Top tech companies come together and plan to donate billions of dollars to cyber security What does that mean as an investor? Why should I care all those things we're going to discuss today? Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't know you're now tuned in to the Prince of Investment With your host Prince Dice coming all the way live from a beautiful state of Denver, Colorado via Halulu, Hawaii If you haven't done so already please go ahead and make sure you hit that like subscribe comment share button And as always I don't have a lot of time and I definitely you guys and girls don't have a lot of time So we're going to jump straight into it. So the first thing we want to discuss and talk about is What is cyber security? So let's get straight into it. So the first thing we're gonna discuss We're gonna discuss what this plan was about. Why is this meeting happening? Then we're gonna get into the industry of cyber security. We're gonna take a quick break and then after that break We're gonna get into exact companies that invest into Not invest into but companies that a potential investor could look into to benefit off of what the president and what big companies say they're gonna do But ladies and gentlemen, I want to first give the disclaimer This is not any financial advice or telling you what to buy or telling you what to do I'm simply reporting the news and giving you an opinion, right? So what you need to do is to do your own due diligence in your own research I'm just giving you a couple tools for your toolbox. All right without further do Let's get straight into it. So Google, Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, all these companies come together. They meet with the president. They have a meeting at the White House to say they're gonna Allocate billions of dollars into the cyber security space. Now, let's first talk about why is this meeting happening? Now the first reason why this meeting is happening The first reason why this meeting is happening is because we have been seeing cyber security tax on the whole on the rise Big time in the last few years cyber security is the number one way that companies are being attacked So you look at we are very vulnerable to cyber security now today with phones and via the internet We do everything remember when phones were just for a phone call now phones are doing what faxes used to do Remember fax machine? Hey fax mode that document now you can text that document or you can text your address Now people's social media is on there. They're banking and counselors on there We go to school on our phone. We our lives on the phone. We pay our bills. We pay our insurance everything There's an app for that. There's an app for everything. So as this continue to dominate the world Guess what it does with vulnerability doesn't awaken cyber security. Think about it when I go to make my Appointments with my doctor guess what I can just pull up the app see what my appointment is print out the appointment Email it to somebody all those good things, right? That's what we have to do. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, we have to think about Cyber not cyber security, but cyber in itself has taken on a whole new means It is not the future. It is here now and it's going to continue to grow into the future If you really tune into this show and things I say all the time I was talking about this for a while now. I May mention that this years ago Cyber security being on the rise cyber security being a big thing the more and more we do online It increases our vulnerability It has gotten to the point now to where you're looking at the way we drink our water is via cyber Not cyber security, but the internet internet has to do where we drink our water the way we The way planes fly the way we drive red lights green lights all those type of things all have something to do with cyber security Meaning that the vulnerability is continuing to grow. Can you imagine somebody that hacked the New York Stock Exchange? Can you imagine? Can you imagine someone hacked your? Your local city water Can you imagine someone hacked the red lights and green lights in your city? What would happen if you live in a nice urbanized area if you come from around from where you probably got like Four stoplights it probably won't do too much But if you come from a major city or near a major city or urban very urbanized area that could mean a lot So we haven't even gotten to the internet now today It is You have to have the internet cuz how you gonna plop for a job? How are you gonna get paid? Banking is done online applications are done online. Everything is done through The internet this is why we had the quote-unquote Obama phones remember the cell phones everybody got well fair recipients got but everybody was mad about it But why did we have that happen because of cyber security is just that important now? Let's get into it now these companies coming together now. We get the importance of cyber security Let's get to why these companies started to mention cyber security the reason why Google and Microsoft wants to spend billions of dollars into cyber because Cyber They are very vulnerable to cyber for prime example. You look at someone like Microsoft. They provide You know computers to the government a lot of government computers that we use a lot of schools Computers that we use a lot of top secret computers that we use are all made by