Hey coach, how's it going? My name is Ben Neighbors, and I'm the creator here at buildmysportsbiz.com. This is where we help coaches take their idea of private basketball training, turn that into a business. So today I'm going to share three lucrative ideas that are going to help you take your training business to the next level. And from my experience, we've already helped a lot of basketball coaches already. These are the three best ways to grow your business, all right? So number one, this all comes down to private training. So with private training, it's not about how many players you can train during the course of a month. It's about how can we build monthly subscriptions, and you want to treat your business the same way as a gym membership. And this is the number one problem I see coaches make, not only in basketball, but in all other sports. Instead of looking for the transactions where you have to go month after month after month, and you have to continue to sell yourself to the parents, what you want to do is have this set up where it's automated online. Personally, I use a system called Kajabi, and if you go to my website, if you go to buildmysportsbiz.com, and you click on the resources tab, you'll be able to see exactly how we take payments, exactly how we create our websites, how we do all of our marketing. That is a very simple system, and I advise you to start using that. So with private training, you want to rethink how you are doing that. It's not going to be you having 50 clients one month, and then you having 20 clients the next month. You should have a stable clientele base that you have month after month after month, because now you are attracting committed clients. That is number one. Number two is with your camps and your clinics, you can do the exact same thing, right? So you could have camps that are monthly camps, and that could be a recurring subscription. This way, you're not having to find new clients every single time for each camp that you do. All right, and the way that you can set that up is by doing very simple videos on Facebook or on Instagram. You can do some email marketing. This way, you can have this set up to where at the beginning of the month, let's say you want to, you know, start marketing this at the beginning of every month. You could have your camp at, you know, it could be the last week of every single month. At the beginning of the month, you start marketing yourself to where you're building these monthly subscriptions. So by the end of the month, you have these camps filled out, and that will allow you to not only set up, you know, one camp, but you could have multiple camps depending on what are the age groups of the players that you like to train. So you could have a high school camp, a middle school camp, and an elementary camp. You have three camps basically all in one day and build out monthly subscriptions rather than having to sell one off camps. Again, you know, that is another problem I see coaches have.  OK, and here's another great revenue stream, especially if you help basketball players that are in high school. So a lot of high school players, they want to get to college. They want to learn how to get recruited. They need help with that. Their parents need help with that. So you could be the go to resource. I've personally done this within soccer for the last around eight or nine years. What I do is I target high school players. All right, I do this in soccer. You could do this in basketball. And I help their families figure out how to get recruited to go play college soccer. In your case, it'd be college basketball. And you can turn that into a service. So what you could do, you could have, you know, throughout the month, you could have a night where you have multiple families come meet with you and you walk through the recruiting process. I know there's thousands of services out there that try to help parents and kids with that. But why can't you do that? That could be something that you could easily do if you have the experience of helping kids get to the college level. And instead of just showing people how to do that within your program, that could be an extension of your program and that could be really just a business on its own. So if you think about it, we have private training. You want to turn that into a subscription. The camps and clinics, you want to turn that into a subscription. And then with a college consulting, that could also be a subscription that you could start adding into your basketball business. So I hope this helps you out.

Everybody needs to understand this there's two ways to make money only two never forget this don't ever let anybody tell you There's three four five or six. There's only two Listen hold on listen to me. I'm gonna tell you guys a secret I never told anybody and it's this you control your time.  I need you to do me one favor I need you to realize that we all get the same 24 hours all of us Someone doing better than you doesn't have more hours in a day than you they're more efficient with their time One of the ways that I am able still to this day to grow my company Lightning fast and to do what most people couldn't do in ten years and do it in a couple months is for one reason I understand efficiency of time now. I want you to understand this. Okay, do me a favor. Please please please please Draw a line and I want you to draw a line and I want you to make it like a ten-year line like year one You're two year three or four year five years six or seven all the way to ten So it's gonna look like this just in case somebody gets confused. I need you to do this You see this line see this line. Okay. I need you to start with one and then go two three four five six seven eight nine ten This is ten years over here. Okay. I'm gonna show you I want everybody right now to pay attention really close attention to me I'm gonna change your life if you'll listen to me sort of guy see this What if I could show you by the way What if I could show you something that would take everybody else in the world ten years to accomplish? I could show you how to do it in one year and I could save you nine years Well number one, okay Jordan I'd say how old are you and Jordan Jordan under me real quick when you give you an example Okay, Jordan Halberts 24. Could you imagine being 34 years old having to wait to make a million a year no ways No, no, dude. You got you're married. You got kids.  Yeah, I'm more on your plate, right? I was talking to Evan was over here a little bit ago and he just had his son, right?  I want to tell you something now. You have a son now You got to wake up. You got it. You got a feet a mil tonight.  I said those are things that you didn't have a year ago Don't you wish you to train a little harder a year ago? He's like man I didn't think about that and now he's like well pretty soon.  I mean guys listen to me. Listen to me Everybody do me one favor you guys want to figure out how to give me a number? What do you want to make 600,000 if I can teach you guys to make $600,000 would you do what I said to do? Yes, or no, okay, everybody do the math What do we got to do to make that happen right down the average commission in your store right now average commission? If you're flat right down your flat like listen if you sell 20 cars a month the patient 500 car right down 500 car Okay, here's what I need to know if you want to make 600,000 here's what we got to do How much money do you got to make a month? Let's just do the math. Well 600 divided by 12 is what somebody give me a number 50 grand it's pretty easy, isn't it? Everybody write this down. I will never out earn my own self-worth I will never ever out earn my own me Self-worth as I'm telling some of you guys right now to write this down The freaking problem is you don't think you're worth it and that's a problem I wish I could just just reach to the damn zoom meeting and just choke you out so that you could realize you're worth it Does everybody agree that you'll never out earn your own self-worth? So I need you to do me a favor.  