Right, everyone. So if there are any further questions, please feel free to enter them into the chat. Otherwise, we can actually, I think move on to our next presentation. And that will be featuring 3 presenters. And so we're going to move over into the open footprint demo of the reference in the implementation. And that's going to be covering how to install and configure how to access how to use. And the plan for 2021, we will have the moderator, which will be Sammy. And then our 2 presenters, which will be taking you through the demo. Are Booby, I like to say Booby, it's Boopender thing. Shala is a program manager at emphasis and is also leading the open footprint UI development project. He's based out of my sore India and Booby leads digital transformation programs for the oil and gas majors. Gert Williams is a account CTO at IBM with his technical leadership and expertise in oil and gas and new engines energies. He has created open hybrid cloud architecture to build sustainability platforms that have enduring impact to the clients reimagine. Now, new normal and Garrett has an open group distinguished it architect certificate in defining architecture and holds a MS degree in electrical engineer from the University of 20 in the Netherlands. So, without further ado, I will turn it to all of you. Sammy, if you want to. Start then I'll close down. Thanks. Alrighty. Perfect. Thanks. Heidi. Appreciate it. And. And Booby, thanks for joining today and we'll key you guys up here. So, and Booby, I think you should have. The ability to share your screen at the time at the appropriate time, but we'll we'll we'll test out the fun of WebEx. Okay. Good. All right. So thanks everybody for joining again. We've got a good discussion. I think today around the reference implementation. We'll walk you through a little bit of an introduction around what is this taught and then actually get quickly over to a demonstration. And then we'll talk about next steps and QA. I'll tee up the conversation today. I mean, I think as we talked about. You know, yesterday, you know, if you go back to sort of, what are we trying to accomplish?  We're trying to share information. We're trying to visualize data. We're trying to report information to stakeholders. Appreciate there might be multiple systems out there. There might be multiple technologies, a whole bunch of spreadsheets. I would imagine that have all this. But as we talked about yesterday, there's, there's a bit of a reference architecture that we've got and an ability to share data. Sorry. Sorry. It's John. I hate to cut in here, but unless you retain presenter, if you move the slides, nobody will see them moving unless you're the presenter. Okay. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. You have to retain present. I will make you present again. But if you move the slides, you'll see them moving on your screen, but nobody else will see them moving unless you're the presenter. Okay. Ah, okay. Perfect. Thanks. Thanks for the clarification, John. Yeah, when you're ready to hand over to Boopy, you hand over then. Okay. But not until that point. Okay. Alrighty. Thanks, John. Appreciate it. Good. Good. Good. Can everybody see the agenda slide now? Yes. Thank you.  Okay. Good. All right. So these are my four graphics from earlier around calculating the carbon footprint and so on and so forth.  So, excellent. All right. So these are the objectives that we're trying to accomplish. What I want to do is maybe hand this over to now to Gert Willem who walk us through how is this architecture influencing and then let's talk, let's maybe go through a real live example, I think. So Gert Willem, if I can turn it over to yourself. Well, thank you, Sammy. Yeah, absolutely. So, I'm here from harsh is working in the middle viable product team. And what we have done here and that's also the picture that you see on the slide right now is building an architecture for a simple architecture basically to start the MVP. So we started with this within with a simple version of, you know, the architecture that will be on the roadmap later on but we thought, let's start simple and let's start fast in that way. What is important to mention here and before we go into demonstration that the architect is completely on open architecture. So, so it is an open architecture that helps us as the whole community under the open group in the open footprint to co develop for this important sustainability use cases and carbon footprint. And I will go in a minute in the different layers that we have laid down. But it's important to notice that that the architecture is really should be really inviting almost for all the innovation that's that we would like to do within this important community. And to illustrate that on the left hand side you see a couple of concentric circles right and this illustrates just an illustration of what type of users you could have for the open data platform for the for the open footprint data platform. So you could think of, you know, large companies that have to capture their data in a consistent way for for carbon footprint. But also use cases for governing bodies for certifying agencies or maybe other stakeholders there that are going to use the platform to report things see insights from dashboards, etc. So the very important group of stakeholders there as well. And then the outer circle, you see all sorts of other things, like even electrical vehicles, really like you know smaller agents that will make use of this data platform as well even natural persons or households. Why is that important because that gives and provides the context for the architecture. And therefore it's fully scalable to the different scales that the platform needs to work for. On the right hand side to a couple of layers and so really a simplified version of a more complex versions that we have seen before and also probably doing this. The two days and also maybe some other open footprints and meetings that you have attended. I'm looking now at the right hand side where you see green box right open footprint data platform. That's basically the platform that we are working on different layers simplified version again. But what is super important is the layer of standardized API's the standardized API's will expose the functions of the platform to the whole ecosystem of developers users of the open platform. And these API's are, you know, besides their standards, they will also be exposed fire the platform and they provide and realize the functions of the system data services but also other services that will provide you data lineage and all the things that we have been talking about during these two days. And of course there are some ingression services as well to get the data in right. This whole green box is running on what we call a data control pane. So this data control pane is really almost like an, like an think of an, of one control plane to manage and your data, cover your data, segment your data, etc. And security is of course super important as well if you are ending up with a multi tenant platform as well later on, not now and don't get me wrong, not now but later on that's all all the architecture should really envision that. And then of course this this this step needs to run on infrastructure services well think of clouds, think of the cloud hyperscale is that we have where the infrastructure will be completely embedded. So just as an as an as a starting point for the conversation what we are going to show you in a minute the demonstration of, you know, the first middle viable products. So if you can go to the next slide or should I do it myself as Sammy. I don't know if you can switch to the next slide or I don't have a button here. You have control. Thank you. Thank you so much. The objective of today is to show you really the carbon lifecycle of a product. So we took a product and I'll come back into that in a minute, we took a very specific product that we all know. I'm going to show you how that life cycle and to end could be supported by the data platform and how we have been doing that with our demonstration with our MVP with about five of products. And that's the second objective of courses to try to reach right to understand how the capabilities of the current MVP can support let's say this very simple use cases now. But also, you know, what could be an inspiration for the future and the roadmap in the future. So let's go to our story. Thank you. So our story is a very concrete story. We are going to talk about a very simple product that everyone probably knows the destroy that everyone knows it's a bad. So this story is a day in the life of a bet. Of course with a wink here. And think of the bats that you buy at this, you know, large company, where, where you have companies in the world that have, you know, redo it yourself that's right. They are pre produced, but you still have to do work, do some work on it yourself to use screwdrivers planks and put all the bets together at home. So this type of bet we have imagined here. And as you know, there is quite a quite an effort and quite a string of actions that has happened before you have that bet finally in your bedroom and when you can use it. And we have simplified our story here because you know, this is a super complex end to end process but we have simplified it here. And our story starts really at the beginning where the battle really has been produced. And we know that there is a whole story before that for producing let's say the planks, the sheets, the mattresses, everything. But here we simplify the story. There is a company Acme imaginary company Acme producing has produced a bet and the end result is that they have boxes a couple of boxes that will be used. That will, you know, ultimately are the ingredients for this fantastic bet. And what the thing is that so once it has been produced near the global manufacturing side of this Acme company. Those global manufacturing sites normally would have warehouses or real hardware warehouses from where the shipment starts of these components of the bet to the different markets either in Europe, US, Australia, Indonesia. Imagine the whole is a global company. And for that you really need, you know, transportation quite a string of transportation as a matter of fact, to bring the product from the manufacturing site warehouses by using vehicles, going to for example a harbor where the harbor material handles the pieces of the bet into, you know, vessels, the vessels go to a certain area of the world where the goods are unloaded into cars or trains or whatever. You can imagine there is a whole string of transportation to be done there. But we also would like to address you that in the meantime, our main character Mary is going to be very inspired by, you know, a new bet and she is starting to look into catalogs go to websites of Acme. Maybe she is going to do some visits to the store already. This whole thing of inspiring and the cell selling process is of course an important step here as well. We have to consider that if we want to have an end to an picture of the carbon footprint of this, you know, very simple product like a bet, like a bet. And imagine then at a certain good day, when Mary is going to pick up her bet she is decided what bet she wants she would like to have goes to the store, clicks on a couple of things and then she needs to pick up all the ingredients from the distribution area of the store.  