Microsoft Can you imagine if someone was able to hack into our top secret network and get the information out into our enemy's hands? The second thing look at Google Google is the internet People say hey, you know people don't go you remember back in day We had to read in the psychopedia and know something how to get how to search around the web Now you just go to Google everybody goes to Google. There's you know, let's go to Google What is Google saying that is our new research tool? It's the number one most use research tool in the world I'm guilty of it too. So everybody uses Google Google is the internet Google owns YouTube Google owns a plethora of things so they're very vulnerable as cyber security as Cyber continues to grow. They're very vulnerable to the cyber security attacks. So now look at IBM IBM You know, they're the chip makers Can you imagine somebody who the chips that's going inside of our vehicles the chips is going inside of our computers? The chips is going inside of our watches everything we do in our lives our phones where they get hacked or compromised Can you imagine if Amazon look at Amazon who's pretty much the number one? Not pretty much, but is the number one retailer in the world. How much do they rely upon cyber security? Everybody all the way down to them small mom and pop Local bakery is utilizing cyber security because how does this fight? How do I go in and take my credit card? Not even I don't even put my credit card in machines I just tap it now I can tap my my credit card and boom It has made the charts a transaction to take the money out my account put the money in their account How does all these things happen which opens us up to the next field of finances and insurance Who goes in and pays their money not pays their money, but who pays their bill with cash? Nobody everybody gets online hops online and pay for can you imagine if that system wants to get hacked? So ladies and gentlemen, I say all that to say this we know the importance We know the companies that are kind of who has the vulnerabilities now. We're going to slide into The actual companies and how they perform. Let's take a look How has the cyber security industry ETF perform looking down at some of my notes here? 13% year to date 13% from January to now the hack ETF has gone up 13% Now the next thing you got to look at is this is a company. I talked about it was a sleeping giant I had it for a while and I sold it and I went into the other company, you know I give you guys a good reason why not to follow me on that is I had a company called Fort net You know Fort net not fortnight, but it was called Fort net. Hopefully I'm not butchering name But Fort net was a cyber security company had amazing finances Did that live here on the show went through their finances and they had amazing finances There was a top of the industry made tons of money. No debt. I mean Bulletproof financial statement, right? Then I looked at another company called crowd strike crowd strike had a bunch of momentum Finances wasn't as good, but it's momentum wasn't good now for it on the other hand for Fort net did have Great finances, but not so great Fundamentals so when I look back at it, I was kind of thinking of I was hold on a fort net I was like, oh, this is the brick solid company, but it just wasn't moving I mean crowd strike just came in and just took over a hundred dollars didn't went up to two hundred dollars Then what the two 30 something it was just trucking and trucking and trucking and there was Fort net just sitting there tiptoeing And tiptoeing and tiptoeing and tiptoeing and guess what happened You know coming into this year of crowd strike is up 39 percent year to date 39% not bad But Fort net is now up a hundred and thirteen percent year to date So crowd strike had an amazing year last year, but this year Fort net has taken over so the big reason why and you know, I would even take the ETF I take 13% heck I even take 39% all those are great, right? But the thing is when you look at this entire industry this entire industry is set to grow Why let's take a look at some of the statistics that companies said you had companies like Solar wind and all pipelines solar wind companies and all of oil pipelines were hacked As we move into this world moving away from gas and moving into electronic vehicles and clean energy You're having big companies becoming hacked Now you look at it the government has came out president Biden's came out and said we want to create 500,000 jobs You have President Biden almost also came out and said he wanted two person verification Authentication what does he mean by that? You remember back in the day when used to be a login to your E-Trade account just putting your username and password and boom You were in your account now you put your name username and password and account You get a they say hey we're gonna send a text message to your phone and then you got to get a text message to your phone And it takes a picture your face or whatever just to get into your account. That's the two Two-step or two-person verification authentication Meaning that they want to they're taking an extra step when you do this extra step This can slow down on cyber attacks cyber security Not slow down cyber cyber security, but up cyber security slows down on cyber attacks Why is that so important? This is so important because Now companies who didn't have this before let's say if you