Hey everybody what's going on I am Greg Sussman joined today by Jim Sonnis who's here to break down the Daytona 500 this Sunday what's happening Jim? We are doing all good Greg last night's qualifying races weren't too wonky but they did give us some really good studs starting further back which is exactly what you want for Daytona so I am feeling good feeling ready it's Valentine's Day so we're all good here how you doing? I'm doing fantastic I'm sure your fiance is going to be pumped when you're watching the Daytona 500 and the XFL and Gauffo weekend so things will be well in the Sonnis household I'm sure. Absolutely you know last year we actually got engaged during the Daytona 500 last year so I will make some sacrifices but hopefully I can get some leeway this year to make up for it and watch it this time around.  Let's begin with your favorite play in DFS this week at the Daytona 500 and it's one of the favorites it's Kyle Busch who's $14,000 on Fandle why are you going in on Kyle Busch? In general for tracks like Daytona what you want to do is you want to target drivers who are starting further back because there aren't a lot of laps to be led and it's very easy to pass on these tracks so our mindset in general is going to be we want to target drivers starting further back and Kyle Busch allows us to do so without sacrificing quality because he is starting 28th of this race but I would agree he's still one of the favorites to win this race he had a really fast car in both the clash last week got wrecked there and then was fast in the dual race last night as well but then got shuffled outside of the pack and couldn't quite make up that ground before the end of the race. Now Kyle Busch has never won the Daytona 500 but he's won pretty much everything else you can win in Daytona so he's a good driver on this track he hasn't won this specific race came very close last year finished second there behind his teammate Danny Hamlin we'll talk about in just one second Joe Gibbs racing one two three in that race and they won two of the past three races at Daytona so the equipment's good the driver's good the starting position is great I think that Kyle Busch is the number one guy you lock in for cash games and a great play for tournaments as well he's very expensive but you can make it work with some of the value plays we'll discuss later on so Kyle Busch really a no-brainer for me for the Daytona 500. Kyle Busch belongs in your line-ups don't overthink this cash game tournament doesn't matter Kyle Busch in there well next Danny Hamlin's always a threat at the Daytona 500 he's expensive though Jim why are you putting him in your line-up yeah the defending champ of the Daytona 500 last year got the win which was his second Daytona 500 win he also won in 2016 and he kind of just has a knack for avoiding trouble at these tracks and his car is good enough to allow him to capitalize on that when he is around at the end and he talked about that this year how he has kind of like a sense for when the big wreck is gonna happen he'll pedal things back get out of the way let the crash happen around him then continue on his way and that does show in the data too which means he's probably due for some were crashing regression but hey you know we'll certainly take it here because he's starting back in 21st which means he's gonna get you good place differential upside he still has the ability to win the race so checks a lot of the same boxes as Kyle Busch and we saw how fast his car was despite being super banged up in the bush clash on Sunday he was able to push his teammate Eric Jones to win even though both their cars were bad I think Joe Gibbs racing has some super fast cars this weekend and I can get to Joe Gibbs cars starting further back who have that upside that we do like for place differential and Denny Hamlin again like Kyle Busch can win from here I think you can stack these two guys together and if they decide to link up late in the race you're gonna be sitting pretty made DFS perspective and there's a lot of value here as well so affording both Hamlin and Busch in the same lineup not that hard to do I'll be looking to do so this weekend because both those guys have the ability to win and are starting further back that's exactly what you want for Daytona. Denny Hamlin defending champ starting a little farther back Joe Gibbs racing the cars are ready to rock this week they're running fast and Hamlin do it again when he belongs in your lineup just think he does. Another rider that's worth putting in there this week is Ryan Blaney who's priced at $11,000 why is the Blane train in the lineup? Because he's got to win me money at some point I have been on Ryan Blaney in the Busch Clash on Sunday and he wrecked I was on him for the dual races last night he wrecked again so full me once shame on you full me twice shame on me there is no thing for full me three times so we're gonna run it back with Ryan Blaney one more time and see what happens because of that crash in the dual race last night he is starting back in 27th that's really good it also needs to go into a backup car so he will physically be starting this race even further back but from a place differential perspective he is starting 27th and that is a good number if you look at you know I have a model for each race and before the dual races Ryan Blaney actually ranked second behind Joey Logano as being the best driver overall I think that's overrating him a bit but he is in really good equipment with Penske racing he has done well in Daytona in the past almost one year finished second a couple years ago then led 118 laps two years ago so he's used that equipment well and can run up front and he's got a lot of really good teammates in this race including Joey Logano starting all the way up in third spot he's a really good driver really good equipment starting further back and it's a little bit cheaper than Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin as well so if you can't quite talk yourself into the value plays at least as much as I can I can understand trying to save some salary going down to Ryan Blaney but if you also want to get crazy you can fit Blaney Hamlin and Busch all in the same lineup so I am looking to go a little bit top-heavy this weekend and go in stars and scrubs Ryan Blaney fits with that and hopefully he does not continue to drain my bankroll as he has done so far during speed weeks alright Ryan Blaney who's cost him way too much money over the years and certainly this season maybe this is the time he's had some success at Daytona can this be the one where he finally wins it all we'll find out on Sunday. Up next is we get a little bit cheaper here Jim we get into Clint Boyer who this week is priced at $9,000 at Daytona this is kind of the end of our higher price guys why are we kind of stopping the buck here with Boyer? Yeah this range is really bad there are a lot of drivers in this range who are starting further up and that's not what we want for Daytona especially for guys who are a little bit cheaper because it means their odds of winning are lower you can tolerate a guy up front if he can win not a lot of guys here can do that though but Clint Boyer is kind of like the shining star he's starting all the way back in 29th that is the lowest any starting position for any driver on a top-end team in this entire race and it makes it pretty easy to buy into Clint Boyer he's with Stuart Haas racing and he's an afford those are two things that I really do value for this race because the forwards have looked good and nothing I like about Clint Boyer is he can sometimes be an odd duck and he likes to hang out in the back and try to avoid calamity and you know at of place like Phoenix or Homestead or whatever that's not a good thing that's not what you want but in Daytona I want my drivers to finish the race and it's hard to finish the race if you wreck so I kind of like you and guys like Clint Boyer hang out in the back and I would not be shocked if he does so during Sunday's race if you use Clint Boyer and you see that he's hanging out in 30th and you're kind of confused maybe annoyed with me hold off be patient because he will charge when it does matter got the horse power to get it done when he wants to move forward and try to win this race and he does fit a balance approach really well again I'm going to try to go a bit more top heavy so I may not wind up on Clint Boyer as often as I wind up by guys like Ryan Blaney and Kyle Bush but dollar for dollar Clint Boyer is probably one of the best plays in this entire field really good equipment starting far back he's got good experience he's good driver on these drafting tracks so Clint Boyer is someone I definitely want to target if I wind up in this mid-range on Sunday it's not exactly easy here this week with a guy like Clint Boyer and as we get cheaper in our Fanduul lineups but Boyer does make some sense as Jim described for the Daytona 500 so if you want to take a shot on Clint Boyer well it could be worth it now let's get really cheap here Jim as we got to save some money in order to get the Kyle Bushes and Denny Hamlin's in there and that begins with Ryan Priest he's fifty five hundred dollars why do you think he has a shot here on Sunday yeah I've spent the past couple of weeks talking of Chris Busher a lot because Chris Busher is a guy in new equipment and he did he had done well in Daytona in the past well the guy taking over in Bushers new car he was Bushers teammate last year but now moving to Bushers old car is Ryan Priest. Ryan Priest is starting all the way back in 31st but we know he has the equipment to get the job done here because Chris Busher did so in the past we saw Ryan Priest finish eighth year last year as well and his teammate Ricky Svendavs Jr. is on the pull for this race so the engine under the hood is really good which makes us feel good about Ryan Priest and Priest showed some talent as well in Talladega so it seems like drafting tracks do suit him pretty well so I think that things line up here pretty well if I were to outline one knock on Ryan Priest for this race it is that he's driving a Chevy as mentioned the Chevy's have new new bodies for this year and they haven't shown the ability to bump draft all that well that's a little bit concerning we did see William Byron and Jimmy Johnson finish first and second in last night's second dual race so that's definitely good but I do have some overall concerns about Chevy's for this race but the good thing with with Ryan Priest that he's starting all the way back in 31st which does help you quite a bit he has a good engine I think that's helpful as well we don't need him to win to pay off which lowers my concerns around him being in a Chevy so Ryan Priest starting super far back we do that concern about the Chevy but that starting far back gives him a lot of upside and I think that he does have the equipment to get the job done as he has shown in the past as well so a little bit of risk with Priest for sure because he's not on a top flight team but I do like the upside and I do like the fact that he is proven he can do well here in the past as well there is upside with Ryan Priest and there is the history but with the lack of confidence in your in his team I think there are question marks with Priest but that's okay it's $5,500 you're not breaking the bank for him we're the shot in the Daytona 500 one last driver to get to Jim and that resistant Michael McDowell he's the chiefest player or chiefest driver rather in your lineup here this week $5,000 why are you taking