So again really excited to be here live at the one cause conference. I'm going to invite up with me. Emily Newberry is here with me. Welcome. Hi it's so nice to be here. Thanks for having me. I am thrilled you're here. Tell us a little bit about yourself Emily for those viewers and listeners that might be watching and listening but say I don't think I've met Emily yet. So tell us a little bit about yourself and a little bit about the conference. Well I'm a previous fundraiser so I started my career in fundraising and then landed at one cause 12 years ago. So I've been with the organization for a long time in many different roles but my current one is Vice President of National Accounts. So I get to work with a lot of national organizations and really make sure that there is alignment between their fundraising strategy and what we're trying to do with our SaaS products. Oh that sounds like a lot of fun. So this conference this is not the first year so tell us about a little bit about the history of the of the race conference. So we started this is its seventh year and it has grown exponentially. It's actually wild to see all of these people here. It's just grown so much. It started as 125 person conference in Washington DC in 2017 and every year has grown so much and I think that's because the reputation that we have in our space just as thought leaders in general and just the amazing experience people have here and the I think the motivation they leave with after being at our sessions here. Well the energy is vibrant. It's a lot of fun and how many attendees are here with us today. There are just under 600 people here with us today. So when I say it grows it grows every single year. I mean seven years ago so eight years ago this was a this was an idea. Our marketing team has grown this into something so wild and so fantastic and so yeah we're at 500 and over 550 attendees today. That is fantastic. There's a lot of innovation. I feel like there's a lot of innovation in our sector but we're seeing it here at the conference. So what are you seeing by way of innovation from our speakers from our vendors from your sponsors. What are you seeing out here? Well I think that starts with the nonprofits the fundraisers because they lean into technology now they lean into innovation and I think that we don't give I mean I I still think of myself as a fundraiser even though I've been out of that direct space but I am and I think that we don't give ourselves enough credit and we actually are leading into that and we are expecting more of the people around us in the space and so those vendors and those software providers and just the people in the industry are starting to bring it to meet the needs of fundraisers and then by an extension of that they're donors so it's really interesting to see. I love that you still consider yourself a fundraiser. I yes I think once a fundraiser always a fundraiser really looking at it from a space of how can we be of service to our community. There is a lot going on and I remember and you guys are always there at AFP icon and I feel like that was the first time Emily a couple years ago that I really realized how technology focused our sector has become. Can you speak to to any point really of how technology has played an impactful role in our sector. Yeah I think I mean it was always like that right but I I had the same experience about that two three four years ago and I think that that's a post COVID thing too it's that we started to expect of our nonprofit experience the same way we do of our normal consumer experiences right so you think about the big companies that are serving up these experiences the way we bring that to nonprofits should be no different and so that's really what we're seeing is we're seeing like say hey we understand what technology is we understand that our donors know how to use it and so the expectation is there the bar has been risen and so now all of us are trying to meet that but we're seeing that in the different tools that we use in in making sure that organizations are efficient in some of their like everyday administrative tasks we're seeing that in obviously fundraising software and some of the things that one cause is bringing to the table but we're seeing I mean just AI AI is a huge topic here at raise let me tell you so we are starting to see all of that in so many different ways but it's because the fund the donor expectation has risen so much and I think that's a COVID thing because we all had to use technology very differently during COVID yeah I agree it's really up leveled how we serve and how how we can be smarter in the tools and technology that we have I love that you mentioned AI yesterday I had the great pleasure of meeting with Sean Olds from Bootle AI he will actually be on the show tomorrow so excited to have him on tomorrow to talk about yeah he does have great stuff hear him talk about what's going on in the generative AI space but there is so much really happening I would love it because I I know this conference is going to continue but what are we looking forward to as we celebrate you know this year's success what can we start looking for next year because Emily my thought is there's viewers and listeners that aren't part of the 550 people here and we'd love to have them next year well one we need to get you here because it's sad that you're not here you should all be here I think what you can expect is another awesome venue and another awesome city first and foremost because I will say well the content at raise it's really great it is fun yeah it is just a fun and very like relaxed and a very easy way to engage with people and I will say that we are going to lean into this idea of community so we have a lot of sessions and there's a lot of great content that you'll walk away from but we really do focus on making sure that we give people time in space to engage with one another to have downtime to have really real conversations and to you know build that community of fundraisers that we all want so you know you mentioned fun and I just have to show help me grab some of these here because there's some fun labels just show them to the camera there's some fun labels well first time attendee so a lot of those actually and so maybe one of you will be a first time attack actually I'm a first time attendee can you believe that that's why so much and I need to put it on and I'm just laughing okay oh repeat I know the fun ones here we go hot hot chicken and honky tonk we got a lot live live play and dance I don't know something but a lot of fun like we really do foster a really fun environment here and I think that more than anything is what you will expect well Emily thank you it's been fantastic and excited to be here I'll share to this morning yeah this morning speaking of this live laugh and line dance we started this morning with line dancing because tonight there's a party and I have a sneaky suspicion line dancing is part of it yeah bring your boots Emily thank you it's been so great yeah well Emily Newberry with one cause so excited to have her join us today I mentioned we have three amazing individuals joining me so I want to invite up with me today we have Barbara O'Reilly so welcome thank you it's great to be here yeah excited to have you with us tell us a little bit about yourself because we have the opportunity to meet last night in person or as Julia Patrick my co-host likes to say I RL but you are with Windmill Hill Consulting is that right that's right yeah that's the consultancy that I found it 14 years ago we're about the same timeframe because I started my company also 14 years ago and you're tell me what part of the country you're in and a little bit about the work you do in our sector so I'm based in the DC metro area I live in northern Virginia and I founded the company 14 years ago having been a career fundraiser in house in large organizations and I decided that I wanted when my daughter was born to become a consultant I in truth when I was younger as a baby fundraiser I always thought in the back of my mind I'd want to be a consultant at some point and so I decided that that was the moment to be able to go out and launch my own firm and I've had the great honor not only to work in house with incredible organizations but to partner alongside so many valuable nonprofits who are doing impactful work around the country in our communities and around the world I love that origin story and I just have to share at the conference and I'm sure you know her Mallory Erickson is also here very pregnant and very impactful and so just had her on the main stage sharing so loving that you're doing this you you saw the vision of this for for your life and for your family what are you seeing here at the conference I know or I feel like it's still early this morning but there's still a lot going on so what are you seeing that's really you know showing up big for you here well first of all this is one of the conferences that I love to come to it's it's absolutely on my priority list every year I love attending I love presenting and what I'm seeing certainly the the sessions that will be we're leading I'm monitoring a panel this afternoon where we're going to talk about old school new school fundraising and you know what are we seeing in terms of how we balance with what we call relationship fundraising with all of this new digital landscape that we're living in and I think that there's pros and cons to both sides and how we can integrate and there's a lot of fear frankly from a lot of nonprofits a lot of stretched bandwidths who think it's not possible and we're going to be in one or the other more likely the ones so I so we're really going to break down those myths and tackle this head on I'm also seeing a lot of data that's being brought into this I know you're a nonprofit nerd and I love data as well and I'm always thinking about what can we learn from studies from the research from the trends that are happening sector-wide so that we can bring them bring the things that are actionable for our nonprofits to our organizations to become scalable and sustainable over time there's so much in what you just said right and really looking at the new dare I say old right like really looking at what that looks like so you're right you're moderating a panel and I believe Sean Olds is on that panel and some other amazing guests but tell us a little bit about what's going to be talked there I know you touched on it right and then you're speaking in another session too or maybe already did that but tell me a little bit about both of those if you can because again our viewers and listeners across the globe our goal here right is to bring it to you we can't bring all of it but give us a little you know snapshot further if you can into these sessions yeah of course so at 130 I'm going to be presenting four ways to rock your year in fundraising that's a fun title cute so it's you know because this is the place to do it right there's fun Emily was just talking about how much fun they bring into this conference so that's one that I'm really excited to present about you know here we are in mid-September and nonprofits hopefully have got their year in plans in place but hopefully right that's that's a big hopefully it's not too late if you don't so no shaming at all but you know right now we have to be thinking about you know 30% of all contributions are made in the month of December and so how do we prepare in the 11 months leading up to it so that we don't feel like we're overstretching and working even harder than we already do but how do we work more strategically and effectively for those for those bigger and better results so that's what we cover at 130 then at four o'clock I'm going to be moderating this panel of incredible thought leaders and we're going to really dig into what does it mean for to be old school right and I grew up