It's DDK, and I'm back today with another video. Shoots out to everybody too. And if you're already subscribed to my subscriber, give me a thumbs up. And do not skip those ads. It's September 8th. It's time for us to get to this bag. In this video, y'all see what's going on, baby. We about to do Amazon flat as well, baby. Today, we'll be doing our first five-hour batch. Our five-hour batch will be from 5.15 a.m. to 10.15 a.m. Guess how much we're gonna make? 150 pop in our color. So again, if you're already subscribed to my subscriber, give me a thumbs up. And do not skip those ads. And before we go, comment below and let me know where you think we're going today, baby. Or if we're going to downtown Chicago, comment below and let me know, baby. Be the way it go. It's time to go. Let's go. Look, we going towards home. We ain't going all the way to home. We going over there behind the park, in Buffalo Grove. I tell you guys, when we get in the car, baby, we gotta start hanging with the skates. We gotta get these bands. I'm glad we going towards the house. And I don't think it's that many apartments too. We about to go out. Hey, comment below and let me know how long you think it's gonna take. How many hours are going to take us to do this, baby? We got the car hanging in the bin. We got everything situated in a back seat. We about to run up like a track meet. We have 36 deliveries and 38 packages. And if you want it, you can have it. Our first delivery is 33 minutes away, 19 miles. We bought to go wild like Nick Cannon, baby. Hey, again, comment below and let me know how long you guys think it's going to take us to do this block. It is a five hours, it's supposed to be five hours, baby, but like that money shower. And me and my business partner became up with this theory, right? So, the first time we did Amazon Vlogs, she told us that if you get a five hour block, that it's gonna push you further away. So you're gonna just have more drive time. So, the theory is that it's possible that if we take five hour blocks, that it's gonna push us more towards home, more north. So, we're gonna try it out, we're gonna see what's happening. We're gonna try it out a few more times to see if we can go out to the end of time. And this one is actually going more north, but it's going like northwest. So, anyway, go, it still goes to the home, baby. But when we take the four and a half hour blocks, we end up in Chicago, downtown, and not playing around, baby. I'm on the first order to get in the order, you know what I'm talking about?  Let's go. Three, we already getting busy, I'm trying to be quiet, because last time, guess what, that dog's like, ha, ha, ha, you know what I'm talking about? Let me put it right here, jump like this high, step back, hit up the photos, let's go. Five now, baby. We are here to jump up order number five. We tried to jump up order number four to Whole Foods, but it was closed, so we could not drop it off. You know what I'm talking about? Step back, hit up the photos, smack, let's go.  I don't even know if these apartments on these sides, I think, I don't know, what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to go on this one. It doesn't say the apartment number though, oh, apartment number two. Step back, hit up the photos, smack, let's go. Dear, we in the clear. This is a very nice house, a very nice neighborhood. Jump like this high, step back to the photos, smack, we go. This hat is cake on whip, now it's size is four. Order number eight, we're trying to get to this cake, baby. This one actually has two packages. If you want it, you can have it, head up to Skanski, this drink got a little weight to it. So I'm gonna take both of this whole thing. I'm glad we got this thing. We're about to get this green. You know what I'm talking about? Nothing in between. We'll drop this drone off so we can get busy. So far it's been going pretty good. It's like the drive to each house is kind of longer though, like five or six minutes, rather than when we downtown, boom, boom, boom, boom, we're getting busy like that. So it's a little bit different.   Simmy cost a bit, let's 200. Order number nine, look at this, this is beautiful. I just wanna know, we are a kid, miss dog. Drop it like this high, let's go. Order number 10, we back at it again. This house is beautiful, all these houses are beautiful back here. Put it behind the plow pot, head up to the photos, smack, let's go. This is one of them, we haven't been getting it done. Oh, they up, they up already, they in. They got the door open, step back to the photos, smack, when we go to the door, they say come and get busy. Let's go. Well, weigh it up and put it on the scale.

Drop it like this high, step back to the photos, smack, let's go.   We already gettin' this green. This is the gated community, they'll please get off the property. This is the gated community, baby. We had to take the back way to get in, but I didn't look at the directions first, I tweaked. That's why it took us a little long to get here, but we're here, baby. We're here now. The old moves. Oh, let me put it right here. Step back in the photos, smack, let's go. Baby, I don't. Oh, they definitely already gettin' this dough. Y'all gotta see this house. This joint, this joint is crazy.

Good afternoon. My name is Christina Tessier, and I'm the Director General of the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Welcome to the launch of How Does Science Inspire You, a new national mural art contest led by the Canada Science and Technology Museum in collaboration with House of Paint. I have the pleasure of presenting to you a few guests of Mark, who are here with us to participate in the event today, notably the Honourable Melanie Jolie, Minister of the Canadian Heritage and Minister of the Science and Technology Museum of Canada. Dave McGinty, Member of Parliament for Ottawa South, Councillor Jean Cloutier, Ward 18, Alta Vista, Alex Benet, President and CEO of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, Patrick McCormick, Executive Director of the House of Paint Festival of Urban Arts and Culture, teachers and grade 7 and 8 students from Queen Elizabeth Public School here in Ottawa, as well as a number of representatives from the many companies that are supporting the renewal of the museum just behind us here, what you can't see behind this wall. A little later, we will open the floor to questions from the media and one-on-one interviews for those who are interested. Then we will take a tour of the museum's new virtual reality exhibition, which we will hear more about in a few minutes. Before asking Minister Jolie to come to the podium, I'd like to say a few words about the purpose of this contest. It's a creative and engaging way to help bring to life the change in our vision for the museum when it reopens in the fall of 2017. Creativity and the arts are often the inspiration for innovation and advances in science and technology. As part of our museum's renewal initiative, we are incorporating the creative spirit into our core themes of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM for short. In future, STEM will become STEAM in recognition of the emphasis the museum will place on the arts and the creative process within the science spectrum. What better way to explore our new vision than to ask young Canadians to share with us through art how science inspires them. It is my hope that everyone here today makes a point of visiting the museum when it reopens in late 2017. I guarantee you the experience will be a memorable one, an inspiration for all Canadians to explore innovations in science and technology in a dynamic, interactive and highly digital setting. Allow me now to introduce you to the Minister of Canadian Heritage, Melanie Jolie. Thank you all for being here. Thank you very much for being here. Special guests, ladies and gentlemen, and my fellow colleagues in front. I am very happy to be here today. It is always a pleasure, of course, to support the projects of our national museums and to support our young people, and also to be present in various places in Ottawa, including in the scope of the reconstruction of my colleague David McGuinty. And I am lucky today to participate in this major project, which is the new version of the Museum of Science and Technology in Canada. At the moment, the museum will receive a real healing care. These important works will end in 2017, and the museum will reopen just in time for the 150th anniversary of the Confederation. And that will be the case because the project will be on time and on budget. I just want to make sure that's very clear, Alex. Celebrating 150 years as a country means learning about our history and preserving it for future generations. The Canada Science and Technology Museum is a perfect example of preserving our past and encouraging innovation for the future. As Minister of Canadian Heritage and someone who believes in the power of art as a source of both inspiration and innovation, I really appreciate the museum's focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math, so the steam that propels progress. And we're about to see a perfect example of what this steam can produce as we will get a sneak peek of the virtual reality experience in the Moving and Connecting Gallery that will be on display when the museum reopens. But before we give this new technology a try, I must tell you that I'm pleased to officially launch the Canada Science and Technology Museum's new contest. How does science inspire you? And I think we have great examples before us today. I'm quite actually excited about this and not only that, impressed. Yeah, what do you think? This is extremely cool. It involves arts, artists, and young people. And the works produced will be the expression of what science inspires each participant. The young people of all regions of the country, including those among us today, have the opportunity to marry science and art in order to embody the panels that serve the site of innovation. Really, it's really a fantastic project and bravo to the team for having thought about it. Thank you very much. Thank you, Minister Jolie. I would now like to ask Alex Benet to say a few words. He's the president and CEO, and he reacted very well when I told him our team wanted to cover this wall with graffiti. Before starting, I'm happy to report to everyone that we are absolutely on time and on budget. We will have rave reviews in those three sentences or the sentences I tell myself every night before going to bed and every morning before I wake up. This is the rest of the team, frankly. Good morning, I'm happy to be here with you today, Madame Jolie, Christina, Mr. McCormick, Mr. McGinty, and Mr. Prussier. And I especially invite you to hear the students from Public School Queen Elizabeth. Thank you very much for being here today. It's extremely important for us for you to be a part of this process that we are undertaking here at the Canada Science and Technology Museums. The launch of our art contest today is part of an exciting milestone for the museum. As you know, and as you can tell, we're not open right now, and this is the beginning of our renewal for us. This is how we integrate your voices into our project, into your project. Our opening will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the museum and the 150th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada. An anniversary is always a good time to reflect on the past and also to reflect on our future. You being our future, we are here to serve you. We are here to make sure that you inspire us and that we inspire you in pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, arts, or math. You are our future, so thank you once again. So what you will see in this new museum when we reopen is a completely reimagined interpretation of our uniquely Canadian heritage in science and innovation. It's a thrilling look ahead at what science has in store for us in the future as well. And our collections will be transformed into a truly hands-on experience for all Canadians who visit, both in person and virtually as you'll get to experience with our virtual reality simulation a little bit later. The importance for us is to reach Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The ones that are lucky enough to be here and that get to visit in person is fantastic, but we want to make sure we reach youth and children in all corners of our great country.  So this time of renewal is an opportunity to broaden our traditional perspective and on the sources of inspiration for science, exploration, and discovery. And it's for these reasons that the museum has collaborated with House of Paint and its executive director Patrick McCormick. Patrick and his amazing team are going to encourage art instance students in the creation of a series of murals that are going to adorn the hoarding walls during the construction of the new museum and that are going to remain in place until the fall of 2017.  