Hi, this is Robin from Spokane, Washington. You're watching Trucker Josh Vlox on TJV with Diesel Weasel. Thank you everybody from Minot, North Dakota. It's cold out. No, it doesn't rhyme. Why not, Minot? Why not because it's cold? Really, really cold. So we're headed up to Calgary, Alberta. I think that's where we're gonna spend the night tonight. Tomorrow we're gonna go do our Christmas shopping at probably the Chinook Center, which is like a big mall area.  And then we'll deliver our load on Monday in Red Deer. I'm hoping to be able to get a reset in there. We'll see. It's gonna be pretty tight, but we'll see what happens. So I released my video yesterday. It was called Slow and Steady. And in that video, we talked a long time about electric vehicles and solar-powered homes. And I realized that there's a few of you who really don't like to talk about new technologies like that. So we're gonna talk about it some more. Not today. Maybe later. Not right now, though. Found the responses funny. Anyways, guess I gotta give my friendly reminder again that this channel isn't just about trucking. I just happen to drive a truck. That's why they call me Trucker Josh, because it's what I do every day. But while I'm doing this, there's so much more going on in my head. There's so much more in my life than just trucking. I'll show you the sites. I'll take you where I'm at. But we're gonna talk about a whole bunch of different topics throughout the day. It's just like I have been for the past about eight years. Yeah, so if you're coming here expecting exclusively trucking content, you're gonna get a lot more than that. You're gonna get some trucking stuff. You're gonna get a lot more than that, too. We talk about a whole bunch of stuff here. So just a reminder again of that, because there's some people telling me or asking why I wasn't just talking about trucking. Oh, they must be new. That's okay being new. If you are new, hit that subscribe button, hit the bell and get ready for a variety of topics here on TJV. Let's get going. Beautiful, beautiful, my knot. What a beautiful place. All nice and white with snow. It's just cold. I mentioned that. It's cold. That's okay, though. It's okay. We're prepared for it. A couple hours away from the border, we're gonna cross the north portal into Saskatchewan.  You know, I saw this channel the other day when I was sort of surfing around, sniffing around, seeing who else was out there. All it does is it shows the road, driving down the road in real time for 40 minutes. No talking. 30,000 to 50,000 views. People like that stuff. There's channels like that. I don't want to be just like, that's their thing. Let them do their thing. On this channel, you're gonna get so much more than trucking. That's- that's- trucking doesn't define my entire life.   That's not the only thing I want to talk about, either. I live, eat, and breathe. Trucking. Day after day, after day, after day. Sometimes I want to talk about other things, and, you know, this vlog is supposed to be a reflection of my personal experience in life. As a trucker. Turn right. And there's so much more going on than just trucking in my life. Like the electric vehicle thing. That won't get big into it now. You guys got mad at me last time I talked about it. Oh, I was laughing at the commons and just shaking my head. You can't drive along this road for 16 kilometers.  That's some kind of entitlement. I've been building my channel here for eight years, day after day, and come on here and tell me what I should talk about every day. So, fair warning. We're gonna talk about other things than trucking from time to time, and this is not a trucking-specific channel. Remind the audience side every couple of months, because you know, there's new people who come on here, and that's totally cool. My vlog is called Trucker Josh Vlogs, right? So I get the irony in that. Like, oh, you're gonna talk about other things than trucking? Yeah, there's a whole lot more to a trucker than his truck, and trucking, you know? That's the whole point of this vlog. I want to show you what my entire life is like. We're gonna lose our four-lane highway here right away. We're gonna get onto the two-lane 52 highway going towards Canada. My air pressure in that tire that we got fixed the other day, because I was under the impression that they replaced the valve stem. They didn't. They just fixed it and stopped it from leaking. So I went to go check the air pressure in there today, and it started leaking air out very slowly again from my, uh, as soon as I went to go check the air pressure, right? They got it to stop leaking out of the valve stem, and it's just, it's got a sticky little, uh, they call that a little tongue in there or whatever. A little bit sticky, probably because it's cold. I got it to stop leaking. I'm wondering why, why didn't they replace the valve stem? I guess you don't have to. I mean, if it's just, if it's fixable like that, I'm just gonna have to keep an eye on it and, uh, probably get that replaced. I'm gonna just truck safety next month. I'll keep an eye on that air pressure and that valve stem. Get that replaced as soon as I can. It's kind of frustrating. I mean, it, it takes a lot out of my day. Like it, it threw around more than just my day when that happened, because the shipper had to adjust their schedule as well.  So going to get that fixed, that takes a lot out of not just my day, but other people's day as well. And I want it fixed correctly when that happens or if that happens, you know? What can you do? It's not leaking right now and I still got good air pressure in there. So just keep an eye on it. I just gotta realize that when I check the air pressure, that little thing in there can stick. If you're back here, it's a great fight north here. In the, the great province of Saskatchewan. Crossing border, entering Saskatchewan, changing time zone. No, we were already in Saskatchewan. What are you talking about? Borders and protection is on the Canadian side. We went through border protection services, gave them our best smile, showed them our ID, showed them our paperwork. They gave me a stamp, sent me on my way. Continue on this road for 33 kilometers. So if you're wondering what it's like crossing the border, just have a few things at the front of your mind or ready to tell them. Okay, they're gonna, they're gonna ask you where you're from. They're gonna ask you where you're going. If you're in a personal vehicle and you're going into the US from Canada or into Canada from the US, they're gonna ask you where you're going, where you're staying. They want to know what your business is. They want to make sure you're not a terrorist in short. So that first of all, they're gonna ask you, if you're coming back to your home country, they're gonna ask you if you bought anything in the other country. Because if you did, there's a certain amount you can buy. You can only buy about $400 worth after 24 hours. After that, you have to pay duty, which is a special tax because then Canada, the government gets jealous that you went to the US and bought all your Christmas gifts down there. So they want to cut of that too and they're gonna charge you if you buy more than $400 worth after 48 hours, sorry, not 24, 48 hours. Under 48 hours, you're gonna have to pick, which is pretty much just sales tax. So if you're gonna go shopping in the US, it's best to make it a 40 hour trip, 48 hour trip. That way, you know, you're not being charged tax in the US and Canada. Or vice versa if you're coming from the US. I'm gonna ask you if you have any alcohol or tobacco in the vehicle. They're gonna ask you if you have any weapons in the vehicle.  