the shot at McDowell yeah it's another guy with a proven history at Daytona and I think that's really valuable because he is an afford which I definitely like but also as mentioned he has done it in the past he's starting back in 26th that's a good number from a starting position perspective and he enters this race with four top tens in his past seven Daytona races he has finished outside the top 15 just once and if you get a top 15 out of a driver in this salary range who is starting back in 26th that's going to give you a really good advantage for this race because it allows you to afford really high up upside guys like Kyle Bush and Denny Hammond you don't need this guy to win the race for him to be a good DFS player I think that's a pretty big luxury for Michael McDowell he should get help from other four drivers if he does work his way to the front as we've seen him do in the past and he's actually helped push people to wins before as well so the equipment is not great for Michael McDowell but the driver is and I think that's valuable for a guy starting back in 26th now if you want to get really wild and want to jam in like all those duds we discussed before Brendan Gaughn is $2,500 he is starting 39th he is the second to last driver in this race but pretty fast in qualifying he actually earned his way into the race on qualifying alone and he's done well at Daytona and Talladega in the past so if you want to get really wild which I will want to do every now and then for this weekend for sure Brendan Gaughn makes sense at $2,500 but if you want to play it a little bit safer get access to those forwards get access to better equipment I think Michael McDowell is a really solid option at $5,000 I think you want to do both right I think you want to be conservative and play it safe but also take some of that risk I think that's what McDowell is right it's not as crazy as paying $2,500 for a guy but you know the the offside may not be as high either I think there's two different mindsets you want to do a little bit of both in order for you to be successful on Sunday at the Daytona $500 Jim we appreciate the time good luck this weekend I'm sure this week this Daytona $500 probably won't be as good as your last one no probably not but that's okay I can accept that for sure hopefully it'll be a profitable one for GFS to make up for the engagement last year so I'll see how that goes but appreciate it Greg I hope you have a great Valentine's Day weekend and we'll talk to you again soon sounds good man I'll talk to you next week for sure enjoy the Daytona $500 enjoy the XFL enjoy your weekend for Jim Sonos I'm Greg Sussman we'll see you back here next week for another edition of the FanDuel Hurry Up


So, I hear you want to be a telemarketer, it's a lot of fun, I'll tell you all about it. My name is Brandon Keith Avery, and this is just my opinion. Hey what's going on everyone, thank you so much for tuning in to my Epane Slash review for Asara to Bother You, I really do appreciate it. So Asara to Bother You, if you would like to look it up right now, it's being described as a comedy, fantasy, science fiction film, and I didn't know that going in, I just kind of looked it as a comedy. I saw the trailer when it first came out, and we saw Keith Stanfield there, if you don't know him, he is the gentleman that was Dre and Get Out, which came out last year, and currently right now he is in the show Atlanta, that's on FX with Donald Glover, one of the friends, fantastic actor. I'll talk about him more in just a second, of course he's the main character, but I just saw him on the trailer just talking, you know, and him Danny Glover talking about using my white voice, and I'm like, oh snap, that's hilarious, and I can relate to that because like all black people have been like all of them, like all of us, you know what I'm saying? We've all, we've all pretended to have a white voice, especially when we're trying to get a job or, you know, set up an interview or, you know, things like that.  I heard my dad doing it, you know, on the phone when he talking about, when he's talking about when he's talking to his colleagues and co-workers and things like that, and I instantly knew why.  So like initially got my interest right there within the movie is that first trailer. It has a full star study cast as far as I'm concerned. I just talked about like Hugh Stanfield, we got Tessa Thompson in here. We got Omari Harik, Omari Hardwick, been in a ton of films right now. He's the main character in Power Terry Cruz. We all know who that is. Danny Glover, he's a legend. We got Stephen Yoon from or Stephen Young from the Walking Dead series, a series that I don't watch anymore. Also, Armie Hammer, Patton Oswalt is in this. He does a voice. Forrest Whitaker is in here as well. You know, so, I mean, we got a great cast. I was all over this. Now, the writer and director is a gentleman I've never heard of before. And most wouldn't his name is Boots Riley Boots. I bet people was calling him Boots growing up. But his name is Boots Riley. He only has one writing credit, which is this right here. Asada Badiou and two directing credits for Sada Badiou and the Coupe, the best Coupe DVD ever or the Coupe, the best Coupe DVD ever came out in 2005. It's a it's a 2005 video short segment is eating forever. Me and Jesus, the pimp and the 79 granada last night. What? OK, I don't look that up before I hit record. But, you know, hey, whatever, I hope it was successful for him. Now, what I would say, what this film is about is I told you, LaKeith Stanfield, his real name, not his real name, his name in the film is Cassius Green. He's just trying to get a job, be a telemarketer. We all know that that's annoying. Telemarketers calling you and trying to sell you stuff. That's why the title of the film is Sada Badiou.   No, that is not what this movie is. It is so, so much more. You know, it just goes from that all the way to levels that are as far deep into space, whether that is good or bad, or far like the night. Of course, we're going to get into that. But I'm not going to spoil the movie for you. This is a non spoiler review, but I just want to let you know that this is much, much more than the comedy. As far as the comedy is concerned, it is funny for the most part. To me, it was not a laugh out loud funny.  There were some jokes and some quips in the film that I did find funny. There is actually more real life moments that are funny than actual jokes. You know, that is funny when something when they're not trying to be funny. I mean, of course, they're trying to be funny. This is a movie that wrote it into the script. They wrote it into the screenplay. But sometimes in life, just, you know, us as human beings, as we're as we're going through life and interacting with each other, just some of the things that we do on consciously is funny. So we had a number of things like that that I did laugh at in the film. Now, as far as Cassie is being a telemarketer, that is another great thing that I thought the film did a very great job and just kind of shows the style of the director, Bruce Riley, when he was on the phone as a telemarketer. Cassie is the visual representation of how they threw you into the car. I found very compelling.  It was very creative. It was very unique. And there was a number of unique things in this film, some good, some bad. Some of the things that are good is just kind of like the random things that the director would like focus on and zoom in on. But then like a negative is I felt that he would do that too much to where it was just too random. So I was like, OK, I'm thinking at first like, yeah, you know, that's just some clever directing right there. He's not tour. He's different. He's not like all these other corporate slaves and blah, blah, blah. But then it just came too much. And I'm just like, OK, like, you know, what's going on? Where are you going with this? Why did you just zoom in on a remote? Is this going to come back and circle around later on the film? So it just kind of like too many random moments. Now, the editing I thought was very well in this film. I believe I said that this was his very original film. And it's the kind of way he kind of cut in and cut out of things. I did find fascinating. Something is that is a trip. The main thing that people are going to be talking about this movie is how it relates to the real world. You all know if you've seen a lot of my videos. I am a big comic fan. I love comic movies, Marvel DC. I love it all. And in Marvel DC and comic books and science fiction, fantasy, things like that, there is something that you call a multiverse to where we are right now in this universe here, living our lives. But in a parallel universe over here, there may be another Earth like Earth 1 and over here is Earth 2 to where everything could be completely different or, you know, I could be me, but have, you know, red hair and be extremely skinny or extremely muscular or whatever, just slightly different. This film right here is a offshoot or just an example, a alternate universe of the world that we live in today. It's where things are very similar, but different at the same time. And Armie Hammer is the lead actor as far as that's concerned. And in this plot device and he does he does a very, very great job. His name is Steve Lyft. He is a billionaire, maybe even a trillion, I can't remember.  And I don't want to spoil actually, I was finished to give more detail. But actually, this film is better, not even knowing I'm not even going to tell you. I don't want to set it up even more. But I'll just say that Armie Hammer's character was very interesting. So was Terry Crews. I did like him other than the wig that he had. Amari Hardwick, his character in this film was the most shocking as well. And just the way the director, the way he dealt with everything else in this movie of it just kind of being some like else world situation that we kind of see her on, you know, that we live in today. This film deals with so much. It is with slavery. It deals with racism. It deals with Cooning. If you don't know what Cooning is, you know, you can look that up. It's random. It's political. It's sickening. It's bold. Just it's just a real representation of of American life and kind of what we go through in this country. Not I'm not just talking about black people. I'm talking about everybody. Whether you're white, black, brown, yellow, red, whatever, you know what I'm saying?  