Okay, so you all have a color that you mix together.  So That's what we made for this piece. So Let's share so just don't use all of one color If you pour like more at a time, it'll be less busy. Don't do like just drops of a color either So start with whatever you like. You can't mess it up and usually I can fix it if you do I would do it no less than a pinky amount Just enough so that it mixes with another color not not disappear into another color.

It's solid blue So that What color do you want more of No, but you know kind of like a Dutch port So that the white can like blend with everything Because it's all I Guess I don't know I can't visualize how much is gonna go down and how much it's gonna cover it, you know So what else do you guys have planned for today, this is it About some sparkle in there, I would do it in post because if we mix it into We said not even to the movies I They are they're showing the ones down the street Open yeah, well, I think it's up movie because there's only one movie poster.  It actually glows under black light Hot pink by just resin And we sell all these colors and this resin on our website artists till death comm if you're new to the channel I'm gonna have to mix more I See that's the good thing about this resin is it has a two-hour working time. So you guys don't have to rush Yeah, and then sitting in a cup like this it heats up a lot faster, so Paula wants to introduce the birthday girl Aubrey it's her birthday today and they chose to come to ATD studio and have some fun So that your We don't have that paddle It's gonna say if you want to make some more resin Happy birthday Aubrey Tara Wilson wants to know if y'all are having fun Little quiet in here raise the roof Paula Larson says happy birthday Aubrey.

It's inevitable when we're talking about children that parents are going to be emotional and they're going to feel they have to fight and give the child the best chance they can have and we're here to support that rather than feel we're fighting against something. This system allows everyone to hear their concerns, everybody listens to their concerns and everyone's part of showing the way forward for that people.  If things are going wrong, it can be about a placement of a child in a certain school or a situation, it's very much down to communication and of parents having a say and of children having a say and of people feeling that whatever they're saying is being listened to. Os fydd na'r angethino yn ystod a dyliad, mae'n bwysig cofio me'r plentyn sy'n bwysig yn y broses. Mae barn, mae syniad pawb yn cael ei nodi ond prif nod yw bod ni'n gydweithio i sicrhau datblygu anghenion arbennig y plentyn. housing people and parents are having a chance to say what is making them unhappy. They are able to say what's not working and we acknowledge what they're saying and then we work together what's the next step to avoid this happening again.


Next up, we have David, who's going to talk more about V-Boards, making web dashboards in 3D and VR, right? You have 15 minutes, the stage is yours. Okay, thank you. Well, first of all, thanks for coming. I'm David Moreno. I am a front developer and a researcher of Viterja, the company that I belong. I'm going to talk about V-Boards, that is a web application, 100% open source, as you know. It allows to use to create dashboards and visualization in 3D and virtual reality. There is a QR there that will redirect you to the web page of the project. I'm going to show you the web page. This is the web page that you can find information. And there is also available the slides in order to follow the QR, the query mesh that I put in the slides. So, what's this? This is a common dashboard, a common dashboard of Kibana. If you know Kibana, you know that it's a tool in order to visualize data from a nasty set. But you can see that it's quite boring. I mean, it's just the same visualization. We have bubbles, we have pipes, we have tables, we have heat maps. Sorry. And we have clouds. So, I think we are used to using this kind of visualizations. But why don't we take the step to another environment? I mean, for instance, the 3D environment. I don't know if you can see. Well, this is the aim of Bboard, to make visualizations, to make dashboards in 3D, and the possibility to get inside with virtual reality. And, well, it's not the perfect image, but I think you can see it. Well, I know that there are tools that allow to make visualizations in 3D, but the biggest problem of this kind of tools is that almost all of them are property, right? So, Bboard tries to compete these tools using, of course, open source, it's the right way, using non-frameworks that people are used to, high-level frameworks, you know, because it's a web, I said that it's a web application. In the web environment, in order to avoid the world garden, okay? So, the technologies that Bboard has, I said that it's a web application, so it's mainly developed with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, right? The framework that I used was AngularJS, because it's one of the common frameworks in JavaScript right now. I know that it's a little bit old, but maybe in the future we can migrate the app to React or something like that, right? It uses Elasti-Sedge because Bboard is based on Kibana, right? So, it uses Elasti-Sedge in order to visualize the data from it, and to do the queries and save its state and so on. Also, of course, as I think all web application, it has tons of dependencies, no, I'm kidding. A lot of dependencies from NPM, and it has also two mages of Docker in order to style it in machine code, whatever you want. Okay, but the most important tool, or the most important framework is a frame. I don't know if you know a frame, but a frame is a framework that extends HTML and allows to build 3D extensions in a page, just using HTML tags, right? So, for instance, if we see that code, we can see that it's just HTML, but with that code we can build extensions like this one, right? So, it's very simple, it is based on 3, you know, 3 years, and well, it's quite simple, it's quite useful, and it's the rendering giant of V-Board. Well, focusing on V-Board, there are many installation ways. The first one is from the repository, it has the installation steps from source code, from releases, in GitHub, there are, I think, there are two releases, two different releases, and from Docker it has two different images of Docker, one that use a frame for rendering giant, and the other one that use 3GS for rendering giant, but, as I said, a frame is better, a frame is better, it's better. This is the link to the repository in order to see more information, and when you enter to V-Board, you will see a flow of messages, or like that, right? This is just configuration, it's connecting to elastic sets, and it's just, I'm not going to stop here, because I think it's not interesting for the talk. So, when you are in V-Board, the first thing you will see is that, what, without the pie of course, and I'm going to explain the structure of the application. Well, there are a navbar at the top that has just three tabs. One, the first one is visualized in order to make visualizations, the second one is dashboard in order to make dashboards, and the third one is so that is used to view the dashboards in a standalone mode, right? Without any navbar, any menu, just the dashboard, ok? It's like the visualization of the dashboard, and that's it. Well, I'm going to show you how to build a visualization with V-Board, like this one, that is a 3D bar chart, and the data that I have in elastic set, because you need to have installed our deployed in elastic search in order to see, to connect it and to show the data. I'm going to create a 3D bar chart. The data that I have is data related to git comits. So, we are going to represent the time evolution of the number of comits per author, right? So, first of all, we have to select the index and the type of elastic set that we have. And then, as one, when we click on select chart, the next form is the visualization type. There are five different visualization types on V-Board, and we are going to show a simple 3D bar chart, right? Well, you have to know how elastic search aggregates the data in order to select the data that you are going to represent, right? You have to know how is the aggregation of elastic search. Well, if you know it, you have to select a metric first in order to make height in the bars. And the buckets, okay, we are going to select the data in X-axis that will be the... the datistogram, for instance, only, of a field that has time inside, right? And the set axis will be the author and we are going to see the time evolution parameters. Well, let's click on author name, and we will see, for instance, right, 20. Okay, if we click on play, it takes a long time, okay? Not a long time, sorry. And now we see a 3D visualization. That is just, as you can navigate within it, touching the arrows in the cable or the W-U-A-S-D as a game, and now it's just in order to see more deeply the data. Well, let's put it on gently in order to have less data because we are going to save this visualization and then we are going to add this visualization to other sports, right? Okay, let's click on save. First name, right, okay. Well, I think I don't have much time, so let's click on dashboard and now we have an empty dashboard with all the visualization available. I'm going to load a dashboard that I saved before in order to go quickly. And we are going to add the visualization that we already made, right? So we are going to put... We want the visualization in front of us, so here add a little bit of faith. Ah, yes, in front of us and the setting this is negative. Well, we have now our dashboard, right? There are more visualizations that I added before. Ah, well, let's save the dashboard with a name for them and now we are going to save, to save the dashboard in the standalone mode. This is the dashboard in the standalone mode, right? It just, well, visualization. Okay. But I think the coolest way to save this dashboard is with a device that allows virtual reality. I brought here my Oculus Go, my Oculus Go, if you want to try one of the dashboard that I saved, please come after the talk and I will show you how to see this kind of dashboard in real virtual reality, right? And if you use a smartphone you will see that kind of image like when you have to use a cardboard or something like that, right? Well, you can customize your dashboard, change the environment, rotation the chart, you can, okay, you can move within the dashboard, you can fly, you can get into a visualization and I want to talk now about the latest feature that Vivo has, that is augmented reality, right? Before that, I'm going to explain that in the web page there are three examples from different data sources or data companies. The first one is from the company Databillone, Databillone with data data. The second one about the project GameWork Lab, another open source project. And the third one is from data from the OpenStack project. So the slides are available in the web page. I'm not going to stop here because I want to show you the augmented reality of Vivo, right? If you have your smartphone here, I encourage you, please scan the QR first. I'm going to show you the video, how to do that, I don't know if that's easy, easy. And when you scan the QR, you will redirect to a web page that will ask you for camera permissions and if you accept it and if you point the QR again, you will see a dashboard in augmented reality. I have more QRs here. If you want to try it later, I can give you some. So I think that's really impressive to see in a piece of paper or something like that. Well, there is also the link to the demo there. And, well, as I said, Vivo Art is hosted on GitHub. It has 100% OpenFree Libre source. There are user guides in order to follow step-by-step the process to build a visualization, to build a dashboard. There are two images of Docker. You want to deploy it in whatever you want, wherever you want. And this is two links. In other words, if you want to create a 100% Libre and Open Source QR and markers for the augmented reality. And, well, all the data that I have is... Sorry to interrupt. Okay, okay. Guys, if you want to give David questions, please catch him. We are also at the cafeteria, so... Okay, thank you. Moltes gràcies.


