Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. I thought I'd just show a few things that I've received over the last week or so. So first of all I had some happy mail from my friend Marianne and she sent me a beautiful card and some of her lovely artwork but she also sent me these really lovely brushes. So I've got a nice selection here and I've also got some stencil brushes as well so I'm really looking forward to using them and yeah I just thought it was a really really sweet gesture. Let me show you the card actually as well. This was her card here and I've since now been told that this beautiful pop-up teacup is a new anagriffin dye. Isn't that stunning? Absolutely wonderful, it's certainly put a smile on my face and I love the way that she's done the flowers, she's got some faceted gemstones there in the centres that really do sparkle and just all that lovely detail, beautiful patterned papers. A lot of sparkle there, looks like she's used a sparkle pen or some Winkastella or something, it's just got lots and lots of shine. So that was absolutely gorgeous, she's wrote a lovely message on the back there as well so yeah big thank you there for sending me that. So that was some friend mail and then the lovely Helen at Handmade at Helen or Handmade by Helen, she sent me the two large thousand mil bottles of Kalao which was so thoughtful. I did a shout out for her and a lot of you went to her website and purchased the glue so as a thank you she sent me two bottles so I've got plenty to keep me going here but she also did send me some other adhesives so I thought I'd share these with you. I've got these here so I've got the, this is a mega roll red liner tape and this is the 3 mil by 14 meters. This one is your 12 millimeters by 10 meters long and this one is 6 millimeters by 10 meters long so I've got absolutely heaps on here. This one is super thin I've never had one this thin so yeah I'll definitely be using those ones and then she's also sent me a glue tape pen Crafters Companion and I've also got some craft foam pads here these are the 12 mil by 6 mil by 3 mil so they are rectangular shape nice and thick and then she also sent me this here which is a pack of three and it's the low tack tape for craft application and then 19 millimeters by 75 meters on each of these so I've got three water-based temporary fix clear tape so I've got plenty to keep me going there. I think she heard me on one of my lives when I was saying that I've got no more red liner tape and I need to order some so again very very kind of you Helen and again if you do want to you know check out Helen's website I'll link it below I'm sure she's got lots of other fun things over there as well. Then I also received these and I've been waiting for these for a while because they were currently sold out and then Arteza very kindly sent these to me now I've been working with Arteza for quite a few months and it may even be a year or so and I use their products a lot and I've been using the their other colored pencils during the Facebook lives a lot of them and it's what it's kind of my go-to pencil I do have lots of other brands as well but it's in my big kind of pencil wrap that I have so it's just the one I grab a lot at the moment and I they said to me you know would you like to choose some things I said I'd really like to try your expert pencils so this is the 120 I'm not going to go into detail with this I'm not going to do swatches and all that lot with this video I'm going to do it all in a separate video but I've got five or six trays here of the colored pencils and yeah I just can't wait to use them so these here they say that you've got 120 unique colors artist quality four mil lead brake resistant blendable and acid free so I'm really looking forward to trying those out then lastly I picked up a few things from craft stash so I did share on my facebook page last week that they had made these stamps for you know with everything that's going on in the world at the moment creative stamps have produced these stamps here and you've got one for key workers which is your thank you you've got missing out you've got tough times and you've got thank you rainbow and I believe that all the profits from these are going to the NHS so and that's in the UK that's our national health service do you know what I was so surprised when these landed in the door because I honestly thought they were this size this is how big I was expecting them to be so when I received these they're just brilliant they're all photopolymer the sentiments are just brilliant I am so happy I've got these because you know even after things have settled and we're kind of getting back to our normal you know lives these sentiments will still work they're still really really nice I love the little images as well you've got the little trolley we've got the bin and that one there you've got the box for like your your your careers you know your ups your EPD Royal Mail that kind of thing but you've got not all superheroes wear capes you've got a lovely thank you one there key workers rock we couldn't be more grateful to you for being someone to be proud of so you've got thank you for being someone to be proud of thank you for keeping us safe thank you for all you are doing thank you for keeping things going for being there for us for me thanks thank you for being someone to look up to and then you've got here thank you for caring for someone I love isn't that really nice I love that one really like that one so that's your key worker thank you this one here is missing out so it says smiles are also contagious sending love at such a tough time I miss your face I say that and I actually said that to my friend the other day she works in the boots pharmacy and she's been working through all of this and she's had some really testing times at the beginning and I went in there and she's got a plastic screen and we kind of touched with the screen either side and I said I miss your face and then when this arrived through my door and I thought yeah I love it I love this one here I miss you more than I miss my phone when it's out of charge I really miss you but I love not sharing next year we can party like it's 2020 there's always next year if you're reading this you graduated congratulations this one says no graduation celebration and then it's got underneath but we are still very proud of you this one says no exams only you could get away with that one missed me missed me yet for your birthday this year you will have more cake then this one says miss your prom ask for the money instead and then you have happy and you have lockdown and you have birthday but they're all separate stamps so you can you know change them as you want to but I like the happy lockdown birthday because you know it's all for what's going on in the world it really is but it's also something that I think we're all going to look back on and remember these times so you know to have these kind of cards with just little kind of nods to what's happening in the world I think will be things to look back on and remember so I really like that one then you've got tough times so this one says this too will pass do what you can with what you have where you are stars can't shine without darkness I will catch you if you fall new adventures ahead oh sorry new adventures lie ahead we will meet again and I hope it will be soon love and friendship are the best medicines sometimes a rainbow is better than a pot of gold time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters and that is very true because I know a lot of people that have said that the best way out is always through we are better together be proud of how far you have come have faith in how far you will go and again that's a really nice one okay and then this wow I honestly thought the rainbow like I said I thought it was going to be quite small this is brilliant and again take away the thank you take away the NHS key workers this is going to be so nice just on birthday cards you could stamp unicorns you know I'm sure lots of us have got a unicorn stamp or something in our stash it's just such a nice size and I've actually got some really fun ideas to use this in 3d makes as well so but I like that I've got that NHS stamp because it's the only one I'm ever going to have I don't think I'm going to find that one as you know something so it's get your hands on it because these are limited edition they're not around for long and yeah I just I'm super pleased I've got them so creative stamping craft stash you've done brilliantly with these I'm so so pleased with them and yeah if you can grab them get your hands on them because even if you're outside of the UK okay I know it's not the NHS but you can certainly all of these here you know will be perfect no matter where you are in the world because