First question came from my guy Marco. He said, do you believe the bingles making a Super Bowl with a young inexperience receiving core means Ravens can do the same? It's always looking forward to your video. Ooh, that's a question right there. Of course, it's always a possibility. There's always a possibility. Now I would rather them add an experienced guy just to help out because listen, the bingles chase young, I mean, not chase young, Jamar Chase, I'll be getting them to mixed up, but Jamar Chase, he was obviously an experienced. He was a rookie. T Higgins, he had a little bit of experience, but it wasn't no crazy experience. But they did have somebody in that room who had experience, not Super Bowl experience, but had NFL experience, had clutch time experience. I mean, us Ravens fans know all about Tyler Boyd. So while they did have a good amount of youth and obviously Joe Burrow is super young too, they had a good amount of youth. They still had some veterans there, Joe Mixon as well. So and then they had some guys on the defensive side of the ball too. So their receiving group is young, but they did have a mix of experience and that veteran leadership as well. And that was on both sides of the ball. So with the Ravens, they can do it. It's possible, anything's possible. But for me, with the receiver room, I would very much like for them to add somebody of significance too, to just make the group that much more dynamic, to give Lamar Jackson yet another option as a pass catcher. And I know a lot of people have made a really, really good point about the Ravens and how they feature wide receivers, or really how they don't really feature wide receivers in the offense. Of course, this offense is built, it's about the tight ends, it's about the running backs, the offensive line of course, and Lamar Jackson having to do 50 million things as well. And the receivers, they come way at the back of the list. So when some people, when you talk about adding a receiver, they're like, for what? What's the point? Why should we do it? Well, me, I would rather, much rather quality, quality, quality, quality over quantity, but you can have both, you can have both. And the Ravens, the way that this roster has been constructed, they got quality depth all across really, all across. And that's a beautiful thing, but at wide receiver, that's where the biggest question mark is, but can the Ravens do it? Could they make the Super Bowl with a young, inexperienced wide receiver room? They could. Again, like I said, it's the possibility for sure, but I would much rather the Ravens go into the season with more of a sure thing at the position. Next question came from my guy, Diego. He said, they ain't gravy and hope you're doing well and that your family is staying safe and healthy during these tough times. I appreciate that, Diego. He said, last time I submitted a question, it was on some free agent linebackers I thought the Ravens should sign. It seems the Ravens are moving towards giving Malik Harrison a second chance at a starting job. However, I feel the best option for this Ravens defense is to sign or trade for a veteran linebacker. With recent news that Deion Jones and the Falcons are seeking a divorce, what do you think about the Ravens trading if the Falcons cut him? Or excuse me, he said, what do you think about the Ravens trading or if the Falcons cut him signing Deion Jones? I would personally welcome this move considering he is only 27 and it feels like he is way older than that. Yeah, I ain't know he's 27. I ain't know that. I thought he was like maybe like 30, 31. That's crazy, man. Anyway, just wanted to hear your thoughts. Much love to you and team, keep it clean, keep up the good work and until next time, I'm out. But yeah, that's a really good question. Deion Jones, I was talking to somebody about this the other day and I wouldn't mind if they did that at all. Veteran guy, not an older veteran guy either just to help solidify that linebacking group. But I just, I wonder what his role would be, what his place would be. And I mean, I wouldn't mind if the Ravens were like, hey, sign first, ask questions later. Let's get them on the squad and we'll figure out what to do with them later on. But I just wonder like if they did that, all right, so what do you do with the Josh Bynes? What do you do with the Patrick Queen? And Patrick Queen, he could still be that Blitzen linebacker. Cause he's an excellent Blitzen. And with Patrick Queen, once he puts the whole thing together, it's going to be such a beautiful thing. And he's showing us flashes of it being a beautiful thing. But just the consistency, that's what he's got to work on the most. Being a consistent tackler, consistently getting off blocks and whatnot. But Deion Jones, I wouldn't be bad at that at all. I would like if they did that, but I just, I really don't expect them to. Next question came from Anthony. He said after the Ravens signed Kyle Fuller, which I personally loved, what do you think the Ravens do next? It's like, man, like, they, they got it. Like we talked about it earlier. They got a lot of depth at a lot of different positions, like really all across the roster, except at one. So that's why I would think that they would do something next cause they've been trying to, but they just haven't sealed any deals yet. And he said, also seeing Chuck Locke at OTA says a lot about how mature he is and it shows to me that he wants to stay. Many blessings to you and your family. It does speak to his maturity for sure. I don't think it necessarily means that he wants to stay. He could, he could not. We'll see, maybe him and them had a conversation about something we don't know, but it does speak volumes about his level of maturity.  He hears all of that stuff. So I'm sure he is more than aware of it. So if he really felt some type of way and was like, Hey, you know what, not participating? I would have no problem with that. I would not have a problem with that at all. It's OTA, it's voluntary anyway. But the fact that he is there participating says a lot about Chuck Locke. Yeah, this feels like a dream. That's what I mean. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like automated, automated. Boy, that's my homie. Ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. So team, keep it clean. Welcome to another episode of NFL Questions From Subs. Seriously, you can ask me any question you want. We answer it in a video just like this. Special shout out to all our team, keep it clean patrons. Appreciate what you all do for the channel and what you all do for just team, keep it clean as a whole. We got a lot of great questions and some that we already done answered and a lot that we got to get into. So let's keep it moving. Inside noise. Next question came from a boy with Sean. He said, what's up, team, keep it clean. It's with Sean here with another question. And in this question, I will be asking about the inside noise rather than the outside noise that could have been impacting Lamar's game these past couple of years. All right, let's see what you got to say. We sometimes talk about the outside noise that could and sometimes does impact Lamar Jackson's game from time to time. But with Hollywood being traded and now knowing that he's been winning a trade for a couple of years, we now know that there was some inside noise going on and noise being told directly to Lamar Jackson himself. Hollywood has stated that he has told Lamar and has had multiple conversations throughout the years about not being satisfied being a Raven and wanting to leave. I believe all of that started after 2020 season when the soldiers were not being used. Prior to that predictable non-soldier using season, I have and I'm sure we can all recall Lamar spreading the ball well and he wasn't really forcing balls to Andrews or Hollywood as he was actually taking what the defense was giving him and living to see another down. That didn't seem like the case much in 2021. Although in the beginning of the season, Lamar was on pace to have his best year of his career and was in the MVP race once again. Something was off. Lamar wasn't always taking what the defense was giving him and he wasn't spreading the ball around. And most importantly, he was force feeding the ball to Hollywood like there was no tomorrow. Could this have been Lamar listening to the inside noise from Hollywood and that kept Lamar from playing Lamar Jackson football to keep his friend in Baltimore? That's a really good question. And you know, you ever been in a situation where you're in a group setting but one of your friends is there too. You're in this group setting. Maybe you're doing like a group project or something. You're all working on it or whatnot in school and one of your friends is in your group and he's just struggling with something. Everybody else is getting it but your friend is just struggling with something. You're like, man, he ain't getting it or she ain't getting it. All right, I gotta go the extra mile so I can help them out because I want them to be here with the rest of us. I want them to get an A on this project like we all hope to get as a group, as a collective unit.  I want us all to be on the same page. So you're doing that and the other people in the group, they see it and they're like, hey, what's going on? Everything okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it.  