Hey everybody, Dr. O. This video we're going to focus in on the drugs that are used to treat HIV infection. Before we do this real quickly, like why does your immune system struggle with it so much? And I think that also ties into why we're having struggles creating HIV vaccines. So number one, the target, HIV is infecting the CD4 positive helper T cell, the general in your immune system army. So without the general, your immune system doesn't function very well. So it's actually attacking the cell that would be responsible for most of our response to fight off viruses. So that's one reason. Number two, retroviruses. So viruses mutate faster than bacteria RNA viruses appear to mutate faster than DNA viruses. Retroviruses seem to mutate even faster. So there's lots of mutation, which means that you're going to see lots of different versions. One person could have millions of millions of variants of the virus inside of them. So another reason it's tricky for your immune system to get at and even for drugs to work is that it actually it crams itself into your genome. So it's hiding inside host cells. So it picked a very important target. It can hide inside those host cells.   And then number three, this rapid mutation rate makes it hard for drugs to target and your immune system. And then so we'll talk about why we use a combination of drugs. So let's go ahead and look at these major classes of drugs that are used to fight off HIV. So we will use a cocktail, which is H-A-A-R-T or heart, highly active antiretroviral therapy. The main reason you want to use a cocktail is because of that quick mutation rate, the quick evolution of this virus. I always like to say that if you were to choose any one of these drugs within five or six years, it would be worthless. You use a cocktail because you're asking the virus to mutate around several, three, four, five, or more drugs at the same time, much hard to do that. So it's hard to win the lottery, right? But it's very hard to win it three or four or five times. That's what random mutations are like. So that's why you use a combination of drugs. Certainly it's more effective, but it does slow evolution and slows resistance. So let's go ahead and look at some of these drugs. So let's start with the fusion inhibitors because that's where the virus actually finds the cells and fuses with it.  So fusion inhibitors are gonna stop the fusion of the virus to either the CD4 positive CD4 receptor or the coreceptor. So there are actually CCR5 agonists. They're working on even more drugs that are gonna stop this fusion process. So this will not be 100% effective, but it'll stop some of the viruses from fusing. The next group, I'll just look at the ones that are on the picture and then I'll talk about a few more. Next, we would have the reverse transcriptase inhibitors. So let's say someone's taking all these drugs. A handful of viruses will get into the cell. Now if you can block most of them from using reverse transcriptase, the enzyme, to turn their RNA into DNA, then they can't move forward. So now we have fusion inhibitors and reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Next at the bottom here, we have the integrase inhibitors. So the handful that have made it in and turn their RNA into DNA integrases the enzyme that would force this viral DNA now into our cells. So integrase inhibitors would stop that process. So hopefully only a handful of these organisms have made it this far. Next on the list, then you have the protease inhibitors. So once the viral DNA is inside our genome and we're producing viral proteins for them now, the proteases would be needed to make functional proteins. So the protease inhibitors should stop that process. All right, so we talked about fusion and cell entry inhibitors, like fusion inhibitors and the newer ones that are blocking the CCR5 co-receptor, we talked about reverse transcriptase inhibitors, integrase inhibitors and protease inhibitors.  And the last group would be called the tetherins, where they would actually tether the viruses to this cell, preventing it from escaping and going and finding another cell. So if you're to use all these different treatments, you can see why you greatly slow the spread of this virus, which is why a disease that used to be able to kill in a few years without treatment has been relegated to a much more manageable chronic disease. And this is also why many people that are using these drug therapies are undetected as the term they would use. There's no evidence of the virus in their blood. It does not mean they don't have HIV. It's hiding in their lymphoid tissues, etc., like we've already mentioned. But these drug cocktails work really well and they can control the infection to the point where you can't find evidence in the blood. So all right, so I already mentioned, but I'll say it again, the reason you use a combination or cocktail of drugs is to make the treatment more effective, yes, but also to slow resistance, slow evolution. We'll talk about the same thing with some of these combinations of antibiotics in the same way. Usually when you use more than one antibiotic, yes, it'll help in some extent. But the main reason to do so isn't for that infection. It's to slow the resistance that comes from using antibiotics. All right, so that is the antiretroviral therapies that are being used to combat HIV infection. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


oh my fault I'm eating a watermelon and passion fruit my wife put me on and ever since I tasted that man don't know other fruit feel the same it don't taste the same and and nothing else compares to it and that is the exact same thing that RG3 is going through when it comes to being a starter he's gotten a taste of what it's like to be a starter in this league and there's nothing else like it yeah you can come in some games when Lamar Jackson and Ravens offense are blowing these teams out but it's still not the same as actually being a starter for your football team being the starter on your football team and that's what we here to talk about today so RG3 he was recently on the Matt Moseley show on ESPN in Central Texas and he was talking about how he still wants to shop he still wants to be a starter in this league he still feels like he can do it he's only 30 years old a lot of us include myself we forget that this guy is only 30 years old so his story is not over and he got plenty left to tell with it so with RG3 with him coming out and saying that it's not like this is news it's not like this is anything new it's not like this is any story that just recently all of a sudden came out no RG3 he said this before and when he said it before it of course it wasn't a shot at Lamar it didn't mean that he wasn't satisfied with how everything has been ever since he's been with the Ravens and how the organization has treated him no it's just him saying hey I want to be a starter because again just like the watermelon and passion fruit once you get a taste of it everything else it just it just don't hit the same so I think that this was actually more than RG3 just saying that he wants to be a starter in my eyes I think this was RG3 saying hey Ravens don't be afraid to pull the trigger I know y'all have been in talks with people before I know my name has floated around in trade talks before even just this offseason I remember doing a video about a couple of months ago about the Ravens listening to office for RG3 and if you're listening then that means you're willing and there has been a lot of question as to what the Ravens are gonna do at the backup QB position it has been a thing that we have talked about a lot it's come up in questions from subscribers we've talked about in videos on Twitter all that good stuff and it is something that I just really I just don't know because if I had to come to a decision on what I think the Ravens would do especially based off the whole pandemic thing I think that would give RG3 the lag up on everybody else because I know what some people thinking oh RG3 is gonna be out here oh RG3 is gonna be cut oh RG3 he's gonna be released that's two million that the Ravens safe and yet a Ravens are getting a little tight up against the captain there they are but still RG3 this will be his third year here all the other quarterbacks Trace McSawley this will be his second year Tyler Huntley this will be his first year so unless there was some crazy offer that the Ravens received or if it's one of them covered in fifth round draft picks like it like you know they love then I wouldn't expect RG3 to go anywhere and before I forget I got to give a shout out to my guy Dylan Paul because Dylan was the person that actually sent me this story on Instagram because that's why I'll be telling y'all team keep it clean that's why I love y'all so much because if there's ever anything that I miss y'all always put me on every single time it never fails I love y'all team to keep it clean thank you for being so supportive thank you for showing love just thank you for being y'all me straight up I appreciate y'all like crazy man but with RG3 I think this could be RG3 given the Ravens a little nudge like hey let's get this ball rolling again I know that Lamar is the long-term guy here and I know that I don't have a future here as a starter if I remain with this team this Ravens team I will forever be a backup and again that wouldn't be a shot at the Ravens that's just a harsh reality that it is RG3 is not going to be a starter with the Baltimore Ravens not now not in the future not ever that's not a shot at the Ravens and that's not a shot at RG3 that's just well they just so happen to have the reigning MVP as they're starting quarterback he is their president and Lamar Jackson is their future Lamar is both of those so RG3 he knows that he understands that we all know that and understand that so it's like what why would he want to stay why would he want to stay and just be a backup who wants to do that again especially like I said if you've had a taste of it before it would be one thing if his entire career he was just a backup that that would be one thing it could be like a you've been a backup your whole career why you want to leave man why you don't want to just stay chill just buy it but no from jump from his rookie season I mean he was rookie of the year from his rookie season this guy was starting from jump I think his first game I think he had beat the Saints in New Orleans I believe I could be wrong though but anyway so RG3 just wants that back and you can't blame him you can't blame him I I hope for his sake that he can get another opportunity to sort of right the wrongs because it hasn't been so pretty it got very ugly with the oh that guy that is one of the ugliest QB situations I have ever seen between a player and a franchise with RG3 in the Redskins that would that situation was just disgusting it was disgusting there was just I have never seen that level of petty before like these these guys were willing and not even willing they did it these guys didn't release them didn't trade them they carried them on the roster whole year when he wasn't gonna be in their plans at all they carried this guy on the roster the whole season he's just sitting there and then I mean it and it was more but that whole situation just got ugly it started off like it started off such a beautiful thing oh boy it was beautiful that rookie year was beautiful especially because Ravens won a Super Bowl that made it even better but anyway and then he later on ended up going to the Browns and that for a long time he was the only quarterback that had actually won a game as a Cleveland Browns quarterback but that records obviously been thrown out the window a long time ago but it just it wasn't pretty from since he was he since he was on the Redskins in his last couple years with the Redskins and then when he went to the Brown it just hadn't been pretty and then even with the Ravens Ravens try to give this guy like when RG3 first time with the Ravens that wasn't the first time they tried to get them they tried to sign on the year before he says no I'm not ready and I appreciate that he wasn't ready I appreciate that with RG3 because again that's when the Ravens were looking for some mobility and that's why some people think that um the Ravens have been looking for their Lamar Jackson for a while they've been looking for it they tried out a little bit with um Tyra Taylor tried out a little bit with Troy Smith and they really tried too much with Tyra Taylor they didn't invest anything and in these quarterbacks these mobile quarterbacks they even try to get Kaepernick we know how that went they try to initially get RG3 and the initial time they try to get RG3 yeah he said I'm not ready but then a year later he said okay