Hello everybody Andrea Tresca here with dental L tutoring. I apologize about the mess. We have moved But now all of our boxes are pretty much everywhere because we just haven't had time to unpack them all yet in my office It's fairly clean, but I don't have enough light and I have um, I'm looking up What do you call them the rain lights on Amazon because I need more lights for this But I'm doing my research, so I haven't ordered one yet, but I will and probably about a week Okay, so then I will always have light. I should be in a nice clean office soon enough So sorry about the mess behind me, but in the video today I would like to talk to you guys about how to floss and I don't know why I never thought about this before but um I had somebody ask me on my YouTube channel to show you all how to so whether you are a patient Watching this or a person watching this or if you're a dental assistant or a dental hygienist Who wants to know how to talk to their patients about how to floss because there's a right way and there's a wrong way And if you're not shown or taught then how do you know right like that's okay like that's normal so first things first is a Lot of people ask me what type of floss should I buy? It depends on the person honestly some people like thicker floss some people like thinner floss I love thin floss I have bought a cheat You know floss in the past and I just hated it so much that I I Tried to floss, but I'm like no like I can't even do this So I find that if you don't like the floss that that you are using you won't floss So so then you think you hate to floss, but you're probably just using the wrong floss So find one that you like. I actually like this one here I'll try to focus. Oh, it's so bright. You guys can't really see it But it's a nice thin floss and I like the one Called actually, sorry. Let me see if this is easier to show you guys To try to focus there we go Kind of but not really But I do also like or will be satin floss if you guys have a Costco depending on where you live They typically sell them at Costco and it's a lot cheaper because you get them like a pack of four or five or something And they're awesome So flossing so what you want to tell your patients is to use the Half length of their arms. So does everybody see that? Sorry. It's kind of hard to show you guys But half length so that's the length you want take it off Let whoops that kind of ripped a little bit and then wrap it around your middle finger Okay, your middle Fingers here and use your index finger to sort of show you where you want it to go It takes practice. Okay, so do not think okay. I can't do this. What's happening? It takes practice you guys honestly When I was learning how to be a dental assistant many many years ago when I was 19 Having to floss somebody else's teeth. I had the hardest time. It took me forever. So it takes practice So wrap it around your middle finger use your index fingers to sort of show you guys where you want it to go I didn't think to get teeth to show you so I'm going to show you guys on my teeth So I'm sorry if it looks kind of weird, but I'll show you guys I guess on a front on like a front tooth area So what I want you guys to do so the middle finger index finger and kind of go up like this It's kind of hard to see his name and in a C shape emotion towards the tooth. So like this see that and The key is to use a C shape Shape against the tooth. So you are actually taking the plaque off because if you do this Like your car. No, that's it. You're not sort of getting all of the plaque So does that make sense? So think think about this way like this is your tooth. It's really bright Let me just kind of shut the window here. See if that helps. Does that help a little bit? Actually, I think it does I hope now it's not too dark, but so a C shape Against your tooth. So think of my finger as a tooth like this because if you're Simply doing this you're missing this whole area of the tooth. So let me try that again So let me show you guys I guess and see say like this. I guess like that Sorry, that's really hard to do in front of a webcam. So see how I do not want you doing this Does everybody see how that's too quick and it just simply does not work. So I want you to do this So does everybody see how I'm doing that like C shape against the tooth about three times So up down up down up down about three times on each side So over here and over here, and I'm sorry something just popped up again. So let me just cancel those little suckers out There we go So does everybody see that so that's how I want you all to show your Patience how to floss and if you're a person That's how to floss and make sure to do all of the teeth Okay. Yes, it is harder to reach the ones in the back I'll try to show you here, but it might be kind of hard to see it's normal that it's a little bit harder It is harder for everybody If this is just too hard for you to use there's Something out there called the floss picks which I thought I had a sample, but of course I can't find them They are excellent.  Trust me. So floss every day I like to floss if I'm actually sitting in front of the TV So if I'm watching a movie or or a show or something That's when I like to do it because I'm sitting there anyway I Don't think I have ever flossed before sleeping because I'm just too tired at that point But that's just me. I know some people like to floss in the in the shower I have other things to do in the shower. So I don't have time to floss either But some people like that, right? But I flossed while I'm watching TV and that's what I tell a lot of my patients unless you need to use a mirror Which I do happen to have one here Then you can't Do it in front of the TV unless you have a mirror near the TV, right? So that's okay, too Like some people need to use a mirror and some people don't that's okay Just whatever is the easiest for you and something else that I should mention It is possible to floss too hard. So be careful. So you have to be thorough But don't floss too hard. So with the flossing you want to go in between the teeth Until you feel the area stop So you don't want to hurt yourself and go like in there But make sure to reach the bottom of the tooth. So does that make sense? Well, all right. Yeah But I've seen a lot of people who are like You know and that can hurt you so don't hurt yourself and if you're not sure how to do it Then talk to your dental assistant or your dental hygienist and they will will show you like I show people how to floss at least Every time I work at least once in a day because it's not the easiest thing So do not be a shame to ask so everybody so I hope that helped if you guys have questions Just let me know


