It took me so 18 took me down to 12 year You see but the thing is that when people say they make a million dollars a million dollars where you can put up and save You don't have to touch it or million dollars that you have to reinvest you have to use back and pay Talk about oh, I made this I made that I made that you genuinely make a profit of a million dollars. I made it just this year So it came all at one time quick When the floodgates open up though now it's time that you still it when you make money like I kind of agree with Dame Dash When I make money, I I'm trying to figure out something to do with it.

I sure don't want to go through that again But they wouldn't be the person that you're that's right. You so you have to go through So it wasn't anything that we could do to skip the process Wow And you were talking about Turlin and all the stuff that he's going through right now And I think about the music coming out during that time What it made me think about is the R Kelly and how he the song dropped and how everything they said that wasn't real But it was I heard he said he didn't drop it That it just fit exactly what it is, but he tells you about you have you listened to it.

This is mine You gotta bring your mind


Hi everyone and welcome back to another vlog. So this week today is Monday the 28th of October and I'm just too excited so I need to tell you. So today we got our presentation results. I was in the middle of placement and I was too excited. I couldn't wait to look at home to do a live video so I checked them whilst I was on my placement. I was in the car with my mentor and I was like I just need to check to see if we've had any emails to see if the results have come through. She was like yeah yeah go for it and she got really excited and I was there like oh my god please pass because I don't know what I'm gonna do if I don't pass right now and then I opened the thing and I was like I just saw 68% out of 100. Yeah 68% oh I will take that. I will take anything right now as long as it's not a fail. I am happy right now. So yeah so I passed. Passed my presentation. 68% is a really good grade. I'm happy with that. Well happy. So our next lot of results now are in two weeks and that is our ACP assignment, dissertation slash not dissertation. I'm dreading these results guys. These are... I'm hoping that I've done enough to pass because when I read it back it just doesn't sound like my best piece of work. I still don't understand research fully and I'm just hoping that I've done enough to just get 40% to pass. That's all I need. That's all I want.  I'm not aiming for a first anymore. I think I worked out I needed to get like 77% in this result, this next result to get my first and there's not a chance. There's no way I'm going to get that high mark. I will probably just scrape past 40%. I will probably just scrape past. I'll be surprised if I get 50s, 60s, 70s. But you never know. I don't know what they're looking for in this. I don't know how to write it. So what I'm reading and what they're reading might be two completely different things. The person marking it might think do you know what actually this is really good. I just don't know. But I have high hopes that I'm going to pass it at least. I've got hopes that I'm going to pass it. I think I've done enough to pass it but we'll find out in two weeks time. Oh just pray for me guys. Pray for me. So yeah so today I was with my mentor like I said. We saw a mixture of patients. We had palliative care. We had a wound dressing. We had oh I saw like a really fungating sort of cancer related wound. Really hard to manage. So I had that to deal with today and another palliative care patient today that we had to set up the syringe driver for. So I helped with that which was really good practice. Oh I did a vac so we had a vac dressing to do on a foot which is a really awkward place I've discovered for a vac. And then I helped my mentor write out some prescriptions and order some stuff and ring people do some faxes all the paperwork side of things as well. So we've had a good day. Had a very varied amazing day and looking forward to tomorrow. It's so nice waking up and looking forward to going to placement. It's absolutely wonderful. It's I love it. It is the end of the week and I thought I would just do a little catch-up vlog with you or just before I go out into placement. I've had my breakfast. I'm sort of ready. I've got my tea ready. So this week I have done all of my normal usual things that have been going over in the past vlogs. Yesterday I had a little training session in the morning with an amazing guy who is a community case manager. I've been out with before and I've explained I think all of that before so I won't go into that today. I was about to but I'm not going to stop myself from waffling. So yes so yes we had a training session yesterday and he taught me all about COPD and he also gave me a couple of leaflets so COPD leaflet from the British Lung Foundation amazing website if you want to look into COPD what it is some more information for your own understanding for your patients. Really good website and he gave me this one. Now does anybody know what this is? At first I thought it was bronchitis and then I looked again I was like it looks like it should say bronchitis but it doesn't say bronchitis.  I'll give it a go actually come on bronchiactasis that word anyway so so this is I hadn't heard of this before until he said it and I was like what is that so he was like I'm glad you asked that. So basically what it is is with bronchitis you've got a lot of inflammation swelling mucus so the walls of the bronchioles in the lungs are all narrowing so there's not enough air getting in and out but with this one this actually causes the the airways to widen rather than close in so they're getting too wide there's a lot more mucus being sat there because it can't get it up because they're too wide so then you're more prone to a lot of chest infections a lot of bacteria building up things like that so I found that really interesting I was like I've never even heard of this word what why so that was really really interesting he also went over how to do a lung examination with me and how to listen to the sounds where to place your stethoscope so that was amazing because that is one thing out of all of this I don't know why I really wanted to learn so he showed me I did see it with him before but he showed me properly and he talked about it a little bit more and what to look out for and things so that was amazing obviously you need to do the extra training or whatever when you're qualified which I'm gonna look into doing hopefully that is my aim that is my goal obviously I'm gonna find out more about it and if I can actually do things like that I'm getting ahead of myself sorry we've done all of our like palliative patients different types of wounds amputations we've done syringe drivers IVs um diabetic patients we've had really complex wounds like we've had wounds that are caught like a patient who has got something like lupus their skin just breaks down so it's trying to manage those sort of wounds that are really complex and hard to manage we've had catheters we've had nephrostobic bags we've had stoma bags we've had big abdo wounds that have needed stoma bags on them to fit to collect all of the excess gunk that's coming out of the wounds I'm using all of the wrong terminology I'm so sorry don't listen to me oh another thing when I was with the guy doing the training and he grilled me he grilled all of my knowledge he was like okay what's this what's this and then he was like let's go over the anatomical anatomical told you I couldn't speak anatomical terminology so the terms for the body so posterior anterior and anterior posterior is back don't forget that posterior is back anterior is front up down left right whatever so he was like okay what's this side called so the side of the body and I was like I've got this in my book can I look can I just have a little quick peek it's like no we need to guess at least I was like okay left side of the body oh it was awful and he was like Claire what are we gonna do with you it's like no it's the lateral I was like I knew this I knew it was the lateral side I've written this down when talking about wounds on the lateral side oh my god and then he's like okay so then he pointed to the outside of his leg on the same side the outside of the leg and he was like so what's this part called and I was like bilateral and he was like what am I gonna do seriously where have you got that from I was like I don't know it's an educated guess you said that was lateral I'm going bilateral oh god it was a laugh it was really really funny I don't know I just go look at my book when I'm writing terminology down I don't I can't do it on the spot or in vlogs and things like that if I make notes and write it down or I'm speaking to someone like if I had to go and see a doctor or something to explain something then I would look up the terminology and make sure I've got the correct terminology to say it but in everyday conversation I'm not going to use long-winded words I'm going to use simple easy to understand what my patient can understand and adapt it that way but I'm it's not something we're not I wasn't taught all the terminologies at school at university I had to look up these terms myself which is why that in my book I will put a picture here this is my little book of my terminology and on a last note I want to tell you that has happened this week I was on Twitter another reason why you should get on Twitter I entered this little competition to win a book and I won it and this is it so fundamentals of assessment and care planning for nurses now I'm not a big book reader with nursing sorry I'm just not I've really struggled with reading and then I had to go back and reread it and ugh so I have got some books that I have sort of looked at and I have read and I've made notes from and things like that but I love like the Khan Academy as a lot of you know I bang on about the Khan Academy I love it for physiology look all these online websites YouTube videos everything to help me understand because that's just the way I learn and that's me but I've got this book I've had a quick look through and it's amazing so um it's got everything literally everything in this book this guy Ian Pete you're a legend because this book has everything so you've got from the beginning the nature of nursing the provision of care how to critically think and decision make nursing process care plannings different models of nursing and then it goes into skills of assessment and planning care then it goes into assessment tools to use then it goes into the body system so how to assess the musculoskeletal system I can't say it um assessing the circulatory system assessing the cardiac system gi renor respiratory male and female reproductive system nervous system endocrine immune system at the skin it's got it all in here so then if we just go to let me just go to let's say cardiovascular so go to circulatory system so it's got the introduction what the circulatory system does it's got diagrams um and then it goes into the bloods the gases blood groups platelets capillaries blood vessels lymph system and then it comes into this amazing bit where it says health history physical examination so teaching you how to do your inspections check the pulse and things like that assessing needs doing those sort of assessments for Haitian cultural considerations as well has been thrown in there