there. If not, they have a good day. Thank you guys. Show and go. Rob's buying slander and buying that. It hasn't been too long, quite honestly, because I just because I'm such a believer in Cardano. I love Cardano. We have a stake pool, two stake pools, which are really underutilized. I think we're like a 30% saturation. So we really should should combine them but now and almost 100% uptime links in the description.  Not everybody. Maybe it's the most vocal people. And I was like, I know down all the time, VC backed and we took a look at it actually, all the different wallets. Who has the majority as far as whales and investors and retail. And it wasn't too awful. It wasn't too bad. There's some other ones that were worse polygon. So when I took a look at that, I'm like, that's not too bad. And it's has it's been having uptime late recently. And I'm not married to any one project. So we'll see how it goes. But yeah, probably head back to Puerto Rico next month. Matter of fact, got to go home. We just vacation here. I think everybody keeps asking that I don't know why. Jeff, do you live in Puerto Rico? Is that why? And that's it. And then Chris's do you take smiles sats off the app? I you know, I haven't checked that app in a long time. I have both of those I've sweat coin and smiles. I haven't even looked at it. Thanks for reminding me. Rob, I heard your background is fake pool. You heard correctly. Totally fake green screen. Usually I have some guys that fix it. But today they're not here. And yeah, sometimes you may see like plants move, or like the fan move around. It's just a video. So don't be don't think it's anything great. I live in my mom's basement. So let's see. Jerry solar wind. Jerry got my tangent wall today. Easy platform. If you don't, if you haven't seen tangent T, A and GM, it looks like a pretty good product and a heck of a lot easier to set up than any cold storage device I've ever seen. And everything is contained within the cards itself. You get three cards or two if you're cheap. But it's very inexpensive. I mean, it's compared to like ledger nano X, which you're looking at like, I don't know 149 159 these days. Tangent is like, I want to say 58 62 somewhere around there. And you get these cards, just like what you're used to a debit card or credit card. And then you just put it next to your phone and you can use their app to send and receive crypto. Very simple. And then there is no no mnemonic phrase. You have three, you have three cards, repeat sakes, if you lose, well, hopefully only lose two. And you realize it, then you can get the third one, you don't get out of it. But if you lose all three, sorry, but it's better than losing a scrap of paper with all your mnemonic phrases. Good luck with that. meme. I will see you soon meme. I have both Ada and soul just have a lot more Ada. Yeah, me too. Hello. Oz Krieg says, Do you think now is a good time to DCA in a Cardano? I don't think really. Here's the thing. If I understand, I don't think this is a great time to DCA into much of anything. I'm just doing it because I don't I'm not 100% sure what's going to happen. If you look at here, I'll show you. Let me pull this up. Now I can't pull that up. Where to go? All right. If you pull up charts macro yield curve. So yield curves, pretty much predict every recession so far. Pretty good too. It says yield curve is a plot of interest rate of bonds, treasury bonds, T bills of equal credit and different maturity dates. Essentially, you're giving money to the government so they can print more money. They're going to give you 5%. Actually, this is not what a yield curve should look like. See how it like in six months, it's like 5%, 5.52 and three months, that's pretty good. In two months, you can get 5%. Oh, you're beating the pants off of the S&P 500. This is what it's supposed to look like. It's supposed to look like that, or even like that. Because the longer it is, the more you get a whopping 2.76. But really, it's down. Usually, it should be, you know, one month is 1.1. That's pretty good actually. 1.27. That's what it should look like. But over time, during recessions, it flips. And then it un-inverts. It inverts the non-inverts. And then there's this, this thing called treasure yield spreads. I wish I get that S&P out of there. That doesn't matter. But you see right here, where the two and 10 flip, or the 10 and three month, it flips over and inverts, it goes down. And then it un-inverts over here. And every time that happens, there's a recession. It actually happens after it un-inverts. So it happened in the 90s. Here it happened again. 2000, the recession of 01. It happened again. And early 06, then we had our recession in 07. This one was kind of wonky, but it did happen in 2019. Then we had the pandemic and that caused a little one. But then there's this one. And you can see just how deep it inverts on this one. So I take a look at that. I take a look at some other factors and I think myself there's probably a recession coming. Well, is that going to affect the market? A great deal? I'm not for sure. So to answer your question, when people say, Rob, you're so bearish. Yes, I'm bearish because I think we're going to have a recession. There's going to be problems. I think we're going to see more of a decline in price action. But it won't matter in the long run, because recessions don't last forever. And you can see right here in the gray, look at how much time gap there is between. It's just a very small amount of time. And it's like the reset button. So when this stuff happens, I don't care. Actually, I'm I'll be honest with you guys, I'm kind of kind of rooting for some negative price action. I'm not rooting for a recession because it's lived through many of those.  But I'm rooting for it because like, just like we took a look at the DCA part where you saw all those different that price appreciation. It only happens when you can do that when you can dollar cost average in beforehand. The big difference is, is that when people dollar cost average, they think that's it. That's all they got to do. That's not it. At some point, you'd probably want to sell. And some people will say, Rob, I'll never sell because Bitcoin's going to be the World Reserve currency. And Michael Saylor told me so. Okay, look, I'm just going to tell you that Michael Saylor, I'm pretty sure he's not sitting on a nano ledger device only. Well, obviously, because it's in, it's in Coinbase. But I'm pretty sure he has other assets besides Coinbase. And I'm pretty sure that you should have those assets too. I think it's within your right to actually want to own your own house, own your car outright, rental property, if you really want it, some type of precious metals. I think there's other things that you can do. I know, you know, people will say, well, Bitcoin's the only thing you should have those same people that say that Bitcoin's the only thing you should have. I'm pretty sure they own other assets as well. So if that's what you want to do, you can do that. I just that's not for me. My goals aren't your goals. So to answer your question, long run, I'm pretty bullish just right now. And I don't think it's it's going to it's going to be negative, but I still keep buying. Camp says, how's your dog doing? By the way, I haven't seen a live stream for her for a while. She's a little under the weather, we'll say. So yeah, Adam, as I fully recovered from Luna liquidity liquidity hole. Yes. Adam's got some issues going on, but still seems like a good project. Yeah, that yield graph scares me too. I look at it quite a bit. Retro D says, Robbie, you reckon the whole Bitcoin ETF thing is planned out conspiracy style by Illuminati or just the coincidence that may happen just before they having to me, I got to be honest with you guys. Let's just say that that does come out and it in the Bitcoin ETF does get rejected. Do you know how far the price would drop? Need to do why? I have no idea. But I think it would drop a little bit initially, right? That would be a good day to probably pick some up. Maybe. And then you know that the last having in 2020 was at April. I