Ukrainian forces advancing north and south of Bakhmut. In the direction of Bakhmut, Ukrainian troops continue to conduct offensive actions north and south of the town. This was announced by the spokesman for the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Andrey Kovalev. The Defence Forces of Ukraine are on an offensive operation on the Bakhmut, Militopol and Burdiansk axes, the official said. The spokesperson also noted that Ukrainian soldiers are getting entrenched in new positions while artillery is inflicting fire damage on identified enemy targets as well as engaging in counter-battery combat. In the Stara-Mayorsk district, small success has been fixated on regained positions. Kovalev emphasised. At the same time, the enemy continues to resist, moving in units and actively employing reserves. In the direction of Bakhmut, our troops continue to conduct offensive operations north and south of town, the spokesman added. At the same time, according to Kovalev, Ukraine's Defence Forces are restraining the advance of Russian troops in the Kupyansk and Lyman directions where the troops of the aggressor state are also putting up strong resistance, pulling up reserves and suffering significant losses as heavy battles are ongoing.


And so this is a two-year-old and we would have probably put it on a cow probably I don't know end of April probably and So all I'm going to expect on it is as I hope that I'm not having to like really just manhandle it and Rip it in the ground. I just wanted to rate the cow go across their travel I may have to pull on at the time to it. She feels just a little fresh a little lucky. I May have to work on her traveling This mayor mate is probably not going to if I put my hands down. She's probably not gonna Turn with it on her own I can work on getting her to move her feet But like that right there within my hands, you know, it's not like I don't have her completely just dialed in on that turn But what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna get him behind and let this cow get ahead of me right here And I'm gonna come in here and like I said, I'm working her a little fresh So she may not start out perfect, but there that right there is the core Fundamental deal about what I'm after when that horse Gets that cows right there. She needs to be thinking check. So I'm gonna pull the cow keeps going. I don't care I wanted that horse to think check Like right there. I want her to check. So she didn't want to back up I went so she cross fired right there She come out of that turn cross firing and so I went ahead and kicked her with this left leg You couldn't see it right there on the other side of them cows I kicked her with them left legs that left leg to make her go ahead and finish that turn or get that rib cage through and I'm trying to get like so I'm trying to get control of her body with movement. So instead of Dissecting that turnaround right there. I'm used to letting movement. So like There was two tears from cow to cow But basically like a lot of times what I'm gonna be working and just because I have a lot of horses on on Very few cows and some of my cows are pretty numbed out. So pretty much as I'm training Once that cow once that horse's head comes to the cow's shoulder so somewhere in between


Hey, welcome back, everybody. Jeff Frick here with theCUBE. We're at Node Summit 2017 in downtown San Francisco, about 800 people, developers talking about Node, Node.js, and really the crazy adoption of Node as a development platform, enterprise adoption, everything's up into the right, some crazy good stories. And we're excited to have somebody come and write off his keynote. It's James Bellinger, he is an engineer at Twitter. James, welcome. Thank you, thank you for having me. Yeah, absolutely. So you just got off stage and you were talking all about Twitter Lite. What is Twitter Lite? I like Twitter as it is. Well, so Twitter Lite is a optimized, it's a mobile web app. So if you pull up your phone, open up the web browser and go to twitter.com in your smartphone web browser, you get a Twitter experience that we're calling Twitter Lite. Okay. And it used to be a little bit out of date, but we've been able to update it using a lot of new, exciting web technologies. And so now we have this thing that feels very much like a native web app. They call them progressive web apps these days. And so we're using that as sort of a way to sort of compete in areas and markets where maybe native apps are less able to compete, where people don't want to download a 200 megabyte iOS app. They want something that fits under 600 kilobytes. Okay, so you had the Twitter Lite app before and then this was really a redeployment or are we getting it wrong? Well, we had a web app at mobile.twitter.com and it was just sort of the mobile web app. Okay. But we sort of really rewrote everything and that includes the backend on Node and then we're now sort of pushing that and calling it Twitter Lite. Okay, and when did that go live? Three months ago. Three months ago, okay, super.  How was the experience using Node tool set versus whatever you had it built on before? It's definitely faster in every way. Faster in every way, that's a good thing. Let me catch that. Be more specific. There's those benchmarking people. We need them back over here. It is very fast for how we apply it. It's really fast for development speed and perhaps the biggest win is that on both sort of areas of our stack, whether it's the part of the application that runs on the browser or it's the part of the application that runs inside the Twitter data center, we have one language and technology. So when a problem comes up and an engineer needs to go and find the problem and fix it, they don't need to sort of, oh, well, that's server code. I don't know how it works. And it's written in this language I don't understand. We really just have one application and it happens to run in both places. And so it really improves engineering efficiency. And you saw that in the development process, QA and the ongoing, yeah. And it was a more, so it's more like the guys that were more front end that now have access to the back and then the other way around, is that correct? Yeah, it's a little bit of both. You know, I think before, I think there's people that they really like Scala and they only want to work in Scala or there's people that really don't like it. So you end up, I think, having engineers kind of get balkanized by their technology choices and their kind of preferred systems. But I think it really sort of tears down a couple of walls. And so it improves engineering efficiency that way, but we found also that some of the tool sets and the tool chains that we're using allow engineers to just sort of move faster. Right. So whether that's like recompiling the service in like one second instead of having to wait for multiple minutes, there's just sort of less time spent waiting. Right. And in terms of don't share anything, you're not supposed to share, but in terms of frequency of releases and kind of ongoing maintenance and kind of the development of the, I won't say the app, not the app. I guess it is the app. Going forward, how has that been impacted by moving this platform? I think it might be too early to say. We've, right now, we've got about 12 to 15 engineers and we're ramping up. And I think it might, we're kind of looking to finish around 25 engineers by the end of the year. So the sort of team and contributor base of the kind of like core team that are working in the app is growing. But otherwise, we're releasing every day, we're kind of always pushing code, we're running experiments a lot. I don't know if that answers your question. So it sounds like it's a little easier, but you're still doing everything you were doing before, but now it just feels like it's easier. Well, talk to me in a couple of months and maybe I'll have some better answers for you. So the other thing, if I talk to you in a couple of months, I talk to you from a year from now, just in terms of, as you look down the road, what this opens up, what are some of your priorities now that you've got it out?  What's kind of next on your roadmap, your horizon? So far, I think we've been really encouraged by the success of using this stack for development. So we're looking to kind of double down on that. So that means looking at some of the other Twitter web apps, or sorry, Twitter apps in general, the other ways that people use Twitter and to sort of look at how they were built and to see because we're using React and because we're using, I think, technologies that make it very easy to be responsive and either you have a wide layout or a very narrow layout or work offline, we have a lot of potential to sort of cannibalize or replace and also update some of the existing apps that maybe don't get the attention that they need. So there's some of that. And then I think Twitter Lite as a product, I think that we're going, we're looking to really expand its reach and make a big push in some of the developing areas.  So we've heard some examples earlier today where that's a use case when you do have the opportunity to maybe redo an acquired application, that those are kind of natural opportunities to look to redo them with this method. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. All right, cool. Well, James, thanks for taking a few minutes. Thank you. Congratulations on the talk. And I'll thank you for you next time I go to Twitter Lite. Okay, yeah, thank you so much. All righty. He's James Bellinger from Twitter, I'm Jeff Rick. You're watching theCUBE from Node Summit 2017. Thanks for watching.


