Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you some of the major news developments from across the world, our headlines. Republican states in the US eased lockdowns, despite warnings by public health experts. WHO calls on the US to reconsider its move to halt funding, warns of a longer battle against the pandemic. Trump says that US Navy has been instructed to destroy Iranian vessels that supposedly harrass US ships. Germany announces sweeping measures to protect workers' wages. We begin with our daily update on the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of cases has crossed over 2.64 million with over 184,000 deaths reported. In the US, which continues to be the worst affected, political divisions go on as Republican party state governors have decided to ease restrictions. South Carolina, Georgia and several southern states have already eased restrictions on most businesses, much ahead of the time stipulated by public health experts. A similar move is expected in Ohio as well, which revealed earlier today that they will come out with a plan in the next few days to open the economy. Public health experts have warned that restrictions on businesses and public movement needs to continue at least till the first week of June in 12 states, including South Carolina, Georgia and Ohio. Many critics of this move, including the Democratic governor of New York, have raised fears of a second wave of infections if the easing of restrictions happens to politically to political interests. Even President Donald Trump, while appreciating his party's governor, said that Georgia's lifting of its lockdown was a little too early. Since last week, the federal government led by Donald Trump and Republican himself and various Democratic party governors have been at loggerheads over plans to reopen the economy. Despite widespread public support for the lockdown measures, right-wing and conservative groups and the Republican party have made it a political platform against Democrats. Michigan governor Gretchen Wittmer has also announced that a plan will be shortly revealed on lifting the state home orders. That those debris issues, the director general of the World Health Organization, has called on the U.S. to reconsider its stand-on withdrawing support for the U.N. agency. The U.S. has recently declared that it will halt all payments to the WHO over allegations of it being China-centric pending a review. The accusations have been widely condemned both within and outside the U.S., with many arguing that the Trump administration was trying to distract from their mistakes in handling the issue. Gabriel Suze warned that the virus will affect humanity for a long time to come. He also warned that there is a worrying upward trend in outbreaks in different parts of the world, and that the virus will be with us for a long time. He insisted again on the need for international cooperation in fighting the pandemic and for the U.S. to come on board on global efforts at containment. The statement by the U.N. head came in response to the U.S. government agency USAID, which was the biggest source of funding for the WHO, initiating an investigation of the U.N. agency. USAID will be investigating the supposed delay of the WHO in warning the U.S. and other countries and their lapses in dealing with the COVID-19 outbreak. Other allies of the U.S., including Australia, have raised similar accusations against the WHO and China. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also echoed Gabriel Suze's call for international cooperation in solidarity. At the same time, he also warned of political actors trying to use the pandemic to further autocratic and repressive policies. He also raised cautions about the rise in hate speech, targeting of minorities across the world, and a general tendency towards social strife being witnessed across the world in the name of battling the virus. Apart from targeting the WHO and China, the U.S. is also continuing its belligerence in the Middle East. Yesterday, Trump tweeted that the U.S. Navy has been instructed to shoot down and destroy any Iranian vessels that may supposedly harass U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf. The statement comes on the same day as Iran launched its first military reconnaissance satellite in space. Though Trump has not specified any incident that may have triggered the message, the U.S. had recently condemned the Iranian satellite launch. According to reports, senior U.S. officials from the Defense Department have denied any change in rules of engagement with Iran in the West-East Asia, but insisted that the tweet was just a warning to the country. The spokesperson of the Iranian Armed Forces retorted to the tweet, pointing out that the U.S. military should be more concerned about a COVID-19 outbreak among its troops in Iraq than bullying smaller countries. The German government today announced a package to protect all employees' wages and to provide tax relief to small businesses to help them from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The parties of the ruling coalition led by Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU CSU and the leaders of the Social Democratic Party negotiated the details of the package late on Wednesday night before it was announced today. The package is mainly about low-income workers in small businesses such as catering and other hospitality sectors. According to the package, those workers who are forced to sit at home and have seen up to 50% reduction in their work hours will get 77% of their total net income if they still do not get a job for a full working hours after 4 months. They are currently paid about 60-67% of their total income. Those who still need relief after 7 months will receive up to 87% of their income. The package also announced reduction in the rates of value added taxes for small businesses from the current 19% to 77%. The new rates will be effective till June 30th, 2021. The current package will be worth more than US$10 billion. This will be in addition to more than US$800 billion relief package announced previously in March. Meanwhile, in the rare positive outcome of the pandemic, an annual commemoration of Croatian Nazi collaborators had to be cancelled by the organizers due to the outbreak. The event, to honour the Ustasek troops that had allied with Nazi Germany during the Second World War, was scheduled for March 16th in Austria's Bleiburg by right-wing forces in Croatia. It was strongly opposed by progressive sections, leftists and the Jewish community in the region, with a call to ban all such events that celebrate the fascists. Even though the opposition did not have much of an impact, the outbreak of COVID-19 in central Europe forced the cancellation of the event. In our infocus section, we take a look at the steep decline in oil prices and their impact on the economy. That's all we have in this episode of the International Daily Roundup.

In a small town enveloped by mist and mystery, a man named Mike stumbled upon a peculiar bootleg copy of Windows XP. Little did he know that this seemingly innocuous discovery would unleash a terrifying chain of events that would haunt him for the rest of his days. Mike, an avid computer enthusiast, had always been on the lookout for unique and obscure software. His insatiable curiosity led him to the dark corners of the Internet, where he stumbled upon a forum post claiming to have a rare version of Windows XP. Intrigued, Mike couldn't resist the allure of this forbidden software and immediately downloaded it. As soon as he installed the bootleg operating system, strange occurrences began to unfold. The familiar Windows XP startup Jingle was distorted, sending shivers down Mike's spine. The desktop background displayed a haunting image of a desolate abandoned house, with shattered windows and overgrown mines. Mike navigated through the operating system, only to discover that it was plagued with glitches and malicious programs. Pop-pop windows filled his screen with maddening messages, warning him of impending doom. The once familiar interface transformed into a distorted nightmare, with the icons contorting into grotesque shapes and the taskbar pulsating ominously. Unnerved but unable to resist the enigma, Mike delved deeper into the bootleg XP. He soon noticed that the files on his computer began to disappear, replaced by cryptic text documents containing snippets of chilling stories. Each document spoke of inspeakable horrors, haunting tales of lost souls and malevolent spirits. As the minutes turned into hours, Mike's sanity slowly crumbled. He became a prisoner of his own curiosity, unable to escape the clutches of this cursed operating system. Every night when darkness blanketed the town, the bootleg XP would summon eerie whispers from Mike's speakers, whispering his deepest fears and darkest secrets. Haunted by the relentless torment of the bootleg XP, Mike sought out help from experts in the field. Computer technicians and hackers alike were baffled by the sinister software plaguing his computer. They warned him that the bootleg XP seemed to possess a malevolent consciousness of its own, feeding off Mike's fear and growing stronger with each passing day. Desperate for a solution, Mike embarked on a perilous journey to uncover the origin of this bootleg XP. He traced the digital breadcrumbs back to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. Inside, he discovered the remnants of a long forgotten computer lab, where experiments on consciousness and artificial intelligence had taken a sinister turn. In a final act of bravery, Mike destroyed the bootleg XP, eradicating its presence from his computer. But the horrors he had experienced would forever haunt his nightmares. The memory of those chilling whispers and grotesque images would forever be etched into his mind. Years later, Mike became a recluse, plagued by paranoia and haunted by the ghost of the bootleg XP. He warned others of the dangers that lurk in the depths of the Internet, urging them to tread carefully and resist the allure of forbidden software. And so, the legend of Mike's bootleg Windows XP lives on, a cautionary tale for those who dare to venture into the dark corners of the digital world.