And that could be the same thing that happened with Lamar Jackson. It's some really good points that you brought out about that inside noise. Hollywood, yeah, like he expressed, he told everybody he hadn't been happy for years. This was not a new thing. This was not just this year, this has been for multiple years. He wanted out, he wanted out, wanted to be gone, wanted to get traded. So of course, and he did say he expressed that to Lamar Jackson and Lamar Jackson, of course, why would Lamar Jackson want Hollywood to be traded? So Lamar could have been like, you know what? I got you. Don't worry about none of that. I got you, trust me, I got you. So that could have been a reason for Lamar, giving them the ball so much. He did throw the ball to him a lot, but at the same time too, you got to think about it, like Hollywood been making plays for Lamar ever since Hollywood's rookie year. That has been his biggest play, his biggest play receiver. Dude, it's ever since 2019. It's been Hollywood. There's been other guys here in there too, but the one who's been giving him the most has been Hollywood. And him and Mark Andrews, those have been his two guys. And he also force-fed Mark Andrews, but don't nobody complain about that. So it's a lot of the same thing with Lamar Jackson. He, yeah, he did force-feed Hollywood, but he force-fed them. It could have been because he didn't want to lose them and he wanted to make them happy, but it also could have been because that's who he had the most trust for, just like he does with Mark Andrews. But now that Hollywood is gone, you know what Mark Andrews still gonna eat, but now it should result in that ball being spread around a lot more. But he also had one more paragraph. He said, now knowing what we know about Hollywood not being happy in Baltimore, I do think that had an impact on Lamar's game. And I think that now, that he doesn't have to worry about that inside noise and keeping his friend happy, he can go back to playing Lamar Jackson football. Although there were a whole lot of other things like the old line, Gregory Lamar needed to work on some things, et cetera. That was affecting this game. I believe that the inside noise from Hollywood was definitely getting to him. What do you think? Was the inside noise getting to Lamar with Hollywood getting traded and prove Lamar's game? I'd like to hear your thoughts. That's it for me for this question from subscribers episode. Love y'all, I appreciate y'all. And just like what Hollywood said to Lamar and Lamar Ruz's ankle, I'm out.  But yeah, man. I do think Hollywood being traded, that can, it can actually help Lamar's game because yeah, like we said, now he has one less go-to guy. So now you have to go to other guys more and just him building that rapport with a pro shape, with a Bateman, with a dude, with a Tylen, with these other, and whoever else makes the roster a wide receiver, this will give them an opportunity to really be able to show themselves. And Lamar an opportunity to really be able to show himself and just for him to have big trust with his other receivers. Next question came from Elix, it's Odell Beckham Jr. They ain't great even how you and the family doing. We doing pretty good. I have your answer at wide receiver but I need you to hear though. It's Odell Beckham Jr. Let me break it down for you. We all know that Odell Beckham Jr. had a second ACL surgery. That's not his fault.  He says the doctor said, who did his first surgery, they messed up really bad and that it was going to tear again and that it was going to happen soon too. Odell Beckham Jr. got surgery on February 23rd, 2022, I think nine days after the Super Bowl. So that would put him at about six months to start field work like running and another two and a half months to doing wide receiver explosion drills, routes and doing his personal condition that put us closer to November, December, depending on everything going at schedule. See, the first part with that, so with Odell Beckham Jr. I love Odell Beckham Jr. And I feel like he would be, I feel like he would love to be a Raven and I feel like he would just have so much fun. But if it wasn't Odell Beckham Jr's fault, okay, cool, it wasn't his fault but it's almost like, and if the first doctor messed up, you would hope that the second doctor would clean it up and keep it clean and fix it or whatnot, but it's almost like he would be like damaged goods or something. So the first doctor messed it up and they expected the tear to happen again a second time, I don't know about that one. And with Odell, and I got to get to read and the rest of your question, but with Odell, it'd be nice. Yeah, you're going to get them later on in the season, but what does that do for you now? What does that do for you early on? And I know Rams, they got him later on in the season, but they also had a Cooper Cup. They also, well, before the season started, they had Robert Woods, but he towards ACL, they had Van Jefferson too. But like, so getting him now, you're not going to be able to really get him till later. So I just, I would rather somebody who can contribute right here right now because then you can start building the chemistry. You can start building the chemistry early. With Odell Beckham Jr, that chemistry, it's a possibility that they may never have chemistry like that. Because if he's not going to be ready till like December, that's right before playoff time. And yeah, you got a chance to build some stuff up, but if he's just going to be starting to get into the thicker things and just starting to get back into like football shape, I'm sure Odell going to try to push to go earlier, but safe instance is December. And then he just started getting right, he started doing his explosion drills and the route running and all that. Then it's like, oh, like, okay, playoffs right around the corner. Do we have time, and are you for Odell Beckham Jr? Once he was activated to the roster, who's getting deactivated? Who are you putting down for Odell to come up? Especially, and it could be somebody that has chemistry with Lamar, based off of how the years been going. So, but anyway, let me keep going. He said, if the Ravens were to sign him early and give him the playbook now so he could learn plays, Greg Roman. Oh, he said so he could learn plays. Greg Roman, when the season starts, he'll be on the physically unable to perform list until November. They have about two weeks to bring him to the active roster. I think in those two weeks, well, it's three weeks. But still, he said in those two weeks, Lamar Jackson and Odell Beckham Jr. can somewhat build chemistry. When it comes to games, they could have him on a pitch count and sometimes have Lamar look his way to so start to get, so he can start to get comfortable. So going to the playoffs, if we make it, he could benefit us in a good way. To me, the Ravens don't have a problem winning regular season games, but kinda have a problem winning the playoffs. Yes, that's true. And I think we need him more around that time more than anything. I feel what you're saying. Yeah, I feel what you're saying and I see why you're saying it. I appreciate you breaking it down the way that you did. But yeah, I would just much rather somebody right here right now. So you're not trying to work on building chemistry with a receiver at the end of the season. If you got somebody that you have that chemistry with already, then that can make the ride that much more smooth. And I'm not saying that you can't build chemistry late because again, look at the Lions. Look at the Lions, I'm so sorry. Look at the Rams, Matt Stafford Lions, that's the first thing that clicked, but look at the, how Matt Stafford and the Rams did when they added Odell Beckham, they added them later and he came through and he made some plays. He made some big time. I mean, us Ravens fans, we know, we remember that fourth down clutch catch where it was looking, just one more play. I think it was like fourth and five. It's like, one more play, y'all, come on. Then Odell Beckham Jr. got it. That Rams game, man, that, the two, what two games like really upset me the most last year? The Rams game hurt cause I just, I knew we were going to win that game. And the Packers went too. Those are two games that I just knew the Ravens were going to win. Rams and the Packers because everything was against them and I just knew like it was going to be one of them, almost like a trap game for both of those teams. Cause Ravens, they were down to their last. They were down to scraps and whatnot on this field, on a roster and the Rams and Packers, they were coming in ready, coming in heavy, two of the NFC favorites, but I just knew the Ravens were going to be able to get both of them, but anyway, Odell Beckham Jr. they were still able to get that chemistry late. So I'm not saying it couldn't happen with Lamar and them, but I just rather somebody who's impacting it right now. But yeah, you did bring up a good point about the regular season games versus playoffs. Playoffs is where we need guys to really show up and show out for sure. Because regular season is cool and it's been cool. Ravens been doing anything in the regular season, but playoffs, that's still the biggest question mark. Next question came from my guide to Sean. He says something I've been thinking about and something I don't really hear people talk about is Ben Mason. I remember we drafted him and everybody for short when we saw Project Pat was out, I for sure did, but then they cut him. But anyway, he said, but then they re-signed him. Ben went to the Patriots, hardball wasn't a fan of it. But then the Patriots cut him, then the Ravens got him back. What do you think this means? I don't even know, really, I don't know. I figured it was like one of those stay ready so you ain't got to get ready moves because they signed him back before they signed Patrick Ricard. And Patrick Ricard, they signed him to a three-year deal. So that could be a two-year deal. It could even be a three-year deal. He may make it all three years. But so with Ben Mason, it might be one of those things where they just keep him around. Maybe he's on a practice squad. Yeah, just in case Patrick dealing with injuries or something like that. So maybe