Okay, do me a favor. Okay, listen to me What's the average commission in your store? What is your flat? Take that average commission like I'm gonna give you an example Dustin high tower. He's with us on the call. He's a GM. Dustin. He's still with us Dustin what's your average commission in the dealership right now roughly Okay 650 divided by 50,000 and you said before bonuses so it can go up in the end But how many cars is that? No, no, no, I want to know this if the salesman wanted to make $50,000 in your store Yeah, yeah, Dustin big I want to make 50,000. He wants to make 50 the average commission is 700 Let's just say let's just say 700 700 divided by 50 is how much what do we got there? How many cars would you have to sell? Do you say 70 Everybody watch we hear that number and you know we say Hey, hold on hold on The key thing is we need to work on our gross profit. So basically the sales people right now exact Exactly no listen what Dustin just said everybody listen to me Everybody needs to understand this there's two ways to make money only two never forget this don't ever let anybody tell you There's three four five or six There's only two number one to increase your units or number two raise your gross. That's it There's two ways. There's two ways. Okay, and but I want to go over this with you I'm using Dustin's numbers Dustin said a guy would have to sell 70 cars now listen some of you your commission in your stores like 1500 some of its 700 They're all different. Okay, so I need you to do your own math. Do me a favor 50,000 divided by the average commission which I said average. I know you guys ain't average So let's just say we're using average numbers here. It would be 70 now. Listen, let's do some math Okay I'm gonna take a Jordan Jordan do me a favor if you worked for Dustin Hightower and the average commission is 700 in his store. He said you'd have to sell 70 cars, right? Do me a favor 70 cars How many days did you say you worked a month? 73 70 divided by 23 is what like two like two cars a day like two ways of three cars a day Is that right you guys ready? You guys ready? How many days do you work? How many hours you're working a day 10? And and how many hours does it take you to sell a car? Okay Three times three is nine. So if you sold three cars a day every day it takes you nine hours Is that possible yes or no? Yes. All right Now you asked me one question you say Andy How in the hell am I gonna sell three cars a day every day? I'm gonna tell you right now and I'm gonna show you and I'm gonna ask Who's willing who's willing to take action to do with me? Okay? Everybody write down a date write it down June Six Everybody write down that date June 6th. Does anybody know what day do they know what's happening June 6? What's happening June 6 because listen to me? We're about to start airing this and then we're cutting it off and explain to you what this is Everybody write this down June 6. I'm doing the boiler room event. You say Andy.  What is that? Well, let me explain what it is. I just went into lithium motors I train with the other bunch of their stores I go into lithium motors and they're trying to set appointments I said how many appointments do we set on average per day in this store?  Let's go print list. Give it to me now Guess what happened one hour later. We got over 200 appointments. How does that happen? Because I'm in the room. Nobody gets around me. It doesn't happen. Now. Here's my deal. I created something called the boiler room It's a once-in-a-lifetime event. I'm gonna do it now imagine this I want to ask you a question Okay, Mike Simpson Imagine if I had you print a list of all the people that bought a car in 2019 I don't care anything about them. Just print the list print the list I need a name I need a phone number Mike imagine if I sit next to you and you dialed the phone And I told you what to say you said what I said I trained you to be deadly on the phone and if they said no I grabbed the phone from you Mike And I actually handled it myself and set the appointment for you.  No social media. No social media no closing no overcoming objections Nothing. I'm gonna teach you how to use the phone. I'm gonna call with you I'm gonna show you how to do it. We are doing a live training event Live in Scottsdale, Arizona here. You guys want to make a million you want to make 600 grand You want to get out of the place you're at now? If I can teach you to do this one time Can you do it for the rest of your life? Yes or no? Yes? Do you follow Bradley guys? It's Andy Elliott right here in my conference room in Scottsdale, Arizona We are putting on the event of the year June 4th entrepreneurs salespeople Closers business owners you want to build a sales team and learn how to close anybody anytime any place anywhere This is gonna be the event by the way Bradley isn't gonna be here like a speaker at most speaking events He's personally gonna be training from 9 a.m. To 4 p.m. Everything you need to know to triple your income this year and by the way This is an event that ain't gonna happen again If you want to be the best if you want to be so great at what you do you make your competition Look like freaking amateurs.

Let's go


It's very valuable, believe me. They're very far, very difficult to get hold of. So anyway, my subject is on motor neurone disease. I'm a clinical researcher based at the Western Clinical School at Westmeat and I've been doing work into ALS research for a period of time now. So we began with trying to study the motor cortex because there is a hypothesis that the disease begins in the brain rather than in the periphery and we subscribe to that hypothesis. And we've studied the brain and found some changes in the brain which are quite predictive for a diagnosis of motor neurone disease. And this is a loss of excitability in the cortex. It's called a hyper excitability. So there's loss of inhibition basically and perhaps an increase in facilitation. And this has helped us as a research protocol to diagnose ALS more early. So now the question is why does this disease spread? And this is the interesting question we're trying to answer. I have tried one modality which is again studying the motor cortex alone and studying it over different body areas, some of which may be affected at the time the person presents and some of which appear unaffected to try and understand what happens.  So that's where the thought came about how else can we study the brain. And we have explored a few avenues earlier. So some of them are going to be completely new and some of them have been tested earlier in small groups. And one of the modalities we will use is MRI to look at not just the brain structure but the connection between the various areas of the brain to understand what are the changes in the connectomes as we call it, the links between the different centers of the brain and will changes in these connections be the earliest indicator of a problem. So there is a large number of controls that we need to study and patients. And the second aspect or rather this will be the third modality that I'll use in order to understand progression of ALS and that will be a technique called TMS EEG where you stimulate the brain using a magnetic field but instead of recording over a muscle you record over the brain itself and then look at what happens with the potentials that are generated in other areas of the brain. So this might be another functional way of assessing the brain and we hope that with studying it using these three modalities of transcranial magnetic stimulation MRI and TMS EEG and studying a large number of controls to match the data we will be able to come up with the earliest changes that happen in sporadic ALS and therefore have ways of understanding why the problem progresses and can we do something about it. So thank you very much once again for the Brain Foundation gift.