which is amazing how to measure the jugular venous pressure here measurement of capillary nail refill then it goes into oh then it goes into um it's got this really good pulses table how to do it and any comments what you should be looking for when you're doing it and then it goes into edema all about arterial and venous insufficiency in the legs in the arms anywhere like that so then it has like a little like a case study as well just to show you and it shows all the examinations and things like that oh it's so good this book is incredible and it's just going to be so so useful it's useful for me it's going to be useful for you if you're a student nurse i have a look at it i'm not too sure on the pricing that's the only and then yeah so it goes on to all oh here we go the chest examinations yes that's where you should put your stethoscope guys i need to draw this out in my book yes and then so um it's got how to do chest examinations oh my god i'm sorry i'm this video is going to be really too long but what i'm trying to say this book is incredible if you are looking for a book with this sort of thing this is the one and i really like it because it's colorful it's got pictures i love pictures it's really simple to understand really easy it's broken down really nicely it's not too um technical it's not a lot of jargon and terminology it's just fantastic so if you're looking for a really really good book about care planning assessments of a patient this is the one this is fabulous and on that note guys i'm going to leave it here because this video is going to be way too long as always oh my god i've got three weeks left guys three weeks i'm so excited my book is slowly getting signed off as well which is amazing i did my halfway interview did i tell you that i can't remember oh my god okay final note oh hey you're going to hate me final note guys um i did my halfway interview got some really really lovely comments some really good feedback so i'm just i'm so happy that i'm on target i'm doing what i can everybody's happy with me and yeah it's really really nice oh thank god so i'm going to stop waffling because my tea is probably now cold yeah my tea is a little bit cold so i'm going to go i'm going

certain of that so yeah so have a great week guys and i shall see you next sunday


Welcome, this is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm reviewing the market here today. Last Friday in 2019, last Friday of the decade actually, and only really one full trading day left in the year, which is on Monday. Market closed to partial day, closed early on New Year's Eve, and then closed on Wednesday. So, only one full more day of trading, which is Monday, and all in all, the market was very bullish this year. So, I'm just going to take a look at this. I've called pretty much every trade that I've called in the last few weeks, and the options newsletter has worked. Some of them were puts and some were calls, specifically the spy I had called a few times as calls and it worked, I mean, all the trades worked. So, the breakout that the market had on November 1st was real, and we pretty much rallied up straight since then. So, it was a nice read of this market. I've made some nice calls in here, and the market just shot up like a rocket. And this day was the day that they were, I think the house was attempting to impeach Trump or they started the hearings, I don't remember, it's something to do with impeachment. And we just would not break, I mean, we would not fall here. This was a gap down, we fell slightly and flipped, so market made brand new well-timed highs again today. So, I don't know exactly what happens on the very last final trading day of the year, which is really Tuesday technically, but because it's a half day, I don't think you'll see a lot of necessarily momentum on Tuesday. The biggest momentum, if you saw any more momentum would be on Monday. But I think a lot of people are off this week and next week, or off this week or off next week, one of the two. And so, it's surprising to see this type of rally. I saw we were going to break out and make no highs yesterday in the morning early, and I called the 322 calls for the spy that was the most recent one, and of course it worked. So, really nice calls here on this newsletter. If you're interested in learning my method, you must take the class to do that. If you're interested in just trading options, then you can join the options newsletter. It's $59.99 a year, there is not a monthly subscription, there is not a quarterly subscription. It's only for the year. I'm running a holiday sale for a half-yearly subscription, which is $39.99 through $12.31, if you want to sign up for that for the first six months of 2020. But basically, this letter has just been phenomenal. So, I mean, everyone's making money. It's like one of these things where, I mean, you can't even make any mistakes. The market's just been rallying, and I've called it extremely well. So, I own credit my success to the rating system, which is the system that I developed, which is the Golden Gap 26 points. That's how I know to read what's happening. It almost is like magic, because I can predict where the market's going to go, and I can predict where stocks are going to go before they go there. And that is how you can make money in the market, and that is how it's done. So, very nice call here in the market. We'll see where we go for 2020. I'll be doing some analyzing of that tomorrow on Fox News and into next week. If you're interested in any of the holiday sales, email me at melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day, everyone.

It wasn't pretty Raven certainly did not make it easy on themselves But they came out of LA with the most important thing and that was the win team keeping clean I'm here to share my post game thoughts on the game that we watched between the Baltimore Ravens and the Los Angeles Chargers and before we get into it make sure you subscribe to the channel because we are very very very Extremely close to 70,000 subscribers and that is a crazy milestone and I just got to say I really appreciate y'all Appreciate all y'all for being a part of that. So thank you for that I love y'all subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on because while the Ravens are in the bye week now We still got plenty to talk about and one of the things we need to talk about for this game last night is coaching This was not a good game from Jonathan Harbaugh. This was not a Good game from Todrick Monk and I don't even know if his name is Todrick or not But anyway, this was not a good game from those to Mike McDonald.  You were excellent amazing outstanding Everything so thank you Mike McDonald, but John Harbaugh Todd Monkin. We got to have a word first Let's start with John Harbaugh I know a lot of Ravens fans have been frustrated with John Harbaugh a lot of Ravens fans have been talking about Oh, we want to get rid of John Harbaugh And and I will question that I'm like, well, hold up Well Ravens in that there will be eight and three nine and three I have this nice record, but there's still be fans that want to get rid of John Harbaugh And but a reason for that a reason why a lot of Ravens fans gets so frustrated with John Harbaugh Because he's been coached or not even just coaching overall. He's been head coaching For what like 14 15 years because he started head coaching in 2008 But a lot of times he can make some rookie mistakes Situationally he has to get a lot better But while we having this conversation about a head coach has been coaching so long that has to get better situationally That's crazy. Especially if you've been doing something for so long, but last night Oh my goodness. It was really bad because last night. We know in the game The Baltimore Ravens they started off and again shout out to the defense, but Geno stone There were there were two no calls that The the refs did not call on the Ravens. They should have called on the Ravens They were clear penalties on the Ravens, but the refs did not call them One of them was Geno stone hidden Justin Herbert on the first drive Hitting them late out of bounds should have been first-down should have been a 15-yard penalty Unnecessary roughness late hit or whatever, but the ref didn't call it So, okay, and then shortly after that, there was the Ravens had punted the ball and Just as he'll it was a clear fair catch kick catch interference fair catch interference I forgot exactly what it's called But that should have been a penalty to refs didn't call it at all So I said in our last stream and shout out to everybody who's part of the last stream I said that there's gonna be two makeup calls that the refs gives to the charges So make sure you watch out for that and guess what happened We watched out for it and it certainly happened, but this is where we have to have the conversation about John Harbaugh mixed in with Todd Monk into Because it starts with John Harbaugh though because there was a play where Lamar scrambled He scrambled and shout out to Lamar Jackson's awareness because he put the ball past the first-down marker before he stepped out of bounds So clear first down right, but the ref said no they took the first down away from they said no You didn't make the first down Lamar Jackson So I'm like, okay, so boom right there John Harbaugh should have been like alright challenge that clear first down Let's throw the challenge flag did he throw the challenge flag? No, but what made matters worse is that the refs didn't give them first down Which again, that was one of the makeup calls to go in the charges favor Well, I'm like, okay, whatever but there was no challenge But then what made it even worse Ravens made it hard on the still they ran a hurry up play They got back to the line of scrimmage fast So it's like they they started rushing and then they like ran some like goofy play and it's like, what are we doing? What why are you rushing for a play that you should have challenged and they didn't get it I think there was like a toss to Gus it was or something like that And it's just oh, yeah, the direct snap to Gus it was that's what it was because they put Lamar Why something like that in it? It's just like what are we doing? What what was that that sequence of plays was the sequence of coaching the sequence? It was just so bad. It was all kinds of bad and then the the next time it happened It was on I think second and 22 Lamar Jackson driving I forgot what the penalty was Lamar Jackson drop back hitting Nelson Aguilore Nelson Aguilore Clearly gets the first down. It's clear as day ref say nope because we still got one more makeup called up We got to give to the charges So they took away the first down so that made it like third and one or third and inches Terrible spot again John Hubba throw that challenge flag. You know, throw the challenge flag, right? Nope they just watched it and then again they rushed to play and I forgot what I forgot what play they did but it was something like abysmal. It was so bad So again, the Baltimore they they made stuff hard on themselves They did those were two two challengeable plays those should have been challenged But then later on in the game to make matters worse The charges and again I said this going into the game The charges were a dangerous team because they had nothing to lose when you play teams that have nothing to lose They were gonna put it all out there so charges on a third and I forgot what it was Justin Herbert throws one of his million passes to Keenan Allen and Keenan