Hey, welcome back to the channel. So we're getting close to the end of the year, 2021. It's December 27th as I filmed this and it's been the best year by far for both my business and just overall life. And so I want to close this out. I like to do reflecting at the end of the year and figure out what went wrong and what didn't. And I want to share with you the five biggest lessons I learned in 2021. And I'm looking at my phone here. I have it written down so I don't forget. I'm gonna keep this pretty informal and I'm just gonna walk through these lessons one by one with you so you can take this and use it for building a better, a bigger and better 2022. So we'll jump into that in a second. Make sure that if you're enjoying the content you hit the like and subscribe button, helps me out and also helps to show it to other people who can benefit from this as well. And so let's jump into the first lesson here that I learned in 2021. And that is those who build communities are gonna win in the long run. So people really underestimate the amount of time it takes other people to make a decision, especially a buying decision where there's money exchanging hands involved. Now, when you have a community you're able to build a bond with your audience every day. And I'll talk about a few different ways that I do that in one of these other lessons here, but you're able to build a bond with your audience every day and move them closer and closer and closer to a decision. And if you're running a business, a buying decision with you every day. You're also able to directly listen to people's problems and their pain points and look at what they're struggling with so that you can create the best offers and solutions that solve those problems. Now, if you don't have a community you're starting from pretty much scratch every day because you're reaching out to strangers, people who are cold and don't know you, which can definitely work. You can close clients and customers that way, but it's a lot harder than if you have a community or an audience built up. So one of the best examples I can think of around this, a company who has done really well in the community building aspect is ClickFunnels.  Now, ClickFunnels is just a software. It's a landing page software and a funnel building software. You can build these multiple page websites where you're selling products and services or anything online that you wanna sell. And there are dozens of competitors out there who sell the same thing at a cheaper price and also probably do it better than ClickFunnels does where they have less bugs and they move a lot quicker. The software is a lot faster but because of the community that ClickFunnels has built up they're, I'm not really sure exactly where they're at now but they're $150 million plus company, I'm pretty sure. And a multiple billion dollar valuation. So Russell Brunson, I don't remember exactly when he started the group but they have a Facebook group with hundreds of thousands of people in there and they built a community around funnel building, right? Becoming funnel builders. And because they have this community there's people who will buy from nobody else but ClickFunnels and whenever they launch new offers like new books and courses and different products they have this community to tap into where they can get sales right away because there's people and audiences of people who trust ClickFunnels because of this community they built. So that's lesson number one is I really think those who build communities are gonna win in the long run because like ClickFunnels if you are building an audience and a community around your business and around your company whether you are a business with a big team or if you're an individual or a personal brand I think building a community is gonna set you up nicely in the long run because you get to bond with your audience and bond with your community over time and move them closer and closer to making a decision with you. The second lesson I learned is an amazing offer beats amazing sales and marketing every time. A lot of online business owners and just business owners in general and entrepreneurs think when they're not getting enough customers and clients that there is something wrong with their sales and marketing. And a lot of times it's because of their offer, right? It's because of what they're offering to the market. And an offer is not the same as a product or service. So an example, I went out this year, I do emails and I write emails for other businesses as a service but I changed my offer up this year. And now what I do is I work on 100% performance basis and I only get paid off of the sales that I generate through my campaigns. So I don't charge any upfront fee, I don't charge a monthly recurring fee for my service, 2K, 3K, 5K per month. I charge a percent of whatever I bring in, whatever sales I bring in. Typically that's between 25 and 30% but I only get paid on my performance, right? The results that I bring. So that's a much better offer, right? Me going to other businesses and saying, hey, don't pay me anything, you only pay me based off of what I get you and we share in the upside. That's a much better offer than, hey, pay me five grand a month and maybe I'll get your results, right? Now what that's meant for my business is I don't really need to do any hard selling or convincing or jumping on all these phone calls anymore because my offer is so good. So I can just go and send a one to two sentence cold email to people and get people lining up interested wanting to learn more about my service because the offer is so good. The other thing is I've talked to hundreds of people at this point for this new offer that I started in 2021 and I haven't once been asked for case studies or testimonials or proof or anything because the offer again is so good. So if I were to tell somebody to pay me five grand a month and I might get them results, they're gonna ask for my references. They're gonna ask to see all my case studies and my testimonials because there's no trust there. But if I'm asking them to just pay me based on the upside and the results I generate, there's no reason for them to ask that because the offer itself is so good. There's no risk to them. It doesn't take them any time or any extra effort. I'm going in and doing the work and they're getting a piece of the pie of whatever I generate for them. So that's lesson number two. An amazing offer beats amazing sales and marketing every time.  