How is it to Kawwata police this morning and the events that characterised your visit? As it is now common knowledge, the police detained our security general in Kawwata yesterday and they kept him overnight. As of this morning, I wanted to go and check on him and ascertain the situation, why they were held him. Our members of the Central Committee responsible for the media and the Public Relations Ambassador Mambamans many others went there this morning to go and check on him, but they didn't find him. And it is already common knowledge that they had removed him in the area hours to Chelsea Police, where subsequently of course he has been arrested and charged. And given police bond, but in the aftermath of having taken him away from Kawwata no one knew where he was because there was no communication. And I think when Ambassador Mambamans and a few other colleagues were checking on him this morning insisting that they be told where he was. That's when an altercation arose where I would say it should have been an infringement of the law leading to the incarceration of Mr Mambamans. So when that was brought to my attention, I rushed to Kawwata Police to check on the Ambassador Mambamans but to find out what's happening. Of course by that time they had already released the SG and in the campan of our vice president Dubinda I went to check on where the situation was. When we arrived there of course I told the police that we come in peace we want to be here for a few minutes and just get to know why we are holding on to our man and we are arresting him, let us know what charge and so that we can prepare ourselves with the police man in charge. I don't know what his name is, what his rank is just insisting that we shouldn't have been there we are bringing confusion to the police station it's better he deals with us from outside and so on. But since the lawyer was there and I was persuaded to beat the mother in the hand of the lawyer but later I was told that it is clear that the police were under instructions that it should not allow me, as long as it is me Edgar Chagwarung but shouldn't be allowed access to the gentlemen who was being held in the custody but my response to this was look for my Zambian citizen and try to do all the rise forget about the fact that I have been present previously that neither takes away or adds anything to my rise I should have been given the reason why they are holding him an explanation would have been sufficient and if that was needed for me to see him or not to see him at that point would have told me come at 12.30 or wait until we deal with these matters so I feel I was feeling very badly and then they were threatening that they would call in reinforcement of course of policemen and throw tear gas at us like they did in the morning but my response to that was I'm not afraid of bringing tear gas I'm not afraid of being shot dead and I must make this very clear that when I came back into politics those of you who have good memory will remember that on that date in October 28th 2023 when I commemorated in the passing of Mr Sata I did say that I'm not afraid of being shot dead I'm not afraid of being killed in the process of doing what I'm doing but I believe in it and so I'm telling the police that you hold your horses the policemen should hold their horses and behave in a civil manner because what will happen is that my precipitated situation where presentation is forced to give up power sooner than later before 2026 I'm saying so because people will rise you know what I had happened this morning when the police were tear gasing citizens in Kawata because they wanted to check on the Nakachina who was incarcerated there it's uncode for all they could have done was just explain to the people where Nakachina was get the information across to them without trying to intimidate the more they try to intimidate us in fear of being arrested by being cast the more they annoy people let them focus on the real issues which are facing the government the high cost of living and the drought which has come and a lot of other things poor health poor education because they don't want to trigger another controversy but the truth of the matter is that the government has enough work to do as opposed to fighting fear for the opposition and I as president of fear will not allow it to be get it by arrest all over today is Nakachina tomorrow it's Lovinda the other day it's Moamba you can arrest all over if you want but you will not relent because ours is to save the people and speak for the people but you say no but you failed yes we failed but they will double failed if they saturate they have not done anything you know you cannot win political power by propaganda and deceit and form government and sustain it by propaganda and deceit doesn't make like that if you win government by propaganda and deceit in this you form government you should quit deceit you should quit propaganda and seek on the truth and even go back to the people and say what we said was meant to just convince you to support us now that you have supported us we can only do the following things and apologize to the people that's what you do you just can't keep on increasing deceit and falsehoods thinking that you are going to keep people at peace people riot they want to be fear or any other political party inside them because they are tired so that they focus they still 2.5 years to make good what they promise and when they make good people might forgive them and give them space in 2026 but if they continue harassing us beating us teargasing us 2.5 years it won't help them and I am saying this because I wish you always know even in matters of the heart those of you who are romantic you can coax again for giving a nice story romantic stories, fantasies and love when you get her close to you the game showing the truth and apologize and that was sweet talk but now we are in real situation this is what we can do and this is what we can do but when you are happy in marriage you don't mean happy in marriage after sweet talk in your wife but the wonder of the truth I do not have what I promised but what I promised was just part of the art and the game but the most important thing is what I have for you is the following some yans are not valuable they can see that this guy is lying but having lied their way to the office and got in state of power they should stop lying and just on up do the tropical thing police will not help them police will just help them lose power faster than the failures they have incalcated upon themselves and cost with hundreds interesting, you in silence what would be your message to PF members across the country and if I may generalize the members of the UK alliance UK alliance comprising eight, nine political parties PF is part of it and I think I want to assure you that we want to synchronize our relationship come out of common positions and then speak as one voice act as one entity and go to the battle as one starting from the grass roots UKa has come to stay UKa has come to stay and PF is very much part of UKa and anyone who has issues with UKa just wait and verify because we intend to have a meeting between the central committee women of parliament and indeed the president and the vice president and other so that we discuss the ramification of what UKa is and so on PF remains a political party and PF remains an associate or part of UKa and together we will unseat this government in 2026 using it now for me and be able to bring dignity to the people again Thank you


Hi, everyone. Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com, coming at you with our last filler for hip-raid basketball. It's Jaspys exclusive that's coming up in the next video. But first, let's do a Chronicles Fat Pack break when I'm 64. Thanks to Chris and Wen Shun for splitting this pack. Let's do the break first and then let's see who wins the most spots. Ideally, it'll be five and five for each of you, but let's see. Five and a two, seven times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, and seven. Of course, as always, we'll do a different dice roll for the giveaway part. Five and a two, seven times for the teams, two. We've got Raptors down to Jazz. All right, there's the first half of the list right there and the second half of the list right over here. Let's alphabetize by team Print and Rip. Jerome Robinson, Dante DiVincenzo, LeBron James. Hey, we got this guy in the NBA finals right here, Michael Porter Jr. It's going to go to Denver and that'll be for Chris and Wen Shun. You'll get that LeBron James. LeBron's parallels are exclusive to this set here, to these bat packs or value packs or whatever you want to call them. All right, now if you're keeping track, if you're keeping score at home, I think last time Chris got six of the ten spots. Let's see how it works out this time. So we've got all the names, let's roll it, let's randomize it three times. Top ten after three gets into the hit parade break. Good luck to both of you. One, two, and three. All right, so let's see how it shakes out. All right, both have two right there and looks like here's the top ten Wen Shun with one, two, three, four, five, six spots. Carl with four, so the reverse of last time. After three. So there you go. I'll see both of you in the next video for the break, jaskiescasebrakes.com. Bye-bye.

