Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Raul Kuschwach from PredictMedics. How are you today? I'm good, Tracy. How are you? Well, let's start with congratulations. You're doing what everybody else in the world wishes they were doing. You're achieving mandates regularly, and everybody's following your stock. So why don't we just start by asking you a real question. What are you doing right? Well, so it's about the different verticals that we are addressing with PredictMedics. I mean, we are an artificial intelligence company, and we are solving the real world problems. COVID-19 pandemic, we are all in the midst of it, and there we have a technology which is to mass-free for COVID-19. Similarly, impairment, a huge issue when it comes to workplace and law enforcement, and we have a solution for that. And the third vertical, mental illnesses. Again, $300 billion spent in the US last year, and there is so much subjectivity that goes into diagnosis, and we are developing a solution to diagnose mental illnesses. And of course, on top of that, with COVID-19, we also have the virtual health, which is a massive industry, and we have the solution, which is addressing a lot of pitfalls which is seen with current telehealth and telemedicine platforms. So overall, the market that we are addressing is perhaps a market which is greater than $300 billion a year. Okay, so I guess what you're telling, and I'm going to dumb it down for many of us, is that it's still a good time to get in the stock. It's not overvalued. Is that correct? Well, use how to look at the comparables. And just considering the different verticals we are in, the technologies we have, the partners we have, there is a lot of upside that we still see with predict medics.  I think the light weight on your board and management team only has one PhD. I think that's correct. The rest are multiple. I know. Okay, so let's go through these verticals if you don't mind. Obviously, COVID-19 is on everybody's mind. Can you tell us exactly how predict medics is using AI to solve the world's problems? So what we have developed are these modules which look like metal detectors. So you essentially walk through these modules and on the other end you have a green or a red light. If someone is identified to be positive for COVID-19 symptoms, a red light goes off. If not, then you get a green light. And it's really a tool that you can use for mass screening at airports, transit hubs, malls, office buildings, government buildings, really anywhere you can imagine where you have a big flow of people. And of course, many of us who have endured a COVID-19 test can't wait to find out how you can make this accessible to us immediately. What's the timeline for getting this testing application deployed to the public? So that's imminent. Okay, so we'll take that as a positive and then we'll go on to the second one. I think also the first time I met you, I was fascinated because you had provided another solution that I thought was a real issue with all of the cannabis craze that had happened in the last year's market. As you had found a way for the police, for instance, to test an individual for both sobriety with alcohol and cannabis simultaneously. So there's not two different tests. And of course, the cannabis test has always been questionable at the best of times. Can you give us an update on that and how you're doing with that? So again, we are moving full steam ahead with commercialization of our cannabis and alcohol screening technology. And again, it's a no touch, I mean, there is no biological sample which is involved. It's more about, again, people walking through a similar setup, which is similar to a metal detector. That you walk through those modules, the modules have all the cameras, all the hardware which is needed. And they communicate with our technology on the cloud and within a split second, you actually have an answer if someone is impaired under the influence of cannabis or alcohol. So again, that is also a mass screening tool which can be deployed at workplaces, for instance. OK, very, very interesting. So let's just move. I think you said the third vertical was mental illness. OK, so let's talk about mental illness. I don't even know where we go with that. We're following the psychedelics industry sector. And I had one of my investment advisors tell me he's visiting a shaman and trying LSD and everybody, mental illness, we're all interested. Tell us how you're dealing with that and what solution you're providing presently. And again, I mean, mental health is something which has really come to the forefront with this isolated environment we are in with COVID-19. And again, just looking at the numbers last year, over 300 billion dollars were spent in the US. And it's something that a huge chunk of population battles with every year. But when it comes to diagnosis, there is actually a lot of subjectivity which is involved in terms of diagnosing a person with this specific mental illness. So our take is, let us completely eliminate that subjectivity. What we have is really an AI technology that pretty much sits in front of you. It looks at you, it hears you. And it's about having that technology identify what kind of mental illness the person is likely to suffer from or is suffering from. Now, there is so much interesting information and so much news flow coming through your company as well on a regular basis. So I'm just going to point people to your website because the question that I want to, or the point that I would like to draw investors' attention to, in addition to those three verticals, we just touched upon that I think is significant, that is undervalued and underappreciated by the markets. They just don't understand it because probably most people are like me. You just have so much news going through, it's hard to keep up. But you have contracts with multi-billion dollar companies and I don't think people appreciate the significance of that. So can you talk to us a little bit more about that, please? Oh, definitely. I mean, for instance, if you look at Tec Mahendra, it's part of a conglomerate of companies which are worth hundreds and billions of dollars. Tec Mahendra is an information technology company with operations all over the world. They have a huge footprint even in Canada and they are putting together our COVID-19 screening and our impairment solution as a bundle in technologies that they're going to be selling in a post-COVID-19 environment. So for a tech entity which has been ranked by Forbes amongst the top 20 IT companies in the world, to actually take our technology and take it to that level, I mean, it speaks volumes, not just about what we have done in terms of developing our technology but also in terms of the need for that technology in the market because you've got to remember that an entity like Tec Mahendra, they are actually working with Fortune 500 companies all over the world. So basically you're solving the world's problems with AI technologies and you have multi-billion-dollar corporation contracts in place already or that the partners are and you have substantial news flow. Am I missing anything? Well, there is one thing that you're missing and it's really our telehealth and telemedicine platform which also does a lot of remote patient monitoring like right now, if someone is identified to be positive for COVID-19, they're placed in quarantine, for instance. Now, how do you monitor that individual? I mean, that individual cannot go to a clinic. You cannot have a doctor or nurse visit that individual and that's where the remote patient monitoring comes into play. And we have a platform which is designed to do that. And more so than that, I mean, we are actively working not just on the business development side but also on the technology development side. The last patents we filed, for instance, they pertain to our telemedicine platform and one of the patents actually deals with the utility of AI, how it can capture all this remote patient monitoring vitals, all the information and actually churn out recommendations to the physicians which can assist them in terms of perhaps making a diagnosis and also coming in with a treatment plan. Well, I'll tell you, Dr. Kuchwa, if you'll do us a favor and every time we put a news release out, just call us on Skype and then you can walk us through it so we can try and keep up with not just the news flow but obviously where it might go and help us appreciate how strategic your company is. Thanks for joining us. Thanks, Tracy, it's a pleasure.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here since I'm on screen five again here today First four months I want to give a shout out to creepy duck art over on Twitter They went ahead and made an official Dolby poster and released it today for the fourth day of the 12 days of Christmas from ghost Facing scream leading up to whatever it is We're gonna get on the 12th day just more marketing for the new film coming up They went ahead and put out this official duck or not duck, but Dolby cinema poster that was inspired by the work from the creepy duck art and What I think is so amazing about this is how again they are showing They are showing appreciation for what fans have already put out there with the fan posters and turning them into their own little things Putting spins on it to make it officially Motable for the upcoming entry. So as far as like what we wanted to talk about regarding Sam Carpenter Sam Carpenter and what this movie has to do with her as you see in the thumbnail there's some type of secret that's going on with her we know that and It seems like this is gonna be the new marine angle that they're gonna have a part of this fifth entry Which is something I felt like was missing from the second and fourth entry what was missing from scream 2 and scream 4 was this Subplot being dangled over Sydney's head something that was something that was so emotionally Devastating for her and also being used against her so we can see this More vulnerable broken down side trying to break her psyche Make her make her doubt herself make her go into these these deep dark thoughts sections of her head Just trying to unlock and tap into that trauma just to see her suffer That was that's what was missing from screen 2 and screen 4 the subplot of Marine Prescott And what I mean it was missing Of course, Mrs. Loomis. Mrs. Loomis motivations were related to Marine Prescott But she wasn't dangling any like me missing details about what happened to Marine or anything like that We got that again with screen 3 in screen We had that dangled over our head also because we were being told that the person who killed Marine had been found and convicted Only to find out that there was a question being raised while we're watching it Did Sydney actually convict the wrong man and what is going on with Marine Prescott? Is there another truth out there which we ultimately end up getting because the creeper seems to hold the keys to that truth and It gets unlocked at the end during the final act of that original film And then we get even more answers with more when more doors are unlocked about Sydney Prescott at the or about Marine Prescott Rather at the end of screen 3 so it's screen 2 and screen 4 you don't really have that so it's Sam Carpenter's story whatever her secret is We know that there's a feature it or some type of footage out there where Ghostface calls her and says they know her little Secret what that may be I've already I've seen you guys talk about it. I've shared numerous like images with some of you I know the last video I did about Billy Loomis showed you proof of him being involved It seems more and more likely that it has to do with some type of connection between