Well, well as you can see I am in a U-Haul a 26 foot long U-Haul and that's right. We're moving so empty now But in less than 24 hours, it's gonna be full. It's gonna be fun moving all that stuff Let me show you what this thing looks like from the outside. This thing is just it's so massive check this out like This thing is This thing is 26 feet long It's a massive thing. It's a beast of a truck of a of a it's it's called it says gentle ride van But it's such a beast That's that's nice how to move all the stuff and get moving And it's gonna be it's gonna be a long day some lunch Mia and Ethan Our union's not honoring longer break, so we got to do a 25 minute break, right buddy Thumbs up. Yeah, we got some McDonald's here quick energy food Right, but bless you Bill We're just working hard over here not really How that how's that chicken nugget buddy is it so good? How is it that's my burger I feel like I look like Polly D right now with my hair a little bit Used to show off to the girls how many chairs you could carry I got to boom So we started with nothing in the truck and now We got a lot of stuff in here. So we've got more to do Probably for the next 24 hours we'll be packing this entire truck up. Hope you guys enjoyed this vlog I got more to do. I'll catch you next time. Peace


SCP-470 appears to be a large abandoned office building in... The building is seven floors, and in a general state of disrepair consistent with its term of abandonment. SCP-470 appears to be or to house a dimensional anomaly, causing its internal rooms to shift and become other locations that have been abandoned for extended periods of time. The ability for an outside location to appear within SCP-470 appears to manifest after twenty and thirty years of little to no human observation, interaction, or habitation. This anomaly appears to be limited to the rooms of SCP-470, with the halls remaining primarily stable.


Hello everyone, welcome to the next lecture in the course remote sensing principles and applications. We are going to continue with the topic of remote sensing systems and image acquisition where we left from the previous lecture. In the previous lecture, these are different mechanisms or different ways in which data can be collected from satellites in near polar orbit. Some of the methods are line scanner, vis-broom scanner, push-broom scanner and two-dimensional array type of detectors. We also saw a special case of how data will be collected in hyperspectral sensors and so on. Today, we are going to start with data collection from satellites in geostationary orbit. So, in geostationary orbit, essentially the orbit or the satellite is much farther from the Earth surface like something around like 36,000 kilometers away from the Earth surface. The satellite will be aligned along the equator. So, in the previous case, near polar orbit, Earth is here, satellite will be moving like this from North to South. In geostationary orbit, that means, satellite is placed along the equator and the satellite will rotate the Earth at the same speed of the Earth. That is, as the Earth is moving like this, satellite also will move at the same speed. So, essentially satellites are launched into such geostationary orbits when we want to observe the same part of the Earth continuously, essentially for communication purposes or meteorological purposes and all, we need to observe same part of the globe without any break. So, for such applications, we normally put satellites in the geostationary orbit. So, the satellite will be seeing the same spot on the Earth as the Earth is rotating, satellite also will be keep on rotating. So, that there will be like same place will be imaged continuously without any time gap. In the previous case, like in the near polar orbit, satellite moved like this, Earth rotated like this and there was like also some sort of scanning mechanism involved which character the two dimensional image, like line by line the image was built either using a scanner or using a push broom array, push broom type of sensor. So, line by line the image is built as the satellite is moving, each line will be built so the entire image will be formed. In this case, when satellites are in geostationary orbit, there will not be any sort of relative motion because satellite will be keep on looking at the same spot of Earth. There will be no relative motion of satellite with respect to Earth, it will be they will look stationary. Like if you have, if your highs have the capacity to look at a geostationary satellite, it will look stationary for our eyes that is why the name geostationary, it will be stationed at one point. So, it will appear continuously there, there is no relative motion between Earth and the satellite. In such cases, in order to build a two dimensional image, there should be a 2D scanning mechanism that is the director element should have a scanner which scans in both north south direction and also east west direction like this. So, first the scanning will happen like this and scanning then will happen like this in this direction. So, the scanner will essentially do a two dimensional image collection that is depicted in this particular figure you can see like there is like a scanning element which scans in both north south like this from top to bottom and also east west. This east west scanning can be done in two ways. The scanner itself can move two ways that is say for example, there is like a scanner attached. Let us assume it is scanning like first it scans in this direction like in the north south. It looks in the top, scans one line then comes scans one line like this or it can move like this and then slowly it can move like this. The scanner itself can move in two dimension up, down, left, right and so on like this it can move. Or in some satellites the east west movement is provided by spinning the satellite along with axis like if the satellite is moving like this that way they can satellite axis. Around this axis the satellite will be made to spin that is to cover the east west direction the satellite will be