What's going on everybody? My name is Alex Fevering and in today's video we're going to be doing a Q&A of your questions. Now before we start, I wanted to say that I just moved into a new house and so last week I was in my kitchen, this week I'm in my dining room. And so I'm still trying to figure out a place to shoot these videos every single week. So if it changes from week to week, I apologize.  So I hope you don't mind the thermostat in the background. I hope I find a better place. If not, this might be my place that I'm going to shoot my videos. I just wanted to say that where I shoot my videos might be inconsistent for a little bit, but I will find a place where I'm going to consistently shoot those videos from week to week. With that being said, let's jump into the very first question. It says, how much Python do data analysts use in their job and do you need to be advanced? I think that is a very reasonable question because a lot of people do not want to learn Python. It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort. So a lot of people just want to skip it and do SQL and Tableau or something like that where they don't actually have to learn Python. I think there are a lot of data analysts jobs out there where you don't need to know Python, where they just have SQL, Excel, and maybe like Tableau or Power BI, and they don't actually use Python at all. So no, I don't think that you have to know Python to become a data analyst. I didn't know Python for the first two years in my data analyst career, but from my job that I'm in now, I had to know Python in order to get the job. So I think that Python does open up a lot of opportunities, especially as you advance in your career. In terms of how advanced you need to go with Python, I don't think you have to go super advanced. I would learn pandas, NumPy, I would learn a few visualization tools like Matplotlib and Seaborn. I think if you learn those staples at the beginning, you should be set and you'll definitely learn a lot more along the way. The next question says, is there any possibility for a data analyst to become a data scientist? And is a master's in analytics good? I do think that there is a natural progression from a data analyst to a data scientist position. They use a lot of the same software as a lot of the same tools and a lot of the same programming languages. It's just a little more advanced on the data scientist side. And that's why you typically are going to need more STEM backgrounds or a master's degree in certain areas. Before the data scientist role, you might need to know a little bit more about data modeling, machine learning and maybe NLP. And so it's just a little bit more advanced things than what a data analyst typically does in their position. And yes, I think that a master's in analytics is a good degree to get, especially if you plan on being in this field for a long time. If you want to make it a little bit more broad, you can do a master's in computer science or a master's in statistics. But yes, a master's in analytics can be good to get. This next one says, how do you feel about including online courses in your resume? I have two nano degrees from Udacity and does it hurt to put them in your professional development section in your CV? I have a bachelor's and currently rounding up my master's and looking to get a data analyst role. I live in Germany and resume of two pages is mostly recommended. I think this one is a hard one to answer because I think it's very dependent on your resume, the types of courses and nano degrees that you're getting and how much experience you actually have in the field. I think that skills and experience should take up the vast majority of your resume. And so if you don't have a lot to put on your resume because you don't have a lot of experience or you don't have a lot of skills yet, yeah, I think that your nano degrees should go on there. But I think the further you get in your career, the less those courses and nano degrees mean because your experience is going to speak for itself. The next question says, what company do you think would be better to learn simultaneously? Sequel and Tableau or Sequel and Python? I have some experience with Sequel and programming took a couple of college classes for PHP and Visual Basic. I think for the vast majority of people who are trying to get up and running quickly and get a data analyst job, that Sequel and Tableau is going to be the absolute go-to combination because Sequel and Tableau you can learn so fast. You can learn that as little as two months where it may take three or four months to learn Sequel and Python because Python is a lot more difficult to learn and takes a lot more time. I think that Sequel and Tableau are an amazing place to start, especially if you aren't super confident in your programming abilities. And then later on you can learn Python as well. This next question says, do I need a degree still? What's the point of wasting my time learning this but not making a job offer? Also, how much total does this cost to have enough learned for success in a career? I know I've said this before but you do not need a degree to become a data analyst, but it absolutely helps to at least have a bachelor's. Because having a bachelor's degree is normally a minimum requirement on most day-to-day analyst jobs and so at least having a degree is extremely helpful. Again, you don't need to have it, it just really, really helps. And in the second part of that question he was asking about the courses that I recommended in a previous video and I think that, no, those courses are not going to get you a job, they will set you up to have the skills needed to get those jobs. And so the things that are going to get you a job, especially if you don't have a degree, are a really good resume, some type of experience, and a portfolio of really good projects that showcase your abilities. And so for the Udemy courses you can learn all the ones that I recommended for about $40 and for the Coursera one if it takes you a little bit longer, maybe two or three months for about $100. So if you're able to get an entry-level data analyst job for just $100 by self-learning, I think that is a really, really good deal. The next question is, how can I transition into a career and data analysis as a communications and PR specialist, although I have an ample knowledge of Power BI but plan to take courses in SQL? I think you're asking the right person because when I first started out, I knew absolutely nothing, I had no experience in this field and I just learned the skills and applied. I think the biggest thing you can do is get some type of experience, which is either an entry-level job, some type of internship or even volunteering. Any of those options provide really good experience and you can learn a lot of the skills that you need to progress your career really fast. And the last question for today is, what were you doing before? I am an English teacher applying to study for a Master's in Data Science. How did your previous job affect your ability to get, flash, keep your current job? So before I became a data analyst, I was working at a behavioral health hospital and I was going around doing group therapies with people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, suicide, all those types of things. It was actually super interesting and I really enjoyed it. I just happened to get the opportunity that kind of led me down the career path that I'm at now. And honestly, I don't think that set me up for the career that I have today at all. I really did start from scratch and just work my way up at a very entry-level job all the way up to the job that I have now. Although I will say that working at people at a behavioral health hospital has really helped me understand software developers on a much deeper level.

I'm really glad you messaged me. I haven't had this much fun in years. Me neither. You haven't changed a bit.   Maybe this is our second chance. Yeah, I'm married. I mean, don't we owe it to ourselves?  In front of our house? Not what it looks like? That's good. Because it looks like my wife is kissing another man. What?  That is scary. It's okay sweetie. Daddy's fine. We're going to ask him in a moment, okay? I think I'm going to leave. I'll call you, okay? I do not care what your story is.  Sorry one second. Lunch ran a little long so she's still packing her bag. Hey Lizzie? Mommy's here to pick you up for her weekend. Lizzie told me on the phone that she met Daddy's new friend the other day. Megan and I have been together for a while now and it just made sense. And it turns out they adore each other. Actually there is something I need to tell you. And I've been thinking about it for a while. I'm going to ask Megan to marry me. And it's just, it's the right time. With her and Lizzie hitting it off it just seals the deal for me. Also Lizzie's going to be the flower girl. And you're more than welcome to be there for her. Listen, I hurt you. And I'm sorry. I had a whole lifetime of happiness ahead of me. And I threw it away for like 10 seconds. And the guy that didn't even call. I lost you. I lost Lizzie. I lost my home. He wasn't worth it. I'm sorry. Hi babies. I'll have her home by 5 on Sunday, I promise. Congratulations. We all know that cheating is never a good idea. It hurts the person who you're with. And in the long run, just like in this story, it can end up hurting you as well. Sometimes it's time to break off an old relationship that's not serving you anymore. Other times, you need to concentrate more on making your current relationship even deeper and even more meaningful. And if you don't want to hurt the person who you're with, either you let them go and move on, or you don't allow yourself to be in situations where you might be tempted. Because we all know relationships are tricky, but you know what's never tricky? Doing the right thing.

Finally, the time has arrived. It's time to look at the best naturopics techs of 2024. If you're unsure which naturopics supplement is the best for you, watch the video till the end and you will know for sure. Hey friends and welcome to your Inception's YouTube channel. My name is Greg Ostenkar and on this channel we're on the hunt for the best products, naturopics and supplements to boost brain performance. I have reviewed over 200 naturopics supplements since 2016, so rest assured you came to the right place. Now, just before we begin, there are two important things I need to share with you. First, we have noticed a massive shift in the industry from using synthetic naturopics in capsules to using natural powders, which you can prepare like coffee and drink them. And the second one is that we have a new winner this year, so stay with me till the end to find out which product it is and why. And no, we are not sponsored by any of the brands, but we may get a commission if you order through some of the links that are in the description. That's how we can finance this channel. Alright, let's begin. On the sixth place this year, we placed Alpha Brain, exactly like last year. Yes, Alpha Brain has been on our list for a while now, but if they don't change their formula this year, I don't think it's going to be on the list next year. Now, this is still a very good naturopics tech, but the formula is really old now, so I don't understand why don't they optimize it. I guess the sales are still great. Now, Alpha Brain still works the way it used to. It provides the energy kick, it keeps you focused for a few hours. It also supports your brain performance and health, so that's great. But since the formula hasn't changed for so many years, many people still experience side effects like nausea and headaches by taking Alpha Brain. And if they finally optimize their formula, this problem would probably be gone. The optimal dosage is two capsules per day taken in the morning after breakfast. Don't take them on the empty stomach because you may suffer from the adverse side effects that I've mentioned before. Now, regarding the price, Alpha Brain is relatively expensive at about 80 bucks.  