her and Billy Loomis If you look at the feature it she actually does have a shot of her in the hospital and in the trailer I guess where she's running Her outfit is mirroring the image Billy had when he gets stabbed upstairs by Stu after him and Sydney have sex So her her secret Has to do with Billy From all the stuff that's pointed being pointed out in the whole mod is that we can see in the feature It's and just going off of how they already had one character Mindy Meeks Wearing similar clothing to a relative of theirs Randy when she's gonna be in the Stu's living room She has on similar cut a pattern of what her uncle had in the original film Sam secret seems like it's just gonna be playing a factor where the killer knows it is Going to use it against her and it's of course going to tie into the final reveal that we get in screen 5 That's something that again was missing in screen 2 and screen 4 where the killer knows something traumatic about the protagonist And is using it to constantly just dangle it over their head Make them doubt themselves make them just go into these deep dark places in their head of trauma that they're trying to get over Just trying to cause him an emotional heartbreak all over again over the event that they are already still struggling to cope with and Of course now they're also teasing that they might have some other details to share with them as it relates to that relation Or whatever secret it is that they know that they're keeping a Secret while Sam wants to keep it a secret as well Something is going on where they're just waiting of course to reveal it at the very final stage Because it ties into their interest and most likely wanting to frame Sam for the crimes that they've done all throughout Woodsboro in this upcoming Entry so I like the that that they are going back to that It's what I what I think is so good about that is it allows you the audience It creates more intrigue in this killer and their motivations You know her secret we don't and then other general audience people who are not trying to play detective with this movie They're going to get that similar sensation that you will get when you watch the original film You're gonna be asking all these questions like you had like how you asked did Sydney really convict the wrong man Is there is the killer that killed her mother still out there? Is this actually the new person that's going on these killing sprees right now? Which of course we got the answer so that the ending was a yes with Sam It's gonna be what does the what does the new killer know that she also knows that we're not gonna find out About until I would I would say the end of the movie and when I say we're not gonna find out I mean just a different aspect of it because the whole whatever her secret is The way the killer talks over the phone It gives the indication that they're gonna find this out very early on very early on in the film We're not gonna have to wait to find out what Sam seek what Sam's secret is But Sam's secret us knowing it so early on it can be used like how we knew Sydney's mom died a year earlier Us knowing the secret so early on will give us a way to tap into Sam's trauma see why she's struggling why she left town Help us become more attached to her the same way We got a chance to grow attached to city because of a hardship that she endured a year prior to the events of what were happening in the Original film we can see how the killer will try to use that secret to maybe make people around Sam doubt her Make them think that she's the one committing the crimes depending on what the secret is It's just all these different type of aspects and different intriguing elements that were again missing from screen 2 and screen 4 Where the killer is dangling? Something over the protagonist's head that they know that they both know is a is a source of trauma for them And they're just using it against them to just make the make the killings going on that much more dreadful and heart-wrenching for them Speaking of heart-wrenching Courtney Cox actually had a comment in the new featurette that came out where she said this is a heart This is everything's more. I guess weighted and it's heart-wrenching further I guess backing up and convincing those of us who think Dewey's gonna die that we in we indeed will be seen our goodbyes to deputy Dewey Riley in this upcoming films been a good ride Sure, the scene will break a lot of people's hearts still but if they don't do it though I will be shocked but it seems more and more likely they're gonna do that But let me know what you guys think about that down in the comments section below if you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe Turn on post notifications video in the description. I have links to my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there, of course If there's any movies news or if you're using I'm gonna cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Hey guys, how you doing? This is your boy Rich from Rich TV Live and you too can join the club at richpicksdaily.com where you can learn how to win and trade. This is how you doing? This is your boy Rich from Rich TV Live and richpicksdaily.com where you can go and join the trading club and learn about cryptocurrencies, specifically the mothership Bitcoin. We love Bitcoin. We love cryptocurrencies here on Rich TV Live. We always have since 2017. And one of our greatest investments that we've personally made here on Rich TV Live is into WonderFi, which just launched their app. I've personally just moved over some of my Ethereum assets into the app. I've also moved over some Mana assets into the app. I am going to be looking to move over some Bitcoin. Once they get Bitcoin for deposit on the app, I will be moving over some Bitcoin. I'm going to be looking to move over some Solana and some other cryptocurrencies that I personally own that I believe will get the opportunity to be put on the app and hopefully I'll be able to stake or earn rewards on some of my assets on the WonderFi app. Now, if you have not downloaded the app, go to the website, download the app right on your computer or right on your phone and you can start to deposit your assets and earn interest with DeFi decentralized finance utilizing the WonderFi app. Now, if you don't know the symbol in America is W-O-N-D-F and in Canada, W-N-D-R. It's also tokenized on the FTX exchange, also under the symbol W-N-D-R, which offers 24-hour, seven-day a week trading and a tokenized stock and gives investors exposure to WonderFi 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the FTX exchange. Now, I've also personally made a large investment into WonderFi. We just participated in the financing. The company just raised $45 million in a financing and is in the process of acquiring bit by huge, huge, huge news, huge catalysts for WonderFi technologies. And I have personally made an investment. You can see it in the description of this video, 29,167 shares of WonderFi, which I plan to hold long-term because I believe in the long-term potential of the company. Now, what I wanted to do is I wanna do an analysis where I can show you how WonderFi has performed over the last few months in comparison to its peers in this sector, the cryptocurrency blockchain technology, Bitcoin exposure sector of the stock market, which has been one of the hottest sectors in the past few years. And I believe in 2022, that trend will continue. Now, let me show you guys why I believe you need to really consider putting WonderFi on your radar and on your watch list right here, right now. So as of now, as of right now, Bitcoin is surging over 44,000 US. Now, when this was put together, this analysis, Bitcoin was at 38,000. So you gotta keep in mind that Bitcoin has just exploded, you know, 6,000 more than this. So obviously things are changed and these dates are as of January 31st. So we're now on February 7th. So things have changed quickly in the last week, but let's just say that as of January 31st, the price of WonderFi based on this analysis was at $1.58. Now, we know the price is higher today. The price is actually around $1.90 right now, okay? So we know that that price is not the real price, but based on the closing price on January 31st of $1.58, WonderFi was only down 5%. Despite the fact that Bitcoin at the time was down 37%. And then when you look at DeFi underneath WonderFi, you'll see that DeFi was down 45%. Hut 8, as you go down this list here, was down 59%. Voyager Digital, all of these have been huge success stories over the last year or so, was down 53%. Galaxy Digital was down 55%. Marathon was down 63%. Bit Farms, which I personally own as well, was down 49%. So on this list, I own WonderFi, I own Bitcoin, I own Bit Farms. So I do have exposure to a lot of these picks. Clean Spark down 69%. Cypher Mining down 64%. Bit Digital, which I also own as well, down 67%. Riot Blockchain down 51%. Hive down 54%. And Argo down 41%. These are some of the greatest assets in the crypto world, which are stocks and most of the miners, Bitcoin miners, and a lot of them are just Bitcoin assets that have exposure to Bitcoin that are buying Bitcoin. So you can gain exposure to Bitcoin and to blockchain assets by looking and investing in some of these assets and I've already invested in Bitcoin, WonderFi and currently Bit Farms and Bit Digital. So I have four of the stocks on this list, but the thing you need to really look at is that based on the closing price on January 31st, and we know that WonderFi is much higher today than 158, it was only down 5% when you compare them to their peers, all of which including Bitcoin were down 37% or more with a high of Clean Spark being down 69%. So when you compare WonderFi to its peers, it hasn't gone down as much. I think that's extremely bullish for WonderFi. It's one of the reasons why I think you need to put WonderFi on your radar, on your watch list. I think it's got incredible potential, absolutely incredible potential. And I think everybody should be aware and should be gaining exposure to WonderFi, whether it's through the stock market, WNDR in Canada, we'll take a look at it on the NeoExchange right now or WONDF in America, everybody should gain exposure to WonderFi and also WNDR on the FTX exchange. There you go. And you can also gain exposure to WonderFi in Frankfurt, Germany. So you can see WonderFi is now sitting at $1.90 and it's always important to understand the low-low and the high-high. I always like to mark those zones. Let me make sure I am sharing this screen with you properly. One second here, I'm gonna show you guys what I'm looking at here with WonderFi. I'm gonna share the screen. All right, and this is TradingView. So you can see WonderFi in Canada currently at $1.90. So it's up now and it has been as high as $3 and it's been as low, let's just say about at $1.20. So the low-low is $1.20, the high-high is $3.05 and it's sitting right at $1.90 right now. I think if you can get it at these levels or lower, it's a decent buy zone. And you can see in America, very similar, kind of right in our buy zone at $1.51. I think that these levels are lower, is a decent buy zone. And right here on the FTX exchange sitting at $1.52. So if you want exposure to WonderFi as a token, they are tokenized on the FTX exchange at a price of $1.52 and currently in America at $1.51 and in Canada at $1.90. So when you compare them to their peers, I think they perform quite well. That is quite bullish for WonderFi. That's why I'm a shareholder. I'm a long-term shareholder of WonderFi. I will be holding this position long because I believe that their upside is tremendous. I'd love to know what you guys think of this video. If you like the video, please smash the like button.