there's nothing there that's I guess UK specific yeah super pleased with those and then I picked up this one here I love this I've seen it and I thought oh yeah and I'm going to get it this time so it's the hogs and kisses you make me feel like I can fly and then this one says missing you pig time look at this one here it's a little rubber ring but it's got a donut you know design on it a splat love that one with a little birthday present this one with the wings and then you've got more splats there you've got the puddle which will be mud I think it's great lots of fun then I also picked up this one you know I love Daisy May stamps and this was again a limited edition it was a five pound special stamp set and it's the village memorial stamp set so it will go with all of the other stamps if you do collect the Daisy May design stamps this will go with her village which I do have and again it's just one of these ones that I just wanted it in my stash and it's got some really lovely little sentiments there I love the bird you've got the banner and the samples that Claire made who designs this Clairoland were beautiful so I thought yeah I want to do you know some of those cards as well so yeah really pleased I've got that one and again if I can find all the links hopefully they're still available I will share them all below and then finally I picked myself up some silver mirrored card I just thought I'll have a little look through see what else I can get and oh you can just about see me there yeah I picked up this here so it's the chrome silver a4 250 gsm you get five sheets high gloss mirrored card acid and lingham free and that's by tonic studio I also received two magazines so I'm just adding them into this video so I've got here the latest this is issue 65 a dye cutting essentials magazine excuse the glare let me just move it across lift up a bit there there you go this is a really nice size cocktail glass dye and you can also download extra sentiments which are on the back I'll show you in a moment but you can make shaker cards with this you can see they put some little like sprinkles inside there but you've got your little umbrella you've got the stick and then you have the word cheers there and then on the back there's some inspiration there's loads of inspiration in the magazine but you can see all of these free sentiments that you can download as well so in the magazine as always it's a nice bumper size you get lots and lots of pages of inspiration you've got amazing 3d projects using your exclusive free dye there along with cards as well and I've got my one in here which I done and this was using a new release from press cut dies so it was these butterflies in bottom folders and then also I had the unicorns I love to do that on this stepper card I've got a little pop-up box card I've done this one which is the inside floating card which I've done before on my channel really really fun cards to do so I show you how I made all of them and as always it's just full of just so much inspiration lots of different themes masculine you know parties there's the dyes just lots and lots and this carousel is amazing so yeah look forward to sitting down and reading through that because I haven't had a chance yet and then I was super pleased to get this one so I was asked again quite a few months ago now to do three masculine makes for the new volume one of the new Altenew box magazine so this is full there's absolutely tons in this you have 67 floral makes to inspire you you get a 18 piece layering stamp set a six in one stencil a three dice three piece die set and then you also get 32 page of paper with 16 designs and it's really nice paper so I'll just give you a little peek inside so I know you know before I was kind of you know working with the magazines it's really hard to see them in the shops I would go and purchase them and when it's in a box you just can't really see it and you like to have a look so hopefully you know I know lots of you always thank me for sharing these videos because it does give you a better insight into what's inside the magazines so here is the magazine with the papers inside and they are a matte finish and they are a nice thick paper there and you know your sentiments you've got them on that plain paper there so they're easy to cut out and then you have all of these here which will cut with the die so you don't have to fuzzy cut there's dies to cut all of this as well and then look at all these beautiful papers very you know you look at it and you know it's Altenew it's just it's gorgeous you can see that I just go through and then you've got the repeats again so you get two of everything so you've got you know a lot of sentiments there you cut them all up and put them in a little little storage kind of little box and you know use them on many things and again more of those flowers again so that all repeats for you and then if I just show you this here so here is your die and you can just see it's a nice big die of that flower and this one here actually will die cut the the smallest spray here so it's this one so your large die will do all of these big ones the main flower and these are you know if you're familiar with Altenew, Altenew are famed for their layering techniques so they're layered stamps so you use multiple inks to create that depth that's what these are so you don't need dies for them because these layer on to this larger one and then here's your leaf again these will all layer into the leaf and then you have the die to die cut it you also get some really nice sentiments you've got hello sweet friend you have miss you and you have thank you down there as well plus you've got all those printed sentiments inside and then here is that stencil and this was one that I used for one of the makes or three of them I done but one of them I've done focusing on this stencil here and it's really nice to use along with the die there and one of mine was actually made it onto the front cover which is this one here where I die cut all of the leaves to make that wreath and it's just a car that says all the best and I've done some layering with the papers there and then again I'll give you a slight little flick through but not too much because I don't like to give away but just look for an example there of some of the beautiful things you make that's all heat embossed in gold those leaves then the centers you know different elements of the layered parts of the stamp have been embossed just embossed the outer flower there you know just the the frame of the flower absolutely stunning really really is nice again that's all your papers and then you've got more in spoke look at this one here stunning really is pretty such a nice set there's just there's tons absolutely tons Helen's done some stuff in there as well so yeah I really did enjoy that one and hopefully those of you you know that do like to get your box kits this is volume one I also done that one maybe some of you recognize they asked me to do a shirt card so I used that little spray one there and I heat embossed that one actually but again I talk you through how to do that inside so yeah that is volume one so if you are someone that likes to collect your magazine box kits you know grab this one while it's the first one because they're always very popular okay so again that's the two of them there issue 65 of die cutting essentials and volume one of the new alternate box kit okay so that's everything I can't wait I always get excited it's about the only thing I've got to look forward to right now is any craft supplies that may fall through the letter box so I'm really excited to play around with these make some nice cards with these lovely stamps use my lovely new paint brushes that I've got there and I'm going to be you're going to see me use them a lot and hopefully they're really really nice to use and I'll be doing a separate video on that as well so look out for it I will be back very soon with another tutorial bye