And the film doesn't try to hide it either. And this is a very honest film. I'm blatant it does. I'm sorry for tapping that guys for you with the headphones. It's very honest. It's very blatant. It breaks the fourth wall without breaking the fourth wall, you know, literally just stopping and just letting you know what the objective of this scene is or even line of dialogue. I thought that was brilliant. I thought it was very it was very unapologetic. And that is something that I can respect. And just the the where this film went is just very shocking to me with some of the issues that it addressed. And I was just kind of asking myself, man, I cannot believe they're going there. You know, but they went there, which has caused me to look up the rating of this film, which is a rated R. It's it's not a hard R, but it's dancing in between because some of the stuff is also kind of disturbing and just kind of makes you uncomfortable and just like really just like it's just like, man, I was sitting here watching myself like, man, you know, people really do certain things in this film that people would do in real life. What I'm trying to say is the crap that people would do to gain no no yard, no reality or significance or likes online is is is very interesting. And this film does shine a light on that a big vivid light. Now, as you're exploring all this, you just don't know. There was a couple of times where I was like, OK, word at the original film goes that I thought I was watching. I don't know where this film is going. Do I really care right now? But then they would just do something so random and crazy to where it was like, man, where is this film going to go? It's like I care, but I didn't care. I mean, this was very interesting. I still don't know if I like this film or not. I really don't. It is just that's interesting. It is nothing that I want to see again. I saw this with my mother. What do we see this? Saw this Monday night with my mother. She couldn't stand the film. If any, if I talked to anybody out there and they said they hated this film, I would completely understand what that was going from coming from. If somebody I was talking since like, man, I really liked this film. It was unique. It was different. It was bold. It was this. It was that. I really liked it. I could understand that, too. I don't know where I am. Actually, I do and I'm going to go ahead and give my rating of sorry to bother you or sorry to bother you right now. If I were to rate sorry to bother you out of a one out of 10, I'm going to give it a seven point five out of 10. Yes, a seven point five out of 10. The reason why is even though this film was a little bit uncomfortable in some parts and I did not know where it was going. And it was random and it was weird and disturbing. I still have respect for it for what it was doing and the message that it tried to convey. I think it did a great job there. And they may not be it may not have been just my cup of tea, but I can remove my bias and sometimes look at a film objectively, even though all films are subjective and appreciate what it was trying to do. And I do appreciate what this film is trying to do. I'm not necessarily saying that I like the film, but in some weird warped way, I slightly have a bit of respect for it and just kind of, you know, it kind of opened my eyes to just some things and what could possibly come.  But guys, that is just my opinion for sorry to bother you. What did you think or do you want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know down in the comment section below. Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing. If you like this video, go ahead and give me the thumbs up. And if you don't, that's fine, but you can still subscribe to my channel. You can also look me up on social media, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, all that good stuff. It's right there at the bottom of your screen and I made it very easy by providing links to all that good stuff down in the description box below. But guys, I just want to thank you again for tuning into my opinion slash review of sorry to bother you. And before you go, don't forget that my name is Brennan Keith-Avery and that's just my opinion. Peace.


I've gone live. See, not that I ever complain about Hangouts, but one thing I would change is that going live banner should change color when it's actually live to make it very clear that you're live. Just a feature suggestion, Google. Not trying to paint you with a brush of tar. There's some such metaphor. Brush of tar. All right, what band would a brush of tar be? Brush of tar. Iron and Wine, maybe, or like Green Foxes. Oh, it's got two members of Iron and Wine teaming up with a former member of Guar. Oh, jeez. A brush of tar. It's a super group. A brush of Guar. A brush of Guar. That would actually be a really good branded beverage or barbecue sauce. Oh, a brush of tar. I don't know. Kind of makes me think cigarettes, though. So maybe you could like Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce. You can do Marlboro barbecue sauce. Oh, I thought you said a brush of Guar, like the band. Oh, yeah, we did say that. You're OK, so you're saying that would make. Gotcha. Like you branded Guar. Oh, look, Activision Revenues are up on Overwatch. Well, that's a surprising, shocking turn of events. I hope everyone is ready for me to rip up the lineup to add that crazy unexpected, crazy thing. Hey, listen, after everybody was shocked that Nintendo wasn't making money on Niantic, then maybe people do need to be reminded of who owns what and in what shares. LinkedIn posted a huge second quarter, which I believe this will be their last. It may be their second to last, I guess I don't know. But their last independent company, before they joined Microsoft. Yeah. Oh, no, this is the last one. I can, yeah. You're using the mic on your buds or the ones on your buds, yeah.  OK, yeah, I'm not going to talk that much louder, because I'm in somebody else's place of business and literally sitting at somebody else's desk. OK. It's very nice of them. Do we need to thank them? We do, and we will. All right, good. The culture club, is that what you're saying? The escape room. Oh, is that the ones where you go in and you get an hour to figure out how to believe it? They've got three, yeah, three different escape rooms. Apparently, the hardest is the KGB interrogation. Interesting. Sounds like my stint at fast food restaurants. Oh, I got in here, now I've got to get out in an hour. We were all taking on a bit of a journey with that one. Very evocative. I've got to get out of here. Why am I here? I got stuck at a McDonald's once in Stockton, and I was waiting for a lift to take me home, because I took the ACT over to the University of Pacific. It's like, why am I stuck here? This whole place is a wretched. I'm going to burn down. Good God. All right, you guys ready? All right, let's go. Let's do this. Here we go.

August 4th, 2016, I'm Tom Merry. Joining me today from GenCon in Indianapolis, the heartland of America. Maybe that's why I'm thinking it's July 4th. Justin, Robert Young, how are you? Can I just say normally we fill this moment with our witty banter back and forth about what we're doing and maybe giving some sly hints as to the stories that we'll be covering, but can I take, seed my time, and just compliment the voice of the person that did that intro? Mark J.  Because I, that is one of those soothing, like the kind of like a Christian radio clip that would be played in a White Stripes album or something. It was very amazing. I would love to have him do more stuff for me. 100% agree. He was very nice. He's like, if you don't want to use it, it's fine. I'm like, well, are you kidding me? Of course I'm gonna use that. So thank you, Mark J. Also, thank you to the folks hosting you there, allowing you to do DTNS today. Indeed, we are here on the exclusive home as of right now, unless we can figure out, figure something else out, to do a two-front war. But right now, the only place that you'll be able to get, and you will be able to get it, all throughout GenCon is, for the exclusive contender stuff, is the escape room in Indianapolis. It is 200 Meridian Avenue Suite 202, right up upstairs from the old spaghetti factory. Not a warehouse, there's spaghetti warehouses. No, you make this to get in the factory, and you store it in the warehouse, but you're at the factory, got it. Anyway, you're going right upstairs. We are just across the street from GenCon, and it has been an absolute blast. They're in a first-class organization. They've been so nice to house us here, and even nicer to allow me to abscond into their personal offices, so I could do this show for you folks today. Well, let's pass along my thanks as well. Apple's Android version of Apple Music is out of beta, folks. There is still no Android tablet version of the app, but you can use it on your Android phones, and here are some more top stories. Digital Wallet and password manager Dashlane announced a partnership with Google called OpenYOLO. This time, YOLO stands for You Only Login Once. Not YOLIO for log in. They're spelling log in as one word, and you only log in once. OpenSource API project lets developers access passwords stored in any password manager. Now, the password managers have to get on board and work with this, but OpenYOLO says we're going to target Android apps at first, but eventually we'll have universal implementation across platforms, and leading password managers are involved. They threw out some names to TechCrunch. It's the ones you'd expect, one password, last pass, et cetera. Documentation and code for this is not yet public, so it's a little weird that they're announcing it when they actually don't have a thing for developers to work on yet. Feels a little vapor-y to me, but it's got Dashlane and Google behind it, so I would assume that it is in fact going to be a real thing. And Justin, how much better is this to be able to go into an app, say log me in, it would just go communicate with last pass, let's say, as long as your last pass is properly authenticated on your device, get your password, log you in, you don't have to do anything. This seems to be probably the biggest solvable problem that we have in modern computing, but especially on mobile, that we have yet to, I think, get to where we need to be. You have to look no further than the fact that the first day of the Democratic National Convention was dominated by a hacking scandal that, by the way, will be the new normal. I was not on last week to talk about this kind of stuff, but the idea of big, porous operations where passwords are changed all the time and people come and go that are high value being hacked, certainly going to happen, systems like these where you can work with more encrypted passwords and hand out company phones that are already authenticated for the things that you need, I think would go a long way. I'm excited to see it, but I agree with you. Until we really see code out there, you have security experts look at, make sure that this is what you would expect. This is, they mentioned that they're talking to the big boys in the industry, whether or not they will be a part of it going forward remains to be seen. I'm with you, Tom. Aside from busting out a fire pun with open YOLO, I don't quite know why the announcement now when nothing's totally but enough. Well, yeah, and Dashlane posted before Google had their post up, so there seems to be a little timing issue going on between the two. So, yeah, I want to see that. I get how this could work securely. If this were to catch on though, it would paint an even bigger target on password managers, and as we know, last pass, one password, always under some kind of scrutiny by attackers who want to figure out how to find a vulnerability. Thankfully, they're also under scrutiny from security researchers who find the vulnerabilities and help them get patched. So that is a concern here. I would rather have a just fundamentally more secure system than passwords altogether. Sure. In lieu of that, this is an interesting next step. I mean, listen, if these folks want to market themselves as gringots, then they better have a dragon in the basement. That's all I'm saying. Absolutely. Facebook announced over the next few weeks it will implement changes to its newsfeed algorithm in order to reduce clickbait headlines. Facebook found two main categories of headlines. Its algorithm will identify curiosity gap headlines. Like, you won't believe what Facebook did to its newsfeed and misleading headlines. Like, Facebook eliminates clickbait. The algorithm will limit the reach of offending headlines in the publisher. Trips that clickbait wire multiple times. The publisher itself will get demoted. I am very curious to see where the evolution of headlines are from here because either- You won't believe what the evolution of headlines will be from here, Justin. I mean, the most reputable of online news agencies, including ones that have probably outperformed some of their clickbait-y slideshow-y past. I am looking at you, Buzzfeed, and, you know, Business Insider. Shoot, even TechCrunch, yeah. TechCrunch. They still ride that line. There's a reason why clickbait works. It wouldn't be clickbait if it wasn't so juicy.  