Our paper focuses on how do firms from Senegal learn by exporting or export by learning. Evidence from Senegal and we do this work with collaboration of GE. As it was discussed previously, international trade benefits the trade partners through exposing country to the knowledge of their trading partner and the learning by exporting effect may be important at both country level but also at the individual level in the firm. And this presumption of learning by exporting effect appears to be one of the main justification of behind the government export policy mainly in Africa. And Senegal like as many African country after the access to independence abandoned his involved looking protectionist development strategy adopted during the 1980 years for more open trade program and this has a reaction to the fail of previous impulsive situation industrial policy. And but however since now there is no evidence of the testing the effect of trade openness on the firm efficiency. And when as it is discussed when we talk about the relation between productivity and trade this can go both sense. Does export experience improve firm efficiency or are the most efficient firm most likely to become exporter. And we investigate this question by look looking the cause are linked between exporting and productivity at the manufacturing Senegalese firm and we use firm level data for 1998 and 2011. And this is a unique panel data because it was not already get from since now. And we account for all this and the genetic identity and self selection by this following an approach similar to big stone and would allow us to generally estimate both the equation of productivity and the decision to export controlling for other unobserved effects. And our main funding indicates evidence of both self selection and the most of the most efficiency firm in the export market but also a learning by exporting in the market. And we find also some aspects that still skill and access to intangible asset like brevet and license have a high effect on the process of learning and also foreign owned firm learn more from exporting as well also firm small firm seem to learn a particularly from exporting. The outline of our presentation will have a briefly overview of the Senegalese economy. The main episode of the industry policy in Senegal and the methodology we use to estimate the learning by exporting effects the result and some conclusion and what we plan to do in the next step. This is quickly when you see this table you see that the tertially services activity are contribute more to the GDP and the secondary industry activity contribute around 25% of the GDP. And this is what we have here. And when we see which sector are driving the growth we see that the tertially sector are the more driven sector of the growth and the secondary sector contribute not too much to the growth GDP. And when we focus to the industry in Senegal we see that most activity are on food industry followed by the mechanical industry and textile who occupied a big place in the Senegalese economy lost plus by the years because of the independence it was most industry textile industry but after it become we have a low contribution and I will not focus too much. What we can learn about the political industry in Senegal is that it become by protectionism with higher tariff and non-tariff protection for industry and this to boost firm for exporting but after this have not good result this we see that the competitiveness was not very strong it was very weak and the government cannot finally support all this activity to support firm by exporting and after this with the adjustment structure policy we see there is more difficulty for firm to survive and there is many was closed and there is many lost of employment at the firm industry firm level manufacturing and after the 2000 years we see that there is more organization policy in Senegal and this there is you can see this there is many agency was created by the government to support the development of the firm particularly to push them to export and how we deal to analyze the relation between exporting and productivity we take account the facts of most of the common problem which when testing the effect of exporting is androgynity and sample selection basis and because of this we use this original approach dealing with this and we assess this link using a function of production a cup to glass one and we involved jointly estimation of dynamic productivity and a dynamic discrete choice for decision to export and where we allow the causability running both together and we use also the strategy to control for in-observe heterogeneity in the form of firm specific effect that are controlled across the two equation and also what we do here we calculate we use the TFP indicator as a variable to measure the firm efficiency and we derive this initially this TFP at the first step before estimating together the self-selection and learning by exporting and this is how the form of the equation and this different step first the cup to glass we derive the TFP estimation and we use this TFP estimation as a function to explain the learning by exporting and there is like a variable the TFP and it depends also on of exporting and also some characteristic of the firm and this characteristic there are standard characteristic age size but also we have the opportunity in this data to take care of about the skill of the worker we introduce this characteristic of the firm and also foreign capital capital labor but also we have information on access to innovation and access to license and brivet and how we account for under genitive already talks is we use a probit function for the decision to export with this characteristic and also we estimate this two equation using a JMM system and one step procedure using start up on common we have get from the code and we use also unbalanced panel data to account for the movement of entry and exit of the firm in the exporting market because just now we'll show the data and we'll show that this movement and exit and entry is very important in the data we have I think I already tell you in the second step what is you only do and also this data just have a look it is we have 14 here and after cleaning we have 1177 manufacturing film and we have a lot of observation including exporter and non exporter and here we can see that how this is repetition between the firm and buyer and you see that year by year the number of firm in the data set are not the same that means there is exist an entry of firm and this have a big look of we do the export study this time we never export permanent export single entry single exist and the switcher and the single entry is the firm once they enter in the export market after the first year but they did not go out from the exporting market the single exist can enter any years in the period but once they exist the export market they did not come back again and the