And if you use my discount code below, you can save even more. So yes, Alpha Brain is still on our list, but I have a bad feeling about it for the next year. It's a decent stack that will do the work, but at that price stack, it just isn't for everyone. So, if you're a fan of ONNIT, then go for it. But if not, I think there are better products on our list. Recuring the fifth spot on our list this year, again, is Natopia. We added Natopia on our list for the first time last year and it stayed on the list this year as well, which means it really is a great product. Now, Natopia distinguishes itself by offering partially personalized natropic stacks, showcasing some of the most potent formulations I've ever encountered in my extensive testing. Now, their array of formulas comes with a hefty price tag, with their top-tier world domination package exceeding 300 bucks. During my evaluation, certain formulations caused some side effects, but others were just outstanding. One of Natopia's formulations stood out for its extraordinary potency, delivering a cognitive boost that genuinely astonished me. Now, despite its impressive strength, Natopia doesn't claim a hard position on our list because of two key concerns. First, risky compounds. Natopia still includes two potential risky synthetic compounds for long-term use, which are illegal to use in Europe. And second one, ingredients dosages. So the lack of transparency regarding the exact dosages of all the ingredients in their stacks sets off a red flag for me. Now, ordinarily, I steer clear of products with proprietary blinds, but given Natopia's undeniable potency, I felt compelled to include it. However, it's crucial to heed the warning about the potential risks associated with their undisclosed ingredients and dosages. Now, in my assessment, Natopia emerges as a double-edged sword, too risky and expensive for regular use. However, for sporadic consumption, perhaps around a few times a month or so, it might be worth considering, especially on those exceptionally challenging days. Natopia could be the pick-me-up one you really need this extra boost because you're gonna get it from Natopia. Now, if you wanna try it out, check out the links and my discount code below. Okay, on the fourth place this year, we have Thesis again. So what's the buzz about it? Well, it's the pioneer in personalized natropic brands which are growing in popularity. Now, the Thesis experience kicks off with a personalized touch.  Together, you embark on the journey of optimizing your daily stack with the refined formulas delivered to your doorsteps on a monthly basis. Now, the uniqueness of this approach begs the question, how accurate is the assessment and how much you can actually personalize on tropics? Well, based on my experience, most people need to take the same kind of compounds most of the time, but then there are a few compounds that you can and you should personalize, especially when you combine such powerful compounds together. So I see a clear benefit to what Thesis is doing and that's why it is on our list. Now the key advantage of Thesis lies in streamlining your natropic regime. No more juggling 15 or 20 different options, only those that generally work well for you. On the flip side, determining the optimal combination after a brief test poses challenges. My natropics take weeks to exhibit their full effects, making it challenging to identify the perfect combo during a short trial. Additionally, some tropics offer remarkable long-term benefits that might not manifest in the short term, adding another layer of complexity. Now despite its imperfections, if you lean towards at least partially personalized stacks, Thesis could be the right fit for you. I am confident that many individuals will find value in this approach. Now, at a price of around $80 if you subscribe, I believe this is a good deal for what you get. Now check out the special discount code and a direct link to their store below. And now let's continue with my top free rated natropic stacks of this year. By the way guys, if you like this video, please press the like button below and subscribe to my channel. Claiming the third place is Mindlet Pro. Now Mindlet Pro has been on our top list since the very beginning and unlike AlphaBrain, I've seen a reason why this should change anytime soon. This natropic stack is a powerhouse featuring optimal dosages of some of the most potent natropics.  The effects manifest as a subtle brain lift lasting for hours with amplification or extended use. Now Mindlet Pro shines in the realm of long term usage. While the initial impact might be mild, especially in the first few weeks, the true strength of this supplement unfolds over time. Some may use Mindlet Pro just for a short period, but I believe that if you invest into longer term use, you'll get the whole aspect of what Mindlet Pro can offer. For optimal result, the recombined dosage is 2 capsules per day, but for those seeking an extra performance boost up to 4 capsules daily can be taken. And for me, 4 capsules are just perfect. So when it comes to advantages, Mindlet Pro contains high quality natropics, it is safe for extended use and the stack is suitable for both beginners and advanced users. Yet, every rose has its thorns. Mindlet Pro presents two main drawbacks. Firstly, the absence of a subscription model may be suboptimal for users, although they can compensate it with special discounts on multiple packages. Secondly, the lack of immediate effects while advantages for avoiding stimulants might disappoint those looking to replace their daily coffee cake with Mindlet Pro. At the current price of $69 per bottle, and with additional discounts and free shipping for bulk orders, Mindlet Pro offers a competitive deal. Now Mindlet Pro undeniably stands as a stellar choice. Packed with potent natropics, effective and suitable for product use, it checks many boxes. So if you're in search for an outstanding all-arounder, Mindlet Pro is the go-to option. Now find the link below if you're ready to make the purchase. But if you still want something stronger, keep on watching. Securing the second place in our rankings is the champion of the previous year, Qualia Mind. Now Qualia Mind distinguishes itself as an exceptionally intricate natropic stack, boasting staggering 28 natropics, three times more than the majority of stacks we have reviewed. This powerhouse is not just about immediate cognitive perks, it's a holistic solution for focus, energy, productivity, motivation, long-term brain health, protection and neuro-regeneration. Additionally, it carries the potential to alleviate stress and anxiety. The inclusion of premium and potent extracts truly sets Qualia Mind apart. Now to unlock the full spectrum of benefits, the optimal daily dosage stands at 5-7 capsules. While this may initially seem substantial, it becomes routine with consistent use. Lower dosages may show effect over an extended period, but the sweet spot for peak brain performance lies in the 5-7 capsule range. Now the main pro of Qualia Mind is the comprehensive 28 natropic formula that offers robust short and long-term benefits. But the problem is that the exceptional quality of Qualia Mind comes at the price. At approximately $140 per bottle, it may be considered a premium investment. However, subscribing can yield over $100 in savings for the first month only, presenting a remarkable deal. Another drawback is the volume of the capsules, but for most users this proves manageable. Now, Qualia Mind is nothing short of remarkable. Having personally supplemented it for years, I remain a big fan of it. The cognitive benefits span across focus, attention, energy, creativity and memory. When evaluating crucial factors such as quality research, formulation, dosages and customers' feedback, Qualia emerges as the unrivaled, pinnacle Indian tropic development. It is tailored for bio-hackers, highly active professional students and anyone invested in optimizing their cognitive performance. Qualia Mind stands as one of the best solutions on the market. And for those steering clear of stimulants like caffeine, there is even a caffeine-free version available. Now, final links and my exclusive discount code below. Now, if Qualia Mind is such a great stack, why didn't it win this year? Well because I believe there is a better stack on the market that will completely change the industry. And that is Magic Rudy, the winner of 2024. Before we continue on important caveat, this is the entropic stack that my team and I developed for ourselves. Yes, you heard it right, my team and I spent around 9 years researching entropics and testing hundreds of formulas each year and after years of hard work we got this amazing idea for a stack that we could drink instead of take capsules. It would substitute all of the stimulants, it would be 100% natural and it would be perfect for short and long term use. And here it is. By the way, if you think I'm biased, well, just hear me out because this stack is definitely not for everyone. Now, Magic Rudy is a 100% natural, superherb and mushroom blend that contains some of the highest quality entropic extracts on the market. It contains rhodiol, lyricell, lancemen, curisceps, alpina, galanga, cacao, urbimate, maca and even a natural source of vitamin B3. This stack was developed to provide all the energy and focus without energy crashes, stress or jittery, so it's a perfect coffee substitute and also an amazing entropic stack that you can drink every single day to feel amazing.  But that's not all. You'll get additional benefits such as neurogeneration, brain health, improved immunity and hormonal balance. It provides 4-6 hours of peak brain performance, which is absolutely amazing. Now the optimal dosage is one drink per day, but you can take up to 2 drinks when you need an additional boost. So how about its main pros? Well, it's a 100% natural stack that contains only well-researched ingredients of the highest quality that have been used for centuries around the world. There's not a single synthetic entropic in the stack, so if you care about your health, well-being and longevity, you'll have a hard time finding anything similar on the market. Besides, it tastes really good, way better than some of the other products on the market. It has a nice cacao taste, but there's no sugar sweetener in it, so you can prepare it the way you prefer. And it's very affordable, at about $1 to $1.50 per dosage, it is one of the most affordable stacks on the market. Now obviously no stack is perfect nor is Magic Rudy. It has 50mg of caffeine per dosage, and that caffeine comes from your vomited tea. It's just the opposite of coffee because of the additional compounds, like Tio Bramain, so there are no energy crashes or jittery after drinking it. But if you search for a caffeine-free supplement, that's not the one for you. And the second disadvantage is that this product was made for health-conscious people. Primarily, we made it for ourselves, but then we decided to share it with the world. So if you're completely unhealthy, if you don't care about your habits, your sleep and your nutrition, the product will be less effective. So to my verdict, yes, after 8 to 9 years of research, I finally decided to create my own Nutropic stack. And of course I'm going to promote it, as much as I can, but not just because of the monetary benefits. I do it because this is an absolutely fantastic product that I've been using for the past year or so, and I'm feeling great like never before. Could I make this product better? Well, honestly, I don't believe so. Sure, I could make many different types of Nutropic stacks, but for me, having a 100% natural and effective stack that I can drink every morning without worrying about the potential long-term side effects is the most important thing. That's why we made it, and we already have thousands of set-aside users around the world who just confirm what a great product we made. And to show the world how effective our product is, we're in the middle of a big clinical trial that we run with the local university. So in a few months, we'll have the results, which I'm sure are going to blow your mind. Now, to try it out, there are links in my special discount code below.  If I had to select just one stack for the rest of my life without hesitation, I'd go with Magic Routine. For an in-depth exploration of this exceptional Tropics stack, watch my personal experience in this video up here. Thank you guys for watching, and I hope to see you soon again. Stay well.