It is time to finalize your bets list for Super Bowl 56 between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals because we are just a couple of days away now, which means we got to get you set for this big game on Sunday. Let's know our favorite bets for Sunday's game. Welcome on into the FanDuel Live Q&A. That's right here on the FanDuel YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and Twitter channels. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com. Joined here once again by Brandon Cadulla and Jessica Gridiron. Jessica is on Twitter at Gridiron and Wine. Jessica, welcome back once again. How are you doing on this glorious, glorious Super Bowl Eve Eve? Oh, I'm doing great. I'm glad to be here. And it's just that thrill of the game is almost here. So it's exciting. Sunday can't come soon enough. I know. I think two weeks is too much to diagnose an entire game. The good thing is I can dig in a lot, but there's only so far I can go. So I'm ready for this game to kick off on Sunday for sure. Brandon Cadulla is the managing editor of numberfire.com. You can find him on Twitter at Gadulla13. And Brandon, we talked about the DFS side of things. Yesterday we're breaking down the betting side here today. How are you doing today? Good. I'm glad that it's Friday. I've been looking forward to this game for two weeks. But like you said, I've been digging into stuff. So I've convinced myself of basically every possible outcome. I've looked at all these stats. And I'm like, well, this is the key to the game. And I forget about that because I find something else. And I'm like, that's the key to this game. So I'm ready just to kind of get some takes out here with all the research I've done. And then just from there, wait and see what happens on Sunday. The key to the game is like one of those custodial engineer key chains that has like a key to like every room in the entire building on at this point. So that's a rat in the analysis portion of all this. We are, of course, here alive on the Facebook and Twitter pages as we are pretty often. So make sure you are subscribed on your platform of choice. We do have NBA, DFS streams every Wednesday with Tom Vecchio. So a lot of good stuff still to come here, baseball, just around the corner, maybe some special streams in between as well. So hit subscribe wherever you prefer watching. Also, we're going to take some questions throughout the stream for today. So if you've got questions about some prompts you're looking at, maybe not so sure on, want to hear our thoughts on, put them in chat. Again, wherever you're watching, YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Twitter does not matter. Put those questions in. We'll get to them on the air later on today. But let's start things off here on the broad level and talk about the game on the whole because the way we view the game will influence our props for today and for Sunday. So Jessica, I want to start with you because I've not heard your thoughts on this game yet. We have the Rams minus four, Bengals plus four with a total of 48 and a half. How do you see this game playing out? Any read on those more traditional markets for you? Yeah, I mean, originally this line is, I really don't really like that it's at minus four. And I guess even you mentioned you have it, we have this two weeks. So at first I was like, oh, Bengals and I usually love taking the dogs. But then as the time went on, you have more time to think, you have more time to analyze and you sit there and go, well, it's the Rams. They have the better, you know. The Bengals have been the dream team and believe me, I was kind of high on them seeing them in the Super Bowl, but now that they're actually here and they're going up against the Rams, it comes down to defense and the Rams, they have the better defense, especially in my opinion, of course, according to DVOA and EPA, all across the board. And then they have their offense too. They have a powerhouse offense and Matthew Stafford, when he doesn't throw an interception, he plays really well, you know? So in the end, I'm liking the Rams, I'm taking them at minus four. I'm gonna play that and I'm actually, if we're playing our little game today too, I'm gonna throw a unit on that. That's how confident I am. And as long as the Rams can continue to run the ball, they'll be able to win this game. If they can control the clock and, you know, keep the ball out of basically out of that dream team, like we've seen, I feel like they'll be able to, you know, win this game and they'll be able to cover. Okay, so we are gonna do the game we played in the previous week. So if you have not watched our previous streams, what we do here on the show, on the Friday show is we each have three units to allocate however we want across this one game. And whoever has the most units at the end of the Super Bowl will win the contest. So Jessica's first bet is one unit on the Rams minus four at minus one, 12 over at Fandall Sports. But what about for you, Brandon? What are you seeing here in the traditional markets for Rams versus Bengals? Yeah, I'm gonna stay away from an actual recommendation in terms of the over under the spread and the money line. My numbers have this about 4.4 points in favor of the Rams. That's not enough for me to wanna get there. It's actually like four and a half on Fox bet. For example, it's been sitting at four on Fandall Sports book pretty much, you know, for two weeks now. So I don't think there's enough for me to wanna get on the spread. I think that the total is about right, which is never fun to say. Like, I think this is super efficient, but my numbers are about 0.8 points low on the over under. So I don't really wanna go that route either. I also would rather not root for an under in this game although a lot of the value in the props, I think, do come on unders based on the odds associated with them. My baseline assumption for this game is going to be that the Rams get out ahead early because of the early game tendencies for these two teams. And that's gonna drive things, but as far as the overall markets go, I'm not seeing a whole lot that I would put any units on for our game. Yeah, I have Rams minus 4.2 in my numbers as well. So it does lean towards Jessica's side of having the Rams being the better side here. Not enough for me to actually take it though. I think the total's pretty efficient as well. So stay away from me. And I think that like honestly, it's just kind of, it's there for a reason, is my read on this. So I think that it makes a lot of sense that these things are settled in where they are. Well, dig into some props here. In a second, but first let's go to the comments over on YouTube Grim fan asking about Super Bowl bingo.  That's where you can enter in the bingo for Super Bowl 56. And the fun thing is if you've got like a Super Bowl party at your house and some people there maybe are not super into football, they can play along with Super Bowl bingo as a way to like kind of have some fun and some fun along there as well. So you got people who don't care as much about the game, totally fine. Having played some Super Bowl bingo and trying to get some free prizes there. Also $56,000 Super Showdown presented by Irish Spring. That is a single game contest over on FanDuel, the fantasy side of things. Brandon and I broke down the single game DFS slate yesterday on the heat check fantasy podcast. You can find that over on the FanDuel YouTube page, but also up on the number fire daily fantasy podcast feed. Okay, born to laugh is wondering any offensive linemen to score receiving touchdown game prop, yay or nay? I'm gonna go nay here. Just, I can't see it happening. Jessica, can you talk me into an offensive linemen scoring receiving touchdown this game because I'm not going there. No, if the Chiefs were in the Super Bowl, that'd be another question, but a possible outcome for me, but I don't know, I don't really see it happening. I'd be a nay in this game. Andy Reid, Eric Biennemy might score two offensive linemen touchdowns because they love cooking up some weird stuff. Brandon, I'm gonna ask you about this one then. Born to Laugh wants to know total individual touchdown scores over four and a half. So looking at like the anytime touchdown markets and stuff like that, where do you fall on this? Okay, so my baseline assumption for this total is 27-20. I think we're gonna get some field goals based on how these coaches make decisions. So I think that I'm gonna stick with the under on four and a half total touchdown scores for this game. Okay, so let's go with Grimfan over here. First touchdown score a true. Any of Cooper Cup, Joe Mixon, T Higgins scored the first touchdown at two to one. Okay, so let's go to the first touchdown market over here. We've got Cooper Cup at five to one. We've got Joe Mixon at plus 750 and then T Higgins at 11 to one. I can't quite get there at two to one personally. I don't think that's quite long enough for me to buy in. I'm guessing that that's like enhanced odds from what you get here, but I don't think that the numbers for Link Haps lay things. So I'm okay staying away from that one person. I know it's boring to say no, but like also just no for me here. Okay, Grimfan total individual Cincinnati Bengals touchdown scores over two and a half plus 190. I think the issue here is, A, you have to assume two things. You have to assume both that they score at least three touchdowns and that those touchdowns are different. When Joe Mixon scores every touchdown, you're gonna hit an under year. So I think that's my hang up here is I can't quite get there. The good thing is, you know, it is plus 190. So maybe Jessica, we can get there a plus 190. I need a little bit more than that personally. What about you on this one? Yeah, I feel like I would lean away from, I don't know, I don't know if I'd wanna throw anything on that. When it comes down to touchdowns though, I do have, there is one that I do like for any time touchdown. Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. I feel like as possible and I feel like any time touchdown with Cam Acres at minus 105 right now, I think that would be a good prop bet to take because, you know, the Rams they're gonna be able to get down, they're gonna wanna wanna control the ball, sorry, they're gonna wanna control the clock. Let's see if I can talk today. And they're gonna wanna get down to the end zone and then they just need to rely on Cam Acres to be able to punch it in. So I feel like that would be a good safe bet to make on any time touchdown. Okay, so Jessica is Cam Acres at plus 100. I previously had Joe Mixon, he was plus 115 last week and he was plus 110 earlier this week. He's now even money. I think that is short to the point where it's no longer a situation where I wanna dive in. I will say on this any time touchdown markets, Odell Beckham is plus 130 here, but there is an odds boost over on FanDuel to you can boost two to one. I would take that there if I can get a two to one, but a plus 130 not quite getting there with where the numbers currently stand. I think the interesting one to me is Sony Michelle at plus 290, not to, you know, going against the Cam Acres one. But I think that Michelle actually had a decent red zone role in that conference championship game. He was in for four out of six snaps when they were within 12 yards of the goal line and Acres in for two. Now, I think that part of the reason why you could buy into Acres is to say, hey, you got hurt in that game and like maybe that's why they were limiting him there. So like that's why you could still buy into Acres. And that's why I think that the one Jessica was talking about makes sense, but Michelle could be that guy there, could be the third down back. I think with where the odds currently stand right now, my favorite any time touchdown score would probably be Michelle at plus 290. It's either him or Tyler Boyd at plus 250. I think guys like Nixon are now efficient. I would not go there. What about you, Brandon? What's your read on the touchdown score market right now over at FanDuel? So I'm not a big touchdown prop guy just because it's a high variance outcome.   Just saying. Well, that's the other part of it.  I know, I know. So my numbers have Joe Mix and about 54% likely to score. So there's a little bit of a value on him still at plus 100. So I'm all right with that. His red zone role has been awesome. 91% in the red zone in terms of their rushing share, 48% of their overall red zone plays have gone to Mixon. So I still think that I could get behind that. As for the Rams out like Van Jefferson, is he still plus 295? He's 320, he got boosted. Okay, so you got, okay. So I have about 24% likely to score. That makes him a value of plus 295. That would be even better at the new odds. And I just said I don't like touchdown props too much because it's high variance. That gets even more complicated whenever you say this guy's got to score first, but Van at plus 1800 when I last looked, I had to score first. I thought that was a fun way to maybe start off the game with a, you know, a small bet, get some action to Van. He scored as many times as Cooper Cup just to kick off the Rams games this entire season. So. And Van did get a full practicing on Thursday for the first time since before the divisional round. So that's a plus as well. Healthier than he was previously. Tyler Higby's banged up. Maybe enough to funnel some more work over Van Jefferson's way. Well, we're on the touchdown prop market. DJ's asking about Samajie Perine at seven to one. Now, Samajie Perine did score during the conference championship, but it was on a long kind of busted play. And like you said, Brandon, Joe Nixon has had a tremendous role in the red zone. If we look during the playoffs, a 48% red zone share. So a percentage of carries are targets inside the red zone for this team. I think seven to one would need to be a bit longer for me to get there. So no Samajie Perine for me personally in the touchdown markets. Let's go now to the passing props and talk about these quarterbacks. We got Matthew Stafford versus Joe Burrow. These markets have held pretty steady throughout the week. So let's talk to you, Jessica. We got Joe Burrow, two 78 and a half, Matthew Stafford, two 83 and a half, and also some passing attempt numbers, et cetera, et cetera. When you look at the quarterback props, anything standing out for you? Yeah, actually I like Joe Burrow with most pass attempts at minus 110. I just feel like they're gonna be trailing a lot and they're gonna have to rely on Burrow to be able to throw the ball.  Another one I also really like too is over one and a half total interceptions, minus 110. I just feel like both of them are known to throw interceptions. They've actually have done it 11 times in the 20 games this season. And I just feel like again, if something big happens and either team is gonna have to try and get back in this game, what are they gonna do? They're gonna rely on the quarterback to be able to throw the ball. They're gonna probably make for some plays that maybe are not the best decision. And in return, some interceptions will happen. Yeah, I think that I can get behind that one as well. I actually hope that your Burrow to lead in pass attempts one is correct because one of my bets for our game is that Joe Burrow will go over 36 and a half attempts. That is minus 106 over at Fanjul Sports. We're on the same page here. It's in part because I do agree where again, if my numbers had the runs by four that implies they could trail. But also I think the Bengals will be more aggressive than maybe the sport than Fanjul is saying they will be here given the fact that given the fact that they have been a bit more pass heavy at times during the playoffs, they're early down first half pass rate over the past five games with Burrow is 66%. Their full season mark was 59%. So they've been more pass heavy. And I think that that could lead to getting Burrow over 36 and a half. He's gone over that in four of the past five games. So personally, I think that's a good bet. And I will make that one of my unit bets for our game Burrow over 36 and a half. So Jessica and I both riding Joe Burrow overs from riding with Joe Burrow to drop back quite a bit here, Brandon. What about you? What are you seeing in the passing markets? I got a Joe Burrow under. I can tell by their laughing. They're snickering. Yeah, you have that like Brandon look on your face like about to bust out the contrarian boy here. But it's on the completions. So then I chose completion specifically under 24 and a half at minus 122 because I don't want to bet against Burrow's volume or yardage because he's got the high leverage receivers he can throw to and get a lot of yards after catch. But in terms of completions, Burrow is having an outlier season in completion rate over expectation based on both NFL's next gen stats model, NFL Fasters model. He is like top 20 since 1999 and completion rate over expected. So you throw that in against this Rams defense which is top five and completion rate over expected allowed. I think that, yes, I'm playing this angle that the Bengals will have to throw. I do think that the Rams will be able, as Jessica mentioned, to establish that run a bit which I don't normally advocate for but it seems like something that they would like to do. Keep the Bengals off the field. So I think that Burrow could still have a high yardage output, throw it a lot but he might not have the completion rate that we're looking for just based on this matchup and some regression. But for a unit for this game, I'm gonna stick with the passing prop here and go with the under on Matthew Stafford's attempts, 36 and a half minus 114. Both of these teams have actually been slower than the NFL average in the playoffs if you adjust for game context. It's about two seconds slower than the NFL average per play. That stuff adds up. And if we have the Rams playing from ahead, I think that they don't necessarily need to get Stafford 37 pass attempts to win this game. And they've been a little bit more run heavy in the red zone as well in the playoffs. It's kind of strange for them because they were so pass heavy in the regular season. And with all three running backs now in the mix, kind of just playing the angle that the Rams do play from ahead and that they don't have to rely on Stafford. Yeah, I think Stafford's gonna be efficient but I think that the volume might not be there for him to get 37 attempts. Plus if you're efficient, you don't throw as much. So like that could actually lead to an under here as well and you look at the Bengals against the Chiefs, they were dropping into coverage. Could see the same thing here because you don't really want to blitz Stafford with how good he is against the Blitz. And that could lead to more rush attempts. So I could see this one going under as well for Matthew Stafford. We got a breaking news coming here from Grimm Fan. We'll call him Grimm Schefter now on or call them Grimm Schefter. Tyler Higby ruled out for Sunday. So the Van Jefferson numbers more enticing. I'm curious that that will move with Higby being ruled out. I just want to check on Jefferson. He's still 33 and a half from a yardage perspective. So maybe we'll check back on that later. But Tyler Higby ruled out that's good for Van props I think. Kendall Blanton I'm less into. He had four targets across two games when Higby was out in weeks 14 and 15. Did have five last week but I'm not sure if that was with Bryson Hopkins and active and I'd expect him to be active for this time. So I would be a little bit wary of that one. Jacob is also talking about some Joe Burrow props like the total