I'm with it welcome aboard RG3 so I'm glad we always talk about how timing is everything and it certainly is because who knows if the Ravens would have got RG3 a year earlier if they might have drafted a quarterback then if they would have drafted a mobile QB then and we would have never got Lamar who knows but I'm glad we don't have to worry about that so with RG3 I'm trying to think off the top of my head any possible situations for him for right here right now because obviously Lamar Jackson has opened up a lot of doors for QBs because people they've seen what he did last year and they're like whoa okay well maybe this can be done maybe it can be done so RG3 can't and of course Lamar isn't the first mobile quarterback to be successful we know that but the way that he did it and just the numbers and again this wasn't even his his best because he sat out so much it could have been a lot better could have been a lot like think about that it could have been a lot better than what it was but he sat out all those quarters what nine quarters that's two games in a quarter sheesh that's crazy but off the top of my head any places for RG3 where he could possibly go and have an opportunity to start I can't say Jacksonville New England he could compete for a starting job in New England but yeah and I'm not gonna take any time even dwelling on that maybe if y'all can think of any way off the top of your head before the draft I might have said charges him and Tyrone Taylor battle it out but now they drafted a Herbert I think and so they got that guy the future so I would I don't think it would really be any point for them acquiring one RG3 but yeah I just really can't think of anybody off the top of my head but again I do think this is RG3's way of letting the Ravens know hey get to talking to people I'm ready I'm let me go and even I even think that it's a possibility now that this has come out and again it came out before like he said the same thing last year he says it every year because he still wants to be a starter you can understand that but he doesn't say it in a malicious way so that's a good thing and everybody on the team knows I'm sure they already know oh RG3 yeah he still want to be a starter he was a starter before yeah they probably rooting for him to start but now that this story this has resurfaced and he's gotten to talking about this again now I think that it could be a big possibility to where the Ravens they could release him it could be sort of a mutual thing I really do think I think if RG3 walked into the Ravens of facility right now he walked in there with his mask on and he said it was like what he said oh my fault took the mask off Eric DeCosta can you release me I love everything that y'all done here I appreciate the opportunity a shout out to you thank you Ozzie Newsom for being willing to take a chance on me and really sort of revitalize my career and give me an opportunity but I just I want an opportunity to try to go start somewhere I know a slim pickings and I know it's very risky but I'm willing to take that risk on myself because I believe that if given the proper opportunity I can be a starter in this league so of course it's no offense to you you guys have been nothing but wonderful to me and again I appreciate it but could you would you be able to release me I think they will grant him that wish I really think they would just just out of mutual respect man out of mutual respect and then they will save to me and they would be able to say like hey RG3 this was a mutual decision Audrey 3 he wanted an opportunity to go start somewhere so he asked for his really he asked for his release and we granted it I really I could see that happening I could see that going down will it go down I don't know but you never know so something to keep an eye on anyway team keep it clean I love you all I appreciate you all and again like I always say man thank you for always being willing to listen thank you for be willing to spend time out of your day each and every day with us here on team keep it clean so I love you I hope you all having a really really good what's today Tuesday yes Tuesday I'm going to go finish this watermelon and passion fruit we out


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport Willys Wheeler is stock number 12966Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, near New and used Jeep and Jeep Wrangler headquarters. This 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport Willys Edition has the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with a 270 horsepower. This Jeep has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this Jeep is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video. Inside, start it up. Take a look under the hood. Granite crystal is the color, and I shoot all of my videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now, because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. And if you like the video and how I do things here at Summit Automotive, consider clicking the subscribe button in the lower right-hand part of the screen, and then click the bell notification so you get updates on the videos I do each and every day. Here at Summit Automotive also have a large, large library of Wrangler videos on our YouTube channel, so check that all out. It has painted alloy rims. I believe these are 17-inch rims, and it has Firestone Destination MT tires. These are LT 255 75R 17s, and these tires have just a little under half the tread left on them. See just how clean that frame and under body is on there. Looks really good. Front fender is in nice shape. Didn't see any major dents or cracks on there. Front bumper is in nice shape. Those have the factory fog lights. And this one also has the LED lighting group, which is kind of a cool option to have on the Willys package. Just a couple little dings right there on the front bumper, but nothing too bad. You do get those LED headlamps, LED running lights, and of course the gloss black grille part of that Willys package, and the seven-slotted grille. The hood is in fantastic condition. I didn't see any dents. I didn't see any dings. Didn't see any scratches. Looks really good. I'm just going to open that so when we take a look under the hood, it's a little bit easier. Passenger side front fender, absolutely perfect. And the passenger side front rim, no major scuffs or scrapes on there. Now as you go down this side of this 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Willys Edition, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective, and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos, so if you are far away, or even if you're close by, and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the Wrangler, you can see the vehicle, hear the vehicle, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buy and decision from wherever you're at. We saw a lot of these vehicles out of state, and if this video helps you make that buy and decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video, it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back tires, or back room is in excellent shape, and the back tires, they look like they have right around 50 to 60% of the tread left on them, so a little bit more tread on the back tires and the front tires. Frame and underbody is in very nice condition, you can see it does have those skid plates there, and you do get the rock rails with the Willys package. So Willys package is just a little bit more off-road than the standard Sport. A couple of little scratches on the fender there, but nothing too bad. Little battle scars. Coming around to the back, the rear bumpers in nice shape. Does have the full towing package, which includes the receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. So this is a brand new tire. This one has all the tread left, and you can see just where that stacks up compared to the other tires on the vehicle. The back storage area is very clean. Those seats do fold down, and they go down almost completely flat. I'll show you that in just a little bit. And you get the removable hard top. There's four bolts on each side. Then two quick disconnects. I actually did a demo on how to remove your hard top on your JL Wrangler. If you want to check that out, it's in the upper right hand part of the screen.  Back badge right here gives you your two door, four door, wheel base and overall length, as well as water 40 information. So that glass closes just like that, and this gate shuts just like the old ones did, but the new ones actually shut a little bit nicer than the old ones did. Rear quarter looks really good, and for full disclosure, this back room is in nice condition as well. The hard top is in nice shape, and down the rest of the side of the vehicle, the doors all look really good. The hinges, I didn't see any corrosion on them. They look pretty nice too. Doors look good. It has the heated power mirrors.  No rips or tears on there. These do have side curtain airbags now. Side airbags, not sure if they're curtain airbags, but side airbags. Factory all-weather floor mats, those are the topographic floor mats, they're pretty cool. Auto headlamps, telescopic steering wheel, power mirrors and power locks. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this Jeep has to offer on the interior. Alright, you can see that this one has 26,643 miles. We'll get some, we've got a new battery in that key fob too. You get the 7-inch LCD display and the digital speedometer. Comes with the heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise controls on the right, Bluetooth and information center controls on the left, and audio controls on the back of the steering wheel. This one comes with these 7-inch UConnect radio. You get AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities, your heated seats and heated steering wheel controls right there. You also have your backup camera, which works nicely, and they've made these backup cameras HD, so they are crystal clear and really a nice feature to have. They have all your different apps and you have a projection manager where you can project your cell phone to the screen or Apple CarPlay. So while you may not have nav from the factory on this radio, you can project it to the screen from your phone and if you've got like Waze or Google Maps, you can use it right through the screen. It's really cool. So you can, it's like you have nav right on the screen. Push button start, climate controls, heated seats, heated steering wheel buttons, start-stop capabilities, stability control, downhill assist control. You can turn the screen off all together if you want. And it comes with an Augsjack, USB, and USB-C jack there as well. You also have four auxiliary up-fit switches. That's part of the trailer tow group. Eight speed automatic transmission, four by four shifter on the floor and it does have the keyless entry with the remote start on there with the flipper key. And I like the key fobs. They're nice and chunky. You always know which key you're going to have in your pocket and they actually have like a holder there for the key fob. So pretty cool stuff, passenger side, floor mat and seat are in excellent condition. It smells very clean inside this Jeep. I don't think it's been smoked in. And the front hard top pieces are in nice shape as well. You do get home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start it up. We'll turn on all those LED lights in the front and take a look under the hood. The back seats are just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Hard top piece looks good back here as well. You get speakers up there. And these seats come down. So the first way it goes down just like that, nice and flat. And what I like is that they have made it so that the headrests they can stay down now. So if nobody's sitting back here, there's no visibility out the back. And you can just put that headrest down like that. You get the cool topographical floor mat back here as well. And child safety locks on the back doors. We'll start it up. Take a look under the hood. No check engine lights or anything like that. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video. You'll be able to verify the quality and condition of this Jeep all the way around inside and out. See just how nice and bright all those lights are. And under the hood we have the 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. 270 horsepower engine. It's very clean. Runs very smooth. And once again this Jeep Wrangler has been fully safety inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change. Has been checked and topped off. And this one is 100% ready to go. There is your emissions sticker. And I would highly recommend this Wrangler from a quality and condition standpoint. Really good looking too.