There's going to be three components to the mural. First part will be mural pieces that are designed by local artists and that are going to illustrate what science means to them. There will be a collaborative mural piece that will be created as part of a mentorship program between local artists and local youth. And there's going to be a recreation of the winning submissions from today's contest which is open to students across Canada, by the way. This is what our art contest is about. A celebration of the role that creativity and artists play in the innovation spectrum. The work of each artist on this mural will respond to the question, what inspires you in science? The response shows an evolution and an expansion of our vision to include creative and imaginative forces that feed on scientific innovations. It's also a chance to invite young Canadians, tomorrow's scientists, technology experts and artists to share their ideas with us and to play a role in our transformation. So here's how the contest is going to work because that's what everybody really wants to know about, right? So students between the ages of four and nineteen are going to be invited to submit a mural design through our website that illustrates how science inspires them. Submissions can be made individually or on behalf of a student class or a community group. The winning artwork is going to become part of the mural project that House of Paint is going to lead. So the contest section of the wall will showcase the winners by categories so by age and by popular vote. So the winners of each of the five categories will be selected at a technological price of $1,000 in the name of their school or community organization. In addition, the winners' names will be displayed on the website of the museum and each of them will receive a grant from House of Paint on the mural. When it is completed, what you will see is a depiction of our new vision for the museum, a place where science and arts meet, where inspiration translates into innovation. So I'm confident that our renewed museum on time and on budget will be a focal point for every Canadian interested in the sciences to explore both their rich heritage and their promising future, which we all share. So thank you very much for joining us today. Thank you very much. Thank you, Alex. When our team first started looking at this project, we quickly recognized it wasn't something we could do alone and so we decided we needed to find somebody locally that we could work with and I want to introduce you to that person and his team who will be overseeing the creation of the murals. Patrick McCormick is the executive director of the House of Paint, an Ottawa-based organization known for its festival of urban arts and culture, a hip-hop and urban arts event that takes place annually in Ottawa. Patrick has a personality in the field of the Ottawa Arts. He has supported and produced numerous artistic and graffiti projects, including the recent embellishment of the English-English church on the Benk Street in Ottawa. House of Paint has also implemented a few projects for the German embassy. Please join me in welcoming Patrick McCormick. All right. Well, thanks everyone for coming out. Thank you very much, Christina. It's an honor to be here to represent House of Paint and Ottawa's urban arts community. And also to represent Queen Elizabeth Public School. I am a grad. I won't say of what year, but it was quite some time ago. Actually, Queenie was my second school in Ottawa. I began at York Street Public, but only for like the last three weeks of grade seven when I moved here and did my grade eight year at Queenie. It's really good to see the young people from Queenie out here getting involved in this project. It's a really great look. I also wanted to mention that it's really an honor to be here personally and representing House of Paint as a connector in the community, just thinking about the different organizations that exist here and how we're able to be in the middle and connect our local arts community with youth from our community and with the support of the museum and Canadian heritage. It's really a great thing that we can be in the middle and help support a growing and thriving arts community and at the same time link that into other institutions that are so important for the development of our arts community for our young people and for our society in general. So I just wanted to mention that it's a great honor to represent House of Paint and to have the ability to connect all these different organizations and individuals to make a project like this happen. So when we think about the intersection of art and science, I was thinking about what am I going to say here? But then I thought hip-hop as far as an art form in a culture is really a great illustration of how innovation and new technology can help foster new art forms. So when we talk about the music aspects of hip-hop, very closely tied to the innovation of vinyl records and turntables. Without the turntable, the mixer and the vinyl record, hip-hop music and then in turn popular music as we know it today would not have existed. So it was with those instruments that the DJs began doing things like scratching, looping and then they really rewrote the history of popular music using these implements and then technology went further and the process has changed. But now we have the art of turntableism which a lot of people would equate to the playing of an instrument. So that's just one kind of example and then something that really kind of touches close to this project is the innovation of the spray can, spray paint can. Without the spray paint can, we would not have modern graffiti art. So we really see within all the elements and I could go further into the other elements of hip-hop culture and the art forms that we practice but we generally see that through those examples that that's a really good kind of living modern contemporary illustration of how technology and science really plays a role in influencing art and art can then push back to science and technology and ask for new innovation to help create the art that the artists want to communicate. So that's just a small example. And then as we move into the digital era now we have software that can emulate all of these things that we used to use all these different media for. Now it's moving into software and we're able to recreate so many of these things just through software emulation. So it's exciting to, you know, it's a great time as I guess software and emulation is moving so quickly. I think that's a huge part of science and technology and how that's relating to art and that's really the new frontier for a lot of people practicing so many different arts practices. So we have three kind of, I guess, steps to the mural and Alex touched on that a bit but I guess I'll get into it a bit more. The first component is that local artists have submitted in a call for proposals. So you will see most of the middle segment of the wall will be covered with murals that local artists from our community have basically been working on behind the scenes up till now and the painting will start actually on Monday. So that's a huge thing. The second component is the youth mentorship component and we actually have the two mentors and artists in the house right now so I'd just like to give them a shout out. We have Dominique Bovenue and Calcadana Sefa. They're at the back and they're really great people. They've worked with House of Pain before. They have a lot of great experience working with young people and really excited to have them on board. So that's going to get started as early as Monday and then the final component which is the reason for today is the launch of the national contest and I'm really excited that we, I was a surprise. I saw on the notes yesterday that we'd have some students from Queenie out so I think that's great as a launch for the contest. It's a great tie-in and just to reiterate people can enter the contest. Classes or individual students or community groups can enter the contest through the museum website and upload their submissions and it's really important to remember to keep your original artwork for anyone who's maybe pushing those messages out there to remind folks to keep their original artwork because we may need that in the translation process to make sure that their artwork is, we do it justice when we translate it to the walls of the museum. So that's, I guess it opens today and it closes on the 20th I believe, am I correct with that, of May. So we have like the 20th till the 20th to go and that's the duration of the project. We really look forward to inviting everybody out to translate those final winners of the contest onto the mural wall. We'll have a community jam which will be led by more of our local artists in our community and we'll get people out here. Hopefully we'll have some great weather like today. We'll have some tunes playing. We'll probably have some b-boys and b-girls doing some dance demonstrations, a little picnic and we'll get the community out and we'll collaboratively paint those winners of the national contest onto the section of the walls over here. So really looking forward to that I think we can encourage everyone to come back out for that. We'll release some more information about that when the time comes up. So I'd just like to thank everyone involving House of Pain in this for being here today. I'd like to thank the students and the staff from Queen E for being part of this because I really want to big that up. Special shout out to Queen Elizabeth Public School. And yeah, I'd like to thank definitely all the staff at the museum for reaching out and getting House of Pain involved in this. I think it's a great way to show solidarity between our national institutions that we have here in Ottawa and our local arts community. So thank you very much and everyone have a great day. Thank you Patrick. He'll tell us all about the way science will inspire the participants of the contest. Finally, I also wish good luck to the students here who are ready to submit their drawing. We would now be happy to take questions from the media. We have a microphone here at the back from a member of the media. If you could please identify yourself and to whom your question is directed. So we have a microphone here at the back for the media. Please introduce yourself as well as the person to whom you would like to ask your question. Please keep your question to one question to follow up. Would you like to keep your question? Two questions only. Thank you. That was easy. That was easy. I think I'm going to ask you a question. Go ahead. First, on today's event for Mr. Can you tell us a little bit what is the idea behind this contest for the young French-English people for CBC Radio Canada? Yes, absolutely. The big idea for us is that we are in a community in which we are proud to be. We believe that we have a good representation of the country and the youth. Through the country, we are in an environment where there are people who come from all over the world who are a very good representation of the country. So we wanted to find a way to involve people in a creative aspect to be able to bring out a little bit of the cultural influence we have within our community and within our country. So in English, we're in an area of town that we are extremely happy to be in because of the multiculturalism aspect. We feel that this is a neighbourhood that represents the true values of Canada and we wanted to get a way to get some of that multiculturalism out from our youth and participating into what is their museum ultimately because we are an institution that takes great pride in youth engagement as well. So what better way than to have them participate and show their creativity and the biggest stage we have currently and the other part of this is our wall when we're done will be a projectable surface as well. So we clearly anticipate continuing to do some of this work on the digital projection when we're done as well as an engagement for youth. So. Thank you. I have a question for the Prime Minister. Jolie, you told us that we were talking about 2017 the opening. There are a lot of events that are linked to 2017. Mosaics and culture, where are we? Two months ago, you told us that the announcement was imminent. Yes. The financing will be announced when? I'm happy to announce that there is a financing of 5 million that will be given to us. For us, it is important that the project is accessible and therefore our financing is linked to the fact that the project is accessible and therefore free to the population. Thank you. Hello. I guess this concludes the event. Thank you very much. We're now going to move to... So for the media, you're certainly welcome now to take photos in front of the hoarding wall and with the students who are also available for one-on-one interviews. In just a few moments, it will be important for us as Ministers Joliet towards the beta version of the museum's new virtual reality locomotive experience. Thank you, everyone. Have a great afternoon.


