Good evening everyone last session and not I hope to keep it on time Omnichannel as we speak is a great strategy We have consumers at the center whenever consumers are at the core of any strategic decision It always means significant quantum of positive outcomes Here is a here is a strategic intervention Strategic way of working where we're talking about that every consumer seamlessly will be engaged by brands with relevant pieces of content Crafted for every touch point and consistent enough every time when they engage with you Now because there's an angle of relevance. There's an angle of consistency. There's an angle of seamlessness It's imperative. It's an imperative that it's likely to have Significant effect when it comes to brand building when it comes to commercial outcomes some of the stats actually Portrays the same and if you see it's about shoppers coming back more number of times average build values being higher There's a lot of advocacy that keeps getting built But it comes to a channel we are working As well as propensity for a consumer to get retained and hence an angle of loyalty And that's with this entire spaghetti loop like consumer journeys When you are trying to engage with them at every touch point in the journey It's likely that you are going to build a stronger brand a lot more Brand love with the way that you are going to work But having said that as an FMCG brand not like a retailer who has an end-to-end view of the consumer But when you are an FMCG brand like ours, is it really an easy task when it comes to creating an only channel kind of a strategy It's great on a theory It's great to talk about it that it creates a lot of effect a lot of impact a lot of efficiency in the way You're working and so on, but is it really really easy way of dealing with it? So if you look at the entire consumer journey today, and I was talking about the spaghetti loop kind of a consumer journey There is enormous number of journey pieces that we are aware of today that keeps happening But keep to the ability to really create a impact and being able to attribute each of these Investments that you do the engagements that you do with your consumers is not really very easy especially when there are broken links As a brand owner you have an ability to influence and also Harness information data to influence further is not always Seamless as the word only channel talks about it talks about being a seamless consumer journey So at ITC we have actually imbibed the concept of only channel in various places We have looked at from only channel way of inciting We have looked at it from consumer care and consumer interaction perspective of course commerce and Content and brand building. I'll be touching upon a few aspects today in our discussion to begin with is All about inciting now if I don't understand the consumers Of course this entire consumer journey the only channel conversations that we are having is futile So other than the overall traditional way of understanding consumers, there are a plethora of streams of Information that are coming into any organization for it for that matter for any brand It's about how do we synthesize that and how do we utilize that further in order to take those real? important decisions in order to impact the consumer and hence your business through the journey So just to exemplify that if you look at it, I just put down some six or seven such Sources if you look at towards your left Those are the kind of set up your own digital assets your own D2C's So they're all internal data sets very very structured Consumer ID led BII data led and so on and so forth if you look at the third and the fourth bucket They're quite so it's crawler based data You are engaging with organizations who are being able to service your requirements in terms of purchase Chances journeys on different e-commerce platforms that are happening and I'm saying end-to-end consumer journeys that are happening on various e-commerce platforms But the external data sets extremely unstructured aggregated form of informations and data sets Whereas you look at the last three they're both online as well as offline data sets again Extremely unstructured the social conversations all of us probably are now listening to consumers on social platforms At a day basis at the our basis to understand and take decisions But most of these again become very aggregated and unstructured So the question is that if is this really an only channel way of understanding consumers? We have multitude of sources coming to you, but really is it an only channel way of understanding So what happens at our case is that you build insights many of these insights gets validated revalidated Find tuned when you marry all of these for example You will probably see that average consumption of sugar is going down per household per month That's a purchase panel data You will look at and see from e-commerce data that are there certain categories in which zero sugar no sugar no added sugar Formats are growing or not. You will listen to consumers for social listening and see what are they talking about from a diabetes standpoint Is it a life stage or is it cutting across life stage where this is happening? So you validate few things for example is jaggery really growing and then you will marry them to see that what kind of new product development Are you going to embark upon what kind of content strategy are going to embark upon and so on and so forth? So yes, it is becoming a singular place through multitude of touch points But still not truly an only channel way of inside it. It's a it's a really difficult task to do that But having said that let's look at these three buckets commerce The content ecosystem And of course when you're doing all of that you need to look at personalization at scale So we'll first marry commerce and personalization and then content and personalization and take two examples to exemplify From an only channel perspective as an fxg brand. How do you want to take this and how we are taking this forward? So the first one when you look at it It's commercial personalization and I DC store is an example here to accept to explain this point of view So when you look at IDC store, which is a D2C platform that we have There are multitude of touch points for it Of course, you have your own website, which is your IDC store. I am you have IDC store as a seller or no IDC today You have IDC store as a seller on your 3p platforms like Amazon and Flipkart You have IDC store as an extension out from your brand site. So Narsheba or or a bingo or Or learn a peak will have extended out Towards IDC store and then as as situations prevail, you will also have a physical touch point like IDC store on wheels Now all these data set all these Touchpoints for a shopper With respect to IDC and its brands would send enough number of signals Which we would harness. Let's say that out middle ring that you're calling as customer need a half and You will reutilize these in order to achieve your acquisitions retention experience Engaging your consumers and even to the extent of building loyalty With the consumer So let's try and understand this a bit for example when it comes to acquisition When people have visited a brand site And they have consumed content on the side You have been able to harness a lot of high-intend consumer audience You have looked and you have segmented these consumers. So for example homemakers basis office party data We would have segmented them into seven seconds or eight seconds Each segment has some demographic variables It has deterministic variables and probabilistic variables which you would take and then finally craft Personalized communication in order to acquire consumers for Right so so you've utilized your existing data sets in order to acquire further consumer basis You would use tools and these are just tools today. There's something called use inside your tomorrow It would be something else you will use them to finally get consumers and when the consumer journey starts and And there are a few who would add items to the card There are a few people who would just browse and leave You will then again craft content, etc. And and try to target them and so on and so forth through the funnel right till the end where you have been able to Create meaningful conversations with shoppers at different touch points, but absolutely seamless so that the experiences are Such that they do not at any point in time feel that it's an off-platform or a non-platform Personalization that is that is at play Of course needless to say that there are personalizations that happens. You use a lot of DCO In order to arrive at the right set of content which is working for you vernaculars or Personalization by category and they end up and we've all seen they end up Showing better conversions and these are far far a few more examples on that or when people visit your Website so when they come to engage and there's something on an engaged fragrance finder And they've shown you their preferences towards a particular kind of fragrance or they've come to a site called Happy tummy and they've talked about their digestive health These further develops and helps you develop further content Which you would later utilize to craft content Personalized bringing them or drawing them back to itc store So this is how you would be utilizing your entire content ecosystem And of course loyalty program which bans across hotels itc store today and will further get expanded To all our brand sites going forward. So loyalty also becomes a single source from where you will be able to Generate a seamless engagement for your consumer base Moving on this is on when they see so you will try to provide for a similar experience For your ITC shoppers whether it is on when they see Or on platforms like Amazon and flip cut while each of these play very different roles For example, when you're on as a seller on Amazon or flip cut the more aim is to promote your long dates Pro core aim is to build