lipstick I'm wearing this matte glam bomb and longy and that's all the makeup she gonna do today that's about it I look shiny as hell but my skin is clearing up get some tea the weather has changed here it is cooler and I'm gonna tell you what Phoenix people are weird as hell I mean once it drops under 80 degrees they bring out girl they they have on scarves mittens gloves I'm like it's just 79 what are you doing sis so right now it's actually as cool as 65 of a high of 65 but that's still not cold to me but these people are like they wouldn't look when I dropped off JP today at school they wouldn't allow the kids to play outside because it's too cold so they have all the kids in the gym and it was probably 59 I appreciate that to keep the babies in the warm and it was certain age groups gives me fourth grade and under that's okay but I'm like this is the perfect weather for kids to be outside but whatever all right y'all let me cut to the chase today I will be retwisting my hair because I just got finished reviewing a lotty body we like the body the lot of body products and so I'm going to be retwisting my hair using kinky tresses if you're interested in these products I do have a review on them one of the best products I have used to date for twist I'm not even saying that just to be this is bomb that come especially this coconut mango hair butter absolutely love this very thick and I've been using this often on since I purchased the um the products um yeah this is the lotty body and I knew she wouldn't hold up because I it's not necessarily that I did this on blonde out hair um I didn't use in the products but that's okay I was I got the look I was aiming for and that's all that matters right so but yes look at that girl all that boy that's a cute hairstyle I'm serving you 80s pop that's cute huh so but we can't go around like that because she will throw out um it's really useless to do a part on on my hair because you can't even see when I part my hair because you can't even see my scalp so I'm just going to go ahead and section off my hair yeah I have a couple of things I want to talk about but you know how it is girl I start talking and we go down that rabbit hole and I absolutely love this time of the year I love fall I love hallmarking lifetime movies Christmas I know how I was last year um I was fit to be tied girl because they were playing Christmas movies because it was Christmas in July on hallmark and you know I just love this feeling as a family togetherness and I just love it now I'm not here for all the pumpkin spice have y'all been seeing all this foolery I saw it starting a month ago pumpkin spice pumpkin spice cereal I'm even like punk pumpkin spice lattes I used to be on that kick a couple of years ago but I don't even drink coffee from Starbucks anymore um I'll have their tea now now I used to be it and you know definitely would drink their coffee but it's too overpriced I can get four cups for the price of one there at home so y'all let me hush up and put my hair up section it off hell it's cute just like this um so girl in these youtube streets so I saw I don't know what has been going on with youtube as far as notifications because I know a couple of months ago I've seen you guys complain about it well let me back up last year youtube unsubscribed from from some people unless I had a moment where I was upset and just started unsubscribing from a lot of people would know youtube unsubbed me from a couple of people not a lot like four or five then I stopped getting notifications or stopped seeing people's videos and I don't know if I don't know how you know everything works on youtube even as a content creator I don't know I don't want to in those meetings I don't be reading any of the blogs or anything like that I guess my point is I was not seeing videos of people whom I would subscribe to it could be two or three four videos they have posted and I don't see those videos and those videos are getting traffic so I'm wondering why I don't have these on my playlist I feel like I should be able to see you know if someone posted a new video even if I don't have the notification so at this point I go ahead and click that notification bell if I definitely want to see someone's videos because it's not guaranteed you know what I mean so border hammer is back I had no idea and I'm so upset because I'm a huge fan of hers I started watching her back when I was wearing wigs because she would do wig reviews those you don't know it's her name is border hammer and she's mostly known for her wig reviews but she's she's very random um she talks about personal life her family life um uh wig reviews makeup she has great impeccable fashion sense she's in her big 40s she has um older children which I appreciate but yeah I missed two of her videos and she's back and she's been posting and that video is a month was a month ago and I just I just got it as a suggestion after watching someone else's video I'm like but this video is a month oh why am I just not seeing this in my suggestion fees so anyway um this was last night so I didn't get the chance to go back and watch her video but I definitely I like her really do now she did I know I'm gonna come up a little bit of not drama but I'm just gonna keep it real she did have one video that got a lot of not a lot some backlash now let me know if y'all remember this and I may get things a little confused because it's been a while but basically overall the video I believe it was an advice video and I think it was either one of her subscribers or someone she knows was looking for advice on how to approach the situation the young lady believes she was either dating someone or she knows someone who had contracted an std and this is the thing that tripped me out about border hammer is that she was so surprised that people still have unprotected sex because she was like people still doing that and it is in 2000 like 2002 people still doing this in 2015 we're like uh yeah that's why we got babies and people getting stds because yes people still have unprotected sex with multiple people still yes girl so she was just still shocked about that um but overall let me get to the point basically this person was saying whether or not asking in the letter whether or not she should let another woman know that that her boyfriend or someone she's dating has an std and I want to say was it aids you guys was it aids and so and let me know in the comments those y'all who remember that video let me know and so she wrote back or border hammer basically said she doesn't think she should tell the girl anything oh baby the backlash that she got on that video oh they served it to a date they handed rachel because I think her name is rachel is her name rachel they handed her everything let her know that that that was hard boy advice um she should let the girl know because I think she knows the girl okay the person that's dating this guy that has aids or HIV I can't remember what it was um and I want to say that she posted another video apologizing and she since took down both of those videos but yeah y'all I don't know about that I didn't say anything I was just looking back looking at her getting dragged I'm like oh my gosh I wouldn't say they necessarily dragged her people were very um very PC about it you know their approach because she's like that too she never comes off as being very demeaning or anything like that um but yeah no you if I knew someone if I had a friend and I knew that she was dating someone who legit had oh yeah I'm letting her know absolutely you could be potentially you could be potentially saving her life and other people lives so anyway overall I'm glad that she's back and I do appreciate her videos and her knowledge that she has what else what else what else girl I'm already laughing let me stop y'all I am silly this is why I laugh a lot in my videos because I'm silly as hell um I know I'm late talking about this but y'all Benny Benny Harlem y'all this has been going on for quite a while apparently and those of you who don't know Benny Harlem is this um young girl gentleman African-American gentleman who has long beautiful hair supposedly right and I used to see some of his pictures come up on Instagram because of course they showed they're shared all over Instagram and all this and I think he has made the Guinness book of world records for the highest style keyword highest style now my girl Avon Douglas has made it for the largest Afro y'all know Avon I love her um she's all over on Instagram and stuff like that but Benny so Benny has decided that he's gonna take advantage of all you help us looking for waist length long hair and at any cost possible so Benny decided that he's gonna package up and make his own hair products and call it what did he call it y'all these veggie green veggie hair kits all I see are cucumbers and grapes and applesauce and some shit so let me read you this was way back in August so yeah it's been a while let me read you this this post he did August August 28th is when it's dated and apparently he's going all the way to the motherland to gather ingredients to make y'all kits so let me read it for y'all I was bitten by a viper snake while in Ethiopia forming an aquarium ingredients for the green veggie hair kits there was no anti venom medication available at the facility I was transported to and I was told the bite the bite was non venomous I was shocked to find out I was very close to not making it when I returned to the US a few days ago deadly venom was actually very present in my system I was in the middle of an interview with photoshop blah blah blah so sis you're going all the way to Ethiopia in the farmland you got a bit by a viper to gather these ingredients y'all this is the irony of all of this you have to see what he said he was a bit by a viper while looking for ingredients to make y'alls foolery kits he's now he's literally selling you snake oil right and I have mentioned this in quite a few of my videos there is not one product that is going to make your hair miraculous miraculously grow now yes there may be some growth pills or there may be some type of hair oil but one thing that a lot of those um those products have or nutrients so if y'all blood was eaten correctly eaten properly your hair nails skin would flourish you ever noticed that vegetarians the ones that do it good vegetarians and vegans have beautiful skin beautiful hair because it shows up they're getting the the right amount of nutrients for their body y'all so oh it gets even better baby you know how much he's selling these kits for or he was selling for three hundred and ninety nine dollars three hundred and onyx box a month what the hell is in these kits so now he has reduced it to two ninety nine and this is what's so crazy about it those kits sold out so fast I mean there are so many women who are dying to get long hair that they will just buy any and everything so anyway this is the real kiki this is what really makes it funny and interesting he's scamming on multiple levels not he's been going to Kroger's buying up jars of honey and craft ranch sauce and been dipping out the bottles he doesn't even have the you know the professionalism to buy his own bottles he's gonna go to Kroger's pour out all the honey out those bottles remove the labels and slap his own labels on there pour in some make for serve and put sprinkle some leaves on top pine cones or whatever type of foolery here's your here's your hair growth kid or what he called your green veggie kid child I would never you would never sing let me tell you something I think the most I've ever spent on a hair product was like 20 dollars I think it may not even have been that like close to 20 it was 20 with tax put it like that not even having it so he sold out on that when he shares these videos of excuse me these images of his hair it is neatly uniformed natural hair is not as neatly done nobody's hair is that perfect even when avan douglas douglas avan dougas who's had a big beautiful fro when she said shares pictures of her fro you can see in some areas um how do I say you can see through some certain areas with his you can't let me tell you what you can do to get that type of hair and roll in the nearest community college and take you a class in adobe photoshop his photoshop in that hair his photoshop in the step baby's hair because I don't for one I understand that that's not even his daughter that's the woman that he's with daughter that's not his child um his photoshop in his cheeks his nose you know you can do all of this but don't sit up here and say that you grew all this hair and this is all your hair the fuller it's our fault come on now y'all we don't want to do the work we want to buy something it's the same thing when it comes to even diet pills we don't want to do the work we don't want to be consistent we don't want to have any type of discipline when it comes to eating right we just want to buy something a quick fix doesn't matter at any cost you know so yeah same thing with hair products I'm just like there's something I get some type of weird energy from him anyway I can only look at his pictures too so long and I feel like you know how you you look at those illusion pictures in one minute you might get that uh um two