Hi what's up everyone, today's Monday, today's YouTube Live Day. So if you guys don't know for the past three years I have been getting on YouTube Live every single day at 11am. This takes discipline, this takes hard work. So I try to have discipline in my real life so that I can have discipline in the trading world. I have a couple house cleaning things I want to take care of before we get started. So if you go to the myinvestingclub.com website on the top right you're going to see a button that says Free Consultation. This is for non-members. So if you are a non-member and looking to get involved in the stock market, looking to get involved in trading, maybe you don't know if MIC is the right fit for you, maybe you don't know if trading is the right fit for you, or maybe you know you're trading so well you want to see if you could take it to the next level. Go to myinvestingclub.com, click the Free Consultation button and set up a 30 minute consultation with one of our mentors, one of our moderators, Tosh, who is going to help you and teach you for free guys, for free. No one else in the industry offers this and this is completely free. So go to the website, book your call, book your consultation and you know what? That consultation might change your life because it might get you into trading at the exact right time that you need it. So that's number one. Number two is I've been getting a lot of comments on these videos. Why aren't you guys doing more high quality videos? Why aren't you guys getting like a poster board or a white board and giving us lessons? And truth be told guys, these videos are meant to be raw. They're meant to be real. I just finished trading 30 minutes ago and now I'm here educating you on my exact trades. I'm not taking a week to film this. I'm not taking a month to edit this. I'm not putting on any makeup. I'm not doing anything like that. I'm giving you the purest sense of my emotions, my mental, my plan, my everything directly after a trade. And that is more valuable than having a highly edited video. That is more valuable than having a fancy ring light or fancy camera, okay? Don't worry about what it looks like. Worry about the information that's being provided. I could record this on an iPhone 2 and the information will be better than someone recording this on a $10,000 camera. So production quality, I understand you guys want more, but if you guys want higher production quality, you're going to lose the live videos.  That's something that I want you guys to understand is we do this on purpose, okay? Yes, I make millions of dollars. I do afford a new camera, but this is more raw. This is more real and this is more beneficial for you because by the time you watch this video a week later, you already forgot what the hell was moving today guys, okay? So that's number one. All right. Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about trading, okay?      Let me get out of here. So over the weekend guys, we are so excited to trade. We are waiting to trade and then as soon as we get to the desk on Monday as stocks start to move pre-market, we start to get very emotional. We start to let our emotions take control rather than our mentality and for a very long time guys, for a very long time Mondays were my worst days. I used to lose money consistently on Mondays.  But what I do in trading, what we try to teach you guys is whenever you have a problem, whenever you have an issue, try to create a process, try to create a solution around that window or that issue, okay? So I recognize for a very long time that Mondays were very poorly performing for me. So my process told me now.  So let me make it so that my first entry is significantly less size and let me make it so my second entry is significantly more size. So already by implementing that small tweak, that small change in my process, all of a sudden my Mondays went from being my most unprofitable day to knock out one of my most profitable days because I'm getting that FOMO out of the system with my first order. I know my first order is wrong. I know it's wrong. So I purposely use less size on it and my second entry, my second order is usually always right so I use more size on that. So if you're struggling on Mondays, if you have FOMO on Mondays, try to drop your size on that first entry.  This is not a physical sport.   I'm not an athlete in the physical sense, but in the mental sense, I'm an athlete.  So that's number one. So if you're struggling with FOMO like I know a lot of people are, drop your size on Mondays and see what happens. And also something very important to keep in mind about Mondays is they set the tone for the week. If you have a bad day on Monday, you spend the entire rest of the week trying to make it back. If you have a good day on Monday, you spend the entire week free, chilling, trading like normally without any pain or anxiety or anything like that. So Mondays are very important days. It'll set the tone for the entire week. God, thank God. I had a great day today and Bow had a great day today. So do you guys understand? That's a little bit of a tip from FOMO that's kind of helped me adjust and improve my training. Number two is I actually, I woke up very early today. I woke up very early and it was really frustrating for me because these days guys, these days I wake up at 6 a.m. because that gives me approximately three hours, three and a half hours to make a plan, which is more than enough time that I need. If I really wanted, I could show up at 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. But I show up very early to make a plan very early for the MIC members. But today, maybe the moon was on the wrong side of the planet. My son Shaman put a curse on me. I don't know what the hell is happening, but I woke up at 4 a.m. man. I woke up at 4 a.m. very groggy. I was very tired. And anytime I wake up super early like that, I always get in my own head because I'm tired as hell. So today, I was already at a disadvantage because I felt like I was awake so long. I had three cups of espresso before the open.   So I started working. I started answering DMs. I started working on some MIC back-end work.    I was exhausted. And because of that, I told myself, I am way too scared today. I need to be very careful. So not only did I size down today, I wanted to only focus on the broken stocks. And that leads us to what stocks were moving today. So XBIO was a stock that was tanked, a stock that tanked on Friday that ran up pre-market today all the way from like $250 to $4 basically. And Friday it tanked. This is a dead cat bounce. This is a low-hanging fruit. That was my top watch of the day. And in the watch list, I mentioned that our plan is to short at $350, $370 and $4. Today it hit $350, it hit $370, it hit $4 and now it's at $320. So number one is that plan, that low-hanging fruit, that day two setup was money, okay? Money. Number two is what was the other end stock? End, not neuro, I forget. If you guys could type it in here, start with an N. But that's stock NAOV, thank you, NAOV. This stock NAOV on Friday, it trapped the shorts. Okay, it trapped the shorts, great. What was my plan on it today? My plan on today was wait for a, it was in the watches. I said wait for a confirmation. As soon as we see some sort of confirmation on the stock, we could attack. To me, what I saw on NAOV was immediately, directly in the morning, it pushed towards VWAP at $350. It was a half dollar mark and it was VWAP. So it pushed, it hit that VWAP and immediately rejected. I missed that trade. I'm not perfect, I missed that trade. So I said to myself, all right, this stock is showing that it is rejecting VWAP at the open. It has a massive candle after that. And then I got blessed because some chat room pumper after it tanked, after it tanked, this chat room pumper started pumping it. And at that point I missed the first trade. So all I did was wait for the second trade. I shorted it back again towards VWAP and I got like maybe like a 330 or 340 average. I covered at three bucks and I thought, all right, that's it, it's a day. And now the stock is trading at 220. So now that was another day two setup. I waited for confirmation on that one and I took advantage of it. Yes, I missed the initial first trade. That first trade was a little bit risky, but after it tanked, I attacked and bad did the same thing. And that brings me to my last trade of the day, Nuro. So Nuro was the big runner from last week guys. Nuro was a stock that lit up the entire small cap market. It made all of these day one plays go crazy. And historically what happens guys on these stocks or on these market cycles is that you just need one stock to go crazy.  