think it was May. It was May. I think it was May 12th or May 13th 2020. We didn't see a lot of price appreciation a little bit, but not towards the end of the year, right? In 2020 and then 2021, we had a pretty nice, you know, within the first four months, April 2021, we were at all time highs. We were far exceeding those. So to me, like when we just took a look at, which was right here. Look at those dates. March 14th, March 15th, March 19th. I mean, if it does happen, well, great. One's I'm pretty sure the Bitcoin having. Oh, look at that. April 17th, 2024. So great. We got a month to do what we want to do or or let's say the opposite happens. Maybe in one of these days, in one of these deadlines, it gets approved. Maybe the first deadline gets improved. That would kind of suck, honestly, because then the price would go up and I don't think I have accumulated enough. But hey, whatever, I'm still going to win. We're still going to win. So who cares? That's just what I see. Do I think it's a conspiracy? I don't really care. I, I can't control events. The only I can control is how I react to those events. That's it. Love your consistency. Thanks. Try. Well, it's pretty easy. I'm the same person all the time. For the most part. Okay, I don't know about that one. Great. We'll show you all my assets. Me too. Sorry. Yeah, me too. Yeah, it's tough. Very tough. Delboy says, do you think near whatever again? It's all time. I gotta tell you, I remember when I remember in 2018, when three went to 100 bucks, people are like, it'll never hit 1000 again. It's just some goofy smart contract and TPS is kind of slow. And gosh, those, those fees were ridiculous. Who's going to want to use that? And then all of a sudden, you know, almost hit 5000 last one. So sure. Check out forever dog. Sure. Is there a way to hold avalanche on a hardwall? I believe, yeah, there is a way. I think you have to, but you have to go to their website Avax. And you have to, I think I have a video on this actually. Let's see. Let's find out if I do. Members home. How do I how do I use the metamask wall? Simple swap. How do I update the firmware on my favorite thumb? Crypto taxes. How do I stake theta? How do I stay Cardano? Here you go. How do I take an avalanche for passive income? Yes. So what you got to do is you got to go to their website or to the way that you stake it. I show you how to do it. And I give you the creature Avax, Avax pool, which is defunct now matter of fact. And you connect your ledger device. So yes. Do you think fennel bounced back when I just heard that Andre Crone came out and said that he never left phantom. So maybe it'll have a rebound. Oh, ergo. Yeah, Charles Haas had a great MA or Israel cones wait. I need to do some of made a recommendation that the second channel Dan Degen to go over there and talk about the Cardano ecosystem and how well it's doing. I think I will do that. Fun facts is Rob, how's the walking app stuff going? Well, I mean, it's going pretty good. I mean, the app itself works without a hitch. I'm just waiting for it to come to America so I can take those tokens. And that won't happen until September 12.  And then I get I bought a couple of things off there. Because of all I just kind of use my my steps and I've got one of those Thera guns and some kind of headphones. All I had to do was walk. All they really had to just have the app on my phone. Now imagine if I could use that same device, and then I can swap for crypto, which is what they're going to have when they roll it out to America, which I gotta tell you, it's kind of ballsy. To do that with the in the face of Gary Gensler, that says, Hey, Robbie, go and invest in gaming crypto. Yes. Yes, I am. We are starting up well, actually, everything's in motion. Crypto project is floppy bird. And we're bringing it mostly the revenue comes from Web two, but we'll bring it to Web three. It'll be fun. Just meeting with the VCs is pain. Michael says, any thoughts about eos? Well, the community turned things around. Man, I still have some eos because I can't get rid of it. For some reason got stuck in this wallet. And yeah, maybe. But the one to talk to is beardy. He knows more about that. But eos, man, I remember that's another another good lesson. Eos was supposed to be the next great Ethereum killer. And in 2017, you could not hear enough about it, about how because of all these air drops, it was going to to make marketing super simple. And it was going to bring mass adoption to crypto angel assets. It'll be awesome. And somebody made a million dollar bet to their colleague. It was a YouTuber at one point. So I'll bet you a million dollars. It'll be like number like the top five or have a certain amount of volume didn't even come close. And that guy had to fess up and get paid it. So yeah, good lesson. When you think things are going to do awesome, it does the exact opposite. When you think it's going to suck, it takes off. This is why I keep dollar cost averaging. Because even though I think a recession is coming, the data says it is. I've been wrong plenty of times. So I'm just going to say, well, I'll just dollar cost average. And if the recession doesn't come and it starts to take off like a rocket, and it actually happened in 2024, we have all time highs. Hey, I did my job. My job was to me and my family, make sure that I invest and not lose my cool. That was it. It's all I had to do. Sell when I got a little crude crazy. Tim says you can store Avax on a tandem. Very nice. Using travel. That's what I do too. My friends think I'm crazy or buying Bitcoin in my 60s. Guess what? Those same friends are going to be hounding you via text message or a phone call saying, Hey, I just saw that Bitcoin hit X amount in 2025 or 2024. Who knows? How do I get into that? Trust me, it happened to me in 2017. It happened to me again in 2021. I expected to happen the exact same thing. People I haven't talked to forever. All of a sudden, I'm not the crazy person who's been talking about crypto for all this time. I don't hate people. I think that's it. And then my job says, I think you're by the best kind of space. That's debatable, but I'll take it. Come collect them without bias and you will grill project managers occasionally, which is entertainment. Thanks. We had a Ken owing on from meld.  He's talking all these great things about meld, this D5 bank. And I'm like, great, great, great. And me and Ken are friends. I like Ken. Or the end I go, Ken, I don't trust you. I don't trust you because people have come on my show and lied right to my face. I can't trust you just because you know, we're friendly. Show me. And he goes, okay, he goes, well, and then we talked about it. And then this is on the show. And then he said, well, I'll have my CTO Pepe Blasco come in. And Pepe came in and he showed us how to look at the on chain analysis through three different sectors and take a look at what they're doing to prove that it is what they're saying. So there's that video. Actually, if you just type in digital asset news meld, it'll come up with the first or second one. Yes, thank you, mods. I appreciate you. Ken's a 10. Johns is hard for me to accept that a recession doesn't come. If it's delayed and the pressure even more likely, it is a weird thing though. I mean, if we take a look, this is it's an odd odd timing. The only thing we take can point to is the yield curve. But if you take a look at like the unemployment rate right now, and initial claims, initial initial claims have gone down. Unemployment has also gone down. And GDP has gone up. We just had a GDP released two days ago, let's say Saturday, Thursday, two or three days ago. And this is just the first, the first assessment went from 2.0 to 2.4 I think it was.  