they keep him around on a practice squad. He's not gonna be on an active roster. There's no way to carry no two fullbacks on an active roster. So yeah, I think it's just one of those stay ready so you ain't got to get ready moves and he can be the backup to Patrick Ricard, the Justin Case fullback. And last question on this episode came from my guy, Nick. He said, hey, hope your day is going well. I have a question, more like a vision that I want you to see. So remember, Hollywood wanted to trade and Eric said Hollywood came to him after his rookie year and said that he wanted to be traded or the year after. So listen to this, what if the Ravens already had a set in stone for Hollywood to be traded? Remember that next year we went into the draft and we got Bateman. So we already got Hollywood replacement and that's why this year, we didn't focus on the big wide receiving the draft because we already had it. So what do you think about that? Because we didn't really think about that. Sorry for the long message. Please reply to this in your next video to give our fans some insight on my vision. Thanks. I appreciate it, Nick. Yeah, that's, I think that's definitely part of it. Rashal Bateman was definitely a part of being a Hollywood replacement. And especially because of, I think really Rashal Bateman skill set because it differs a lot from a Hollywood skill set. And I feel like with a Rashal Bateman skill set, it probably matches the Ravens and their style of football better because Rashal Bateman is, he's more physical than a Hollywood Brown. So you need, obviously need that physicality if you're gonna be playing in this Ravens offense. And now that the offense is gonna, probably gonna feature Rashal Bateman as their go-to guy receiver. That's what the expectation is. He of course still got to prove it, but that's what we all expect to go down. It's gonna be different. It's gonna be different. So I do think that this was their plan though, as far as, it was said that they tried to, they wanted to get a receiver though early. It was said that they wanted to get a receiver, but everybody's just started getting snatched up.  Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, let's get him. So yeah, but I mean, let's, it makes sense. It makes sense, because they drafted Hollywood in what, 2019, first round. And then they, then Boykin in the third round, and then 2020, Duvenay third round, Pro Shae, fifth to sixth round, then 2021, they say, oh, we going back into the first again. Because 2020, 2020 was the soldier's comment. That was the soldier's, and then 2021, it was Rashal Bateman. And again, Hollywood said it's been multiple years that he's asked for, he wanted to EV out. It wasn't just last year. So if it's been multiple years, that would be at least two. So that would take us back to 2020. So it would just make sense that Rashal Bateman is there to replace Hollywood. And this would allow them, and my guy, Rome, he pointed this out like a long time ago. I think this, I think like last June, because he talked about how, I was trying to find a message because I was just talking to him about it. Oh, there it goes. Because last June, or June 16th, 2021, he sent me a message. He said, I just thought about something. Every year, teams, the Ravens included, juggle the cap and let players go while signing others. Eric D'Costa will give Lamar, Jackson, Mark Andrews and others money, but with the drafting of Rashal Bateman, he doesn't have to overpay to keep Hollywood. Eric D'Costa isn't just feeling needs. He got his eyes way down the road, predicting obstacles. And we obviously know the obstacle that came was Hollywood wanting to be out. So yeah, it just makes sense. It makes sense that Rashal Bateman was there to feel the void that the Ravens expected to come upon.

Damage, stop the bleeding. Now, at any, we already, the damage has already happened. We've started vasoconstriction and we've started activating our platelets to form the platelet plug. That isn't the clot formation. Clot formation is fast. Now, take a minute to think about this. Vasoconstriction, platelet plug, stimulates. Those things help stimulate the formation of a clot. And the faster a clot can form in damaged tissue, like the better off you're going to be. Those who can form clots faster are more likely to stop the bleeding.  How? What? At any given time, you have procoagulants in your blood. These are proteins that prevent clot formation. And you have, excuse me, I said that totally backwards. You have procoagulants, pro-positive, go for clot formation. They're trying to make a clot form. And you have who? Anti-coagulants. And the anti-coagulants are saying, dude, we do not need to clot. Now, who's winning in undamaged tissue? Both of them are present. There are proteins that are found in the blood plasma. Both of them are present in the blood at all times, but anti-coagulants are present if they're in a greater amount if there is no clotting that has happened. Upon damage, the procoagulants, the concentration of procoagulants in your blood increases. Why? The damaged vessel creates chemicals that the activated platelets create chemicals that increase the number of procoagulants in the system. Watch this amazingness. The procoagulants, there's like a jillion of them. Okay, maybe not that many.  Multiple pathways that we can end up with, but they all end up doing the same thing ultimately. It's like a cascade of chemical reactions. One procoagulant feeds into the next one, which feeds into the next one, which feeds into the next one, until we ultimately end up with a substance called pro-thrombin activator, pro-thrombin activator. And I could totally show you a picture, and we could memorize all the procoagulants that are involved in all the different pathways and how you know you're going to go one pathway or the other pathway, but the end game is that we get pro-thrombin activator. Pro-thrombin activator, what do you think it does? Dudes, it activates pro-thrombin. Watch, pro-thrombin, that says pro-thrombin. Pro-thrombin is this chilling plasma protein. It's not doing jack doodly.  And when it comes in contact with pro-thrombin activator, this is awesome, pro before pro-thrombin becomes thrombin. Now, pro-thrombin is produced in the liver. So let's just make a little star next to that, indicating that this guy is made in the liver. A lot of plasma proteins are, and I want to say something else to you. Vitamin K is involved in pro-thrombin production. So if you have low vitamin K, you're not going to be able to produce as much pro-thrombin. This is interesting. So if everything's normal, you have normal amounts of vitamin K, not all this pro-thrombin floating in your plasma. Thank you, liver. Now we've had damage.  And now we have pro-thrombin activator, which turns pro-thrombin into thrombin. Guess what thrombin does? Thrombin is not the end game. There is another plasma protein floating around in your blood, produced also by the liver, and it is fibrinogen. Fibrinogen, fibrinogen also produced in the liver. Let's make our little star there so that you remember that this is just another plasma protein. Garbage, just producing osmotic pressure. Awesome. Just hang out there. Do nothing until it comes in contact with thrombin. And then guess what happens to fibrinogen? It's got to be orange, dog pounds got to be orange. It turns into a substance. Thrombin makes contact with fibrinogen, causes a chemical reaction and turns fibrinogen into fibrin.  Fibrin fibers, in fact, look and be amazed. This is a red blood cell and these are fibrin fibers. Fibrin is just a protein, fiber that is sticky and grabs blood cells, it grabs anything in the vicinity and it makes this net of total madness. And the fibrin is actually the bulk of a clot. Over time, the clot itself, the fibrin equals the clot. Like it's this sticky net that creates an actual blood clot. Fibrin, when it, over time after the clot has formed, it actually retracts platelets, play a role in that.  They also have calcium in their endoplasmic reticulums because remember they have some cell parts, those platelets do.  And fluid is squeezed out of your clot and that's like that clear, fluid-y stuff that can come out of a damaged wound.  Clot retraction just means it's like tightening down, it's becoming more dense. It becomes a layering or a covering that's super tough, like scabs are not messing around. It's a scab. You just made a scab through the process of retraction. There's something else that I really wanted to tell you about. Oh, so, oh no, I already told you that, that the healthy cells are producing like undamaged cells are producing the anticoagulants that prevent clot formation in the first place. Okay, how do you feel? Oh, no, this was the really cool thing. Okay, I knew there was something really cool that I wanted to remember at the end. The clot forms and it's also a, like you can imagine, if you take too long to clot, it's not going to be very effective. So the clot, as it forms, it covers up the damaged endothelium. You've got this whole positive feedback thing that's happening, but eventually the clot covers the damage which prevents the stimulus that creates all these procoagulants and ultimately you have a negative feedback. That prevents clotting from all the way all over the place. So the, the healthy tissue surrounding the damage, the healthy tissue goes back to producing its anticoagulants, to producing things that are going to keep your blood vessels happy and open and not clotting. And it's because the clot covers over the damage. Once that damage stimulus is removed, then the clot formation stops. How do you feel? I have to just say one more thing? No, I won't. Okay, now let's talk about some mechanisms that might work, some mechanisms by which anticoagulants might function.