Hi everyone, Raif Derrazy here, and this is your weekly roundup of the latest HIV news for the week of October 9th through October 15th. Today, I'll be going through seven articles covering topics ranging from how neutralizing antibodies may prevent HIV transmission, how the timing of HIV treatment can affect gut health, tensions grow as resources for HIV dwindle at UNAIDS, and more. I won't be reading the articles per se, but I will give you a brief summary, and sometimes throw in my own opinion and or commentary. If you'd like access to the complete articles, all links will be available in the description box below. But first, a massive thank you to a few subscribers for their recent super thanks and donations. Dennis Nelson for a $50 super thanks. Tan Anderson for a $29 super chat. Mark Tuckfield for a $12 donation to PayPal for the folks in Australia. Thank you all of you. While I'm not able to make a living off of YouTube yet, your support certainly helps. All right, diving in. Number one, JMIR, Journal of Medical Internet Research, moderating effect of pre-exposure prophylaxis use on the association between sexual risk behavior and perceived risk of HIV among Brazilian gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, a cross-sectional study.  They found that current PrEP users had higher behavioral risk scores, but lower perceived risk of HIV scores compared to non-PrEP users. The study suggests that PrEP users may have confidence in the effectiveness of PrEP, thank God, leading to a moderated relationship between sexual behavior and perceived HIV risk. PrEP's effectiveness, its positive psychological impact, and the frequent HIV testing and interaction with health services required of PrEP users may jointly influence the relationship between sexual behavior and perceived risk of HIV among PrEP users. Good to see that there were great findings that people who are on PrEP are doing better overall psychologically, have a better grasp on their sexual health and their risk for HIV transmission. Number two, nature communications. HIV-1 treatment timing shapes the human intestinal memory B cell repertoire to commensal bacteria. Okay, and now in English. In this research on people with HIV-1, scientists studied how the timing of starting antiretroviral therapy, otherwise known as ART, affects certain antibodies in the intestines. What they discovered was that there are clear differences in the antibodies produced by memory B cells. Depending on whether the treatment for HIV begins during the early or late stages of infection, those who started treatment later showed more reactions to common bacteria in both the gut and throughout the body, implying that delaying ART might cause the buildup of problematic memory B cells in the intestines. This could potentially harm the body's ability to fight HIV-1. The findings stress how important it is to start treatment early to prevent issues with intestinal B cells in people living with HIV. The study used samples from individuals with HIV to examine B cell patterns, antibody responses, and how microbes interact. It suggests that larger studies should be conducted to confirm these results. So, what I do want to kind of like italicize and underline is the fact that this study focuses on the risk as associated with HIV and the body's ability to fight off HIV may be decreased because ART was started later and these problematic B cells are more prevalent. However, I'm interested not just in how it affects the body's ability to fight HIV, but everything else, like it says, bacteria in general. I've certainly talked about my gut health in previous videos and in posts online.  I frequently struggle with gas and other kinds of discomfort, constipation, diarrhea, what have you. These are the kinds of risk factors and comorbidities that need to be studied further so we can hopefully begin to mitigate and treat these conditions in those of us living with and thriving with HIV. Number three, contagion live rejected claims for PrEP linked to new HIV diagnoses. In a recent study presented at ID Week, ID stands for Infectious Disease Week 2023, researchers delved into the real-world impact of obtaining pre-exposure prophylaxis PrEP for preventing HIV infections in the US. The investigation led by Dr. Lee Tao assessed patients' ability to access PrEP, the time it took to receive it, and its potential connection to HIV risk. Analyzing data from over half a million individuals, that's a lot, they categorized them based on PrEP claims status. Those who faced rejection or abandonment of claims had significantly higher risks of new HIV diagnoses, emphasizing the importance of overcoming barriers to PrEP prescriptions. The study also highlighted demographic differences with cisgender men having the lowest new HIV diagnosis rates, underlining the need to address disparities in PrEP access to curb HIV transmission effectively. Imagine that if you reject the opportunity for people to safeguard their sexual health by not allowing them to start on PrEP or by making it access so cumbersome and so difficult that they give up on PrEP, they're more likely to consequently get an HIV diagnosis. Who to thank? I was curious to see who would initiate such a study, whose findings seem like such a given, so I looked up the first author on the article and it was Dr. Lee Tao, and she is the director of real-world evidence at Gilead. You know, some of these studies I find to be so obvious in their outcomes, so it's just interesting to kind of get an idea or a perspective of why this study was done or who did it. And so seeing Dr. Lee Tao, part of Gilead, it makes sense. Gilead also manufactures PrEP. That is, I'm not saying that there's anything like insidious or malicious there at all. In fact, I think it's a powerful resource to have this data and this study in light of the current political climate in that there are people actively trying to prevent health insurance coverage for things like PrEP, especially here in the U.S. And I imagine that that is and will continue to be a problem, not just here but elsewhere in the world with the increasing politicization that's happening lately. So thank you to Dr. Lee Tao and thank you for Gilead for putting this data into a study that's irrefutable. Number four, UNAIDS. UNAIDS welcomes new decision in Colombia, allowing more affordable access to quality HIV medicines. The government of Colombia has declared the HIV medicine as a matter of public interest, allowing them to issue a compulsory license and break the monopoly on the medication. This move is a significant step in public health, potentially reducing the price of the life-saving medicine by up to 80%. That's eight zero percent. The World Health Organization recommends Dalu-Tegravir as a preferred HIV treatment and this decision in Colombia could have a positive impact across the region. By making the medicine more affordable, the government aims to treat 28 people for the same cost allocated today for treating just one person. This decision is crucial for expanding access, especially considering the high HIV prevalence among Venezuelan migrants in the country. It not only saves lives in Colombia, but sets an example for other middle-income countries facing similar challenges and accessing crucial health products. The article states that quote the World Health Organization recommends Dalu-Tegravir as the preferred first line and second line HIV treatment for all populations, as well as being effective treatments incorporating Dalu-Tegravir based regimens have demonstrated greater adherence due to fewer side effects while presenting enhanced safety and reduced likelihood of drug resistance and quote. I didn't know that this was an option, but that's great to hear that Colombia was able to get this past and will be able to either manufacturer and or purchase the