one that's called
immediate processing and then we have -- 1588 has the concept of TLVs and
there is a security TLV or a set of security TLVs that have been defined for
use with 1588 and so this is the the framework of the TLV I know you are
all going to study this quite deeply this is the PTP packet processing if
your and basically this says does it or does it not have a security TLV and
what you do with it and then this is the security process of course it's longer
and more detailed than the previous one if you ever been involved in the
IEEE standards processes and the IETF standards processes they're
completely different and then there's key management well so
what we have key management is always the tough problem so we have static key
management for -- static key management will make what currently is existing in
the specification work but of course again it's not scalable and then we have
what we're calling instant key sharing and delayed key sharing for GDOI and
for TESLA and this is basically the difference between are you willing to
trust the time information initially before you verify the security or are
you going to wait until you have verified the security before you use
the time information different environments will choose different
models one of the key differences between PTP and NTP is PTP has polling
intervals that are much much faster generally than NTP so NTP has come from
the perspective of a global Internet so it's doing things to reduce the polling
interval whereas PTP goes the opposite direction and it's like we you know send
as many packets as possible if you look at the IEEE 802.1 AS
specification which is essentially a profile of IEEE 1588
the polling intervals are much much higher than you would see an
NTP so in any event there's these two key sharing mechanisms since --
know the only thing that's actually normative in 1588 is the specification of the TLV and
how its processed and all of the rest of it is left to the informative which is
sort of the IEEE way of saying we're going to deal with that hard
problem a little bit later on to really have an implementable
solution with GDOI and TESLA is going to require some additional work
and some of this is going to need to be done in the IETF so there's instant key
sharing and there's delayed key sharing the external transport
mechanisms are MACsec and IPsec architecture guidance monitoring and
management best practices I've already talked about how am i doing on time
pretty close so final remarks um I really believe the time is now and I say
this because I think that we've been you know in the last week and a half I've
gotten an email from somebody who I knew is working in this area
who was like you know we're really interested in this we're ready to jump on
board now but we think what you've got is wrong and we have some proposals on
how to change it I have additional conversations with some other folks that have
been involved in the effort and they're like well we really think that this is
the wrong thing and we're going to redo the whole thing from scratch and a
proposal is coming any day now I think at some point you got to move forward
and I think now is the time to move forward so any implementers testers and
researchers are welcome especially somebody who has an outside perspective
that can help encourage the now a little bit now is better than the perfect
solution later and my motto for this whole activity at the moment is done is
better than perfect contact me if you're interested in helping I'd
love to have some things help acknowledgement and thanks I'm not going
to go through these but the paper that I uploaded when I put in this submission
was co-authored by Stefan Fries and Diieter Sibold Stefan has been the
primary driver of the GDOI solution and Dieter has been the primary driver of the
TESLA solution they aren't the reason why we have two solutions in 1588
they're the ones who help specify both solutions when the group couldn't decide
which one was the one they wanted to go with
and so finally any questions
[applause]
all right if you all don't have any questions feel free to contact me at any
point my slides will eventually be online I'm very sorry they aren't there
yet but they will be soon Thanks

Cross Cultural Relationships: 4 Ingredients for a Successful Intercultural Love Story - Duration: 10:51.
Salut Youtube! I've got my friend Dominique back with me again if you guys haven't
seen our video already on the expat perspective on the Parisian beauty codes
you can go and check it out up here but today we're gonna be doing something
quite different close to my heart close to our hearts literally which is
surviving, that's not a very nice word, thriving in bicultural relationships so what we've
learned so far about what works when you have a bicultural relationship and some
kind of tips and tricks because it's a very specific situation. You come from
completely different backgrounds maybe and then you throw into all that the
language aspect as well it's such a particular relationship we're gonna get
straight into it with a few things that we've learnt about being in these very
special relationships of ours. Yeah I think I mean when you're in a bicultural
relationship you have two people who come from very different backgrounds they probably
lived in two entirely different countries and throw on top of that
the you've grown up speaking two totally separate languages and I think it's
natural that you're both going to be approaching this common project which is
the relationship from very different starting points and I think the
foundation of a bicultural relationship is this will always be a source of the best
things in a relationship and also a source of your biggest challenges.
In order to make the most and really thrive in your relationship both parties have
to meet in the middle so that means to say they need to stay curious as to the
other person regardless of who is the party who's living in the country of
the partner I think both of them - both the host and the alien - need to make
an effort to stay curious be interested ask questions about the upbringing the
cultural reference points of the other party yeah you know to use an example
British culture obviously has a very strong very particular sense of
humor. The concept of banter something that doesn't really exist in France and in
order for my boyfriend to come to the UK meet my
friends get along with my family just even understand something as simple as
reading a magazine watching a TV show there's certain cultural currencies
that need to be understood before that. So I think it's important that although
I'm the party who's living in Paris and you know we speak French here and
we socialize with all of his French friends I really appreciate it when he wants to
you know sit down with me when I'm watching something silly
The Inbetweeners for example a comedy program which has made a big cultural
footprint on the UK. That's something that next time when it crops up in the UK or
in a different program or a different article he gets it. I mean just asking
your your partner about what were their critical life events growing up in
their childhood, what were their favorite movies, what impacted them growing up and
maybe like reading that book watching that movie what my boyfriend does which
I really appreciate is listens to our national news radio every single day on
his way to work as a little podcast for me that's such a nice sign that he's
invested. Stay curious about your partner's culture both of you and learn
about the cultural references and the pop culture that that make a culture a culture.