Allen. He's like look I ain't about to get this first down. So he He throws a lateral pass to the running back. I think it was a run back whoever was he throws the past he did the lateral pass to another charges defender and John Hubba challenged it Live it didn't look like it was a forward pass It didn't look like it was an illegal forward pass and but John Hubba for some reason said, oh, you know what? That looks challengeable not not the bad spots that were clear first downs not those but that looks challengeable So let me throw my challenge flag and I was just like wow What are we doing? So those were three terrible situational thank goodness a thank goodness that the charges are as bad as they are Because against other teams you cannot afford to do stuff like that not silly stuff like that. You really can't But again Ravens came away with the win and that's obviously the most Important thing But yeah, they got to get that they need to buy week Hubba needs about all right. Look man. I'm tired These games got me tired. We've been doing a lot of traveling. We've been going here there everywhere. I've been stressed out I'm tired. So yes, how about needs about by week top monkey in this game. Hmm Todd mung and I with Todd mungin not everything is on Todd mungin because the players of course have to execute as well But with Todd mungin something that we saw in this game Making stuff harder than it needs to be getting away from what's working taking Keaton Mitchell out and on clutch situations and ain't nothing Shout out to Justice Hill But you you got to continue doing what's working in a clutch situation like hey I'm having Keith Mitchell out there Gus Edwards lead to but I just that again, they they Just getting away from what's working, man Ravens running games working. They like oh, no We gonna pass we and they did just the inconsistencies with the offensive play calling It was just frustrating to see overall. But again, hey What's crazy about this is all this stuff that we're saying it sounds like we're talking about a loss, right? It sounds like it but the Ravens won so it obviously wasn't all bad and shout out to the defense because the defense in this game They were amazing. They were outstanding. They were excellent again, whatever you want to call it. They were great They forced four turnovers and I mean Technically it was for I guess it was really three though because remember right before halftime The Baltimore Ravens they went for it again Lamar threw through a pass it looked like it was intended for a shot baby Look like he wanted to throw the shot baby in the first down and hope for that Rashad baby and catch it and go out of bounds and just a pass that completely just missed them Completely missed that gated charges the ball right before halftime Justin Herbert throws throws it up And Arthur Millet he comes down with the interception. So that is technically a turnover But it was right before halftime, but hey it counts as a turnover. So it is what it is But the Ravens they had three real turnovers three real turnovers and they forced three fumbles and I think they recovered every last one of them every last one And one of them came in such a clutch time I mean every fumble that you force and recover is great because that literally takes the ball away from the opposing offense and gives it to your offense Jadavion Clowney though Jadavion Clowney my my guy Jadavion Clowney in the clutch Clutch time charges. I think the charges were in the red zone if they weren't in the red zone They were awfully close and Jadavion Clowney Knocked that ball out and Michael Pierce recovered and then on and there was another fumble that the Ravens force and Michael Pierce I believe he recovered that one too So the Ravens they they were knocking that ball out and then there was another one where Rodavion Rodavion forced the fumble because it was Roquan Smith and Jadavion Clowney and and they forced the fumble and The Ravens recovered and I think that was on Keenan out. Yeah, because one fumble It was it was on the two ball guys because they they forced one fumble on Keenan Allen Then they forced another fumble on Austin Echler and then they forced the third one on Justin Herbert So it's a beautiful thing seen in Baltimore Ravens forcing fumbles. Just a matter big game He had got a half sack and that put him at 10 sacks for the season So shout out to him first player to get double digits sacks for the Baltimore Ravens since T sizzle Justin Matt a big gay his money continues to increase all his money continues to increase Patrick Queen Remember that play with Patrick Queen He just sold so devoted to being a good teammate that he just did not look out for the Ravens I did not look out for himself because he had a clear lane to the sack with Patrick Queens had himself on Twitter He said oh no, I was just trying to I was really just trying to make help Justin Matt a big day get the sack So he I guess he was supposed to occupy the offensive linemen and let Justin Matt a big gay have a clear lane to rush through But he was just so committed to the play to execute in the play and what they had designed that he's like, you know What I ain't going for right now. I'm a little bit big get it But it was an incomplete pass. I think thank goodness. It was But yeah shout out to the Baltimore Ravens defense What's sad is that the the Ravens they forced three were technically four turnovers, but three turnovers and They didn't get many points off of it That is an issue you can't do that again this by week is coming at the perfect time Ravens needed but the fact that they going into the by week at nine and three That's amazing despite all their issues despite them leaving so many points on the field Despite the injuries that they've suffered they going into the by week at nine and three. That is amazing That's amazing all the traveling they've done all the way games that they played all just all the games period 93 is amazing and I take that all day every day Because while it could be better and it's been highlighted that currently currently The three teams at the Baltimore Ravens lost to those are the three teams that are in the wild cause spots right now again That's subject to change But those are three teams in a wild cause spot right now So all Ravens losses right now they came to play off teams right now. So That's that But where the Ravens are sitting right now They are in such a good situation man to be going into your by week to be able to rest to be able to rejuvenate to be able to relax to be able to recuperate and You ain't got to worry. We ain't got to worry as fans We ain't got to stress out this week next week because it's like a Ravens ain't playing Y'all won't stress us out this week, but um That that's cool that they took care of business because a lot of times in these situations Ravens will not take care of business a lot of times when things will line up for the Ravens It's like oh man Ravens are sitting nice. All they got to do is win. They wouldn't take care of business, but this year It's nice that they are That is it's just it's a beautiful thing and it's very very nice to see the Baltimore Ravens them hold it down And in the game yesterday back to the offense Who again they got a capitalized much better offer when like they should have been a blowout the game should not have been Close or shout out to Zay flowers Zay flowers got the double in me And I didn't realize those were his first touchdowns in America because His long touchdown of the season it came in London in the game against the Titans But these were his first touchdowns in the States. So shout out to Zay flowers and His first touchdown again look more it reminded me of the Hollywood days It reminded me Lamar Jackson. We were just talking about that this week How Hollywood you would think that somebody sitting at 5 9 would never be a red zone threat But Hollywood was certainly a red zone threat with Lamar Jackson them to have excellent chemistry But we see Zay flowers and Lamar Jackson He got it to him on that goal line and on that pass into the end zone So that was a beautiful thing to see but then at the end of the game I'm glad that Zay flowers deal with you. Did I get it? Yeah, they could have ended the game If he would have just got the first down and went down But I'm glad that he got it because what that does for him like that that's it's deeper than just the game It's deeper than just the charges game in my opinion because what that can do for Zay flowers That can set him up moving forward that can give him a big boost of confidence and motivation Moving forward especially headed into the bye week like Ravens as a whole as a team They set themselves up nicely headed into the bye week, but they flowers individually He set himself up nice heading into the bye week because he's like, oh, yeah, I'm built for this Even though I'm sure he knew that already But that touchdown that he got a second touchdown that he got it just set it up that much nicer Again, he should have had to touch down last week, but the refs took it away from so Ravens like all right You know what? Let's double down this week and he got it. He got it now on that play y'all He almost fumbled to snap. He almost I mean not the snap, but he almost from the ball, but thank goodness He got it shout out to them Florida boys, but anyway I'm Offensive line offensive line in this game Pass blocking atrocious atrocious I know there's been a lot of conversation about Ronnie Stanley and they will continue to be a lot of conversation about Ronnie Stanley But yeah, it's it wasn't looking good Both side Khalil Mack was just abusing them. It was like I went into this game thinking I think I had Joey Bosa So yeah, they still got Khalil Mack But I was able to be able to take care of business against it. Nope Nope and something that's I mean, it's no coincidence and there's no surprise, but um The stats when Lamar Jackson was pressured last night. He was 2 for 12 for 18 yards So 2 for 12 under that pressure. You got pressure when he was not pressured 16 for 20 159 yards and the touchdown Coincidence, I think not now not saying that a QB's they they just they can't perform Or and even just for Lamar Jackson specifically not saying that a under pressure He's not gonna be able to perform. No, that's not saying that at all But you would definitely want your offensive line to be better and and just watching it You ain't even got to be no exes and old guy You even got to be no offensive line specialist or anything like that to see that they were bad They they were really bad So it's The bye week coming at a perfect time They they need the rest that they need the relaxation time They need the time off because again, it's all about balance. We all need balance in our lives We all need time off and whatever it is that we do we all need a break Ravens they clearly need a break right now. Everybody does Lamar Jackson in this game He he was all right He was all right. It wasn't a Good, it wasn't a crazy special game from Lamar He did make some special plays, but it wasn't one of those like bam those I a Those statement games from Lamar Jackson in this game, but again, he did make some nice plays and he I think on with Lamar Jackson We are very spoiled. I know I can speak for myself. I'm very spoiled by Lamar Jackson because of What he does and what he does on a regular basis and he does some crazy stuff There was one play where I forgot who the ball was intended for but he did and he does this a lot to where he'll throw the ball he'll do