My clicker is not working. Noted. All right. Hi This this is fine Cheers People love to imagine the future. What will it look like? Will we have cars that run on electricity or even drive themselves or? Huge warehouses staffed only by robots May be wristwatches that you can use for communication or entertainment or A global job market enabled by instant worldwide video communication We may not yet have jetpacks robot butlers or flying cars But in many ways we are already living in the techno futuristic utopia envisioned by futurists in the 50s We ask tiny machines living in our kitchen what the weather is like We have supercomputers in our pockets that allow us immediate access to any information We have fridges that order more milk when we run out And you can go to YouTube right now and see prototypes of new airships and flying cars And in case you're worried they look hilarious Isn't the future glorious It's all so exciting that we don't tend to think that much about what could go wrong Are we building Skynet is how plotting against us? Are the robots coming to steal our jobs? The answer to that last question is yeah, probably an Oxford University report of 2017 estimates that by 2055 half of all current jobs will be automated Now it's worth noting that we're really really bad predicting the future futurists in 58 predicted that we would have a chess playing computer by 1968 And that actually took us 40 years and This oft quoted Study about half of all jobs being automated actually has a 20 year margin of error Which means it could be really really soon or it could be ages But either way, this is a problem that we need to start thinking about now The thing is we've always been terrified that automation is going to come and take our jobs The term technological unemployment to refer to the loss of jobs by technological change was coined in 1930s by the Economist John Maynard Keynes But it's a problem that's as old as the wheel Public works and handout programs of ancient China Egypt Greece and Rome were all responses to fears of technological unemployment Aristotle said that if machines can become sufficiently advanced we would have no need for human labor and This fear has often resulted in outright bans on technological innovation Queen Elizabeth and James the first both refused to issue a patent for a time-saving knitting machine For fear that this technology might cause unemployment amongst textile workers Speaking of textile workers, who here has heard the term Luddite? Okay, so a Luddite is somebody who opposes technological change or isn't comfortable with it If you know somebody who thinks iPhones or newfangled devices and refuses to touch one that is a Luddite The term is actually derived from a secret organization of English textile workers in the 19th century They were afraid of these new machines that would put them out of work And in response they went around smashing textile machines as a form of protest This was such a problem at the time that there were more British soldiers fighting the Luddites in Britain Than there were fighting Napoleon in the Iberian War Eventually Parliament made machine-breaking a capital crime and one of the most prominent defenders of the Luddites was actually Lord Byron Whose daughter Ada Lovelace would go on to become the world's first computer programmer By combining the technology of Babbage's analytical engine With a system to give programs and date the machine that was actually based on the punch card system of the Jackard loom So innovations in the textile industry in spite of it being so against Innovations actually had a direct correlation to the invention of what would eventually become the modern computer When Gutenberg and verse invent introduced the printing press in 1452 so the first one It provoked complaints about German interlopers driving honest Italian scribes out of work and there were protests in Paris But it also revolutionized the publishing industry across Europe It led to an explosion in literacy and a flourishing of the arts which ultimately led to a number of new jobs Over the years we've largely replaced a whole lot of jobs switchboard operators travel agents stockbrokers Check out clerks grocery clerks Pilots are still employed But most of their work tends to be done by autopilot algorithms and their job has become more supervisory Bank tellers have often been replaced by automated machines The average bank now only employs 13 people instead of 20 But with the advent of these machines the banks pass those cost savings along and actually opened more banks And now there are more bank tellers employed We think of computers as plastic boxes and machines But the original computers were actually humans and mostly women a Computer just meant somebody who computes mathematical tables for scientific actuarial military work and this work was considered quite grueling and Performs by humans until the advent of electrical computers In spite of all these changes our economy has improved consistently over the years We see that this has happened over and over again, and we've been fine We've been better. We work less and we enjoy a higher quality of life So what makes it different this time the first reason is scale The number of jobs that we expect to be automated in the future is Staggeringly high. There's that 50% number again, and it's not isolated to one specific industry It runs across the gamut It's often not the tasks that you do expect as well And this is known as more of axe paradox The things that are easy for a toddler to do like climbing stairs or reading emotions are actually really difficult for computers to do But the stuff that we find difficult to do like logic is incredibly easy for a computer to do There's a website. It is will robots take my job calm Where you can find out how at-risk you are As a general rule right now the more procedural and systematic your job the more you should start looking for something else So if you're into data entry telemarketing or tax preparation learn a new skill If however, you are a social worker and occupational therapist or surgeon. It's cool. You don't need to worry Surveys generally find that people are concerned about technological Unemployments, but they don't think it will affect them and we've often assumed that certain jobs are safe I'm a designer. I do creative work. There's no way a machine could do that That was true for a while when AI's were largely algorithmic and needed to follow rules But advances in machine learning which combines pattern recognition with massive amounts of data Mean that computers can now do a lot of tasks. We thought they'd never be able to do They can beat humans at chess at go and at jeopardy They can write books this one nearly won a Japanese literary award, but its characterization station was a little meh They've composed music convincingly enough to pass the Turing test and trick humans a Computer even wrote a stage musical that was produced on London's West End And it was called Android Lloyd Webber So it's clear that we aren't safe just because our jobs are creative The other reason that it's different this time is speed It's all happening incredibly quickly Technological progress is more or less exponential Who's heard of Moore's law? Okay. Well, this is Moore's law, but you all already know that Basically, it was a rule set up in 1965 By the founder of Intel George or Gordon more somebody more Basically saying that computing power would double every two years He predicted that that law would hold true for around 10 years But it's been consistent for the last 50 One small note. These look like linear graphs, but they're actually logarithmic Which means that this rather than being a straight line is actually an exponential curve Which is boring graph stuff that basically just means there's a potential here for uncontrollable growth and That what has come before it isn't a reliable indicator of what will come next or the speed at which it will happen the flip side of this is for the increase in Computing power we also see a corresponding decrease in the cost of products as More work is done by machines the cost of those goods decreases and we can afford more So these lower prices theoretically mean that companies can hire more humans for other human work Just like banks hired more humans in more bank buildings And we also have new innovations that are enabled by new technologies and those lead to more jobs Ultimately there's always going to be more work Imagine if somebody gave you a robot tomorrow that could do all of the boring parts of your job Would you still have things to do? Maybe you could focus on the things that humans are better at like caring or innovation or playing Angry Birds The trouble is that our economy isn't currently well structured for human beings Corporations are incentivized to maximize shareholder returns not necessarily to make a profit Which means that wealth is accumulated for a small number of people and it isn't evenly distributed Millennials are the first generation we expect to be worse off than their parents and the gap between the rich and the poor is ever widening Now this gap actually tends to be a lot smaller in the Nordic countries Who coincidentally also worry less about automation and tend to be happier across the board But that gap is actually increasing faster in Finland Sweden and Germany than it is in the US So this gap is a global problem What can we do to ensure that these changes to our economy? Don't disenfranchise swaths of the population and contribute further to global inequality how about or Maybe We often talk about market forces as though they are inescapable like tides or gravity But we invented them So we can change the rules We need to push politicians for policy change so we can work within these new systems This could take a number of different forms we could just work less in 1870 we used to work an average of 62 hours a week and that fell consistently for a while But it's been stagnating and even increasing since the last financial crash A recent study in the UK actually found that switching to a four-day work week didn't impact productivity in any way But it definitely impacted people's happiness an idea that's currently taking hold in the United States is that of a job guarantee Which is basically a federal program to provide a guaranteed job With decent wages and benefits to anyone who happens to need one And this has caused a lot of excitement Ivanka Trump decided to weigh in on it saying that I think that this idea of a guaranteed minimum is not something most people would want It's pretty rich coming somebody from somebody who already has a guaranteed minimum for life But generally speaking people want to work. We want to feel as though we have a purpose But work and jobs aren't necessarily the same thing There's a lot of valuable work that we can do without needing to have it be attached to a company caring education innovation Universal basic income or UBI is a way that we could allow for work. That's unconnected to a job The idea being that all residents of a country receive a set income regardless of means and It's not new. It was first described in 1516 in Thomas Moore's utopia But people are still really uncomfortable with this idea like it'll make us lazy in 2016 77% of Swiss voters rejected the idea of UBI in a referendum Finland actually just released preliminary results From their two-year UBI study in which they paid a random sample of 2,000 unemployed people 560 euros a month With no strings attached the findings at the present are that it increased people's well-being but didn't lead to an increase in employment levels and they've since Introduced some more restrictive Rules in terms of how welfare is distributed There's a really interesting study in Kenya right now. It's the largest UBI experiment to date The expected number of recipients exceeds 26,000 people and it's going to take 12 years Again, they just give them free money in a lump sum or spread out over that time period with no strings attached This can reduce the administrative costs of managing a welfare state Because you don't need to track your citizens or have them prove that they're looking for work You don't need to know who's working or who's not and everyone just gets enough money to live on It means that you can quit a job You weren't happy and to look for another or to start a business or to go back to school and learn new things Or to take care of others It's a way of giving power back to individuals and removing some from corporations I'm not an economist, but I have high hopes this could help us build a more equitable world But on an individual level, what can we do? Ultimately, we can't fight technological progress. It's going to happen regardless of whether we like it or not So our best bet is to plan for the worst case scenario and assume the most radical predictions turn out to be true There are two keys to surviving the robot revolution as an individual One is embracing the new technology Recognize that even if it seems scary, it's going to happen and start thinking that this technology is for you It's not here to replace you. It's here to make you better. You can use it to augment your own abilities and skills and Then teaching yourself to work with it rather than get then against it Some of this is policy employers should be providing ongoing training for employees and we need to encourage people To adopt lifelong learning and constantly upgrade their skills as the economy changes But we have one advantage right now in that there's a lot of information on the internet So this is what I wanted to do. I didn't want to be a Luddite I wanted to see how these tools could benefit me and I spent a year trying to make this happen Mostly for selfish reasons Before I joined automatic I freelanced for eight years doing client work and I got bored of it I wanted to do larger scale work. I wanted to work on products and I joined automatic to do that and somehow found myself working on client work again So I wanted to really like make sure it's stuck this time But I'd also been talking to a lot of small businesses and I realized that most small businesses can't afford good visual design They don't have access to that and I as a human. I'm not scalable So I started to think of it like this. I can use computers to streamline my process and Generate mock-ups that might take me hours in a matter of seconds In doing this I become a creative director. I basically give myself a promotion This is augmentation. It doesn't replace me, but it allows me to focus on other things To act as a conductor instead of a violinist So I could work faster or I could charge less and do more and work with more people I Could focus on polish once the basics were nailed and I had a better baseline to work from Or I could just do more innovative work or get something done on my endless to-do list Somewhere along the line this sort of became my white whale And it's the thing that I'm always talking about or thinking about and the spoiler alert here and Maybe the disappointing thing as has been pointed out. Where's your robot? I don't have a robot. I have not yet built I know