Are they at cross purposes?  But the fact of the matter is, most people do want them to edit it somewhere as long as it comes out better. And getting links out of there that I click on and then regret is something I'm gonna like. And they are taking a midway position here by saying we're not going to ban the links. We're just gonna demote them so they don't show up as often, and that's gonna dissuade people from using these kinds of headlines.  And then it turns out that there is one study, one time that showed, you know, one particular breed of cancer or apple might have been linked to cancer. Those I want out. Those entirely misleading headlines. The curiosity gap headlines, on the other hand, are a fairly standard way of doing a headline if you deliver on the promise. So yeah, you know, you won't believe what this policeman found under the bed, and it's a cat. Oh, okay, that won't be a big deal. I could have totally believed that.  That could have been a legitimate headline and I'm fine with that. So I don't know how I feel about this. I have a feeling that this might be a dream too far for Facebook because here's the other thing that I don't quite get. Is this also including ads and boosted posts? Are they going to hammer somebody or make it more punitive for them to buy advertising? Which to me, the clickiest, McBadiest of all headlines are all the sponsored ones, they're all the boosted posts, not necessarily the ones that come from them. Justin, I certainly can't imagine that Facebook would only have this applied in non-paid-for links and somehow as a side effect, an unintended side effect, encourage people to have to pay to get their thing seen. I mean, that's where I think this could totally backfire for them. And I'm curious to see whether or not this is just one of those unenforced laws or if they really stick to it. Yeah, on the whole, I like them getting rid of misleading headlines though, absolutely. Yeah, when SuperSites Richard Hay noticed in a recent install of the Windows Anniversary Update that the option to roll back the update has been reduced from 30 days after you install it to 10 days. So he asked Microsoft about it. Microsoft told Hay that most customers rolled back within a few days. They have data on that and they're like, you know, people really don't need more than three days. So we changed the setting to 10 to free up that storage space that's used by your previous copy and that frees up three to five gigabytes of space.  What would you pick, Tom? I don't know, man. I, give me more control is that's always my mantra, right? So let me customize the amount. Let me choose how many days I want, aha. Thomas always picking this off the board option. You have, you have an A and a B and to me, the answer is clearly, give me that space, give me that space. Honestly, you should always be able to roll back somehow, give me that space, yeah. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation Wednesday designating fantasy sports betting sites like DraftKings and FanDuel as games of skill. That means that the sites are legal in New York which, if you haven't picked up, they were previously illegal but fall under the regulation of the New York State Gaming Commission and will pay new fees to the state. Both sites have been banned since March as it constituted illegal online gambling under existing laws. New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said, he will continue to pursue false advertising and consumer fraud claims against the site. Schneiderman, Schneiderman doing whatever a Schneider can. Which is apparently continue to sue the two companies that he hates the most, DraftKings and FanDuel. I don't know if he hates them the most but it is funny where the state of New York is like, huh, so we can make $4 million a year off these sites by calling them games of skill, sold legislation passed and Schneiderman's like, no, I'm not done suing them, I'm going after them, I'm gonna make sure they stop defrauding people and to be fair, it's if in fact they aren't illegal, they should be allowed to operate but they shouldn't be allowed to falsely advertise or defraud. That's fair. So let's also, because I know we don't deal with a huge swath of sports fans, the idea with these sites is that you can pick for one day in a slate of baseball games, a group of players that will either do well or do poorly.  If you don't, you lose. So it was certainly marketed as gambling. I don't think that that is controversial. No, exactly, because the idea was like, pick players win money, right, win money and it sounds like pick the winning team win money, which is definitely gambling. Yes, and the only reason why this exists is when gambling legislation came in of several years ago, there was a carve out for fantasy sports, that you could still go to Yahoo ESPN and make a league and then through them divvy up the money through all the various organizations. You could still do that. This was the way that you could take this to its furthest conclusion of making it as close to gambling as possible and now New York State, which represents a gigantic slice of that income. New York State is a huge sports betting mecca, which is odd because they don't have legal sports betting, now declaring it a game of skill and yet not gambling legal, which would seemingly do more to kind of resolve a lot of these major problems. But who am I, the governor of New York? No, you're not. Did you speak at the Democratic National Convention? No, you didn't. I was in a rickety tent outside though. Yeah, but you spoke while at the Democratic National Convention. I spoke while Andrew Cuomo was speaking. There you go. Yeah, yo, Doug. So it is a game of skill because you have to decide which players to combine and it's not relying totally on the outcome of one particular game. Sure. But man is it a fine line there. And it's basically New York just saying we would like to make money off this and we don't see a lot of people objecting to it existing.  Nobody's really against it. But at the same time, you've got Eric Schneiderman over there saying, yeah, but these guys are sleazy. They're making claims in their advertising that are false and leading people to throw money away and we need to stop that. So in some ways, maybe this is the best of all possible worlds. Well, it's the only one that kept the money flowing, which is in general where things go. New York State also has been on a bit of a common sense regulation kick recently deregulating or sorry, allowing mixed martial arts fighting, which again has a gigantic fan base within New York State and yet was illegal to do within state borders until, you know, just months ago. So I think this makes sense for all parties involved, although just in case you're wondering, fantasy sports, daily fantasy sports, a game of skill where you pick a bunch of random number generators and find out whether or not they're going to come in, paramutual gambling, picking a bunch of dogs or horses as random number generators to see whether or not they come in in a perfecta or something like that. So can I do fantasy horse racing? Or I like, it's not picking a horse to win a race, I'm picking several horses and deciding where I think they will finish and if I get close then I win money. Well, I mean, they already have that, but it's called paramutual gambling. Right, no, I know, I know. Intel issued a full recall Wednesday for its basis peak fitness wearable. 0.2% of users are affected by reports of overheating that caused burns and skin blisters. The overheating seems related to the LED used to do continuous heart rate monitoring.  They said they tried to do a software fix that would prevent the burning, but they could not do it. So Intel is recalling all basis peak units sold between November, 2014 through June, 2016. They're not recalling the basis B1 fitness tracker. They say that older one is not affected by the issue, but they'll still refund your money on all units and authorized accessories, including the older B1s.  So we'll give you a refund and they're shutting down the basis peak server on December 31st. So another reason why they're giving the refunds is after the end of this year, you won't even be able to use this. So now that we've had wearables in our life for a while and I have now worn my Apple Watch for as long as it has been out, I can certainly say that as I have been more physically active with it, it is the sweatiest piece of technology I have ever used in my life. Like it is something that is designed and asks you, especially if it's a fitness tracker, it asks you to sweat on it. Like it is kind of a marvel that these things have, in my mind, not created more of these situations where you have LEDs and electronics burning skin, considering how sensitive some people's skin is. Yeah, we've seen lots of irritation claims where people say a band is causing them a rash or something like that. But it was the continuous use of the LED rather than having it come on every so often that built up the heat. And I think one of the most interesting things here is even in those skin irritation claims, a lot of times the companies say, well, we don't really think it's our band, we can't show any evidence, but all right, we'll do something. In this case, Intel's like, no, it can do that. Doesn't do a lot, but it can and we can't stop it. So we're shutting down the entire thing. And that is a problem for Intel's wearable strategy because the reason that they bought Bassyspeak in the first place was to jumpstart them into being able to make wearables. Yeah, it is interesting, but it's a major problem for them. Also, who knows? Wearables was so 2015, who knows where they'll be. Implantables, I'm telling you. According to our mid-year report by SpeedTest, the average US broadband speeds surpassed 50 megabits per second for the first time. Huzzah! The new average of 54.97 megabits represent a 42% increase on the year with upload speeds increasing. 