So about a couple weeks ago, I was reacting to a video of NBA 2K. They showed up at the Apple Keynote in Brooklyn where they were showing off the all-new iPad Pro third generation. They were talking about how such great graphics and they were showing off the new and improved NBA 2K mobile app. Alright, uh, so it's sold out everywhere and I don't really want to wait two months to make this video. I have an iPhone. Let's get it. This is good. This is good. I can tell it's going to be a great experience. Welcome to NBA 2K. What should I call you? How about Beamstar? I like that. Listen man, it goes without saying that Raptors is winning the Eastern Conference this year. Let's go ahead and choose those guys. Let's get you some players for your my team. Just open up the packs. Nice. Can we get DeMorda Rosen? DeMorda. DeMorda. Playing my team right now? What is this? Oh, so you got to put your players through drills to help improve them. I understand. Oh my God. Why are we playing on broadcast? Is that the only way to play? Alright, hold up. Agent, relax. Do have some respect. Michael Jordan is trying to give me some tips. Tap and hold the shoot button to take a shot. Release the button when the line is at the top of the meter for better accuracy. Simple. Oh my God, I just half-barded. Take another shot. Even if you release the ball at the best time, it still might not go in. Come on, bro. Mike, stop playing with the sliders, my guy.  Sometimes you might want the game to be a little bit more automated. In that case, you can tap the manual button to switch it to auto mode. You can still pass, block, steal, and shoot. You can also switch it back to manual at any time.  Alright, hold on. They're putting me in the thing now. Listen, the graphics actually aren't too bad. I'm kind of impressed. I'm going to pass the ball. Hold on. There's no real way to do dribble moves. Yo, the graphics is pretty solid. Oh my God, what the... I did not think I would be sitting here. And in any way... Game time to collect your awards. What are you doing? It was like two seconds. Wow. Where do I start? Now, this game itself is free to play, so I reckon that they have to make money somehow and they're going to have some sort of my team currency they'll be selling for sure. And I mean, I can respect that. You know, it's not like a 2K, $19, $60 game. And then on top of that, you're adding all these microtransactions. In this case, the only way the game will survive is with microtransactions. The game is free. Alright, so check this out. You unlock players in packs and then you can develop the players, I guess, by clicking the train button. Okay, let's just try it, man. Let's see how it goes. Hey, can I be honest with y'all? I was hopping on this thinking to myself, why are they spending time on this? First, I get in and the graphics are actually pretty decent. And this is on the iPhone. I reckon the iPad one will be even better. The controls aren't as abysmal as I thought they were going to be. What am I doing? Do I just, oh, do I go get the ball or... I got a green! I shot a green, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, so the thing that's going to take the longest to get used to is definitely the joystick. I think I understand why they were advertising this game on the iPad Pro because on the iPhone, there just is not enough space on it to make it a usable experience. If I was headed somewhere and I had like 70% battery, I most definitely would not be wasting any of that battery on playing this game for sure. But the iPad, you know, is big and strong and beefy and it probably has a better battery life. And so if I was carrying one of those around and I was on an airplane or something where I really couldn't watch videos or do anything else productive with my time, yeah, I could see myself playing it, man. You might be wondering, agent, how do they make money from an app like this? Now, my team is a very unique app in that you need very little effort to get a lot of reward for playing it. So all you have to do is like take 10 seconds out of a developer's day to add in a card. And then people spend millions and millions of dollars trying to get that card. And so for very little time, you get very high reward. And so if I'm creating a game specifically based off of micro transactions, yeah, it'd be a my team game. And on top of all of that, this is new. There's literally a button you can click to watch ads. I'm watching ads right now. And I reckon I'm going to get some empty for doing it. It's pretty loud. I hope you can hear me over all the scruffful. They literally have a mode called season. The big rewards are at the finals. You get to the finals by winning regular season games and the conference finals. Thanks, Mike. I had no idea. The first game is already in progress, so get in there and win. You're telling me I'm late to our first game? Great. Pause. This is the whole season. Game one, then the conference finals. Then he was being very literal. There is nothing in between. Equip a wristband to increase your player's chance of making three-point shots. Realistic. And also another way for them to make money.  Yo, can we pause for a moment? These guys at NBA 2K are machines at making money. There is no avenue in the corner of the earth where there is a possibility to make money in which they're not already making money. It doesn't matter how bad the product is, they're still making money, man. It's crazy. All right, so let's check it out. Pass. Let's use the joysticks. Now, this is what I'm talking about. The graphics are pretty solid. The dribble moves are very difficult to control because there is a lot of latency. Okay, I'm going to pass it here. You can't really run plays. You're doing anything like that. I'm fumbling with the ball a whole lot Toledovich. I don't know why Toledovich was in the post. He was about to put in bare work in the low post. Okay, hold on. Pull up agent. Pull up agent. Half bar. Ports. Ports. Money! Yeah, this game was designed for iOS, but it was not designed for the iPhone. This small-ass screen. It feels weird. I'm used to playing on giant screens and monitors to play on a screen this small. I almost have to squint to see what I'm looking at. Hold on. We got some sauce here. Hold on. All white. Oh, come on. This should be rookie difficulty. All right. Let's try auto. We pushed it to auto mode, which I think means that they're going to play defense for us. I can click the character I want to use her and then just click the steal button. And then they're going to do it all by themselves. What is the point of that? There is no point of playing a game where they do everything for you. I can literally keep my hands off of this and just click on the guy I want to use her and spam the steal button. And I eventually will get this deal I was looking for. This is incredibly overpowered. I could definitely feel my phone starting to get hot.  Here we go. Half bars. There's only two quarters and the game is over. So we won that game, which I think means that we can move on to the conference finals. We made it, guys. We finished the season, ladies and gentlemen. We've made it. Now, let's make some Raptor history and pass the conference finals. I probably put it in auto so I can spam steals. Okay, switch it back to manual. I'm getting pretty good at this, ladies and gentlemen. Kick it up one more time. Here we go. I got good positioning. Inside, yo. Oh, my God. I feel like it'd be really weird controlling on an iPad. I don't know. I don't think NBA 2K is meant to be played on anything other than a console. Even on the PC version of the game, they literally beg you to use a controller because they know the game is not optimized properly. Oh, my God. Everything is hitting. To use you're the guy closest to the ball, you just click defend. I kind of like that. So you don't have to actually click on the player. That makes sense. Contested. Brick. That's Mozgov on the rebounds. What do you think of this garbage-ass game, bro? 2K knows 19 is broken. There's a lot of things wrong with it. But they chose to spend time on this, man. Touch my phone. Is it hot? I feel like it's about to explode any second now. Pass it up, pass it up, pass it up. Easy buckets on the fast break. Come on now. He bumped into him. Is it like one minute quarters? How does it end so quick? I played one quarter and it was over. Hold on. Kick back, dude. Let's watch some ads. Oh, this is one of my favorite ads. I've seen this one 12 times today. Wild! Huge win, baby! One billion dollars. Okay, we're giving these guys too much ad play. Okay, okay. Yeah, sure. All right, so let's get off that for a second. We know you can get drills to upgrade your players. Apparently they have leagues and seasons. Let's check out the store, ladies and gentlemen. So there's a free pack available. Let's grab that. I love free stuff. One of my favorite things on Earth is just free things. All right, man. Give me a gold player. That was the pack. That was the free pack. Yo! So you can buy packs. You can... Oh my God, they got coins? What? 140 dollars. Who in their right mind? And you can buy leagues. Oh, these are the collectibles. I got the Eastern Conference one a few times already. Hey, honestly, if this was regular 2K, I'd be angry about stuff like this. But because the game is free to play, they have a little bit more leeway. They could act a little bit more recklessly when they're playing. They could act a little bit more recklessly when it comes to microtransactions you understand because that's the whole way they make money. All right, if I was to rate this app, I would rate it a negative 3 out of 10 because I wouldn't spend my time on it. There was no way you would use your time to play an app on your phone if you were at home, right? You could just pop up your PS4 or Nintendo Switch or whatever console you have. So the only time you'd be playing this is if you were outside and you needed to play mobile. But in that case, Nintendo Switch is literally the perfect console. Or if you're old school, you can get yourself a Vita, right? So I'm just trying to think to myself why would I play this game outside of video purposes? I guess I'm the wrong crowd for it. Maybe I just don't understand it because I don't play other mobile games at all. I don't know, man. Listen, there's a lot of money to be made in the mobile department for sure. This app right here takes very little effort to continuously update. And if they get people hooked on it, coming back, coming back, coming back, they can stand to make a whole lot of money from the app. I understand why they did it. But, here's what I'll say. Could we just bring those developers and get them to fix 2K19 real quick? And the second, the second, the second 2K19 is fixed. Yo, we can bring them right back to start working on the app. I guarantee it. This app is a disappointment. I watched Troy Dine's video and he was playing the Android version and it somehow looked even worse. Yo, if you guys enjoyed the video, make sure to drop a like, subscribe to the channel. If you missed the video, while I was reacting to the announcement of all of this, I'll drop a link in a card above and in the description. I'll catch you guys later. I'm out. Peace.