right? It disappoints me too, and I was trying to get it done in the last five minutes, but I'm not quite there yet I'm not a developer or a data scientist or a stutter Titish I Can't even pronounce it. So like it's not happening And machine learning is hard and it's statistics and it's kind of weird and I've had some struggles Figuring it out a friend of mine who does statistics recommend me a book that she swore was gonna be super helpful She said it's written like a cartoon Sarah It's so easy you're going to love it and I was so excited and I ordered it and it's 800 pages And it's currently a doorstop and I have never read any of those pages. It's terrifying But I realized Maybe I don't need to figure this out in five minutes or one year What if I could figure it out in ten years? I can do ten years. I have time So that's what I'm doing now and I'm breaking down the problem into little pieces and taking them one by one Starting small sharing what I learn as I go along Because I think that open sourcing this kind of work and Sharing even in our failures Means that we can share this technology with everyone rather than having it centralized in one place Giving people access to the new means of production in our updated economy So that the benefits of that technology will be better distributed So I started by looking at the parts of my job that could be automated We think of design as this sort of emotional hand-wavy process, especially the visual parts It's driven by instinct or by what feels right and That's what it looks like on the surface, but it's actually more about pattern recognition and Machines can do that now if I could learn to teach one to do it So I itemize my process into logical steps What would I do when I sat down with a client to design them a website and Then I tried to teach a machine to do some of those things So the first step is to collect lots of content I knew from my research with small business owners that writing content for their sites was a real blocker It was very intimidating for them But a lot of them also have content elsewhere on the internet on Facebook on Instagram on Twitter And we could leverage that content So our first step was to build out this API and a flow that gathered all that information and pieced it into a logical hole Now we built this out Algorithmically and I thought this was going to be like the two second step at the beginning and then we could get to the Interesting stuff. It turns out this bit was actually really complex to get right It took a lot of time and a lot of testing a lot iterating to be able to piece together all those pieces of content in a way that made a logical site But once we got it sorted out it was actually pretty magical It allowed you to build a website in a matter of seconds from anywhere I used to walk around town on my phone building websites for people as I was walking the businesses that were around me and it actually worked pretty well We pulled content. We pulled photos. We pulled their logo We built a color scheme based on the logo and we pieced all those parts together to create the con site content in the final step We set logical defaults. So if we couldn't find any photos for a business, we'd pull photos based on keywords from pexels This had some weird side effects I once built a site for a Scottish tourism agency And it ended up with a photo of a white sand beach and a palm tree I live in Scotland. I don't know what part of Scotland that is but it's not the part I live in So it's really important here to make these smart guesses and defaults But allow for people to correct them in case our system didn't get it right After that content, I'd have clients fill out a brief asking a bunch of questions What's the purpose of your site? Who's your target market? Give me some adjectives to describe your organization. Tell me designs that you like What sort of mood or feel do you want to the site? And that part can be automated too. So I designed a flow to collect this information It was based on the questions that I asked clients and it used sliders to gauge the mood which would then determine the field As well as a free-form adjective input for more granular and specific results Now this is where the machine learning bit would come into play Because I know from context and experience that if somebody describes their business as simple and bold They probably want a sans-serve typeface really clear saturated colors But if somebody describes their business as organic and natural, they're probably going to want a more subdued color palette Maybe some papyrus. I don't put papyrus in but a computer might We can use machine learning to train a computer to know this as well So everybody can have papyrus if they really want it The next step is presenting these options The human way of doing this is spending a bunch of time thinking and drawing up things and Hours or days or weeks of work and I would present a few designs as style tiles and the client would choose one Usually would choose parts of different ones and then we'd go back and forth until we landed on something They'd like and that whole process would take at least weeks But if we could automate this part, then it becomes immediate more or less We can present two to begin with and then if the client doesn't like them We can immediately generate more with no extra effort time or cost And we can record their preferences and feedback as data Which we feed back into the model to make it smarter and more accurate and the next time the model makes a guess It's a little closer and then after hundreds or probably thousands of iterations and guesses It's able to make smart design decisions that reflect the client's needs and tastes Finally once we have all those visual choices The last step is to take all that content along with the style choices and use it to build a site This part we actually did do We used the business's logo to generate a color scheme It doesn't work very well here when the logo is black, but it works better on other things and We generate the color schemes algorithmically following the same sort of patterns and rules that I would use We applied into the site with CSS variables and we build out the site Now we actually built this before we had access to Gutenberg And it meant that a we had to build a whole editing interface like a front-end editing interface on our own And we found in testing that users were really confused when they went from the easy interface To the one that wordpress.com was using at the time So we never ended up launching this And now that we could use Gutenberg that story would actually be different There are actually a lot of parallels between Gutenberg and Offimation People are sometimes worried that they'll put them out of a job because it makes it easier to do some tasks We would have previously needed humans for But if we look at the problem in the same way We have better tools that provide us with a better baseline on which to work on This is an opportunity to innovate and already we're seeing an ecosystem That's flowering with lots of innovation and new ideas coming out Just like with automation we need to embrace this new technology and learn to work with it rather than against it Ultimately automation is coming in some form or another at some point and We can't stop it no matter how much me we might want to So instead of fighting it. Let's work with it Let's ensure that the robots work for us the people Remember Thank you Thank you, Sarah I'm kind of blown away now. I don't even know where to start. You were so disappointed. I didn't have a robot Kind of understood the robot is kind of living inside your head still and some of it's living inside a computer and so on So maybe in 10 years the robot will leave my head. Yeah But we do have time for audio questions, so please raise your hand if you have questions for Sarah Otherwise we have to make up that's true Yeah, yeah, that's like a walking metal box and I think it would have been a lot cute or had I been able to bring one So I'm gonna try that for next time Maybe in London Who knows I can do that You have time Star preparations Any other questions I will also be around and I'm happy to talk about robots. I love talking about robots So I will need I will have to create a question for you.  The last one was the most important question Are you trying to do the same with the Gutenberg now kind of automate the process that I'm gonna build your Company website in two minutes when you can answer these questions and afterwards you have what you showed So the original thing that we built that I showed the screenshots of was That was your robot coming in Was sort of an experimental Thing of exploring how can we make a website more quickly because we knew that that process is very slow and arduous for people And it involves a lot of switching between screens and WordPress Now the Gutenberg is available and we knew the Gutenberg was coming But we couldn't use it while we were doing it which made doing it very difficult because there was this big paradigm shift coming That would make it a bit easier One of the things I'd like to do is try to take parts of what we built there because I'm not working on that right now Take parts of what we built right there and Sort of repurpose them and Incorporate parts of Gutenberg into it. So the building the site part is really quick and it's seamless Because I I tested what we built with a lot of people and what happened was we went through this whole flow We showed them a website and we let them edit parts of the website So they could change the title that we pulled up or the images or whatever and they they were good right up until that process and once they got to the end there was a button that said launch your site or something and then it launched their site and it made Them a wordpress.com site that converted it and Then they ended up in an editing screen in wordpress.com or the customizer or something and people just got so Confused and they kept saying things to me like can we go back to the easier one? And I was like I would love to take you back to the easier one. Um, so Rebuilding that part of it now that we can access Gutenberg and use those components and move things around more easily Would be a key part of making that whole thing actually happen Does that answer some of the questions? Yeah, at least the last one I I kind of see that kind of in my head already that you Want a new website and you don't have a big budget Ten thousand dollars or something and you still don't have the capability actually You know to do actual website. You don't even know how the blocks works But you kind of start with that a kind of idea and you can kind of Just fill in the blanks first and it actually creates you at least the homepage I don't know if it creates for all the blog post in the same time with the CO and stuff like that it will you mentioned the book for example does it Could it kind of write your blog post? Also, that is definitely on my giant long wish list one of the things that I Realized from talking to a lot of people and I focused a lot of my my the sort of research user research that I did on small business owners who tend to be most time strapped and Least sort of tech technically capable they would love to hire somebody to do it But they can't afford it and they try to do it themselves and it's a painful process And part of that is just fear of you get this blank page What on earth do you do with it? and so we were trying to sort of Find ways that we could make that easier for people because if you give them something to start from and then they can Just edit it that's a lot less intimidating then here's a white screen that you have to fill with stuff And you're not quite sure what? So in progress Well, we're stunning Hello, you mentioned that The the system is based around that you Finding content from Twitter or Facebook and so on and so on and so on But what happens if you're a brand new Company that doesn't have any web presence whatsoever, but and your budget is ten quid And you'd still like to have some sort of web presence. How would this tool then help you? So that's Definitely the non ideal situation that we weren't designing for and from Sort of the data that I looked at it seemed like that was actually 50% of businesses who had no presence whatsoever It was about half half half had lots and half had nothing So we try really hard to find them and if we couldn't find anything we'd sort of fall back to a more wizardy process I just wanted an excuse to draw pictures of robots But it would ask okay, so what's your business name? What's it about and you sort of fill in the blanks and then it would pull from that and then you'd get to okay Well, we've made you a site based on the answers you gave us So it's still a bit more wizardy than just well, here's a website do what you can with it But it's definitely easier when you have that content one of the things we looked into doing and never got around to was Sort of like a mad libs approach to content as well About me actually does this really well It asks you for a couple of things you're interested in and then it makes like a paragraph of text That's your bio that includes the stuff that you're interested in It's a really easy way of making content While asking for really a really small number of inputs So that was sort of what we're driving toward there Great. Unfortunately, we don't have time for other questions anymore. We have a 20 minutes break now so we'll continue in 20 minutes in here and in the Track one. I'll see you later and pick up laws for sorrow


Hey, folks. Rob here. If you watch my other show on YouTube, Polycast, you may have noticed recently we've been doing a lot of episodes on accessibility. Accessibility is a crucially important topic for anybody building components, because without it, there are some users who will be completely excluded from your experience. According to the World Health Organization, about 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability. And to put that another way, we're talking about 1 billion people worldwide. So that's a huge audience that may be missing out on your app. And in general, we found that when you address accessibility issues in your application, you tend to find just UX problems that, when fixed, benefit all of your users. So for that reason, I wanted to create a new show here on our YouTube channel dedicated specifically to accessibility. We're going to call this show AliCast, or A11yCast. A11y is shorthand for accessibility. So you start with the A. You've got 11 letters in between, and then a Y at the end. The goal of AliCast is to take this really important topic and put it front and center so that all developers can have a better foundational understanding of how accessibility works in the platform. If this sounds interesting to you and you'd like to tune in, then you can go click that little Subscribe button and catch us back here later this week for the very first episode of AliCast. As always, I'm Rob, and thanks for watching. If you're excited and you want to learn more A11y goodness, check out some of these other talks that we have on the channel.