switcher are firm who are moving in the export market and you can see that the switcher firm are important so it is important to take care of this movement in using unbalanced panel data at this moment but when doctor round present we can see that there is other methodological approach we can use to improve to take care of this aspect in the testing the learning so this is just to see in the different sector how we can appreciate the different category of firm entry single entry switcher permanent and with never export and this is the result we can get but globally we can see that many of our variable are significant and the relation we have are expected and we can see it more here at the self selection level we can see a strong persistent of the previous export firm in the export market that means there is learning by exporting and the significance is fine we can see also that the coefficient of lagged export study variable is positive and meaning that high and high significance that means that there is a strong persistent of the previous export firm in the export market and also the variable on skill worker the coefficient is positive that means that skill have a positive effect on the probability to export and also the firm who access to brevet and listens have increase the probability to export also the size have a positive impact have no effect on the decision to export that means not the big firm who was exporting and at the learning by exporting effect we see also there is an evidence of learning by exporting so the relation go both together and exporting firm also can acquire external knowledge through various channel in the exporting market for example foreign owner we see that this is a positive effect on the learning by exporting and also skill worker this very coefficient is positive and this results suggest that firm which skill worker are more we skill worker are more able to reap the benefits of x positive to export market than the other firm and also access to license have higher gain of efficiency in exporting and the size the coefficient is negative that means that small firm seem to particularly learn more by exporting and what we can see that with the size of the firm that can confirm what the government in Senegal is implementing to support the small firm with many kind of agency which help them to access to credit to also have some agglomeration which is established in Dakar and other region to help small firm to export and to improve their productivity and in term of policy implication we can see Senegal manufacturing have much more to learn by promoting its manufacturing soon towards exporting so this is a first idea we can afford policy implication we can draw from the finding and by increasing the ability of domestic firm to overcome foreign market barrier as well assimilated fury benefit ranging from exporting and what we see this positive effect of skill both on the decision to export and also by learning by exporting we can drive this policy implications that the government could help developing curriculum into college and senior secondary school or other training programs that able company to have the skills they need in the process and this can help them to more exporting and this can be in line with the discussion the government have with the leader of the firm taking that there is not a conversion that on what they are learning at the university and what the firm need in term of skill and the government have many problem at the university now because not enough russians and very big number of students and in the last debate I follow the firm leader ask government to establish program with school less heavy than university and this can bring skill they need and also in terms of access of brevet that we have in Senegal some we have some society or some department of ministry who take care of license in term of in the agro industry sector but still now there is difficulty for small firm to access to brevet and license and we think that government maybe have can have some strategy to facilitate access to brevet and license to small firm and maybe give some subsidy to access to this and finally also we have there is sport to favor to the small and medium firm to strengthen their productivity gain on the external market and the initiative already understanding favor to the small plant might be continued by the government or almost you can go further for this to help small firm to improve their to avoid barrier to access to export exporting and to improve their productivity in the next step we plan G and N me to revisit the estimation because at this moment usually estimating the we deflate the tape but we use the end of deflator at the global level but we are we know that we might do it at the sector level and maybe this can improve the estimation and we also plan to use as a approach testing the learning by exporting like propensity or matching just this is just an exercise of sensibility analysis and when we do it you can see if the result will change or it will be confirmed this is just a methodological way to do thank you very much


Today we will be making Skeleton Lights for Halloween. Today we're going to make a little outdoor ghost light made out of cheesecloth.


It's a unique house is your boy. He's CEO and I'm here with the lovely amazing official mr. Make or what's going on?

I'm from a pleasant girl But I don't like to jump in I'm from Dallas, Texas Because when they come out of this, I'm putting on for the whole Dallas, Texas. That's awesome from Dallas Apops from the country from Greenville or Commerce, Texas mom she from Houston So you raise with your mom and dad Not together. I mean, okay My dad and my mom But they were both were involved. Oh when you got too bad.  You can't beat me no more It don't make no sense. It wasn't even that it was just I was doing stuff No normal nine year I was doing not at nine like what give me an example Give me an example trying to go into the stores with BB guns from Rob Sit down looking at me like what you doing? So yeah, it was on that type of time But I always wonder about that when you see kids end up in those situations Is it looking back now cuz you're older? Do you think it was because of your environment or do you think it because your dad wasn't in the house with you? Or you know, why did you end up doing those things? Environment I mean my mom she had a lot of stuff going on so I Was just outside and when you outside you By me so they had going is what I wanted to have So I don't want to say I was a follower, but I was young right. Yeah Okay, everybody else and at nine were you dibbling dabbling in music at that time? No, I never never was nothing about music never ever. What did you want to be at nine? Football player, okay all the way up until 18 19 20, so were you