Hello and welcome to yet another edition of Issues and Answers. I am Lucia's doctorate. Every year, the international community observes what they refer to as disaster reduction day. Generally, we refer to it as disaster risk reduction. And to talk about how, particularly in light of climate change, IDSE, and to talk about what our country, St Lucia, is doing, has been doing in terms of reducing the country's, and by extension, citizens' risk to disasters, I have with me three of our key technocrats within government. And to my immediate right, we have Nimo Sherry. She is from the Department of Infrastructure. In the center, we have Mr. Andrew George. She is from the National Emergency Management Organization, NIMO, and Mr. Peter Nobel from WASCO. So welcome to the program. Thank you. Thank you. In terms of disaster risk reduction, which is a big thing globally. And we have witnessed in recent times what has happened with Dominica. And even more recently, what has happened with Michael in Florida, the Florida Panhandle. How seriously is the Department of Infrastructure looking at this? How does it filter that, factor it into its programming? Well, to reduce disaster risk, the department have now focused or shift the aim in building back better. Improving the road infrastructure has to be more climate resilient. And we actually have initiatives, national initiatives within our budget to improve our staff in training and designing for disaster risk reduction. It's interesting you spoke about improving the capacity of the staff. Because usually, when we speak disaster risk reduction, we look at the major projects, the bridges, and maybe the hospitals, and so on. But we don't normally realize that this, the softer projects, like even building capacity, is critical to disaster risk reduction. Mr. George NIMO, well-known throughout the country. Fundamentally, how is it that you focus? What is your central focus and point in as far as reducing the risk to disasters in the country's concern? Well, for us at the national level, as you know, our responsibility is coordinating what happens in the country and in so far as preparing St. Lucia for a disaster event. As you rightly said, the focus has shifted from being a response agency into a more preparation and giving the countries and the communities a chance to prepare themselves for disasters. At the infrastructure level, they do the structural interventions to enable the country to get ready. For us, we do the non-structural, which is we work with the communities to put on drills, to put on training, to build capacity within the communities to enable them to have that better ability to deal with the disaster event. And also, we institute some of the early warning systems that are there to help also to help the communities get more prepared. And as you mentioned, the International Day for Disaster Reduction, which is celebrated on the 13th of October, this year the film was looking at the economies of disaster loss. And that is something now we have to focus on. How much is the country losing every time there's a disaster impact? When we do the damage assessment, you get a sense of how much the country has been damaged. But sometimes the loss, which is the loss of productivity, the loss of the agriculture sector, those take time to recover. So while the fields are down, the loss of livelihoods, all of that is a cost to the country. And every year, worldwide, billions of dollars are lost in disaster events. And once you start to focus on what is causing all those losses, you can now have a better chance of preparing so that you minimize those losses and to restore livelihoods, which is critical. Very, very important point that you made. Because, for example, and the data indicates that in 2016, internationally, there was about $306 billion worth of loss, which was twice, in 2017, by the way, which was twice what it was in 2016, which seems to indicate that going forward, the losses are going to be even more humongous. But water on Peter is critical. Well, it's pre-disaster, but particularly post-disaster. So Wasco has a very significant role to play when it comes to preparing and even responding post-disasters. What is your focus now, considering that we live in an era of climate change? Thanks, Lucius. The thing about it, as you just mentioned, is that we are very conscious now of the climate change issues and the climate impacts. And Wasco is very recently, actually, has been working through a CDB-funded initiative on building its own capacity in terms of addressing climate-related issues. We've just concluded an assignment called the Climate Risk Vulnerability Assessment and Preparing an Adaptation Plan of Action that looks at all aspects of Wasco's operations, how ready we are in terms of addressing the trends in climate change and what steps we need to take to be able to respond and to be in even a better position moving forward. And that exercise is about to conclude. And we are therefore going to have a roadmap, as it were, to guide us in terms of what we need to do, the investments we need to make. And as was mentioned earlier, in terms of some of the other softer aspects of vulnerability assessment and risk reduction in terms of capacity building, both for the staff and also in terms of contributing to national efforts in terms of our population as a whole and in terms of general awareness. So we are taking steps and we are certainly cognizant of the issues and we are putting ourselves in a position to respond. Great. It seems, generally speaking, that as a country, we are quite aware of what's going on and what needs to be done. And certainly from what you've said so far, it means that we are indeed taking steps incremental as they are, but certainly in terms of building and reducing our risk to disasters. Namely, we spoke about the soft projects and the hard projects, the buildings, the construction, but also the capacity building for the staff. What has been happening within your ministry in terms, as it regards building the capacity of staff to better be able to deal with issues, as it pertains to reducing the country's risk to disasters? Well, under the DVR project, which is the World Bank-funded project, there is a component there for capacity building of the department. Presently, there is a German consultant who's actually doing assessment of the department as to the inadequacies, what is missing, what training we require, what equipment and tools we may require to design more resilient infrastructure. So presently, that is ongoing. And after the assessment and the report, DVRP, there's also funding to purchase and procure these equipment and tools and training as well needed for the department. We agree. What has been happening within your own institution, Nemo, in terms of strengthening the institutional capacity of the individual staff on, by extension, the organization as well? We have made some strides in that aspect. Still, baby steps, but I mean, it's important steps to ensuring that the department has that capacity. We have now, particularly, we have 18 district disaster committees around the country where they are at the ground level, and their job is to ensure that the communities, because we want to start at one household, one community, one country, to try to get everybody to be as prepared as possible. And those district disaster committees are at the local level getting persons within the communities as prepared as possible. We have set up some early warning systems in certain communities. We also have what are called broadcast interrupts, where we can interrupt some of the broadcasts, some of the registrations to give out information on an impending event so that persons can get as much time as possible to evacuate if they need. We also now, in the process for this week, we're going to be reviewing our legislation to look at what type of laws we have so as to ensure that some of the laws we have, the last time our laws were reviewed was 2006. So we're now trying to see how to include some of the events, the climate change issues, into those, into those, because with climate change, it's expected that there will be more, not more storms, but more deadly storms. So you will have to prepare for those things. And we need legislation to give us some aspect of ability to do what we need to do. We have to rationalize issues to be all clear how the all clear is given. The national shutdown, we need to know how we shut in the country down. What time to shut the country and how to reopen the country after the event. All of those things have to be enshrined in law so to give us that capacity to do what we need to do. So we have to have a clear, less litigated agenda and we are trying out this week to review what we have and of course to make the recommendations to include what is not there. Okay, great is a good time to take a break but don't go fast, stay with us, we'll be back with you shortly. Climate change can change. We're all infected. If the climate change, we have to take water because of all the animals. When the sea is warmer, we have to find a place where the water is not polluted. We have to find a place where the water is not polluted and go to their side. This list of contributions in small gas in the space. When in the country, we can try to do everything we can to ensure that we lower the amount of gas we use to prevent the earth from getting warmer. And we have to lower the amount of gas we use to mitigate climate change. And we have to take care of all the water that is polluted with gas, oil and coal. And that's why the earth is getting warmer. That's what we have to do to make sure that the water is not polluted. We have to do everything we can to prepare and repair for the negative consequences of climate change. We all know that. For example, we can ensure that we protect all that we plant. The wild life that is natural will allow us to overcome damage as cyclone and goblins. We must build a channel for the people to see what is needed. We must build a channel for the