In that case, they'll usually bring you inside, you bring your receipts inside to the person at the desk and show them there. You don't have to, you usually don't have to show them that stuff at the window, but have it ready just in case. And have all this information ready to go. They're gonna ask you how long you are out of the country when you're returning to your home country. Have that information ready. Don't sit there bumbling. It makes you look suspicious. And remember that the people at the window, they're not there to be your friend. They're not paid to be your friend. Like, very often, they're very friendly, with me anyways, friendly people. But they're not, that's not their job.  Protect the country and make sure you're paying your fair share of taxes. You know, that's to make sure you're not doing anything shady. All right? Answer them honestly and directly look them in the eye, you know, stuff like that. But don't stare them down, you know? You know what, you know what you're doing. Just don't be suspicious. I remember when I crossed the border like every week, a couple of times every week, so I sort of get used to it.  Doesn't mean that they're going to just give me a free pass.  But, you know, they recognize my ID. I'm in the system that I cross there regularly. Some of them watch my videos, I'm pretty sure. Because how else would they know my dog's name is Diesel? They let it slip sometimes. They're like, oh, so how's Diesel doing? Like, how do you know his name? Caught you. But obviously they're not going to treat me any differently. They still give me random searches every now and then and all that other stuff, search my load and, you know, waste their time looking for a contraband and stuff like that. You're not going to find anything, but go ahead, go ahead, random selection, go and search Trucker Josh. At least you know that you won't have to do much paperwork because you're not going to find anything. Right? It's pretty simple. It's pretty simple. Don't record yourself going through the border like your interaction with the person at the window or anything. The Canadian side, there's no laws against it. But, you know, nobody likes being, I just wouldn't record it. The US side, there's actually laws against it. You can't go there and record the conversation you're having with them, which I don't really like because they can record me. Why can't I record them? So how do I prove that I was treated fairly or unfairly if that would ever come up, right? Whatever. They don't like cameras. Just put your cameras away. And definitely don't secretly record them. That can get you in trouble. Anyways, that's the basics of crossing the border.  Where did you come from? How long are you going to be there or on your way back? How long did you stay? How many days? What did you all buy? What's the total amount of goods purchased? Any alcohol or tobacco? Any firearms or weapons? Okay, now if you have a pocket knife or like a Swiss Army knife or something, make sure you always refer to it. It's a tool. It's not a weapon, okay? It's a tool. They understand that, but if you have a knife along like a machete, that's not a tool, okay? That's a weapon. Make sure you claim that. And if you get brought in, you get searched, they ask you. Do you have anything on you? And if you have a Swiss Army knife in one of your pockets, make sure you tell them and slowly hand it to them. Okay, just make this common sense, right? Common sense. They got to deal with a lot of crazy people and they don't know you.  They got to assume the worst and protect themselves. So just same thing with dealing with police, you know? Just let them know what you're doing, be honest with them, straightforward, not really a stressful experience. Nine times out of 10 going through the border. It's a very pleasant experience. I would say even like 9.9 times going through the border. It's a pleasant experience, at least for me. And that's that. But here we are in Saskatchewan. This is the province that is directly above western North Dakota and eastern Montana. It begins at the 49th parallel and goes all the way up to what parallel is it up there? Northwest Territories. It's a pretty big province. The main focus here is agriculture, as you can see. It's a prairie province. Down here in this section, there's a lot of oil being dug up, too, right out of the earth, sold to the market. A lot of potash and very friendly people. It's Ryder Nation. They love their Saskatchewan Rough Riders. I've talked about that before. Okay, you got nothing good to say about the riders.  But if you want to get their favor, just compliment the riders. Just say, man, those riders, what a great team. You'll make friends with anyone. You want to know how I could prove we're back in Canada? There's no overpass over the train tracks anymore. And look at all that oil moving. Whoo! You know, there was a train just like this. It was calling crude oil recently, very close to here in the same province, like last week, last month. It was recently derailed and it was a really bad spill. It lit on fire and it was a huge fire and it made a bigger mess than one of the biggest pipeline spills that we've had.  There's so many people out there standing in the way of us building pipelines to transport this same crude oil, right? They don't want us to put pipelines in the ground. They would rather us transport it like this. And you know, trains derail. It would be so nice if we had another way of transporting this oil without the risk of derailment. You know, a cleaner way of transporting oil. Like a pipeline. Wouldn't that be nice? No, we gotta ship it across the country in these things. Man, the train must be heavy. It's going east right now. So it's obviously coming from, probably coming from Alberta. Who knows where it's going? It's going that way. Somebody over there needs some oil. These guys are bringing it. You know, train engineers or train drivers, as you might say. Very similar to me. You know, they do the exact same thing I do. They just, like each one of those train cars is almost two of my full payload or my full loads. So let's look at the pounds on the side of these trains. The gross vehicle weight or the gross weight is, what, 185,000 pounds or something? 180, 190,000 pounds? Each train car? And my gross vehicle weight is, in Canada, here's 87,500 pounds. 87. So he can haul each one of those trains, train cars, is 100,000 pounds heavier than my whole truck. Fully loaded. Each one of them, he's hauling like a mile of those things. So train engineers, they pull a little bit more product than we do. It's just, it takes a lot longer to get it to market. You know, everyone would ship their goods by train if they could, right? But it takes a lot longer. You've got to load the train, you've got to put the train together, slowly snaking across the continent. You've got to unload the train, put it on a truck. It's much easier to have a personalized delivery, just put your load on a truck like mine and they can zip it right to you. Way faster. That's my specialty. I'll get your freight to you faster than the trains can. And it's also a lot more personalized then, right? I picked the freight up straight from the shipper. I delivered straight to you. All you've got is me in between, right?  The shipper loads it onto a truck, which brings it to a train yard, which sits in the train yard from it. Then somebody else loads it onto the train and then the train brings it across the continent. You probably switch train engineers a couple of times along the way. And then somebody else takes it off. The train puts it in the yard and somebody else takes it from the yard, puts it on a truck. And then that truck brings it to you. You've got all these people in the mix. When you use a trucking company or when you use people like me, just one person, I go pick the load up and bring it straight to you. Much quicker, much more convenient. You should use trucks, if you say it.