were a local bank And people can just download your app Put their phone number into you know put their username password into your app and be able to see their bank account Those things are now going away. I'm not going away. Those things are now turning into Companies and I have to go buy infrastructure to facilitate the new ruling So what that means is new regulations new regulations when you have Two-step verification not two-step here two-step Authentication we have to authorize yourself to go into the account companies are now going out to buy this So you're seeing companies like Amazon Facebook Google and practically every financial company is now requiring two-step verification Authentication and the reason why this is so important is this is very important because of Companies have to spend money into this world. So if a company out there Provides this service this put this put this puts them into a great position I don't know why I'm having a hard time speaking tonight, but we're going to get through it The other thing is take someone like me. Let's say if Let's say hey Prince Dyke's owner. He's a registered investment advisory out in Colorado We're hypothetically speaking and then all of a sudden the government comes out and says hey We're looking for registered investment advisories and we're going to donate a hundred five hundred five hundred billion dollars to these type of companies to Hold assets and do whatever right Now doesn't mean I'm going to get the money But it means that I'm in the position to capitalize off of making the money Now what does that mean as an investor? You can now see when the government starts to put out grants and they start to put out money and when big companies start to put Out money who are going to be the people that are going to benefit from it? Who are these cyber security companies? How can I invest into them? How can I make money from them? And this is how you do it by looking at companies that are in position that offer government contracts things like that How can you make money from those transactions? All right, so we're gonna do here. We're gonna take a quick break. I mean a very quick break We're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back more on companies that you can invest in Cyber security companies and seeing how this industry is taking over by using what President Biden said So we'll be right back stuff beyond the lines on think tech Hawaii I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years And we were fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships My show is based on my book also titled beyond the lines and it's about leadership creating a superior culture of excellence and Finding greatness. I feature a wide range of amazing guests who share valuable insights about how going beyond the lines Leads to success in everything you do in life. I'm looking forward to you joining me every Monday at 11 a.m. Aloha Google and Microsoft Putting billions of dollars into cyber now we're early in the episode We talked about the importance of cyber security and we've also talked about companies that were being hacked by cyber security and You know jobs being created all those are the good things now the thing I look about with the thing I look at with jobs. I always look at jobs because jobs are very important Why that is the number one way to tell if a company is growing and expanding is with human capital when a company starts to hire people They're hiring people because what they want to do they want to hire people in order to Expand their company. So when a company start to hire people or industry starts to hire people That's when a little bell goes off my head to say, hey, you know what what's going on in this particular industry Because the first way to expand not always but a lot of companies the first thing they do when they started to expand is hey They may get a new secretary whatever the case can be They may put some more money to research and development or whatever But so I like to look at what companies are doing when they're hiring so the reason why I brought this up Let's look up the Bureau of Labor Statistics data The Bureau of Labor Statistics the data is the Bureau that pretty much tracks labor statistics Which is kind of self-explanatory if you look at the name of it But what it does is if it makes projections on jobs in the next 10 years in the next decade What would be the next hottest industry? What would be the hottest industry, right? Cybersecurity is one of them. So when I see this industry Continuing to grow and by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, it makes me wonder, okay Well, this industry industry is continuing to grow. What else is it? What else? What else is there to do as an investor? So when a company starts to expand they start to hire people like crazy As they start to hire people if it's done properly the more people that they have Means the more profits that they're going to make and if done right if money's managed properly Y'all know it's not about the top line of what you're making It's all about that bottom line about what you're keeping which goes on until I retain earnings on our income statement, right? So now as I can see income statements net earnings starting to grow and swell When you see so much money starting to grow and swell and retain earnings. What's next the company is going to look to expand It may be research and