So this year alone I've invested probably around $42,000 or so in coaching and courses and mentorship and joining these other communities of other entrepreneurs and people who are doing cool things in their life and their business. And I do this pretty much every year or at least for the last three years or so and it always pays off. So this year specifically I invested over $20,000 with one of my mentors Travis Sego and I have no doubt over the next few years over the life of my career it's gonna result in millions of dollars for my business and my income. So there's very few areas where you can invest 20K or 30K and get 100X returns on that over the life of your career. I've learned skills from mentoring under Travis that I'm gonna be using for the next 20, 30 years for the rest of my career. I also look around for communities and people who are doing cool things in their life and their business people that I wanna connect with and I buy access to those communities so that I can network with these people and potentially partner up with them in the future. And have a number of partnerships that have opened up this year where it's gonna result in six figures or more in deals down the line for the next few years that started from these communities that I'm joining. So while I do like these investments like crypto and stocks and real estate and all these other things I think investing in your skill set and investing in the right network and having the right people in your surroundings is gonna be the best ROI investment that you ever make. So that's lesson number three. Now lesson number four is to look at and treat your online business like a garden. So what I mean by that is every day I'm doing these three things here. Number one is I'm planting new seeds. So I'm adding new people to my audience every day. Number two is I'm watering those seeds and you can think of this like content, right? Like I mentioned in the first lesson I'm trying to move people closer and closer to a buying decision with me and bonding with my audience and my community. That's what content does. So I'm watering those seeds. Number three is I'm harvesting these money trees when they're ready to be harvested, right? Once for bearing fruit. And so these three things I'm doing every day I'm planting new seeds or building my audience. I'm watering those seeds using content and I'm harvesting those seeds, which is basically sales, right? When it's ready to be harvested. And nowadays because I do these three things every day I have something to harvest every day because I've been doing it for a year and a half, two years now, but it wasn't always like this. When I first started out I was trying to just go straight for the harvest, right? Go straight for the sale without planting new seeds growing my audience and creating content to move people closer and closer to me. And so if you're struggling to get customers and clients and struggling to get sales think about your online business like a garden, right? Are you planting new seeds every day? Are you watering those seeds? And are you only harvesting once those seeds are ready to be harvested? Once those trees, those money trees are ready to be harvested. I've been focusing on these three things for the last two years or so and that's when my business really started to take off. When I started doing these three things daily. So that's lesson number four is your online business is just like a garden and make sure you're doing those three things every day, right? Planting, watering and harvesting. And lesson number five is it's all about leverage. You should always be looking for more leverage in your business. Now, my simple definition for leverage is getting the most out for everything that you put in, right? Getting the most amount of output for every ounce of input that you put in. A few examples of this. Number one is my digital products, right? I can take my intellectual property and the knowledge that I built up in the expertise I built up over time and turn that into digital products that I can create once and sell over and over and over again. Another example is this new service offering that I rolled out this year on a performance basis. So I get paid based off of the results I generate. I work with these higher ticket information and course businesses. And I can write a single email and get a client that's paying $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 a month and get a percentage of that on an ongoing basis. So a tiny amount of work for ongoing pay and ongoing income from that. Another example is content, right? So I can create a piece of content on email, on Twitter, on YouTube, in my Facebook group and I can just repurpose it across all those channels and use it to grow my audience and get sales from that. Another example is just selling to my existing customers. So I have thousands of customers at this point who have bought one or multiple of my offers. And one of the easiest sales I can make is just go into that customer list and selling them a product or a service that helps them with that next challenge they have. And because these are existing customers, there's very little hard selling I have to do because there's already that trust built up from buying my other products and just from watching and viewing my content. So these are all examples of these high leverage areas in my business where I can put in a tiny amount of work and get a lot of upside for that. So to find these areas in your business, just ask yourself, where can I put in a tiny amount of effort that will give me a massive payoff, a massive upside going forward. And that's gonna help you find these areas of leverage in your business. So those are the five lessons, my biggest lessons of 2021 to review those again. Number one is those who build communities will win in the long run. Number two is an amazing offer beats amazing sales and marketing every time.  Lesson number four is your online business is just like a garden and you should be doing those three things that I talked about every day, right? Planting, watering and harvesting. And number five is it's all about leverage getting the most out for every ounce of work that you put in. So I hope you found that useful. If you did give it a like and also let me know in the comments which one of these five lessons was the most valuable to you or the most surprising. I like I mentioned 2021 best year yet personally, but I think 2022 is gonna be even better. So thank you so much for sticking around so far the last two years I've been creating content. So whether you are subscribed here, my YouTube channel or you're following me on Twitter or my Facebook group or my email list I appreciate you following along.