people to see what is needed. We must do everything we can to continue to provide climate change. We must find information about the government's adaptation plan and the measures that are needed to protect the Earth and its citizens. Thank you so much for staying with us. I'm Bushes Doxery and we've been speaking about disaster risk reduction area the international community commemorates this day in October, October the 13th to be precise, but we are looking at what we are doing at home, what we are doing in St. Lucia. And thus far, it's very impressive in terms of the information that has emanated from our guests today. The DBRP, the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project, is about St. Lucia's premier disaster risk production project. And it spans a wide gamut of initiatives. So I'm just going to ask you, Naomi, I know there are not so many initiatives that the Department of Infrastructure is implementing, but in terms of oversight, technical oversight, your department has a great foothold in all of this. So speak to us, tell us some of the initiatives that you are oversight for. Well, on the DBRP, the Department of Infrastructure overseeing numerous projects such as hospitals, schools, road infrastructure. But just to name a few of them, we have completed was the Dennery Infant School, and also the Dennery Access Road, which is leading to the Dennery Secondary School, as well as the reconstruction of the kernels covered. But also to come, the Miku Wellness Center, Souffre Hospital, we have the Dennery Poly Clinic under there as well. There are a number of other initiatives under that project. Great. So there you go. In terms of the DBRP, in terms of how five tentacles go, there are a number of initiatives in the DBRP, and I'm happy that you mentioned some. To you, Andrew, in as far as Nemo is concerned, how challenging is it in terms of informing people as to how to best prepare in the event of a disaster, how to prepare for and how to respond for? What are some of the challenges that Nemo encounters, and do you have the capacity as an institution to unfold your mandate? Interesting. What we require from our people is some behavioral change, and that is the challenge. To get people to understand the need for understanding that disasters can have tremendous tort on life and livelihoods, and to understand for people to understand what it takes for our organization to enable us to give us that whole. Naomi was talking about the critical infrastructure that is needed. We use schools as shelters. So you need to have schools that can withstand the new climatic realities. So our police stations, fire stations, those are critical infrastructure that's needed post a disaster event. So you want to make sure that those critical infrastructure are there. Persons will be needing them after the disaster, so we need to make sure that those critical infrastructure are there. The challenge remains having individual persons take responsibility for themselves. As we tell persons, your home should be your first shelter. So you have to build in such a way that your home is able to withstand some of those climatic events. We are there as an organization to assist, and if you're not able to have your home, of course a shelter will be open to accommodate you, but that takes effort and that is a challenge in itself. Because once a shelter is open, the government assumes responsibility for everything that goes in there. So we have to have security, you have to have medical, you have to have everything. So we want to make sure that you are able to take care of yourself. So the behavioral change that is required to enable people to take on that initial responsibility is what is our challenge. So where we go out and we do the training and we do the capacity building, we do the trills. But I'm not saying I've been in the organization for the last 14 years, but I have seen slowly, but surely, the changes and the improvement that is necessary. I think people, of course, they see what is happening in other countries and persons are taking heed. And I think this time around, we've seen a change in the people when you say the author is not given, please stay home, people heed that. So that is a good thing and that is a positive sign that people are taking responsibility, people are understanding the impact of those events and what it can do to their lives. So once we get that continuing and people start taking that responsibility, then all the local pieces that we are putting in place will fall into place and Senatorsha will become as disaster prepared as possible. We don't want to have a state where we build back better. In fact, we want to build better before and this is what we want to do. So instead of waiting for the disaster event to destroy the country, let's build better before. I like the way you put it, because why is the tagline, the slogan for the disaster, the vulnerability reduction project, is building back better? I don't understand and appreciate the concept of building better before. This is very fascinating. I'm also heartened by the fact that you have said that you can see tangible changes in the way people are behaving. And some of the simple things that people can do is in terms of garbage, ensuring that they don't litter or ensuring that they dispose of the garbage responsibly. Some of the other things that they can do is to ensure that gutterings as much as possible on top of the rooftops. And some of the things that they can do as well is to ensure that they have proper drains to ensure that this water goes out. So there are lots of little things that we can do and based on what you are saying apparently that we are doing it. Wasco, critical, water is life, every drop counts when it comes to water. More specifically in terms of the DVRP, what is happening as it pertains to Wasco? Well, for Wasco, the main initiative under the DVRP is the redevelopment of the millet intake. Many people don't know that, but the millet intake is a source of water for the north that compliments the John Compton Dam. And the millet intake was actually there in use before the John Compton Dam. And it's still a very significant source of water. The good thing about the millet intake too is that it is a gravity feed, meaning that at the height at which it is, we don't rely on pumping. So all of the water from the millet intake literally comes to the treatment plant that is via gravity, which means it reduces our electricity costs. So the more we can get out of the millet intake, the less pumping we do and the less we need to rely on the John Compton Dam. So it's complementary and it's a significant source of water. So we had damage to that intake on the tropical storm Thomas. And we've been, so it has compromised the yield at that intake. And so we're now working through the DVRP to design a new intake that will take into consideration all the risks relating to the climate change. And that will in the end give us a better intake that we are able to rely on to assist in the supply of water for the north. So the DVRP is contributing significantly in that regard. Just quickly, where are we with this? Well, at this point we're doing a feasibility study and detailed design. We're quite advanced. A lot of the preliminary work has been done. And within the next few months we should be completing that, which would allow us then to go out into the construction phase, which would likely take place next year. Okay, the construction phase would be, take about? We're still working on that. We're thinking it may be in the region of a year, maybe 18 months, but that is part and parcel of the work we're doing now to determine how much it's going to cost and how we're going to do it and how long it's going to take to construct. Okay, great. I know that we kind of ran out of time now. It has been very fascinating thus far. And just to say, as it pertains to disaster risk reduction, and more specifically the DVRP or the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project, there are projects that has to do with the rehabilitation of the George FL Charles Airport, the projects that has to do with rehabilitation of the human or international airport. There are also projects that has to do with the establishment of polyclinics and so on. So it is really, as I said, all embracing. So as we come to the end, I'd just like to tell you quickly Naomi in about 10 seconds in terms of your work at the department. Generally, how do you really see it benefiting the public? Tremendously, it's actually improving our climate resilience. We're building back better infrastructure that could resist category five or four hurricanes, which are so predominant now. So we want to make sure we are capable. We have the capacity to be able to resist such climate changes. Yeah, and you, George? I would also say that, of course, in the last 2010, the last decade, most of the big events have been flood events and so hydrometallurgical events. So we have to cater for those. I mean, there's a lot of flood events, so people have to understand those events cost, livelihoods cost lives, so you have to prepare. The building codes is another one that will help people to focus on what they build and how they build. We have to take in the economic losses in the agriculture sector, the fishery sector. All those people are impacted by those events. And as climate change takes hold and as I said, climate change is a reality, it's happening, we contribute least to it, but we'll be impacted by the most of it. And as somebody said, we are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change and the last generation to do something about it. Thank you very much. We've come to the end of our program and I'd like to say thank you for those of you listening. We've been talking about disaster risk reduction and we've indicated that disaster vulnerability reduction project is one of the premier disaster risk reduction initiatives in St. Lucia. Thank you for watching. Until the next time, I'm Shadoksevi. Have a great day.