actually spinning. So, what it will happen the scanner will be there. So, when as the satellite does one spin the scanner will scan one line. Satellite will rotate now the like the scanner may start from the northern most point it may look like this satellite will spin one line is collected satellite will rotate come back again by the time the scanner would have moved one line down or one row down then it will collect satellite will spin second line is collected. Now the scanner will be again brought down like this. So, line by line image will be collected by spinning the satellite. The scanner will move along the latitudes like from north to south the scanner will move slowly by spinning the satellite east west scan will be established or it will be carried out. This is one way there is a satellite called MSG Savory which is the satellite will spin collect the data. On the other hand some satellites will not spin because spinning again it involves lot of energy the satellite has to come exactly to the safe orientation lot of things are there. So, as I said whenever there is a mechanical movement it is always problematic. So, some sensors or some satellites will have a 2D scanning mechanism the scanner itself may scan both east west and north south like this it will scan maybe one line. Then the scanner will come to the next line scan east west third line scan east west and so on. Like this image can be collected in two dimensions for satellites in geostationary orbits. Now we have seen how data is being collected the simple mechanism of data collection. Next we are going to enter into the important concept of spatial resolution. Like in the beginning of this particular topic I told you each sensor has 4 specific characteristics spatial spectral radiometric and temporal resolutions. These 4 will define the data collected by the system and also for which applications the data can be used everything will be defined by these 4 characteristics. So, now we are going to start with looking at the concept of spatial resolution. Before we move on to the explaining what spatial resolution is we will first see a simple geometry of how earth is being perceived by one detector element within the sensor. So, this is let us assume one detector element within the sensor the width of the detector is W. Let us assume the width is it is in the form of a square with the width W on both the sides. This will be like the optics element and the distance from the focal plane where the detector will be located and the optics the first point where the light from earth enters is focal length. So, f is focal length. Now even our cameras has like a focal length or focal distance right focal distance we can say relating the distance between the center of object point where the light first enters the system to the point where the detector elements are kept. So, this is focal length f. And so based on the focal length each detector element will have like a small angle subtended that is now I am drawing it in 2 dimension. Let us say this is like with W of the sensor this is the point sorry the optical point O and this is how this is focal length f. So, whatever light ray coming in from the ground within this particular angle will be focused on to this particular detector. This is not a 3D angle this is not a solid angle I am talking about I am just talking about a plane angle in 2 dimensions because like it is a square element we are assuming it as a square element. So, essentially it is like it will have like a one solid angle in the what to say in this direction and sorry one plane angle in this direction one plane angle in this direction the angle will be same. So, we are talking in terms of like a plane angle. So, this is one side of detector element this is the point O this is focal length f this angle maybe we can label it as theta is known as the IFOV instantaneous field of view. So, what this IFOV defines the IFOV is actually determined by two parameters one the detector width how wide or how small the detector element is the physical size of the detector maybe in the order of few micrometers and what is the focal length of the system. These two will determine this angle IFOV. So, what essentially it does now the satellite is being put to space let us imagine now the detector is in space observing earth.  So, essentially whatever the energy within the particular IFOV will be reaching the detector element that particular detector element. So, the IFOV will determine the angle from which the energy incoming will be collected by the sensor and this IFOV is determined by the physical size of the detector like one side size if it is a square it is like one side size and the focal length of the system. So, IFOV is equal to 2 tan inverse of W by 2F where W is the physical width of the detector element F is the focal length. So, here A tan means I mean tan inverse. So, this is the IFOV. So, IFOV means the angle subtended by the detector in its focal plane or in its optics assembly we can say like optic point from there what is the angle subtended by the detector that is this particular angle from this point O what is the angle subtended by one setup detector. So, essentially if you if you put the same angle in all directions you will essentially get a square element. So, then the satellite is launched to space each satellite will have a characteristic orbital height some satellites are put in height of 700 kilometers some satellites are put in the height of 400 odd kilometers and so on. So, that determines the orbit height. So, now based on this IFOV angle and based on the orbital height each satellite will have a ground area to be seen by each detector element that is let us say the IFOV is looking like this. So, the sensor is in the top. So, IFOV is looking like this. So, as you increase the height from the ground. So, if the IFOV is like here and if you like increase the height of the satellite essentially the same angle will subtend a larger area. So, what essentially it means first I told you IFOV means whatever the energy that is coming in