IBM's AutoAI provides end-to-end AutoML, including data preparation and model selection, to optimize for some notion of predictive performance, which significantly reduces the time taken by data scientists to generate prediction pipelines. This IBM research demo showcases a new capability that can incorporate problem or domain-specific stakeholder constraints in the optimization for end-to-end AutoML. We will demonstrate this capability with a credit application problem. This German credit dataset contains information, features regarding applicants, and we wish to predict if the applicants have good or bad credit. This data is historical with ground truth available, and we wish to automatically learn a machine learning prediction pipeline to make predictions on future applicants. This is posed as a binary classification problem, and we can optimize for the area under the ROC curve. At this point, the user can click start and kick off the optimization with three clicks, data upload, target column selection, and the start button. At this point, the problem can be customized. We can select a different metric to optimize for, such as accuracy or F1 score. Furthermore, we can specify stakeholder constraints. Here, we provide a canned set of constraints, but we will demonstrate later how one can even specify custom constraints. First, we specify a couple of AI fairness constraints. The parity difference constraint makes sure in this application that the favorable outcome rate, the prediction rate for good credit, is close between different groups. Here, we are grouping the data, the population based on gender, but you can choose other factors such as age or location. This specific constraint makes sure that we do not predict good credit at a high rate, say 30% for males, but at a low 5% for females. The other fairness metric error rate difference makes sure that the predictions have close predictive performance between different groups, so that it is not the case that the error rate is 10% for males and 40% for females. Then we can specify other constraints on the inference time and the memory overhead for the prediction pipeline. False positive rate is another business constraint. There might be a regulatory constraint on this too, since a false positive implies we are predicting bad credit for someone who has good credit, subsequently denying the loan application. It can be deemed both discriminatory and lost business for a loan vendor. If the user has a constraint with respect to their own custom metrics such as next season's revenue, they can define them and AutoAI can incorporate them in the optimization as well. Given these specified constraints, we can execute the optimization. On this page, given the parameters of the problem up here, we see that around 20 pipelines were tried, of which only 5 satisfied all constraints simultaneously. Here we show the different modeling operators used, along with the number of pipelines containing these modeling operators that satisfy or violate some constraints. And down here, we can see the leaderboard view. We see different pipelines, such as an XGBoost classifier. For this pipeline, we can view different predictive performance metrics, the ROC curve, and the feature importances. Here is another pipeline with a robust scaling and a truncated SVD, a singular value decomposition preceding the XGBoost classifier. There is a column for the metric corresponding to the objective in the optimization, the ROC curve, the area under the ROC curve, and a separate column for the metrics corresponding to the constraints. In this case, the inference time constraints with the green arrow and the red arrow indicating constraint satisfaction and constraint violation, respectively, for this particular constraint. We can use the dropdown here to view the metrics corresponding to other constraints, such as the false positive rate. Beyond these views, we also developed a novel visualization that allows us to both compare different pipelines in terms of the metrics, but also view the internals of the optimization trajectory, the conditional parallel coordinates visualization, or the CPC visualization. There are three main sections. This left section shows the different modeling, data preparation, and featureization operators used by the different pipelines. The middle section shows the different constraints, and the right section shows a set of predictive performance metrics beyond the one we optimized for. Each line corresponds to a single pipeline. This one shows a pipeline with a scaling operator and a transformer using sampling with radial basis functions before a quadratic discriminant analysis modeling estimator. Then we can see which of the constraints this pipeline satisfies or violates. The green section in the vertical bar implies constraint satisfaction, while the red section implies constraint violation. Finally, we see the different performance metrics. Furthermore, for expert users, they can even dig into specific operators and see the different configurations, the hyperparameters that were considered in the optimization. This demonstrates the conditional nature of the conditional parallel coordinates visualization. AutoAI can easily generate dozens or hundreds of pipelines, whereas a human data scientist normally generates a couple of pipelines for consideration. That is why there is a lot packed in the CPC visualization to give one the complete information regarding the optimization. And it is particularly useful for data scientists to make a final selection of a pipeline generated by AutoAI. Finally, the same functionality can be obtained via a Jupyter notebook. With this programmatic interface, one can define custom constraints using a simple API. Thank you.


Well, I knew she was, it was been a while since I was a kid. Why me and Gray, too? They got on me, Gray. I'm going to make sure she directions you to get some Corbin. That's Mike Alexi, Dad. Did anybody say anything? Okay. Yeah, right. Boss, I need to get out of here. I'm in Twitter for a little sexy content. Boom! So, put in a little bit of Patreon or the Twitter account. Worst intro ever. Just awful, but it doesn't matter because half the people still get it. We are reacting to a trailer, which we reacted to the teaser for, I think at the beginning of the channel. 2.0, do you remember that one? Oh. At all? 2.0, yeah. Yeah. I do.  It has... I really do. I think it's like, side-eye, first month of starting to do Indian stuff. Yeah. But it was a teaser. Oh! I'm listening to you. I am, too. It was the teaser. But this is the trailer that... Got it. But it has Rajnikanth. I guarantee we did not know. We did not know. Akshay Kumar, which I guarantee we did not know. We didn't know he was the king of cheese. And it's the music by Aira Rahman, and it also has... Your mom. Shankar. I don't know if it's Shankar Mahavadan. I don't know. When you said king of cheese, I thought of a literal cheese. No, it's directed by... It's directed by... But that's Akshay. What we're gonna do is we're gonna watch the trailer, and then we're gonna watch our reaction to the teaser, which is only four minutes long. Your video's four minutes? The video to the original teaser is only four minutes long. Oh, my gosh. I can't wait to watch it. Me, too. But this is, I think, the most expensive... It was at the time when they made it, one of the most expensive, because it's very visually effects-driven, the most expensive movies that came out. I don't know if it was good or not. Okay. We will see. Here we go. We will see. The objective. Real order. Watch at 2.0. There's a lot going on. I am impressed with the visual effects on that thing. Well, yeah, it looks like... That was the most over-the-top, crazy good special effects we've seen from any trailer. Yeah. Cool concept. Yeah, I think it's... I love all the shows dropping at the end. And it's so unique. I was now knowing those two actors. Yeah. They probably don't... I don't think you know even Akshay, right? No, they don't know Akshay. Second one. Second one. But yeah, it came out to the neat team. Whoa. After mobiles start mysteriously flying out of the hands of people in Chennai, Dr. Visigarhan summons his trusted robot, Cheety, to ward off the bird-shaped supernatural powers of punk Shrajan. That... That is a synopsis. Hey! Hey, you guys out in India who hire the dudes to do the narration for trailers, which don't happen anymore? You should start them up again and hire this guy. That was amazing. Yeah. So, Raja Akank is playing the robot. Right. The main robot.  The evil bird. Akshay as the evil bird. I can't remember if you guys actually said this was great or if this was just garbage. Yeah. So please let us know. It looks great. Here we go. Here is our... Four minutes. Four minutes, 30 seconds. I love watching our old stuff. Maybe that's what this is about. 2.0 is a level of authorization to tease.  If you're new to our channel, go subscribe to the like button and ring that little bell and part of the notification squad. Once again, please follow us on our very social media platforms. Please do. Twitter. And today we'll be reacting to the 2.0 official teaser trailer. I think... I don't know what it's about. Is it a sequel to 1.0? I don't know. But every single one of you requested it. I mean, all the other ones you recommended have been amazing. Fantastic. And so let's see if this one's good. Once again, down in the comments. Let us know if you have any other films you'd like us to react to. Or TV shows. Yep. Whatever. Music videos. Memes. Gifts. Here we go. Upslash Terminator. Yeah. Why is it called 2.0? It looks like it's somebody called Cheety. What the heck was that? I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and think I dreamt that. Yeah. It has 60 million views. Let's... Let's try. Try not to stand. Wow. Weirdest trailer I've seen for a minute. This says it's... Where'd it go? Hello. There it is. Sorry. It says it's by far the better than you thought it would be when they took him to see it. Yeah. There's so much story to the villain. Horror elements I hadn't even thought of. Yeah. Okay. Apparently a lot of people will really like it. Please leave it in the comment section. We don't understand. Is it a thriller? Is it sci-fi? Is it a comedy?  Exactly. Exactly. Little did we know. And why is it called 2.0? Yeah. I have no idea why it's called 2.0. That's quite strange. But let us know down in the comments if it's definitely worth seeing. Because I don't know. Once again, let us know down in the comments any of the films that you'd like us to react to and leave. Goodbye. We're done now. A lot of the channels the same. A lot of it is. It is.  I think we have a little more understanding of... I still have that shirt. Yes. You only have three shirts. It's true. Yeah. Oh man. Are you waxing Remembrances now? Yeah, all the weird stuff I put on the screen at the time. Like the comments below. Leave a comment below in case you didn't know that's where you're supposed to be. Oh, I love it. Also, how's this film? Yeah. We still... I can't remember if this is one that they said was absolutely garbage. I can't remember either. But they said it was really good. Yeah, I can't remember either. So you can have to let us know.