generic version of this drug to help so many more people. Number five, DevEx. As resources for HIV dwindle, tensions grow at UN AIDS. Funding challenges threaten the effectiveness of UN AIDS with donor contributions declining and tensions rising over budget allocations. The Multilateral Organization Performance Assessment Network, MOPAN, report reveals growing concerns among donors and co-sponsors about the allocation of resources accusing UN AIDS of quote mission drift, end quote. The secretariat's focus on global advocacy beyond HIV related issues has raised tensions impacting relationships with co-sponsors. The report recommends a reassessment of UN AIDS structure and collaboration mechanisms to address the funding constraints and ensure a more streamlined and effective response to ending AIDS by 2030. The need for dialogue between the secretariat and co-sponsors is emphasized along with the potential shift of some functions to other entities and a more focused vision for the joint program's future. I don't know if there's politicization going on here like with PEPFAR reauthorization here in the US and politicians opposing it are not allowing the reauthorization to happen because they are claiming that it supports abortions in other countries although I think that claim is very shaky. I don't know if that's a concern here that there's politics involved or if there's legitimate, like it says, the secretariat's focus on global advocacy beyond HIV related issues because if UN AIDS, if their directive is specifically to target HIV aid I do wonder because with HIV because it's so specific and then we've talked about this before, Dr. Monica Gonda, we've talked about it with her the idea of a wraparound care and that there are so many components that contribute to successful treatment and adherence and support for people living with HIV. It's such a tricky thing and there's so much involved making sure that people have housing needs met, food insecurity, financial insecurity, mental health support, dealing with stigma and things like that and being able to have transportation to and from healthcare facilities and so many things that combined lead to better health outcomes for people living with HIV. So I couldn't see how the secretariat at UN AIDS would want to focus on maybe some of these other things. I don't know enough so I'm not going to comment too much but there you have it, something to keep an eye on and I'm noticing now it just in general with the world and how much there's a lot of volatility going on in the world economically, financially, with governments, there's social uprising, there's like more wars happening, there's so much going on. I have a very strong gut feeling that as time moves on into this era, whatever this is that's going on, there's so much upheaval and volatility in the world that more attention and more focus is going to be on the current established funds for things like HIV and other things around the world and there's going to be a lot of scrutiny and there's going to be a lot of fighting over it. So it's good for us to keep an eye on these things and see how they progress and I will be covering all of that here. So stay tuned. Number six, the Lancet online distribution of HIV self-testing kits to promote HIV testing among men who have sex with men, discontinuing pre-exposure prophylaxis after demonstration project completion in China, a multicenter open label randomized control trial. Who writes the titles of these scientific journal articles? I swear these run on sentences that get me so bamboozled and confused. Researchers conducted a study in China to explore the effectiveness of HIV self-testing abbreviated as HIV ST self-testing as a prevention strategy for men who have sex with men. MSM discontinuing pre-exposure prophylaxis. The China real world study of oral prep project involved a randomized control trial with 620 participants. The intervention group received online access to free HIV self-testing kits while the control group received information about free site-based HIV testing. So one received online access to free HIV self-testing and the other one was given information about places they can go to get HIV testing. Results showed that the intervention group had a higher proportion of participants undergoing HIV testing at both the three month and six month follow-up periods. The study suggests that providing online distribution of HIV self-test kits effectively promotes HIV testing among men who have sex with men with prep discontinuation offering a convenient and confidential testing option. The findings highlight the potential of digital approaches to improve access to HIV testing for at-risk populations. Providing ease of access and convenience to something gets a better outcome. Who to thank. But again, it's good to have this data to refer to in future arguments, debates, etc. when when those things are being considered. I wondered for the longest time, why don't we under at least here, I'm just talking about the US because that's what I'm that's what I have experience with. Why don't we in the US have access to HIV self-testing kits online that we can order to our home in an anonymous package knowing, you know, we have our privacy and that is covered by healthcare covered by our health insurance. We should be able to go on a website, one to click something, get a test kit sent to our home as needed, take the test at home, get the results and wham bam. Thank you, ma'am. If you do have a positive, then you can do a follow up at a clinic. It's said or what have you talked to your talk to a doctor or healthcare professional. I know it's a little more complicated that that, but at least have the opportunity to do that. There are so many people who won't go to a healthcare center to get tested because of stigma or because they're scared or, you know, the clinical setting can be intimidating or they don't want to be seen by their peers.  What was, what was right you doing at that clinic? That's weird gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip, you know, things like that. Those are real world practical concerns that people have and being able to get something in the mail anonymously covered by health insurance wipes that out. Why don't we have that yet? Number seven and final article cell reports medicine HIV one neutralizing antibodies provide sterilizing immunity. Ooh, and I am going to get back to that word because I don't like it. Let me, let me start that over HIV one neutralizing antibodies provide sterilizing immunity by blocking infection of the first cells. In this study, researchers explore the ability of neutralizing antibodies targeting HIV one ENV to prevent infection of the first cells during mucosal exposure. They developed challenge viruses based on Simeon immunodeficiency virus Simeon is nonhuman primate version of HIV SIV that initially use HIV one ENV for entry into target cells but then switch to SIV ENV antibodies binding to HIV one and were found to effectively block HIV one and mediated infection events after rectal exposure in nonhuman primates. This suggests that such antibodies may reduce the number of first infection events potentially providing quote sterilizing immunity and quote. I believe what this is saying and this is the summary of the article. This is even like simpler than that and I'm still it's still very confusing. I apologize for that. Some of this stuff is very hard to translate. They're saying they in in the rectum, which is within the anus the inside of the buttocks area, they were able to have neutralizing antibodies that prevented HIV infection at that mucosal level at the surface level and therefore it was never able to go inside the body and begin infecting other cells is what what I'm taking from this now about this word. Now you won't hear me personally using the term