within that particular angle will be observed by the that one particular detector element. Now, depending on the orbital height if you take into account both this IFOV and the height of orbit we will be able to determine the ground area covered by each detector element. So, that is given here in this particular formula and you can see it in from this particular diagram. So, this angle is IFOV. So, based on the IFOV and this orbital altitude H that will determine what is the ground area covered by each detector element. So, if there is like a detector element W here there will be like a corresponding value on this particular side based on the orbital height. So, this ground coverage provided by each detector element is known as GIFOV ground projected IFOV. So, ground projected instantaneous field of view. So, for that particular corresponding IFOV if you multiply with the orbital height you will be able to determine the ground area or distance in the ground covered by that small detector element with the width of W. So, if the width is W in one direction a corresponding distance will be covered in the ground based on the orbital height. Similarly, there will be like another width in the safe with W in this direction. Now, it is a square element there is another width W. So, the same distance will be covered in the another direction also this if you take this as x that is in y direction. So, it will form like a square for the four sides. So, two terms we introduced now one is IFOV the angle subtended the plane angle subtended by the detector element on the ground which is determined by the physical size of the detector and the focal length of the system. Based on this angle and based on the orbital height H we can determine what is the ground distance covered by this particular detector element for each side and that ground distance covered we call it as ground projected IFOV or GIFOV. So, the formulas of both the things are given here. So, IFOV is equal to 2 tan inverse of W by 2f. Similarly, GIFOV is equal to 2H tan IFOV by 2 it is like a simple geometry you can like work upon. Let us say this is like a detector element W this is like a perpendicular bisector this is the focal point F essentially this is the IFOV say let us assume IFOV is equal to alpha. So, this is W by 2 this is F. So, tan of alpha by 2 I am taking one particular triangle. So, where half of alpha I am taken. So, tan of alpha by 2 is equal to opposite side W by 2 divided by adjacent side W by 2f I am interested in getting alpha IFOV is alpha I have labeled it as alpha. So, alpha is equal to 2 tan inverse of W by 2f extremely simple geometry same similar kind of geometry you can build for determining GIFOV 2H tan IFOV by 2 you will get the same thing. But just one assumption we are making here is for the sake of simplicity we are assuming the detector as like a square element and also the earth as like a flat horizontal surface that is earth is not a sphere anymore earth is not undulating anymore it is a pure flat horizontal surface and we are considering the detector element as a square in order to get these two equations. They are like simplified representations of the of what is happening in the satellite. So, just imagine remember always one point whatever energy coming in within the GIFOV like the area covered by GIFOV will be collected by one detector element and will be averaged out and stored as one single value. Say for example, say if a detector has a GIFOV of say 1000 meters. So, essentially 1000 meters by 1000 meters that complete square will be observed as one single point in the remote sensing system and whatever energy that comes out will be collected as one single point and averaged out and stored as one energy term inside the detector element. So, energy is averaged out within GIFOV. Next important thing we are going to see is what is known as a field of view. Here we first talked about one single detector element. What is the angle covered by one single detector element? What is the ground covered by that single detector element? GIFOV and GIFOV. But I also told you that we will be collecting information for a broad range for a broad distance on the ground. So, there will be like a scanner which will scan a certain angle. So, rather than each detector just collecting data from it now it covers a wide track of ground in the across track direction or if you talk about push broom sensors there are like say 1000 odd detectors in each row. They will be collecting energy from say 1000 odd pixels or 1000 odd GIFOVs on the ground simultaneously together. So, for each sensor what is the total ground area covered in one go in the across track direction that is what we are going to see now. Let us say this is the system a scanner system. Let us for simple simplicity let us say this is a scanner. So, the scanning scanner is present inside and it is this is like the nadir point. So, it is like from here to here it is scanning in the two dimensional plane. So, this is nadir. So, scanner starts from here moves like this towards the nadir and moves away stops here and keep on oscillating. So, this is like if you take it as a scanner. So, this particular angle what is subtended by the full scan along one line we call it as FOV field of view. So, the field of view will determine what is the angle covered by the scanner or if you have a push broom sensor let us say we have let us say we have this many say some n number of detectors in the across track direction. This is the across track direction. This is not focal point F this object point O this is the focal length F. Earlier when we talked about one single detector element we calculated IFOV that is from this point objective point O what is the angle subtended by one detector element. Now, if you are having a push broom type of sensor let us say you have n detectors in the across track direction what is the total angle subtended by this entire detector element say if you have 100 detector elements in the across track what is the total angle subtended by all these 100 detectors together on that