I don't know. Any thoughts on insane clown posse? I don't know. I don't listen now. Internet protocol. No, nothing. I think they're just a little bit too early, maybe. Ah, come on, come on. Do you have a promo code for that? I don't. I'm still waiting. I can't give a promo code because I can't recommend it right now because I haven't even reviewed it. So it's the thing with ledger. They their best mark, the best marketer for LAPAL and tangent and everything else was ledger. So because of what ledger did, it sold out everybody and I'm on a five week waiting list. I think I'm down to like one a week or so. So we'll see. Chase's all fake numbers. It's a good what exchange I've been on. You know, do you guys ever want to find where to buy a specific crypto? Just do this. Beko. And let's search for Meld. Oh, right. 460. It's up a whopping 3.6%. Fantastic. coingeko.com. And you scroll here and see it says Meld markets. You click on see all the trading pairs. It's not that many places. Bit true, maxi, bit true. Probably your best bet is uniswap.  So that's what that is. Yeah, only five places. Bit true, maxi. That's for everything. If you want to look at where I like, let's see. Let's let me think of a super biased coin that I like. Oh, again, so Kishi. Try that. Biased and it's down. Gensokishi. So again, quick swap Kraken out on Kraken. Wow. Ku coin. Boo. Quick swap decks. Bitpro. So yeah. If you want to find it, that's how you do it. All right. That shows creepy steel workers. They'll see how aggressive you recommend DC and Bitcoin until end of year. For me personally, I believe in the four year cycle. So I think this is the time. And if you guys have been on the on the channel for a while, you know that if you're going to invest here, if you're going to invest, the time to invest is the reset years for me. But again, this could all go to zero. You have to understand that is all could this could go away. All of it. There could be an EMP.  And we go to the Stone Age or all the central banks band together and they get in line with the governments. Because remember central banks are like the Federal Reserve is about as federal as federal Express. There's nothing federal about it. They're all central banks and not really connected. But they kind of are. But they can all get together and say, you know, we want to ban crypto totally. So this is all go away. Or I don't know. I don't know something could like there's a there's a crack in the code of Bitcoin and double spend comes about. Who knows? I don't know. But for me, the four year cycles, the four year cycles, excuse me, it's always the best to to invest in the reset years. So there's always a having in 2012 all time I dip reset to 2015. Having in 2016 2017. The reset year was great. 2018 was a brutal year to dollar cost average. And I did that. And I dollar cost average all the way down. And you would think I would learn my lesson. But guess what? I did not. I dollar cost average yet again in 2022. Like a genius, even though I'm on this show with this guy named Guy and Ben, they told me, you know, you probably shouldn't do that. I was like, nah, no workout. It might work out later. But right now, I think this would have been the best time.  But I'm like, you know, in the long run, it really won't matter. I think we'll hit another bull run. Like I'm not a one year person, more like a five year. You can you'll always underestimate or overestimate what you can do in a year, but you'll underestimate what you can do in five. And I just feel like this is the next natural progression. So for me, to answer your question, it's, it's game on for a dollar cost average. And I could be wrong. But in the long run, I think I'll be okay. All right. Yeah, rusty bots is Bitcoin, historically bottom on average 477 days prior to the having, which yeah, we're like nine months away. Are we not? August, September, October, November, December, nine months, nine months away. Tom's diner is Bitcoin a calculator risk depends on you ask. Some people say it's like throwing sand in the ocean when you're buying Bitcoin, because it's just going to go to zero. To me, I've been around since 2017, I've heard all of it. You know, in 2017, we thought the government would just ban it. That was we really thought that we really thought that the government would just come on and go, it's going to be banned. That's it. And then people would say, well, they can't stop it. Like, well, we think we think they can. And that didn't happen. And then of course, now we're going through regulations, a bunch of different bills that just got passed. One was a stable coin approval. One was the right thing was the representative warrenson. Warrenson, Williamson, warrenson, I forget his name. And he's the one that's passed the bill for for self custody. And of course, there's other bills that are coming through is to define what is a security or what is a commodity. So like these days, the only thing that that we're looking at as the next big thing would be the lack of liquidity and CBDCs. That's the next big item to conquer.  Let's see. Yeah. Sometimes I would like to do just like a super click baity video just get a ton of views. It's much, much easier. That's it. All right, buddy. So we're coming up an hour and it's got awful hot here. So that's it for today. So look, I talked a lot about different, different choices of different videos to watch, go watch those if you got time. But that's it for today. So thanks so much, everybody for stopping by. I do appreciate you. And I'll see you on the next one. Adios.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session first we shall discuss percent change mark ups and downs on commodities. In this session we shall learn the effect of percent change that is percent increase or percent decrease. If I say last year 2000 people came to the city museum and this year 3000 people came to visit city museum we can see that there is an increase in number of people visiting the museum. Then can we find by what percent there is an increase in number of people visiting the museum this year than last year. This is called percent change and this change can be increasing or decreasing. So we can say percent change is the ratio that compares change in quantity to the original amount. So we write percent change is equal to amount of change upon original amount when original amount increases then percent change is called percent increase so we can write percent increase as new amount minus original amount upon original amount also when original amount decreases then percent change is called percent decrease so we can write percent decrease original amount minus new amount whole divided by original amount. So we can say if amount of change is positive then there is increase in percent and if the amount of change is negative then there is decrease in percent. For example if we need to find out percent change from 10 miles to 13 miles Now here we see that the original amount increases so the percent change is increasing so we first find the amount of change which is equal to new amount minus original amount which is equal to 13 minus 10 that is 3 as we know percent increase is given by the formula new amount minus original amount whole divided by original amount and here we have the amount of change that is new amount minus original amount as 3 upon original amount which is equal to 10 so we have 3 by 10 which can be written as 0.3 and which can be written in the percentage form as 3 by 10 into 100 percent which is equal to 40 percent so we can say that there is 50 percent increase now we are going to discuss mark ups and downs suppose a shopkeeper got an item for 100 dollars now to make profit he increases the price and sells the item at 105 dollars so we can say that selling price is now 105 dollars increase is of 5 dollars and this increase is called markup we increase from what we store based to the selling price is called markup so we can say markup is equal to markup percentage of original price and selling price is equal to original price plus markup suppose a store pays 90 dollars for the skateboard and the markup is given as 20 percent then what will be the selling price as we know from above that markup is markup percentage of original price so here markup will be equal to 20 percent of 90 which is equal to 20 by 100 into 90 that is 2 into 9 which is equal to 18 so the selling price will be equal to original price plus markup which is equal to the original price is given as 90 dollars plus the