sterilizing immunity or sterilizing cure. I stay away from the word sterilizing. It's part of our stigmatizing language document that the MDC's or Martin Delaney collaboratories. It's the 10 collaboratories I've spoken of previously. I'm in the hope collaboratory that what we have put together is this document that is a suggestion for the scientific research clinical medical community to consider not using certain language when they are writing these articles and science speak and what the suggested alternative would be. So in this case, a sterilizing immunity. It's like why why doesn't need to be sterilizing immunity? Why can't you just say provides immunity? It's that that gets the point across sterilizing is very confusing. It implies sterilization in terms of fertility in terms of your ability to have children. And even recently, I've covered this in my weekly news articles, females in certain parts of the world who are living with HIV have been sterilized from no longer being able to have kids without their prior consent without their knowledge. That is a major crime. It's happening. It has happened and it continues to happen in parts all around the world to women living with HIV. They're being sterilized against their will. That is a huge problem. So this language is therefore problematic when you're associating with HIV, something so closely related to horrible events that are going on in the world, especially if a vaccine or a cure is developed. And it is labeled as sterilizing. I mean, can you can you imagine the rollout of such a treatment and how that could snowball? Oh, there's a sterilizing cure. There's a sterilizing vaccine in all the conspiracy theories that would grow out of that the distrust or at the very least resentment by different communities. It's clumsy. It's confusing and it's insensitive. Anyway, back to the article, preventing infection of this this first cell line is crucial as it avoids the formation of latently infected cells. We've talked about this and reduces the risk of emergence of antibody resistant mutants, making it a promising mode of protection against HIV. So you can have HIV transmission that happens that happens to a person or in this case, a nonhuman primate. And as long as the HIV doesn't go inside a cell and become latent, then something like PEP post exposure prophylaxis can wipe out all the HIV and you will be fine. But once those latent cells, once the HIV goes into cells and it becomes latent, it goes dormant, it hides, then no amount of ART is going to help you get rid of those cells. That is the problem. That is why we don't have a cure yet those latent cells. So this specifically is talking about preventing the formation of latently infected cells. So that's a great thing.

Formal Instruction If everyone is constantly learning, and each child's life is his education, why the need for formal education? The need for formal instruction stems from the fact that a child's faculties are undeveloped and only potential, and that they need experience in order to develop. In order for this exercise to take place, the child needs the environmental materials on which he can operate, and with which he can work. Now it is clear that for a large segment of his general education, he does not need systematic formal instruction. The space is almost always available for his physical faculties to develop and exercise. For this, no formal instruction is needed. If food and shelter are provided for him, he will grow physically without much instruction. His relationships with others, members of the family and outsiders, will develop spontaneously in the process of living. In all of these matters, a child will spontaneously exercise his faculties on these materials abundant in the world around him. Those precepts that are needed can be imparted relatively simply, without need for systematic study. But there is one area of education where direct spontaneity and a few precepts will not suffice. This is the area of formal study, specifically the area of intellectual knowledge. That knowledge beyond the direct area of his daily life involves a far greater exercise of reasoning powers. This knowledge must be imparted by the use of observation and deductive reasoning, and such a body of thought takes a good deal of time to learn. Furthermore, it must be learned systematically, since reasoning proceeds in orderly logical steps, organising observation into a body of systematic knowledge. The child, lacking the observations and the developed reasoning powers, will never learn these subjects by himself alone, as he can other things. He could not observe and deduce them by his own unaided mental powers. He may learn them from the oral explanation of an instructor, or from the written testimony of books, or from a combination of both. The advantage of the book is that it can set forth the subject fully and systematically. The advantage of the teacher is that, in addition to previous knowledge from the book, he knows and deals with the child directly, and can explain the salient or unclear points. Generally it has been found that a combination of book and teacher is best for formal instruction. Formal instruction therefore deals with the body of knowledge on certain definite subjects. These subjects are, first of all, reading, so that the child has a superb tool for future acquisition of knowledge, and as a later corollary, the various language arts, such as spelling and grammar. Writing is another powerful key in the child's mental development. After these tools are mastered, instruction naturally proceeds in logical development, reading to be spent on such subjects as the world's natural laws, natural science, the record of man's development, his ends and actions, history, geography, and later the moral sciences of human behaviour, economics, politics, philosophy, psychology, and man's imaginative studies of man, literature. Writing branches out into essays on these various subjects and into composition. A third elementary tool of great power is arithmetic, beginning with simple numbers and leading up into more developed branches of mathematics. Of these fundamental subjects reading is of first importance, and for this learning of the alphabet is the primary and logical tool. It has become fashionable to derive stress of the three Rs, but it is obvious that they are of enormous importance, but the sooner they are thoroughly learned, the sooner the child will be able to absorb the vast area of knowledge that constitutes the great heritage of human civilisation. They are the keys that unlock the doors of human knowledge, and the doors to the flowering and development of the child's mental powers. It is also clear that the only necessity and use for systematic formal teaching arises in these technical subjects, since knowledge of them must be presented systematically. There is clearly no need for formal instruction in how to play, in getting along with the group, in selecting a dentist, and the multitude of similar courses given in modern education. And since there is no need for formal teaching in physical or directly spontaneous areas, there is no need for instruction in physical education or in finger painting.


Let's start with Elijah Mitchell. He's the RB1 now in the San Francisco offense with Trey Sermon being a surprise inactive in week one. Raheem Moster gets injured. It was the Elijah Mitchell show for this 49ers offense. He rushed for over 100 yards. He had an 87% running back rush share in that offense. And honestly guys, he comps very favorably to Raheem Moster. He's not the biggest bodied running back in the world, but he's very, very fast. So even if Trey Sermon is active now that Raheem Moster is inactive and injured, I wouldn't be surprised if Elijah Mitchell is the 1A in that offense. So you want to snag him off the waiver wire this week.