development. Maybe open up a new store. Maybe buying out other companies maybe Buying out other companies doing all type of thing buying back their own stocks buying that, you know All type of things to add value to a company when a company is making crazy Retained earnings and the retained earnings are growing year-over-year very hard to do by the way But the companies that can do that are doing that now when you look at the the one thing I like about The cyber security industry is that there's not a lot of heavy weight when it comes down to finances Chris, what do you mean by heavy weight? So for primary example was something I read in the book. It was a Financial book about financial statements and they said hey for prime example, let's say Ford every time Ford wants to make a new car Ford has to remodel It's entire factory Meaning hey, you know, we decided that I'm doing that for the F-150 you want to do the Ford f 250 if they decided to do the f the Ford f 250 guess what they got to do The new 250 it has to have this type of chip in it has to have this all these type of inside the plant, right? Versus cyber security Cyber security doesn't require a lot of heavy weight Meaning certain industries they require you to have a building. Let's say if you were Sears, right? Sears to have these big Gigant, you know, let's go to the movie theaters. That's been a hot topic later with all the short squeezes So you take something like a movie theater. It has to have all these big cathedrals I'm calling them a cathedral hypothetical speaking But all these big theaters they got to have all these big rooms that require lights water gas You got to have employees. You need popcorn. You need soda juice machine janitors Somebody got to deliver the popcorn. Somebody got a show the movie the movie got old speakers. That's a heavy lifting Versus the cyber security. It's a group of guys in a room guys and girls in a room with some servers It was access to a computer and that's it They type of incident reports tell what happened tell what how many times you almost got intruded upon how many times Stopped something all those type of things because guess what ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad you know If you listen to this deep in the show Something I always tell people people always love to say Bitcoin has value because it's decentralized Sorry about that Big Bitcoin is decentralized and it's unhackable Ladies and gentlemen ladies and gentlemen boys and girls and children all ages y'all tune in and listen to me very closely Anything that a man creates another man can break Just because they can't break it today They might not be able to break it tomorrow doesn't mean they'll never be able to break it But eventually if the man tries hard enough he will eventually break it Alright, so what I mean by this is this code when people write codes And it's a code we never seen before and everybody's like oh my god We'll never break that code. It's an unbreakable code. It always get broken. Some of me take Two years five years 20 years even 30 years But if one man has code is something another man can break it. That's why you think we have so much cyber security So when you look at something like crypto currencies and Bitcoin people say oh that's unhackable because it's on the blockchain and the blockchain is on this chain and Nobody controls it is decentralized. I'm like what that sounds good But as blockchain technology and crypto currencies get older and become more valuable You're gonna see more people hacking to it. I bet your bottom dollar right now. There's someone right now somewhere Trying to hack Bitcoin Just like somebody right now is trying to hack the Federal Reserve and Eventually they will win see what the Federal Reserve? They probably already have a cyber security team that every day is going in getting you know getting people out of their system Seeing who's on the system coming up with incident reports. They're making new systems So one person learns how to intrude enough then they make a new system to stop that a person learns a new code They make a code to stop that so it's this cat and mouse game That's going on in the cyber world that you don't know about because guess what if Russia decided to hack our System, why would we go out and tell everybody? Right? We heard those stories. So now when you look into the world of Bitcoin you'll be crazy to believe that this that Bitcoin will be unhackable forever For perpetuity that that would be a man made it. Yes, probably was a good program But guess what the technology that we're going to see in 10 years is going to blow our socks off for prime example You're talking about 30 years ago. You're talking about You couldn't we had cores on our phones. We was walking around with cores on our phone. We had house phone now today That's laughable 20 30 years ago. We used to get in our car and drive to a place and rent movies That's laughable Heck 20 30 years ago. We used to drive and sit in a place and watch movies now today That's becoming more and more laughable. Why is that? Technology and we have evolved Remember your car some people probably still got in the car. You put your kid in a car and turn the key in your car and drive off Nowadays that's almost laughable. Those are going away. Everybody's pushing the button to start nowadays So just think about how we're evolving Something that we thought was so cool 20 years ago is