I found 13 easy typing jobs that you can do online. And these aren't gonna just be the typical ones that you always hear like transcription or data entry.  And my team and I do a ton of research on each and every one of these videos. Usually we put over a hundred hours into each video. And if you appreciate all of our hard work to make sure we give you the best possible information, go ahead and gently tap that like button. And let's get started with number one on the list, which is going to be a remote intake specialist. And remote intake specialists work in a lot of different industries. And one of the most common ones is going to be healthcare. And what they would be doing in this situation is they'd be taking things like demographics, patient information, insurance details, medical histories, consent forms, financial records, insurance records, and recording all of it in order to facilitate the billing process. And so you'd either be talking to someone on the phone or in some cases you would be emailing back and forth with them and making sure that the company has all the proper information. And this is a job where you'd make about 41 to $65,000 a year. And that's pretty good considering it is an entry level job that typically does not require a college degree or previous experience. In some cases it may require certification or training, but typically the company themselves will offer that. Here are some opportunities, I'll put them up on the screen, you can pause the video and check those out if you'd like. And overall when it comes to typing jobs, I'm gonna give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a patient account representative. And you might be noticing a little bit of a trend here. There are a lot of medical related typing jobs that actually pay pretty well. They're also relatively easy to get into. And that's something that I talk about a lot on this channel. There's tons of super random niche medical careers that are really easy to get into. They're extremely stable and they pay relatively well. And basically what you're gonna be doing in this job is you are going to be an expert at medical billing. So you're gonna be paying attention to different patient accounts and make sure that the billing is set up and you're on the same page with the insurance company. So I'll go ahead and put up some opportunities on the screen. You can check them out if you'd like. And you're gonna be working directly with the patient to answer questions, resolve issues regarding billing and collection, communicate with the insurance company and inquire about claims. And in this role you'd make about 42 to $58,000 a year. And again, this is another one very easy to get into, does not require a college degree or previous experience usually. And it's relatively stable and it pays relatively well. So is this something you're gonna do for the rest of your life? Probably not, but there's also room for growth. You can move up to higher level positions that pay even better. And for the most part, the only skills you have to have to get started are typing and communication. So when it comes to typing jobs, I'm gonna give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be an appointment setter. So this is actually a really good career and it's called different things in different industries. So for instance, in the technology B2B industry, this is gonna be called a business development representative. But basically what you're doing is you're probably going to be working for a company that sells high ticket products and services. So these are products and services that are gonna be thousands of dollars at least. And you are gonna be finding and screening potential clients, right? So you're gonna be making sure that they are a potential client and they're actually a good lead. So things like making sure that they have enough money, making sure that they're actually a good fit for your product or service.  And this is the person who's responsible for actually negotiating the contract and closing it. Now there are many different types of appointment setters. Some of them actually do outbound like cold calling. And of course, that wouldn't be the option that I would go for in this video because these are typing jobs. But there's many different types of chat related appointment setters. So for instance, there's lots of different people who sell high ticket products on Instagram. And as an appointment setter, you might be the person who just takes inbound people who are trying to chat with the account, right? So maybe people have a question about the product or service and you answer those questions, you make sure that it's a good fit for them. And if it is, you send them to the closer. And I'll have some of them pop up on the screen right now so you can check them out. And appointment setters make about 45 to $70,000 a year. And a lot of the time they'll make a base pay and then they'll also get a percentage on top of every single person who ends up closing, right? So every single person who ends up actually buying the product, you will actually get a percentage of that. So in many cases, you actually do get commission. And this usually ranges from three to 8% of the total sales price. So overall, this one is really good. There's lots of opportunities for appointment setters over email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, et cetera. So when it comes to typing jobs, I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a caption editor. And this is basically where you're going to be listening to videos and then crafting text-based closed captions for the video. And this is going to be for people who are hearing impaired or people who just prefer to read instead of listen. And caption editors make 41 to $63,000 a year. So basically, you just have to be a good typer, right? You have to type relatively fast. You also have to have great grammar and attention to detail.  It is relatively mind-numbing work, but it is something where you can make some extra money. So I'll give it a six out of 10 opportunity score. Here are some opportunities. I'll put them up on the screen. Next is going to be a technical support advisor that helps people over email or chat. So you're going to be the person that a customer or in some cases even an employee is going to come to whenever they have some kind of technical support issue. And you can talk with people over chat or email in many cases to get it resolved. Now this is a super easy job to get into. And basically all you need to have is you need to be someone who's good with technology, right? You need to be a tech whiz. And there's a lot of people out there that have just been working with computers since they were kids. And so they're just automatically pretty good at technology. You don't need to have a college degree or previous experience or anything like that. Not even any certifications are necessary. Here is a good job opportunity. I'll put it up on the screen. And for this one, you can make about 36 to $53,000 a year. And one great thing about this is it's actually a gateway to a lot of other careers that are even better. So basically it's just a good idea to be able to get your foot in the door when it comes to the technology industry. Get any job you can even if it's a customer service job. And then there's going to be opportunities for you to level up and make more money because the tech industry has probably more opportunity than any other industry out there. And by the way, if you want to get into the technology industry, one of the easiest jobs that you can get that's also extremely high paying is going into tech sales. And this would be becoming a business development representative. And I've interviewed a bunch of people on this channel that have gotten into tech sales in very short periods of time. And some of them have even been able to make over 70, 80, 90 or $100,000 a year within their first year. And they've all done this through a company called Course Careers. And Course Careers has a free training that will tell you everything that you could possibly need to know about tech sales, which I'll put down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. So overall, this one is pretty good. I will go ahead and give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Next is a content moderator. And this is basically where you watch videos or you look at pictures that are posted on different social media platforms or search engines. And then you basically just see if they meet the community guidelines. And if they don't you'll basically delete the video and then you'll kind of type out why you deleted the video. And that's about it. It's pretty simple. In some cases, you may also be employed by some type of membership site or group. For instance, being a moderator of a Discord chat and it would be a very similar process in that case as well. Now here is where you can apply for some jobs. I'll put it up on the screen. You can pause the video and check it out if you'd like. And content moderators make about 46 to $81,000 a year. Now I will kind of put a disclaimer here. There's some types of content moderation jobs where you're gonna be forced to watch disturbing videos. And so you either want to avoid those types of content moderation jobs or just be wary and make sure you ask questions.  So overall, this one is okay. I'll give it an opportunity score of 6.5 out of 10. All right, so next I am gonna briefly cover transcription because it is one of the most common typing jobs. There's two websites that I think are pretty good and those are crowdsurf work and casting words. And I think everybody knows what this is. They listen to some type of audio and then they transcribe it into the written word. You have to have very good English and grammar skills. English, my, do you speak it? Yes. You have to be a fast typer and you have to have great attention to detail so you don't make mistakes. So I will put the exact link that you should go to up on the screen right now. Now again, I did a lot of research on this to make sure these websites are legit. On crowdsurf, you make 18 to $28 an hour. On casting words, you make 17 to $26 an hour. Okay, so these are much better than the average transcriptionist websites. There's been people who have kind of like tried some of the more common ones and they'll end up making like $5 an hour or $8 an hour or something like that. So yeah, this one is okay. Kind of like what I mentioned before, this is probably not something you want to do for the rest of your life. It is relatively boring and tedious and monotonous but it can be an option for people maybe for a few years. So I'll give it a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is a tax preparer. And this is basically someone who prepares the final details of taxes. So believe it or not, you don't have to be an accountant.  