always like as a child? Were you always like the tallest the biggest? Beat everybody up. I got a on my pop side. He has six kids. I'm the oldest I got a sister that's like three months younger than me. She's my same size Brother, I got another sister. She's like two years younger than this. She's the same size I have a brother that just turned 18. He's the same size. It comes from your daddy's side Yeah, my dad's six eight three hundred something pounds Yeah, so I was supposed to go This nigga man even focused on something there. Why do you think you didn't go? Went to school with Minnesota. I was in college and you got a scholarship for football, but I got home sick got bored started smoking Rest is history. It's always that because we know somebody else who came on here and whenever I'm sick He got home sick. That's Austin and he went got home sick and he he was like top notch in basketball Yeah, and He came back home got a girl pregnant and stuff like that and it is, you know But if you had to go back to that point in time when you were away What would you tell yourself would you still do what you did and be where you are now? Would you I mean I wouldn't change nothing because if they wouldn't happen I wouldn't be right here where I'm there right now. Okay, so you don't be like Oh, I wish I was this stuck with football because I knew I would have been in the NFL right now I'll listen to my dad do that my whole life man. If I would do this out of me if I did It happened. I'm glad it happened because now I can make something else happen for the rest of my family So you see what I like about that, you know, because people who keep on living on the What if I wish there's time to live in the past and not really pay attention to the future and where they're going Because if you keep looking back, you can never look forward You know, I will say you can't look back without running into something So you gotta you gotta keep your iPhone. It's like a person who's shooting for a bull's eye They you know when they shooting for the target trying to hit the mark They basically once you miss the mark, you don't concentrate on the mark you missed you just reach for another era Mmm. Am I right? Yes Nobody cares about the mark you missed, you know what I'm saying? So but you know when you look at What you're bringing to the table now versus what you were about to do in in football or whatever God has a purpose in a plan for your life and it's bigger than what you could even ask or think and So you you you you walk it in purpose, bro You see what I'm saying, so that's the most important thing When I see I start talking like this, that's what happened with the rest of the son He thought it was dope after I started talking spiritually, but I believe in God bro So I don't never put that to the side.  You know what I'm saying So even though I was cutting up I might be getting my gun one minute and get my Bible to next But I always I had a balance man My manager, but he really he my uncle too. That's dope. That's dope When I first and he not even like my real uncle like he's married in that though when I first met him out I watched him go from That's right into Preaching in front of people. That's right. So now it's just you know, I'm glad I got my team man And that's the dopest thing man. So I'm sorry, but so you football you Smoke got back home. What happened after that?  Just disappoint everybody. Nobody want to look out for you when you get back So I got back was it hard to face them when you came back. Did you feel any guilt when you came back? I didn't feel I Really, I just tried to look past it. I really tried to dwell on it. I did it. I messed up. I tried to go to another school They didn't work out then after a while Now you 18 ain't got no job. Not in school. You got to come up on some money Street industry And that ain't and that ain't far-fetched when it come down to so many people end up in well You got to realize these is black people see and that's what people don't like to brother, it ain't It ain't odd to me that that we face different situations because I understand where we came from So when I see it and I see some of the strategies that that God uses versus what the what what the devil tries to do to our young black men and our people I know already that That That's gonna be if there's a wheel as a way, you know, I'm saying I don't I don't see him winning I see you winning. I see God using you to win So when you came home, yeah, you had some difficult times and but it was really just you going through pressured moments So you could be better You see what I'm saying and that's the good thing because if you don't what don't kill you make you stronger So that's the good thing. I see I see everything Especially like you said it does mean every American man. This is the same cycle Just what you what you do After you take that ear what you do with it after that is what? Makes that cycle But do you have any kids?   Are you? Okay, we're gonna get into the music. So when did you discover the music? You could rap yeah, how are you and who inspired you in college? None of that. I just thought of everything Who inspired you what where did it come from? Um, I got a partner named Rosama. You know a bunch of songs with me But he he's been rapping since he was like nine years old I am even to 2016 though when I met him He was the only person I knew that was getting in trouble for standing up on like the blanchroom tables Like he performed And we just this is what I got introduced to you know, I'm smoking at this time. So you're vibing. Yeah, I'm smoking I'm chilling and we I'll get the freestyling. He like you got some you need to But I really just take it serious until What uh, when wouldn't that happen with us to that?  I miss his like his first real birthday birthday Yeah, that's good. I missed. Yeah. I mean it was good. That's our lesson right there I'm gonna see grandma. I see it was like everything was everything but they pulled her right?  That's good And that just really messed me up. That's good. I ain't gonna lie I went back and did some dirt, but it was it wasn't what I was doing It wasn't I wouldn't hurt nobody. I was just coming up on some change I did what I could do got my family out of the environment we was in and The rest of the little bread I had went towards this music stuff man.  He's back there It may I say that's good cuz that's what changed me. Yeah, the people he don't he don't even know it But you know it changed my life when when you go through stuff, it'll change you it'll help you You know and and in a great it made it to where I was ready for you, right?   