When the narcissist loses the real one. When the narcissist loses someone who fulfilled the every need. Someone who is successful. Someone who has lots of money. Someone who is desirable and attractive. Someone who would have done anything for the narcissist. While tolerating their dysfunctional behaviors. While not questioning or confronting them. But they still got rid of you. Or maybe you left because you had enough of them. Whatever it was, the relationship didn't work out. Even though you had everything that they were looking for. And many people think that must mean that the narcissist never really valued them. They never appreciated you. And that is true. They're never grateful for anything you do for them. But if you think of an appliance you've used. Whether it's a car or a television. Have you ever bought a new one. And realized that it wasn't as good as the one you had before.  Over the one you just bought. That is how narcissists experience people.  You're just an object that exists to meet their needs. You're supposed to provide conveniences for them. You're supposed to regulate their emotions. You're supposed to see them as being perfect. Regardless of what they do to you. And when you do that. They see you as being the real one. Because when everyone took off. You still remained beside them. You still validated the illusion. But that's all the narcissist is going to miss. They're going to miss the conveniences you provided for them. They're going to miss how you made them feel. They don't really regret losing you. They can't accept that they made a fault or mistake. Whether you leave them or they leave you. They still see it as though there's something wrong with you. The narcissist will never hold themselves accountable for their actions. Some narcissist may apologize to you. They may even tell you that they regret the decision. But that's just designed to manipulate you. They're just doing it to control you. And although they may miss the conveniences you provided for them. And how you made them feel. They're just waiting for the next new thing to come along. It's like they always want the latest iPhone. They don't want the old iPhone 6. Because it's outdated. It's not as good or as useful as something more or no more recent. Even if they hoover you and love bomb you. It's not because they really want you. They just want to keep you under their control so that they can get supply. So that they can get whatever conveniences you have to offer. You mean nothing to them as a person. Narcissists can display an intense but short lived passion or admiration for you. And they will give you excessive and insincere praise. But this is only to further their own interests. They're designed to operate in this way. Because that will then get them supply. They will put you on a pedestal.  They will tell you whatever they think you want to hear. Whatever they think will get you back under their control again. Because really. They just see you as an object. They just see you as someone who exists to meet their needs. Whatever they said to you. They've probably said that to someone before you. And they will say it to someone after you. No one ever had the Narcissist and no one ever will. It was just your turn. When the Narcissist is love bombing their new supply. They may call them the real one. They may say that they're their soulmates. But then it is a matter of time. Until they devalue them. That is when they may return to you.  They will say that you are the one they were supposed to be with. And many people fall for this. When really they're just being manipulated again. They're just entering another cycle of abuse. You're only the real one as an object. They only care about supply. They only care about the conveniences you bring to them. They do not care about you. They're never going to self reflect. Or realise what they've done. Narcissists do not self reflect. They do not regret anything. They will pretend like they're sorry. They will pretend to be empathic. But that's only to get you back. That's only to get you to return to them. They will never come to the conclusion that if they didn't treat you in a certain way, they would still be with you. They will never come to that awareness. They will never look back. And think that they've lost the real one. Their narcissism will not allow them to think that way. They will only look at it as though they've got rid of the problem. They will see it as though you've deceived them. You led them to believe something that was not true. And they will think that they did the right thing by getting rid of you. They will never look back and think that they've lost the real one. They might hoover you to get fuel. But they're never going to regret anything they've done. They're never going to think that they've lost someone who is special or unique. They will only hoover you to control you. They just see you as an appliance. As an object that exists to meet their needs. And they see it as though you have no right to leave them. The narcissist does not regret the decision. They do not believe that they've lost the real one. They might say that they have. But that's just to manipulate you. That's not how they feel. They will never think that they should have treated you better. They will never see it as though they did anything wrong. Even if they don't have any supply. They're not going to be reflecting on anything they've done. They're not going to be thinking about how they've hurt people. They're not going to think that their behaviour was the problem. They will either be focused on the present moment. They will be thinking about what people have done to them. They will be feeling sorry for themselves. And the suffering and misfortune that they believe they experienced. But they're never going to think that they made a fault or mistake. Their narcissism will not allow them to think that way. No narcissist is ever going to reflect on anything that they've done. They're never going to feel bad for anyone. They're just going to look down on you. And see it as though they got rid of the problem. The narcissist will not recognise that you are the real one. Their narcissism will not allow them to see that. They have to see you as the problem. They have to see you as the bad guy in order to function. They can't self reflect. So someone else has to be at fault. Someone else has to be the problem. If you look at all of the conveniences you provided to the narcissist. And how you made them feel. You should realise that you are the real one. You are the one that would have stayed by their side. From the moment the narcissist begins devaluing you. Everything that was once good about you now becomes bad. They can no longer perceive anything good about you. All they can see is faults, flaws and imperfections. Even if there was a perfect person walking the earth. At that point all the narcissist would see is something defective. Because they have to see you this way in order to function. They have to see it as though they got rid of the problem.  You're either all good or all bad. You're either with them or you're against them. So the narcissist does not regret losing the real one. They just see it as though they got rid of the problem. And you should not waste your time trying to show them that they've lost something real. You need to recognise your own worth. You should take your good qualities and share them with someone who can see it. Other than trying to share them. With someone who is unable to see past their own negative view themselves. They're never going to come to the conclusion that they've lost the real one. They're never going to see it as though they've made a fault or mistake. Because they have to be in control. You would be wasting your time trying to convince them that you're the real one. They're just going to reject what you're saying. They're going to feel and express contempt and disdain for you. They're going to feel like you're worthless and beneath their consideration. And in their minds that's winning. If they can make you feel angry or upset. If they can make you feel invalidated like you don't even exist. If they can irritate you. You've lost by going no contact and then interacting with them again. It's just going to resurface your intense emotions. And then you've lost because it's just a game to the narcissist. Love does not exist in their world. You're either a convenience or a problem.