So that is it for me. I'm looking forward to 2022 and I'll see you in the next one. Take it easy.


Hi, I'm David Cantor with the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor. Today I'm going to talk about shoplifting or organized retail theft. Now under Arizona revised statute 13-1805 shoplifting occurs when a person enters a shop and knowingly obtains goods with the intent to deprive or not pay for those goods. Now organized retail theft is on a much bigger scale and it's a much bigger scheme than shoplifting, but many times they overcharge shoplifting as organized retail theft. Now the punishment, if there is no prior convictions and it's under $1,000 it's a misdemeanor. That's probation up to six months in jail, a $2,500 fine with an 84% surcharge on top. If the theft is of one to $2,000 that was shoplifted, then it's a class 6 felony with probation up to two years in prison. If it's 2,000 or more, it's probation with up to two and a half years in prison. Now if a specialized container was used to conceal the items, then and only then or if you have two prior shoplifting convictions or burglary or robbery, they can charge you with a class 4 and that's the most serious of these felonies. That is probation up to 3.75 years in prison. Now probation means the judge can say, I'm going to put you on probation and give you certain conditions, remain law abiding, report to your probation officer, don't use drugs. But the judge can also say, I'm going to give you jail as a condition or probation, anywhere from zero days in jail up to a year in jail. So it's important you have a defense attorney who knows what they're doing so you don't get any jail. Possible defenses are lack of intent. That means I'm walking out of the store, my hands were full, I'm checking out and I forgot I was holding one of the items. Obviously we look to see whether you paid for other items before you left. Lack of knowledge. This occurs when, oh wow this is a really good deal and somebody else switched out the price tag and someone else was going to go up to the register but they got scared and left the store and here you are looking at a brand new TV for $49 and you didn't realize it. Sometimes you'll see where people switch items inside of a box. So you're walking out with a box that's supposed to hold one type of low price TV but instead it's got the highest plasma screen in there and somebody else switched it without your knowledge. Common defenses are Miranda Wright's violations, coerced statements by the police, denial of right to counsel if you ask for a lawyer and they wouldn't give you one. We will use video analysis. Almost every store has videotape and we'll check all of the videos to show whether you in fact were somebody was just rushing along or whether it was something else. Now sloppy police reports that's one of the biggest defenses we use. We see it all the time. So if you or a loved one was charged with shoplifting or organized retail theft, give us a call set a free initial 30-minute consultation in our office. It doesn't cost you anything. Come on in and meet with us. We have multiple certified criminal law specialists and we'd love to help you out on this so I look forward to hearing from you soon.

So yeah, you can get the medicine Preston checkpoint officer nabs mastermind Yes, at least I got the headline for doing something good Imagine being on the front page of the newspaper for both a great reason and a horrible reason on the same day All right, folks I think with that bombshell I'll end it there if you want to see more papers, please do let me know what a fun game It's been so long since I played this but it's really really fun for some odd reason Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed and if you're new subscribe I hope to see you tomorrow. Bye for now


Hi, everyone. I'm Takahiro Seigawa from the University of Yamanashi, Japan. I'd like to briefly explain about our recently published paper entitled Redox Stratification Within Glyconite Granules Influences a Nitrogen Cycle on Gracious Glyconite granules are naturally occurring microbial structures in the racial ecosystems. They play a key role in carbon and nitrogen cycling in racial ecosystems. However, their detailed mechanisms remain clear. In this study, we used various approaches to clarify the nitrogen cycling mechanisms in glyconite granules. Based on microscopy, a layer of cyanobacteria was observed near the surface of the large glyconites. However, such a layer was not found in small glyconites. Micro-sensor measurements for oxygen, ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite reveal the presence of redox stratification within large glyconites. Based on the metatranscriptome analysis, we found the active occurrences of nitrification in the inner core of glyconites. Quantities of nitrification genes and transcripts were greater in large glyconites than small ones, probably because nitrogen substrates were more abundantly present in the inner core of large glyconites. In summary, our study revealed sites dependent occurrences of nitrogen cycling in glyconite granules. In small glyconites, nitrogen is mostly assimilated by cyanobacteria. In large glyconites, cyanobacteria in the surface layer fix carbon and assimilate nitrogen. Cyanobacteria in the inner core of glyconites are inactive and being degraded, providing nitrogen and carbon substrates for nitrification and denitrification. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much.