relevant baskets control discounting, etc But the way your ITC store is playing a role there is a very different role But very similar in terms of experiences that you provide for Moving on this is ITC store on wheels. We started this during COVID when we Ensured that consumers can access their favorite brands at their doorsteps today The same mechanism is used in order to promote long tails as well as new launches and so on and so forth Moving on when we are looking at from and I'm taking the example of our Shiva multi-grade ecosystem the content ecosystem and personalization The first step obviously is to understand consumers Personas etc. And etc. But coming to multi-grade Multi-grade of course is positioned around the space of digestive health and it cuts across life stages And the idea was to create a thought leadership in this space and hence what we designed was a common currency Called digestive quotient and a lot of one content assets around it This digestive quotient was nothing other than a kind of a survey on the side by which you will be able to Give us information which through which we will be able to craft relevant communication relevant solves for you The usual sets with its ad campaigns influencers, etc. We're used to drive traffic to happy tummy And happy tummy is the platform where We had digestive quotient as a test There were multiple ways in which we wanted to engage with the consumers Through this so it's multiple sources from where you would bring traffic here And you will have multiple roads to further engage with the consumers to bring this alive And this is see a kind of a lonely channel experience that we provided for whether it's content here Whether it is content and advertisement Whether it's your backs which carried digestive quotient As something that you would as a QR code you will scan you will bring traffic here and so on and so forth so at every touch point that you had you created a Reason why people should come to happy tummy and engage on this area of digestive quotient Now basis this and these these exemplify them further Basis this you would and this is just one example at bottom funnel This is this you would for you'll get a score as you get a score you get a what's that message Giving you a discount coupon taking you down into the funnel for a conversion And so this is the entire only channel Perspective that we are bringing in when it comes to DQ So again very very complex DQ on as a DQ is a happy tummy website. We talked about all of these There are there are information bases which moves out from the happy tummy website There are information sets that are coming in you're triggering experiences through this set of Activities that you are doing Now while you are creating content you're also creating content keeping those consumer segments in mind So for example, you have a sedentary lifestyle versus people who are really proactive in health and then hence You've created content differently for different life stages or cohorts of consumers and then For example an active health seeker will see this content and these segments were created This is your first party data as well as what is available as segments on your third party platforms They will be there will be a chunk of consumers who would still avoid watching your content You will take them you will exclude them and you will show them the next content piece and so on and so forth Then move them into the consideration bucket and then finally into the purchase So so that's the Campaign funnel that you would be constructing and not only that you will be creating very very curated Landing pages so that if somebody has seen a sedentary lifestyle content when they land they actually see Landing page which is curated for somebody who is meant for the sedentary lifestyle Signals from there move into creating something called what we call as high quality traffic Which is I based on time spent scroll debt, etc And this is the high quality traffic which we pick up for further retargeting of consumers insurance Now when when people were on your platform, they shared information about their digestive health You would take up those pieces of information and say there is a chunk of people who consume less food Or they are facing stress or they're drinking less water So even there the relevant conversations and communication that you're doing is basis pieces of information They are sharing with you hence trying to make it as seamless as it can Because at every touch point you're making it extremely relevant for the consumers to engage with your brand and You are building your happy tummy and your shiva multigrain through that process We've also built a community around it on Facebook and today we have around 9,000 odd people on the community on on so Who are engaging on different content different kind of conversations with respect to digestion and All these of course are powered by a central Data hub your first party data hub and We know what is what is happening around With respect to cookies and so on so put that this is becoming increasingly important to provide for an only channel experience to consumers and But to make this happen there is one more enabler beyond the tech stack etc Is to create a content factory because if you go to a creative agency all that they want is to create Hero content nobody really wants to create content for your website content for For your personalization content etc So it was important for us to construct this content to enable content that scale a concept called the content factor The other enabler hence is this entire touch point ecosystem So we have designed this when we embarked upon the journey of creating a unified consumer experience As a thought or only channel kind of a thought This is a ITC food portal Which is which is all about food and content Related to that. There's nothing branded about it. There's another single ITC brand in this today There's a community on that called Foodies only on Facebook Your food portal is about to get launched. This is the cost customer data hub or your first party data center or the nerve center There are brand sites ITC store and other to see at the store here is just representing the D2C of ITC and all of these force powered by Adobe But the idea behind this is that without this construct It is very difficult for us to really provide for this Uniform only channel consistent relevant approach towards building brands. Thank you You


Income tax 2022-2023. Residential rental property, rental income and expenses if no personal use of dwelling. Part number one. Let's do some wealth preservation with some tax preparation. Most of this information comes from publication 527 residential rental property including rental of vacation home tax year 2022. You can find it on the IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov, looking at the income tax formula. We're focused on line one income. Remember in the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement, but just an outline other forms and schedules flowing into these line items. One of those, the schedule E, having rental income minus rental expenses. The net rental income in essence flowing into line one income of our income tax formula. Let's get on to the rental income and expenses if no personal use of dwelling.


our sightseeing tour of Ulaanoday is gonna have to be postponed for a little bit because this morning we have just noticed that we have some oil coming out from our fork here the right fork and you can see that it's a little bit sticky all along here and also that you've got a dark patch here clearly a little bit of oil has been dripping out we only just noticed this this morning I don't know if it's been happening for a long time but we looked it up online and apparently this might just be that there is dirt and dust inside the seal inside the fork seal here which is actually really likely because of course look at the thing it's like totally covered in dirt so it's really likely that dirt has gotten up inside the seal here which is apparently according to YouTube possible to clean yourself now this is not something we've done before but we're gonna give it a go apparently you can separate here the dust cap from the fork with a screwdriver and that gets slid down and then apparently we can use like a card or a little thin thing and we have actually cut this thing out from our garlic and herb pot this kind of is a circular thing so basically we just like this stick that up inside the fork seal spin it round and try to kind of get all the dirt and dust as much as we can out and try and clean up this fork seal and then see if oil continues to drip okay so apparently we can't remove the fender we thought we would be able to get it off quite easily but it's attached here with the brake lines and here as well and this is riveted on and this one which I think is the traction control or is it ABS I don't know so anyway we'll have to just pull the fender as far as we can out the way basically that is as best we can do if you do a close-up inside there you can see how much dirt is in there look at that yeah so basically we just got to clean out this whole area with our little plastic thing and we'll see how well we can do yeah definitely got some dirt on the end of there oh yeah okay my big pieces all right so that dirt is basically inside the fork seal and that's most likely what's causing the leak yeah look at that definitely got some dirt up in there you know my mechanic eh learning new things every day I don't think anybody ever mentioned to us one time about the possibility of dust and dirt getting the fork seals but maybe they did and we just no actually if I remember Ian from Royal Enfield in England he actually mentioned make sure that your folks are clean sorry in good job yeah let's see how it goes hey yeah it's looking good now it's looking good show me the dirt yeah there you go all right yeah always feel so naked without the honey is on the side it's lightweight now that's fine