Hi, everyone. Happy Saturday.

All right Now let's work open these packs. Let's see what we got Italy Austria on the background the Austrians almost went ahead Early on but some off-side calls bailed Italy out Italy scored usually when that first goal Happens and it just kind of opens up the rest of the game. They scored a quick second And Austria just hit one off the post last 15 minutes of the Of the overtime basically I have no idea how we're shipping those box toppers I think we actually have You know what? I think we actually would we would use the box toppers for or the Top-loaders for like eight by ten photos and then I think we just cut them to size box number one Let's go these really jam me up because they flip these cards around. There's chrome cards in here, which are pretty nice great photography as always on this I just wish these cards looked around like this. That's all there's a red foil j. Cronor. These are the most common short prints I think the and then the black foil is slightly more shorter printed And I think anything else Shorter printed than that.

All right next box box topper Not autograph, but it's nice shot of yellow cheer. Wow did Austria score Austria score. It's 2-1 Things just got a little spicy if they tie this up at the end of this overtime here would go to penalty kicks That's not what Italy wants Wow, how did you get how'd you get your head on that? It was like he was almost on the ground Yeah, that's one of the craziest hairs I've ever seen his his head was maybe like three feet off the ground Guided it into the with the almost the back of his head and guided it redirected it into the near post I think Yelch makes that catch right here Anything that's a Homer Nice box topper nonetheless for the brew crew and it'll be for EA The first 90 minutes of this match was was nil-nil Yeah, that's what I love about stadium club is the photography best in the biz absolutely You know a number of years ago when when Jasper's was at the national we were invited to do a little a Unboxing a group break of stadium club With someone at tops who was involved in the production of stadium club so there was like a little Little Q&A and stuff there and she was saying yeah, it's one of the one of the one of the best projects at tops Because you know you're spending your day just looking at cool photos and seeing what's going to be in the set Next box here we go.

That's going to go to austin boston There's the autograph and that is That's ryan howard Good penmanship for ryan howard there brad with the fillies and I wonder if I think injuries eventually caught up with ryan howard But he still finishes career 382 home runs I wonder wonder if he would have If he would have been able to be on some sort of hall of fame trajectory if he hit like If you got to like 500 home runs, which It wouldn't be too crazy To think about if he was healthy There's the there's a mike trout triumvirate stye cut for the angels quarry Of portugal belgium taunia, that does sound like a good match.