The world's lightest and thinnest 15.6 inch gaming laptop is right here, the MSI GS60 2PE Ghost Pro. We're going to review it playing Titanfall at max settings and you'll see that it maintains 60 frames per second refresh rate. Let's get right into it. The thinnest and lightest gaming laptop in the world. Do you want one? Tell me in the comments below. It comes bundled with Xsplit GameCaster and let's hear from one of the product managers at Xsplit right now. Hey guys, my name is Miguel and I am from Xsplit. I am one of the product managers for Xsplit Broadcaster and Xsplit GameCaster. What you saw earlier was me horribly failing at Titanfall. So when we were showing off the MSI GS60 2PE, it comes with Xsplit GameCaster bundled 6 month premium license. So I think you should go get that laptop or get any of the MSI notebooks because it's amazing. The performance as you saw earlier was like nearly at 60 FPS but take note, it's on a laptop, okay? So 60 FPS on a gaming laptop with Titanfall at the absolute highest possible settings. So you can't get any better than that, right? We're running sponsorships very soon. You met Aaron, he announced the sponsorships deal.

Has this ever happened to you riding around in a car with your buddies, cop stops them, pulls them over, all of a sudden the cop starts asking questions. Hopefully this has never happened to you that all of a sudden the driver of the car is arrested. Arrested and searched and what do they know? They find some drugs on them. Maybe some marijuana, maybe something more serious, but ultimately they're dealing with a drug charge. What is it that you can do if you're just a passenger? Couple things. One, you do need to identify yourself. Give them your name and your date of birth because that's information they are entitled to have. If you have a driver's license on you and they ask for it, go ahead and give it to them. That's okay. But don't make any other statements. Don't ask, answer questions about what this stuff is, where it came from. That's not for you to do for the cops and in fact once you have a lawyer if you ultimately need one, they're going to make sure and hope that you stay in silent. Thirdly, and this is part of this, is don't take responsibility. If you're trying to help your buddy out, maybe your buddy wants to help you out, don't take responsibility. We can deal with this later if in fact it comes to you. Just because you're a passenger in a car that has found to have drugs in it, doesn't mean you're getting arrested, but it doesn't mean you're guaranteed not to get arrested. What if it's on your side of the car? What if it's under your seat? Don't help the cops out by helping them make guesses as to what happened.  Hopefully though you haven't made any statements that can be used against you. Carlson, Meisner, Hart and Hazlet, protecting your rights since 1971.


The well-known Italian restaurant Fazzolis was set to open their doors in Pikeville around June of this year. But due to the coronavirus pandemic, that grand opening has been delayed until 2021. According to co-owner Hilary Harkin, this delay is more of a blessing than a setback. Yes, so we announced in January that we were bringing Fazzolis to Pikeville, and then unfortunately everything kind of got shut down with the coronavirus. We had originally hoped to be open in June, but as you can see, things have gotten pushed back. We're hopefully going to be open in January, so we're just keeping our fingers crossed that everything keeps going smoothly. According to Harkin's, construction could begin on the restaurant's building in less than a month. It was a blessing that we didn't open in June because we would have been shut down and we wouldn't have had the inside open. We've been drive-through only and that's no way to open a restaurant for the first time. So we're just calling it a blessing, honestly, that we didn't open in June and that we're going to be opening in January. And hopefully we can get these masks off and be back to normal by then. Not only will the restaurant be a new meal option for Pikeville, but a new life chapter for the co-owners as they plan to be married in October of this year. I would just say that it's been really fun to do it with Jordan and be able to open our first restaurant together. We're getting married in October, so it's been exciting to do this and start our life together. We just have to be patient. Fizzoli's is still coming to Pikeville. We'll be open just as soon as construction's done, whether we're in masks or not, but we will be here to serve the community. Reporting from the Kentucky Enterprise Industrial Park in Pikeville, Kentucky, I'm Jeremy Justice with Mountain Top News.