Confusion, I think Carrie had dueling combos with Pepper and with Bryn and I guess Pepper thought the meeting was canceled. Bryn thought you were studying for Carrie and we were going to try and have a conversation still just considering that we haven't had one in a while. So you know, I think this is a, are you recording now? No, yeah. Okay. Let's start the recording. Okay. Okay.  All right. We're getting that rolling. Okay. All right. Do we have an agenda that I'm supposed to be looking at or is it one topic, a recap where we are and what we're going to do going forward? I think that, I think that that works because I don't think that there is a formal agenda at the last. No, I didn't use agenda. Yeah. I don't think anybody gave me an agenda and this is kind of. Yeah. To nobody's fault, you know what I mean or anything like that, but in the room we have Nellie Marble and Kyle Harris from the cannabis control board. We have one member of the public listening in, Kim Lawson, advisory subcommittee member, Stephanie Smith, also advisory subcommittee or advisory member of filling in for Cary Gere today who is double booked and we have Sherman Hong who has provided a lot of comments to the board given his background and expertise in lab testing and he was invited to listen in and to provide any comments. Kim, so thank you Sherman for being here. I'm going to turn it over to you Kim. I know it's just kind of an update on where things stand that would be very, I think helpful. We're hoping to have some understanding of where things are for our board meeting on Friday and help kind of go along with the phase one of our scheduled proposed rulemaking plan that we're hoping to develop over the course of this coming year or excuse me this coming month. So I, you know, I'll start but I think Stephanie can probably fill me in better than I know because it was kind of left in Cary's hand that we agreed that marrying or with a few adjustments the hemp program as has the department of the agency of AG is doing, they will continue on that vein as I understand. Is that correct Stephanie? Yeah, my understanding is that the agency's cannabis quality control program set up would apply and I guess relative to action limits and the one, what I understand is that maybe the standard operating procedures for taking samples may change or would not be the same but they would not be the same as the hemp program is necessarily. Does that sound, and I'm referring back to Kim, does that sound accurate? That is correct because we recapped because we figured as I got from Cary the hemp program as it's working is doing well and I think, you know, there's a lot of, we put a lot of trust in the agency in terms of auditing and ensuring that we're getting data of some known quality and that the agency laboratory has stepped up to the plate with regards to their programs to help with the analyses and things like that. I'm not sure where the certification programs for getting other labs into the program is at this point in time and whether, I mean I personally highly recommend that they go to some kind of ISO 17025 accreditation rather than the agency accrediting because it is, it's hard to keep track of, you know, if we don't have a standard set of, you know, quality standards. Yes, so let me at least share a little bit about the agency certification program. So the certification program as it's being applied currently is we do require ISO 17025 accreditation or at least working towards that accreditation because we know that there are some labs that aren't actually accredited at this point in time and it's a fairly big lift. If you're not currently accredited then we limit your testing capabilities and I'm talking specifically about the hemp program. We limit your testing to potency and moisture and maybe pesticides and that would be on crops. Actually, no, you would be able to test potency in a finished product as well, but it's limited what you can test. You can't do mold and mycotoxins, aerobic bacteria, you can't do pesticide, no solvent analysis. So, it's, anyway, it's limited and you have to be working towards it though so it doesn't mean that you're not, you know, you got to start moving and if after a year there's no progress then, you know, we would consider the facts around why there's no progress and maybe make a determination whether or not we would allow you to renew your certification with the agency. And so, so we do require that 17025. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And then additionally, the certification program looks at how you're reporting the information out in order for us to have some consistency from lab to lab to lab and also to be in compliance with USDA's requirements because we have that added layer. We require reporting on as packaged for products. We want to make sure or try to establish in Apple's Apple's comparison regardless of the lab that's doing the analysis.  But it's fairly, it's fairly quick, you know, we're ground to thinking also we felt that it would provide, I mean, not only can an individual complain to ISO certification folks concerning that lab's ability to reform, they also have somebody in the state that they can report to because we've certified them. And sometimes that conversation can be easier and then we can also work with the accrediting agency as well, we can have conversations with them to establish what's going on, I guess. We also require some proficiency testing by those labs that are certified by us and organizations do as well very recently, so I'm not entirely sure. Yeah, no, that's all I, you know, the summary of that is really excellent, thank you. I knew there was some on the hemp side, but I wasn't sure where we were going on all of the cannabis side, you know, the, well, I knew there was some on the medical marijuana side as well, yeah. Okay, yeah, public safety requires or doesn't require relative to testing. What I do know is that the cannabis quality control program authorizing legislation does include cannabis and cannabis products, and so currently our action limits apply to those products despite us not being the regulatory authority. Right, so that's a good recap, and then the standard operating procedures, I don't know where that's at. Kerry said he was going to do it, if he needed help, he was going to let me know. Okay, okay, we do, on our website we do have, I guess it depends on at what point, you know, like are we tested, we're probably only testing product, I guess it's an open question whether or not the cannabis control board will require only testing of final products and not necessarily earlier in the stage, you know, like obviously businesses can have business agreements to do testing so that they can formulate products and they can require that products go through certain tests so that they're clean when you're making a product, but are we only testing final products for all of these action levels and leaving the business relationship to deal with what's before the final product? I thought there was going to be some randing testing of flour and that, yeah. Okay, that's entirely possible, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, that the agency would do during their audit process of the, you know, on site as they were looking at, as they were looking at, as these suppliers were sending their product to, per sale, that should get done at some point in time. Okay, I don't know, it was based on your audits that you were going to start off or what your program for auditing was going to be set structured as? Yeah. So you are hiring new auditors and things like that? So the agency does, we do inspections and we touch approximately 20% of our registrations on a, registrants on a given year and that inspection includes review of records. So we operate under a trust but verify system and we make sure that they're, you know, we evaluate whether or not they're doing the right testing and whether or not their results are accurate and if they're not, you know, what our next steps are with respect to that, sometimes you can mitigate or remediate a crop if, you know, and it can go through additional testing as it gets further processed. So anyway, we address the facts of the situation. We provide compliance assistance through letters and then we follow up with those registrants that otherwise have had issues because our goal is compliance. Is people meeting the agency where we are relative to our regulations? The sampling procedures. So we do have the standard operating or we have procedures for sampling both in the field, which is based on USDA's, which isn't necessarily applicable to candidates. And then we also have a process concentrate and obviously package products, you know, we would just grab those off the shelf or not grab, but we would take them as packaged. But in order to get a consistent sample of a larger volume of material, we have written a process for that specifically as it relates to hemp. So I just wanted to offer that. Yeah, I've read those. Yeah, I've seen those and you talk about, you know, incremental sampling and providing in terms of getting a representative sample, there's some, you know, randomness associated with how you're doing that. And that's just as extra important when you get to recreational marijuana. But they do, you know, there is batch, I mean, I'm not sure how much there's batch processing of recreational marijuana that has to happen prior to it even getting to a shelf, you know, for sale. And I think that, you know, we talked about it some, but not really in much detail. Yeah. And I don't know, like, if it's going to, you know, certainly there is value in evaluating for contaminants, the concentrate level program, because we just, we want, we try to establish at which point made the most sense. And because individuals are generally, when they register, they register as both growers and processors. So in many instances, they're in control of everything along the spectrum that they can kind of pick and make a decision as to when it is most cost effective for them to test. And then again, the overlay of USDA, which addresses potency, which we don't have much choice on. So we, so we do have a little bit of flexibility in there for those individuals that are in control of every step along the process. I think in a cannabis world where there will be manufacturers or processors that are creating the concentrates that may be sold to another individual or another business who makes final products. I think Adam, if the cannabis control board wants to fill the void to ensure that what's transferring between those two entities meets certain standards, they could require testing of a concentrate before it gets sold to the next step in the level, next step in the process. But it could also be the business relationship, you know, it could be the business business relationship where the person's purchasing is making the concentrate producer to do those tests that they're insured of getting something that's of a specific quality, quantity, potency, so that they can formulate their products too. So anyway, it just depends on how the board wants to set that up. But if that doesn't make sense, then I, you know, I would please share other ideas about that. You know, like sometimes I get my mind set on a particular spectrum of work and there's probably other potential ways that it can go. So I would appreciate any additional comments from others. So can I ask a question? What do you feel, because hemp isn't necessarily smoked the way that flour will be smoked on the recreational level, where, I mean, as I understand the percentage of maybe flour that's tested is very different in the amp world than it is in the recreational world, correct? Yeah, I mean, that's, that's possible. We actually have a pretty, in Vermont, a number of our producers do grow for flour to create pre-rolls, a smokable product. And so we do, you know, that's a shorter process, obviously, like you're trimming, that's probably it. We do require testing for contaminants before it goes to market for a flour product, because that, because that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm mostly concerned with pesticides, you know, and are they being required to produce, you know, and if they had a pesticide detection, would you be notified? Or is it upon yourself to find that notification? Or do they send you results? I, we don't receive results on a regular basis to confirm. We do have action limits for pesticides that would have to be tested for prior to a smoke, and they would have to meet our action limits before that smokable product would make it to market all off the top of my head whether or not we require a notification on that if it exceeds the limits. I, I know we do for, I think we do for flour. I know we do for potency. Yeah, I know you have to do for potency, but I wasn't sure if there was any notification for pesticides, or could it fall through the cracks that it just gets out there. Part of what the HEP program does, certainly the cannabis control board could require the information for review prior to products making it to shelves.  