The last aspect that we would like to show here is that, you know, from a totally different angle, for example, you know, customer success managers of of this company, for example, then needs to be able to really look at what is the carbon intensity of this product. So then needs reports dashboards, complete understanding of what the footprint is of this very specific product debate. So in other words, we have created here a really a day in a life probably a bit more than a day but you know, figuratively speaking a day in the life of a bet that shows basically all the aspects of of what it would take to capture all the data the carbon data in a consistent way by making use of the open footprint platform. So let's go to the next slide. Real quick, because we'll see everything in action in a minute. So what you will see is, first of all, as we've mentioned when the story starts when you have this bad acne company has produced a bet. We first have to set up the system, right, we first have to define the organization of acne the different facilities that they have the processes that they use to produce the bands. Also, you know, the scope and the scope of what you are going to account for this will be super important as well everything you will see from the data model that Gommar has shown on the on the first day yesterday will be here as well when it all starts. Can you go to the next slide please. And then it all starts with, you know, if we just dive into, for example, transportation and the different steps in the transportation, how our platform will be able to support the capturing of the of the of the of the greenhouse gas emissions of all the steps that are part of this end to end process as well as something we're going to show. Please go to the next slide. Thank you. And then also what is important here is that as we have been talking about, let's say also other steps like inspiring sell and a digital footprint that this product can have as well. We need to have a dashboard in the future that will really show and capture all the aspects of of of producing things like a bet. So that will be be discussed as well. So first of goods. This is only the theory. Let's go into practice and let's see how this all is done in a live demonstration.  All right, so hi everyone, my name is Boopy program manager in process, and I'll quickly walk you through the screens for the reference UI that we have developed. So as we discussed in yesterday's architecture session as well, this is just a reference UI. So it comes as part of the whole platform bundle that you'll install on your organization infrastructure. So this is the reference point and you're obviously free to develop your own applications as you move forward, as long as the basic data platform and the API is exposed are being utilized. So this is completely open source following the open group practices, the right from the login page that you see right now. It's developed through key clock, which is our open ID based identity provider. So that's the identity provider that we have used. So like a normal UI, you provide your user ID password and you had the sign in button. If you are an authorized user, it will take you to the homepage of the application. So if I move to the next page. Right. So that's the homepage of the application in the interest of time. I'm just showing you quick snapshots and to avoid the typographical errors in the use case that we talked about. So this is the homepage of the application. Very simple UI that we have built to just ensuring that we keep it simple. The bottom tiles that you see here are just informational tiles and the real navigation happens through the top navigation bar. And the way we have categorized these modules is a typical workflow that anybody will follow when they are trying to enter their data and generate the reports out of it. So I'll just quickly tell you about those modules. So the first one is inventory boundary that's where you set up your organization, your organization structure, the boundary data, what are the GHG sources and so on and so forth. Once you do all that configuration, you come to start entering this data, which is through the emission data module. And once you have entered all your emission data, you start reporting out of it. So we have kept very simple reports in this application. And I believe there are already projects that is running around to develop more sophisticated visualizations on top of the same platform. So just to keep simple, we have simple tabular reports built in this application itself, which you can again enhance using whichever visualization tool you use in your organization. The last module that you see is admin module where we can enter the reference data. So all the dropdown list or lookups that we have used in this application, you can manage all that data through admin. All right, I'll move forward. So the use case that we have picked up, which Gert just explained right now, a day in a life of a bed. So let's say I am the Acme company organization admin who's actually set up this tool for the first time. So normally I'll download the platform. I'll put it into my organization infrastructure. The platform gives me this reference UI. I launched the UI. The first thing I have to do is set up my organization structure. Why? Because that's how you will actually eventually report your data as well. Let's say you want to report at an organization level or sub organization level or a particular facility. So and it could be it could be simpler organization. It could be much more complex organization with a lot of hierarchy levels in your organization. So the tool is flexible enough to cater to those levels and even the simplest one. So in this example that you see Acme organization, it's a corporate level, which is the top most level. And the industry sector, it belongs to his pulp and paper. It's Acme woodenworks. And then we can add a registration number, a dance number or a registration number for your organization, which ultimately you will actually use in your emission report. When you are publicly publishing your reports, you include some basic details including your registration number and so on and so forth. Your organization address, your contact details, all key people that you want to include. So this is your basic corporate or top most level setup of the organization. Then we move on to the next levels of your organization starting with sub organization. So let's say in our example, the Acme company has one unit for manufacturing and another unit for distribution or transporting the actual bid to its end user or the customer. So I've added Acme manufacturer as a sub organization. It's a subsidiary again, same industry. So you have a flexibility of adding the industry at the at the sub organization level as well. And then similar fields, your address and contact details for the sub organization. Similarly, a distributor as another sub organization here you can see the sector is actually service or an office based organization, which is just a distribution center for Acme company. So that's how you will set up your subsidiaries and your corporate level. Then comes the business area. So in which regional area you are actually doing your business. If you want to report your emissions based on that, you can form that structure here. So you can see we have Asia Pacific as one of the region and Europe has another business area. So after that we have the facility. So if you want to report your data and you want to track at the facility level your actual offices, you can do that as well. You can set up your facilities. So in our use case we have Acme China and Acme Holland. China is the actual manufacturing unit and Holland is where the distribution happens. So that's how you'll completely form your organization structure before you start entering the data. The next level of configuration that you do is the boundary setup, which is kind of the heart of the application where you define the GHG sources. At the organization level, sub-organization level or at the facility level. So these are the steps involved in the boundary setup, which is organization boundary, GHG sources, facility level, GHG sources and the sector attributes. So as you saw during the organization setup, we can choose a sector for your organization and sub-organization. So similarly catering to different sectors. We have this sector attribute because every industry will have some very specific way in which they report the data or because of the manufacturing processes and so on and so forth. There will always be some sector specific attributes, which can be included here. And that's where the flexibility of the platform comes into picture. So step number one, organization boundary. I've selected Acme China financial control. Yes, operational control as yes. Similarly for Holland, we provide the equity share between your different sub-organizations. And then you move on to add the GHG sources. So in this particular example, as I said, Acme China is where the manufacturing is happening. So we have Scope 1 emission, the GHG category as the emissions imported energy. So what electricity you are consuming from that unit, that's as one of the GHG sources. Similarly on the distribution center for Acme, we have the electricity consumption in there as well. So similarly you can add the other facility level GHG sources. Then comes the sector attributes, the flexibility that I was talking about that you can define your own parameters. So for the group transportation, I've added these two parameters that customer commute are fictional. Customer Mary actually travels or takes her car and travels to the distribution center. And from there, she normally tries to interact with the salesperson or tries to choose her bed. And then finally that bed gets transported using the company transport. So those are sector specific attributes which can be added. Similarly, these can be added for shipping industry, for cement industry and so on and so forth. So then comes the entry of the emissions data, that's our emission data module. So till now we have seen how I set up my organization boundary. Then how do I define my GHG sources at facility and sub-organization level. So after doing all that, I come and start entering the data at organization level, sub-organization level and so on and so forth. So in our example, electricity consumption is one of the GHG source. So we are generating or we are entering data for January to March, what was the amount of energy consumed and what was the type of the material. So whether it's CO2, NO2 and so on and so forth. What was the method type, whether you were actually able to measure this or it's a calculated value like we just heard about the calculation engine part. That's what will drive that kind of calculation. And you put the emission data and the unit of measure. So the number of GHG sources you have these panels will repeat for that you will enter the data. And this is again a reference UI if you want to import from your existing databases or something that obviously is extensible architecture that