Weve all heard of physical and mental health, but another important aspect to our overall health and wellbeing is social health. In fact, recently in the United States, the surgeon general revealed that social isolation and loneliness just topped obesity to claim second place as one of the top three killers in America.
Humans are highly social creatures, but that doesnt always mean that our social interactions are healthy. In this informative talk, Dr. Chelsea Shields, explains how our emotions can easily be high-jacked and then offers guidance on how to evaluate and level up our social health.
This presentation was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only a limited live audience of cast and crew members. While applause has been added to the beginning and end of the video, all other aspects have intentionally remained as filmed to honor the struggle and loss experienced globally during 2020.
Wardrobe furnished by Tommaso Cardullo. Dr. Chelsea Shields is a bio-social anthropologist, placebo studies expert, and runs a local consulting business.
In her academic work, Dr. Shields focuses on the evolution and elicitation of the placebo effect outside medical contexts. She coined the concept of social susceptibility to talk about how and why our human bodies have evolved to react, adjust, and adapt to specific social rituals, relationships and communities. Her work also investigates the evolutionary mismatch of modern human hyper-sociality and the health implications of a global, digital, 24/7 social network.
In her professional work, Shields runs a research and strategy business that specializes in qualitative, quantitative, and ethnographic research as well as creative ideation, branding, and user-experience design.
Dr. Shields is also a TED Fellow, 3x TED speaker, and teaches speaker training that is focused on the 90% of communication we never talk about: the non-verbals!

Герой выпуска – журналист, телеведущий, писатель Владимир Познер. На встречу с мэтром журналистики пришло много детей из журналистских кружков. Их интересовало, какой видится Познеру журналистика будущего, какие ошибки совершают молодые журналисты, как им предстоит приспосабливаться к реальности, в которой интернет конкурирует с телевидением. Владимир Познер не давал никаких футуристических прогнозов, напротив, заверил детей, что, несмотря на технологические прорывы, профессия журналиста остается неизменной в своей основе. По теории Познера, журналистике нельзя научиться, к ней можно только прийти с жизненным опытом. Лучше всего с таким богатым и наполненным невероятными событиями, как у самого Владимира Владимировича. Познер рассказал, как учил русский язык, какие кошмары мучают его во сне, что он сам считает своими достижениями и чего так и не смог себе простить.

Bhaktivedanta Swami describes the process of chanting the Maha Mantra as follows: Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition on the mind; this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity.… As such anyone can take part in the chanting without any previous qualification.
A documentary on the Glories of Govardhan Hill by Bhakti Caitanya Swami
The Vedic scriptures proclaim that the glories of Lord Krishna are unlimited and eternal and no one is able to reach the end of them. In the same way, who can fully describe the splendid glories of Sri Giriraja-Govardhana, the best servant of the Lord and at the same time non-different from the Lord Himself? To protect his dear vrajavasis from Indras wrath, Sri Krishna held the Hill on the small finger of His divine hand for seven days. The area of Govardhan is full of wonderful forests, lakes, caves, waterfalls, jeweled paths, platforms and pavilions. Lords most intimate pastimes places — Sri Radha-kunda and Sri Syama-kunda are located at the foot of the Hill. The Vaishnava acharyas and saints left us a great treasure of scriptures, describing the wonderful pastimes, which are going on eternally in the shade of Giriraja. Here are but a few drops of this nectar.
The holy place known as Mathura is spiritually superior to Vaikuntha, the transcendental world, because the Lord appeared there. Superior to Mathura-Puri is the transcendental forest of Vrndavana because of Krsnas rasa-lila pastimes. And superior to the forest of Vrndavana is Govardhana Hill, for it was raised by the divine hand of Sri Krsna and was the site of His various loving pastimes. And, above all, the superexcellent Sri Radha-kunda stands supreme, for it is overflooded with the ambrosial nectarean prema of the Lord of Gokula, Sri Krsna. Where, then, is that intelligent Person who is unwilling to serve this divine Radha-kunda, which is situated at the foot of Govardhana Hill?
(Sri Upadesamrita, verse 9)
«Of all the devotees this Govardhana Hill is the best! Or my friends this Hill supplies Krishna and Balarama, along with their calves, cows and cowherd friends, with all the necessities: water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers and vegetables. In this way the Hill offers respects to the Lord. Being touched by the lotus feet of Krishna and Balarama, the hill appears very jubilant».