You do the busy work, the easy work that they don't have time to do because they're experts that are making sure that they are tax compliant and they're making sure that they're saving the customer as much money as possible. So here are some jobs. I'll put them up on the screen. You can check them out if you'd like. And in this position, you'd make 38 to $57,000 a year. So yeah, relatively easy job. Doesn't require much more than just being able to type and do basic math. I'll give this one an opportunity score of eight out of 10. Next, let's talk about another one that a lot of different people talk about. And that is going to be a junior data entry clerk. So I'll just go over this one really quickly because you probably heard of it a million times. You literally take data from point A and you put it into a different form in point B, right? So you might be taking data that you read from the internet and then putting it into an Excel sheet. So an example of this would be looking up a bunch of different tanning salons in a certain area, putting their information into an Excel sheet so it's easy for somebody else to go ahead and email them or call them. Now it is best to specialize if you're going to do this. So it's really good to be, for instance, a lead generation data entry specialist. And that requires a little bit of specialized skills but for the most part it's kind of common sense. You would basically figure out which ones of these companies would be good potential leads for the company that you're working for. And as much as they try to have AI automate this kind of thing, there's still tons and tons of opportunities for data entry clerks because at the end of the day, you have to have a human being that looks at the data and cleans it up. And data entry clerks make about $34 to $48,000 a year. And here is a job opportunity which I'll put up on the screen. So this is an okay one, probably not something you want to do for the rest of your life. Can be good for a few years though. I'll give it a seven out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be chat support. And this is basically customer support but you only do it through chat.  A lot of the time you have to wait, a lot of the time it's really annoying. You have to give your information three different times.   However, chat support in many cases can be a lot better especially if you're just trying to get a very simple question answered. And so more and more companies to keep their customers happy are starting to do chat support. And chat support agents make about 34 to $57,000 a year. So lots of opportunities here. I'll put some of the jobs up on the screen so you can check them out. And again, it's another one does not require a college degree or previous experience relatively easy to get into. Now the interesting thing here is there's these kind of hybrid roles now where they might be a chat support specialist but they're actually secretly kind of a sales person or kind of like an appointment setter, right? So certain people might come to them with technical issues and they're still like chat support. They're trying to solve their technical issues but they might also have another paid solution on top of that. So you see some of these kind of hybrid positions where it's kind of like appointment setter or slash sales person but it's called like a chat support specialist. And in those positions, you can make a lot more money and you're gonna be getting completely inbound leads as well. The overall, this one, I think a lot of people know about it. I'm gonna give it a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a remote research assistant. And this is basically where you're going to be assisting a researcher and you're gonna be doing this by researching data sources, documenting issues and creating engaging content for various projects. And research assistants make about 42 to $70,000 a year. Now, this is another one where you want to niche down and specialize. So you would not wanna be like a generalist research assistant. You would wanna be a research assistant in something that you're either really good at, really passionate about or something you can just make a lot of money from. And it all really depends on what you're after, right? What is your goal? And I'll have some of them pop up on the screen right now so you can check them out. But overall, this one doesn't require much more than just being able to type and research. And if you're somebody who's really good at finding answers to questions online, this could be a really good option for you. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one an eight out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, if you're enjoying this video and you think of somebody else who might also enjoy it, go ahead and share this video with them in order to help them out. Next is going to be a remote order processor. And basically what you're gonna be doing is you're gonna be working behind the scenes.  So this might be something like making sure that a large package gets to the right place at the right time and basically just making sure that the information that was entered is accurate. And they work in a variety of different industries such as retail, food service and manufacturing. And order processors make about 35 to $50,000 a year. Here are some opportunities. I'll put them up on the screen. You can pause the video and check those out if you'd like. So this is kind of like a data entry job but basically you have to get things in fast. So when an order is submitted you wanna make sure that it's actually completed and finalized as quickly as possible. And they focus more on speed rather than how much work you get done. So in many cases you might kind of be waiting for an order to be transmitted. So overall another pretty good one relatively closely related to data entry. I'm gonna give it a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is gonna be a document scanning or indexing specialist. And this is gonna be someone who scans documents, stores them, organizes them and makes sure that they're easily accessible to other people who are searching for them, right? So you'd be putting certain keywords that people might search if they're trying to find that document and you just be making sure that it's easily searchable in general. So when somebody is searching an archive of different documents, they're gonna be able to easily find it. And not only will they be able to easily find it but they'll also be able to find the piece of information that they're searching for inside of the document as well. So an example of this would be people who kind of index like newspaper articles. But there's lots of other examples of document indexing and document indexers make about 43 to $64,000 a year. Now this requires a little bit more than just kind of mindlessly typing things. You have to kind of think like, okay what are people going to type if they're searching for this? And that's why you see this one pays a little bit more than just data entry job or transcription jobs but it also involves a lot of quality control.  Or if for whatever reason it can't read somebody's handwriting you might have to go in and manually type that. And I'll have some of them pop up on the screen right now so you can check them out. But yeah, overall this one is pretty good. A lot of opportunity here. I'm gonna give it an eight out of 10 opportunity score. Now I did make another video that went semi viral about even more data entry jobs that you might enjoy. And you can check that out by clicking right here.


My name is Altamir Linhares. I'm the Program Manager for Remuneration Governance, Development and Integration. Remuneration is an important topic for the UPU members. It's a key source of revenue for developing countries, and it's also a very important input in the product development formulation for the posts. Remuneration is a topic which is present in all UPU Congresses. In 2018 we had the approval of a plan for further development of the remuneration. In 2019 we had the modernization of the small packets remuneration, a very important service in the e-commerce market, and for 2020 we're going to have a proposal for an integrated remuneration system. This will be the way to really modernize the system and address the best way possible our customer needs.


Thank you, so I think I'm live. Yes, you are hopefully cool. So let's start Yeah, I will talk about the ASP.net core health checks Today but first I Will quickly introduce myself. So my name is Jürgen Gutsch. I'm from southern Germany. I'm a Microsoft MVP for several years five years I think I'm blogging writing a Lot leading it on a user group since years and Speaking at several community events and meetups and I also started a stream on Twitch not regularly But from time to time I'm a software engineer at the U in Basel. So so I'm working Switzerland living in in southern Germany Hopefully the sound is good last time last year. This is the first 10 minutes were awful, it's it's going well this time So I have a quick agenda I need to quickly Close not close minimize Skype window. So I see two versions of the agenda currently so yeah, I will quickly quickly introduce ASP.net core health checks and Then I will show a basic implementation of the health health checks And there are also a lot of Checks in the community. So we'll have a quick look there and how to visualize the health of subsystems of an application and If there's some time left, I will show you quickly and enhance scenario So I built something with Docker containers to show how this could look like So all the sources I will show today are will be available on GitHub. So the repo already exists But I will push it afterwards So what's next exactly about the health checks? What are the health checks? So that's health checks are kind of on framework inside the ASP.net framework to check the health of Application subsystems, maybe databases or services, which are not inside the application or you can also check Your system you can check memory you can check Your space of your hard drive, whatever you want to check You can also handle the the health of your subsystems to get a feedback The checks give you the state of your subsystems and you can Handle them. You can show the states in your application And you can provide an endpoint to show the information about the health of your current application and of the subsystems of the current application so the namespace is Microsoft.extensions.diagnostics.healthchecks. You'll find all the stuff here and yeah a little bit of history So I'm was pretty much involved into health checks. So the development started at 2016 I think I'm not sure when exactly But during the MVP summit in 2016, Glenn Kondren asked me on via Twitter If there's anyone who want to attend the ASP.net hackathon and help him to write checks for the ASP.net health checks the first version I think it was a draft at the time So Damien said yes, I said yes, and we met Glenn Kondren and another nurse at the ASP.net hackathon and started hacking some checks Then it moved through some repositories until it makes it into the product. So it is in the product still ASP.net code 2.2. I think What can you do with health checks? You know, well, maybe you mentioned it It is monitoring the health of parts of your application or Yours or subsystems of your application image on a databases some web APIs, GRPC services, any other services or The environment of your application you can check memory performance drive space and so on and You can provide the health side of your application including the health of the subsystems You want to check so you get an endpoint that Tells you about the health of the whole system of the entire system. I think yeah, that's Almost about the theory. Why should you use the health checks? Yeah, you can handle unhealthy states in your application You can maybe provide information to the users That some of the subsystems or databases are not available currently You can keep your partially running in case of an unhealthy state of a subsystem maybe there's Yeah, a specific database not running and you can keep your Application partially running without these database for example or to you can tell the users about the unhealthy states and so on You can switch to alternative subsystems in case of an unhealthy state of this specific