looks good time to rock and roll then yep welcome back to our circle navigation around the globe by motorcycle we're here in the city of Oolano day in Siberian Russia and today we're doing a little bit of sightseeing it's already the afternoon because well for two reasons really the first is that we're a little bit sick and we just laid in bed for ages trying to kind of heal and recover and the second reason is that we had to deal with that fork issue this morning yeah fingers crossed our little cleaning up is helping a lot the idea for today is we're just doing a little bit of sightseeing around the city of Oolano day we'll be visiting a couple of spots the first place we'll be visiting is this cathedral right in front of us I didn't realize it was so close by the way we sort of started our drive and then it's like we're already here St. Odigitlievsky's Cathedral and I'll tell you guys more about that in a minute but the second place we'll be visiting is a Buddhist Datsun which is like a monastery and then the third place we'll be visiting is Lake Baikal the largest freshwater lake in the world so it's going to be a really cool day we're going to start by visiting this beautiful orthodox Cathedral all right so we're just going to go in into the cathedral separately because it's literally just here and that way we can just sort of leave bumblebee all set up with the cameras and everything and not worry about losing anything I'm going to go have a look and tell these guys a little bit about this Cathedral okay so this Cathedral St. Odigitlievsky Cathedral was built between 1741 and 1785 and it's built in the Russian Baroque style and it's a Russian Orthodox church they got these super cool golden towers on the top just looks amazing and actually this building was the first stone building built in the city how cool is that and it was built right next to the River Ude on its confluence with the Selenga River the River Ude is what gives Ulan Ude its name or half of its name anyway I don't know if I can talk very much inside but let's go have a look oh cool look at this I have a camera okay thank you I'm just coming around the front actually just to see if maybe there's a bigger room with an entrance on this side which there might be I don't know but wow it's a pretty impressive structure though hey beautiful white with this blue all along it oh wow it actually looks like the main room it's under construction at the moment just take a quick peek so the moment it looks like actually this main room on the inside is under construction and the only part that you can really enter is the part we went in before beautiful but I got told off for filming but anyway it's really really nice inside really beautiful a lot of gold yeah go take a look yeah there we go first sightseeing in Ulan Ude the Cathedral of Saint Odigitrovsky so we're actually in the center of the old town right now the city was actually founded in 1666 by the Cossacks and the first name of the city was called Odinsky because of its location on the Ude river and it's actually located on the confluence of the Uda and Selenka rivers but it became a really popular trading zone because of its really good location between Mongolia China and Russia but it wasn't until the arrival of the Trans-Siberian Railway here in 1900 that the population like really really exploded the population was only three and a half thousand people in 1880 and by 1939 the population had exploded to 126,000 but of course the Cossacks were the first people to come to this region the first people were called the Everich later followed by the Buryat Mongols which actually still make up a large ethnic group in this state which is called the Buryat Republic so the name was actually changed quite a few times but the modern name Ulan Ude means red Ude and that red is because of the Soviet Union they named it in honor of that and actually here in the city they have a massive statue of a bust of Lenin as well the largest bust of Lenin in the world so the current population of the city is around 437,000 people making it the third largest city in the Far East of Russia behind Khabarovsk and Vladivostok which we visited earlier on this trip look here's another one of those beautiful trucks look at that yeah really cool so yeah pretty cool historical place to visit here in the Far East of Russia oh cool look at this that's Grandin yeah oh I think this might be where the bust of Lenin is actually somewhere around here anyway ah there it is I can see it over there just about look look look there oh yep whoa that's a massive head nice so now we're gonna head to our second tourist destination in the city which is the Datsan Rinpoche Bagshah the Buddhist monastery on a hill where we should get a pretty good view of the city that's it that's the city cool you do get a really good view from up here you can see down there the Uda and the confluence just over there and the other river Selengah is going off this way and so the heart of the city was basically founded on the confluence of those two rivers super windy today because we're up on the mountain here we go through the flags wow amazing Datsan Rinpoche Bagshah Datsan is just the brilliant term for a monastery so this place is effectively a Buddhist monastery and interestingly this whole state is actually a Buddhist Republic so Buddhism is the primary religion of this entire state of Russia so the name Rinpoche Bagshah well Rinpoche means the precious one and Bagshah means teacher in the Buryat language this place is a teaching of the precious lessons of Tibetan Buddhism so this Datsan was established in 2000 with the blessing of the Dalai Lama so it's really cool because in just one afternoon we can see two important religions in this area the Russian Orthodox Church and the Tibetan Buddhism pretty awesome place look at us going to a restaurant and not eating on the side of the road Vegetables are so nice amazing got a really really nice sweet soy sauce on it that's great beautiful what a nice simple lunch of vegetables with some Chia Bata buns and I felt very zen eating lunch next to the Buddhist monastery no that was a really nice place to visit actually nice to see an aspect of Buryat culture here yeah I mean we had so much fun we actually spent a little bit too much time here we are a little bit in the rush to reach late by Karl because it's 83 miles and it will take us about two hours and it's already 5 30 so better hit the road let's go at least in Russia it's really cool because you know always when it turns green here they have a countdown yes five four three two one this state Buryatia is a beautiful state it's got so many mountains and lakes and rivers pretty bad road to be honest it's pretty bumpy I think this will be a pretty good test to see if our front fork is still leaking oil because if that seal is not back to normal then we're going to know about it by the time we get to the lake wow it's such a bumpy road but really charming villages along this road though again like with the little fields that they've all got in front of their houses oh yes we're getting our first views of Lake Baikal wow it is just on the other side of this field I don't know if you guys can see it on the GoPro just yet but in about half a mile we're about to park up in front and then we should get a really good view of this crazy crazy massive lake okay so apparently there should be a road here okay it leads to appear we can check that out according to the map the pier should be just in here wait a second it's okay no close maybe we can ask if Russian where the pier is yeah okay let's ask we saw on the map that there was a pier here is it possible to see one here we are the hat here okay okay that seemed to work I think yeah we were apparently just a little bit wrong we were about to go into a private property when actually the pier should be around here keep an eye on the road but yeah can you see up here no but just go straight here because they said like goes like this you know around okay okay I think he said like sort of around yep yep yep right that goes to the cows or is it always actually in front oh yes there it is can I ride there okay let me go back in a circle does that look all right look at this oh it's massive look at that no problem oh no problem okay good nice and easy oh yeah there's loads of cows here oh yeah so the pier is actually behind their property yeah it's interesting how cool is that hey oh nice there's a load of flies oh my god okay okay okay be careful concentrate on the on the road right I gotta close my visor okay okay okay oh there's something in my helmet wait a minute whoa wow there's a lot of flies here okay no no we're keeping our visors on and down anyway more importantly this lake by Cal well that is hardly a lake is it I mean that just looks like the ocean I mean it's just if you can't see anything it just goes off off into the distance wow that's really crazy no yeah that's absolutely huge Lake by Cal hey credible we finally made it that's crazy I'm so happy so Lake by Cal is the largest freshwater lake in the world and the deepest lake in the world it really is an ocean yeah an inland ocean look at this this is pretty dodgy but anyway yeah it's broken over there okay well we'll go a little bit let's walk on this bit I think for people this is okay I think for vehicles maybe not wow it looks beautiful though very beautiful yeah and another reason why it's even more like an ocean is because actually seals live here the by Cal seal wow yeah can you believe it let's jump over this to this one and let's have a look down okay okay yeah well you can't really see any seals from here anything really dark murky brown wow the water also this also this log is like not very stable not the best look no okay okay let's just walk until the end of this bit at least okay it's such a dark color isn't it yeah wow it's like a really ominous lake actually to be honest I was like when we came the hell was that when we came here I was like oh maybe we'll