The next point is something that's quite close to my heart because
I'm gonna be completely honest this was a really big source of tension for our
bicultural relationship which is it's really important in a bicultural
relationship not to think that your life pattern the typical life pattern of your
culture and big life milestones and when they happen are going to happen at
exactly the same time and to give a little bit more concrete about this is
that you know for us in New Zealand a lot of them are married like 28 29 then
you start usually having kids early 30s like obviously it depends but this is
the general rule and in France that happens a lot later you know it would
definitely be worth investing some time into understanding
what's the cultural norms in terms of life milestones because more and
more French people aren't getting married or they have kids
first and get married afterwards and work that's so classic isn't it? That's fine like but I
just wish I had known that so that it didn't upset me. You think that you're an
anomaly yeah. I think that flows over into all areas of your life
as well I think in the UK the cultural norm is that you finish high
school studies 18 you would then go to university. The likelihood is that you would
choose university as far away from your parents as possible and probably would
never go back. You finish a degree get a job somewhere
and off you go, live in your flat share with your friends and meet someone
and that's that. In the France that's quite different that's not
usually the case it results in people staying at home living with their
parents and brothers sisters much later in a way that from an Anglophone
perspective and I see it with my English eyes I think that's weird. The way it works
it's a different timeline because you're a bit slower due to various factors you
know in France I feel people study a lot later this they start to do their
masters or even multiple masters yeah into 26 27 28. It's definitely learning
about these kinds of things and generally what you can expect
in terms of a life rhythm will be a really big help. So I think another
big point kind of goes out saying but it's important to mention as well is in
a bicultural relationship communication is key
regardless of your individual setup whether you're speaking your mother
tongue their mother tongue or mix half and half and I think you need to
emphasize level of transparency that perhaps you wouldn't go to such pains to
emphasize if you were with a guy or girl from who speaks your mother tongue.
You never assume that it's obvious yeah never assume it's obvious and you
know it's perhaps not as like sexy and romantic and mysterious as you imagined
but I think it's important to understand the boundaries and define
the relationship. Something as simple as like when you meet someone you're moving
forward with them with my UK mind you would not mention especially not early
on "oh so what is this? Are you boyfriend?
are you serious about me?" yeah like play cool keep going on dates if my
friends privately said so what's going on with so-and-so be like oh you know
we're seeing each other, it's casual, we'll see. It's important to understand where
you are a little earlier and to probably make it clear just come out with it ask
them and at least you know where you stand. And it doesn't necessarily get
easier with time so the most like explicit communication is important up
front but even long-term like my boyfriend and
I were basically trying to define what would make us happy in life and we
actually got to the point where because it wasn't working with the language we
like drew it out we're like okay this is what I imagine an ideal
life to look like. There's this element, this element and finally it clicked like okay
we're actually we're on exactly the same page. You were choosing what I
thought weren't the right words to say and I wasn't choosing the right words
but we want the same thing. It's what you perhaps would take as sure fire indicators if your were with
someone who's coming from your own background and your own mother tongue
might mean entirely different things or might not mean anything at all
My big takeaway from a bicultural relationship is if
you're expecting it to be the same as relationship had before when it was with
people speaking your mother tongue from your you know native
background it won't be you just accept that it won't be and if you expect it
will be and you try to turn it into that they will only be disappointed the
things that you engaged with perhaps and you were most important to you with
former boyfriends or girlfriends that is likely not to be the case you know what
you really connect on and what you love about them and what makes generates the
fun and the interest in relationship is likely to be totally different.
yeah it's unlikely to resemble anything you've had before.
That's so true and we were saying that that goes both ways
they may not live up to the idea you used to have of a boyfriend they'll be very
different and that's fine that's cool but likewise
you shouldn't try and mould yourself to what you think they're expecting.
I've asked this question to my boyfriend like why do you make your life so hard like
why are you dating a New Zealander from the other side of the world think about
it guys like where are we going to live? If we have kids, where is it going to be?
These are huge questions and I'm like oh wouldn't it
just be so much easier for you to date a French girl and when meeting their
parents and and meeting their families I feel like maybe I should be that perfect
French girl kind of approach to a girlfriend or to be as French
as possible and actually like the reason they chose
you is because you're different it's because you bring
excitement, adventure, you're something different, you're constantly learning
from each other so own it. Yeah you would always be something different
I'm convinced that you can spend as many years as you like in a country
be it 5 be at 25 you will never wake up one day and be a French girl
know for various reasons even if you master the language you can never make
up for a childhood and formative years that you had elsewhere so sure it's
great and you will assimilate and adapt to where you're living and the language
of speaking and work situations all kinds of other influences but I
think it's important to own who you are and who you were when they met you
yeah definitely you know at the beginning when they met you didn't
somehow hoodwink them into thinking you're French and they realised oh no she's actually foreign
do I really want to be doing this? They made that decision with their eyes open
then they jumped into. We could keep talking about bicultural relationships for hours
we wish we had you guys here to have like a coffee table we've
got a lot more that we could say but I hope this is an interesting indication
of you know what works well and bicultural relationships and some of the
key principles that allow them to thrive and obviously we
focused here I think on like navigating the tougher aspects of bicultural
relationships there are so many benefits to bicultural relationships, that's a whole
other video. Let us know what your experience has been
with bicultural relationships. It is a tricky one but it is worth it in the end
I think if you've put all that time and energy in. We'll let you know in 10 years!
well yeah we'll do an update video! Thanks for sticking around till the end
if you're still here and if you have any other video ideas for us to cover on
this particular topic just let us know! Otherwise see you guys in the next video.