So, his program aims at completing the fiscal compact with a certain number of proposals aiming at stimulating growth in Europe because he considers that the austerity program would not be sufficient to cure Europe from its crisis. So he made four proposals. The first one consists in launching project bonds. The second consists in using undisputed funds, European funds. The third in a taxation on financial transactions. And the fourth to recapitalize the European investment pack. Well, I think that if he is elected, which is quite probable, there will be a momentum. So there is an increasing pressure in Europe aiming at completing the fiscal compact with a growth initiative. But obviously his victory will help such an endeavor. If he fails, of course it will in a sense stop the momentum. But since I do not believe that he will lose, I think that it will, his election will be favorable to a shift in the European policy. Well, they are connected in a sense that apparently the Irish are following very carefully the French election because precisely one of the contenders is making a certain number of proposals. And I think that there is a use of the French election of Mr. Hollande in favor of yes in Ireland and yes, which would be a qualified yes, consistent saying that the fiscal compact is absolutely necessary, but that the fiscal compact need to be completed by an initiative on growth, which is actually the position of Mr. Hollande. So we cannot read the proposals made by Mr. Hollande as let's say a support for and nowhere in Ireland.


The study aimed to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, engagement, and effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT, based chatbot, Otis, as an early health anxiety management intervention for adults in New Zealand during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that although there was no significant decrease in health anxiety at post-intervention or follow-up, participants perceived benefiting from the intervention and reported significant improvement in general anxiety, personal well-being, and quality of life. Anthropomorphism, Otis' appearance and delivery of content facilitated the use of Otis, while technical difficulties and high performance and effort expectancy were barriers to acceptance and engagement. Overall, the study suggests that chatbots may be a feasible and acceptable means of delivering CBT to improve anxiety management, quality of life, and personal well-being but might not significantly reduce health anxiety.

Can you shake it around for me, just so we can see them for... Okay, cool. Thank you. Did you get it? Yeah.


I would just invite you to just let your mind struggle with that for a minute and to notice the desire to say, no, we're doing something different. Something happened in the Enlightenment in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries, where we human beings started to do something fundamentally different from the past and fundamentally superior to the past, more effective than humans had been doing in the past. And I wonder if you might, if there might be a note of caution as you go through that exercise, that this belief in our superiority is consistent with or maybe even identical to the mindset of colonialism and imperialism that has said our way of living is better than your way of living. Our way of knowing is better than your way of knowing our society is better than your society. Therefore, we're going to come in and take up the white man's burden and help you graduate from your degraded backward benighted condition into our own civilized enlightened condition.


In remembrance of those who have fallen, Pikeville's First Responders Day will take place this Saturday, September 11th, at 11 a.m. Thursday we spoke with Public Information Officer Tony Kahn about the event and the importance of officers within the community. This is a bad day as well. I think it's very important. Like I said, we've got to keep their memory alive. A hero remembered is never forgotten. And we've got to make sure that the generation that didn't, wouldn't around at that time, like my son, knows what sacrificed these guys made and these ladies and gentlemen made. They didn't think twice. And, you know, they're heroes and we want to make sure that that's what we keep their memory alive. And we want this generation to know that, you know, that's a big thing. These people service above self.  And they need to know that. As part of First Responders Day, local leaders will join in front of the Pikeville Police Department for a moment of prayer. Later, Kahn shared his memory of 9-11. I remember the day well. I remember what I was doing. I had worked night shift. And I had seen them. I didn't see the first plane strike, one of the towers. But I was able to watch the news and watch the second plane hit. And I remember getting a call from our chief at the time. I worked in another department and he told us all, go fill your cars up with the gas and fill the pool cars up with the gas. And meet me at the police station. So we had a big meeting. We were watching the news just like everybody else. It's a big community. It's a tight-knit community. Police officers and firemen, of course. I always said that whether we lose an officer here or they lose an officer in California or New York or whatever, the country loses the officer. Such as the department's loss of Scotty Hamilton in 2018, Kahn says it's important to keep the memory alive. If it happened for them, the loss of life, the body count, the loss of life would have been much greater. But they evacuated lots of people, a lot of people from those places. Of course, there was whole precincts that lost everybody. So it's a terrible loss for us. I still remember the day it happened. I remember what I was doing. And it's a terrible thing. But as long as we keep it alive and keep it remembering what they sacrificed their lives for, then they're not going to be forgotten. For Mount Top News, I'm Joel Hodgell.


So even though FruitFly aren't as active in the winter months, there's still lots of things we can do to eradicate them. In particular, our teams are out there in their orange overalls and they're still looking to access backyards so we can pick up any fallen fruit. They're also deploying Sierra Traps. These are track fruit flies who drown in the liquid below. So please give us access, allow the teams in, we'll be in and out really quick and that way we can eradicate FruitFly together. So even though FruitFly aren't as active in the winter months, there's still lots of things we can do to break the life cycle. In particular, those citrus fruits are out at the moment. Things like mandarins and oranges and kumquats and lemons, they're all still out in people's backyards. Pick your fruit. If we get fruit out of the backyards, collect it and put it into your green bin, we're breaking the life cycle. Check your fruit. If you see any blemishes on that fruit or anything that looks really suspicious, open it up. If you see any larvae or anything inside the fruit, please ring our hotline on 1300 6600. The other thing you can do is prune your fruit trees. That way we get them down to a manageable size. So come spring, we've got less fruit to deal with. So there's a number of different traps we use for FruitFly control. In the winter time, in the cooler months, we use Sierra traps.  They've got an organic bait inside of them.  Now, they're a really good option in an eradication program and they supplement our baiting program. We use them in certain areas. In other parts of the state, we use our normal monitoring traps. Now, these are there just to monitor to make sure we don't have a problem and they're used year-round. The Sierra traps are really just something we use in the cooler months to make sure our eradication is working.