that sidearm throw and it'll go like right around the defender and to Right into his receiver's hands and it's like it's one of the craziest things But he does it so regularly that we're just like almost used to it But we still got to appreciate it because it's still a special play Lamar Jackson in this game just looking at The overall number there was some plays that he missed there for sure now There was one deep ball kind of a lot of it There's been a lot of questions about Lamar Jackson and deep ball this year There was one as a flowers where he missed it, but it was a really good throw. It's a really good throw. It was like Not only he missed it. They were more so they missed that one Then there was another one where he was pressured And it was incomplete. It was intended for a day back on junior where it was a good decision But that pressure made him just overthrow it So in that that's what pressure supposed to do so pressure supposed to mess up the timing of your throws and whatnot That's why teams want to create pressure and get pressure on quarterbacks and it certainly worked with Lamar Jackson on that play So a shout out to charges defense for that one But just looking at his numbers from the game last night overall. Oh, and he broke another record Remember we was talking about that earlier this week. I said it feels like every other week Lamar Jackson is breaking some type of record Because he is every other week. He breaking a record. It's like he's the first quarterback or fastest quarterback to run for 5,000 yards Faster than Vic faster than Cam Newton faster than Russell Wilson So shout out a little more, but yeah, 18 for 32 177 yards average 5.5 yards throw one touchdown no interception now Why those numbers aren't so pretty Prettiest thing about those numbers in my opinion and I think a lot of y'all will agree. No turnovers. No turnovers He did not turn the ball over at all So that's a good thing now he did have one that he fumbled and That was again, I asked people a question Because I know with Lamar. Yeah, he has fumbled a lot this year But it's important to look at the context of those fumbles some of those fumbles have come when he's running So that's hey, that's all on him in my opinion But when he's in the pocket a lot of those fumbles have come when he's in the pocket and getting ready to throw the ball Getting ready to throw the ball pulls it back getting ready to throw it Offensive linemen gets beat and a deep defender. Boop knocks it right out. I feel like nobody No matter what quarterback it is can do anything about that Feels Patrick Mahomes and his offensive linemen got beat and he getting ready to throw it and the defender Boop knocks it out Patrick Mahomes can't do nothing about that. Josh. Well, I can't use Josh Allen because Josh Allen is a turnover machine So he'll be a bad example to you. But anyway, you give a point That's like nobody can do anything about that So that was unfortunate, but they didn't lose him and that was a big thing with the Baltimore Ravens in this game And I think that's a big part of the reason why they did win Especially because this is one of those games that we've seen a lot of times the Baltimore Ravens will lose But they didn't turn the ball over and since they didn't turn the ball over That allowed even though their offense was very lackluster overall That allowed them to remain in Control for the most part of this game. They didn't put themselves in a hole We'll put it like that. That'd be a much better way to put it Running the ball Keaton Mitchell nine carries 64 yards 7.1 yards a carry Key Mitchell is amazing. That's your guy and he started in this game. So that says a lot He started over Gus Edwards. He started over Justice Hill. Keep Mitchell start undrafted a rookie free agent in a game A game you must get against the NAFC opponent. Keep Mitchell was your starter They love him and we love him and they got every reason to keep Mitchell is amazing Lamar Jackson had 11 kids 39 yards they flowers He had the one care for 37 yards and of course that was his touchdown on his jet sweep on his end around So he said Devin DuVernay watch this Justice Hill have five carries for 31 yards average 60 to 6.2 yards a carry Gus Edwards He had eight carries for 26 yards the average 3.3 Oh, and that's a very low average for Gus Edwards and what the charges were doing when they when Gus Edwards Were getting the ball they were hitting them. They were not letting him break tackles They were all over Gus Edwards all over So the fact that he had only average 3.3 yards a carry not surprised his longest carry was five yards Five years usually he averages five yards a carry, but as long as carry was five yards So the charges were like look when we see 35 just hit him Don't let him get nothing and so they they really held him down big time Isaiah likely was the leading receiver with 40 yards He had four catch for 40 yards Um, but the thing I liked about Isaiah likely in the game last night is that he looked comfortable He did not look flustered He did not look like the moment was too big for him He looked very comfortable and he was getting the yak He was making people miss when he had the ball in his hands and it was like, oh, yeah That's the Isaiah likely remember from preseason of last year when he would get that opportunity So I look forward to seeing more Isaiah likely for the rest of this season Odell Beckham, Jr. He started off had a couple of catches overall He had three catch for 34 yards, but then he just got quiet. I just we ain't see him no more Rashad Bateman, he had two catch for 21 yards. It was the best catch of the night I probably came when he jumped he jumped up and got it. He reached up and got it Excellent effort on that catch. There was one that he dropped like right before that and I appreciated because didn't appreciate a drop Of course, but Lamar went to him through to Rashad Bateman and Rashad Bateman dropped it Unfortunate, but the very next play Lamar Jackson went right back to him literally right back to him Right back to him and Rashad Bateman called it So that was nice that Lamar showed that trust in Rashad Bateman and gave another opportunity like literally right away So that was really really nice to see Roquan Smith Patrick Queen They both got over a hundred tackles Which is that's one last time that happened for the Ravens. I don't even remember, but it's great Patrick Queen just sending himself up nice To get paid and he will get paid from somebody who? We'll see we'll see very very soon With The more Jackson just to flip it back to the offense one thing that I appreciated about this game, too Why did they then turn the ball over? There were oh, you know what I was getting ready to say that there weren't any almost picks But there certainly was there was on that Hmm was like a little bubble screen or whatever Rpo to I think was intended for It wasn't intended for Ze flowers it was intended for Another receiver was a flower the thing he missed his block on a Sante Samuel junior and that allowed him to jump it And it went right to a Sante Samuel juniors hands right in his hands, but he dropped it. Thank goodness. He dropped But oh thank goodness he dropped it um, but yeah, besides that There weren't any more almost turnovers, but yeah, the Ravens did it man So we glad that they did it glad that they were able to close it out get a victory on the road again And now they have a bye week and the next time they they play they'll be at the crib And they will be going up against the former old. They'll beckham juniors team the Rams But they ain't got to worry about that for another two weeks, which is nice But anyway, thank you be clean Head into the bye week We still got plenty to talk about I know we will have plenty of questions from subscribers Because I know y'all gonna send plenty of questions I know y'all got plenty of questions about these Baltimore Ravens, but I'm looking forward to a looking forward to a more relaxed We can chat well in two weeks For the Baltimore Ravens and just around everything because this is they need this we need this Because this has been a crazy first part of the season, but Ravens made it through and again They they are in a very very good spot record wise So shout out to them shout out to y'all again make sure you subscribe to the channel so close so close So close to 70,000 subscribers, so if we hit that mark this week that will be a Calls for celebration, man, but we'll see we'll see we'll see how it goes. No rush with patience patience is everything But I love y'all team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all so much. Thank y'all for making this so much fun There was a lot of wagon talk last night team keep it clean I got a little while a little bit while but it's all good. We had fun with it, man But y'all stay up y'all be great y'all keep being amazing excellent people I will see you all throughout the rest of this week. We got plenty to talk about But for now we out


Hi, I'm Rusty Komori and this is Beyond the Lines on Think Tech, Hawaii. I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years and we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. My book Beyond the Lines is about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence and finding greatness, which is what this show is all about. My special guest today is someone that I've known and respected for many years. He's the former Punahou School golf director and current head coach for Hawaii Pacific University's men's and women's golf teams. He is Ed Kageyama and today we are going beyond the greens. Hey, Ed, how's it going? Rusty, thank you for having me. Things are going great. Oh, you're such a legendary golf expert in Hawaii and I totally believe that HPU is so lucky to have you as their head coach now. Well, I hope that plays out that way. You know, that's that's the plan, at least. You know, I'm very actually very fortunate for the opportunity.  I didn't know if I would ever get the opportunity to do it. So this is actually, you know, it's an exciting time for me.  And so it's a good time. And let's start from the beginning. Can you tell me about your early years through your college years? Sure. Born and raised on Oahu, grew up on the East Honolulu side.  