A bientôt!

SURE Signs That Your Relationship Is Going To The Next Level! - Duration: 10:02.
22 Sure Signs That Your Relationship Is Going To The Next Level
22.
You never run out of things to talk about- Everyone will agree that love is the most
potent emotion someone can feel.
People pick their lovers carefully because they want to give their heart to the right
one.
Before getting into a relationship, we start off by getting to know each other and figuring
out who you're compatible with and deciding if that person is the ultimate partner.
But what matters most is if the feeling is mutual between both people, and usually, this
is fairly easy to know, everyone can sense if someone doesn't feel the same towards
them or if feelings aren't reciprocated.
For some couples, a sure sign that the relationship isn't going to work is if you both find
yourselves running out of things to talk about and the silence gets awkward, but if the relationship
is going well and the connection is real, you never run out of things to say because
conversation just flows effortlessly.
21.
You'll share inside jokes- Over the years or even months that you've known each other,
with even trying, the two of you will have created such a comfort level that it's almost
natural to have inside jokes with each other.
All the funny incidents and clumsy moments are the roots of the inside jokes.
If you are thinking about them only after meeting a few times, you are entirely ready
to take it up to the next level!
20.
The F word doesn't really bother you anymore- No I'm not talking about the word your thinking
of, but something more serious, family!
Getting someone to meet your family makes most people anxious.
But if you're seriously contemplating it, then you're most likely ready for the next
level.
Or maybe you have already met your partner's family, and you get along great with them.
If your partner gets along well with your family and they accept him and love them just
like you do then that is a great sign it's going to last.
19.
Their friends are excited to meet you- If your partner's friends are excited to meet
you, then that means they probably talk about you a lot to them.
That's always a good sign if they brag about you to their friends and talk about you all
the time this is a sure sign that they are all about you and focused on you.
This means they are interested in the next move.
And even better if your friends and your new love get along with each other!
18.
You use 'we' a lot- Saying things like "we should go see a movie together," or
"we should go on a trip sometime together," are all good signs that you want to move to
the next level, and you see that special person in your future.
Using "we" testifies both of you are being tight with each other.
If a lot of activities and plans include both of you, it's a signal clear enough.
17.
She often modifies your appearance- Maybe it's something as simple as buying a new
shirt or coming along with you for a haircut, but she definitely gives her opinions on things
about you.
It means you should look the part when you are with your partner.
It's not good to change yourself for the person your dating, but if they are showing
you what they like and don't like and giving their opinion about things on your looks,
stepping your game up on your looks is only going to make them more attracted to you,
so it can't hurt to keep up with the upkeep of your appearance.
16.
They have belongings at your place- They might come over to your place so often that there
bound to leave some essential items there, like a toothbrush, or a few pairs of clothes.
If this is happening, it means you two are comfortable with each other and are with each
other often enough that it would be silly not to have a few things left at one of your
houses.
If they have a designated drawer at your home, this a great sign the relationship is moving
to the next level in no time!
15.
You comfort each other- When your upset about something, you want to talk about it with
your special person and vice versa.
Both of you are emotionally connected that you'll depend on each other for support,
whether it be good or bad.
This is healthy in all relationships; it's always a good sign if your partner comes to
you when they've had a bad day, or calls you when they get off work on their way home
when their frustrated, this means they feel comfort and support in you.
14.
Agree to disagree- No matter how perfect a relationship is, some disagreement is bound
to happen at some point.
But what's important is that the spark that lights up your world doesn't go off.
Of course, you're allowed to not be on the same page and still be in love with each other.
Arguments are going to happen sometimes, and this is completely normal.
You'll always be learning about one another and figuring out how to deal with that person.
As long as feelings stay strong on both ends, you'll be totally fine.
13.
You think their quirks are adorable- When your with someone who has some annoying habit,
something that you could live without but when they are away, and that is one of the
things you miss about them when they're not around.
This is a sign your into the person so much that your willing to put silly or nerdy things
they do aside and just love to accept it.
Quirks are things that make us different from other people, and if the person is really
in love with you, they'll find your quirks to be one of the cutest things about you!
12.
You show them off on social media- Most of us today use Instagram as a place to share
and store our best photos of whatever you're into that day, and if your new love is in
the picture, well that's a good sign.
If your partner is posting photos of you or the both of you together to show off to their
friend and putting it out there for the world to see, this means they are not ashamed of
you and want to show you off to everyone.
It shows that they don't care that other people know that they are taken.
This doesn't mean that if you post your boyfriend or girlfriend that everything you
do is about them or your relationship.
But let's be real, Instagram is for bragging.
People show off their best photos and their best looks on Instagram.