People want to get rich overnight. They see one stock doing it, they want the next one to be that too. And that creates a cycle. This cycle was a little bit shorter than usual. It only lasted about a week. And the point that I'm trying to make on Nuro is that it was broken guys. Nuro's done, like in terms of being the runner, it already made its run and it pulled back. So normally, historically, if a stock makes a run and pulls back, everyone that is stuck long is now looking to exit on bounces. So as long as Nuro does not make a new daily chart breakout, it should be a great short into the lines every time it bounces. This morning we had a discord chat room pumper pumping this Nuro from like $18 or $16 all the way up to $25.  And Nuro topped out pre-market 24, 25. And I drew a line guys, I drew a line around the chart. And what I saw is I saw a resistance around 22, 23, and 24. So draw lines on Nuro at those levels and you could see. And basically what I did is when these pumper started pumping it at the open, so let me give you a visual. Chart is at 16, it goes to 25, pulls back to 20. When it bounces from 20 to 22, that's where I'm shorting it. So I shorted it there at 22, and I got out at 20 bucks, made $2 a share. And on a stock like that guys, that's just a gimme. That stock already made its move. That stock already ran up. That stock already did its thing. And now all those bounces, all those pops are now emotional levels that we could take advantage of. So notice, three trades today. Three trades today. Nuro was a day two set up, XBIO waited for confirmation. And the other end stock was, let me scroll back, I keep NAOV. See this is what I mean, I forget these stocks. NAOV was a day two set up. So in this market, in this market as a short seller, which is what I primarily am, is primarily a short seller. In this specific market cycle, I am making the most money focusing on day two plays. Day one plays like SGBQ or whatever the hell is moving today, SPDG or I don't know if you guys could post it, I'll mention it, but there's a day one play today that's taken all the attention guys. And for me, those day one plays or ignores.  SGRP, SGRP guys, that was a day one stock. So now, using all of the information that I gave you on SGRP, doesn't it make sense that I'm probably gonna be shorting that tomorrow? I'm probably gonna be shorting that tomorrow because all the hype is gonna be gone tomorrow. These stocks move on hype. They move on chatroom pumps. They move on email alerts. They move on text message alerts.    They wanna get out. They wanna get out at any cost because they're down 50% of their money. And to me, whenever those stocks bounce, that's an edge to short. So tomorrow, that is now a top watch for me today. I do everything I can to ignore touching it today so that I am the most mentally competent to attack it tomorrow. And if it tanks today, so be it. I already made my money and there's gonna be more opportunities to make money tomorrow. So does this all make sense guys?  I'm trying to make it so simple that you guys never have to overthink this stuff, man. Never. So if this is all making sense guys, let me know. Let me know. This is advice that a millionaire trader is giving you. I'm giving you the same advice that I'm using every single day to make money.  Literally everything that I'm telling you in these YouTube lives is what I'm using to make millions of dollars. And we're in July right now. I think we're in the middle of July or the end of July, I don't even know.  Two million dollars in one hour of trading every single day guys. And that is because I am using the exact same things that I'm teaching you. I had a member reach out to me all over the weekend on PMs. And he's like, bro, I have never made so much money in my entire life this month.  What happened? He's like, bro, you're not gonna believe it. I said, what? He's like, I walk away at zombie times. I'm like, no way, you're kidding.   Wow, I can't believe it. So that's the thing guys, if you're struggling in your trading, ask yourself, are you following the rules? Are you doing what we're telling you? If we're telling you to walk away at zombie times, are you listening? Or are you just doing whatever you think is right because you have an ego? I've lost millions of dollars. Probably not millions, probably hundreds of thousands. I've lost a lot of money trying to figure this shit out by myself, man. And it wasn't until the MIC process was so refined that we were able to create the zombie rules. And the zombie rules are the reason I became a millionaire. I ain't made degenerate, guys. I'm a degenerate.  We are addicts, okay? We have addictive personalities, okay? We have addictive personalities if we're trading in the stock market. And that means that because of our addictive personalities, we feel like we need to stay in front of the computer all day to get that little bit more of a fix. Trading is a drug, right? It's a drug. It's an adrenaline drug.   Walking away is what made me rich. Walking away is what lowered my stress level. Walking away is what changed my trading.  Amazing. If we were smart, we would have charged money to teach you guys what this exact rule is, which is walk away at 1030, man. But we give that away for free so that by following that rule, by listening to that rule, you guys can make money. And when you guys make money on these free videos, hopefully you use that to sign up to learn a little bit more about everything. So one more thing is, Bao was very tired this morning, right?    I'm so tired.  You woke up 10 minutes ago.   And all of a sudden he's not tired anymore, right? So guys, I'm telling you, this is working, it is working, and it's repeatable. It's repeatable because I'm doing it because Bao's doing it, because James is doing it. Me, Bao, James, Tom, all these guys, all the members have the same charts that we post, not because we're colluding together, not because we're trying to plan it together, but because we're using the same exact repeatable process every single day, man, okay? So that's basically what I want to talk about today. I want to kind of give you guys some lessons on Mondays and some lessons on FOMO. Next week is when we are going to officially announce our MIC bootcamp, guys. So I'm going to give you a small tease right now, but next week is when we're going to explain it all, is we are throwing a live trading event, guys.  So we're going to have a breakdown at 8 a.m. I'm going to make a watch list live so you guys can learn. From 9 a.m. to zombie times, Bao and I are going to be trading live together. And then after zombie times, until the close, sorry guys, I got a call from a telemarketer, motherfuckers. So from 9 a.m. to zombie times, we're going to be doing live trading. We're going to be doing, after zombie times, we're going to be doing moderator presentations. So this is your opportunity, guys.  MIC was built on bringing the community together. This is probably going to be the last virtual event that we have until we start to do real in-person events again. So I'm telling you guys, if you've been on the fence, hit that consultation button. If you've been watching our content, come to our boot camp. I'm going to release everything next week. So I appreciate you guys joining this video. I hope I was able to give you guys some lessons. And I'm telling you, man, no one else is going to give you this information for free. So listen to it, use it, appreciate it, and we'll see you back in the room. Thanks.