we have in place. If you don't want to do the data entry from this UI or you want to build your own UI, the architecture is flexible enough to support all that. Okay, so that's on the emissions data entry. So once you've added all your data, we saw for one unit and this is for the seconds of organization that we have. So similar calculation again for the electricity consumption group, Jan, March quarter, what is my overall calculated or the emissions quantity. So that's for the ECME distributors. Moving on to the simple report that we were talking about including the sector attributes. So first part in the emissions data was the GHG sources and the flexibility which I was talking about that you can enter parameters specific to your industry. So for ECME distributors in our example, we have the customer compute and the company transport as the specific parameters for which you can enter the unit of measure and value. So that's how you report or enter the data or the sector specific attributes. Moving on to the simple reports which I talked about. So you can create reports for a particular period. Let's say the one particular quarter or start date or end date based on how frequently you report this data. So ideally whatever data you have entered through the platform, you should be able to generate a report out of it. That's the idea. And as I said, we want to keep it simple. You can enter as create as many simple reports here and for this particular quarter, this is a sample report. So for the ECME example that we have for ECME China facility, I have this much emissions and for ECME Holland, these are the calculations or the emissions. So this is obviously simple tabular report, but you can create your dashboards. As I said, we are already working on the visualization project. All this data can be visualized in future. So you can have as many charts or as many dashboards like what you see right now. All right, I think that's about it from my side. So over to you Gert and Sammy. And Boopy, thank you for that. I think it's sort of a useful representation. And I think a couple of things that I want to kind of leave with as we get closer towards the end and also potentially open it up for some questions as well. And I see some questions already in the chat window here. I mean, I think so two things. You know, if you think about the story that Gert Willem, you know, described, right, everything from sort of that manufacturing of that bed to the distribution to the transport, you know, to the customer buying, et cetera. I mean, if you think about what we're trying to do once again to sort of represent that emissions across the supply chain, right? Look at it across different organizations, different umbrellas, different lenses and so on and so forth. In some cases, we may need to be able to share that information across organizations in our simplistic example, everything was sort of owned by ACME. In reality, that's probably not likely the case or might be a shipping company, there might be a supply chain company that's that's actually making the beds and so on and so forth. You can imagine that this is extended supply chain that are then doing their own calculations or their own emissions and being able to share that information across so that you have a complete information or complete representation of your impacts. And then finally to be able to visualize that whether it's by the company or by the customer or wherever it might be. Okay, a couple of key things I want to kind of point out and I want to emphasize once again. One is this concept of open architecture, right? It's a reference architecture that's available for use now. And as Boopy mentioned, there are folks that might type that in or calculate the emissions as we saw from William and Javier earlier. You might already have existing systems like your SAP or your SPHERA systems or whatever it might be that are calculating emissions, importing that data in. I see a question from Raymond on the Q&A around potential uses of blockchain, absolutely, right? All those different channels of getting data into the system are all feasible. But at the end of the day, we have a common reference architecture and a common data model that we're all working so that as different organizations, as different ecosystems, partners and so on and so forth and as different technology providers bring their technology. We've got a common way of sharing and communicating and storing and processing that information and equally so visualizing it. So something to consider as we go through this, keep in mind, this is MVP, so deliberately so we wanted to start somewhere. I'm sure there's lots of things that we can and should be doing equally. There's probably some areas that vendors and software partners and technology providers have already are in the space and we just need to align into the open architecture. Okay. Carol, Bill, anything I'm missing on this diagram that we wanted to cover? No, you made a very good summary, I believe, Sammy. It is still, you know, I hope this will be a bit of an inspiration of what can be done with the platform and it is really early stage. But you have to start somewhere, right? Yes. Yeah, exactly.  I see being able to represent those emissions, you know, whether that's being inputted, whether that's being imported, whether that's being integrated from systems and blockchains and so on so forth. And then being able to share the other important thing about the reference architecture and part of what we're showing is ideally this reference architecture exists in multiple, you know, instances, multiple organizations and the ability to share information via through APIs and some of that reference architecture stuff that we've looked at yesterday and today makes it easier so that if you're the transport company, you might be quantifying your scope on emissions because of the ships and the boats.  I know Gommar yesterday talked about upstream versus downstream emissions, same kind of concept that we've got the ability to share that information. Okay. Good. All right. A couple of more slides and then I'll open it up for some questions. What's next for us? I mean, I think we're going to continue to validate the reference implementation against test data sets. We want to make sure that it's fit for purpose, that it accurately represents the footprint. Once again, there's organizations that have been tracking this, but now how do we make sure that it's a consistent way to do that. We definitely want to continue to look at the calculation engine. So embed that as William and Javier talked about earlier today. How do we then fit that into the, into this architecture that we've seen in terms of the platform. Or alternatively, if organizations are really going to be leveraging their own solutions, whether they built it or bought it, you know, to be able to facilitate that in.  So, so ideally that's, that's, that's sort of what's ahead of ahead of us in the journey. We're still in that MVP state. So we still need to actually finish out this MVP and get that published so that people can download it, install it, play with it and touch it and so on and so forth. But anyways, just maybe a good starting point. Okay. Good. I think that I do want to just kind of give a couple of credits because it's what you see, although we will be covered that in a very short period of time. In 15 minutes it represents a lot of hard work by by emphasis and Wipro and IBM and Shell who've contributed significantly to the development of that. Once again, it's it's it's a starting point you've got to start somewhere. I'm sure there's probably a thousand things that we can add to it. And I know every time I look at it I'm like, oh wait, what about this what about this and we'll continue to evolve and grow that. But the key thing is that we've got a common, you know, taxonomy common rough data model and so on and so forth. Okay. Good. Alright, I think that's pretty much all I had for for today I know we've got a fair amount of time still left in the agenda we've got about 15 minutes that we wanted to leave for any questions or comments. Any questions outstanding semi yes. Yes, yeah, perfect. Yeah, I was just kind of scrolling through here. Perfect. Yes. Excellent. Jared Willem, do you want to maybe take the question around the the architecture one that I see from mono and then I'll maybe cover some of the other ones. Let me read it out maybe that might be easier because I was looking through the. Yeah, let me. Yeah, let me read it out so so the question from mono is how would this architecture prevent duplicate reporting. Example who should report example is shipper or receiver should report. Yeah. No. So that that is also you know the architecture itself can support it but I think it will be important to define the processes here as well the boundaries of where you can, where you will report or will be very important. The data model includes those boundaries. The duplicates that can happen if you're receiving the product or if you're producing the product is is supported by the data model but you have to make sure that the desperate that you're creating on top of the data model are really taking care of those boundaries as well. I think the, the concept and the concept of the different scopes and the concept of the upstream and downstream model that that I'm referring to also what Homer was talking about yesterday facilitates that the implementation that we have right now is a first implementation of the data model, but there is work to be done to, to support that further that's that's for sure. So I think it's a very good question. Yeah. Yeah. I think that spot on your will admit, I mean if you think about sort of the reporting in some ways, you may consider duplicate reporting but it's really more accurately representing your, your, your, your impacts your footprint from an organizational perspective so you might have a logistics company a shipper over in our in our example here. And they're generating emissions right there ships have diesel and they're, you know, burning, and that's generating emissions and that's part of their scope one emissions. Equally that might be attributed to scope three scope two or scope three emissions for for other organizations so, you know, things to consider that that that in some ways it's it may be duplicative but in many ways it's representative of the entire scope and that can also represent for example things like when you get into the, the emissions that are associated to your, you know, to the products that you could, you know, or goods and services that you that you're, you know, that you're providing or selling so to speak. So hopefully my answer to your question. Maybe a separate question I think that I see here. Hopefully, are we going to have a master data validation and automation for scope one two three based on a mission type from operation source and the scope will be auto, auto determined. I'll maybe I'll take a first pass to that one good Willam and happy to get your thoughts and Johan feel free to chime in as well. I will say, eventually yes. I don't necessarily know if everybody has their firm handle on especially the scope threes I think ones and twos are probably a little bit probably more easier to