This is so true that it should be in the Terms of Use.
11.
You trust each other- Being able to fully trust your partner is key and one of the most
important things to a lasting relationship.
If you and your partner are both totally confident you have each other's backs then that's
a very important signal that you're ready to take the next step as a couple.
This goes for things like when you both tell each other something in confidence, neither
of you shares the information with anyone even your best friend.
It's difficult to be vulnerable and share problems with other people, so when your partner
opens up to you, it is important that you don't break their trust.
10.
You support each other- There's nothing more comforting than knowing you're with
someone who supports you in all your good times and the bad.
If you think of your partner as your rock that is a super positive sign for the future.
Asking your significant other how they're doing without even sharing your own issues
or problems that day allows you to be totally available to them.
Listening to your lover's problems and lending an ear to them is a great way to get out of
your own head and let your partner know you are present to listen to them, and they'll
really appreciate that.
9.
You both take accountability- One of the biggest red flags in a relationship is a partner that
never admits when they're wrong and refuses to take accountability for their actions.
If you or your significant other do or say something wrong, apologize before it escalates.
If one of you are upset with the other, talk it out without getting defensive.
Realize and acknowledge what your part was and talk what you could do differently in
the future.
This could save you from a lot of arguments and possibly save your relationship.
If you're both able to do these things, then you can confidently take the next step
in your relationship.
8.
Satisfied with the level of intimacy- You can work through intimacy issues with your
partner, but you shouldn't move forward in a relationship if you're not happy with
the current level of intimacy.
Whether that means in the bedroom or outside of it because it won't magically get better
just because you move in together or get engaged.
A good sign is if you physically touch each other, whether it's a kiss, snuggling on
the couch or holding hands, even nonsexual touching helps build a connection between
people.
7.
You're both independent- In any relationship, it's important that both partners need to
have a level of independence and a life apart from their partner, even if it's just a
hobby or activity they like to do on their own.
In a healthy relationship, you can do your own thing without over stressing.
You should be able to do independent activities with friends and making sure you take care
of yourself and your own commitments without stressing or yearning to be with your lover.
Some time apart is always healthy, always remember not to forget about yourself in a
relationship.
6.
You talk about money- Money is a sensitive subject for many of us, but talking to your
partner about finances is key in taking your relationship to the next step and intertwine
your lives and your bank accounts, if your ready for that, your ready for the next step
when you both share similar financial communication, and there is a clear understanding between
both of you and who will pay for what.
5.
You feel safe in the relationship- Sometimes knowing you're ready for the next stage
in a relationship is just a feeling you have, and you might not even be able to explain
it.
When you start feeling really safe with the person you're with, like you can full be yourself,
and they still love and accept you, it's usually a sign you both are ready for the
next step!
No matter if you've been dating for a few weeks or a few years there's always room
to grow.
If you have felt like you want something more out of your relationship, don't be afraid
to voice it and talk to your partner about taking the next step forward together.
4.
You share similar values- In the early stages of a relationship, it's easy to get distracted
by the fun and excitement.
But in order to move forward into a more serious relationship, it's crucial to find out whether
or not your values line up with your partner's when it comes to the important stuff.
If you do have similar priorities in life, then consider taking the next step.
By discussing things like if you both don't want kids or don't want to get married,
it decreases any misunderstandings for your future together.
3.
Not stressed about your morning look- If you aren't stressed anymore about what you look
like when you wake up in the morning or about having food in your teeth or being intimate
without being shaved, because you know they think that you're attractive no matter what.
This shows your comfortable with each other and don't expect your partner to be perfect.
2.
You are yourself around them- When we meet someone new, we're presenting a version
of ourselves that is carefully acted out.
Most of us don't show our authentic selves the first time we meet someone; we usually
open up later once we feel more comfortable and figure out your comfort level.
But when we let go and show off who we really are it's because we trust the person in
front of us, and aren't afraid of scaring anyone away.
We realize that if people don't like or accept you for your authentic self than they
don't need to be in your life.
If the person you're dating fits most of these signs and loves you for you no matter
how silly or weird you might be, then what are you waiting for?
Break up with the single life and upgrade your relationship status to taken!
It might be scary, but the reward will definitely outweigh the risk.
1.
Your significant other praises you more than anyone else- It's easy to take people for
granted, especially the people you see every day.
But we all do things, and we deserve appreciation and praise even from someone we see all the
time.
The right person will see the good in you, over and over again.
And the right person for you is also always appreciative.
Not only will that make you feel good but it can help you be a better person because
sometimes being appreciated is the main reason we keep trying to better ourselves and grow
as a person.

Second time's the charm for rocky Argentina-IMF relationship - Duration: 8:09.
Second time's the charm for rocky Argentina-IMF relationship
Last Wednesday, the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Executive Board approved a three-year stand-by arrangement (SBA) for Argentina amounting to $50 billion, or 1,100 percent of the country's quota.
This time, however, Argentina has come to its doorstep with a coherent reform package that the government was already in the process of implementing.
It not only lends credibility and ownership to the deal, but crucially, it provides the political legitimacy that has always been lacking in IMF-Argentina relations.
This is a different Argentina dealing with a different IMF.