So you guys are probably aware of the fishing method where you can keep that focused fishing bar More or less full a majority of the time. Well today guys I bring you an even better version of this method. How's it going guys? My name is dpj and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see I want to see more be sure to subscribe So the way fishing works is with that focused fishing bar on your screen The higher that bar is the more and better variety fish you will catch Now to get this focused fishing bar off you need to fish and pick up those Fishes now the method that's floating about is what you do is you fish you fill up the bar or get that bar as high as possible And then you just start fishing and leave those fishes on the floor Do not pick any of them up because what will happen is a public event will spawn in and it wipes the Focused fishing bar meaning when you come back to that fishing spot or a different fishing spot The focus to fishing bar will have wiped meaning you have to fill it up again to get that better loot But the method is guys like I said you fill up the bar or just leave your fish on the floor Complete the public event then guys when you get that notification on screen Our new fishing pool has appeared you go back to that fishing pond and you pick up those fish Then when you go to that pool you'll notice that that focus fishing bar will have filled up or slightly filled up depending on The relative fish you picked up But guys they better method knew this what you want to do is go to that fishing spot and just fish away Don't pick up any fish the more people that do this if you're in a team the more people that are here that do This the better don't pick up any fish just fish away Just leave them there then guys when that public event comes in leave your fish on the floor Do not touch them go and complete that public event Then guys when it says a new pond has appeared a new fishing pool has appeared go to that new fishing pool Leave those fish that you left leave them on the floor do not pick them up go to that new fishing pool Here guys do the exact same thing fish away Fish loads of fish and leave them on that floor again That public event will come in go and do that public event do not pick up these fish Complete that public event then guys when it says a new pool has been found Go back to that previous pool and the one before that and collect all of those fish That means guys you have more fish to fill up that focused fishing bar So the more you collect the quicker that bar will fill up So as long as you leave these to stack in those fishing pools when you go to that new pond Your focus fishing bar will already be filled Then guys what you can do from here is just fish away But do not pick up any fish What so ever because these fishers will be of better rarity therefore less are needed to fill up that focused fishing bar To repeat this cycle so again fish away legendaries exotics Roads whatever leave them on that floor a public event will then appear in go and complete that public event Which you've done that wait for that a new fishing pond has appeared and then go and pick up all those fish Those better rarity fish and you'll notice when you get to that new pond your focus fishing bar will be much much higher in that progression mean you earn better quality fish it really is just a better method in the old method But it just makes fishing much much more efficient It may take a little longer in regards to starting to see that better loot But hey, it works great either way whether you allow fish to stack up one pond or two ponds It doesn't really matter but the more you're allowed to stack up when you eventually do collect them You'll notice that your focus fishing bar will be filled mean you'll see better results in those fishes And there we have it guys Guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you like what you see want to see more be sure to subscribe And hopefully guys I will see you on that next one


My name is Tambaletu and my surname is Sadie. I am 28 years old and I am currently a PhD candidate at the Northwest University and my research focus is on international trade and investment. So from the SATI program, I'm hoping to expand my network. This program is not only about taking, but it's all about sharing information, opportunities and getting to know people in my research field. For instance, today I've met with experts in my field. This platform offers that great opportunity for us to come together to share ideas about the problems of this country and how we can combat the problems. When you look at trade within African countries, it's below 15%. So I was like, what is going on here? What's happening? I wanted to contribute by doing research in the field, trying to explore exactly the costs and the benefit of the agreement in the South African economy and especially the agricultural sector of South Africa. I would contribute by publishing my thesis, communicating the output of my research with the public and researchers. Well I see myself in five years as an industry expert. I would love to see myself offering police advice that are related to trade and investment issues.


What's up everybody? It is Friday June 30th. Welcome to this week's video update. Got some exciting stuff to show you We've got this new members area. We just upgraded our entire site and alerts delivery platform So I really hope you guys like it Want to hear any feedback that you have good bad any suggestions would love to hear from you Let us know so this is a this is what it look like when you get into your when you log in and get into your personal members home page And you're gonna have a couple of different things over here on the left. You've got your welcome There's a welcome video that kind of walks you through your whole members area Vi premium upgrades. So if you want to You know by a specific course and we'll be adding additional stuff here We've got the alerts tab, which will show you our Past alerts. So these are all the alerts going back now From the other platform instead of having to manually copy all of those over I simply put a button down here at the bottom. It says previous alerts So any alerts prior to June 22nd just click on that. This will pop up You can see the date going all the way back to October of 2016 so all the alerts are right here if you need them But but let's just let's jump in to the alerts for this Oh, the other thing I wanted to show you on the on the alerts tab here. We also have our current portfolio So this will show you all the current positions that we have in place right now I know this has been a a request to kind of separate these two. So you get an idea of Here's our here's our current portfolio. We've got our past alerts. I showed you and then closed trays It's another big request that we've gotten So here's all the closed trades. So And they'll show what the total P&L was. So here's a wheat iron condor shows the Open any adjustments the closing all the exact trades copy copy drape directly from the platform total P&L And so you'll you can see those now. I've just just started doing those so just started in the month of June This button is is not not correct. Yes, it's still June But once once we get to the next month, I'll have all of our closed positions in the current month And then all past closed positions I'll have a button so you can direct to to see all past closed alerts, too So you can you can really track what the P&L is and really understand how we're making these trades and why we're Consistently profitable over time. So really hope that's helpful Let's jump into this week's alerts. So if we go to the past alerts tab and We'll start at the beginning of the week your weekly video update will also be posted here And so the first one was on Monday And that was an opening trade in wheat and we sold an iron condor and wheat So if we go to the platform and take a look now since since that alert we've actually We've actually adjusted that and so What we've actually got is Well, this is the this is the most recent alert that we put out today on Friday This is our new iron condor and then our adjusted alert Let's reset that We can pull those up. So we've got the So it breached our upside break even and So we closed out the untested side, which was the put side So we've still got this call side on so we need to move down to benefit that position But again, simultaneously, we put on this new iron condor And I did this with three contracts just to kind of help separate that because we're in the same operate expiration cycle of September so just to Minimize confusion our initial iron condor was two contracts. I did this with three We've got a max profit of 506 25 on this max risk of 993 so still in good position there Next alert we did was in was an adjusting and rolling trade in oil So we've got a couple positions on in oil or we did we had an adjusted one which which ended up being the 45 put in the 46 call that came into center Earlier this week. I think yesterday So we took that off and then we were still holding our other strangle in oil Which is excuse me, it's just this one here So still very centered not enough profit to take you off yet But if we get a little bit of a down move a little bit more contraction in implied volatility in oil We will take that off for a profit as well. If we took a look at IV you can see it's starting to creep down So, you know, we'll probably just take that off once we have enough profit Without adding another adjustment, but that's where we are in oil The the next trade was an opening trade we did a straddle in target And we did this with 23 days to expiration Which is less than that typical 30 days that we like to but we wanted to stay inside of earnings So we didn't we we didn't want to be in a trade that would have that expired in or after Their earnings announcement. So we wanted to beat that. So that's why we shortened up our time frame and with IV percentile at 81 Really nice IV a lot of a lot of juice in those a lot of premium in those options So we wanted to we wanted to get a position on in target So if we take a look at