markup is equal to 18 dollars so we get 108 dollars the selling price of the skateboard is equal to the sum of the original price and the markup now we are going to discuss markdown it is the discount given on an item and discount is a decrease in the original price of the item and we can write markdown or discount is equal to markdown percentage of original price and selling price will be equal to original price minus markdown now we shall study 2 methods of finding selling price when discount percent is given let us take an example an item originally priced at 55 dollars is marked 25 percent of what is the sale price here a discount of 25 percent is given so first we will find markdown and markdown 25 percent of the original price of 55 dollars so this is equal to 25 by 100 into 55 dollars which is equal to 55 upon 4 that is 13.75 dollars so we got the markdown price as 13.75 dollars and we know that sale price is equal to original price minus markdown here the original price is given as 55 dollars minus markdown price which is equal to 13.75 dollars so here we get the value of sale price as 55 minus 13.75 dollars that is 41.25 dollars thus the sale price is 41.25 dollars now we shall solve the same question using another method in the above question we are given the discount as 25 percent now we will find percentage of original price that is today we have 100 percent and discount is given by 25 percent so remaining is given by 100 percent minus 25 percent which is equal to 75 percent so we can say 25 percent discount is same as paying 75 percent of original price so sale price would be equal to 75 percent of original price and 75 percent of original price is equal to 75 upon 100 into 55 dollars which is equal to 55 into 3 that is 165 by 4 dollars which can be written as 41.25 dollars so these are the two methods of finding selling price when discount percentage is given now we shall study percent error and percent error is given by the formula that is approximate value minus exact value whole divided by exact value into 100 percent if we say a person thought 70 people would turn up to the concert but in fact 80 did here if we have to find the percent error we have the approximate value that is 70 minus exact value that is 80 upon exact value that is 80 into 100 percent which is equal to 70 minus 80 is minus of 10 upon 80 into 100 percent and this is equal to minus of 100 by 8 which is equal to minus of 12.5 percent so we can say that person was an error by minus of 12.5 percent this error is minus of 12.5 percent means there is decrease in what was approximated this means that person had underestimated the value and to avoid negative sign we can take absolute value of percent error this complete session hope you enjoyed this session


I'm going to trade it to another tip-nil chartit with me Patrick, we really want to see drawier attention to gold, obviously had a big breakdown, we've tested 1677 lows and we've since corrected high and we've come back in as this control area of the 1800 level, we've looked at what we're going to do with the supply coming to the market, so I'm watching the bearish reversal happens here to set short positions to retest these prior lows of 1677, if we get through there, look for 1648 as the corrective objective versus this one structure here, through 1648 we'll set up a move down to the 1552 which is the equality objective versus this one structure here and from there then we could see and we'll sustain them to the upside involved. As always trade, let's plan the trade, trade the plan and most importantly manage your interests, and so next time, thanks very much.


Hello dear friends, I am about to show you how to plant the Food Forest Starter Bundle, which is a bundle of about 30 of the easiest to grow most productive foods to grow here in Florida. This grouping of plants is ideal for planting the foundation of food forests and survival gardens. We're talking about serious abundance that you can create so you can truly break free from the grocery store and grow a lot of food. In this video I am going to show you how to plant your cuttings into pots, how to plant seeds into pots, how to then care for the plants while they're growing in the pots, and then lastly how to transplant them into your garden. Anybody can use this video as a guide to grow these plants, but we have created this video specifically for people using the Food Forest Starter Bundle and you can follow this guide exactly if you'd like to. Now some people make disclaimers. I would like to make a claimer and I've been inspired by Sam Thayer, one of my favorite poragers. I want to claim the knowledge that we're sharing, claim that I have grown a lot of food. I've grown all of the plants that we're talking about today, but I'm not an expert. I'm a plant lover. I'm super enthusiastic about this and I'm going to share my knowledge. By following this guide I want you to know that this is just one method. There's no right way, there's no wrong way. This is the experience that I have to share with you and this is my way of doing it that has grown a lot of food. I grew and foraged 100% of my food for a year in Orlando and these were staple foods for me. So, if I do share something and it's a little bit incorrect or there isn't a way that's potentially more effective, that's okay because I'm really gearing this for new people, for beginners and if you follow this you're going to get what you need to be successful. Some plants, sure, some things might not go perfectly because I didn't share things perfectly, but that's okay. You're going to make some mistakes, I'm going to make some mistakes, but I claim this information is coming through my experience and the experience of those that I trust and hold close to me. Alright, so let's go ahead and do some planting. Our method that we recommend is planting everything or almost everything into pots and then later transplanting them into the ground. So I'm going to go ahead and share with you how to plant cuttings into pots. Now the first thing that you're going to need to know in order to successfully plant from cuttings is what is a node? A node is the knob-like little scar or structure that you see on the plants and what we're doing is we want to make sure that we have two nodes that go above the soil and two nodes below the soil. So this plant right here, we have one, two nodes and so I'm going to make sure that when I plant this, at least two nodes are below the soil and at least two nodes are above the soil. A node is a very important place because a node is where the leaves or the buds or the branches or the roots come out of. And with the plants that we provide to you in this bundle, there are a minimum of four sets of nodes on each plant. If you have a plant that just has three nodes, you would put two nodes below and one node above. One thing that's important to do is you want to have the cuttings fit snugly into the soil. You don't want them to be like really loose, so I like to gently pad them in so that they are snugly into the soil. We've grouped the cuttings together into two different groups. One that you plant directly into soil, which is most of them, and two that you actually put into a jar of water to produce roots first. So every single one of them can be done directly into pots, but there are four of them in the bundle that are most likely to thrive if you do them in water. The four plants that you can do with this method is rosemary, sweet potato, the basil and the lemongrass. Of all four of them, the rosemary is the most important one to do this way. This one gives the highest chance of the success of these cuttings. To do this method is very simple. You simply place them into water, preferably unchlorinated water. Rainwater is ideal. And then you let them sit for a couple of weeks to establish roots. You can see the roots on this sweet potato that are not roots on this rosemary yet. What you do is you actually replace the water about every other day during that time. And once you have roots that are established, then you can plant these into pots to be transplanted later, or these could be planted into the ground. Generally, we would take these and we would then plant them into pots to be transplanted later. One additional note is for the trees with bark, you can lather some root hormone onto the bottom of the cutting, which you can use honey or aloe vera, for example, and these help to stimulate root growth. For the plants in our bundle, that would be applicable to the mulberry. But what we've done is we've chosen the easiest to grow plants from cuttings. So that is not something that you need to do. So each of these different seeds has a different planting depth. And the basic method is that you plant the seed twice the depth of the size of the seed. So first I'm going to plant the Ethiopian kale.  