I started right pre-internet is a baby fundraiser doing all of the old school things of in-person phone print and so we're going to break down what that means to be old school relationship based what does it mean for digital fundraising the new school and we're going to cover topics like AI and what does AI actually mean a lot of people think only chat GPT or GPT for but it's a lot of other things like generative AI I'm going to be tapping Sean on that and what he's up to at Boodle there you know we're already using AI and so many things now predictive modeling we do that our firm does that now with our clients where we can offer more strategic nuanced segmentation than just and again not slamming the last year but not yet this year kind of donor segments so we're going to touch upon that we're going to talk about what what is working and not working what are some things that we need to really speak against so you know oh there's always that myth about direct mail is dead or I don't have time to meet with my donors or to pick up the phone how can we change that model how can we flip that script so that nonprofits and fundraisers see the value of building their donor relationships adding to them the digital communication channels again like there's so much happening here and those were just two sessions right and really looking into this Barbara thank you I want to I'm going to put you on the spot right and and today we're really just doing little 10 minute teaser sections but I'd love to get you on for a full episode of the nonprofit show oh wait wait say that for the I would love that Jared well thank you so much for joining me it's been a pleasure you know really looking at all of the thought leaders here with us today and I just I can't wait to have more conversations with them because that was just scratching the surface with Barbara windmill hill consulting out of DC but really talking about you know the new ways the old ways are so many opportunities so my next final guest for this morning I'm excited to bring up with me today she is back by popular demand hi Lashonda hi Jared it's so fabulous to be here so Lashonda as you know is with fundraising academy Lashonda Williams fundraising academy at National University has been a wonderful supporter of the nonprofit show tell us what you're doing here at the conference Lashonda so very excited to be here to be part of the panel with Barbara so we'll be talking about old school versus new school and ways to integrate technology in a way that's meaningful and creating some dynamic donor experiences but in addition to that joining my good friend here today Jared so we can talk a little bit about nonprofit show as well as the fundraising academy and some of the fantastic programming that we offer and possibly tease you all about some upcoming things to look forward to with the fundraising academy absolutely now again I'm going to put you on the spot I shared that this is my let's see it's in here the first time attendee badge which I do absolutely need to put on my lanyard that says I'm a first time attendee would you first time or repeat I would pick first time and I will say that the first time is definitely leaving a phenomenally lasting impression we got a wonderful start last night had an opportunity to meet with some of our colleagues in the space and then also meeting some of the attendees and being an attendee today I'm definitely amplified and excited about the program and it's here I just saw Jared's show session she was on the main stage and when I tell you all if you're not here you have absolutely positively missed a treat on rents repeat and recycle tools that you can use social media guru that is you well thank you LaShonda she was a wonderful supporter there with me and you're right there's just a lot of information to take away but talk to us about the energy here because we really are getting I mean there's six floors right six floors so talk talk to our viewers and listeners a little bit about what you're seeing the energy the vendors you know from an attendee perspective so from attendees perspective first and foremost this space is phenomenal being a part of country music history in the building Dolly Parton Garth Brooks and all of the greats I feel nothing but amplified everyone here is very excited each floor offers a variety of different training the attendees here today are very excited they're eager to learn more most importantly it's a great space for us to create our own COPs beyond this space today industry professionals everything from event experts to actually development directors executives all under one roof everyone is amplified and earlier today in our opening session we were asked to repeat a word and the word was love and the energy was filled in the main hall with lots of love you're so good at sharing what's going on and you've joined me here for the non-profit show live from several conferences now we did AFP icon together we've done cultivate fundraising academy cannot wait to hear more about that in May because what I'm seeing here at the raise conference is definitely attendees are back I mean you heard Emily Newberry say just shot by a 600 people with us today but are you seeing and feeling that the event attendees will continue to rise as we look for more opportunities to build I think both donors as well as all of us in this philanthropic space are looking for that opportunity to engage in real time we are definitely on the upward trajectory as it relates to in person events everyone is also thinking of ways to continue to creatively engage those for a hybrid option but we are definitely going to see a consistent increase in in person events as everyone is excited to cultivate relationships knowledge and impact yeah absolutely there it's so exciting to see because even at the hotel Lashonda there are so many people staying at the hotel enjoying even that walk to the conference center having that camaraderie meeting for coffee meeting for cocktails really using this opportunity to connect and and again it's always exciting when we see each other IRL and this is for so many industry leaders you know even here today as I look at the room and we look around there are so many industry leaders in our community representing who they are and what they do what is the big thing you're looking to take away from this conference because you're at fundraise academy but you also work for a higher education and so for me I am here for two folds you know the double dip that is me so here we have a variety of vendors that offer a plethora of services to help us become more effective in everything that we do as far as strategy contacts engaging donors and then most importantly maintaining a database and can help us with creating database decision-making which we know proves to deliver results and you mentioned that today during your session the importance of taking your time to look at the analytics so I'm looking to not only secure information about event planning and fundraising strategy but most importantly some of the dynamic tools that are available to us to help us connect more effectively and efficiently as we're developing meaningful donor relationships so everything is under one roof and this is definitely the one-stop shop tour so if you missed it this year you might want to go ahead and sign up for next year because we sold out and we will definitely be selling up and selling out again next year I'm sure. You should get commission for this LaShonda you're so good at that and you're right I mean there's just I can't repeat it enough there's so much going on here I saw you in my session taking plenty of notes how does it feel as a participant at a conference no because I said this you know in my presentation you're here at an event your emails are piling up your phone calls and voicemails are probably piling up but you're getting so many great opportunities to take notes and hopefully implement when you get back how does that feel it feels surreal because yes the the anxiety is a little bit high with some of the emails and I'm checking my phone I'm being very active on the app for the conference so I'm taking pictures I'm uploading photos I'm multitasking at its finest but most importantly I'm taking the time to really just enjoy the moment and that means allowing myself to show up and be able to be an active participant in all aspects of everything that's happening today and so I will say that this the best way to describe the way I feel in this moment is immense gratitude gratitude to have the opportunity to engage with other fundraising professionals experts in the industry who are equally excited and amplified about making a difference for their cause so overall I would say in this moment again amplified gratitude gratitude is a good one you know and as I stand here and realize there's a lot of individuals that have also used this conference as an opportunity to get away with their family and their loved ones and so ourselves included we have loved ones with us not here on studio but they're here and I've heard from so many other event attendees they've really used the the prior weekend to bring their friends and family in you go to get around Nashville a little bit so what are some of the sights and scenes because as again viewers and listeners you're thinking about I want to talk to my supervisor or I want to build this into my budget to attend conferences going forward but to how might we consider tailoring this to really see the local community and maybe even capitalize on bringing a loved one with us you know work-life balance is very very important and COVID taught us that you know everyone should have a part of their daily routine where they create that moment where they can just have oneness with themselves but when we're talking about creating caring communities it's important to foster that as well in the workplace and we've managed to kind of curate that in our own special ways and it's really important and so while I was here you know I got off the air airline and I hit the ground running I brought my mom with me I'm super excited to share Nashville with her we had a chance to tour this particular area we went down so was it 6th street where all the action happens and we were able to see everyone in rare form on Broadway yes I love that you said rare form on Broadway I had a chance to get a little culture in attended the African American country African American Museum of Music yesterday had a gospel choir concert and Lashonda I'm going to interrupt you you also became a member yesterday I literally purchased a dual membership yesterday and we often talk about ways to not only cultivate but also to engage donors well that was a phenomenal cultivation tool I was at Hattie and I heard the music and I was like it drew me into the space literally because they had the sound amplified in addition to that we also walked around the area just seeing some of the wonderful sites went by one of the museums and saw that one of the performance halls the symphony common is coming to Nashville in October so I'm really trying to figure out a way to make that happen can we get a conference can we get a conference in October another conference here we need another conference here so work life is about work life balance is really important we work very hard as fundraising professionals but most importantly we care a lot and we must love equally as harder as we share this morning with the first word being love and so with that I'm loving everything about today's conference tomorrow is going to be even more spectacular if that is such a thing line dancing tonight and then getting up in the morning work hard play hard but most importantly we're doing it on behalf of our organizations making sure that we kind of read up and get ready and we finish strong this final quarter because end of the year is coming so this is the time for us to capitalize off of all things to amplify and raise the bar as we are garnering philanthropic support for our organizations you know sometimes when I have Lashonda on I just want to like give her the microphone because she could take over the entire conversation I love that you mentioned like re-energize you're coming up on Q4 and so what we're learning here is really big and this is day one so day two tomorrow uh you know we'll we'll wrap up the conference but we'll be live again uh here at the non-profit show so Lashonda thank you I'm gonna ask you to stay with me as I wrap up the show you know how this goes but it's really it's been a lot of fun we've got some really good stuff happening with us today so again if you missed any of our conversation today I had Emily Newberry with one cause Barbara O'Reilly with Windmill Hill Consulting and she's part of the um the conversation you're having right very excited to share a conversation with Barbara she will definitely be leading the charge as we talk about old school new school one of the many sessions as we close out today and we will close out today strong literally with lots of great tips as we're incorporating AI into our fundraising strategies making sure that we're segmenting properly that's really important and then of course Lashonda Williams so three powerhouses starting off today in Nashville again if you missed any of today's conversation you want to go back and listen you can find us on the app you can find us on streaming uh broadcast as well as podcast platforms uh want to thank Reyes for having us here you know this is their first broadcast