On a seemingly ordinary day in 1919, the residents of Boston's North End were about to experience an event that would go down in history as one of the most bizarre disasters ever. It was January 15, 1919. The air was crisp, the city was bustling, and in the heart of it all stood a mammoth storage tank belonging to the purity distilling company. This wasn't just any tank, it was a colossal structure filled to the brim with 2.3 million gallons of molasses. Picture it, a sweet, sticky sea contained within the heart of a buzzing city. The tank was nestled amongst the city's buildings, a silent giant amidst the urban hustle and bustle. The weather was typical for a Boston winter, chilly but clear. The city was alive with activity, the residents going about their day, unaware of the impending disaster. The city's heartbeat was steady, its breath regular, its eyes wide open yet unseeing. The air was dense with the sweet scent of molasses, a constant reminder of the city's thriving distilling industry. Yet it was a smell the residents had grown accustomed to, a part of their daily lives. Little did they know, this seemingly ordinary day was about to take a turn for the extraordinary. No one could have predicted that this day would turn from ordinary to extraordinary in a matter of moments. Suddenly the massive tank burst, unleashing a wave of molasses that rushed through the streets at a staggering speed of 35 miles per hour. Imagine, if you will, a wave not of water, but of a thick, sticky substance moving at the speed of a car on a highway. It took mere moments for the monstrous wave to engulf the North End neighborhood of Boston, transforming the cityscape into a surreal scene from a disaster movie. The wave was relentless, it surged forth, demolishing buildings, tossing vehicles aside like toys and tragically sweeping people off their feet. The panic and shock among the residents were palpable. They were in the throes of an unimaginable catastrophe. Their ordinary day turned upside down in the blink of an eye. The molasses wave was not only swift, but dense. Its density added a lethal force to its speed, making it a destructive double-edged sword. It was a force of nature that left devastation in its wake, a scene that would be etched in the memories of the survivors for decades to come. The aftermath was heart-rending. 21 lives were lost to the sweet yet deadly wave. A further 150 individuals were left injured, their lives forever marred by the molasses flood. This was not just a disaster, it was a tragedy, a dark chapter in the city's history that was as baffling as it was heart-breaking. The city was now covered in a sticky, sweet and deadly flood. The aftermath of the molasses flood was as sticky and complicated as the disaster itself. In the immediate wake of the event, rescue efforts sprang into action. But this was no ordinary rescue operation. The sticky, thick molasses that had caused such devastation now became an obstacle in the path of the rescuers. Its viscous nature made it difficult to move, to search, to rescue, hindering their efforts and adding to the complexity of an already unprecedented situation. In response to the tragedy, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the United States Industrial Alcohol Company, the parent company of Purity Distilling. The plaintiff sought justice for the lives lost, the injuries sustained, and the destruction caused by the flood. The case wound its way through the courts, culminating in the company being held accountable for the disaster. They were ordered to pay out $628,000 in damages, a significant sum for the time, but could it ever truly compensate for the loss and suffering? The impact of the molasses flood was not limited to the immediate aftermath. The cleanup operation was a Herculean task that took several weeks to complete, but even after the last traces of molasses were scrubbed away, its presence lingered. The area continued to carry the scent of molasses, a haunting reminder of the disaster that had occurred. Even after the cleanup, for years to come, the area would continue to smell of molasses, a sweet reminder of a bitter disaster. So what caused this sugary calamity? Let's delve into the contributing factors to this bittersweet tragedy. The primary cause was the poor construction of the storage tank. Remember, this was a colossal vessel designed to hold over 2 million gallons of molasses, however it was hastily and inadequately built, which led to its eventual failure. Then we have the factor of insufficient testing. The tank was filled to the brim without any prior testing for possible leaks or structural weaknesses. This oversight proved to be a grave mistake. Next, let's consider the thermal expansion. The temperature in Boston fluctuates dramatically, especially in winter. The molasses inside the tank would expand and contract with these changes, straining the already weak structure of the tank. Lastly, the density of the molasses played a significant role. Molasses is a thick, viscous liquid denser than water. When the tank burst, the molasses rushed out with incredible force, creating a wave that caused immense damage in loss of life. The molasses flood of 1919, a tragedy that taught us the importance of safety and caution in the most unexpected of ways.


Two people were injured in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhya on Monday following a missile strike on a residential district, according to regional governor Yuri Imolashchkaya on ITKM as Russia launched its latest barrage of hypersonic and cruise missiles against Ukrainian targets early Monday, striking near the front lines of fighting in the east as well as in central and western parts of the country, officials said.AT least four civilians were reported killed and at least 30. Emergency service shared video showing rescuers in Zaporizhya setting up tents to receive local residents affected by the strike.


So, a very important principle in sedimentology and stratigraphy is called Walther's Law. So Walther recognized a relationship between the sequence of layers vertically representing changes in time and changes in rocks that happen laterally. And the idea is that if you have an environment, a set of environments, so we will make this, say the ocean and the beach here, if you deposit a layer of rocks within this environment, the ones that are deposited in the beach will reflect different processes in the ocean. Right? So this represents a new sediment. And on the beach you have waves crashing and swashing up, and as you go offshore, you're under continuous water. So the characteristics of the sediments vary depending on environment. So we can say that the sediments vary with environment. And that's because the process is very in space and time. So if you take a look at an ancient rock, so this is the modern, if we go and look at the ancient and we look at this, what we'll call this layer one, we look at layer one here. What we would see is this part of it represents the beach. This part may be from different colors since I have so many, but from here into maybe here represents shallow ocean, or we call that marine. And then further out we have maybe deep marine. So basically the deep marine is this brown, the shallow marine is the red, and the beach is blue here. So if we look at a layer of rock, we'll see that change in environment as we go laterally. So then we have the question is what happens if sea level goes up? There's a shift in the environment when sea level goes up. So if we have sea level going up here, our next layer of rock is going to have different characteristics. So I'll do it with color here. So layer two in this area is going to be red, and it'll go somewhere down to here. It's a shallow marine rocks. And then at some point we get to deep marine rocks, and it goes to brown. So if we look at our next layer here, layer two, we see that the rocks have changed in terms of the environment that they're representing. So if we look at our layers here, what we see through time is we have a beach, and then we have shallow marine rocks, and that tells us that sea level went up. If we look in this area here, we just see shallow marine rocks. Now it happens that they actually vary as they're super shallow and go deeper. So what we would likely actually see is that the rocks are getting deeper and deeper through time. If we look out here, we see shallow marine, and then deep marine, then out here we just see continuing deep marine rocks. So Walther's law and the key insight is related to how you have these shifts in environment through time, and those shifts are representing, if you go vertically, you see the same shifts as you go laterally. So one of the key caveats to this though is if you have non-deposition or erosion, a break in sedimentation, Walther's law doesn't work. So if you think about our previous example in the video with the discussion of time in sedimentary rocks, we were missing parts of layer three and parts of layer two when we had the uncomformity. There you would have a break in environments going vertically. So I'm going to type on the screen for the next part of the video so that you can really very clearly see Walther's law as text.


Don't spend your life trying to convince someone to see your worth. There is someone out there that won't need to be constantly reminded and convinced of your worth.