And I'm going to place a couple of seeds right there and then cover that right up.  And then the daikon radish, a little bit deeper than the Ethiopian kale. So I'm going to plant just like that and cover that up. Since I have all of these plants laid out here, I thought I would go ahead and introduce you to some of the young plants. That way you can identify them in case you have forgotten what they are. So I'm not going to show you all of them, but I'm going to show you a whole bunch of them. This first one is yuka. Here we have chaya. This is the sweet potato. Here we have titonia. This is the nopal cactus. Of course, rosemary. This is your Okinawa spinach with the purple leaves. And then here is the longevity spinach, similar but with green leaves. We have our toilet paper plant. Here we have pigeon pea. We have a smaller one here and then a larger pigeon pea here. We have Moringa. This is the Everglades tomato and this is the seminal pumpkin. There are six, seven seminal pumpkins in this little pot. This is papaya and there's a few papayas in this little seedling pot. In my right hand here we have sorrel or roselle and here is the cranberry hibiscus.  This is a plant that had Moringa that didn't grow but you can see a biden's alba plant in here. So those are just some to get to know some of the young plants. Now again we recommend planting everything in the pots of the cuttings and the seeds and the reason why is because you want to really nurture these plants to have the highest likeliness of success because you're getting a limited number of cuttings and seeds. If you have a lot of cuttings that you're working with and a lot of seeds that you're working with then you can directly put a lot of cuttings into the ground especially the hardiest ones like yucca and elderberry for example. And some of the many of the seeds they can be directly planted in the ground. They can be even just scattered out. Dicon radish for example and your amaranth or your Ethiopian kale. And so on the website if you want more details about which ones you can do directly into the ground for seeds and cuttings, which ones can be broadcasted, which ones are self seeding and are going to keep coming back, the website has the details for each of those. Now that you have your cuttings and seeds into the pots in the soil, let's talk a little bit about watering, how you care for them, how you get them to grow and nurture them. There's a basic rule of thumb that you can use here to keep things real simple and that's you want to keep the soil moist. The roots they want to stay in moist soil and there's a very simple method and that is you want the soil to be the consistency of a rung out sponge. So if you pinch the soil, first of all it stays together, it pinches into a ball. Also you'll see my hands, they have soil on them, they are dirty. That's a good sign. So I've got a ball here and then what I want to do is the pinch test. So what you want is not a stream of water to run out when you pinch it and not no water. The ideal scenario is about a drip or two. So let's see what comes out. No drip. So this is pretty well watered, I like how it's holding together, but this could have a little more water and you want to do this drip test a couple of minutes after you've watered, after it's had a chance to sink down so that you can see how it's holding the water. This plant on the other hand, I'm scooping the soil off the top, it does not form into a ball, it's dry. This plant could really use some water and you want to keep these pots moist so that the roots are nurtured and moist. So how to do that? With the cuttings, you're going to want to water every day for the first few weeks or so, probably every day for that whole first couple months as you have them in the pots and the seeds, you're going to water every day twice a day for the first few weeks until they are established, until they have an established root system. Then you can move to every, sorry, once a day and you can even maybe move to every other day but you want to keep the soil moist like that rung out sponge. One other note about watering is you want to water them gently. These are establishing plants, they're vulnerable, they need us to care for them. So you want to water in a way that doesn't disturb them and there's no exact rule of thumb for that but I'm holding three different plants. You can see the chaya, how sturdy this is, like this can handle a stronger spray. This one, the Okinawa spinach, also pretty sturdy, that can handle a strong spray. But these pigeon peas, you can see how easily they're knocked over, you want to water those more gently so they're not getting smashed down, you want the plants to be upright. And then this, which I just put in today, you just want to make sure you're not blasting it and knocking it over. So water them gently with the cone or whatever method on the hose or with your watering can that just fuses it so it's not a heavy blast. So I want to talk a little bit now about how to know when your plants are ready to be transplanted. And this is going to require some, you know, intuition, some getting to know the plant and learning more and more. There's not a set fast rule. And honestly in most things there's not an exact set fast rule. You really just need to start to feel in and the more experienced you get the more comfortable you'll get. But what you want to do is you want to look at the plant. There should be a good amount of plant growth. Definitely doesn't have to be this much. This rosemary is probably about six months old. So you can look at the plant and you want to have substantial plant growth. You want to see that the plant's been growing and that it is starting to fill out. So your plants are definitely not necessarily going to be this big but they're going to have some growth. The next thing you can do is you can take the plant and you can flip it upside down. You put your finger between the stem as to cradle it and give it that support.  And that might require a little bit of squeezing. And then you'll want there to be substantial root growth. The soil will be held together by root growth. And you actually want, in case you missed this earlier on, you do want to pack your plants in tight into the pot. With cuttings you want those to be really snugly in there, tight into the soil. But the roots will hold it together. This plant is absolutely ready to be transplanted. You won't necessarily have root growth this strong. This is pretty substantial. But you want it to stay together. You want it to stay together strong. As far as how long it's going to take, it really depends in the winter or the summer, different times of the year. But generally with most of these plants, I think they're going to spend a couple of months in the pot. So you have a couple of months once you've put them all in the pots before you're going to end up transplanting them. But for more details on that and some of the specific plants like sweet potato, go to the guide and for all of this stuff, these videos are more of a basic teaching and the guide go into the depth and cover the individual plants that have their own uniqueness. All right. So now I'm going to show you how to actually transplant your plants into the ground. And I'm going to teach you a very basic method that's applicable to most of these plants. But there are some that are a little different and that you would want to refer to the guide just to check with that. But most of them, this is the way that it works. So I have a few materials here. I have per plant about one gallon or even a couple gallons of soil or compost. I've got water and that's going to be for every gallon pot, at least a gallon of water, but ideally a few gallons of water. And then I've actually got some clay and this I'm brand new to and I'll show you a little bit about that as we're planting. So leave your plant in the pot up until you're ready to plant it. You want to have the roots exposed to the sunlight as little as possible and ideally you want to do this in the evening, not in the midday to reduce transplant shocking. So you've got your area that's already mulched because you've turned your yard into a mulch area already. And so what we're going to do is we're going to dig out this hole. And you can use a full size shovel, you're going to need that in some areas or you can just use a little trowel as well. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to remove about one gallon of soil, about the same amount as the pot. So now that the hole is dug out, what I'll do is I'll add about a gallon of soil into the hole about the same amount of soil as the pot size is what I'm doing. So I add that in and then what I do is I mix that in with the native soil. So I'm going to dig that in with a shovel and get that mixed around in there. So I'm amending the hole this way. Now this is just our method. There are many different methods to do it. I've done a lot of this.  So different styles. This is one that works, both of those are styles that I like. So now I have an amended hole. The next thing you want to do is you actually want to water in the hole. A lot of people will just transplant directly in here without watering, but it's great for the roots to actually already have it be moist. Also the soil can be hydrophobic. So you don't need to know the words, you just need to know the concepts, you don't have to remember all the vocabulary. So the soil can be hydrophobic, which means it's actually afraid of the water or it's repelling the water. And by watering it in first, you help to reduce that hydrophobia, don't know if that's the way you'd say it either. So I'm going to go ahead and add a good amount of water to this hole so that the plant has a nice wet home to start in. So now what you're going to do is you're going to take the plant and you're going to put it into the hole and you want it to be at native soil level, which means the soil of the potted plant is at the same level as the native soil, the ground basically. With plants that are done by cuttings, you can actually have them down into a depression, but with fruit trees, you want to make sure that they're not buried. If you're planting fruit trees, then refer to our fruit tree planting guide because those we plant differently and you can find those on the resource guide. So again, you've got this at the native soil level, not above, and one other note is you got to make sure that you've cleared the roots of the hole as well, just to prevent the competition and the crowding. So I've got it in at the native soil level, I've got it nice and watered deeply, I've got it amended some the way that I'm doing it, and now I'm going to go ahead and add this soil back in. And what I like to do is take this soil and you want to make sure that it's tightly packed. Some people will just make the hole the size of the plant and you can do that as well. I tend to dig the hole out and then fill it back in. And so what I'm doing is I'm filling it back in tightly, but then as I go I will also water. That allows me to fill it in and it also removes any air pockets because you do not want air pockets in there. Now I'm really taking my time with this and as you're getting started, it's good to take your time and as a beginner, be intentional about it, but eventually you'll get much more effective and efficient and the stronger the plant like yucca and chaya, those pretty quick with. Sometimes it's literally just sticking and sticking the ground. Some of the plants you want to be a little bit more gentle with. So I filled it in, the soil is now at the level of the pot and what I'm doing is I'm packing it in nice and tight, it's watered in, I've got nice moist soil and that plant is sturdily in there. Then I'm going to go ahead and finish watering it off. Then the key is you want to have some mulch covering the area, but generally what I do is I keep the mulch a good couple inches back from the plant so that it's not getting buried. And one of the ways to remember that is donut not volcano. Some people tend to especially with fruit trees mulch right up onto the plant, not something that I do, not something that I'd recommend, you actually have a donut around it, not a volcano. The other thing that I'll do besides planting into their individual holes where I'm digging each one into a hole is I'll have beds. And so what I'll do is I'll have my deep mulch, I'll make a trench in that mulch, I'll fill that with soil and then I'll do beds and I might do that for sweet potatoes or other annuals and with that you can just then plant directly into soil. That's kind of like a raised bed, but it's just an in mulch bed, a bed that's surrounded by mulch and you will basically follow a similar method with that, but you won't have to amend it because you're already planting into soil and you'll already have those beds made and again refer to the guide for different planting methods, I'm just showing you the most basic way to do it right here. So as you know this whole video series or at least part of it's here at Josh Jameson's and he's the one who just taught me about the clay and I don't know how I'd never thought about it, but he's adding clay which is going to retain the moisture and putting his finishing touch on it. Nice, that's a well planted rosemary. As I shared earlier we recommend planting your seeds into pots as you're getting started with the small amount of seeds that you have, but once you have the abundance then you can start direct seeding into the ground and for more information on direct seeding you can go to the guide. With about three cuttings of each plant you'll have what you need to get this food forest started, but there are three plants that we recommend early propagating from in order to start to create that abundance faster. That would be sweet potato, yucca and the perennial spinaches. So what we recommend from those is to let them get growing and established and then take cuttings from those earlier on so that you can start growing out your food forest if you'd like and we have more details in the guide of how you can do that. Now I want to share a little bit about what type of materials you need in order to be able to plant these seeds and cuttings into your pots so that you can have a really easy idea of what you need. So if you want to maximize the bundle, the seeds and the cuttings, then what you can expect is about 200 of these four inch pots and about 90 or so of these one gallon pots plus about 15 of these trays and you don't have to buy all of these. You'll often find them in abundance from other gardeners. You can volunteer with other gardeners, connect with other gardeners, put a post on Craigslist of saying what you're looking for. You could buy them but you can often find these resources for free. In fact, I don't recall ever buying them myself. We recommend planting most of the transplants directly into one gallon pots. The four inch pots can be pretty small for that but there are some that you can do the four inch pots for and for the seeds, a lot of what we recommend is either planting into four inch and then up planting them into the one gallons or some of them just planting directly into the one gallons. We have suggestions for exactly how to do that and we actually even have an exact guide that you can follow with the exact number of pots and how to plant them to basically just put all of this bundle into pots to get as much of it started at a time. Of course you can do whatever you want but we have created like a very simple outline that you can follow as a template and not have to do any real thinking about how many of this and how many of that and just follow that basic guide. Now as far as how much soil that you're going to need, if you're buying your soil in bulk from say a nursery or a landscaping supply, you're looking at between .2 and .6 cubic yards.  