target, you can see implied volatility continues to stay high in there Sold that straddle still very centered not enough profit to take off yet. So we'll continue to monitor that one Next trade was in oil. So that's where we bought our other 4645 adjusted strangle back. So we already we already looked at that Next trade was in SPY. So we got a spike in implied volatility where it jumped up to 56 at one point. I think it was as high as 60. I saw it but we got in when I view percentiles at 56 sold an iron condor in SPY So man, is it nice to have some implied volatility back? We can get a continuation down in this market. We'll see some more IV give us a lot more opportunity to put on positions But anyway, we've got a got this iron condor here in SPY still very centered nothing to do there yet and Then our next trade was the adjusting trade in wheat that I already went over breached our upside breached our upside break even so we close our put side and then we added this additional iron condor So those were all the alerts for the week. Let's go back and take a look at some of our other current positions Move this down so we can see a little bit better So we've got our let's go to just the alerts here So we've got oil we've got we've got this position on in ES which is simply just a Put vertical and so we put this on strictly as a directional play last week And it's working out so far up about 180 190 bucks on this position so far But we really put this on purely as a directional play to add short Delta add a little bit of a short bias to our overall portfolio So we'll continue to monitor that and look for a little bit more downside before we would take that off in corn We've got a an iron condor in here. You can see prices kind of still well within our range And then we've got our other adjusted part of the other iron condor just the put side And you can see corn is just recently made a big move up here So we'll look to take this off early next week. This is in the August cycle Which just has 21 days to expiration our full iron condor has 56 days. So but this Originally came down breached our our breakeven point here So we took off the untested side now prices rally back up and we could take this off here I'm gonna look for a little bit more profit if we don't get it. I may take it off later today or potentially And early next week, but but we'll continue to monitor corn Soybeans we also have this iron condor in soybeans We need a little bit of a move up before we bank the profit in soybeans. We've got a butterfly in Costco This is pretty close to getting taken off Total risk on this was 622. So we want about a 20% profit 20 25 percent So we're almost there. Hopefully early next week if we can get some more Contraction in Ivy and Costco will be able to book that profit on that butterfly DIA we had an iron condor in in DIA Took that Took the put side off because it breached our upside breakeven now I'm just looking for a little bit of a down move to get out of the diamonds for a profit Microsoft working nicely not quite enough profit yet here I'd like to get about $200 profit about 50% of max profit if I don't get that early next week You know, we've only got now in the July. We've only got we've got 21 days Typically if it was an ETF or a future with 21 days to expiration, we would roll that out to August, but the problem is Microsoft has earnings when is that exactly on 720 so in 20 days from now so the options actually The earnings announcement is before the options expire. So we're gonna get out of this probably sometime next week Just just wait for a little bit more profit in Microsoft Then the cues we've also got this strangle in the cues What applied volatility obviously spiked up when we had this big down move and Continuation of down moves in the Nasdaq it continues to be the weakest link of the of all the indices although today It's up a little bit more Respectively than the others, but it but over the last couple weeks It's definitely been the weakest and as you can see implied volatility is much higher You know the percentiles at the 96 percentile So if we get a if we get more of a move Down, you know, we'll look to add another position on here or adjust as needed But we'll continue to monitor that and then in our ut we've still got this calendar So looking for an expansion and a little bit of a down move Expansion in IV and a down move in price in rut and we will look to get out of that or adjust as needed So hope that was helpful again. Give me some feedback on the new platform on the new site. Hope you guys like it We've got some new technology new courses a bunch of new stuff rolling out And this was kind of the first step to to getting that ready to go. So all guns moving forward now and You guys have a great weekend We will not be doing a Facebook live the navigation trading live event that we stream on Facebook and YouTube we will not be doing that on Monday morning due to the holiday Hope everybody gets to take a nice long high holiday relax Have some fun with the friends and family and we'll see you back here next week. Talk to you soon


So today what you saw here was those two teams doing a variety of training and advising with our partners here.  We're working through some critical tasks, individual movement techniques, weapons manipulation, those kind of things that really you can only train for real when it's real bullets going down. I think it's fair to say that the relationship between the United States and Djibouti is a strategic one. It's one that has strategic value to our country. And so that component I think is critical and that's what's really rewarding about this type of work is to be that daily contact and that daily handshake with our partners here is so critical. Yeah, so SBAB is the Security Forces Assistance Brigade. What we do is we partner with foreign nations and local forces in those foreign nations in order to train them and advise them and assist them in the mission set that they have defined in the country. This unit and this opportunity to be in the SBAB allows you to kind of take a different approach in the military that you don't traditionally see in conventional forces. So you get to work with foreign nations and partner forces in order to take the knowledge that you've learned throughout the years and really apply that to a wide variety of individuals and show them that the knowledge that you have is really beneficial and will in turn save lives. And they practice it daily and you can see the growth that they have and it's pretty great to see. Today what we accomplished was range estimation. The last couple days we've been running them through a couple drills utilizing the binoculars that they have and through some simple math by looking at a given objective they're able to gauge a distance based on what they observe inside their binoculars. Coming out here I didn't know what to expect and their share ability to learn something in the morning or the day before and they can come back and regurgitate that product to you almost exactly as you provided it to them. So yesterday we just went over the class and then today they've risen above the expectations that we've had coming out here. When you get out here they're all eager to prove themselves and they even come up to you afterwards and say hey we're understanding it today, tomorrow we'll have it perfect and so it's a really humbling and honorable experience to be a part of this.


Hi guys! This is my last video for the week and I just want to walk you through a couple things which is a variation on a theme we've already had this week by Ann Williamson, which involves making clay charms. Now this is just scrap clay. It actually was a few different colors. I've kneaded it together so much that it's just become this brown tan color and that's fine. I'm going to break off a blob and I am going to roll it out here. I'm working on this cookie sheet. This is a cookie sheet that's dedicated to crafting so don't use things from your kitchen for your crafting tools. I got this at the dollar store you don't need to spend a lot of money and this is polymer clay. I don't want it too thick but I don't want it too thin either and then once I have a piece that I think is going to work then I'm going to take one of my embossing folders and talked about this in her video and I'm going to take the deeper etched side of it if you've worked with embossing folders before you know what I mean and I'm actually going to put it like over this is a flower one I'm going to put it over the flower center and then I'm going to roll the clay into the embossing folder with my oops roller okay well good thing that I got a pretty good impression there because I got stuck to the roller so I ended up with that. I'm going to turn it pretty side up and I'm going to take my exacto knife and I'm going to cut a hand cut a heart shape and remove the extra clay then I'm going to take either my finger or I have one of these little clay tools with the little knobs oops little knobs on the end and I'm going to fix any issues with the edges make them a little less sharp with either the tool or honestly I found the easiest thing to do is just push around the edge slightly with my finger okay and you end up with something like that so I want to make a couple of them different ones I have one more embossing folder I want to do I have this one which is these are all juries folders they're really inexpensive and I so I like to buy them this is a flower one I have this one which is another flower one and then I have this swirly one which I want to do so let's roll out one more piece of clay I'm actually going to move that so I don't take a chance of damaging the hearts I've already got on there I'm going to put this on the embossing folder let's see which side is the I want to do this side if you do it wrong the clay is not baked yet so it's not a big deal oh yeah that's that's great look at that okay and I'm gonna I'm gonna cut this one over no I'm gonna cut it on the tree then I don't have to move it this piece in half might be able to get two hearts out of it which would be fantabulous the clay is not baked