Good morning, everyone. Happy Friday, December 29th, 2023, last trading day in December. All the indices have dipped into the red just a little bit. So, will we finish 2023 with a push up or push down? Pestle up about two-thirds of a percent, bite you up a little under one percent, kind of the two strongest stocks right now. Everything else is pretty much below that or slightly in the red. Uber is down one and a third percent. So, I'll try to just get a couple trades in here and probably be done pretty quick today with it being Friday and the last trading day of the year. It's a reminder that markets are closed Monday, so I'll just be really glad to get through into the new year and get a little bit of normalcy back, you know, sometimes in the Christmas break and then there's light trading, volume is low, and then after Christmas, you got new years. So, just be glad to get back on the regular schedule or we don't have market closed. I was going to ring here in about 15 seconds. I will probably be just, again, just a little conservative on my entries today, just like it had been the last few days. Morning bumblebee. I'm not sure. I'll take a look at it, see what premiums look like after maybe the first 10 minutes or so, kind of see what they look like. Bell has run, run a lot of stocks in the red, hand full in the green, tech stocks look like they are the strongest, S&P flat, NASDAQ up 10 points, Dow down 10 points. See what the SPX0 DTE looks like. Yeah, I mean, I might probably enter a morning iron condor here. I don't usually, I kind of like to enter them about 15 minutes after the bell is rung because sometimes you get a push up one way or the other and throws it off center right out of the gates. I know a lot of the zero DTE traders, they backtest, you know, what time to get in and all that. I've been so successful since I started paper trading and then moving even to real money that I haven't dipped my toe in the backtesting yet, but I can tell you that it's probably just, I continue to be successful. So I haven't changed anything, but I've just noticed whenever I do my trade, the iron condor, if I give it 10, 15 minutes, usually does a little better because it doesn't push out a center right. Like, you know, sometimes it does out of the gates, but there is no scientific evidence that I have to support that. Yeah, it's kind of on my, it's kind of on my goal. It's one of my, on my to do maybe I should say in 2024 is to start doing it more. Got some stocks pushing up, some pushing down. That's a lot of rough day yesterday. I pretty much just bled lower the entire day. Get our second bar here now. You can see it looks like it's pretty weak here with some of these stocks. Don't have too high a hopes to catch a volume runner out of the gates. Disney pushing up, target pushing up, not seeing any volume. Couple minutes left here. It's actually getting some volume, but it's in the opposite direction. Less than a minute to go, not really seeing anything I wild about. Posted my morning iron condor in the zero DTE live chat channel. Wait, after we get off, I'll obviously publish my December results. Like I always do every month. And I will also post my year results for the mighty 90 volume runner and continuation runner. So excited for that. Just kind of took a brief look at it this morning and that mighty 90 this year for me was extremely strong, I guess. I haven't figured up December's yet, but January through November, I had 126 winners, 45 losers. I think that's over 70% win percentage on the mighty 90s. And so I was really happy about that to see in the high win percentage on those mighty 90s that really all year were awesome. All right, speaking of mighty 90s, let's see if we can find one here. Definitely not going to force anything today with it being probably a light trading day. Also, unless something disastrous happens today, I've guaranteed that I was in the green every single month of 2023 for these three strategies that I trade here. Did not have one red month. My lowest was about $2034 in April. So doing this 10 to 12 times a month for an hour and being able to have $2,000 be the lowest I made in a month, that's pretty happy with that. So Roku catching some volume here. Two minutes left, but price really isn't going anywhere. So that's no bueno. Amazon kind of struggled yesterday too. Trying to push through highs of day. It's futures doing. So I'm not really seeing anything after this third volume bar. Roku flipped red. I did have two nice winners yesterday in the zero GT iron condors, morning iron condor, and a lunchtime iron condor that really nice winners have to about noon today. I've got a leave for a family Christmas in Lincoln, Nebraska. So we'll be able to trade any noon or power hours today. Sometimes these days where the market just chops and there's not much trading, that's pretty good. If you're looking for a price to stay within a certain range. So still no mighty nineties. Volume looking pretty low. Tell my 15 year old to keep it down in the background. It's going to be interesting to see what 2024 holds for the cryptos. Seems the last couple of months they've kind of made a little bit of a rebound after just really, you know, the crypto crash. Hard to tell what 2024 will bring, but be something to keep an eye on. You kind of see Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, just really light volume. Nothing. Yeah. I did hear something about the ETF. The ETF Riot blockchain. Got that on here, I think. Used to trade it. Yeah, Riot sitting at almost $18. I bought a lot of shares when it was down to four and $5. I've just been holding them. Got a good return on that from this year. BTO, is that the ticker symbol? I do, I do, I do. Why did I not hold those calls I had? Man, it would have been, ugh, I bailed on them down here. Look at that. About five points in the last two days. That's a new crypto ETF, I guess, or BlackRock is what I just heard about a new ETF. None of my, I don't much about it. So still just nothing. Look at this. Netflix. Look out. Look how tight this ranges in Netflix. And it's a $490 stock. Gotcha. Thanks, OP4. NTT trades. I did close out. Yes, I did. And I think it reminds me, I did post the, and post my outs in the NTT channel. I'm like, I forgot about doing that. I closed everything yesterday. Except by do I close the day before. I got a member to do that. Man, when you're leading a live stream and you're making video reviews and sometimes it's hard to remember to do everything. Posting zero DTE trades. So again, just nothing really. Microsoft pushing highs of day. Try to be better. I was just real busy yesterday when I closed a couple of those out. So I'll look for some continuation runners here because I'm not seeing any volume runners or mighty 90s. I mean, potentially Netflix here, but the, I'll look at Netflix and toss. Just seems, it's just a very tight range. So I mean, it would qualify as a mighty 90. It's just that the range is so tight. Maybe if it comes down to yesterday's low here, I'll go in, but I probably would go in small. See, I came down to yesterday's low and bounced. So let me try that. And trading the seven DTEs today, seven DTEs. So just going to do smaller than normal here. 490 calls in Netflix. Built at 635. So before it to bounce here, actually, you know what? Maybe I should have waited. This bar may get bigger than the first. It could be a, I just noticed that could be a downside volume runner. Yeah, I wouldn't get into Netflix if you haven't right now, because it looks like that bar is going to get bigger than the first. So I'm going to close my Netflix here. Built at 635. So I closed it for what I opened it when this will bounce up. So I'm going to really, I'm not even going to count that one because after I placed the trade, I then realized that this bar was started growing real rapidly. So I won't even count that one there because it was scratch trade. Mighty 90 short in Microsoft here now. Take a look at that. See Microsoft, I would trade the 375 puts. Built at 240. So 375 puts. Nice looking Mighty 90 here. Let's hopefully it looks like that in toss. Distinct volume pop. And then it pushed right back up to the top here. And that's where I got in. So definitely a good setup in terms of volume and where price is. I would close half at 265. And I will add to it if it pushes again. A lot of stocks chopping square bowing. When you don't get, when price doesn't move very much, it's hard to make profits. It's not really hasn't done anything. Netflix. Maybe I should have entered the downside volume runner. It looks like it's going to get another big red bar. It's like it turned around and bought some puts. But that's not moving very far meta not moving very far. See it looks like Microsoft has come down quite a bit. But because this range is so tight, morning iron condor is looking good sitting at center still. Amazon kind of looking like it wants to continue upward. So one red bar out of Microsoft. Netflix was another big red bar. Again, I've got a Microsoft order in at 265. 10% of 240 is 24 cents. So if you knew that's how I kind of scale out scale out half at 240 plus 24, just call it 265. So far so good on Microsoft. If it'll bounce off yesterday's high here, it's gonna have to push through it to film filming it for half. We look at Amazon getting a big green bar. Check that in toss. Toss is not big green bar. So it is a small bar and toss.  Amazon going through highs trying to get through highs of day. Microsoft I may have to just it's got three minutes left here. Hopefully finishes week. Again, not many opportunities here in terms of volume pushing through highs. So here's a good example of you think I would have gotten out of half by now because I got in up here at Microsoft and it came all the way down to yesterday's low. I'm sorry, yesterday's high as blue line. But I haven't gotten filled on half. So that's goes to show you if it's got a tight range, even though it's got a good signal here, it's hard to make profits. Now it flips green. There are stocks coming down to lows of day. Tesla meta. Amazon's pushed through lows of day. Roku's coming down. And this he's a pretty flat. Boba falling. Well, I suppose I'll close my Microsoft out. It kind of looks like it wants to go higher because it's not really resisting. Like it's really it's really resisting this yesterday's high. Like it wants to continue higher. So it looks like it's going to give us another red bar or not. Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and close it out here. It's just gave me a second red bar filled at 249. So got in at 240 and filled at 249 after two red bars. Honestly, looks like it wants to continue higher here. Push up a little pause. I mean, if it comes back down to the blue line here, this stays high, might not be a bad time to try to get some continued upward movement. Yeah, exactly. It's like at this point where we're at in the trading day in years, might as well just take your small profit. I was looking at Tesla down here. I mean, it's not a great mighty 90 set up, but it was it came down to lows of day. So yeah, look at Microsoft pop up. I knew it. S&P actually pushed through highs of day to look at futures. Yeah, kind of pushed through this little consolidation. Yeah, Tesla. I was I was thinking about a mighty 90 and Tesla would have been awesome right when it came down and touched. And here's a good example of a key level, right? Okay, so one time it came down that lows of day popped up came back down to lows of day gave a little bit of a mighty 90 signal popped right back up. And I just got filled on something got filled on half of my iron condor already. Wow. So closed half at 20% profit. Yep. 100% correct fast. Yeah, must have. Must have had a little IV crush there. Amazon I thought it wanted to go higher to look at pushing up trying to get back some of what it lost yesterday. That would have been a good one. So I need to get an order in here for my iron condor just so it has a stop on it in cases, just freaks out and blasts upward. Now is that pushing up meta getting a bar almost as big as the first here. Only got 15 seconds left. So Netflix getting maybe a potential big green bar square did have a little mighty 90 there. Again, it's really tight range, but Microsoft couldn't get through highs. I had blockchains bleeding lower things coming down now. Future's pushed all the way back down. Russell bleeding lower square may get a bar as big as the first. Square has kind of been on it here lately. If you look at a daily chart, and it came up to where highs were back in July. So I wonder if it's going to start rolling over here. I think I'll stay away from square. Again, really tight range. Again, just not not seeing anything that's really worth trading. Delta neutral, I guess is the way to go today. While riot really fallen here, big bar. So it's Coinbase. It's interesting. The Snapchat pushed up. There's nothing but red since. Yeah, Square does have a volume runner. Let me check toss. It does look like it though. Let's just see if it bounces at all. Yeah, definitely a big volume bar. Square I would trade the 79 puts. Those are the bucks 71. This volume runner probably could get a better fill than me. Right. Blockchain volume runner to the downside as well. It's getting a little bit of a bounce right now. It might be a day where you just see some push downs, push ups, push downs, push ups. I've I got in Square because like I showed you earlier on that daily chart how strong it's been and I'm guessing maybe investors in Square maybe might start selling off today as it gets up here to kind of see if you look at a big picture going back to 2022. It hit a certain point dropped hit a certain point dropped hit a certain point dropped. Let's back up to that certain point. Nowhere near all time highs though. Netflix did push below that pivot. DKNG is kind of bleeding lower. Microsoft never able to break through that eyes of day Square trying to push up here. It's not going very far. Yeah, it's just like I said, it's hard. I mean, it looks like this is a pretty decent push. But it's only like three or four cents from where I entered because it's tight range. Again, that's why it's hard to make money when your price movement is such a tight range. So if it goes above right here, that price point where that big bar was started, then I will just bail on it. That's the failure of a volume runners when it pushes. In this case, a downside volume runner pushes above where the price started the big volume bar AMD, MU, Disney. Yeah, so I need I need Square to push through loads of day here now. See, I will I will close half of my Square at $1.88 futures coming down at a boy square. Now just keep pushing. Squared on 1% it's actually one of the weaker stocks on my board. That's it Square keep coming. Come on. Couple more ticks to fill me. Right. Coinbase continuing to fall. Look at that. They're big volume bar coinbase. Get out of half my Square here. Hit me. Hit me. Hit me to $1.86. I got an order in $1.88 adjusted to get filled here. See what it does in this last minute. It's 45 seconds left. Looks like it's going to finish week. Come on. Costco through loads of day and my new movement here, huh? Fill it at $1.87. So I adjusted it a penny. Looks like I would have gotten filled if I wouldn't have but still not wanting bounce to happen. Well, don't think I'm going to get in anything else. Okay, so for Square, I probably would get out of another contract of about every 15 cents. So like two bucks would be the next one I would get out of if it continues lower. If it pushes up and gets back above this bar right here, then I would just close it out. Otherwise, I'll just ride it lower. So I would close if it gets above $79, I guess that would be. So my hope is maybe, you know, if it's going to produce a green bar here that rolls over again and just starts to bleed lower like some of these others. And by the pushing up, it's killing me. APM strong. I really don't want it to get back above $1.71 where I got in. So if it gets like up to about $1.70, I'll probably just close it. But I can surely have a small profit. So it's currently about $1.81, 82 right there. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to get any more trades here. So I wish everyone a happy new year. Thank you for an awesome, awesome 2023. We could not do this here if it wasn't for you guys. So very thankful for all of you who choose to be a part of our community. So I will catch you guys on Tuesday. That's January 2. The next time the market is open. So we'll see you then. Have a great new years. Peace.


Aloha and welcome to Stand the Energy Man on Think Tech, Hawaii. I'm Rachel James, also known as Rachel the Energy Woman, filling in for Stan Osserman. On today's show, we'll discover how renewable energy applications can improve small and large-scale operations. Back by popular demand is Ryan Wubbins, electrical engineer for Burns & McDonnell, and Stan the Energy Man's third Friday officiant on all things energy and engineering. Welcome back, Ryan. Thanks. You're welcome. So, before we jump into our discussion today, I wanted to take a moment to share a bit about an inspiring news. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm going to not just going to wing this. All right. So, this shirt, which is a little sweaty because I was walking over briskly and it rained a bit so I was trying to walk faster, but Elemental Accelerator, they just hosted their introduction to their 2018 cohort yesterday. And so, in sharing kind of what's happening in energy, I think it's really exciting to see what's happening in the innovation space generally, but then to see that apply to energy. So, companies there range from folks who are looking at analytics for transportation both in public transit as well as kind of what happens with lights and how people are moving about on the roads and do we need to build more roads or do we need to just better utilize the ones that we have. And then they had companies that were doing things like looking at how to manage your farmland and mapping that to applications that you could look at your phone. So, I think for today's show, I know we're going to talk about small and large scale applications of renewable energy, but if we can even just broaden that discussion to talk about what's possible as well as what might be way, way out there and totally improbable, but something that some innovator can make happen.  That sounds awesome. Awesome. I was going to try to read that, but it's one of those days so I'm just going to launch in. Yeah. Okay, so what interesting thing have you learned about in the recent past about renewable energy? We'll start there. Interesting about renewable energy? I think to tie it into what you were just talking about. The interesting part about renewable energy would be how it fits in with the transportation studies and how they are treating traffic flows to make bigger roads, to allow more traffic to happen, are you smarter with the traffic that's on the road? Yeah. The way that correlates to renewable energy is let's assume we're taking fossil fuels out of the vehicles and they're powered by the batteries or the fuel cells powered vehicles. So what that means to me, you're going to make a road bigger, I'm going to need to consume a lot more energy. If you're going to be a lot more efficient on the road than on the renewable energy side, well I need to produce less or be smarter about where I put it so it's consumed smarter. So I think that would be the interesting tie-in to the transportation idea. Ooh, I like it. I like what you're doing there. Especially on an island with space constraints, the idea of expanding highways and just making things bigger seems a little bit impractical. Yep. Awesome. My thoughts on renewable energy and micro-gridding and getting to the 20-40 initiative on 100% renewables, I've come on the show before and I always say the best way to get to 100% renewable is to be smarter and more efficient with the loads you're using. If not, use less altogether. If you don't need it, don't turn it on. So relating that back to transportation, I would ask for efficiency to just go up. Instead of making that road bigger, which nobody wants, that's just eight lanes of traffic instead of four, but we're still sitting nowhere, I would ask the innovators that are going after that to be smarter and more efficient with the roads and the transportation, and that overall will cause a drop in energy consumption or a higher efficiency with that energy. I like that you mentioned the 20-45 goal for 100% because that's kind of sliced up into different things. So portions of that are related to energy efficiency. Then we have some portions that are straight up like get more generation that's from renewables on the grid. And so as we think about placing things in the best space and utilizing resources optimally, and then even as you're just mentioning specific to transportation, like being more efficient in the place that you're going to be, because traffic doesn't seem like it's going to go anywhere anytime soon. So the most we can do to best utilize the energy for that, for getting people from one place to another, I think the better will be hopefully happier people as well. So it's interesting, I was one of the things or one of the companies, their behavioral analyst. And so part of their, I would say a large part of their kind of