YouTube team keep it clean. We've been getting so much bad news recently as Ravens fans this guy hurt this guy out This guy on injuries or this guy done for the season so much has been happening And it's been like man.  There will be more There will be more injuries it happens, but it's not just to the Ravens It happens to literally every single football team It's the worst part of the game the most unfortunate part of the game the saddest part of the game Injuries they happen and that they will still continue to happen But this is why we got to appreciate when we get good news that much more Especially with all the bad news that we've been getting as Ravens fans. It's been rough And a lot of y'all have expressed Your feelings some of y'all have even taken it out on me like Raven stop making videos about the injuries and stuff and it's like We make videos about whatever is going on with the Ravens good or bad and Whether you heard it from me or heard it from somewhere else. You were still going to hear it regardless So we're gonna continue updating you whether it's good stuff whether it's bad stuff and everything in between but today Today we got the news that Hollywood has returned to practice because he had been missing practice for the past couple of days Now Hollywood wasn't somebody that we talked about Missing practice really at all because I honestly wasn't concerned that he was missing practice I did not think he was gonna miss this game against the Chiefs I did not think he was gonna be out for any the foreseeable future I just did not think that Hollywood was going to be long-term anything. I didn't even think it was gonna be short-term I just I did not have any doubt in my mind that Hollywood Was not gonna play in this upcoming game against the Chiefs always figured he was gonna play always thinking he's gonna be fine But he hadn't been practicing but I just wasn't concerned But it is still nice to hear that he returned to practice today That's a beautiful thing because This is a game for Hollywood. This is a big game for Hollywood. Why well because it's prime time and Just because it's his Instagram handle and I think it's his Twitter handle as well prime-time jet It's him. It's not just a handle. It's real life He is a prime-time jet when the lights are on when the stage is the biggest That's when he shines the most Because you could hate Hollywood all you want to you could talk about this talk about that But one thing you can never deny is that when everything's on the line, he shows up now somebody else who Just scary to think about it was just I was worried about it Especially because of what we had heard from everybody else who went through the same thing was Devin DuVernay and yesterday We talked about Devin DuVernay. He had the groin injury It was like man groin injury those things could linger and you just you just never know what a groin injury And with Devin DuVernay when they said that I just automatically thought Rashal Bateman Marlin Humphrey Because the groin that that the area of the groin and the abdomen and whatnot. It's tough to judge And it was just a lot of scary thoughts Came into my mind and I certainly if you would have asked me yesterday Even if you would ask me this morning before practice happened.  No, not at all. Nope. Don't think it's happening. Nope But Devin DuVernay returned and that was a beautiful thing to hear. It's a beautiful thing to see Well see you on Twitter and stuff from guys who? Do the uh the practice and stuff, but anyway, it was so nice to hear that Devin DuVernay was back Because with Devin DuVernay What he brings to the game just again the the element of Explosiveness and I know there's there were some people I saw in the comment section They were like, all right. Well now to approach a and Tyler Wallace they better than him anyway It's their time and Everybody's of course entitled to feel how they feel But Devin DuVernay in the return game alone plays a big part a big part Because I'm expecting him at some point in this season to get a punt return for a touchdown I'm expecting it because He got it man. He got it that that that that big playability on special teams It's there and we of course saw and it just so happened to be in the Chiefs game last year when he got the kick Return for a touchdown. So we know he can do that that that that element is in his game So if and when that does happen as well this season, it won't be a surprise It'll be a beautiful thing though, but I'm I'm expecting him to get a punt return too, especially because of opportunity An opportunity plays such a big part in everything Last year He got some opportunity, but it was toward the end of the season And we talk about especially with unique and got ways comments which made a lot of sense But we talk about opportunity The more you get at an opportunity the more reps you get Then the more comfortable you get in the better you can get at something And that's what it was with Devin DuVernay early on it was pro shape of course But then when they traded for unique and got way the numbers game They they had to make some decisions some business decisions and they were like, okay Well, we passed the ball to this guy pro shape like one or two times all season.  Give him more opportunity Um and just speaking of opportunity something that uh, well unique and got quite His comments. It's just something to watch for this uh, this upcoming season moving forward because With the uh, the pass rush, um, we know the pass rush has been a big concern But if you can't let guys get into a rhythm Um, you do keep and we talked about this before you keep taking guys on and off and on and off and on and off Then that makes it harder for them to get into a rhythm and that's really really with any position You look at Tyson Williams, of course We heard the presser yesterday from Greg Roman, uh, because they he was asked. Hey, why why why'd you take off Tyson Williams? Who was that about Greg? Come on now, buddy. Why did you take off Tyson? And he said, um, that it was just about getting the other running backs opportunities Because he was like, oh the the the days of just having one running back Um, the days are just having one running back as your guy. Those days are long gone Well as Ravens fans. Yes, we do know that but we also know The days early on in in a in a regular season of going with the hot hand Those days I wish those days would return because those days for years have been long gone with the Ravens Because we remember last year and we just we don't want to base Greg Roman on last year And we don't want to just we can't judge him off of one game But I think we just do not want to see the same tendencies We don't want to see the same tendencies Because last year early on in the season they had the young running backs Obviously jk and gusts the younger they had mark ingram, but they kept force feeding mark ingram when jk and gusts were hot They kept doing that and it was like man. What why for what? What are you doing? And we saw that throughout the beginning of the season But then when mark started being deactivated it was like, oh and then guess what happened We saw the running game pick up We saw a pick up And we knew that was the beginning of the end for mark ingram with the ravens But this year just in the first game alone. So it's only been one game So one thing we got to watch for is tendencies. We can't base everything on one game We got to watch for tendencies so we got a hope that Ravens don't do this to where all right We got to share with everybody and we know past protection was a part of it And we know that the the handoff the with lamar and uh tyson was a part of it And we know the fumble out of bounds from tyson was a part of it But still as a runner like as a past protector, okay, but if you're gonna be doing running plays I would have had tyson still in there man I would have still had him in there and yes the uh his big run Obviously boosted up his numbers and and boosted up his stats and his average his yards per carry and all that But even if you take the big number the big run out for the touchdown It was he was still running better than latavius murray. And again with latavius murray We're not judging him based off of that one game. We're not judging his entire season based off of that one game But we're just judging that one game based off of that one game So tyson williams was the more effective runner in my eyes than a latavius murray So in my eyes, they should have stuck with tyson uh williams that much more.  And I was like, you know what? Because things are different right now Things are crazy for this video. That's why you see the background all the colors are changing and stuff It's going crazy and whatnot And then you see this thing that I would never usually weigh on my head for a video around the house I wear it all day, but for video But so I was like it's like we liking an alternate like universe or something because things are just crazy It's it's like it's a dream It's like it's a dream Because normally like recently we've been talking about a lot of bad news with the ravens, but now we on the flip side And we talking about something good So hopefully all this stuff continues to happen. Hopefully all this stuff continues to go down But we'll see when we see I love y'all team keeping clean. I appreciate y'all so much. Thank you for 45 000 subscribers We out