And never really took any lessons on golf. It's just kind of recreational, having fun with my dad, played baseball all the way through high school. And that was really my sport that I focused on, but I played golf more recreationally with my dad. And then, you know, going to, I went to University of Washington after Punahou and spent some time in Seattle, really loved Seattle. And we had a, my family actually had a really strong connection to University of Washington as my dad was the recruit during the Don James Eros and so going to, going to Seattle was nothing and it was a lot of fun. And I really enjoyed my time while in Seattle. Ed, let's talk about your family. Can you tell me a little bit about your wife and your kids? Sure. My, my, my wife, she calls herself country girl with mags. And she says, she's from Hilo. Yeah. She's a country girl and I got three kids, a son, Ethan, who's 21, daughter Avery, who's 19. And then my third daughter is Kendall, who's 15. And so my son's at the college at Loyola Marama in LA and actually studying abroad right now in London. And then my middle daughter, Avery is at George Fox University and then my youngest Kendall is at Mid-Pak. Let's, you know, let's talk about your daughter. Avery for a little bit. I heard she's ranked number four in NCA golf division three. Is that correct? She, she plays on the George Fox team, which is ranked number four in the nation right now. It's a great program. She's really in a younger time, a really good coach. You know, that was the thing when we're looking at schools that she wanted somewhere where it's really strong program and that the coach was, was a really good coach that was a really good coach. That would be very nurturing supportive and would have a really good, she would have a really good experience in playing college golf. So, yeah, she's loving it there. It's, it's a little cold right now in Portland or just south of Portland in the Willamette Valley. But, you know, she's really looking forward to getting, getting going in the spring season. Nice. Now, Ed, I got to ask you, I have no idea about this, but what was, what was the first job that you've ever had in your life? Well, there's a couple that I kind of consider one, one is my first, first job, real job where I actually had to fill out an application and go to an interview was Domino's. My friend and I decided we wanted to go get summer jobs. And so we, we were Domino's delivery guys. I think that was junior year summer and we did that for two summers. And, you know, that's a lot of fun. Got to see a lot of what's going on. Our territory was Ward Avenue to Diamond Head to Waikiki and up into Mono. So it was a really big territory. And so it was fun. We had a really good time. Made a little bit of money, which is good for us kids. But, you know, it was good. It learned a lot and met some really nice people. And so it was a really good time. My second, my other job, which I want to bring up to you because it's a mutual friend of ours. Yeah. That I worked for Vernon Luke. Oh, yeah. Who's an avid tennis player. Yep. And he had a few businesses and my friend and I would go out and we would clean his business, some of the businesses and do some maintenance work. And just, just whatever he needed done, we would go do. So that's, that was also a lot of fun too. Just a quick thing on Vernon, you know, he and I, when we play doubles together, we've never lost or undefeated. So, but he would always have me as his doubles partner. Yeah. Yeah. So, Ed, what other jobs have you had in the golf industry? I had a bunch. I started off as an apprentice golf assistant professional at Turtle Bay. And the apprenticeship is, is generally about three years. And you do everything that's required of you at the golf club.  And so I started there in 91. I got my membership in 94. And so I did my apprenticeship that there at Turtle Bay as an assistant golf professional, which was in, I think one of the best crews golf crews that I've ever worked with in my entire career. And a lot of us are still in the golf industry. And then from there, I was a head pro at Hawaii Prince recently after they opened the golf course there. Then I went actually joined up with Billy Casper golf, which is a management company. Oh, yeah. And I was with them for about 20 years. And from that point, I did a lot of training. I was a general manager at multiple facilities. I did receivership work for lenders and for the state. So I could allow, I did the receivership there. I did the receivership at Kanapali. I did some construction at Coral Creek. So we did the construction open at Coral Creek. Same thing at Pula K on Kauai. But Kokuiolono on Kauai also. And then I got to really build a territory and some work in business development throughout Asia. Wow. And that was, that was a lot of fun. And it took me all over Asia. Golf took me all over Asia. And it was a great experience. That's why I believe you are one of our state's top golf experts. Ed.  Ed. And you know, when you were at Punahou as Punahou schools golf director and head coach of the boys and girls varsity one teams. You won 17 state championships. I want to ask you what did you focus on with the players on your team? Yeah, first, first of all, yes, there are 17 state titles, but I won't say I want them. There is true. Team effort and it takes a lot of effort amongst the kids. And, you know, they're all great kids and they work really hard. And so we have to answer your question. I think it's, it's really setting a tone for the program, giving them goals and objectives to work for. And not just goals for the year or the season, but really giving them sort of a visual feedback. About what the program is about, what the expectations are, the program. And so they're always working for a bigger goal. Not just tomorrow, but really down the line, you know, two, three, four, five, 10 years down the line. And I instill in them that even though they're playing for us for a very short period of time, but they're setting the table for future golfers to come together. And so the way that they play the way to conduct themselves and the professionalism, you know, is really important because the younger kids will look up to them. And as a 17, 18 year old, being a mentor is a new concept to a lot of them. But I teach them, I want to instill in them that there is some responsibility that they hold. Because there are younger kids looking up to them and watching the way they conduct themselves in the golf course, the way to handle themselves, how hard they work at things. And so having them sort of have that back out of mind that they're working for the future, the future of the program, that I think that lends itself to being successful.  What did you focus on with your assistant coaches, you know, so that you guys are all, you know, preaching the same message and trying to achieve that high culture of excellence? You know, I looked at the opportunity to work with the coaches is also similar to with the kids that I'm trying to build a skill maybe that they're, they want to refine a little bit more or give them an opportunity to lead where they haven't had the opportunity prior to. One of my players in the past became, you know, came back to coach for the program while she's in college. And, you know, I looked at that, I really encouraged her to coach because I think it would build a lot of confidence in her and give her, give her some opportunities to lead a group of people where maybe she didn't have that opportunity in the past and then as that, as she would do that, that will build a skill set maybe that she didn't have before didn't have the opportunity to develop before. And so I look at the assistant coaches and the head coaches of the other teams as really an opportunity for them to learn more, experience more and then to build skill sets that maybe they don't have or they want to refine. And you and you and I both know that it's super difficult to win one state championship, let alone multiple championships. So I want to ask you, you know, looking back at the 17 state championships, what, what allowed your teams to achieve success but also to sustain success year after year? You know, I think part of it is to take the individual, not focus on the individual aspects of the play but more as a group and a group goals. And then as soon as each individual can take sort of have the individual themselves take a step back and put the team goals in front of them individually. That's that I think that's where you start seeing success as an organization or a group or a team that when the team goals can become priority for everybody and everyone's on the same page, then everyone's working toward the same goal.  They're probably different plans and agendas and goals. And a lot of times they don't mesh together. And so in order to really achieve team goals, organizational goals that everyone's got to be on the same page, everyone's got to put their individual selves sort of in the same seat of the team. And, you know, that's what we try to that's what I preach and that's what I really try to instill in the kids because, you know, beyond beyond high school golf, that's that's a skill that will carry them through the rest of their lives. And I like hearing that and, you know, golf is an individual sport just like tennis and wrestling and track. How would you, how would you make your teams feel like a real team that everything we talked about and everything instruction and strategy and those types of things always centered around the team. And as soon as we had some experience where there was maybe some individual aspirations taking, taking sort of a forefront that it was addressed and addressed in a positive way, but that team goals and objectives of the team are first. And then if, if everyone could put the team first and have those goals and objectives six achieved, then all the individual goals will happen automatically. There's just that's the way it works. And so having everyone focus on a sort of team first and a team of goals and objectives, it actually will take care of everything individually for themselves also at the same time. I love hearing that. But it won't work, but it won't work the other way. Yeah. If someone puts focus on the individual goals, that doesn't mean the team goals will be achieved. I love hearing that. Ed, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to continue going beyond the greens. You're watching beyond the lines on think tech Hawaii with my special guest, Ed Kageyama. We will be back in a quick minute. My name is Mitch Ewan. I'm from the Hawaii Natural Energy Institute. And I'm the host of Hawaii, the state of clean energy. We're on every Wednesday at four o'clock. And we hope that we have interesting guests who talk to us about various energy things that are happening in Hawaii all the way from PV, the windmills, the hydrogen, most of my heart, electric buses and electric vehicles. So please dial in every Wednesday at four o'clock on Hawaii, the state of clean energy. Aloha. Welcome back to Beyond the Lines on think tech Hawaii. My special guest today is the former Punahou School golf director who won 17 state golf championships. And he's the current head coach for HPU's men's and women's golf teams. He is Ed Kageyama. And today we are going beyond the greens. And I want to ask you if you have a story about, you know, coming from behind and being resilient with your teams. Sure. A few years ago at a state tournament, the guys were playing at Turtle Bay. And the first day, the body language just wasn't good. They, you know, they weren't playing very well. Heads were down.  They're actually becoming much more negative and pessimistic. And, you know, obviously, and so we were, we were second with many strokes behind the leading team. And so at the meal, our team dinner after the round, we sat down with them. We talked about positivity and just being positive. And then how, you know, how body language and attitudes have a lot to do with outcomes when we're playing sports and golf. And that when you have sort of these more positive outlook and things that you actually start getting lucky bounces.  So as if you have a more negative mindset, you tend to become more of a victim, a victim mentality of a victim of the situation that has happened to me. And then it becomes a downward cycle, a downward spiral that at some point in time, you hit bottom where you got to break the cycle. And so the whole focus on the second day was being positive and just being positive about everything. And every coach, she used the term gratitude and having gratitude about just being on the golf course being is a beautiful day and just a gratitude of the opportunity that it starts creating more of this positive mindset.  