The Fisher's Boy by Henry David Thoreau, read for LibreVox.org by Betsy Bush in Marquette, Michigan, May 15, 2007. My life is like a stroll upon the beach, as near the ocean's edge as I can go. My tardy steps, its waves sometimes o'erreach, sometimes I stay to let them overflow. My sole employment is, and scrupulous care, to place my gains beyond the reach of tides. Each smoother pebble, and each shell more rare, which ocean kindly to my hand confides. I have but few companions on the shore, they scorn the strand who sail upon the sea, yet oft I think the ocean they've sailed o'er, is deeper known upon the strand to me. The middle sea contains no crimson dulls, its deeper waves cast up no pearls to view, along the shore my hand is on its pulse, and I converse with many a shipwrecked crew. End of poem.

Okay, so my name is Daniel Baranger, I'm a developer with Red Hat, mostly working on virtualization technology, but I'm here today to talk to you about my projects in my free time which is in Tangle. This is an application for tethered camera control and capture, and it's targeting digital cameras, so not those kind of cameras you see up there. Cameras like this, an SLR from Nikon or Canon is the best supported. So what is it? It's a desktop application written in GTK, GTK3, and being a photography application is of course color-managed. We use the LCMS2 library for dealing with this and automatically pick up the system monitor profile. On the back end we use the LibGPhoto library for controlling the cameras. This library's been around quite a long time, most commonly used for people just downloading files off their cameras, but for most modern digital SLR cameras you can actually control all aspects of the camera's operation using this library. So change any setting on the camera, trigger the shutter, turn on and off, live view mode if your camera has that, and so forth. And we also use the GXF2 library for extracting metadata from the images we download, which is the same library that GIMP now uses for metadata. And of course this being the LibraGraphics conference it shouldn't be any surprise that this is an open-source GPL licensed project. So I want to talk to you a little bit about why I started development on this application. In London I'm a member of a local photography group and they do a lot of workshops and one of the workshops we did a few years ago now was off-camera flash workshop and in that workshop they were using the Nikon camera control software so that we could see the shots that were being taken as he was taking them on the big projector and I thought that's kind of a neat piece of software. I wonder if there's anything equivalent for Linux. After a little searching around I found the LibG Photo library and there was an old graphical interface for that but I couldn't get it to compile anymore and it was basically unmaintained so I thought I'd go about creating the entangle application to provide a graphical front-end for the LibG Photo library. One of the very first things that I used it for was macro photography. If you've ever done any kind of macro photography you'll know that getting focus right is one of the hardest things there particularly if you're looking on the back of your little LCD screen it may look perfectly sharp but then you bring it on to your computer later and you're in for a whole pile of disappointment when you see how fuzzy it really is. So this was really the first thing that I used this application for and I should say in case you haven't already figured out this image here was processed using GMIC and their dream smooth plug-in which I just did that just after their presentation so it was kind of neat. So the other thing I'm more recently interested in is astrophotography and again with astrophotography getting focus right is one of the hardest things not only because the LCD screen in the back of your camera is very small but when your camera is attached to the back of a telescope the LCD screen is in a position which makes it almost impossible for you to actually look at it. So being able to see your images that you're capturing on a laptop screen as you take them is very handy for getting focus right. And the use case which kind of I wasn't expecting when I started the project is stop motion animation. A bunch of users have shown up and told me that they're using using entangle for stop motion animation and suggested a bunch of features to improve it in this respect to make it make it make it a better program for doing stop motion animation and I'll hopefully demonstrate a few of those those features in a few minutes time. In fact I'm going to demonstrate them now. I'll find my mouse pointer again. There it is. So as I said this is mostly targeted at digital SLR cameras that works with Nikon and Canon cameras primarily. I'm sorry. I should make it so that you can see it not me. Primarily digital SLR cameras though it does work with some of the older Canon compact cameras the power shots but Canon in their infinite wisdom decided they didn't want you doing remote control of their compact cameras so they crippled the firmware in all modern compact cameras from Canon which was not very nice of them. So if we just turn this on and actually I shouldn't go on fullscreen immediately I should connect to the camera. If the camera is already turned on when you start the program app it'll automatically connect to it and offer to unmount it if you've got it set up as a file system. So now you can see down there down the sidebar there is got a panel with various settings for the camera depending on what camera you have depends on how many settings you'll you'll get here but there's on modern Nikon and Canon's there's there's a lot of settings so this area of the user interface needs a bit of work I know that currently I just took the easy approach of exposing everything but that will be changing. So if we just take a photo it should automatically download it or or not. The curse of the live demo eh? The user's scroll bar in the bottom that's like in the middle. Maybe it should be at the end. No no no it's it's it's there. Let's just disconnect and connect again. That's usually fixes these things. Exactly. Well maybe let's see. This is one of the the issues I have with Libji Photo is that some of the some of the drivers can be unreliable. I mean I shouldn't actually blame Libji Photo. I don't necessarily know that it's their fault. It could be the camera firmware just as just as easily. Let's let's try that again. That's more like it. So you see it actually it downloaded two images there because I haven't set in raw and JPEG combined mode so it will download both the both the formats when it loads the raw file. I said you have a live preview mode. So we've got that here at a couple of frames a second at least. And you can you can focus in and out when you're previewing. You're not gonna be able to see that really on the big display there. And once you're happy with how you set up the shot capture the image and download it. One of the one of the things I mentioned that we added for the stop motion guys is they wanted to be able to do aspect ratio masks. So you can see that I just turned on black bars on the top and the bottom. We've got a whole bunch of different aspect ratios that we know about. So you can set up set it up to mask different areas of the screen. And you see it's got focus point and this is showing rule of third lines. It can do you can do different divisions on the on the image as well. So we just get out of that.  You can have if you you want to control multiple cameras you can set up you open a separate window and then tell it to synchronize the capture. So that when you trigger the shutter on one camera it'll capture on both cameras and download from both cameras at once. So I think that's enough enough of a quick demo. I'll just go back to the presentation for the last few minutes because we're quickly running out of time. So this is the bit where I asked for your help. I mentioned already this one of the one of the problems I have is a bit of a driver quality problem in Libji photo. This manifests itself in in various different ways. Some things which you think would operate the same way on different cameras just work completely differently. So for example I set up support for focusing during live view which worked perfectly on my Nikon camera and the very first Canon user who tried this found that it didn't work at all. So that's that's one big problem that I have. Regressions in functionality often when they're making fixes to things in Libji photo other things will break which is kind of unfortunate it's not really the testing the testing in Libji photo library is it's fairly manual there's not a hell of a lot of automated testing there if any that I've found. So anyone wanting to help in Libji photo would be much appreciated. Just having people testing different cameras and telling me what works and what doesn't work would be would be great because I've