How are you doing today? I'm your host, Richard. We have a Rich TV Live with our very special guest. It is John Gluckman, the CEO of Sixth Wave Innovations. How are you doing today, John? Fantastic, nice to meet you and thank you for having me. Always a pleasure, very excited to have you on the show and we'll get started off with a few questions for you. Sixth Wave is a nanotechnology company that utilizes patented, molecular, imprinted polymers for imprinting, capturing and releasing substances at the molecular level. Can you tell us a little bit more about your company? Sure, I will. And for now on, we're gonna call it MIPS because otherwise I get time tied with it. Okay, great. Oh, just briefly, I'll give you the best explanation I can give for the late person on what a MIPS is.  Well, almost all molecules in the world have very similar properties. They have a unique size and they have a unique shape and they have other unique things like electrical forces or chemical forces. So they have binding sites and that kind of stuff. What we do is we actually design polymer so that when we make the polymer, it forms around our thumb and it takes advantage of then the unique size and shape of our thumb and we can build in properties to the polymer so that we can make that attractive force. Think of it like a magnet. We put a magnet in there and it wants to attract different molecules but only your thumb fits in. So we do that in polymer. We take a very aggressive approach of patenting those inventions. We try and patent that very widely and we've been issued patents and we have many more patent endings and new disclosures going on all the time and that helps not only protect it but build value in the company, lasting value in the company. Okay, great. Sixth Wave has the ability to disrupt several industries across the map. Can you tell us a little bit more about your technology and why it's primed for success? Sure. So Sixth Wave is sort of what we all consider the next or the existing wave of technologies in general. And so we're taking advantage of being able to do these molecular engineering things for industries that have antiquated systems. They're either less efficient or they're more expensive or they're not environmentally friendly. So we try and identify markets like that where we can provide a significant benefit to the customer, meaning we can make them more money and we figure if they're making a lot more money, we can make a lot of money too. And those are good markets for us. So we're in essentially two general sectors, but maybe three depending on how you wanna think about it. The first is our mining sector. We have a fully developed mining polymer where we've created a myth specifically for gold and silver mining and we're in the development of other ones for lithium and other mining applications. But in gold and silver, we've again imprinted for gold and silver ions and this provides a much more efficient pathway for a gold mining company to get their gold back into a solid ore. It's faster, less expensive, less capital expenditures, less carbon footprint and generally a cleaner, less byproducts and chemicals than their current processes. And it makes them an extra $150 per ounce of gold that they're mining. So a fantastic value to them a good recurring revenue model for us. So once we get a mine, they're likely to continue to use us for the life of mine which could be anywhere from 10 to 20 years plus depending on the different mine. The other main sector I like to think of it as one is sort of health and wellness and that includes what we're doing with the affinity systems for purification of cannabinoids right now and what we're doing in the virus detection. I'll talk about that in a minute. So cannabinoids is a very similar situation to the mining situation actually. So most cannabis companies, they start out, they get some green material, they do an extract they get this gooey horrible extract that's got fats and plant material and all sorts of stuff in it. And then they have to purify it to get to a distillate which is ultimately one of the large products that's sold, it goes into tinctures and butters and edibles and all of those things. Well, they use a fairly complicated process it could take winterization which is a 12 to 20 hour process and sequential distillation and heating and cooling and evaporation and vacuum pumps and then they get to a distillate. And during that process, they can lose quite a bit of the cannabinoids during that process and it's fairly expensive. Well, what we've done is we've created a myth that's imprinted for the cannabinoids. And so we've done away with having to do winterization we can do a simple filtration. We pass then the liquefied version of the cannabinoids through our molecular imprinted beads. They collect the cannabinoids only everything else is left into a waste stream or it can be cycled for recovery of other molecules if the licensed producer is interested in that. And then we simply remove the cannabinoids using ethanol and they get a high purity ethanol without any of that. There's no heating, there's no vacuum pumps there's no complexity there's no way to destroy the product during the process. And so we've reduced the amount of time we've reduced the electricity we've reduced the expertise required we give them more of the cannabinoids they started with back so they get a better yield and they're getting a higher purity distillate than they would using conventional processes. So what does that mean? It means they can make a lot more money. And again, it's a recurring revenue product for us. So as long as they're producing we're making money and even with that expense we're still saving them money and giving them a more marketable product. So really a fantastic boon for the industry and a real material shift in how licensed producers are gonna be able to make ends meet in some cases. And then of course, COVID came and what we had looked at viruses and other biological molecules like so you've got viruses and you've got other peptides and biomarkers in the blood we realized back some time ago that we could capture viruses viruses are really just very large molecules. And so we have now successfully developed a molecular imprint or a myth that captures the COVID-19 virus and so far it's captured all of the variants that we've been able to get access to. And so we're a very fast track to try and get to a first prototype product that we can start submitting for additional testing and outside testing in the next three or four months for COVID tests. And we're really, really excited about this not just because vaccines are gonna do away with testing because I don't think that's really gonna happen if it happens here in North America it's a long way off and a lot of the rest of the world but now that we've proven that we can do this we can adapt to all of the manufacturing processes that we've developed to date for that to just start imprinting for different viruses. So we could have a rapid test that would be a home test for influenza for next year that would differentiate between influenza and COVID.  So, you know, those are important we could do it for neurovirus on a continuing basis. We know that that's been an industry issue for the cruise industry, for example. So there are lots of pathways to go once we have this platform. We've had interest anywhere from military in the United States looking for us to detect viruses that might be present in blood samples so that they can do mobile transfusion testing for blood before collection can be done for things like HIV and things like that. So there's quite a bit of pathway forward even if COVID seems to recede at some point. So we're extremely interested in that. And of course, now that we've done that there are many, many more markets for us and it's all the same core technologies. So we're really a great technology company with lots of ways to monetize this. Fantastic, now I know you guys are gearing up for commercialization of your technology. Can you tell us why now is the perfect time to introduce your products to the market? Sure, so our most mature product in terms of marketing introduction and field testing and adoption really is our mining product, our XOS product. We've been working with a number of top 10 mining companies and they're moving through the pathways toward adoption with them. And we've already taken that product up to full scale manufacturing with one of our partners in the United States. So that's moving along well. Interestingly, that's a double-edged sword, right? So when gold prices are low, gold mines are looking to try and cut costs. So giving them more gold for what they're mining is always good and increases the bottom line directly. When gold prices are high, it gives them an opportunity to make and cap the investments. And so that's good for us also, but it also opens up a whole new set of mine or properties that may have been marginal at $11,000, $1,200 an ounce, but are now clearly in the money at $15 to $1,800 an ounce. And so we've seen an explosion of interest