subsystem Maybe you have a different one and What I didn't mention here in the slide is you can provide an Endpoint, I think it's exactly same endpoint to The what is called Azure load balancer thing So you can connect your Azure environment to this endpoint and the load balancer can is able to to switch the applications Or the this switch between the instances of your application Okay, let's Show some code on this section. I will demo you a simple implementation of health checks So this is a kind of an agenda of this section Just created a speed on care a speed of net core MVC application using the net CLI I already did this then we will configure some Basic simple health checks without any logic in it We will implement a custom health check and we will use the health check service to to call the checks and to To visualize the states of the subsystems This is the basic configuration on the startup of your SP.net core application you can add the health check services in the configure service method and You need to provide the the end point I mentioned this is the end point now, which provides the state of your application including the subsystems So we say up use health checks So I think next is the demo exactly. I will switch to the console Hopefully the font size is okay. We can increase it a little bit And I'll open VS code and go to this startup and This is Common ASP.net core MVC application. I already added the health checks here The health check services and I added the endpoint. This is a little different than in the slides because in ASP.net core 3.0 we have the new endpoint routing and The middlewares which provides routes are now registered here with map Something map controller route or map health checks This is the endpoint. I mentioned so this is the basic configuration just to add health checks or just to Have the possibility to add health checks so Now I want to add a few health checks so this is a way to add Delegate-based or lambda-based health check pretty simple. This doesn't add us nothing here. It just outputs on healthy state So we can say add check Some overrides here You can do it in the delegate way or we can add a health check instance. We will see this later We can do it the generic way to add a health check type here or as well with the with the funk We get a health check result No, we return a result. That's that's so That's one. We can also return an unhealthy state some options Some things to return we can return healthy unhealthy or something in between degraded so we leave this and Have another quick sample which is more useful. I think it is a check to ping a subsystem. Okay, this one Starts a ping oops wrong keys here And did you know that you can press windows dot add emojis here? Yeah, what works? Okay We create a new ping. I Said send the ping to local host because it's currently it's hard to find the Service on Azure somewhere which responds to a ping. I think all the Azure services don't respond so I can't Ping.net conf.net also kind of ping my own block and so on so I need to find find a host to ping So if it's not a success date, then I will return unhealthy If this needs more than 100 milliseconds, I think yes Then it's degraded. It's pretty slow then And if it's all fine, I will return an healthy state So in case of errors, I will also return an unhealthy state. I think that's with the delegate Checks, but we can also create More yeah more complex checks Using classes So it's this one You can create an eye health check So I need to find the interface. It's not implemented correctly. So I need to get this one the cancellation token and Now it's implemented so it's Almost similar to the to the lambda expressions here So high in this so we will return a health check result and get a context and we get a cancellation token So this is more complex way We can check the state of something. So this is just an example. I set it to true So it's healthy and if it's if the subsystem is healthy or return a healthy state and Otherwise an unhealthy state So here this line you can put your checks whatever you want to check I Will show you a more useful sample later Okay So we need to add this Check use the generic way So I don't need to add a name next oops That's good being null. I think and here we need to add some text I have a different keyboard layout here. So now it's working. So it's switching between German and US American Layout, okay So this should work, but I This should work If I call the the endpoint, let's try it I press a fifth a five Also the language is switching between German and English Please tell me if something bad with the with a screen font size audio and so on Okay, this should work browser so Yeah, here it is. So it's running if I press a five I see something's going on here And the endpoint was It's unhealthy It's unhealthy the complete application is unhealthy because of this Here you will switch this to the healthy state to okay and restart it So this is the end point. Okay, you can extend the endpoint a little bit So I need to find the snippet for this Yeah, there's some Options we need to set and the configure and we can have these lines here Say predicate to true say response writer is the you I response writer to find the Using so this isn't there. Let's check the namespace options response right to remove this I Will show it in the next demo then Okay, that's about the one end point, but what about visualizing so to visualize the the health of your application I Can use their health check service and you can call all the checks on demand and Display result the results in your View So to do this Go to the home controller and Inject the health check service like this. This is already in the DI container so we can use it wherever we want and I'm going to add a new View also need to add the views here. So just copy the privacy and call it health and Put some code in it. Okay So we use the diagnostics health checks here our model is the health report and then we write out the The status of the model so the model is the health report We return this from the control action We can display the duration of all the checks and we can iterate through the checks and Display the state of all the checks we have Okay, let's Change this back to unhealthy return a better message And restart it. So I should be there. Yeah So we haven't Create a link for the health. I will do it so I think Did something wrong at the end point endpoint and the view Do have the same URL so we name this endpoint. No, I'm wrong. I did it wrong. So I Shouldn't have changed the the endpoint here. It should be enter home health exactly. So that's it So the state is unhealthy We need it five milliseconds seconds a millisecond So the foo is healthy. The bar is not healthy healthy And we have the ping here. We should have set the name and we have the sample health check So the ping is healthy We have a name here should be ping. We don't see it. Anyway, so It's working. We have the the health state of our subsystems here and We can also add an indicator To the page to see If the entire application is healthy or not so to do this Open the layout CSH TML dependence injection here So you can do a dependence injection in your view. I inject the health check service and I use it and a code block put it here So we await the check health async and With this we get the health health state. So I think this is a health state response or health result So we can see it here This is a health report Okay, we have the same in the layout and we can check the states here so as set a background color in case The state is unhealthy degraded or I don't set it in case it's all healthy So and I'm able to set it here and let's see what happens. I need to rebuild it. I think Yeah, so let's close this one No, that is red and unhelp and if you change this Let's say this is Take rated To rebuild it again, it should be orange them Or whatever set here Orange yes So and the healthy state doesn't have a background color. So it's white. Okay. Do we have any questions until yet? If not, I will continue with the slides Hey, you're there Let's have a quick look into What the community did? So what I expected after I Had another look into the health checks health checks Aposts playing around with the health checks for a year or so and it didn't had a look until this time this period and After I had another look I expected some health checks created by Microsoft, but there are almost no health checks The reason is that it's pretty simple to implement some and the other reason is that The community already created a lot of health checks. So if you see this slide Yeah, if you're interested go to this repository, that's but I saw burial I'll pronounce it right. He created the ASP.net core diagnostic health checks package packages On the right side you see a list of of nougat packages available. So you can check the system You can check networks. You could serve a MongoDB and so on Redis event store CQlite a lot of Azure stuff also I'm Amazon web services can't be check tank fire signal are and so on Kubernetes And I think the list will increase a lot. So this project is port from beat pulse and it also provides UI features So I'll Show you in the more enhanced demo So, please have a look also use some of these packages to check SQL server or SQLite and so on Also try to check SQLite, I think this doesn't work currently I need to check it again. Maybe I did something wrong Or if not, I will raise an issue here So it wasn't possible to connect to and SQLite Database inside a Docker container. That didn't work Okay So about the health check UI also into this project. They created a pretty nice health check UI so we can add it with With this service registration and with these Middlewares here and this also provides another endpoint Which is Specific for this UI And it also provides a health checks UI endpoint with a nice HTML UI. So let's have a look what I did for this demonstration, I created something like dummy weather statistics application and downloaded a lot of weather data from Washington State. I have Implemented four different weather stations pre-maton, Cedar Lake, Kent Monroe and a health monitoring app What's missing currently is where the data visualization app, but this is not important here, and it's all running on Docker So let's have a look. We'll close This one here and go to the console This one, OpenVS Coach So these are Six applications. This one doesn't count. It's not implemented yet Added a common library to share classes also shared the The DB context This is this is the health monitoring app and we have the four different weather stations here I'll go through You have core to connect to the SQLite database. So this is all wired together with Docker compose This is the Visualization app, the health visualization Export some ports. It depends on the four stations and also need to link the the Docker containers together There's this Docker networking stuff here and I created four different Docker files per Container one to run so So let's quickly look here This is the configure services of the of the check visualization app So I created the dummy foo Health check just to check whether it's working or not And I added a database context check. I Think this is the only health check provided by Microsoft the only Finished health check Then I added a check for URI so this is called you're a group. It's in the URI package You can set your eye you want to check give a name Like with the other ones you need to tag this or it makes sense to tag this Maybe to filter it later on so I created for ping checks and for data checks this one for checks only Check whether the services are available or not and the other one are really loading data and Check whether there's a result or not so I also added the health checks UI and I'll also set it to the To the To the apps here, so this is the health checks. This is what I wanted to show in the previous demo You need to define a different response writer and With it this you can enhance your own endpoint to add some more information. I will show it quickly And I need to add the health checks UI middleware So I don't want to start it here with VS code. I use the console and run docker Compose up It's all compiled It only needs to start so all the services are available So we see the name docker container here tennis here. This one is the monitoring App and the other ones are the stations so Let's call it It's not hdps And it's running. This one is just a single web API Application and this is our endpoint we extended so now we get a JSON result. We got this date here It's not a longer a simple text And we get a lot of more information So the duration we get all the entries these are all the checks we have The health checks I also provides an endpoint. This is almost the same but Needed for the for the UI So This is The Health checks you I provided by these guys by the community So and here we see all the all the Services that are running So these are running in the docker container This is in the also in a docker container, but in the in the visualization app And this is our dummy Just to check so what happens if we Kill one of these This with a little bit so here are the containers running so Little bit bad.  