join us thank you to Julia Patrick we miss her we'd love to see her here that's right and of course I'm Jarrett Ransom your non-profit nerd and CEO of the Raven group we always want to give more gratitude to our partners because without them we wouldn't be able to be here so thank you again to Bloomerang in fact did you see Josh Myers he just snapped a photo of us so Bloomerang is here thank

What's going on guys, it's your boy DPJ here today with another Overwatch video, now Overwatch and what we played from the beta was truly amazing and if you guys want it I will post Overwatch upon release on May 24th here on my channel, I really enjoyed the beta and believe content from the game will be something I'd really enjoy covering so if you guys want more Overwatch do smash that like button, also if you are new here to this channel and Overwatch is what you want to see, do hit that subscribe button as I've got you covered. Now until the release of Overwatch I have a few videos planned, these videos will consist of gameplays with certain characters which I will give you guys my review and opinion on them giving you guys also a little information into the characters themselves as well. And we'll start off the series with Zenyatta, but before we go through this characters back story we need to first understand the plot behind the Overwatch universe. So Overwatch is set in the near future Earth, years after the resolution of the global scale Omnic Crisis the crisis put humanity under threat of the Omnic Artificial Intelligence, this led to the uprising of robots all around the world and a massive conflict on a global scale to end this conflict an international task force called Overwatch was formed by the United Nations to protect humanity ending the crisis. In the years after Overwatch remained as a peacekeeping force but after multiple incidents of criminal activity popped up around the globe, accusations of corruption and sedition began to surface, the people turned against those who saved them, once regarded as heroes members of Overwatch were then looked down upon with suspicion, then one day the headquarters of Overwatch was suddenly destroyed apparently by accident, officially the attack took the life of Overwatch leader Jack Morrison and second in command Gabriel Reyes, after this event the task force was eventually disbanded, it is believed by some that the cause of the downfall of Overwatch was due to actually an elaborate conspiracy by those who wanted to see an end to the organisation although nothing has been confirmed by the UN and that is basically the plot behind Overwatch, so what or who is Zenyatta, well Zenyatta is an omnic monk who wonders the world in search of spiritual enlightenment, it is said that those who cross his path are never the same again, years ago following the Omnic crisis a group of outcast omnic robots experienced what they described as a spiritual awakening, they abandoned their pre-programmed lives to establish a human or monastery deep in the Himalayas, after many years of meditation under nature of existence they came to believe that they were more than artificial intelligence and that like humans they possessed the essence of a soul, recognising the spiritual equality they held with humans, the monks led by the enigmatic robot known as Tekhafa Mondatta, sought to heal the wounds caused by the Omnic crisis a generation earlier and being humans and robots back into societal harmony, their message was embraced by millions around the world and they became global celebrities but one monk Zenyatta disagreed with the new direction, he believed that the way to repair the problems between humans and omnics was not through dogmatic teaching but through interpersonal connection and engagement, ultimately Zenyatta followed his own path, he chose to leave the monastery and wonder the world helping those he meets to overcome their personal struggles and find inner peace, but when necessary he will fight to protect the innocent, be they omnic or human, so that's what we know about the backstory of Zenyatta, but what does he like to play with in-game, while in the game each character has a difficulty rating, 1 stars up to 3 stars, 3 stars being the most difficult, Zenyatta has a rated 3 stars so he is classed as difficult to use, now when I first got into this game I did try out many characters, kinda switching between them within every life and I clearly remember selecting this dude and not having a clue what I was doing, I died and didn't use him again, it was as simple as that, well not until I learned more about him and when I did I got to understand his style of play and the one required to be successful with him, I started using him and actually started to really really enjoy him and do well, now he is a support character if you did not know and in my opinion he is the best of the bunch, so what abilities does he have, ok so first up we have the orb of destruction, Zenyatta projects his destructive energy orbs either individually or in a rapid fire volley after a few seconds of gathering power, so with the right trigger he shoots one orb and with the left trigger he charges up to five orbs to fire in a volley, the left bumpers ability is called orb of harmony which heals 30 HP per second basically when near your teammates you cast an orb which slowly restores their health as long as you stay alive though, only one orb can be cast at a time, the right bumpers ability is called orb of discard, here you attach orb to your enemy which amplifies all damage they receive by 50% but only one opponent can suffer at a single time, Zenyatta's ultimate ability is called transcendence, once activated by pressing y, Zenyatta enters a state of heightened existence for a short time only though, while transcendence Zenyatta cannot use other abilities or weapons but is immune to all incoming damage and automatically restores his health and that of nearby allies, it heals 100 HP per second both yourself and nearby allies so they are basically the abilities Zenyatta possesses, for me at the plane almost 20 hours on the beta Zenyatta was truly one of my most favorite characters and he was definitely probably the highlight of the beta for me, Overwatch truly does have a character for every single play style and even more mixing things up unlike anything I've played or experienced in any other game is a game I cannot wait for but how about you are you excited for Overwatch let me know down below in that comment section, after the gameplay is done in the background I will showcase all of Zenyatta's costumes so enjoy that also, now me personally I am a type of player who enjoys the most part of sitting back most of the time picking enemies up from a distance hence why I do love sniping in any game, I feel the same kind of playstyle is required to be used with Zenyatta, sticking by other teammates being ready to back off while healing teammates and dropping them orbs on enemies helping your teams get them kills, Zenyatta ain't in my opinion the type of character you'll see get the most kills in their game but would damn sure make up for it via assist and healing, Zenyatta was easily one of my favorite characters from the beta and I cannot wait to get a hand on with the full games release but guys that is the end of the video if you guys enjoyed it and want to see more do hit that like button your support truly does help out, hope you guys did enjoy the video thanks for stopping by as always and I will catch you on that next one peace out until next time, POST!


Jim Son is here with today's FanDuel Hurry Up, talking about some players whose stock rose across week number three in NFL DFS. The first one is Truba Hubbard, who stepped in for Christian McCaffrey and played really well and got the kind of touches we want for fantasy football. Hubbard had 10 carries, but more importantly, he had five targets. He also had five of the team's 11 red zone opportunities across the entire game. Hubbard played 38 sets compared to Royce Freeman's 11 after McCaffrey went down. So it seems like Hubbard is going to be very much the one in this offense while Christian McCaffrey is out. The Panthers go down to Dallas in week number four for what should be a pretty fun game. So Hubbard will be a prime target for DFS at $6,300. Stock is also up for Odell Beckham, but more importantly, our stock is up because we get to watch Odell Beckham play football once again. And Beckham looked like his old self in week number three. He had nine total targets and four of those were deep targets with 16 yards downfield. That did seem like Baker Mayfield was willing to trust Odell, let him go up try to win some footballs. In week number four, they are playing against the Vikings which should be a high profile game. And I was hesitant on Odell initially because I wasn't sure how he'd play coming off two additional weeks missed due to his torn ACL, but week three gave me a lot of confidence. So the stock is way up in Odell heading into a potential shootout in week number four. Number three for me in week number three was Michael Pittman of the Colts. And the Colts didn't play well overall, but Pittman himself got a lot of volume in this game. He had 12 targets for the second consecutive game. That pushes Pittman's season long target share up to 27% and he has 53% of the team's downfield work so far this year. Yes, right now this offensive line is banged up with Quentin Nelson being hurt, Carson Wentz is not fully healthy, so the offense looks disjointed for sure. But Pittman is getting the volume that we want in this offense and that can make up for a lot of ills for the overall context around him. So things may be slow for a bit for Pittman given the offense the struggles, but he's getting good volume which can erase that and things should get even better as this team gets healthier moving forward. Michael Pittman, a guy who has shown he can get good volume in this offense and things could get even better going forward as the Colts get healthier. So Michael Pittman stock is up entering week number four. That's all we got here for today on the Fandall Hurry Up. We will be back with you once again tomorrow to start taking a look at those waiver wires and getting you set for week number four at Fantasy Football.