NEPALI STREET FOOD feast in KATHMANDU, Nepal | Best MOMOS in Kathmandu traditional Newari food
Nepal is home to over 100 different ethnicities so its safe to say that the food culture of this country is immense and diverse. Were in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal to explore the food culture of this vibrant city. We start with a traditional Nepali breakfast at the bazaar of sel roti, gwaramari- a traditional Newari food and chiya (tea). We then head to a locals favourite for one of Nepals most beloved foods- momos (dumplings). We visit Patan, one of the three cities that make up the Kathmandu Valley to delve into Newari food- the Newar are the indigenous inhabitants of the Kathmandu Valley- and eat woh (often called bara), a lentil pancake at a hole in the wall Newar restaurant. We finish at a 4th generation family bakery that specialises in traditional Newar sweets and eat lakhamari, a sweet bread. We hope you enjoy this Nepali street food tour in Kathmandu, Nepal! #nepalistreetfood #nepal #nepalesefood

***********************************************************************
* STUFF FOR YOU*
We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a countrys culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
Were all about eating what and where the locals eat. You wont find food thats been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.
This video has every detail about the Kedarnath ji ki Yatra. This is the 5th Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva. This video is a summary of 2 day travel. We started the yatra from Sonprayag and went to Shri Kedarnath Dham and came back to Sonprayag. We did night stay near Triyuginarayan temple.
During my travel there in May 2019 — I noticed Vodafone and BSNL have network coverage at Kedarnath Dham.
Imp information:
There is a cloak room at Sonprayag, i showed that in previous episode Bhiri to Triyuginarayan.
Later on i realised walking on Galcier or snow was risky, i should have avoided, i will strongly suggest you to avoid walking at areas where there is a slope, just a slight miss and one will fall and this may be life threatening.
Following is the summary of distance to be traveled in this yatra.
Sonprayag to Gauri kund: 5 km, Rupees 20 per person on jeep.
Gauri Kund to Kedarnath ji: 16.5 km.
Base camp is 1 km short of Shri Kedarnath temple. Garhwal mandal vikas nigam has their Guest house and tent facility at Base camp.
While its not impossible to go and come back in a day to Sonprayag but difficulty level is high especially if you don’t have high energy level.
Services for travel to Kedarnath ji:
You can take helicopter services that cost around 6000, this can vary between 5000 to 8000 depending upon the distance from Sonprayag. Flight time from a place near Sonprayag to Kedarnath ji is 6 to 8 minutes.
Helipad is at a half a km from Shri Kedarnath Temple.
If you want to hire a porter or a person with a basket or if an old person wish someone to carry him on Doli, these facilities are readily available.
Pony: Yes you can travel on Pony too — charges Rs 2500 one side, if you decide to walk down and mid way feel that you need to take pony for this travel, then you can still get Pony for rest of the journey.
In my suggestion: It’s better to walk down, only thing you should be physically fit to do this trek of 17 km, as some places the trek is steep.
Best time to travel to Kedarnath ji — 15th August to 30th September.
Avoid travel in the month of May because its crowded.
Note: Try to book at Garhwal mandal guest house, there accomodation is neat and clean in comparison to other facilities available there. You can do the booking by visiting their website. gmvnl.in/newgmvn/index.aspx
We went there without any pre booking, it was May month we had to pay rs 4000 for double occupancy room, though that could accomodate 4 people as well. In fact demand for room in May month is much more than supply.
Things to carry: You can carry food, water bottle or just anything else you want to carry because food, water and everything else is expensive on the yatra route. For example a glass of Lemon water would cost Rs 20. A water bottle on the yatra route would cost Rs 50.
If you want to eat Maggi it would cost Rs 80 or so.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
Biometric registration: Initially i was wondering what is the need for Biometric registration when no body is actually checking it at the entry gate and exit gate.
My take on this: It helps Government know the names and addresses of people who were doing Yatra during a particular time of the month...At the time of registration they ask you about number of days for which you want to travel. There is no hard and fast rule that you should follow that only…
One reason of course is to keep information about people who are travelling and other resaon is that if there is a mishappening on the yatra route and government wants to give some compensation, they can use this database for reference purpose.
Though exact number of people travelling on yatra route cannot be ascertained but this can work as an indicator.
Hope you are enjoying watching our Uttarakhand Char Dham yatra series, if you have missed watching any episode, i will suggest you to look at the playlist.
Should you have any query about this yatra route, please feel free to write your query in comments below.
Night stay options for going to Shri Kedarnath Dham:
Sonprayag: Very crowded place, i will not recommend you to stay at this place.
Gaurikund: 5 km from Sonprayag, very crowded place, you should avoid staying here over night.
night stay option 5 or 10 km before Sonprayag: Yes there are many guest houses which are 5 or 10 km short of Sonprayag.
Triyuginarayan: Good option 13 km from Sonprayag, but you should do booking at GMVL at Triyuginarayan, there not not many guest houses at this place, i mean the neat and clean ones.