The five things you need to win at selling online. Hey, are you trying to sell online and you wanna win? Well, who doesn't? Of course you wanna win, we all wanna win. Winning is good, we wanna win. Hey, if you wanna win online, you wanna stick to the end of this video because I'm gonna tell you what works. I know I've done it, been selling online for 11 years. Let's keep going right now. Okay, there's a few secrets to this.  But you should, you gotta do them all because if you don't do them all, you can't succeed. Don't forget to also succeed at subscribing to my channel there, hit that subscribe button. And you can also be a winner if you turn on bell notifications, turn on the bell notifications when it pops up next to there. And be part of the group by giving me a thumbs up. I really appreciate that. That helps the distribution of this video if you give me a thumbs up. So let's talk about the first thing. Number one, you ready for this? Big secret, work works. Work works. The more you work, the more it works. Okay, so you need to work. Now, people will say, well, I don't know what to do to get more traffic. Oh my God, they got this thing called Google. And you know what you can do? You can type in what to do if you need to get more traffic. You can just type that in. Google's awesome. They got an answer for everything. And bottom line, it's gonna tell you to work. It's gonna tell you to learn SEO. It's gonna tell you to post in social media. It's gonna tell you to run ads. It's gonna tell you to do all these things, but they all work. Now, when you get started, things are slow. Things are really slow because there's nothing going on. You know, you don't have any customers to deal with. You don't have a website to work on. You don't have anything. You got nothing, okay? But as you get going, what's gonna happen is you're gonna find more and more areas that you're gonna wanna learn.  Don't go into selling online as I'm gonna outsource everything. I'm gonna have people make my website. I'm gonna have people make my web pages. I'm gonna have people list product for me. I'm gonna have people find products for me. I'm gonna have people ship out products for me. I'm gonna have people make courses for me. You'll go broke. You will go broke, okay? I'm telling you. The best thing to do is learn everything in the beginning. I mean, learn everything. Now, maybe you're not a good logo designer. Okay, I'll give you that one. But logos don't even matter that much. They just don't.  So that's not a big deal if you outsource that. However, you should know how to make a sales page. You should know how to make a website. You should know how to do it. And if you don't, you can actually search on my channel how to make a website. Matter of fact, Billy put that right there, how to make a website, okay? You can make a website and you can save a ton of money because you don't wanna spend money in the beginning. That's not what you wanna do. Now, secret two, pick the right niche. Pick the right niche. How do you do that? Well, you come up with some ideas and then you go over to Google Trends and you see if it's trending up, down, or it's flat and you'll know if it's a good niche. See, all the answers are already there. All these questions that you probably have are already answered and they're out there in Google, okay, in Google Land. All those answers are out there. So this is the next step. You gotta pick the right niche. You gotta pick a profitable niche. If you pick a niche that is not that big and gross, maybe you're picking a shoeing horses. You know, that's kind of on the downtrend. That's not doing too well right now, okay? Because people aren't shoeing that many horses. It's not happening, okay? If you're picking basket weaving, it's probably not on the uptrend. You know, I should have checked that. I didn't check that. Maybe basket weaving is going up. But I'm trying to think of some obscure things. Bottom line is you need to pick something that's trending up. You need to pick a good niche. The good niche is so important. It's not the product. The product is what's sold to the niche. A niche is a group of people who are survivalist. The product is survival food. I sell survival food and we sell to the group. The group is survivalist, okay? So it's super important that you realize and you know the distinction between those two. Secret three, make it easy for your customers. Make it super easy for your customers, okay? So I'll give you an example. We sell survival food. And when you come to our website, if you wanna buy survival food, the picture is right on the homepage. You can see the food. You can see it right there. All the categories are at the top. You can see all the categories there. You can click and buy the product. I see so many sites where even to get into the site, you gotta put in your email to see the site. Are you kidding me? Do you want more emails? Really? I don't think you do, okay? So you know that that's an obstacle to entry right there. If somebody does wanna buy your products, you need to have as few clicks as possible. Now we have what we call upsells on our products where once they bought a product, we'll offer them another one. But all they have to do is click a button to add that to their order. They don't have to put in their credit card again. They don't have to put in their information again. None of that. It's already been done. So we have these one-click upsells and we end up making more money by doing that. You've gotta make it easy for your customer. If you have a website and there's not a place to click, as soon as they land there, in other words, they have to scroll to get to a button below, you're missing out because 85% of the people that come to a website never, ever scroll. 85% never, ever scroll and if you put your button, if you put your call to action below where they have to scroll, then you miss out on 85% of your website visitors. Why would you do that? Why? Makes no sense. Secret number four. Offer stellar customer service. I mean stellar. As soon as somebody asks a question of your company, answer them, okay? As soon as they send you an email, reply back to their email. If they're dissatisfied with something, take care of them. Call them up. Let them know that you really apologize. You're really sorry that happened and you'll take care of it for them, okay? Give your customers unbelievable customer support. I go to a couple of restaurants. I can't right now because of this pandemic, but that's beside the point. But I go to a couple of restaurants and they have great customer service and I'll pick some pandemic friendly restaurants, okay? I'll pick Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A has stellar customer service. They just give you good customer service no matter what. There's one Chick-fil-A that's not too far from us and it had a really long line of cars going out into the parking lot and blocking everything. Everybody was going through his drive-thru every day and what they did is they only had one drive-thru. You know, they only had one window where they could deliver food to you. But what they did is they made two lines of cars so they could fit more cars in the parking lot. Then they hired more employees to take more orders and I guess they hired more people on the inside and then when you come around to the window, even if you're on the outside lane, they would run food over to you. They would actually run the food over to you so they had two lanes going through but only one window. That's pretty cool stuff and that's good customer service. As a matter of fact, one-third of Americans, if you live in America, we like good customer service. We don't always get it, but we do like it. But 33% of Americans said they would switch businesses just because of poor customer service, even if they like the product. Also, since we're talking about sites here, make sure your site is secure.  You don't want your site hacked. You don't want that. You don't want your customer's information to get out there. You don't want them people to steal credit card numbers. You don't want this, believe me. This could crush your business. Make sure your site is secure. Do whatever you have to do to make sure your site is secure. Secret number five, promote your store. Tell people about it. I tell everybody about our products. I tell everybody about my survival food company. I tell everybody about my YouTube channel. I don't care if it's embarrassing. I don't worry about embarrassment anymore. It doesn't matter to me. I just want to get business, okay? Business is what matters to me more than anything else. So you got to let people know about it. If you got an email list, email them about your website. Hey, we got this great new website.  Those really good customers. And let them know about your website, okay?  Once you got this traffic going, you want to use your analytics. What's going on? Where's your traffic coming from? If you're posting on, you know, six different social media sites, but the majority of your traffic is coming from two of those social media sites, then you want to, you know, kind of adjust your effort and put all your effort into those two sites, right? Cause those are the ones that are generating the business for you. That's where you want to put your effort. Of course, the last thing you can do for your site is SEO, which is search engine optimization. That means your meta tags, your keywords, all that optimization that you can do. Search engine marketing works well too, and that means ads. You can buy ads. Make sure you get schooled in ads before you do that. If you're interested in learning Facebook ads, I have a course below called FAU. You can check that out. It will teach you how to run ads on social media. It's a great course and I really highly recommend it. We did a lot with it. We made a lot of money with those ads and you can too. So bottom line is there's just not that many steps you've got to do to be successful online, but the steps you do have to do are critical.  