got two Nikon cameras and a bunch of old Canon compact cameras but I don't have a Canon SLR camera myself yet although I'll probably end up buying one when I decide to fork out the cash. I need a new logo when I first started the project I wasn't really paying attention and I picked a logo which looked remarkably similar to DigiCams logo and they've been around a long time so I don't really want to have one that looks too similar to theirs so I've got to get a new logo so if anyone is a graphic designer who fancies designing logos then I'd appreciate any any help in that area. I already mentioned the interface design needs a little bit of help a bit of improvement particularly on the panel for adjusting the camera controls and that clearly doesn't work very well when you've got lots and lots of controls there. This isn't so much a problem as something I'd like to do as features. When you've got the ability to control the shutter it'd be nice to be able to do some automation of that. For example take a bunch of images with different focus points and then you can do focus stacking for macro work or for astrophotography you can set it up to do time lapse over several hours so you don't have to sit there pressing the shutter button every every couple of minutes. We mentioned several times during the day 1% of Windows user base is larger than 95% of Linux so it'd be nice to have this work on Windows. The main blocker here at the moment is getting libgphoto to work on Windows because it doesn't even compile currently and that's all I wanted to talk about today so thanks for your attention and if you're at all interested go to the website or come and find me. Thank you. Thank you. So questions. Yes in the back and I have a microphone. Hi I'm astrophotographer myself also and I use extensively music lantern because it rocks and it helps a lot during night and everything and I'd love to use it in combination with entangle so any plans on that or how can we help towards a direction. You mentioned you don't have a Canon right now so you cannot test it yourself. The modern Canon Digital SLRs they support the PTP mode which is what which is what gphoto is relying on to talk to the cameras so I mean you can you can use this with normal Canon Digital SLRs and at least some of the functionality works because I've got Canon users who have told me that some of it works. I really just need more people to tell me what does and doesn't work and if you're able to do code development then jump in and fix things and I don't know particularly what functionality magic lantern would add that would be useful but I'm all ears for suggestions. Yeah so probably this is a discussion to be having like in Friday magic lantern workshop because like if magic lantern can expose things on PTP that would be a way to access them if not then there needs to be some code to it and specifically for the magic lantern operations on Canon. Sure sure I'm happy to go along to that workshop. More questions for him. It was only you waving. Any more questions? Yes. Just when you mentioned astrophotography and time-lapse photography I was wondering whether you or any of the users have been using this in combination with the OpenMoco, the open motion control software of dynamic perceptions, motion control, open hardware. Is that something that anyone's done or is planning? Not that I'm aware of. What language is it written in? It's written in C. It uses GTK and it's got we support the Geo object introspection system so that you can write user interface extensions in JavaScript so you don't have to be a C programmer to extend this. So I think that concludes a very intensive but exciting day. First day of the graphics 2014. Thank you very much. Thank you.


What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here, so this would be the recap for Chucky season 2 episode 5 I believe this episode was titled doll on doll if I'm wrong you can correct me down in the conversation But I believe that's what it's called doll on doll doll on doll starts with buff Chucky Showing nice Chucky all the weapons he has so it's picking up right where the events of episode 3 Left us when with it with him entering that room before you know episode 4 was Tiffany centric Picking up with those two buff Chucky again is showing nice Chucky all the weapons He has and how he wants to talk about how he wants to kill Lexi Devin and Jake and him nice Chuck He's kind of going back and forth him talking about how those are his friends stay away from them nice Chucky says don't you mess with those kids buff Chucky says this knife here will make Devin scream a particular knife He shows him and nice Chucky ends up attacking buff Chucky and the two start fist fighting now This sequence is one of the wacky things I was talking about it's funny, but it's like okay Certain things when in regards to the wackiness. I mean, we've of course already seen Chucky masturbate this isn't anywhere near as wacky as that but Treat it with some seriousness. I would say it's a funny sequence and I don't mind it And I'm glad it did not go on too long, but it's like, okay That's one of the things like okay dial dial that back. I want some seriousness Going into season three. I want them to focus more on that and less on the wacky stuff But it was a very entertaining sequence of that ultimately Led to nice Chucky winning because Jake wants to help nice Chucky from outside on the other side of the door Because him and Devin are watching again from the other side Nice Chucky ends up getting the upper hand against buff Chucky and pins him to the office door with knives before walking out to Jake And Devin Devin still seems skeptical of nice Chucky and tries to convince Jake that there is no such thing that Nice Chucky exists.  It was another version of Chucky Jake waltz off with nice Chucky and father Bryce catches Devin in the in the office with buff Chucky So he gets in trouble thinking that he had something to do with pinning buff Chucky to the wall like that Within jumps in a Dean who was shown in her and Lexi's room cleaning up the mess Trevor's body left behind Nadine asked Lexi if they should bury Trevor Nadine notices Lexi is acting stress and says she is worried about her Lexi storms off after her anxiety kicks in and takes some drugs to cope Nadine comes into the restroom where Lexi ran off to and tells her if she doesn't stop this then she's going to die Nadine tells Lexi about her mom and how she struggled and it seems like her mom was a drug addict And Lexi ends up embracing Nadine in tears after hearing about the story from inside the stall And the two just share a heartfelt moment Lexi decides to flush the rest of the drugs down the drain with Nadine watching her in support I really love this bond and this arc that they have going on with Nadine and Lexi and how she is so important to Lexi's growth and her overcoming what she's going through We then jump to glenn interrupting tiffany to tell her she has a murder problem Tiffany is upset at glenn for betraying her by helping nika escape glenn asked who is nika and tiffany says that was her girlfriend obviously a lie When glenn yells at her to stop lying to them tiffany says she'll talk when glenn reveals where glenda took nika Then we jump back to incarnate lord lexi and nadine go to the room and think someone is in their closet So they approach it ready to attack But the closet is empty and trevor's body is gone Jake is cleaning up nice chucky in his bedroom. Jake asked what it was like when he killed buff chucky Nice chucky says this is this is obviously where some weird things might be going into people's heads as they watch Nice chucky says it felt like he finally knew what he was for because jake even looks at him kind of funny Like what are you talking about bro? Then we jump back to nadine and lexi who come to jake's room to tell him trevor's body is gone They wonder who took trevor's body nice chucky says maybe it was an enemy Father brice talk or takes devin to the church to talk about his misbehavior He tells him to open the bible to leviticus and read it Father brice goes to the office where buff chucky is hanging and asked the nuns. Who should they blame for this? Sister catherine is called out before he jumps to dr. Mixter to blame him or to blame her i meant to say Sister catherine interjects and scolds father brice to remind him that devin is traumatized She walks off after further asserting. She isn't here to please father brice Father brice considers sending devin to a different facility away from incarnate lord Sister roof throws buff chucky in the trash devin rips bible pages out that shame homophobic or shame Homosexuals gay people before throwing the bible across the room in anger tiffani is shown interacting with meg and glenn at her bevelly hills house Meg asked about glinda's whereabouts meg seems to be catching on to the fact that jennifer isn't herself tiffani runs off because she's about to be caught in a lie as an imposter tiffani goes