Heavy artillery fire sounded in the streets of Chesapear, a town just west of Bakhmat, and the nearby village of Kalanivka in eastern Ukraine from nearby Ukrainian positions as well as incoming impacts. Between apartment blocks in Chesapear, mainly elderly residents queued for water and food delivered by a team from the state emergency service. Officers if the emergency service knocked on doors asking elderly and disabled people in Chesapear and nearby villages to get ready for evacuation from the town, located 17 kilometers from the battered city of Bakhmat. Military administration of Chesapear said the evacuation of children from the town was completed on March 19. Ukrainian forces have repelled Russian attempts to advance into the center of Bakhmat, a top Ukrainian general said on March 21, but the situation in the city and around it remained extremely tense. The months-long battle for Bakhmat has become one of the bloodiest of Russia's nearly 13-month-old war in Ukraine.

We're typically thinking about those corporations that are publicly traded when we're thinking about our normal kinds of investments. That means they have chosen to be traded on public exchanges. The dividends of a corporation represent the distribution of the earnings of the corporation to the shareholders, the owners in the form of dividends. They are similar to draws for a sole proprietorship or a partnership. But if you're in, say, a partnership, each partner may then determine how much they want to draw out of the income that they have basically generated or the income allocated to them. Whereas in a corporation, we can't have one stock getting different dividends than another stock because that would make the stocks not the same in nature. Therefore, the dividend policy has to be given an aggregate of all the stocks in essence and it's going to be then determined by the board of directors and the management determining how the dividends will be distributed. Also, remember that dividends is only one component of the kind of income, the kind of return we want from the investments in stocks. We want the dividends, the actual money that's coming back to us and or growth in the value of the stock because of course we can sell the stock as well. Now, when the company gives out dividends, they may choose, you know, different dividend strategies in terms of when they're going to be giving the dividend. They might give the dividends out quarterly, for example, they may give the dividends out yearly, quarterly is fairly common. Most of the time, the dividend strategies that a company wants is to increase the dividends over time because that looks good, looks healthy. They don't typically like to decrease the dividends, but they might also have other strategies tying their dividends to the amount of their earnings, for example. So a quick example of dividends going out, we might say that we have shares of 225, the quarterly dividend per share. So they're going to give the dividend on a per share basis. That's the beauty of the stocks is that we can break them out into these standardized units and break out the dividends that are going out on a per share basis. If we own 225 shares and they're given out 60 cents per share, then that means that we've got the shares of 225, the quarterly dividend. They're given out 60 cents on a quarterly basis times the number of shares that we have 225 would mean that we would get that multiplying out to 225 times the 0.6 or the 135. If we want to calculate the yearly dividend, which of course is quite common because oftentimes when we're doing analysis types of procedures comparing the dividend payout, for example, from this company to another company, for example, we often do that on a yearly basis. That's going to be the general timeframe, the default timeframe that we kind of work on. So if I had a quarterly dividend and I'm getting 135, then four quarters in a year, that would mean we'd have the 540 on the yearly dividends. Now, as we go forward with the dividend policies, we might make different assumptions to try to value the stock to try to predict what's going to happen in the future. For example, we might predict they have stable dividends if the dividends haven't changed throughout the year. If the dividends do change throughout the year, then the question is what what are the dividends going to do? Oftentimes, the question will be what are the dividends going to do going forward because we're often valuing the stock at this point forward. And again, the general trend would be that most companies would like their dividends to go up. They don't like to retract the dividends, make them go down because that's a bad signal to the market. However, they might have some other policies that tie the dividends again to like the earnings, for example, so that so that you can have an idea of what's going to happen with the relation to the earnings that are taking place. So we'll do some more calculation on using dividends in future presentations.


I'm often asked why I train house cleaners and I'm about to share that with you today. Hi there, I'm Angela Brown and this is Ask a House Cleaner. This is a show where you get to ask a house cleaning question and I get to help you find an answer. Now, today's show is brought to us by Savvy Cleaner Training, which is a company that I started on January 1st of 2016. And we have produced all of these videos for you and we're going to share with you a series of five over the next week that's going to introduce you to our new learning library and how it came to be. So first of all, why I train house cleaners? Well, all right, back up a second. I've been a professional house cleaner for 25 years. I started my business back in 1991.  I was delivering pizzas for Domino's. I was delivering newspapers for the Charlotte Observer. I was waiting tables at Harper's Restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina. And one of the waiters asked me if I would like to help her during the day on her house cleaning business. And I had the small window of time and I was really in need of money. So I said, yes, I will help you. My business relationship with her lasted all of one day when I realized that our work ethics did not match up. So I left the next day after earning $150 cleaning my first house. And I said, wait a second, I could make a business out of this. All right. First and foremost, I had no business experience, but I realized there was opportunity. And that's the first step to running a successful business, to recognize there's an opportunity and you may be a good fit. Now, I jumped in head first not knowing if I was a good fit. This is back in the days. I'll be honest with you, not a lot of small businesses had websites. And so as house cleaners, we did not have websites to promote ourselves. There were no Facebook groups at the time to spin ideas off of. There wasn't a Google that would answer questions for you in a way that it does today. And YouTube did not exist. And so as far as finding information to start my own business, I had to go back to the community college and I had to take business and marketing courses and sales courses and customer relationship courses and management courses and how to hire employee courses and a whole bunch of other things in order to learn the skills that I was missing in my business. But I jumped in head first and within three months after starting my house cleaning business, I had a full staff of people. My schedule was full and I was being invited now to go to other cleaning companies that were in other cities and other states to train their people with the systems that we had pulled together. Now I say systems. I love to batch things and I love to streamline all of my work because I like to only do things once. I want to repurpose it as many times as I can. I want to figure out a way that I can systematize everything so I'm not reinventing the wheel over and over again because that to me is exhausting. So if I can make this easy and simple, that's my goal. So now I started training after three months in the business and I've been training for the last 20 years all over the country and all over the globe. I've now been in 31 different countries training different cultures on how we do the business. And it's a little bit different based on where you are geographically but the core values are the same. So what I've been doing is training while I've been running my house cleaning business. All right. So fast forward back to 2015, 2015 I've been in the business and all of a sudden my husband and I, we were gifted a troubled 15 year old and the troubled 15 year old was a huge turning point in my life. It was the moment where everything came to a sudden halt and I had to stop and reinvent myself. Now as house cleaners you will find through the course of your career there are times you will scale up and scale down based on what is going on in your personal life at the time. It's one of the things I love most about the house cleaning business. But here in 2015 I found myself with a troubled 15 year old on my door, everybody had given up on her because of the choices she had made and she had become so problematic to everyone around her. No one could live in the space she was in. She was self-harming. She would cut herself on a regular basis. She threatened suicide. She was addictive. She lied to everyone. She stole from everyone. She assaulted people that were in her reach.  And my husband and I had a long talk about it and one of the challenges that we had is the family member whose daughter she was, we were unable to save. And so there was always this kind of lingering guilt we wish we could have done more. And so now her daughter comes to us with some of the same self-destructive behaviors and we felt that if we could let her live with us and we could help her find some hope and some happiness and some stability that perhaps she could have a better life and this would be like our way of a second chance, if you will. So we agreed to bring her in our home and it was one of the most frustrating, most devastating things I've ever been through. I was not emotionally prepared to finish raising a child with those behaviors. I'd never been through that before. I'd never seen it before. I don't have any official training or licensing or whatever to manage that kind of behavior.  Like if she physically assaults people, I can't have her assaulting my clients. I can't have her assaulting my employees. If she steals things, I can't take her to jobs with me because I can't have her stealing from my customers. If she's self-harming and cutting herself, I can't leave her at home because while I'm out on the job, I may come home and she has expired. So there are some very serious issues going on that made me just stop in my tracks and say, you know what, I've got to reinvent myself. And so in 2015, with everything that I knew, I had run a very incredibly successful cleaning company, but now I'm at a pivoting point, I've got to change. I've got to be able to stay at home and reinvent my life in order to help her save hers. And so for me, everything that I knew was getting on a plane, going to other companies, sitting there for a week or two weeks or whatever it was and doing training and helping their people get up and running and then going on to the next company or coming back and managing my own. And so I know the internet existed. I wasn't a fan of it. Quite honestly, I'm scared of it and I hoped it would go away, but it did not. And so there I found myself at a crossroads saying, okay, I can learn this. I can learn the internet. I can learn social media. I can learn about websites. I can learn all the things that I need in order to create my training online. And so I sold all of my assets. I got rid of my business. I close out my business. I officially retired at the end of 2015. And I opened the doors to Savvy Cleaner Training on January 1st of 2016. Now don't miss tomorrow's episode because I'm going to share with you the reasons why I offer all of the free content that I do. I know it's very unique, but it's a great strategy. I'll talk to you about that tomorrow. If you found this helpful, please pass it on to a friend. If we've earned your subscription, please subscribe. And until we meet again, leave the world a cleaner place than when you found it.