or dried or permanently formed yet so if you make a mistake it's not a big deal just pick it up wad it back up into a ball and try again I am going to fix can you see what I'm doing you can't see but I'm doing them off camera so I'm going to fix these edges here that are kind of funky down here at the bottom I'm going to try actually I wonder if I can so I don't necessarily want them to be perfect but I don't want them to be too rough either now of course if I had heart shaped cookie cutters this would be easier but I don't so the point of this is to use what you have and make things for your journals and your project projects using what you have I like that one and using the embossing folders leaves you with something more interesting than just a straight flat heart when we're all done don't worry about what color your clay is or anything like that because it doesn't matter and you'll see why so I'm going to cut one last heart then I'm going to bake these and I'll be back okay so I'm going to show you here what I did I already baked our clay pieces and now we're going to make molds of them if you don't want the texture of the clay itself to be in there which is going to give you a rough like almost stone-like texture in your mold then you probably want to coat this with some sort of glaze or polymer and let it dry really thoroughly before you make your mold I don't care about that so I'm going to be fine um and I'm going to show you first how to make the mold I'm going to take my um clay piece and my glue dots which are on the table somewhere I have a little strip I don't know they disappeared they're just gone of course they're on a piece of clear plastic so they could be anywhere oh that is way too strange okay well I have more glue dots these are repositionable glue dots you could probably um hot glue it down if you wanted um I'm going to just use glue dots and just put three on the back of each one of these clay pieces now that I'm doing it on camera the glue dot doesn't want to stick because you know that's how it works that's how we roll and this is just a piece of you know acrylic from my local plastics shop um actually going to clean this off a little bit the silicone this is a silicone mold and it doesn't stick to the acrylic so I'm going to push this down really carefully really thoroughly now if you have excess of the silicone mold material in your mixing bowl or cup um it's not going to stick see it just comes right out um this is what from the molds I just did off camera so I'm going to take this blob of dried silicone and stick it in the trash can so you can of course use something disposable but you can also just reuse the container now I want to get two clean sticks and I'm going to take equal amounts of both both of the materials now this is from environmental technologies um product easy mold which is a silicone paste um I think it's a little bit easier to get um a finished detail mold with this material than it is the putty version of um this type of mold making material I've tried both I prefer this one for detailed molds anyway you of course could weigh this and be really precise about it I'm not actually going to I'm going to just eyeball it which is probably the wrong thing to do you probably should weigh it and I do actually have a scale off camera and I'm just being lazy so if you don't get the um amounts of each material exactly right it may take a little longer to dry so now you just want to mix them thoroughly until there's no white specks and it's just all a solid color and really scrape your container and make sure that you've got and scrape your stick make sure you've got all the little bits and pieces mixed in really thoroughly you have about 20 to 30 minutes of drying time then I'm going to take a disposable glue brush like this you probably can get these this kind of thing in the hobby section of your craft store um where they have like the model cars and stuff I would think so I'm going to take some of this silicone mold making material and I'm going to kind of lightly brush a thin coat around the sides of my clay piece and over the top kind of swirling it into the cracks in the clay that of the emboss design I'm also going to make sure that I turn this around so I can make sure that I'm seeing and truly getting all the edges so we have a good seal around the edge I have one here this one that I actually missed a spot so we're going to add the scraps of silicone mold material here to the little hole that's in the edge of that one okay once you have all the edges down then you can really just kind of just mound it on the top making sure of course that you get all of the clay piece covered up and because my clay is brown and the mold material is blue in theory it should be pretty easy to know if you've covered it all up correctly because there won't be any more brown showing although as I said it did miss a spot on that one and what I was doing too is kind of periodically scraping the glue brush with my mixing stick and scraping the sides of the bowl to try to really just use all of the material that I could it takes like I said about 20 or 30 minutes to dry and once it is dry then you can peel it off it should peel right off okay I am going to take some of this extra I'm going to stuff it in the little hole I have over here on this other one hopefully the demo one I have to pull off which is this one pulls off and there's no issues so we'll find out okay so we're going to let all that dry these are trash and but I'm going to leave the stick in here to pull the to scrape the bowl with and this can just be thrown away these are really inexpensive all right so then once it's dry which this one is dry to the touch then you can just lift the edges it's not going to stick to the clay or the plastic and I that one wasn't quite dry in the middle stick that down there and see if it sticks it dries more I'll be right back okay so once it's dry and I would just recommend not being impatient like I am and just just let it go let it sit for at least 30 minutes if not longer it should peel right up and you'll have a fairly nice impression of your clay heart inside of this a new flexible silicone mold you can take some scissors and trim some of the excess little wispy bits off and now I have six new molds this one's a little thin on the edge so you really kind of want to make sure that you get enough of the mold putty or the mold paste paste yeah silicone paste on there that one I might have to the next I might so what I do is I take my molds and the next time I'm making a mold I take the little bit of extra that's in the bowl and I fix holes in them like in this one because it'll stick to itself really well okay so I'm going to get these all trimmed and then really quickly I'm going to show you how to use some another product to make some more hearts I'll be right back okay once you have your molds made you can use paper clay in them you can use all kinds of things and I'm going to actually use though some resin this is fast cast again by environmental technologies it dries really quickly 10 minutes and there's little or no odor which means I can use it without wheezing and I am going to take precautions you're still working with chemicals and we're going to put gloves on you really don't want to get this on your skin and before we this mold this resin actually dries white not clear and before we do anything we are going to coat the inside of our molds with some mica powders these are magicals yeah lindy stamp gain magicals so these were a gift from my dear friend Cindy udder and I just got three different kind of shades of pinky colors that she gave gave me this is wild honey peony scarlet and opaline rosy so like a tanny rose like a pink and like this peachy color um so I'm going to just brush these lightly on the inside of the mold probably like two or more you know colors per I don't know exactly what you know these colors are going to look like after they're molded I'm just playing and experimenting it's just you know a fun experiment these would be great to make and then turn them into jewelry or or some sort of planner charm maybe drill a hole in them after they're dry and you know gift them to your friends loved ones art pals things like that of course you could have a big stash of them that you save to um do art with make them ahead of time okay so before we do anything else we're going to close these because I'm really worried I'm going to spill them everywhere and it's going to make a big mess okay and I have since the these molds aren't flat I have them sitting on little bags of BB shot um you could balance them on something else so that they are fairly flat and even so that when you put the resin in you get a nice even pour all right now we this is of course a two-part mixing thing so we are going to put a in my little mixing tiny mixing container and then an equal part of B and I'm going to use this half this is again measuring spoons I just use for crafting I don't use them for anything else I especially want to use something like this for either the silicone paste or for resin you really you can't use it for food again then this lid's kind of stuck let's see there we go so then we'll put an equal amount of B and again the resin that dries on there should lift right out of that plastic you have 10 minutes to work with this I'm going to stir it quickly it'll start to get warm and thick the drying time hardening time will of course vary depending on where you're at the weather and other conditions that you're at you need to stir it for about 30 seconds you feel this bottom start to get warm that's usually time that it's a good time to pour it I am by no means a resin expert there are other channels on youtube that are much better with resin than I am I will try to remember to link one of my favorites in the description below I actually may not have enough resin for that last one nope need to mix a little bit more as it dries it's going to turn white and opaque it will not stay clear and again depending on where you are in the world what your weather conditions are like how hot it is how humid it is it may take have a