Yeah, yeah, you see I'm saying you're gonna be out here Yeah, I look like this same stuff if you saying I don't know why but every time I get locked up They put me in like a old here, but I don't know why already, but they do it every time I guess because I'm so big Medical problems. Yeah But uh, they were saying the same thing man like man You can't do something you can't do what you did what you did to get yourself in you can't think about it Just think about what you're gonna do when you get out But you get a lot of knowledge when you're in there with them because one thing they always try to get you game I'm here. I've heard so many stories. I'm sitting there talking to you. I like this. I'm 23 years I already in real fly and it's sad to say but a lot of like street knowledge Just any knowledge when it comes to I'm saying that type of stuff I learned in there in there like my pops. He ain't had me in no trap spot He didn't do nothing. I stayed in the ski when I stayed with my pops.  That's it.  I mean bad environment I mean some crazy circumstances, but still don't end up in the streets. Yeah, it's like I don't blame my mom But you know, I'm blaming because it was like that's what she had to be. That's what she was making up Really? That's how she was taking care of me.  I would have been dead. I've been dead Life in prison something like that.  We're not over their shoulders to see what they're watching all the time We can't be so They could be thinking about so we said it couldn't be thinking about going on the street It could be thinking about anything and something that you say resonate with that child or that adult that makes them change their way, you know what I mean, so Never say that my life is boring. You're not the only one going through what you What you went through boss talk, you know what I mean, which is boss to help somebody else Yeah, yeah, and your story is dough, you know, and you can rap like hell So that's the most important thing man for me, you know, and I'm saying you mentioned row row summer a while ago Strange fruits is one of y'all song that y'all got how did y'all process that? What was the whole game cuz that's your that's your road dog. That's the nigga you mentioned You mentioned that nigga like he's the nigga that you rock with what made y'all work on that song together Let's talk about where did it come from? I had a Just linked up with believe it or not.  It's never been I see this beat now you go, you know a couple days you go, right? I'm gonna go right and then we're gonna come back No, I already have mine wrote in the studio or he already have his rope and then we'll just be like All right you on this song Straight up we so competitive that I'd be like I bet he'd be like I bet and it go in go in Every time every time every time and it's so many songs that we got. Yeah It got to the point that my label was like So you don't punchy and you just basically go in there right? Yeah, all right. All right, that's dope Say they punchy and it's what they need to do now It's just it is the pain like Just a regular rap song. I probably have it done in 30 minutes But like now my life want me to do stuff like I'll make a twerk song I tried to make a twerk song get to me like But it's good to venture off into other zones and come out of your comfort zone I got a I got a shot. It's like a pop sledge hip hop song coming out on 21st. I did that In like 30 minutes, bro. He's right 30 minutes. So you say your label. So you got sir It's a distribution. This is a vision deal. You know the message. Okay, that's dope. That's dope. That's good You still got you pretty much got all the leeway to do things how you want to do I just got a marketing team. Yeah, I got a team basically Yeah, yeah, yeah, so would you ever sign? You got to be able to take care of me and all my family and I got at least ever to have At least 50% of what's supposed to be mine. That's as far as masters Publishing at least give me free time cuz I don't want all the millions. I don't care about the money That money will come. Yeah shows merch. That's how I can come So I don't care about what you what it what advanced you can give me. I don't care about that I'll make my own bread. Yeah, so as long as I get to keep majority of my masters or not, you can give me You can give me 300,000 dollars. I don't care about that.  I want this or one that, you know Working together though, I don't that's a but some of these labels try to get you to like some of these labels like That's really why right now. It's kind of best to go independent You know through a distribution distribution because these labels trying to get people like they want majority of your masters They're trying to he like I didn't I could have been signed for him, but they wanted 65% of my masters No, no, but at least you're smart enough to know see see a lot of times the other people that were before You didn't have these you have something to look at. See, I don't know. I don't I don't know just because I've been in the I'm just Numbers I know money. Yeah, but even then you hear so many bad stories about people who Been through all these bad deals.    I said I want to infuse my son.  I'm serious We had no deep voice and I didn't 407 episodes nigga. Yeah Man you be only doing that studio, I know it so when you when you started doing the music and Cuz I first he said you didn't believe in yourself and stuff like that and your friend was like no you got some When was it that you heard yourself and you you really started like man? I might I really started taking music seriously like this same time last year. So like December Last year. I was like, you know what I? Got I got my family in the apartment. Let me never let me let me don't get on this and so I think I had I wrote a couple songs. I made a little EP It was just the fact that I Don't know I guess this now posting on social media people was messing with it and so me going from having 1015 likes in a week to having 100 200 likes in a day because I done made a song That's that's really what kept me going exactly and after I saw getting paid for it through streams And I'm like, what? I'm getting paid for moving my lips It's over it it made you go research to find out to make sure that you're doing this correctly because there's a lot of Inns and out to this business. I Was just dropping music for the longest hours every two weeks. I was trying to drop drop drop drop I didn't care about nothing else But now I know, you know, like it sounds like I right now that I'm pretty sure y'all have heard in love I can't do nothing with So have I said that you're like when you you know to build up and all that he feel like he was a big part of Putting the music out there and and how do you what do you think about that? Have played if it wasn't for that point, I probably wouldn't be right. Really straight up. Did he even try to try to sign you? I knew that was coming cuz he Why you didn't sign with him? I mean he he kind of just like asked me he was like He's like man, you got any deals on the table. I told him I was like, yeah, I got a couple I gave him a rundown. He was like, well, look don't sign with this label for sure I was like and I said something I was like, man, I'm really waiting on my top off chain He was like, that's why I was calling me. I really trying to see what I could do Yeah, he's like you already got too much on the table. He was like just you know, that's dope That's good that he didn't say now I forget to have me sign with me. No, let me tell you He a dope dude man dope dude and real genuine dude, it's not many people like that That's right. Once people get that money people change at least a little bit. I don't Have pint probably the same dude from high school.  