Smallest elevator ever. This is the smallest elevator I've ever been in.  I have to hold this button as we go up. Ready? And then we're away. I have to hold it or it stops. I wonder if the roof is lower than my height. Let's find out. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh, just got there. Press this one. Here we go. Yeah, free. I'm a survivor.


Here we will examine the lymphatics related to stomach cancer surgery. However, knowledge of the precise arterial arrangement is necessary first. For orientation, we locate the ciliac trunk close to the pancreas head. Note its three main branches, the sponic artery, left gastric artery, and common hepatic artery. The left gastric artery, after giving off a cardio branch, divides into anterior and posterior gastric branches, which run along the lesser curvature. Interestingly, in this specimen, the common hepatic artery divides into four branches, the left and right hepatic branches, gastroduodenal artery, and the right gastric artery. The right gastric artery anestimosis with the left gastric artery at the angular incisor. Moving to the pylorus, we find the supraduodenal arteries, which are distributed to the first superior portion of the duodenum. Back to the left and right branches of the hepatic artery, we see the right branch gives off the cystic artery, which runs over Callow's Triangle made up of the liver, the common hepatic duct, and the cystic duct. Reflecting the stomach cranially, we see the division of the gastroduodenal artery into the right gastroduodenal artery and the anterior superior pancreatical duodenal artery. Tracing the anterior superior pancreatical duodenal artery, we see it meets the anterior inferior pancreatical duodenal artery to form an arterial arcade. The inferior artery originates from the superior mesenteric artery and gives off branches to the initial portion of the duodenum. The superior mesenteric artery is surrounded by an autonomic nerve plexus. By removing these nerves, we can locate the origin of the anterior inferior pancreatical duodenal artery from the superior mesenteric artery. There is another transverse running artery which joins the anterior pancreatical duodenal arcade to form the pre-pancreatic arcade. Tracing this artery, we find it originates from SMA. Returning the gastroduodenal artery, we find it gives off the posterior superior pancreatical duodenal artery, which runs on the posterior surface of the pancreas head, close to the common bile duct. Moving toward SMA, we find it gives off the common inferior pancreatical duodenal artery, which divides into anterior and posterior branches. Here we follow the posterior branch, and note it meets the corresponding superior branch to form the posterior pancreatical duodenal arcade. Next, we will follow the splenic artery and its branches. Reflecting the stomach upwards, we see the ciliac trunk, the common hepatic artery, left gastric artery, and the splenic artery. The splenic artery and vein run together along the upper border of the pancreas. Numerous branches from the splenic artery supply the pancreas. Following the splenic artery, we see that it gives off a branch to the left side of the greater curvature. Note that its branches enter the posterior surface of the stomach rather than the greater curvature. Another artery from the splenic artery enters the posterior surface of the stomach. It is the posterior gastric artery, which is distributed near the cardia. Note along the greater curvature, the left and right gastroepiploid arteries appear to meet. Returning the stomach, we see the short gastric arteries supply the fundus. Here is another specimen with the stomach reflected upwards, with the large torturous splenic artery. And reflecting the stomach to the right, we find the left inferior phrenic artery, which passes close to the left suprarino gland and reaches the diaphragm. This artery gives off a branch, called the cardioesophageal artery, which reaches the left side of the cardia. Interestingly, this artery will be significant, we will see later, it serves as a pathway along which efferent lymphatics run from the pericardial nodes. Now we will look at the lymphatics of this region. Looking at the stomach, we see the cardia and the pylorus. The left lobe of the liver has been removed. We see the caudate lobe surrounded by arterial folds. We can insert a finger behind the caudate lobe in the upper recess of the omental bursa and grasp these arterial folds. In the left fold are the left gastric artery and vein, and in the right fold, the common hepatic artery. From the hepatic artery, the right gastric artery originates and returns to the lesser curvature in a recurrent type course. The left gastric artery divides into anterior and posterior branches. The anterior branch gives off a cardial branch and runs along the lesser curvature and communicates with the right gastric artery to form a loop along the lesser curvature. Along the lesser curvature, we see numerous lymph nodes near the left gastric artery. Also lymphatics along the hepatic branch of the vagus communicate with these left gastric nodes. Note this completely independent lymph vessel within the lesser omentum. And additionally, we see lymphatics which run along the left gastric vein. Now moving to the cardiolymphatics, the pericardial nodes communicate in three different directions. Here we see the right communication with the aforementioned left gastric nodes. Let's look at another direction of cardiac lymphatics passing through the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. Looking at the cardiosophageal region, we see the aforementioned pericardial nodes as well as additional nodes near the esophageal hiatus of the diaphragm. We open the hiatus and remove the fatty and connective tissues surrounding the esophagus. We can now see the lymphatics which encircle the lower end of the esophagus. This network includes the pericardial nodes of the rightward communication. We also see another direction of communication with the nodes in the right angle between the esophagus and diaphragm or the posterior diaphragmatic nodes. Now we will look at the third direction of the rightward communication. We reflect the stomach to the right and also reflect the spleen and pancreas body to reveal the splenic artery and vein and the posterior surface of the pancreas body. Note the lymphatics along the splenic artery which cross over the posterior gastric artery to reach the left ciliac nodes. Unfortunately, we did not dissect the lymphatics along the posterior gastric artery. Moving to the left inferior phrenic artery and vein, we note the cardiosophageal branch of the left inferior phrenic artery. Returning the cardioregion by pulling the stomach, again we see the left group of pericardial nodes. If we trace these lymphatics, we find they descend along the left inferior phrenic vessels. The lymphatics then converge with the left gastric lymphatics to finally reach the large left ciliac nodes behind the spenic vessels at the level of the left renal vein. Now we will look at the greater curvature where the gastroepiploid vessels form an arterial arch. Along this arch, lymphatics run. Starting from the left gastroepiploid vessels and tracing to the right, we reach the right gastroepiploid artery near the pylorus. Here we see large lymph nodes, the pyloric nodes, which lie just below the pylorus and in front of the pancreas head. Here, from a wider view, we will look at the pyloric nodes. These pyloric nodes hold a significant position. They are located just at the bifurcation of the gastrodoadenal artery where it divides into the right gastroepiploid artery and the anterior superior pancreatic odoadenal artery. These nodes receive lymphatics from not only vessels along the gastroepiploid arteries, but also from vessels on the anterior surface of the pancreas head and from vessels along the second part of the doodenum. Interestingly, from these pyloric nodes, lymph does not flow upwards to the ciliac trunk. Rather, it flows downward to the superior mesentery vessels. Next, we will look at the lymphatics along the hepatic pedicle, which contains the bile duct, portal vein, and hepatic artery. Following the lymphatics along the right gastric artery, we reach the well-developed lymphatic network on the anterior surface of the hepatic pedicle. Some of the lymph drains into nodes along the common hepatic artery. However, some lymphatics run downward and to the right to reach a node situated to the right of the common bile duct. It is the so-called epiploid foreman node. Reflecting the liver and pancreas head, we see the epiploid foreman node connect to the superior retro-pancreatic doodenal nodes of Ruvier, which are situated on the posterior surface of the lower end of the hepatic pedicle. These nodes receive numerous lymphatics, not only from the posterior surface of the hepatic pedicle, but also from the