single point of your optics is known as FOV field of view that will determine the total angle subtended by the entire sensor element on the ground at a time. If it is a scanner the angle is determined by what angle the scanner rotates safe example say mode is it has a scanning angle of 55 degrees. So, from Nader 25.5 degrees this side Nader 25.5 degree this side. So, it is it will scan like this 27.5 degrees 27.5 degrees it will cover 55 degrees we buy its oscillation it is kind of like a scanner. On the other hand if you take a push broom push broom type of sensors where you have n number of detectors in the across track the total angle subtended by this n detectors from that particular point O point that the objective point O that angle we call it as FOV and if you take this FOV and associated with the orbital height h that will give us the total ground area covered by the sensor in one go in the across track direction that is say a scanner is scanning like this based on the angle it scans and based on the orbital height there will be like a definite width of ground covered by one scan line. So, one full scan line here for the 55 degrees it may cover certain distance on ground for mode is that is 2300 kilometers one scan will cover 2300 kilometers totally. Similarly, Landsat will cover 185 kilometers this distance covered by one scan on the ground is known as SWAT width or another term is GFOV ground projected FOV. So, here I have given it is ground projected FOV or we also call it as SWAT width that will determine the total ground area covered by the satellite in one line the across track direction. So, this will essentially determine if a satellite collects one line of image what is the exact ground distance of that particular one line that is SWAT width. So, the SWAT width will be like important parameters in order for us to understand the data collection from satellite. So, as a summary today what we have seen in this particular lectures we have seen how data will be collected by satellites in the geostationary orbit and also we have got introduced to four important terms IFOV, GIFOV which relates to single detector element on the space related to single detector element and we also came to know about FOV and GFOV, field of view and ground projected field of view also known as the SWAT width. So, just as a summary the SWAT width is given by this particular formula GFOV is equal to 2 h tan FOV by 2 very similar to IFOV the geometry is one and the same we can always select it with the IFOV geometry it is very easy to derive this. So, this particular equation will tell you how to calculate the SWAT width of the sensor. With this we end this particular lecture. In the next lecture we will try to explain what is meant by spatial resolution. Thank you very much.


It's been a couple of years since I've seen them, so three days really didn't do with justice. Alright, I got my boarding pass. I'm two hours early from my flight.  But I figured I'd give you guys a show of the Philadelphia Airport as I'm going through. That way you guys can see what it looks like if you ever fly from here to Disney World or Orlando. And you're familiar with it. I'm in Terminal D. The spirit was right over there. I just went up, scanned my phone like you've seen before, got my boarding pass.  So, all you gotta do is follow it. I got Delta here, United, Air Canada, and Alaskan Air, which is kind of strange. Because it didn't have like its own booth, it just had like a little machine. So we're gonna go to all gates from Terminal D. Escalators are good. Escalators are fun. Oh wow, from the looks of it, security screening is like very minimal. I'm loving it. Wow, this is gonna be amazing. So with spirit, you don't get any carry-on bags for free or check bags for free. But you do get one personal item. And I brought this little ditty right here. And check that out. Free bag! I love it! Wow, this security is awesome. I'm loving this security here. Look at this. Amazing! This is way better than Orlando's. Well, it could be the time of the day. It is 2 o'clock. Oh no, it's 4 o'clock. Wow, where did my life go? Gotta put all of our belongings in this little thingy here. Except for bags that you can keep them out. I think you have to take your shoes off though. I don't know. Nobody told me I gotta take my shoes off. So maybe I don't. Oh, I do have to take my shoes off. Thank you. Shoes off! Alright, you guys are going in here now. That was the quickest in and out of security I've ever been. That's amazing. Through security, now I get to just hang out for the next two hours. Check out some planes, check out some shops. Fun stuff. Look at these planes. Oh yeah. Those are some big old planes out there. I am in gate E. So I'm gonna head on this way. Dunkin' donuts, lids. I don't know what that store is. To us. I'm pretty sure that is called To Us. I'm gonna ask her. What's the name of your store? To Us? Toes. Not To Us. I just... I'm not down with the cool stuff. This is really cool. A virtual lobby hotspot. Check that out. You can browse through hundreds. Hundreds of books. Free! Alright. Here it is. My way to gate E. Well that's a pretty wall. Very nice. Was it faith that put the pizza place right in front of my gate number? Hmm. I have to wonder. I have two hours before the flight takes off. Should I just give in now? Or should I just see how long I can go? Oh man. Look at this. Look at those pies. Look at those breadsticks. They have a real cool bar. Chicky and Pete's here in the Philadelphia airport. I've been in here a couple of times. Well this side is all brand new. I've never seen that before. But in here is where the original one was. And I used to love it in here. I just like the atmosphere. It's dark. It's like you're walking into a pub, you know? Oh yeah. I like it a lot. Let me explain this crazy story that just happened to me. I was standing here waiting for my flight. And some random gentleman came over brought me a slice of pizza and meatballs. And then he even gave me the receipts that I purchased it. I didn't do it. I was going to