There you go. Yeah. No, it's killed. Thank you Yeah, almost almost done. It's just this last demo Okay, you can see now the the station in Kent was offline. It's offline and You see the checks are unhealthy. Okay So that's pretty much it I say thank you and hopefully you enjoyed it I really like seeing the the level of community interaction here with the health checks. You're right they're so simple to write and Already so many of these that really help with those other integrations and services that we want to know the health of Yeah, absolutely. There's a lot of implementations here a lot of documentation and from the community Yeah The user interface do it right. We saw the same thing with the folks who do swagger stuff to have health checks. You why? It's it's something every user administrator is going to need. Yeah, so absolutely. Yeah, I didn't know that was out there I'm I definitely need to make sure I add that to my applications going forward Yeah, great. All right. Thanks so much. You're good. Thanks a bunch here again. Thanks to you. Thanks for hosting Thanks for having me. All right, and we will see you next time Bye-bye


Guitar and Excel spreadsheet creation mapping the path to fretboard enlightenment part number seven Get ready and don't fret or get bored because using Excel to learn the fretboard is exciting Here we are in Excel if you don't have access to this workbook That's okay because we basically built this from a blank worksheet, but we started in a prior presentation So if you're starting with a blank worksheet, you may want to begin back there However, if you do have access to this workbook We got multiple tabs down below Including the example tab, which is the end result the finished product the answer key if you will Multiple starting point tabs which represent the starting points that line up to the different sections of video presentations as we work through the long practice problem and the blank tab where we started with a blank worksheet and Are continuing with the project at this point in time quick recap of what we have done thus far We started out thinking about the musical alphabet in letters a a sharp b c c sharp d D sharp e f f sharp g and then it starts and then g sharp and then it starts over again It's difficult to actually say the musical alphabet like with the music Alphabet song that we're all used to because the sharps and flats Messed it up, but note that you can number those by saying a is one a sharp is two b is three C is four c sharp 5d is six and so on and then it's really easy to say one two three four five six seven eight nine Ten eleven twelve twelve eleven ten nine eight seven six five four three two one Therefore we are making the argument that it's useful both for excel as for your own Memorization and progression with guitar or whatever theory you're looking at to assign a number To each of the notes which we're going to call an absolute number as opposed to relative Numbers that will then talk about we have to keep those separate in our mind. There's no getting around it It's going to get confusing no matter what so we're then going to combine those together so now we've got the number absolute number and Absolute letter Representing a note and then we took the relative numbers according to a scale using this is our keynote This is a four Representing a C so the C is usually the first scale people learn because it doesn't have any sharps and flats in it So we'll use that for if we name the four we use our pattern of whole whole half whole whole half Which in terms of numbers is two notes two notes one note two note two note two note and One note and we use that to build our C major Scale so we start with a C two notes away We go to a D two notes away to an E two notes away to an F to a G To an A to a B which happened to all have no sharps and flats Why because we use in the C scale if we change this of course to some other scale like Like I don't know a B Scale then we're gonna have a whole lot of sharps and flats that we have to deal with over here But from a number perspective, it's quite straightforward, right if I say oh 12 that's a G sharp That's a scary thing, but it's just a 12 It's just another note that happens to be a sharp or a flat given the nature of how we constructed the alphabet But we'll go back to a four because it has no sharps and flats and that's usually the starting point That we we use to build things and then we built our little worksheet over here Which helps us to then populate the the notes in our scale And it gives us then whether or not we're gonna have a major or minor chord that we build Off of each of these notes in the scale. So the first note in the scale is a C. I would call that Relative position one relative position one relative note one because it's not absolute note one We're not talking about an a note in other words. We're talking about a Relative position one of the C major scale, which is a C, right relative position two of the scale is a Absolute note of a D or six right at six or D absolute note six relative position two of The C major scale relative position three relative note three of the C major scale Is a note absolute note eight Unchanging note eight or an E relative position four is Note nine or F relative position five of the C major scale is note 11 or G relative position six of the C major scale is Note one or a and seven note three or B. It also tells us whether or not we're gonna build a major or minor Chord around it, which are generally thought of as the first three notes and So the the the lower case Letters show us that it's gonna be minor uppercase major and we can define that looking at the three here the three Interval tells us whether it's minor or major because the other two notes would be the same whether it be major or minor And so this interval represents the interval of the first Chord which is a major the third is for absolute notes away for my eight minus four is four the minors you could see Nine minus six or six to nine six seven eight nine is three notes away That's why it's a minor and so that gives this this little worksheet gives us a lot of information Now sometimes it's easier to see this if you represent things in a circle This is not going to be the circle of fifths, which is another really useful tool This is just gonna say I'm gonna put these notes in a circle And that will give me a different perspective on what is actually happening here when we populate this so to do that I'm gonna make a bunch of skinnies I'm gonna make these skinny from tea And I'm gonna go on over to BB over here tea to BB And then I'm gonna put my cursor in the cell and make them skinny All right, so they're skinny and now I'm going to start now This gets a little tricky because I'm gonna try to make a circle in Excel, which is not natural for Excel Excel is not a circular Creation tool usually But I'm gonna start here. This is gonna be the one we're gonna put at the top I'm gonna say this equals to the Greek letter of the one and Maybe I can center that I'll say let's center it and put some borders around it And then that is gonna be equal to the note and I'm gonna say the note is going to be the C here So that's That's our first note. Let's make this. I'll make it like a different.  This is gonna be the two Which is gonna be a minor? Number Greek number and that means it's gonna be the minor So we'll build a minor chord around it and I'm gonna say this is gonna be equal to the D or 6 or D And I'll copy my formatting home tab clipboard format painter here and then here clipboard Format painter there. So then I'm gonna say the next one. Let's put it down here. Let's put let's do this one first this is gonna be the the Greek 3 and This is gonna be the related Note which is an E there Let's copy the formatting up top home tab format painter and put that here and then we'll go boom boom right there Let's say this is gonna be equal to the four and Then we'll say the relative Note is an F Actually, let's put the relative note above it this time on top And so I'm gonna say the relative note is this F sharp and then let's copy this formatting Here and then I'll copy this formatting there and then over here. We've got the five and then up top or we're gonna put the relative note and Then I'll copy this format home tab clipboard format painter There and then we're gonna be on this side. We'll say this is gonna be equal to the Six and equal to the note Which is going to be 1a and then I'm gonna say let's copy the formatting of this one here and copy the formatting of this one there and then this is gonna be equal to The seven We're gonna say that will be the B Okay, so there it is and now I can copy these two and Format paint that here now. Why is this useful? Let's take it if you if you look at it this way You can kind of get an idea of how we're building our table on this side So in other words, you'll recall that what we did to build this table is we basically Repeated our scale multiple times So here's our scale C to C and then here it repeats again C to C and then C to C And then we just picked whatever note that we're on and counted up every other note to build the possible Chords that we might create so we've started if we start on a C We said two notes up is any two notes up on the scale is a G Notice, I'm looking at the scale not at the whole musical alphabet two notes up is a it's not really two notes up It's two relative notes up in the scale not on the whole musical alphabet But two notes up in the scale two notes up in the scale and then if I start on a D Then I do the same thing I just take that and go two notes up is the F two notes up is the a two notes up is the C See how we now to do that You kind of have to see it liner linearly, but it's repeating you can imagine a piano that just keeps on going Indefinitely, although the octaves will change so although the octaves are changing when we talk about What creates a chord you can have things and totally different octaves It might sound a little