go for a swim there is absolutely no way that we're gonna go for a swim yeah freeze to death yeah apparently the lake is really really cold I don't know if we should go much further do you want to go a little bit more okay I know it goes a little bit further but I think that's as far as we should go because that bit looks super dodgy like the pier next to us is totally destroyed anyway I definitely don't trust this too much so I think we're okay here this is about as far as we should go this is just absolutely amazing look at this lake it really feels like we're on the coast I'm just so so so happy to be here to see this beautiful lake with my own eyes just doesn't look like a lake wow good job made it Lake Baikal baby yes so I just looked up some info about this lake and it's absolutely crazy because there is five thousand six hundred and seventy cubic miles of water here that's a ridiculous amount of water here it is twenty two to twenty three percent of the world's fresh water and it's more water here than all of the North American Great Lakes combined I mean I can't even fathom how much fresh water that is it makes me thirsty but of course it's also the world's deepest lake and that's why it's got so much water it's one thousand six hundred and forty two meters deep that's five thousand three hundred and eighty seven feet it's also the world's oldest lake because it's twenty five to thirty million years old and it's actually slightly larger by surface area than Belgium sorry Belgium so all in all this is a pretty crazy lake and it's pretty crazy to be here yes but it is gonna get dark in less than two hours and we've got more than two hours to ride back to Oolano day so yeah I think it's time we head back to Bumblebee and hit the road yeah goodbye Lake Baikal goodbye what a place what a place amazing so that's it for us today we hope you enjoyed the video if so please give us a thumbs up subscribe to the channel share the video with your friends and family comment below and if you really really really like our videos you can join us on Patreon the link is in the description below and we will see you next time look at this fork look at that that is completely clear after two hours and an incredibly bumpy road that is looking amazing now I don't want to say it too prematurely but I think we may have fixed it but it looks good it looks really good yes loving it all the mechanics ready beautiful look how many horses they are amazing hey guys wow


Good morning, Terry. Just want to talk to you about your drilling endeavors for 2024 with power nickel. Sure, we had, you know, super exciting sort of next 12 months. We started off with a bang, really started drilling about a week, 10 days ago at our flagship project NISC in Damascus, Quebec, finished our first hole successfully was another good hole for us. And we're on to hole number two. Hole two is really exciting because it's testing where we've got, we used an interesting program last year called ambient noise tomography. And I'd say it's an interesting new way to sort of identify resources underneath the earth's crust. It's basically uses a super sensitive seismic to measure the velocity of the rock. It allows you to bring in other technologies like downhole EM, airborne EM, IP gravity, drilling data, and it acts almost like an operating system together with its own information. And then you get like an amazing 3D visualization of your subsurface. See a lot of great lithographic controls. So you see faults where they are. And so it's super helpful. And we had one hole last year that we drilled as a result of this, which we thought was going to be a barren area, but they said no, it's going to be successful. And it was. That was hole 36. So now we're, they identified a signature for what was working on our deposit. And when basically, when they, we have an ultrometric deposit. And when you, it measures 4,300 meters a second squared, the ultrometric rock, when it drops off to 36, 37, 50, that's where the mass of sulphides got deposited almost on a one for one basis. So that was a signature. So then we looked in our survey radius of about four square kilometers around our core deposit and said, Hey, where else are we seeing this signature? And we identified four, you know, sort of significant areas, each one sort of independent, some of them cut off by, by other faults. So we have really four separate target areas. We call them not uniquely ant one, two, three and four. So we're drilling ant three, which is a little bit to the west of NIST main, maybe a half a kilometer west across the fault block. And we're drilling that now. And, you know, we'll be drilling it. We'll see what happens here over the next week to 10 days, but we're optimistic this will be, you know, a success story and show another block. Generally, nickel sulphide deposits come in pods. You know, every single one that's ever been produced in the history of the world, it's always a multiple pod. So for example, NIST right now, we've got the one NIST main, that's the one pod. It's highly likely we'll find other pods. And we expect the exploration program this winter to deliver that promise. So I'm just going to back you up. I was reading in your corporate development that you're planning on increasing your ownership in the NIST project. Would you like to comment on that? Yes, well, we had an option to acquire up to 80%. And the last remaining, you know, issue with that option was the delivery of the 43-101, which we delivered in, you know, just about a week or 10 days ago on the final report. So now we're just finishing up the paperwork with critical elements and we will, you know, close on our 80% position. So we'll go from 50 to 80% as per our option plan. You touched on the drilling, the aggressive drilling strategy and advancing your exploration at NIST, but you're also planning on completing your feasibility study with, you know, Outstanding Partner, of course, CVMR. Would you like to comment on that? Yes, yes. So obviously working away on that, they were waiting for our 43-101 to do some of their additional work. So expect we'll be getting a report in February on the sort of the benchmark study. And then the next would be the prototyping and then finally the feasibility sometime in Q3. So we do have some original testing back and, you know, their process is going to be a lot more attractive for us in terms of recoveries. So every deposit has different methods of recovering the metals, you know, for the mining process. When you make a, you know, our 43-101 that we just completed was done with the, using a concentrate as the output. When you make a concentrate, you know, for the descent to the smelters to process, you really are dealing with 100-year-old technology. So you have to have very specific formulas for those folks to like your concentrate and buy it. So unfortunately, those formulas are not conducive for the highest recoveries for your mineral. So you leave a lot of, like in our case, 70% of the nickel is recovered, but 30% isn't. With CVMR, we're getting more like 90%. So that's like a 30% improvement across the board. So you're great to go from like 1.13 to 1.5, which is huge, obviously, for economics. The other interesting thing with CVMR is iron represents about 12% of our deposit because it's a nickel associated with iron. In the concentrate, the iron is a waste product. With CVMR, the iron is a paying product because they turn into iron powder. So, you know, you not only get more out of your nickel, but you actually broaden your recoveries of your other materials and add a new one in there. Okay. I would also say that one thing, those of you going, okay, nickel, we're interested in nickel. You've explained why absolutely everybody should be looking at the nickel market. Can you talk a little bit more about what I deem to be a competitive edge? And that is your use of technology. You touched on a little bit with your ant technology. And you also, there's a discussion in one of your most recent news releases about your leapfrog edge technology. Would you like to comment any further about that? Yeah. You know, I think the leapfrog has been out there for a while. And I think almost every competent mining firm will be using it. It's a really good software, Ambient Noise Tomography. We're certainly one of the first on top of that technology. I think that will sweep the industry. It's Austria is fastest growing company now. Rio Tinto spent $24 million with the last year. So I've been told, I mean, so I think it's just an amazing new tool that we'll all need to use. And I'm a big believer, I'm not a geologist or geophysicist. I'm just an investor. And I'm a big believer about doing as much intellectual property work you can on mining before you drill. Drilling is always the last resort. I want to disprove every drill we're going to take.  But what we want to do is develop high grade bets and make those bets. They are still bets. Mining is still not perfect. Ambient Noise Tomography is not going to guarantee us 100% drill success because that's not how, you know, you know, drilling economics work. You basically are looking to push the envelope. You find an ore body and you want the ore body to be, you know, infinitely big. But of course, the reality is they're not, you know, there's a limit. Eventually, the ore body peters out, but you have to push that limit to find out where that is. So at the end, you ultimately find out the ore body limit by missing it. And then you realize, okay, it's back from there. That's sort of, you know, how it happens. But the Ambient Noise Tomography helps you really sort of get the most out of your deposit, I'd say. And it helps you develop a signature to find other deposits if they're located on your property package. And we certainly got that, you know, prospect for power nickel. We're aggressively exploring it this winter. Well, it's as always, Terry, what a pleasure. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you, Tracy. Have a great day. Cheers.