So yesterday, I have a Charlie Idaho by the name of Rattlesnake, right? He burned two locations for us yesterday, and he said there's more. Watch over the area to confirm the information is going on, Dakota. He caught and took photos of multiple masked invaders chopping vehicles, or being broken down in a scrap yard off-road, 68, and Joshua Road. That's the border of Little Texas. Avola was showed some ET device by Sheisty. Avola tried running it on a cop car with him. Don't worry, brother. I'm there for you. The device may be off and has to be turned on in an unknown way, or it was turned on with certain users on it. So now, after this sewer mission, we have to try to find a way to get the video of them leaving from Vinewood, going up there and chopping it. So we could get the device marked for seizure.  Was it Vazquez?  What now? Right here. What if they're Vagos or? No, no, he wasn't Vagos. I said Vazquez and you thought I said Vagos.  Well, no. What's going on with these?  Okay, we met four Vagos yesterday, man.  Oh, by the way, make sure you have a bunch of high facts for this mission down there, Nassauers. Damn, I got eight of them on me. You think I need more than that? No, I got 30.  We're going down there with doctors. So, I mean... Oh, we are? Okay. I was going to say they might be risky. I don't know if we want to risk putting them in harm's way.  If they're going down there, they know the risks. I'm looking at these photos. Do you know who these people are? Nope. Don't know who they are. So, I'm waiting for the captain and Brian to arrive, and I'm also trying to get ahead of a hold of a crowbar because my contact went to sleep. Oh, Lord. Okay. All right, I got one, but it's going to... It's 6K. Tell him no. Who is it? We can just pull in. We can just... All we have to do is pull in. That's it. Who is it? Who is it? St. Clair. Mickey St. Clair is trying to sell us a crowbar for $6,000. No, he's not selling it. He's just letting us borrow it. He letting us rent a crowbar for $6,000. At $6,000, a crowbar is better than no crowbar at this point. Yeah, he'll... With no crowbar, we're not going anywhere. If I have to throw money on it, it's fine. I'll throw it on my own pocket. Yeah, I got a call from Tim here. Hey, Tim.  We was going to be good to go, but then whoever tweeted that out shut the whole thing down.  Yeah, and last week we could find a crowbar somewhere. I'm out of options, I think. Dude, I don't have the heart to tell her because she's the one who tweeted about it.  Oh, dude. Tim was telling me... He was talking to a fella who was good to go, but apparently somebody was tweeting about a crowbar, wanting a crowbar, and the fella wasn't interested no more. Wait, ma'am, was that you? Yes, I thought it out. Oh, lord, ma'am. I'm stressed eating right now. Which police tweeted out about a crowbar? It was me.  I was getting us in. Oh, so much. That's fine. But I had to somehow... I had zero calls. No one called me. All right, Chad, you ready for it? Because these don't look at me. He does. Okay. I thought we were at a level of friendship where, you know, I could take a look, but I just loved. Okay.  I won't say anything. I won't say nothing. Okay. I'm just saying, just don't damn stare. Nothing to be oral boys here, man. Don't, don't, don't be scared, okay?  Hey, what do you think of mine?  Okay, nice. Hey, you like that? I like it. Yeah, pretty damn good, huh? Wow, wow. Okay, god damn. You really are fitting into there. Yeah, thank you. Okay, Chad. So here's what's happening is we are going to the sewers now.


I'm heading up to Blackpool in about half an hour. I'm heading up to Blackpool to own support one of my friends. One of my friends is currently in a hospital.  The reason I'm vlogging is because I want to show the importance that visiting people and sharing support people can have on people.  The importance of having someone in their life that supports you is so important and that is the aim of this video. So that's mine, let's go finish getting ready and then head to the train station. Ew. The image looks terrible. Oh my god. I might have to turn this later. Yeah I'm just going to visit my friend. Hey guys so I'm in my accommodation for the night and I'm gonna end this video very soon. I wanted to quickly make a little clip to talk about the importance of having people who support you around you and today I went to visit one of my friends who's been in hospital for about five months now and it was emotional. It was emotional but it reminded me of the importance to be there for people and how much these people have helped me like having people that support them and that care around me is one of the most important things I can tell you to do. So my baby camera died. That's how we're using the big camera.  I've had so many people in my life this year that have let me down and that have been horrible to me and pushed me and made me feel like crap and I've also visited this friend in hospital. This is the second time I've been to visit her this year. She's been in the same admission five months. I met her in my first admission this year. I'm here to support her. I always will be. The thing is I'm very supportive and caring for her so I care a lot about people. The reason I'm making this video is to just talk about the importance of being that I have people. I have no idea how much it's gonna improve the day and honestly I don't think I can sit here and explain to you how much having one person come and visit me made all the difference. During my last admission one of my friends came to visit me and it made things so much better. It just helps enormously knowing the people around you care because when you're in that position not all the time but I know for this friend and to me we went in because we tried to end our lives because we fell with this we thought I don't want to get out and I think it's so important to show you that you care because you have no idea how much you could help that day. That's the important message of this. I was gonna make a whole big video but I need