weird, but you can have things that the octaves are totally different And it would still technically be a C for example if you had a C E and G in it Whatever combination of C E and G you have even if the octaves are all way different in range You'd still call it a C right so you can also it's kind of easier to see though if you construct it this way You could say okay. Here's the C if I just go around the circle if that's my route Then I skip this note and I go to the E and that's what this one is right And then if I if I the next one if I build my chord I skip the next one and I go to this one right and then if I build my cord I skip the next one and I go to this one and then I go to the next one I skip this one go to this one notice what happens with the nine You actually already went around the loop and you're kind of starting over again So notice what's happening is you're kind of picking up the ones you didn't pick up before and Basically, you're still gonna end up picking up all the notes in the same the scale basically do you see what's happening because These are the notes in the scale and they're all legitimate notes to play basically and when we build a a When we build a a chord around it We usually don't want them too close together. They're already spaced out because if they're too close we get dissonance So we space them out. That's why we take every other note. So we're just gonna say all right one reason That's why every other note But if I keep doing that then if I get to here and I go every other note again now I've skipped the one and I'm now I'm over here I'm picking up the one that I skipped last time and it's now the nine. Why is it the nine? It's because we're just going around the circle and we went all the way around and now we're going around again Right, so now it was here's the one. Here's the three where we skip To here here's the five that we skipped to here and here's the seven We skipped to here and then here's the nine We skipped over here and we ended up on the two chord in In the scale the one that we skipped last time right and then if I go to the 11 we end up On the on the nine Which we skipped last time and then the 13th so you could see that we're basically here's all the notes in the scale C D E F G A B and we're picking up C E G B D F a right. It's just that we're when we build the scale we we we go every other every other note All right If we did the same thing with a D all that's happening is we're starting here now and we're taking every other note So then if I go to this one that's going to be represented here We skip a note if I go to this one then we went from here Skipping a note to here and then if we do this one we started We started At what did I start here and we skip the note to here and then if I go to this one We started here and we skip the note to here and then if I start here We go to here right we skip the note and then if I do the same thing all the way around if we're on an E Then we start here and then we're going to skip a note To go to G and so on Now if you look at the intervals between these remember that The the intervals will be different right and that's why we get this. So if I if I go back to my interval concept The the the interval between This one and this one even though i'm skipping every other note is going to be different. So if I look at my C We said the interval is actually four absolute notes away Meaning eight minus four is four absolute notes away but if I look at the difference between D and uh The the D and F. I'm still just skipping a note Right so we can call that a third But this time the distance is uh six to nine nine minus six six seven eight nine is three That's why it's a minor so that so we can define it in terms of absolute intervals Which we often do which are easier to see if you look at the numbers And we can also kind of just understand it from a position perspective as This is a major and this is a minor and you can just memorize the positions on your fretboard Of what the shape of a major and minor look like but it's quite useful to also be able to To number it because then you can you can easily find what you're looking for on the fretboard So so this gives you a nice visualization of How we create how we're creating This item and instead of having A linear progression that you're kind of thinking of In theory as though it goes on to infinity like this It keeps on like a keyboard that goes on to infinity and we can just repeat that circle We can think of it as a never-ending infinite circle because it's going around this way We're not looking at octaves. We're just having an infinite circle And we can just keep going around the circle as we create our Our notes that are going to be in Each of the chords now once we have that I can copy that same concept up top So i'm now i'm going to copy from here To here And then i'm going to say control c and i'm just going to copy that same Format up top and it picks up all the relative notes because all of this is geometrical Geometrically the same so I can see it in terms of just numbers If I want to for representing a c and so on and then if I wanted to look at other Other keys like a b The key of b is quite is often confusing to people because you have so many sharps and flats in it But there's nothing really theoretically different from it when you look at it in terms of numbers, right? Because if you look at it in terms of numbers Then you have this it's just another it's there's nothing special or different about it The intervals are the same If you look at it in terms of letters Wow, this looks this looks intimidating because of all the sharps and flats I've got to know well, what is do I call it a sharp or do I call it a flat blah blah? Is it how do I how do I Name this thing that i'm playing and if I look over here it looks intimidating But if I again if you looked at it just in terms of if you just numbered it Then it it shouldn't be inherently Intimidating I think the reason it's intimidating it was it is to me still is because The is because we learned because they made the musical alphabet With the c major in mind and then they plugged in these other notes Right that that now are sharps and flats depending on what you're going to call them Which has its uses again and there's that's not like That's a totally bad thing to do because of the different ways you can spell different notes is kind of neat and and useful But it also leads people to think like not play a Key of b because of all the sharps and flats and to try to explain what is happening gets a little bit Difficult so but but again if you learn the numbers it shouldn't be because it should be just as clean You know as anything else if you think about the notes in terms of just numbering them from 1 to 12


Okay folks, Larry Pesavento with the mid-afternoon update for TFNN. I wanted to bring this to your attention that we are actually up in the green on some of these things after being sharply lower last night. We had a very bad day, well not a bad day, a down day yesterday, S&P down about 70, Dow Jones down about 600, and NASDAQ down about 250. People have asked me why I don't speak more of the Dow Jones industrial futures or the Dow Jones industrial. The main reason folks, it's the fourth most important of the four stock indices, number one S&P, number two NASDAQ, number two Russell, number three NASDAQ, and number four is the Dow Jones. And the reason for the Dow Jones, it's less open interest for one thing, but it's basically a price weighted index, in other words it's the price of the stock in the Dow Jones that makes it work. You look at Goldman Sachs, United Health Care, and Travelers, and a few of these other that are in there, and Apple, and you're talking about 10 stocks out of 30 running the whole thing. It's bad enough with the NASDAQ, you got the NASDAQ 100, and that's only about 20 stocks. So by far the S&P, second is the Russell, and third of course is the NASDAQ and fourth would be the Dow Jones. That's the main reason for that, nothing personal about it at all. When they first started to do these stock indices back in 1982, I was on the floor, and the S&P was the only one they would get. The Standard and Poor's family would allow them to use their name and that, but the Dow Jones family was so against commodities, it didn't have anything to do with it. It wasn't until they became very popular at the board of trade with the NASDAQ, and then also with the CME, which was the first one, which was August 16th in 1982, then it became very, very popular, and now their household words just about everything. So that's what we're seeing here today, a lot of activity, get ready folks, I don't believe that we're looking for a crash, someone asked that, I don't see any sign of that. It may happen, but I've been surprised before, but I don't see any reason for it now, we're just having normal markets that are correcting, listening to what the Fed is saying. Remember folks, tomorrow the Fed is speaking, so there's going to be a lot of things going. Next day we have the GDP number coming out, so all that is going to be making the markets jump around. Nothing about any things with the war or any of this other stuff. I don't see anything like that in the air, in these charts. They look a little bearish right now, but they certainly don't look anything near looking at death's door at all, that's no question about it. We'll be right back,<PHONE_NUMBER>.


Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. Today, we are continuing on with our VGC Series 9 content, featuring a double horse team in Spectria and Glastria. We've got the nice supporting cast of Clefairy going to be one of the best supporting options that we've got access to in Series 9 with that friend guard, redirection, help and hand support, just a really awkward Pokemon to kind of deal with and play around as well. We've got Incineroar, obviously going to be a nice Pokemon for intimidating support, fake out support and really kind of allow the whole team to kind of function and help us pivot out in different board positions. We know what Incineroar does and why it's one of the best Pokemon in the format. We've got Taunt on it as well, which helps us shut down opposing threats and especially trick room, although we do have the Glastria that we've mentioned that does preferably like that trick room environment and then kind of ran enough with a nice Firewater Grass core with the Urshifu Rapid Strike variant in there.  