upstairs and it's revealed she kept the tiffani doll from c to chucky Thus it's revealed that jennifer tillie is still alive. So she's been alive this whole time jennifer has been working to help tiffani pretend to be her by answering fan mail pay bills And now she needs help to convince meg that she really is jennifer devin goes to meet up with the girls and jake nice chucky says he hopes they find trevor devin yells at nice chucky about all the crimes he's committed related to his mom and jake's family nice chucky runs off sad and devin comments Or runs off sad about devin's comments jake goes to comfort the doll in the bathroom and explained to nice chucky that charles lee ray was a bad man who split his soul into pieces and that's why nice chucky exists jake tells nice chucky he wants him around because he believes he is good you don't see all on that last lexie talks to devin about the tension between him and jake lexie reminds devin that chucky screws everything up devin says he just doesn't want jake to get himself killed the cell phone chucky had rings and they go through these pictures of cut up parts of a doll is leaving in the woods nadine and devin are holding a baptism from nice chucky in the church devin and lexie look on in disgust before storming off realizing they're on their own sister roof notices the trash buff chucky's in starts to move and she holds a cross up buff chucky gets up out of the trash and says he is risen sister roof thinks chucky is god and ask how she can serve him tiffany waltz downstairs ready for dinner with meg and glenn tiffany pretends to have memories of jennifer's youth but meg tells her she just recited the plot of the blues brothers which means jennifer lied to tiffany tiffany waltz back into where jennifer is being held hostage but glenn and meg walk in jennifer begs her sister for help and of course meg doesn't instantly believe this doll is her sister tiffany kills meg in front of glenn and jennifer glenn asks who tiffany is and tiffany admits she's not jennifer tillie but they are glenn's mother tiffany tries to explain everything to glenn but jennifer keeps interrupting so she gets rid of her glenn is upset because tiffany lied to them since they were little tiffany admits she hates herself but jennifer tillie is a movie star this is a nice moment that again highlights tiffany was always trying to run away from herself tiffany gives glenn the original ship face doll and glenn sold used to occupy with glenn and glenda glenn goes to get glenda so they can see this doll they set the Beverly Hills house to drive off with glenn doll and jennifer in the back seat devin and lexie go to the woods location from the south on and find several dead shuckies with body parts held up on the sticks in some ritual like way they stumble onto a cabin where andy can be seen alive revealing he's alive too doctor mixture is revealed to be in cahoots with the colonel and the colonel is revealed to be another chucky doll as many of us had expected that is chucky episode five again it's a lot more eventful and a lot more fun to watch compared to episode four if you haven't already of course make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notifications so that you never miss a video in the description i will have links on my social media accounts i am on facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there of course let me know if there's any movies news or reviews you would like me to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys i will see you in the next video


Your coca-cola bottler presents Claudia Claudia based on the original stories by Rose Franken brought to you transcribed Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles coca-cola Relax and while you're listening refresh yourself Have a coke and now Claudia Hey, David. Is it Sunday? No, that's Tuesday. That's what I thought Say David I've been thinking How much longer is our lease here? Two months then we'll have to move brilliant and where are we moving to I have no idea That's just it we move in two months and we have no place to move to my heart bleeds for me Well, aren't you concerned at all? Well, certainly I am but it's not the most important thing in the world by a long shot Well, it is to me and I'm gonna find an apartment today And where is this apartment you're planning to find today not far from here mama called last night After you were in bed with your cold She said she heard about a house that was just started to be reconverted be ready in about two months What do you think of that? I think that's pretty wonderful. You don't look as if you thought it you look as though You had something else on your mind Not a thing not a thing on my mind, but you say I've got a hurry. I want to leave with you So I can be the first person there.  It'll be faster than orange. No, I don't mind Just so you take out all the pits out of the label. I'll use the strainer. Oh and David Be sure you wear a warm suit and please be careful today. I won't sit down in puddles. I won't wade through drafts I won't get warm. I won't get cold. How's that? It sounds pretty good. Say David Listen if we were to get this apartment it'd be the sort of thing that doesn't happen to people But it's got to happen to somebody somebody's what happened to us. Don't you think? David you haven't been listening to a word. I said mm-hmm. What's that? Oh Sure, sure. I didn't miss a thing. What'd I say? well You didn't listen No, darling. I I didn't My mind wandered off darling. What were you thinking? Nothing? Nothing special. Is anything wrong? Why should anything be wrong? I don't know Ever since we got up this morning. You seem to be thinking there's something else You only listen to half of what I said Well, I catch the other half the second time around and you aren't excited about the apartment the way I thought you'd be I'll get excited when and if we get it Oh, I'd rather be excited now because then if we don't get it I'll have had all the fun beforehand anyway That's one way of looking at it. Well, I am ready for breakfast. I don't know. You still don't look right to me What's the matter now my tie crooked? No, it's your face crooked No, just different not like you You're sure your cold's all right. My cold is doing fine.  That'll be attractive the coffee should be ready by now Oh David, please smile. I haven't seen you smile all morning. How's this? Not very good.  Don't you like pumpkins? I like pumpkins.  Lady, we've only just begun. There ain't no apartments here, but there will be won't there. Sure. There will be in time We just started on the job.  I'm just the bill. I make apartments I don't rent them. Well, isn't there anybody here? I can talk to about it. Sure. She's right here now call her for you Thank you. Thank you very much. Hey super guess what? Somebody wants to see you about an apartment Say you sound as though there've been a lot of people ahead of me already. You didn't think you'd be the first, did you? well Yes, lady I'm waiting to see the superintendent. Uh, I will help you I am the superintendent. Oh, I thought you'd be a man I live here. I used to be the cook now. They are making over the house and I am watching over And you live here with all this noise going on? It is quiet at night. Oh You know, I never realized that a house could have so much Undone and still stand up. They are only just beginning Uh, you have come about an apartment, huh? There's a lot of people before me, I guess Yes, but it is foolish. This house is not finished maybe for six months Well, I know but I thought I could make a reservation for one Could you tell me about them two rooms three rooms four rooms? Uh more I cannot tell but I it will give you address of the man who sells them who sells them You mean you're ransom. Oh, no, they sell these apartments cooperative You buy them and you own them. Oh, it's that kind of a house Or you you don't want to buy apartment. No, I If if I was going to buy something I'd buy a house We only want a rent. I am sorry. That you will not find here. I thought it was too good to be true You look some more you will find I've been looking. You know, it's not so easy. No No, nothing is so easy these days. I'm afraid not Well, anyway, we don't have to really worry for two months. Oh, that's good Look at all those soldiers. There must be a parade. Oh, look They're so young And they wear uniforms to march in a parade for a war they hardly know about You mean the first war? Yes Our mr. Stay is for the first war So they will march Most of them look too young to fight even the last war But not too young to be in the army now Men march to the first war then to another war Now men march to remember Most of these boys are too young to have anything to remember I'm afraid I am too As your husband in the war. Oh, I wasn't married to him during the war I was lucky, wasn't I? It was all over when we met you were lucky. Yes, and I wasn't around for the first war Seems like I just got under the rope both times I got