to be more real with you guys with this one. I can't make a big fancy video for this. It really does make a difference having people that have people. I know for me having the people I've got around me now is so helpful like Serenity for instance and you guys it makes my day so much more bearable than it was a few months ago. I felt so alone and I felt like I had no one because my mom wasn't involved in my life. I had no one to turn to because I didn't want to upset my friends. I didn't want to upset those people around me. Having how changed my mindset a bit and knowing the importance of it is so so important and if there is someone in your life that you feel needs just a hug or a hello or just a message, send it. You have no idea how much it will help them. Even just saying hi to someone can help enormously and here's something you feel like. I was talking to some of the staff members today on the way out and I was like I don't know how I was supposed to feel. I was like I feel horrible because I'm out of hospital and this person went into hospital and we're using the same mission in the first admission this year and I don't know it made me feel, I feel really emotional. Maybe it's because I'm just a caring person. Maybe it's because I want the best for her but I do want the best for her. I think it's just because I'm overly caring and the thing is I met her in hospital. I haven't known her that long but I do care a lot about people and as the reason I do these videos I make videos to help people and make them to make people feel less alone.  I think that's so important and I know it's like coming from me, I'm the worst person to answer messages but it can really help, it can make a difference. I'm not saying it's gonna change everything but it can really help. It would be amazed like getting a message saying hi would have helped me so much earlier this year. I didn't have it around me and now the fact that I get to do that for a lot of people it does make me happy and I am gonna stop talking because I don't really have much more to say and I feel like I'm rambling. I also can't talk very long because I'm in someone else's house and I feel awkward filming video so yeah. I may feel a little bit later on also I don't know. Probably just more and more than I do my makeup. What's left of my makeup? I don't know. Anyway I'm gonna end this video and keep watching if you're new here I want to know a bit about this experience and how I met this person and all of that. It's in my book. My book it's got my life story in so far. Some of it, not all of it. There'll be any edition out. This is like the last couple of weeks where you can get the first edition of the book and obviously it's like my first book so it's like my child so like it would mean a lot if you go by it but I don't mind if you can't. It's also available on Kindle. The link is in the description down below. Also to anyone who's dyslexic roaming and can't read very well I would highly recommend these. Like they're called realers. They really help because like you can line it over certain bits of text and it makes it easier to read just like that. If you're new here hit the subscribe button and I'll see you guys very soon with a new video. Thank you again to Airbnb for sponsoring this video. I'll move on with Airbnb. Anyway, I need to go. I'm tired. I'm tired and I'm hungry. Not in combination. Bye guys.


Item ██, SCP-573 Object Class, Euclid Special Containment Procedures ██, none needed. Object is stored in Dr ████'s desk. Object is to be locked and won to Site-62, Secure Lockers. SCP-573 requires the agreement of two members of senior staff in order to be removed from containment. No one is allowed to make use of SCP-573 without at least two backup researchers. Testing of SCP-573 around children is hereby denied without O5 approval. Description SCP-573 is a flute made from bone. DNA and carbon testing reveal the material to be human, female, and approximately a thousand years old. The bone is a femur, and from the size comes from a child between the ages of 7 and 12. SCP-573 was discovered in ██, Louisiana by agents investigating the disappearance of local children. Agents arriving on the scene were attacked by a pack of wild animals, several different species working together. Once the animals were put down, the agents were then attacked by several of the missing children, being urged on by one derailed king, the then owner of SCP-573. Agent ██ shot Mr. King, ending his hold over the children and preventing a major incident. Testing of SCP-573 has revealed that, when played, it places animals and previous missing children into a highly receptive state. All creatures so affected are eager and willing to do whatever the player requests, including things that are beyond them when in a non-trans state. Once the instrument is played, subjects remain in the trans state for five times the period the flute was played for, e.g. Play the flute for a minute, the trans remains for five minutes. Knowledge of how to play a flute is not needed to effectively use SCP-573. Anyone attempting to use SCP-573 will find themselves able to play the flute as if they have been playing for years and can play any song they desire. Addendum As of ██, SCP-573 is not to be used on human subjects. As revealed in Diary 573, SCP-573 provokes feelings of revulsion and paranoia in the user, specifically oriented towards prepubescence. These feelings increase gradually but steadily until the wielder finds himself acting out violently and maliciously towards any prepubescence under his influence. Human testing with SCP-573 is thus suspended indefinitely. Personal Diary of Dr. Julius ██ Diary Entry 5731 In my research with the Foundation, I have found that the official log is rarely the place to input personal observations. Therefore, I am logging this diary in an attempt to keep my own ideas rarely available to myself. SCP-573 is a flute capable of rolling and entrancing animals and children. While entranced, subjects will do anything the flute player requested of them without