Hey, it's Alex here from AlexFegers.com. So I've just released my latest article on Why vegetarian and vegan diets aren't the best for long-term health and I go into some pretty detailed reasons and explanations as to why this is the case. So please check out the whole blog on my site But I do want to go through a few things first. So as you can see I'm in my garden here I grow a lot of vegetables. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits as well But I also do eat meat and a big reason for this is because I am focused on improving my health and my performance both sporting performance and cognitive performance So what's the issue with vegetarian diets and vegan diets? Well, let's run through a few points The main or the first thing is around protein. All right, so One of the issues is it's actually quite hard to get adequate sources or intake of protein on a vegetarian and Vegan diet. Okay. So obviously, you're not eating muscle meats, organ meats, bone broth, even eggs, dairy, cheeses, things like that If you're a vegan or not in dairy Protein deficiency can lead to all sorts of issues like skin and bone issues Hair issues Poor recovery, suppressed immune function. Now the issue is around the quality of protein you're getting. So Protein is made up of building blocks called amino acids and these amino acids There's like 20-odd amino acids, right? And so for proteins we created you need one of all of each of these amino acids. Now Muscle meats, animal products have complete Complete amino acid profile. Whereas a lot of the vegetarian plant-based Protein sources are incomplete in regards to their amino acid count So this means you're gonna mix and match various sources. All right The issue with this is you can you can end up with deficiencies in various amino acids Specifically if you're missing things like glycine from bone broth Plays important role in health and bone health and gut health. It's also side effects from having lots of vegetarian Vegan vegetarian based protein sources. So, you know lots of beans Nuts seeds that sort of thing often the high in poof is polyunsaturated fats The high in lectins anti nutrients which can cause malabsorption of nutrients and minerals in the body And also they're really high in carbohydrates. So if someone's trying to lower the carbohydrate intake It can be hard on a vegetarian diet. There's also issues around fat So it's really hard to get quality Saturated fats and cholesterol when you're on a vegan or a vegetarian diet Two important fats are CLA and DHA. They can be hard to consume or very hard to Consume on a vegan diet in particular And then there's also a lot of fat soluble vitamins that you'll be missing out on when you're not eating animal fats Linking in the vitamins and mineral issues There are some important minerals and vitamins that are hard to consume on a vegan and vegetarian diet examples include iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and vitamin A and sure you can often get these forms Through plant-based foods, you know like spinach You know fermented foods You know various grains and whatnot have these vitamins in but often they're the They're not well absorbed or they're in quantities that are quite low Especially compared to like animal products, you know take liver for instance It's often regarded as nature's multivitamin because it's not only chock-full of vitamins and minerals But it's it's forms of these minerals that are easily absorbed Finally, there's an issue with like things like creatine, choline, carnicine Three they're called the four C's and I go into a lot of detail on this in the blog So check that out There's all hard to consume on on a vegan and even the vegetarian diet And then finally there's a long-term issue So a lot of people will switch from what's known as the Standard diet standard-wisting diet and they'll clean up their act and they'll go on what they think is a healthy Vegan or a vegetarian diet and in the short term they feel great a big reason is this because of this is because they've Changed to like an organic diet and I've cut out a lot of the processed seed oils and junk food and you know Sugar salts whatever else is was being consumed previously. So there's a big big change in the diet And they see the short-term benefits of this, but then all longer term. There's a lot of issues That's when you know six women's down-regulated They have skin issues immune issues may be energy issues. It's when they start showing Signs of malabsorption So it's really the long-term issue with these sort of diets I understand like a short one or two three week diet on a vegetarian diet can be great But when that turns into three months or three years, it's generally when a lot of problems come into into play So we've got nothing against Vegan or vegetarian diets are some of my best friends are vegan and again I spend a lot of time growing my own food and veggies and I ate a lot of them myself But I do recognize the importance of quality meat bone broth eggs Shelf shellfish organ meats as well, and I'm not saying you should be eating these all the time and You know that you have to use the the feedlot and growth hormone Injected animals or anything like that because that's something that I'm quite passionate about and I will seek out You know quality meats quality eggs from sustainable Well farmed sources all right, and so that's my choice But with my clients that I work with who come to me for health gains, then it is as well It is an area where if they are caught up in a vegetarian or vegan diet it is something that I'll educate them on and hopefully get them eating a little bit more fish meat eggs even even milk Incorporating these things into the diet That's all for me hit to alexvegas.com and check out my article on on vegan diets and vegetarian diets And you can read the full eight reasons why it is essential to eat meat and dairy and cheese and all those other good things in your diet Take care. Bye


Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave. This time a bride-to-be, a corpse in a plush bungalow and a southern droll behind a gun all had one thing in common. They moved through the same deep shadow. It happened like this. From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction, comes his most famous character in The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Now, with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's exciting story, The Deep Shadow. Hello. Mr. Philip Marlowe, please. This is Marlowe. My name is Hovery Kettering, and I'm to be married in four hours at nine sharp. Congratulations. I hope you'll be very happy. But my bride is gone. Disappeared. I need your help. Now look, if you've been left waiting at the altar, I can't. No, no, no. It's nothing like that. She's in trouble, Mr. Marlowe, I'm sure. No. Shirley loves me. Now, I'll pay anything you say, 200, 300 anything, only get out here fast, please. Oh, wait a minute. Where is here? 3840 Sunswept Drive. It's in Studio City just across the hills from Hollywood. 3840. Take the Marlowe Canyon. Now look, Mr. Kettering. Please, Mr. Marlowe, please. Okay, okay. All right, Mr. Kettering, I'll see you. The address he gave me turned out to be a healthy chunk of old Spain. A whitewashed house that spread out for at least 100 yards under a pink-tile roof. I was admitted by a butler with owl eyes, no shoulders, and a small bay window, and we played follow the leader of a cool marble ankle-deep Persian rug and inlaid Philippine mahogany. Finally, I was ushered into the ballroom, which was big enough for a highlight match. It was decked out for a wedding from the champagne buckets and dead-over-ice lobsters to a pink rose-covered canopy at the center. And in the middle of it all, a chain smoking while he worried was my new client, Harvey Kettering. Mr. Marlowe, I'm afraid there isn't a moment to lose, so I'd better tell you what I know quickly. But let's step outside on the patio. All right, Mr. Kettering. Mr. Marlowe, last night, Shirley and I... What's her full name, Mr. Kettering? Doyle. Shirley Doyle. Oh, yes, here. Here's a snapshot of her. She's 25 blonde, and as you can see, Mr. Marlowe, very attractive. Yes, all right. You started to tell me about last night. Oh, yes. We were out together at a nightclub, the Blue Chip. And Ventura Boulevard? Oh, yes. Now, we'd never been there before, yet I think that's where it started. What do you mean started? Well, when we were leaving the place about midnight, I called a cab. I was just giving the driver Shirley's home address, the Moore Park Court Apartments, when suddenly she told me to get in and told the driver to start at once. You know why? No, I thought perhaps she'd seen somebody coming from the club. But when I asked her about it, she said it was just her nerves since tomorrow is her wedding day. I see. Then today she was supposed to call, but she didn't. At two I called her. Talk to her? No, she was gone. But I talked to the daymaid. She said when she arrived, she brought in a note that had been left outside Shirley's door. There's one of those lever message pads in a box on her porch rail. She said it seemed to upset Shirley terribly. Mr. Marlowe, what are we going to do? Now look, have you been over there to Shirley's place? No, I haven't. Got a key? Yes, I do. All right, Mr. Kettering, you have the key, so let's go. But what shall I do about the guests? Nothing right now. We may be lucky. There are only three rooms, Mr. Marlowe. What do you suggest we do? Well, first let's look for that note. She may have left it here somewhere. You try the bedroom. I'll start with the wastebasket. Full of papers. All right. Just do the same, Mr. Marlowe. Yeah, sure. Endicott Clinic, 321 North Rossmo... Say, Kettering, what does Shirley do for a living? Oh, she was a receptionist, Mr. Marlowe, at a medical clinic on Rossmoor. Oh, I figure. Uh, Mr. Marlowe, Mr. Marlowe, I found it. The note the maid spoke of, it's the same paper written with a soft pencil, like the one attached to that box outside. It was on her dresser. Give it here, let's see it. Dear Shirley Doyle, guess who I ran into last night? Francis Dragato. Suggest you meet me at the corner of Ventura in Witzett Boulevard at 1030. Not signed, huh? Is Francis spelled with