longer or shorter drying time so I'm going to get this last one poured and then we will be back when they're dried and unmolded and we will see what we get look around your and I already had all of this stuff I just hadn't really done any playing with it so the lesson here that we've been trying to show you not only this month but so far in the program is to look around and see what you have and how you can use that to create some interesting embellishments not only in your my year 2017 journal but in your art going forward let's break some of those things out of the boxes that we've bought in the past thinking we wanted to try them and then you know what we never did let's let's get them out of the box let's use them and see what happens all right I will be back it hasn't been 10 minutes yet yet but look I'll see how they're turning white that's what I meant so when they're completely white I'm going to give them a good 10 minutes if not a little bit longer we'll be back and we'll unmold them and we'll see what we've got all right I'll be back okay so one thing I want to show you is the bowl see did indeed come out clean and our little clay pieces all the leftover little random bits of the silicone mold making um putty all came off um so they can of course be used to make more molds or they can just be used as is on a future project I do have a drawer a little drawer full of clay bits and pieces that I will probably put these into and these are our here's our little mixing thing well that should all peel out of there um I don't know if these are completely dry I noticed this one evidently I missed a spot so some of it leaked out onto my little bean bag which is fine so what I'll probably do on this one is I'll set this mold aside in the next time I'm making molds I'll stuff that hole up with some more of the blue paste but let's see what the heart looks like should pop out well it might be a little difficult to pop out because of the part where it leaked oh not too bad actually so there is a little bit extra here so I can take some scissors while it's not completely hard and just give it a little trim you can also let it harden completely which it's not and you can you know sand the edges I kind of like the kind of rough um nature of that now as far as the part where there's a hole and we've got you can't leave this here and then make more molds because it's going to stick to whatever more resin you put in here but we do have a hole that will have to be plugged up let's try the next one now you can use this fast cast in any silicone mold so if you have like the cake molds or any store-bought molds roughness that's on it you can tell it's not completely hardened because it's a little bit flexible when it's hardened it will be not it won't be flexible so that one is fine and I probably could and should be leaving these in here a little longer but I'm not going to and if you want them to be more colored then you of course put more magicals inside the mold but I kind of like this sort of distressed and even look of them and you of course can paint them so maybe you put some magicals in there and you mold you molded some you pulled them out and you thought well they're not really as pink as I would like or they're not the exact color I would like you can use any number of supplies in your stash including your acrylic paints to paint them this one doesn't seem to want to come out it might not be dry enough again you could be a lot more patient than I'm being like that one there's something about that one I like I don't know and I'm going to show you what I mean by some paint because I do think we're going to add a little more color to them and again you could do this with anything maybe you have um uh key molds maybe you have it actually looks like some of the putty is stuck in the cracks maybe you have some other shaped mold that you want to do this with there's dirt or something else hang on so now we're gonna um zoom in I'm going to move some things out of my way here put these back here we got five carts because remember one mold didn't quite make it so let's zoom in just a little bit let me grab something really quick now hoping as I said really quick that I actually knew where it was but I did yay have two colors oh no three colors okay these are um ink of golds hopefully they're not dried up so we'll find out here in a second I have red green and gold let's try the red one oh no they're not dried up and I'm going to just use my finger are we zoomed in enough maybe really lightly just to kind of hit the high spots this is a gold one I put baby wipes inside of these to keep them from drying out it does really work and it no it does not make them moldy at least I've never had a problem with that but this is another way to color your resin and you could do just this like cast them white and do just this or you could like I said and I've done you could put the magicals in there and then um go back and add some ink of gold now they demo demonstrated this fast cast at creativation in phoenix and I fell in love with it there I will put the link to environmental technologies in the description below um it is their products their easy cast at least is available pretty readily available you can of course order it from their website and on a bunch of other places I'm not going to use the green because you know these are hearts and the green the green just doesn't seem appropriate again don't go buy new things use what you have to create something interesting you can tint the resin to a color before you get started so you can instead of letting it be white you can tint it to be any one of a number of colors including black so there you go I don't know which lid goes to which now oh this one goes here all right so that's it let me move these so there there we go now this should come out of here pretty easily yep see just peels right off see peels right off so you can use this container again to put to mix more resin all righty I'm going to throw that away that's it for today and for the week I hope you've enjoyed this weekend that all of uh and this month and all of the teachers and I have given you some great ideas of what you can do in your my year journal and with your art in general if you have any questions comments or concerns please let us know if you're not a member of the my year 2017 Facebook group the link to that and a bunch of other stuff like I have said is in the description below we would be happy to have you join us it's a free safe place to do and share art um and that's it for right now I don't forget to like share and subscribe if you can and look see I painted just inadvertently painted one of the clay ones um that's okay so don't forget to like share and subscribe if you can and to um support my channel by maybe thinking about shopping over in my Etsy shop again the link is in the description below the most important thing of course though is have a great day and play with your supplies see what you

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent and Merciful. Respective viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam, peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent and Merciful, Muhammad, say, I seek protection from the Lord of the Dawn against the evil of whatever He has created. I seek His protection against the evil of the invading darkness from the evil of those who practice witchcraft and from the evil of the envious ones. Sura 113, ayahs 1 through 5. This verse clearly embodies the immense negative magnitude of envy. It stains the soul and prevents humans from excelling spiritually. It is the hideous vice that leaves the worst influence on morals. The envious, in fact, lives in incessant grief since he desatisfies himself with acts of God. The prophet, peace be upon him, has said, envy consumes the good deeds in the same way as fire consumes wood. Hassad, or envy, is among the most destructive emotions or feeling which a man may have towards his fellow human being. It causes him to wish evil for the others and to be happy when misfortune befalls them. Amir al-Mu'mineen, alaihi salam, has said, I have never seen like the wrong envious who is most similar to the wrong. The envious lives in endless care with grieved heart and inherent sorrow. Envy is the most serious moral defect that inflicts the religion and the life of the individuals that they carry. The envious is greatly disturbed when they notice anyone to be happy or content with their life. Imam alaihi salam, has said, Envy doesn't bring anything other than harm and anger and weakens your heart and makes your body sick. He, alaihi salam, has also said, Envy weakens the body. The religious disadvantage of envy is that the envious uses all wrong and nasty means for traveling the envied so as to impute dishonor to him. This will certainly make him encounter the wrath and punishment of Allah. Hadrat luqman, alaihi salam, satih al-san, the envious person has three signs, backbiting behind them, flatters them in front and is happy when they are in trouble. So what should a believer do when he or she observes a blessing that he or she lacks is possessed by another servant of Allah? He or she should desire that the blessing possessed by the other servant of Allah swt should remain and as such increase and may Allah swt bestow him or her with the same blessing. He or she must not desire that the blessing be lost from the servant of Allah swt. He or she must appreciate that Allah swt has bestowed the blessings to his servant by his own grace and that he or she should be happy with Allah swt. Thank you for watching. Join in to the upcoming episodes. As-salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu.

Really nice shape on the front fender. Front bumper is in excellent condition as well. I didn't see any dense dings or cracks on that. Factory fog lights and the headlight lenses are crystal clear. The grille is in really nice shape as well and the hood I did not see any dense or dings on that. Passengers side front fender is in excellent condition too. No dents or dings in the passenger side rim. No scuffs or scrapes and that tire is brand new as well.