Typically, SBAs are limited to 475 percent of a country's IMF quota for the duration of the program — high access such as that of Argentina's newly minted agreement is only granted when specific conditions are met, and the board feels confident that Argentina will meet the terms of the arrangement, as well as be able to repay the loan.
Quick review: How did Argentina find itself again at the fund's doorstep? Argentina has a long and troubled history with the international organization, most notably exemplified by the fallout from the 2001 financial crisis, which led to a lengthy stand-off between the government and the IMF.
Prior to the current SBA, Argentina had not requested a fund program in nearly two decades.
The Macri administration inherited severe economic challenges from its predecessor, Cristina Kirchner.
When Mauricio Macri came into office in 2015, inflation was well above 25 percent, and a number of ill-devised subsidies had pushed the fiscal deficit to about 6 percent of GDP.
Given the severity of Argentina's problems, the new administration decided on a "gradualist" approach to economic adjustment, which meant adopting corrective measures over the course of several years while holding social spending steady and avoiding harsh measures that might increase the risk of recession.
The evaluation at the time, including by market participants, was that gradualism was the only politically viable option in a country that had seen much social unrest over the failure of past economic programs.
This said, there was a fundamental issue within Macri's economic policies: While the central bank adopted contractionary monetary policy to bring down inflation rapidly, the executive, concerned with social protections, was much less conservative on the fiscal side, allowing sizable deficits that were funded through external debt issuance, including the famous 100-year bond issued in 2017.
Argentina's positive tide turned in April, when skittish investors, fearful of the global repercussions of a potential U.S.-China trade war combined with expansionary fiscal policy in the United States likely raising U.S.
inflation and interest rates, started to pull their money out of emerging markets.
Soon, Argentina's underlying macroeconomic challenges came to the fore, accelerating the run on the peso.
Attempts by the central bank to stem currency pressure proved unsuccessful, and ultimately the government was forced to turn to the fund for financial support.
The recently approved program tries to address many issues that contributed to failure in producing the right amount of adjustment in the past.
On one hand, the program front-loads a significant amount of financial support: $15 billion, or 333 percent of Argentina's quota, was made immediately available, contrasting with past programs when disbursements were directly tied with having achieved agreed targets.
The Macri government has insisted that it does not intend to draw on the remaining funds, thus treating the remainder of the arrangement as "precautionary," i.
, as a credit line that they could draw upon if needed at a future date.
On the other hand, recognizing the political sensitivity of a fund program with Argentina, the IMF has placed great emphasis on protecting the more vulnerable segments of the population by supporting well-designed social programs and spending.
Previous IMF programs with Argentina largely ignored the effects of fiscal consolidation on social spending and the inevitable political backlash that they ultimately faced.
Most importantly, however, is the fact that this time Argentina already had its own adjustment plan, rather than having to accept one devised by the IMF.
That plan, prior to the turbulence that led Argentina to seek financial support, had received wide praise and support from the international community, notably from the IMF itself.
It is hard to exaggerate how important — and unlike past programs — it is to have the adjustment and reform package designed by the country authorities themselves.
Looking ahead, Argentina faces significant challenges.
President Macri has endured substantial criticism following his decision to request IMF assistance.
It is also noteworthy that he is up for re-election in 2019, and his political fortunes may lie in the success of the current program.
But, when all is said and done, Argentina and the IMF in the 21st century have a much better chance of getting it right than they ever did during much of the latter half of the 20th century.
Let that be a cause for hope.

Out of all the Teen Mom OG stars, Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell are the only couple as
of June 2018 who are still together.
As strong as their relationship might seem, these two have had their fair share of ups
and downs.
From body-shaming to social media antics, here are some of the strange things about
Catelynn Lowell's relationship with Tyler Baltierra.
Body-shaming
If you've followed Lowell's story throughout the years, you probably already know that
she's struggled with self-esteem issues.
"I wouldn't blame Tyler, like seriously if you wanted to just divorce me."
According to Hollywood Life, after gaining about 20 pounds within the first few months
of being pregnant with her daughter Nova, Lowell found it difficult to lose the weight.
Still, Baltierra thought she should get fit ASAP.
During a conversation about Lowell potentially joining Weight Watchers, Baltierra interrupted
to point out the size of his wife's quesadilla.
"Obviously, I don't want no heifer for a wife."
Unsurprisingly, Baltierra received a lot of flak for his offensive remarks.
Things got so bad, in fact, that he apologized publicly, tweeting,
"Currently in therapy to work on my delivery of messages & opinions.
Yes I know I'm a prick but I admit it instead of defend it #ImAnA--hole."
Awkward family ties
One of the oddest things about Lowell's relationship is that her mom, April Brockmiller, was married
to Baltierra's dad, Butch Baltierra.
As awkward as it may be that Lowell and Baltierra were step-siblings, it's important to note
that they were together first, and they were the ones who introduce their parents to each
other.
Brockmiller and Butch decided to tie the knot in 2009, but their relationship was anything
but smooth.
According to People magazine, the pair's union was pretty much doomed from the start, from
violent fights to issues with drug addiction.
In November 2013, Brockmiller filed for divorce from Butch while he was in prison.
The good news for Baltierra and Lowell is that this breakup means they are no longer
step-siblings.