And then, you know, these lucky bounces will just happen. And during the tournament, a couple of guys missed a couple of shots, but they rolled through the trees and onto the green. One of them actually hit a shot that hit the flag stick on a par five hit the green and two on a par on an 18th hole. And what normally would have probably bounced over the green and left them in a very bad spot. It actually hit the flag stick and dropped about a foot from the hole. And so it's just these things that, you know, when you have more positive, more positive outlook and positive mindset that, you know, these things just happen. And that's why it's important that I always stress to all my players that just being positive, these things happen and you get the good breaks. And we ended up winning the state title coming from behind and it's just very lucky, very fortunate that a series of events happened and then we had enough in the end and we ended up coming from behind and winning. I totally agree with you.  Now let's talk about your, your HPU golf teams. I mean, this is your first year as head coach. Tell me, tell me about your HPU golf team and you know, what are your goals for the team this year?  They're all really motivated, good student-athletes. They get a juggle between college life, studying for exams, doing other homework and then also working at their golf. And so they, you know, they're all dedicated. They're all working really hard and it's a really good, fun group of kids to be around. And so I am really enjoying it. I do have goals that, you know, I want to be winning or contending in the Pac-West. You know, I want to make some NCAA appearances and there is a process to that. And you know, what the exciting part about it is being able to put the pieces together to, you know, achieve those goals and work, you know, every day work, you know, take one step closer to achieving those goals. And so hopefully we can get there in a few years. But the recruiting process is a lot of fun and it's something new that I have to learn about and it's great seeing a lot of you, your kids who want to come to Hawaii, want to come to HPU and play some golf.  Well, you're a great leader Ed and I think it's just going to be a great situation on both ends. And I want to ask you too, you run the BMW golf tournament here in Hawaii and can you tell me more about that? So the BMW worldwide puts on the largest amateur golf tournament in the world. And so that it culminates in a, the world championships and that rotates around the world. And so there is a US final, which is at Pinehurst every year in the fall. And so we have the Hawaii regional qualifier here in May. So every spring we have the qualifier here and then the winners from that tournament will go on into Pinehurst and compete in Pinehurst.  And for Hawaii contingency, we've actually had some very good success on national qual, national winners going on to the world final and some going to Dubai who I got to go with them to Dubai, South Africa, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Argentina. And so it's, my goal is to create this experiential once in a lifetime opportunity for people who can make it that far. And we've been very successful in that and it's a very fun job for me. And I heard that Hall of Fame NBA basketball player Ray Allen was very honored to play golf with you. I don't know if he was honored, but we were honored. Yeah, I got a call from through some Nike friends who, Ray Allen was in town. He did some clinics for basketball. He and his friend Kevin Olly who they both played in the NBA together were in town and they had some free time and so they wanted to play some golf. So my son is a big basketball fan and has a great opportunity to take my son and share the experience with my son. And Ray Allen, he's actually a really good, he's got long arms, long levers and actually can hit the ball really far. And so it was a lot of fun. And so my son knew all about Ray Allen even though it's sort of my generation of player but he knew all about Ray Allen. He knew all about the shot that Ray Allen made to win the game and we go on to force the game seven final I think is what it was. I remember that. Yeah, it was a special opportunity, special experience for my son and I. And I want to talk with you about a part in my book about a mindset and looking forward to challenges. How would you get your teams in the right mindset to really look forward to adversities and challenges that inevitably it's going to happen in the season? Yeah, that's an interesting question. That's a good question. And part of it is really about goal setting and that if we can set goals, lofty, not necessarily lofty goals but goals further down the line then you can paint a big picture for everyone on the team. And if everyone can understand sort of the big picture of what we're trying to do as these small hurdles in life and in our golf round come up we can always stick to sort of a big picture plan. We can kind of go over those bumps in our round and maybe in the round or one round maybe not be as good but as long as we keep moving forward and everyone keeps that mindset of sort of the big picture what we have planned on the big picture then the small little hurdles that we come through we can just get past them as soon as we can to come and go and then we move on. Another part in my book Beyond the Lines, we talk about environment and how would you get your teams to deal with the crowds or wet and windy conditions or how would you have your players be in the right mindset to deal with the environment? It's part of that gratitude thing where we're looking forward to the opportunity to be there and that's simply it. We're not trying to go out and shoot a score or try to win or anything like that. There's not specific goals like that but just that we have gratitude to being out there. It's a great opportunity that not everyone gets this opportunity to do this and so we should be relishing in the opportunity and environment to go do this and specifically talking to sort of maybe people being nervous in front of crowds or something that being nervous in that environment is actually something that actually is very positive and I stress that to the kids that if you're not nervous about it then it's probably not special and so being nervous about it is a sign that it's a special place a special opportunity, a special environment and to bathe yourself in this feeling of being nervous which is really just it's a positive environment and not to fight being nervous or trying not to be nervous because then you're trying to suppress some of these feelings and it becomes more of a negative type of experience but let the nervousness and everything just wash all over you and just bathe in the opportunity and then you can turn into a positive and then you can really have this positive outlook when you go out and perform and for them you know when they're nervous I mean it shows me that they care about what they're doing I mean I would be nervous if they weren't nervous right, right that's exactly it it's a great opportunity and you should be excited about it so Ed I want to ask you one more thing why are you a successful leader and coach? you know a couple things that I think that I'm a team builder I believe that in order to sort of achieve goals you need to build things and so it's finding people that fit certain roles objectives and finding people with sort of a like mindset and so you put all these pieces together and then you create this culture of success although I won't define success as winning necessarily it's more of achieving goals and if we can achieve goals then we're successful and so I'm a firm believer in that that you know me all the people on the team I'm the least important person I don't swim club I don't make a putt my role is really I drive the car get everyone to the golf course and give them the opportunity to go play golf and so it's up to everyone on the team to really you know do their job and go out and support each other and play for each other and then that's when you start sort of achieving the goals that you set forth Ed I really appreciate you taking time to be on the show today I mean and sharing those super great insights about you know why you guys are so good through so many years and I know that your teams at HPU will have that kind of success with you as well well hope so thank you very much and thank you for the opportunity and hopefully I'll be back here one day talking about HPU golf after we win the national title totally thanks for your time Ed thanks Rusty thank you and thank you for watching Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii and a special thank you to my clothing sponsor Eolani Incorporated please visit RustyKamori.com and my book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble I hope that Ed and I will inspire you to create your own superior culture of excellence and to find your greatness and help others find theirs Aloha


Hello everyone, this is Christian. So there's a question about Mobile First, and it's a great topic that most of you posted on discussion. So I want to just do a short video to show you how to load CSS or style sheets to your web page based on needs, meaning based on certain breakpoints. So you can kind of see it live and see how that works. So here is an example of that. So here we have two style sheets. I call it the red and the blue. I just put the star. It's a wild card that applies to the entire web page. So when I load it to the HTML, you know, but again, the one that takes precedent is the one that's closer to the content, so in this case, red. You see that when I load the regular style sheet this way on the browser, if I go to the elements under the styles here, you'll see both the red and the blue are loaded here. So the blue is crossed out because the red takes over, okay? So it doesn't matter what size. I use here. And the size you can see up here on the top right is the look at just the Y axis, okay? Well, the X axis, actually the width. So it takes over in that case. So that means that whether the blue is used or not, it's still get loaded. And if imagine your style sheets have like hundreds or thousands of lines in there, some of those may not be needed at all because you do not take care of that, it's gonna get loaded and it'll be used to calculate the render to the browser anyway. So sometimes if you have a lot of CSS stuff there, maybe some of those don't really need to be loaded, okay? Because if you have a lot of them, they can actually cause some performance issues. So we learned that you can actually, you know, set a certain breakpoint to your devices. Now we're looking at, you know, mobile devices, different screens, and so you can go down here and let me go ahead and turn this red off and I'll use, let's say I want to design using two different devices, okay? Different screen size. And based on the screen size, it will load the red or the blue, okay? So the blue, though that the red means I have a minimum width of 600 pixels. So that means that as long as the screen size is greater than 600 pixels, the red will apply. And the blue will not apply until the minimum width is, you know, greater than 800. But because 800 is actually greater than 600, that means the red will still apply, right? So if you look over here right now, we're at, okay, we're at about 740, okay? 740 because we did not reach the blue yet. The red is already been reached. So therefore you see the red only applies. What this means is that even though I loaded two style sheets here, okay? The blue is not actually being used at all so that it was not being rendered to your browser. So all the content inside, all the code inside this block will not be rendered.  