Shane Dawson said the new Jake Paul video would be out on Wednesday but it didn't come out until Thursday. What the f**k? What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health so what I like to do is pull things going on in the YouTube community or pop culture in general and try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that kind of stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. So I just got back from Los Angeles. I was at Vid Summit so everybody Zach agreed that he will still help me with editing so he will be back soon. All right usually I'm just a one-man show but I love what he does so so so much. So anyways Zach will be back. Yeah in case you guys didn't get it yet like the beginning of this video that was just like a joke um but I wanted to make this video like as I was driving back from uh Los Angeles like I don't know about an hour outside of Las Vegas this thing got stuck in my head and I don't know I'm just this type of guy where things get stuck in my head I'm like I gotta put this out in a video all right there's a lot of stuff that everybody can learn from this situation. Um I have a lot of new videos planned I've been keeping a ton of notes on my phone so I I'm really excited for this little series that I'm gonna put out kind of in between the Shane Dawson stuff. So basically what's going on is Shane is getting some flak for posting the Jake Paul the new Jake Paul the secrets of Jake Paul he posted a day late all right he's gotten some pushback um he has some new tweets up that I'm gonna dive into and he's talking about taking a break for a few months and just just some things about some of the some of the flak he's been getting about posting this video a little bit late. So the first thing I want to say everybody is thank you so much for supporting my channel and trying to get my videos out to Shane and I just want to say Shane Dawson actually emailed me all right so stop tweeting at him but yeah I'm not sure what we're gonna do yet or anything but he he always comes out to Las Vegas so hopefully I'll have the opportunity to meet up with him then not sure what's gonna happen but hopefully I get to see him while he's here in Las Vegas but anyways so basically what happened like when I got to Los Angeles I posted my video about how I was in a Shane Dawson you know video and I was like yo Shane I'm in town this week let's meet up or something right and part of Shane's email was like yo I'm sick in bed and I'm like okay that's cool and I knew he was sick in bed because when I looked at his tweets he was tweeting about how he was sick in bed so like I want to just talk about that situation and I think it's important too because I know a lot of you are new here but right before I got this huge influx in subscribers I actually made a video about like are these YouTubers good role models and the three examples I use were Tenimojo, Bobby Burns, and Trisha Payness all right so I used them as an example but the focus of that video was like your actions speak louder than words and you gotta be accountable so Tana just like a quick recap I'll link that video up there if you want to check it out there's a quick recap Tana when she came back after the whole TanaCon thing she said Monday at noon Monday at noon Monday at noon like she said this like 50,000 times and then she posted her video like hours late right Bobby Burns I pointed out the fact that he's he took this you know mental health break and all that no shame on him for mental health break but then he told everybody yo I'm gonna consistently be uploading on Fridays and then like within like a week or two he was posting on Saturdays you know so he wasn't holding himself accountable Trisha Payness that one was kind of like a gray area I talked about how she goes back and forth on is she gonna stop doing mukbangs and is she really you know living a healthy lifestyle and then she goes back and forth and back and forth but as somebody who bounces back and forth from trying to lose weight you know I just I don't know like I get it I get it and hopefully Trisha is doing well with her weight loss journey so I know it might seem a little contradictory that I'm making this video and I already know what what some of the comments are gonna say and I'm totally cool with it and you'll see why pretty soon some of the comments are gonna say oh Chris you're just you're just sticking up for Shane because because he he posted a comment on your video and and he sent you an email well I don't know like have your own opinion about it like you do you baby girl I think it's important to talk about this because I don't see this as contradictory so Shane Shane has you know done this series and it's an eight part series and he had a schedule and he tries to let you know when he's going to be doing it and like it's funny because I just finished watching the new Drew Gooden video from this past week and he was talking about like this entitlement of the viewers on YouTube or YouTube I'm like yes like because that's exactly what I was gonna kind of talk about but he talks about how like people are getting so mad about this free content that they're getting right like it's it's insane and like one of the things that you know comes up they're like oh we're we're the ones putting money in your pockets and like I it's a real interesting type of entitlement when you say we're putting money in your pocket even though all you're doing is watching ads right now I know some people buy merch some people support creators on Patreon and all that and you all are amazing but typically the ones complaining are the ones that are doing like the least amount of anything right but aside aside from the entitlement like that's the lack of like empathy all right so even though I'm a huge huge advocate of keeping your word and doing what you're you say you're gonna do let's go back in history real quick okay on October 8th Shane posts first off I have a bladder infection and I just peed blood happy Monday secondly part five and 20 minutes October 9th part six coming Thursday sorry for the delay my health issue set me back a bit thanks for all the nice tweets last night another tweet from October 9th I'm so happy you guys liked yesterday's video we worked really hard on it we are still trying for part six tomorrow but my bladder infection put me back a little and I couldn't edit yesterday but we are going full force today worst case scenario it will be up Thursday all right so this man this man is laid up in bed with a bladder infection peeing blood okay let's just paint this picture and I know and Shane if you see this I'm sorry that I'm having people picture you laying in bed and when you urinate it's peeing blood but you put that image in our heads all right but I just want to just kind of like paint this picture real quick of what's going on okay so then I see Shane tweet this on October 10th he retweets this so somebody said please finish editing docs in the future before even deciding to announce it this is like the third time you stretch it and it's pretty irresponsible to keep your word when you're gonna upload stuff instead of stretching it out for so long love you but you gotta fix this Shane replies I've been releasing two hours of content a week and I've been making it with one person I feel like I'm allowed to take an extra day or even an extra few days if I need it when my is bleeding like like the entire event like what like I don't know okay do you guys understand what's happening with YouTube right now like I think creators understand I think some a lot of you understand but some people don't understand like Shane is putting out like Netflix quality documentaries on YouTube with him and freaking Andrew okay like do you like can anybody even imagine like can anybody have even imagine this right like the stuff that I had Zach doing for me like you see what we do like he pokes fun at me I say goofy stuff that's it these guys had to torture themselves but watching like 50 million hours of Jake Paul videos and you guys like you need to hurry up and post these videos like what where is this entitlement coming from so this next tweet that he retweeted got deleted Paul because this person was like oh my god like Shane Dawson retweeted me and I looked like a jerk but anyways Shane Dawson replies next time I'm going to just take more time and not care about why aren't you posting and your lazy tweets I probably won't be uploading for a few months after the series is over so yeah that's like why want to make this video like this is crazy okay so so let me use myself as an example and just a real quick recap of why I'm so so passionate about keeping your word being accountable being on time right I was a drug addict and alcoholic for many years and I thought that's why people like my son's mom hated me no they hated me because I was completely unreliable I'm the type of guy where I would tell my kids mom hey I'll be there at five o'clock to pick up our son and I'd show up at six like every single time so like as part of my mental health and recovery journey like I do what I say I'm gonna do but because I do what I say I'm gonna do when things happened and fortunately I've never been peeing blood people understand this because I am so responsible and accountable does that make sense like so the first thing I want to kind of like tell everybody out there who struggles with this like Shane might be is like give yourself a break okay like every now and then my girlfriend Tristan even does this to me sometimes like like oh yeah you know I expect you to be five or ten minutes like she just gives old jabs I don't think she gets too mad do you get mad I don't know but anyways like but yeah I do what I say I'm gonna do I follow through with my commitments sometimes I get stuck in traffic sometimes I might be sick you know what I mean but like we minimize this now like Shane is not somebody with like this huge track record of saying things and not following through with them you know what I mean so like at a certain point you got to kind of just like brush this stuff off all right now this next part if any of you saw my other video about Katie Borden and Shane Dawson it's gonna seem a little hypocritical because I talked about unsolicited advice by the way a lot of your comments in there were fascinating to me so I am going to make a video about unsolicited advice because so many people said yeah I hate getting unsolicited advice but I give a lot of unsolicited advice really really interesting but anyways Shane if you end up watching my video I'm gonna give some unsolicited advice but Shane might not see this video I don't know but this is for all of you too like so what's interesting to me is like Shane is probably getting tagged in thousands of tweets a day right thousands of tweets and it's kind of something I mentioned in the video that Shane saw of mine like how you know the brain is velcro for negative experiences and Teflon for positive ones right so like with all of the praise that he's getting you see that he's noticing like these people saying you're lazy or you're you're not posting on time and all this other stuff right but like Shane needs to cut himself some slack but the other thing is too as a creator and at VidSummit I had this conversation with so many creators so many creators because people get tied up in the negative comments and like I'll just tell you right now if you're not following me on Instagram you need to at the Reward Soul it's up on the screen again I have started a little virtual art gallery I like to call it right and basically I like taking hate comments and posting them on my Instagram because I reply to them and I just laugh like let me tell you let me tell you something I've made videos about this like I care so much about what you all think about me but I equally give absolutely zero okay so like just kind of keep that in mind and this is why I reply to these and I'm usually laughing when I reply to these so here's a good one this guy is a tool irritating voice as well so I reply excuse me sir I may be a tool but many are fans of my sensual voice and he said haha okay man I'll give you that one point one for Chris oh here's a good one y'all mufka do anything for views you see opportunity and run for the content shake my head sad you have to jump on a wavy to get a check so I replied should I make videos that don't get views I think that's a valid question right like should I as a content creator on youtube should I try instead of trying hard to make videos that get views should I try to make videos that don't get views right like it's just silly oh here's another good one and this one actually has a good ending so this guy says I really hate your voice omfg so I replied you should still subscribe I include captions in my videos so you can mute me and still watch so you get help for your mental and emotional well-being ain't no thing right because I'm here for you but anyways the happy ending that like the guy actually replied and he said sorry I was having a rough day and like that's kind of what I realized I've made videos about this in the past like I know a lot of people who are posting these things or having troubles in their life like heck I have a mental health channel you know what I mean like I did it so the very last one the very last one this was actually something I just posted on Instagram and this came from my hey I was in the Shane Dawson video so she says yeah because you kept milking the story for views go figure then in parentheses congrats though that's that's the way to break through so it's like she was like sassing me and complimenting me but I replied yep don't hate the player hate the game so yeah if any of you are content creators out there or you have some kind of following or maybe you're in school and like people just talk crap or whatever like just man I I've said this before like you need to work on just really really not valuing other people's opinions more than your own I get a ton of backlash I was actually thinking on my drive today I am very surprised that with all the views I've gotten like I've passed over a million views in the past like month or so I could probably count on less than two hands how many people have called me fat I was expecting that when I started to blow up like more people would call me fat and they haven't so I don't know I still have hope for humanity but I get comments all the time like oh you're turning into a drama channel man you know there's all sorts of stuff but it's just like I could not value other people's opinions more than my own especially when I know that my morals and my values are online all right so anyways this video is going way longer than I thought it would so but I appreciate you hanging out and listening to this hopefully Shane sees it if not that's cool I hope you learn from this but let's do this down in the comments below like how how important is like accountability and responsibility for you right like are you somebody who beats yourself up if you're late even if you like are sick like okay this is even better question are you someone who feels guilty about calling in sick to work like I can make a whole video about this like let me know down in the comments all right anyways that's all I got for you today if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you're new again I'm always making videos to help you out with your mental and emotional well-being make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon I got some new patrons while I was out of town so boom now they're up on the thank you list all right if you want to join and help support the channel you can click or tap on the Patreon icon right there all right thanks so much for watching I'll see you next time