I was just trying to throw strikes, just trying to be aggressive, you know, I felt pretty good coming out and ball was coming out good, so I was just trying to be aggressive with the strikes on. Look at that first inning, you wound up throwing a lot of pitches in that inning, was it just a matter of kind of getting into the groove after the longer layoff? Yeah, I think so, just getting back into the groove, you know, it's been 10 days, so I just wanted to try to take it slow, but I felt so good that it was, I was kind of in between that first inning, so it was good to settle in. When you throw that many pitches in the first inning, yet you leave with a very manageable pitch count, you obviously earn everything you need there. Yeah, and then I had a couple quick innings there after, you know, after we scored the run, I had a quick innings, so yeah, it worked out. How did the knee hold up? It felt good, you know, I told Boonee and Larry, if it feels like this the rest of the year I'm good. So you see how much of a significant was Voight's performance tonight? Oh, it was huge.  How impressive is that guy that doesn't play a lot and produces what he gets to do? Yeah, that's hard to do.

Shout out to adam So what I want to know It's been mentioned interpretive history What is what is that even like what what is interpretive history? I think of interpretive dancing. It's not the same It's the same thing. Is it? Yes. I love it. Okay. Okay, break it down Okay, so one of our missions with the park service with each individual park. There's 175 state parks in florida So that's 175 different communities that have their own state park That means that we have an opportunity in each community to interpret your history to keep your history alive And that's one of our main focuses here something we've been working on for the last two and a half years The history of the park dates back to the toka bargain indians That first we're here and we know they hunted here. We know the fish here. We don't know if they lived here here Okay here. I love it right where I'm standing things went down. You can see an artifact just walking through the park That's your first history first living history in the park and we move forward to Things like the cattle ranchers that came in that's another part of history We want to be able to interpret in the future as the cattle ranchers that actually found the salt springs like the one behind That's cool. It was actually It was actually the cow Animals need us to everything the ranchers found the cows. What would we be without our animals because the salt springs Were so heavily laden with salt that uh, there's actually back in the history books It says that a rock would be delayed as it was sink. Uh, and it was just so great So it actually brought the community even to get their salt because before refrigeration They needed the salt exactly which is another big piece of the history that we're trying to interpret With a joint project with our cso the salt springs alliance. We're building the salt works Uh, it's about halfway through now works a lot Salt works a lot. We're bringing it alive. We're bringing it alive. That's right living history And the idea is you'll be able to come out and make salt the same way they did 150 years ago like Salt to eat like salt that we can sprinkle on now Never mind Exactly Not open just keep it, but that's really stinking cool. Yeah, okay In fact, uh, the donation that you have provided will Go PSO will be part of that salt works a lot. I love it. I love it. That's what we uh, we uh, Gave a check and it's already spent. Yes. Oh, yeah That is what that's come to the park and see the money exactly into something else Exactly. So when are we hoping that it's gonna be open like summer 2019 It can be viewed right now. Okay, see the infrastructure You can see what an actual salt works to look like right now What you'll see coming in the future is the interpretive displays We have some of the original tools that we're used that we've recreated that'll be going in the shadow box out there So really you can start looking at it now And watch it change watch it grow until the day that we actually make salt with you And uh, really that will be early uh in in january So and we're we have a big concert coming up in december 15.

So Ravens decided, you know what, we're gonna get extra active today. EDC is like, man, EDC probably been on YouTube and Twitter and all that. He like, man, there's so many people.  You know what? All right, I got something for them. So now he brought in JPP for a visit earlier, but also somebody else who's visiting is Blake Martinez. I think somebody actually sent in a question from subscriber about Blake Martinez like a couple of weeks ago. And now whoever that was, I can't remember off the top of my head. Boom, there you go. Now with Blake Martinez, I remember him being number 47 on the Packers and he's been with the Giants for the past couple of years and he is known as a tackling machine. He always racks up like 50 million tackles, but I do believe that past coverage was an issue for him. Now he signed, when he first signed on with the Giants a couple of years ago, he signed like a three year, $30 million deal. But then last season, he hurt his knee. He hurt his knee, so that obviously ended his season. And then this year with the Ravens, not the Ravens, with the Giants getting a new defensive coordinator who was with the Ravens a previous year, Wink. Blake, it just wasn't like they were gonna use them like that. They asked them to take a pay cut and it just, it was time to move on for both sides. New regime, new linebackers. New scheme, old linebackers out of there. So Blake Martinez, they cut him a couple of weeks before the season started. So he's a free agent and the Ravens are bringing them in. Now just looking at his numbers over the past couple of years, we can really start in 2017 because that's when he really became a starter. Playing 16 games for really, besides last season, he played, he usually plays in like 99% of the games because it didn't go to being 17 games until last year. So that was an anomaly, I guess. And that's when he got injured. But besides then, he's played in all the games every single season. But starting in 2017, he had 144 tackles the following year, 2018, or 144 tackles, 2019, or 155 tackles, 2020, 151 tackles. So this dude like literally tackles everything. That's a lot of tackles. Like a lot of times with linebackers and stuff, you'll see like, especially a starting inside lineback, you might see like 110, 120, and that ain't bad. But that's a lot of tackles. There's a whole lot of tackles. So tackling is something that's very important. Especially, I mean, I was gonna say in the middle of the field, but really any part of the field, because if you don't tackle, if you can tackle them, that can lead to a lot of bad stuff. As we remember a lot of last year with the Baltimore Ravens, this year, not so much. This year, the tackling hasn't been bad so far. In the