Until I stretch this out, if I reach over to 800, you see that blue comes back on. Even though, you know, the blue is not being used, it gets turned on because why the rules here still apply, right? So the blue is the red takes president because it's loaded first. So therefore now the blue is turned on but the red is still on. Why? Well, because, you know, 800 is actually it meets this criteria. So how do you prevent that from happening? I want to load on the red when, you know, a certain time. If you want to keep it so that every time certain, you know, things will load at the 600 pixel, you put it here. Maybe a certain times you want to do something like, you know what, when I reach, so the red only this gets displayed or render between 600 and let's say, you know, 800. So that's what you put here at the end. At the end, I'm going to put here at the max width now, it's at eight, I'll put 799, okay? So the 800 is the break point for the other one. So as long as between, you know, 699 only the red will run and they want to reach 800, the red gets turned off. You can see over here now because we already over the 800 mark. Okay, okay, it's connected. I don't want to connect that one. Okay, I want to just do the screen. Okay, so here is at 810, okay? Because 810 supersedes the 799, the red is turned off. But if I go below that, right? So you see now the red gets turned on but the blue is now turned off because the minimum is 800 and we're now below 800. Okay, so then you do the same thing for the blue. If the blue reaches a certain width, you know, let's say 1200, then that gets turned on and so forth. And this is how you load CSS based on needs based on different screen sizes. Okay, you can do here and the CSS, like I just showed you here, sometimes, you know, you want to do on the link tag as opposed to what you see here. Or you can do both, but you have to be kind of careful because get a little bit confusing. So let's say that I'm gonna go back to what I had before, I'm gonna turn this off, okay? Assume that the blue will get turned on when between 800 and 1200, the red gets turned on only six and 800, okay? So up here on the style sheet, we load the style sheet. Go back to the school room before, right? So I want to load the blue. You put here the media tag and you put here the minimum width. I want to load the blue only when I reached 800. Let's call it 801, okay? 801, PX, and I want to turn it off when I have the max width at 1200. So only runs when you reach that width. So now you can see that the blue is now turned off until I reached the 800 pixel minimum. If you go on the rice, you see that now it gets to 800 and boom, there it is, blue comes on, okay? If I go above that until 1200, then the blue will actually go away right about now. Here we go, right? You can see I load only the one that I need, okay? So that is how you would tackle this problem.  Right, so this one, let's say I put here 600, 600 to 800. So I load to this, so now the order here is not, it doesn't matter anymore in this case, if I'm loading this way, because the numbers here will get calculated based on the screen size. So right now, because I'm below 600, I mean below 800 and 600, the red gets loaded, right? Okay, because I auto range back to default. If I go above 800, the red is now disappeared. As you can see down here, it's gone. The blue, it's loaded and then until I move up to 100 and then the blue goes away. So again, the order is not important anymore. If I swap the two, you can see here, okay? You can see that it doesn't matter, right? Because it's based on the screen size now. So yeah, I hope that helps. You can understand how you can load certain CSS to your page based on the screen size. It's important you put a range. If you don't want to put a range here, that means sometimes, let's say, as long as it's more than 600, I want to apply this rule to some rules to the page. But there's also times that when a certain range, certain maximum width, you only apply certain things. So in that case, it's not really that useful doing this case. So in this situation, you have to go down here and add more midi queries just to block off a certain tags or a certain feature and only apply to that certain condition, okay? So I hope this helps. And a great question, great poll, so keep those coming. And I look forward to reading more of your discussions. Thank you so much, bye.


Crop land, rangeland, the principles don't change. So I started on the crop land soil health practices and now that I've been working with Leland in the rangeland management side of it, the principles don't change. You need water infiltration, you need to cycle nutrients, keep a green living plant as long as you can during the year. Livestock integration, obviously on the rangeland that's a given but total of the whole landscape, the principles don't change.


Now, let's look at how do you advertise your brand? How do companies communicate their value proposition, their pricing, the branding, their positioning to the customers and that's advertising. Let's start with a definition of what is advertising. So, advertising is how a company communicates to its customers about the products and services, about the value proposition and creates a position. But not just the way we normally talk. Advertising have to excite the customer, inform the customer, engage the customer, but also educate and enable the customer to make a decision. Because the decision is for the customer, once they understand the brand position, the brand value and the pricing, etc., to go out and buy the product. And good advertising influences our emotions, our perceptions, our behaviors, about how often we buy, how much do we buy, how loyal are we to the company or the brand, etc. And as you know, that many of the brands advertise a lot. If you open television, if you are on social media, Facebook or Instagram, if you're reading a magazine, you will see advertisements. So who advertises? So who are the top advertisers? Globally, the largest by far is a company called Procter & Gamble. And I work for that company for almost 14 or 15 years. And the advertising budget in 2021, and you can see that in the link in the slide, is about $11.5 billion. That's about 80 to 90,000 crore rupees. And then Amazon, close to Procter & Gamble, about $10.9 billion. And then you can go down the list of just how much this company's advertise to grow their business, L'Oreal, which is into cosmetics and shampoos, etc. Samsung, many of you will be using a Samsung phone. Alibaba, Chinese company, not very common in India. But some of you may be exposed to it. Unilever, or in India as it's called, Hindustan Leaver, very big advertiser, and he's got many brands. So Procter & Gamble, if you look at the brands, it's Tide, it's Arial, it's Head & Shoulder, it's Pantene, it's Ole, it's Whisper, it's Pampers. Those are the brands that Procter & Gamble would advertise. Unilever, it will advertise Dove, or some of the food brands like Kisan. And then if you go down, you have Nestle, which is also a very big advertiser, and some of the brands that they advertise are Nescafe, Maggie, Cerilac, and so on. The other two brands, not so popular in India, Comcast and LVMH, but the 10th, of course, most of you, probably all of you, will be using it, it's called Google. And it advertises. So now what are the key elements of advertising? Advertising costs money because you have to spend money when you advertise. And therefore it starts with the central circle, is what is the goal of your advertisement? What are you trying to achieve through your advertising? Build awareness of your brand or a customer value proposition? Is it an educational program? Is it an excitement program? So what's the goal? Grow sales, make yourself more profitable because you want to take up your price. And then the budget. How much money that you want to spend on advertising? Because if you're advertising, for example, in the IPL, the cricket event is very expensive. Even a 10 second or a one minute television advertisement is very, very expensive. So it starts with the goals and budgets. And then you need to have a strategy, a marketing strategy, how your advertising supports your overall marketing. And those of you are interested in advertising as a career, I encourage you to go deeper by taking courses either on NPTEL or at your own college or in some other platform or do an MBA in marketing. But at a very high level, after you got your marketing strategy, the creative part comes in because all advertisements are not the same. Advertisements, whether you see it on TV or you see it on a newspaper or a magazine or you see it on YouTube or Facebook, generally is very creative. There's a story, there's an idea. And that's very important because it requires creativity. And it also requires a lot of graphic design and television production and copywriting and so on. And we'll show you some example later on on advertising. And if you want an advertising career, you must develop your creativity and your ability to communicate. And then the next thing is which media and platforms will advertise in. And you look at some of those examples in a minute.  And there are dashboards which most of the companies will use to track and they're tracking companies which will give you the data. And finally from business point of view, the head of marketing or the head of the company will decide is that advertising campaign successful? And that comes under effective execution. And if you're successful, you continue with the advertising because you're getting the sales, you're getting the profits, you're building the awareness. But if it's not getting other results, you probably change the idea or you change the advertising or you change the platform. So what are some of the channels? What are some of the top media channels? If you look at the preference, and again the link is given there, global consumer, most of you are consumers. You'll use the product. So what you will like to look at are events, sponsored events like World Cup cricket, or a football league or a cricket league like IPL or the Olympics, a sponsored event or cinema ads when you go to watch Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan or any other stars movies, you see a few advertisements and you're okay to see them as part of the cinema that you are watching. Out of home ads, what you see all the hoardings or the billboards in the roads. And we'll show you some examples. Point of sales ads in the store or in the e-commerce platform. And digital out of home ads which are the electronic signboards that you see sometimes when you're on the road. And similarly, market years also prefer online video ads, events, et cetera. So these are standard media channels. So now which are the brands which are advertisement brands? Which means that these are the brands or platforms which actually give you advertising. For example, YouTube or TikTok. Manufacturers like Procter & Gamble, Ori Enilever or Nestle or Nike or Adidas or Tatas or Goldrage or Samson can advertise on a platform called YouTube or on a platform called Google or on a platform called TikTok or Instagram or on Spotify or on Amazon. Because when you go to Amazon, you'll see sponsored products. So you can actually advertise your brand or your product on any of those products. And these advertising platforms