What's going on, everyone? Sam here with Lance Sports Guard, Drippin' 22, Topschrom, Sonic, Baseball Light, eight box break, number 24, pick your team style. Let me read off a list of our names on our teams. Alvin S, Brewer's Cubs, Metz, Brian P with the Nationals White Sox, Ed B with the Phillies, Felix N, Rockies Athletics Rangers, Gary A, Orioles Guardians, Gary W with the Blue Jays, Jacob D at Reds, Jeff R Angels, Jonathan B, Yankees Marlins, Jordan D with the Diamondbacks, Joshua M Dodgers, Mark Z Tigers, Mike K with the Braves, Red Sox, Royals, Cardinals, Patrick G, Astros, Richard S, Giants, Roger M, Rays, Ryan B Padres, Sammy H, Mariners, Victor F with the Padres, or Pirates, excuse me, and William K with the Twins. Good luck here, everybody. Next break we're looking to fill up is our six box NBA mixer, 22 go on that one. Schmitz, are you riot? Oh God. All right, we gotta make sure Ed doesn't riot here. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh no. Good luck, everybody. Max Muncie. Prism, Ryan McMahon. Ian Gennari, Ray Wave, Kevin Gaussman for the Blue Jays. Couple of basketball breaks we're looking to fill up, Anthony Rendon, Prism, Trent Grisham, John Lester, Ray Wave, Mookie Betts, like we only have three basketball group breaks tonight. Two of which still have spots, obviously 10 box Tuesday does, O'Neill Cruz, as well as our three box NBA mixer, which are six box NBA mixer, two boxes of 22 Prism, or 22-23, that is Fernando Tauti's Jr., Green, Yellow, Ray Wave, 14 out of 99, Jackson Coar, DJ LaMeju, refractor Ronald Cunha, Hermon Marquez, or there's a Ray Wave, Jared Walsh for the Angels. Ray Wave, Lance Lynn, this one there for the White Box. Hartford Yardgoats, Hartford Yardgoats today, Ed. That's my team I grew up with right down the street from me back in Connecticut. The Hartford Yardgoats, Riley Adams, refractor, Hunter Green, Youth Quake, they are the double-A affiliate of the Rockies, right now, of the Rockies, which is very bizarre. That's kind of weird. Jazz Chisholm, Josh Donaldson, Prism, they used to be, so they used to be over in, like they used to be the twins double-A, and then I don't know what happened, but like eventually they switched over to the Rockies, like I don't know what the team got. I don't know how it works in my early, because you see that happen all the time, teams that are already around will switch their affiliates. So yeah, they've been the Rockies for the last, I don't know, eight years now probably, which is again bizarre that you go probably out west for all of your stops, and then you come to the Northeast for double-A, and then back somewhere else in triple-A, I'm sure. That's very weird. There's a Goldie, Manoa refractor, Peter Lanza, since you've been following me. I've worn a few here and there twice. I usually, because right now I have a pile of stuff I haven't worn in a while that I'm slowly picking out of, and then everything kind of will go back into the same pile eventually, especially when I move to Jacob de Grom. John Means Raywave is at Louisville. Especially once I move into my new house, I have more space, I'll be able to see stuff better. Then it won't be kind of better to go as well. But yeah, I try to stay away from that. There's Emmanuel Classe. I think legitimately if I had, if I started with like one hat and did not wear the same one twice, I could probably go about Justin Turner, George Kirby. Figure I, if I stream five days a week, or is that 20 to times a month, I could probably go almost a full year, I think. I think I can go close to a full year without wearing one twice, yeah. There's Prism, JD Martinez, Justin Turner. Close to a full year at least. But yeah, I would say between eight months in a year. I would say it's what I could probably go. Oh, sorry, I meant to ask you that, sicko. Let's go to the space where they're buying all the retail set, retail set, retail set. Um, Mike Trout Refractor. Buying lots on eBay is always a good one too. A lot of people will have like, you'll see like eBay listings that's like 2022, top scroll and baseball, pick your player and you can kind of go in and select every player that you need. That's definitely a way to do it, Brian De La Cruz. Opening retail, opening retail, that's non, like the non full set's a good way to do it too. Opening hobby, like opening products always a good way to do it too. What would you say? Do you have any other, it's kind of the same deal? Trying to complete a set basically. Yeah, Josh Lowe Refractor rookie. And Ray Wave, Jeron Durant.  Yeah, that's true too. On eBay. That's true too. There's Ray Wave, Jackson Reets. There's Blue Yellow, Sonic Pulse, Isaiah Kinerfilefa. 11 out of 75, IKF for the Rangers. Ryan Mountcastle, Youthquake, Trey Embrager. Another 10 bucks Tuesday. Football came in. Thank you, John. Appreciate you, buddy. Box three. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, the pick a player, that's definitely, that's definitely a good way to go. I know there's a lot of people that do that on eBay, a lot of like base sellers and such, people that open a lot or have the big eBay stores they'll do that. Jose Ramirez. There's Ray Wave, Jake Berger. There's Prism Casey Mines. And Ray Wave, Ernie Clement. Rookie for the Guardians. Aaron Judge Refractor, nice one there for the Yanks. Bryson Stotz. Tal Martay. There's Seth Beer, Teal Pink, Sonic Pulse, 34 out of 199 for the Bebex. That sure is there. Goldie. Prism Trey Turner for the Dodgers. Curtis Terry. O'Neill Cruz Rookie. Matt Veerling. And Bryce Harper. Need Bryce and Stotz to blow up. He's good, man. Bryce and Stotz is stud. We got an upside down of some sort. Walker Bueller. That is Exposé Wander Franco. Nice one there. Congrats on that. Gonna be going to the Rays. There you go, Rays. Super short printed Rookie variation as well. We'll get that mag for you. Congrats, Yanks. Color match for the Yanks. Blue, probably. See, yeah. I would say. There's Wander Franco. They're tough. The Yankees don't have a great color match unless it's white or navy. I would say probably navy. Or blue of any sort of blue. I'd say IKF. Those teams are hard with that. Any team that's primary, dark blue and white. Same with black too, because a lot of times the blacks are super low numbered in most products. There's Catel Marte. Yeah, no problem. Sick of. You got it, buddy. No problem at all. Any questions you ever have, feel free to ask. Chris Sale, Trevor Larner. Refractor Jose Berrios and JD Martinez. All on to the next one. Thank you, Justin. Taking a spot in 10 box Tuesday football. Drop you guys that link again. 20 to go on our six box NBA mixer. Brazil and Matt Veerling.