into the rope like you say both times My husband my son Twice wars Twice my men they go How awful I suppose it's something you you never get used to Saying goodbye Never Now I I try to get used to being lonesome All the time Lonesome you shouldn't be lonesome now Unless Oh, no That couldn't have happened. Yes, it happened Forced my husband Then 30 years later my boy in the pacific the Solomon island It is a place. I never even heard of before And every year Is our mr. Stay For all the wives who are not wives All the mothers who are not mothers All the sweet hearts who have no sweet hearts I think I'd have died if that had happened to me. No, you would not One lives One is left behind to live Someone must live who cannot forget Who remembers not only an army's to stay but And all the long days of the year And if there are enough people who Who can't forget Who remember that way And we won't have any more wars. You are young to say that You have a young hope And now I pray that you keep your husband and you keep your son Makes me feel as if I didn't have any right to them. Oh, you have the right and you must keep the right You must say to yourself See all these young men I want them to be very old men To live And to live together side by side If this comes to be You will never have my loneliness and my sickness In your heart When do we move? Isn't anyone here? Hey, when do we move?  Oh, hello. We're not moving. They were selling apartments not renting them. Disappointed? No, it's not important. Since when? Since today Darling, how's your cold? Much better Oh, David, take care of yourself Don't let anything happen to your promise Hey, hey, what are you so solemn about? David, why didn't you tell me this morning it was armistice day?  I don't see how I could have forgotten Except I didn't have a chance to look at the papers and there was the apartment And I'd forgotten about the bells ringing Look darling, nobody's scolding you. I'm scolding myself. No reason to you knew this morning That was the look on your face And that that's why you weren't more excited about things And I going on as if nothing had happened Well, nothing has happened darling. That's just the point Nothing has happened to me. So Armistice day has just been something left over from the last war. Look, I Didn't expect you to feel anything about it or I would have said something You weren't born in the first war and you were just 12 when this one started So but you were old enough and you remembered this morning. See here darling You can't kick yourself because you just happened to be born a little too late, but if I wasn't Just think how one morning Just like this morning You'd have gotten out of bed Say goodbye I'm gone away someplace. I'd never even heard of before And then maybe not I can't even say it, David Don't say it darling You don't have to Yes, I do I do When others did and gave and Lived through so much. I I didn't even know exactly where some of the places we fought out were You learned a great deal today claudia. I grew up a little today, david That's more than many people do in a lifetime. You know for a while it made me Feel as if I'd lost you I won't forget that Made me a part of everything that's past Here darling Read this A few lines Written by a great man And you'll see just how much you have learned It can be Our moment of silence Here Here's the place You'll read it to me darling All right Listen No man is an island Entire of itself Every man Is a piece of the continent A part of the mainland If a claud be washed away by the sea The continent Is the less Any man's death diminishes me Because I am involved in mankind And therefore Never seek to know For whom the bell tolls It tolls for thee This transcribed program of claudia was brought to you by your friendly neighbor who bottles coca-cola And who thanks you for the privilege of joining your observance Of this armistice day


If you're having too much fun, get on task.  You're trippin'. Don't you see we got serious business in here with us today? This lady got 80 kids she got to look after.  You remember the house boy? He don't want to hear no damn part of the animal. You don't play some baby shark? No, before we even do this, give me some daycare music. Let me see what you got over there for the kids. Grace's corner. Yeah, cause you might get, that might be your next gig. You might be booked over there for daycare. Show me you got range. Show me something you can play for the kids. And it better not be sexy red. I saw that video of all the kids at the school singing sexy red. That's what you play for the kids. I see where you going with this. You can put a nice little message in this. I can see it. Like on some Sesame Street vibes. Like, don't get in the car with strangers. That could lead to some danger. Okay. If you're in trouble, say, I don't know this motherfucker on the double. Okay. Yeah, I like that one. Let's give me more bad time music. Jumping in the bed. It's funny.  All right, stop. No, not for the kids. Let's get back to the serious. All right, man, the black market is over. The black market is over. You might be walking through the black market and them kids just get to run around. Mom, back to this. We got that cover, too. I went and had to call a specialist who runs a daycare, but it don't just stop at the daytime. It's a daycare, but since daylight savings didn't kick in, it's a little nightcare for about an hour because it get dark early. You see what I'm saying? That's what that's what I'm... Hold up, hold up. Wait a minute. We can't start yet. We can't start. I need my sad notes. They what?  Now, I got all these notes about... I know everything. I'm gonna make sure you don't leave nothing out. This is not for me. This is to make sure you say everything because when I ask for the information, people will be like, hmm, they already know. Like, tell them anyway. They don't know who be watching us at the black market. We got people from South Africa, Australia, a few little... I'm not sure if it's Chinese, but it looked like Chinese in the comments. You know how they got the little Chinese? I don't know if it's Chinese or Japanese or Mandarin or whatever it is. They over there and they watching. So pick your camera, whichever...  I do this side. Pick your camera and let them know exactly who you are and what you got going on today on the black market. Hey, I am Katrina Melton, the proud owner of Gen Two Gems Developmental Learning Center, where I serve six weeks through 12 years of age, as well as my new children's author of The Mighty Meltas versus a sickly, sticky situation. Now, how do you know the baby would be six weeks? Um, the birth certificate. Oh, you had to have the birth certificate. I thought you could just app all the baby like two more weeks.  They tried, like around three weeks. I could accept them at three weeks. I just feel like they very fragile and they just need to... Require more care, yeah. Yeah, definitely. How did you get into this industry and start with the kids? Um, since I was a little girl, I always wanted to be somebody's boss. Just, you know, a teacher. That's the most honest answer I have ever heard. Um, I have an older brother and a younger brother, so I typically told them what to do. They was my students while I kinda ran what I ran. Sir, how do you deal with this? She still tells me what to do and I'm older than she is. Really? Really? Who you bringing with you today? My husband. He's the back person up to all of this. Like, he does everything under the scenes. Like, he don't like to be in front. He does everything you tell him to do. Pretty much. He does a good job at it, though. No, that's dope, man. How do you deal with having a bossy lady? I feel like it's a lot of dudes that would love to hear that part. Nah, it's teamwork. You know, she's the vision that I make manifest. That makes sense. That's good. That's the best part about having a team is playing your part.  You want it.   I just picked up some game from there, right there. So, yeah, six weeks to five years old? 12. 