limit. So far, testing has been done solely on animals without any negative consequences. Senior staff has given me approval to move the testing up to children. I will be testing six children, all aged 8 years old, three boys, three girls. One of each will be tested in mental and physical assignments, with the final two children acting as a baseline study being put into a trance without any outside stimulus. Current Test Subjects Cindy Female Physical Tom Male Physical Mariah Female Mental Stewart Male Mental Rolana Female Base Sam Male Base Diary Entry 573-2 Sit with the children today, everything went well. The kids are well kids, alternately monsters and angels as they wish. Seeing as SCP-573 is capable of keeping the children in line, I have been informed that I will have no assistance with these tests, and that even the children's nominal hair-takers will be leaving for other duties while they are in my care. Due to this unfortunate circumstance, I will be handling the children as one group, instead of in separate chambers as I had hoped. The children were rowdy when first dropped off, but I had them sit in their chairs and proceed to play SCP-573 for 10 minutes. At the first notes, the children immediately relaxed, all tension leaving their bodies. I instructed Tom and Cindy through a series of basic maneuvers which they accomplished with ease. I then led Stewart and Mariah through some basic math and recitals, which they picked up with ease. This should be my easiest project yet. Diary entry 573-5 The testing continues apace. Today I had the physical children dress in workout clothes and sent them through some tumbling. A close examination of the children proves their physical attractiveness has increased drastically under the influence of SCP-573. Diary entry 573-7 I couldn't help myself today, watching these children, knowing that they would remember nothing from their time entranced, having such control, watching them tease me. They're always teasing, teasing, teasing, winking at me, rubbing against me, saying things, such things these children say. I had to show them how much pleasure they gave me, such lovely little bodies, such lovely children. They enjoyed watching me, I could tell by the smiles. Diary entry 573-9 Those little brats, they've been faking not remembering, I know it. When I came into the room today, they were all talking to each other. Cindy was holding her fingers 2 inches apart and laughing about it. I overheard Tom say that even his was bigger than that. But they paid for it, oh yes, none of those monsters can lay claim to being pure anymore, acted like they didn't know what had happened. But they knew. I could tell that they were sorry for making fun of me, but they deserved everything they got. Diary entry 573-13 It doesn't matter what I do to them, they keep teasing me, keep talking about me.  They think they can talk about a learned doctor behind his back without him knowing. Oh, these children are in for it, and not just the little things I've been doing. No more burns and cuts. Oh no, these children will pay for their insolence. Note, on ██████, security responded to an alarm called in by one Dolores Trey, a Site-63 caregiver. Upon arriving at Room 301, security discovered Dr. ██████, cavorting amidst the remains of his young charges, covered in their blood, laughing and claiming that he'd shown those little brats. Such instability being previously undocumented in Dr. ██████, we are forced to assume such feelings came from SCP-573, a fact corroborated by the remains found at the SCP's discovery. As of now, further human testing on SCP-573 is denied. 056


Hey guys, Ken Ross here, and I'm a business consultant that specializes in reducing costs for businesses By looking at their essential expenses and today I have yet another thought for you Are you a business owner or are you self-employed? This is a debate not just for tax reasons, right? And I know tax season's here and if you haven't filed your business taxes You might be in a little bit of a spot here with your CPA, but let me give you a quick tip about What this really means for me right as a business owner? You are responsible for operating the business, but you've delegated a lot of your operational Aspects a lot of the things to your business to other people. That's what a business owner does He's like an orchestrator. He's like a conductor in an orchestra of sorts He tells the instruments what to do and and how to do them. He measures things he Makes things make sure that things are going in the direction that they want to be in a good business owner knows their strengths what they're good at and What they're not so good at and they they they strategize for those things they they Find the right people to help make those things better, right? And they're constantly looking to optimize and make things more efficient because that's their responsibility for the business business owner also Would in some in some respects not have to sleep Stay up late at night thinking about all the things operationally that they don't have done right a small business or a self-employed person who's operating a small business is A one-man show as a person who's trying to do everything who really sees their business as something that is just so Life-consuming right it is everything that they think about it's everything that they're about They are the secretary. They're the accountant. There's the they're the the guy who bakes the bread if they're a baker, right? It's So much more involved if you're self-employed and and what I'm really really challenged people to think about is that Statistically there are obviously a lot of people that are self-employed and it's rising right with Covid and and the onset of these things a lot of folks want to become their own boss But really what that really means is that they want to become a slave to their job. They want their what they're doing to be the their life right and and that's certainly Okay, and in a lot of respects It's it's certainly admirable that you want to to bet on