51% from 18.88. The data is based on 8 million tests done on SpeedTest websites and mobile apps. Comcast Xfinity, top the charts for download with an average of 125 down. Verizon Fios was fastest up with 93.64. Mobile speed saw a smaller increase of 33% on downloads and 28% on uploads to 19.61 megabits a second and 7.94, respectively. Verizon and T-Mobile tied with 21 down and T-Mobile had the fastest upload with 11.59. T-Mobile has the best LTE performance while Verizon had the better coverage. So memorize those statistics as you watch strangers recite them to you in various carrier ads for the next year and a half. Yeah, absolutely. DJ Khaled will be saying this for T-Mobile shortly. Another one. I think one of the things that will cause a question here is, hold on a minute. Why isn't Google Fiber on here? And Google Fiber's mentioned in the report, but it doesn't have enough rollout to be able to count because they're going by average speeds, they're going by penetration. So Google Fiber obviously is going to have a very good showing on this eventually. You just don't have enough people using it yet. And things like Verizon Fios, which can deliver 500 megabits per second, gigabit speeds only have a download of less than 125 because people aren't paying for those faster packages. Those faster packages are still very expensive. So you're saying this is the average speed that we saw from people who use this. And that's why Comcast is topping the charts because they're able to sell more of their high-speed packages to people. And they've got a few gigabits out there. I'm sure that juices the number a tiny bit. But for now, that's what this is about. And at the same time, a little bit of competition from places like Google Fiber seems to have pushed the speeds up a little bit this year. Well, that's really... Oh, we lost you there for a second, Justin. Yeah, it's not necessarily that Google is not listed on that top 10 list, right? But certainly their legacy and their impact is what jumps this number as far as it jumps, right? To go from 18 to 54.97 has to at some level be because either Google has run out this as big of a rollout as they have, but also the entrenched competitors including AT&T and Comcast have had to compete by offering better and competing services in those neighborhoods as well as for AT&T. One will wait, well, we can all hold our breath while their massive fiber rollout continues. But they've made designs that they are going to be the first big nationwide high bandwidth carrier. Can't wait, can't wait to see. I mean, Oakland was on that list. So I'm sitting outside of my AT&T store waiting every day knocking on the door. Please, sir, can I have some more speed? Hey, thanks to everybody who submits stories. It helps us put this show together every day. PCGuy8088 is in there, Motang's in there, Steve Io's in there, Opsidao is in there. Love that name. Virgil Kane, 6465, haven't seen you in a while. You're in there too, Archmo's in there. Go submit and vote at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. Those are our top stories, but the top story on our subreddit today was this one. The SCC is working on new privacy guidelines. They announced these back on March 31st. I believe we told you about them. They are asking for feedback on guidelines for privacy for ISPs. They would like ISPs to notify their customers what is being collected about them. Any kind of metadata, any kind of web history, anything like that. Notify and let folks know this is what we're collecting. Let them know what is being sold if they're selling any of this information to someone, even an aggregate, even anonymized, even selling the use of it. They want customers to know that. And then give customers the ability to opt out of collection. So in other words, tell the people like, hey, I don't want you collecting things about me anymore. Make it easy for people to go and say opt out. All right. Now, the reason they're doing this is a consequence of making ISPs classified as common carriers. So you already see a battle. This is the next line in the sand, right? Which is the ISP saying, great, we couldn't stop you from classifying us as common carriers, but you won't be putting additional regulations on our privacy collection. And Comcast had a meeting created a filing saying, listen, we're fine with most of these regulations. To be honest, we follow most of them already. But one thing we want to be able to do is give a discount to folks who let us collect privacy information. You know, just a little bit of web history. We're following your rules. We'll tell them everything. We'll say, look, if you want to let us collect this private information, we'll give you a discount, Justin, right? Well, and that's really weird. Hold on, let me explain it again. What these ISPs want to do, Justin, is say, hey, if you want us not to spy on you, if you want us not to collect your private information, fork it over, there's a fee. In fact, AT&T charges $29 to $60 a month extra for them not to collect your web history and use it to deliver advertising. How about that? Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste because I'm gonna have some sympathy for the devil on this one. You're gonna have sympathy for Comcast. Yeah, sure. Tomato, tomato, tomato. And I say that because they're both red. Let's take it like this. Now, I think there is an argument to be made that if, as AT&T is doing, making it comically expensive for you to keep yourself out of that data mining, that's something that we can look at. But let's assume we would live in a world where it is X price for what you have and then they will allow you to discount it if you opt in to this ad management or this information collection so you could be advertised to. We currently, as consumers, accept those kind of deals all the time. We get subsidized phones or kindles that pump advertising to our front pages. Why is this, aside from the fact that Comcast is evil and AT&T is very, very hard to like and that all these ISPs are these big, unlikable, awful structures, why is this inherently a bad idea if people want to take the deal? Because we have as a culture an allergy to privacy. It's one thing for Google to give us Gmail and just not ever bring up the privacy word. You know who brings up the privacy word in relation to Gmail? Microsoft in their market against Google, right? That's a different layer of the land. But in a world where Snowden revelations have come out and ISPs are the least trusted with your private information to have a price tag put on that is something that raises the hackles. And yes, if I am someone who is advocating for consumer privacy, I'm absolutely gonna cast this as they're charging you to not have spying on you. If I'm an ISP, I'm absolutely gonna say no, that's not what we're doing, we're providing a discount. And the fact is, at the end of the day, the question should be forget the ISPs, forget the lobbyists, say should there be a price differential, should they be allowed to give you two different prices that say, hey, if you let us collect your web information and use it to deliver targeted advertising, we'll give you a discount. Should that be allowed? Well, and here's my free market argument. Should you prohibit a consumer from saving the money from the company for that privilege? Should you prohibit the consumer from selling their personal information effectively to their ISP? And should that be the FCC's right? So what I think personally is I don't think the FCC should make a rule that says you can't give a different price based on the usage of customer info. But I think there need to be, if you're gonna allow that, a whole lot of rules about transparency, about what data is allowed to be collected. And in fact, Comcast says it only wants to collect nonsensitive information. In its letter they said we don't wanna collect financial, health, children's information, social security numbers, precise geolocation. I would go even further on that list, but that's a good start to say, hands off this kind of information, you're never allowed to collect that in some kind of commercial situation. But metadata, web history, okay, if the consumer has a fair idea that this is happening and they're willing to give it to you, you have to also abide by very safe practices with it. You have to make sure that it's secure, that it can't be taken, that it's not sold to third parties, that you are the only one that uses it, and Comcast and AT&T both say that. Where it becomes the worst problem is, what you touched on earlier, AT&T's price, which is $531 to $800 a year extra to not get your information collected, and the fact that it's default. When you sign up for AT&T, you essentially sign up to give away your privacy unless you know how to ask them not to, and then they charge you an extra $500 to $800 a year. But look at what these companies are really becoming. What, who just bought Yahoo? Verizon. Who has bought Direct TV? NBC Universal. Comcast. These are all companies that are getting more and more into the advertising game. They are becoming web-based advertising companies. The reason why they are pushing, and here, no more sympathy for the devil. I don't trust any of these companies as far as I can throw them in terms of using my data. I don't like the fact that they are going to draw lines in the sand and say, oh no, we definitely won't touch any of this because you know that they will use it and only pull back on it if they are revealed and proven to have done it. They will take and then ask questions later because that's just what they have had the history of doing. And I don't believe that they have earned the consumer's trust to believe that they will even hold to the bargain that they make, let alone make a fair or reasonable bargain to say, hey, if you want to take this discount, we will only take the following things. However, I can understand why they're pushing back on this considering where their business model continues to go. And also, for them, they're saying, hey, listen, if all anybody else wants to do is turn us into dumb pipes, is turn us into just the way that you get your bits so then you can sell information on top of it. And now that these businesses continue to get bigger and bigger, the arguing for the fast lane kind of stuff becomes a trickier proposition as these media conglomerates that they're negotiating with get larger and larger and can leverage their consumer base against their ISPs. This is how they see, this is the safe path to money for them. Using your, from the source internet data that will be richer and less cluttered than anything that anybody can ever offer and being able to go to all the hashtag brands and say, man, do we have a demo for you? Yeah, no, absolutely right. It's a great point about Verizon. The reason Verizon bought IOL, the reason Verizon bought Yahoo was for that ad tech and that's what they want to do. It is interesting that Verizon isn't speaking up in here. It's Comcast arguing on behalf of only one ISP that's already done at AT&T.  