people looking at each other or a vase so I feel like what I feel like I'm looking at an optical illusion when I'm looking at his pictures too long so enough about that y'all so the other day I got a text message from one of my friends she was asking me you know how do I feel about over sharing on social media and if Alex was my husband husband I call him Alex that's not his name but um if Alex ever shares too much is that gray hair it sure is okay y'all sorry anyway I'm gonna read twist this because I'm not liking it at the roots there's no over sharing there actually there's no there's no facebook my husband does not have a facebook page the only thing that I know my husband and I'm not saying he doesn't I look I'm not that controlling he's just not on there I know he has a twitter account we follow each other but I'm not really on I'm not on twitter so he's not on facebook he's not on instagram um and he's on twitter for political stuff so he retweets stuff and he follows people over in his country you know Ethiopia so he's not over sharing anything he should have held us and sharing anything about our personal lives I mean I don't even think he has his picture on his profile he has something that he has a flag or some shit girl no not happening so she was saying her husband is constantly over sharing whether it be pictures of them everywhere um comments about whether it financially I'm like okay you know what that's too much that's way too much and I know people who do that I see people look it is your page you can do whatever you want but at a certain point one is enough it's enough and I know y'all have friends that are like that and I just girl I will control or delete in a minute and just log off um my mama is like that she'll show all attack but my daddy does not like it she'll show pictures of all in the hospital here's my discharge papers here's the medication I gotta get and I'm like you sharing too much and honestly Facebook is not what it is Facebook in my opinion is not what it was created to be I think at this point it's a data gathering tool you think you're up there sharing stuff with your friends what y'all don't know is that third or third party applications in place to literally capture everything that you are posting and I know that's because I used to work for a company that was doing it um and that's all I'm gonna say about that but I'll be very careful especially if you're talking about anything political um I would be very careful what I say on social media and that's not being you know your tenfold hat you don't have to do all that but just be mindful of what you put on social media and plus a lot of people live for that you know a lot of your so-called friends are just waiting for the drama to explode and on the page there's just some people who are like that so yeah no be careful and be mindful about that yeah I don't share anything my husband even thinks that I share too much on my youtube channel y'all he was fit to be tired when I told y'all that he hit my car subscribers I didn't tell I didn't make a facebook post I didn't even seriously I didn't even do that I didn't make a facebook post I just told about 16,000 people watch my videos that video had like 500 clicks and some of y'all probably watched it several times so maybe you know twice not several times so I'm like yeah girl he was yeah he was like no you don't need to because I also told my mom and my best friend and my sister so but I guess my point is that I wasn't oversharing I wasn't making a post about it on social media I don't do that when it comes to anything like that and one thing that I really think people need to do and I don't know there's someone I know and she's another youtuber and she's also on my facebook she's on my friends list and I would not if I'm getting into a new relationship with someone don't put that person on social media at all wait I would say wait for about seven or eight months is that straight y'all no but who cares I want to wait for a couple of months not even that like yeah y'all see I don't show my husband because some people just looking for drama don't be showing anyone that you're freshly dating do not put them on social media in any form here don't even tell people until y'all get serious who you're dating if you want to do that yes but I find that the less people know the better let me tell you because when you start having issues because you are because everyone has issues that's just how it is no one's perfect when you start to have issues and if you start talking about it some people will feed on that okay so I mean like I said do what you want but I've learned in my 38 years on this earth that it's best to not overshare you know overshare things and just because you're not sharing everything does not mean that there's something going on because that's another thing that people think that well her marriage there's there must be something wrong if she's not sharing no there's not that it's actually pretty good girl yeah it's good over here so um I need to hear it with my hair and um these are gonna be long now I'm not look how shiny this right now look at that very very what the hell is this oh all right you guys so that is it for this chit chat I'm gonna go ahead and hurry up with my hair and that's it y'all leave a comment like subscribe if you knew I will see y'all next week bye


listen it's the message right here black boy tell me how you really feel because i just want to build with you black girl tell me how you really feel i want to keep it real with you i want to live better eat better i want to love better sleep better yeah i want to feel so aligned with all the risk involved and i'll elaborate on that family court system like we said um custody and and all that stuff why should black men specifically remain enthusiastic about marriage and some of the stats to consider 50% of divorces around their end i mean marriages end in divorce 80% of which are initiated by the women while 100% of marriages are initiated by men so statistically speaking 100% of men are starting marriages 80% of women are ending marriages and 50 50 it's a 50 50 fool so why should men still be enthusiastic i also that's a skew it's that to say 100% of marriages are initiated by men but who's getting on their knees and proposing that's the initiation of a marriage yet i'm just saying you're negating the fact that some women post a minute what percentage i'm not saying i'm just saying one percent point zero five i'm just saying and like when you propose to her that's not the initiation of a marriage she has accepted so it's like 50% of people are initiating marriage as well as or 50% of male 50% of women no no accepting it is not initiate initiating is i'm going for this thing whether it's accepted or not is by the way but as far as starting the process men are starting the process as far as ending the process 80% are ended by women the proposal is not marriage it's starting the process because then you could say that the relationship and the marriage doesn't happen you could say that if the relationship didn't happen then the marriage is not going to happen girls aren't asking dudes out i mean that's not happening it's not happening at scale maybe you know something i don't but it doesn't seem like it's happening at scale with all those things taken into account why shouldn't men still be enthusiastic about marriage i mean i'm enthusiastic about marriage because i want to have one person that i can confide in i don't want to have to spare myself then so i think that isn't a gender-based reason i think that goes both ways i would want i would think a man would be excited to not have to worry about is this girl holding me out is this girl just using me for financial gains i mean it goes thinking happening marriage too it could i'm not saying it couldn't like it does happen in marriage especially with the court system i'm not saying it doesn't but like the same way that women can still be getting played in marriages like you can't just look at it from one side so like you would i would i am excited about marriage i'm not saying that my marriage is going to be perfect but i'm excited about marriage because i want to find that one person that i can relate to for the rest of my life and that one person that i can confide in for the rest of my life and the the reason i painted the question is why should men be enthusiastic is because just like you said you're right women are getting cheated on right women are getting abused right and the same thing is happening to men but what you don't see is women losing their property what you don't see is women being bankrupt what you don't see is women having to move out of their house and still pay the mortgage what you don't see is women being forced to pay alimony to a man cheated on them that's what you don't see but this is what you see with men so the argument tends to be that it seems like men have more to lose i mean if you think the only loss and gain in a marriage is financially then i mean you're going to always see yourself as losing but you have to think there's emotional loss too and so like sometimes and i think you had brought this this up not that i necessarily agree with this point but you say as a woman ages she loses her value as a man ages he he gains his value so is she not losing equally to like get divorced later on in life it's just not a monetary loss so i think like sometimes like it's very it seems very black and white like oh she lost he lost her his assets or whatnot so automatically he's losing more but it's like sometimes there's more emotional turmoil that comes with divorce that people don't take into consideration and i'm not saying the man doesn't gain or like doesn't have that but it's not just like i got money and everything's great and i think it's an unfair point to try to say like oh like you should not want to get into marriage because you could lose money you can always gain money back you can never gain peace i actually agree with you and i i think that both people lose ultimately but what makes it complicated is i think most people both people lose so the stats should be 50% of divorces are initiated by man unhappy man cheated on man 50% are initiated by women unhappy women cheated on women right and then the court system tends to go the side of the person who was right in the situation wrong in the situation but those numbers are lopsided 80% are initiated by women and the court system tends to side with the women regardless of if she was the cheater if she was the abuser if she was this if she was that there are stories of and and this is why these conversations are so important because there are stories of men like one guy he gives TED talks now i can't remember his name on top of my head was his wife he married a woman from the church and his wife forced him to weigh himself naked once a week because she wanted him to lose weight and she refused to have sex with her husband until he lost an amount of weight that she thought was satisfactory and the whole time she was having sex with other people while they were married see i've heard that's that's a story that i hear more in the reverse and that's that's a point that i've heard guys say that they lose attraction to their wife because they've gotten heavy or they've gotten they've let themselves go so like i'm not saying that that situation doesn't happen yes women can't be trifling it's equally as bad to be trifling but again what makes it more painful is i'm sure it happens in both situations but he was the breadwinner and she'd initiated the divorce because even in the situations where the guy is the devil it's still the woman initiated the divorce and then after that he's the one who has to pay alimony and child support so the guy loses whether he's right or wrong whereas the woman she can still win if she's right or wrong and that's what i'm talking about it's lopsided the law doesn't care about because there are men who are being abused we don't talk about it there are men who are being cheated on we don't talk about it women tend to talk more women are more vocal women are more emotional but what's what's great a matter of fact i was watching a documentary about male uh is a male uh domestic violence shelter and they were interviewing this guy this guy was 63 250 pounds he looked like an nfl linebacker and he was being abused almost to the to almost close to death by his girlfriend and he ran away to the homeless shelter they were like dude you're 63 250 pounds why are you letting a woman abuse her like that he said that if i called the police on her what do you think would happen they show up in my black 63 250 pound ass is here talking about this five two woman was abusing me i might get shot it's it's funny but it's not funny yeah and this is what a lot of men deal with and then trump calls it the quiet majority but is real so again where we are now why these conversations are so important is because there are a lot of men who are suffering and even in their suffering nobody says you know what you're the victim some women are being labeled victims even though they're the perpetrator just because she's a woman just because she's six uh five two just because she can cry on cue and men can like do