under 48 and a half in Burrow over 10 and a half rushing yards. We had someone I don't recall actually who was someone on Thursday was talking about I think it might have been Ryan Williams talking about Burrow's rushing yardage over. So he is on board with you there as well. Larry or Jacob let's move over to the receiving yardage props and maybe talk about some Van Jefferson a bit more starting off with you Brandon anything you're seeing in the receiving yardage numbers that you like right now. Yeah, actually two overs. So I'll buck the trend here for me. But Van over 33 and a half. So if you can still get that while it is where it is I have it 72% likely that he goes over that based on my baseline projections. I know it doesn't take a whole lot though and Van is also a high ADOT receiver. So he could probably get there in one catch. And last game Van actually had more air yards than Cooper cup on five targets compared to cups 14 which it just sort of goes to show that his role is still really good. There's some volatility with Van but I like his over and for another unit for our game I'm gonna go with an over on Tyler Boyd 42 and a half for minus 110 odds. So according to pro football focus Jaylen Ramsey has played the most coverage snaps from the slot among all Rams defenders. He's allowed 0.84 yards per coverage snap. All other Rams have allowed 1.11. The NFL average is a 1.19. So it's basically a league average matchup. Ramsey is gonna bump out of the slot to focus on Jamar Chase and T Higgins. CG Usama is not gonna be a hundred percent even if he says he's gonna play but can't imagine that he's a hundred percent and Tyler Boyd has run around on 83% of the drop backs for the Bengals in the playoffs. So I think there's gonna be a lot of work for Tyler Boyd over the middle in this game. Yeah and Ramsey's played in the slot I think less than 10% of the snaps during the playoffs. So I think that that is probably the right way to view things where it will not be Ramsey out there going with Chase and Higgins on the outside. So I think that would work well as well. So Brandon is on Van Jefferson and Tyler Boyd overs. What about you Jessica? What are you seeing if any value in the receiving yardage markets? I stayed away from the receiving yards for this game but I do have some rushing yards. So I'll let you, once we get to the rushing I'll be able to chime in here. But when it came to receiving there's nothing that really stuck out to me. I gotta echo you there. There's nothing in the receiving yardage market that actually stands out to me. So we're actually on the same page there with it. Up being the best market. So let's slide over to the rushing yardage market. We're actually have two bets that I like for our game. I had the burrow pass attempt one and I like both of these numbers the rushing plus receiving yardage numbers. I like the Nixon over at 88 and a half and I like the Acres under at 83 and a half. Nixon, he actually was up at like 95 last week. And this came down to 90 earlier on this week and it went down to 87 and a half on Wednesday. Back up 88 and a half now. I do still think there is value on that number with where it currently stands. So I think that the Nixon over is the way to go with this market. As far as Acres go again, it's a worry about Michelle working in the third downs. It's a worry about Darryl Henderson being back. I think there are a couple of things that factor in here that lead me towards an under for Cam Acres. So I got Nixon over 88 and a half, Acres under but Jessica what are you seeing here on the rushing side of things? Yeah, so when it comes to rushing my favorite play is taking Joe Nixon under 16 and a half rushing yards at minus 115. Again, going back to, I feel like they're gonna be trailing most of this game and they're gonna have to abandon that run game. And then like I mentioned earlier, they're gonna have to rely on Joe Burrow and his arm and be able to keep up with this defense because like I said, they're gonna be struggling all game and if they wanna continue to be in it, this is like, they're gonna have to rely on Joe, being able to throw those balls, throw a couple of interceptions so I can hit my other prop and I'm not saying they're gonna get destroyed by any means but I feel like they are just gonna have to rely more on the pass than the run and with that, Joe Nixon's not gonna be able to hit that 16 and a half. Well, I like that your props mesh really well together because you have the Burrow attempt number, you have a lot of pass attempts for him, you have the interception number which is correlated to pass attempts and you have Nixon under rushing yards. So your props play well together, they're getting along on the playground and stuff like that. I think that that's a positive for sure because you're giving yourself upside. If you're right in your assumption that the Bengals trail, that's gonna lead to this cascading effect where it increases the odds that your props, it was kind of that kind of thought process that played in for you trying to essentially tie them together. So if you're right on one thing, you can brand on all things at the same time. Yeah, and I actually, with that being said, I kind of have a four, I have a four leg Parley that I liked that I went along with it basically. So with the four leg, I have Joe Mixon under 16 and a half rushing yards. I have the Anytime Touchdown cam makers. I have Anytime Touchdown Jamar Chase because it's Jamar Chase and we know that well, him and Burrow have been all season in their chemistry and it's a Super Bowl and magical things. I feel like, well, something will happen and you're gonna see this amazing catch. Let's hope it's, you know, which from Jamar Chase and that happens in a minute. It would be shocking to see that, right? Jamar Chase doing something cool. I know, yeah, exactly. And then Rams minus two and a half. So with, like I mentioned earlier, that four is a little high, but a field goal to me could easily cover in this game and it's at plus 968. And I feel like if you want to, you know, throw some money on a fun Parley, I feel like that would be a good one to take. Man, we're getting creative. I love it. But also like it's not anything outlandish. Like you're not going with anything that doesn't mesh well together. Cause again, if the Bengals fall behind, that leads to more pass attempts, which leads to more touchdown chances for Jamar Chase. Leads to fewer rush attempts for Joe Mixon. If the Rams are ahead, that's more for Cam Acres. Acres meshes well with the Rams minus two and a half. So again, thinking about the way your props intertwine, I think is a summary to play things here. So I think that that's pretty interesting as well. Let's go to Brandon here. Brandon rushing yardage numbers or rushing props in general, anything of value to you there? So the Cam Acres rushing attempts market, it's 16 and a half. The odds on the under minus 144, but even if you account for that, I still see some value there with what my model is showing just because we're looking at a, what is supposed to be the hot hand approach? And based on what we saw from, now, based on what we saw last game, I think that Sony Michelle should have the first chance to show that he's got the hot hand. He's got some playoff experience. Cam Acres is really underperformed from an efficiency standpoint. I could see him being a factor. I don't really see him getting 17 carries. So I think that's a pretty safe one, but because not a lot of mine are very fun, I have one that's fun, but I think also makes sense. And it's over five and a half rushing yards for Matthew Stafford at minus 110. Stafford's run for 22, six and eight yards on four, six and five attempts in the playoffs. The Bengals are 27th in rushing success rate, a lot of quarterbacks this season, according to number of fires metrics. Ryan Tano had 12 against them. Derek Carr had 20 on one play. Holmes had 19. I think that if it comes down to Matthew Stafford picking up a first down, he's capable of doing that. He just doesn't do it very often. We also see him, he's got three goal line carries in the playoffs. So I think that they're fine, getting a little bit more, getting a little more carefree with what Matthew Stafford is doing. So I think Stafford over five and a half is kind of fun. And it also makes sense to me with one scramble to pick up a first down. I feel like you're just like a secret like Stafford rushing truth here. Like you just like hang out like deep in like a basement, like watching Matthew Stafford like rush attempts tape. I think that that's like, in my head cannon, that's what happened. Look, I love Matthew Stafford. So, and I think this one makes sense though. Okay, so let's open up the vault here and talk about some fun props because DJ has one that I refused to bet. So I'm not going to have any thoughts on this. I have thoughts. I'm just not going to bet it. Okay, DJ wants to know the color of the Gatorade at the end. And the correct answer, DJ is not listed. The correct answer is lime. It will be lime guaranteed. Don't bet that based on our recommendation. I'm just saying it's, this is a hot take. I want to be clear. This is not betting recommendation. Like I need a disclaimer on the bottom cal that says this is not a betting recommendation. Don't actually do that. But lime green is the actual color of the Gatorade guaranteed. Jessica, hot takes about Gatorade, go. Purple, even though it's only like purple, I think like 28% of the time or something like, I don't know, something crazy like that. It's, that's just my favorite color. So when it comes to that, I'm choosing my favorite color.  