Nothing, nothing, nothing can Trump work. Nothing, okay? If you're putting forth the effort and you're doing this every single day and you're doing this all day long, you will get ahead. You will, it may not seem like it, okay?  But if you don't quit, think about this. If you don't quit and you keep putting in work and you keep trying things and nothing's working, eventually you will stumble on something that works. Eventually you will, okay? You just will. I know I did. I started off selling cell phone cases. It didn't work. I started selling, what did I sell after cell phone cases? I think it was some type of camping equipment and camping gear and stuff and it really didn't make me much money. I was selling Konglins at the time and it was cheap stuff from China. Didn't work very well. Then I started selling other camping equipment and then a company contacted me and they had some survival food and it was like freeze dried stuff. It wasn't very good, but I sold it. And then selling that, I made enough money to where I could actually quit my job. But then they couldn't deliver the survival food and I lost a lot of business and I lost my eBay account because I wasn't delivering the food that I had sold even though I had collected money for it because the company couldn't deliver it. And then PayPal took money out of my account to the tune of $20,000, okay? Because they wanted to have reserves for those people who were canceling all their orders. But that did lead me to figuring out how to do my own survival food and in selling my own survival food, it may be millions of dollars, okay? So I had a lot of failures and you might too, but so what? So what, you know? You got to get to the success part and people don't see all the hard work before success. All they see is those successful people to go, wow, they were lucky. They just hit up on the right thing at the right time. Not true. It takes months and years to get to the stage where you're really successful, I guess. I mean, I've been doing this for 11 years now and I still have failures. I still do, okay? I've had enough successes to pay for the failures. Thank God, you know, I was lucky in that respect, but it's because of work. It's because of work ethic and that's what you got to develop. If you don't have that, you won't make it. But I think you do have that because you spend enough time to get to this part of the video, which means you don't mind working and that's a pretty cool thing. Thank you so much for listening to the video and I want to hear your comments. You can put your comments below any questions you may have about learning how to sell stuff online. I would love to hear what those comments are. I would love to see those questions. Maybe you've got some successes you want to share with people. People love to hear about successes.

Good afternoon Can you hear me back there? Welcome to today's poetry reading in honor of National Poetry Month The MSU libraries has scheduled a series of poetry events and we're really fortunate to have with us today Montana's poet laureate Greg Pape to read his poetry for us Greg's visit is thanks to a collaboration among the friends of the MSU libraries the friends of the Bowes and Public Library and Humanities Montana We really appreciate all the help from those groups in addition to this reading Greg will also read and speak about his poetry this evening at Bowes and Public Library Beginning at 6 30 with a wine and cheese reception. You're all invited to that at 7 the reading will begin Yeah, it's gonna be good And it'll be in the large community room at Bowes and Public Library So just a little bit about about Greg before we start in addition to being Montana's second Poet Laureate Greg teaches poetry and creative writing at the University of Montana, and he's done that for 22 years Essentially, so we have a seasoned teacher with us. He's also published nine books of poetry for which he has won many awards and you'll see many of them in our Lobby display over in that direction. Here's one. I'll just wave in front of you and It's great to have him here because Greg has long been an advocate for Poetry and creative writing as a necessary and essential part of our education system and our culture as a whole So he's a real poetry advocate So I just like I just stop and let him start please welcome Greg join me in welcoming him to campus and to our community Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be here. I had a nice drive over from Missoula yesterday the roads were dry and Be happy about that. I'm going to start with a poem by a Poet other than myself This is a poem by Poet that I admire Lee young Lee from his new book behind my eyes And the poem is called station This is kind of the right place to do this Your attention, please Train number nine the northern Zephyr Destined for Rivers End is now boarding All ticketed passengers, please proceed to the gate marked evening Your attention, please train number seven leaves blown by bound for the color of thinking and Renovated time is now departing All ticketed passengers made board behind my eyes Your attention, please train number four the 20th century Has joined the wind undisguised to become the written word Those who never heard their names may inquire at the uneven margin of this story Or else consult the ivy lying awake under our open window Your attention, please the music arriving out of hidden ground and endlessly beginning is now the flower Now the fruit Now our cup and cheer under branches more ancient than our grandmother's hair Passengers with memories of the sea may board leisurely at any unmarked gate Faithful members of the foam may proceed to cloud and Veronica Your attention, please under falling petals never think about home Seeing begins in the dark Listening stills us Yesterday has gone ahead to meet you Your attention, please train number 66 unbidden song soon to be the full hearts quiet Takes no passengers Please leave your baggage with the attendant at the window marked your name sprung from hiding An intrepid perfume is waging our rescue You may board at either end of childhood Now that poem is I love that poem and Kind of a good start because I'm saying please give me your attention It's a lyric poem. It's a poem that is based on the analog of a train station And they're they're calling people to the Conductor is calling people to the train now. I'm going to shift up and begin reading here At the last line there you may begin at either end of childhood Well, I'm at the far end of childhood But I'm still very much interested in childhood and I think childhood is where The imagination the seeds of the imagination really take off and All of us before we have a good grip on the language before we have a good understanding of how we're supposed to operate in the world we we make up a world for ourselves with our imaginations and I think this is something important and something essential about poetry and I told myself I thought well, I probably if I'm going to write anymore about childhood I better do it now Because the farther away from it should get the dimmer your memory becomes But then I was talking to a friend of mine who's a researcher Doing research with memory and he told me he says The more you read and the more you write and the more you think and the more you imagine The better your brain is going to survive the longer. It's going to last the more things will work So I got charged up and I thought well, I can still write childhood poems That's a long introduction to a narrative poem Called blood and perfection We had just moved from a tar paper shed lit at night by candles and kerosene lamps With pastel pink and pale green bed sheets tacked up for curtains a tar bucket for a toilet To the new house Stan had built at the end of Avenue B What did it stand for I wondered better boy blood The house had a flat roof covered with glittering white rocks Lovered windows and a big fireplace of adobe blocks Stan had made of mud and straw poured into forms one by one and set out to dry in the sun My mother sang my blue heaven as she worked in the new kitchen She taught me to write my name in near perfect cursive and showed me how to turn a small frozen orange juice can into a bank That went full held exactly 50 cents. I Was learning about work and worth what worked and what didn't Having filled one small can with pennies. I needed another Miracles and catastrophes abound And in childhood they take on an especially personal tone When for instance, I set the small can with its frozen contents out in the sun to thaw. I Lost track of time. I Failed to calculate the chemical volatility of the hydrogen content in the concentrated juice of the orange. I Had other projects to attend to other explorations on which to embark The new bathroom waited with its gleam of stainless steel in immaculate white porcelain There was so much to consider so much to learn At that time, I didn't know and certainly couldn't spell most of these words But there was something old in me like a voice in the dark that exclaimed and Commanded in many tongues Hebrew maybe Latin English Spanish Chinese Bantu Choctaw and if I moved Through the moments in a reverie of concentration I heard words and phrases Behold Carpe diem mea culpa Though the meaning was unclear But the razor blades were right there Behind the mirror in the new medicine cabinet next to the pill bottles the toenail clippers And that strange in it my mother sometimes used to curl her eyelashes There comes an instant when the idea clarifies Like a black and white photograph in its chemical bath Resolving from whiteness through the gray scale into a focused picture I held the cardboard cylinder of the emptied toilet paper roll in my left hand And the razor blade carefully between thumb and forefinger in my right And I could see in the transforming fire of imagination that one straight slice Could turn a cylinder into a perfect rectangle What I couldn't see was that perfection was an idea rarely if ever accomplished Just as I began to pull the razor down in a straight line There was a startling The bathroom window was spattered with orange