Carl likes to throw to his running backs and tight ends a lot. How much do you guys have to be aware of that? Oh, no question. They got a lot of targets. Waller, I was with him in Baltimore. I mean, I know his talent. And the running backs are really good. Not only good runners, they're really all of them, good out of the backfield catching the ball. And they got speed at wide receiver. But probably more than any team we've faced all year, the tight end and the backs is probably the first time all year I think we face somebody that maybe those two groups were the leading receivers over the receiver. So we obviously, they're a concern. Back in Baltimore, he used to use, well, Waller, he was a receiver, but he would sometimes go to tight end for a scout team. What kind of stood out to you when watching him give you those looks? Big, fast, good hands. That's what he is.  He's got great hands, can run. He is fast. And you do not want to take him as any kind of just a lumbering tight end. He's far from that.  I think it was Georgia Tech, pretty sure. The only thing is at Georgia Tech, most of their wide receivers were neck rolls, because they didn't exactly throw the ball a whole lot. But that's why when we got him, we thought he'd probably going to end up being a tight end eventually, and which is exactly what he is. Is it interesting how he's drawn so much attention? You see linebackers going against him. You see safeties, corners. Is that unique, as you're seeing against him? Well, I just think he's just such a talented guy. There's guys that are, he's really, really also improved at his run blocking, because basically he really kind of was coming in originally into the league, I think, thinking as a receiver, big receiver. But I mean, he's a lot like Graham. I think a little bit kind of like him. Graham always wanted to get paid as a wide receiver, or even though he was a tight end, I think that's this guy. I mean, he can play both. They can flex him out, and he's just like having another receiver in the game.  What's your early impression before? Well, the first impression is, which I already kind of knew a little bit about him.  You don't always thought he was a really good defensive back and had good quickness, good coverage skills. And you know, the biggest thing is with him is just we'll find out what he, by the end of the week, what we really feel comfortable with, and what he feels comfortable with, and try to stay within that realm if we can. We'd like to do as much as we can. But we also, you know, we've talked about it before. You don't really want to put guys in positions where it's really hard for them. Been through it before, went through it basically one time at Baltimore. We took a guy and had to start him against the team he just came from. That's tough. Now, you kind of know they know a little bit about the guy.  He's in there studying hard, trying to get ready for the game. And we'll do as much as we can within what he can do.  Oh, I'd, well, you know, I'd rather say scheme. Make it sound good, but the truth of it is, scheme doesn't mean anything if the players can't do it. And it's always about the players. I mean, the players are guys that make the plays. Scheme might put them in position. You might get one once in a while that does. Generally, most sacks happen because of an offensive mistake or defensive guy's ability. And Jarrell has unique abilities. He has unique ability. He really does. Coach, what do you see from Jacob's own film? I guess, aside from the obvious, awful fast. He is, and that's it right there. He breaks a lot of tackles. I don't know. There was some stat somebody told me earlier in the week because I don't usually read most of those. I just, guys, tell me about him. But something about he's one of the top ball carriers in the league of run after contact. You know, that after the first contact, that he still gains a lot of yardage.  And I know there's a lot of names around the league that sometimes are bigger names and stuff like that. But I don't think there's any better back than him. On my last week, about the defense. On what now, again, Jen? Touchbacks when you can get touchbacks as opposed to, you know, teams maybe returning to the 30-30. Yeah, well, field position is always a big, big part of anything on defense.  We were good on one situation last week. We weren't as good on the other one. We ended up getting them stopped. But they gained a lot of yardage on that one series. But it's always big when you get them backed up there. And they aren't starting from anywhere around the 50-year inside, certainly.


So my beautiful people, I am back with another Outer Ring video and today guys, I'm going to showcase to you how you can get this incredible sword known as the Colded Sword. What? What? How's it going guys? My name is DPJ and if you do enjoy the video, leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more, be sure to subscribe. Okay, so this sword is actually quite straightforward to get in terms of the early to, well say medium player, in terms of getting into the game, it's not too difficult whatsoever. Now the sword itself, as you can see, look at that. Now that will take out some enemies at some range. If this is your kind of thing guys, it really is. I'll show you the stats in a quick second. Sounds quite cool as well. Listen to that. Okay, so the stats you'll see. So it's required 20 in faith to use this thing. And that is it. That is it. Now 20 in faith and all other people haven't gone into faith, depending on your build style. I've just recently gone into faith, but even so guys, even so, if this is your kind of thing, this is your kind of thing. So it's a straight sword. And like I said, it's relatively straightforward to get. Now I'll show you exactly to come to get this thing in a second, but upon the map, it is guys, located around. I think it's around here. It's around this area here. Now there's no major bosses you have to beat to get this. The only thing you need is the Dectus medallion. So that comes in two halves. If you surely have got up this area by now, if you haven't, search YouTube for the Dectus medallion guide. It's literally two halves. Now once you get to the ground lift, you'll come up guys and then you just follow this path here. Come all the way around here. When you get to here to be a guy on the horseback, it was quite easy to beat. Not too bad whatsoever. And then guys, you'll come into this area here, which I actually showcased you guys on screen now. So just follow the route I take on screen now guys.  And that is it people. And that is it. If you guys enjoyed the video, leave it a like, really helps. If you like what you see, I'm going to see more out of the ring. Be sure to subscribe and hopefully people, I will see you on that next one.


What a difference a year makes. The city chose this area of South Fort Worth for a $2.7 million revitalization. Here's a look at just some of what's been accomplished in the Ashcrescent neighborhood. New curbs and gutters installed on this well-traveled street improve drainage and walkability. Potholes and cracks are gone, replaced by smooth asphalt. Overgrown trees and brush that made some neighborhood streets nearly impassable are now clear. Throughout the neighborhood, crews cut back brush and trimmed trees away from power lines. 17 hazardous structures have been demolished or repaired, making way for new homes. And crews have removed more than 170 tons of trash and illegal dumps, making the neighborhood noticeably more attractive. We even held two special book collection days, so residents could clean up their own property, too. Neighbors say they appreciate the city's cleanup efforts in the neighborhood. I like the part where they cut the trees, they didn't clean up the alleyways, they mowed all the vacant lots. They're on point. Potholes is always right through the neighborhood. We do it, code enforcement is here every day. Investigations into serious code violations have led to citations, fines, and court orders to clean up. Police patrols and cameras have made sure illegal dumping doesn't return. The way they are here, I think the crime has gone down and all that, and I appreciate that. It all started with community meetings and a survey. Residents told us they needed better lighting to reduce vandalism. The city has replaced nearly 150 street lights with LED fixtures and is installing dozens of new lights to brighten areas that were dark before. Side walks will be completed in this block, making the walk to school easier for residents in nearby apartments. Neighborhood services helped families apply for funds to repair their homes. In all, 26 homes received major improvements, such as replacing dangerous gas heaters, adding air conditioning and covering lead paint. The improvements are helping build community kids. That to me is the main thing, you know, seeing the neighborhood come up. After a successful community carnival, neighbors enjoyed Black Panther Movie Night, compliments of best-made pickles, and other community partners. And free children's education activities continue in the neighborhood, provided by Area Churches and the Fort Worth Public Library. The city has done their part, but it's up to us to keep it up.

