News on Youtube Jun 28 2018

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.

Monica de Bolle is a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and an adjunct professor at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.

Gonzalo Huertas is a research analyst at the Peterson Institute.

Strange Things About Catelynn Lowell's Relationship - Duration: 5:25.

It goes without saying that a lot of weird stuff can go down between two people together

for more than a decade, especially when MTV cameras are involved.

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