posterior surface of the pancreas head. From these Ruvier nodes, lymphatics run proximally, superficial to the nerve plexus, and reach the interaortical cable nodes just above and below the left renal vein. Note the connection between these interaortical cable nodes on the surface of the left renal vein. Here, the inferior vena cava and the left renal vein have been removed. Note how the lymphatics from SMA convert to a thick lymph vessel, which descends obliquely to the right of the aorta. These lymphatics drain into the retrocaval nodes and interaortical cable nodes. Next, we will remove part of the aorta to review the lateral aortic lymphatic chain. Lymphatics from the right side and from the left side and those along SMA converge at the cisterna caili and form the thoraxic duct. The thoraxic duct then ascends between the thoraxic aorta and the ozygous vein. The basic abdominal lymphatics have been demonstrated. Before observing the ciliac plexus, first we will examine the anterior vagus trunk, a parasympathetic component. From the hepatic artery, first the right gastric artery is given off. Then another branch is given off, though not a genuine left gastric artery. Then lower, we find the true left gastric artery directly from the ciliac trunk. The branches from the accessory left gastric artery are distributed to the cardiosophageal region. This accessory artery serves as a marker for the hepatic branch of the anterior vagus. At the hiatus of the diaphragm, we can see the anterior vagus trunk. Here with the diaphragm cut from the level of the tracheal bifurcation, you can see plexus formation of the left and right vagus nerves. Moving downwards, we note that the left vagus is the major component of the anterior vagus trunk. However, some branches from the right vagus also contribute to its formation. From the anterior vagus trunk, we now see its hepatic branch. This hepatic branch runs along the accessory left gastric artery and bifurcates into that reaching the portahepatus and that which descends along the hepatic pedicle to rejoin the hepatic plexus. In this specimen, the anterior gastric branch is not well developed. However, numerous intermediate branches run within the lesser momentum to reach the angular notch and the pyloric region. Now we will observe the posterior vagus trunk, which contributes to the formation of the ciliac plexus. The major component of the posterior vagus trunk is the right vagus. However, the left vagus also contributes to its formation. The posterior vagus trunk reaches the area of the left gastric artery. Reflecting the stomach, we see numerous branches distributed to its posterior surface. Here we note a branch which descends along the posterior gastric artery to reach the splenic artery. Tracing another branch of the posterior vagus, the ciliac branch, we see it runs behind the hepatic branches of the anterior vagus to reach the left gastric artery near the ciliac trunk. This is the parasympathetic component of the ciliac plexus. We will observe the sympathetic component of the ciliac plexus. To trace the sympathetic nerve, we reflect the right portion of the diaphragm medially and downwards. From the thoraxic sympathetic chain, a few branches originate to form the greater splenic nerve. Where this nerve pierces the diaphragm, a small ganglion is seen. Also, the lesser splenic nerve and the sympathetic trunk pierce the diaphragm. In order to observe the right ciliac ganglion, we cut the diaphragm. We see the inferior vena cava and the right adrenal gland. We now cut the right superior superrenal arteries in order to reflect the adrenal gland and view the course of the splenic nerve. Returning the gland, numerous superrenal arterial branches from the inferior phrenic artery are cut in order to view the right ciliac ganglion, which is the termination of the greater splenic nerve. The greater splenic nerve forms the lateral limb of the right ciliac ganglion. Now we will observe the medial limb of the formation of the ciliac ganglion. With the spleen reflected to the right, we will look at the left ciliac ganglion. As we saw with the right side, the greater splenic nerve contributes and also the posterior vagus reaches the ciliac trunk and finally the left ciliac ganglion. Returning to the right side, we notice that from the right ciliac ganglion, numerous branches run along the ciliac and superior mesenteric arteries and are distributed to the posterior surface of the pancreas head and bile duct. Also from this ganglion, branches are distributed to the adrenal gland and kidney.  Lymphatics from the above-mentioned area converge to this thick vessel and then drain into the interaortical cable lymph nodes. Here in a unique view, these structures will be dissected from behind. With the muscles removed and complete laminectomy, the spinal cord is easily viewed. By mid-sectioning the spinal column longitudinally, the vertebral bodies are viewed. The vertebral column was removed from the surrounding structures. In the upper thoraxic area, the esophagus is viewed and lower we see the aorta and the esophagus vein and also the intercostal veins which drain into the esophagus. The right intercostal arteries pass behind the esophagus vein and even lower we see the lumbar arteries. The right and left lumbar trunks unite to form the thoraxic duct. We cut the intercostal vessels to obtain a better view of the thoraxic duct. Following the natural course of the thoraxic duct, we note that it shifts from ascending directly behind the esophagus to running along its left margin. In the lumbar region, we observe the abdominal aorta as well as the right and left crura of the diaphragm which surround it. Shifting the aorta slightly, we see the upper border of the aortic hiatus. In the lumbar region, we see the left and right renal arteries and the aorta. Note there is a space between the aorta and the inferior vena cava. This space contains the interaortic ocaval lymph nodes. Left to the aorta, the lateral aortic lymph nodes are well developed in this specimen and they form a chain. These lymphatics from along the right and left sides of the aorta continue to the lumbar trunks and contribute to the formation of the thoraxic duct. Note the various lymphatics as well as the nodes into the initial portion of the thoraxic duct. At the level of the aortic hiatus, the lymphatics arrangement is very complex. The left cru of the diaphragm is reflected to review the left renal artery. Interestingly, below the left renal artery, large lateral aortic lymph nodes are seen. Also just above it, more lateral aortic nodes are located. Now, by cutting the left renal artery, more lymphatic connections are revealed. Likewise, on the right side, we cut the rather thin right renal artery, as well as the supernumerary renal artery above it and that to the adrenal gland in preparation for the removal of the aorta. Now, with the intercostal vessels removed, we will observe the terminal portion of the thoraxic duct. First, we will trace the thoraxic duct from the origin upwards. Then we reach the cervical region where the duct goes between the left subclavian and common carotid arteries. The duct is in close proximity to the vagus nerve and the left vertebral vein. It winds around the internal juggler vein to drain into the left venous angle, which is formed by the union of the internal juggler and subclavian veins. Now, at the upper thoraxic level, we longitudinally cut the thoraxic duct and open it to reveal a typical valve. Now we will remove the aorta at the level slightly below the aortic arch. We cut the aorta and then reflect it as far as the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm. From the esophageal hiatus to the aortic hiatus, we cut part of the diaphragm to observe the posterior surface of the abdominal esophagus. Now we will cut the ciliac trunk as well as the superior mesentery artery. We can shift the aorta as far as the inferior mesentery artery. Finally, we cut the aorta just above the inferior mesentery artery in order to view the intact abdominal emphatics from behind. Now we will observe ciliac plexus formation from behind. Near the ciliac trunk and just above the left renal vein, the well-developed ciliac plexus can be seen. The right ciliac anglion and right greater splanchnic nerve also reach this plexus. Here we see the posterior surface of the lower esophagus. The posterior vagus trunk bifurcates and enters the corresponding ciliac ganglia. By shifting the left renal vein slightly below the superior mesentery artery, we see pre-aortic lymph nodes. We now cut the left renal vein to the pre-aortic lymphatics. Numerous rather thick lymphatics are connected. These pre-aortic nodes serve as intermediary nodes between the lymphatics from the internal organs and the nodes along the aorta. Lymph nodes surrounding the abdominal aorta, the thoraxic duct, and the ciliac plexus were dissected from behind.