product is taking those behavioral analytics and applying it to something to see how people can better utilize energy in that space. And so they apply that particularly to aviation and with pilots and just kind of making some tweaks into habits, being able to have immense fuel savings. And so I remember sitting in an energy efficiency charrette and there was a great talk about the gains that we've had in energy efficiency. But even in using energy more efficiently sometimes that end user ends up actually using more than they would otherwise. So they're like, I'm really saving on my electricity. So now I'm going to get that air condition that I wasn't going to get before. And I'm going to get that super huge refrigerator. And they're actually, the habits don't necessarily reflect a decrease in use so much as it reflects less out of their pocket for it. Yeah, more efficiency, more consumption. Yeah, which is an interesting paradox. Like you think like, oh, with the clean green tree huggers, no offense to anybody who hugs trees. But if you're increasing the use, when sometimes just decreasing use even before you get the fun widgets can really have an impact. I think sometimes we miss the low hanging fruit. Yeah, that definitely happens. And I think that's going to continue to happen. It's really hard. At the end of the month, you save $100. Are you putting that in savings? Or are you going out and buying something pretty cool? Probably cool things. And I don't want to say that's a bad thing from an energy perspective. But getting to our goals, we're going to get there faster, being efficient and smarter. At the same time, your load is going to increase. I think as general we become energy consumers, the more the energy becomes available to us. See, this is an interesting segue. So as we talk about more energy consumption and even if we're being more efficient, the advent of electric vehicles and the increased adoption of those is likely to have a huge impact on our energy consumption. And I think the more we look to things that require some sort of a plug-in and that require some sort of a power up, the way we operate and life relies more and more on things that are electrified. So even as we're becoming more efficient, if our patterns of consumption don't necessarily change, I think surely by the virtue of what we're doing each day, we're using a lot more energy just by our day-to-day task. OK. So we're using more energy, but we can be more efficient in that use. How does that look for the individual? Maybe residents will say, we'll start out at home. How an individual home can become more energy efficient. We'll start with energy efficiency. Sure. The easy ways to do it are to look for those little energy star-rated appliances when you go to get a new one like that. It's sometimes tough to maybe look for a little bit more expensive model that has a little bit more efficiency put to it, but that's just the easiest. Almost don't have to think about it by something more efficient when you upgrade. The next part comes to just shutting your lights off. Some of the more simple things are the easiest things that individuals can do. Just making it become a habit is a little bit trickier when it's so much at an abundance. And we still, while Hawaii has a higher energy cost compared to the mainland, it still feels like it's in abundance to a lot of us. So if you change your mind so a little bit that it's not as abundant, or maybe convince yourself it's a lot more expensive, then you'll start to change your habits and become more energy efficient. Getting the smart devices that tell you, here's everything that's going on, and it kind of bogs you down with too much information. Those can be really helpful to some people, because they want to track it. It's like a little game to them to make sure maybe how much power my refrigerator consumed in a month, you're not going to change very much with how that works. But those devices that are giving that feedback can be helpful to some people. And if you think that's going to be helpful, then go out and go for it. Awesome. OK, so I'm the energy efficient person, turning my lights off, unplugging my large appliances if I can. I'm doing the low-hanging fruit things. So now I'm ready to level up. What happens next in my renewable energy future? In your renewable energy future, we'll start adding some renewable generation now. Just for you, if you're the individual, you want to try and push the limits ahead of, let's say, what your community is doing or your state, which is really fast at this base. But if you wanted to go beyond that, energy consumption as a whole, you'll go straight to the solar water heater. And then your best case for you would be to add the solar where you can on your house. If you get to the point where you're creating so much that you're selling back to the grid, let's go to tier three. And now we start talking. I made up that tier three thing that. That's OK. It's not to find anywhere except at lunch on Fridays. Now we start talking about energy storage. These devices are coming out a little bit more and more throughout the industry. They're still rather expensive. I would feel like to what they give you. But if you want to track ahead, you start looking at an energy storage medium to recapture everything you're producing extra, so that you can use it. In our case, we're talking about adding solar at night when we don't have the sun to power up the solar panels. Are there moon panels out there that just came to my head? Totally wasn't in the script, but I'm just curious. Not that I know of it. Technically, there will be a little bit of energy produced from the solar that comes off the moon from a very technical level. But it's maybe a fraction of a penny. OK. Maybe. Not worth the investment, most likely. Probably not. OK, good deal. No moon panels. Moon panels look cool. Yeah, it'd be cool to say moon panels. I have moon panels. OK, so we'll stick with solar in the sun. So tier three, I've got solar on my house. And what's happening with the energy at the nighttime? We're trying to be more efficient now, but now is when you're actually home. This is when you're actually consuming the majority of your load. It's hard to push your load during when the actual sun is producing on your solar, but that's the best time to consume it because it's the most efficient. We just created it. Let's use it right away. Electricity is a very good medium for transferring energy. When we have to store it, we take a little bit of an efficiency hit. So at night, if it's a lithium ion battery or if it's hydrogen, we've taken a little bit of an efficiency hit, but we still want to be as smart as we can with the energy we're consuming. Part of that will become leveling out your level of energy that your peak energy use. So I wouldn't go turn the dryer on and every piece of electrical equipment that I have all at once, because that's going to consume a lot more energy faster and a little bit more inefficient than if we were to just try and level it out. It's not easy, but again, this is a mindset change. This is an energy usage changing behavior. This is exciting.  So it's hard to change those habits, but I guess how do you, I don't want to say make people, how do you encourage people to make those sort of behavioral changes? Like is that surely information? Is that you talking to your friends and be like, hey guys? The most effective way? Make electricity crazy expensive? Yeah. That'll work. Who do you work for again? That'll work. I don't recommend it, but golly, everybody would turn back and start being really inefficient with how that works. I'm not sure the best way to just change your behavior. But you have to want to do it, and you have to surround yourself with people and resources around you. That want to help you do that. That's about as far as advice as I could give. No, I like this. So as we expand to the people and communities around us, so if we take this little renewable energy, energy efficient model in our home, and our neighbors think it's pretty cool, and they want to join in. So how do we level up? So does this tier four now maybe? Yeah, I think we're getting to tier four. Spreading the word to the community and getting your peers to join in the cause. Yeah. I don't know. You've got to have really cool friends to convince them to join the game. But it's definitely possible, and if you believe in the cause, there is a way to get there. OK. That's an encouraging note to leave us on for just a moment. So we're going to run to a quick break, come back, and speak with Ryan a bit more about how we go to tier, I don't know, seven maybe? Yeah, we're up there, yeah. We're leveling up to the high. Let's get to 10 before we're done. Yeah, so in just a moment, we'll be back with Stan the Energy Man. Thanks for joining us. Welcome back to Stan the Energy Man on Think Tech, Hawaii. I've been here spending a good amount of time with Ryan Wubbins, who's sharing all things energy and efficiency. So we left off chatting a bit about leveling up, so going from energy efficiency to widespread renewable energy. So we're just kind of entering into shared concepts in a community and what that might look like. So you chatted a bit about this, the good segue to transportation and the break. Yes. OK, launch into that. Absolutely. So we were talking about energy consumption and being efficient as an individual and then spreading it to the community. I think as in general, the community does believe in the renewable energy cause. That's not just help to electricity. We keep calling it renewable energy as a whole. So let's keep in mind the fuel we're using in your vehicle as part of that. To reach out to the community, let's come back to the individual. We're going to get there. We're going to get there. As you create more and more energy as an individual and you're storing and consuming everything you produce at night, there is a chance that you're still going to have the excess energy from your, if we're just at solar. There's a chance you're going to end up with a little bit extra. That type of energy, right now, you can't do a whole lot with other than run the blender an extra time if you really wanted to. Or if you go to the next tier, where we're at seven or eight, we're getting up there, you reach that energy and put it back into your vehicle. So some type of renewable energy vehicle there can be sourced energy from your stored energy. You can just say hydrogen. It's a safe space. All right, let's roll hydrogen in. I really do like that as a transportable fuel and in general for storage because of the high energy density, I was going to get there on community. But we'll speed up. You've already got that.  