And because we've got the Focus Session Urshifu and we've got the Assault Vest on Glastria, we're kind of tied for an item on what we play on the Cortana. Now going back to previous formats that we've had in past generations, going with the Skorplens variant with boosts, critical hit ratios and we've got substitute on their Cortana. So you know, the plan is not to really max it that much and just utilize that substitute to try and create room for us with the rest of the Pokemon that we've got in the field and then pick up, you know, like key critical hits when we can as we can with Cortana and just be disruptive. And one of the biggest threats to the team is going to be something like Tap of Finney, which is prominent in the format of the minute and Cortana can deal with it pretty easily as well as you know, things like a Rillaboom that are going to pop up as well. And particularly if we see Incinero coming in, which can be a little bit difficult for us to deal with, we do have the Oceanfield course with that critical hit ratio, but if we can get Cortana in a nice position behind the sub, it's not immediately threatened by these fire types like it normally would be. So we'll see how the team plays. We'll have a couple of games with that. As always, there is a poker paste down below in the description if you want to try it out on showdown or just take a look at the details, etc. And if you stick around till the end of the episode, we'll throw a rental up with the team. So without further ado, friends, let's get into our first match of today. Okay, up first we have in lowland Marowak, Jinx, Porygon to Tapu Finney, Galarian Art Kuno and Cortana. So quite an interesting team here. You've got fake out support from the Jinx, obviously a sleep threat there as well with the lovely kiss. And the trick room is going to be a big thing for my opponent. I think the main thing for my opponent's team, obviously with the fake out there, helping kind of set up from the Porygon to obviously the competitive as well from the Galarian Art Kuno. It's going to be difficult for us to kind of get spectra going here. But Glastria could do a decent job, of course. I wonder what the best kind of road for us to go down here is. Do we go spectra and kind of try and blow things up initially might not be a bad idea and have the horse in the back. The other option is obviously going with Cortana up top. I think Incineroar is always going to be a nice option just with the fake out support, the intimidate support as well. Got to watch out for that Galarian Art Kuno, but not too bad if we do see it lead against Spectria. I think we'll bring Glastria in the back and maybe Urshifu, maybe not as well. Clefairy could be a nice option. I think the Cortana we'll go with. We've got to be very careful around the Marouac, of course, with Cortana. But I think in the late game, it could probably do a job for us, especially against things like Tepufini and the Jinx that might be a little bit problematic otherwise. So, see how we get on this first one, a different archetype of team that we're going up against, obviously not something that you kind of come across every day, but always nice to see these different variants. Okay, we're seeing Jinx and the Marouac come up from my opponent. Does Jinx get ally switch? Does it? Makes me wonder. We can always fake out the Jinx and just nuke the Marouac. I can always be an option. Probably not a bad one to kind of start us off with at least. Do I max or do I just shadowball it though? Do I pull the trigger? Do I pull the trigger? This early on. Yeah, let's do it. Max Phantasm. Let's go for it. Fake out. They may fake out our Incineroar, but if they do, then they're going to take a big Max Phantasm from us for their troubles. And if they go for the ally switch here, at least we can kind of prevent it. At least from the Jinx's perspective, we know that a lot of Marouac gets it and pretty sure Jinx probably gets it as well. But are we going to see it? Oh, it's a P2 coming in, isn't it? Of course it is. Pulling the trigger baited in. Turn one with these threats. Not ideal. And we still got that ally switch threat going into a. Okay, well, services right teaches us a lesson. We do have taunt on Incineroar though. So we can potentially shut down the P2 in the trick room going into turn two.  Jinx goes for fake out, denying us our fake out, still got that sash attached to it, which isn't ideal. We don't affect the P2. The problem now is of course, um, actually we could max strike, max strike Incineroar, probably not going to be able to outspeed the Jinx. Is a lovely kiss going to hit though. That's the big thing. Let's go for it. Let's go for no, not into it. We don't want to go into the P2 again. We want to go max phantasm into the Jinx. We want to go for a taunt into that P2 and shut it down, prevent that trick from getting set up. We just got to dodge a lovely kiss, which I think we can. I think we can dodge one. I know you can be sashed. It is though. Of course it is. Go on. Dodge, dodge, dodge the kiss.   No way. Let's dodge it. Come on. Okay. Well, that's not so bad. That's not so bad, you know. I can, I can deal with that. I can cope with that. Um, can definitely cope with that. It's better than seeing the Incineroar go to sleep and allowing the Maruac some room to move. Uh, okay, okay, okay, okay. What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? A lovely kiss. We need to get rid of the Jinx, you know. We need to get rid of it. I think we flablet into that slot. Um, let's Max Quake into the P2 because it could switch into the the Maruac. Um, we are going to just stay asleep, aren't we? So we'll flablets. Oh, no switches. No switches coming out. It misses. Okay, so that's good. Shadow Ball. Not ideal. But we take it and we get rid of the the Jinx which is always useful. Now, we need to wake up this next turn because we need to be able to uh to get rid of the Maruac. We need to get rid of the Maruac. Very very quickly. All things will get out of hand and I worry about the Maruac going after the Incineroar this next turn. Because you get rid of the taunt user and then you're kind of free when the taunt wears off to set your trick room up, which is never ideal for us. Uh, okay. Come on, Spectria. You don't like snoozing. Our kiss was not good. Let's wake up and let's just nuke this Maruac. Um, there'll be parting shot out onto it as well. It might be worth going for a parting shot out onto it to be honest because then we could potentially get caught on her in. Set up a substitute and might create a bit of room for us or we get Glastria in uh either or uh it's the spectra going to sleep is not ideal and probably a shadow ball uh probably takes us down. I mean it's gonna be very close, right? From the P2. From that the the the the previous damage. I mean we should be able to take it on Maruac going for the big the big Dynamaxie. They're probably going after Incineroar like I said anyway. Um Max Quake and then going shadow ball into Spectra. So we need to wake up. We need to get the shadow ball off. We need to get the parting shot out and um we need to get Incineroar back on the field I think as well. Spectra wakes up. Come on. There we go. Shadow ball. Boom. That's what we would like to see. That's what we like to see. Come on. We'll get caught on her in now. We lose spectra. That's what we want. We want to lose spectra here. Go down. Go down. We need you to we needed you to go down because we need the Incineroar on the field because I think the taunt may wear off this next turn. Uh it may not as well. Um what do we get on the field? What do we get on the field? Uh do we get the cotton or do we get the glastria? I think what we'll do is we will get caught on her on the field because then we can double up into P2 with a hyper beam and a sacred sword and that should be enough because you've got to think the Mawak is going to go for Max God this next turn. If that taunt wears off, Max fans hasn't coming out. Okay, that's that's fine. We get Incineroar onto the field which is ideal. We get another uh intimidate onto it. We've got then the taunt active and fake out for at least another turn. So that's that's good. We've got the sub as well. So yeah, there is the taunt wearing off which isn't great but another interminator is going to be very useful for us. Um do we taunt or do we fake out here? Now we fake out. We fake out. We fake out. Fake out and we sub because they're going to go Max flare for sure and then we could even go flare but if the sun goes up we could even flare blitz sacred sword the next turn into the P2 because well Mawak's still a bit of an issue. Definitely a big issue. Always going to be a big issue. Mawak's scary Pokemon because Glastria will not be able to outspeed it although with their double intimidate onto it it makes it a bit more manageable for sure but we don't know what year they're withdrawing. They're not baiting. They're going to go after the Incineroar. Oh, they've got Katana coming out. Okay. That was the other option. You know we pot and shot here as well. You know, let's see. See what they do. Substitute. Substitute. Max flare in the Katana. Okay. Well, Incineroar in a decent spot now where I can go for the Katana. Is it sashed? I very much doubt it. Very much doubt it. We could go for another sub again. We would lose. Yeah, we'll go for the Katana and can we just detect? It's a bit risky. They have to double up into us if we go sub again. If not, they just get us. I think we sub again. Yeah, so we got a sub up. So, we either have Katana at the end or they sacred sword. Yeah, we should take this. Procaberry. We'll get rid of the Katana here which is ideal. That makes things a lot easier for us. Um, do they go after the Incineroar here? Potentially. Potentially. I think that makes more sense but if it if they do, that's the thing. We've still got the sub kind of intact. So, it's not the end of the world and they go max quick into Incineroar.  Mine is two though. Yeah, it is still enough but we've got Glastria to come in. Uh, with the sun up and a flablet, it's still pretty. Yeah, too. You know, we're not we're not in the best spot by any means because because we we're just not in the best spot at all. I mean, if they flablet us, there's a chance. There is a chance. Actually, what would we do? I think we I think we just we just high horsepower of the Mawak here because I've gotta be confident that we take yeah. Okay, I'm gonna have to be confident that we take a flablet in the sun. Minus two. Minus two. Gotta bear in mind that it is bearing. I don't know. I'm having second thoughts every second here whether we can do this. I do trust in Glastria. I'm just not massively or fair with like Mawak Kalks because I haven't played too many of them in this format. So, against like with these new Pokemon and that's just you know, it's not an excuse. It's just reality like I'm just admitting that I'm I need to do some Mawak Kalks and it for good reason as well. I think it's a good point because Mawak seems to be picking up a lot of popularity recently in the format. I'm just hoping this substitute attracts a bit more attention and my opponent wants to get rid of it now. They don't want to set the trick room up when when Katana's on the field. That's my big big thinking. Poltergeist. They double up. Okay, so we got it. Yeah, the substitute creating that much kind of distraction for my opponent and the fact that Glastria is probably feeling pretty threatened right now with the sun up even though I felt pretty confident with the fact that we probably take it on mines to the intimidate the pot and shot. It was enough. It was enough so we can close combat and we can go for a sacred sword and this substitute is kind of won us the game. So, I'm really pleased to see it doing some work here because it's it's maybe one of those sets where you look at and you think is it worth running but sometimes you know like like we explained at the start of the video if you're short on item choices and you really want that Pokemon in in your party to kind of utilize there's always other options to kind of look at you know you don't have to be kind of stuck with just that one one option as we see the Glastria kind of picking up the wind for us to kick us off today which is excellent. So, nice one for us to kick off with today. Very good game to my opponent. Didn't make it easy for us. Short us the ways with that Marowak as well how deadly it can be even without the trick room support there but we can jump into our next match of the episode. Okay, up next we have a Porygon 2, Reggie, Alecki, a Dragapult, Incineroar, Glastria and Urshifu team. So, pretty solid looking team. Not too heavy on the trick room but you've definitely got a trick room switch in there with the P2, the Glastria. So, it's something that we need to be mindful of throughout this match. Very fast defensive modes outside of that with the Reggie, Alecki, the Dragapult going to make it very difficult for us to to kind of function but this is where Clefairy can kind of come into its own and really cause a lot of issues for my opponent and make it difficult for my opponent to kind of go after things like Spectria if we do decide to go down that route. The other option is obviously Glastria. We could go Clefairy Glastria here. We just need to be careful around the Incineroar that we could potentially see from my opponent. I do feel like Urshifu could potentially be a decent Pokemon for us here. We've just got to manage it pretty well you know. You can't allow the to be in front of the Reggie, Alecki because that will cause us a few issues even though we do have the focus dash there but in the right kind of environment it can do some decent work especially if that is the the single strike Urshifu because we match up against that pretty well.  