In this week's video, I want to answer a question that I recently received from an engineering manager. How often should I meet with my engineering team members? Now, that's a question that, unlike many engineering problems, doesn't have an exact answer. Right? It's different for every person, every team, every project size. However, one answer is, you know, as often as they need you. And sometimes when someone's new, they'll need you more. When someone's younger, they may need you more. Here's a couple of recommendations from the work that we've done with many engineering managers. One solid approach is to meet with each individual on your team once a week. Just to review, make sure they're set up for the week, they have what they need to be succeed, they know what they're focused on. And then a second meeting with your entire team later in the week to catch up on things, make sure everybody's connected and they're all relating and they know what's working where and how everything is coming together. Because each person works on something individually, but it moves towards a common goal. It's important that they know that. Now, one other recommendation that I'll make, and I know a lot of engineering managers implore this, is the daily check-in. Especially if you work in the same office as someone, it's easy enough to walk over to their office or their cubicle and just check in with them in the morning. How's it going? What are you focusing on today? Do you need my help? I'm available if you need me. So figuring out the best kind of rhythm of meetings for your team is important, but I highly recommend that you're meeting with each person individually at least once a week if not also doing the daily check-in.

Yeah, maybe we do have to hit rock bottom, but what is rock bottom? I Think that that if you look at addiction What what's rock bottom for one person? Might not be anywhere near bottom for somebody else for one person rock bottom might be you know that that their spouse walks out on them and That's hitting bottom and then you know they they They might even get back together with their spouse after three days of that and they don't use again for another person You know, they're still smoking through their tracheostomy hole as they're on their death bed And they don't hit rock bottom until they're in the death process itself So I think the question then is how do we raise bottom? so that our crisis so that there's another life on the other side of the crisis because I don't think we can avoid a a Dissolution something has to dissolve The story that we are in and the ossified systems that Surround that story something has to dissolve that if we are Ready for that to happen then we're not going to try too hard to keep it together We're gonna let go and so what creates that readiness what creates the courage to let go I Think that it is a feeling of safety a feeling of love a feeling of belonging It's it's a a zeitgeist of compassion That whether or not you have a big voice or politically or politically engaged or have a big plan like every single person can contribute to this field of Compassion of peace of healing Where we can look at ourselves and be like yeah, how much of me wants to dominate somebody and make the world better that way by Triumphing over an enemy and and and and and maybe that's one of those stories that we can get lost in and that takes on a life of its own and that that Motivates the worst atrocities all in the name of good like we can see where that goes and and so how much how much of that is in me and and How willing am I right now to choose a path of peace? To ask of those I judge. What is it actually like to be you?

Northern Eye Center in Pikeville. Your local vision experts, experienced doctors using state-of-the-art technology, choose from top designer frames from Oakley, Ray Ban, Nike, and more. We accept Medicaid and Medicare, plus most insurances are accepted. Northern Eye Center in Pikeville, next to Tractor Supply. On Monday, October 9th, the City of Pikeville recognized Eastern Telephone and Technologies for their contributions and developments in the Pikeville area. For over 40 years, their business has continued to grow and impact other businesses and the local economy. Eastern Telephone and Technologies President Darrell Maynard shares his thoughts on the achievement. Being recognized here in Pikeville just feels really good. We've made a lot of friends and through the businesses that we've done business with and we feel like that our focus on the technology services here that usually you don't get in Eastern Kentucky, especially back 40 years ago when we first started, it just feels good that we were able to try to help keep everybody at the same level of technology as we're in the metropolitan areas all these years. Maynard says the community has given back to him after all his years of service. Moving forward, he wishes to continue improving the region. When I was growing up, my parents and family were from this area and I remember saying we'd come and visit it all the time because I never lived here. And I just remember at 16 that I said I was never going to live in Eastern Kentucky. And when I was 21, fate as fate would have it, I ended up here and I've been here ever since. Married three children and this community has given me so much. They've helped raise my children. They've helped me start my business and keep it going. So it's just been a blessing to be a part of Pikeville, Kentucky. Reporting from Mountaintop News, I'm Nick Collum.


Hello, everyone. We're back again. I hope you have enjoyed the networking time So now let me introduce you to Lucas Lasota. He is part of the legal team at FSE sorry and is researching in the Hombard University in Berlin He will talk about how free software is essential for the future of internet and an easy way to display copyright and last information in software In his talk shaping the future of the internet with free software Welcome Lucas. Happy to have you here with us Hello, Gemma. Hello Lucas. Really nice to have you here Thank you very much. I'm really happy also to be here And I really also thank you open expo for this great opportunity to Talk a little bit about free software and the future of internet I will write so The for the participants of the people here remember that you can ask questions in the q&a Well, he's preparing the talk and when he finish we will ask all the questions So Lucas you can proceed. Thank you very much and talk Let me try to share my screen And oh, yes Right, so Thank you very much everybody for being here today It's an honor to take part in such a nice event It's my first digital event that I'm taking part and I think it's very nice I Participate in two talks already and I will say I learned a lot of new things So I hope this my my talk will be useful for you as well So, uh, I'm Lucas La Sota. I work for the free software foundation Europe. We are based In berlin and we advocate for free software and help people to control technology today Let's talk a little bit about The future of internet and how free software is a central element on that well I prepare this talk I am a lawyer. I'm not a developer But I work with a lot of developers But I don't want to talk about these boring legal topics But we want to have people to understand Which kind of internet we want for the future and how we can help People to understand their rights their copyrights at the licensing in order we have Healthy digital environment for the internet of the future And then in the end we will have also some time for To chatting some questions and I hope You can enjoy so let's get started first, uh I would like to review the concept of free software And as in the last presentation by juice that was amazing and he used the term free software in an open source as A synonym. I would also use the terms and synonym here But the most important thing is to understand what are the principles behind the term free software It's not just making the source code available. It's not just putting your your program free of charge No, it's not about price, but it's about liberty. It's about freedom When the term program that you use Allows you to use it To study the source code to share it with other people and to improve the program yourself Then we are talking about free software uh and Having all these principles this foreign liberties For the internet and we understand that the internet is today's the public space But it's based in all this huge amount of technology But when we have free software as the backbone of it And when I say free software is for freedoms