Jets game, it was really good. In the Dolphins game, for the most part, yeah, it was pretty good. The only problem in the Dolphins game was just dudes running wide open. That was it, dudes just running wide open. But as far as tackling, that's been fine. Now, but why would the Ravens bring in an inside linebacker? For what, what would be the point? You got Patrick Queen, you got Josh Bynes. I think it's more so for who they don't have, because they just put Josh Ross on injured reserve. And maybe even with Josh Bynes, it could be a possibility that they look at Josh Bynes and they're like, hmm, we got a little bit of concern there. Got some concerns there. Cause they may look at him and they may feel like there may be some times where he may be a liability, where he just can't get there quite fast enough. And so, but who knows? Who knows? I'm sure, if the Ravens do end up signing Blake Martinez, which I mean, I expect them to at this point. Yeah, but anyway, it could be for that, it could be for special teams. But I think that I would expect him to be on the field, even if they sign him now, even if he's not on the field much this week, but in the next couple of weeks, I would expect somebody like him to end up being on that field. To me, I would look at this like, sort of like a Josh Bynes or LJ Fort type of signing from a couple of years ago. Shout out to LJ Fort, by the way. I hope he's doing good. But I would look at it like something like that, to where it's the Ravens, they're signing a veteran player, who they know, he's still obviously got plenty left in the tank, but somebody who may be more of one of them low key players, where it's not like this, obviously not a big star name or whatever, but what star name, besides Odell Beckham Jr., is gonna be out there in free agency at this point. But one of those low key guys, where it's like, all right, they're low key, but they could come in and make a significant impact. That's how I look at it. That's how I think they're looking at it. So again, it's just a matter of seeing. But again, this is just a visit. It's just a visit for right now. So in order for this thing to become official, a pen would have to be put to paper. And Ravens are thin. They thin at pass rush, they thin at outside linebacker. Can Blake Martinez, can he rush the passer? Can he be a pass rusher too? Like we know he could tackle, but can he rush the passer too? Like if we look at his sack numbers, they've been solid. But again, they've been solid for inside linebacker because his rookie year, 2016, he had one sack. 2017, he had one sack. 2018, he had five sacks. And then in 2019 and 2020, he had three sacks each. So yeah, I guess his average is about two and a half, three sacks a year. So that ain't bad, not bad. But again, his bigger impact, it comes from tackling.  But what about tackles for loss? Are you tackling people in the backfield? And how often are you doing it? And of course, for a linebacker, it's not so cutting dry. It's not so black and white for them making tackles in the backfield because a lot depends on the opponent's offensive line, how good are they blocking? A lot depends on your defensive line. How good are they penetrating that offense? So much depends, that's the football is the ultimate team sport because so much depends on other people. You could be doing a phenomenal job at your job, but then if somebody else is doing a poor job at their job, even if you are playing perfectly, then it ain't gonna work. It's not gonna work out. But anyway, rookie year 2017, excuse me, 2016, he had four tackles for a loss. Then in 2017 and 2018, he had 10 tackles for a loss each, then in 2019, Lamar's MVP year, he had five tackles for a loss and then in 2020, he had nine tackles for a loss. So solid stuff, man, solid stuff. And of course, again, last year, we were not saying last year because he only played three games last year. That's where he hurt his knee and his season got ended prematurely. But another thing too, speaking of stuff that happens in the backfield, QB hits. And over the last three, four seasons that he's played, 2018, 2019, and 2020, he's gotten six QB hits in 2018, three QB hits in 2019, and in 2020, he got six QB hits. So maybe the Ravens are looking at that, like, man, we trying to hit these quarterbacks, like we hit two, like maybe two times, something like that, nothing crazy. But we need to get back there a little bit more. We need to exhaust every single avenue and way to get to the quarterbacks as we possibly can because the challenge is only gonna get harder for me. They only gonna get tougher.  No, he gonna move a little bit.  You do got Brady, but that's a little further down the road. But then you got guys like Jamie Swinston. You got Joe Burrow. You got Deshaun Watson. You got Jacoby Brissette. Who else Ravens play this year? You got Mitch Trebisky. And he can move a little bit, a little bit, but he can move enough. Who else? But you get my point. A lot of quarterbacks that you gonna be facing, they are not just gonna be stationary and just post it up like statues in the pocket, no. So you gotta get people that can move. You gotta get people that can get them hits in on them. Again, JPP, get that pressure on them. And for Blake, hey, if they get past the offensive line, hey, you make the tackle. You just go do your thing, make the tackle. And that might be one of the things with it. They like, hey, Blake, that's all we need you to do. Just come in, make the tackle. That's it. Simple as that. So hopefully he's healthy. I'm sure Ravens will do that extensive research and examination on his knee on just the whole physical because you obviously gotta pass the physical, but I'm sure they're gonna do their due diligence on the status of his health to see exactly where he is health-wise because health is wealth, baby, as y'all already know, especially y'all being Ravens fans. Especially after last year, yeah, health is wealth. But anyway, we'll see what goes down. I expect, I definitely expect, like I said in the previous video, which YouTube initially didn't even send out a notification on. Like YouTube, what's up, man? Come on, now let people know that we uploaded a video, man, don't start that foolishness, man. Anyway, like we said in the previous video, I expect JPP to be signed between today and tomorrow. Tomorrow is practice, so maybe they may officially announce it tomorrow, but they agree to the terms and all that today, but latest by tomorrow, I expect JPP to be signed, latest. They can go ahead and announce it tonight though, might as well, but latest would be tomorrow. Maybe it's one of those things where they announce it tonight. Well, the reporters and stuff, they announce it tonight and then it becomes official. The Ravens announced it tomorrow, so he can be part of his first practice, which is tomorrow on Wednesday. And with Blake Martinez, I mean, yeah, they probably signed him too. And we'll sign both. But anyway, take it clean, I appreciate y'all. I love y'all so much, and we out.


Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem and Islamic in Pakistan, welcome back to corporate governance. We have been talking about the various global factors, the universalization of corporate governance and also its various premiums, the destination, the pathway, the investor behavior and the investor mindset and the investor decision making. And we also saw that how the investor is looking at premium but without compromising on governance without compromising on merit-based decision making and without compromising on the process of achieving the targeted profits. So today we are going to move forward and talk about globalization in corporate governance and how it is affecting corporate governance on a national and on an international level. Now the experience of globalization represents a profound reconfiguration of the world's economy compared to earlier periods of internationalization. An international economy links distinct national markets. A global economy fuses national markets into a coherent world. So again there is a difference between internationalization and globalization. Internationalization has been taking place since the 19th century when cross-border trading started when due to the emergence of the industrial revolution we see that things produced in one country or in one region would be going to the other and there were huge profits which were generated through that internationalization. However, when we are talking about globalization then what we see is that in an international economy different markets are linked together but in a global economy it tends to fuse national markets into a coherent world and that means it makes it one. So it could be that in one country let's say if we pick up a vehicle or an automobile then in one country the tires would be produced, in the other one the axles would be produced, in the third one the engines would be produced, in another one the interior and the other accessories would be produced and it would be totally put together in another country and then sold across the whole world. So that would be a coherent whole because there is a great need to integrate everything and now we're even talking about zero inventories. So what are those zero inventories that supply chain management has done in such a precise way that everything clicks together and you have to have zero inventory or zero stocks and that again is done through the fusion of national markets into a coherent whole and that requires a lot of technology, a lot of perfection and also international standards working together within the different organizations in different countries so that there is a better understanding and coherence and synergy which is created between these different national markets for a global impact. The growth of foreign direct investment exceeded the growth in national and global trade and that is what we see that FDI is a major indicator of how an economy is growing and the more FDI coming in the better results which basically emerge and the stronger the economy basically becomes. The evolving pattern of these industrial and investment processes of globalization became increasingly apparent. So again this whole process of industrialization and the investment was directly proportional to each other and we see that it has become very apparent and also has also become something which is the need of the R and without that it would not be possible to do business in the right way. Globalization of industry also refers to an evolving pattern of cross-border activities of firms. Now what do they involve? Number one international investment or foreign direct investment trade taking place freely between different countries and different regions collaboration for purposes of product development. So again there might be an American company but the product is being developed in Pakistan so we see virtual offices and also again the outsourcing of different activities production and sourcing and that sourcing basically is how is it that you use similar platforms to each other? There are large companies now which use similar platforms basically to ensure that there is a cut down of cost and they can become more efficient and more effective and that ensures that their products are better and more cheaper priced and then how do we do the marketing and marketing again is not only now limited to what we call billboards or to electronic media but more so the social media and the virtual media and then the reviews and comments which are coming in how that being generated and how that is being catalyzed for the betterment of the company and how is it that we use market influencers and social media influencers and all of that put together comes up with a marketing package. So all of these new paradigms and all of these new dimensions and dynamics are changing the globalization of corporate governance and again the organization for economic cooperation and development basically states that international investment trade collaboration production and sourcing and marketing are the key to success for a globalization of corporate governance so that is extremely important to keep in mind. Globalization has reduced the sense of isolation felt in much of the developing world. It has given many people in the developing countries access to knowledge well beyond the reach of even the wealthiest in any country so again there's this free flow of knowledge. We basically live in a palmized world. The smartphone has access to the whole universe so that information is freely available. You just google or you just search and you find out what is happening. What is the competition? What are the comparisons? What are the best costs? Where's the best sourcing? All of that is available so therefore isolation has now come to an end. There is no isolated place anywhere. You could be a poor country, you could be a developing country, you could be a developed country but now there is a level playing field and those nations who would have better systems and better frameworks and better platforms they have more potential of moving ahead and again the difference between the wealthiest and the poorest has also diminished because of free access to information. We live in a knowledge based economy. We live in knowledge based institutions. We basically promote knowledge systems and processes which are run by knowledge individuals having knowledge based laws called intellectual property generating intellectual capital and also churning the economy forward and creating a competitiveness and value addition which is not found anywhere else. So all of this is basically a consequence of globalization. Those who vilify globalization often overlook its benefits. Globalization is progress for some but unfortunately there is also a backlash whereby some communities are fighting poverty and that is because the rich are becoming richer also and we basically see Elon Musk crossing 250 billion. We see that in COVID there have been more billionaires generated but on the other hand poverty is also increased. So this misdemeanor or this distortion of economics or of wealth and poverty is something which also is emerging through globalization and it is very important that through better corporate governance this is also addressed more effectively and in the best possible way. The ILO basically says the current process of globalization is generating unbalanced outcomes. Wealth is being created but too many countries and people are not sharing its benefits. Some countries have little or no voice in shaping the process. So what we see is that we have powerhouses like the United States. We have powerhouses like the European Union. We have powerhouses like BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. We have powerhouses like the ASEAN region. So these powerhouses basically are tending to overwhelm nations and developing countries and that can have its own adverse effects. So therefore there is a need to balance things out and to ensure that the greater benefit of people, the greater benefit of economies is catered to rather than creating a cutthroat competition in which whole countries can be blocked out and could suffer and that would create a dissonance within the global system which would have long-term negative repercussions and that is again something that we have to look at and ensure through standardization, through internationalization, to globalization and also better balanced approach, policies, strategies and laws which would divide the wealth that is generated amongst the different startups of society. Thank you so much.