you see the the couple who went viral because the the woman kept slapping whatever yeah like that is that is more common than you realize and that is what's infuriating men because they're saying that we can lose it for good we can lose it for bad we can lose it for in the middle and you can win if you are a jezebel you can win if you are a saint you can win so like what what should we say to those men and how do we equate even those numbers out i think this conversation is going to make me more empathetic towards the men like i i think i used to hear a lot of kevin samuels and the men speaking like kevin samuels and i used to get frustrated but now i'm starting to see like it's it's that kind of rhetoric being spoken out of frustration out of repeated like being taken advantage of and it's it's out of hurt and anger not necessarily like they truly believe that but they just kind of want to see a little bit of change so i'm gonna i'm gonna take a little bit of empathy when dealing with men in the future but for that like i don't know i don't want to say like men should that women better because then that puts onus on the man because we don't say that to women right um so i don't want to say that for sure but i don't know i think there needs to be some even playing field but one i can't wait till they come out with male birth control so at least that could be a starting point and i know there is research on it but when it becomes marketable i think that would be at least something to say that he can take control himself to i think the legal system does need to need to be more just towards the man it can't just look at it like woman man black and white they have to really take account of like how she is treating him because i think in those situations it's unfair because he's a 65 as you were saying athlete quarterback built and he's he's like stuck between a rock and a hard place if he doesn't do anything then he's looked like as a bitch if he does retaliate then he's looked as as an abuser so it's like what can he do i don't know i really don't have an answer to that i really don't i think the conversation is is the first step so we're doing that yeah


Howdy how's it going? My name's Davy Chappy, and you may know me as the guy who enjoys putting arbitrary scores on lists in the shape of my face. Well, it's time for another list video, but with 100% less Davy meter, mostly because of the way that the Artificer infusions are handled. A lot of them are so specific to what you want to do that ranking them would be impossible. That said, I'm still gonna give my overall opinion on each items that you can know what to equip the next time that you start smithing. As always keep in mind that the majority of this is just my opinion, so if you feel like infusions are just a poor man's invocation, feel free to play your games however you want. And really quick I'd like to give a brief shout out to my new patrons this month. Pat! Adam Henry! And because I didn't say his name right the first time and this is his year long anniversary of being a patron to me, XP2 Level! One, thank you for being my patrons, you are the holy trinity of people who make it so that I don't starve. But with that out of the way, let's begin. Arcane Propulsion Armor. This is the only 14th level infusion besides the magic items, and it's basically just adding box and gloves of springs attached to your armor. It only does 1d8 damage, so if you take the repeating or returning infusions, both of which are available from the start, this is basically useless. Armor of magical strength. If you don't have a high strength, this can compensate. If you already have a high strength, this will make the barbarian eat their heart out. Also, this is one of the Iron Man infusions, Boots of the Winding Path. From a roleplaying perspective, these boots throw you back in time a few seconds, and that's cool. From a gameplay perspective, this could potentially be used to either disengage or save yourself from a fit trap. Enhanced Arcane Focus. Basic buff, no reason not to take it if you're looking to fill that last slot. Enhanced Defense. Same as the Arcane Focus, although it should be noted that since armor and shields are different things, you can spend two infusions to give you a dummy thick AC. Enhanced Weapon. Another basic buff, but if you plan on using ranged weapons, there are infusions that give this buff and another thing. Once you reach level 10, however, it becomes a question of whether you want the gimmick or a bigger buff. Helm of Awareness.  Homunculus Servant. You get a little buddy. He's not super useful, but he's good from delivering touch spells from afar. That said, since it has so few hit points, it's probably going to be restricted to touching your friends since strangers may not appreciate it. Mind Sharperter. Very good infusion. If you're an age, highly consider getting this. Radiant Weapon. Here we get to the gimmicks. The Radiant Weapon is good for people who want to feel like Jesus, and the blinding effect is great, so there's no reason not to take this. Repeating Shot. Now you can finally have that crossbow six shooter you've been waiting for. Refulsion Shield.  Resistant Armor. It does exactly what the name implies. This is actually a really great infusion, because if you happen to go into a desert or a tundra, not only will you be weather resistant, but most enemies in those types of places have an elemental damage gimmick. So you can just swap the resistance type to whatever you need. Returning Weapon. Attach a rubber band to your weapon. Turn your weapon into those stretchy hand things. Bend a knife so it's a boomerang. The reflavoring possibilities are endless. Spell Refueling Ring. If you're a half caster, which as an artificer you are, then any access to more spells is a lifesaver. Alright, now we come to the magic items, so I'll go down the list from level to level. Starting with... Second Level! Alchemy Chug. Ask your DM if you can remove the restriction of only one type of liquid per day. The most fun I've had is goofing off with this thing. Bag of Holding.  Cap of Water Breathing. Obviously, if you're taking this, it's because you're going into the water. You don't need me to tell you to take it. Just remember that you can swap out which infusions you know every level. Goggles of Night. This is the Dark Vision Challenge's accessibility item. Rope of Climbing. Useful for dungeon delving and bondage fantasies. Sending Stones. The idea that you can just make a cell phone bob is me, but also it lets you split the party safely. Wand of Magic Detection. So, you can either take Detect Magic as a spell, in which case you'll either be using spell slots or casting as a ritual, or you can use an infusion slot to just have a wand do it for you. There's no right answer here, I'm just giving you your options. Wand of Secrets. This one isn't as useful as just bumping up your perception or an investigation, but those can still fail. However, in order for this wand to work, you already have to have some idea that there might be something worth finding, or else you just wouldn't use the wand in the first place. So maybe rolling would be better since there's no limit on that? Eh. Sixth Level! Boots of Elvenkind. Now you're wearing sneakers. Cloak of Elvenkind. For real though, this is probably the better of the two elven items, but the reason you'd take both is because boots protect against hearing, and the cloak protects against seeing. Cloak of the Manta Ray. Consider this an upgrade from the Cap of Water Breathing, and it'll serve the same purpose. Eyes of Charming. You get magic contact lenses that let you charm people. Fun fact, I wear contact lenses. They do not charm people, though. That's all me. Gloves of Thievery. Some of these names will just tell you what they do right away, and there's not much for me to talk about besides you want to steal shit? Wear gloves! Lantern of Revealing. This is sort of an upgrade from the Goggles of Night, but you have to carry it, and it creates a big ol' light source that anybody can see. The advantage of seeing invisible things doesn't come up that often, but if you're really worried about it, you can take this to easier paranoia. Pipes of Haunting. You play a song to freak people out, but I've never had the chance during combat to say, hold on, let me get my bagpipes. Although if you want to get a good idea of how this item works, look up the Aztec Death Whistle. It's safe for work, I promise. Ring of Waterwalking. As an Artificer, I always feel strapped for infusions.  Boots of Striding and Springing. Look, man, if I don't think jump works as a level 1 spell, I'm not gonna take this as a level 10 infusion. Yeah, you stay unencumbered, but so... Boots of the Winter Lens. I'm surprised that this isn't a lower level infusion. Take it when you're ready for the Land of Critical Role spoilers. Bracers of Archery. As a DM, I'm fairly liberal with handing out magic items, and these are like my go-to because they're so popular. Brute of Shielding. I would expect this to increase your AC, but preventing the rarely used Force Damage is okay, I guess. That magic missile defense also won't come up often. Cloak of Protection. There's the bonus day, see? It's never not good. Eyes of the Eagle. If only my contact lenses were this good. Gauntlets of Ogre Power. These last few items have just been take a stat and make it good, which doesn't leave me a lot to say other than take it if you want your stat to be good. Gloves of Missile Snaring. This item's pretty great, but by level 10, you'll usually be fighting magical creatures more often, so your gloves might not see as much catching as you'd hope. Gloves of Swimming and Climbing. Yup, that thing that the name says it does, sure is the thing that it do. Hat of Disguise. Dude, I love this thing. Changing your appearance at will is just so much fun, and there are so many things you can do with it. Headband of Intellect. This one is probably useless on you, given that you're an artificer and therefore already have high intelligence, but maybe you can slap it on an ogre and create the most memorable NPC in Candlekeep. Helm of Telepathy. You can read and control mines, and there isn't a limit on the reading part, so this thing slaps. Medallion of Thoughts. Why? This is just a worse version of the last item. Outside of already having an infusion on your helmet, I can't see why you would ever take this. And even then, just put the good one on somebody else's head. Necklace of Adaptation. I know that this was made to survive things like poisons, but when I see this effect, I can't stop thinking Space Campaign. Periapt of Wumclosure. Besides the difficult name, this item is amazing.  Pipes of the Sewers. Seems nice, but since Swarms of Rats aren't that powerful, you're only going to get use out of this if you happen to fall into a vat of Swarming Rat. Quiver of Alona.  Wait, Ring of Jumping. Stop giving me jump spells. Slippers of Spider Climbing. Don't worry, guys. I brought my Spider Tronglas. Ventilating Lungs. This is just a better Necklace of Adaptation with the obvious caveat that you have to replace your Lungs. Still, power comes at a price. Winged Boots. Remember all those jump items? Here you go. Just be Hermes. Fourteenth Level. Amulet of Health. Another Make Stat Good item, but I remind you that a higher constitution gives you more health, so this one has a built-in added effect. Arcane Propulsion Arm. At Fourteenth Level, you're just taking this as a gimmick, and I don't blame you. Disconnecting your arm to chuck it at something is something that I would do all the time, if I could. Belt of Hill Giant Strength. Make Strength Good, but slightly past the maximum normally allowed, so this actually has some use. Not too much though, because 21 doesn't put you higher than the normal plus 5. Boots of Levitation. I understand that the Winged Boots have a duration and that this doesn't, but I still prefer the Winged Boots since it doesn't stick me with just vertical movement. Boots of Speed. Very good. Big Fast. Bracers of Defense. Most classes can make use of this since they don't use a shield, but even people with a shield can take this and then use their free hand for something else. Cloak of the Bat. If you really want these effects, just play a Twilight Cleric. You'll get them way earlier.  Dimensional Shackles. The first adventurer-proof pair of manacles in the game. Useful for business and for pleasure. Gem of Seeing. Almost free true sight. What's not to love? Horn of Blasting. Theoretically, you can just keep using it over and over, but that 1 in 5 chance to end yourself means that you don't want to spam it unless you happen to be resistant to fire damage. Ring of Free Action. No, this doesn't give you an additional action as cool as that would be, but it does mean that nothing can stop you from taking your actions, so it's not that bad. Ring of Protection. If you gear up with all the AC bonus infusions, you'll break the game. It's just a matter of dedicating that many infusion slots. Ring of the Ram. One of the few directly damaging items on the list. You can use this to replace all of the lukewarm damage options that the Artificer normally gets. Buuuut, that'll about do it. I hope you enjoyed this video.