Then we can guarantee that the next generation internet will be the most democratic one Well, and I say then because we understand that technology is not neutral Uh, this whole corona virus situation has shown us how easy people can lose their digital rights And how easy to be controlled by Some not very fair app or How easy people can mislead mislead to a program that tells you Or shows you one thing but in fact are doing another thing So we want people to control technology and doing by that we want people to understand that the next generation internet will have Human we in the center of it well We want that the new technology that are being developed in order to populate the internet Respect some kind of some principles And if those technologies respect those principles We'll have an internet That is human centric An internet that will respect our human rights An internet that will respect our privacy And also our data protection We want that everybody has the same access to the internet and we want that people feel safe there And in order to do that, there are some Principles that the new technologies should abide And I will show you in the next slides that free software not only abide those principles But also is the best solution For technologies in order to build the next generation internet the internet of humans The first principle is the principle of openness We want that the internet Be kept open for everybody We don't want that the internet The future internet will be kept on hold or in power of few few people Or few enterprises We want that everybody can join the internet and feel safe there and can collaborate there because The internet is the new public public public space And when I say that Free software free software can be shared and used in a non-exclusive way by everyone It's the perfect development method for new technologies in order to keep the internet open Well, and Keeping the internet open. It's not enough We need to certify that everybody has the same access right access to the internet Just as in the physical world the digital world sometimes restrict people's rights And the solutions the technology technological solutions Are not designed for everybody so Some people have access to telephones to computers and to software that Are very good for them, but other people who have who have Special necessities They are not heard and their necessities are We can say that some kind some more web technologies are not compliant with their tech with their necessities Therefore since free software helps to develop and maintain tailored software that suits everyone's needs In not just some business model Free software abide and help Developers and help companies to develop new solutions that respect the principle of inclusion yet The internet Can be very unsafe If we don't know who is in the other side Who what's the program that we are using we have no clue what the program is indeed doing Preparatory solutions That one Which we cannot read the source code the the source code aren't transparent Which we have to take the vendors word for granted But we cannot check One nice principle is Yeah You can like it you believe in it, but please check And free software allows anyone To to check what the program does So if we want to build an internet that is transparent and safe for everyone We need software that is available for checking for audits to everybody When you can check the source code, then you are sure that what one program does or not and Being transparent We also can check If programs respect our privacy If the program respect Our personality As we can see the internet is in internet is very easy to lose control over your data It's very easy to control Control of your image over your name So The future internet we want to keep it safe for everybody So privacy and data protection Are two basic principles that will guide the implementation of new technologies And since free software development models encourage decentralized solutions avoiding mass data concentration uh Is the one of the best ways To protect other people's privacy and data and since We're talking about the principles here and we understand that the internet Is a Is a public Space where a lot of people interact and Not just individuals, but also large corporations governments We need to find ways to make people work collaboratively And in order to have all those principles that we are talking about It's not enough just to tell that the internet is open for everybody and is transparent And it's respect people's privacy and data If we do not allow people to work And to take part on those development models Because when we have different people Working together and making their voice heard Then we can say that in fact The technology that we are developing They are democratic and they are Well They are based on cooperation And since free software Allows people to develop new software In the best collaborative way Free software will keep The internet As open for cooperation as well And the last principle that we Won't to believe that the next generation internet should have is security because uh As we can see Most part of our daily routine our work our communication Our data Our interactions are doing through the internet So we really want That people can interact in those digital environments in a safe and a secure way However, if we do not have A safe mechanisms in order to guarantee that Well, then our trust in those technologies Are not good enough Free software can be checked for security flaws and backdoors So free software Can provide solutions That will keep The internet safe and secure and well We talk about the principles that will guide the development new technologies in the internet And but where to start When we talk about yeah, I want to develop a new technology That will respect all those principles I want to develop an app for people's smartphone that will Guarantee The privacy and secure it will be Private and will be secure and we'll have a collaborative development model But where to start? Well, since I'm a lawyer I think it's a good way to start Is having your rights And your obligations very well determined Because when you know What are your rights and what your your obligations? You can be confident in order to work Since you know until when or until which step you can go on how far you can go in order to not Damage other people's right Well and why license and copyright is important for the future of internet Because software is protected by copyright And licensing is the most important legal instrument to transfer rights for other people So remember when I was talking about the four software freedoms All those freedoms are protected by licenses So the whole free software concept Is enabled Well by a series of factor, but Licensing free soft license is one of the most important elements in free software however During the this current time I stumbled with a very interesting and a very funny, uh, tweet Somebody asked good on twitter giving me a horror story from your specialty in five words or less And uh, clearly a lawyer wrote no license means public domain This is one of the first, uh problems that developers and users Uh find when they are using software online We don't know who Is the copywriter and we don't know if we can transmit this This program this program to other people is the same with images. It's the same with music that we Listen online or movies Because sometimes licenses they are hidden And the information this legal information are not available to everybody But license especially the free software license protect all of us When you have the information About copyright and you have the information about license in a very clear understandable way You can check. Okay, so I am allowed to transfer This program this music this image to other people Am I allowed to change this software? Am I allowed or am I allowed just to use it? It's forbidden to me to improve the software License protects Uh free software license protects the developer Protects you as user and protect all of us Because through a license we can guarantee That one software is free software or not and having uh That uh defined or determined The whole society profits from that Because it's very clear to everybody that One one program is free software and therefore people can enjoy those free This for freedoms or not but The reality today is Sometimes it's not easy to find all those information and not just for users, but for developers as well People want to use parts of of software in their program They cannot because sometimes they don't know about the