How's it going guys? Welcome back to another JHR view. Today I have kind of a quick video I just wanted to kind of show off these nice wire cutters I got and They're just some basic wire cutters But I really wanted to see how well they did against some of the cords that I was working with I actually am working on kind of a retro project right now And I'll tell you guys more about that once I get closer to finishing it But let's go ahead and open these up and see how well they work for what I'm going to be using them for So these are what they look like It kind of has a nice kind of plastic key thing on the outside for grip Doing a pretty hard squeeze It has a little portion in here too. I don't know if that's for stripping But I think it's just for like a regular kind of grip So I have a little bit of wire over here and this is actually doorbell wire and it's really thick This is if you notice when I bend it it it bends and it keeps its shape and it kind of it's very tough It has a very thick piece of copper in the middle fight. Oh That was really easy. Oh look at that hardly any press Immediately comes off. Let me zoom in right there and show you that copper thing. I'm talking about if you look right here it has a Pretty decent sized copper piece right there and I'm kind of using these to hook up in Arcade kind of set of buttons on the inside of a project. I'm doing but Let's see if we wanted to cut two of these at the same time easy, I Don't think this is a stripper. No, it's not let's see if I Triple these up how well it would cut So this is four wires at once easy and Honestly, this is going to save my relationship too because I might have been using my fiance's fabric scissors to cut wire Don't do that But yeah, these work really good and I'll put them in the description below I know this was a short video, but I just wanted to show you guys and I hope you enjoyed and Thank you guys so much for your support a huge shout out to my patreon Thank you guys so much for your support.  I'll see you in the next video


Oh yeah, that's a mustache, which could only mean one thing. Good morning, Hank. It's Monday. It's pizza-mas. I don't really know how to change up the vibe from our community lowers the price of life-saving tuberculosis tests to pizza-mas, where we make videos back and forth every day like it was 2007 all over again while celebrating the seven minutes in 2008 when I had a mustache, but we're doing it. But of course, pizza-mas isn't just about my occasional mustache and constant love for pizza. It's also about e-commerce. And inside of this box is all of this year's pizza-mas magic, which I have not seen yet. So every year all of our proceeds go to charity because, you know, of course we can't live with ourselves profiting from pizza-mas, but this year the money raised is gonna be focused around tuberculosis. We've done a great job of lowering the cost of diagnostics and treatments, but now we need to get those diagnostics and treatments to more people. So that's what we're raising money for this year. We're gonna start with the T-shirts. I love it so much. So this is a Pizza John collab with Drawfee, and I love it. Look at that. And it's so great. Okay, what's next? I mean, I just absolutely love this. I love my face in it. Look at my enthusiasm for pizza. It's so real. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. I just love the T-shirts so much every year. How did this happen? How did pizza-mas occur? What is my life? It's my dream, Hank. It's my dream to one day be not just a postage stamp, but a Pizza John postage stamp. All right, I only have a couple more shirts to share with you this year. Look at this one. Oh, magnificent. Look at me. Oh, I should add that all of these shirts and indeed all of the Pizza-mas stuff is only available during Pizza-mas. You can only get it for the next two weeks and then it disappears forever. Pizza-mas.com or our new Pizza-mas app on your local app store. All right, this is the last shirt of the year. Look at me up in the corner as a baby, but I still got a mustache. Oh boy. I don't know what to say about this development except to say that it's a major work of art. But of course, Hank, it doesn't and can't end with T-shirts. Oh no, no, no, no. It has to include a phenomenal Pizza-John holiday sweater. Oh yeah, I mean, look at this. This is just excellent. You may remember that a few years ago we made this Pizza-John blanket, which is super comfortable and I love it so much, but this one is also super comfortable and I think I love it even more. You have to be shitting me. It's a cheese-a-John, a John that grows its own hair in the form of plants. This one you can only buy in the United States because it has seeds. All right, this is what I'm really excited about. It's Pizza-John's hot sauce. Now I'm not legally allowed to sell the hot sauce that I make with my mom because it's not made in a commercial kitchen, but this tastes pretty much like it. This is also only available in the United States because it's like technically food or whatever, but highly recommended. Oh, we've got a mug printed in Missoula that changes color when you pour hot liquid into it. I'm not telling you what color it changed.  This is a Pizza-John bath bomb.  Like so much like Dr. Pepper. Leave the dream, turn your bath into drpepperpizzamist.com. We've also got this badass oven mitt. You have to be kidding me. This cannot be real. It's a real neon sign. That's right, Hank. It's a fully functioning Pizza-John's neon sign. We've also got lots of different stickers and bumper stickers this year from the charming and funny to the exceptionally creepy. There's also so much other Pizzamist stuff this year. A pizza slicer, earrings, there's a stereogram poster, one of those posters where when you unfocus your eyes, a new image appears. You'll never guess what the image is. Actually, you will guess on the first try. Hank, Nerdfighteria, what a joy it has been to go through my eras with you. Hank, I'll see you tomorrow for more Pizzamist and potentially for your first ever mustache. Like, I think we're all curious which way it's gonna go. We know something's going to happen with the facial hair tomorrow, but everybody is waiting with bated breath to find out exactly what.