find. But I think once you get into scope three that might be a little bit tricky to start to auto determine that isn't that doesn't say that we can't start to be able to track what our scope one two and three within the system and to be able to validate that. Yeah, I think that's definitely an achievable thing. You know, whether that's the highest priority for an organization versus just the sharing of information. That's that's probably something for us as a community to decide. Yeah, you're correct. I'm not to add to that. Sammy you spoke on. Good. Good. And then last but just make sure I don't miss any questions here. I think Raymond, I got, I got yours already. And Alice just to come back to your question, which is I think sort of a build up from from from the earlier presentation from from William around the calculation engine. So just to talk through that and I think it's a couple of flavors. So first of all, the methodologies that we put into these calculations engines are generally certified they're either ISO standards or the regulatory driven. So those are the engines that those are the calculations that you would embed and then ingrained embed into the calculation engines or into whatever tool that you have. The calculation engine itself often is assured by a third party, you know, auditor verifier than those are those are certified people that do that. We'll have to go back and investigate to see if there's the calculation engines actually get officially certified by a standard or that's through the verification process. I myself I'm not as familiar, but it's I think it's a good, it's a good takeaway for us to consider. Because at the end of the day, we want to make sure that people have comfort that the calculations that are being done or correct and a right and the methodologies are being used. I think we can definitely ensure that the calculations and the factors that are being used in the open source are representative of of the, you know, the standard calculations, the endorse calculations, the regulatory ones, whether that be EPA or, you know, you coa or, you know, I peak or any of those different areas. I think we'll also find that there's a lot of different interpretations of those regulations. And so, and oftentimes, even with carbon, for example, you might have multiple multiple methodologies that are both equally applicable as well. So there's there's some complexity to it, but it's a good point that's that's taken. But also important over here that we, of course, using metadata keep track of what calculates we're using how we use this calculation people can always go back to later say okay. This calculates was used this release and this was used for the whole metadata stories also important to support for future reference. And just to build on that to you as you think about it is sparked an idea in my head as well or comment to my head is also some of these methodologies that are coming we've we've now seen advances in satellite imagery for methane data. The regulators themselves and the verifiers themselves are still catching up to those as well. So how sure they how certain are they, how do they align with the regulations. I think there was also a question on blockchain by Raymond. Yeah, we already responded to that. Maybe I get a general statement about blocks and people often asked that. Over time, we will add blockchain and also say we mentioned that we will add blockchain to the mix. As I said yesterday, at the moment, we're still crawling. And I see blocks in being running. So it will be important when you want to do a proof or did you really say that the values you put in are the real values. So over time, we'll be at blockchain to the to the platform. Yes, we clearly will. It will not happen to me today. No, we will not happen to me today for the reason just gave other questions from the group. And once they can try to miss anything, I think, you know, AI. I think just to just to build on that Raymond, I think, you know, equally so I think that's that's sort of in the run phase of versus the crawl. Equally, I think, you know, I think there there are. Once again, I think technologies exist out there for, for. You know, applying artificial intelligence into some of this some of these may be not as proprietary or some of them may be proprietary to specific vendors that, you know, feed off the data from our platform. Alternatively, as more open source methodologies come into place, that could be something that we consider into the AI as well. I mean, equally, I think it's important to understand what are we using the AI for? I mean, once again, I go back to the key purpose of what we're trying to do is make sure we can effectively report and share information, especially across boundaries. Some organizations may may like to implement some of that AI at a much more operational level as well. So we'll have to assess that, but I think it's a good point as well. To see that and also in the AI space is also, you know, is it really for prevention or is it to understand where we're seeing gaps deficiencies and potential. You know, challenges to meeting very various carbon targets and so on so forth. So it's good. It's a good point to bring in. Maybe to add to that, build on that. We see, yeah, when we look at our artists we showed yesterday, the application space is not really part of the open footprint. It's really where people can shine, can differentiate, and again, the proprietary solutions. AI, of course, is very much part of that space. So AI will exploit the data in our open footprint environment for the AI, for the API layer. And you also look at AI where companies want to differentiate, want to do something special, and they have a lot of the AI, not everything. They can also be AI in the data platform layer, but a lot of AI, when we see learning, we see these other things. They really fall under that great piece where we say there's outer scope of footprint work. That's what people want to differentiate, want to shine, want to have their own proprietary solutions. Yeah, good. All right. Anything else, I think. Any other last questions? If not. So, Gerb Willem, Boopie, thank you so much. And Heidi, if I can turn it back over to you. Absolutely. And thank you all. Thank you, Sammy. Thank you, Boopie. Thank you. Got well, excellent, excellent session and overview of the demo.


When man or animal is exposed to organophosphorous poisons such as nerve agents, a vital nervous system enzyme colonesterase is inhibited. This enzyme splits or causes hydrolysis of acetylcholine. The resulting respiratory failure along with other effects will cause death within a few minutes due essentially to overstimulation. One symptom of organophosphorous poisoning is neuromuscular block, failure of muscles needed for respiration, inducing anoxia and cardiovascular collapse. Another symptom is bronchoconstriction, contraction of the smooth muscles of the tracheobronchial tree causing increased resistance to airflow. These physiological manifestations may be readily demonstrated. Prior to exposure, inspiration and expiration require little effort. However, when the bellows simulating the lungs is restricted, a decided increase in pressure is required to move air. Likewise, tightening the clamp on the apparatus which simulates the tracheobronchial tree decreases the airflow into the bellows. Consequently, increased pressure would be needed to move the same volume of air into and out of the bellows or into and out of the lungs of man. At the U.S. Army-Edward Arsenal Chemical Research and Development Laboratories, experiments to improve resuscitative methods and devices for treating nerve agent casualties constitute an important program. This goat has been anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium and an endotracheal tube inserted to facilitate control resuscitation. A pneumotachograph is attached to record airflow. The animal's vital signs such as blood pressure, electrocardiogram, airflow and transpulmonary pressure are recorded for later evaluation. Three resuscitative methods were tested during this experiment. First, a low pressure-cycled commercially available resuscitator not designed for nerve agent therapy. Second, a man's lungs used as a bellows to force air into the animal's lungs. This method is based on the moth-demoth principle of resuscitation. Third, a military model resuscitator is tested. This bellows pressure assembly works somewhat like a mechanical man as it applies ventilation. The device increases pressure only when needed to overcome resistance of the casualties airway. For an animal under conventional anesthesia, any of the three resuscitative methods will provide adequate ventilation to supplement breathing. Five times the lethal dose of nerve agent is administered. Colonesterase inhibition results in the usual symptoms of a nerve agent casualty. In particular, decrease in lung compliance, increased airway resistance, generalized muscular twitching and both thick and copious salivation. The commercial resuscitator is a low pressure-cycled device not adequate to provide sufficient inflating pressure to overcome the constriction of the bronchiolar musculature. This suck and blow device cycles at a low pressure limit and activates rapidly, but does not move air, as indicated by the rapidly oscillating needle on the pressure gauge. The mouth-to-tracheal tube method does overcome the smooth muscle constriction and provides proper ventilation by raising the pressures applied to the lungs. The operator is aware of his efforts because he can observe the excursions of the chest, indicative of air movement into the lungs. As he inflates the animal's lungs, he can sense the pressure necessary to overcome the increased lung airway resistance. After allowing the nerve agent to again take full effect, the military resuscitator, which is volume-limited pressure-cycled, is attached. This too has sufficient reserve pressure to overcome the broncho constriction. The impedance or resistance offered by the animal determines the pressure required to give adequate ventilation. As resistance to airflow increases, higher pressures are needed to affect air movement. When the military model is made a more patent airway, the commercial resuscitator is temporarily able to function. But the smooth muscles will constrict again unless antidotes are administered. The antidotes are atropine and 2-pan chloride. Atropine, the classic drug, is administered to block the adverse effects of accumulated acetylcholine. No anticholinergic drug has been found to warrant replacement of atropine in the treatment of nerve agent poisoning. The 2-pan chloride is used to reduce the neuromuscular block. This reactivator helps in quicker regeneration of the cholinesterase, which has been inhibited by the nerve agent. The nares, which may be hyperactive during labored breathing, show a response to therapy by moving less. Experimentation has shown these drugs to be apparently successful in treating anticholinesterase intoxication. But adequate ventilation is also vital, and no matter what method of resuscitation is used, the airway must be open. In the light of this knowledge, there is genuine promise that superior and more effective resuscitative devices and procedures can be developed.


