Mr MPW Mr MPW Hi everyone,Welcome to the channel - I'm Matt Williams, Founder of the ICARUS Drone Course.I'm an ex RAF Helicopter Instructor and I've been flying model helicopters and planes for more than 20 years. We were flying our custom built, large model helicopters with gimbals and cameras attached to them, for the FIlm and TV industry before the drone revolution even began and we now run ICARUS - the world's largest and fastest growing Commercial Drone Training School.I've been obsessed with aviation and business since I was a child and we've set up this channel to help educate those who are in, or entering, the exciting world of aviation and business and are building an awesome community of like-minded people.Welcome to the channel - we've got content coming out all the time (and we're going to be building content on manned aviation soon, too... So stay tuned for updates on that).There are more videos and reviews coming all the time so be sure to check back regularly or subscribe to sta Raw Vegan Lens Sheri Meshal Join me for an authentic raw vegan journey. I will never sugar coat my experience. If you're searching for a pristine, flawless, skyrocket to raw perfection, this is not it. My raw journey resembles a big pile of knotted zoodles. I bought my first raw book, Juliano's RAW in 2000. In 2006, I finally realized that raw was an actual lifestyle, not just a handful of freakishly disciplined people. Then I started 'going raw.' I've gone raw and careened off it hundreds of times. But I'm always learning and honing my skills. I will not stop. I can't. There's nothing like raw. I believe it gives me the absolute best version of myself - hands down, the person I was always meant to be. How can you discover your full potential, if you're not consuming the best fuel you can get your hands on? Raw veganism is an incredibly healing path. It's also the way I choose to manage my ADHD and the most effective way I've discovered since being diagnosed at age 6.

Mike Henderson aka ENDO falls into the latter category. A ubiquitous figure in electronic dance music for going on two decades, ENDO is a musician, a DJ, a teacher, an inventor, and a visionary.Beats have been driving ENDO as early as the first year of his life when he began drumming, playing in his school band and Punk and Hardcore bands. That is until he decided to travel to Woodstock in 1999. Here, he experienced DJs for the first time. Upon his return to his home state of Vermont, ENDO locked himself away for the next couple of years, perfecting the art of DJing.“It was an addiction and an obsession,” says ENDO. “It helped that I was a drummer and that I had a mathematical background. Using both of these and having a knowledge of song structure, I am able to calculate when I should stop and start tracks, using my mappings to navigate mathematically so they come in and out of the mix exact _Like Esther Andrea Kane Come join me as I learn valuable lessons in my current season of life. My inspiration for this started as a dream to help sort through my feelings while trying to repair an estranged relationship with my father who is a recovering alcoholic. As I navigated through my blog and what I wanted to name it- I was reading the story of Esther in the Bible. She was beautiful inside and out, she was an orphan, she was courageous and she knew that she was there for such a time as that. So join me as I reflect and hopefully encourage you to know that you too are here for such a time as this..just like me.