back and happy new year everyone good to see you all good to see you good to see you Leroy Raymond everybody on social media Facebook how are you guys doing welcome back to two thousand and twenty four isn't it awesome new year I'm so happy got rid of we had a nice rally in 2023 but you know what if you enjoyed it you didn't no problem with a startle over again but it's just good to see you all hope you everyone had a great weekend and you know running a new year now we're going to start a brand new slate and hopefully we're going to make it say you know make it a successful year like we always try to do it you know so anyway a lot of good stuff that happened on you know on the the Friday we had a couple of stocks it's a nice little crashes we're going to check out some of the some of the you know crypto stocks like a coin based all them great shorts on them but we're getting a nice rally right now on this LBPH now I was looking over here looking at some orders over here well I gotta fix something over here actually changes to 500 we got always there we go so we got a lot of decent orders that keep pushing the stock up right here on this LBPH we're going to check it out we're going to look at a level three and level four but you could see it nice little run at eight o'clock in the morning pharmaceutical stock you could see it went from six dollars up to 18 dollars stocks up 148 percent stock came back down built some big consolidation here around 1290 and boom look it just went up now we'll talk a little bit more about it you know the the price levels the movement all that stuff but let's talk about what happened on Friday first so there were a couple of stocks that made some really nice moves now this is what I was expecting going into a Friday afternoon we had a nice little rally on this FLJ you could see here around 115 it started building up some nice momentum once it broke the nine o'clock resistance levels right around the buck 80 thing made a really nice run up to 230 nice level one stock nice mover everything we're looking for this stock obviously took a very big hit you know the big fan of stocks that get hammered 15 dollar stock went down to a dollar that wouldn't work that pretty well another one which was probably probably the best one for Friday that we had was this sntg now you could see this one also came came a little late start a little bit late then we got around 10 o'clock it finally broke this pre-market resistance levels right around here let me blow this up a little bit bigger for you guys could see it so we broke this resistance levels right here let me hide this for you and once we busted that you could see that high was at 250 259 boom thing just took off like a rocket and went from 250 three dollars all the way to a whopping eight dollars a trade now listen if you come in here every day and I spoke to some of you a lot of you here and you just listen so I always ask everyone the same question when was the last time you were in a stock that was up 100% okay this stock wasn't up 100% the stock was up 300% 400% we find them every day so that's what's beautiful about you coming every morning on social media to watch us and also doing one of our trials because you never experienced it you just haven't looked at the right place or you haven't been trained by the right person and like we always say if you're watching on social media make sure that you give a thumbs up on it ring that bell and subscribe to our channel okay because this is what you get when you're part of ctu and been doing it for 30 years it's just when you see it's amazing when you see things like this and you know what you're gonna miss a lot of them you know but if you can get if you miss 90% of them you get that 10% at least is better than what you got right now but let's talk about some of the good shorts that we had so we've been running these stocks for a while coin has been doing amazing Mara's been doing amazing but they took very very big hits the big short was really nice was Mara Mara just eventually started coming down great 29 dollar stock it went all the way down up until one o'clock uh but right around here around till 11 came down to 24 dollars that is a big big beautiful short so listen if you think uh uh shorting is dangerous options is about five times more dangerous than this it's the same same concept we make a lot of money on shorts and this is what basically we have now they're up today okay I don't know if you I don't know if it's still is it still up yet yet is bitcoin is up 2200 right now so I know this might have a little something to do with it but if you heard what I said it on Friday I feel that a lot of this is happening must be a lot of profit taking going on remember these stocks had some big rallies we were trading in November I mean this was at nine was this up almost 200% on a swing trade not even a day trade coin base you know we've all done well with that one started around 80 dollars stock ran to 180 I mean there have been some really really nice moves on it which kind of with the only weird thing about these two stocks right now with coin whatever is that coin did gap up pretty big but still coming back down it's still up a lot remember that the um I'm really looking forward to the news announcements that's going to be coming up regarding uh the bitcoin the bitcoin ETF and that's going to be coming up probably I think it's next week actually yeah so we're looking forward to that now let's go hop over and let's find out what's moving this morning let me change my screen layout and start and get into so you can watch level three and put this over here all right so we got this so let's go hop over really quick on LBPH so LBPH the big one runner up right now big mover problem with LLBPH and if you're a student of cyber trade university and you took the class last week the phase one the most important thing 50% and I'll keep repeating this over and over and over again half of you will fail in trading because you're trading stocks that are not tradable it's too fast for you whatever it is so we you got to make sure you watch that video over and over again remember when we train you when you do coaching with you you look at your journals we kind of always analyze what level you at you know are you ready to trade stocks this so this one don't misconstrued it and think oh it's a $15 stock I can afford it it is a category three or higher okay you can look at the tier size look at the spread so students you know traders out there if you're not in the category three stay away from it if you're new here at CTU should not be looking at at all but but if you do want to learn if you subscribe to the channel you can always come and join us and see how we will trade it but because you know what it's only going to get a lot more volatile when the market opens up remember I think like 80% of the people 90% of the people can't even trade these stocks in pre-market we can because we have the right system the right brokerage firm and that's why it's important that you know that because a lot of people wish they could have jumped on some of these stocks in pre-market don't know how to get in and out of them that's part of what you learn at Cybertrade Mercy City anyway that one's on the watch list what I would be a little concerned about there is a couple iceberg orders here at 16 you can see one right there right around 1200 and I'm getting basically doesn't sound like a lot that's how I know the stock is not tradable as much as some of you can and can't do it but but it is going on my watch list or some of you are more my advanced traders something a little bit more controllable something a little bit more less expensive not moving you know too crazy sngx now this one right here it's got some nice price levels but it kind of like flattened out it went from like 80 cents down to a buck 10 it's holding there it's got it's got a good spread everything else but it's not going to be a fast mover it's not terrible but it is up 34 percent this one's going on our watch list now remember it's the day after one of the biggest holidays of the year New Year's I just dropped off my son at school this morning and I mean there wasn't that many cars in the parking lot people are still away so even though the market is down 200 points right now there's not going to probably that much going on I hate you know me I hate holidays because it's technically a four days you know and we're not going to get hump day until probably Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday so that's we got to look at now let's go down and let's see what else we got going on this one's up about two million um trend doesn't look like it's doing too much right there I scratched that one out vygr uh this stock is up by 24 percent 1.5 million shares another pharmaceutical stock not really doing too much there's a pretty big-ass iceberg order right now at 11 20 let me bring it up over here and show you on my other one vygr so 11 20 see 4 000 okay on level four i'm seeing 14 000 okay so i'll just bring that over here you can see it really quick see that big big red line right there 14 000 because remember you got to understand that there are other ecns out there that other exchanges could be on this right now just looking at nasdaq it could be on a new york it could be on the cboe it could be on edgx but there are other orders out there that's why we kind of work with two systems to kind of see it but nasdaq obviously helps out a lot um by the way if you guys if you're watching on youtube if you