I'm on board with that as well, Brandon. Gatorade color takes, go. Give DJ what he wants. Never fade tails on the coin toss and never fade lemon lime Gatorade. So it's minus one of four on the coin toss. I'm assuming that you would actually do like an alternate market, you know, like if you could hypothetically just like, lay you drop 120 on tails if you had to, right? I mean, it's always a lock, right? Yeah, obviously, tails never fails. Grim fan is also asking about a yardage prop, seven, 60 and a half. I have not personally delved into this market. I'm guessing neither of you have either. If you have, you couldn't shout out, but I have no real read on this one personally. Yeah, I have not. I have not. No. Sorry, Grim fan. Sorry to let you down. We can't quite get there on our sides. We got a pick here from five, two, eight, O'Hazy. Cincinnati gonna beat the, or beating the Chiefs in my Super Bowl. Sad Broncos fans. So you got the Chiefs out of the Super Bowl.  That is all that we have here for today on our final live stream of the 2022 or 2021, I guess, NFL season. I just got used to saying 2022 and now I'm mixing myself up. Anyway, Super Bowl 56 coming up on Sunday. Jessica, any final thoughts for you before close-up shot for today? Yeah, one cool little fun, interesting thing I found out was White Jersey teams are 34 and 20 all time straight up, which is 63%. The Rams are wearing white. So they're 14 and three straight up in the last 17 Super Bowls. So something to keep in mind. I know it's one of those trends, but hey, that's another reason why I was like, I'll take the Rams. Do you want to know the most important part of that though?  Like it's like an off white, it looks terrible. So like the most important thing is they are wearing white and not bone. So I agree that that actually does matter. If they were in bone, bangles all the way. But if it's white, we're fine. I'm okay with that. That's Jessica Gridiron. You can find her on Twitter at gridiron and wine, Brandon Gadoula is at Gadoula 13. Brandon, any final thoughts for you for bangles versus Rams? My last unit is Rams are score first minus 126. Bangles are not very good to start games. The Rams are significantly better. So that's the route I'm going. Just hating on Joe Burrow. That's all I hear here. I wore the orange. It's not Burrow. It's not Burrow so much. Hey, Zach Taylor. Okay, I get it. Actually, I wore the orange for Joe Mixon. He will be the MVP for your FanDuel single game contest. Highest score in the game. You heard it here first. That is all that we have here for today. I'm on Twitter at Jim Sonnis, J-I-M-S-A-N-N-E-S. Big thank you to Calvin Theobald, our video producer for running the video side of things here today. Thank you, Cal, as always. Thank you all for tuning in, not just today, but for the entire post season. Enjoy Super Bowl 56. Have fun, go win some bets. We'll talk to you all once again soon. This has been the FanDuel Live Q&A.


Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children, M.I.S.C., also known as Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Adults, M.S.I.A., is a rare and serious complication of COVID-19 that can cause multiple organ dysfunction.

Crimean partisans reported the defeat of the military unit of the Russians in Zankoi. During the night explosions in the city of Zankoi, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, a Russian military unit was hit as well as air defense radar and the personnel of the invaders. This was reported by the Crimean partisans telegram channel. A military unit was hit in Zankoi. The air defense and radar of the invaders as well as personnel were destroyed, the message says. The Ministry of Defense of Russia stated that overnight into November the 24th an attack by almost 20 Ukrainian drones in Crimea and another region of the Russian Federation was repelled.

At the same time in telegram channels you can see messages about the sounds of explosions that residents of the Zankoi in the north of Crimea heard.


Hello and welcome. My name is O'Galley Odo and I thank you for joining us today in a discussion about Haiti. I am USA Haiti's Acting Mission Director and I reside in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Now, the US Agency for International Development is the US government's entity that delivers taxpayer-funded aid to Haiti and other less developed countries around the world. And as a foreign diplomat, I walk out of the US Embassy in Haiti where our agency is one of many within the embassy. Now, you may know this already, but I just like repeating it. USA is the premier international development agency of the United States government. We had one of the legs in the three-legged stool that is the US foreign policy approach as the development leg. The other legs of this stool are diplomacy, headed by the US State Department and defense, headed by the military. Now, in over 60 years of our existence, our primary mission has been to reduce poverty across the globe. But more recently, like many others in the development community, we realized that the world could end extreme poverty and that we could see this happen in our lifetime. And so, we revised our mission to partner to end extreme poverty and to advance security and prosperity in the United States and across the world. And one of our most important takeaways from my experience in development in the past 50 years or so is that we cannot solve these problems in the developing countries alone. We've learned the limits of our influence. But what do I mean by that? In all the time that we've practiced development, we've learned that true positive and effective or lasting change only occurs when we stand shoulder to shoulder with the recipient country and with other stakeholders to propose and to implement solutions. It occurs when we work with those who understand the local context, the culture, the language and the history of the places where we work. And I must add that in places like Haiti, we have to work with those who are able to capture lessons learned from one context or one country and who are able and willing to put in the work to replicate those successes from those other contexts and those countries. People like you. Now my focus today will be on this Caribbean island that is a short two hour flight away from Miami. However, I encourage you to think about Haiti in the context of other less developed countries with equally challenging operating environments. Places like Haiti, which for whatever reason face daunting challenges. I will highlight the recent events that have occurred in Haiti that now pose additional challenges to this country's future development. But as you must know, there is great opportunity in every crisis. Our objective today is to reveal that there is a role for impact investors in Haiti and in less developed developed countries like this. I believe that your creative solutions over the long run could and indeed will help SMEs grow and help Haiti to chart a new crop in new costs. Let me talk about the early context for it for a minute. I'll begin by providing some basic context about this country to be certain. Haiti is a wonderful country with a vibrant culture, resilient people and as Caribbean islands go. It is one of the much larger countries. Now Haiti became the first country in the world to be led by former slaves after declaring its independence in 1804. Now over the last two centuries, Haiti met more than its share of challenges. Immediately following its independence, the country was churned internationally and heavily indebted. Now overall, this country has endured various periods of hardship and today its poverty is striking. As you may recall, in January 2010, a massive magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck this country. Its epicenter was only about 25 kilometers or 15 miles west of the capital for the Prince. That earthquake killed more than 300,000 people and left more than 1.5 million people homeless. That earthquake was assessed as one of the worst that had occurred in this region in the last 200 years. Now following that in October 2016, disaster struck this island again or this part of the island again. When Hurricane Matthew made landfall in the southern part of the country. Now this resulted in over 500 deaths and cost extensive damage to crops, houses, livestock and infrastructure. Now since 2018, the security in Haiti has been deteriorating. There's a gang violence crisis that dominates life for the Prince. It is taking a heavy toll on the Haitian people and greatly impacts business at almost every level. In addition, Haiti has long been unable to deliver adequate social infrastructure and public goods to its people. And just this summer, there's been a wave of calamities. In July, President Juvenile Moise was assassinated in his residence. On August 14, the magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck the southern part of southwestern part of the country, killing more than 2,000 people. An injury more than $12,000. It destroyed a lot of houses, schools and basic infrastructure. And now on September 27, another crisis is brought which many of you may have noticed. On the US-Mexico border in Texas, there were thousands of Haitian migrants that arrived there in waves. Now despite this dire situation that I have painted, there is great opportunity in Haiti. I would venture to say that in Haiti, the social returns on investment are some of the highest in the world. The marginal benefit to investing $1 in Haiti is truly tremendous. And the impact investing community combined with philanthropy and entrepreneurship can do great things together with us in development. Like elsewhere in the world, small businesses in Haiti struggle to access capital from local financiers, particularly nowadays when commercial banks are rightfully as opposed in capital preservation mode. Now in places like Haiti, few non-bank financial institutions exist, which means the depth of capital solutions has been shallow. Now furthermore, there are small