But when you don't, now let's get back to the community because I keep saying efficiency is the best way to do this. Efficiency in generation, you're going to produce better if your community can support the energy consumption. This will be from using energy when we make it. It also comes to the bigger equipment that it takes to make hydrogen and store it is more efficient at doing so on a per kilogram basis. So it becomes larger, takes up a little bit more space. But a community now could support an energy efficiency goal. And it doesn't need to be just within the house, and also reach into the transportation. So you can foresee a community that sets down a hydrogen fueling station. That fueling station would create the energy storage, which I said was kind of expensive on a smaller scale for the house. Now the house is, if we're a subdivision and we're all real good friends, we're producing extra power. The extra power is actually going back into hydrogen right within our community's fueling station. That fueling station then can fuel our cars for our own use. But then, let's say the power goes back out, or we wanted to level out the amount of demand we have. That hydrogen can go right back to the grid. That's the beauty of using that hydrogen with the high energy density. Maybe there's a storm and there's a long outage. Let's all stop driving as a community, or reduce our energy consumption on our vehicles, and start powering the devices that we need. That's within a community. That community, we haven't scaled other than just a few houses. That same idea can be expanded to a whole island. Like the Hawaiian Islands. That'd be a good one. Something wild. Absolutely. Couple things I wanted to hit on. You mentioned we'll give plug-in EVs some chance to integrate in this discussion also. Because I think there's a place for essentially shared resources. So if a community collectively has some sort of understanding that Bob and Joe have EV cars, and Susie and Jimmy are planning on getting some too, and you start to understand a community's ability to access renewable energy, I think that makes the task a little less daunting. So just from a behavioral standpoint, I think Hawaii Energy has done a really cool job. So I don't know if you get it in your electricity bill. You get the little thing from Hawaii Energy that tells you what your neighbors are doing. And then when you're doing it better than your neighbors, you high-five everybody in your house. They're like, Bob and Jim over there, they suck. So much better. Yeah. So in that same, we can take that same, you know, we're humans. We can take that same concept. And if there are Bob and Joe and Susie, you're getting EVs, and you're like, but hey, I've got solar, and I've got some excess, like how do we plan together to make this a system that's most efficient, then also is renewable energy based? And I think that's really something unique about renewable energy, because you're probably not going to be like, let's put a refinery in our community so that we can all get our own gasoline. It seems a little less likely. So renewable energy, I think, provides a nice avenue for people to work collaboratively, but to also have collective benefit. OK. So we've expanded from the residential to the community. We're talking about island-wide. So when we talk about really being able to take these concepts and scale them up, what happens in that scaling? Because I hear, and I know from our work with you, that scaling up is something that I think some people perceive as a, like, just make it bigger. And other people are like, no, no, you got to keep it on this scale, because if you scale it up, it's not going to work. So can you talk a little bit about that kind of progressive leveling up process? Scaling will be something, generally, an engineer. I want to make it big. I want to start to consolidate, make things bigger, because I'm going to get better gains on everything that I'm producing. I'm going to be more efficient for energy fuel. That's true with really energy fuel source that I can think of right now. That's why we're going to want to scale bigger. When people don't want to scale bigger, it's just this year cost and the size that it becomes. So it becomes a balance between how much space and money you're willing to commit versus how much you actually want to get out of it. So I'm going to tell you to push that limit, to get as much as you can out of that budget and size right away. Because in the long run, it's going to pan out better from an energy consumption. OK. And is the long run like a really long run? Is that like a five-year long run, like a 10-year long run? To get into that full energy renewable. Well, I said earlier there was a 20-40 initiative. I'm five years out of schedule. OK. I'd noted that and I was like, we're live. So I got to throw 20-45 in there sometime. But no, good deal. OK. It's available today. But we can't just flip the switch and make it happen. Everybody, the cars are the great example. I don't want to go buy a new car tomorrow. I can buy a new car tomorrow. But if we change our behavior and the way that the system around us is operating, let's just say, and maybe somebody was talking about automated cars, I know that can be a little hard for some people to think that that's going to happen. It's going to happen. It's happening. Don't tell yourself it's not. It's going to happen, guys. So automated cars are going to just build the roads so they will be very efficient. The roads will be packed, but everything's going to be moving faster. Like the Jetsons. Yeah, it'll be exactly like the Jetsons. Yes, and they just love wheels. But they'll be colored just as cool. Excellent. I love that analogy, by the way. So we've got the Jetsons network of vehicles going on around us. It'll be easier when a system like that starts becoming to catch some ground. Because now my vehicle, I'm not going to buy my next vehicle. I'm just going to. Vehicles will be like a cell phone plan. I'll buy into a transportation plan. Ooh, a transportation plan. I will ask for a car to pick me up today. And it'll act like when we used to actually care about how many minutes we used, we'll start to care about how many miles we consume. This is a good analogy. That's my thought on where we'll be headed. I like that because it's a more efficient use of the energy being consumed. It's also more efficient on the space. There's a lot of goodness that comes from being smarter with our transportation. It sounds a lot like, and I'm sorry if I'm dumbing this down, I'm not an engineer. But it sounds a lot like public transportation, like 4.0, you know? It doesn't sound super, I mean Jetsons sounds fancy, but essentially it sounds like a really nice bus ride that's not actually on a bus that's in a car and you pay one for one. Absolutely. Okay, so not totally crazy, not way out there? No, no. If we can get to the Jetsons level of transportation, we'll be doing pretty good. Are there gonna be buses still? Is that still part of the scheme? I think you will have some type of busing system as well. I think you'll see a replacement for everything that we currently have. It'll just be less of it used at a higher utilization rate, which means the vehicles will constantly be in use.  There's not gonna sit. The car that I showed up to work is just gonna go back out, pick up the next person and move them around. So as we see less cars, they're gonna be used at a higher utilization rate. Now I'm getting somewhere with this. Okay. Because this is a safe place. Yes. The higher utilization rate, you can't have any downtime on that vehicle. The higher it's being used, it's actually to that company or to the owner of the vehicle making money. If it's sitting, charging, however long it takes to recharge the battery that's in that vehicle, it's not making money as it's charging. So you want something at a higher utilization, you wanna refuel very fast. That's where hydrogen starts to play better than an electrical vehicle. Okay. When the cars and the system gets smart, it needs to be very high utilization. So we want the cars to, they run on hydrogen versus electrical. Stop at a station, you can refuel very, very fast with hydrogen. It's run at a very high pressure, just boom, your tank's full. Electrical, as we know, it's just gonna sit. I need to have a lot of copper to move power from one spot to the other. So as we talk about energy efficiency as a whole and transportation getting smarter, and then how do we get there? You have to start to change the system and maybe even the rules that allow that system to operate within. Okay. To facilitate that behavioral change.  I think it's the system allowing you to operate the way I think it should. Okay. So you're speaking my language with talking regulations. I'm in law school, so I love this idea of like, put it into a law and people will do it. I know that doesn't always happen, but like from an idealistic perspective, it's nice to think that if you write something really good, it'll inspire people to do good things, right? So. Just put me in charge. Oh, okay. And no problem. Excellent. Okay. So we've gone all the way from small-scale tier, I don't know, zero. We started at a low tier residential energy efficiency. We got some solar panels. We expanded into a community. Got some hydrogen. Got some fueling stations. Got some, what else? We get some plug-in stations. We went island wide. We said we can scale up. We said we should go big or go home. Yep. And then we decided that to do that, we just need to put you in charge of everything to make that all good. We'll add awesome lines on some paper. We'll get it marked up and let's just go build it. Excellent. So on that note, I want to thank you for taking your lunchtime to be with us today for sharing your knowledge, your inspiration, and your excitement. And thank you, audience, for joining us. And there you have it. So we're gonna go big or go home and put Ryan in charge until the next time. Thanks for joining us on Stand the Energy Man on Think Tech Hoy. Aloha.


Go! Go! Go! I'm great Jesus, I'm fine. I'm going to take you to the fire right now. Of course you know my dad. Like I said, I was saving when I was 17, and a big when I got saved was my wife. We weren't married at the time obviously, I was 17, but she really helped me along the way. She was a catalyst for my faith and so I worked this next song about it and I think you guys will like it. I'm going to pay you now. It was my call later. Keeping posted like wallpaper. I saw these different men, all these fables. We really made it just like our own labels. They really hated because of what we did. We really did. We was just a kid.