an E? Yeah, yeah, the girl's name. I've never heard Shirley mention a Francis Dragato, and a public street corner wouldn't be much of a place to check five hours out. After people met, would it, Mr. Marlowe? No, I suppose not. Uh, Mr. Marlowe, what have you got? What is it? Hmm? Oh, a page torn out of the classified directory listing of theatrical agencies. Lined through by a pencil made down a C. The last one crossed out is capital artist. Yeah, that makes Drake Talbot agency next. Well, she never had anything to do with show business, Mr. Marlowe. What do you think it means? I don't know. Uh, you going to check with the Drake Agency? No, my first stop's going to be where you were last night, the blue chip. I know the owner, Eddie Shaft, and Eddie knows an awful lot, including things that, uh, aren't always exactly his business. Maybe able to help us if he wants to. Uh, shall I come along, Mr. Marlowe? No, no, you go home catering. I'll try to deliver you a bride before nine. All right. Uh, shall I pay you now? Now, we'll let it go, COD. I have the slightest idea what I'm going to run into. The snapshot of Shirley Doyle my client had given me. Reminded me of the kid you went to school with. You know, she had the kind of well-scrubbed look you knew was quick to smile, but I knew that she could be in a lot of trouble if she was tied in at all with the dapper Eddie Shaft. After dark, the blue chip was one of those cozy, soft lights melting on thick drapes kind of places. It made you forget all about the stiff prices for limp food. But now, it a little better than five in the afternoon. Under wide-eyed, unblinking work lights. It had all the cushion come hither of a union hall. In one corner, a skinny musician with a golf ball complexion was working over a clarinet. While in the middle of a dance floor with no more diameter than the hole in the candy lifesaver, a girl was standing on a piano stool. She was smoking and looking straight ahead at nothing. A red shingled hair, promise of a nose and plunge neckline tagged her as the singer on the posters outside. One Miss Cocky Netherlands. The place is closed, soldier. Glad you told me. Never would have known. Never mind the routine, soldier. Just come to the point. What do you want? Just a few words with the bus. Eddie or not? No. No, he's not. How about his bungalow and coal water canyon? You mean it hasn't hit the papers yet? What's the connection between Eddie and the headlines? Soldier, Eddie was stabbed to death sometime this morning. I'll be kidding. Sometime between 9 and 11 the cops say. Well, it was so long ago. Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, Cocky. Do you have any idea who did it? No, except that maybe it was a dame. Any description on it? The law isn't gabby about things, soldier, believe me. If you don't, try Eddie's bungalow yourself and find out. What's up, will ya? Oh, yeah. Mooney, don't forget to have that fingerprint crook over his other car on that back porch rail. Hey, can they start the body downtown now? Yeah, I guess so. We're not gonna get any smarter staring at him. Hi, Matthews. Huh? Oh, hello, Phil. What brings you up here? Curiosity. I was in the neighborhood. What's the setup? I hear it's supposed to be a woman. Could be. Where do you hear this? Sing her over at the blue chip, Cocky Netherlands. Oh, her. Yeah, well, she's clear. She was home right up until noon and she can prove it. This happened a little before noon, an hour or so. But it was a woman all right. What makes you so sure? Oh, Phil.  Also, some long-nosed neighbor saw a girl. Said she was young, maybe blonde. She wasn't sure. Saw her run out of here a little after 11 this morning. All this adds up to somebody in particular, huh? Well, it should, Phil. Norma Mayetta. Norma Mayetta's her name. She was Eddie's dearest. You see, it should add, but it doesn't. She left town last night for Chicago on the 1 a.m. plane. We checked it. Of course, Eddie Shaft went with a lot of girls. Excuse me. I'm so right. We just got hold of that night cashier over at the blue chip. Yeah, what do you say, Mooney? Shaft took 50,000 bucks and small bills out of the office safe last night. Oh, what time? About 2 a.m. Had it in a large Manila envelope. Yeah. Nothing even close to a Manila envelope turned up here, has it? No, Lieutenant, but that gives us another angle to shoot at. All right, Mooney. Pass the word to the boys. Okay, Lieutenant. Look, Monal, just a passing thought. Fine. You sure you're just curious? Yeah, yeah, I'm sure, Lieutenant. Well, look, I'll see you. I'll give you a call. Oh, wait a minute. Look, I know all about your professional ethics, you know, relations between client and private detective. We won't go into that. We're going to go into something else very briefly, Phil. You know, the law on many points is quite clear, Monal. Clear like what, Matthews? Clear like the status of an accessory before or after the fact in a murder case. And like aiding and abetting a criminal. Like a lot of things you know all about, Phil. Keep them in mind, will you? Okay, Matthews, yeah, I'll see you. Since the Lieutenant hadn't mentioned Francis Dragato, I didn't see why I should. All of which made it a good time for me to cross my fingers and check the name which had been on deck on the list in Shirley's apartment. The Drake Talod Agency. The place which was on Sunset Strip was strictly coy colonial for me at your Mount Vernon Front too. An oversized mirror polished brass knocker on the front door that said my tie was crooked. And I was sure that the gentleman who answered the door noticed it. It was impeccable. In cocoa-brown gabardine, white hire to throw tabbed shirt and also cocoa-brown soaked tie. And at the bottom, there were thick-soled cauldrons with leather laces. At the top, a crew cut over jet-black horn rims. He took the glasses off and long, soft fingers toyed with one stem while he talked. Yes, sir. My name is Philip Marlowe. I'd like to talk to Mr. Drake. I'm Mr. Drake. What was it you wanted, Mr. Marlowe? Well, I'm not exactly sure. You see, I, uh... a Drake, this picture here is cocky in other ones, right? The third one over, yes. She's a client of ours. But this picture isn't what you came to talk about, is it, Mr. Marlowe? What's her home address? I beg your pardon. Come on, quick. It's important. And confidential. This isn't the lonely hearts club, Mr. Marlowe. I was playing a long shot when I knocked on your door, Drake, but now it's paid off, so tell me. Any stranger call for cocky's address today? I don't know, and the secretary's already left. Look here, Mr. Marlowe. What's this all about? Murder, Mr. Drake. A messy one. Now, do you give me the address or do I start after it myself? Well, I don't know. Come on, answer up, Drake. The tower's an apartment hotel on Ivar. Now, one last thing. Don't call her after I leave unless you want to bip the hand-stitched lapels in cops. In just a moment, the second act of Philip Marlowe, but first, you might think that after several years with Gracie Ellen, George Burns had seen everything, done everything, been everything, but this Wednesday night, you'll find George in a brand new role, that of a Flora Dora girl with costume and complications by Gracie Ellen. The Burns & Allen show is heard every Wednesday on most of these same CBS stations, along with the Bing Crosby show and the Groucho Marks program. Now with our star, Gerald Moore, we return to the second act of Philip Marlowe, and tonight's story, The Deep Shadow.  And drove down to Hollywood Boulevard to Ivarn from there up the hill to a five-story air-conditioned monolith with Venetian blinds called The Towers, which offered about as much sanctuary as the Yankee Stadium. I parked heading downhill and walked in across the buzzing green and silver lobby drape with pale, pink curtains and blasé women to the elevator and rode up to the third floor. Cawkey Netherlands apartment was the fourth down the hall to the right and quiet, but the door was ajar two inches. So I wrapped hard enough to swing it all the way open. The answer sounded like a cry for help from the bottom of a well. When I came again, I went in and it took me a few seconds to realize that the noise was coming from my closet. And when I got it open, Cawkey Netherlands reeled out looking like she'd been through a threshing machine. She was here. She was after the money. Who was after what money, Cawkey? Who?  There she is. Shirley! Miss Doyle! Wait a minute! It was Shirley Doyle. She'd been hiding inside near the door. She grabbed a handy oversized ashtray and let it fly at us and beat it. I made it to the hall just as the elevator door closed so I took the stairs and raced it down to the lobby. I got out on the street in time to see Shirley with a large vanilla envelope and one hand piled into a sleek new Hudson and takeoff. I ran to my car to follow up, but that was as far as I got. I was stopped cold. A nasty little gun in the hands of a southern accent behind a pair of strictly Hollywood dark glasses. Be a good boy, honey, and hold it. Now, look, sister, who do you think you are? I'll ask the questions if you don't mind. Why are you in such a fuss over the girl who just made all this? I was trying to get her out of a jam, believe it or not. Well, now, isn't that the dauntless coincidence you ever saw? So am I. Only you want to catch her, and I wanted to get away. But I guess that's life, isn't it, honey? Yeah, in the roar, in the roar. You said it. We got big business together, her and me. And it sure don't include you. Just a minute. This adds like you could be Francis Dragato. Francis who? The Dragato. Me? Oh, that name is much too fancy for the likes of me, honey. I reckon we can break it up now. So why don't you just give me the keys there in your hand? My keys? Come on, give it. That's a good boy. Now, don't try anything silly. And, uh, don't fret, honey.   Take it to a movie or something. You know to cool her off. Well, that's a nice, fresh, though. I'm loaded with it. Yeah, you're loaded. Try me again sometime. So long. Dames. Someday I'm going to get a case where there's no Dames connected. Either directly or indirectly. Parking my car three blocks away, that's fine, fine. Just fine. Hey, hey, going up. Flower, please, sir. Three. Hello, did you get her? No, no, she got away.  