see how long I can wait. But I can't say no to a random person, right? He even left the receipt with my credit card number on it. So, you know, it would make it look legit. I got distracted. And now the gate is closing in five minutes. The gate is closing in five minutes. Five minutes, Titanic leaves. Oh, there's my plane right out there. There we go. Thank you. Oh boy. It smells funny in here. You touching the wall? I'm touching the wall too. Oh boy. I know this is a big word. When. I must find my seat. Oh, I see it. Oh, I got all window seats. And we are one away from basically being first class. Like if they don't show up, we're first class. That's how I look at it. Right? They don't show up. Oh boy. They might be shutting those and that means that's it. I think we're golden. We're golden. We got all this space. It feels good. Look at my shoulder. I don't know. Last time I feel like this didn't go the way I thought it was. Last second someone sat there. We'll see. We'll see. This is like the complete central hub of the Orlando International Airport. And it is separated from the actual security by these two little monorails. I don't know if they call them monorails but I call them monorails. Oh boy. I might miss mine. I want to get it. So I don't have to wait for the next one. You got to take these nifty things to get your baggage. I see my wife hiding. What are you hiding behind over there? You're hiding behind Goofy, are you? I see you there. Nothing to see here.  We're running out of here. Finally home. I get to see my Gracie girl. I already seen my main girl right here. But I cannot wait to see Gracie. I love her. I think Gracie's more the main girl. So Veronica's going to go inside with the camera and act like Gracie's not here yet. And then we're going to surprise Gracie. I can't wait to see what she says or does. Says I can't wait to see what she says too. Hi Gracie girl. I know you miss your daddy. But you're happy to see me right? Yeah? You love me? That's good. Yes I miss you so much. Oh man you should have seen that snarl. I didn't get to see the snarl. I miss you. I miss you so much. Yes.


He getting into, he knew he had to protect his family. And I think that he thought about that. His kids, his wife and all that. And instead of banging and trying to go back and forth and fight that, because dude had him on paperwork, he couldn't really do this and that and that third. So there we go, when we see him, I'm like, damn, that's the dude, you know, my dude, what's up?   Man, put it on here. Wow. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101, 101. Yeah, we gonna talk. Me and Snoop Dogg for the first time, how was that? Like you, you met him during the time when Pee and Deffro and they were getting him over to, how did that all go?  You know, I know every lyric from Arizona we ever did. He is.  You know, I was in the music at the time. And Snoop Dogg was an artist in which, you know, he had been out before. Some of these folks are so deceptive, using my styles like a contraceptive. And I know him, I love this music, love what he did, you know, and he was in LA at the time, so we out there doing our deals and we spending, we didn't move to LA. Yeah. I'm spending. You out there. Monday through Friday, I'm in LA. I'm home on the weekends, I'm back Monday. That's how we was working round the clock.  Did you enjoy it? Yeah, it was work, but it was fun, but it was just, you know, it just constant grind. You know, just constant grind. Why you were putting out albums so often? Well, that's because we, that's the way we say it. They had to care for it. Cause one year you put out 28 albums in 1998. Was that planned? Yeah, because we knew what the numbers, everything is numbers, right? Wait, so back to Snoop. Let's talk about Snoop. Yeah, let's talk about Snoop. We done talked about the big devil. Cause he mentioned about albums, that's why. It's because, you know, I love Snoop. And I love what he represents. And I love the way that he learns and he absorb things. And it was hard for him coming from LA to come to down south and then embrace everything we had going on at the time. You know, that's a big change.  That you didn't had all your life to go do something. You know that you need to do to better your life. So big ups for him. Even doing it. For having that kind of mindset though. Cause that's challenging and it'll make you very afraid.   And I think that he thought about that. His kids, his wife and all that. And instead of banging and trying to go back and forth and fight that, because dude had him on paperwork, he couldn't really do this in that third. So there we go, when we see him, I'm like, damn, that's the dude, you know, my dude, what's up?  You know what I'm saying?  Man, put it on his. Wow. I never took my chain off my neck. Oh yeah. You said, man, you with us. But what did you say about this? And did y'all already work that out that he would be going with y'all? No, initially we just, we saw him and we saw the situation even though as we just took charge of it. Did you ever have conversations with sugar in there? He did. He did. He didn't talk, I don't. You don't do no talking. Yeah, because when I watch the movies, should come off like you can't take nothing from him. Like he's a big, bad, you know. That was a movie. He's like, but at the end of the day, like when you look at the legacy and the legend and what you guys accomplished, man. It's crazy, I go back to the time when there wasn't nobody doing independent movies and about it was a thing. I don't even see how y'all pulled that off. Where did y'all mindset, y'all was older, but they were young for that. Snoop, Mystical, it would have been UGK them too but they- I gotta ask you about that but I'm from Texas. What I'm telling you about this, if we see there's an opportunity or someone of our elk that's being mistreated in some way and we have a way and an opportunity to put them together with something to make sense, to make money for both of us. We gonna pursue that. That's hard, man.  How you gonna stop me? They gonna stop you.