and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to obtain risk capital from local lenders and also not the typical recipient of foreign aid. Now rather than tell you about the missing middle though, which is a familiar story across the globe, I would like to simply highlight an alternative approach to investing in this country. The alternative of identifying a development problem and building financing structures around that solution as opposed to the more typical approach of identifying broad opportunities for wholesale lending via local financial institutions, which could accelerate the impact. What do I mean by that? Take for example, the infamous problem of deforestation in Haiti, which is largely due to a tremendous demand for charcoal, but also partly due to its geography. Now the charcoal is used for cooking. On one hand, the production of charcoal is a major economic livelihood for rural Asians. And on the other hand, charcoal is a driver of deforestation and environmental degradation. USAID and other donors have sought to address this problem through various means. But what I want to highlight today is our partnership with local businesses that sell gas stoves and solar stoves as an alternative. The value chain for selling non-wood stoves is complex and to create markets that help patients shift from charcoal to alternatives such as gas or solar stoves require developing creative financial schemes. In this case, working with local lending cooperative societies to create financing options that enable Haitians to purchase the stoves in installments. That has been critical for us. No doubt this approach takes more time and effort. And there maybe there's a role here for the more patient capital providers such as philanthropists to first develop the solution and impact investors to provide the financial capital. Now, starting small in Haiti could lead to other opportunities as well. Finding a solution to one problem will lead to the discovery of other opportunities. That's for sure. And maybe there is a limited supply of gas to operate the new stoves and finance is required to expand access to gas or to look at various opportunities to develop alternative sources of energy. Or maybe while analyzing the supply of gas, you identify a gap in social infrastructure such as transportation and roads. Another unique investment play in Haiti could be to work with local government to understand where and how the private sector provides public services. As I mentioned previously, Haitians are a resilient people where the government has failed to provide services or has been unable to provide services. You can bank on a Haitian somewhere developing a private sector led solution. No doubt solving these complex problems takes time and money. We believe, however, that there's a unique role for each of you and that making the effort will be worth it for you and for your stakeholders. We hope you will join us in the following panel discussion where we'll explore with our social and special guests how external capital can be deployed in Haiti, even in today's tough environment. Thank you.


I want to first start by saying that PMI is one of the founding coalition partners for the Brightline Coalition. This is our second year here and our primary purpose of coming to Davos is to advocate and express to the world the importance of the connection between strategy and implementation. PMI is a non-profit association that represents project managers and program managers and we're in the position on the implementation side traditionally and we are here to express the importance of how those two have to come together and work in partnership. The key takeaway for me was an interesting contrast between one of the panelists talked about companies have or struggle with, 85% of their population is not engaged, not engaged with the activities of the company. So the contrast was with that and the requirements of the new digital age and the new disruptive age of change is a constant. Engagement is highly critical for success as an individual and as for companies and organizations. So what I found to be interesting is the continuous learning aspects that are required in the future and how engaging that is by definition so that there's a huge gap that needs to be filled. Well the interesting thing here is and it's probably not a new idea other than the fact that change happens so rapidly. Technological change happens, it doubles every year, a year and a half. The human adoption of change is not that fast so as the change and disruption accelerates the actual gap between the human aspect or the employee adoption actually gets larger so we have to recognize that and recognize you have to fill that gap with more engagement giving the employees more purpose and particularly the next generation and then upskilling them throughout their careers. PMI is a non-profit association that supports the project management profession. We have been working on that for 50 years, this is our 50th anniversary this year and we intend for the next 50 years to evolve and support project managers and people that maybe not have the project manager role but actually manage projects, the extension and the broadening of that over the next 10, 20 and then ultimately 50 years.


Jen asks, Is the following scenario possible? Could a hacker change the client's software of Bitcoin Core so that it would accept fraudulent updates? Then everybody downloads the new update, then the majority of honest miners, without knowing, become dishonest miners and propagate fraudulent transactions. Which is the real Bitcoin then? Is it the chain with more proof-of-work or the one without fraudulent transactions? Jen, this scenario is not possible. The reason it's not possible is because of several safeguards that are in place. First of all, updates to Bitcoin Core software are not done automatically. You don't have the client downloading an update to itself. That would provide a vector for someone to compromise all of the mining nodes and all of the network nodes in the network in one go. Which is why there isn't an option like that. Miners have to manually download and update or upgrade their mining software and their node software when they decide they want to update it. Clearly, since miners are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of electricity, or even millions of dollars of electricity mining, they're not going to risk that with any old software that might produce invalid blocks, and therefore cause them to lose all of this money. There are incentives in place to make sure that miners are very careful about upgrading their software. If they introduce a bug, they lose a lot of money, and they lose money every hour that they're mining with this buggy software. All of their blocks will get invalidated by everybody else. Honest miners remain honest by carefully checking their software. That means testing that software extensively before pushing it into the mining rigs. Effectively, software updates are not done in one step. They're done on test networks, then validated with some of the miners, and then pushed gradually out to the infrastructure. At the same time, the same thing happens for network nodes. Operators of network nodes, users, people running exchanges, people running merchant services, people running all of these other infrastructure services, do not just willy-nilly upgrade the nodes whenever they decide without validating those nodes and making sure that the software still operates correctly, so it has to go through a series of... The upgrades don't happen simultaneously. The network at any point in time runs five or six different versions of the software. At any moment in time right now, let's say my node is running version 0.17.2 of Bitcoin Core. There are going to be nodes out there running 17.1, 17.0. There's probably some nodes running v16. There might even be some nodes running v15, which is two versions behind, as well as other implementations of the Bitcoin software than a not Bitcoin Core. All of these are following the same rules, which means that if one of them went astray, the rest of the network would reject those blocks and transactions and keep it in check, forking it off, if necessary, and disconnecting it from the network, simply by rejecting its transactions and blocks. Because the ecosystem has some diversity, diversity of versions, as well as diversity of clients, and because upgrades don't happen simultaneously in a coordinated fashion, but instead they roll out, with every party that has economic incentives doing due diligence and testing, the scenario where someone can compromise this is impossible to pull off. That's not even counting the fact that all releases of the Bitcoin Core software are PGP-signed by the maintainers. All of the Git commits are PGP-signed, and there's a system called a deterministic build system that produces executables that contain digital signatures that can be validated, where you can run software to build the Bitcoin Core software with a standard configuration, a deterministic build as it's known, and then you can prove that the resulting binary is the same as the binary that everybody else built, and therefore hasn't been compromised in any way. So you can basically trace trust in the software from the binary to the source code, to the commits that were made by various maintainers, to the commits that were made by various developers, and identify what changes were introduced by whom. So there's a lot of infrastructure to prevent this kind of compromise. Jen asks, are non-mining nodes validating transactions if, guess, what prevents them from validating fraudulent transactions? That's a great question, Jan. All nodes are validating transactions. All nodes are validating blocks. All transactions get validated by all nodes. A node does not propagate a transaction unless it validates it first, meaning that if you send a transaction into the network, the first node you give it to will validate it before forwarding it on to anybody else. The truth propagates, lies stop propagating. The first node to find a transaction that is invalid the moment they receive it and fail to validate it by the rules they are following, they will reject that and not propagate it. But here's the important trick, they will not only reject it and fail to propagate it, they will punish the node that sent them that transaction. They will say, according to my rules, you sent me a lie. So your node is now going into a timeout. I'm not talking to you for 12 hours. Bye! I don't know what the timeout characteristics are, but there is a mechanism within Bitcoin Core clients, but most nodes software out there progressively makes the timeout worse.  