My name is Hekia Bodwich, and I'm a postdoctoral researcher with the UC Berkeley Cannabis Research Center. And today I'm going to be talking about barriers to compliance in cannabis production. I've worked on this project with Michael Poulsen and Van Botzig. In 2018, the state of California legalized cannabis for recreational use. The state, in doing so, made farmers access to legal markets, contingent on their adherence to a suite of environmental practices and reporting requirements. To sell cannabis legally in the state of California, growers must refrain from using non-organic amendments, must plan on certain angle slopes, recently must track and trace all their product from clone to sale. And in certain areas, if not located or hooked up to municipal water sources, farmers must report all their water use in a diverting, engaged forbearance periods. The goal of this multi-agency environmental initiative was to mitigate the effects or perceived effects of unregulated cultivation on fragile ecosystems in California's north coast. Northern California is home to some of the best hope from salmon-run recovery, and illicit cultivation practices have been attributed to increased risks of eutrophication or warming water temperatures and corresponding to algal blooms, toxic to fish and humans. California's licensing initiative is also poised to set a new standard for agricultural crop production more broadly. Agriculture is an industry that has been historically difficult to monitor for environmental outcomes due to the diffuse nature of farm locations and non-point source aspect of farm runoff. Governments have also faced challenges in regulating agriculture for environmental outcomes due to the political effectiveness of industry organizations. The outcomes of this legalization initiative, however, have been called into question by what perceives to be or appears to be high rates of non-compliance throughout the state. Well, the exact number of growers in the state of California is difficult to determine, depending on the clandestine nature of cultivation practices that many farmers assume. Industry estimates that 50,000 growers were cultivating in the state of California around 2017, coupled with ideas that this crop has been the state's most lucrative for at least several years now. The 50,000 growers estimated as cultivating in the state is orders of magnitude lower than the several thousands who've applied for permits. The proliferation of growers throughout the state of California has been tied to the legalization of cannabis for medical use starting in 1996. In 1996, the state of California authorized counties to determine the maximum number of plants individuals could cultivate if they had a medical card, provided it did not exceed a cap of 99. Counties where back to the landers had begun cultivating in the early 60s, permitted individuals to grow up to the state's maximum. The contributions these farmers made to rural communities has been identified as significant, or at least notable, in part due to the way in which cannabis has been traded with cash. Still listed as a Schedule I substance under federal regulations, cannabis farmers are not able to bank income from cannabis. Cash is more likely than other forms of income to be reinvested locally. The majority of these farms likely to avoid detection have been identified as small scale, as GIS images, at least from GIS images. Legalization, however, may be poised to change this characterization of small farms contributing to rural economies. Formalization initiatives in other contexts where governments have legalized or authorized previously informal practices of exchange have been identified as corresponding to trends towards industry consolidation, as governments legalized larger firm sizes and increased market competition for smaller operations. Understanding the extent to which non-compliance in cannabis agriculture in California reflects structural forms of exclusion seen in other industries, or perhaps is a reflection of growers' desire to remain illicit. Rest in part in an understanding of farmers' motivations for compliance. Studies of compliance in other sectors, agricultural in particular, have identified social, normative, and calculated motivations for why farmers choose to comply with environmental regulations or not. Calculated motivations include those related to threat of enforcement or cost. Social motivations can include those related to how an individual thinks others think he or she ought to behave. Normative motivations include those related to whether or not an individual thinks a regulation is just or effective. The effect of motivations on an individual's decision making is influenced in part by the extent to which an individual is able to comply. An ability is often considered to be a reflection of the total transaction costs an individual must assume to participate in a particular governing initiative. Transaction costs can include factors that are not easily registered as financial, such as the costs associated with increased paperwork to participate in a new regulatory initiative, or the costs assumed when an individual decides to engage in a regulatory practice that goes against the interests of their neighbors who might otherwise have been an important form of support. Access to information can increase transaction costs or affect transaction costs, and not surprisingly, administrative complexity has been shown to exhibit inverse correlations to compliance. Understanding the motivations that influence decision making can help identify the types of interventions that will most likely address non-compliance in an equitable way. Traditionally, regulation has looked at influencing individuals' calculated motivations for decision making, but more recently, governments and development organizations have encouraged participatory forms of regulatory approaches to environmental governance, in particular in part in reflection of the complexities adhering to and the disincentives industries face to adhere to environmental standards. The idea of regulatory capture has been hypothesized as being less likely to occur with a diverse range of industry representatives. In this project, we sought to understand how industry representatives, state officials, researchers, and environmental organizations could work together to support an equitable legal industry. And to do so, we asked why it is that farmers are applying for permits or not. In particular, we sought to understand the characteristics of those who are complying, what motivates farmers to comply, and whether there are barriers that can be removed to make entrance to the legal market easier. Our study site included the state of California within which considerable differentiation exists with regards to how farmers experience the licensing initiative. As with medical regulations, the state left it up to counties to decide how they would implement the state's licensing process. Counties were available and have employed a diverse range of approaches to doing so, with some implementing bans, permanent or temporary on areas in which cultivation was previously permitted. In developing the survey, we asked characteristics of farm sites related to whether or not they were in an area with a ban, as well as characteristics of production related to amount and demographic aspects of farmers, and as well as farmers from environmental practices. We asked about motivational factors related to social, normative, and calculated motivations, and we explored barriers by asking questions about how farmers have experienced the regulatory process. We received IRB Interstitutional Review Board approval from UC Berkeley for research with human subjects. We piloted the survey with cultivators throughout the state, both compliant and non-compliant, and the survey went online from June through August of 2019. We helped farmers, or we worked with farmer organizations to help distribute the survey, and we also distributed the survey to email addresses of those who've engaged in the licensing process with the state, which we obtained through PRA requests from the various state agencies who are part of the licensing process. We also distributed hard copies of the survey to grow stores, and made hard copies available to those who wished. We analyzed our results using statistical methods to identify trends between compliance and particular survey responses. We looked at the data that was qualitative in nature, which was written in data inductively coding for trends in that data. Over 350 farmers completed the full survey, making it the largest survey of cannabis farmers in California to date. Respondents were married, white, educated, male, and middle-aged. The majority of respondents had been growing cannabis for at least 10 years. Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity, and Nevada were the most commonly reported zip codes in our sample. Approximately one-third of respondents received permits, one-third were pending approval, and one-third did not apply. The majority of farmers who did not apply for permits produced less than 100 pounds in 2018. Outdoor cultivation was the most common production method across all permit statuses. This idea that those who are not applying for permits are producing less and cultivating outdoors and in greenhouses has been reinforced by research that looks at farmed sites on Google Earth against permit addresses. Analysis of randomly selected cannabis growing regions in Humboldt County found that the number of permitted farms was far less than the number of unpermitted farms, but the percentage of area of permanent and unpermitted were similar. So this is for greenhouses. We see that 20% of greenhouses were permitted, but 43% of the area that greenhouses in the region covered were permitted. Again, with outdoor, we saw about 20% permitted, but that represented 33% of the total area. In our survey sample, we found that all farmers reported engaging in environmental practices. Whether someone responded in a particular way to questions about if they engaged in particular environmental practices or not did not necessarily influence the likelihood that they would respond to whether or not they complied in a particular way. Farmers across all permit statuses reported that they planted away from streams, which is an aspect of the regulatory initiative. Over 40% of those who did not apply, however, are not zoned for cannabis. So local zoning had a strong effect on whether or not someone was likely to also be someone who applied for a permit. A majority of farmers who did not apply for permits reported 50% or more of their income is coming from non-cannabis sources. Another way to think about this is that the farmers who are not applying are using cannabis as a way to support income coming in from elsewhere. As a result, non-compliance and the way in which folks are able to participate in markets going forward may have an effect on rural communities and rural economies. We see the sentiment echoed in a comment that a humble county grower gave who explained, due to humble abatement policies, people who are already barely getting by are going to have to sell their land or find another way to support their remote living, which is impossible. I know plenty of families who are unable to provide enough food for their families. They are not able to keep up with clothing growing children. As a mother, it is hard to see so many kids who are hungry, wearing the same clothes day after day and hoping to find a way to get to the nearest store because the car registration is expired. We are suffering in the hills. Why folks aren't complying, cost was a primary barrier. When we asked those who have not applied for permits why they didn't apply, cost, the main factor, other factors were the idea that the unregulated market had more opportunity than regulated market and there was few county incentives to comply. Similarly, we looked at the way in which folks responded to open-ended questions about whether or not they complied, cost was a primary factor. What these costs were when we look at those who did comply appear to be primarily or the majority or weighted heavier with regards to costs to come into compliance as opposed to costs associated with permits and fees. Costs to come into compliance include those associated with getting your land up to code, so licensing your roads, getting your culverts intact and in former forested landscapes, the roads and culverts that you might be reconstructing necessarily to get your permit to grow cannabis could have been put in place by forestry organizations prior to you. As this Grower and Medicino County explains, we have a large rancid over 1,000 acres and 50,000 square feet of cultivation space. The Lake Stream Alteration Agreement that we had to submit required our consultants to review the entire property for violations. Our final costs to remediate culverts that have nothing to do with cannabis are upwards of 50,000, possibly $100,000. These culverts have been in place for over 40 years. Currently, they want us to do a dam stability analysis. We've had two consultants up and no one wants to take on the project because the dam's been intact for 40 years and looks fine. We aren't using it for cultivation. We are still in the process and will resolve these issues, but these issues seem to be ancillary to the actual cannabis operation we were running in our bureaucratic and financial burden. This Humboldt County Grower comments on the challenges associated with a lack of banking and no access to reasonable loans as severely impeding his ability to keep the farm profitable while trying to also understand and comply with all regulations and conditions of compliance. As the scorer explains, our local building and planning department decided that no building or grading permits would be issued before the annual cannabis permit was issued. If our pond permit had been issued after it was applied for and approved in 2016, our farm would have stayed profitable because we would have been able to cultivate at scale for the past three years. Unclear information has also posed a barrier to compliance and this can be seen as increasing the transaction costs growers must assume to comply. Growers from all-permice status types indicated that a lack of clear, accurate information on regulations has hindered my ability to comply. As this scorer explains, this information was confusing due to changing of rules mid-game. I was faced with the decision to install a tank for water forbearance or put in an agricultural well. After 20 grand was spent on this deep hydrologically disconnected well, I was told the rules have changed and now they cannot deem a well not hydrologically connected. Now I'm faced with spending another 30,000 plus dollars on water tanks. Farmers who applied for permits were more likely to rate government websites consultants and business collaborators as important sources of information. Farmers who did not apply were less likely to have received outreach, especially outreach from the water board, which those who did apply were more likely to have received. When asked why folks didn't apply, those who did not apply did not feel community pressure to comply. Non-compliant farmers believed their practices were better for the environment than that regulated by government. Those who did not apply also indicated that they were not terribly worried about fines or arrests. Farmers of all permit status types reported little enforcement. Those that applied found that the fear of arrests, the security for their family, and the belief in the future value influenced their decision to comply. Like those who did not apply for permits, those who did apply felt little pressure from community to apply, and they also were not sold that compliance would correspond to a positive impact for the environment. Those that applied found that personal time consultants, community members, and regulators helped the process. When we looked at the responses to all questions, we found that farmers who applied for permits were those who were more likely to report higher income from cannabis, rate government websites and consultants as useful sources of information, receive outreach from the water board, and those who did not apply were less likely to be zoned for cannabis and less likely to report a large farm size. Another way of thinking about this is that the transaction costs growers must assume to participate in the legal market, exceed what they're able to afford. These transaction costs include those associated with moving your farm to a location where it is zoned for cultivation. If you're in an area with a either permanent or temporary ban, those costs might also include those paying for either your time or others to deal with the administrative hurdles. Those costs also include the ways in which you have to rework your landscape to come up to code. The California's Cannabis Licensing Initiative is a really unusual and really incredible effort to bring these landscapes, you know, former forested regions which have a history of being, you know, areas in which ecological fragility is high. The Licensing Initiative creates an opportunity to rework these landscapes and incentivize those who are in these places to contribute to environmental outcomes in these regions. The idea of reporting water use in particular is, you know, pretty incredible for attempts to govern and work together in ways that can better prepare us for drought futures. For this to happen, you know, we need to be thinking through ways to get these small scale farmers on board with Licensing Initiatives. The idea that those who are not complying are small farms who are supporting incomes received from elsewhere with their cannabis operation is a sharp contrast to the idea of the illicit cannabis farmer as operating on public lands with little regards for environmental outcomes. In the contrary or to the contrary, the farmers surveyed here indicate that they perceive themselves as environmental stewards and it's possible that the fact that they felt little community pressure to comply reflects that idea. The idea that people feel little community pressure to comply is a factor that might otherwise indicate an increased transaction cost in other contexts. Strategies to address compliance that are worthy of consideration include institutional support for collaborative market access and information sharing initiatives, the advancement of innovative forms of outreach, and the reduction of compliance costs. Institutional support for collaborative market access arrangements includes support for co-op formation. Right now there's a current cap on the total number of acres that can be incorporated into a farmer cannabis co-op. This cap was put in place when there was also a cap on total farm size. The cap on farm size has been lifted and folks who initially advocated for the cap on cooperatives are wondering if perhaps that also needs to be lifted. Cooperatives in developing country contexts where small scale producers are navigating new markets have been shown to correspond to increased wealth that individuals receive from their farming operation. Cooperatives are also a mechanism to share information. In the cannabis space cooperatives have previously been primarily an information sharing source or sorry, farmer organizations in the form of trade groups have been previously an information sharing source as farmers navigated quasi-legal markets on their own terms. Coming together now could create or help increase the likelihood that small scale farmers in California will be well positioned to navigate changing markets as the possibility of international trade opens up as the U.S. and other nations, especially Asian nations rework treaty terms as well as interstate commerce. Innovative forms of outreach to growers that might be explored include peer-to-peer education, which has been shown as a way knowledge has been disseminated in agroecological contexts in other areas. Outreach might also include farmer-to-government forms of outreach where farmers ideas about environmental practices which may be improving upon that mandated by the regulatory initiative can be shared with governing bodies as well. Outreach to county organizations and local municipalities for bringing their processes or implementing standard mechanisms to get farmers permitted might also facilitate permitting in areas where bans currently exist. The reduction of compliance costs could be explored through providing farmers access to premium crop insurance, which has been explored as a mechanism to increase water conservation initiatives for other agricultural sectors throughout the U.S. The small scale, the high numbers of small scale farmers throughout California in cannabis is an aberration to the rest of agricultural crop production more broadly in the state, which is primarily dominated by corporately owned businesses. The advancement of strategies to support small farmers access to markets and adherence to the regulatory system will increase the likelihood that cannabis becomes a crop that can benefit California in communities and environments in which it is cultivated.