Edward, hey Eric coffee. Oh, hi doing Eric. I'm doing well. How are you Edward? I'm doing great. Yeah So I understand that you and your wife have watched a few of my videos, right? Yeah, is she there with you? Yes, she's here. Okay Okay, she can hear me. All right. I can barely hear her. That's fine Listed so we have about 20 minutes today, you know, how do we spend your time? Okay, I'll have a few questions. Okay The first one I have, you know, as a small business, I don't have any employees So will that be an issue in getting contracts? No It will not be an issue at all. No, okay another question I have Do I need to have a physical address or work out at my home? Is that that should be okay, right? That's okay. Yes. Now. Let me ask you this Edward. Um, first of all, tell me a little bit about your business What is it that you want to do? I do Accounting consulting so let's call accounting automation. I built visual basic applications for financial reporting needs The business financial report needs so I'm a CPA by trade But I Build out of the reports to automate whatever financial reporting needs a company may have And in turn using the office application. Okay, so I've never done anything like this for government type Work because we're looking at your videos We came to the conclusion that into bid as a as a new company trying to bid for Contracts probably is not a best way to go about doing it using soft contracting So most of our questions are from the perspective of a soft contractor. What are the pitfalls and soft contracting? What are the things that we should be aware of? um, so the pitfalls of subcontracting include Making sure that you are not a a what's called a third tier subcontractor Um, making sure you're two levels away from the top, you know, that's probably the main thing The other thing I would say is I wouldn't want to understand that I don't understand that part. Can you repeat that first? Okay, when you're a subcontractor The guy who gets the contract they're considered what's called a prime contractor Right. Okay. So the prime is the guy who has a contact with the government Yeah, the subcontractor works for the prime Yes, okay now What the subcontractor that works for the prime is considered tier one Okay, the subcontractor that works for the subcontractor is considered tier two Okay, right now tier one and tier two have protection Against for payments and claims From the government, but anything after that tier three and below do not have any type of protection Okay, that's good. So you want to you want to make sure that as a subcontractor you're tier one or tier two You don't want to be anything less than tier one or tier two How do you know what tier you are? easily because um the person who you're getting a contract from You would know you need to know where they're at Do they have the contact with the government or are they working for someone that has a contact with the government? Okay So, I mean that right there you'll know right away because um If they obviously you'll know if they have the contract the government because you you know that information Will be you a lot of times the clauses that they have from the government are considered flow down So the clauses and their contracts will flow through to your contract That's okay, you know The other way is When you're out there if you're on a project I mean you can ask the person to they you know, I mean I would ask them directly You know, is this your contract with the government? Who are you? You know, who's who you're working for right? So who are they working for who's who contracted them to do the work?  Do you have to commit to a certain term? Because I'm wondering like if there is a Imagine you you're getting yourself in a situation. Let's say um dishonest prime contractor or something that effect um Is there easy is there a way out? I mean, I know normally in contract law there Ways out with with least amount of litigation, you know, I mean, you don't want to get tied up in um Going to court or you know, is there easy? Well, does the government have a process that you can get out of a situation like that? Yes and no um Yes, the government does have avenues venues that you can use if you feel like you're being treated unfairly By the government themselves. Okay, however, if your contract is with a private company Those protections don't necessarily hold for you um, again, the only protections that you have Is falls under what's called the Miller Act And the Miller Act ensures that Subcontractors get paid again that applies to love, you know tier one and tier two Now most of the contracts that I've seen or that I've had in my in my history They all want to do mediation So most of the time no one actually wants to go through litigation So there will normally be a mediation clause in your contract, which will allow you to basically um You know resolve it via a third party service. That's minimal impact to both you and or the prime Or the the contractor Is that a common issue? There's a or are they generally resolve quite easily through mediation. I don't because I've not heard anything about, you know contractor prime contractor Um disputes stuff again because I've not been in part of that world. So I'm wondering is that a common uh Uh issue where there will be disputes about job performance or generally the subcontractor is just Let's go if he doesn't perform. Typically a subcontractor is yeah, it's let go if he doesn't perform Um, that's typically the yeah the way that they handle it they don't have The the the contractor with the government doesn't have the luxury to really Baby sit the subcontractor if they give you a contract They're gonna expect you to perform and if you can't perform they're gonna let you go Okay About billing for services that's gonna depend the subcontractor being able to build for services That's gonna depend on the whatever contract he designs with the prime contractor, correct? Uh-huh. Yes Very okay, what if once I