The second time you do it, it will give you a longer timeout. The third time it might kick you off the network completely. Basically, stop talking to you, disconnect, and not accept connections from your IP address again. This mechanism ensures that nodes that try to propagate transactions that other nodes consider a violation of the rules, find themselves very, very quickly isolated from the network. We've seen, in fact, during forks in the network, where the network will automatically split in half, where the nodes that are supporting one fork versus another stop talking to each other, because the moment they try to propagate to each other something that the other side doesn't consider valid, the other side stops talking to them. For example, if you have a fork where a group of nodes decide to use new rules that are not valid to the rest of the network, they will find themselves cut off from the rest of the network. The rest of the network will ignore all transactions, so that's what prevents any node from validating fraudulent transactions and propagating on the network. The other nodes stop trusting it. If nodes could propagate fraudulent transactions, couldn't there be another Bitcoin blockchain where the miners just aren't truthful and write a higher mining difficulty in the block, therefore making it appear that their chain has more proof of work? What I just said about how transactions propagate also applies to blocks. Those miners, when they try to propagate these blocks, which have a different set of difficulty than what is expected by the rest of the network, or they have fraudulent proof of work in them, that is not validated, then every node they try to propagate this new block will not only fail to validate it and reject that block and therefore ignore it, but they will also penalize the node that sent them that block and say, you're a liar, time out, which means that the miners trying to propagate these blocks out are held in check by the nodes that refuse to propagate those blocks further. This is a really important concept because it underpins the ability of non-mining nodes to be participants in consensus, especially non-mining nodes that form economic interests within the network, such as, for example, the nodes of merchants and exchanges in large wallets. If you can't propagate your blocks to these nodes, that also means you can't sell your coins on exchanges in order to pay for electricity. Therefore, even nodes that you have at home on your low machine, checking blocks and propagating them, or refusing to propagate them, has an impact on consensus. If all of those nodes decided that a block was not real, was not valid, and refused to propagate it, that miner would either have to try to propagate their blocks directly to the nodes of an exchange, or find an exchange that still believes them that this is a valid block. Otherwise, they mine the block, they spend the electricity, but nobody propagates it anywhere.


Well, we're only a few hours away from the start of the 12 best days of summer for some. The Minnesota State Fair officially kicks off tomorrow with gates opening at 6 a.m. All around the fairgrounds, workers and vendors were busy today installing rides, setting up booths and unloading boxes and boxes of food to last throughout the event. Miller concessions joined the state fair's list of vendors in 2017. Last year, the food booth sold over 34,000 pounds of cheese curds. With one year under their belt, they're now ready for another 12 days of food and fun. Yeah, we're buttoning up last minute, getting everything ready to go for tomorrow's big opening day. And just odds and ends, it's a never-ending process. We were pretty prepared last year. We just, our back set up area, we kind of streamlined it so we should be a little more efficient. And as long as the people are there, I think we're going to be ready for them. Josh Peterson will be out and about around the fair, bringing us stories on a stick all next week. The Minnesota State Fair runs from tomorrow through Labor Day. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.


I Show you something interesting is it another one of the powers?  Oh Wait, maybe it is so and that looks like I guess we're like animal claws Oh, yeah, okay double yeah It's like a tail Cat cat. Oh my god. He's a giant cat It is so in Dude that suit though it looks so cool with it Dude, how is Pauly still getting up bro. I've been laying in the same spot. It is zone. Okay carnivore zone It's like subclasses I mean, it's not everybody though Strongest close quarters. Yeah a little bit of a little bit of info right there. He's a carnivore. He's even stronger Oh Have to take care of them before He's like I'll take care of them soon I'm just gonna collapse the building Oh my god Yeah, dude, how is Pauly moving Dude, he's a unit Tell it to her Pauly you ain't cool no more That's an OP suit by the way that Luchi's wearing that's got some stretching abilities the stretch stretch fruit I guess that's kind of just Luffy's I Wait, I thought the finger pistol is it cuz it's a claw now. It's actually like a blade Yeah before was his finger it's choppers is crushed.  That's crazy. Wait that looks nuts. Oh my god.  Oh my god It's all the world government what a shot god damn I think he's taking a sausage man Wait They could see it as a good or bad thing like part of the framing or not I don't know maybe they just see us like she was unlucky and didn't get out in time. Yeah, they do Oh my god, hand them over to the Navy and even though the Navy inherently is a part of this responsible They'll look so cool man, I'm so mad at them, but they look so badass Part of the Frankie oh wait that is them and we're Frankie My god I Thank you since his regards Luffy is a tad brioche by They are so What a crazy disguise first Frankie I like how gung ho they are about being in the Frankie family Maybe this is a chance for Frankie to flex though He seems pretty powerful when he fought Luffy Who's happening They're crying listening to Musa's story bro. Oh my god Wait so is that Mary? They got married inside So are they just vibing like what's happening or is he just waiting for Luffy to show up That's nice of him to bring Mary though Stop is still going Frankie's so so bizarre man I get it This man didn't they say it was hot Usopp is just still going man. I still feel bad for him. It's so sad thinking he's alone right now without the crew Yeah, maybe a little bit.  Yeah, it's coming. I guess it's over the bridge But didn't they say it's like a stronger storm than usual Oh, yeah, Mary's saves Say everybody's used to it It's getting worse worse dude all the area down there is so mysterious to me Oh Wait, that's cool My god, wait, that's so worrying how much is it rising in the place that seemed perfect at first We got that bad it would be impossible It doesn't look really nice I think Tom That train Frankie and I spoke then Tom Was it brought people here Made it and now we know that Frankie was his disciple Oh Pick them all down and dumpy my god The mask is off who is it? Luno Kaleeva Am I supposed to be shocked they were taken out the Frankie family is disappointed up until now Frankie himself not so much But the family there's some regular regular Joe's they can see the city starting to water is rising rising All right, so things just look worse and worse every every couple episodes I mean the whole plot shifted when we found out that like CP9 were the ship rights But Luffy and Zoro were actually put their place much harder than even I was anticipating I mean they didn't even get any hits in like at all and most enemies up until this point I guess like crocodile. He's really put in this place at first in a room though He was like his his like common enemy. They're not common like a natural born enemy They said this they have such a wide arsenal of powers and Adjustments that they can make on top of being very intelligent that I'm almost more scared of them I it's probably just a recency bias since we're just seeing them fight now But there's there's four of them and they all share these powers They're sort of just one conglomerate in my eyes and the fact that they would have to take down to this conglomerate four times Over is absurd and they can't they all for a Luffy and Zoro lost chopper was crushed So it's it's really setting these four up CP9 up to me I'm pretty sure the big bads of this arc and they are they're killing the game. They get out all of Galila I mean they were tightly word Galila, but I mean everybody else the ship rides everyone and now they literally just Frankie stands in their way And I mean like I said Frankie stood his ground against Luffy even kind of putting Luffy in his plate Luffy He didn't get slapped around a little bit recently. Let's be honest But I don't think even he could stand up against all four of them guys That's been ever episode 245 246 for one piece watch your do drop us up on the channel if you are new I catch you guys in the next one This base