not so cool today And somebody had given you a coupon that said one free movie running from blockbuster 30 years ago Man, that was an amazing deal Now in 2021 you will have to laugh at them. So a technology that we've seen a day in crypto currency in Bitcoin now I'm not a You know, I had claimed to be the best in the world and on all of the cyber stuff But I do know this anything that one man creates Another man can break if they try hard enough and depending on how bad they want to break it All right. Well, we're gonna do a quick recap before I get out of here. We talked about the first thing was All these major companies were getting hacked. We saw the solar wind companies and we saw the oil pipeline get hacked by hackers So guess what this prompted the president to throw in a big Throwing up a big meeting from everybody from tech to insurance and say hey guys, how are we gonna protect ourselves? We are here getting hacked We can't have the oil lines getting hacked and the water lines getting hacked because a lot of civilian and private companies run those So it came out it came out that they they're looking to create hundreds of thousands of jobs in cyber security They're looking president Biden signing the law the two-point verification Meaning you you log on to your 401k plan you get a verification that comes to your phone Google plans spent ten billion dollars over the next five years and trained a hundred thousand workers Microsoft IBM Amazon was all at this big meeting and cyber security is becoming more and more important You look at the ET of hack HACK It is up so far around about 13 percent this year with a crowd strike at 39 and Fortinet at 113 crowd strike is the one that has had the momentum last year strong momentum, but it didn't have the finances for Fortinet's finances is Astronomical right great amazing you know The amazing finances the only downside was They didn't they didn't have that momentum The stock wasn't moving crowd strike just came in and just shout up to the moon Right, but now Fortinet is taking his jets off and so far this year is double the money if you'd have had it in there I wish I'd have kept some of it in there, but I'm not a man I'm not a I'm not mad at it because I make money off of it and cyber security is still here to stay So everybody ladies and gentlemen, that's gonna conclude today's episode. My name is Prince Dykes This is the Prince of Investment Into the next video podcast book cartoon or whatever it's crazy. You see me do around the globe. Peace be safe I'm out and thank you


Come on, let's go. Let's go. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. As you can see, we got some cool plans today in the makings. Gonna go pick up Nathaniel Morgan and Kelly. Gonna go have some fun in the boat. Get some acclimation for Kelly in the boat and also do some new training. That's part of the process. Let's head over there and pick him up. Alright guys, we're here to pick up Nathaniel Morgan. This is gonna be a fun video because in this video we're gonna get boat acclimation, so the duck boat right here and then also Kelly and Rocky being around each other since they're probably gonna hunt together this upcoming season and that's his Rocky's daughter and then we're gonna be doing some other training out at a local lake. Just gonna be a fun video. I'm really excited for this one. Getting the boat out, getting the dogs out together, doing some work in the water and stuff like that. So I think we're gonna have a blast. What are you doing? He's not acting scared of him now. Well, maybe a little bit. Does that hurt? Well, no, no. As Rocky's learned, he's gotten some bad habits to get a break. But man, unfortunately the drought that we're in right now in California water's super low. All this stuff was gonna be kind of semi-underwater and we were gonna do some cover training. And we still can. Well, we'll make the best of it. All right, go on. We'll make the best of it. It's all right. What we're trying to do is have a little bit of cover for her to kind of block her from seeing the bumper that we throw or just getting used to stuff. But anyways, it's all right. We'll make it work. Let them bring some energy off before we start. Anyways, what we're gonna do, I thought it'd be kind of a good thing. It's nice having that other dog that knows what they're doing for the younger dog. It's kind of honestly almost like cheating. So I'm gonna have Rocky do a couple while she sits and watches. But what we're looking for in this one is her to go through the cover, through the decoys. It's just exposure, right? It's all about exposure. And then grab the bumper and come back. If she ends up picking up a decoy, it's not the end of the world or nothing. But it's just all part of exposure and learning, right? Where are those? Her hair's standing up. Can I stand right there and have her watch her? Can you look right there? Where she can kind of see that opening? And just try to get her to sit and be steady, you know? So I'm gonna throw him a retrieve. We've already thrown him a couple. Going through the decoys, she's watching. See what she does. Just keep her on her for a second. All right, sit. Sit. Good boy. Sit. How do they want it? Shake. All right, now we're gonna switch. She's kind of got to see what's going on. But he's not gonna steadier. Don't steadier. Meaning, don't just throw it and say, Kelly, like, you know, throw it. Just like you normally do. Because we're not trying to do steadiness yet. Let's go fix those decoys and get them tighter together where she kind of has to, like, weave through them. Sit right there. Yeah, go ahead. I'll make him sit while you go in there. Like, bring those two left ones. Sit, Rocky. Long.  