And the razor sliced through the cardboard Down through the fat meat in the heel of my palm And stopped at the bone Gorgeous The old unlikely word for altered Comes to mind now as the crimson clouds swirl and drain again in the porcelain sink And the thin scar I'll carry in my left hand As long as I have a body Is nothing but true In my My travels around the state as poet laureate I get to visit a lot of small towns and places And I've been trying to keep some notes and Make a record of my of my travels and This is a poem that came out of a fairly recent poem that came out of traveling around It's called lunch in lima Any of you ever been to lima? You probably had lunch in the same place I did then because there's only one place Occasionally a traveler may ask What's it like to live in lima montana? And the answer comes in the form of an old joke 10 months of winter and two months of company All along the bar the citizens bow their bow before their beers or coffees And give thanks to social security While the poker machine in the corner goes ping and pays out another hand with a one-eyed jack and a pair of fives There are faces in lima that look like the land The land around lima is mountains and pastures Pastures that resemble chessboards Cows for ponds horses for knights A bishop on a backhoe a bishop on a four-wheeler The queen is a hawk on a fence post The king is the board itself In checkmate to the land The sky is truly big But also heavy or light or furiously out of focus in blowing snow Most hopes are kept small to fit in the pockets of overalls the wind The wind is the wind Blowing a plastic bag A wolf's howl a rooster's cry A human sigh Dreams of antelope and cattle Exhaust of trucks and smoke from all the chimneys in lima Translating everything into its own ancient tongue But step in close the door on the wind Today's special at Jan's cafe is an indian taco Frybread smothered with chili cheese lettuce onion and tomato Jan herself will smile and offer free refills as long as lunch lasts And then it's goodbye Jan Goodbye lima and back out into the wind I think I'll read uh, I've got a bunch of these poems about traveling around, uh, Montana But I think I'm gonna skip over the the more dark ones and Head to one that is close to my heart This is called the spell of the bitter root and this is a poem about my home river the bitter root river and I'm uh I've been fighting a battle in the courts with a group of people that love the bitter root for the last eight to ten years and Having to do with stream access and privatization of the river itself the riverbed We took this fight all the way through the courts to the supreme court and we won and now The legislature has recently passed another bill that guarantees access at bridges so We are going to fight for this stream access law And it's it's going to be under attack from now on. They're going to be people trying to get around this law, but We're going to fight and we're going to win. We're going to keep the river for the people of montana This is called the spell of the bitter root our river runs north map-wise anyway But it has been ditched and diked rip wrapped and rerouted dredged and diverted channelized head gated and privatized in many places Portages abound And no trespassing signs hang from strands of barbed wire strung across braves This is not right But does the river care It just wants to meander take its own sweet time Trust in gravity and the tidal pull of eventual dissolution in the great peacemaking sea As verne and wilsey our deceased water master Who drifts now in that sea? Certainly well new Any shoring up or rip wrapping the banks will have consequences downstream Sometimes it seems history is simply a string of bad ideas Like lining the banks of the river with wrecked cars A pristine trout stream Sandwiched between two lanes of the stalled traffic of the dead But then fenders hoods and mangled grills Broke loose from the cables Batteries wept acid over the stones Headlights and windshields ground into a kind of sand And the sleek coops and sedans of lost decades Littered the bars and beaches Progenitor of the caddis and stonefly The midge and the trout Our river runs under the under the spell of anastomosis From the greek for opening Ana throughout and stoma mouth A mouth that won't stay closed A network of living vessels Veins in a watery leaf of earth Channels braids a continuous flow Of wild water Just as we do our river wants to stretch out and move freely in its own bed That's the rant part I'll shift now to a little bit different tone One of the things that I've been doing in my in this new book that I'm working on is Writing a few character sketches I like to focus on a certain person and try and Like a painter painting a portrait You don't want to get just what the person looks like but you want to get the feel of the person You want to be able to reach inside and touch the inside of the person as well So I think of this a little section in this new book As sketches and portraits And this is called lair and deer And lair is short for lair On the porch at wawona he would sit in his wheelchair and watch the deer He spoke with his clear eyes and his palsy body Did you see ginger today? Ginger was a doe Yes, he said by looking right at you and raising his eyebrows and stiffening his back Do you want to go inside now? No, he said Persing his lips and lowering his eyes For 30 years he was fed with a spoon and a spill-proof cup Sometimes he would choke and spit up like an infant When he had to go Someone had to go with him and hold him on the toilet and wipe him clean Sometimes he would sigh and smile the calmest smile When he was happy and excited he would kick his feet and wave his arms like broken flowers The deer came right up to him and ate the grain scattered at his feet And sniffed his knees and breathed with him in the early evening I'm not sure how long to go, but I think I'm going to read Three or four more poems Get it in you? Okay I have been teaching a long time And I started off as a teacher in Arizona. I got an MFA at the University of Arizona in Tucson And after I got my MFA I began working for the Arizona Arts Commission on the Arts and Humanities And I traveled around to Indian reservations and nursing homes and public schools all over the state Teaching poetry Encouraging kids and people of all ages To write and to use this marvelous faculty that we all have this imagination And to strengthen our connection with our imagination and language And in doing that we strengthen our connection with the world We make the community stronger. We we make more contribution We do good things when we when we indulge in poetry So I encourage everybody to indulge in poetry because it's in here. You're all poets This is called not like a dream of freedom and it's about teaching in a prison in Alabama women's prison The sun shines on everything On the museum with its glass portals in the ceiling Angled just so to take in only the north light On new grass pushing up through cracks in the asphalt On the waxed blood red hood of the Cadillac in the parking lot On the razor wire Spiraling along the perimeter fence of the julia tutweiler state prison for women Like an eerie visual music meant to clarify and insinuate the human potential for pain And the sun shines on the white laundry hung out to dry in the yard Where soon the buzzer will sound and the inmates will be let out to take whatever measure of freedom They can still dream with their lunch of beans and white bread And then after lunch a few of the women will go to poetry session And when that's over Angela will take the poet aside The first man she's seen in months who wasn't a guard or a shrink And read him the poem she wouldn't show to the group He will carry the poem with him Not like a dream of freedom That was Langston's poem Unless shared in common like sunlight and like air The dream will die for lack of substance anywhere No, not like a dream of freedom But like a secret hurt told Given into a stranger's care Three more uh when I began to write these poems about memory I didn't stop at early childhood. That's where I started Early childhood and I worked my way up and and the the working title of this new book is called a voice of first things And I was trying to get at First crucial or important experiences and this this one is called peaches All right, I say the word peaches and everybody gets an image Right, we all have we all have uh our associations with the word peaches Would you all say the word peaches for me? Peaches peaches It's a great word, isn't it? It's a cool word and you know the first thing that happens is we we imagine I do anyway those yummy things that we eat, you know peaches. I like peaches And especially fresh peaches But in addition to that Image of the taste the flavor of the feel of a peach the smell of a peach We also have stories surrounding the notion of peaches, right? You can get your own uh, I'm going to read you a poem about one of mine. Okay, and this is also about uh Adolescent work experience. It's called peaches those mornings rising from sleep before dawn in Fresno To drive down highway 99 And that old yellow pickup my palomino To work in the peach orchards outside kingsburg Were briefly cool and glorious as the sun began to rise And I sang lines and phrases of songs burning through the static on am radio Ride sally ride And the wind cried marrying I love you suzie q And go ask alice dissolved into I can't get no satisfaction The morning was a woman who might have loved me If I didn't have to go to work Even the dark eyed beauty with the sunny cleavage and basket of grapes On the sun made raisin sign outside the packing houses at selma Seemed to look longingly right into my eyes But when I pulled into the dirt road beside the ditch And parked my truck next to the other trucks All the men smoked and stared at their boots As ruben the foreman explained the workings of the new mechanical peach harvester And his plan for the day We would grip the limbs with hydraulic arms Throw a switch and shake those sweet feminine