Social media antics
Although Lowell has lashed out at fans for creating rumors about her life, she appears
to play a key role in the drama.
When Lowell changed her Instagram name from "Catelynn Baltierra" back to "Catelynn Lowell"
in May 2018, the surprising move sparked a frenzy among fans who theorized Lowell and
Baltierra were done.
But a few weeks after the random change, Lowell took to Instagram to send a sarcastic message
shutting down the rumors, captioning her photo with:
"But we are getting a divorce.
#nothingcanstopus."
Not safe for work
It's one thing to spice things up in a relationship by privately sharing risqué photos with each
other, but Lowell apparently has no problem sharing sexy shots of Baltierra with millions
of followers.
In March 2018, Lowell tweeted a shot of Baltierra in a towel, captioned:
"NuffSaid [with the hashtags] #myman #gethome [and] #sexy"
Some fans found it odd that Lowell would share a private photo of her spouse with the world.
One user wrote,
"That is inappropriate for the world to see when you're married.
You're obviously looking for attention from others."
Baltierra, however, found nothing strange about Lowell's post, responding,
"Better watch out Babe, people are SUPER sensitive these days with their conservative opinions
about us flirting on social media LMAO!
It must be very uncomfortable walking around everyday with that stick up their asses.
LOVE YOU!"
Cheating jokes
Cheating allegations, whether true or not, are no laughing matter.
However, Baltierra has no qualms about downplaying rumors of marital discord with jokes.
According to In Touch, after a fan on Twitter asked how many times Baltierra cheated on
Lowell, he responded,
"More times than I could count."
If you ask the couple's followers, his joke wasn't so funny.
One user posted in a Teen Mom OG subreddit,
"Why make a joke out of cheating, knowing that Catelynn is already feeling insecure
and will most likely be upset by the comment?"
To be fair, Lowell also cracks jokes about the allegations.
Following a period of cheating rumors, she captioned an Instagram photo of a delicious
looking cocktail,
"Whelp, since he's out cheating."
Unbalanced?
Some fans have pointed out that Lowell and Baltierra's relationship might be unbalanced.
According to users of the Teen Mom OG subreddit, the evidence centers around the fact that
Baltierra seems to do the heavy lifting when it comes to the couple's responsibilities,
like raising Nova, household chores, and handling business.
What viewers might not realize, however, is that Lowell's mental health issues often prevent
her from helping out at home and being there for Baltierra, like when she checked herself
into an Arizona-based outpatient facility in November 2017 to deal with her dark thoughts.
It's also important to note that Baltierra is supportive of Lowell, and encouraged her
to return to treatment in January 2018.
Lowell's well-being is a priority, and it's great to see that Baltierra is understanding.

Jersey Shore's Sammi Sweetheart Calls Boyfriend Her 'Better Half' amid Ronnie's Relationship Drama - Duration: 3:38.
Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola is happy in love. The MTV alum flaunted her affection for boyfriend Christian Biscardi on Instagram Wednesday, leaving a sweet comment on one of his posts
Biscardi posted a selfie of himself with Giancola on his account, writing, "I will always be the worst looking person in every picture we take and I'm okay with it
" Giancola, 31, quickly took to the comments section to prove she equally smitten with Biscardi
"You're my better half," she wrote, alongside an emoji of two people holding hands
Giancola has been dating the fellow New Jersey native for over a year. Giancola's former Jersey Shore costar and close friend Deena Cortese also showed her support for the relationship with a classic Friends reference
"So happy you found your lobster," she wrote. Cortese recently opened up to PEOPLE about Giancola's decision to skip the Jersey Shore reboot
"She is doing great and building a house with her boyfriend and happy in her relationship," she said
"I think she is glad she made the decision not to come back." Ahead of the Jersey Shore Family Vacation's premiere in April, Giancola explained that she chose "not to join the show this season" to try and "avoid potentially toxic situations," presumably referring to her ex-boyfriend, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro
"I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my business and my relationship," she wrote
"I am not the same as I was when I was 22. At 31, I am extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially awkward situations
" Giancola and Ortiz-Magro's tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship lasted eight years, three of which were captured on the original run of Jersey Shore from 2009-12
While Ortiz-Magro previously told PEOPLE that "it sucked" Giancola didn't film the reboot, he admitted that not having his ex around wasn't all bad
"On the one hand, it sucked because we all started this together so we wanted to end it together," he says
"But at the same time, it worked out better for me because it was just less drama for the house
Less fighting and bickering. Who really wants to live in a house with their ex? That's just the most uncomfortable feeling in the world

Hailey Baldwin Is Being Petty AF By Flaunting Her New Relationship With Justin Bieber Best Ever Done - Duration: 3:36.
Hailey Baldwin Is Being Petty AF By Flaunting Her New Relationship With Justin Bieber And It's The Best Thing She's Ever Done
I never thought I'd come around to seeing the appeal of all of the hype surrounding Instagram "it" girl, model and Kendall Jenner bestie Hailey Baldwin, but now I understand why she has such a dedicated fan base.
Initially, I lumped Baldwin in with every other young Hollywood starlet with celebrity parents as an entitled rich kid with no boundaries or understanding of how the world works outside of their gilded bubble.
Often shy with the press and closed-off in promotional interviews, I assumed that Baldwin had the personality of a wet blanket as a result of growing up in an environment where no one told her "no.".