Are you getting all this? I'm getting it. Rocky's gonna have to learn honor, which he don't have much experience in because he'll be fine though. Here, here, Rocky. Sit. Sit. Oh, see? That's her first time, right? Doing an actual dog stand. All right, that's her first time jumping on a dog stand. And what's Kindle mean? Kindle means onto or into. So, I know people, different people have different things, but that's what Chris teaches. And by the way, guys, here's the Chris Aiken DVDs. I'll pop it up on the screen. This is what I use and what Nathana was using. And that's the product of it, obviously. What I wanted to show you guys is she's gonna have to run through this, this tall grass once she jumps off that, which is good, kind of just a little distracting, right? And then she's got to go through the decoys to grab the bumper. This will be her first time trying this. So, as this kind of set up, I'm gonna get back behind him and work on Rocky's steadiness. So, we're getting a double whammy on this, but I'm trying to video which I should. Probably shouldn't be Rocky. You sit, Rocky. Okay, go ahead, dude. Mark, Kelly. Don't say nothing. She'll figure it out. Look at that. Good girl, Kelly. Good girl. Good girl, Kelly. Come on. Good girl. That's okay. No, that's okay. She'll get it. That's okay. No, Rocky, no. Here. Sit. Good girl. Good girl, Kennel. Kennel. Good girl, Kennel. Come on. Awesome. Awesome. That's really good. Okay. So, you noticed you weren't praising her. It was like she realized, he's not giving me praise because I didn't bring his bumper, so she goes and picks it back up, then you're praising her. Then she drops it. Then you stop praising her. That's awesome. That was her first time. And she did really, really good. On the last video when we did the gun interview, or whatever you call that, introduced her to gun fire. I praised her before, and then ever since then I haven't been. She's been doing a lot better. Really? Okay, good. So, this is all new for her. Now I'm curious to see what she does the second time now that she knows Rocky sit. You ready? Yeah. Kelly sit. Mark, she's going. Right after it. Little deep water. It's probably good to set up those decoys in front of her and her seeing what they were, huh? She's still looking at them. Good girl, Kelly. Good girl, Kendall. No, Rocky. Sit. Hey, Kelly. Rocky, sit. Good girl. Come on, Kelly. Kendall. Good girl, leave. And she is 20, little over 20 weeks today. So she's right on track doing good. And like I said, she's running right to the sit, Rocky. She's running right through all that cover, so let's do it one more time. Okay, I'll throw a little more to the left. Kelly. Mark. Kelly. No, Rocky. Sorry, guys. Come here, Rocky. Come here. Good girl, Kelly. Good girl. Sorry for screaming everybody's ears, but I've got to work it into you. Just do the awesome. Good girl, Kelly. Good girl. Kendall. No, Rocky. No. Hey, Kelly. Batch it up. Good girl. Mark, Kendall. Good girl. And just to reiterate, guys, it's okay to make her sit, but we're not trying to... I wouldn't call it breaking, but we're not steadying her, meaning she's got to stay there until we tell her to go. It's okay that as the stage that she goes right away, right when he says her name and throws it, it's totally fine right now. Mark. Kelly. Good girl, Kelly. She's got that decoy stuck on her. Good girl. This is such good exposure. Good girl, Kelly. Kendall up. Come on, Kelly. Good girl. Honestly, and to give her props to, Rocky is somewhat distracting too, right? Because I'm having to yell at him or he's standing here, but this is such good for her. Sit, Rocky. It's such a... It's good training for both of them, honestly, but for her, especially, this is not even phasing her. She's doing awesome. Like dogs? But you've been practicing on like other things though, right? Like couch, table, stuff like that. Chair, camp chair. Alright, now she's going to steady. While he does it, okay? Sit. Sit. Pete. Bob. Joe. Timmy. Cassandra. Rocky. What? Sit. Hold. Leave. Good boy. That's another thing that will build up drive. She's like, hey, that's not fair now. I want to go. That's okay. She's done though. Just give him one more for exercise purposes. Jimmy. Bob. Nope. Here. Kendall. That wasn't your name. Joey. Hank. Bob. Pete. He's a little rusty on that tactic. Good boy. Because he's going to start, you know what I need to do. Kendall. Kendall. Good dog. Sit. Dog. This has been a good little training session. Honestly, a lot of fun. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. Stay tuned. If you haven't seen the series before, go back to part one. This is part five. The one before this was entry to gunfire. Obviously we're doing the decoys and exposure to the boat and all that kind of stuff.  It's been a blast. Hope you guys are enjoying the series. If you have, give it a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel. Yeah, don't let her... Dude, she kind of did it easy. Almost. Try it again. Now she might not want to try it anymore. Almost. Almost. Take a nap. Now for the treat. Ice cold. See what I'm doing. I'm getting it all over my chin. No. Gotta commit.