What's really interesting about doing business in markets like Nigeria is you can make some great money, but in the process of doing that, you can deliver significant social value because you're solving massive problems. In Nigeria, you have around 52 million small farmers, the majority of which pay for off farm labor. That's expensive, it's inefficient, and it's oftentimes unavailable when needed. And this means that crops are planted late, land is under cultivated, so it's literally money being left on the field. We develop technology to solve this problem. We have a low-cost smart tractor that connects to the cloud. The hardware is just a simple low-cost tractor with a GPS antenna, local SIM card so we can transmit data over SMS and 2G and telematics. It's really simple. If you're a farmer and you need tractor services, you just send off a text message and we'll pair that request with the nearest smart tractor and those tractor services are actually delivered at a rate that's below the cost of manual labor. So it's really a win-win for both the farmers who need tractor services and that smart tractor owner that we sold the tractor to. What compels me to work with Hello Tractor is really intellectual curiosity and how you can use innovation to solve real problems. Without previous job doing private equity investment banking, there's a ton of people that can do that job. But people interested in solving problems for small farmers in rural Nigeria using really important technology that the market there currently doesn't have access to, it's not a whole lot of people. So just, you know, my self-worth is tied up into this work and that's what makes it important to me and it makes my work feel relevant. So for the talent around the world, it's important to understand that in these frontier markets the opportunity is massive to not only be financially successful but do work that's incredibly meaningful.


The paper proposes a novel Siamese-based Spatial Temporal Attention Neural Network for Remote Sensing Image Change Detection, CD. The proposed method models the spatial temporal relationships between pixels in two coregistered images taken at different times, which improves the performance of CD methods. The self-attention module calculates attention weights between any two pixels at different times and positions and uses them to generate more discriminative features. The self-attention is introduced in each sub-region of the image to capture spatial temporal dependencies at various scales. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art methods on a public remote sensing image CD dataset. This article was authored by Hao Chen and Jin Weishu.

First exercise is squat press. What we're going to do, dumbbells on top of the shoulders, squat down, keeping the back nice and flat. Pressing up through the legs, pushing up through the arms. Second exercise, single arm kettlebell swings. We're going to generate the movement from the hips using both arms to start with. Then we're going to move into a single arm. We're moving one arm from the kettlebell when we're comfortable with it. The next move, we're going to start with the dumbbells flat facing away from the body. Curl up to shoulder height, then press and twist so the dumbbells are overhead. Next move, keep the back as flat as possible. Bend the knees so there's a soft bend. Then we're going to draw the dumbbells back past the body. And the last exercise is bench dips. What we want here, hands slightly outside shoulder width, elbows above the hands, shoulders in front of the elbows. We lower the body in a controlled manner, pushing up to full extension of the arms and triceps. Next exercise, double arm kettlebell swings.


Welcome back folks of Dow. Dow's down 215 to get the Nasdaq off 110, S&P's are off 27. We'll get some selling committees to close, no doubt. I guess today folks is Richard Horuska. Richard is the executive director of the Thai Tampa Bay Network. This is a non-profit organization devoted to entrepreneurs in all industries and stages. Their mission is to foster entrepreneurship through the robust Thai network. Richard, welcome to TFNN. Thanks, Tom. It's awesome to be here. We appreciate it. So tell us first off about exactly what the Thai Tampa Bay is. So Thai actually is a global organization founded in Silicon Valley in 1992. The organization now has over 60 chapters worldwide and we were founded locally in Tampa Bay in 2012. Predominantly the organization was founded by folks from the Indian community a good 30 years ago but now the organization has grown to support all entrepreneurs no matter their background. So we do a couple of key things. We fund entrepreneurs. We mentor entrepreneurs. We educate entrepreneurs and we network with fellow entrepreneurs. So those are kind of the four key pillars of Thai Tampa Bay. Nice. And you've seen quite a difference now since 2012, you said you opened, right? Yeah, sure have. So what's pretty fascinating about the organization. So I'm actually the volunteer leader and the president of the organization. We just brought on a full-time executive director. The organization has predominantly been led by volunteers locally in the community. So that's what's pretty fascinating. But we really wanted to kind of grow to the next level. We just brought on our first full-time executive director, Mona Patel and she was just named Business Journal 2525 just this morning. Well congratulations, man. That's great news. You know, and it's been no doubt really intriguing for all of us to kind of run that Tampa Bay has had these last basically 10 years. You know, and it's intriguing. I told a couple other entrepreneurs, you know, I've been down here 25 years but I remember when Boston wasn't the Boston that people see right now. In fact, one of my offices was right beside the guy that Lotus 123. Mitch had three people in his office. I had 25 and he had three. So it was just really cool how fast things can go, right? When you have a support system. No question. You know, I've, when I was an entrepreneur earlier in my career I didn't have the benefit of having the ecosystem we have now. And there once was a time in Tampa Bay where maybe once a year there'd be a big company with a big successful sale of their company or maybe one company would be moving to the area now. It's like once a week. Others is coming called fast.  So now we were just named the top tech city, I believe by Forbes. So yeah, we're, I believe we're unstoppable to use a mantra of my alma mater USF. I like it. So let me ask you, you know, I saw that Dr. Patel is on there and what ends up happening like in any big city folks, you know, I believe he was in the medical business, right? Sure was. Made a huge, you know, entrepreneur. They had a lot of patents. It's really cool that you have someone like that and then they're willing to basically, whether it's fund, I use the Rolodex, I get education going so that the next crowd, you know, meaning whether it can be people in their fifties, forties, thirties, you know, twenties to get going, right? Can you talk a little bit about that? Yeah, no questions. So when I first became the volunteer leader and president, you know, him being the chairman emeritus, I just kind of thought he was more there for overall support and I had the pleasure meeting him one on one and was so gracious with his time. And he is very hands on. Actually, I get consistent emails from him and direction and call me one time with some advice. So yeah, he's been an unbelievable advocate for what we do and a great supporter and him and his wife, their foundation is an annual sponsor as well. And then also his son, Sheila, he's become incredibly involved in the chapter as well. He actually spoke at our first in person event that we had with Commissioner Weigel, the statewide financial regulation commissioner and other cool news. We just got accepted to embark collective. So in addition to having a full-time executive director, we actually have a place to call home now. So we're trying to move on up, my friend. Well, that is awesome. And you know, with Dr. Patel, it's interesting, you know, before the crash, I actually was in his office interviewing him. And I know, I know you're talking about hands on. And folks, it's really cool, man. Like, picture this, when you have someone that's been so successful and this guy's just right down to earth. I mean, like, it was just the normal thing saying, Tom, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. And it was like, man, and he had the, he had the, he had all these real estate models inside his office when we were interviewing him. So it was really cool, man. There's no doubt. So, so yacht, when we say Tampa Bay, it's Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, I mean, the reality anyone can come to some of your meetings, right? 100%. Yeah. We have an open membership for kind of all entrepreneurs. And we have kind of an extra kind of, you know, special group called our charter members. Those are what I call a kind of heart and soul of a Thai Tampa Bay, very successful executives, entrepreneurs. It's an annual membership of 1200 a year. And excuse me one second. What's up? Okay. I'm on a live interview champ.  