in our technology for mine reclamation and tailings reprocessing projects as well as new Greenfield projects that are accelerating. So this is a really good time in that sector. Of course, the cannabis sector is I think still well known as a growth sector. We've seen tremendous strides in the United States to open up the cannabis sector tremendously. I think that that's going to continue. Every signs are that the politics are moving to more national legalization in the United States. And so even with the recent states that legalized in November of last year, those states are going to start implementing their programs and offering licenses. And so they'll be new builds of LPs starting next year, which is right in line with where we're going to start having the release of our affinity product. So we're planning to get that out and be in the beginnings of revenue generation with that, hopefully before the end of this year and accelerating that tremendously through next year. We have a huge book of interest. We have new LPs contacting us every day and literally we see that accelerating. So we're real excited not just to have the partners we have now, but seeing some of the majors coming to us as well. That goes right into my next question. So Sixth Wave has already received a ton of inquiries about its affinity system from licensed cannabis producers which you touched on. Can you tell us a little bit about that and why the system is so appealing to cannabis companies across the globe? Yeah, so the current process is kind of cumbersome. If you follow historically, what people did was they adapted all these scientific equipment that was in the lab to figure out how to do cannabis processing as it really exploded into a commercial industry. And it's not simple and it's time consuming and it's a lot of batch processes that weren't really designed to do this. They were designed to do other things. Chromatography, for example, is used for separating cannabinoids. And my goodness, I mean, that's million dollar equipment and it's slow and it's expensive to replace the media. And you got to have a master's degree to operate the stuff properly sometimes. So this is an advancement that takes away that complexity. So if you think about the process, a licensed producer can lose between 20 or 40% of the cannabinoids going from that raw extract to a distillate because those processes weren't optimized for doing that extraction. We don't lose any. So that's a, you know, right there, that's a tremendous savings for them. If you're thinking about 40% on $1,000 a kilo kind of distillate, that's $400 additional into the pocket. So it's not hard once you start showing them that the system works this way. It's not hard to show them that, hey, you know, if you're chasing CBD to the commodity level and to the bottom, every penny you can save, every piece of increased output that you can get from your harvest means dollars almost to the bottom line because the margins are getting thinner and thinner. Not only can we do that, but we can do it faster and more efficiently. We can do it at less expense. So we're saving them on operating expenses as well. And so what's to lose? Love it. In the health and wellness, you know, I see things like hallucinogenics are showing increasingly more medical evidence for their use in treatment of PTSD, anti-depression and other things. I think micro dosing along with coordinated therapy and the use of these kinds of psychotropic medicines is going to increase. For us, it's just affinity with a different bead in terms of what the purification requirements for any of those biologically derived hallucinogenics are. So I see that as being a very popular growth market. Of course, we're seeing more IPOs in that and RTOs on the market and public companies focusing in on that. So that certainly is one that we're looking out at. And really, I think, you know, in the virus and other biological threat entities, you know, really we could, we have a whole company in terms of the different kinds of applications, the different viruses, the different form factors that a test might take. And so licensing opportunities around there, it certainly isn't something that I would suggest Sixth Wave is gonna be the best or most efficient in taking the market for all those things. But, you know, look, put it in the mask. You know, we all know that there are hundreds of millions of those being sold. So, you know, might as well team up with a mass manufacturer. Wow, sounds like you guys got your hands involved in so many things. Super exciting. Our shareholders will be watching this video from all over the world and they're gonna have questions for you. They're gonna be interested in learning more. What's the best way for them to get in contact with you, John? You know, we have on our websites info and sign up for our newsletters and ask questions directly there. They can reach out to the corporate offices. I suggest that they try and reach Mark McDonald's here first, not that he screens all my calls but my time is generally taken up trying to manage the technology and what we're doing. And so he helps make sure that things get on my schedule. And there are people like you which we hope will continue to find the story interesting and follow us and you can help point them in directions. We try and put a lot of stuff up on our websites and videos and how to's and, you know, simple explanations. So there are a lot of resources there not just for our customers but for investors to, you know, kind of get an understanding of what we can do and think about their own problems. I can tell you that it is not infrequent that a prospective investor or an investor sends us a letter and says, can you use this for this? And I've got some connections in this industry and a lot of our actually, a lot of our gold money leads come to us that way as well. So we encourage the interactions and look forward to it. Fantastic. Well, we here do interview a lot of mining companies and cannabis companies and COVID-19 related companies. So maybe we can make some introductions as well.

Hello, I'm Jack Durner, coming before you today with my pandemic hair to talk about multi-party generation of RSA Moduli. This is joint work with Megan Chen, Ron Cohen, Yashvanth Khande, Issa Lee, Shula Rosefield, and Abhi Shalat. And you can find our paper online as IACREPrintNumber2020-370. In this work, we introduce a new protocol for distributed RSA modulus sampling with malicious security against a dishonest majority in the UC model. RSA modulus is the first such protocol from only oblivious transfer and the factoring assumption to supporting an arbitrary number of parties, and so far as we know, the first to achieve cubic complexity or better in the length of the modulus. An RSA modulus, usually designated by the variable n, is the product of two large randomly chosen primes, which we call P and Q. We call such numbers bioprimes, and in this talk I will use the terms bioprime and RSA modulus interchangeably. This is one of the oldest public key assumptions we have that factoring such numbers is hard. And when used as the modulus, they form multiplicative groups wherein finding the group order is equivalent to factoring. This makes RSA Moduli useful for a huge range of applications. Of course they can be used to construct signature schemes and various kinds of encryption, but they're also useful for building advanced primitives, such as, for example, cryptographic accumulators, and time lock puzzles and verifiable delay functions. And recently, some kinds of highly efficient zero-knowledge argument systems. This list is far from exhaustive. Amazingly, although RSA is one of the seminal asymmetric cryptosystems, many of these applications are very recent. In fact, all of the ones I've highlighted here were published within the last two years. They all use RSA Moduli as part of their trusted setup. However, there's no way that we know of to sample a bioprime for which nobody knows the factors using only public randomness. So the remaining option is to distribute sampling along many parties using multi-party computation. This isn't merely a theoretical concern, by the way. The Ethereum Foundation has publicly announced an intention to migrate to RSA-based verifiable delay functions, which means that they need secure bioprime sampling in the real world, and they needed to be efficient for many parties. It's not surprising to find that the history of secure bioprime sampling mirrors the history of its applications. A great deal of initial interest, and a recent resurgence. Boney and Franklin wrote the seminal paper on the subject in 1997, and pretty much all of the subsequent works follow their basic layout, including ours. I'm going to skip most of the history which focused on semi-honest or honest