Hey everyone, welcome to today's update. Today is Thursday, June 11th. Why did the market crash today is the question? The answer? Because it was overextended. Now the media will have you believe that, you know, there's coronavirus cases, hospitalizations going up, but that's been happening for weeks. Like that's that's nothing specific to today. The media always has to find a reason, but the reason is the market was overextended. I was watching stuff that I think it may have been on tasty trade. They did a study showing the quickest rebound. So they went all the way back to 1929 and said anytime the market has fallen at least 35 percent, which has happened seven times since 1929 and obviously that just happened right here. We saw this big decline. That's over 35 percent. And so the study was how long did these plus 35 percent market drops? How long did they take to recover and the average was about one and a half years? Well, this had recovered in 80 percent recovery. So this had recovered 80 percent in 80 days. They could have been talking about the Nasdaq. I can't remember because the Nasdaq bounced back and it already came back and hit new all-time highs. Regardless, we're talking about the typical recovery period is about a year and a half for this type of loss to get recovered. And this time it happened in less than 80 days. 80 days. I mean here's the previous high of the Nasdaq and yesterday it hit a new high. I mean that that's just that's so fast. You know, we always talk about the market takes the stairs up, but the elevator down. Well, I mean this thing took the elevator down and the elevator up. You know, so I mean this thing is just overextended. I mean, we are seeing an absolute bloodbath in the markets today. I mean, if we look at just our overall stocks that we look at, there's two green stocks on here. One is Kroger grocery stores. I'm sure people are going to be restocking up on toilet paper after today. And the other is Zoom. I mean, how about Zoom? I mean, they just, wow, they've found themselves in quite the situation where they've been able to excel. But everything else is red. In fact, if we look at just, you know, the S&P 500, we've got there's 504 optionable stocks, 503 are declining. Okay. There's one COG is the only one that's basically flat on the day. All of them. I mean, that is an absolute bloodbath. That is what we talk about when, when things really start to go down, everything becomes correlated. Everything is red, right? And so that's what we're seeing today.  I mean, you know, we, we, we were long down here and we benefited from that, but then we started getting short. We got a little bit more short, a little bit more short. And we didn't get crazy by any means. We did, I think we played it extremely well. And now we're benefiting from that in an extreme way. So hopefully, hopefully you guys had some bunker trades on, hopefully you guys had some, you know, some other short delta plays on because it stays like this and what's going to come as an extension of this is why you need that short delta in place. So hopefully, hopefully that helps. The other thing I want to talk about, let me go back to the S&P. So last Friday, we had that surprise jobs report come out, right? And, and the, and the market just took off. It just, it just rallied. I think the S&P was up 80 or maybe even up to a hundred at some point, but I just remember thinking so. And it was, so it was this day right here, Friday the 5th, the jobs report came out, the surprising increase in employment, better unemployment, and the market took off. And I just, the only thing I could think of is, oh man, is this the thing? Is this this piece, is this the straw that breaks the camel's back?  Jobs are going to start increasing. That's what I needed. Everything is great. Let's go. And thinking that this market is just going to continue to rip and roar to new highs. And I just remember thinking all day, man, I would not be surprised if this thing just absolutely tanks here soon because this is just a lot of times you'll have that. You'll have something like that that's good, positive. Everybody gets sucked into the upside and then boom, it hits you with a hammer. Now that didn't happen. In fact, the next day, the market continued higher. And I thought, well, maybe this thing, maybe this thing does have some legs to the upside. And then what happened yesterday, the Fed, right, the Fed on Wednesday came out, had their meetings and they said, we are going to not raise rates. We're going to keep them at zero, at least through 2022. What else did they say? They talked about other stimulus and pumping more money into the system. And the market rallied and then ended up down on the day. And I had the same feeling again that, man, is this, is this the news? Is this the, is this the one that sucks all the longs in?  Wake up this morning, S&Ps down. Cool, Hyundai currently down 182. That was down over 1,800. NASDAQ down 475 or Russell down 100. Let me focus. This is a bloodbath. Now, does this mean it's absolutely going to continue lower? No, but do I think it is? Yeah. And I mean, I don't know if it's going to be as steep of a decline as this and with some little pullbacks, but, you know, I still think we're going to break below those lows. We just, we can't sustain the impact that this whole shutdown and everything else has had on the economy. So that's my thoughts for today. What did we do today in our portfolio? Well, we just continued to sit on our hands, let the short Delta plays work in our favor. We took off one of our weekly double calendars for a nice profit. We've got another one on that if I thought we were in pretty good shape and if price stays right here or even a little bit higher, we will book about 100 and some percent profit in just a few days on that trade. Now, if this thing drops another bar like we're seeing today, then we're not going to be so pretty, but hopefully we can still get out of with a profit, but I'm holding that one till tomorrow. Keeping our short Delta, we're rolling our, you know, some of our vertical spreads that we're short with and we're just going to continue to stay mechanical. Now, we have some iron ducks that this is now already in the duck head that we just put in, put on a couple of days later. So if this thing continues lower, we may have to get out of those and then reestablish. We're going to be able to reestablish with a break even way down here, a much bigger credit. So all good for not only our current positions, but also for the opportunity to put on new positions because this really just spikes implied volatility, spikes the cost of options. And we like to come in and sell them at that point. So hope that's helpful. Everybody have a great evening. Stay small, stay safe. And we'll talk to the pro members tomorrow about all of our alerts, all of our positions and the rest of you guys. I will catch you on Monday. See you.


Moving into the neighborhood revitalization activities what I'm going to do is kind of run through what we've been doing as it relates to the city's strategic plan and then talk a little bit about court enforcement. So we have identified an area of the community primarily what we would call the central city neighborhoods from roughly an area of North Avenue and then drew a line basically on 18th Street on the south side. So this red line you see on this map is the boundaries of our five-year plan as it relates to the city's strategic plan. In that plan we identified the neighborhoods that we're targeting so that the neighborhoods on here that are in gray represent the 2017 targeted neighborhoods and the ones that are in the red or pink represent the 2018 neighborhoods. So the 2018 neighborhoods were Erie Hill, Gateway, Sheridan Park and Swift. We wouldn't be able to do this without interdepartmental cooperation so we continue to have bimonthly meetings of the different departments to identify issues that are rising in neighborhoods. You can see the departments that have been in those meetings and involved with the discussions and we also invite the Lakeshore Department Association, the Landlord Association to those meetings to give us, we give them 15 minutes in the beginning to talk about any concerns they have. We can share with them things that we're working on so there's communication between the Landlord Association and the city. Next slide. So what we're doing as part of the strategic plan is developing baselines for the neighborhoods so not only are we sending code enforcement officers into those targeted neighborhoods, we're also doing a survey and walking parcel by parcel and ranking the condition of the properties. We've never done baseline mapping of neighborhoods before so we really don't have a lot of data to see how well we've done and how with neighborhoods have progressed over time. So in the targeted neighborhoods there's a criteria as it relates to the building condition, whether the property has maintenance issues, how the roof is, landscaping. So they rank all of those different pieces and then we map them in GIS which you can see here on the right side of the slide. We map them in GIS with the different issues and codes and stuff so that it's, we're developing baseline so we can go back in the future and see how neighborhoods are doing. So the plan is to circle back to the neighborhoods within the next five years or so and see where, what kind of progress has been made. Next slide. We are also, we've instituted some lighting so we hear a lot of complaints at neighborhood meetings about the darkness of our neighborhoods especially in the central city areas. So with the help of the police department and the third shift officers they have gone out both in 2017 and 2018 and mapped areas that are dark. So the darker the blue on this map, the darker the street is. So we then went and identified areas where either there's a, if there was no light present we worked with aligned energy to have lights installed in those areas and if there was lights present then we got them replaced or updated or whatever to identify those issues. So we last year spent about 37,000 of block grant dollars putting additional lights in the core central city neighborhoods. If you go to the next slide. So in 2018, 2019 I know this is hard to read but we went and mapped basically the rest of the, looked a survey then mapped the rest of the central city neighborhoods and the boundary that we're targeting. So our goal going forward is to continue to add additional lights in the entire strategic plan area so that we can address the concerns of safety at night and lights and those types of things. So next slide. We were successful in 2018 to neighborhoods became associations, the historic grant neighborhood and the Volrath North Point neighborhood association. And then here's a list of notable neighborhood achievements and events that have happened over the course of the year. Everything's from signage to historic walks. Cleanups is a big thing. Adopt a family for holidays, a neighborhood planning block parties, an aldermatic forum. And then you recently heard about the adopt a park pilot program. As it relates to the targeted neighborhoods, we then went back in and identified two really of the worst areas within the north and south side neighborhood and two rock the block events in partnership with Habitat for Humanity was held. So in the spring we did the Keeney court area and you can kind of see the work that was done and the outcome of that and then this past fall in October we did the south side south ninth street area and did a number of projects as well. So this was a way of trying to take those those the worst of the worst in that baseline mapping area and trying to bring some fresh new ideas. So that was