yourself and and and just do everything yourself as a Self-employed person, but let's think a little bit outside of the box here from it What if you started to trust other folks to operate a business with you? What if you could? Leverage other people's strengths. Could you be more effective? Could it be something that as a business owner? Now that you want to consider yourself a business owner You could see yourself separating from this idea that you've employed yourself to do everything And let me make this distinction very clear too. You can be a small business owner You could say you own a business and you operate a business But employ yourself as many different parts of the business and I would challenge you that you're still self-employed in that instance Right that you could be operating a business But you could be so bogged down with all of the operational complexity and all of the things that you want to handle yourself That you've now self-employed yourself. You've made the business Your boss in some sense rather than you're the boss of the business So that's what I have today. That's what I'd like to share with you I'd love for some commentary in the comments section about what you really think Are you self-employed? Or do you consider yourself a business owner and what is it going to take for you to move from one category to the next or How do you chat? How do you challenge yourself to stay a business owner because I think that is what you really want in a business That's what you want to be able to do is you want to not only depend on others to help you operate the business But you don't want the business to become your boss. You don't want To employ yourself to your business and be in a place where you're so bogged down with what the business is going to give you So that's what I have today. Like I said would love some commentary Would love it if you aren't subscribed to this channel, but please subscribe to my channel Please give me topics to cover. I love covering all different types of topics I love interacting with people online and in this platform I love the idea that we can share information the power and sharing information is so key here I'm gonna put some resources also in the in the description of this video. Would love it if you check those out See what see what more I'm kind of talking about maybe elaborate on some of the topics of discussion here today and Please connect with me socially. I'm on a lot of different social media platforms I'm also very much involved in the community here if you're in the Miami area would love to connect with you that way as well and Visit my website. I am Ken Ross calm and until next time. I'll see you around


This study investigated the effects of varying amounts of cross-linking agents on the properties of starch, poly, acrylic acid, hydrogels. The results showed that increasing the amount of cross-linking agent increased the thermal stability of the hydrogels while decreasing their swelling capacity. Additionally, the presence of cross-linking agents also affected the rate of methylene blue uptake by the hydrogels.

I guess just for starting off, what was it like kind of being back, kind of starting the process toward the 2002 season? Yeah, it's always good to get back and it didn't end like we wanted to, but it's time to regroup, rebuild, and refocus. And that's what the offseason is about, it's getting the right mindset. We can go out there, clean up some stuff, and offseason is about changing, working on the details and trying to get your game to a higher level. Guys coming in here, kind of mad about what happened with the Bengals, or do you want everybody fresh slate and let's just be happy and go forward? Everybody handles defeat differently. For me, it's a motivation to come back to work. It's a mindset I can use every day working out meetings. Because until you win it all, you're falling short every year. So I'm happy to be back, I'm happy to be working. And it's just another day in the office that we start a new season and trying to refocus and get on the right foot.  Yeah, it's a while, it's all during the playoffs when it's going on. My mindset's always until the Super Bowl is over. Because you're expecting on plans, so no travel plans, none of that's going on until after it. Yeah, you still see clips, ESPN show stuff all the time of different clips and stuff, so you're always like, man, we left out on the opportunity. But I'm blessed and grateful to get another one, happy to be here. And that's the way it starts now. You're going to have somebody new to the left of you for the first time in a little bit.  Right, that's what the off season's about, camp is taking the reps and as many reps as possible with any combination. And they do a great job of the coaches by working different guys in and out of OTAs and camp and that's what it's about, it's building those bank reps. Because when you get in the game, you rarely, you see you play five guys the whole year on the offensive line. You always have guys rotating in and out from injuries and health standpoint. But it's always good at this time to be in the meeting room with them, hearing my voice and other guys and kind of build that camaraderie right now. And what's a lot of teams in the AFC really loading up this year? I think we did a good job too. Yeah, we're building something special here and we've done it over the past, say four years we're very able. And we don't need just one year to go out and get talent. It's a process, you have to trust the guys who they put in the room. You're here for a reason and it's not, you just don't need one player to win a championship. It takes a team to win a championship. This has been a note, protection was an issue for you guys last year. There are one or two things that maybe you guys are focusing on as you get ready for the OTAs and so forth, maybe communication or anything like that. Yeah, it's technique, it's fundamentals. You can only do your part as an offensive lineman. You gotta have 11 guys on the same page from Ryan being confident in the receivers, the backs knowing their role, the O-line doing their role. It's not just hey, it's one group, it takes a whole offense to be effective and be good no matter if it's protection or anything. You gotta be all together. What have you seen from Aaron Brewer, a guy who couldn't be that left guard in the times that he's played so far? Yeah, he's been a young guy who's really helped us a lot. He's stepped in in multiple roles in this offense. And he's a guy who comes to work, he's eager to be in there. And he plays hard and that's the guy you want. You know he's passionate, you know he cares about how hard he plays.  