majority constructions, and talk only about the most recent works, which are those of Hizay and Nicholson, Robin, Toft and Nicolosi, and Fredrickson, Lindel, O'Shitter and Pincus. I'd also like to point out that there is already a follow-up to our work, which uses some of the techniques we introduced, and achieves a really astonishing performance in the aggregator model. That paper is on ePrint now, and it will appear at S&P in 2021. After I talk about these prior works and the general shape of the problem, I'll introduce our protocol itself, and after that, I'll show you why it's efficient. Now, I claim that generating an RSA bioprime using a multi-party protocol is uniquely difficult relative to a multi-party key generation for other kinds of crypto systems, because we sample bioprimes by rejection. That is, we pick a k-bit number, where k is a security parameter, test whether it's prime, and throw it away if it's not. When we find two primes, p and q, we multiply them together to form a 2k-bit bioprime n. Primality is usually determined via the Miller-Robin test. I won't show it to you in detail, but the important thing to know is that it requires us to repeatedly take a random base a to sum secret power modulo p. Turning this into a multi-party protocol naively would require many secure modular exponentiations with large secret moduli, and this is very, very far from practical. Bonet and Franklin were the first to recognize this, and in the seminal paper on this topic, they devised a more efficient test in the semi-honest setting. Rather than testing the primality of two individual numbers, they devised a direct bioprimality test that only used the product of the two primes, which is to say the candidate bioprime n. For some statistical parameter number of iterations, they choose a random base a with Jacobi symbol 1 and take it to the power of n-p-q plus 1 modulo n. If this is equal to plus or minus 1 in all iterations, then the test passes. For technical reasons, they also require a GCD test, but we won't worry about this for now. The key here is that the modulus n is the public output of the protocol. This means that we can cut the factors p and q into integer shares, one share of each for every party, and then rewrite the test as the product of terms that the parties can compute locally. An integer sharing in this case is simply a set of randomly chosen positive integers that add up to the shared value. This style of sharing is important because it yields a natural method for reconstructing p and q modulo phi of n in the exponent, where phi of n is the order of the multiplicative group modulo n. If you know one or more integer shares of a value, then you know both upper and lower bounds on that value. In other words, integer shares leak some information. Bonet and Franklin provide a proof that this leakage doesn't grant an adversary any meaningful advantage in factoring the bioprimes that their protocol produces. Although the Bonet-Franklin test itself is efficient, the downside is that it requires us to guess two long prime numbers simultaneously in order to succeed, instead of just one, as in the case of individual primality testing. To increase the probability of success, Bonet and Franklin try to filter out some of the candidate p's and q's that are obviously not prime before running the test. Each candidate factor is divided by a sequence of small primes and rejected if it divides evenly. This is known as trial division. They show that if a k-bit candidate prime is sampled uniformly and it passes trial division by all primes up to some bound B, then it's prime with probability in omega of log of B over k. The probability that the bioprimality test succeeds is the square of that. And if you repeat the whole protocol until you successfully sample a bioprime, then the number of times that you have to repeat it is in expectation of k squared over log squared B. Now, as I said, I'm going to skip forward a bit. 15 years later, the HMRT protocol was the first to support an arbitrary number of parties and achieve malicious security against a dishonest majority. In order to do this, they use homomorphic encryption and take a GMW-like approach to achieving security. That is, each party proves that each operation on a cipher text was performed correctly. This is conceptually straightforward, but it leads to a somewhat complex security analysis. And because the HMRT protocol relies specifically on both PAE encryption and ELGAMAL encryption, we are forced to accept both the decisional composite resduosity and decisional Diffie-Hellman assumptions. Furthermore, proving statements about PAE and ELGAMAL cipher texts in zero knowledge is very expensive. Even without the zero knowledge proofs in semi-honest mode with two parties, they report taking no less than 15 minutes to sample a bioprime, mostly due to the computational cost of homomorphic encryption. On the other hand, the FLOP protocol focuses on the two-party case exclusively, and it's the first malicious secure protocol with concrete efficiency, which they demonstrated by implementing it. Instead of homomorphic encryption, it uses one of an oblivious transfer to implement trial division, and it uses one of two oblivious transfer to build a malicious Gilboa-style multiplier for multiplying P and Q together. Rather than taking the GMW-style approach of proving each step correct as it occurs, the authors instead introduce what they call a proof of honesty, a single proof that's run at the end only if the bioprimality test passes, which verifies a few key algebraic relationships among values used in the protocol. They do also evaluate a symmetric key relation, but this can somewhat easily be removed, so I won't count it against them. Regardless, this approach has both advantages and disadvantages. Trading OT as a black box allows flexibility with respect to which assumptions are required, and the FLOP protocol is concretely fast by comparison to the HMRT protocol. Fredericks and Adol report being able to sample a bioprime with malicious security in roughly two and a half minutes when using high-performance hardware. On the other hand, their OT-based trial division method leaks some bits of the candidate primes. This is selective leakage on the part of an adversary and not merely a natural byproduct of using integer shares. Furthermore, while their proof of honesty framework frees them from the costs of the GMW approach, they only run it when the bioprimality test succeeds, which means it's possible for a malicious adversary to force failures covertly. The adversary can combine this ability with the leakage I mentioned before to reject candidates selectively, and the only way to prevent the adversary from engaging in a denial of service attack is to run so many instances of the sampling procedure that a bioprime should be produced with overwhelming probability. Thus, a malicious adversary can slow their protocol down by a factor of up to the statistical security parameter. In the wake of these two works, then we have an open question. Can one build a protocol with support for an arbitrarily many parties and malicious security against a dishonest majority, which has flexible assumptions, doesn't require homomorphic encryption, doesn't use expensive zero knowledge over cryptographic statements, and gives the adversary no extra leakage or denial of service ability? In this work, we answer in the affirmative. We do require one specific assumption, which is the assumption that it's hard to factor bioprimes from our protocol's underlying sample distribution, but we view this as acceptable since it's precisely the assumption required to use the protocol's output, and without it, the whole exercise is pointless. Beyond these things, we also provide a modular security analysis, whereas previous works have proven their protocol somewhat monolithically. We hope this will make it easy to interchange primitives and potentially prove new security guarantees in the future. Finally, our protocol improves asymptotically on the FLOP protocol by a factor of the security parameter in terms of communication cost. We don't have an asymptotic analysis of the HMRT protocol's communication cost, so I don't wanna make a specific comparative complexity claim, but I will point out that we know HMRT to be much more expensive than FLOP concretely. So now we come to the protocol itself. For the sake of clarity and time, I'm going to explain a drastically simplified version. For the most part, I'll only talk about two parties, though hopefully you can imagine how everything can be generalized. I also won't always talk about how malicious security can be achieved, but I'll try to let you know where I make important omissions. Our protocol has a simple layout. First, it securely samples candidate factors P and Q, then it