Yeah, I, because I know, I know even right now with pro with potency in products that are on the shelf, there is a place on the label that says you can call this lab to get the actual test. So, I mean, I've done that before. I've called the lab and actually got results from some lab in Massachusetts. It was Kabucha that was on the shelf in hunger mountain co-op, and we were curious, you know, because it said on the label, oh, this is approximately below the level for potency. But if you want to get the result, you can call this, call this facility. This lab. Well, that's interesting. And the lab sent me the results. Sent you the results. Yeah, I mean, that's putting the information sharing is outside of the regulatory agency. Yeah. And that could be a marketing thing from a company perspective, but that doesn't, you know, but that same idea could be applied with the cannabis control board. Unless the board had requirements for labs to report results based on batch or process lot numbers in association with the issuance of their registration for the cannabis control board, it would be, it would have to be a requirement for that communication to occur. And that, I don't, you know, I don't know the willingness of labs to provide that information. They may feel that they have a client relationship. Yeah, client privilege relationship.  Yeah, yeah. And it also puts the burden on the lab to provide that information to make you available, like whether or not the cannabis control board wants to be the one that's in charge of that based on process lot numbers, you know, like, yeah, or could be part of a label review, like that's another thing. We don't do that in the hemp program, but as a part of a label review, you could require both the label and all documentation that testing was completed by process lot number to be made available to the CCB and that product registered with the CCB before it actually makes it to the shelf. And that would be a way for that review to take place. And if you don't do that in the hemp program, but that is certainly something that, you know, the CCB could assemble. I see Sherman's hands up. I also want to say that we have discussed putting a QR code on on a label that can link to, you know, the full panel suite of tests that a product is on. Nice. Nice. Go ahead, Sherman. Well, yeah. Thank you very much. One of my responsibilities in medicinal and general analysis to read regulations from as many states as I can. And the one thing that I have noted is that most, but not all states require that whatever batch is being tested is held until the certificate of analysis is completed. And that if there is any analyte in which the action level has been exceeded, it's required by rules that the laboratory reports it to the regulatory agency so that some action can be taken. The second point is that I've also noted that some regulatory agencies through their seed to sale tracking system, every certificate of analysis from every laboratory is submitted. Now, of course, it all depends on funding for the regulatory body and the personnel that you have. But one issue in many states is a concept called lab shopping, especially in the cannabis world. And so real time analysis or as frequently as you can is to look at the certificate of analysis and see the failure rate and all kinds of things and that you can catch laboratories that are definitely not doing the right thing. So this is a couple of comments to start with and also concerning PT programs or proficiency testing programs for hemp programs and cannabis programs. There are issues since the cannabis is a more complex chemically than hemp in terms of the higher levels of cannabinoids and so forth and so on. I have issues with PT programs utilizing hemp as a specimen sample and I know that because it's federally illegal for cannabis it's so much harder to have PT programs using cannabis as your sample type. So there's a lot of things to really consider. Yes. On that front, I guess maybe it's not that Vermont is relatively small to our four corners of the state and we do have a lab and we actually started a process and I'm just thinking out loud here. I can't commit our lab to anything but we had started a process of creating an interlaboratory study where we would create the homogenized sample within our lab and then because it was going to be hemp we were going to use US mail and ship it out to the labs because we were interested in participating and then we would just look and see on the curve as to where everybody sat and then we would also request some information regarding their processes and samples to see if we can dial in what might actually be a better process. Maybe I'm representing that not entirely accurately. I actually don't work in a lab and so I apologize if I'm talking outside my scope of understanding. So what I hear you saying is you're going to actually create the PT samples that the lab is looking into creating the proficiency testing sample for hemp. So we didn't want to say it was a proficiency test. It was an interlaboratory study because there I think proficiency test meant a very specific thing that we probably were not able to achieve but we were still going to do a survey or you know amongst labs that existed with a homogenized sample to begin with. Yes. Yes. Right. There's a certain ISO certification that an organization must have one seven oh four three to be able to have a proficiency program and the only company that has a cannabis based proficiency proficiency testing program is a company named Fanova. They have one staff his name is Ty Garber and so states make contracts with Fanova. He flies to one of the governmental laboratories in that state. Then cannabis is procured. He has a way of mixing and matching and he's created what PT's for cannabinoids and infesticides and metals. He hasn't quite gotten microbials and he's out on extended leave not because I wanted to ask him what he was going to bring online and microbial one but I'm sure that's very expensive because once he makes the test blind samples he actually has to transport them in his own vehicle to different laboratories and so I've been in the game since 2011. So I thought Absolute had it also. They don't have them. I thought I know they advertise that they do. I think that what we are really looking at whole regulatory landscape the PT's and they advertise it but they are hand samples. That's not the same thing. I come from the diagnostic world from the clinical chemistry with DOH and so we're used to getting specimen or sample types that mimic what we actually test in our laboratory. I was with the end on New Jersey Department of Health for 20 years and so I expect the same thing eventually for the cannabis space. So many individuals that are writing these regulations without thinking through everything they just write rules like it's a mature industry and it isn't but I'm just trying to point these things out and participate in the dialogue and make point these things out because it's causing problems for our company. We're based utilizing molecular technologies and all the PT's like an NSI therefore plating and auger plating puts us at the greatest advantage. We're just trying to make a level playing field that's all. Thank you. Do you have any questions that I'm missing? Again I just want to make you guys have information that you need and if you wanted to ask questions from that I can provide answers from the hemp world perspective. No I appreciate you being here. I know you can only answer with no. I would say just just Kim for your reference I think we need to move and carry there's multiple times where Stephanie had said if the CCB wants to do this if the CCB wants to do that I'm trying to take notes on on those specific inflection points but just as we've done in other subcommittees it would be great to get a recommendation from this subcommittee on those specific points and how we should approach certain things just because you know three of you and Kerry are really the quote-unquote experts as it relates to this and I feel like I don't want to be making a decision without a recommendation on how to proceed you know what I mean? Well and yeah and so one of the items that I heard that I may have said that related to and I think Sherman actually offered you know through review of multiple regulations requiring a staff person at a regulatory staff person to review all the COAs prior to a project hitting a product hitting the shelf based on that process lot number so while I mean that sounds amazing like you would have the review and compliance would have to be achieved before something hit the shelf and that's probably a rigorous process that needs staff so while you know what that seems like a great recommendation there's there's this other piece of people that you know that in volume of products that I don't know that I could that I would be able to provide way in on I guess is you know where it also comes into play but maybe there's like if we took a step back what's if that didn't happen because it required a couple of people or what that process looks like we actually don't know what that process looks like is there something that's not quite as rigorous but provides the same a similar level of review or enough eyes to to make both the consuming public and the regulated community step up and I so I'm asking that question I don't really answer but I'm wondering if Sherman has any suggestions oh yeah this is this this is you know I I'm from government I understand okay I really do and you got to start where you can but eventually you might want to consider what they did in Washington in Nevada it was more of a retrospective there was a laboratory scientist under the state of Washington who requested through the public information hacks in each of those states to be able to after it was all the information was de-identified but at least it said lab A lab B so forth and so on able to get let's say six months worth of COAs then he had a way to analyze it so he broke through in the state of Nevada and he noted that one particular laboratory over that period of time did not fail a single sample while the average of failure rate was 10 percent for all the other laboratories so that says something so then there was an investigation of that laboratory