peaches out of their trees By nine the sun was hot And the air was thick with dust and peach fuzz The hydraulic shakers made the peaches fall like softballs on the padded bleachers That fit around the base of each tree Then the peaches rolled onto a conveyor that dumped them into a bin Sometimes the shakers broke a limb Or snapped off a branch that whacked one of us in the head We tied our straw hats on with twine And wore bandanas over our faces like train robbers When mercifully the machine broke down We knew why It had rattled its own bolts loose Just as it rattled our teeth and jarred our bones We would lie down on the ground exhausted Hoping ruben would have to go to town parts And there in the sudden quiet of the orchard Looking up through the leaves and voluptuous Slightly swaying peaches touched by glints and filtering rays of sun I heard the voice of Dao Chen How I long to rise in thin air and ride the wind in search of my own kind Then the engine started up again and drowned out the voice of Dao Chen And then I heard the voice of Ruben Two more After work, what happens after work when you're young Um, party time Party time There was a time when the days could go anywhere Bouncing like beads of mercury Freed from the confines of a cylinder Used to measure an aspect of the weather After the glass broke and the party was over Someone had to clean up Gather the shards, run the vacuum, dampen a page from the newspaper Wipe the floor Many days those bright toxic metallic spheres Those small sparkling fragments that could cut through flesh Got lost of their own volition Others seemed to bloom suddenly out of the soil of Anhui Or take off like a sentence in search of a new verb And then the party was on again Someone I recognized as myself Was down there in the crowd at Playland Shuffling and bouncing to the beat of the Grateful Dead A woman dressed in a flag introduced herself as Turtle And offered me a brownie The music lifted me through iridescent fog Flew me like a kite And lay me down below the banks of speakers Bookending the stage where I gazed up at the flames And fret sparks issuing from Garcia's fingers Whatever I was then Reverence to reverb I was full to the brim and overflowing The doors to perception banging in the wind Someone off in the distance waving calling me in And the last poem is based on some research I was doing You're probably not going to believe this story, but this is a true story I was doing some research for a prose book that I'm working on And somebody said you should go on Ancestry.com And so I got on I paid a little bit of money and I went on Ancestry.com And I had some information about my family tree and I started putting in this information And on Ancestry.com it will give you your family tree and it will just keep going back As long as you can find as long as there are connections And I was able to go make it across the big water into England And then I just kept going I spent about three hours following this family tree And it turns out that Lady Godiva was my great great great great summer I didn't think you'd believe me This poem is called Aunt Godiva I didn't want to call her grandma. I just want to call Aunt. Okay Aunt Godiva My great great et cetera Aunt Godiva Was a modest Compassionate woman full of kindness and respect for her poor neighbors Stripping the gold foil from a chocolate and tossing it We may imagine a naked lady on a naked horse But before we bounce and jiggle off through the woods to the next thing Let's consider her motivation Old feudal Duke so-and-so her husband Decided to fatten his purse on the backs of the poor folks who worked the land Remind you of anyone? Aunt Godiva pleaded with the Duke to give them a break Here's the deal the Duke who must have been really full of it himself said Okay, you ride that big white horse of mine Nude as a toadstool Naked as a nestling through the whole of the village in broad day And I will rescind the tax And by God she did it Not a villager out of decency and respect for her Parted a curtain to watch her proud ride Except that one bastard Tom Also, most likely some distant kin of mine. Thank you very much Thanks so much to Greg for coming and joining us and sharing his poetry and thank you all for coming and hanging out with us And please come at 6 30 this evening and we'll hear more poetry and hear something about the slow poetry movement I believe is promised I want to give special thanks to Sandra Brug with the public library and to Pam Schultz of our library For their help in doing this and thank you again everybody. Happy national poetry month. Go and write something


What's good Josh is where Ross back at again with another video. So I wanted to I guess ask you guys a question I've been thinking about this ever since Cody is finally finished his story. I wanted to know Who should be Cody Rhodes first opponent for the WWE Underspeeded championship now we did see on Monday Night Raw that it seems like Cody and the Rock will be crossing paths Once again, whenever the Rock finishes up filming Most likely be like probably round summer slam They'll probably have their face off again. The Rock says he wants to have that face off with Cody So that should be very interesting. I'm sure Cody will still be the champion by then And also there are rumors that Roman Reigns should be returning around that time as well So that's gonna be interesting summer slam seems like it's gonna be Pretty explosive depending on how things play out over these next few months But in the meantime in between time, we got to figure out who will be Cody's first official feud for the WWE Underspeeded Championship So I asked this question to you guys on Twitter because I wanted to get your opinion on this particular situation and get your feedback and I asked Who should Cody first opponent be for the WWE Championship? Give me some valid reasons why that person should face him. This may be in my next video So shout out to everyone that is actually Responded on here. I really do appreciate y'all man. So let's get into this one Someone said Jimmy said I'm going with solo on this one Now that's actually not a bad idea to be honest with you because They haven't really been doing too much with solo and I think solo kind of getting involved With the the main title scene that could be very interesting because of the story You can tell that while Roman was gone solo said, you know what I'm a step up for the bloodline I'm gonna take out Cody and if you guys remember last year solo and Cody Before last year's WrestleMania there had they they had their face off and Cody was basically saying when are you gonna step out of the shadows of Roman Reigns when you're gonna be your own person So I think that would actually be pretty cool to have solo potentially say, you know what Roman's gone I'm gonna take you down. I'm gonna take you down myself and it could give a little bit of more Momentums of solo. Yes, we know solo would lose and he's kind of on a losing streak right now But he needs some type of momentum Maybe you don't have him lose clean Maybe there's something that happens bloodline wise and someone getting involved or maybe a new member of the bloodline Who knows but I do think that would be pretty interesting depending on how they booked it So we also got the draft coming up relatively soon So we I'm not sure if we're gonna find out maybe before the draft or after the draft Whose Cody future opponent for the championship will be coming soon I'm sure he probably will be defending in that backlash. So but I like solo as a potential first opponent Homie Tommy said I could see it being someone like Bronson Reed He's been doing solid work and they just gave him the Andre Memorial Balleroi win So I think having him challenge Cody first can really boost his stock some more. That's a fair point They're trying to give Bronson Reed more into the mix as a credible threat So, I mean that could be a solid first opponent. So see how Cody overcomes that obstacle Someone else said in all honesty solo Honesty solo have solo realizes his time When a tournament he actually is about to beat Cody We have a Jimmy Uso interference, but solo wants to do it on his own They argue Cody capitalizes capitalizes and win solo demands for Jimmy to get kicked out the bloodline That's that's a that's a nice idea. I even responded. That's a pretty fire That's a pretty fire idea I actually like that the story that they're telling there potentially and then someone else respond Under this as much as this would make sense Sola has been on a losing streak since beating Cena last year and that that's the only thing that would hurt him The only thing that's hurting him right now. He's he has not been winning so Maybe a tournament would be the best way to have him get some wins under his belt like a you know Yeah, a tournament tournament to see who's gonna be the number one contender Have him actually get some wins under his belt get some maybe momentum And then you can build off that because right now solo can't catch a win to save his life Of course, of course this one right here Nonsense don't hinder the gender mahal needs to be his first opponent Just don't have him win the title though.  