Yeah, he ain't no genuine person And I thank God that God brought him into my life cause like I say he been when I didn't have We didn't have hardly no subscribers and when I called him and connected with the people say I think I called peace I said give me that nigga number the peace be with him a lot and it was like and push a man I'm a push man at the mall with before I started this God did that too because I even I know he would top off Now he like I really wrap I'm like nigga, whatever, you know, I'm throat. I'm just gonna talk That's what I do cuz he don't even look it and we were just walking I said that girl looking at your nigga Then we brought her on the show too. It was a girl that with us that day but then after that Anyway fast forward to have paint When when we reach out to him all of that whole team little runny all of them they embrace boss talk They love the show man And I can pick up the phone and call those guys and I know they gonna answer and say what you need us to do And that's that's love bro. Yeah, you know and and I know that's favor You know and that's how that's how this thing is with me and you when I when I did finally connect with you I was looking at the genuineness of it and and that is our Authentic and then that way I know I can love even more. That's the most important thing people don't realize When you do something for me, you you don't even know. Yeah. Yeah, nigga.   I'm here for you. You know, I'm saying I think he was in LA one while there wasn't you? Trying to get a lot going in Which one you like the the the the most And landing you at the booty club You didn't we were just in the studio working But what you who you was in the studio with I was at a Doppler studios You've been a killing them niggas. Don't you mean I think we went to Atlanta was out there for four four days I was out there for four days. I've made I did two songs a day My label was like me. We ain't never had nobody do that using that work It was like man We we bring people out for four days and they make three songs and four days using straight focus Well, I was just in there knocking stuff out and that and that was the first time they ever had me just Writing in the studio like oh, here's a beat right to it. Wow. I'm writing the beats I ain't even like just to show them that I could do you can do it now my first trip Yeah, how hard is it to write to a beat that you don't like it's one of those out with But but they they flew out A producer I actually really like from Memphis named trash bag beats Any of my songs go here to trash bag beat is him. What about him? You like so much. He's just he got soul I'm like my pops here. He a real R&B old so I grew up on eyes the brothers, but then they could be here. You ain't listen to that music Oh, but then they got some books in there saying Our souls like the soul just connect. He older though. He old I'm 23, but It's me to be times. I don't even like his beats. It just be the samples he picked I go on his YouTube channel be on there all day What a talent and that's that's love man. I like I know I'm gonna give me some soul from this dish Okay, so if you talk about so would there be a soul artist R&B artists that you would like to collaborate one day and if so who? That's a good question. I know you mentioned eyes the brother, but I Mean, I probably wouldn't just like actually collab. Yeah sample, but I definitely said, okay I've done a lot. I've done a lot. That's I got so many songs. Yeah, I listen to them Oh, no, because they got sampled. They got same like some of those They won't I'm talking about rags two hundreds of thousands for some of them like the mr. Trouble one. Yeah. Oh, man They probably gonna take that one down on the minute cuz even did and ran up so much numbers Yeah, my label they won't even let me touch the money for that. They won't They gonna try to sue for it, but whenever they try to sue you said I want to be able to give it right back to I like we ain't even touched it Before we signed on Wow, but I see some good like just thinking about what you're saying Where that is concerned cuz in my mind at first when you said it I'm like, so why even mess with it if you know that it's go but then it's building you is putting eyes on you It's making people see I've been telling I'll before the For the labels anything was even hitting me up. I was telling my manager. I don't I don't care about this money right now I care about building because that money is gonna come that's right As long as I can stay afloat right now that money gonna come it's gonna come you can't It's too much money in the world for it not to come. That's right I'm saying so all I care about right now is building relationships and Building my platform, but I love what I love that But I've met so many people in the music industry, especially when they're just starting up that they're like They care about the money because of that man. I got bills to pay now. I got people to feed now So I need the money now You know what I mean, I mean that's understood. I mean you got a You can you got to invest in yourself. Yeah, you got to figure something out And that's where a lot of people that actually be good at music and the message stuff up Cuz they are here trying to do this to get this money And I missed they survived Thanks to the plug. How did you come up with that? I Was gonna ask that next ask that question, but I'm like, okay, but he's big you might be the plug He's gonna get that question I'm big Okay Trying to get the plug taken out for the long leave it alone man. Yeah, it's not it's unique Yeah, no, but it could be you could you plug the music bringing a different kind of music in That's part of the reason I was dead and I don't even know he saw my my bling and my car He was like me what you do. I told him I was a rapper. Asked me what my rap name was. I Told him big extra plug. He said, oh, I know what you do. He said that I had my gun that was in my name. I had a little bit of weed and they ran with a lot for care Mm-hmm Wow, but you we gonna be alright. Yeah, the guns. I mean, I might