They have some room to relax and say, okay, fine. We'll stop making it so hard to opt out. Okay, we'll lower the price. We won't make it so gougy to do this. But yeah, you absolutely nailed why they want to do it. And to me, it always comes back down to competition which is if you have, as you do in Austin, an AT&T that says, we'll sell you the service for $70 a month but you have to let us use your web history to deliver you ads and you have Google Fiber that is saying, we'll sell you to it for $70 a month and that's it. We don't collect anything on the ISPN. Then you have a fair apples to apples comparison for customers to make on which one they would like to do and that's the end of it to me. Most places don't have that though. And this goes back to everything that we've said about this FCC and the common carrier stuff is that ultimately we can push this rock up hill with these companies and we can try to do our best but you're right, nothing solves it like competition. Nothing, I as an internet professional who relies on his interconnection and my wife relies on our internet connection to make up the lion's share of our household income, I would love to get into a business relationship with an ISP that I trust and I can't because nobody comes close to the speeds that Comcast does and it is cost prohibitive and in many ways this is a collusion that goes far beyond the ISPs, it goes through the local regulations like this is a large, very, very hard nut to crack but until it is cracked and maybe that's by new technology that doesn't force you to bury stuff then we're still gonna be dealing with this and they will drag their heels every inch that they can to make sure that when this dust settles they have the best deal they can get for the next 30 years. Yeah, W Scott is one of the chat rooms says, ah, just use a VPN. Try to foil that deep packet inspection that AT&T is doing and maybe that's way to take it into your own hands too. Let's get to our pick of the day from Michael O'Neill. Yesterday we were talking about credential management for enterprise customers, the idea of having like a last password, one password at the enterprise level and of course earlier in the show today we talked about this new YOLO, you only log in once platform and Michael said I wanted to plug a solution I use at work which has been great for us called Secret Server made by a company called Thicotic that is T-H-Y-C-O-T-I-C he says it's a great piece of software allowing for a locally hosted solution which I use and a cloud hosted one which he doesn't I guess. It has the browser plugin like LastPass to plug in passwords on web pages along with launchers for remote desktop and putty. There's a free version along with paid versions with additional features. We use the professional edition I've been quite happy with it overall. I use LastPass at home and enjoy it but for work we require something we could host in our data center and LastPass didn't have that so we used Thicotic's Secret Server. In the enterprise version it actually has a feature to automatically rotate account passwords if your IT company still requires that. Anyway, he just wanted to give a plug for that. We'll have a link to the show notes. You know, I'll tell you what, I think that they could probably pick up an account with the Democratic National Committee. Send your pics to us folks. Speed back at dailytechnewshow.com you can find more pics at dailytechnewshow.com slash pics, couple messages of the day. Ryan thinks we hit the nail on the head about people wanting to own digital things when we were talking about cartridges. His full-time job is a DJ and he buys a lot of music digitally. He says, I think about the music I inherited from my grandparents that I still enjoy to this day. My children and grandchildren will not be able to enjoy that with the digital media I purchase so anything I want to be able to hold onto for a long period of time, I want to be able to pass on, I buy on CD or even better on vinyl. I don't know how many current video games will eventually want to pass down but the idea of having a cartridge to pass down to his children seems to be appealing to Ryan. Maybe it's when you get older and you start thinking more about mortality and your life and the physical biomarkers but I don't know if I've mentioned it here. I really, I have never looked at myself as like, oh I want to collect cards or figurines or autographs or any of that kind of stuff but there's one thing that if I made a lot more money that I would probably wind up buying at least it's just something that I can't fully explain is old tech. Man, I would love to own my old, this is like the thing and I'll eventually wind up breaking down and buying it but the old five gig Mac only FireWire iPod for whatever reason I just have this fetish for it. I just, I want it which is a complication on top of what he said which is like, yeah we want physical media. I long for the day that we just had the simplest version of the digital aggregator for online media so I very much understand it. I don't know what you mean, Justin. Yeah, what is that, is that a razor? Original Motorola razor away. And we can talk some more about it. Matthew points out in your discussion on TP Link being forced to play nicely with open source firmware. It was stated that we might see an uptake in TP Link sales now. I doubt that this will be the case since TP Link has done the absolute minimum to block other firmware from being installed in their products. All they did was change the header on the new official firmware. When you went to update the firmware it would take a look at the new header and if not, if it didn't find it it would reject the update. Someone modified this and made a version with the new header that would accept the firmware with either. So instead of once, you updated twice but it doesn't get much easier. Of course, this is an oversimplification of things but I'm just a computer network tech and router hacking enthusiast in old Quincy, Illinois. Quincy, that's where my grandpa was born. That's nice. Hey, that's a cool tip actually for people who have older TP Links too. Granted TP Link is gonna have to make this easier going forward. But yeah, if you've got an old TP Link that you wanna put some open firmware on you can do it with this little workaround. Thank you for sending that, Matthew. And thank you Justin and Robert Young for joining us. As always, let folks know again what's been going on with you.

The Diamond Club hopes you have enjoyed this program. We knew! What was that? What? What was the we do? No, we do. We hope you enjoy this program. We do. Yeah. Diamond Club, yeah. We do. Diamond Club's looking good these days. I know, right? Looking fine. All right, guys, I'm gonna clear out of this office. All right, yeah, thanks to you. Thank you for bringing people again for us. That was awesome. Cool. And then I'll work on that guest for you for those weeks. When is, yeah, I'm sure I have that in my thing. All right, I love you guys. All right, bye. Bye. I'll just CC him. I'll CC him. I need a haircut. My head looks like a grapefruit. Let's tie tolls. Perhaps not. You won't believe what DTNS is doing now. Click here to find out more. Yeah, OK, right. Clickbait is gone. You won't believe what happened next. I like that one. That was a little better, yeah. That was a little better. I'll put that one. No disrespect, strike it rich. Yours was a fine effort, but I like to spin. Well, you won't believe what Facebook is doing to clickbait. Yeah, OK. You won't believe what Facebook did.   I love that one. Peak didn't start the fire, it was always burning. Yeah, but I'm not a Billy Joel fan, so. As funny as it is, no Billy Joel. I do like Clickbait is gone. You won't believe what happened next, though. That's just perfect, I think, so far. All right, if you say so. Well, I do say so, but I mean, it's also the highest-voted one so far. But it's worth working with. The people in Roger Chang agree. That's what we used to call from Dateline NBC. The answer may surprise you. Is fluoride helping or harming your family? Five chemicals, five deadly chemicals you might find in your bathroom. What was the other one? It had to do with checks, like basically a scam where people could take a check that you issue out or write to someone and they could pull off the ink. So it's back to being a blank check and they could rewrite on it. But I mean, you had to have a lot of time on your hands to want to do that. I mean, a lot of time on your hands. It's that easy, it's that easy. We won't tell you what kind of pen ink we used. Yeah, you used a raceable pen ink. That's the only reason why I'm so used. I'm only checking pencil, I don't understand. So we're just erased it. You know, it's great that people don't say film at 11. Now they just say like, you know, wait or check out our website. Follow us on Twitter. Tune in at 11. Tune in to our Twitter app. Where we tweet at you all the things that are happening on tonight's news. There's sports news, local news. Local news is the thing that still has not been fixed by the internet because everybody wants scale, right? The big advantage of internet is I got the whole world as an audience. Why would I want to do local news? Most of the world doesn't care about that. SF Gates, very interesting because that was the online form of the San Francisco Chronicle and it covers a lot of local news. What I've noticed is that none of them cover, do any kind of weird comprehensive coverage. Like instead of doing the San Francisco Bay Area, they'll do San Francisco and maybe one or two stores because they're high profile in the area. Right. It would be better if they could at least condense that into, because you always want to know what's happening.  LA Times is the same way and I think SF Gates still does international coverage too. Yeah. Yeah, so they're acting like a newspaper. That's what a newspaper did and it's interesting. I'm not saying that that's wrong, but I still feel like local coverage is lacking in a way that the internet could make it. I mean, anybody can publish, right?  Stop jumping up to do that. I wonder if there's a way to take street sheets, the homeless newspaper, but actually make them journalists, give them like little cameras and microphones and since they're already on the beat, so to speak. Live stream. Live stream. Like this is happening right now in front of the CBS downtown by the wharf. And it's just a couple of buskers fighting over. Well, again, I just think the whole system for funding startups is against local unless you have scale, right? So you see things like next door launch because they're like, well, we'll bring a bunch of communities together in one massive platform that will get scale, but in little local initiatives, don't get a lot of interest. Oh, someone put a strike in Rick's head. Is Shobot rigged? Scandal at 11. Cause he had the number two. Yes, bumcams. Imagine the straps to your bum. Yeah, fanny packs. Yeah. If you can't say that in Britain, suppose it was fanny pack is something completely else. Different. Ah, the variability of language. I know. I was still taking it back when I was in Japan and they referred to thongs as Japs. It's like, what? In Japan, they do. Well, in Australia, that's what they refer to. Oh, in Australia they do. Like flip flops or just like jab. What? You can say that. No. You can say that. Oh, my shoulder. Falling apart, Roger. I am. That sucks, getting older. Hopefully one of these days we'll be able to build to order a new body and just transplant our brain or brain spinal cord. It's Uber for body parts. They drive you around until you find something or you just... Whoa, this is a good one. Hacker News, how to listen when you disagree. This is really interesting. It's urbanconfessional.org. It is very hard to listen when you disagree. Which is why it's so easy to take part in or listen to situations you have no skin in. This is like, it doesn't affect me. Hear the biography, not the ideology. When someone has a point of view we find difficult to understand, disagreeable or offensive, we must look to the set of circumstances that person has experienced that resulted in that point of view. I think the other thing to understand is just because you don't like a person or don't necessarily agree with their views doesn't mean whatever information they give at that point in time is somehow tainted. If some guy used to be a big media mogul and he was used to screwing over the little guys at work and then he has a great idea for a project or something, he's like, well, no, that sucks. It's just you just want the money. You just want blah, blah, blah. You might want the money, you may not. You never know. Just listen to him. Urbanconfessional.org slash blog slash how to disagree is the link. I disagree with a barrel of pitch and tar and a bag full of feathers. And a rail that you're gonna ride. Wait, Roger's going full carboni. Wait, what's that in reference to? Did carboni do something about getting a new body or not listening? Yeah, no, he wants to replace