But yeah, Davi out.


All righty, then. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to this action-packed, non-stop, fun ride, fiasco, train wreck, kaleidoscope, adventure time. All right. So I slight change of plan what I propose to us, because this is not a democracy, but I like to pretend it is, just like real government. I'm going to talk to you for a half hour. I'm going to do some, I'm going to show you some examples of how body press is used in multiple industries. These slides are going to be made available afterwards. You don't have to write everything down. This is some of the information I presented before. So if you've seen some of my talks, then some of this might be familiar. And then we're going to end at 11.30. And I propose at 11.30, we end early and beat everyone to lunch. If my advice, and again, I'll give you directions. We have food vouchers for you. My advice to you is that make sure I stop at 11.30. And then we do have to do a little bit of a walk to a building, which I'll show you where that is. And my advice to you is grab the food and then bring it back here, because we only technically have about an hour for lunch.  At least we'll all be here, and we'll beat all the other workshops and the other children that are also here. Excuse me, young teens. All right, so let me boot this sucker up. Get the gerbil running here. And we'll also talk about a little miscellaneous body press things along the way. Okay, so before we go into some real-world examples, let's talk about why you would want to use body press in the first place. And maybe as a developer, you're excited about body press. You know the advantages. But sometimes it's hard to communicate that to a client, where they go, what's this body press stuff? Is this software? It's a plug-in? Okay, well, there's other plug-ins available where I can get this custom developed. And sometimes those solutions may work for them. But generally speaking, the advantages that I walk away with with body press for clients is, first of all, of course, it's open source, just like WordPress. And just like John mentioned earlier, it works with almost every well-like good WordPress theme. I use the word good in there for a reason. I think if your body press isn't working with whatever WordPress theme you're using, I wouldn't use that WordPress theme. It's probably not built. It probably doesn't have all its marbles. You get to also control your own data. Ning used to be big. But I think once that collapsed, or at least the free version of it collapsed, a lot of people started to realize. Yes, we have a question in the back. They're having a problem with my voice? Okay. David, can you message poppersoft in general? Okay, can you look into that? It's the noise background noise. And maybe we have to go knock on the door downstairs to forgive you and maybe we'll bear with us here. They can put it on mute and I can just, you know, do a puppet show or something. I'm not sure yet. Remember I said this was a trial run? All right. So anyway, customization, obviously using body press allows you to customize it to whatever you want. And we'll see those examples in a minute. And you know what?  People kind of forget that a little bit. But so I've done a numerous projects before where there are just people, Internet are still things people want built. Intranets, right? Things that don't see the time of day publicly. What body press is great for those. And also proof of concepts. So you have someone approaching you who is a startup company. And either they are, they're basically looking for investors, many of them. So what they will do is they will use word press as a platform and body press to, as a proof of concept, to show their investors, This is pretty much a minimal viable product. Please give us money or whatever they want to do with it. And sometimes I build projects and that's as far as they've gotten. Basically they take it, they take the money and they go rewrite or do whatever they want with it. And other times they go forward with it. But it's good for proof of concepts. And of course body press is obviously heavily supported. So now that we're familiar with body press, we're going to see how they're being used in six different industries. And some of these I'm going to go more quickly than others. But like I said, the slides are available online. And many of these sites are public. Some of them are a little bit more public than others, especially mainly the educational sites. First of all, we're going to talk about government. Now you don't hear a lot about word pressing government sites, at least in the U.S. Word press and government, there are some notable examples, but still working on that. And that's probably because word presses presence in the government also relies a lot on the internet. So it's the network that you don't see, but the government uses internally. One of the examples of this is the National Park Service. And this was actually built by a company called web dev studios. I'm not sure some of you may be familiar with web dev studios. This is an internal social network just for the employees for the national park service. They use the standard body press features, like activity streams and groups. And they use the bb press, oh, yeah, I got to mention today, for forms. And also they use this group tag plugin. So they tag the groups so they can better archive and search for them. So in the slides, I've put the prominent plugin url. So when you go back to the slides, you can go find these plugins for yourself. The other example is gov loop. And it's built by people called ten up. Still hiring. This is a resource that actually allows Government employees to share best practices and career building opportunities. If you want to know what that is, exactly go look at the site. I just wrote that. Actually, this is a good example of a Body press site having over 100,000 members in its community section alone. Some of its groups i think are in at least the five digits group Memberships for body press groups. This is actually a more Straight forward example of body press integration. So as you can see, it looks more like a default body press site Than some of the other examples. So non-profits. Yeah. Yay for non-profits, right? And this is a web, one of the non-profits that i'm familiar with Is a company called, or non-profit called foundation of excellence. It's fairly new and it basically works with academically Talented students from low income families.  But if you are from a low income family, you don't have that Opportunity. So this non-profit gives them kids Those opportunities. It also does dean camps and you Probably, you will see some of those people helping out Volunteering on sunday for our kids activities. But basically, what they do for their camps is that they Create this body press network that's private. So it's publicly accessible but obviously you can't get into It unless you have a secure username and password. And it allows the parents to see what their kids have done at the Camps on that day. They can list achievements and their Courses that they're completed and they actually can upload Some pictures. Some of the pictures are actually Uploaded by the students themselves if they're old enough Because they're actually taught word press or blogging skills In the camps. And this is just one way Educational and non-for-profits can use body press Especially if you have kids involved and parents involved. Software as a service. I know i wasn't here but john Maybe john talked about this. John is involved with something Called flocks which is the first word press powered Application to do the full hosting, full featured social Networks. So you don't have to build your Own social network anymore. Now that flocks does it and they Charge you for it, i think. But here the point is that this Is an example of a sass or software as a service using Body press. And actually, if i took Conference one day to like a paid model, like pay a couple Of bucks a month and you'll get notified when these Conferences have opened up their speaker calls which is Originally why i built it in the first place. I missed a speaker call, i missed the tickets for this Conference. Well, log in, activate, Join a body press group and you'll get these automated Emails for a buck a month or something. That's a software as a service, right? So really body press can be used for those things as Well. Community. So body press is Accessible and it has a low barrier to entry, at least For its basic functions. So it's been a choice for many Community projects, local projects, that sort of thing. So people use body press to build social networks for Neighborhoods. They use it for churches, Religious reasons, youth groups. And even realtors use Body press to set up profiles for their realtors within Their companies sometimes. So one of the examples of a Community-based site is something called study church. And i actually spoke with this gentleman before. I kind of investigated it and it's just basically a Community site based on bible study groups and the Memberships are actually hooked into restrict content pro, Which is a plug-in that allows people to pay you money and You give them access to content in various areas on your Website. So this particular website has a free Membership and it also has a, i guess at the time i was Talking to him but by now he probably has this in place. A premium membership. So this is how he's getting a Little bit of income to help with the site. So the website is basically a one big study collaboration Aspect. So when you answer a question in These bible study groups the answer is saved as a comment. It's also a body press activity item so that the group can Engage back and forth based upon the answer.  It's truly communication between other Members in an open forum. So that's, i thought that was Actually a pretty good example of a community-based site. This one's my favorite. I think every time, yeah, we know David. So, yeah, all right. Sorry, my brain's getting past all the jokes. Okay, now we're good. So i think every time i show Examples of body press i try to clean out the old stuff And bring in the new stuff because that's, i mean, America. But the kitchen, tasty Kitchen always stays in my slide deck. This site, i don't know how old this site is. It's one of the oldest ones, but it's also one of the Maintained sites a body press there is. I mean, this site is not like, it's not like an auto Pilot or anything like that. This site still has active Members on the site, i think on a weekly, not on a Weekly, but a daily basis. I think it's totally public. I actually suggest you create an account. And, you know, and experience how they have modified it. It uses body press for the users, of course, but the users Have the ability to create recipes and share those recipes And catalog them. And actually there's a Post ratings plug-in that they incorporate so people can Actually rate other people's recipes. So this is why i don't add anything to the site. But it's actually, the content on it is so rich that that's What makes it so interesting and probably so popular is that They just took body press and just added a community aspect Around just sharing recipes with each other. It's very well done. If i look at this anymore, i'm going to be hungry, but i suggest you check it out. So moving on from community sites, higher education. So body press has been growing in the higher education space for quite a while. And that's the same thing with word press as well. Word press is popular in the higher education space as well. I think there's a conference coming up about that, too, but i can't remember what it is. Oh, is she in the room? All right. Moving on. But anyway, word press has become more popular in the higher Education space, and so therefore body press is also kind of taken to it as well. And in fact, it's body press has probably become so popular. We could probably just have just a 30-minute talk just on how colleges and Universities actually use body press. By the way, that was my speaker application for the conference. That was it right there. So let's take a look at some few examples. This one's probably the oldest slide on my deck, too. If you ever talk about higher education and body press, one of the Biggest and oldest sites is an academic social network for the city University of new york. I don't know. C-u-n-y abbreviated system. Cheese. This boon started this, like, how long ago? It's forever. Boon, if you can hear me, Give me a sign through live stream. By the way, how