take me I might have to take some classes or something for the little weed Ain't nothing to agenda. No, what do you have on there a certain amount it that that can't mess with you or something? No, I just believe in I'm believing God. I don't even think about that stuff like y'all do It was the fact that I had because I mean broke it there to me made sense. I Whether I had a it would have been a guard splitter any type of as long as you have a gun and that at the same time If I would just had the gun in my car smell like weed, I was good Yeah, you got a good attitude about it I've been mad as hell I mean when I mean Now if I was still I ain't a lot if I was still broke I Know feeling like Dennis was how's the process of that man? It looked fun It really it really was just I don't know if y'all think I'm making these songs. It just be five hours in the studio. It just be normal like I linked up with a You ever heard the radio right here? Yeah, that's my boy. That's right. That's my boy. I got to never satisfy That's why I record all my me and him been rocking out for a long time telling you many he gonna tell you man That's a good dude before all this. Yeah, no for sure. Just we just at the airport all the time We got stuff where we was at the airport. I'm like, I'm going over here. You remember right? Yeah, right? He's like I'm going over here. We always just see each other.   He's drunk. He's like man the performance off But I want to take you to the studio. He took me to the studio. It's like three o'clock in the morning I seen every this is my first time being in the real studio. This is my first time not being in somebody closet So I play some of my music we like we linked up. He was like man come back whenever I came back the next day I made strange fruits Made another song called cover 19 me and rough. Okay. We made them two came back like a week later. I made Just strange fruits went crazy. Yeah, so I had to go and get a like a service back for strange fruits when I went I got the service back It's paid $60 for our friend to give me the service back and our studio time and I made it feeling like Dennis So it is history. Yeah History, you know saying it's over man. Like I see you doing big things, bro like huge things like I'm surprised you know Rick Ross puff dad and them they see it man. Ain't no way they don't see it, bro I mean, it's a couple people on this one. It's why they've been reached out. Yeah Who's the biggest person that reached out that surprised you I mean take he freestyled hope Can we've heard so many stories though? People say that like this person called and they said their name and they hung up on them because it's like now They playing they playing that it ain't that person type of thing. Yeah, I got dm by Jay Prince, Jr. Oh, yeah When he got out, I was like welcome home. He was like preach. Hey Look what I gotta do be my He said just keep doing what you doing.  But just that that's that's that's motivation. Yeah, that's motivation. You're on the right track. That's right Big stepper. Yes, sir. What's up with that? and I'm just a Big dude, and if you mess with me, you step on I'm not no, you know, I'm not no you gotta think too much Yeah, I'm just thinking the song Self-explanatory. Yes Every song is either somebody is it's also easy just be easy to talk about big eggs big stuff And I'm big egg saying I don't step on numerous people. So let's make a song about it. So whenever you make a song Is it Something that you're going through at that moment in time because like somebody play a beat and because something you just have just happened You'd be like, okay, let me put it some paper or it is something old What's all right right now? I'm not doing that right now to get money. I ain't doing no dirt So it's already can't really talk about what I'm doing now. So I reach back in your bag I don't talk about what I did before I Miss my son birthday. Hey, that sounds good to everybody I know I know after a while. It's fun to get to the point where Cuz I'm tired of hearing it. I don't know how you're tired. I'm tired of hearing about big eggs shooting at people see, I know it's just about to ask that question because um Negativity sells in this world So, you know, and a lot of people, you know, they want to put some positive But when you put a positive is like you don't get as much ratings or as much streams or whatever So, how do you battle that and are you ever gonna do more positive stuff? I mean, I'm definitely transitioning right now to just talking about Just having a bit of life, you know, and you have you having more you tend to you can't I Her kick like say one time at an interview and never satisfied He was like, man, I got too much money now. I can't talk about what I used to do That's not me no more. Yeah, if y'all want to hear about somebody that's struggling that's still shooting and still arriving Then you go listen to this dude But if you want to hear about a nigga getting money, excuse me But if you want everybody that's getting money and that's really having it and that's talking about I Just went about this chain and this chain the same week and this show and you know, I'm saying That's what I'm ready to talk about. I'm ready to be talking about how I'm going up because that's when You find out, you know saying you find that that's when people gonna start hating I Think you just need to stick with what what what what you feel inside? Yeah, that's You know because I don't know it's just something about that connection with that that I think is gonna resonate with people Well, it's like after I don't know cuz I don't like I hate being repetitive And I feel like all these signs I just been repetitive. Yeah, but people look at numbers. Yeah, I'm just making this I'm I'm saying the same stuff that I'm pretty sure you have people come on your soul. You know I'm saying I'm saying the same stuff I'm just groove you with it. You know sound I mix more stuff with it. Yeah, that's that's really it in my voice deeper Go hard though Really doing too much different. I don't like that. I don't like cuz I feel like I can Separate myself so much more Yeah, I'm kind of closed into this box where I got to talk about but you have to gradually get into because first You have to get everybody's eyes on you and everybody fall in love with you And then you can't just turn around and just change all of a sudden you have to like that's what I was wondering I'm like, how can you put a little bit of it in your songs currently and mix it so you gradually, you know Well, I mean I like dropping January 21st I think we're gonna see a little bit of that in there cuz I see this mixture of pop hip-hop. I Ain't really talking about Lot of stuff I actually like the song. So is that your favorite song that you've ever done. What's your favorite song?