Good morning everybody, JR Fisher here. It is Friday, look at that. We made it through the week, it's Friday. And you know what it is? It's the last day of April. My gosh, tomorrow's gonna be May. Can you believe it? We're a third. We are a third of the way through 2021. And it seemed like 2020 just dragged on forever, didn't it?  So let's see what's going on here. Paul says, what does Paul got to say? You really don't appreciate using time wisely until you start making videos. So important to have a plan and not just wing it. Yes, definitely. 100% guys, that's very true. Paul, or James says it's loud and clear in Savannah. Thank you so much for that sound check. Hey guys, don't forget to subscribe. Hit that subscribe button down there if you would. Don't forget to ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so that you're notified each and every time I go live or I upload a video. Today, I've got a plan. I use my time wisely. I've been sneezing too, man. I hope I don't keep sneezing. Paul says loud and clear, brother. Good, good, good, good, good. Man, yesterday I was sneezing up a storm. But anyhow, if you're new guys, we do this training every day to help you guys start running, grow online businesses. We have some fun. We talk to each other. Today is gonna be about time management for digital marketers. And believe me, believe me, it is different if you work online. Paul said something about the video thing. Yeah, man, time management's really important when you're editing videos.  Let's see here. All right, I'm just, I'm looking at it. Had a plan the other day, but fell apart and had to wing it. We'll do it live. I remember that recording. Some of you don't remember it. I won't get into it. It was somebody famous who was yelling and screaming and people just trying to do their jobs. No point in doing that. You ain't no better than anybody else. Always remember that. You know, it was funny. When I was like in my 20s, I worked at a car dealership and I was a finance manager. And I was telling my boss who really was kind of a friend. He was an older guy, elder guy. He was probably in the 60s at the time. And I thought he was this old man.  They don't know how important I am. They don't know how much I do for this place. And he looked at me, he says, someone take your fist and stick it in a bucket of water. And when you pull out your fist, the amount of time it takes for that hole to fill up is how long it'll take for them to fill your job. And it kind of put me at my place. I'm like, well, maybe I'm not so important. Maybe I'm not so important. Maybe I'm not so important. I'm like, well, maybe I'm not so important. Maybe I'm not so special. None of us are important or special, but we're all special in our own way. But you ain't no better than anybody else. And we're gonna talk about time management today. But guys, if you have any questions about starting, running and growing your online business, put it in that chat section over there. I would greatly appreciate it. I love your comments. I love your suggestions. I love your questions. It means so much. And that interaction in that chat section there actually gets more distribution from my video. I think I'm like 128 people away from hitting 5,000 right now. So if you wouldn't mind sharing this video, if you wouldn't mind subscribing, it wouldn't mean the world to me. We're all busy at that 5,000 mark. And yeah, that's a big mark. And some of you may say, well, I know people have got 5 million people and you only got 5,000. To me, it's a lot, okay? To me, it's more than what I had. And the thing is, you've got to build because those people with 5 million, guess what? At one point, they didn't have 5,000. It takes time to do this stuff. And that's what we're gonna talk about today is time and time management. And how you can use your time better. And I think that's so important because if we use our time better, it almost seems like we have more of it. We don't, but it almost seems that way. The life of a digital marketer is really kind of tough.  And there's endless social media updates, there's launch, the newest, greatest tool. There's all this stuff, but most of it's just noise. And being able to weed through all this is so important. You know, it's easy to get overwhelmed with all this stuff that's going on around you. That's why it's really important to remain disciplined. Discipline's really important. You gotta focus on things that really do matter, not things that are just interesting to you at the moment. If you're gonna succeed online, guys, you've gotta follow some of these rules I'm gonna go through today, trust me. You know, I learned the hard way in the beginning. I try to be more and more time aware. Yesterday I went through, I have a whole bunch of different credit cards. I have no balances on any of them. But I use them because there's points there and there's rewards and I use them for business. And I spend a lot of money on business. You know, it's nothing for meat has been 150, 200,000 in a month on supplies, on boxes and meats and cans and stuff for my survival food company. And when I use these credit cards, I get all kinds of points and I get rewards and stuff. You know, shoot, some of these cards I'm making $1,502,000 a month and just rewards on.  So I went online and I switched everything to paper lists. And I had most of them paper lists. But I just switched everything to paper lists because opening that one envelope took time. You know, and you always tend to open envelopes that you get. So hopefully, and I went into my investments with fidelity investments and TD Ameritrade, all that. I went in there and said, I don't want any more statements. I don't want you to send me anything. Don't send me anything. Get rid of all of it. Because that just burned up my time. So the first thing I'm gonna tell you about time is you gotta set time limits. Okay, time limits are so important. When you have a specific task that you wanna do, you wanna be very productive on it. It's a well-known fact that you can drift and let any task consume your entire day. I mean, that can happen. Work expands to fill time available. It does. I don't know why, but it does. And if you agree with some of this, put that in the chat section. I'll be talking to you.  And you can combat this by using something special that I call a countdown timer. That's it. And all you gotta do is go to Google, go to Google and type in 25 minute countdown timer. If you decide that you wanna work on something for 25 minutes, put in a timer. And when that timer's up, you're done with that task. Whether you finished it or not, okay? You can just sit here real quick. But I love having timers. I use timers for everything. Everything. I mean, if we're putting our dog's food out and we keep it in the fridge because she's on a raw food diet, we'll put it on the counter and we want it to warm up. But I don't wanna sit there and wait and I don't know how long it's been sitting there. So I set a timer. I say, hey Google, set a 15 minute timer. Oh, okay. I've got one of those Google home things in my office and I don't want it setting a timer. Next thing I'm gonna tell you is just opposite of what a lot of people have told you is number two is avoid multitasking. There is no such thing. Multitasking does not exist. I love it when I see people on the post ads for an employee and they'll say multitasking is so important. Can you multitask? Now I can't multitask and nobody else can either. It's not possible. Your brain is designed to function so that it focuses on one thing at a time. That's it. It can't focus on two or three things. It's impossible. What it does, it may do it very quickly, it may switch between three different things constantly. But when you're doing that, what you're doing is you're losing focus on the one thing that you were thinking about. So actually there is no way to multitask. Pick something you wanna work on. Scientists have proved that our brain works best when it focuses on one thing at a time. So what you're doing is you're doing three things really crappy. You're not really multitasking. What's Paul got to say? Along with time management, I think you need to be persistent and realize there is a bit of risk you need to be comfortable with. You seem to have a good handle on that. I don't know. I don't know. I work every day. If I didn't do my best, I will tell you I struggle with, at the end of the day, did I get enough done? And my wife does the same thing. So sometimes we'll just look at each other and say, did you get anything done today? And we'll say, yeah, I got this done. I got this done. I got this done. Do we always get everything done? We wanna do no. But you know what? I tend to forget the days that I get everything done and then I add some stuff too and get that done too. Be satisfied with what you got done. Number three is a big one. Eliminate distractions. I see this happen a lot. Sometimes I'll work in the living room and I'll just sit at the couch. But I make sure that I don't have the TV on or radio on or any of that stuff on in the background because that's distracting to me. I want it quiet.   Do all of that. But try to get rid of distractions. Do that, do not disturb thing, right? Bestselling author Gary Keller wrote why it's important to focus on one thing at a time. And he talked about primary work and all that stuff but you can look him up. He has some pretty good, interesting stuff on that. When you lose focus, if you lose focus, when you turn and look at something else and you read something else, it can take twice as long to get back in the groove of what you were already doing. So if you can eliminate that distraction, you're gonna eliminate even more time by doing that. Make sure you eliminate distraction, super important. Next thing up, number four, is invest time in education, okay? How much time a day do you set aside to educate yourself? To learn stuff. That's super important. James says, bad things happen to you when you multitask. Yes, they do. They do, you're right. And he also says prioritize. Yeah, pick the things. And here's, I'm trying to think of who it was and I can't think of the author now. He's pretty famous. Maybe it was Mark Twain, but it's eat the frog. If you've got to eat two frogs, eat them early in the morning. Now, what did he mean by that?   And then he said, if you've got to eat two frogs in the morning, eat the big one first. Eat the one that's most difficult first. Get that stuff over with. The stuff that you would normally put off to the end of the day that you don't want to do and then it spills over into the next day and the next day and the next day. No, do it first thing, get it done, over with, done. Yesterday, I had to film one more video because on Wednesday, I had 12 scheduled. I got through 11 and then my wife had a meeting and she couldn't help me out with the camera and all that, so we had to postpone it for a day. So yesterday I said, well, the first thing I'm gonna do is film that video, but she wasn't ready. So since she wasn't ready, guess what I did? I wrote three more scripts and I ended up filming four yesterday instead of one, excuse me, three instead of one. So that way I actually got some stuff done instead of just waiting for her. Number five, delegate and outsource task.  