all those body parts. Talks about it on We Have Concerns all the time. I don't want to replace all my body parts. I just want a new body instead of doing a piecemeal. Well, I think that's the idea, yeah. But definitely I want to be taller. I mean, if you had the choice between replacing some ailing body parts or nothing, you would still choose to replace the body parts now. Yes, I would like to upgrade the organ that regulates my aging process and go back to, back when I was, actually maybe not high school because I don't want to deal with that. Is there such an organ? I don't know. But it is a hormonal thing, isn't it? Like there's a point where you're- I know that we know for sure. I know we think there's something to do with telomeres because they shorten and all that, but I don't know that we've figured out exactly what does it. Well, we're just, this is all pretend anyway. It's not like I can go out to Toys R Us and get me a body built in. Yet. I want to show gun warrior body with cool missile launchers. Toys R Us kid, I was created through parts. There's a million, million parts of me at Toys R Us. Actually, that sounds really creepy, like a Toys R Us movie into the body parts store. You know, the one thing I remember about Toys R Us was the, was it real people? Like what are those really, or that's incredible about the haunting at the Toys R Us? They would have a grainy film of like, it's always grainy. Like the toys playing by themselves. It's like, ooh. It's like, wait a minute, isn't that one of those robots you just turn on and they play? Like they just do this. No, no, it's way different than that. That's not it at all. Sir. It's like those ghost hunters. When they go into a house and they scream at something. It's like, well, whoa.  Yeah, you have to offer a sacrifice. I should watch one of those. Preferably the dumber member of the cast and then play the music from the Omen. You have a lovely singing voice. I know, I was in choir for two years. I hated it, because I always had to wake up early Sunday and go to mass. All right. We have got ourselves a published show, Roger Chang. What do you think of that? I think it's awesome with a bucket of juice. Thank you for watching. We'll bring you more juice tomorrow.


This study demonstrated that pomegranate peel waste could be used to create cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and high-quality activated carbon. The activated carbon was then used to immobilize lac case enzymes which were able to break down a variety of emerging pollutants including declofenac, amoxicillin, carbamazepine, and ciprofloxacin. The optimal conditions for immobilization included a pH of 4, 35°C and a lac case concentration of 2.5 milligrams per milliliter. The results showed that the immobilized lac case had a higher surface area than the non-immobilized lac case, indicating that the immobilization process increased the surface area of the activated carbon. Additionally, the immobilized lac case was more effective at removing pollutants from water compared to the non-immobilized lac case. The results also indicated that the immobilized lac case was better suited for use in wastewater treatment due to its ability to break down multiple pollutants simultaneously. Overall, this study demonstrates that pomegranate peel waste can.


Hey fellow reading warriors, and welcome to today's video I recently uploaded a tiktok after doing my most recent video of my reactions to Booktok videos. I had so much fun filming that it was a very interesting process for me But I just really enjoyed having it and so now I have created my own booktok account And I've been creating quite a bit of content But also I don't know if like tiktok would consider it a bit of content But like I'm gonna try and upload at least one thing every day So if you're interested in following me there click down below in the description You can also find all of my other social media down there including my books to gram my book twitter and my good reads So I just wanted to throw that in there because oh I am obsessed with booktok It's consuming my life just like I knew it would but yeah, what are we gonna do now? It's too late Anyway now getting into today's video the idea of this video was Books with worlds where I would love to travel to or to experience as if it were a summer vacation And so yeah, I mean there's really not much else to it I'm just gonna go ahead and start talking about the books and why I'd want to visit their worlds So the first one I feel like it's such a classic and if you've read it you can probably relate but I Would love to go to Camp Half-Blood this summer Are you kidding me a summer at Camp Half-Blood would be amazing for so many different reasons There is actually an Olympic game read-a-thon coming up So it could almost be like I am going to Camp Half-Blood which would be phenomenal and maybe a TBR for that might be coming up in Next week's video ish So stay tuned for that and if you want to stay tuned for it You can always click subscribe and hit the bell notification so that you can see that video But I know from doing the Olympic game read-a-thon in the past that I am most likely a daughter of Apollo and honestly I grew up fencing Doing archery and I even did rifle re-ed a summer camp for a couple years in a row So I feel like even though I am a skinny lass I might slightly stand a chance with my other half-siblings of Apollo at Camp Half-Blood and just Do the summer camp activities do some training really get in shape just meet other like-minded people Yes, please Yes, please now this next one is interesting because it might require a bit of an explanation But I would honestly love to go to the island that the house of sultan sorrow by Aaron and Craig takes place on So the story technically yes is like a horror-y thriller But like it takes place on an island and it has beaches and it's you know It's it's a classic like touristy kind of place if you just get rid of the horror Elements of this 12 dancing princesses retelling So like like I said, it's a world. I would want to visit not necessarily a plot I would want to be a character in especially because there's a good chance. I would have died Very good chance, so I would love to Visit this island and have fun on the beach because it's summer Next place I would love to visit Would have to be the heavens so star about air by shventa that could are most of it takes place up in The sky in the heavens with the stars and just the description of this book Sounds so beautiful Everything would be beautiful and artsy and magical and bright shining It just sounds like a beautiful perfect place to relax Have some fun listen to good music read some books, you know, it just It would be beautiful and it would be chill and bright and I feel like that's just such a perfect summary thing to do and Definitely something we need after a year like we've had and the final book that I have on this list might also be a little odd The school for good and evil by son and China me So technically yes Visiting the world for this would be very interesting. Obviously. I mean I would love to visit the schools even though it's summer just to like walk around the halls or You know just see the classrooms see the grounds would be so fun and so cool Not to mention go to that bookstore where the kids can buy all the fairy tales either before they're captured or if they're never captured I just It would be a magical place to be fairy tale in every sense Obviously I would love to see both the school for good and the school for evil just to have some time But it's summer so there wouldn't be any classes in session. I wouldn't have to Go through either a beauty class or like a how to poison someone class I wouldn't I wouldn't take them because it's summer but I would definitely explore the grounds and see the classrooms and see the beautiful architecture of the schools and Maybe go camping in the woods. Honestly, I love camping if you didn't know that go ahead and check out my Camping reading vlog video You'll see that I do love camping, but thank you for watching I know this was kind of a shorter list and that's just come to realize because most of the worlds that I read that are created are Generally dystopian and you don't necessarily want I don't necessarily want to go to a dystopian world I would rather go to it as utopian But I'm considering that's really not how most of them are. I'm good I also did not want to include contemporaries as they are taking place in our world But there were definitely some books where I was like, oh, I would love to be there in real world Like because it just be a nice little vacation. So these were just a few Books that I would love to travel to certain parts of just to have a small relaxing vacation If you enjoyed this video, please let me know by giving it a thumbs up Please comment down below where you would travel to again same rules kind of apply of it Can't be somewhere set in our world. Obviously we all love well not obviously we all love to travel But like I love to travel and I will be traveling soon safely Don't worry, but just in preparation for that I was thinking about all the different places that we would love to go So if there's any world or specific place within a world of a book that you would want to travel Let me know down below then I can definitely read the book if I haven't and understand where you're coming from Also, like I said, feel free to subscribe I post videos every week on Thursdays and hit the bell icon to be notified when I do subscribe When I do upload a video But yeah, as I said all my socials are down in the description below and You can go follow me there. It'll be so much fun. It's all bookish content So it never stops ending and until I see you all in the next video. I wish you a happy reading


workshop okay and we're going to start by doing body scum meditation very short just for three minutes so please adopt the posture that you already know sit on the verge of your chairs backs upright in upright position so let's start with a brief mindful meditation practice to relax your body and focus your mind you can do this guided meditation on your own three to six days per week for four weeks and so research suggests that people who practice the body scan for longer rip more benefits from these practice the body scan can be performed while lying down sitting or in other postures and this one is designed to be done while sitting so close your eyes and let's start begin by bringing your attention into your body you can close your eyes if that's comfortable for you you can notice your body is seated wherever you are seated feeling the weight of your body on the chair on the floor whatever you're sitting take a few deep breaths and as you take a deep breath bringing more oxygen and life in the body and as you exhale have a sense of relaxing more deeply you can notice your feet on the floor notice the sensations of your feet touch in the floor the weight and pressure vibration heat you can notice your legs against the chair pressure pulsing heaviness lightness notice your back against the chair now bring your attention into your stomach area if your stomach is tense or tight let it soften and take a breath notice your hands are your hands tense or tight see if you can allow them to soften notice your arms feel any sensation in your arms and let your shoulders be soft notice your neck and your throat let them be soft relax soften your jaw let your face and facial muscles be soft and notice your whole body present and take one more breath be