Recently, your doctor has prescribed a blood-thinning drug like Warfarin for you, and you probably have lots of questions. Well, sit back and relax as over the next few minutes, we'll attempt to address some of your concerns and answer many of the questions you may have about the drugs. We'll also introduce you to a strategy for incorporating your blood-thinner medication into your daily life. We refer to it as the B-E-S-T, or best strategy. So, you've recently been prescribed blood-thinner pills. Perhaps you've been wondering what these drugs do and why you need to take them. Starting on blood thinners may feel like getting behind the wheel of a car for the first time. You may feel anxious, but rest assured that you are not alone. Each year, nearly two million people just like you start taking blood-thinner medicine. Now, let's talk about the drugs themselves. What are blood thinners? What do they do and why are they used? First, the drugs are referred to as anti-coagulants. This term can best be understood if we break it up into two parts. First, anti means against or to prevent. Second, coagulant refers to the process by which a substance, like your blood, forms a clot or a blockage. Blood clots are the clumps that occur when the blood hardens and changes from a liquid to a solid. Normally, clots develop to help stop bleeding after you've been cut or injured. If you've been cut, a clot will usually form that will help stop the bleeding. But, not all clots are desirable. Some clots can form inside your bloodstream. When this happens, the results can be dangerous to your health. So, blood-thinner pills, also known as anti-coagulants, work to help prevent your blood from clotting. This is important because your clinician believes that you are at risk for having a blood clot form in your bloodstream.  If a blood clot travels to your heart, you can have a heart attack. If it travels to your brain, it can cause a stroke. If it goes to your lungs, it can cause what's known as a pulmonary embolism or blood clot in the lungs. All of these conditions are serious and can lead to death.   Some of the most common reasons are an abnormal heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis or DVT, pulmonary embolism or PE, or because you've had recent surgery.