So .2 to .6 cubic yards is the amount you need, .6 being if you're going to plant almost the whole entire bundle. Now if you don't have access to that and you're buying your soil in bags, you want to buy the larger sized bags which are 50 quarts. So those are those big bags that you can get at the store and you're going to get between .3 and .9 of those depending on how much you're planting. And again, go to our website. On there we have a guide that shows exactly how many pots, small, big, how much soil, and a layout so that if you don't really want to do a lot of thinking but you want to just get everything into pots you can just follow that step by step exactly as we have it laid out there. So there you have it, that is how to plant out the food forest starter bundle. And again, as I've said numerous times, this is our recommended day away. We wanted to make it easy for you to follow and just give you a way to plug into. But there are other ways to do it. There's no right or wrong. This is the way that we recommend it. Now there's quite a few plants. There's about 30 plants in the bundle. That can be a lot. That could be overwhelming. Don't feel like you have to do all of them. You can share them with friends and give them away. The seeds can store for years. The cuttings you want to get in the ground, whether it's you planting them or giving them to friends. So if you are just getting started, we recommend just planting what you have in the bundle. There's no need to expand out from there. 30 plants is already quite a bit of diversity and what you need for a lot of abundance. And speaking of abundance, once you know what you're doing, once you've gotten your garden established, all of these plants can be propagated by yourself either from cuttings or from seed saving. So that way you can start propagating these, expanding out your garden, using these very same skills that you've used today and giving these cuttings and these seeds freely to others or making a small business of it to support yourself in your love for plants. So I hope this video has helped you to establish some confidence in getting these plants into your pots and into the ground and getting your food forest or your garden established so you can break free from the grocery store.


Runanubhanda means the physical memory that you carry within you. This can happen because of blood relationship. This can also happen due to sexual relationships, that body has a certain memory. It's not appropriate to say genetic memory. Runanubhanda is not like genetic factors being transmitted from parent to child, not on that level. There is a physical memory of remembering where you came from. Not necessarily in terms of tone of your skin, shape of your nose, how you're built, your race, not that. It is just that if you just as much as hold somebody's hand, you will develop runanubhanda. This is why in India if you come people will do like this. They don't want to do that. They will love you like this. And there are many things, they won't give certain substances. Nobody will give salt to you or will receive salt from you. If you try to give them salt you'll say, keep it here. They don't want to take it from your hands. The til or the sesame seeds, they won't take it from you. Certain types of soils, nobody will receive it from you. If you want to give soil to somebody, any kind of soil, there are rituals where soil is given. Always you keep it down, I'll pick it from there. Never take it from somebody's hands because you will develop runanubhanda. Because the culture is constantly conscious of not building bondage to keep the bondage of life to the minimal extent, only to the extent it's necessary because you're working towards your liberation. Because of that, these awareness and these sensitivities have come. So the body remembers any kind of intimacy, not only with another physical body, any kind of intimacy, even with any physical substance, it remembers. Certain types of substances are more capable of doing this, certain other types are less. So, for this we here in the temple, they're doing Kilesha Nashana. Have you been through it anybody? The fire, fire wash, that is if you're not getting cleaned with a regular shower, we're burning you out. So word Kilesha Nashana is a way of burning. Various types of physical memories that we have picked up, not necessarily because of relationships, just by contact, just by coming in touch with so many things. People, situations, atmospheres, so many things, this body picks up memory. Physical memory beyond a certain point that what you pick up will cause a certain level of confusion. Confusion, not here, this confusion is a different thing, that is something you have learnt. But physical confusion, if the body is confused, it can't come to ease. It is, many of you have noticed this, certain days your body seems to be confused. Have you noticed this?  So, we created various systems to cleanse. One thing is fire wash, air wash, really. Of course, the water wash every day, when you know when I was in my… a period of time, when I was into lot of sadhana, I would have somewhere between five to seven showers a day because your system becomes so sensitive, you sat on this cushion, now you're conscious what this cushion is doing to you. So, you want to wash, at least just water running over your body. Five to seven days, seven times a day. This is not like calculated, I must do it five times or seven times. Whenever you feel like it, most yogis have shower at least twice a day, minimum. Usually it's a dip in the river, just at least once you dip in flowing water so that you wash clean. And during the shift of southern hemisphere to northern hemisphere, which is right now and again from north to south in June-July, these times the winds are strong in tropical country or at least in India, in the Indian subcontinent, the winds are strong. So, there are simple processes where you must go and stand in the wind so that you get a wind wash, proper air wash. You will see it will do wonders to you. You try this, when there is a strong breeze, just wear something loose and just simply stand there for half an hour, being conscious of this with your eyes closed, both this way and from the back.   You don't know this probably. All the sanyasis, all the sadhus and sanyasis, always use very fine sieved mud, red earth to color their clothes. It's… it's… entire ashram is painted like this because it's just soil we used, okay?  So that's why that color, that's how it's come. So either you must wash separately or every time you must coat it with some soil material so that the runanubhanda, the only runanubhanda that you hold is with the earth, not with people around you, not with things around you, just with the planet. That is okay because if you wear clothes… because the word soil here is used differently, if you wear soiled clothes… No, no, not like that. Dipped in red earth, if you wear these clothes, in some way it is a reminder for the body as to where it comes from and where it'll go. So those who are on the spiritual path always use clothes which have been dipped in filtered red earth. You won't see it, it won't… it doesn't feel like it but actually the very color, actually the white clothes turn into mud color because it's been constantly washed with filtered earth. So washing runanubhanda is one way of doing it is you have a mud bath. So existentially when physical memory overlaps upon itself, it will cause a physical level of confusion which will bring a certain level of discomfort, lack of exuberance, lack of involvement with anything that you become a veteran when you're living. You must be a veteran of life after you're done with it.   That's what we're concerned about, that you're becoming less alive.