license. They don't know about the copyright holders well As i'm i'm i'm speaking right now. What are the problems? What are uncertainties that sometimes developers or even users are confronted with We don't know uh who uh possess the the copyright We don't know where to find the license and a developer Uh he or she Uh does not know Where to put the information And if they're developing a software They don't know where or which license to use or where to put the license or what are the obligations of the license but Most commonly they don't know how to make other people aware that they have chosen this license We at the free software foundation europe We want to tackle this problem this problem in order to make copyright and license information easy to everybody And we have developed a series of specifications through the reuse software initiative And we want people and especially developers To have a friendly and a very easy way to apply those information And when we have those information very clear in their software We are aware that they have chosen one license and who is the who is the the copyright of of that of that software And this will increase the level of legal security in the internet And increasing the legal security in the internet We are aware of which program is indeed free software And not and when we are when we know that that the term the program is free software We are sure that is the best solution for all those principles That we were talking about until now Well, and what is the reuse software or what is re-re-re-re-use initiative? Basically, we want that the License and the copyright information will be added to the source code to the files that compose the source code It's just two lines of Of we call it comment headers that developers put In the beginning of their files in the source code It's made by two lines that as explicitly Defines which license the developers chose and here We use the spdx lice identifier And who is the copyright of that particular file? Is that simple doing that? It's very simple Steps can help the entire internet providing legal security Well, but that seems a little bit Theoretical and people will say yeah, but it's really that So yes, it's really that and in order to To do that and to show that in fact is very simple We at the free software foundation Europe we have developed Some tools in order to make reuse very easy to adopt If you are an individual developer or you are in working a project or even if you are working in a big corporation the reuse Specifications is adaptable for everybody not just for individual developer or To the to the big corporations, but all in between We have developed the helper tool and this tool Help people to find the license. They want the text license to add those comment headers especially when those projects have a lot of of files in order to Automate those projects the helper tool can add those comment headers automatically We had prepared also a tutorial and faq for all those questions Not only regarding to reuse but we regarded also to copyright and licensing formation You can check it online and it's very clear and we We did break it down in order to make it accessible for everybody We also Think that the reuse initiative is not a small movement But we wanted to become an industry standard We want that it becomes a serious standard for software development. So everybody who is developing the software implement reuse Uh into their project in order to collaborate with everybody It will make Much easier for reuse to share knowledge to share software if we have these two little information in our source code in our source code And of course we also have developed an API if you want to check if your project is reused and also to put a badge in your github or a git lab on other git instance In order to tell other people that your project is reused compliant And you may you might be asking but who has already adopted the reused Well, the european commission has launched the next generation internet initiative Which funds a lot of projects more than 120 that is developing new technology That abide to all those principles that we are talking about And those prints in all those projects They are being exposed to reuse initiative And the linux kernel Uh has adopted at two 60 to 70 percent multinational corporations are uh are adopting reuse as well And all them are profiting from this very simple way in order to have copyright and licensing information Uh well displayed I hope that your projects your companies everybody who is listening can take a look in our website reuse dot software or in our instance in order to check how easy is to adopt it and how uh your project or Your software or even your company in your workflow can profit from reuse And I hope that this information this informations will be uh useful for you So, uh, I hope you have some questions and let's chat about uh the future of the internet Free software reuse Copyright and license. Thank you very much for your attention. Thank you very much for your talk. Lucas Really really interesting It's really interesting and useful Yeah, so if any one of you have a question remember that you can write it in the q&a or you can also Write your hand and come to the stage with us You can come here and ask to to lucas Yes Uh, sometimes people think that uh license and copyright information is a boring topic for lawyers But uh, we want to make it very simple so people because uh people are applying and using software And they want you to know about licensing copyright And we want to make it very easy for everybody. Yeah, that's true You're playing an easy way there. Everyone can understand it and this helps. Yes Yes, so let's uh, yes, uh I hope people have answers Questions So do you think each product needs to have free license or there are produce types which have can be only paid Well, thank you very much. That's a very good question But I want just to remember you that when we talk about free licenses It's about freedom. So it's completely Okay, to have a free software product But in a paid basis We have a lot of products that are paid But they are free software And and I'm not telling big corporations like like like a head of head hat That are great in making money and their products are open source are free software But I'm also talking about smaller products if you open, uh f drive that is Store for free on open source products for your smartphone for on trial devices You're going to see that there are a lot of products that you need to pay for it And they are and they are open source. They are free software So my position is that I would like to see all products as free software That products that are paid And not paid but all of them respect the four freedoms that are freedoms to use the product to study the product To share a trip. Oh, really? Thank you. I hope I Yeah, so we have another question Is first a good way to prepare the world to compete combine and reach economical growth against corporations well, uh, I think that There are corporations and corporations. Yeah Uh, there are corporate there are corporations that develop very nice projects And they are human centric And we have some very nice examples today And we want to keep that so where we envision the next generation internet from those people We are not against generation corporations Uh, we are we want to Those corporations are aware that they can have their products and respect people's freedom We want to spread this word To the max amount of people and max amount max amount of corporations and of course To educate that bad corporations corporations that Do not respect digital freedoms digital rights And doing that we want to educate them so reuse Having these two small lines of information in people's software people are being developed We can educate also people on this bad corporation that they do not Can exploit those software Saying that they don't know about information because the information is right there In the in the code okay Thank you. Lucas Let's see someone and have an information to have a question to do Remember that you can also raise your hand and we can invite you to the stage So we can see your face and you can talk with us or you can do it only with the micro you prefer Not to show your image Otherwise you can write the question in the q&a Top there. Lucas are you going to be here later for the networking time? Yes, absolutely. I I'll be there And I hope to chat with some someone In the in the rooms And of course I don't know Gemma, I just have one short question for you. Uh, this presentation will be made available.