Is that going to be all right? Yeah it has to be because we're going to run out of time otherwise. It's a pretty solid team. It's going to be difficult for us to kind of approach. We know the threats where they're coming from obviously the Porygon 2. They're going to be the Trick Room threat here. Whether or not my opponent wants to go down that route I don't know. But the Dragapult always going to be an issue for us along with the Reggie Alecki because the Reggie Alecki can obviously support super well with things like Electro Web which we can't get around with the redirection from Club Fairy. Okay now we're going to see P2 and Incineroar pretty passively from my opponent but it matches up pretty well against what we've got. They can go Trick Room, turn one if they want to and they do a fake out so they can get around the Club Fairy redirection this turn. Do they go for that? I mean I could just help and hand Hyperbeamer Hyperbeamer but then we're locked into Trick Room it might not be the best best scenario for us. I could go help and hand Mud Shot. It's probably enough to get the Incineroar. It gives us a special defense boost as well. I think we go for that and try and remove the Incineroar. The biggest problem for us here would be either Shukka Berry or Assault Fest and the special defense boost is obviously going to be really useful for us the rest of this match then we still got Club Fairy to kind of help us out and stall out these Trick Room turns. Especially if we can get the Incineroar here that's the big thing. I'm pretty confident we should be able to the help and hand boost. The other issue would be obviously if the Incineroar decides to go Dynamics and then things would get even trickier for us because we probably lose probably lose Spectre and that and that scenario and that probably loses us the game. Right help and hand coming out bake out yep that's fine you know the Incineroar is not really causing us any threat here and we'll probably save Trick Room from the P2 but we do get the Incineroar which is huge for us. Now it's a bit of a double-edged sword this because we get the Grim near boost which is amazing get rid of the Incineroar big threat to us we get special attack boost obviously we've just mentioned but the problem is if the Trick Room goes up here we do then allow my opponent to get in whatever they want in a Trick Room environment. Ooh, eerie impulse. It could be worse it could be worse. No Trick Room there though that's that's good good start okay or only minus one because of the Grim near boost so it's not the worst we are special defense boost as well as that Grim near boost which definitely helps us out but eerie impulse gonna make it difficult for us to kind of build momentum here with with Spectre like you'd normally be able to do okay Spectre coming in is it worth is it worth just getting damage onto the field now with like a max phantasm into that slot switching Clefairy out to Incineral just to get the Intimidate and then we got the option to potting shot the next turn because it's likely they go after the Clefairy because you kind of want to remove the redirection as soon as possible and the big thing that you would think would come into that slot if they've got it would be um a Steel type attack like Heavy Slam um which Incineral be able to take pretty comfortably the other option is obviously uh the biggest attack that they've probably got access to and that is going to be something like um max hail storm which we don't mind too much but the Intimidate is going to be so pivotal here and we kind of want to try and cycle out these Intimidates in and out in and out in and out and prevent any sort of chilling there boosts max phantasm coming out not going to do a great deal of damage because of that minus one that we're now on but the the fence boost definitely going to help us out especially if a trick room doesn't go up here because then the Glastria becomes a little bit more prone susceptible to a flare blitz the next turn max quake coming out not ideal not ideal in the slightest but better that spectra is not taking damage because the big thing is we can switch spectra out if we want at any point you know we can bring in something like okay the trick room going up like we could bring in Clefairy here for spectra um or we could just max guard which might be a better play what do we do do bring in Clefairy actually I think what we'll try and do is just go up there and we'll bring in Clefairy we'll try and get a max phantasm off and we'll try and cycle at least one more intimidate onto this onto this Glastria we're probably going to see another area impulse come up from the p2 but at this point you know it's more about just lowering that the fence so when urshifu comes in the p2 is going to be easy to pick up and the Glastria is going to be easy to pick up and we've just got to kind of try and utilize Clefairy incineroar to the best of our ability going forward here and hope that this turn I mean we're going to see a max quick I think into the incineroar slot it prevents if you do that you prevent the potting shot you get rid oh max knuckle that works that works I mean this the thing is we're just trying to to stall out these trick room turns while trying to get some sort of benefit out of our max turns as well try attack coming out no e reimpulse which is always useful double an up into the Clefairy slot fine by me okay and another defense drop which is useful okay so spectra is still in a pretty healthy position and we've got the option this next turn to actually just go follow me and willowisp which would completely shut the Glastria down and make it not a threat at all and I think I'm kind of tempted I'm really I am tempted I'm going to do that I'm going to do it I think we need to take the opportunity to do what we can because the burn on to it is just going to make it so much easier to deal with you're going to remember that the p2 is minus two defense now so fish a few comes in and it can get a close combat off into that slot then it's it's kind of game over really for it the same can be said almost with the the Glastria which will be able to probably pick up the knockout onto the Clefairy this turn to see another max quick yeah I mean that's fine and if we see I don't suppose we'll see a try attack here it makes you well the the p2 cannot attack the Spectria so that's something that we you know they can lower attack as much as they want but they can't damage us chilling near boost yeah try attack and then we get willowisp which is ideal okay perfect and then we can bring Incinero back in now and then we probably want to switch Spectria for Urshifu I think I think that probably makes more sense although it's risky because we don't really want to break the Sash unintentionally unintentionally that's the thing but we do have access to this fake out now which is which is huge for us so it does allow us a little bit of room because the p2 can't really attack into the Spectria which makes it a little bit easier to manage you know what I mean because you're not going to try attack into the Urshifu which does almost give us that kind of free switching and how many turns of trick room we got left this is the last turn potentially I think this is the last turn should have checked but I'm pretty pretty sure pretty sure we'll soon find out it'd be nice in between these screens you know when you're on this screen if you could just check the status this trick room still in play is the terrain still in play because it's not like you can affect anything but it'd be nice to look at like field conditions this is something that they could add in something I've always thought about you know once you've locked your moves you can't even go into to look and you know it's it's pretty awkward because you have to wait till the turn then to see what the situation is and that's fine and all but you only have so long per turn to do that get the fake out into the Glastria and then the flinch there and the try attack it's going to be into Incineroa yeah which we actually managed to survive which is perfect okay so we're in a great position now if the trick room does end we're in a fantastic position which it doesn't unfortunately so we can I think just protect here I think we can try we can try and taunt the P2 I think that's not a bad play just protect taunt we could have switched into Spectra here as well which probably would have been not a bad idea because then we get the Intimidate cycle once again we get the fake out once again but I feel like once you know once the trick rooms ended the P2 either has to switch out which a taunt will help forces switch out which will make room for us to deal with this Glastria a little bit easier or the Spectra can come in and just cause havoc because it's such a fast pokemon yeah it's a P2 going out okay ah it's an ocean view okay well could be worse it could be worse we survive with with 3 HP and get the taunt which means it's not too bad it's not too bad it's not too bad okay well I think what we'll do because we can burn the ocean view I think what we'll do is let's just check let's just check this ocean view I know I should know I know I know it is the water fighting type okay well that means Spectra has got a way better match up against it we just go surgeon strikes into the opposing Glastria and we'll go for a we'll go for a potting shot as well try and get one we're not going to get it with with Incinero but then we get the free switch into Spectra which is which is better you know and then we always have the option to go for something like Hyperbeam and cross combat all Hyperbeam surgeon strikes into the opposing ocean view it's not going to be like straightforward locking this up but we should be okay we'll be able to get rid of this Glastria before it becomes a bit of an issue and then my opponent tries to go after our ocean view we at least we get the potting shot and then we've got Intimidate on top of that which will help but I think they'll go after the the Incinero here no okay and they definitely got the sash okay well let's just get a little bit more tricky of course with everything so low all right well because surgeon strikes probably gets Spectria but do you go that way do you go after it this turn because we could potentially Aquajet the opposing ocean view whereas they're going to Aquajet us yeah they're going to Aquajet us and we can't protect which is really annoying um okay let's switch to Incinero and let's go Shadow Ball I don't suspect Shadow Ball but it might be enough you know it will be enough to take it down with