Welcome to implement CSAW in your classroom. Let's set up routines and get students started on CSAW. When technology is integrated effectively into classroom instruction, it does not simply replace hands-on learning. Rather, it makes new learning experience as possible. In this training, you will set up routines that reflect best practices for integrating technology and get students started on CSAW in the classroom and at home. First, teach students how to use CSAW. Our Getting Started activities teach students how to sign in, respond to activities, and use essential tools like the camera, microphone, and drawing tools in reading, writing, math, and more. Follow the implementation steps in the teacher notes for each activity, including links to resources. Resources includes step-by-step Getting Started guides, an introductory video, videos for how to sign in and hand out. For step-by-step support and additional resources, check out the Student Challenges section of our Getting Started guides. Organized by Grade Band, these guides walk you through all steps to get started, including rolling out CSAW to students. Access the Getting Started guides and other resources at web.csa.me forward slash resources for teachers. Pause the video now. Use the Getting Started activities or Getting Started guides to roll out CSAW to students. Now, plan regular opportunities for students to use CSAW with classroom routines. Classrooms that create CSAW routines ensure students always have access to meaningful learning experiences. Today, we'll focus on three teacher-tested ways to integrate CSAW into your classroom routines. When you use CSAW for centers or stations, you get a glimpse into every student's learning process, even when you aren't able to meet with them directly. Students are also held accountable, so they're more motivated to put forth their best effort. Start by giving a mini lesson to teach a concept or skill, and as you plan centers for students to rotate through, designate one or more to a CSAW center. Make sure devices have access to the CSAW Class app or app.csa.me. Then, assign CSAW activities for students to complete at the CSAW center. Activities that work best for centers prompt students to capture hands-on learning like math-manipulative work that otherwise gets lost when students finish the station. Activities can also prompt students to capture their thinking. Students use the video or microphone tool to record their voice, giving you valuable insight into every student's learning. Check out these ready-to-assign activities to get started. Get the links in the video description. CSAW can also be used to provide opportunities for students to practice grade-level skills on their own. After you teach a new concept or skill, give students time to practice. Assign a CSAW activity that reinforces the skill as students complete the activity, circulate to support students one-on-one or in small groups. Activities that work best for independent practice include multimodal resources that increase access to the content. For example, you might use the video tool to record a demo or tutorial video. Resize the video to make room on the canvas by dragging the corners. Then add images, labels, shapes, and more to support the students to practice the skill. Students can now watch this video and complete the CSAW activity to independently practice the skill. CSAW Plus and CSAW for Schools users can create multi-page activities, which means up to 20 pages of dynamic interactive practice on CSAW. Check out these ready-to-assign activities to get started. Get the links in the video description. CSAW makes it easy to integrate social-emotional learning, leverage transitions like the beginning or end of the day, before or after lunch, or between subjects to reinforce important SEL skills. Simply assign a CSAW activity for students to complete during your designated SEL time. An easy way to start is with a daily or weekly check-in. Students practice identifying and naming their emotions and explaining why they feel that way. So you can follow up with students who may need extra support. You can also find or create activities that reinforce specific SEL skills, like goal-setting, growth mindset, and more. Check out these ready-to-assign activities to get started. Get the links in the video description. Remember, once you find or create activities for centers, independent practice, or SEL, click Assign. Students access activities in the to-do section of their activities tab. Adding SESAW into these routines allows students to better extend, share, and reflect on their learning over time. Pause the video now to plan a SESAW routine for your classroom. You can also use SESAW to reinforce learning at home. To complete SESAW activities at home, students need to sign into the class app. We recommend students use the home learning code to sign in at home, no matter how they sign into school, because they're unique to each student and they protect privacy by preventing students from seeing each other's work while they're at home. Here's how you get to home learning codes. On a computer, click Class Settings. That's the wrench icon. Under the Student section, click Home Learning Student Codes. Then print PDFs or download a CSV of codes. Make sure each student has their unique home learning code. Students open the class app or go to app.csad.me on a web browser. They click I'm a student and scan or enter their code. We recommend students hang their codes someplace handy, like the refrigerator or wherever they complete homework. First, support students to sign in at home. Then find or create an activity and we recommend putting home learning in the activity title. And then assign the activity for students to complete at home. Activities that work best for home learning include multimodal supports that ensure students can access the content independently, such as a demo video or links to resources. Great home learning activities also include family and community members. Prompt students to complete learning tasks with the people around them. Finally, leverage the home environment. Think, how can I connect learning to students' daily lives? What resources do all students have at home? Pause the video now, find the home learning codes and also some activities that you could assign at home. You did it. You learned how to get students started on CISA, create CISA routines and support learning at home. Thanks for learning with us today. You can find more free training at web.cisa.me forward slash training.


Hello everybody and welcome back to esoteric Atlanta with my friend Catherine Edwards for our coffee chat. It's been a few weeks Catherine's been away. I died and was resurrected We've both been sick. It's uh, it's uh, it's been quite a few weeks But but but nonetheless, we're we're pushing through today. How are you Catherine? Well, I feel like it's not been a few weeks I feel it's been a few lifetimes and I've got so much to talk to you in the audience back today I've been so looking forward to this because when we say we make jokes about the whole world has gone mad It's gone completely mad. I had a trip to the states and Well, that's a where do I even begin? But yeah, let's kick off with some of the things we were going to talk about and we will bring in We will embrace the madness embrace the chaos. Yeah, it's I I feel like people have just lost Lost their sense of reality and I know that I've lost my sense of reality from time to time And part of a spiritual practice is regrounding yourself In that reality and we were laughing about the emergency Um broadcast that are the the the alert we got on our cell phones yesterday Here in the united states and you had asked me Catherine like what my thoughts were on it And I was like honestly, we get these things all the time Like and and this is what's so crazy to me is like it didn't it meant nothing to me because we get these all the time When we were children for you for you guys watching right now if you're an american Think back to when we were children before we had cell phones the emergency alert They would test it the they would test it every couple of months on your tv And so you would be watching tv and all of a sudden the screen would go It would be the rainbow color to go And it would do this emergency alert sound and say this is just a test repeat This is just a test of the emergency broadcast system This is just a test and it would last like 10 seconds 20 seconds And then it would go off and your show would come back on And so we dealt with these i'm 40 years old. I've dealt with these for 40 years There was not that and I was laughing with you Catherine because it went off yesterday at around two 220 and There's this great instagram Page that I follow and it's called southern humor humor And it talks about like southerners like how we can smell rain coming and one of the videos they show Is that a southerner will sleep through through anything we'll sleep through tornadoes We'll sleep through hurricanes unless the air conditioning gets cut off then we wake up You know and so it's so I'm thinking with it even with an ebs Most people the south are just going to throw the phone against the wall and go back to sleep anyway You know, so it's not even that handy of a thing to alert people I mean when you were in texas you got the amber alert, which is yeah I got it on my phone when I was in texas and I was like, what's this? How do I turn off because we don't get those over here? But I was laughing because I I haven't watched a lot of it, but I saw so many People and the truth is talking about you need to turn your phone off You need to wrap it in tin foil and this complete delusion now I think it was last summer There was a we were having a test of an emergency broadcast in the uk Which actually failed catastrophically because most people's phones didn't go off. So that was interesting But we had the same thing then with everyone saying oh, it's going to activate the graphene oxide in you You're all going to drop dead. You've all got to do this. You've all got to do that And it was just unbelievable price because I was on the day it was going off I was at wembley stadium watching a big football match for my daughter My husband and somewhere another big football stadium and it was like Look guys get this in perspective if they're going to do things like that How obvious would it be if they put an emergency stalker and everyone just dropped dead? I mean one that's just pretty silly really because it's pretty traceable to who's doing it Secondly, they've been putting these poisons in this for years and years and years and years if people just actually started looking about What's in their breakfast cereal? Which we're going to be talking about and another thing if they started looking at what's in your me Anyone who eats crept sticks or salmon and prawns about how that's nothing to do with it. It's all colored dyed everything so this delusion of It makes me so frustrated really And like you said it is really important say we've all fallen for it But isn't this like the main message of what we've all been talking about for the last few years Is once you fall in for once the idea is you learn from it Yeah, and you just keep repeating it and what i'm seeing is it's just repeated And then everyone keeps putting out as soon as someone puts out on their video This is not meant to cause fear. This is this it's like You don't say what you're not doing it shows it deep down. There is a cause It's like the people whose relationships always in the worst always posting love things to each other on facebook, you know it's like Honestly guys if we want to be taken seriously in any shape or form we've got to do better than this Oh, absolutely.  How many times were you sitting? I mean because I know back in the 80s and 90s my sister and I used to sit right up on the tv screen Don't yeah, we've learned now because usually the remote was was missing so you have to change the channel By your hand, you know and how many times we would be watching a cartoon Or some show and all of a sudden it would just shut off and it was an emergency alert And they didn't send us back in those days. We didn't know when they were going to be doing an emergency alert They didn't tell us to do them. Um, you know, it's because people didn't have cell phones So most of the time people had a tv on so for us down here in the south If there was we get bad tornadoes every single year We'll have like three or four tornadoes run through and I laugh because we usually sleep through them Because that's how used to them we are but they can be deadly and so they run these emergency alerts to tell us If there was a tornado spotted for us to take cover There's a there's a reason why You know, not every single person in government is out to get you, you know, there's a reason why they run these emergency alerts I mean here in Atlanta, you can still even hear the factory Horns going off from time to time like you'll be out I'll be out walking the dog and I'll hear the the alarm going off at a factory And it's to signify lunchtime or time off But it's kind of freaky to hear it But we're so immune to that stuff that we don't even notice it half the time now And so when someone brings attention to it, all of a sudden it becomes it becomes the boy who cried wolf And that's what that's the problem Yeah, and I think you've hit on so many different things and I I don't think this is easy for anyone myself included In terms of this for me, it's the biggest learning curve. I'm still on over the last few years is knowing How to educate yourself to enough detail where you can be aware of what's going on Without getting completely extreme and ridiculous about it and it's a seesaw and it's a fine balance So, you know, one example of that is this is like water quality You know, I arrived at Dallas Fort Worth exit and I needed some water and all the water was just like added Minerals and vitamins and I was just like almost like in a straight trauma thinking I don't want to drink that but the end of the day you need water and your body's resilient And if you were drinking that water all day every day, you'd be in trouble But if you're just drinking it once in a while, your body can cope with it We've been coping with loads of stuff and this is the balance is where anyone that's on this journey And I'd love to know what works for people below Is not getting completely extreme about it, you know, we've took you and I are fascinated with cult behavior for this exact reason Is there can be very good ideas that can turn fanatical And this can happen in any aspect of your life And certainly we've seen it happening in the community that we've been passed on to And, you know, I don't care what people say. There's so much fear The amount of people I had a conversation with someone the other day and I know you and I've spoken about this before Bryce Is that do you know what some of the happiest people I know at the moment are the people that have no idea about any agendas going on They're doing their own gardening. They're walking their dogs.  