the live stream is coming along. Still cracking? All right. Crack-a-lackin. Okay. So, basically, developers, this site is, this is so old. I almost forget how it started. I would love to have boon explain it In detail. But the developers not only created This site for the education with body press, but they've created It. It became so popular. They basically, like, invented plugins and functionality that Have been either incorporated into body press or has always Been kind of developed along a parallel in body press for a Long time. This site actually supports a Number of huge, large networks. And there's, like i said, i think The plugin that came out of that is something called commons in a Box. So if you're more interested in That, google that, commons in a box, i think, oh, and i also Have the url up there that is just dedicated to that type of Body press application. This is like the premiere example When you're talking about educational body press sites. Another example, though, let's talk about there is something At the michigan tech school called parent net. This isn't for the students. As the name implies, it's for the Parents. So the parents went ahead and Created a network and we're talking hundreds of parents here. They created their own network for their children at Michigan tech. So the parents can swap Information. They can discuss concerns. I put that in quotes. Not sure when i wrote that. But whatever concerns are, they can discuss them. And they can get some questions answered. So basically it's a parent support group for their college kids. Which i thought was actually pretty neat. Me, on the other hand, i wouldn't notice them gone. All right, so moving on. Temple university school of Business. Now, some of you make, this is Actually a college out of philadelphia. It's a multi-site network that allows over a thousand Members not only teach and take courses. So basically this means they write blogs. And these students can also learn and engage with each other With buddy press as well. So they've got the blog Functionality mixed in with the buddy press. And they also do this, they also send out specific news. I'm not going to use the phrase incorrectly. News alerts or knowledge alerts through rss feeds. So people can subscribe to these rss feeds and get the Knowledge that way. Very tech-worthy school for Still using rss feeds and knowing what rss feeds are. Dawson college, it's a community of teachers using buddy press. But what's cool is that they use a plug-in called buddy press Groups documents. Anybody ever heard of buddy press Groups documents? Good. So you know i'm not making this up. So people can upload and share documents with other people Inside the buddy press groups that they're members of. So it's only available within those groups. And that's really nice because when you have groups sharing Documents, it doesn't clutter up the rest of the website, right? So you have one particular department sharing documents And they don't have to go to a separate documents page. And you just go right to the buddy press group. And so if you're sharing documents with buddy press, I suggest you look at that plug-in because that could be A nice way for your website projects. And then finally we have a website, john carrell university. Uses wordpress and buddy press to connect students with Alumni. And the alumni enter their Information into a gravity form. Anybody ever heard of gravity forms? Okay, i'll just assume that was the s. That populates a mentor. And basically there are custom Post-types called mentors. And then that populates that. And then there's a few custom taxonomies mixed in there. But anyway, buddy press allows students to log in and Browse these mentors and then be able to connect with Them, share stories with them and so forth. Most of these education sites you can't access publicly. One or two may require permission or special access. So i suggest you check them out. Now, we've already, the conferences and events, we Kind of already talked about this. This is just some random Screenshots that you'll see when you look at the slides. We've already kind of looked at this. But again, i can at least share with you some of the Plugins that i did use for the conference site. Gravity forms. Buddy press followers. Buddy press followers is a plug-in. When you, the standard buddy press like friendship model is Closer to, oh, god, i'm going to say the upward. Closer to facebook, where you have to, hey, i want to be your friend. And that friendship has to be accepted. And then your friendship, you're both friends, right? That's the way it goes. You just can't be a friend without the other person accepting the invite. Buddy press followers is a plug-in where it's kind of more like twitter. It's like that angry x stalking you from the back. It's basically, they follow you and you don't have to reciprocate. So i use that system. And it's actually a pretty good plug-in, Because a lot of the buddy press sites that i use, you don't Have to have the other person respond to you. Now, that comes in handy. You can use both plug-ins at the same time. You can follow somebody, have someone follow you, just like on twitter. But you can also use the default buddy press friendship model When you want to, let's say you want to establish a deeper connection, Like you want to direct message somebody, but you don't want People to start direct messaging you if you're not following them back, right? It's kind of like, you know, weird. So anyway, and then finally, the front end registration and login forms. That's a breather. But this is a plug-in that used to be Pippin's plug-in, and now he's taking over it. Anyway, this is actually a plug-in that takes your front end Registration and login forms and puts them on the front of your site. So you can create basically custom login pages, custom registration pages. The gravity forms that i use, and here's a trick for you. A lot of people, not a lot of people, but there is a persistent problem. It's not an epidemic, but it has happened often enough That people do ask once in a while about buddy press registration spam. It's always a constant battle, and there's actually probably good plug-ins for it, And there's probably good techniques that i'm not aware of, And other people in the audience probably know, but my personal technique Is that for a lot of my buddy press projects, i use gravity forms. Again, this is not always applicable to all projects. You do sometimes need that buddy press registration form. But i basically, and user gravity forms has a user registration plug-in. So you can create a form that people can enter, and when they hit enter, Their information gets sent to wordpress to create a user, And also gets sent to the buddy press metadata fields. What does this mean? It means you can replace the wordpress, Or the buddy press registration form. What does that mean? I have not gotten a single spam registration from a gravity form Website that i've built, zero. Of course, maybe i don't design things Popular enough, but i'm pretty guaranteed that gravity forms, filters, There's something with gravity forms, and you can also add on to gravity forms. It's just basically a different, you know, the bots look for Buddy press registration forms, so it's probably the most of it. But anyway, that's, whenever somebody says i have buddy press spam, The quickest thing i can tell them is get a copy of gravity forms Replace a registration page and see what happens. But anyway, again, that's just one of probably many different examples. So the best buddy press, this is something that i've had a whole deal. The best buddy press sites are the ones you can't tell buddy press was used on. Those, but of course those are the ones that take probably the longest time to do. All the examples i've showed you today took a good amount of time and effort from their creators. And it pays off because unless you're a developer, you would know it was powered by buddy press. And buddy press, you know, the more you get away from the default, Buddy press look and feel, the more your client is going to think this is Like a really kick-ass website and it doesn't look like anybody else. Same thing with twitter bootstrap, right? You know, everybody's, you know, there's pros and cons to using it. But the biggest con in my book is that all the twitter bootstrap sites look the same, Or at least a lot of them do. And then when you show someone a great site, This is, oh, how did you do it? And they find out the bootstrap, That's actually a pretty good thing. Same thing with buddy press a little bit. So when people ask me what to consider, things to consider for using buddy press, First, it's important to spec out the features first. That sounds like a no-brainer, but immediately a lot of clients come up To say, i want to use buddy press. Let's start looking for themes and plugins and stuff like that. No, first you spec it out, you see if the themes and plugins work. And then what you do is that in my second point is that do a default wordpress install. So i do a lot of this for complicated sites for clients. I don't dive into this, i don't dive into development immediately for the site. Especially if the user does not, is not familiar with buddy press. I give a default wordpress installation, put it to 20, what's my favorite, 2013, i can't remember, 2013, something like that. Actually, probably older, it's probably 2011. And i put buddy press on it and i just let the client play for a while. After lunch, that's exactly what we're going to do. I'm going to show you a buddy press site that all of you after lunch Will be able to register and log into and we're going to go through Each of the buddy press features together. That's what we're going to do after lunch. Did i say after lunch? I meant after lunch. So anyway, here's finally some things to consider. With basic customization, again, remember buddy press should work With all wordpress themes. Now, as a developer, you're at Some various level of development, right?  I won't lie. Obviously, in my opinion, advanced Customization is going to require good development skills or For the agencies. So some people get frustrated with Buddy press and it's more of their problem, honestly, because They assume they can, oh, it's buddy press. I'll just make it look like this. I'll make it just look like A kickstarter. No problem, right? And then they dive into the pool a little too quickly. So just realize that buddy press is great. It's awesome, but just like a lot of good tools, it does take Time to master and learn. And a lot of people forget about the Design in the ux part of it, too. You can't just whip off a Buddy press site as a developer without some, especially the More complex it gets, the more you're going to need really Good design and ux skills. And a lot of developers don't Have that, really, or at least the majority of them, i think. I think developers are mostly stuck with developing the code. So a lot of the projects i do, i actually bring on a designer. And again, we don't actually, we do the design and the concepts Before we build anything. Maybe the proof of concept first, Maybe. But the design in ux is just as Important as the code that you write. There are certain things about social websites, certain Things that you should or should not do, make it easy For the users to discover other users, to message other Users. All of this is important. It's not relying on the code as much as the design and the user Experience. And then finally, i'm sure this is Probably happening now. Although at the time i wrote this, It was probably future tense. Start adding ssl for your Secure log in pages. In fact, let's just scratch that. Let me reword that. Start adding ssl to your sites. Period. Very, it's going to happen. It is already starting to happen. Google is going to Eventually not count your site. I don't know if it's going to Count it as a security problem or just not going to rank it high Enough in the search listings. But fire fox is starting to Mark log in forms that are just an http is insecure. Not the website, but log in forms. They're log in page. So we're talking about our log in page specifically. If it's not ssl secured, fire fox is already starting to Mark it as insecure. I don't know if that's happened now Or if it's still in the nightly builds. But it doesn't matter. The point is that if you're building a website that has a Log in form, you're going to want to at least secure that Page. But in my opinion, just secure the Whole goddamn website. So anyway, that's it. That's we're done.