are brands on their own rights. Coming to India and just to give you a feel who are the top advertisers in India? We saw the global example before. So if you look at India, the biggest is actually Hindustan Lever because Hindustan Lever is very big in India. It's not the biggest in the world but it's very big in India. And then I look at Wrecked Bankizer, et cetera, which has several brands. Then we've got Goldrage consumer products. You've got Brookbond Lipton, and if you go down the list, you've got Cadbury's. Many of you will be having Cadbury's or Bonevita or any of the Cadbury's brands. Then we've got ITC, ITC cigarettes, ITC hotels, ITC consumer brands like Fiuma, ITC chocolates like Febel. And then if you go down the list, you see Britannia, a lot of brisket brands, food brands, like Parle G, very popular brisket brand. Flipkart itself advertises. And then we've got Ponds India. Many of you may be using a Ponds cream. And of course Procter & Gamble, which is the biggest in the world advertiser but not the biggest in India. This is just to give you a feel of different companies who are advertising in many different ways. And this was the top Indian TV advertisers. Now let's look at what different kinds of advertising are there. And if you look at the screen, you will see there are types of advertising like print advertising. I'll show you some examples in a while. Direct mailing, television, radio, movie, in-store, outdoor. And then you start getting into the electronic media like SMS. Many of you will be getting SMS advertising. I get a lot. And it's irritating so many I get because it just clutters my phone. And they're gonna social media advertising and influence the marketing. Many of you may actually be social media influencers. And many social media influencers have a huge following on Facebook or Instagram. And the social media influencers actually earn money from the brands to influence the behavior and the choice and the purchase of potential customers like maybe yourself or me. And then you've got page search and so on. I'll show you some examples in a while and they get into endorsement marketing. So let's look at some examples. Print ads. If you open a newspaper, most of the newspaper will carry advertisements like this. There will be in magazines. And if you walk into a store, especially a supermarket, Star Bazaar or D-Mart, you'll probably get a pamphlet where some advertisement is there, either the product or the price, the promotions. So that's a print ad. And this is from a newspaper. So you can see these two companies advertising on the newspaper. This is TV ads. Most Indians, most of you, would have watched the IPL or the World Cup. And as you watch the match, you see a lot and lot of TV advertisements for different brands, different companies, different products. In-store ads. So if you walk into a store, you'll find a lot of signage. This is not an Indian store, but you can make out in the picture signages for brands, posters, or stickers. Any of the stores that you walk in, you'll probably see in-store advertisements. Sometimes you'll find a person in the store and here you see an example of an ITC person who is talking to you and promoting the ITC products. And they're called ITC or whichever brand they represent, promoters. Or in general, in-store promoters. By the way, you can also see a Kellogg standee out there which advertises the Kellogg brands. And then you see those small stickers out there which is probably promoting and showing a discount for the juice brands. So you see in-store promotions, in-store promoters, and in-store signage. Outdoor ads. So if you're driving down, you'll see a lot of hoardings or billboards like in the picture which advertises different brands and products. So these are outdoor on the roads. This is sports advertising. So if you go to a sports arena, like the World Cup final, the Amidabad Cricket Stadium that is there or any of the cricket stadium or football stadium, you'll see that there's a lot of advertisement which happens within the stadium itself at the sporting event. So these are sports advertising. Coming to the more digital advertisement, social media advertising. All of you are familiar with it, whether on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Spotify, et cetera. You will see advertisement in your feet. Moving on, search advertisement. So whenever you do a Google search, and I've got an extract here, you can do a search yourself. Along with the search results, you will probably see some pictures or some advertisement of certain products. So in this case, I search for Indian soaps. But along with the search results, I got an advertisement for actual Indian soap brands and products. So these are called search ads and companies can pay for them. And whenever you or me or any other target customer does a search on Google or some of the search engines, you can see those advertisements. And these are called search ads. Google is the largest. And there is a whole methodology to search ads. Then there is search engine optimization, which means that if you and I or anyone searches for a certain product, which hit or which page, which kind of product or which site does Google or Bing or Dug-Dug-Go show right up front? Because when you search for something, there may be one million hits. But nobody goes beyond the first or the second page, which means beyond the first 20 or 40 or 50. Nobody looks at the million others. The key is how do you get your product, your website, your page into the first page, preferably on top of the search? And there's a whole science to it. And that's called search engine optimization or SEO. And again, those of you want to build an advertising, a career in digital advertising, should do follow-up courses and train yourself on digital advertising, which is a very hot field nowadays. Endosment ads are when celebrities, film stars or cricket stars or Virat Kohli or Amitabh Bachchan or any of the foreign celebrities, endorse a product in any platform, on a TV or an e-commerce platform, as you can see in the picture here, or in a social media platform. So these are called endorsement ads because the celebrity is endorsing that product. And you and I, as ordinary customers and consumers, if you see a celebrity endorsing a product or a brand, chances are we'll go and buy it. So that's an endorsement. With that, let's look at the second reflection point. Based on what I've shared about advertising, think of a brand that you use regularly. How is it advertised? Think about how it's advertised. Is it online, offline, in store, on the road? In digital platforms, in Google, in Facebook? Think about what is the key message in the advertisement. Think about how effective is the advertisement. Think about how have you been influenced by the advertisement to purchase that brand or the product? So reflect on these points and make some notes on your course journal. Now what are the marketing skills that you need to develop if you want to build a career in marketing? And I've highlighted what is really very important in today's world, especially the digital marketing skills. Some of it is common for all kinds of marketing. But digital marketing is particularly attractive for young people. So let me talk you through some of the skills you can develop through a specialized course or in your college or through an MBA or some other program. First of all, you need to learn about social media and internet advertising. There are many courses out there and programs which teaches you these skills. How to do great advertising on Facebook or Google or Instagram or YouTube. More importantly, you must develop your customer and market research skills which are talked about in the very first module of this course. You need to develop your analytical skills and strategic planning skills because your marketing and your advertising program and your digital campaign has to be based on data that you collect from the customers, build those skills. On the creativity side, because marketing is not just about data and analysis. It's also about a lot of creativity. So to develop your creativity skills, you have to develop your storytelling skills. You may not be telling the story, but you need to build an advertisement which tells a story about your product or your service. You have to develop about user interfaces. The user interface is basically an app or a web page or a site where the user interacts to use the product, buy the product or the service. For example, the Amazon app or the Tata apps or any of the apps or web pages that you use to interact with or buy a product. And then of course, campaign design and content creation. So these are the creativity skills and the communication skills that I encourage you to develop to become a great marketer and a great advertiser. So with that, we come to the end of this module. Namaskar, thank you.


My name is Ashod Nakashyan and I'm a contributor to the LibreOffice. It all started before LibreOffice really when I got interested in the code and the project. But it wasn't until a couple of years back when I was working on a particularly large document and LibreOffice was crashing on me at the most inopportune of times. And that's when I thought, you know, it's the only thing that I can do best. It's just, you know, fixed bugs. So I got the code and I ran it under the debugger and just found the problem immediately and submitted my first patch. And yeah, from there on I've been contributing ever since. So it's been almost 18 months now that I've been an active contributor. It was extremely cooperative and friendly. I should say distinctly so compared to other large projects of a similar size, I would say the community is very welcoming, very helpful. I got assistance immediately and they set me up, helped me with getting the patch reviewed and committed as soon as possible. So the experience was actually very much empowering. I wanted to go for the next one, which I did. Get the source code, read the documentation, how to get it built. Ask on the mailing list. You'll get immediate responses and just start working on something you find interesting and fun.


I am a 21-year-old tech for social good enthusiast. I also co-creator iCut, an application that we first developed while in high school as a solution to a problem around us. And that was a challenge. And I remember when we came together and identified female genital mutilation, it was a little bit difficult to think how could we get a problem that is so cultural, into, into and, and, and have it into tech and have a viable solution to it. One of the things we identified was that young girls who like to seek assistance and escape the cut did not get quite that smooth transition to people who are actually willing to help them in terms of police, police centers, rescue centers and also hospitals. It is estimated that over three million girls have underconfidential mutilation. It is also important that you realize that through this service, we are also noticing a decrease in the number of girls being cut over the years. In case of urgency and the need of immediate action, one can be able to call and dispatch through to the child helper in service. We also have a feature that enables one to message. In case of unknown planned practice activity that's about to happen, then one can also message.  So we believe by giving girls the actual right and the actual power to say, no, I don't want to be cut. That is giving them back their own voices and leading up to equality in this world.