I have a guy who does video editing and uploading my videos and SEO and all that stuff and man, that used to burn up so much of my time and yet cost me money every month and I pay him more than I probably should. But the point is, he's loyal that way and I'm gonna keep paying him more because that's what I do with people who work with me. There's no reason why you shouldn't delegate or outsource to another person. If you work on your own, you can hire a VA to help you with some admin tasks, something like that or hire a freelancer to design your graphics. When you do the math, it can often work out to be more cost effective than what you first thought. My time is worth a lot more to me doing things that are creative than to doing things that are mundane so I do delegate a lot. Next thing I'll tell you is to take regular breaks. A lot of people will tell you this but taking a break really does help. Now my watch, I've got one of these Apple Watches and it'll tell me when it's time to stand up. Time to stand up and walk around. So that's kinda cool, it's a break. I stand up, I walk around, maybe I walk to my wife's office, maybe I go outside for a minute but our bodies need those breaks just sitting and sitting and sitting is not good for you. Next thing I'll tell you is track your time. Yeah, Mark Twain said eat the frog. Okay James, thanks for that. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was him but I couldn't remember exactly.  Do you? I don't know. Most of us kid ourselves. You know, there's an app out there called Time My Life to get an accurate recording of how much time you spend on each task. Get that, you know, get that and check out that app. Next thing up is use a password manager. Oh my God, using a password manager has saved me so much time, guys. I literally, I know I have, I'm gonna look here real quick because I do have a password manager. I use insecure, if you're interested, insecure and this is my password manager right here, okay? So as you can see, and let me go over to the screen here so I can see what I'm showing you. But this is my password manager and if you can see it, I have all these passwords right here, all these. Try to remember all those. I don't think so. It's not gonna happen. You're not gonna remember all those. And don't use the same password for everything. Some people are gonna say, let's use the same password. Don't do that, don't do that. That's not cool. People are gonna break into your stuff. Let's see what Paul's gonna say. The only way to multitask is to give tasks their own time segments and not interruption. Hire for like, you said, mundane tasks like long cutting. Yes, I already had a long service for texts. I haven't even moved there yet. I had a long service, you're right, Paul. And yet, and really, if you're setting time for each one, you're not multitasking. You're not trying to do them all at once, but you can't anyhow. But the password manager, guys, I mean, for a number of years, I kept asking my wife, hey, do you have the password to this? Do you get the login for this? And she'd just pull up her app, she'd say, yeah, I got a password manager thing. And I finally circum and got that password manager. Now, if I needed to know a password, I just go right to it and look it up real quick. I don't have to try to figure it out and I don't have to try 10 different things. It's just there, so get a password manager. The next thing I wanna tell you is don't waste time on things that aren't working, okay? As marketers, we should always be evaluating various campaigns and activities. Be ruthless. Cut out the things that aren't working and invest more time elsewhere. I went through my ads yesterday and I was looking at keywords. And I have, so here's how I do this, just so you know. Let's say I've got 100 keywords that my ads going out to. I have what I call my KPI, my KPI, okay, Key Performance Indicator. My Key Performance Indicator is I wanna pay $10 for a lead going to my webinar, $10. Now, I will allow a keyword, a topic, a subject, up to $20 without getting an opt-in. So I'm gonna spend $20 without getting an opt-in, okay? If I do have an opt-in, so once I hit $20, that keyword's done. It's done. I pause it and I get rid of it. It's no longer there. That topic's done, whatever. Now, let's say I do get an opt-in and I'm at $21, okay? What do I do? I go up to $30. At $30, if I don't get another opt-in, okay? Then I kill it. So that's my KPI and it's really simple. I already know that in my brain, so I can just scan through and I know exactly which ones I'm gonna kill and which ones I'm gonna keep using. And it is interesting because some of them will cost you $12 an opt-in and some of them will cost me 60 cents. I'd rather have the 60-cent one. So when you're doing ads on YouTube, when you kill the ones that aren't performing, it spends more money on the ones that aren't performing. So it's really kind of a neat system. So I don't waste time on things that aren't working. I go in there and look at those things and I change it. Only use tools that show real benefits. There's so many tools out there, guys, as a digital marketer. Let's see, Paul says breaks prevent blood clots. Oh my God, and helps with circulations. I definitely need a password manager. Oh my gosh, Paul, if you don't have one, trust me. At the end of this, get a password manager. Really, I'm not kidding you, man. And I mean, mine, I think, cost $20 or something like that. And it was a one-time pay app. It's called M-Securo and you put this in here. You tell me if you like it and see how well it works for you. But man, it saved me so much time, Paul. You have no idea. You have no idea. It's like, it's like, why didn't I do this before? Yeah, it's 20 bucks or whatever it was. And I only paid one time and it's good forever. Good forever. Only use tools that have real benefits. So it's easy to become attractive. I knew tools that promise outstanding results and they're gonna do all this great stuff for you. But there's only so many tools you can really effectively use in your business. That's why I like Cartra. And there'll be a link in the description. Cartra has eight pieces of software built into one. So I don't have to log into a whole bunch of different places. So even if it wasn't great, which it is, and even if it didn't do all these things, which it does, just the fact that I don't have to log into eight different pieces of software, it's all built into one, saves me so much time. I mean, it's just so cool.  Consolidate your tools. Cartra is the easiest way to do that, guys. If you're a digital marketer, I recommend Cartra over and above anything else. Being ruthless and being organized saves tons of time too. Currently working on getting office better organized. Yeah, and don't beat yourself up, guys, if you haven't done all these things. These are things that you can add. These are things that you can do now. Have you ever used Survey Monkey? I haven't used Survey Monkey, James, but I've used other survey softwares and I do like it. And I can't think of the one I used to use. I used to use one that was really good. And I haven't done these surveys in a while. You know, I've been working on other things, but that's a good one. I've heard very good things about it. Check your engagement data, that's something else I would tell you. When was the last time you checked your social media engagement? You've seen the infographics about the best times of data posted on social media and your channel, but have you checked your data? Do you know what's going on? I check my data on YouTube every single morning when I get at this. The first thing I do is look at YouTube data. I look at how much money I'm making. I look at my ads. I look at which videos are doing well.  Go in there and sort your videos by view and the ones that got the most views do more videos on that subject. You know what I mean? That's what people want. That's what you get views on. That way you're maximizing your effort. Next thing I want to tell you, automate your post. I do this. Automate your post. Social media automation has a couple of different benefits, but it lets you post content when your audience is online, right? Which we just talked about, but it also frees up your time for other tasks. So all of my videos on YouTube are scheduled two weeks in advance. In addition to that, I've probably got another two weeks of videos setting, waiting for my video editor to edit them. So, you know, it helps a lot. There's plenty of social media automation tools out there. Post Cron's one of them. I use one, and I'm trying to think of the name of it now because I don't really use it. My video editor does. It's all gone. I can't think of it. I'll think of it in a moment, but I use one for that. You know, you can use these for your Facebook fan page, your profile, your venture groups, whatever. LinkedIn, you can use it for, you know, your profile, your company page, Twitter. You can use it on your profile. Google Plus, you can use it on your business pages. Pinterest, boards, Instagram accounts, all that stuff. It's a huge time saver, though, because that way I knew my stuff's going out. Like right now, I've scheduled emails. I have an email that went out, or will go out today, went out yesterday, too, to remind people about my Saturday live. And then on Saturday, there's gonna be one that goes out at eight o'clock in the morning Eastern time that's gonna remind them about it. And yeah, so I've got two that go out on Saturday. So all of those are automated, though. So I don't have to worry about it, okay? You can know the recipe real quick. Oh, let's see here. What's Paul say? Delete email subscriptions that fill inbox, 100%. I have one with my email provider, and I have a folder called Learn Spam. So what you do is you take those ones that you know are spam, and you put it in Learn Spam and it learns it, and then it won't send it to you anymore. Because just deleting, you think about how much time it takes just to delete. Man, it burns up some time. I unsubscribe all the time. That's a very good point, Paul. I unsubscribe routinely, cutting all groups. I've oversubscribed to. If it's not moving me forward, it's gone. That's really good, Paul. That's a really good suggestion. Thanks for that. And I do the same thing. I totally agree with you. Manage your engagement is another thing I'll tell you. Once you've scheduled your post for the best times of day, you have to decide how you're gonna interact with comments, mentions, feedbacks. This is something I gotta work on a little bit better, too, because I get a lot of comments now on YouTube, and I wanna get to all of them, and it's hard to do sometimes, but I'm gonna make a point to do that today. If you've chosen to focus on one or two social channels, that's the best way to go about it. It's hard for you to focus on comments and suggestions and all that stuff if you've got 10 social media channels. I don't suggest that. I know there's people like Gary Vee that can pull it off. I don't think most people can. I think you need to focus on two or three. Mine is primarily Facebook and YouTube. That's where I spend my time. That's where I'm gonna be. I always get a kick when somebody follows me on Instagram and I'm like, I don't post on Instagram. You're wasting your time to follow me. I might in the future, but right now I'm not. If you got more channels than you got interaction to manage, why are you doing it anyhow? I mean, there's no point. You might find it easier to use a tool. There's one called Agora Pulse that can consolidate all your messages into one inbox so you could do that. Next thing I'll tell you is use some templates. A lot of social media activities are really repetitive so it makes sense to create some type of templates that you can use over and over, for example. You can save a set of like graphic templates in Canva or post-cron for each social media network. You can have a standard set of hashtags, which I do when I upload a video. I have a standard set of hashtags ready to use on your posts or Instagram or whatever. Any ideas on getting out of Facebook jail?  