securely multiplies those factors to produce a candidate by prime, which it subjects to the Bonnet-Franklin by-primality test. And finally, it runs a retroactive consistency check to ensure no malicious behavior occurred during the previous phases. The first three parts of this layout are common among almost all by-prime sampling protocols. They come from Bonnet and Franklin. Our consistency check is new, but it can be thought of as somewhat analogous to the proof of honesty used by Fredrickson et al. I'll talk about the techniques we use to implement each step of this layout in turn, starting with sampling. Our sampling technique is based on the Chinese remainder theorem, so let's recall that quickly. If we have a vector of the first L unique primes, which we'll call a primorial vector, here represented by the letter M, and we have the product of those primes, which is the ELF primorial number, then the Chinese remainder theorem says that there is an isomorphism between the product of fields modulo, the individual primes, and the ring modulo, the corresponding primorial number. We'll talk about values in these spaces a lot, so I'm going to color code them to make it easier. Values in the product of the fields modulo, the individual primes will be magenta. We call this the CRT form. Values in the ring modulo, the primorial number will be teal, and we'll call this standard form. The Chinese remainder theorem also gives us another important fact. A set of values in CRT form, which we'll call X, mapped to a value in standard form, we'll call this value P, if and only if the jth element of X is congruent to P modulo the jth prime for all j. This means that if you select a CRT form vector X with no zero elements, then the corresponding standard form value P will not be divisible by any of the primes in the primorial vector. Thus, we sample probable primes without trial division. We call this constructive sampling. If we had only one party, our sampling algorithm would be simple. Choose a CRT form value randomly, test to make sure all of its elements are non-zero, then find the corresponding standard form value and interpret it as an integer, which is our candidate prime P. It turns out that if we want to distribute this algorithm, we can do so by instructing the parties to run the algorithm individually and locally to generate integer shares of the candidate prime P. And instead of performing local zero tests, we instruct them to jointly test the modular sums of their CRT form elements in each small prime field or non-zero. I'm going to gloss over how this works for the moment. We show that if they do this, then the integer sum of their shares of P will be indivisible by all of the primes in the primorial vector. And of course, they can repeat the process to sample Q. The integer shares here are important, by the way. We need them for compatibility with the Bonnet-Franklin test, which we're going to run later. Now, once the parties have shares of P and Q, they must multiply them together to form shares of a bi prime N. This is where all prior works have encountered a bottleneck in the form of multiplication protocols over length K inputs. Typically, OT-based multi-party multiplication protocols have at least quadratic computation and communication complexity in the bit length of their inputs. Homomorphic encryption-based multiplication protocols like the ones used by HMRT have better communication complexity, but worse computation complexity. For example, HMRT used PIA encryption, which requires modular exponentiation with a modulus of length proportionate to K. We take the OT-based approach, but we leverage the Chinese remainder theorem once again to improve our result relative to naive multiplication. Once again, consider the single-party case. We observe that if we take two CRT form values, X and U, defined with respect to the same primorial vector M of length L, then the product of their corresponding standard form values, P and Q, modulo the lth primorial number, corresponds to the element-wise modular product of X and U. Here, I'm using the circle dot to represent element-wise multiplication. This means that if we want the standard form product of P and Q, we can multiply the CRT form values X and U element by element, then evaluate the mapping instead of evaluating the mapping before multiplication. We can show that if a primorial number has K bits, then the length of the largest prime in the corresponding primorial vector is an O of log K, and also that L, the length of the primorial vector, is an O of K over log K. Consequently, if our fundamental multiplication complexity is quadratic, then we can multiply two K bit numbers in CRT form in complexity O of K log K, as opposed to O of K squared if we did it naively. The zero-testing operation, which I glossed over earlier, is done using this distributed CRT multiplication technique. But unfortunately, we can't immediately use the same technique to compute N from the candidate primes P and Q that I showed you how to sample a moment ago, because the technique computes the product modulo, the primorial number, whereas we need to compute the integer product. This is not, however, a dead end. Fortunately, we can show that there is a way to expand a CRT representation to new prime fields without changing its semantic value. This allows us to enlarge the standard form ring to the point that there is no wrapping when a modular multiplication is performed, which makes the result equivalent to an integer multiplication. Before we move on, I should mention that because this CRT extension operation is local, corrupt parties can do whatever they want. Also, because there's no authentication on the output shares of our element-wise multiplication, corrupt parties can lie about the shares that they got. I haven't taken pains to show you how we achieve malicious security, so it's important to know that even in the malicious version of our protocol, this sort of cheat is still possible, and we have to account for it later in our consistency check. I'm only going to talk briefly about the bi-primality test, since our protocol follows mostly from prior work. The interesting thing is that we prove it realizes a standalone functionality. Here I have a simplified version of it. It takes the candidate by prime N as a common input and integer shares of the candidate factors P and Q from each party, and an output success only if both N is a bi-prime and N is really the product of the input factors. The adversary can also force failures, but it can't force successes, which means that this functionality has no false positives. The functionality is clean and free of protocol artifacts such as authentication primitives, and it allows corrupt parties to use whatever shares they like. Notice, however, that if N really is a bi-prime, then there are only two possible pairs of factors P and Q that would make the functionality succeed. One follows from the honest protocol execution, and we show that finding the other is as hard as factoring N. This is an important and subtle case that is essential to our simulation argument. Finally, we come to the consistency check. So far, every part of the protocol that you've seen has been composed of simple non-cryptographic operations, and the only functionalities involved have been a multiplication functionality and a bi-primality testing functionality. Our retroactive consistency check ensures that the local operations are performed correctly and that the inputs to the functionalities have the right relationships. We show that there exists a simple algebraic predicate involving only the modulus N and the expanded CRT form shares of P and Q. Here again, I'm showing it to you in the two-party setting, which is sufficient to guarantee security against malicious behavior. If the bi-primality test passed, then N might be our output, so we evaluate this predicate securely. In the current version of the paper, we use generic MPC for a canonical instantiation, but it's conceivable that this can be improved with tailored protocols. This can be comparatively slow, but we only have to do it when we succeed. If the bi-primality test failed, then either N isn't a bi-prime or some party cheated. Regardless, there's no need for privacy, and so the parties open up their values to one another and verify the predicate locally, which is much faster. There are a lot of details that I'm sweeping under the rug here. For example, we have to enforce that the inputs to the multiplication functionality are opened or loaded into the generic MPC faithfully, but this is the essence of it. Of course, the paper gives a rigorous simulation-based proof, so for the details, I invite you to look there. Now, before I close, I want to talk a little bit about efficiency. I've been quantifying my complexity statements