What do you think? What's going on everybody? Welcome to the hot pot boys. David and Andrew here. We got to talk about this. There's this white TikToker girl who I believe is in Germany and she's going super viral for making these jokes about how different the culture is when she's living with her Asian boyfriend. People being outraged at her, people supporting her, people being outraged at the outrage. Man I'm telling you this is where the Asian community split like they cannot decide on anything. Yeah apparently this issue of is of extreme gravity. All right but it does bring up some interesting points and we want to talk about it. So first off let's start off the video talking about the things we like about her TikToks and the things that we might not like so much. Okay first off you got to say it is comedy. She is attempting to be a comedian. Her TikTok career is based around cultural comedy. I will say one thing she is generally I think the intent is to be positive about her boyfriend. She lives in a household that's very very traditional and she is experiencing all these things. She's immersed in the culture. However she is poking fun at him. I would say on the downside the content or the comedy execution is cringy. That's fair. I mean I think that she does have some kind of surprisingly deep cut jokes in there about culture that you kind of have to live in a Chinese household to even experience but the kind of the faces she's making this whole TikTok meme thing it's it's executed a little shaky. Right it's a little cringy. She's clearly not Tina Fey. She is an amateur comedian which is what people go to TikTok for. Right one thing that I know a lot of people and there are mostly guys who are championing her on this is like she said her Asian boyfriend's penis is large and that was just like you know a lot of Asian guys are just taking that as a compliment but some people are seeing that as kind of fetishization and exoticizing something and maybe trolling other Asian guys to get views because she knows that when she says stuff like that there will be like Asian guy fans who appreciate that. A pro you could argue is the content side it's funny enough that some people would argue that a con you know a knock against her is also the content because she could be viewed as exoticizing the Asian culture saying the chopsticks are very complicated to use like being like what are these sauces this is weird. I think she's literally German in Germany. Another good part is it actually did make me laugh when she pointed out the grandparents paintings because I was just like yo we got some grandparents painting in our you know house that we grew up in so it's like tough what a good point.  You had some nice plates. Yeah like if a white girl was dating me she could not make these tiktoks because my house will not look like this. No you wouldn't have the rice cookers from 1995. Yo those are some old those are not the cuckoo rice cookers not what the digital it's not the zojibushi. At the end of the day I think that a lot of the crowd that went out against this German tiktoker white girl essentially don't like it like white people commenting on the culture like for example had she been black and doing the same thing I think people would have been more like more receptive to it. Yeah I think what you're saying is that basically when we see a white face say anything about Asian culture and even if it's kind of positive but still also has a tinge of kind of jokingness that we usually or otherness we usually roll with the negative side of it and we're like whoa this person's being negative because they're white. Now she is if she's from Germany and in Germany you know they're not as like woke like America is so this is not like a liberal arts school white girl from the east coast this is literally a girl in Germany if that's the case then like do we give her a break and kind of give her a pass like hey Germans are kind of like behind on the whole woke stuff like chill on it. And I would say on this particular issue the the large pool of like gray colored moderates are actually more going uh going against the woke crowd. I do think that uh not to fully defend her but we do have to look at the intentions of the tiktokers because I've seen a lot worse tiktoks out there. Well if she's living with the Chinese dude and dating him and I'm assuming having sex with him.  If she enjoys having sex with this guy because and she loves him I don't know. Yeah yeah so I mean um I don't know I mean that that provides a lot of strong context to interpret things within the context. And it also matters that you know I think a lot of Asian bros are feeling like oh this is complimentary and a lot more people on the woke side are like hey guys this is the same stuff that white men due to Asian women and is problematic. It is true that if she would if it was a white guy making these exact same tiktoks about his Asian girlfriend he would get roasted. Yes that is that is true that is true. But you would also have to say that the gender dynamics would be also completely different and you know it's not right it's not wrong it is what it is you could argue we live in a patriarchal society it's been that way for a long time. So when it comes to the question is she being racist or not David what's your take no I mean I think she's just being German you know Germans they don't have that good of a sense of humor for people who have spent a lot of time internationally like I remember when we were living I was living in Shanghai there was like a lot of Europeans around and I would always try to find out the European stereotypes about everybody and everybody said the Germans like kind of struggled with modern sarcasm. From a comedic standpoint from a tiktok standpoint she's not being racist unless was it cringy though unless no it was cringy but unless she touted herself as like a super woke person I don't think it's racist. I do think that once you put that label on yourself like hey I know better I know culture then you probably can't fully make these like simplistic jokes but no I don't think it was racist. Now what would have been racist is if she did stuff like well when me and my Asian boyfriend have babies they'll look like this that would have been like a little bit like whoa chill girl like that's not really uh that's really bad comedy in that sense but yeah I mean I feel like there's more racist jokes she could have made it's not racist. I thought it would have been funny if she would have put a wiener schnitzel on some noodles or something I don't know some German or some Asian I don't know it would make me laugh like it's interesting to see because it's like a lot of people don't understand when you live in in America it's even though it's an interracial relationship it's not an intercultural relationship because both people are like born and raised in America this is a true interracial intercultural relationship like where this person's in Germany which is homogenous this guy's from China that's homogenous and she's living in a Chinese household in Germany so of course they're gonna have like these crazy perspectives on comedy and like the differences like that we might find like cringe inducing in America. You know for me with everything that's going on and all the Asian attacks that are very very real taking all that stuff into consideration because we think about that stuff a lot I kind of got like this new standard on how to judge stuff on how racist it is and my standard is how directly does this encourage hate crimes against Asians that's my new standard is this thing going to lead to a crime now there are different acts and things that are said that you can say pretty clearly are going to lead to more hate crimes against Asians and there are things in my opinion like this TikTok that are very very very far from it. Just sometimes I'm shocked that the Asia community gravitates like fireflies to a lantern to the most trivial things I get it it's a little bit easier to understand these like softball microcosms than like actual issues that like dictate these larger dynamics but hey man 2022 however you need to think about it think about it. I know that fetishization true fetishization is actually overall not good I agree however there's a thin line between feeling desired and appreciated and fetishization there's a line that you can cross and I feel like Asian guys are like dude we just got ignored and rejected by so many women over the decades that we could use just people who toe that line please we'll we'll call it out let us call it out there is a little bit of a feeling of like you guys are not going to cancel this one above average white girl who likes us like you know you're not canceling her we're we're taking this guys let us be you know what I did like about it too is like this guy is not like a k-drama k-pop model this guy is like a chinese hacker which is like uh you would say on the scale of asian desire really below the k-pop guy so you know I think that's not worthy she's literally saying she appreciates traditional asian guys who use the computer a lot do you understand that on the internet she is going to be very very popular okay her tiktoks could have been racist but I don't think they were so anyways guys that's gonna wrap up our take on whether this white tiktok girl from germany is being racist when she makes jokes about her asian boyfriend please let us know in the comments down below what you think and again it's the hot pot boys until next time we out peace


Hey what's up folks, in this project we're building a smart fume extractor with Circuit Python and the Adafruit Funhouse. This uses a PC fan and an air quality sensor to make a fume extractor that can change speed based on the quality of the air. The fan is controlled with PWM using an EMC-2111 fan controller. A mini fan in the center helps direct fumes to a SPG-30 air quality sensor. The speed of the fan is mapped to the sensor so it will automatically adjust when it senses any solder fumes. The sensor values and fan speed are displayed on the Funhouse's 1.5-inch TFT display. With Circuit Python and the DisplayIO library, you can use custom fonts and bitmap images. There's a carbon-activated filter fitted over the PWM fan so it can absorb any solder smoke. All of the electronics are secured in a 3D printed enclosure with parts that snap fit together. The idea and code behind this Circuit Python project is from Liz Clark of BlitzCityDIY. The main program takes readings from the sensor and maps it to the fan's RPM. On boot up, you can decide to connect to Wi-Fi and log data to a feed using Adafruit IO. Text objects are updated on the display and values are printed in the serial console. Be sure to check out the code walkthrough by Liz on the Adafruit Learn system. With Adafruit IO, you can create a visual dashboard of the sensor data and fan speed. Using a line chart, we can plot our sensor data and see it change over time by setting up our feeds. In the code, we can set how frequently to send data to a feed in Adafruit IO. With your fumes in the cloud, you can use your mobile device to access your dashboard anywhere remotely. The wiring and assembly for this build is documented in our Learn Guide. There you can get the Circuit Diagram, demo code, and instructions on getting set up with Circuit Python. Our enclosure design in Fusion 360 features 3D models of the electronics with parts from GrabCAD and McMaster Car. The challenge in this project led to designing a cover for the mini-fan to make better airflow. An opening just behind the sensor allows the fumes to exit through the back of the mount. The Adafruit Funhouse has lots of built-ins that make these types of projects great for folks who are just getting started. We hope this project inspires you to check out Circuit Python and Adafruit IO.