but nothing about and then certain and then there was like an average THC level and so there would be certain labs that had three or four percent more on the average so what's going on here so these are the pieces it's like deep mining to see trends and possible gaps because you want to have the good players really by the testing to protect the public I come from public health you know so that's what I was talking about in you know I got into regulations as a hobby at the Department of Health it wasn't assignment and to make this compending and then updated five times for all the states that had rules for testing they compiled and did observational and gap analysis and and the point that you made about the concentrate this is just your example that might be processed by one company and would then be transferred to another company to make like an infused product you know one might want to consider testing that before it's transferred and not make it a business business relationship because we did it like the gap analysis for pesticides and we did the best we could to go through the literature uh pure reviewed literature non pure reviewed literature and from government documents to find every pesticide that had been identified that had been in at least one market of cannabis products and I think we found 25 pesticides then we looked at what pesticides are required for testing from all the states I found nine pesticides that was not tested in any states I just wanted to try to just educate the regulators from all the cannabis programs throughout the United States of America that you know by doing this kind of analysis one can you know look at one's own list of pesticides and consider adding additional pesticides things like that that that was simply my hobby and so since now I work for a company focused just on microbial um I'm really honing in on that and one concern I do have is simply a phrase I found in one of the minutes for what one of your meetings came and that was looking at the Oregon testing rules the required testing rules and we had done a comprehensive comparative analysis in 2019 COVID-19 shut me down I was going to just continue every year but in 2019 at the end of the summer around version 5.0 there were 27 states that required microbial testing believe it or not there were 16 distinct combinations of required testing that was all over the place and so you know what is the most science based reasoning behind what you required and you know I have my opinions other people have their own opinions but I would hate to have the required test in which you got the results and it gave no information on whether the Canada sample had any microorganisms that were dangerous to human health for a patient or a consumer and Oregon wasn't quite an outlier I don't they're in the process of actually changing their required for microbial and they only had coliform they actually said that they only required one test total coliforms and not all and any microbiologist knows it's not all coliforms are pathogenic and so you know I've been favorable as I've said in all my documents I've sent to you is the you know it's required testing for known pathogens that have been found in Canada I agree with you but the difficulty lies is that the laboratories that can do some of these other microbial tests are not available I mean or you they're extremely costly because even with living on a dairy farm I mean we're only testing for E coli because it's the indicator compound it is an indicator that there's something going awry and and so I can see where you're yeah that that's a big concern but I do have to admit that at least Oregon looks for all of those 25 pesticides right they have a one in the longest list but in terms of microbial how we've overcome that being I've done plating all the way to whole genome sequencing and the digital genomics has has multiplexed so the six tests the four aspergillus pathogenics dcs all salmonella species and step E coli you just run two tests that's it and the the aspergillus multiplex test is now certified by a oac and our south step certification will be achieved by the end of the year and you just run two tests that gives you all the information just want to mention that and now how what's the cost of those now I just curious well that's the thing is I'm not on that and the things I've only been with MGC since many and also when you asked about cost I used to do cost analysis for you know my laboratory in New Jersey and it's just not the cost of the reagent but it's the labor and everything and they haven't really done that analysis I developed a template for the association of public health laboratories of how to determine a cost per test taking in consideration of every parameter you can think up down to the number of big tiles that you use and so it's pretty amazing when it comes down to that and a lot of sales people from various competing companies will throw some costs down per test but they you know it turns out to be a lot more than you you know and also turn around times important and so forth and so on but I can get you that information it might be interesting to get that because we didn't get a summary of what the other tests were costing but we think so much on the microbial right yeah right when it comes to microbial plating seems to be cheaper but the labor yeah labor really is the largest component because you gotta include their benefits and it's not easy in a production laboratory I mean I don't what does the agency have for a testing Stephanie on that side of things I don't know what I can say though is that they the agency's laboratory while from the hand perspective again I can only talk about that is they are certified by the Kansas Quality Control Program to do the moisture analysis and the potency test they are working on the microbial testing and developing their method and validating their methods at this point in time and hopefully by next year we'll have they'll have actually the sweetest week of tests that are needed for the hand program they'll solve it microbial testing and pesticides ones are worth but I mean but the lab does do I mean they have it's a lab that does lots of different tests relative to dairy beans eat for you know like they do a lot of tests I just don't know I can't yeah yeah yeah I worked actually Sherman I worked with this department of health in New Jersey when we were doing 524.2 analysis 524.1 analysis looking for turf butyl alcohol and the labs were falsifying that they could see it you know which uh which agency in New Jersey was that it was the Department of Health I don't know what the health well that would be yeah yeah environmental laboratories yeah this was way back in probably the 90s because they were telling us that we had to have a reporting limit of 10 ppb and I said there's no way you can see it at 10 ppb and they were like well all our labs are seeing it that and I'm like well then all your labs are falsifying the data and I recovered that I found that out for us and then it finally changed to 50 ppb because that was the concentration at which we could see it right we understand that yeah the the hand program is also Sherman you had mentioned earlier about falsifying lab or not falsifying but looking at labs and looking at their data to determine whether or not lab shopping is occurring I guess or the poor rightness of the lab and we have started kind of like our our onsite we call it like an onsite investigation kind of process and it's still we're still working on it but to look at that that very thing like look at test results and determining or even successive because sometimes you don't really go that far it's the same thing for you know the runs are all the same and all the data is the same um so so we we do we are kind of putting that process together for the labs that we certify because we know that you know it's not it's not enough just to be certified but you also have to do inspections and and be consistent in the inspections that you're conducting so that's why we're putting together the process so it's always the same generally that we're looking at right yeah and also there's the poor rightness of the cultivator to because it's yes the thc is king the cannabis world and there's been known instances of lightly spraying one's counts cannabis flour with diluted thc solution to increase the analysis so that they can put a higher concentration on the label um but the thing is that certain strains of cannabis is known to have a range of thc so one particular lab director sent his staff around to different dispensaries and bought let's just say blue dream like 20 samples you know and that certain ones came from certain dispensaries like five percent higher than all the other blue dreams so there's something going on you know um it was advertised five percent higher than it actually was um but when it was tested at the laboratory that's when they lightly sprayed you know their lot there's a lot of yeah there's a lot of stuff going on yeah just to be aware of yeah i like the idea and in the board might think about this is um requiring a coa of by batch of some sort either going to some i mean even if you had to have a third party regulatory like agency i don't know you know we have to have that all the time for any um standards in the laboratory world anyway so to ensure that you know when you're looking for chlorinated solvents the standard that you're using is of some known purity in order to make sure that the concentrations are coming out right when you're providing data to you know in the real world so i think that's a really good idea to think about i'm not i know that it's a manpower issue but even if it's filed somewhere where you could go and call it you know just like it costs you more money to get a coa with a standard per se but if you had the ability that those coas were filed with the laboratory and you could call on it to look at if you had some concerns to tease that out a little bit um because i think i'm a little out of my depth but i want to use the words that i that i want to make sure i'm going to repeat what you said so i understand it the the it's the standard by which the actual test is the thc test is being brought so there's the blue dream or whatever tc but then there's the standard that it's that the equipment is compared against is that am i is that right and that that standard is consistent and that coa for that standard is available for inspection at the lab is that what you're maybe i'm not saying that right well so i i i brought up two subjects so i probably shouldn't have done that so one the certificate of analysis that comes say for a flower or a potency of it comes from the laboratory and it's shipped back to the product owner and says here's what i mean for my standard it's compliant with all of these things you know it's the right potency it has no pesticides blah blah blah so it's certifying that this product is x what i was saying is that we require you know analytical laboratories when they buy a standard for whatever tests you might be using whether you're testing for cannabis or potency um you for thc you buy that standard to run your tests against and that is required to have a coa to ensure that the potency test is being run with a known concentration purity standard you know i guess that's the better way to put it okay okay yeah no that makes sense that way i'm just um i i wanted to understand that second piece yeah yeah first piece um the second piece more um from the perspective of that the agency has that certification program and if we don't and i don't have all the details in my head but if we don't actually require that second piece that could be something that we might