LAC cases are versatile eco-friendly biocatalysts that have generated enormous interest in various industrial fields, including food additive and beverage processing, biomedical diagnosis, and enzymatic bioremediation. They can transform complex xenobiotics and have been studied intensely in nanobiotechnology for the development of implantable biosensors and biofuel cells. This article was authored by Diana M.

Preseason has been great, you know it's been very exciting to see new freshmen coming in and you know embracing them getting to know about them seeing you know the different styles of play that they're bringing in and what everyone is contributing and you know having a new coach of course getting to see the new tactics the new formations that we're going to play so it's been very interesting seeing you know how we're gonna put everything together and you know hopefully come out you know more fluid than we were in the past years. It's been real good you know man my four years here feeling really positive outlook onto the season and feel real excited for what's to come we're really organized we're holding each other accountable at every session and each session we're improving and learning more and more tactically and pretty much building the chemistry of the team every session. I believe we're balancing you know we're doing an even amount of defending and attacking so we're definitely not gonna be sitting back as we've been in the past couple years so you know yeah it's basically balanced. You know having a new coach going into junior year of course the world difficult but I mean coming in with Graham Graham's been watching all of our games he's known us all he knows us all really well and so having him really doesn't even feel like a new coach it's kind of just like just a new title for him but he's definitely been a part of our program for as long as I've been here at Stevenson. A senior year for me I'm ready to leave it on on the field you know basically like Dorsey said leave the program in a better place than it was I know that the past two years were a little a little hard but you know hopefully we can put a program in a better place before we leave. Just to you know work hard and give everything I got as my last year at Stevenson you know to hope to really leave at the end of this season hopefully late November late December early December of really saying that I gave it my all in the Jersey and to leave the program a better place than when we came here. You know for the past years we've never really made the the final five so I should say the playoffs so my goal will be really I'll be really happy to see us you know at least come close to that and you know play into November and yeah that's my expectation for this year.


You may have seen these hypnosis videos, right?  I want to just answer the question does lucid dreaming hypnosis actually work because it's quite a Popular thing. There's loads of videos loads of views You may have seen them and you may have even listened to them But it's not really what you think and it only works for certain types of people There's also the question of is is hypnosis actually safe because what you're doing with hypnosis is you're using Subliminal or kind of like unconscious subconscious messages and you're getting those into your brain So you really need to first know that you need to basically trust the person who's actually doing the hypnosis So whoever's making the video You first need to really make sure you trust them because if you don't trust them then or you know you don't think they're credible then you don't know what messages they're going to be putting into your brain and It's just not good. You know, it's just you should never let messages into your brain Unless you really know what they are and you actually agree with them or in the case of subliminals and hypnosis You don't have to know what the messages are but you should definitely trust the person who's giving you the messages So basically hypnosis as you probably know right it works mainly if you're already suggestible So if you're already quite open-minded and you're open to suggestions because most Well, not most people but a lot of people are are open-minded and open to suggestions But there's a lot of people especially in the spiritual community who are Not as suggestible They are more kind of discerning and they are more able to spot something that doesn't resonate or that doesn't feel right So and this is kind of a predicament, right? Because the main people who would be likely to use hypnosis would be spiritual or open-minded people So you kind of have this little bit of a paradox really But basically in a nutshell. Yes, hypnosis does work and it's very safe Only to the point where if you trust the person who's doing the hypnosis if you don't trust them Or if it's a bad hypnosis or if it's low quality Then it's not going to be so good. So there's a few ways you can tell whether the hypnosis is going to work or not The first one is just to look purely at you know Popularity metrics and I know that sounds a bit weird. You're thinking well, how can you judge something based on that? Well, the YouTube algorithm these days is pretty good And they've spent, you know a lot of money on making sure that the algorithm pretty much, you know It has some mistakes and some exceptions, but Usually if it shows a video to a lot of people it means a lot of people Engaged with that video and watched it a lot a lot of the way through Which is you is a pretty good indicator that that video is good, right? So if you see a hypnosis with a lot of views 9 times out of 10 that means that it's quite good because if it wasn't good people would just Immediately stop watching and YouTube would not promote it to anyone and this is something that you well You can test it out for yourself make your own YouTube video and you'll see that unless you make a really good video It won't be shown to anybody and so this is a really quite a it's a good rule of thumb It's a good place to start from So just look for a hypnosis and say right which one has ten views, right? And which one has like more than a hundred thousand views the ones with more than a hundred thousand usually Gonna be the better quality ones because they're the more popular ones that people engage with and keep listening to Now there is a kind of exception to that because what can also trick the algorithm is if the video is if it sounds good, right? So if you have hypnosis where the background music is really nice That's going to keep people listening just as just as much as a good hypnosis would So you have to you know use your own discernment for this a bit as well It's not just about how many views the video has it's also about the credibility of the person making the video So look back at their history. Do they have interviews? Have they you know? Maybe explained how they make the hypnosis tracks as they've been doing it for a long time These are quite good indicators that they are credible and they probably know what they're doing and have made a good track, right? I guess this doesn't just apply to hypnosis probably applies to any area of study, right? Usually if the person has been doing it for a long time teaching it for a long time Then they have some idea what they're talking about or at least you would hope they do right and the next kind of I guess obvious way of telling whether it's good a good hypnosis or not is first You look for the popularity, you know, do people in the comments say yeah, this really worked for me This was really good. Then you look at the creator. So how long they've been doing it and this kind of thing and then you look at the results, so you actually listen to the track yourself for a few minutes like three to five minutes and Notice how you feel Do you feel any kind of shifts happening? Do you feel that you're being guided? Effectively into a different state of thinking or feeling and if you are if you feel something Shift or something a little bit different That's a very good indicator that it's a good hypnosis So and it's a few other ways as well But then we're getting into more complicated stuff and from nine times out of ten You know those three things will help you discern like this is a good hypnosis This one will probably work and this one probably won't work. So yeah With that being said, let me leave a comment letting me know The channel or the kind of the person that you think makes the best hypnosis tracks Because I might want to reach out to them and do kind of like an interview or something Maybe get them on the podcast and that might be fun for you guys and something like that So yeah, let me know and I hope this made sense


Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of SugarMD, the ultimate diabetes channel. We talk about diabetes, we talk about insulin resistance, we talk about weight loss, you name it, everything about metabolism. I am Dr. Ahmet Ergin. I'm an endocrinologist and a diabetes educator practicing in Florida and New York. Today, I'm going to talk to you about who needs testing for diabetes. Now, I know a lot of you have diabetes, but most of you also have pre-diabetes or insulin resistant and you want to know if you need to be tested right now. Let's talk about that. So, if you are between age 40 and 70, which I think majority of my viewers are, and you are overweight or obese, especially if you have abdominal obesity, that is a huge risk factor. So, after age 40, if you have not been tested, please get checked.  That may not always be positive, so you may want to get tested for A1c and sometimes even 2-hour glucose tolerance test can help to diagnose diabetes. Now, if you do not have these risk factors, but you are 45 or above, you definitely want to get checked. That's the time where people start getting diabetes. Even if you are fit and you may think that, oh, hey, I work out. I do great. You know, I eat well. If it isn't your genes, it may happen to you because not every diabetes is type 2 diabetes. If you never heard of it, there's something called type 3 diabetes or 1.5 diabetes. Some people call it 1.5. Some people call it type 3. It can happen around age 40, 45. Sometimes even earlier, and then you don't necessarily have to be overweight or obese for that to happen. So definitely, if you are age 45 or above, make sure to get checked. So if you guys want more information, as you can see at the book right here, tells you more than enough information you want to know, 366 pages. If you have diabetes, you read this book, you can basically teach your doctor what to do. Don't do that.  And then the other thing is if you have something called acontosis naracans, now a lot of people don't know what that is, but it is basically a velvety tissue that is typically behind your neck or under your axilla armpits or the creases where your body creates creases. There is generally like brownish area that's more softer, especially happen in overweight individuals, a sign of insulin resistance.  And that's acontosis naracans. You can see in the picture right here. But if you have that, definitely I get checked for diabetes. So if you have risk factors for heart disease, like your family history of heart disease, for example, and many of the risk factors for heart disease actually accompanies the risk factors for type 2 diabetes, such as if you have high triglycerides, if you have a low HDL in your blood, like we discussed about abdominal obesity, if you have high blood pressure, these are also risk factors for heart disease and the obesity. And if you didn't realize this so far in our channel, diabetes or insulin resistance is the primary driving factor for heart disease. And more than two thirds of diabetics actually die from heart attacks. And the other one third die from complications of diabetes other than heart attacks. But cancer is also very common in diabetics. So, you know, contrary to the belief that most diabetics don't go blind or legs cut off or end up in dialysis, the ironic fact is that most of them die from heart attacks before they actually have the chance to develop those severe complications. But people don't really realize that people want to bring your blood sugars down, but they don't really care about their cholesterol as much. They don't care about their blood pressure as much. And that's a huge mistake. Like a tripod, you know, if you don't set the one leg right, you will still fall.  It's still like 160 over 90, you know, you have to do something about this, you know, check your blood sugars, make sure you're on top of your cholesterol as well. So, but anyways, back to the topic, I'm sorry, too much tangential here. But bottom line is, if you have risk factors for heart disease, definitely get checked for that and diabetes as well. If you're a woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome, you definitely need to get checked for diabetes. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is just another form of insulin resistance without blood sugars rise, but it can, it definitely is on the path to diabetes. So even children, children over 10 or above, if they have family history of diabetes, if they come from a certain heritage, if they come from certain nationality, like Hispanics are high risk, unfortunately for that. Asian Americans, especially the Asian Americans, I say, because the Asians are doing much better in Asia. And once they come in America, that's not great. So that they start developing diabetes, just because our diet here in Western world is not necessarily as good. So Indian Americans, for example, like Indians also with the lower BMI with the less obesity, like the Chinese or Korean or Filipino, when they develop obesity, they develop diabetes way faster than a typical American would, like when I say typical American, what I mean is like the people who are from European descent Americans, they are more lenient, they can gain more weight before they develop diabetes compared to the Asians. And then if you're pregnant women, definitely get checked. I mean, I think everybody gets checked now after week 24. If you are very high risk, if you develop gestational diabetes in the past, if you already have some problems in your blood sugar, it's definitely perfect to check it earlier. So you don't have to wait 24 weeks to realize that you actually have diabetes. So guys, I hope that was helpful. And if it was, please give a thumbs up, share this video with family and friends, and make sure you leave a comment. Talk to you guys. All right, thank you for watching. And I want you to be more informed and more educated. So to do that, go ahead and watch this next video right here.