Why not? This person said I think the best choice right now is Randy cuz because of the obvious history They have together and I've seen a lot of people say it was Randy under under under this particular tweet I've seen a lot of people say Randy and to be honest with you. I wouldn't trip I wouldn't trip. I don't know if it should be the first But maybe the second one because you want to space this out until we get to rock and Roman when they return most likely during SummerSlam I'm I think the top choice for a lot of people would be Randy But I think they need to build towards that So you have a little bit of time a little bit of gap between now and then unless you want to do that now And really build off of that make a series of matches because I feel like that match shouldn't be a one-and-done match I think that should be a series of matches at least two at least two But the story is there. I think a lot of people were initially thinking it was gonna be most likely like Randy versus Cody at this year SummerSlam But obviously the rock may you know may have changed plans on that so Hopefully that does happen. I do think that will be a few we will see hopefully sometime this year I don't know if it'll be the first one But if it is the story is there legacy like the stuff the history they have there That's just gonna be fucking fantastic And I would have Randy wouldn't be healed there because it works better if Randy is a heal there of course Omos and I said the same thing. I want to fight you Of course. Oh my snow. No No, no, no, no, no someone made a Good good point with AJ Styles It's a match a lot of people will want to see and it will be the biggest baby face on Smackdown versus the biggest active heel on Smackdown just because AJ doesn't Just because AJ lost doesn't mean anything. He lost at WrestleMania 32 and face Roman for the WWE title at the next baby You that is a fair point. I don't I don't think anyone will have a problem with that I'm okay with that. I am AJ Styles versus Cody Rhodes. I like that. I like it Once again, you could have a tournament have him be one of the winners potentially.  He doesn't have to worry about the bloodline, you know He's probably gonna feel a little bit more confident. I like that Like that a lot a fresh matchup for the championship I'm okay. AJ Styles deserves to be in some type of title contention Contention going forward. So yeah, I'm all for that. I think AJ Styles is pretty cool Someone said Kevin Owens if it wasn't for Cody making a power play to get a switch Switch J from Smackdown to Raw. KO would still be on Raw with Sami Zayn KO can see the success Sami has had without him and blame Cody because he and Sami could have Still been sharing a spotlight. You don't need KO to be a heel for this to work He can play the prize fighter role. We saw back when Triple H first took Control over creative. I like that idea. That's a good. That's a good way to Implement that story. I like that. I'm okay with that That's not a bad one. I like that idea y'all coming up with some pretty good scenarios, man Y'all say I got the script. I think some of y'all may have to have the script Someone says AJ Styles Sheamus or solo I've seen a lot of that so far Hear me out on this one Ross Braun breaker Not yet No It's not time It's not time You see him more on TV build them up some more he will get his moment. He's the future He is the future for WWE Built that up you don't have to you don't have to rush that he is the future for WWE I don't think it's time yet They can have that match for sure. They can definitely build up towards that match But I don't know if that should be his first opponent So give it some time. I think we I think that can be a future match up for sure, but not yet Um Let's see what this person said. All right, hear me out I don't want no bloodline members going against Cody at least for the time being that story is done for right now We can circle back around during SummerSlam season I feel like either LA night Braun breaker You can build off LA nights momentum after this huge win at Mania You could go with the ladder or and put over Over a new young star to go after Cody I've said I've said it before and I'll say it again brawn breakers the next guy up once again I think that's a good idea, but we gotta wait for it and LA night even though he did win I think like I said, I think I'm sure they'll probably put some type of tournament to make this happen I don't know if that should happen right now because these are two Over baby faces going at each other which you can do but I don't I Don't think that should happen right now Not yet They shouldn't have that match up at least not yet. So someone else said solo a lot of you guys are saying solo and Randy Orton Randy Orton student versus teacher. I like that one the idea there All right. Now. This is a good one go through reasoning go through feels like he's owed a title match because Because to get both of his main event matches at our WrestleMania Cody eliminated goonther from the Royal Rumble They can revisit that they can not yet Like I said, a lot of these are just later down the line if you really want to do that But not yet because I feel like whenever who whenever goonther goes for a one-on-one Championship main like main title championship. He's winning you don't have goonther We had one of the the longest reigning intercontinental championships of all time Go against either whoever's the championship for the World Heavyweight title or raw whoever is the champion I'm still assuming Cody will still be the champion by by time we get to that point You don't have him lose do you can't if it's a one-on-one for the top title He's not losing you can't have him lose So that's why I said they would probably hold off on that if anything he'd probably go for the World Heavyweight Championship But you don't have him lose yet He shouldn't not for no not on a one-on-one So I like the idea, but I don't know if that should be happening anytime soon with Cody because you would have to book yourself in a corner and you can't have Cody lose And then you Considering depending on when this happens, but not anytime soon and you can't have goonther lose. So Let's see someone said Kevin Owens again He could take an L and meanwhile in the background since KO and Randy have been teaming you can build you can You can be building the Randy vs. Cody story now. That's good So Kevin Owens would be the bridge to the Randy and Cody story That can be interesting That can be very very interesting. I think the Randy part will probably be the best option I don't know if they do it first because Randy Orton was one of the people that had him had Cody on his shoulders at WrestleMania And you know they can add that into the promo package So I don't know this is this is this is very interesting This is very interesting What if someone said this man right here? Yeet because Cody brought him back to the company and put him on Raw to change To change and be a top superstar on Raw and he helped Cody finish the story Well, he's already going for the World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest. So that's probably not gonna happen. So but yeah Now you guys listed some good stuff. I see Braun breaker once again goonther once again AJ Styles once again Randy Once again, Kevin Owens. I'm seeing a lot of people in solo. Those are the consistent ones. I see AJ Styles Randy Orton Kevin Owens goonther and solo Some solid names some solid names. I've even seen a couple brawn breakers in here But yeah, I see a lot of people saying AJ Styles is a great way to kick off if I'm WWE From them Dependent it depends on the draft If you have a tournament Whether it's on SmackDown or whatever. I'm okay if AJ Styles wins it I'm okay with it. I'm okay if AJ Styles wins it because it'll be a fresh matchup I think that match will be great I think it'll be entertaining and it'll be cool to see AJ Styles back in the main event scene as a heel I like it I'm okay with he if he's the first person. I'm okay with it But y'all made some good points and I do think you know brawn breaker may be in the future You know, I think that would be pretty cool brawn breaker an up-and-coming star going against Cody Rhodes and Cody like damn this guy is he's unstoppable force. You'd be very good. Very interesting So I like the suggestions appreciate everyone that sent me one I You know, I'm wouldn't able to go through all of them I wanted to make this video too long, but I appreciate y'all just taking your time out today to you know Give your feedback and y'all came up with some pretty interesting ideas So I want to see in the comments down below in this particular Video who do y'all think should be Cody Rhodes first opponent? I'm not talking about future opponent is very first opponent Who would you guys like to see face Cody Rhodes for the WWE is undisputed championship and what would be the scenario? Why would it make sense for that said opponent to be facing Cody? Why would you want to see that? Let me know down below and you never know maybe one of your guys ideas actually happens I am okay with AJ Styles if he's the first person to do it, but I do hope Eventually we get the Cody versus Randy. I think a lot of people want to see that too So but comment down below. Let me know. I appreciate all of them sport road to 150k And I'm still young speedy YouTube resident champion world. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See you next one. Peace


I think people do realize how powerful it is to just have open code and letting people be part of the development process. It's not so much that talks are already curated and available to attend, it's the hallway track. The biggest value I get out of coming to an event is direct interaction with people. We've had two developers, a big long email thread trying to figure out to solve a really tough technical question. They both were here, I'm like, okay, you two, we're gonna go to lunch, we're gonna sit down and we're gonna work it out. Sometimes, some things only can be best done in person. I attended a 3R workshop on edge computing where essentially they were talking about what all open source innovations are going on for edge computing. Being in my domain, which is AI and ML, that's a field hard to track but now I understood what they're doing and I quickly found out that there are so many correlations we can have with the technology we are building here. It's also a great way to get exposed to new ideas, to new concepts and, you know, there's puppies. Angela and her team do a fantastic job of providing many, many opportunities to socialize, to work together, to kind of communicate our ideas, right? Whether it's in diversity or community or technology or leadership and I think that is required more and more. Meeting people, talking to people, connecting with old friends, making new friends, that's why I go to all these events and that's why I love the open source stuff.