a very successful partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Next slide. And then we're working with the neighborhood associations to develop so they all have projects and needs and thoughts and you know some of them want to conquer the neighborhood and you know it's to try to get these these people on the leaders of the neighborhoods on path to understanding what their long range goal is. We've developed what we're calling a plan on a page. So it's a one or two page plan that really identifies what the demographics of the neighborhood are, what the incomes of the neighborhood are, looks at their history and the vision and then it deals with any challenges and who's going to be responsible for. So this is the idea of the neighborhood taking responsibility on taking on those initiatives as well as if they've got initiatives that the city needs to deal with they can share those with us as well and we can work together to accomplish the goals of their neighborhood. So the goal is to have every neighborhood association that has an updated plan on a page if you will for their neighborhood to work on. Next slide. So looking into 2019, what are we hoping to accomplish? Basically a lot of the same but we're calling it a second wave of the lighting improvements. So we're going to work to get the rest of the lights installed in the central city neighborhoods continue to establish base lines for our four targeted neighborhood associations. There's an initiative with the Department of Public Works to hopefully develop a large item cleanup for neighborhood associations so we can deal with some of the larger trash that we deal with on a daily basis under nuisance and sanitation issues. Expansion of the adoptive park into other neighborhoods. The city has a neighborhood grant opportunity so we're going to we continue to help neighborhoods fund different activities within their neighborhood and then create two more neighborhood development plans. Under code enforcement so we have had two part-time code enforcement officers for the last three or four years and really I think where we're at is the fact that we've identified a we've taken care of a lot of the low hanging fruit. Now the stuff that's left is a little bit more challenging and takes a little bit more education to get people to comply. So we like to say that in extreme cases they're considered neighborhood killers because they really bring down the whole morale and the whole you know the whole neighborhood as a whole and the concern we have is if we don't address these issues that becomes the new standard for these neighborhoods and people don't call in and don't complain and they just kind of go on with their life and then that's the way it is. So as you know with all these other initiatives it doesn't only happen with the building inspection or planning department we have to work with partnership with the other departments and we greatly appreciate that. Next slide. So focusing efforts with neighbors and neighborhood associations has proven to be successful and we're at the point really now of spending a lot of time educating residents and property owners on the importance of keeping their properties up. So that's you know we may not our numbers may be lower than couple years ago but the ones you know now it's really about getting out there and making sure that this is sustaining itself so we don't have to continually be doing this. So that's kind of where we're at today. These are just some real quick examples of stuff we see. This was some property in January of 2018 so this is their porch in the front of their house. Next slide. This is hard to see but this is a roof that has hardly any rocks left on the shingles. You see these these are garages and garages is a challenge in alleys and you know areas that are densely planted so we've targeted garages. Parking on grass is another issue. City ordinance requires that cars would be parking on paved surfaces. These are just some examples of houses that are under construction or have received orders and that have complied with some new steps and handrails and guardrails and safety and all that kind of good stuff. So the process real briefly is we survey the neighborhood, receive a complaint, do a neighborhood walk by survey, a notice is sent. After the notice is sent there's a timeline to comply. If they fail to comply we issue citations and if they ultimately default on those citations it's in the hands of municipal court to handle and the city attorney's office to handle the prosecution piece of it. Our goal is not to be citing. Our goal is to get compliance but we do get a number of people that just do not respond to us and there's no other there's no other means of trying to get their attention but issuing a citation. The challenge with that is that the citations are 681 dollars per violation so it adds up quick. Next slide. This is this is small but what I would say is the red identifies the 2018 housing complaints that we've completed in this year and the blue is the 2018 nuisance so it's not one particular neighborhood although there's a stronger concentration in the areas of the neighborhoods we've targeted but it's pretty uniform across the entire city when you take this year's court orders and map them out in GIS to see where we've been so that's all I have I'm happy to answer any questions if not more to come as we move into 2019.


Oh, we're back at Nissan State. Oh, yeah. Wait for the boy to be signed to the game. That's how it feels. Diache! Forbid! To your Tennessee Titans, I'm Mike Keith welcoming you to the Mike Frable Show. Titans are nine and four after Sunday's 20-0 win over Jacksonville. The nothing-on-the-second part of it, the big part of the story. A shutout for the defense. Hard to do in the NFL. It is hard to do. And a lot of credit goes to the players and the coaching staff. It was a fantastic performance. Everybody that played, I felt like, understood the game plan. Played with a great speed and energy. They tackled really well. A lot of turnovers. All the good stuff that goes in with playing great defense. All right, Mike Frable's six-pack. All defense in this segment of the show. Let's jump right in. First defensive play. How about a little Danico Autry? That's it right there. You see the quarterback go and wanting to throw it. Rashawn Evans did a nice job of going in there and matching that spot route. Danico getting in there, making the inside move. React in and they called him down right there. I thought it would have been grounding. But anyways, it goes with the coverage helping to rush. That's a great way to start there as a first defensive play. All right, good to have Rashawn Evans back in the lineup. Led the Titans with six tackles. Here's his first to the game for lost yardage on James Robinson. Yeah, here a little misdirection. You know, you get the flasher coming across. And you know, Rashawn runs through, Harold sets the edge. Really nowhere for him to go. That's what we tell these guys, man, let's set the edge, build a wall. And if you can run through it, then run through it and go make a tackle. So that was a huge play there. Two plays later. How about a little more sacking of the quarterback? An avalanche of Titans coming from the inside, including Harold Landon. There were all kind of guys coming. And really liked the call here. Love the execution. Could have been a number of guys there to Nico, Jeff, Harold. So it was a well called well timed pressure. Call that meeting at the quarterback. That's it. Roll call at the ball. Roll call at the ball. Second quarter, third and eight situation for the Jacksonville Jaguars. They're on the move a little bit. They try to sneak Carlos, hide through. No, thank you. Well, third and eight right around plus territory midfield. You don't really expect to run here in a national football league, but you know, they try to slip one in. But there's Jeff knocking his guy back three yards with hands in his chest. Everybody else swarming. And you know, that's how you don't really think about them running the football right there. But you react to it. You play good defense. And Nico Sheds there makes tackle. Forced to punt. Moving to the third quarter. Jacksonville trying a little bit of a trick. Kevin Byrd is not biting. Yeah. A little trickeration here. Chanel back to Lawrence. And you know, just a great job by Kevin in the middle of field to see the entire field. See that a guy was free. Come make a legal hit. Great contact below the football. Didn't hit him in the head or neck. And was able to dislodge the football. And you know, just a really nice play, you know, just keep having a great year for us. Next play. How about the first of the takeaways all day? Rashad Evans with a gift. Yeah, we'll take it.  And you know, Rashad's able to get it. He's got to get going in the right direction and see if we can get some return yards. Got to turn it up more. That's it. He just got to get going in the right direction. There you go. He was headed south. We needed to be going north. Second interception of the season for Rashad Evans. When we come back, how about a second six pack of plays from the Titans defense in the shutout. Thus making it a 12 pack. We'll do it when the Mike Brayble show continues after this. It's another six pack of defensive plays from Sunday's shutout went over Jacksonville. It's time to start the run on takeaways. Let's keep an eye on Jay on Brownwright. A little bonus sixer. Here we go. We get a little pressure. Jay on gets blocked, pops out of there. We practiced it all week and looked so great on Wednesday. Started to look better at the end of the week and just well executed. That was another well-timed call and better executed. Good catch. Great catch going back. That's where you got to be. The guys are trying to get their hands up. Jay on gets out back into the throwing lane. It was well timed and well called and well executed. Speaking of good catches, Christian Fulton on this deep ball. This is the third interception of the ball game. Pass rush gets there and Fulton retreats. Yep, the old Hail Mary full grace. Quarterback going to his right, just lobbing it up there. Christian really had to battle that receiver for that ball. Thank goodness he came down with it. You said it on the post game though. That was a play the Titans were not making earlier in the year. Those are the ones that the Jets hit us on. That was really cool to see him be able to stay back there and go make a play on the football. Those are the ones that they hit for some big chunks earlier in the year. Let's take a look at another Christian Fulton play here. This is a pass break up, but really a pretty effort on his part. Mirroring the receiver. Staying square, not opening it up, not retreating, but standing his ground and then being able to disrupt the route, the timing and obviously stab through the pocket. Jay on there, trying to recover the loose ball, play to the recovery of the ball, all those things that we talk about. Just a really nice job. It's good to have Christian back and get him playing with some confidence. You have had some kind words for Derek Roberson in the last couple of games with his performance. He had a really nice sack in the ball game for a minus 20. He did. He had some other good moves. He had a good play on kickoff coverage. I went down there again and see the pocket collapsing and I'm sure Jeff was working hard enough that Jeff deserved one from yesterday, but sometimes that's how it goes. Jeff created, I think, two sacks yesterday and would have certainly loved to get one of those, but as long as somebody in the Titans uniform is getting sacks, we're happy. Roberson has a sack and a half in the last two games for the Titans and has played very well against the run as well. All right, fourth and final takeaway. One of the newer Titans, the veteran from Chattanooga, Buster Screams. Just a really cool play here. They got a three-level route breaking in and Buster starts in the slot and works his way back, gets some depth, doesn't bite up and they're trying to hit that end cut in there behind them and great catch. This was really cool to see. He's done just a great job for us coming in there, playing inside, playing outside. He's a great teammate. I love coaching him. I know everybody loves having him around. All right, so when you're going to finish the shutout, it's going to be done by the backups and the starters are on the sidelines urging them on. You've got to get off the field right here on fourth down. Yep, and so we go over there. Dane, unfortunately misses the tackle. Guys are swarming. Elijah's in there chewing on his ankle and biting his ankle and then Farley comes in and cleans him up. These guys are excited.  