I have had so many problems with Facebook. So many complaints from so many people. I don't think they care about their audience. I just don't think they care. And it concerns me because I have Facebook stock, but it's still doing well, but I couldn't tell you. I really couldn't. Facebook's book has become an enigma to me. If I have a problem on Google or YouTube or whatever, I can always get a hold of somebody. I can talk to somebody physically. I can chat with them. They email with me. They try to help me. I mean, I think Facebook's gonna face a real problem because they will not help you with stuff. I have no idea why they're doing that, but I'm sorry if you're having a problem there. I love the lives without the gift card. Ah, content last week was incredible. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Do you set a specific time to answer emails? You know, I don't, and I should. I usually work that in throughout the day. I do check my email too much. I'm not perfect on these things, guys.  He's so perfect. I'm not. I screw a lot of this stuff up. I check my email too often. I check my stocks too often. But I'm working on it, okay? We're all a work in progress, right? So yeah, avoid social media when you should be doing something else.  This doesn't pose a problem for me because I really don't care about social media much. But I'm not telling you to avoid it all together, but the thing is, some of us spend way too much time on it. I see some people that, they're at dinner, they're at lunch with other people, and they're just on their phone the whole time. They're not even looking at the person they're eating with. But it can be very time consuming.  So I've given you, what, 15, 16 things you can do? Not too bad. Can you list who you use for templates? You list who you use for templates. Well, I have kind of templates for Facebook. I kind of have some for YouTube. I have templates for my videos. Now, my templates at this point for video, I've shot close to 1,000 videos now, it's kind of in my head. I know what I'm gonna do in each video. Now, the information is different in every single video, of course. As far as templates for thumbnails on YouTube, my editor Billy, he has templates for that. We change those up every now and then. Sometimes I'll put words on the templates. Sometimes I don't. But he's really good about that. Yes, the throat is still clearing out. It is. It is every morning when I'm doing these things live, guys. Not so bad on Saturdays because it's 10 o'clock and I've already talked for a little bit. But during the week, it's a little bit rough. Let me get over through to some of your screen. So what do you think? You think this stuff could help you out? Do you think? Look at that hair fix. It's kind of flat today. I've got some flat hair going on. Flat hair. So I do have a template for today, Friday. Some of you know it. You can put it in the chat section if you know my Friday template. I have a pretty clear cut one on Friday. And I do that clear cut one on Friday. If you're a friend of mine on Facebook, you probably know what it is. It's nothing that secretive. But it is something I do. And something you need to do. Probably the most important thing you could do all day long. Maybe the most important thing of your life. Am I overselling this? I think I am. I just need you to subscribe. I need you to hit that subscribe button. I need you to ring the bell. Turn on all notifications so you're notified every time I upload a video or I go live. That would be really nice. And I want you to do this. This right here. Can you do that? I think you can. What do you think, guys? Can you be more organized? Can you be more time-affected as a digital marketer? I think you can. I think these things will help you. Are there more things that you think will help? Put it in that chat section. If you're not watching this live, which a lot of you aren't, I get it. You can't always be here. Put it in the comment section there. Put any questions you have in the comment section down there. Ask me anything you want about starting running and growing online businesses. That's what I do. I was logged into my admin panel at my Magento store for Survival Cave Food yesterday. And I looked at it, and I'm not gonna say the amount, but there were millions and millions and millions of dollars sold in survival food. Millions and millions and millions. And I looked at that and I thought, wow. It's amazing because that doesn't include all my sales. That's just at that site. If they bought from that site, if they buy it from Carter or something like that, they didn't even record them. And holy crap, it was a lot of money. I'm like, where did all that money go? I mean, there was a lot of money there. Do you schedule fitness to a specific time? Or just make sure you do it. I remember your dedication on cruise to getting in time for your fitness when you did work on computer. Yes, I do that at a certain time. Now, when I'm working at home, generally it's gonna be right after the lunch. So I'm gonna get up in the morning. I'm gonna do whatever work I gotta do until lunchtime. My wife and I go to lunch every day. And then after that, we get down and we do our workout. Sometimes we work out together. Sometimes she does a different one. For the most part, we work out together. But yeah, it's every day. Now, here's a funny thing then. My watch will tell me if I have to do more because I had it set in a certain number of calories. And at dinner time or close to dinner time, if I don't have all the calories burned, I'll jump on the bike and I'll start riding the bike before dinner or after dinner. So that's when I get the rest of it in. And that is scheduled every single day. That is like, I don't know, that's like eating. It's just something I do. If I get up, I work out. That's what I do. And it's generally four to five days a week. I don't work out on Fridays because that's the day that we, and Paul's already guessed it, go out to lunch. We're at today, brother.   So I hadn't figured it out. I watched Kelly Stamps. Oh, check out this, check out this person. Kelly Stamps. She is just an interesting girl and I watched some of her videos and her channel is blown up. She's making about $40,000 a month now off her YouTube channel, which isn't bad for I think a 24 year old girl. 40 grand a month. See you here. See you all tomorrow. Thanks a bunch, JR. Peace and blessings always everyone. House ideas for cooking coming. You know, Paul, I got a lot of them and I already got some film. So those will be there. I've got some videos of the kitchen of the house. I ought to put those up so you guys can see those. If you're interested, I've got videos of my agents walking through the house and showing me all the different rooms and what it's gonna look like. And I ought to do that. James Brain, have you ever tried intermittent fasting? You know, I tried it. I even got an app for it. I paid for an app board and I'm not a fan. My son is a bodybuilder and I told him about it and he's like, well, no kidding.   And it made so much sense to me and he really studies this stuff. He's an orient also and he really does know nutrition and he knows macros and micros and he meal creps.  And I was like, you know what? I'm not gonna do the intermittent fasting. It doesn't, and I know all the research behind it and the caveman thing and how they went without food and it was good for them and all, but nah, I don't like it. I don't like it, okay? It works for some people. You know, I'm not saying it's bad or good or anything. I don't like it. I just don't like missing my meals. So I'm not gonna do that. We're at 931. We made it. We made it through another session. But did we make it through the point where you subscribed? Did we? Did we make it through the point where you give me a thumbs up, a like? I don't have enough likes here. How many likes do I got? I can tell that you guys, if you're liking or not, I don't have any likes. I need some likes on this, guys. Hit it, hit it James. You normally like it. Maybe you liked it and it hasn't shown up. That could be it. Sometimes if I'm in the middle of this and I don't refresh the screen, which if I refresh the screen then I'll lose you guys. I don't wanna do that. But hit that like button if you wouldn't. Don't forget to ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so that you're notified every time I go live or I upload a video. And I'm gonna be doing a contest, guys, and I'm gonna be doing some giveaways. So make sure you're hanging out in some of these lives because I'm gonna be doing some giveaways, some really cool stuff. And it's not gonna be like the gift card $10 things. They're gonna be things of real value, probably in the hundreds of dollars. So stick around. You may be able to get in part of that and get part of the giveaway, which is kinda cool. I'm looking for a Schwinn Airdyne to work out with post the videos of home. Okay, y'all do that. I use MYX Fitness. This is the bike I use. Paul, check this out. It's a lot less than a Peloton. I'm not saying it's better. It's okay. It's a good bike. It has the big screen. It has all the workout things. You still gotta pay monthly for the training and all that. But Mix Fitness Bike, it's pretty cool. You may wanna check it out. That's what I have right now. That's what I'm using. The only thing I don't like about working out on a bike is the dang seat. The seats are uncomfortable.  The seats are uncomfortable. And I even, I bought a different seat to put on my bike. It's still uncomfortable. It hurts, you know?  That's just the way it is. I hit the like button first thing always. I thought you did, James. I guess it's just not showing up on my screen here. Probably will after this is over with. Guys, I am so close, so close to 5,000 subscribers. Please do me a solid. Get people who will watch my videos to subscribe to this channel. I only need like a little over 100 subscribers to hit that 5,000 mark. It's gonna be a real milestone for me. And I'm sure 10,000 will be an 100,000 and a million. But I would really appreciate if you did that. I wanna thank each and every one of you for being here today, today's Friday. I have one more live this week, which will be tomorrow at 10 a.m. 10 a.m. tomorrow, be at this channel. I've got some really cool stuff I'm going over. If you wanna know what it is that on my channel, you'll see the title of the video for tomorrow and what I'm gonna cover. But it could save your business. Woo, could save your business, how about that? Important stuff. Guys, thank you so much for being here.  You guys have an awesome Friday. And yes, I'm going to lunch. If you're a friend of mine on Facebook, you'll see pictures, I'll post pictures of wherever we go. Thank you so much for being here today. I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye. Bye.