Oh, oh my. We are getting away with a lot of bad stuff. Not even getting away. We're still getting punished, but we're just not done. Damn. I got hit with the tideskip. How's it going everybody? Dottodoy here with another round of Dragon Ball Fighter's Ranked Matches. This time we're back with a team full of Vegeta. We got base. We got Super Saiyan and we got Super Saiyan Blue. I don't know how I almost messed up that last one, but I did. In reality, I just wanted to play this team specifically because I think base Vegeta is super good. He has some old, almost Bardock-like qualities that I didn't really take into consideration until now. He also has these amazing Key Blast, which is a huge reason for why I love him so much. Also, Super Saiyan Vegeta, this is just clutch. Also, watch this, Okie. Do you guys like the Destructo Disk, Okie? How come... Hey, somebody riddle me this. How come this Destructo Disk? Oh no, is it a Reflect option? That's fine. I can just not attack. How come Vegeta's Destructo Disk is better than Krillin's? Oh, this guy is... This guy is getting me. Oh no! Oh God, that was... That was scary. I thought we were about to lose base Vegeta way too early. I also thought he was going to switch out, but he used both of his assists, so we had that going for us. That was beautiful spacing. I've never seen spacing like that. Oh wow, he ran up on me. That was cool. I think he predicted the Reflect, or maybe he just didn't think I would hit buttons. Okay, we're back in the corner. Oh, bad Reflect there. That's going to be an easy switch out into Vegeta Blue for me. Yep, unfortunately doesn't have the best Okie though. That was supposed to be a vanish. Oh no, we didn't get it in time. Okay, we can guard that. Oh wow, no, actually Dato, you can't actually guard that. Funny story. Okay, he sparks up to avoid. Oh, why did I go with the late Super Dash? Okay, keep the neutral. Keep the neutral. We DP. Oh no, yes we do. Okay, again, this is where you want to switch back out into your point character of choice for me. That's the boy. Okay, I see you, I see you now.  Yeah, tech that. Oh, we miss it. Okay, that's fine. Yes, base Vegeta. Okay, a little more expensive than I think it had to be. But I'll take it dude, to keep base Vegeta in, that's my game plan. Okay, here it comes. The Key Blaster is so powerful. And don't forget, once we get a bar, we can absolutely, oh no. Once we get a bar, we can absolutely, oh wow, I was going to say jail him, but that's only if he blocks it. Okay, Super Saiyan Vegeta. Oh, we drop it. Okay, nice. Okay, he spaces that jump poorly, but we just play poorly. All right, nice. We pick up a win. Oh man, that was almost bad. This guy's actually super good at spacing. So that was actually a surprise at the end there. Otherwise though, he spaced everything pretty good, that entire match. All right, big loading times, huh? I can't... Anybody else seein' this? Okay. Hmm, I've never seen... Is this me? It probably is, right? Nah, okay, we're back, we're back, we're back. All right, maybe I should, maybe he was trying to wait. Oh God. Ooh, nicely down heavy there. I was trying to get away with some bad assist timing. No Kamami Ha, so we're good to go. I will just call him Vegeta here. No reflect. He just takes the hit. He just takes the hit. All right, and we're going back out into base Vegeta. We're going back out, we want that point character out there. Now ideally, we probably could have gone into blue Vegeta. It would have been ideally the same. Oh, that was sick. Yamcha's assist is working well. Dragon rush? No dragon rush. Too slow on the draw. Okay, now we can let blue Vegeta take some stuff here. Oh, this is the fakest game of fighters I've ever played. Okay, nice. Ah, we couldn't get the vanish off to make that save. Okay, we're out, we're out, we're out. Yeah, we got those dps. Oh no, that doesn't combo. Completely forgot. He has to just block this though. That's going to punish.  I just got absolutely blown up there. Oh, I didn't block that fast enough. Wow. Maybe I did, but I accidentally went down back. That might have been it. This could probably kill two bars. Ball? I don't know which one does more damage in this case. So probably. Oh yes, that covers that. Oh, but I feel your pain, dude. I'm a Yamcha player. Cease, ceasefire. Dragon rush, nice. I'm a Yamcha player. I know this guy is fuming because I would have been. All right, let's turn this dude into space dust. This jails. Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. Oh, that's not safe. Great, great key blast on this character. And we just keep the pressure up. Oh man. These base Vegeta is so good. I wish I was a... The thing is, I'm not the biggest fan of Vegeta. I think he's a cool character. But if any of you guys play fighting games with friends, both of my friends are huge Vegeta fans. So it's like, you know, I want to respect them, let them have their character. Oh, he is. He is watching out for that. Oh no. That was almost bad. Oh no, I tried to keep last there. Oh wow. See, this dude is... I don't know if... That's crazy. I thought that would be a Zamasu. I was getting a little ahead of myself. Oh, I don't take that with the light that I threw up. Block it, block it, block it. Don't go in. Ooh, we missed that. That's safe. Oh, you love to see that one happen. Nice. Okay, that's a good read. Call them the blue Vegeta to get away with a little bit of murder. And we go into the low. That was sick. Oh my God. Super Saiyan Vegeta and base Vegeta are the coolest Vegeta characters in this game. And that's a easy statement to make, because there's three Vegeta's. So, you know, calling two of them a lot of fun. That's a pretty easy statement to get away with. All right, but how will we play this next game? Ooh, in 10 frames of starting lag. Ooh, wow, we don't recover fast enough. All right, let's see it. Oh, that was... That was too slow in the draw there. We get bot, we get bot. That's no problem. No reflect. Low, he went low again. High. Okay. I can't believe he didn't try something there. Oh, reflect. I feel bad because my, my cross-up wasn't even like that good. So, oh, beautiful guard cancel. And we get the switch out. Oh, he blocks after that. Oh, I tried blocking. Oh, and again. We just get spaced out. Yamsha Meteor, he's probably going to snap back. No, he doesn't want to mix up. He wants to keep the pressure going and it works out for him. Three bars will kill here. Yep, he sees it. Nice. Is that going to hit? All the blades hit. We are looking kind of dead. Oh, that's... No, no, no, no. Where's my meter? Oh, wow. We don't even get close. Okay. We're super dashing too much. As soon as I click that button, instant regret. Like, it just all came up, dude. Nice use of the beam there. I think he knew I was going to get desperate. Oh, my goodness. We are getting eaten alive. Oh, oh, my... We are getting away with a lot of bad stuff. I'm not even getting away. We're still getting punished, but we're just not done. Damn. I got hit with the time skip. Tech that. Okay, nice. Our defense is getting better. I've been focusing on the defense aspect. There we go. Throw in a dragon rush. Is this going to be a prime position to kill? It might not be. Unfortunate, unfortunate. Run up. Nice. Hit him with the low. That was quick stuff. He had to keep blocking. I don't blame him for trying to get out. Honestly, I only ran up and did that because I know I would have been scared. Oh, nice. We get an easy chance to go back out into our point character. Oh, we get... We try doing a non-safe destructive this. I try to do a key blast there into the light kick. Oh, behind the back. I've hit so many people with that, and yet I can't block it myself.  I mean, blue Vegeta. Level three sparking. Is it going to be enough to get the job done? I think in some people's hands? Probably. But in mine, when you got reads like these, it's definitely baby. Uh-oh. Oh, he... Mmm, okay. Tech that. This is not the same Dr. Doi we all saw before, baby.  