throughout this talk by saying that they hold if multiplication has a quadratic cost. In the malicious setting, we instantiate our multiplication functionality using an OT-based construction derived from multipliers introduced by recent works on secure ECDSA signing. As a basis, we use the silent OT extension scheme introduced last year by Boyle, Cato, Gilboa, Ishae, Cole, and Scholl, which has almost no overhead when amortized. But the multiplier construction itself requires a special encoding scheme, which means that it has communication cost in O of nx squared plus nsx per party for n parties and x-bit inputs, where s is the statistical parameter. This leads to an overall communication complexity in O of nsk for sampling and modulus construction. As an aside, if we use the OT extension protocol of Keller, Orsini, and Scholl instead of silent OT extension, then this cost goes up by a factor of s over log k, which is concretely something like four to eight. Our bioprimerality test has different costs depending on whether it reports a failure or a success. In failed instances, it also costs an O of nsk in terms of communication. But in successful instances where it determines that n is a bioprime, it costs in this term, which you don't need to worry about because it will be subsumed by something else later. Our consistency check also has different costs depending on whether or not n is thought to be a bioprime. If n is thought to be a bioprime, then we use generic NPC to evaluate the predicate securely. If we instantiate this with the authenticated garbling protocol of Wang, Rana Lu, Xi, and Katz, then it has communication complexity in O of n squared sk squared over log of nk. If n is thought not to be a bioprime, then we reveal everything and evaluate the predicate locally. And the reveal operation costs O of nsk overall. If we repeat the whole protocol until a success occurs, we need O of k squared over log squared of k repetitions and expectation, which follows from Bonet and Franklin's theorem. All but one of these repetitions will be failures. So we pay the smaller cost for both the bioprimality test and the consistency check. And only in the last repetition do we pay the larger costs. Putting everything together finally gives us an overall expected communication complexity per party for sampling a bioprime, which you can see here. Now, I know my protocol descriptions and security arguments have been rather loose, but this is exactly the cost of the real protocol as presented in the paper. There are a few more lemmas that I won't show you, which allow us to conclude that this is strictly less than O of nsk cubed over log of nk. To conclude, I hope that this talk has convinced you that distributive bioprime sampling is a challenge. I've shown you how the Chinese remainder theorem can be used to optimize the sampling of candidate primes and how it can be used to optimize multiplying those candidates together. And I've shown you how an algebraic predicate can be used to tie everything together without homomorphic encryption or proofs over cryptographic statements. In the paper, of course, everything is presented in much more rigor and there are a few additional results. We show how to achieve a constant round count and we give a concrete cost analysis. We also present a semi-honest variant of the protocol with perfect security in the same hybrid model as the main protocol and we give a modular security analysis of the main protocol with some informal discussion of how various modules can be substituted to achieve stronger security guarantees such as adaptive security or identifiable abort. That's all for today though. Thank you for listening.


Bites on the Shale East is a bottle-later Robert Spellman bomb. Just in case for some reason. It's not as loud as it is. Okay, it's in your backpack. We just got from the stock store. Me and East, you were sorry. I wanted to say my colleague in the good of all of you. What do you think?


Even today there's any amount of talk about how a native American shaman becomes an eagle. Here, dark-eyed scientists evolve other kinds of method. They pick other forms and make the forms work in a certain way. Dark-eyed scientists have many aspects to it. Telvanavida is all about this. Native American cultures, they believe the animal spirits play a role in human life. What is your understanding of the nature of the relationship between human energy and animal energy? See, in certain occult sciences there are certain things that one can do. But those things are seen as totally unnecessary in the spiritual realm, in the yogic realm. These are seen as totally unnecessary in a backward step. In terms of occult, these things are done.  And these are very powerful processes but these things were meaningful or useful before modern technology came because you could do certain things. There is a whole tradition of shamanism where it is... Even today there's any amount of talk about how a native American shaman becomes an eagle, becomes a fly, becomes a wolf, transforms himself into some other form and gets there and all this. So these are not just stories, it is very much a possibility that one can transform his form if he wishes to. So, about people taking on the forms that they wish according to the convenience is not a new thing or it's not an unheard of thing almost in every part of the world it is there. Particularly it is being publicized in a big way about the North American and South American shaman's these days about shaman's becoming eagle and becoming wolf is these two forms are very common for them. That was not unheard of here but it was looked down upon in this culture. There it is being looked up to because this is not spirituality this is occult. Here our occult scientists, I call them scientists because they are that kind. They don't bother to convert themselves into a bird or an animal because the risk because when you take on the form of something else this body has to be preserved and it can always be misused. So there have been incidents where somebody left his body here in some safety and let's say he became an eagle and flew for some time but when the eagle came back the body is gone. Now what do they, what does the eagle do?   Being an eagle is not a big thing. Though he flies high he's only looking down all the time. He's better to sit here and look up rather than go up and look down really. So the occult scientists evolved other kinds of methods that is they themselves do not take on other forms. They pick other forms and make the forms work in a certain way. They will take a certain animal. Usually one thing that is heavily used is a chicken or you think that's a waster. You know the chicken has to be young and vibrant chicken, uncooked. So release the chicken's life and use that life form to do certain things for you. Rather than you taking on the chicken's body, you make the chicken do things controlled by a remote controlled chicken alright?   You left your body and went. You went out as a chicken and tried to do something and you've become somebody's tandoori. So they evolved better more sophisticated methods to deal with the same things. So yes, the occult scientists have many aspects to it. One Veda is dedicated towards this. I tell you one Veda is all about this. If we want to practice certain things we could but we don't allow such things here because what's the point? All that will happen is you will get into more serious levels of ignorance. If you could change two bodies, this and that, you will get more entangled in the process of life than you are right now. It's the sheer power of it destroys you in so many ways. Occult was a very useful process when there was no modern technology. They used it as an access to the physical world in certain ways but it involves so much of struggle to get there. But today occult is not so meaningful anymore because almost everything that occult could do and more modern technology is doing. You just have to send out a drone or turn on your television or just your phone screen will tell you everything that you want to know. So you want to know where the rain clouds are so you had to do something. Now it's not necessary just the Veda channel. I'm saying it's unnecessary effort. So it's better to focus on you evolving beyond your animal nature rather than developing a relationship with animal nature. How to get rid of the animal within you, that's my work. Not how to connect you with animals. The corpses walk in the tantric rituals. When somebody dies or when somebody is certified dead by your doctor, he's not completely dead. Up to five to seven minutes it's behaving as if it's alive and then falls dead. Exhaust itself. So it's based on this that when somebody dies there are rituals in India. Up to fourteen days there are various kinds of rituals.