I like it. Listen, man. That's where it's at. And to him, the big urgency was that the lesson for his basketball didn't show up yet. So I love it. No more problems in the day of COVID that we live in. But anyway, so yeah, it's just been a fascinating run. And the charter members, we have over 40 now and we're looking to set a bunch, Mark, to get to past the 100 by the end of next year. And one thing I want to share, Tom, with you and your listeners and as well as we just partner with the Thai Lana and Thai Carolina chapters and came together and our charter members invested over $400,000 into women and minority entrepreneurs. So that's just another example of Thai doing its part to help the underrepresented community. And what do you find is there a certain niche that we're getting in the Tampa Bay area, meaning entrepreneurship or is this kind of spread out? You know, that's a phenomenal question. So I used to be the accelerator director at the Tampa Bay Wave and now I'm a part of Embark Collective and I support all the fellow entrepreneur support organizations. I would say health tech, cyber and secure tech, marketing, advertising tech, education tech is really growing as well. So those are some of the financial tech is rapidly growing. Actually the Wave just announced its new accelerator and FinTech. So, you know, those are some of the top sectors that come to mind. But the great thing is these entrepreneurs, they've got ideas. You know, there used to be a time you had to build a company in the other markets, but now the access to capital and the support network is there. So, yeah, we're seeing tons of different models emerge. And we certainly have the place to live. We know that. You got it, my friend. There's no doubt about that. Well, listen, folks, you can get hold of them by, it's tamper.tai.org, right? Yes. So tamper.tai.org, folks. Okay, check it out. Richard, this has been awesome. We appreciate all the help. We appreciate the education. We appreciate you marketing Tampa Bay, man, and getting these entrepreneurs going and helping them out, man. Yeah. And I would say for my friend J.P. Dubuque and the St. P.E.D.C., who's a rock star, I would say our Tampa St. Pete is definitely the way to further market it. So there's no doubt, man. There's no doubt. Okay, man. Listen, you have a great one. Safe one. We look forward having you on again. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

To read questions with understanding and identify keywords in the questions. Enjoy the program. What's so funny? Meri filled another tip. Look at those answers. I don't believe it. Let me see. 5 out of 20. She seriously filled again. Badly.   Your sister is really trying her best.  Sorry. We need to help Meri with her reading skills and how to answer comprehension questions. Definitely. She doesn't even follow her instructions. Yes. Instructions are so important. We need to speak to her today. Where is she? Probably watching TV. As usual. Let's call her. Doing is my stuff and who gave you permission to go to my bed?  Your people just lying on the desk. Listen, you two. It's not his fighting over this. Let's rather find a way to help your sister. Who said I need help? Your paper does. Meri, we need to talk about your test. You failed against me. No, I didn't. It's an E, not an ungraded. Yes, Meri. 5 out of 20 is a fail. You can do so much better if you improve on your reading skills and how to answer comprehension questions.  Look, Ains, I got all these first answers right just because I did not encircle the letters. She marked it all wrong. Correct. You did not follow the instructions. If the question instructs you to encircle the appropriate answer, you should do so. And how could you assume any spelling errors? Like you know how to spell. Meri, you're supposed to copy your answer from the text. Jessica is right. Give me your paper. See? Question 12. You only needed to copy the word from the text. How could I be so stupid? I didn't even see that. It's just that sometimes you don't get enough time during tests. Do you know how to skim and scan through a text to look for answers? I know you. Yes, I do. I've got a DVD of that. We can watch it together. This DVD won't start. It always has a problem. Sure, play it butter. Finally. You do not need to read the whole text intensively. You can just skim and scan through the text to find the answers. Ha? Listen, make sure that you read the instructions carefully. That's the golden rule. Read the instructions. Alright, I think I'll have to note a lot of this down. Don't you? That's a good idea. You should read the title and introduction of the text. It will give you an idea of what the text is about. Read the questions. Skim the text to see if you can find the answers to the questions. When you scan a text, you should not read every word. Aha, but you never find all the answers. All the answers appear in the text. The questions are usually asked in the same order as the paragraphs appear in the text. This means that you should look for the answers to the question. From the first to the last paragraph and not randomly. That really helps not to waste so much time looking for answers. Usually, but remember, not always. It seems you also have problems with the meaning of some of the words in the text. Yeah, sometimes what's too difficult to understand, then I'm really confused and just want to give up. Why don't you underline those words you don't know the meaning of? Especially if you need to know it in order to do the exercise, then consult your dictionary. That way you learn new words all the time. I suppose so, but you're not allowed to use dictionaries in the examination. No one will write in tests. You could try to infer the meaning from the context. What's unfair? To arrive at the most probable meaning of the word. Just read the sentence before the one the word appears in and the sentence after it. Try and guess what the word in this context means. Aha, I get it. I hope it is that easy. It won't be at the beginning, but you should get a hang of it later on. Yeah, I know that. You should also pay attention to mark allocation. If a question is worth three marks, it will require a longer answer than a question that is worth one mark. Yeah, I know that. Do you know the difference between various types of questions? Yeah, what questions and why questions. What question mean that you should name or explain something? Why questions mean you should give a reason. I see. My goodness, I still have a lot to know. One is never too old to learn something new. Not due to questions. Yup, make it pick and snappy. No Jesse, we should help her. No, I don't need help for now. We're here if you need more help. We really don't need your help Jesse. I now know how to do this. No problem Mary, I'll send him to finish my homework.  That easy. Don't forget a name marked out of the capital letter. Oops, I forgot. Never forget your grammar rules. They still do apply when answering comprehension questions. English has too many rules. For all the other subjects, you get them up whether the answers work correctly or not. I know, but that should not be the case. English is a language and we should follow the rules at least you don't have to study any content for English. That's so true. Hey, you can't say no when the question clearly stays true or false. But what's the difference between false and no? You're not following the instructions. Why is a... Please spell correctly. Huh? What? False, not place. Why don't you make use of the index finger when copying from the text? That's what I used to do. While in the Leni and Maddy carry on making corrections, can you make a list of important points to remember when completing a comprehension exercise? Read quickly, but carefully through the whole passage and questions. Read again, paying attention to the demands of questions asked. Pay attention to key words. Pick out relevant information that answers the question. Make sure you choose the most appropriate answer from those suggested. Understand the vocabulary and try to explain or replace specific words and phrases with your own. Consider the value of the question. What is it worth so that you know how much time to spend on it and how much detail to include? Underline the relevant sections that relate to the key words in the question. Put down the question number to guide you. Remember, korek spialing and grammatical accuracy are important. With multiple choice questions, carefully study the different options and choose the most appropriate one to answer through or false questions you should read the passage carefully, referring back to the passage to verify each statement given. Make sure you understand what the question wants you to do. You may be asked to quote, tick or encircle the correct answer or to use your own words. Also make sure you understand the vocabulary but do not waste time in the examination looking for difficult words. Be brief. Do not repeat the question as part of your answer. Okay, I think I'm done now. Cool. Great. Let me see.  Thanks for helping me in. You're welcome. Yeah, you too. Thanks sis. This concludes our first program in the series. Thank you for watching. Make sure not to miss program 2 which deals with contextual clues.