That was a great decision by him because now I just kind of have to... Oh, yeah, I'm just his... All right, behind the back. We don't got to waste no time. Too obvious. Too obvious. Great option by our opponent. Level three. You should level three right here. Overhead again. Overhead again. Low. There we go. Ha. I got to... I just got to try whatever works, man. Okay. We're going full blast. Uh, crank it back. What's the mix? What's the mix? What's the mix? Overhead low. Nice. He back dashed. I don't... We could probably go to hit him with an overhead there. Did he think Dragon Rush was coming out? No, no, no, no. Oh, we got to be careful. No, we can't get close to Yamcha like this, dude. That's us. Oh, we... Oh, man. This is... That's heartbreaking. I knew that was dangerous. He doesn't drop it. Great game, dude. Big lag. That's going to hurt our rematch, our efforts. That was a great game, though. Got the blood pumping on that one. All right. I can always respect losing to a Yamcha. I respect losing to everything, but Yamchas especially. We got outplayed that game. Now that I'm thinking back on our loss, that was just all outplay. We got outplayed hard in the neutral, especially. Lots of beams, lots of stuff. He's reflecting a lot there. I got to... No, I tried to run up and block. Down tech? We get away with it. Oh, Yamcha keep... No. I hate when they run up and do that. Because you always try to cheese it with a vanish. All right, this time we just tech normally. There it is. Oh, good stuff. The beam that I was fearing about. Okay, that should not have worked that way. But why not? Why not let it... Oh, no. There we go. We go low. We're just going to get Goku back. Nice. Nice, nice, nice. Okay. I'm focusing now. Nice. We hit him low. Oh, man. This is just a game of high and lows. Team Vegeta, that's what it's all about. Bait it. That was great. Back dash. He's respected. This is a game of fighters, lads. No down heavy. Oh, I saw it coming too. This is a great game of fighters. That's... This is nice. He's punishing every mistake. This is like when it gets super exciting because this is where you have to play good. And the only mistakes are the ones that you got to really capitalize on. That was obvious.  Oh, no. Okay, that was kind of cool. Okay. Oh, no. I don't get it. Oh, that's bad. That's unfortunate. Where did Goku get that blue health from? All right, questions aside. We just got to get back into it. Oh, I had to read. I had to read, but I accidentally jumped. All right. Keep your eyes open on defense. Watch the techs. You don't have a DP to get out of this. Nice DP again. Oh, it throws him off, though. Bad choice. Switch. Nice. A little cheesy, but it gets the job done. I'm not going to be angry about it. Full health, Yamcha. All right. No more assist on the board. We can play some pretty nice. No, he didn't actually down heavy me. This guy's been hitting so many down heavies that at this point, I'm just scarred. All right. I think we can combo. There it is. All right. You want to guard cancel against Yamcha. Not there, obviously, but there are a lot of times when you do want to try to get away with no wake up level three. I respect that, sir. Ooh. All right. Let's get down to the ground, though. And let's... Should we play keep away? Oh, yeah. We probably should have. Ah, yes. Hello. This should be good to go here. All right. Vegeta space dust him up. And we're good. KO. Wow, we take it. That was a great game. That was actually super fun. This guy's super saying blue, too. So this is definitely... He's definitely living legend quality. He'll be up here again. We'll see him again. Oh, man. Team Vegeta, though. I think we showed it off decently well. You can control the neutral pretty well with these guys. Obviously, Vegeta blue assist could probably be benched, but you need them for the theme of the video. But yeah, guys, if you have a favorite moment, let me know down below in the comments.

Right you guys I've kind of been thinking about this photo. We're gonna part three a relentless girl. It's gonna be good Hold on. Let me take a bite of my pizza. I made some pizza. Look at this Hold on. I'm hungry You're you can cook all right y'all thought about it. I don't know if I have enough content To push out ten minutes But we're gonna make it do okay So Mina is surprised again, just to let y'all know her real name is Jasmine But they Nick, you know, you know black people we got nicknamed so they call her Mina. So anyway Mina just got home from a night out on the town with her good friend Courtney while she was there mr Paul just so happened to be there and he bought her a drink and that's when Courtney was like, ooh sis I like mr. Salt and pepper over there You know Paul has aged gracefully he's one of those man that gets better with time going with his looks Get better as he gets older. So he's pushing 50 now Anyway, Mina arrived home to find that her husband Quentin has returned early from his business trip to surprise her for her 30th birthday party They embrace in a hug while they are making out girl She gets a phone call so she you know answers her call her cell phone and it is her One of her co-workers letting her know that the house is ready for her to show Paul the next day And so she just you know make a small talk with Quentin and he's like well, why is she calling you so late? She's like, oh, she just you know confirming that this estate is ready for me to show my client in the morning She's like, you know, it's I got someone coming all the way from LA looking at houses I just find that kind of out of all places. He chooses a small little town You know out in Georgia and that's where and Quentin said, you know, well, maybe you know some people want to change your scenery She said yeah, but apparently he was a bit shocked director in the 80s and that's when Quentin turned around curious and he's like what's his name again and She said Paul I believe a Paul went throughout and Quentin looked at her kind of quiet. I said, hmm That's interesting. And so she's like, yeah, isn't that odd? He's like, yeah, that is odd.  He says so I'm sure so Mina's getting you know Zaire together her little chocolate dip getting the baby together to drop her off over her grandmother's house and Mina really wants to put Zaire in Childcare not just so she could have Interaction of other children but to give her grandmother a break her grandmother is 82 years old, you know And she's at this point. She doesn't need to be caring for her child So anyway, she's getting Zaire together to drop her off. She jumps into the car and She cranks her car and she noticed that her car isn't cranking and she's like you have got to be kidding me I just got a new battery. What is wrong? So she keeps calling keeps keeps trying keeps trying. It's not cranking up The baby's in the back and she's it was wrong mama. She's like just a second Zaire does something wrong with the car So she calls her grandmother and tell her that you know, it's gonna be a couple of minutes Soon till she could figure out what's going on That's when she calls Paul and says look Paul, you know, there's something wrong with my car I will have to reschedule and he's like, you know what? That's okay I can come in and pick you up and that's what meaning was like. Are you sure? He's like, yeah, I'll come pick you up It's not a problem So Mina goes ahead and makes arrangements to have Her neighbor to drop Bob Zaire at her grandmother's house and she stays there and waits for Paul to come and pick her up Right. So let's cut to Quinton Quinton gets in his car and he picks up his cell phone And he's dialing a number. We have no idea who he's talking to and so he's like, yeah I need for you to meet me at the corner of 35th Shade girl. I don't know that's even that's here in Phoenix. Well, whatever I need you to meet me at the corner of 35th and shade about 10 minutes. You need to be there So Quinton shows up and he's walking around the parking lot and that's when he hears a voice behind him says hey What's up, baby Q? Turns around and there is Paul. Yeah, I'm so excited. I'm sorry Child there is Paul Looking at him walking towards Quinton and Quinton's looking at he's like, what are you doing here? And that's when Paul is like, is this any way to talk to your older brother. So child they are Sybil is not gonna give you all the tea behind what really is going on though about that So Quinton's looking upset.  So what happened?  