12? Mm-hmm. Oh, you see, that's the market right there. They usually make you go to school at five, but... It's after school, so we have an after-school program as well as a summer camp program. See how I parlayed that in there? Mm-hmm. So tell me about the book. Um, so The Mighty Meltins vs. The Stinkly Situation, it's about pretty much a superhero family that fights this virus that corrupts their city. The book came about... I actually went on vacation with my dad for the very first time. So I moved from Chicago to North Carolina because we had a rough... We was pretty much living in an abandoned building. Damn. Yeah. So we ended up moving to Greensboro for a better life. My dad, of course, wasn't around as he should have been. But during this time, we... He decided to come down and actually visit us, and we took him to the beach. And the Lord just pretty much brought upon me, like, you work with children, you know, make a book that talks about COVID to teach the children, you know, why they're not in school, and, you know, what is happening, you know, right now. So I was like, okay, I hear you, Lord. He was like, use your family inside the book as superheroes because our black children is not able to see a family that is married, number one. And I worked for the school system for seven years, and they look upon custodians. And I just want to bring a different field to the book, you know, dad. They don't see dad in the house cooking, so I want the show because he's the cook inside the house. So I just want to bring a lot of that into the book. I end up getting kind of discouraged when it came to the book. So I was like, I don't want to make it seem like I'm kind of like just making COVID kind of... Because people was dying during this time. So I'm just like, how COVID got, you know, involved with, you know what I'm saying, that the bed kind of, it was a bed type thing. So I was like, should I put a bed in the book? It was just a lot of things I was just kind of dealing with, you know, in my mind. So I actually put down a book. Trying to make light of a serious situation. Exactly.  Then I actually went to one of your shows, 85 South Tour. Yes. Inspiring greatness. Yes. So we do. The greats watch us. So this time, we actually had VIP tickets. And you was actually talking about your DJ, DJ Rich, and how he's the digital creator and how he, you know, got the Roche Motel. So I was like, oh, okay, digital creator. So you gave all his information, his Instagram and things of that nature. So I reached out to him and was like, I got this children's book and I would love for you to illustrate it. And he was like immediate, yes. And I say, this has got to be a scam. This cannot be him. So I asked him to FaceTime me and we started collabing. DJ Rich, I'll be here right quick, man. I just want people to see you right quick. Just so they know. Yes. This is our official tour, DJ. DJ filthy Rich. How you doing, man? He ain't even mic'd up.  It's all right. My voice will carry me. Exactly, man. What did you think when she hit you and laid the idea out? I thought it was cool because COVID was crazy. This was still around the time where it was still hitting everybody. Right. I just like to work. I like to create it. So she was like, I want to create this. I'm like, all right, cool. So she was nervous. She was nervous. She was like, I don't know. And then we started going back and forth. And then when I really just like the concept, bro, you know, we got kids. Yeah. I'm like, my kids really only know COVID from getting it. And then what we see on the news. And I just like to take on it's a black family, superheroes. So we actually brought Jeff in too. Shout out to Jeff. Yeah. Because it was just a lot of work. And I'm like, man, I need Jeff to come on in. We made it happen, man. I'm proud of you for coming. See, I'm glad that you came on. And you told that story. Because when people come up, he'll tell you. They'll be like, hey, man, I'm thinking of, and I give them the resources or the contacts to the person who I know would be able to better facilitate that, you know what I mean? And then they don't follow up. I'm like, well, don't waste people time. Why do you want me to do all the work? Like the follow-up, that's really important in business, man, especially when you reach out like that. And then like you said, they reach out. You're not expecting it. They're like, oh, it's got to be fake. They reach back out. Like, shit, take advantage of it. And I'm glad that you did. And now you get to see the final product. Yes. Yeah. That's dope. So when I actually picked back up the book, I ended up with COVID. I had COVID pneumonia. I'm doping pneumonia in my lungs. And I already have autoimmune disease, which is lupus, and stage three kidney disease.  So when I called it, they immediately rushed me. I actually stopped breathing in my sleep, and he woke me up because I went to the doctor, but they sent me home just like a regular person and was like, you just got to go home and rest. You got to go home and heal. So I'm just like, OK, that night I stopped breathing. So when they took me to the hospital, I went into ICU. I was one machine away from the ventilator. And I'm just like, Lord, I do not want to go on the ventilator. Like, I'm pregnant. And I literally felt death coming upon me. So he pretty much healed me from that. And during recovery, I actually finished the book. I was in recovery for 15 days, and the Lord just was giving me everything that I needed to finish the book with. Let me ask you this. Like, you are pregnant, COVID, double pneumonia. It's like, they already, like, not really giving you a treatment for it. They thought I was going to die. You know what I'm saying? Because like, you're pregnant, and then that limits what they can do in a whole other way.   It was God.  When I got diagnosed with lupus, I was going through it. I was pretty much losing my breath. I didn't have breath. So mentally, I've been through so much health-wise. And I know God brought me through it. Just was kind of one of those things is, if I die, I just die. But at the same time, I know He got great out here for me. And I serve too many kids and too many families that are low income to where it's not my time yet. So I just continue to pray to Him and just say, look, you know what you want me to do? You're going to get me through it? And if I have to be your testimony through this? Because I know it's not for me. It's for the people that I serve. And that's the mentality that I had. But during this time, I actually was looking at the day care building that I wanted. We was looking at this building for four years. The lady ended up giving me the opportunity, but she took the opportunity back. So I brought all this day care stuff to have to put in storage. But before I ended up getting sick, I had to print on that building. I was like, look, if this for me, let it be for me, don't let no man stop it. That's when I ended up with COVID and all that stuff happened. She called me when I was in recovery and was like, hey, you could go ahead and rent the building from me. I was in a wheelchair when I left out the hospital on about 60% to 70% of oxygen rolling the inside of papers to be the proud owner of the business that's inside of that building. So. It's a powerful testimony. Somebody's watching this right now that's battling health, needing to hear something, needing to hear some encouraging words. What would you say to them? Just keep fighting. Whatever you're going through doesn't have you just battling it. So you don't have lupus or you don't have heart disease or anything like that. You just battling it. I always sold God to heal me from my health issues. After COVID, I ended up with heart disease. And I'm just like, Lord, one thing I want to ask him is how much more can I take? Because he showed you how much more you could take. He won't give you more than you can handle. Exactly. So I was praying for a heal. I'm just like, Lord, heal me, heal me, heal me. And my prayer for healing kind of turned into Lord, even though I'm dealing with this, don't let it look like that. I'm dealing with this. It just let me be able to live a healthy life going through the sicknesses that I'm currently still dealing with. And having a good husband by my side really just intensified the fight that I have. I was going to ask you this. As a man, we don't deal with that outward emotion too much. And then to see the woman you love battling and you just having to watch and feeling helpless and praying and all that. What did you draw your strength from? What kept you from... Likewise, God. We have four children and I was tasked with the responsibility while she was sick. Everything was on me. His strength was perfect in my time of weakness. So, you know... What did it show you about the man you are, head of household, head of the family?  I'm going to be real. As a man, I didn't have a figure, per se. So, I knew what I experienced. I didn't want my children to experience. So, I was like, you know what? Muscle up. Do what I got to do. It created a strong bond between me and my children also having to go through that. So, as a man, you got to do what you got to do. Yeah, yeah. What's it been like when you recovered, like you said, getting back to... to the normalcy, getting back to the family and seeing... I know you was proud to see that he held it down while you was going through that. What was that experience like for you? Because it's... Like you said, you're coming back from ICU. So, it's your world, but everything's changed now. What was it like for you? It was hard because, like I said, I mean, at this point I still couldn't breathe. Right. So, even though I wanted to do, I couldn't do. So, when he left the household, my oldest daughter was there to kind of say, Mom, you know, I got it, I got it. But she was always there. Even when she was younger, you know, when I was battling Lupus, you know, even like when... Because he ended up having a truck drive. Like, he did truck driving at night, or he did something that night when he was gone from the house, you know, to make additional money. And my daughter had to pick up my son because I had another son during that time. She was like, she had to pick him up because I couldn't do it. So, doing that time to where I was recovering, it was more so I kept trying to... Because I'm gonna go all the time. I don't have time to think because I'm living on the go all the time. So, just having that time to really sit down and think it was hard because so many things was coming through my head and so much...  