decide to um Like, you know submit a bid for a subcontracting agreement What are the ways to contact the the prime contractor? Is there the same the same website that you mentioned? Uh, are you Submit bids to the same government's website or is that a totally separate process between the subcontractor And the prime contractor. Yeah, there's there's no there is no centralized database of prime contractors You'd have to identify projects that you're interested in and then reach out to the people You know reach out to the prime who was awarded that contract And that could be to just phone call or email. Is there preferred matters of reaching them? I would say, you know phone calls and emails are the best way to reach anyone I don't think I would not stop by the office of a prime contractor because you don't know Um, who's handling that particular contract what region what division and there's so some of these these primes are so large that um It would be very difficult to try to find anyone at a physical location So for me, I would the best way I would I would do is whatever contact information they have Online, that's what I would start Okay, so just um, okay We just recently completed, uh um statement of Capability, okay. I guess that's something that you kind of have to once you're submitting it to For you submitting a bid you would include that also, right and whatever else they're requesting Right, so the the capability statements are used when you are dealing with government agencies not so much when you're dealing with primes Okay So typically the government agencies ask for you for statements of capability Okay, what are the main what are the basic things I should have done before I can even begin? um Submitting bids for subcontractors like because we did some of we got like a don's number I mean I'll have And I incorporate and all that What I think that the basic things that you should do before you start submitting a bid is the first thing is finding out what are the requirements of the jobs that you're going after and I would make sure that I was able to Have all of my ducks in a row to meet those requirements So whatever that means for your industry, whether that means you need to have credit with a supplier whether that means you need to have Outside sales people Inside sales people. Do you need to have an engineer on staff? Do you need to have a person with a quality, you know, a qcf certification? Do you need to have a quality control manager field services people technical people specialized cameras or specialized equipment Whatever whatever the type of contracts that you're pursuing I would want to you know In order to you need to be prepared To have all of the stuff that they require in order to complete or fulfill your obligation of that contract And so whatever that means for you and your industry um They may call for you to have your computers meet a certain type of uh Minimum standards, so I would make sure my computers met those minimum standards So what I would encourage anyone out there to do including yourself is take a look at a contract that you're interested in pull down all the requirements And then make sure that you have all those things in place whether it's people products services um accounts Whatever the case may be pull that list down and make sure that you have all those things in place That's more important than being registered in sam Okay, you understand you follow. Yeah, so because a lot of times what people will do is You know, it's very easy to go through and get registered and sam and get registered. You're done All this kind of stuff. However when Someone appears in a government. Let's say the government wanted to give you a contract but you have to have You know, like I said, you may have to have specialized computers specialized equipment cameras technical stuff If they tried to give you a contract and they and they told you that you need to may have all these things in place And you didn't have them then you're not even in a position to accept the contract If we get about bidding, you're not even in a position to negotiate or accept a contract that they're trying to give you So I would encourage anyone out there everyone to make sure that you're ready And that you're in a position to even accept your first contract. Okay And the only one of the last question would be um, and I think you mentioned you and one of the videos that certifications are Not critical, right? It's not that essential to have no like, you know, small business certifications and all that kind of stuff But probably good to have So if I would say what are the essential ones? You know, there's there's not really an essential certification that we need to have I know I've never had a certification. I don't believe anyone needs certifications to be successful Okay, there's no essential certifications because um You can you can always find someone that you can partner with or joint venture with or team with That has a certification that they're not using so you don't need your own Okay, what are the main questions that we have? No, fantastic. Everyone listen what I would do I would encourage you go through the free course Um, and then it'll teach you a lot. I mean it's 18 days of content So there's a lot of content. I put a lot of work and effort into it It's probably two years into making that it took me to build this thing up So go through and get you some information even if you've watched all of my videos I encourage everyone to go through the free course I guarantee you're going to learn something new that you did not learn Um, because there is content on there. There's new information on there And so it's it's some of it's done even you know, it's even newer information than some of my out my videos that were done in 16 or 17 So I would encourage you to go through watch the videos take the course the free course Caught you nothing to do it and invest the time in yourself and in your business. That's what I would say. Okay. Okay I appreciate that. Thank you very much for your time. Listen. Thank you. Have a great one