So y'all the background is is that Quinton was adopted? Okay, he was adopted to this family, but when he found out what was going on as a teenager he left Paul the reason why they have different last names is that the entire town they grew up and found out about the relationship between Paul and his mother and Quinton was done. He didn't want he didn't want to have anything to do with that So he went through an entire process as he got older to change his name change his identity Every now and then he would talk to Paul just to say hi, whatever But he really cut off any type of relationships with that side of his family. So that is the background there So Quinton is upset. He's like, you supposed to always call me when you come in town or whatever So what are you doing here? So so Paul is like, well, I was coming to see if you can give me back that money I loaned you and Quinton's looking at and he's like man, what are you talking about the money I loaned you? That was an investment that you squandered. So that wasn't alone and Quinton is like and what is this? I'm hearing about you looking at Estates and looking at houses here. It's so Paul is like, well, you know, I sold my house back in LA And so I'm thinking about you know, I'm moving out this way. He's like man, you've got to be kidding me I'm on my way out of town But we need to meet up and discuss this in detail when I return so Paul is like smiling mischievously He said, why don't you tell me you got married, baby Q? That's when Quinton turned around. He's like, you know what you need to stay away from my wife He's like, I just won't let it show me some places. What's the harm in that? He said you she could show you the places but after that, I'm gonna try to come up with some money I know that's all you want is some money. So I'm gonna give you the money and after that You need to bounce you need to leave town Paul has this smug smile on his face the entire time y'all because he's loving this You know, he's narcissistic So he really so he knew what where Quinton was all this time. He knew that Quinton ain't gotten married He knew that Mina was a real estate agent. He had this all planned out, right?  He doesn't need to be he does not need to be standing around Quinton does not want him there, you know, so anyway Paul jumps into his little car and he heads out now Quinton doesn't know this honey He heads out to go pick up Mina because again her car has broken down and Mina is leaning up against her car on the phone with a Her insurance company to see if they can tow her car to a dealership or whatever so they can get a look at it So Paul stops and he gets out the car.  You see did you know what's wrong with she's like, I have no idea We just had the battery switched out a couple of weeks ago And so I don't know why I know why it's not working, but thank you so much for picking me up He's like not a problem. He's excuse me He leans over the glove department and gets something so his hand kind of brushes Mina's knees and she kind of gets flustered. He's excuse me part of me So anyway, she's like, oh no, it's okay. So she kind of moves, you know Adjusts her stuff in a seat So he grabs on some type of paperwork and he puts it in the back seat So me they thought that was kind of alright So they take off to this other estate that Paul wanted to look at and now this particular house is more so in town As opposed to the other one that they saw the previous day, right? So they go through the house and Mina can tell that he's really not that interested So she turns around she's like, you know what? I can't tell just based on your your body language that you're really not feeling this house So or you wanting to view any of the other houses that we have on the list or are you okay with the first one? So Paul looks at her and kind of smiles and says, oh, you're good Nina I'm sorry Mina takes that as a compliment. So all the way back to the car Paul is like, okay So, you know what? Um, I don't know if you have anything planned later on today But perhaps, you know, are you hungry?  She's kind of shocked by that because she knows that she knows she's married. And so Paul Again child Paul already knows that what she's thinking. So he's like, look, this is just strictly platonic We're just going out to have something to eat. I respect you.  I'm not trying to go there with you, you know Maybe this could be an opportunity for us to discuss some other Some other houses or or state properties that you have here and so Mina kind of looked at me She thought about it. She's like, yeah, I'm actually I'm kind of hungry They decide to stop by a local Excuse me and look at diner to have I guess you would call it lunch It's still a morning time, but they decide to stop by a local diner to have some lunch So on the way there Mina is feeling a little unsure. She's like, why am I double guessing this? This is just a business lunch, basically. Um, we're just gonna, you know, discuss some other properties.   What would you recommend? And so Mina's looking at the menu now mind y'all She still hasn't dropped those 20 pounds that she gained with Zaire and girls been four years now She ain't gonna lose that way so Mina's looking at the menu and She's like, well, I would recommend the chicken fried steak, but Considering I'm really trying to watch what I eat and that's when Paul puts a menu down. He's like, what do you say it?  And so Mina looks at him and she kind of blushes y'all. She's like, oh She's like, I understand what you're saying. Thank you, but I Could stand to lose 20 pounds and so Paul looks at her and said, okay Well, if you want to eat a little rabbit salad and watch me eat this chicken fried steak Then that's on you. So Mina looks at him and starts smiling. She's like, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and get the chicken fried steak. And so they start laughing over there, right y'all? So they're having friendly conversation in this entire time Nothing about the different estates or excuse me the different properties that Paul was interested in They're just talking and talking and Mina finds herself She hasn't had a conversation like this with another another man. Excuse me in a very long time and So, you know their their food arrives they eat Paul notices that she looks down on her watch and he's like, I'm so sorry I probably have kept you a way way too long and so Mina's like, no, it's okay But yeah, I do got to get back to the office. I really do.  So y'all a couple of days a couple of days go by And Mina arrives at work and she noticed Child Paul ain't shit. She noticed that there are Roses sitting on her desk and so now she's thinking oh my god Quentin is too much Not only did he surprise her for her birthday by coming in but now he's giving her some roses So she heads over to her desk. She Picks up the card like girl these are the pretendies of roses. This is the card She picks up the card and she's saying and then she can hear her coworker behind her She's like, you have the sweetest husband. She's like, he is so sweet. She opens it up child The flowers are for Paul not from Quentin. Thank you for a lovely lunch. Um, I hope to see you again soon And so Mina closes it real quick. It's a co-worker behind her says, ah You don't want to share what your hubby said you and so Mina took the wrong. She's like, oh, no It's it's same old same old, you know, wishing me a happy birthday and telling me how much he loves me And so Mina turns back around.  That's it And he immediately responds you guys. He's basically like You're very welcome. I can't wait to meet with you again That's it and Mina looks down at it and you guys Mina starts She starts feeling a little flustered. She's like, I cannot be feeling this way over another man Like what is wrong with me? She's like, okay, you know what? I need to view this strictly as business Okay, stop it, you know, I can't be thinking like this. I can't be my mind can't be going there I need to you know, this needs to be strictly business the next time we talk Just keep a strictly business. Don't want to eat don't even accept any flowers or anything like that So that's what she has in her. That's what she's telling herself. Yeah, she's coaching herself into that, right? Couple of days later Mina ends up meeting him again and they go back to the other estate, right? The first one that was like five bedrooms three and a half ass And so her car is fixed to find out if there was something wrong with a knob on the batteries So girl, she was able to drive down there He didn't need to come up and pick her up this time. So they meet up at the house and So she's like, so What do you think? I think that this is gonna be it for you. Hey, so he's like, yeah, you got me figured out She's okay. So what you could do is come by later on and we can figure out the paperwork Are you okay with that? He's like, oh, why can't we do this, you know fairly soon I really want to go ahead and get the paperwork out the way at the way If you're not doing anything tonight, I was gonna be heading down to that lounge, you know that I saw you at it on your birthday Maybe you could bring the paperwork there dinner strictly dinner and we can go ahead and get this, you know Still there's still basically and so Mina's looking at him And so and he notices that she's hesitant.  She has actually sold In a couple of weeks she got so she really wants to go ahead and you know get this done, too So she's like, okay. She's like, no, no, no, that's that's fine I was just hesitating just trying to figure out what I have going on later on girl She ain't got a dang on thing going on So she's like, okay, that's fine So he's like, okay, I can stop by and pick you up if you want.