My name is Lynette Culverhouse. I'm a town meeting member in Precinct 11 and I live on Draper Avenue. I'm asking my fellow town meeting members to vote in favor of Article 46. This article asks for an addition to Section 8 of the zoning bylaw of a two-year moratorium on the demolition of capes and other small houses built before 1950. There are four main reasons to support this article. One is to preserve heirloom houses that represent an era of architectural history. By destroying capes, we are destroying our building history. We may not regret it today, but we will in 50 years' time. Two is to allow the town time to develop and implement a realistic plan to increase affordable housing while preserving some homes that are moderately affordable. Number three is to support the net-zero action plan whose goal is to guide the town of Arlington to a future where, by 2050, net emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases attributable to all sources in town are zero. Research clearly shows that the reuse and renovation of buildings has a lower embodied energy impact on the environment than new construction. And the fourth reason is to preserve material trees and green spaces which are carbon consuming. Every time a house is torn down, the green space surrounding it is destroyed, including material trees. We cannot afford to lose trees if we take our climate emergency seriously. The moratorium applies to residential structures built during or prior to 1950 and have a footprint of 1,000 square feet or less. This applies to 871 houses in Arlington. For this motion, footprint is defined as the area contained within the exterior building walls of the ground floor. This is an example of a very well-maintained cape that was sold to $600,000 in the Bishop area. That area of town is an area of capes. And this house was torn down and this is what replaced it. And this house sold for almost one and a half million dollars. This graph shows the comparative values of houses pre and post teardown. The blue bar represents the selling price of the house torn down. The green bar represents the selling price of the replacement home. As you can see, in almost every case, the price of the replacement home more than doubled. Here is some information that's relevant for Arlington. Moderately priced homes are bought out by developers before reaching the market. Approximately 24 single family houses are torn down each year and rebuilt. Approximately 22 family homes are being rebuilt as large duplexes or condominiums, thus depleting our rental stock. Here is what the research shows. Building reuse almost always yields fewer in our environmental impacts than new construction when comparing buildings of similar size and functionality. This is important because new house construction has a greater impact on the environment and the renovation of existing buildings. We can't afford to ignore the environmental impact of these teardowns. Savings from reuse are between four and 46% over new construction when comparing buildings with the same energy performance level. And the reuse of buildings with an average level of energy performance consistently offers immediate climate change impact reductions compared to more energy efficient new construction. What this means is that reusing and retrofitting existing buildings with an average level of energy performance almost always offers environmental savings over demolition and more energy efficient new construction. It can take 10 to 80 years to overcome the negative impacts created during the construction process. By tearing down houses and building new houses to replace them, we are contributing to the climate emergency, even if those new houses are built with greater energy efficiency. And materials matter, the quantity and type of materials used in a building renovation can reduce or even negate the benefits of reuse. We need to remember that older pre-war houses were better built using more natural materials. Neural construction uses more synthetic materials that have greater environmental consequences. In conclusion, while some housing in Arlington remains affordable to middle income households, newly constructing housing is not. Capes and older homes represent an era of architectural history. We are destroying our housing history by demolishing these homes. It is also well known that residents, businesses and tourists are drawn to communities that retain their distinctive character and heritage. Tearing down houses includes destroying mature trees and green spaces, which are our greatest asset at carbon consumption. The inevitable outcome of the climate crisis demands that we take bold action. And I ask you to vote in support of this motion. During the moratorium, in order to determine what actions, if any, might be taken to protect such houses, a study shall be carried out by a committee of five to seven residents appointed by the moderator, which shall include at least one town meeting member and one owner of one of such houses. The committee may call upon the Department of Planning and Community Development for information and technical or logical assistance. The committee shall report to town meeting the results of its work.


The Ministry of Health and Wellness continues our focused efforts to manage the current surge in COVID-19 cases being diagnosed in St. Lucia. The Ministry has used a mixed model of care. This has allowed for the management of mild cases to take place within communities. They have been monitored by a dedicated medical team overseeing cases being managed at home. This approach has been taken given that approximately 80% of people diagnosed with the virus experience fairly mild disease. As a result, a large number of our cases remain at home to isolate and receive care until they recover. However, in undertaking routine reviews of the national plan to manage the COVID-19 outbreak, which includes the treatment and care component, the Ministry of Health recognizes the need to adjust this model of care. There has recently been a large number of persons being managed in community. This combined with the inadequacy of the homes to give the required isolation as well as breaches has resulted in changes to the care of our confirmed cases. Home isolation is now being transitioned to state-based isolation facilities. Effectively immediately, this change now means that mild cases are being placed within hotel sites and the moderate to severe cases continue to be cared for within the National Respiratory Hospital. This allows for a greater degree of vigilance in the management of the milder COVID-19 cases given home isolation cannot be effectively conducted for some individuals who are in care. These changes have been made primarily to protect the health and safety of all, not only people diagnosed with the virus. It is expected that this new model will support the efforts to contain the virus and will allow for more focused care being delivered to all our patients as their period of infection is being managed. The Ministry of Health and Wellness would like to thank the public for their support and cooperation in observing this policy.


For sports news now, Nigerian players in Europe have a chance to make history with the various clubs with eight of them still in contention to win a title in different categories of the 2021-2022 European competitions. Samuel Choukoise leads the park with Spanish side Villarreal taking on Liverpool in the semi-finals of the biggest European club competition UEFA Champions League as he hopes to join the elite list of Nigerian players who have won the tournament. The 23-year-old is on course to win the Champions League as the season draws to a close, but force must fend off another big challenge from Liverpool. Trio, Philly, the George and Juan Cuocano and Obie Miquel are the only Nigerians who have had the luxury of lifting the trophy with Ajax and Chelsea respectively.