That's a 245-pound back right there. Ogun Bawali is a big guy. He is, and we tackled really well yesterday. There was a lot of good clips of our tackling. I think our coaches had our team for one miss tackle. That's unbelievable. When a team gets a shutout, it often adds confidence to a defense. It certainly adds excitement as you've gone back to practice this week. Yeah, I think just playing well and playing together, communicating, that's what breeds confidence. I don't want to just sit there and say, we only have confidence when we shut them out because you can play really great defense and score some scores in this league, but it's all the things that lead to that. Playing with great technique and fundamentals and effort and swarming to the football. Does Mike Vrable have confidence as we go to the Delta Dental Can You Guess This Tighten? Yeah, we're on a roll here. We're on a roll. Let's take a look before we go to break the reveal. Can You Guess This Tighten? Looks like he's off of the show Yellowstone maybe. Or Alaska to the last frontier. There we go. There it is. We'll see if you can guess who this tighten is and see if Mike Vrable can guess who this tighten is. Sponsored by Delta Dental when the Mike Vrable show returns after this. Delta Dental says, can you guess this tighten? What they really want to know is can head coach Mike Vrable guess this tighten on the Mike Vrable show? Let's take another look before we need the head coach's gift. I think we're sticking with the old line. David Quessenberry. David Quessenberry is the guess and it is Jeff Swain. Tighten. It's Jeff Swain. That was my second guess. Off of Yellowstone. Kind of does. Jeff Swain, important guy to the offense has caught a lot of balls in recent weeks. Good blocker. Yeah, I mean it's he plays a lot of roles for us. He plays on the last scrimmage. He doesn't play off. He plays in the backfield.  Get him a touchdown there the other day. But, you know, just a lot of dirty work. He knows a lot of positions. He's a smart player. And that's not easy duty. You know, going in there and wrestling with sometimes 280-pound defensive ends in this league. So, Jeff's been a consistent player for us kind of represents what you want guys on this team to be. Selfless, tough, available, dependable all of those things. Yeah, I mean, I think he also is making some corrections and some detail and some techniques and pointed that out to the team and the coaching staff about something that him and I had talked about just on a particular block that I thought could help him. And it actually showed up in the game and just tried to point those things out to the players taking the details and making corrections and fixing. Tight ends very involved in the ball game on Sunday. Yeah, you know, a lot of action and, you know, fur cuts and some catches and, you know, pro helps us out in a lot of different ways. And, you know, Swain, we only got three of them so they all have roles and they all play. When we come back, Amy Wells in the Titans files as she goes off the field for a Titans fan favorite who also happens to be a hometown boy made good. That's next to the Mike Gravel show. Welcome back to the Mike Gravel show. When you talk about heroes off the field to Titans fans you talk about the visor and I'm not talking about Steve Spurrier. He's great but our visor is somebody that Titans fans have been relying on for over 20 years and for the last seven he's actually worked for the organization. The best part of his story, he's living a dream because he's so much filmated. In this week's Titans files, Amy Wells goes off the field to introduce you to the person known as the visor. You'll recognize him quickly. We've seen so many players step up and play well with Jeffers Simmons or Kevin Byer here later. When the Titans signed Jim Wyatt to become the senior writer editor for the Tennessee Titans in 2015 it might have been the first big move that Amy Adams team since almost the day that the team moved to Nashville so his credibility was unmatched with the Titans fan base. Jim's presence makes TennesseeTitans.com the first stop for Titans fans every day of the year. A lot of these fans that I've known since I started covering the team back in 1999 and a lot of times I'll tell people I remembered when you first started at the Tennessee and that's been a big part of it. I appreciate people to read. I appreciate about this team because they're what kind of makes us go. I'm trying to give people a look on what happens on the practice field so practice observations news of the day, feature stories try to work ahead and a lot of days it ends up being three, four things a day you try to crank out. Jim Wyatt's work ethic on behalf of the fans is no joke. He never stops ever. He writes three or more stories a day. He does interviews with radio shows, podcasts and TV shows. Jim has a love for his job and a humility that makes him never forget who he works for. I don't consider myself the best rider out there, but I've always been willing to work. There are a lot of other people that are smarter who do a great job and now my job is to try to outwork them as much as I can and to try to tell stories about the team and try to pump out as much information about the team as possible. And it all starts with a pencil. Jim Wyatt is famous for the many pencils that he has on him at press conferences and interview sessions. Every picture of Jim shows him with multiple pencils clinging to his ever present visor. For Jim, it's like when he started school in the 1970s. Pencils are practical. When you're making a mistake and you can erase it easy a lot of times I keep a file on my notebook or what's going on day to day instead of having to start on a whole new page every day I can use the eraser to update it. I keep it on the visor because you always know where it is. You don't have any blemish on your pants that I used to get from time to time and I usually have a couple of them because you never know when you're going to run out of lead. When we're out in public with Jim Wyatt Titans fans treat him like a rock star. They love his stories. They love his twice weekly mail bags. They love him on Twitter. And they like the special touches that he gives them each week. Kind of like the now famous Bridges report. In seven seasons with the Titans Jim's Bridges report has become an instant classic. When I started working with the team I'd get heads up on what the uniform combinations were going to be.  I went through a long list of different descriptions for pants and the Bridges took off. It's funny how people look forward to that you know some new fans or fans that are following the team. Elsewhere they see Bridges sometimes and they still man who uses the word Bridges. Jim Wyatt uses the word Bridges along with thousands of other words that he provides for the Titans fans every single week. He works for the Titans fans. Jim's connection to the Titans fan base comes naturally because Jim Wyatt embodies local boy makes good. It means a lot. I grew up in Nashville when I went to Father Ryan High School. I went to grade school here. I'm one of five. All brothers and sisters grew up here in Nashville and I never dreamed we'd have an NFL team. I covered high school sports when I first started working for the Tennessee and when I got out of college I loved that. When the news came that the team was coming I continued to work high school then got an opportunity to cover you know the NFL and it's been a dream you know career for me. You know being a Nashville you know my dad 83 years old season tickets got so many friends that are passionate Titans fans. I just have such great pride in this city and such great pride in being able to work for the NFL team in this city. The Tennessee Titans been a dream for me. People always wonder is Jim Wyatt that good at his job? The answer is yes. People always wonder is Jim Wyatt that good a guy? The answer is yes. Certainly very proud that he's part of the Titans team and that he makes Tennessee Titans dot com so special every single day. When we come back it's time for the Nissan Keys to victory. The head coach will be right here next. The coach is back for the Nissan Keys here on the Mike Brable show. Titans on their way to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Heinz Field. Key number one is be the more physical team offensively.  Your offense better be physical because if they're not they're going to feast on you. They're going to put their hands in your chest and try to knock you back and shed and be physical tacklers. DBS are aggressive and so we just our mindset is that we have to be aggressive and physical on offense. Key number two in this Nissan run down is about the Titans defense and that's limit the run of the game. Yeah well they're going to call a lot of runs but they may end up throwing the football off the look that Ben sees and what he's coached to do so if you're not lined up and if it's it's option football you know but it's just a run pass option and so if you're not lined up and you're not taking care of your responsibility you know that's where the quarterback is going to pull it and he's going to throw it and so it's critical that we get lined up we take care of that success. Something you did well on Sunday people in the right places. Yeah I mean I think that that needs to continue they just do it a lot more they're going to do it a lot more frequency. Alright if you watch the Mike Vrabel show you have seen this key before number three penalty free aggression on special teams what does that mean? That means we have to play full tilt to the football we have to finish longer than the guy with the ball but we can't block guys in the back you know I'm chasing a guy back into the returner man turn up get to the second level let's chat whoever is returning make a miss and let's see if we can get a block on a second level not grabbing guys at the point of attack and getting holding calls that puts you inside a ten yard line. Yeah change of field position it's huge we saw the New England a difference you know here the other day is just being able to play special teams without penalties. Overall tough place to play got to have a mindset just got to go get it yeah you have to have a mindset you have to prepare you have to take care of football you know and hopefully be able to force them into some turnovers and like we've always said special teams are going to have to make a player too for you. Good luck on Sunday. Thanks. Alright Titans and the Pittsburgh Steelers coming your way Sunday from Hinesfield kickoff set for noon we'll have it for you here locally on 104.5 the zone we hope you'll tune in for the head coach Mike Vrabel I'm Mike Keith thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time.