want to consider adding or um it would be a difficult requirement that recommendation to the ccb that labs maintain that information all right forward yeah okay and um i just want to quickly mention you know more and more states are adding um i mean many states already had salad stack but now 12 states have the four astrogelous pathogens colorado they drafted rules i went to their hearing just the other day and so that looks like that's going to be put in place in july so i did find a document from actually a consultant the vermont medical cannabis program first got started and the vermont consultant recommended it i believe sell stack in the four astrogelous but i guess it was never considered this way before my time but i i've been digging into historical developments in vermont best i can we do have a copy of that doc i think it's from 2016 it was produced by um via diagnostics and another lab out of water very i think i don't remember the name of that lab um yes i we are aware or i am aware of that document i can sure certainly share um that information with the ccb thanks stephanie it's called 55 our our our friend who joined us from the public left um so there's no public comment but i just i i think it would be helpful for myself and for and for brin and brin i know you've been talking to carry um just to kind of understand where things are in the process can i know you're waiting on some draft sop and this is forming the basis this isn't necessarily forming our proposed rule per se but the basis for the ccb to look at as a proposal from you can and carry the subcommittee and so i just want to yeah i know you kind of alluded to where things were at the beginning but in terms of producing like a tangible document with recommendations i'm hoping you could you could refresh my memory on where things are i know you're waiting from i know you're waiting from information from carry on sop is is that correct um that was i mean what i'm i'm not completely um on board with what they're expecting from me for a document i thought we were going to mirror image kind of what the hem program was doing and then so you basically have your standard documentation but with some added um emphasis on on the sampling and you know what he needs at the agency for assistance you know what i mean he was developing what what the agency was actually looking for to ramp up their own program to cover the recreational side of things okay so so my understanding is that you're waiting on some sop recommendations from carry and once you have those and you've done your review um and comparison with the origan sop's and and your like the the inclusion of your recommendation we should come back together for another meeting um does that yeah i think i think that's true for an action item and then what what are you looking for from carry and i has documentation to support you going forward because as i understand there's quite the documentation in the hem program is going to be very similar to the documentation in the recreational program and maybe talking about a few more requirements like maybe a c o a to be on file or for a product or a flower that gets tested and it be available upon request from a particular laboratory i don't know are that is that what you're looking at i mean just that's what that's what i'm just going to try that that's kind of some of those types of recommendations is also what i would find very helpful some of the the testing requirements before or after it's transferred or a business to business relationship how should we proceed as a board for those types of inflection point decision-making that we're going to need again because i want to make sure i fully understand um recommendations that would be coming from you ken and and Stephanie and carry it and the hem program and i'm sure that a lot of your comments will be sprinkled throughout the conversation again i want to make it clear that they're not proposing the role at this point in time it's just a direction for the board to go so i'm not expecting ken that's a whole role quote-unquote be you know fully fully written as such it's it's it's pretty directional at this point and we can kind of work through certain things and sure i'm sure you've been very helpful in this sorry that's okay i didn't know what was coming from i'm sorry but that's my phone yeah there'll be this is like the the start of the process not the end of the process there'll be opportunities to comment or find so on so forth as we go but it's these kind of inflection point recommendations on how we should proceed at this point okay sounds good and i am um i have a document from the woman that i who has worked with the cannabis industry through the department of health now is on her own and does auditing under 17 025 all these things she wrote up a document on um the industry specific risks and challenges that i'm going to forward on to the board for review it just identifies you know where what's happened in colorado the differences in other states not requiring certain tests you know the the whole fact that every state is doing their own thing and what are we going to do when the federal government finally legalizes this right and we're you know we want to make sure that we aren't off on our own tangent because you want to be able to roll it into the regulation the federal regulated community at some point in time that makes sense i think i think we'll follow up with kary to try and get you that information as expeditiously as we can because i don't really want to wait another month and a half to have another one of these meetings i don't think we can we can afford to given our timelines coming fast and furious out of the screen okay i want to thank everyone for this opportunity to dialogue with you and i'm available at any time to continue the dialogue and i hope that you'll allow me to be included in future meetings and kim i'll get you those boss yeah you could forward it to all of us the cost estimates all right great that sounds great and any other action items i guess i'm i don't think there's any other actions that stephanie's going to work with kary to keep moving forward i'm going to send off this specific risk and challenges and be patient and and we'll go from there sounds great sir me do you have kim's email do you have all the emails that you need yeah i think so because there was well maybe i should get i think let me see the confirmation of exactly which emails i should send to because i got the invite and the invite have just a bunch of people and i don't want to send whatever i send to the people okay does that sound okay with everybody yeah mine's pretty easy because it's k watts in 45 so at aol i'll coordinate getting email addresses and this is nely i'll coordinate getting email addresses and and disseminating all that information right yeah on the last thing that nely said there's only eight of us on it anyway so in year one of them right yeah i appreciate that nely and then um yeah i might send you a presentation i recently gave to half dough of the regulators from the food and drug industry concerning cannabis and kind of like a landscape type presentation i'll include that thank you everybody thank you very much thank you thank you thank you bye take care bye bye


Well, everyone, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial, guys. This one, I'm inside Adobe Premiere Pro 2020, but this works on older versions, guys.  And I'm going to show you how to do it in like 60 to 90 seconds, guys. So if you want a deeper voice, just follow along with me. I've got some standard footage here that I've loaded in, and it's just me talking over recording on a desktop. So let me just play it for you. The tutorial, guys, in this one, we're inside YouTube itself. That's just me talking over YouTube screen, guys. I selected simple footage just because this is something anybody can do. You don't need any special anything. The next step here is you want to make this into a sequence if you want to work on the voice, so I'm going to drag and drop my video into the timeline. And boom, you're going to see that. Here we go. We've got the video. We've got the audio. I'm going to hit spacebar and we'll just play it one more time real quick. Well, everybody, welcome back to another. Yep. That's me. That's what I sound like now. The step to lower your voice is simple. You want to go to your effects, your effects panel here. Now, it could be anywhere for you, depending on what you're set up as. If you go to effects, for example, I'm going to click on that. And it's loading slowly. You'll see the effects over here on the right side. So it could be anywhere into wherever it is effects. Then you want to just go in there and you want to type in pitch. When you type in pitch, you're going to see something called pitch. Shifter and you got to be careful when you say that because it's got a bad word in there if you say it wrong. So pitch shifter, drag and drop that just like I'm doing here. Just grab it, drop it on to your audio right under your timeline, just like that. When you do that, nothing's going to happen, not to panic. The next step is you want to go to your effects controls. Now, I believe mine is up here. Let's take a look. OK, yes, it is. But I got to click on the I got to make sure I'm clicked on the selection. So make sure you clicked on the selection like I am here and then go to effect controls. Now, I'm going to click on the audio components because I was clicked on the video. But when you click on the audio component, you get the audio controls. When you do that, you're going to see pitch shifter. This is where we want to roll.  We want to drop that down and then you'll see something called transpose. And I'm just going to open that up a little bit more so you see a little better, we're going to drop down transpose. And then you're going to see here that it's set at one. That means it's just set at baseline. So I'm going to move the timeline. I'm going to move my right to the beginning of the timeline. Pardon me, hit space bar. Hello, everybody, welcome back to another cake. Now we're going to drop. Now we're going to change this transpose and we're going to reduce it. Let's see what this does. You told you guys in this one, we're inside. Yep, that's how you do it, guys. So at one YouTube itself.  You want to sound like you're being screened out by the FBI. OK. Yes, guys, that's how you make a unique sound. That's how you drop voice. You can also increase your your pitch as well. If you want to do like a chipmunk thing, that's it, guys. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Oh, no, let me do one more thing. You can actually animate this. Let's do this one last time. One last thing I'll show you. We want to click the stopwatch here. And then at the beginning of the clip, we have it at regular. But when we get to, say, 20 seconds, let's do 10 seconds in, say, 10 seconds in, we want our voice to drop down like we're, you know, we're sound like we're being screened out at the FBI. So watch how this works. So you're going to see here over the next 10 seconds, the voice is going to drop in pitch. Here we go. Everybody, welcome back to another tutorial, guys. In this one, we're inside YouTube itself. We're inside my YouTube channel and I'm going to show you how to create. You see what we did there, guys? We created an effect and we ramped it on. And if you look really closely here, you'll see the beginning and the end. I know it's really, really tight, but it does slowly go down over time. Guys, that's how you reduce your pitch. That's how you make your voice deeper for YouTube. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Got a ton more stuff coming up. Stay tuned.