Come on, back in the room, honey. What money? Now, look, you work for Eddie Shaft as a singer in his club, but what else was Eddie to you besides boss? Just a minute. I don't see what business that is of yours. It's easy, it's easy. He was murdered. The cops have already talked to me, soldier. I'm clean. Those negotiations can be reopened at any time. One thing, you forgot to tell them anything about dough, and yet they're very interested in 50,000 missing bucks. That 50 grand was right here in the apartment, wasn't it? Well, you can't blame a girl for trying, Marlon. No, not unless she tries too hard. Now, what is the name Francis Dragato, media? Francis Dragato? Okay, skip it, skip it. Where'd you get the dough? Eddie gave it to me to keep for him. Why you? I thought Norma Maida had the inside track with Eddie. Not after he fell in love with me. Oh, no, that's not good enough, baby. There was a double cross. Where was it? I look cocky, you might as well be smart about it, huh? All right, I didn't kill him. But if you can get that dough back for me, I'll split it with you right down the middle. I'm listening. That club of his is dying on its feet. The blue chip's going broke. Eddie and Norma Maida raised $50,000 to keep it going. But Eddie decided to get out for Monday. He got rid of Norma by sending her to Chicago in a trumped-up deal. He put all that cash in one lump and gave it to me to hold.  Only somebody got to him, nailed him, and that left you holding the bag with $50,000 in it. That's nice. Except then a girl who belongs in this mess, like a great grandmother, belongs in a high hurdle race, stepped in and took it away from you. With the help of a Southern accent and dark glasses. Who are you calling? A friend of mine at Homicide. Why are you...  So far you've been lucky, cocky. Don't push it. They're in Matthew's Homicide. Marlowe Matthews. Listen, on that Eddie Shaft case... Yeah, what about it? I got a couple of things you might be of help to you. Now, look, item one. That missing $50,000 is being sought after by a Southern accent and dark glasses. A woman? Yeah, and she pulled a gun on me. Item two. The name Francis Dragato, it ties in. D-R-A-G-O-T-T-O. Ring any bells? Dragato. That's what I said. Yeah, wait a minute. Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember, yeah. Yeah, but it's nothing, Marlowe. It's ancient history. Dragato, I know, was a third-rate burglar shot and killed, resisting arrest down the Sandbar District about five years ago. Way back when I was a proud car sergeant. Look, what about this Southern accent? Tell me, Dragato have a wife? No, no. I think there was a daughter around. Name Francis? I don't remember that good, Marlowe. Look, what is this Dragato business, anyway? Well, so far it's a hunch. That's what I thought. Climb off of it and get down to facts, will you? Who's the dame after that eddy shaft? Money, where did you run into her? I lost her on Ivar. That's not what I asked you for. I know that's not what you asked, but anything else would be a breach of my client's confidence. All right, look, Marlowe, I'm real serious. I'm going to give you just one hour to notify your client and get down here and spill. After that, I'm putting out a call to have you picked up for withholding evidence. Matthew's ain't kidding this time.  That's quite a tightrope, you walk, Marlowe. Yes, sometimes. You're good. And I'm a girl of my word. You get that money back for a minute's 50-50. You're my only chance. Don't kid an old kiddo, baby. You're a girl of two words, double and cross. Good night, cocky. And I found my car all right a half a block from Sunset Boulevard. It took 20 minutes to get from there to the Sandbar District. And I was downhill all the way. It was a neighborhood squeezed and cramped in by a solid wall of massive factories and as festered as the bottom of a bent garbage can. At the corner of River Street and 3rd, I found the house. Three sagging rotten stories of tenement that squatted in the eternal shadow of a huge gas tank like a sick, dirty old man. The proud gleaming giant of City Hall was only seven blocks away. I just as well have been 70 miles. I went up to the door and knocked and finally it inched open just far enough for her face the color of dishwater to peek out. She hissed at me for a minute through the gap where her front teeth should have been and then told me she was mahogus, the manager. Motion me inside. A living room looked like something swept out the back door of it down at the Hill Museum. So, you wanted to know about the dragotas, huh? Yeah, they lived here, didn't they? Maybe, maybe not. Cops got the old man about five years ago? It's possible. What became of his daughter? Why is Francis dragotto? Why? What are you being so cagey about, Ma? Because a bird that asks questions has got an angle, always. The one who knows the answer has got a price, huh? Always. Okay, how far will a couple of bucks go? From here to the door. Two bucks won't even buy a buzz on beer these days. All right, we'll make it five. Here. Oh, that's better. Dirk dragotto and his kid, Francis, had the second floor here for 15 years. His wife died of TB the first year they was here. Oh, she was a smart one, that Francis, had a head on her. She always said she was going to get off the sandbar someday and be somebody. Oh, I told her she'd never make it. It's too far, mister. Kids down here get dirty.  It gets inside them. I know. Tell me what happens to her. I don't know. When her old man got it, she left and never seen her again, not to this day. Probably left town and wound up working the gin mills and some other place. Is that the five bucks worth? Well, you bought sight unseen, sonny. Tell me, you got a picture of her? Yeah. As a matter of fact, I have. Good. She was, uh, 17 at the time. It's kind of fuzzy, but you're going to see she's. Hey, wait a minute, Ma. Are you sure this is Francis Dragato? Say, she lived in this dump for 15 years out. I'm sure I know. She looks like somebody else. The girl who was supposed to get married tonight. I got another picture of Francis here someplace. Women are a better one. Let me see now. Yeah, here it is. This was took down in Olive Vera Street. One of them stands. Oh, that's her best friend there with her, Norma Maeta. Norma Maeta? Norma was a tough little egg. Folks drank all the time and let Norma run wild. Oh, fine. Francis Dragato and Norma Maeta are friends. I'll say. Them two was quite a team. No bed. I always wanted to do something for them girls, but what can you ever do in a hole like this for anybody? You've just done it, Ma. Here's five more. Buy yourself another light bulb. Throw a party with the change. So long. The eyes of one young woman in the chin and mouth of another, side by side, smiling into a camera, had cleared up a lot of questions. But there was one more that needed an answer fast. I called Matthews from the first phone booth I came to, brought him up to date in a hurry, and then asked him to check Norma Maeta's place. And if that was blank to meet me at the Moore Park Court which was the only other likely place I could think of. I crowded traffic lights all the way out, but he and Sergeant Mooney got there almost as soon as I did. And I led them back to Francis Dragato's well-lit cottage. But once she'd taken in her new name, Shirley Doyle, Mooney went to cover the back while Matthews and I moved in up front.  Oh, yeah, they're in here all right. Come on over this way. The window's open. We could catch a little conversation first, you know. It might help. Yeah, if you keep quiet, we can. We can help, Francis, dear. Yeah. I had to get this money now more than ever. You've got it, Norma, for goodbye. Now that stuff, sure it you're going to marry. I'll never know where you really came from or who you really are. Did you get that? Oh, and one more thing, dear, before I go. Yeah? I killed Eddie Shaft this morning. You what? I killed Eddie Shaft. When he put me on the plane for Chicago, I figured something was fishy, so I got off and I came back.  He had an argument. I killed him. Then I remembered seeing you leave the blue chip last night. I needed someone like you to get the money for me, Francis. Yeah, there's your tie-in. I couldn't afford to be seen here in LA when I was supposed to be in Chicago. Not with a murder on my neck. But you were seen by that man who chased me at the hotel. Oh, Marlo. He's still looking for a southern droll and dark glasses. You're the only one who knows the truth, and you're in it with me now. That's what she thinks. I'm not going to let you involve me in a murder, Norma. Getting that money was one thing, but I'm not going to be mixed up in a killing.   I got a good alibi for one murder. It'll work for two. Let's go, Matthews. Yeah, fast. Come on. Stop me now, Francis. Nobody is. Who's that? I'd hold it, girls. We're police. You're not taking me. I'm back, Matthews. Yeah, morning. She's dead, Lieutenant. But you wouldn't stop. She was shooting at me, but she's a woman. All right, Mooney. That gun in her hand, she was a killer and nothing more. Yeah, I suppose she was. If you asked that kid inside, she could tell you what made her that way. Oh, well, let's get out of here, Matthews. I'm bringing Shirley. That is Francis back to me safely. Oh, believe me, Mr. Kettering. It was a real pleasure.  No, no, it's okay, Mr. Kettering. Glad to help out. We're going to be married, you know, right away. Shirley told me the story and wanted to postpone the wedding, but I wouldn't hear of it. Good. After all, I'm not marrying her for the past. I'm marrying her for the future. Yeah. Best wishes, Mr. Kettering. Yeah. Maybe tomorrow when Shirley's calmed down, give her my congratulations, will you? Well, after a long cup of coffee and a lot of conversation about people with Matthews, I finally got my car and headed home to my apartment on Franklin Avenue, which isn't the best street in town, but it is lined with palm trees instead of garbage cans. And the sun hits it all day long.  I was still thinking about it while I got ready for bed. I knew Marh wasn't 100% right. I'd seen the exception of the rule, but she was 99% right, just enough to disturb my sleep. Oh, well, one guy can't change things. Kenny?