They're enjoying their weekend if they want to go and watch football at the weekend They're going and enjoying it because the whole spiritual journey on one hand Is all about being in the present moment and being here right here right now You mentioned right at the start about grounding yourself So important and it is a really difficult balance for people to say well, how much do I try and Understand what's going on so we can positively influence it and not be fooled by it for the rest of our lives But still enjoy our life, right? I agree and it's crazy and and I I agree it's um we My boyfriend calls it the jump conspiracy cul-de-sac And yeah, I mean it goes it goes back to that as I've said when I was doing my missing books of the bible We talked a lot about on my on my channel gnosis and edio Gnosis is inner knowing edio is outer knowing edio is like your education like your your book smarts Your but your gnosis is your inner knowing and the ancients used to believe that edio was great But it wasn't as valuable as gnosis and so what's tend to happen though is I've noticed in our community is that We know there are certain Realities in this world that aren't as as they we get that we're not saying that there isn't there obviously there are bad guys There are things going on we get that their religious practices are horrific. We get that However, what tends to happen is we have these trojan horse moments Where the bad guys will realize people are understanding this and so they'll send in a trojan horse Right, they'll send in false information To get you wound up and get you directed over into this junk conspiracy cul-de-sac. We are just turning circles While the real story is happening over here Yeah, I feel like the ebs that happened yesterday is another prime example of a trojan horse You know I don't in my like I don't think that there was anything to it But what they said it was it was just an emergency test. That's all it was there was nothing to it Same emergency test. We've had since the beginning of technology Since the beginning of my time on this earth. It's there was nothing nefarious about it nothing It just it is what it is But so many people get so wound up in the edio And they get stuck in this junk conspiracy cul-de-sac chasing their own tail That they forget to sit and do the gnosis and actually really ground themselves and think okay Let me think this through let me reflect on this for a moment because this is no different Than anything else that I went through as with an emergency system like as a child or anything like that And I think that's what the huge difference is You know When when and my boyfriend has said this before and captain knows my knows my boyfriend that sometimes when people wake up They really want to go back to sleep like there's this desire to go back to sleep Even if even if it's not conscious It's more subconscious and so what they'll do is they'll cling They'll go from watching like anderson cooper And having anderson cooper tell them how to feel and tell them their opinions to then listening to another youtuber Tell them how to feel and tell them their opinions and so by putting themselves back into this junk conspiracy cul-de-sac They've essentially gone back to sleep. They're just in another dream And so in order to have your own sovereign to your own gnosis your own autonomy You have to be able to take everything told to you with everyone even what we're saying with the grain of salt Into your own reflections and your own research into that so you can understand what's going on But also live your life. I mean captain. How many people on telegram? Have you noticed stopped paying their mortgages? Because they were told quantum was coming in and now they're getting evicted from their houses You know maybe it's happening to so so many people and again by our saying this I'm just bringing up whilst i'm speaking something that I posted. I think I sent it to you So many people work. Please don't get us wrong We're not saying it's not possible to look into the right way to not pay your mortgage We're not saying that at all But what we are saying is we're saying that actually there's an awful lot of really bad advice as well Um, and you know this sums it up I posted this on my facebook to sum up my 25 years or so of research Everything is a lie and I don't have a fucking link Because and the reason I love that is if I have one more person is the thing is is like We all have that in a no-sense And you get to a stage where you've done enough work yourself on whatever topic and it would be different for each first Because all our life circumstances different. I've got children. So 25 years ago I started um researching these big time for children because I was pregnant and I wanted to know If I hadn't have had children then I wouldn't have I'm sure I wouldn't have done that research So what I'm saying is we've all got different priorities because our different life circumstances Will affect what's a priority for us at that time in our life, you know now my children are adults I have my priorities have shifted completely again because they're making their own decisions for things now But the whole point about that is is some people you can never Can please everyone so some people want research on everything But if you want that research It's your job to go out and get it and there can people that can help you But it's not their job to provide it because if we're talking about a certain Subject, you know the information that price might need to convince I might be very different to what I need It's not our job and it's not anyone else's job and going back to the emergency broadcast Really controversial, but if you look at what's happened in Lahaina, you know, they didn't put off I know that wasn't the emergency broadcast system started It was the sirens and they didn't put them off and and quite frankly horrendous that they didn't And there was a lot of other dubious goings on there that you will know about But it's a bit your buggered if you do and buggered if you don't the fact that we've all got These that we carry around everywhere with us can be life changing.  I'd be so grateful that everyone had one of these in their pockets So if it's really important and you're really worried that someone can send a message Through your phone to exterminate you because we've all got graphene in us. It's not just in there, you know What's it's in everything, you know And you wouldn't know whether you've got it in you or not If you really believe that then you shouldn't be carrying one of these You shouldn't just be putting it away for one moment because if they really wanted to kill you They wouldn't tell you they were going to do it at 230 or no So this is what I mean is it's very easy to blame other people But if it's that important to you, I will not get in any electric cars For loads of reasons I will not get in one and the reason I don't is I genuinely believe I'm not asking anyone else to I genuinely believe that they're death traps because of the emf I believe they're like faraday cages and and I believe they could burst into flames I believe they can be trolled by nefarious people And I also believe in terms of a radiation side of things that absolutely lethal That's my belief and I feel strongly enough about that that I won't get into any of my friends cars I've got electric cars. Yeah, that's me. I know they can do whatever they like, you know Um, and I think this is the thing is that a lot of where we get into trouble Is because all of us have got really strong beliefs that we really believe in Yes, no, but there's a huge gray area where we don't really know what we think and therefore All the stuff we've blamed everyone else for saying I took it because my boss said to the doctor said to We've got areas in our life. We're doing that I've got my phone in Tim foil because someone on youtube told me to Yeah, it's the same. It's it's the same delusion that the norm that we complain about the normies having these delusions But the truth or community has some worse delusions. Yeah It's um, and then that's the thing too about like cult behavior as well is that Even Catherine even you and me sitting here right now saying you guys I don't think that EBS was what you think it is It's just a normal. We're going to get pushed back. We're going to get fair game Yeah, people are going to try to censor us because that's what cults do right? That's what cults do So you are in a community where you can't question the narrative or you can't question where you can't say to that youtube or Hey, I'm kind of suspicious that this EBS was not what you guys think it is It just seems really normal and you get censored for that or kicked out of the group You're in a fucking cult Like that's what cults do and that's one thing like I know Catherine I've talked about online We've I know both of us kind of want to remove ourselves From these communities because we want to be able to question the narrative whether that narrative is coming from the mainstream media Or from youtube it's still a narrative that's being sold And I want to always be questioning that because the minute you take the knee the minute you take the need to anyone whether it be The mainstream media or youtube if you're taking the need of somebody and not questioning them The minute that starts to happen. We're in trouble as a society, right? We It we can't see the point constantly Yeah, we've got to be with in a community if you've got a community You've got to be able to have this challenging discussion. So in the uk I don't know how much anyone in america will have heard but it's gone completely bonkers with People being censored. You've probably a lot of you have probably heard about russell brand and what's been going on with him Now you and I have had so many and when I'm saying you and I please don't think I'm pretending that bryce and I special Along with so many millions of other people have had so many conversations that's where we've said bryce Both things can be true. Yeah So someone let's let's just put a scenario out here because we've had It's gone mad in the uk bryce that something really weird's going on because we've also got other alternative media personalities that are now having their Home search like laurence fox for having said something about the cameras. It's really gone completely mad of Really coming down on people really hard But let's just take because a lot of people would have heard of the russell brand situation Because a lot of people in america know who he is as well now 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. He was a serious drug addict which he's talked about lows Now if any of you here have ever got really drunk in your life or ever been on drugs There will be times where you either will do things you're ashamed of or that you can't remember So there's a lot of people have got drunk and not been able to remember exactly what they did By me saying this i'm not saying it's right.  Do you have big brother over in america? Yeah, so this was about a very famous Lady in the uk called j goodie who was one of the first big brother stars And um, she was really famous and she ended up dying of cervical cancer So we were watching this program and it was heart wrenching But this was only 10 years ago and the way the news the press the the program Talk about her as a fat pig as a as a slut as this or that and the the things they showed it was Absolutely disgusting, but at the time everyone was laughing and thought it was accessible Now if you put today's standards on it, they'd all be in jail. They'd all be prosecuted. They'd all be So this is what I mean is it is Tobotans were true So someone could have done really atrocious things. I mean one of the reporters was saying I can't believe I spoke about her like this. I can't believe I plastered these pictures of her all over the newspapers I look back now knowing how where the regulations are now and I'm horrified. I behave like that But at the time everyone was laughing. Yeah, so it doesn't mean it's right It just means that someone could have had a really dodgy past But they could also have changed based on the information they know So look at when we're talking about the illuminati. Look at when we're talking about other Nefarious activities that are going on a lot of the people that we've learned from are people that have been in that life And that's how we know what's going on because if we haven't we wouldn't know about this abuse I mean, it's horrific. I've seen people talk about on certain telegram groups that anybody with particular last names should just be executed And it's shocking to me. I'm like that is what happened in world war two exactly because somebody has a last name means nothing It means nothing It's their actions and thank god we have people with certain last names that Are whistleblowers because they cared enough to try to inform the public about what their family You know how hard that's gotta be to go up against I mean, even if they're you know, even if you know, your family is full of psychopaths There's still a bond there because they're your family So to be able to to whistleblow to be able to call them out Takes a lot of courage. It takes a lot of courage and to see people Have just this disgusting.  