Let's talk about what kind of footwear you should use in deadlifts Well, first one I want to talk about is being barefoot. That's kind of my favorite, right? So you don't usually need a whole lot of ankle mobility to get down to a good deadlifting position You don't usually need your knees to bend so much, right? So there's not always a reason that I need a whole lot of heel support Generally, you get a lot out of removing the interference between your heel and the ground and it allows you to feel more stable in the ground and you can push through those muscles that are associated with your heels those hamstrings and those glutes, which we know are really big movers for your deadlift Okay, so barefoot does that. It increases this connectivity with the ground and that's one thing that that sensation is really important, but you also have just this sturdiness, right? So physically, if I'm wearing a soft cushy sole, I can compress it a little bit more and if I'm compressing it, some of my energy is dampening and that, depending on the structure of the shoe, could be directed in one direction or another especially if they're old, right? If they're old and they sit into my normal wear pattern, they're just going to reinforce that normal wear pattern so I might not want to do it that way.  Second option, let's talk about something else, maybe something with a little bit more cushion maybe looks more like a walking shoe, it supports your heel really well like the heel of the shoe is really stable, it doesn't collapse in, like these shoes do it doesn't collapse in, maybe A6, those generally fit this mold, right? They bend in the toe, they're the types of shoes that you've heard me recommend for day-to-day activities Those can be good for deadlifting, especially if you have trouble feeling stuff especially hypermobile people. I'm kind of back and forth between deadlifting in shoes like that and deadlifting barefoot. If you're weird about putting barefoot on the ground then definitely do the A6 thing. There is a little bit of cushion there and it can interfere with some things but the idea is that with these shoes they're sturdy and so they don't collapse and they don't bias in one direction or the other like old shoes do and like something like a Nike Free or a Vans shoe might do. We'll get to the Vans, let's just say Nike Free. Those are the ones that are really cushiony, they're really light, they flip really well, they bend in all sorts of directions and they twist and everything. They don't provide any support, they're just floating on marshmallows while you're deadlifting. Those I would highly recommend you avoid. Those shoes again can be good for giving you the sensations that you need. If you have high arches they help you feel your arch. They're not supporting your ankle but they are giving it a sensation of where it is in space. The flat, firm ground, the concrete asphalt, whatever that we walk on is not very natural, normally ground is grassy, it is dirty, it's got rocks in it and it's not level. It's a little bit more forgiving. Our feet are made to work with that more but we've paved everything now. Shoes actually do make sense. You don't need to be barefoot all the time especially if you've grown up wearing shoes. Your foot's probably not ready to just go into being barefoot and running a couple miles. That's a good way to get shin splints. If you are going to do that, progress slowly. But this video isn't about running. Deadlifting. We talked about barefoot. We talked about the ASIC type shoes with the sturdy heel. I think I said everything that I want to say about that. I did mention the Nike freeze. I would say that's kind of a no-no. I would avoid those. Those are probably not your best idea here. And then I mentioned the vans. So vans and chuck tailors. What's going on there? Those are a good way to get a nice flat sole. There's not a whole lot of cushion. Not a whole lot of interference. And it's kind of like deadlifting barefoot in the ground. But allowing you to feel that heel and not dissipating that force. Not pushing you, biasing you in one direction or the other. So those things are pretty good. What I kind of don't like is I tend to notice people deadlifting in vans. And every time they do, their ankles collapse in. Like this. To me, that's just because that foot has no idea where it is in space. Even though it's got little interference between the heel and the ground, you know. It's not supporting. It still has this tension on the top of the foot, on the outsides of the foot. And it doesn't support the arch of the foot. And therefore the heel bone doesn't know where it's at. And it can't find that foot position that it needs to be sturdy. And to access the big prime mover hamstring, glute muscles that we need for deadlifting. So I, you know, I've done it for years in chuck tailors. And I love them because they're cheap and they're sweet, right? Basketball shoes or something like that. Basketball shoes or something. But I'm kind of getting away from them. I don't really see the purpose. If you are going to put them on, you can make them a little bit looser so that they're not restricting your foot motion so much. And so that they're, it's a little bit more like being barefoot, where you're allowing your foot to have this mobility and provide its own stability, its own tension within the foot. But you're also protecting yourself from all the fungus that's on the ground. That's it. So chuck tailors to me fall in line with the minimalist kind of shoe. So I would group those together. Nike Freez are a no-no. Pretty much anything Nike makes is, I'm going to say garbage, but that could be proven wrong here in the future. But every time I've seen it, people are just, they're just so bad. Oh man. There was one guy I had who had Nike Freez and I bought him shoes because I couldn't fix it anymore. And he's so much better. It's great. I actually bought him Asics that I wear in all my other videos. So consider Asics the other category there. Or you know, some Brooks, some new balance shoes, say they have the same principle, right? The heel counter, the padding that's around the heel is really sturdy. The shoe, when you bend it, it bends in the toe, but not in the middle of the shoe. Those things generally help not only support your foot for deadlifting, but also for walking and everything. And they can give you that sensation that you need. You may want to look into talking to a podiatrist if you have really high arches or really flat feet. Somehow, if you have flat feet, you're going to need some structural support to hold those feet up. And if you have high arches, you're going to need some sort of cushioning there so that you can feel your arch, push through it, and access your glute muscles. And then the last little variation was deadlifting barefoot. I think that's kind of optimal if you can. Maybe you lay down a towel in the public gym and you stand on that towel. That could maybe work. As long as you don't slip, don't hurt yourself. Please be careful. Warm up slowly. Warm up with lightweight. Make sure you're safe. And only then do you unleash the monster. So if you have any other questions about shoes, I probably won't be able to get to any specific questions on specific types of shoes, but I've outlined some principles for you. So feel free to go to the store. Test them out. See if the heel counter is sturdy. See if the toe bends. See if the middle of the boot bends. See if they bias you in any one direction. And just see if they feel okay. If they don't feel okay, then you might not want to do that. Good luck.