sash actually the close combat drop we'll make it we'll make it so that we can get it and then in Aquajet we'll get it the next turn and then just leave Spectria versus P2 which I don't know if there's going to be a way to do it past that point okay there's the Aquajet yep the best case scenario is going to be being able to see no sash here of course there's a sash okay and then we're going to need to win the speed type but maybe not it's a trick we're going to not ideal not ideal not ideal okay and now we've got Urshifu we've got Urshifu left okay this is going to come down to the wire now I would have said like the Aquajet would have done the job there but then reversing the trick and probably means that Urshifu faster than ours which is not ideal I mean we have to go for the Aquajet anyway and we have to go for the Shadow Ball oh do we do we though do we do that do we protect because they're probably going to go after Spectria now but yeah we have to Aquajet we have to we have to and Shadow Ball is probably not the best play I think like Mudshot might be a better better idea potentially we get the Aquajet off yeah and at least you know they if they go after Urshifu are they gonna e-re-impulse here though that's the thing the speed tie try attack they're going after Urshifu so at least we get a free Mudshot off and now they're gonna they're gonna e-re-impulse us to Oblivion we get the Mudshot which is great do we get oh there's Speed Falls which is not ideal okay we have to go we've got no protect they've got no way to damage us though so we can Willa Wisp them we're gonna end up I think yeah we're gonna need a Crit Hyper Beam Crit Hyper Beam to do this yeah we'll probably end up like losing to our own recoil here I think oh there's even a Crit Hyper Beam would be enough I think a Crit Hyper Beam would be enough it would be enough but I don't know if it's gonna be can we we can pray to the we can pray to the Hax gods right now and say come on come on just do do it do one for us right now that would that would be that would be all we want big Spectra just wants this Hyper Beam come on Crit Crit Crit Crit oh that's anything but a Crit terrible and they're just gonna recover off the damage are they yeah they're gonna like I mean they've got no option here so at this point the video drags a little bit so I'm just gonna speed this up as we try and pray to the RNG gods for that Critical Hit Hyper Beam and we'll just see how it unfold so I'm just gonna leave you with some music in theme of our praise to try and get this Critical Hit to close this one out I think we're gracefully just I mean I could stall it out but no none of you none of you want to sit here for two minutes and see this out so I'm gonna just forfeit gracefully and say a very good game to my opponent we're both in an awkward position we're both gonna play it out to the end grit our teeth but I'm gonna say good game and we're gonna wrap up this episode but the team has been you know the team we not got the second win there today but it doesn't always doesn't always happen I feel like the team did really well in that last game so there's probably a couple of places where we maybe could have played it a little bit different but it was against a very difficult team so you know you can't always and we didn't get beat out right either you know came down right down to the wire so very good game to my opponent we'll hop over now and get you all the rental team for today's squad here is today's rental card team and if you try it out as always do let me know down in the comment section but the end of it I hope you enjoy it and have a lot of fun with it if you do try it out I think there's a lot of different ideas in the team and they're quite nice ones that work together and make it quite cohesive both obviously the Spectre and Glastria very very strong options in this format and both can perform very well under the right circumstances the Cortana as you can see there with that odd set of leaf blade sacred sword substitute and detect it is a little bit different with the scope lens there boosting critical hit ratios like I say it's a it's a real draw from influence from previous generations and I still think it does work quite well in this format and certain situations we did see that in one game today where it was was phenomenal so if you do try it out I hope you enjoy it but thank you so much as always for tuning in I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the team hope you've enjoyed today's episode and we'll be back very soon friends with another episode and more VGC series 9 content so until then take care of yourselves and I'll see you all for the next episode until then take care bye bye


Electromagnetic EM pollution is a major concern for electronic devices and biological systems. Therefore, novel materials with EM absorption properties can solve this problem. Porous carbon, PC, materials are promising EM absorbers due to their ultra-low density, large surface area, and excellent dielectric loss ability. However, the large-scale production of PC materials through simple synthetic root is not feasible. Here, we introduce a biomass-derived EM absorber material with a promising performance and low-cost production process. The EM absorption is mainly influenced by the structure, such as hierarchical texture, periodic pattern, and some unique nanoarchitecture. The synthetic process is based on the optimization of structure and designing composition, which can lead to versatile and low-cost materials with a wide application.

One, two, three, four, five and sixth and final time. After six we've got the Denver Nuggets all the way down to the Dallas Mavericks. On the bottom, Shira, the Hawks are down there too EA. There you go. All right. So Josh with the Nuggets, Magic and Rockets, Derrick with the Knicks, Josh with the Bulls, Guy with the Warriors, Josh with my Lakers, Derrick with the Raptors, Josh with the Trio Blazers, Charles with the Hornets, Josh with the Pistons and Kings, Rocky with the Grizz, EA with the Jazz, Derrick with the Heat, Josh with the T-Wolves, Matthew with the Spurs, Derrick with the Suns, Josh with the Celtics and Clippers, Guy with the Bucks, Rocky with the Cavs, Josh with the Sixers and Pacers, Charles with the Pelicans, Thunder for Josh, James with the Nets, Jimmy also has the Wizards, EA with the Hawks and Matthew, Shira with the Mavs. There you go, 2018-19 edition, let's sort by column B and we're going to pause the video really quick and when we come back we're going to see if there's any trades and then we'll have the break, stick around. All right, welcome back folks. No trades, so the list remains the same right there. On Tuesday the 18th, Five Box Blaster, Random Team 3, there you go, we got Houston leading the Thunder 69-55, so they're cruising with the third quarter just starting. There's all the 18-19 blasters right here. Upset today, the Magic beat the Bucks today, which was a surprise. We're talking a little bit about the poor Zing, it's getting booted early, getting run in that game, which I thought was, I didn't think was second tech worthy, but David Downer saying he pushed him, Joe, deserved it, wasn't that serious until he got involved. He's such a key player though, I don't know, I can't help but thinking, man, should the refs be that involved? I mean, I don't know, but yeah, maybe you did deserve that second tech. It's Rande Hall as Jefferson Hollow, nice Trey Young rated rookie, no parallel, but base, but still nice, EA on the Hawks. I like the Hawks team a lot, I think they, at least to my expectations, I thought they were going to have a much better season, but I think they've got an excellent core. All right, next box, yeah, Nikola Jokic was drafted late, he was a diamond in the rough, that's for sure. Yeah, they did a really good job with Optics Seasheps, Seasheps saying, man, Optics is such a good, love it, such a great product regardless of the sport. Yeah, it looks great in basketball, football looks great, baseball looks great. They're the most come back ones this year, 70s. Do they really? I didn't realize that, I was like, oh, they're getting smoked, but maybe they're just a second half team. All right, it's so amazing though, right, plus the 6% chance to make the playoffs up to you, Trey, Paul, George, Adam, and so on. I didn't realize that, that's a lot of comebacks, yeah, I mean, I don't know, Houston can switch off, they can get cold really fast too. There's Troy Brown Jr., Rated Rookie Hollow, Jimmy. This guy was doing okay, I don't know what his hollows are going for, but for Rated Rookies, you definitely want the hollow versions. Maybe you put this in a drawer somewhere, I mean, that team could be really good next year. Think about it, John Wall, Bradley Beal, Rui Hachimura, that's a great trio right there. Players like that guy, here's another one. That's the 149, Carl Anthony Towns, lock it up. That'll be for Josh and the T Wolves. Right, Thomas Bryant looked, that's a good point, David, yeah, Thomas Bryant looked good too. He'll be a pretty interesting team next year. Yeah, he just needs to stay healthy, Jed, that's absolutely right. There's Jerry Liles for the Jazz, that's going to be for EA in the Jazz. 20 out of 25 on that one. There's James Harden, fans, he stars, we're watching him right now. Is that numbered? I feel like it should be numbered. That lime green, but maybe that's just the parallel. There's Deandre Aiden, Rated Rookie Card for the Sons. Derek Molanson. There you go, not a hollow, just base version, but still nice. There's Ryan Anderson, another box. Next blaster. Yeah, Jimmy, I'll take it, he says. Seriously, put it in a drawer, forget about it, wait till next basketball season, and then go through your stuff and be like, hey, wait a second, how's this guy doing? You never know. All right, we got a hollow Ben Simmons, nice. No way he's coming back for the playoffs this year, right? Is he done for the rest of the playoffs too? Winner stays, Tim Duncan, hollow, Devin Booker, Robert Williams. People say they like the Devante Graham, Charlotte Hornets, Charles, Hornets have some youngsters on the squad that could, one of them could blow up, could emerge. All right, good luck everybody. Final couple boxes, Dwight Howard, hollow. Got Lonnie Walker, the fourth, Rated Rookie, Isaiah Thomas, Nuggets Edition, Gary Harris, LeBron James. Even these 1819 LeBron James is in his Lakers gear. Is this one of the first? It might be one of the first products in these Lakers gear. That had some value. Josh, last spot, Mojo. And we got Jerome Robinson, Rated Rookie, Kobe, and Jemica Green. Final blaster box, final blaster box, good luck everybody. And we got a Rated Rookie, hollow, Mo Wagner. Where's Mo Wagner these days? Is he still with the, did he go to, I forgot what that deal was, did he go to the Pistons? Or is that the Mahaliak deal? You severe, Mahaliak went to the Pistons? Did they both go there? No, he went to the Wizards. Well, how did that happen? Oh, that was, oh, gotcha. They traded Wagner to the Wizards, along with Isaac Banga and Jamerio Jones in a 2022 second round pick. This trade was necessary for the Lakers to clear Capsways to gain Anthony Davis. Davis-related. Here's Westbrook, Miracle. There's the natural sort of curve to these. Just kind of annoying, but just keep that in mind when you get these. And a Rated Rookie, De'Anthony Melton, and nothing too crazy here at the end. So there you go. That was a five box, random team number three of 1819 at Panini Donner's Optic Basketball Blaster Edition. I'm Joe for jazby'scasebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye.