Yesterday we saw the Mexican peso push higher in the early part of the afternoon if I can just circle this here on the idea of Navarro coming out and saying there was going to be a deal reached if you like, but you can see this market gapping lower overnight as they are far from that deal. So one to keep an eye out for today you can see that peso under a series of pressure really from the beginning of the week you can see a bit of a recovery yesterday short lived and then the gap lower as well unfortunately for any Mexican peso traders hopefully you weren't holding a position overnight there as you can see that gap lower quite significant. So if you look obviously at the Euro head of this meeting we're on quite a key level if I just bring over this area from the left hand side the previous high back on the 24th and 27th I'll be keeping a close eye on that this morning whether we can have a decent reaction either way before that meeting I wouldn't be too sure. Yesterday as well one of the bigger movers in the market oil you can see especially if we lower this time frame down from the DOE numbers pushing down to the lowest point of the year those numbers and you can see here if I just transition my chart coming in as a build for everything 6.7 million. More than expected API gave the signal on Tuesday evening that there was going to be a build but not as big as was expected and price did come under a bit of pressure and even late last night where we had a bit of a recovery the S1 previous low the day has acted as a quite good level of resistance there. Just having a look at oil on that longer term chart so in the weekly strategy let me just remove all of these studies you can see we were talking about the importance of this level in general and call it a zone really from the lows that we had back in February and January of this year. We have now had a go at trying to break through to the downside closing below these these key levels so I'll just be keeping an eye especially where we close the week is it going to be an opportunity to get long and we start to see a reversal or is this just the start of a further push down from the top of the year to the low 24 nearly 25% move to the downside. Big push there also yesterday and this was a if I told you looking at this chart with your dollar on the low of well today and yesterday that ADP was the worst number in nine years you would think this chart is upside down that number coming in a lot less than expected 180,000 was expected and a miss of nearly 160 150,000 on that. Took a while it did take a while to push on and this gave the opportunity for people to get in and what a great trade it was around 115 the usual release for that we pushed higher and since then it's just drifted down from the R2 we did have some other figures out. And I suppose as we come into the the ECB meeting I understand that it's under a bit more cautious approach but a good opportunity nonetheless that number you can see here on the trading economics 27,000 when this this figure came out. Piers was was doing some work next door and he came running across and he goes you know this is a bad number this is the the worst for at least 10 years and I got the the chart up put in five years and okay yeah so it's definitely not 10 years going back and you can see well this is the you know the lowest number we've had since 2010 when we had negative readings so really bad number here. And you know you have analysts some analysts over overnight and yesterday suggesting well now you're starting to see the impact of the trade wars and the global slowdown really coming to play here. It would obviously be prudent to you know use this as a guide for the non-farm payrolls which is expected to come in at a similar number so knowing the ADP is missed by so much you know you will have a bad number half priced in. On Friday off that headline but as we know certainly over the last couple of years or so on the non-farm payroll day it's all about the hourly earnings for that just having a look at the fed probability for rate cuts now this was again something that it took me by surprise I was coming back we had a seminar here last night for the students that come in over the summer for the internship program. And I was just doing a bit of research before I was going on to talk and there was an article just posted from the FT not this one that you see on my right but the one I'm going to show you and this was effectively this time yesterday where you've got the probabilities of rate cuts and you can see June you know guess you can call that 10% July between 40% and 50% and then after that ADP reading. We really have now priced in I mean 63% chance 63% chance that there's going to be at least three rate cuts in 2019 I was saying this to Charlie the stage one mentor here as well and I mean he couldn't quite believe that's what the market necessarily priced in and fought itself and I would be surprised myself if we were to have three cuts for now but quite interesting to see just from that ADP number now you have this growing sense of concern for sure that on Wall Street and also you hear that the US economy is facing stronger head wings just as a trade war between America and China is has stalled, has hot it up so non farm payrolls I would usually certainly in the last couple of years have said it's a it's a much about nothing but it could be quite an interesting one you know if we were to have a really bad number where the Fed are going to look to act and just having to look at the countdown the Fed watch tool so for June 28% chance of of a cut as we go into July you've got that I mean it's it's going to happen by the looks of this 72% chance of a rate cut in in July so these figures worth keeping an eye on if you if you haven't used this this tool before it's definitely useful so I just pop that into into the chat just to get an idea of what the the market is is pricing in and and what to expect but you can see just from this chart here on on the financial times just the probability of those three cuts just the way that's really pushed on and and that ADP number being so weak I mean this look at that incredible incredible and it was a shot to the market I mean the one of the biggest shots yesterday was just how long it took for the dollar to weaken I mean here we've got the put this on to well maybe even a minute chart and that's up to scroll back so give me a bit of time so you can see yes we had the push but I mean this initial Algo spiked if you like was only 68 14 ticks and for the worst reading since 2010 you know then we came back lower before pushing on I mean obviously like I said it's a great opportunity would have been a bit confusing at first to have seen it stalled but decent push higher nonetheless eyes on non farm payrolls and if we have a look at the dollar recently over the last well I mean you can argue first you know two first days ago on the on the euro dollar but we've had the dovish comments from power we've had the dollar weakening elsewhere you know affecting gold prices pushing on and on you can see that recovery you know of this this push higher yesterday in gold we did come back lower when we had some dollar strength so you know the market is still susceptible or gold I should say still susceptible to strength of the dollar so you know really surprising maybe if non farm payrolls will come out really good you know a good opportunity to to get short gold but like I was saying we've had these dovish comments from from power and this has led to some weakness definitely in the dollar and the euro dollar has pushed higher in turn which makes this easy be meeting quite interesting so you've got the picture of draggy here and he's ever the professional usually the the press conference is a well I guess pretty boring by you know that's probably what he wants you know doesn't want to give too much away but certainly looking at just doing the research this morning and we sent out a good a good article by an article so research material from from ran a school that they did so that should be in your inbox is of anyone didn't get that do let me know but certainly looking at this this meeting I think it's it's got the opportunity for certainly to get to the downside anyway just due to the fact that the the the euro dollar has pushed higher that we could effectively correct if you like or we've now got quite a bit of room to come lower since the last meeting eurozone growth has improved to 0.4 from that 0.2 so this is obviously a positive being encouraging for the ECB and confirmed its assessment that the recent slowdown does not consist of an outright risk to imminent recessions so okay that's ticked one one positive however on the flip side the inflation numbers for may badly disappointed so the inflation headline to 1.2% year on year in the core worse at 0.8 so quite away away from that 2% goal and by a larger margin then had been anticipated comments on inflation those those forecast will be key it's pretty much bang on priced in that they are going to lower the 2019 forecast for inflation so you hear that I would be I would just brush it under carpet move on what will be interesting is that they are going to lower 2020 as well also what's been quite interesting as well is the the bring this in here the ECB cut percentage so not too long ago we were talking about an interest rate rise in equity market in in Europe at the well they were calling it what what is the the back end of summer so was it going to be August October November when they were looking to rise rates now it's looking like we're actually in July next year we're going to be lowering interest rates so yeah one to to keep an eye on I think the who would want to be a central head of central bank at the moment with obviously the trade talks all going on and or not going on sort of weighing on on policy and making it hard and with draggy of course July August September October November five months before he's headed out it's odds on now that he's not going to raise interest rates in his couple of terms that he has done which is is pretty incredible to say the least but that those inflation forecast will be certainly one to to keep a close eye on at 1245 today UK time and then any comments on that 130 speaking of trade for the ECB obviously talks between US and China broken down as we know trade war has been intensifying weighed on stocks we have had a slight recovery of course helped by power but these these comments on on trade will be interesting especially as we just overnight had the the Mexican sort of gap lower on the idea that they're not going to be spart and there's no deal right there for now and when draggy you know it said risks are moving to the downside regarding the trade he's also list protectionism so this is this is the word for now protectionism and we want to a dictionary definition I've got one right here for you the theory of practice of shielding a country's domestic industries from foreign competition by taxing import so it's all about