ever want to know how to get the nasdaq book view or i know students here in cyber group already know uh just send me an email i'll be happy to give you the uh just subscribe to the channel so what you gotta do subscribe to the channel or just send me a quick little email out there okay all right so what we got so we got going on all right we're already that number five 18 percent not really a big trend this one not a really good trend it's been a good swing trade but not really moving that much not a lot of you know big big uh movements we're getting a little bit of a bounce on mara all right i'll throw a mara on there so we had you know we had the alert that went off this morning we had a couple of stocks a couple of minor stocks were moving too on the crypto side too remember i don't get nervous if you're new here like oh i don't know about these i don't trade them listen they're stock you're not trading a bitcoin everyone could trade them there's so many of them out there but they're also moving uh we did like wolf is a minor uh hiv ease a minor you know they're up 11 percent they've been up pretty big but maybe it could be some profit taking going on we'll see how they end up closing up a little bit but we did post that in the pre market at 9 a.m and like i told you if you logged in early you could see it on the top left hand corner but i'm not really seeing that much right now looking over here now looking at the losers what's going on you got this stock that took a big a little bit of a big hit right here avxl the stock had a great run up from five to ten took two months to get there and lost it all in one that one night this is why we do not hold over overnight positions what could happen if we're getting a dead cat bounce it looks like a signed stock probably there's a pharmaceutical probably gonna scratch that this one also down 10 bucks court i mean that's a terrible look right there but not doesn't look like pretty much bounce uh cngt we know why this thing is down i mean this thing had basically was probably a good short squeeze from two all the way to ten that's probably why it's down remember whenever we find a big percentage gainers really really big they always show up in the big losers id tx was a fun stock i remember this one right here when this stock ran from like nine to 70 yeah we blow it up that was a fun stock was in september that was a fun short squeeze let me tell you we have them there all all the time they always show up uh new york stock exchange we've got going on here sgn not really going anywhere i saw this stock too i'm not really seeing any orders anywhere even if i bring over here in nasdaq sgn like i said not look at not many orders out there at all okay even though we trade 4.3 million shares there's not a really lot of iceberg orders out there uh we're looking pretty good on boil um i don't know if you guys heard but there's a big snowstorm coming in northeast that might have something to do with it uh i got a nice swing trade on boil so that one hopefully that you gotta get gotta break passes 30 once you get passes 30 we could get we could look like move up to 40 but long term you could see how the stock is obviously it's been you know it's it's it's creeping up a little by little you know it's doing pretty well okay we fill in this gap fill right here but gotta get past that that looks pretty good all right but really not that much out there and it's expected coming back from new years now anything i'm missing that did not call out we'll go check back at mera really quick i know you just brought that up uh grant on the mera trade it's the second biggest volume leader mera here uh i mean it's got great orders i'm getting some big decent buyers out there but you know what by seeing coin going down and this going up i don't feel comfortable too much for us to kind of jump in them all right but a couple of big announcements really quick before we go remember today is tuesday uh we have traders talk we'll broadcast live on social media so you could always kind of you just make sure you subscribe to the channel give us a thumbs up and make sure you ring that bell uh if you're on the if you're on our youtube and facebook will also broadcast live but

around let's see what's happening but other than that just be very careful with some of the brand name stocks you can see apples down today you can see uh what else is down so far is when we've been trading tesla you know not really that much is going to go on let's not get too cocky but remember when the market opens up we always find something new so if we do it you see something you say

Good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to acknowledge that we're on the unceded territory of the Maki people, and I'm very grateful to be meeting with all of you here today. And I'd like to thank the elder and the drummers that started us off this morning, and the organizers for putting this wonderful conference together. And particularly, Jen, Jennifer Llewellyn, for such a particular woman. She has a towering intellect and a rock-solid integrity and amazing ability to be a model for feminist mentors and for teachers. And I think we don't have quite enough of that going on in the world, and more Jennifer, please. So I just want to say that visitors to Canada might not be aware that we're waiting any day now to have the announcement of an inquiry, the establishment of an inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. And this inquiry has been a long time in coming, and I just want to talk a bit about how it came about and how it illustrates the political and social context of Canada as a deeply racist and deeply racist culture that calls upon non-Indigenous pagans to educate ourselves and to address what unceded to be a horror environments. In 2002, I was an official observer of a truth commission in West Africa, and it prompted me to wonder why it is that Western democracies are so insistent that African nations must have truth commissions to address mass human rights abuses, while never folding one here. We never seem to want to have these processes at home, and we have mass human rights abuses galore. So I came back to Canada and worked as a lawyer again, but then I decided to go and do some graduate work on truth commissions. And I worked on truth commissions in established democracies because this sense of hypocrisy that I felt whenever I worked overseas was really bothering me. Canada's truth commission has wrapped up as of last year. We looked into the legacy of the residential schools in Canada over 100 years of stealing Indigenous children from their homes and their communities and forcing them to assimilate and lose their culture and their language and their heritage. And the call to actions that were issued by the Truth and the Consolation Commission last year, which I commend all of you to read, they're easily available at TIC.ca, and they don't all require government action. They require all of us to take responsibility for the implementation of them ourselves. And call to action 41 is a call for an inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. But it's important to understand why that inquiry came about. For many years, Indigenous women's organizations have been telling us there is a problem here. Our women are being murdered and they are disappearing. And Indigenous women do experience violence at many times the rate of non-Indigenous women in this country. The homicide rate is six or seven times higher for Indigenous women than for non-Indigenous women. And it hasn't declined over the years, whereas the homicide rate for non-Indigenous women has been declining for the last more than three decades. So until recently though, the official numbers of these murders and disappearances were not being capped. Police didn't collect the information on Indigenous victims and it didn't include the number of missing women. And some police forces, the main one in Canada being Malone Canyon Mountain Police, ICMP, simply didn't collect the information. So police also weren't investigating when families came and said our loved one is missing and crime weren't prosecuting. So even if they hadn't been known, I think we all know that the convictions for any of those perpetrators were not actually beginning up in the causes. And so the non-governmental organizations in the country, especially Indigenous women, started to collect the information on these women and creating a database. The Native Women's Association of Canada started a sisters in spirit project which created a database of almost 600 cases by 2010. And many civil society organizations like the one that I work for, we've started to call for a national inquiry. And in 2014, an RCMP report actually found the numbers were almost double what everyone had found. So almost 1,200 women missing and murdered. But our government at the time refused to see it as anything more than an individual criminal issue. It's not a sociological problem, I think, Mr. said. And the Minister for the Status of Women at around table last year said it's largely a problem of domestic violence perpetrated by Indigenous men. So it's true that Indigenous women are killed by their spouses just like non-Indigenous women are. But the stats also show that Indigenous women are almost three times more likely to be killed by a stranger than a non-Indigenous woman. So Indigenous women started turning to international bodies to get some help on this issue. And the Inter-American Court on Human Rights and the Committee on the Elimination for the Discrimination Against Women Convention, both reported that Canada has committed grave violations of our international human rights obligations. And yet the past government said, you know, this has been studied plenty. We don't need another report. Why would we have an inquiry? So we put together a member of the Legal Strategy Coalition on Violence Against Indigenous Women, that wonderful woman, a leader here in Nova Scotia, Chell Maloney, started after the death of a Hinnok student, a grad student here. The coalition said, look, let's review all these reports that the government's relying on to say that there's no problem. And we reviewed 58 reports for background table last year and determined that there were 700 recommendations about how to address missing and murdered Indigenous women, root causes, and so on. And almost zero implementation. So we said, look, we do need an inquiry. And my belief is that an inquiry is necessary to examine that resistance, to implementing known and recommended measures to address violence against Indigenous women. And we need to shift the narrative in this country. We need to shift the narrative of how non-Indigenous Canadians like to think of ourselves. We like to think of ourselves as the good guys, the human rights defenders.  