Oh my god, steaks. Like human steaks. You get it? Because literally all they keep making is bad jokes about eating humans. Hey guys, this is my review for episode 22 of Supernatural Season 7. They're actually really putting in the steaks of this. I was actually looking at my notes last night and I was just trying to remember which episodes I actually enjoyed and I could not list them. I couldn't list five without having to look back at some of my reviews. But at least to say this episode does set up the steaks that God forbid I wish could have happened a little while ago. But what the lefayethins are essentially doing is infecting the corn syrup with the turducken stuff as well as moving into agriculture.  Maybe like the sugar in the pesticide that you could put on it. Either way, it's pretty much a global control turning the entire world into a conveyor belt for the lefayethins. They are really trying to set up steaks. They're trying to create a world-ending event because that's what Supernatural did two years ago and this is basically the D plus version of it.  They talked to Crowley who is like, well I'll help you with my blood but not until you get the other ones first because I don't want you holding on to my blood. Crowley obviously doesn't know though that Castile is still alive and he was able to help them give his blood in the last episode. You go get the alpha vamp because the alpha vamp is still out there and now ladies and gentlemen we finally get an answer to something that I was kind of curious about for the longest time. If the alpha dies does that mean that the rest of the species dies? Apparently not. So what happened back in season six?  Now the one thing that I actually did like about this episode is that actually if I'm correct it was shot at Highcraft Manor. This is a really nice location for weddings and I actually get to shoot there next year and I'm very excited for that but that's completely off the point. It sets up like the mystery with Bobby and his falling into madness, ghost madness I guess you would call it. What he's going through he possesses a maid to get out of the room and he's going after Dick just by himself and then all the while the brothers just literally stab a guy to get the blood and I think the probably the funniest joke in this whole episode is the cop who is whoop whoop whoop to why can't we be friends so whoop whoop whoop. And then Edgar comes and he finds out about what's going on with the alpha vamps. He tries to get to the alpha vamp before the brothers do. There's a little bit of a fight the brothers are able to break out of the room and they're able to save alpha vamp take his blood and now they're like all we need is Crowley what's the worst that could happen and Dick is able to pull Crowley into a trap and that is where they hold off on the finale for the season. Let me just say I actually watched the road so far and I've got a few criticisms even about the recap for this season. Overall though this is a decent episode it's okay there's some jokes here and there there are some cool elements there's a lot of stuff that they just establish and then they just drop again so many bits in this season are very much akin to what Andrew dad would do in later seasons just like Angela brought up in the comments that Castile's wife is never going to come back she's gone and then there's the alpha vamp kids what's going to happen with them absolutely nothing as far as I know it was really strange to add in all these elements to add all these aspects and just I'm starting to do my season review here and I shouldn't do that I should actually just review the episode I like how they set up stakes even though they don't really matter that much I like how they further emphasized Dick's plan to take over the world and eat everyone and then also the drama with Bobby and his fall into ghost madness and there was a cool little one-off with the alpha vamp overall this episode hits the notes it's kind of checking off the boxes but it's again is doing it just a little bit above what it should now I thought about being a little bit gracious but I feel like I've done that a lot for this season and to be honest this didn't build me up like I know I said it did what it needed to do but it didn't do it with any emphasis it just did it because hey we've got the season finale next it really just hammers home why season seven is not as well like I honestly I can't understand how this is anyone's favorite season I apologize for those who I might offend with saying that but my god if I've been bored watching this season my final rating for this episode is a three out of seven I know that's maybe a little bit harsh but like I said I just did not care throughout this whole episode mind you that reference I made on the community post about Sam's long hair and holding all the the carrot someone not came up so I guess there's that anyways that was my thoughts about this episode let's see what you guys have to say so there wasn't many but I will actually point out one here from Rob Hannah did anyone notice the recasting of Kevin's mom she is played by Lauren Tom in season eight but played by totally different actors in this season I kind of wonder why that happened not that Lauren Tom was a bad replacement love this is trans but uh pretty darn noticeable um this was something that would happen quite often in other shows um but I actually I didn't even notice I'll be straight up honest I don't remember but it can happen with any kind of shows but uh uh what's it Joe doesn't point out it's definitely glaring with the show has been known to recast other examples are Amelia and Clara Novak and most notably young Sam and Dean well that one makes sense because well they got older right they couldn't play those characters anymore even though the original usage the original young kids were fantastic choices and then finally for Joe it's crazy to think there will be blood as a pen up a pen ultima episode of the season from season seven to 13 there are 23 episodes each and you can really feel the length in this of the season seven being all about dick I love this episode because it shows how the Leviathans are creating a formula that not only takes advantage of humanity but as a means to star route the other monsters sure they can eat other livestock but that means the Leviathans will be able to hunt them down easily by tracking them it's always good to see the alpha vampire and it's interesting how Eve and her offspring are barely related to the Leviathans one easily overlooked aspect in the season is how the Leviathans are about being family constantly trying to one up each other and the other monsters aren't family to them because they aren't the same species however when the Winchester's understand their family doesn't end with blood is essentially when their bond why their bond is and blood is stronger than the little Leviathans even though the season seven finale is my released favorite season finale in the entire show I'm excited to explain why I love it oh it's interesting because yeah I didn't I didn't think it was very good either all right guys that's it thank you for that final episode of season seven fank fuck we are going into episode 23 survival of the fittest so make sure to give me guys the thoughts about that episode in the comments below and I'll read those off in the season finale review we thank fuck this is almost over hope you guys are having a good day if you liked this video leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe until then I'll see you guys next time and I hope to be doing something a little bit different with the finale review you know we'll see anyways guys see you guys next time


This in vitro study assessed the color stability of an A2186 room temperature vulcanizing, RTD, silicone elastomer by incorporating silver nanoparticles during accelerated artificial aging. Using five intrinsic silicone pigment types, including no pigment, colorless, red, blue, mocha, and a combination of the three 160 disc shaped specimens were created and evenly distributed across 20 experimental groups. The specimens underwent aging for 250 and 500 H in an artificial aging chamber, and a colorimeter was used to measure the values of lab according to CIE standards. The study found that all specimens underwent color changes, increment E0, with red displaying a notably significant chromatic alteration. Additionally, AGNPs demonstrated substantial protection of the silicone and reduced the color change across all groups and colors, with enhanced efficacy corresponding to higher AGNP concentrations, 0.2% AGNPs greater than 0.15% AGNPs greater than 0.1% AGNPs.