I want to answer you as photos. We are working in a place where we are in the same sync with these populace to listen and to retreat and to go. The Kenya kwaans administration is not shy of doing that, because we are accountable to Kenyans. So it's been done, so the Gazetu bodies can also be revoked and declared now invited by a court of law, we don't have to go that hallway. I think it's set as a matter faster that Kenya has brought out their proposals to the Minister of Interior and then you will see what the effect comes out of it. I think that is important. For replacement when you invoke a Gazette notice, the current situation subsists. That is to me whatever is already in place, as pleased as Kenya is already charged, I think that is how Government has not really come up with any new taxes other than the BAT, which was to be standardized after COVID, because there is an East Africa standard, and that's the requirement of our common market, because we cannot have the BATs burden from one member to another. So there is no new tax, but because of the strength of the Kenya shavings, which you all know is stronger than other isoafikan countries, then of course we actually rank higher in terms of the pricing, but you can actually see, if you look carefully with the stabilization fund, we made some very good gains more than in other countries, and you can compare. You can compare with Tanzania, you can compare with Uganda, you can see we are being far better in comparison with our neighbours, and we can do much more, but please also remember that there is that element of us shilling being stronger than the currencies, and when you have a weaker shilling in any other place of the world, the cost of living is much lower because of local factors of production. On the issue of abduction, please, I think that is a matter that should be dealt by the police, there is no official policy of that nature, and so allow me to leave it at that, because that is only the investigation of workers that can comment about that. I want to answer you as follows, yes troubles, but there is no pain, there is no game without pain, we have to trouble, I mean you can't go to public transport, you have to use a flight to cost money to take a president to another country, but they won't have benefits. So for me, and this is very important, the benefits far outweigh the travel costs. Kwa ttema enimere tektu nubi and we are going to share with that statement, you will see hundreds of billions of shillings that they would actually spark, inject new revenue, new liquidity to our market, much, much more than an airfare or some what is there in our hotel. And what the government has been able to do also for your information, as good I tell you is, it has reduced the number of delegations for anyone going out of the country, and the government has also cut the number of days that any government official can travel up to 7 days maximum and within a year up to 45 days. Delegations have been reduced to as well as even 3 people at times, so if there is one area that has been affected by budget cuts, it is actually foreign trouble, including even parliamentary. So that is something that, you know, cabinet has approved, but some of these meetings also Mazadas can represent us. But where the president of the country is required, I think is only fair because he is the number one diplomat of this country, and he carries with him that because it is a question of duty. Then there is an issue of floods. I think the numbers are there, but there are imagines of funding that have been already set aside. It is common practice for, it is actually common practice for budgeting, and I can tell you that because I have been a vice chairman of the National Committee of the Senate and also a member of the National Committee of the National Assembly, because the power of the pass is actually in the parliament. So there are monies that were set aside for that and they have been used. But also remember that the process is a key part of the government, and so therefore over and above any other thing, when there is such a crisis, we need the effort of everyone, but then we are able to help our fellow Canadians. It is not really a prisa of government to help because if you are there and somebody is drowning, you are the brother, you are the sister. We should do so, like that woman who swam to save the child, and this is very commendable. In terms of this particularization of the shelling, there is a element, it is good you understand why the shelling is losing its value. The only country that can print money is America because the dollar looks like the world currency. There are the only ones who can print papers and their money and that's what happened during COVID. Now they are buying back their dollars because the dollar was losing value up to 33% and they are buying it at 5% or no, those margins. So many people are finding instruments of getting that money back to the Americans and that is why then the dollar has left Harbok in many global economies. It's not just here. We hope that at some point the Americans will also go at the interest rates to do so and so therefore it will give us a victory. But you can hear our president, and it is a Kenyan demon policy, but we did start the dollar rising. So why would you need a dollar to go and buy something in Uganda for example, and open it up for African market so that we are not vulnerable to other people's decisions. The Americans were receiving $1,000 in their banks checks during COVID because they had to survive. But now that is a wrecking harbok because our economy was very less in doing COVID. We have post COVID shops but then the dollar rising is one of the things that the government is doing and we could even see efforts to do so and we hope it may take long but Kenya is really a leading factor. However, one of the things that also we did as government is not to have artificial rates for the Kenyan shalings. So that then for the last six years that's what was happening. So you'd rather just face your reality so that you start recalibrating. But it's also true to tell you that if you compare the loss of value of the Kenyan shalings up to that 5% with other African currencies we actually might be better. Compare how much value for example South Africa run has lost. Not to soothe ourselves but that's the truth actually. So you can see that our measures are yielding because if the Nibia losing not at the rate at which possibly would have done so. Now it is true that on foreign direct investment ladies and gentlemen we have done very poorly in the past administration. If you look at the graph of foreign direct investment by the time present, Kibaki left office. I think we are doing a quarter on what was being done and you can check the graph. It's shocking. It's really shocking. So that's part of the reason why you can see the president trying to attract foreign investors. Like now the one billion dollar hydrogen production in Nibash is almost done. The production of vehicles here, the production of mobile forms, leatherworks, you name it. And that's why we can have even country industrial parts even to ensure that people can produce locally. But also to increase our manufacturing base and that also requires not foreign direct injection. That's why you have special economic zones even in some places like two rivers. Because we are trying to incentivize those who have money to bring it here. And you'll be seeing more efforts towards that because that is also how for example countries like Dubai are delivered to the world. So that is very critical. FDI is critical especially to increase our manufacturing ratio to GDP from 7 to 20 per cent where it was in the 80s. So that one is very, very critical. And also leveraging on the African free continental trade area cofter as I call it. So that then we are not just having goods produced by other people coming through the roads that we are procuring. And also how to see how we can concession for example the working through between the SGR and the ports. Those kind of things. The two ports for example, how do we invest them? How do we make sure that for example we lose up to three gigabytes because of the last mile connectivity? A million houses that were added using the same grid and how do you then modernize that? How do you ensure that then you can actually have markets created through these IT hubs and hospitals in markets? Opening up so much that people we are more and more connected. So that then we have more and more investments coming this way. So it is a working progress but I can tell you without a doubt it is very, very deliberate. And this Kenya Paz administration has identified about nine value chains in the coffee team. All of those including now the government is distributing sunflower seeds so that we can start getting more and more cooking oil from here and the other byproducts. So that kind of agricultural industrialization, agricultural economy will really help us so that we are able to raise our economy from the bottom up. I think I have tried as much as possible to answer to your questions. Please feel free to reach out to us. We are ready and willing to work with you. And as I have said and I want to reiterate the future of Kenya is bright. Kenya shall rise from the ashes. Kenya shall win. Kenya shall prosper. It is great to be a Kenya. I thank you.