That's what was gonna be my next question. Proud of themselves on being able to deal with so much and be so strong like they're proud of the strength that they have. Was it hard for you to ask for help or let people help you? Yeah, definitely.  You the boss. You gotta tell me to pipe down. Right. Because, I mean, that's just how I grew up. You know, grown-up homeless, grown-up and poverty, you don't have a choice but to be strong. In nobody's case, see your weakness because you would never know what I'm going through. Even if I have a dollar in my pocket, you wouldn't know because I'm gonna walk around with a smile and just nod my head type thing. Um... But now, I got to the place where I have to learn to just let people do it. Like, right now, I had anxiety coming down here because I'm leaving 80 kids in the hands of a naked worker. Transporting, dealing with families, you know, they could do it. It's just me not being there to see it and continue to micromanage. It was hard. But they've been calling me and saying, we got it, building out on fire. You could just have a good time. So, I'm just like, okay. So, I learned how to kind of do that time that it taught me to just let people take care of you. Yeah. You got it. You know, the type that they got it. When you say you got four kids, when you... You don't work that man so hard you forgot to go on them. But I'm saying, were you, um... surprised to see the new roles that the kids stepped up and did, their responsibilities and getting that, you know what I mean, like going to bed and getting that, you know what I mean, getting into that routine with, you know, that place that you just used to be in there and seeing that since you weren't there, they stepped up and did that thing. Yeah, my kids was kind of always like that. They do what they want to do anyway sometimes, but they're very helpful. Um, because, like I said, I've been dealing with my health for a while now. So, like my son, he's just like, Mom, you need something to drink?   So, my kids, they are aware of what I go through and what I deal with. So, they are prone to just want to help and they know when I'm down in the economy, he's my little preacher.  I'm a tight boy. I'm good. So, I kind of knew he was going to hold it down and be able to manage the family without me because we do it together. What I like he has and what he like I have. He just took on everything that I had and just made sure that he held it down while I was recovering. Somebody watching this right now, saying, man, I love her story. Her spirit, she's so tough. She's so resilient. I would love to have a conversation with her or bring my kids to a daycare or how can they get in touch with you? You could find me on Facebook and Instagram at Trina Bean as well as Gmail at inner voice publishing 23. What would you say to the women, to the audience who may have an idea just like you want to pull their book off? What would you say to them? I kind of used that quote from Dr. Martin Luther King. You know, you see a staircase but you got to take that first step. You got to have faith. You know, if you just had that vision in your head, even if you just, if you put it on paper, if you don't take the step, you just never know where it will get you. So, just take the step. It pretty much push you back when you don't. So, if you take the step then you see the outcome. You see what I couldn't tell them though? Exactly. You can't. It had to happen. I'm looking forward to more books out of the collection. I hope you keep it going. I hope this is number one. Yes, it's number one. Come on, man. So, yeah, let's keep it going. Let's get to 100.  Call us. I think independent. Came up with a publisher name. I'm supporting that 1,000%. Yes. Well, don't, don't stop. Keep going. Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you hit the social media, the website. Support this lady, get her book. She take care of 80 babies out here. That's the future. That could be 80 presidents that you got in there. Or 80 secretaries of states or 80 doctors. We don't know whatever resources that we can provide for you and get you access to through our networks. Please let us know. Because the children are the future. They gonna take care of us when we are old and decrepit. So, I love your story. I appreciate y'all stopping through here. Please don't let this be the last time that we see y'all over here on the black market. All right. Well, look here. Let me let them know. The black market wide open, right now. And that's how we live it.


Good morning and welcome to the CMC Marcus chart of the week video with me David Madden Today's date is Thursday the 14th of March 2019 and the time has just gone 1110 GMT this week's chart of the week is Euro sterling Euro versus the British Pound and Putting aside the politics for one second if you just take a look at the chart We can see what the price action has been doing for the last over months We can clearly see here that Euro sterling has been in a nice downward trend since December 2018 a nice series of lower lows and lower sorry lower lows and lower highs and a fact that the lower low That you reached yesterday was the lowest level of Euro sterling has been since May 2017 so to give an indication of how weak the Euro is versus the British Pound The trend is clearly in a downward trend and if just say if we do continue to see the recent downward trend Continue we could be looking at heading on towards 80 zero spot 84 Which is this region here? We can see that the 84 area zero spot 84 region did militia act as support back in early 2017 So it's a possibility that region might act support again in the near term If you do though see a bit of a bounce back in the Euro versus the British Pound We could see resistance coming to play in around the zero spot 86 area It's a big psychological number, but more importantly zero spot 86 will be roughly the region where this trend line comes into play and if you draw a line between the highs of January 20th of January would also the highs of February and March we get this trend line along here and we can see here that has been well respected on a couple of occasions and If that makes it more likely to respect it again in the near term should we see and move to the upside? So keep an eye out for the zero spot 86 area But if you do see the market trade above that Resistance might be found in at this region here zero spot 86 66 we can see that that is an area that provided both support and resistance recently and making it more likely that it Will do so again in the near term if it do you manage to break above zero spot 86 66 that area we could find some resistance been found in around the zero spot 88 region We can see that on a few occasions in January in February Early February and mid February that is zero spot 88 region did managed It's a better consolidation so that region could be important in the near term Looking at the politics of the situation last night in Westminster MPs may have voted against I know deal Brexit now There's no guarantee that I know deal Brexit won't happen just because they voted against it They've just politically shown their hand They've made a clear message to Brussels that they don't want a no-deal scenario So we don't so as a sands the UK is set to leave the EU on the 29th of March And the current arrangement is for a no-deal but MPs last night made it clear they don't want a no-deal so the vote tonight at 1700 GMT 7 p.m. UK time There's going to be a vote on extending article 50 now if the FMP is to vote to extend article 50 That would have to be approved by Brussels What we've seen in recent weeks and months any signs of an extension or even a possibility of a node of No Brexit happening whatsoever any of those signs where they've been potentially on the table We have seen British pound advance and put pressure on the euro So keep your if you are trading euro starting, please keep an eye out for the politics That will be in play later on in later on this afternoon And if you are trading the euro versus the British pound, please keep an eye out for the euro's all inflation numbers Which are up here to do off tomorrow at 10 a.m. GMT Finally if any comments to make on this video or any of the other videos we've made here at CMC markets Please feel free to leave review on cookies and that's all for me this week. Thank you very much