What's up everyone? We are back with another taste test video. We are extremely excited today because we're going to be trying different Canadian jerky. Most of it is beef, but there is one that is pork. This is a Canadian company, and it is McSweeney's. I think I pronounced that correctly, which is a 100% Canadian company, and all the beef and pork is Canadian as well, which I thought was really cool, which is why I wanted to try this out for the channel. Now, we have different flavors here. We have original teriyaki, hot and sweet. We have cracked black pepper, which is one of my personal favorites. We have the pork one is one that is like a hickory smoked bacon flavor. And then we have habanero because we both absolutely love spicy things. So for this video, we're going to be ranking them out of 10. I think that's the best way to go just because we absolutely love trying different things. But we also love ranking what we try on the channel as well. So at first, we're going to be trying original here. And this is basically starting with original just because I want to know quality of the beef, the jerky, and flavor-wise. And you can't really go wrong with original. It should be just a classic jerky taste. I just chose a small piece. You ready? Yeah. Give it a try. Hmm. It's a different kind of jerky. Mm-hmm. This here, I don't even think it will focus on it. After ordering this, the expiry date does say October 2021, months away. But it's, the weight is fuzzy on it. Yeah, I think I'm done with original. I was really looking forward to this. And then after getting that, I think it's going to be a bad experience today. So original, for me thinking that it's mold, I'm going to give it a 0 out of 10. Yeah, me too, honestly. Now seeing that and also the taste, it wasn't... Taste-wise was gross. It just tasted like unflavored beef jerky. Yeah. I thought it was salt pockets at first because mine was very grainy at first and I had a little bit of white on it. After I dug in and grabbed the second piece, I'm like, it's fuzzy. It's white. Yeah. I don't know. We're going to try another one here. I think I'm going to go to my personal favorite, teriyaki. So here we go, the teriyaki. It looks 100% normal inside. Look at that. Yeah, looks a lot better. You would want to try it. Smells better too. But the jerky looks a lot better. It looks like actual jerky. Smells like teriyaki. You ready to give this a try? Smells good. Let's see. A lot better. Yeah, the consistency of it, a lot better. Quality of the beef is amazing. It's a little chewy but also melts in the mouth. I don't know if that's the best way to describe it. Makes sense to me. Not too salty, but the teriyaki flavor is pretty good in it. It's good. Given the last one was a 0 out of 10. This one right here is a 6 out of 10 for me. Yeah, let's say 6 out of 10. It's good. I just hope all of them quality-wise is better moving forward. Next up is hot and sweets. Ooh, that has a nice scent to it. Yeah, it smells good. It's head-pick yours here. Smells really good. And it's notable to mention there's no whiteness at all. No.  And it is darker. Smells so good. You ready to give it a try? Mm-hmm. Softer than the last two. Quality of the meat is improving. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's good. I'm just not getting any heat.  Maybe. I'd give this one, I'm judging it on what the flavor is supposed to be and what I'm experiencing. I'm going to give it a 4 out of 10. I was going to go lower, but I think 4 out of 10 is really reasonable. Like a 5. 5? Dual bowl. It's more of an aftertaste of the heat. Like, I feel the heat in my chest, but the flavor, like, tasting it didn't really taste any of it, honestly. We're going to move on to the next one here, which is the cracked black pepper. Let's give this one a try. Wow, that smells amazing. Wow, yeah.  So, I'm just going to grab a piece here. Wow, this is going to be good. You ready? Yeah, it smells really good. Salty. The consistency is a lot different than the other ones. I don't know if that's because it was, I don't know, age different. It tastes like it. It's like crunchy almost. Little bit, yeah. But, like, good. Tastes good. Definitely higher than teriyaki. Yeah, I think so, too. I'd say 7. 7? I'm going to rank this an 8, because I really like it. The flavor's better, and the flavor lasts in your mouth after. So, I really like this. This one's the best one, in my opinion, so far. Absolutely love it. Next up is 1, 9. Whenever we're down the jerky aisle in the grocery store, we sometimes get for ourselves as a snack. Most of the time, that's because we're hungry while we're shopping, but either way, this is pork jerky hickory. Smoked bacon is the next one. And I'm hoping that it's going to be really good. Wow, it smells different. Really hickory. Smells and looks different. Yeah, now I'm used to whenever you get a bacon jerky that looks like bacon. Really doesn't. This is very... It's transparent. Some parts are more transparent than others. Yeah, they're thin. Very thin, yeah. Ready? Mm-hmm. I don't know. It doesn't taste like bacon to me. Condos? Tastes like hickory, dip. Yeah, I really get the hickory flavor. Mm-hmm. I don't get any saltiness from it, though, which is what I expect in bacon. I'm going to try a bigger piece. It's a lot more transparent. Of course, it's not going to focus here. Then what we tried, it's the thinner cut. Definitely taste the hickory, though. It's like mainly what I taste. Kind of like it. It's different. I do, too. It's not like the bacon jerky we try. Normally it looks like actual bacon, but I think it's maple the one we like. Maple, yeah. Personally, I think I'm going to rank this a five out of 10. It's good, but not my favorite. What do you think? I'd say a six, six out of 10. All right, still in the middle, not the worst thing we tried today by far, but we have one left, the habanero. Let's give it a try. So here we go. We have the habanero one open. It smells a little spicy. It's called a fiery habanero, actually, so grab your piece first. I think this is going to be good. We like heat in any of our snacks. It's a thicker cut than some of the previous ones. Ooh, I grabbed a thin one here. I'm just going to try it. Ready? Sure. Immediate, almost immediate. Right on the tongue. Definitely spicy. Mm-hmm. It's good, though. It's, for most people, I would say that might be too hot. I like it. Yeah, I like it. It's good. This has the best flavor, though. Really? That, well, the cracked pepper one is really good, but this one has the most flavor you taste. Yeah, the most flavor in it, yeah.  Mm-hmm. It's really good. Hmm, this one's going to be tough. Right now, cracked pepper, I think, is our favorite. Yeah. That'll be ranks. And then from there, it goes teriyaki and then all the other ones. This one here. It's kind of too much heat for me. Like, it's good, and I would buy it, and I enjoy it, but the cracked black pepper is an amazing, ongoing flavor that is there, but not too much. Like, I haven't had a piece and haven't been eating it for a minute now. My mouth's still burning. Yeah, my mouth's still on fire. I would rank it, I'm not going to rank this the highest one, I'm going to rank it seven out of 10. This one's second place for me. What do you think? I'd say I'd tie it with the cracked pepper, yeah, I like it. So it's a tie with you, all right. So I'm going to say both the fiery habanero and the blacked, cracked pepper have gotten basically tied for first place for this. Now, we did also get this original pepperoni, but we're going to be saving that for ourselves. It was more focused on a jerky taste test video, and we absolutely loved these for the most part, but we still have the first one, which was moldy. And that to me is just terrible that you would send somebody a moldy product. Now, whether or not they realized they did it, we still received a product that was moldy. So I'm going to at least write them just to let them know what we received. I honestly can't remember if this is a company that emailed saying we're going to be doing it for a YouTube video or not, but I am going to let them know that we did receive something that was really low quality and moldy. And the only reason we ordered original as opposed to ordering another different flavor is we wanted kind of like control. It wasn't even that good of original. And then as we dug deeper in the bag, we realized it's not salt pockets on the jerky. It's literally fuzzy white mold. So hard pass. Yeah, once we found that out, I expected all the rest to not be good, but the rest was amazing in my opinion. Love the teriyaki, love the black cracked pepper. Definitely, even though we did get a moldy pack, I definitely would recommend them. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. We're going to be doing some more taste tests in the future. We still have that hot sauce challenge that we're going to be doing along with other things throughout the year and a lot more new things coming to the channel very, very soon. If you guys want to see more videos from me and Ashley here, let us know down in the comments below. If there's anything else you want to see us do and we'll leave this here. See you guys in the next one. Please take care. Peace.