aware of your whole body as best you can and take a breath and then when you're ready you can open your eyes good morning welcome back okay so welcome again to this workshop as you can see on the first slide the title of this workshop is past butterfly posing active listening emotions and meditation in the bilingual classroom and let me start by drawing your attention to the quote that you can see on this slide by Tran Tzu who is an Oriental wise man an Oriental sage as you probably know the old India in their knowing ancient wise men knew that sometimes it was hard to draw a clear dividing line between the waking world and the world of dreams so Tran Tzu once said I dreamed I was a butterfly fluttering either and either then I awoke now I wonder am I a man who dreamed of being a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man there's a very puzzling story as you can see and in subsequent years this story was revisited by other amin and man of letters such as the Argentinian what he Luis Borges who also wrote short stories about the same notion the notion that at times is difficult to say where dreams end and where reality begin okay why this title for this presentation why post post butterflies posing and I want to I want you to pay attention to post and posed this is different they are causing homophones but they are not well a post butterfly stops flying for the fraction of a second it sits on a flower petal on a tree bow or on a blade of grass to simply exist as it out of time for a while whereas a post butterfly is something different a post butterfly is the term that we used to refer to our yoga posture to a yoga asana and well we need to be paused and posed at the same time to make the most of these experience in this workshop so now forget about the world and just be present here and now that's why we have studied this session with a body scan meditation well this is what we are going to do in today's workshop our goals our objectives are three of the first one is to introduce you to active listening skills active listening is fundamental when it comes to doing mindfulness when it comes to cultivating design thinking in a classroom and it is of the essence in your everyday personal lives as well so that's the first thing active listening skills the second objective is going to be to do a bit of meditation different kind of different kinds of meditation practices and the third goal has to do with time management so you probably know time is one of the main sources of stress in our everyday lives because we always have an endless list of things to do every day but our time is limited every day has just 25 hours and we have to try and learn to make the most of them so we look at different ways of making the most of time and we'll introduce the concept of the time matrix so those are the three objectives for this lesson of course we'll be talking about emotions that was the luminous metaphor that I have tried to explain to you before so what are emotions and why are they important let's have a look at these three different definitions that we have come across in different dictionaries according to the Oxford English Dictionary an emotion is an instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reason in our knowledge according to the Marianne Webster Dictionary an emotion is a conscious mental reaction subjectively experienced a strong feeling usually directed to work specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavior changes in the body and the last definition is a composite definition drawing on a number of definitions that we have come across in different sources emotions are responses to significant internal and external events they're usually brief in duration and consist of a coordinated set of responses which may include verbal physiological behavioral and neural mechanisms when emotions as you probably know as well are different from feelings for moods and from effects when going and we're not going to go into these details but you should know that they are not the same feelings aren't something completely different feelings are a subjective representation cultural representation of emotions as experienced by an individual but interestingly enough the word emotion is very curious it goes back in time according to some experts on emotion research to the very origins of language human language and actually you you find the word emotion in lots of different languages across the world and it looks almost the same the first appearance of the word as such happened in the 16th century in French but if you look at the root of the etymology of the word emotion comes from from the Latin a mobile which means to move outside so it is as if you were projecting certain states of mind outside of yourself towards the world why are emotions important well basically they are a survival mechanism and we need them which are the universal emotions can you name them happiness is it a universal emotion sadness anger fear is love a universal emotion or is it a feeling could be both well there's no consensus amongst researchers but love is not one of the basic universal emotions sorry those are seven basic emotions so we have mentioned some of them already happiness sadness anger fear surprise disgust ask this universal as well and some scholars at a seventh universal emotion which is content the pressure there's a very interesting scholar by the name of Paul Eggman he has been doing research on emotions for over 40 years and one of his most important findings is that people all over the world regardless of their linguistic or cultural background can recognize this seven emotions even in pre-literate societies in societies where people have not been exposed to the media or to writing people can recognize these seven emotions in other people in other people's faces facial expression that's very curious and well he he did a very intensive research in Papua Guinea New Guinea and he found out that people can recognize them straight away right a few years later 1986 this man Robert Plutnik came up with the wheel of emotions according to Plutnik there are eight universal emotions and he decided to group them on a positive or negative basis he said there are four pairs of emotions joy versus sadness anger versus fear trust versus disgust and surprise versus anticipation but have a closer look at this wheel of emotions if you pay attention to this well you will realize that emotions exist on a sort of continuing of intensity so for example look at rage anger is the universal emotion but in much in much the same way you combine primary colors to produce secondary colors you can combine primary emotions to produce or to make more complex emotions so you've got anger rage which in terms of intensity is you know much stronger and then you've got anointment so the same applies to all eight basic emotions according to Plutnik just have a look at this wheel again and try to position yourself within this will of emotions how do you feel right now are you experiencing joy or serenity just talk to your partner for one minute where do you position yourselves within the wheel of emotions talk to your partner right now yes why don't we take another breath together is it okay with you okay let's sit in the meditation position okay we are going to breathe together in the group this is a way of taking everybody's in so if you're in class it is a way of fostering the feeling of belonging to the group so I really recommend you to use this activity whenever you're in class and students are tired nervous they feel unease so when they are in an unease situation or feeling nervous or they're not able to connect bring them together just by asking them to seat putting their feet on the floor staying in upright position and then why don't you try to say good morning to everyone just by looking at people so I look at people and don't say anything just look I pass my eyes through everybody's faces I look at them and then I close my eyes and when you close your eyes you put your hands in your lap you feel your body sitting right here in this moment trying to bring your mind which may be wandering away moving far away jumping from one thought to the other in a monkey fashion our monkey mind is going up going down jumping here going there but we find these doing that and we bring it back to our breathing and to our body and to our present moment now together I want to invite you to wish a very good morning to everybody by taking one deep breath are you ready inhale good morning guys exhale good morning guys how are you today one more time inhale good morning how are you today exhale you can now in your eyes smile good morning okay now when we talk about emotions we cannot talk about emotions from here we cannot use our minds to talk about emotions because emotions are not here if we talk about emotions from here not from here we are not doing anything so by asking you as we do it in which emotion are you today you would start thinking well I am so your monkey mind goes crazy trying to find a nice word to say today I'm happy today I'm bored today I'm so we start mixing up emotions feelings moods my partner my colleague she has just explained to you this list of emotions which are said to be universal these emotions are universal and for example Echman and also the other scholar they were trying to explain all these emotions when we distinguish between a good emotion and a bad emotion we're making a mistake do you believe that emotions are either good or bad they are not all of them are necessary all of them why then do you think that we say that emotions are good or bad because of which feeling so you are having an emotion and where do you feel emotions you feel emotions in your bodies which is the difference between an emotion and a feeling an emotion is universal and it is felt in your body a feeling appears when we humans develop language so some some feelings exist in some languages but not in others so these feelings are cultural but emotions are universal when we talk about good and bad do you remember that we were saying that we have to adopt a beginner's mind a beginner's mind means that we should try to avoid attaching to things because they are really pleasant or saying no to things because they are unpleasant don't you remember when we were saying be with the unpleasant be with the pleasant trying to adopt perspective well when we have unpleasant feelings these feelings are associated with those emotions that we call bad emotions they are not bad they are absolutely necessary to survival humans need emotions we are now going to play a short video clip from a very very interesting film that we believe that you may sing inside out have you seen it yes no well those of you who haven't seen the film I really recommend it is amazing not just for children I have to say not for children so I'm going to invite you to take a look and to observe and to watch and to inhale the film and then I'm going to ask you some questions about the emotions that we have there and we're going to be talking about these emotions we're going to be working on emotions and then I will go deeper and deeper in you so you will have to explore yourselves if you don't want to share you don't have to share because this is private so we will respect at all times your privacy but we're going to invite you to do this because if we want to make sure that our children our students become familiar with their own emotions are able to recognize them are able to talk about them first we adults need to do this all right