These are babies They're babies and I think they're precious and I think that that if we're given the light the proper therapy and love They could be functioning members of society. They just need that love and that therapy They're babies. They didn't choose this just like you didn't choose your where you are. They didn't choose this You know, so I just it's almost like With with this delusional thinking and on on both sides, there's this sense of evil that's really shining through And that's some something we we just have to remember to be compassionate and fair and ground ourselves and make sure We're not following the crowd make sure we're not You know, what's that saying? Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's right. It just because something doesn't mean it's popular You know, you always have to be questioning your own integrity in certain things and so Yeah, it's um and it's okay if we we've all gotten lost in the crowd We've all gotten caught up in like the big whirlwind of emotion But to again to learn from that and say no, I'm not Even that's a form of spell casting and I'm not going to I'm not going to be a follower I'm going to be my own person. I'm going to listen to what other people have to say I'll listen and then I'll check myself. I'll go and check myself I encourage that all the time on my channel even with this the silly deep dives I do that don't really matter To today's world Still check it. Just check it for yourself.  I feel like this is something our grandparents just knew to do I feel like this is something our great Just so completely we we've really lost it and our poor younger generations You know, how are they going to learn unless we learn to keep calm? Entertain a different point for you. I cannot tell you even as recently as last week, you know When you meet people, you know, you can have you can meet people on screen or hear about them Or see their circumstances and then the nature of humans is we will make judgments Yeah, it's a survival instinct to make judgments You've got to make a judgment all the time if you're a deer You've got to decide whether it's safe to come out and go and eat the food or not We're exactly the same inherent in our survival instincts Is you constantly have to make judgments about things all the time But the difference is is do you learn from them? And I can tell you I I still get it very wrong with people You know, I'll make judgments and then you have a conversation with you. I mean like Oh my god, and it's so true That saying that they say, you know every single person is going through something Every single person I had a really good friend say to me this morning about well I wasn't born as a confident person and and I you know Everyone's got their challenges everyone's pushing them out and some people are forced to do it more than others Because they've got horrendous circumstances which mean that it that it is literally do or die And other people are on live journeys this time when they're blessed enough to have a bit more choice in the matter But if we don't keep listening we'll keep making making the same mistakes again when I first heard about electric cars I thought well, this sounds amazing And then I'm gradually learning more and more but then someone might tell me something else that changed my mind again I don't know but I'm going to remain open to it because the one thing I do know is there's masses I don't know, you know, we're talking all about our history and Where we came from and things like this and Tartaria and free energy But we've got to stop talking about it and actually start using it and start doing it It's all very well Like you said this difference between the ideo and the gnosis and I think and I Guilty of this because I love researching stuff But then the test of it is how does it feel in my body? This is one of the mood Saturdays I can read up as much as I like about the ingredients and I can Believe or not believe what I choose to believe about the company and how good their manufacturing is and how quality control is But the end of the day the ultimate test is my body my mind. How does it feel to me? How do I react to it and that's got to be the ultimate judge for me Yeah, absolutely and that's something I feel like With it with and I love the ideo too. I listen. I was there's this instagram page I loved with a guy like me loves history and he's his family day guy and he's like, you know, I love history You get to gossip you just got stopped people from past like, you know, it's very entertaining But yeah, and so but yeah, it's also that the most important though is how are you feeling? And sometimes I think in our modern society We're so focused on ideo that we forget to check in with the gnosis and that children for example I mean, I've told you this Catherine. I stopped eating meat when I was 14 I didn't know what a vegetarian was But I just knew that every time I ate meat. I got sick But when I was five, I remember getting she-crab soup Which is big in South Carolina and the meat of the she-crab was still in the form of the crab You had to mush it up and I remember crying just yeah fit because I didn't realize at five That this was an animal. Yeah And so Knowing kids know, you know, I knew and even with eating meat later on when my parents would force me to I would feel sick afterwards Like yeah, and that's something so simple We see this with with food. How many times do we see people eat a raw apple? And then they have a stomach ache afterwards But they think because they've been told they've been taught to the ideo that this apple is good for them But they don't realize that they're vata and so their energetic principles can't digest The apple needs to be cooked and or but your body is telling you like this this isn't so but we've become so sweet We're trusting what's happening is we're like we're trusting people outside of ourselves That's what happens when we when we listen to the media instead of ourselves when we listen to a youtuber instead of ourselves We're putting our trust into somebody else and not within us for our own lives And so and that's sad that we need to claim that autonomy back and and again That doesn't mean you have to stop listening to youtube's. Please don't we love that you listen But you can question and you can research and it's a conversation I don't think there's anything captain and I know That's that's far greater than anything anyone one of you know, you know And I know I've gotten it when I first was getting big on youtube I would have people email me all the time asking me financial questions about the new financial system And I'd be like fuck if I know I'm not I'm not an economist like I don't I don't know, you know, just because I have a youtube channel doesn't mean that I know more than you it's just I wanted to talk about certain things and so Really just trust yourself guys and and come and ground yourself like ground yourself into who you are Not who some youtuber says you should be not who's some media or a celebrity person says you should be Who are you because you say that's who you are You know you hit on such an important point price I just want to reiterate if you're in any group, whether it's a friendship group Whether it's a youtube chat or whatever if if you're being shamed For politely asking a question or questioning something then you are in a cult End of you know, you shouldn't be shaming anyone you I do think there's a difference You know if you're if you're the type of person that puts something across really aggressively or insulting someone to make your Point that's completely different. That's a boundary and that's disrespectful But if you're in a respectful way asking a different question or whatever Or or have you thought about it from this point of view? I for one I'm really really grateful because I haven't got time to do all this research on my own I'm really grateful when people say well, have you thought about this and I'm like, oh my god No, I didn't actually Yeah, yeah It's awesome. I love when people put their opinions and you're right Like if you're going to be abusive about having a different opinion, that's one thing But to say hey, I have a question about this and have you thought about it from this perspective or what about this? That's awesome because that's how we grow when we learn to be evolved You know, it's why you know in you know, the american government we're supposed to have a balance of power That's one thing we're taught in school because there's multiple people In our government that are debating and that are voting together on different It's all these it's supposed to be an ideal world. We know it's corrupt now But that balance of power and that's what we have to have in our lives too listening to different perspectives listening to different Um different ways of seeing and doing things and then coming up with an even better way of doing that said thing Do you think people like um Like einstein or isaac newton if these people really were who they Will just say they were who they said who they say they were you think that they Were such great scientists because they just stuck to their own opinion and didn't listen to anybody else No, I'm excited They had to keep trying and failing and trying and failing and you know, this is what I'm saying, you know Obviously, I'm a health coach I work with people and their animals on the health side of things and you know You can say all that isn't but the ultimate thing is you have to do you have to try you have to make a change If you've got any challenge in your life and what every area the only thing you know for certain Is what you're doing at the moment isn't working. So you need to try something different You don't need to blame yourself up about it You don't need to come up with excuses for why you just need to decide to make a change and try something different And when you keep doing that and go into things you will find what's right for you, you know, you really well I'm laughing because for the americans you guys I don't know if you guys remember studying the articles of confederation Before we had our constitution they created what they called the articles of confederation And it was so little government that it didn't work They had to go oops and go back to the drawing board and write the constitution because Even our forefathers were like, well, that didn't work. Let's let's do this again We had so little government that it got I got unruly. So so it's constantly Yeah, and it's constantly I mean the greatest people that we admire our heroes our scientists our doctors The writers of the world that that we love so much. They didn't just come out doing incredible things They they questioned themselves. They they got knocked down and got back up again. And so that's what creates that greatness It's that resistance, right? The more you the more you screw up and you have to restart again It's like building up a muscle with the weight the more it breaks down the stronger it gets And so always put yourself in a position where you're able to ask challenge your own self And challenges around you because that's how we become not to sound cheesy, but that's how we become great again It really is it is how you become great again and also There's nothing more appealing than a a person that has got Not a lack of confidence, but a humbleness To admit when they change their mind when they cause correct it And I would really hope In this community for whoever it is that we can open it up to if someone's Needs to cause correct and has done something in the past be the bigger person come out and say it Come out and admit to it and just allow people to make that change because if all we want to do is keep the vibration of punishment Going then we're not going to create this new world that we're all hoping for so No, absolutely.  And so yeah, absolutely guys. Anyway, um, kather What's going on in your channel? What's going on with you? Any new stuff for the We've got I've been really busy because I've been away traveling So it's been quite chart on my channel But for anyone that really talking about empowering yourself did a beautiful interview with my friend marina Who's a holistic dentist yesterday and she is a brilliant example because she was trained by the medical profession in the conventional way She had a freak accident Which meant that she had some time often decided to explore some different and then realize that everything she'd been told as a traditional Dentist was not great But she has the humility to share that journey and learn from it and course correct And I think everyone will get something out there interview because we it's very solution based I've got a couple of great people coming on next week Which will be different get new guests in my channels where they've been very much on the awakening journey And they're going to share some of the lessons they've learned and the tips for how we can Keep this open mind keep on this exploratory journey But still have really made the most out of our lives now not be putting everything on the back burner and waiting Um and also like you I've got an exciting new course coming through but next week We are hoping to do an instagram live.