Hi, let's repot at Calacia. There are various signs you can look for when trying to find if your Calacia needs repotting. You can see here that a lot of the soil is not protecting this anymore. Also on the other side, we can see it here too. So there is no protection here, we need to put more soil and the roots are just coming out to the top. And as you can see here, a lot of the roots are growing just around the potting mix. See right here, here, also on this side, some of the roots are outside. So this is also another sign that you can look at when trying to figure out if your plant needs repotting. I really like preferring my potting mix because it really helps me be present when I am taking care of my plants by touching the ingredients knowing exactly what I am putting in the soil. So the first ingredient we are going to get is this one right here. This is coconut coir and we are going to put 7 parts of it. Now, in order to prepare it we want to put some water and mix it with the water. This is going to give more volume to the coconut coir and it will bring moist to it, which is really great for our Calacias. I also like to add 2 parts of orchid bark, then 2 parts of warm castings for nutrition, 2 parts of charcoal and of course, 2 parts of pumice for drainage. You know, Calacias really like to have moist soil. So it's always very good to also add a material for drainage and this is because it's going to help them keep moist but it's not going to be super wet for them, which is really great. I am trying to reduce my use of plastic now so I am going to be using a terracotta pot. Now, just to let you know terracotta is very porous. So the soil for your plant won't stay moist for long periods of time and remember that Calacias like the soil to stay moist at all times. If you aren't under water I would recommend that you stay with plastic because this one will keep the soil moist for longer periods. But if you want to change to terracotta all you have to do is to water more frequently and keep checking the soil just to make sure that your plant is happy. I also always use a pot that has a drainage hole and that way I will prevent over-watering, okay? Let's start reporting. We will add a first layer of soil to the bottom and this is to keep some support to the roots. We will take our plant out of the pot and massage the roots out of the soil very carefully. Try to do it like super smoothly and just slowly the way you don't damage the roots and we will place it inside the pot like so. So I will hold my plant and add more soil like that just to cover the roots. We want to press it a little bit so we can prevent air holes just like so but be very gentle so you don't damage the roots here and add more soil. Now as I said, this one likes the soil to be moist so I'm going to water it a little bit just to make sure it's happy and we did it. Thank you so much for being here with me. I think this potting mix is going to be great for my calatheas so if you decide to use the same potting mix let me know in the comments below I would love to know how it goes for you. Also if you would like to support this community and the work that I do here we do have a Patreon page and we meet every month to talk about our plants and the issues we may have with them so we can help each other out. So if you would like to join us there make sure to check out the link in the description below and as always, I will see you in the next one. Okay, adios!


Welcome to the Digital Archives Tutorial. In this video, you will learn how to access and search Ohio University Libraries' Digital Archives. The archives operate much like Alice in Articles Plus, as they are all sources to finding materials for research. What sets Digital Archives apart is that they specialize in primary sources. At their most basic, primary sources can be defined as first-hand accounts. First-hand means that the source directly originates from a person, organization, place, event, or time. Account refers to the format, which can exist in just about any form. Photographs, newspapers, diaries, letters, scrapbooks, official documents, artifacts, poetry, art, and even books, tweets, and other social media are all accounts which might qualify as primary sources. The Mon Center for Archives and Special Collections on the fifth floor of Alden Library is home to thousands of primary source materials. During business hours, anyone can visit the Mon Center reading room to examine these sources up close and in person. Ohio University Libraries have also made large collections of these sources available to anyone by creating digital reproductions. These reproductions are provided for universal viewing on the library's Digital Archives website. You can find digitized manuscript materials ranging from Civil War letters to asylum records. There are even digitized representations of the library's rare books and special collections such as medieval manuscript leaves. You can also access digitized historic materials covering over 200 years of Ohio University history. This ranges from Board of Trustees minutes and historical event programs to yearbooks, student newspapers, and university sports. Let's take a closer look at Ohio University Libraries Digital Archives and how to locate these materials online. To get started, go to the Ohio University Libraries webpage. Under the Collections tab at the top menu bar, you will find the Digital Archives link in the Digital Collections section. Now that you are on the browsing page, you will see various types of materials that can be found in digital format. Let's say you are researching the 1969 Hawking River relocation and you need documentation and visual evidence of the Athens campus floods. To find multiple primary sources, let's do a general keyword search from the Digital Archives main page. In the box labeled, Search Ohio University Libraries Digital Archives Collections, type floods and click the search symbol. You will see photos and newspaper reports that appear among other sources. Here is a picture of West Green having flooded in 1968. And here is a 1964 image of East Green and what today are known as the Riverview Apartments. And this view of Ohio University students perhaps doing their dedicated best to go to class during the 1963 flood. If you are looking for more substantial first person descriptive information about a flood, try clicking on one of these student newspapers from the 1960s. And finally, if you are in search of more technical information about the damage done by the floods and the effort to reroute it, you will also find this informative brochure in the Digital Archives. You now have learned how to find primary sources using Ohio University's Digital Archives website. If you still have questions of how to negotiate and to find more stuff in Digital Archives, please contact our University Archives and Special Collections staff. This concludes the Digital Archives tutorial.


On CT day, they're giving us our MOS's. They're like 1391, a bulk fuel specialist. Raise my hand, staff's on it.  And yeah, I went to the school house, figured out what it was, and I've actually loved it ever since. Without us, the wing doesn't roll. Like, when they need fuel, which is their primary source to get anywhere, do anything for the mission, they have to come to us. So, I mean, the bulk fuelers, that's our job, is what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to be down here working all the long hours and working the weekends to take care of the squadrons so the squadrons can get their mission done. Being a bulk fuel specialist is an extremely thankless job, because not many people realize what we do until they actually need us. If the fuel is not sampled correctly, or if it's contaminated in any way, a bird will not receive fuel from here. We all know what to do, whether I'm controlling a pump. One of my Marines is controlling the pentagraph, another one's on the grounding wire, another one's on the fire bottle, so on and so forth. We all practice it enough and go over it enough with each other, where we can just continuously switch roles and be efficient in all those roles. It's our responsibility to police our own and keep an eye on each other and make sure we do our due diligence. Whether we're down here or up there to make sure it's done correctly, because like I said, if anything goes wrong, everyone pays the price for it on all levels.