Now, freshly flaunting her rekindled romance with former fling Justin Bieber, Baldwin is emerging from her shell and the gloves are coming OFF.
Hailey Baldwin is being petty by flaunting her new relationship.
From the ashes of #Jelena rises #Jailey, the OTP ship hailed by legions of stans as the ultimate pairing for pop star Justin Bieber.
Apparently, Baldwin actually has strong feelings for the Biebs and is darkly amused by the thought of Gomez watching their relationship blossom from the sidelines.
"Hailey is loving all the PDA with Justin and she knows that Selena [Gomez] is watching, which makes it even better.
[She] has wanted this with Justin for years," said a source close to the IMG-signed model.
"Hailey would see how happy Justin seemed with Selena and it was hard for her to watch.
Now, that the tables have turned, Hailey is sure that Selena is watching too, just as she did," the insider continued.
The fact that Baldwin is so protective of her man and her new relationship makes me like her so much more because it makes her human instead of coming off as some blonde clone from the Hollywood hills.
Also, the model should not stop flaunting her PDA-heavy romance with her pop star boyfriend just because she's concerned with what his equally famous ex may think.
I mean really, who HASN'T stalked their crush/new partner on social media to make sure they aren't liking pictures of their exes? It's completely normal to both compare yourself to your new beau's ex to see how you measure up and to rejoice in the fact that now, you're in the hot seat beside the partner you've been crushing on.
I always appreciate a solid dose of petty pie and right now, Baldwin is undeniably serving up seconds.

Brad Pitt is 'not ready to leap into a serious relationship with MIT professor Neri Oxman as he - Duration: 4:18.
Brad Pitt is 'not ready to leap into a serious relationship with MIT professor Neri Oxman as he focuses on his six children and career'
He was rumoured to have embarked upon a romance with MIT professor Neri Oxman, in his first serious relationship since splitting from Angelina Jolie.
But it has been claimed that Brad Pitt isn't looking to settle down anytime soon, with sources telling Entertainment Tonight the actor is not in a official relationship with Neri, 42.
The actor, 54, who shares six children with ex Angelina, is said to want to focus on fatherhood and his career.The source told the website: 'He has gone on dates but he's not looking to leap into a serious relationship at the moment.
He is content on his own and enjoys the quality time he spends with the children when he isn't working.
'He is focused on two of the most important things he should be focused on, and those are his children and his work.
Being a father is his number one job and he knows that.
He will always be there for those children.' They added: 'He's spending more time out and about socialising with his close friends, but he also is still a homebody and appreciates hanging around his place.'.
Massachusetts Institute Of Technology professor Neri was rumored to have started up a relationship with Brad at the beginning of the year.
The Se7en star and the 'genius' were reportedly talking 'on the phone several times a day and were very infatuated with each other,' according to US Weekly.
The source added that both have busy schedules, which will be 'a huge challenge because Neri isn't going to give up her life in Cambridge or her job at MIT for anyone, even Brad Pitt.
The movie star lives in Los Angeles and the American-Israeli professor, designer and architect lives on the East Coast.
Their insider added that despite the long distance romance, Brad and Neri 'were going to have fun and see where it goes,' and not focus on the future.
The actor was said to be 'absolutely smitten' by Neri, and 'glowing' when talking about her to his friends, US Weekly wrote.
Brad was previously in a relationship with actress Maleficent actress Angelina, 43; they were married in August 2014 but began a relationship in 2005.
The duo, who split in September 2016, have Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, nine.
They are currently in the process of finalizing their divorce.
A spokesman for Angelina recently revealed that new custody terms have been agreed allowing Brad, more access to the duo's children, including a summer schedule which gives the actor substantial time with the kids while Angelina films in the UK.
Jolie has primary physical custody of their six children and has been told by a judge that she must let Pitt see the kids regularly while she films Maleficent 2 in the UK this summer.

16 Teeth and body are closely connected Teeth relationship therapy ※ With captions - Duration: 5:23.
Case report 3
A lady in old age
With trismus, she can only open two fingers
In the case of patients like this lady
We usually do what we call a sprint
something similar resembles a board between the teeth
I think many people do this.
but it is still difficult to solve this problem
many again have the same problem
so I think it's hard to completely cure people
who has trouble opening his mouth
How many fingers can you open?
Two
Enter two fingers
But with that I already feel a pain here
I understand, so you feel pain when you try to open a lot.
When opening the mouth, the patient feels pain in the joint of the jaw
Then the yuragi examination of the mandibular condyle
First the left side
Pressing in multiple directions
checking to see if it locks when
On the left side there was no direction
And then the right side was examined
On this side was found a direction in which it locks
That is, the yuragi in this direction is absent
Is this side more difficult to move?
That's right.
That's it, this side is without yuragi
There is difficulty moving the jaw in this direction
and there is a muscle related to it
it's in this book
It is the largest right round muscle
In this book it is written that it can not put force in this muscle
Let's examine this muscle
As there is a problem in the right mandibular condyle
the yuragi exam is performed on the related muscles
Here you can put strength
Here you can not
Not here either
Did you notice that in this position you can not force yourself?