Pregnant woman infuriated after steakhouse sees her belly and denies service. Being pregnant can be a time of discomfort for many expectant mothers. On a hot day, wearing what is most comfortable is the best choice for many people sometimes, which is why Cherisha Rayleigh Gobin wore a long flowing skirt and crop top to a restaurant in Marysville, Washington. However, she was denied service due to her crop top in September, 2017. Most of us go out of our way to show kindness to expectant mothers. After all, we know what a difficult nine months of pregnancy can be for many women. From offering her chairs on public transportation to just flashing a kind smile, most of us try to do little things for pregnant women that demonstrate how we empathize with their journey. However, one steakhouse in Marysville, Washington, was in steakhouse, asked a pregnant woman to leave their premises back in September 2017, for not adhering to their restaurant policy by wearing a crop top that revealed her bare belly, reports Cairo 7. Cherisha Rayleigh Gobin was seven months along in her pregnancy at the time of the incident. It was a hot summer night, so she dressed in a flowing skirt and a crop t-shirt with the words weirdo emblazoned on the chest. While the outfit might be a bit shocking to those from more traditional generations, crop tops have been a staple in modern fashion trends for quite some time now. The only thing that separated Cherisha from other crop top wearers was the fact that her belly protruded from under the hem of her crop tee. According to Cherisha on CBS News, the restaurant cited health code violations as the reason why they asked Cherisha to leave. I was hungry and the waitress bartender stopped us and said I'm sorry, you cannot be here in that shirt. And I said, are you being serious with me right now? And she said, yep, you cannot be here in that, Cherisha explained. She was seven and a half months pregnant with twins at the time. Cherisha was livid when she exited the restaurant and posted an angry rant on her Facebook page, accompanied by a picture of the allegedly unacceptable outfit. Just because my belly was bigger and sticking out, but had it been anyone else, I do not think there would have been any problem whatsoever, added Cherisha. I was livid. There was no way I was going to stay there. Cairo 7 spoke with the buzz in server that denied Cherisha service to get her side of the story. The server said that she did ask Cherisha to cover up because the restaurant has a no shirt, no shoes, no service, policy. And that the top Cherisha had worn did not constitute a shirt. The server added that she would have asked anyone else in that same top to cover up. To that, Cherisha replied that she has never heard of a crop top not counting as a shirt, and emphasized that she was wearing a shirt. It had sleeves, I did not even have cleavage showing, Cherisha insisted, and added that she felt like she was body shamed from the incident. It was ridiculous that I was shamed in the first place, and had to go drive across town to eat. According to Cherisha, her post on Facebook had garnered an overwhelmingly positive response, which surprised her. I think it says that everybody pretty much agrees that I was not out of bounds, or out of line, anyway, Cherisha noted while adding that buzz in has lost her business. As the story went viral and local community residents vowed to never step foot in the restaurant again, the management of the establishment sprung into action to issue an apology on their social media page. The server in question has been with our company for almost 20 years, the statement to the local news media issued by Buzz in management read. She was trying to use her best judgment and by no means was trying to be demeaning to, Cherisha. The company went on to offer their sincerest apologies. While most were outraged by the restaurant's actions, some community members actually cited with the restaurant, arguing that Cherisha's outfit was inappropriate, whether she was pregnant or not. In fact, there were many comments given on the story that was posted to YouTube that supported the server and the restaurant's policies. Many viewers of the video who agreed with the server's decision to turn Cherisha away talked about how her dressing was not appropriate for a public eating place. I sighed with the restaurant on this one, time and a place for everything, one of the top comments read. I would cover up with some clothing just to protect those babies, wrote one Natalie Nikalik. Or herself from Burns. You don't want to drop a slice or cup of tea on that belly. The incident even led to other customers of the steakhouse taking to writing reviews of the restaurant on Google and giving their two cents about the situation. One customer and Eileen Dietz, wrote, Everyone's complaining about the pregnant lady that came in half naked. I was there with my family when she came in. My first thought was put some clothes on. You're pregnant, good for you. That doesn't mean you have to show it off. Have some class. You're at a steakhouse for Christ's sake. Five stars because they turned away someone with inappropriate attire that violated health code, another reviewer, Michael Heath wrote. I would not be admitted wearing what that pregnant woman was wearing who is on the news now. It's sanitation and it's their duty. According to Health Hub, an exposed belly has no known adverse effects on the developing baby. But in places like restaurants where food spillage may happen, an exposed belly might be more prone to injury than a belly covered by fabric from hot food like soups spilling on it if an accident happens. We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Was Jerisha wronged by the buzz in or should she practice better judgment in choosing her outfits? Show this story to your friends so that we can hear their thoughts on the matter as well.