There is going to be a Maya experience from 1st February to 8th February It's a week of an awesome experience with water Maya So if you know that you have never been to Ghana and you want to come to Ghana I mean first to 8th February is the best time for you to come and enjoy Ghana with me because I'm gonna be there myself This is not an ordinary trip. It's a trip that you're gonna come and meet entrepreneurs that have been interviewing and also get the chance to explore all the part of Ghana and Eight days so check out the link in the description book that experience. I mean, um, it's it's affordable Down in Accra This is not one of a kind though, there's so many houses that are empty all over Accra Actually, the biggest one is probably the Saglemi housing project, which was built by the government 1100 houses which are completely empty, but here we are today in houses ranging from 450,000 to 1.1 million dollars So here we are and there's 33 houses here and 15 of them are still for sale and they finished three years ago And as you can see there's hardly anybody here And we're going to get into why the people that have bought these houses are not living here later in the video So this is kind of like a ghost town and it's actually like freaking me out of it We're going to check out the houses inside and It's just such a shame because there's so many people that don't have anywhere to live actually in Accra Yet there's these massive houses that could easily fit like more than one family empty And even in the park it's a ghost town But to be honest, this is exactly what I look for when I'm looking for a place for my kids Somewhere for them to play Roads pavements they could ride their bikes around here It's just so strange that there's nobody here I'm imagining the parties that could be had in this clubhouse with this big space and the massive pool Can you think of the pool parties? Now I'm going to enter one of the houses It actually has so much space. It even has its own private pool And yeah, amazing amount of space here I mean, actually, I don't know why I'm knocking like I know there's nobody inside Oh my gosh, who is this actual day for having me on your channel again? Thank you so much for Bringing them to the beautiful ghost town inside East Lagoon. I mean I found this place No one lives here.  Honestly, actually no man like you like nobody else would be having a shoot over them going around What do you think about it here? I need to ask you because you are coming to my home Okay, yeah About the ghost village. I actually really like it Like I love the fact that there's the houses have their own space But then there's also like the communal spaces in the middle. Okay And yeah, I mean we should definitely check it out It's so unique in terms of how it's being built because in Ghana you never see this kind of designs everywhere No, it's true. That makes the ghost town very unique. Yeah. Yeah I got this to myself. Okay, so I want 1 million I want to see where you're living. No, give me $100,000. Oh, well, and you give it to me Sounds about right for here So You've experienced the ghost town now. Let me show you the ghost house. Okay. Let's see. It's so hot in here. I'm sorry I'm excited. Do you know the first thing I'm seeing is a lot of natural light and there's this skylight About I love the skylight. You love the skyline, right? So like inside the ghost house everything is huge. Yeah, see Guess what this is This is the living room It's just huge everything is huge in here Let me come with me man. This this is a ghost house, man. So the whole of this place Is where you can have Dinner lunch break fast. So this is your dining I stay cool in here because no one lives here. Yeah, yeah, so This is the kitchen. Wow pink Not my favorite color, but I live here because I'm a ghost Yeah Oh really For being a ghost I love being here Okay, but I always love to see people around me. I don't think this is the perfect place for me. But as a ghost I'm fine So this room is for guests. Okay, so In case you want to join the ghost clan. I can give you this place all for yourself Yeah Exactly So this house is like a three-story Building that's why I mean people don't I don't know why ghanians don't like three-story buildings, man Because this is a perfect house for ghanians. You want to go up? Yeah, really? I actually like this. It looks like it could be like a wall. I think I think they did a lot of investment Oh, wow, it's it's glass, you know, I honestly think you could feel a water like in here and it could be like shooting up Okay Okay, so this is where the bedroom start So But here you can just stand just to see what's happening down Exactly But when when you knock I was here they had to vanish and appear there All right So it's a six bedroom house. So this is the yeah, so this is the first one in here It feels like we're asking good This is the bathroom for another Yeah, so if you have kids They can occupy in here They have a wardrobe Yeah, I don't want to waste too much of your time, but you guys should come with me. Um So there's another room Which one do you want to go this one? Okay, this one another walking closer and time There's another balcony. Hello No one respond to you because you are literally in the ghost town. Welcome to the ghost town. No one lives here Yeah, so that's another room And I think all the rooms are in sweet blood all the rooms. Yeah so So that's the motorway The n1 the n1 Is it n1? Yeah, the motorway is called n1. Oh what you just it's because you don't drive. Oh my goodness Geez, I don't have a cow. You know being a ghost No, I don't need a car But that's the n1 That's what Vanessa is saying. I have no idea about that. So whenever you buy this property, definitely you have the view of the n1 Okay This bathroom is like the size of my bedroom. The women will come and waste time. Did you see this Vanessa? No, I didn't. They sometimes feel like they're just in a drop. That's way too low but any So one reason why I think that there's nobody here or I know why there's nobody here Is because the developer and the owner of this land said that The houses that have been sold have only been sold to a couple of people So three people have bought like three houses each And then they just leave them empty So basically like people have a lot of money people comment under my videos saying like These aren't for Ghanaians and that's what I'm saying I'm like, do you actually know how much money some people have That they can buy three of these and just leave them empty and they're not even bothered if they're rented out or anything like that And so I think that's one reason or it could be like they have one as a second home And then two that they're just leaving they don't want to leave their money in the bank So they buy things like this and so that their money will appreciate over time But but the one that I was hiding inside. Yeah, no one lives there. I have no place for myself I think it's kind of expensive. That's why people are not purchasing I mean these houses because you know the one that I live in do you know how much it costs? How much 1.1 million? It's a lot of money. That's a lot of money and the cheapest that you can get in here is $450,000 I was trying to see if I can find like $1 in my pocket There's every $1 in my pocket. How can I afford to buy $450,000 up? But I think um, and also you see we have Properties like this sitting down. No one is staying in here. If you think maybe This can happen Maybe we can go to the street Find the people sleeping on the street that they don't have places to stay definitely come and stay in here Have a bit of luxury and then in future when people come in to buy There's other people. Yeah. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, instead of having an empty house I know it is it so sleeping on the street. It is so so sad. It's like even I mean like actually look at the amount of space here. Oh my goodness. It's like, but I love this place, man Like yeah, I think this is one of the most beautiful estate that I've seen in Ghana in person and even the greens You know, I mean when it comes to Ghana, so many real estate developers don't like greens I don't want to build and leave greens, you know space for you to plant something And seeing this in here makes me feel like this is one of the unique Estates here in Ghana and I think after this video we can fill the ghost town. Yeah, definitely I did one video in Rwanda Ghost town in Rwanda. Yeah, I saw it. It was really a ghost town And when I went there this time around the place was actually full and then they told me that come and check Two years ago. You said that And now the place is full. I hope it's a little what you can do This video that we're doing can't I mean How do you call it inspire rich men's of Ghana or rich men in the diaspora to come and fill the ghost town And you can also buy it as an investment. If you have money in the bank, don't let them You see this banks you can't even trust them. Yeah, they'll give me the money. I'll keep it safe here for you And you'll be living in the house at the same time You're like give me the money and I'll keep it I can live here come and party Yeah And go back to my one room because I live in the one room house Please let me also I mean have a touch of luxury Sometimes man, but Vanessa after coming here. What do you think? So I think that this is the perfect place for like families for my kids. They would love it here They could ride their bikes play in the park go in the pool. Um, I think like the houses I think these ones are four hundred and fifty thousand Dollars I think like that's more reasonable. Um, I mean it's obviously still like on the high end But I think if people are looking for somewhere that is totally safe and secure and it's in a neighborhood This is a good option. So if anyone is interested Then you can just email us at hello at venesacanby.com and we'll put you in touch with the developer who can like Answer your questions. I mean not just email. I think the number is on the screen Okay Contact and reach out to venesa. I mean come get one. But what I love about this place is the privacy I mean, even though it's a whole community, but everyone has its own privacy Yeah, no, it's true. I take you to all these houses and see that all of them are I mean fans I mean, everyone has their own compound. Yeah, that is one thing. I really like about that You're going to share in here is the uh medical the playground and you have a clubhouse where you can swim But if you have money like me get yourself the 1.1 million and you have a personal pool. Yeah I mean if I was living here, that would be my dream one that one right there because it has like a proper wall So it is private. You've got your own pool and everything So who's buying it for me? No, I'm okay, you know Is that that would be my dream? I'm like, I thought venesa is going to remove 1.1 million dollars right now for us to buy You know, when you buy it like six bedroom, man, keep me one. Oh, yeah, sure.