It has been found that there is an abnormality in the central region of the larger round muscle
Having difficulty opening your mouth
The fact of being with absence of yuragi in the back direction
is related to the problem in the greater right round muscle
Now we will see the relation of this muscle to the supporting bone
This is also written in this book
It is the navicular bone of the right foot
It is written that if you push that bone forward, 20 degrees inside
You'll be able to open your mouth.
Let's try to do this.
First it is verified by touching the place
Sit in straight posture
open your mouth and try putting two fingers
I managed to put three fingers
We then verify that this location is related
Put three fingers
Then the right navicular adjustment was made
Now that I've made the adjustment, can you open your mouth a little?
It's opening a lot.
put your fingers
I think it comes in
it's open enough now
After adjusting the support bone
You can see how the muscles related
Once again
Now over
Do you realize you're getting the power?
Yes, I realize
Pain in the chin and neck
I did not imagine it was related to the muscle behind the arm
and I was amazed by this
This time we saw that by touching the support bone
she was able to open her mouth more
Before she could only open two fingers and started to open three
And the relationship with the supporting bone and the muscles ...
In fact the organs also ...
but we have seen that this is related to the muscles
In the matter of being able to put force or not in this muscle
we have seen that there is a relationship between the supporting bone, the muscles and the teeth
-------------------------------------------
1182D The relationship as the next one depends on the configuration ※ With subtitles - Duration: 6:19.
Brain information, I'm talking about medical information
I'm speaking medicinally ...
It's the brain then ...
That's not what I'm saying.
At the beginning of this person, became involved with this person ...
It's the MET
When you get involved, this person
this medicinally
if it gets physically involved
the question is how to think about that person as a whole
What I'm saying
are things like the CW Method
or what it means to touch ...
The person has 100% meaning, motive and need to exist
in relation to this
and because that meaning exists the person exists at the moment
Me too
And two people like that face each other.
And what is the reason for being face to face?
There is a reason for this person to be in front of me
And this reason I worked hard and I got to it
I have this awareness, so I did this activity
before doing these activities there were already these things
and so I went that way
and I've always had it in my life, have not I?
And then, within the existence of this person there was a line to engage with me
Above all this is here
I mean I'm doing this setup
All are only showing and people look at this and come
But you do not have it here.
And in medicine this is the premise
This part is completely different
For people like this I do not do anything
I do not do
From the start, he only gets involved with these eyes.
In case you get involved with this configuration
this now
It is ready
So from the beginning this person already comes with this kind of brain information
And I also have this kind of brain information
If what I did now was good or not ...
So if you now came left and right
the right side is small
and I checked this with my own sensor
And when others check
everyone also thinks the same thing
so it's quite
I do not know if I can say that this is medicinal
but from what everyone observes, the right side is small
There was this, but for me this is no problem.
No matter what everyone thinks
for me it's the right
As I do alone, then the problem is on the right side
Above that ...
And why is this so?
Before I put several questions in that order, did not I?
And the goal of this is to improve
so before that you need to know how it got like this
for this you need to read the brain information
and then create a current and then see how it will be from now on
And in relation to that ...
Person...
Point of divergence
From the past to the future
from the future to the present, the point of divergence between this
that's when I play
And what do we have to do right now?
So reading ...
Then there is the lateral cuneiform I said now
and the tibialis anterior muscle and then and find all this
and above that, then I do
In relation to this
is the result in relation to the future
If I do not go on picking up, it does not make sense.
And at that moment, absolutely ...
You can use what you have learned in medicine.
But it's usually different, everyone is like that.
What I do that is completely different
I'm almost all linked, almost all linking
Instead of saying that it is the person's brain ...
The brain is the meaning, motive and need that the person has, the beginning
how do you start from there
so I also start from there
so I'm always asking for this
Not for the person
The body is here
but what happens in relation to what I'm doing is from here
It is from here
You must be linked with this part
And then the person ...
I...
You need to link to that person
This is where Brain Reading begins.
This is the way of thinking for the CW Method
That's where it starts.
and then...
What was done now
in relation to the future
I ask how you're going to stay
and while I ask ...
It's good for this direction ...
And in relation to that I make the adjustment
The setting is ...
This line must be connected in one
This is the time setting.
The question is if this is connected ...
Now in August there will be the setting camp
While it's not connected ...
That...
This sensor
What was done now ...
In relation to this direction ...
I do not know how many months it will take to happen.
Can you pick it up ...
Can you capture why that's the way it is
And if you're going to ask how much that feeling is ahead ...
One week
some people say it's a week, some people say it's two weeks
Some say it's half a year.
or some say it's a year
and how am I catching this ...
It's good, it's okay
No, it still hurts.
Its not good.
In time it disappears
What is in the center, after a few months is going to be like this
In some year and in this season it will be OK
So I say this
There are multiple videos on YouTube
It is
This means that in this sense it is possible to say this way
because I'm picking
This is not quite what I got
but what happens in relation to what I did
in the end is the future
and this I'm already getting
and how much this has a high percentage, I've done many times
I did it many times and I already know
so I can say that
and I've checked many times if this really happens
and it really does happen
I mean I have this
I just want to do something for the next one.
I want to be able to respond to what they expect of me
Compensation, reason for living, helping others
I want to be the pro.
and I want to teach these techniques to the world