Today, we are going to discuss the topic classification algorithms which are decision tree based. At the end of the session, a student will be able to demonstrate various classification algorithms based on decision trees and compare between them. A tree what we consider is basically generated and a set of rules are derived from the given data set. The records which are available for developing the classification methods are divided into a training and a test set. Attributes of these records are then classified into numerical attributes which are numbers and categorical attributes which are some text whose domains are not numerical. When we go for the properties of decision trees, we see that the inner node of a decision tree represents an attribute. The edge represents a test on this particular attribute of the further node and the leaves give out one of the classes. We generate a decision tree based on the training data which we are going to give to the particular system and we are going to use a top-down strategy. An example of a decision tree is if we have a training data set which has five attributes. There are special attributes which are called as class attributes. Some of them are numerical and other are categorical as we have just seen. Then we plot a tree and this tree will have five nodes. In a decision tree, each leaf node represents a rule. Here we are seeing that outlook could be sunny, overcast, rainy, taking us to humidity, play and windy. As we discover rules, if it is sunny and the humidity is not above 75%, then you can go to play. So generating such rules are possible from your decision tree. How do we apply classification? For classification, we traverse the tree from the root node to the leaf node. A record enters the tree at the root node. At the root, a test is applied to determine which child node the record will encounter next. This process is repeated until the record arrives to a leaf node. All the records that end up a given leaf node of the tree are classified in the same way. However, there is a unique path from the root to each of the leaf and the path is a rule which is used to classify the records. This classification, what we are seeing here, is for an unknown record that performs classification and here we assume for a record that we know the values of the first four attributes as outlook being rainy, temperature being 70, humidity being 65 and windy being true. We start from the root node and check the value of the attribute associated at the root node. The attribute is the splitting attribute at this node. This splitting attribute is very important for a decision tree and in our example, outlook is the splitting attribute of the root. Since the given record has outlook is equal to rain, we move to the rightmost child node of the root. Thus, we then go for the splitting attribute, windy and we go ahead to find windy being true and we generate at the next level that we don't have to go for plink. So the classification, what we are developing has to be now tested for its accuracy and this accuracy is determining the percentage of the test data set that is correctly classified. We can see in the rule one where there were two records, the test set satisfying outlook is equal to sunny and humidity is less than 75. The only one of these that is correctly classified is as going to play. Thus, the accuracy of the rule is 0.5 which is 50%. Similarly, the accuracy of the rule two is again 50%. Rule three is 0.66%. Now we go in for seeing that here the splitting node in this particular graph is now the pin code and we see here that although the splitting attribute is the age, the right child node has the same attribute as the splitting attribute. At the root reveal, we have nine records. All are associated with the criteria which is called as pin code 50046 and as a result, you have two subset of records 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9 to the left child and the remaining all go towards the right child. This is repeated for every node. The advantage of using a decision tree is decision trees are able to generate understandable rules. They are able to handle both numerical and categorical attributes and they provide clear indication of which field are most important for predictive or classification. Weaknesses are growing of the decision tree makes computations expensive and some decision trees can only deal with binary-valued targeted classes. The ID3 dichromatizer uses the decision tree. It was developed by Quinlan in 1986. Each node again corresponds to a splitting attribute. The possible values of the attribute are indicated on the arcs and we consider now an object of interest which is called as entropy. The algorithm uses the criteria of information gain. Here we are seeing an example from Quinlan's ID3 algorithm wherein the class attribute by computer has two distinct values. They are two distinct classes therefore m is equal to 2. The class C1 indicates corresponding to a yes and the class C2 corresponds to no. Means yes we are going to buy a computer or no we are not going to buy a computer. There are nine examples of classes yes and five examples of the class no as indicated in this particular table in the rightmost column. The exact classification rules are developed from the trees. These are in the form of if-then rules. One rule is created for each path from the root to the leaf and each attribute value pair along the path forms a conjunction. So we see that the leaf node holds the class prediction finally and the rules are easier for human beings to understand because it is flowing in a path. These are the solution rules that are developed. The algorithm for using decision tree induction is the basic greedy algorithm where the tree is constructed in a top-down recursive divide and conquer manner. It starts all the training examples at the root. Attributes are categorical and you may use selected examples for recursively based and selected attributes. For example you may go for an information gain calculation and the conditions for stopping the partitioning are all samples of the given nodes belong to the same class. No attributes are used for further partitioning and no samples are left. So the attribute measure which is gain can be calculated by selecting the attribute which has the highest information gain then finding out the measure s which is for the representing this particular class c i which has i classes. So this tuple of classes is of importance. We measure the information based on this particular formula. We consider entropy of the attribute with the values using the second formula and the information gain by branching on the attribute a by the gain formula consisting of all the s's which are from the tuples which are generated. This entropy is defined as entropy of s is given to be a value which is based on the logarithmic aspect of the particular samples which are existing into the particular system. And we consider for this a value t which is total number of instances that we have which is an addition of p and n where we see that we are going to add these two to develop our class distribution of s. So entropy is finally calculated using the entropy formula and for an example where p is equal to 9 and n is equal to 5 we generate an entropy of 0.940. If both the classes are considered we see that the entropy for a complete pure set is zero and for one for a set with equal occurrences like if they were all the samples in the first set being considered and no samples from the second set so 14 samples from first set and zero samples from second set then we get an entropy to be zero here and if equal samples are taken from two sets the attribute selection by information gain computation we see that we could use an information gain for an attribute age and we could do a computation and then find out since the age has the highest information gain among the attributes it is selected as the test attribute and we find the information gain for the particular age to be a combination of information which is from all the ages and here we have found out for the yeses and the noes and we come to a conclusion that information gain is 0.246 similarly we find a gain income a gain of the student and a gain of the credit rating. Now we go for an example which consists of the training data from an employee database and here we see we are going to use the id3 algorithm to construct a decision tree from this given data here we see initial entropy then we find the gain of the department gain of the age gain of the salary and the initial entropy once again the gain of the at the different levels we are going to perform these particular computations other attribute selection measure is the guinea index which is given on cart of the IBM intelligent miner where all attributes are assumed continuous valued here and we assume that exist several possible split values for each attribute and other tools such as clustering may be used here we again concentrate on the split values and the categorical value attributes which have to be modified the guinea index is given by this particular formula summation j is equal to 1 to n of pj square okay wherein we now consider if a data set t contains the samples from n classes the guinea index defined by this particular formula is done after splitting that t into the subset classes t1 and t2 with the sizes n1 and n2 then the guinea index is again remodified as guinea of split at a position t is equal to n1 upon n2 of the guinea index of t1 and n2 upon n of the guinea index of t2 this attribute provides the smallest guinea split is chosen and the split of the node which need to enumerate all possible splitting points for each attribute a solution for this particular problem is indicated here we represent all our data in the form of confusion matrixes and these bring us to finally our particular values what we have to compute for our references we have used your textbooks dunham and camber thank you