You know if you can If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed if you're feeling a bit down Go and look at some of the cat videos Because you can't help because the great thing is I mean I do find some of the dog and other animals there They could be verging on abuse to be quite honest Um, you know someone sent me one the other day and it was all this monkey and dog And I was like there's no way they do that those animals have been drug But the thing is if anyone first got cats, we know we can't force a cat to do anything So I've never seen a cat video on instagram that's made me think the cat's being abused So let me put it that way so I can relax and just enjoy them There is a really funny um here with monkeys and dogs That's funny because monkeys are in india and I you never see them What the street dogs and the monkeys interacting at all And I think the dog the street dogs know that the monkeys will will will kill them So they stay out of the monkeys, but there is one I could count this guy doesn't these voiceovers.

Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel Inside the Hem. Today we are going on a little errand together. You guys are always asking me about my refashions and how I do it and how I come up with the concepts and all of that. So I was headed to Goodwill today and I thought that I would take you guys along with me where I can show you some types of garments that I would pick out for refashion and show you why I would choose them and then also explain kind of what I would make from them. So that should be a lot of fun. I have got my new little favorite thing in tow today. This is a tea that I have been drinking. It's part of like a 30 day tea detox. So every morning I drink this one that they call Skinny and it's completely replaced my coffee. I was drinking coffee first thing in the morning and then again at like two or three in the afternoon and now I have this one cup of tea in the morning and I don't need any more coffee. So that's been great.  It always is every year. I kind of touched on it a little bit in a video last week but just feeling like roll I don't know blah. My complexions all messed up. Low energy levels. Mood was like not great. Feeling pretty bloated and like my gut wasn't very healthy. So to get things back on track I was like let me try this 30 day plan. So then doing the skinny teas in the morning and those have been great. I really really love them but it's actually a two part system. So at night every other night I take this one that they call colon and let's just say it gets things moving in another way. I've done there's definitely a laxative quality to the colon tea. I've done various kinds of laxatives in the past with the digestive issues that I've had and some of them can be I mean they can be terrible like with heavy cramping and very very painful and all of that. This isn't like that. I mean it definitely does what it's supposed to do and there definitely is some cramping but it's not like terrible. It's definitely bearable and once you do what it's designed to do then it all goes away. You can go about your day.  It kind of does its thing and then it's out of your system and it's gone. So that's been really really nice. So like I said this is a 30 day tea talks. I'm about one weekend. You can tell I have tons of energy which has been really really great and I can see little differences like in my complexion. You know that stuff doesn't clear up overnight but just like the brightness behind my skin is starting to come back. I feel a lot less bloated like I said feeling like lighter. You know does that make sense? It is the daylight savings started so lots more daylight and you know all of that has been really really wonderful. So I feel like the tea talks was good timing with that. But they also have this cool little tumbler and the tumbler like this bottom part comes off and so you can store like vitamins in there or if you didn't want to steep your tea right away you could put your tea leaves in there and then in the top which I can't show you because it's full but in the top it has like a filter.  But I love this little tumbler. I know that I'm going to use it for past this tea talks. It's really great just to have and be able to take tea on the go especially if you're trying to like not rely so heavily on coffee. So yeah I really love this guy. It comes in a ton of different colors too. So yeah it's it's been really great and makes it very easy to do like a daily tea whether you're going to school or work or taking the kids to school or hanging out with the grandkids or whatever you just throw it together and run out the door and you are ready to go. I also wanted to let you guys know that Timi has sent me a coupon code for all of you guys to get 25% off your order with them that includes any of their tea talks. They have others that are not the skinny in the colon. I think they have like a boost one. Oh I can't remember them all but they have others that you might be interested in. So definitely go check out their website link in the description box below and the code is ith25. So if you want to go get yourself some teas or a tumbler or anything like that then use the code and you can get 25% off. But yeah okay so now we're headed to Goodwill and see what goodies we find. Alright so we have arrived. My very first stop every single time I go to Goodwill is the dress section mostly because that's where you can find the most fabric the garments that have the most to work with. So first up is this dress I found. I picked it out mostly because A I love the color and the color would look really good on my skin tone. B the fabric felt nice. It wasn't uncomfortable or scratchy. C it had this really great lace up detail that I can incorporate into my garment. Sleeves mean extra fabric so that's always nice. So I can imagine this garment being made into one of those like shirt dresses where the waist is elasticized and there's a little drawstring there. So it'll have that lace up detail on the bodice probably sleeveless and then cinched in at the waist for some definitions. Next up is this hot blue number. Truth be told though I did end up putting it back because the fabric just didn't feel great to me. It was 100% polyester which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it was just bad polyester if you know what I'm saying. But I did pull it out to inspect it because the color was right and the shape meaning shapeless and large and oversized was also right but in the end it wasn't going to work for a refashion. Okay next I found this super cute denim dress I think maybe tunic not 100% sure but I pulled it out because denim and chambray always are a good thing but it was made by Eileen Fisher and I just know from experience that Eileen Fisher uses really really great quality fabrics and so I knew that if I made this into something else it would have a long life beyond the long life that it's already had but it's not super long so I don't have a lot of link to work with so it'll probably be made into a boxy top. All right here's something that's interesting this isn't large or oversized or have a ton of fabric but what it does have working for it is this really super cool trim and Goodwill can be a great place to find trims at a great price. The dresses here are six dollars so I get all this yardage of trim to put on the hem of maybe that chambray dress I just showed you for really cheap. Okay so here's a really interesting example I found this large shapeless oversized dress I actually kind of really dig the print and I was also intrigued by the buttons that it would come with as well but as I inspected it further I realized it had large or four fisheye darts all along the bodice so I inspected the inside of the garment and what I found was some of those fisheye darts had been surged meaning if I were to take that surging out there would be a big gigantic hole running the length of the dress so the lesson here is you're going to have to get in there and inspect these garments front back inside and out to make sure that you are going to be able to work with what you're given. Okay so here's another dress that I found this is a strapless dress that quite honestly isn't very long but the skirt is cut into a circle skirt meaning there are just a ton of fabric there even though it's not that long so finding something like this adoring the cotton fabric and the little polka dots I knew that I could turn this into a circle skirt basically dropping off the bodice and adding a waistband super simple refashion. Next up I found another oversized shapeless dress and I just fell in love with the fabric but mostly this embroidered hem that they have on the dress I don't know if this was done in post-production of the dress or if that's how the fabric came but I just thought it was really really cute for a dress like this I really want to show off the hem so I would probably raise the hem up making the garment knee length and then do something really anything you can do a shift you can do a sheath you can do fit and flare it's just polyester it doesn't have a lot of stretch though so you got to keep that in mind. All right this is the last dress that I found and this goes kind of back to the embellishment this is a basic knit t-shirt dress and please excuse this lady that didn't realize that I was filming but I loved it because this jewel neckline to me was so beautiful and when you see how it's attached it's just it's just barely um tacked on I realized I could easily take that off and apply it to really any neckline that I have so I'm not a thousand percent sure that I am going to keep this knit part of the dress it is rayon which is nice um but I don't know about like a t-shirt dress uh but I'm definitely going to keep the jewel neckline and apply it to something okay so after finishing up in the dress section I usually head over to the skirts it is a little bit more limiting because you really have to find a maxi skirt and the maxi skirt has to be pretty wide um so it's usually a slim pick-ins over here but I did find this black skirt I didn't end up getting it but I just wanted to show you an example of what you're kind of looking for um this one had multi layers and elasticized waistband might have even been handmade well I don't know um but it's long and large and then every once in a while you'll stumble upon something cool like this vintage Givenchy skirt um it's a very high-end French designer I didn't think the print was atrocious so um I think it could kind of be cool it does have like a button closure on the side with a like little side zip um so I might try and keep all of that intact and just make it fit me somehow it is a little bit long there's a lot of fabric there so if I wanted I could just reuse the fabric the um care label was gone though so I have no idea what substrate it is it feels like some kind of crepe I'm imagining silk given the designer okay after skirts I head over to blazers again you're not going to really refashion these into anything major or different um they do have just have some cute ones over there if you want to add them to your wardrobe but I like going to the jacket section because you can find super cool buttons like check out these buttons here that have like these little I don't know faces on them I just thought they were neat and they would be cute applied to something more modern and there are a ton of them on this coat well well well quite the hall at the old Goodwill found a lot of really good stuff and hopefully you guys learned a ton too and will help to your Goodwill's and save some garments from the landfills or wherever they go and make something beautiful I will see you all in my next video very soon I've got some selling to do