this now what is the situation between the US and Europe the the delay on on tariffs was seen as a positive will be it briefly for the markets we saw rally in the DAC we saw rally in the Euro only to come back down partly that day but then over the coming days as well so the comments based on on what's going on between the US and Europe will will obviously be quite key and the US has kept its fret to hit the EU with levies on cars and car parts so yeah it's certainly an interesting one the ECB also has pledged to keep interest rates current or lower levels until at least the end of 2019 so that really has pushed on you know they this is now you know the the hiking in autumn is of course not priced in whatsoever and now it looks like the markets are expecting by July next year a rate cut free rate cuts now expected in the US pretty unbelievable you know new age economics if you like where these rates are just so low and the markets can't seem to deal with them so those new forecast I mentioned obviously at 12.30 or 1.30 I said you have the opening statement from from dragon last few ones have been pretty boring also worth noting the last few meetings we've either gone higher to come back lower in the press conference on Golanola to come back to pretty much exactly where we were so the idea that maybe there's going to be a long lasting effect from this press conference or meeting I would say it is slim but certainly from an opportunity it could be a good one to the downside just considering how we have recovered and the US at the moment is a seems a much more attractive place for an investor than certainly Europe. So those inflation forecasts as mentioned will be important to keep an eye on and if they were to change that well downgrade the 2009-19 outlook expected at the 2021 and if they're pessimistic on that the euro certainly will have a bit more more room to fall if you like elsewhere in markets. Obviously we've well we had a couple of comments overnight Chinese President Xi said the economy is improving and that China has ample room to use policies to deal with risks. Menunchkin US Treasury will meet PBOC Governor Yi Yang at the G20 Finance meeting in Japan so these comments slightly more positive for stocks and my view on US equities and inequities in general is I think we do continue to push higher in the short term. I don't necessarily think the the push to all-time highs is again ready just yet but maybe the next week or so we might just have seen a shorter term bottom. We'll obviously remain to see how that goes as well but that's just my my personal view on that of the interest see what you guys think. Have we seen the the bottom short term bottom for stocks or have we you know or have we seen the bottom and we're going back up to the highs. Trump was was in Ireland yesterday as well I'm sure anyone on Twitter was was enjoying those comments when he was starting talking about a border wall between Ireland and Northern Ireland in typical Trump fashion going there and he was saying how everything's going to be OK for you guys as well to Ireland. He is now off to France for the 75th anniversary of D-day landings. I think ultimately from the meeting with Ireland more questions that were there than answers. Also the I mentioned at the beginning Theresa May has one day left before standing down and standing off to overseeing that conservative leadership. Michael Gove yesterday said that he could live with another short delay to the October 31st deadline. Again another question what's I've just seen a question there from Andy wonder what colour tie a draggy will wear today. Well these are the important questions but certainly with the October 31st deadline. You know who thinks and let me know in the in the chat why or and yes or no who thinks we will have left Europe deal or no deal by 31st of October. The comments overnight from from Gove stating that he is not to bothered if you like by a continuation past that. The rules going forward we briefly touched upon this yesterday from a good tweet from Adam Linton at Ranscork about the leadership race. The rules here are by candidates need to be nominated by eight members of Parliament a higher bar than previously. Nominations open and close June the 10th so expect a lot of movement over the weekend names in the hat people back in this person people back in that person. Obviously Boris is now back to even money maybe even bit below now so you've got to be slightly careful about maybe looking to get too short the pound if it does look like he's going to be favourite for now as a lot of that is priced in. I would only start looking to go heavy short the pound if he steps up his rhetoric on no deal. Conservative lawmakers then vote in a series of secret ballots to knock out the least popular candidates. Sometimes candidates withdraw themselves that will happen. I think you know to save a bit of pride people might just remove themselves ahead of that the ballots then continue until the short list of two emerges for my better money. I think that's going to be gove and I think that's going to be Boris. I think at the time when we were when when Theresa May resigned I think you know gove looked good money at 10 to one he's now down to fives. Understanding Boris is still the favourite despite the the court order. The final pair then take part in hustling around the country from June the 22nd. A Conservative party's estimated 160,000 members mail in their votes. The process wraps up week of July the 22nd. We know there's recess in August we know August is a quiet month so you know are they really going to get anything done. It gives them maybe September to do stuff and then next thing you know it's October and Europe are going to change their mind and well maybe we're just about to see just how. I'm not going to say good Theresa May did but how hard it was for her to do anything. May obviously remains Prime Minister until that successor is chosen. It's quite interesting as well. It's just having a look down according to a poll or research I say 64 of card carrying Tory members are men 40% are over the age of 65. Significantly 86% regarding the leaving the EU is the most important issue facing the country according to the December analysts. So I mean this is quite old and perhaps not worth looking too far into it. But the one thing I found quite interesting two thirds of Conservative members back a no deal exit. Boris has been leading this race for the main most part of it. Gove as well as said previously he likes the idea of this no deal which brings us back on to the pound and in my opinion despite you know if we have a look certainly at the recent trend of May the top of the May here 132. You know we have come down a fair whack and that is you know the uncertainty that is perhaps Boris as well. I do think if he was to step up that rhetoric of the no deal and be very bullish and hawkish in that talk then we do have have a bit more room to come down and unfortunately and you know I'm a longer term pound bull if you like. I think we could get down to 122 quite sharpish. But for now those those trend lines we've talked about in previous times in the previous low from you know the 2017s have held pretty pretty good. And if anything that's just in the range right? A weekly range going back from 17 September last year to the double bottom now and the double top as well. So from here technically we go higher hopefully as I'm off holiday tomorrow. But any questions as usual guys please do let me know just having a quick look at the calendar and just for the guys watching this later on. One, two, three, four. The majority of people were saying we will not get a deal done by 31st of October and I think that resembles as well a bit of the market pricing in that and the uncertainty which markets obviously hate. Just going back to the calendar having a look here we have the GDP revised figures from Europe not expecting in any way a reaction from that. One because it's revisions two because you have the ECB at 1245 press conference 130 as well. Weekly initial jobless claims also at the same time as the press conference very rarely is going to move the market anyway. But obviously focus is going to be on Draghi's opening statements from then as we go into the back end of the afternoon or the back end of the morning. We've got Carney speaking obviously Draghi as we mentioned 130, Kaplan the non-voter 140 before Feds Williams at six o'clock. There's been some decent opportunities in the market following Fed comments so just be close watching those times and any positions that you do have as it could of course be to the detriment to not have that risk management in place. But I hope you'll have a good trading day will obviously be on the mic closer to the ECB but I hope you'll have a good day ahead.


The Rocket Mortars Classic tees off on Thursday, so let's break down my top options for DFS on FanDuel.com. In the upper tier, I want to build around Will Zalatoris at $11,800. Zalatoris obviously does have issues as a putter, but he's shown in majors he can have spike weeks on the greens. If you can add that to what he does from a ball striking perspective, Zalatoris could win at any moment. Zalatoris leads this field and DataGolf's True Strokes gained across the past six months. He is tremendous off the tee, tremendous on approach, and he makes a lot of birdies. That checks all the major boxes, so as long as he can not blow up on the greens, I think we could see Zalatoris finally get his first win this week. In the mid-range, I love Chris Kirk checking in at $10,000. Kirk is another guy who checks a lot of key boxes. He ranks 11th in the field, and birdies are better gained across the past 50 rounds, according to Fantasy National. He is 9th off the tee and 24th in approach, and Kirk ranks 8th, and DataGolf's True Strokes gained across the past six months, despite ranking 18th in salary on Fandil for this week. We've seen Kirk play well at Detroit Golf Club the past couple of years, so for $10,000, Kirk, to me, doesn't leave a lot of questions unanswered as a mid-range play on Fandil. As a value play for this week, I love CT Pond checking into $8,800. Pond hasn't shown a ton of upside just yet, but he has the building blocks to get there for sure, primarily because Pond can definitely make some birdies. He ranks 28th in this field, and birdies are better gained across the past 50 rounds per Fantasy National. Pond, not bad as a bentgrass putter, he ranks 23rd in approach as well. He seems to put it all together in the same week in order to get one of those high upside finishes. I think that he's a bit under salary here. We know that Pond has the floor to make the cut and finish decently, and I think his ceiling may be better than what he has shown recently. So CT Pond to me at $8,800, a good value play on Fandil for the Rocket Mortgage Classic. That's all we got here for this week on Fandil. Good luck to you with your PGA DFS lineups. We'll talk to you once again next week here on the Fandil Hurry Up.