So I think that a properly run inquiry can actually help us reshape our national narrative into one that is more honest and less self-serving. And the purpose of an inquiry is not just to write a report and make recommendations, its purpose is to be a catalyst for change. And this can happen if the inquiry is set up in such a way that it takes on a pedagogical role so that it can teach us in its very process as it goes forward how it is that Indigenous women are subjected to violence at a far higher rate than non-Indigenous women. And yet we do so little about it. So we need to ask these hard questions about the resistance of our society to honestly facing these systemic issues. And a well-run inquiry could stimulate that national conversation about the underlying causes that we can't afford to do more anymore. So an effective inquiry, I think, has to have two institutional design factors. Okay. Leadership and process are key. So an effective inquiry must be led by someone with integrity and vision and courage and compassion and fair-mindedness and commitment to independence and openness and transparency and the person must be respected and command the attention of the broader community and not just a subset of it to ensure the inquiry can fulfill its pedagogical potential. And that might be kind of obvious, but it really can't be understated. And of course my belief is that this inquiry must be led by an Indigenous woman and designed by an Indigenous woman. And an inquiry must also have a process that lends strength to that work and engages the broader community and creates knowledge and understanding through its very operations. So the result needed from the inquiry is being achieved well before the report is even written or the recommendations made. And I would expect that this group would be quite understanding with respect to how important the process is to achieve a just outcome. And there are ways to conduct an inquiry process that will enable people to feel that they're being heard and that will benefit the listeners. A section process will be effective with a clear media strategy that engages the public. They would hold public hearings that aren't lawyer driven and as a lawyer I can say it's important to not have lawyer driven hearings. Try to conduct them and witnesses first languages go to the communities, have different types of hearings and institutional hearings, community hearings, expert hearings and provide opportunities for civil society engagement and welcome independent research and make it clear that all the evidence that's heard will be valued. And of course I've supported this call for a national inquiry but I'm well aware of how easily such things can go off the rails and become wasteful and frustrating and miss its opportunities. And that's why it's critical that the government appoint the right people to do the job to lead the commission and shape the terms of reference in a way that will enable a meaningful inquiry to proceed. And of course all of this again must be done in consultation with indigenous women and their families. And I just want to keep in mind in the context of the last few years in Canada, we had an official apology in 2008 in Parliament for the residential schools and last year we had the call to action from the TRC but there's still this massive disconnect between our words and our actions here. The reality for indigenous people in Canada is not at all what it should be. We've had during that period of 2008 to 2015, the closure of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation of the National Association, sorry, National Aboriginal Health Office, the National Center for First Nation Governments, all these were defunded by our previous government. There were cuts to Sisters in Spirit Program that the Native Women's Association of Canada ran. The money got transferred to the ICMP by the way. In that period we had 151% increase in the number of federally incarcerated indigenous women, so 3% of the population, 32% of the federal prison population. That apology that the Ontario Premier gave for the Ontario Role in the residential schools a few weeks ago was, she was apologizing in the legislature as she should, but at the same hour we had a report released by on the ongoing effects of mercury poisoning in the grassy hours of First Nation. So this is structural violence, right? And it's an inquiry that needs to make a connection between the systemic issues of colonialism, including the residential school agency that led to the missing and murdered women. If the reconciliation narrative is to have any chance of overcoming the difference that we have to this violence we have in our society. We know in this country that there are well over 1,100 missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. What we need to know is that they are missing and murdered because they are indigenous women and girls. And I believe as non-indigenous members of the society we have an obligation to educate ourselves on the work to be done and commit to supporting the work that must come and to name and understand and challenge violence against indigenous women and girls and connect these dots, be willing to face the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and our society if we're to be serious about reconciliation. So we need to face the reality of deeply entrenched racism and sexism in our society. And think of how we treat indigenous women but also think about the structural matters, the governance, the treaty implementation, the education, the implementation of recommendations from the treaty commission. We can't just keep ignoring our own complicity here. And I just wanna say that finally we can't forget that this inquiry arises from the loss of well over 1,000 women, each of whom should be honored as a human being with a family and a life and the right to live without violence. And if we're to be a country that we wanna think of ourselves as, then we need to do this work. Thank you.

Our culture here at Stevenson Women's Basketball, we are looking for dedicated players that want to work hard on and off the court. We want successful people in the classrooms to be able to go out and make a difference in our world. We've had some success over the years with players graduating, becoming nurses, going into the business field, going into the athletic world, going into criminal justice, and we're very proud of those alumni. We've been able to enjoy success over the past seven years on the court. We're inviting more athletes to come out and continue that success with us, as well as moving forward into their careers to make a difference. Our culture here is we want to be a family. We want you to come in and be together, work together, care about our community, and help go out and help us change the community as well. The expectations here as a Stevenson Women's Basketball player is high.  The coaching staff here at Stevenson cares about all of those values, and we want to make sure that we have student athletes that are going to uphold those same values. We promise to work as hard as we ask our athletes to work. Our expectations are that as a team, we strive to get a 3.6 GPA as an overall team, and we work hard for that every day. We have mentor programs among our staff to our athletes to make sure that we are achieving those academic goals. The standard and expectations have been set by our alumni. They have come in here and taken this program to new heights, and every year it continues to get better. The one thing that we're still trying to go after is a national championship. We have to continue to bring in student athletes that are willing to get us there. Our team is a family on the court. I think that you can tell by the way that we play. We play together, we work hard, they cheer for each other, and I'm very proud of that. But off the court, we are a family as well. We do a lot of different things together.  We had a cook-off last year and broke up into groups, and everything's always competitive, but it's always fun. So we just want to continue that tradition. So if you are the type of player that wants to come in, have a good time, work hard, take us to the next level and be committed to the culture that has been set prior to this, we welcome you.