So that was the camera, you're famous here on YouTube, it's quite plastered this one. I don't mean Alex, I mean the wall. Good thinking. Good morning. What's the day Alex, Tuesday? Tuesday yeah, the something something of April. 26th. 26th of April. Short week for this week, I think we're off to Legoland on Friday. Fingers crossed. Again another assignment for Shaxson magazine, for anyway that's another thing. Today we're on a rescue mission, customers always up and said I've got a bit of a problem with the world here and I came to have a look at this in December and you're back from A&E over Christmas. So we're finally here, so I'll spin you around and show you what's what so prepare yourself, it's not pretty. I don't mean Alex, I mean the wall. That was pretty shocking. That's that Welsh guy on Instagram says, absolutely shocking. So as you can imagine our job is going to be to save this. Just dig the foundation, a few flags at the end, the flags are supposed to be level, that's probably a good three inch fall on them. So we're going to put a foot in and bring our wall up past the flags, so they can bring the flags up. This is how it was left by the way. This is what they did. That's pretty well done. This is how the job was left, this is the cement that they're using. Never touched that, no words. I don't know if they did the flags and I think the flag, the steps might have been original, they just weren't around it. Look at that. This is the finished job, it's not even cut straight that. This should be a halting knot. Yeah and the customer was struggling to get someone to do it, so these are just some random builders of Facebook, so you've got to be careful when you're getting someone to do your work, you need recommendations, you want to see the work and you want to speak to people who've had them work for them before. I mean the rest of it's not awful, but it's not good either. There you go. A bit of sand cement just tossed in at the front. And hollow underneath. Try the next one. I'll just pop this down. Oh got frogs. A little frog there. There's a bit of a move probably before you get squished, it's getting out of the way, it's going to get squashed. There we've got him. There you go, that's how I don't deep the holes there, it's enough for frogs to live in. When you go down there, go on. There he goes. Same thing. Yeah. What's this sand on? Sand. Yeah there's not even any cement under that. The one plus side is it's easy for us. It's easy for us to take up and things like this. Yeah. So the plan is we're going to build this up in the nine-inch wall, back skin underneath the flags, front skin to run past with the coping on top, so it'll look like a single wall, but it won't be a single wall. And then these flugs are going to be laid back to the back of our wall. So in effect it's going to be there like that coming up. So these back four rows are going to have to be lifted and blended back flat. Down here is not so bad, you can see it's been flooding. So obviously that ankle drain needs to clean now, but yeah, we've got to get it all this. We're going to this end here, we're going to follow through. It's going to be gray, Wiresdale steps back along there, and then we're going to skin in front of that. We're not knocking that down, we're going to build in front of it, and then put a coping on top of that. So yeah, that's enough waffling. Let's get some work done. He's okay here? Yeah. Stack them on top of each other, but like 45 degrees, like spin that round so the corners stick out along the square bits. They're easy to pick up then and put down. Like this? Like that, yeah. Stack them like that. Yeah, so there you go. So as usual, we'll work on timelapse for a bit while we get organised. Check back in. I think we better fill in the timelapse, it'll be done in two seconds. Yeah, we'll check back in in a bit. Catch you then. Right, we're back. That has forgot to press freaking record again, but obviously that didn't take much to get out. That had popped off, that had just flipped up the air. I just got to pick under the flag. Look, the flags aren't even laid on the sand and cement. They were just laid on the floor. Friggin disgrace. So what we've done now is just set our line up to make sure we're parallel, and that's our line to follow now. So we're going to go through here now, pop everything else out the way, move everything out of the way, which we can start digging a little trench through here. So we're going to pile everything here for now, because the skips not coming till tomorrow, is it? Yeah, let's see.  So we've got room to work. Yeah. Yeah, so by the end of the day, this is going to look a lot different. So I'll fill in this bit actually, I'll pop and go along here, show you just how bad it is. So, um, where should we put the camera? Put it here? Yeah, put them so bad. We'll work our way back to the steps. There it is. So here's the camera. You're famous here on YouTube. It's quite a plus at this one. So we're going to go near the concrete concrete. So to get the smoother you make that out of the squash then. I've got that flat, mate. I'm going to struggle with that. So I'll put them over here. Yeah, down that side between the two.  Do you want to come this side? It's not a great wall of China, is it? No wall. It's not even a wall. It's coming apart pretty easily too. So I'm welcome to... How not to build a wall with Stephen Alex? Featuring the frogs. Featuring the frogs. Here you go. This, that, this pump in there, which we just dragged over, obviously. The reason why we dragged over, this is the end here. There's the bottom block and there's a cross section of the foundation it was on. That's it. That's all it was sat on. It's barely worked through the wall. Just a bit of sand and cement, straight onto me. Sorry. And everything we've used was reused stuff as well, so it was all free of water and just a disgrace. So we're in a position now where we can start digging, cover all that back out the way, start coming through with our trench. And we're going to leave the steps in for now because that's the step we're going back in the same place.  And yeah, let's go home. Yadoki. Spades up and there we have it. That is one trench dug. So now we are nipping to, we're nipping to forwards. I know, yeah. That's all just come from digging a little 200 mil trench. But yeah, so I think, oh, 300 mil. I thought it was 200 deep. No, it's not really deep. It's probably, there it's about to be deep because it's a big pile. Yeah. Yeah, trench is done. So we're going up to Fairwoods. Fairwoods in Poland to go grab some stone. Ton of ballast. And then we're going to get that mixture on, get this concreted. We're just, we're waiting a call from Hughes Gray to see if the bricks are in stock. Because then Fairwoods have only got a third of what we need. Fairwoods don't have enough. So we need to find somewhere that's got enough for tomorrow, because obviously. Gray stone is very popular at the moment. Yeah. So fingers crossed that they got chose with some good news. And until then we're going to grab some, grab some supplies and we'll catch you, catch you back here. Right after a quick lunch. It's all going to live with them but I don't know if there's anything, yeah after a quick lunch we'll clean the van out. I'm going to get a ton of ballast in there. I'm going to get a seven cement there. And then we're off through the house with the stuff. Bit of a pain, but it needs to be done. So I'm off to Fairwoods, which is in the same village we're working now. So I shouldn't be long getting that. I'll get loaded up and that's going to get set up. The mixture's always round there ready. He's filling all the buckets up with water so then we can just spend the next couple of hours blasting the concrete in. So here we go. We shall see you in a bit. Right it is after lunch and I'm back. Dad's just gone to get the stone because we forgot to take the mixture out of course.  We've unloaded the mixer so we've got room for them to stone now. And yeah so I've just been getting everything as prepped as I can. I've got some ramp systems just to get the barriers in and out easy enough. I've tried to move some of this back a bit just so we can get the mixer around and get the concrete dumped in there. I've made a start leveling that up a bit more as well because looking it's going up a little bit as a bit of a hill. So I've just started to carve my way through it and make life a bit easier. I've got the laser set up. We picked that up while we swung past home so this will make things a bit easier getting the levels sorted. But yeah that's all I've really been doing to get it set up, all I really can do. So I'm going to start getting some buckets filled with water and then again just see if any more of that hill needs leveling out. But until then I'll see when Dad comes back. There's Alex. Two of those bags I've got holes in the bottom too. Let me push those top two off. Use the bottom two first. First butter us through the house. This is the only time I'll admit a stand would be handy. This is the only time and that's simply because we're working back to front here. We've got no skip so this is waiting to go in the skip tomorrow otherwise we'd have all this patio room to work. So we're just going to mix it, tip it in and work our way down as best we can. The sun's blazing now. Alex just checked it over the laser level. It's within two inches so we're just going to come through and level it like that. We'll start off at 100mm at the top and work our way through. So yeah we'll stick on time lapse as usual and then see you in a bit. There we have it. An actual foundation dug and concreted. An actual foundation. Oh yeah, here's now. Yeah, so you saw what was there so. It's behind you. That's already a vast improvement. So obviously we're going to let this dry. We still have yet to hear from Hughes Gray but I think Dad's going to get in touch with him again with me to find out if we can get these bricks for tomorrow.  Steady day yeah. Just not an idea having to go through the house from not ideal not having to skip because we've got a lot of work. We've got a couple of hours of hard work tomorrow. Yeah but you may do what you've got. So Thursday morning we're off back to the Thursday we're back to the extension job. To take the steels off the van.  Load them on the wall at least and then with the leftover stone that we have we can just dump that in the outer part of the backfill in. We're not building anything on it because we're away Thursday. We're away. We set off on that Thursday so. Right so there it is. If you liked it be sure to give it a thumbs up and if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe because that's always a massive help. We shall see you in the next video. Until then take care. I've already said that. See you next time.