You turn on the tape, you know the guy he really cares about how hard he plays. Have you met your new acquisitions, whether it's Robert or Austin or Jamarco, and what's it like kind of getting to know those guys? And you kind of showing them, I guess, the tighten way? Yeah, right now this is a process you really, you're not on the field much. Only thing I can do is show them my knowledge in the meeting room and how hard you work in the weight room. And that's what this process is about, it's building a relationship so they trust you when you make the call out there on the field. They have utmost respect for you and know what you're gonna, you're making the right call. And when Dylan wasn't playing a whole lot last year, what did you see from him that makes you confident that he can take that step forward in year two? Yeah, you're coming in as Dylan. He works hard every day, his mindset is in the right place. And it's another step and he has to build on that. And no matter what you did last year, you gotta come in and you gotta earn everything. This is what you do now, business. It's no matter what you did last year in the past, you gotta come in and earn it every day. You were pretty emotional when the season ended and you mentioned it didn't go the way you wanted it. When you went through the off season, you thought about your options. What was it so appealing to come back here to hopefully get to that ultimate prize? Right, I've been so close multiple times and ever from high school to college to the pro. And I have the utmost folks that we can get it done here. I trust the coach, I trust this organization and I wanna win here. And it'll be that much more special to me that to do it the right way and to end my career in Tennessee and win in the championship. In mind, you guys have talked in the past. There was good to grade the one year and I think unfinished business and things like that. Is there sort of a slogan you come into this off season with with this group? And how much can you build from last year to get over the hump this year? Or is it totally a new process? Yeah, I think this team is mature and we went from just getting into the playoffs a couple years and making a run to winning the vision to last year to winning the whole AFC. So it's building blocks. We're building confidence as an organization and the team that we can do it. We are the team, now hey, why not us? And we're going out there and trying to earn it every day and you gotta build that every day. It's not just, I have a slogan, I have this. It's what you put into it in the building. It's the days when you don't wanna work. That's the days that, hey, it's gonna, you're gonna remember when you win a championship. You mentioned the team maturing. You said over the years we've built this foundation. In the day to day, how does that show up? What's different about your day in this building because of that foundation? Yeah, I'm here every day, no matter off season thing. You always know I'm gonna be in this building. I love coming to work here. Even when I don't have to be here, I'm gonna show my face. I'm gonna, I can find always something to work on. If it's the physical side, if it's the mental side. This game takes a lot out of you, but it gives a block back too. So I'm very blessed to be here. And that's what, when you have a great coaching staff, players here, you wanna be around this building.   Yeah, I'm being in it now, going on 11 years. It's always an exciting moment for those kids. I know going through it, I was so excited because you really that's your first time, you don't have a say where you're going. College, you have multiple offers, you get to kind of pick and choose. Make that decision when you're family. This is the opportunity where kids are just, hey, you're getting your name called. And so my role is, hey, we're happy to have you. What can I do to help you make this transition easier for you? And I had guys do that for me in Houston. Guys do that when I came in free agency ever many years ago that was. And it's an exciting moment for those kids. They're family, they're getting the opportunity that you've worked for your whole lifetime. And now it's my point is like, hey, let's keep this going, not just be, hey, you gotta earn this. When you came out, but your first significant time was at guard. There's gonna be centers doing that in this draft. What was that process like for you? And what's some advice you would give to those guys? Right, I'm going to Houston, I was drafted there. I went to Pro Bowl center Chris Myers and just learning his routine, learning how what he did day to day in the building. His how he treated his family, the player, the dynamic between players and coaches. I learned a lot from that and how to build a routine and he played nine or ten years in this league now. I'm right there and I've used that same thing to kind of mold my career. From your perspective, is it important as off season training begins that as many guys as possible are here as long as they're doing stuff on their own? Is that okay, what do you think? Yeah, off season is about getting better and whatever it takes to elevate your game to get us to the long as they have the same mindset and knowing what it takes to win a championship here. Everybody has their own way about getting to a certain goal and mine's being here. You're right here. If God still bless me, I'll be happy to be here.