This is the Grand Incense Eco Community. We're a collective of 11 adults and four kids that came together with a common goal. We bought a property together at Lavineau. It's 20 hectares, 15 of forest and five of prairie. What we're trying to do here is to live more connected with ourselves, with others and with the environment and doing all of that with big open doors for whoever wants to come in and share that experience with us. In the shared house, a community kitchen where we have all of the food that we buy together. There's the dining room and the living room and then the other shared spaces include a library where we've put all of our books together, a wood workshop where we've put all of our tools together and an office where we've put all of our office junk together. Here in our community, each family has a small private space. So Romain, Seva and I, we live in a year.  Astrid, Ed, Will and Elio are living in a small house that was on the property. Because we have so many shared spaces, we're very comfortable living in our small spaces and they actually become like small cocoons and family units. So already we're able to put four families onto a property where there was just one family living. So instead of two people, now you have 14 people living on the same land. When there's something to get done, you can call the community to come and help you and you're gonna make a garden bed in an hour with something that would have taken you three or four hours just because you have many hands and people can come and help. The shared responsibility, I think, is really liberating. We work so well together and it's so complementary that somebody is going to do the thing that you don't really want to do because chances are like they do want to do it. So each person is doing their part, which makes it work. Each role is really, really important. I think we have a lot of trust that, you know, when it's somebody's turn to do the finances part, that they're going to stay on it and then they're gonna keep us informed and we're gonna have meetings to know like where we're at to try and make everybody feel at peace. Living in community is having a huge support network. I know that I have people around me that I can go to and ask for help. A lot of support for the kids here because there's so many adults and luckily also adults that don't have kids yet. So they also take the pleasure to spend time with the kids that live in the community and as a parent, it's really appreciated and it's really a rich experience, I think, for the kids. They have so many adults around them to learn all the time. My daughter, she appreciates that and she'll come back and tell me about what she's done or what she's learned with somebody else. It feels nice. There's a lot of things that we see ourselves learning now living in community that our kids are learning at the same time. So it's reassuring to think that they might grow up with a better concept of how to communicate than we started off with. Big advantage in our community is the way that we organize cooking. Pretty much you sign up to cook once a week. You have to cook for anywhere between 15 and 20 people because we have a lot of visitors here also. But then that's it for the week and what's really good about that is everybody gives it their all when they cook once a week so we eat really good all the time. When we created this project, we defined in the beginning that it wasn't just going to be a place for us to live. It was really important for us to be able to host people and to share this experience with other people which is why our reason of being is un lieu de vie et de partage. That means a place of living and sharing. The reason that it's important to us to share the project is just to give the idea to say like, oh it is possible, that's another way of living and if people can come here and see that we can do it then maybe they can heal themselves too. When we started the project, we started with visiting other communities. We needed to see what they were doing, how did they get there. We realized there's actually quite a lot and no two communities are the same and that's what's really beautiful about it. I think there's a lot of beautiful projects based on sharing all around the world and taking it to the level of living together is just the next step.


There's some strange messages coming out of the Bitcoin conference in Miami that's going on right now. And one of the strangest thing that's coming out of it is all about self-custody. And why self-custody is something that maybe we should be looking over. And before we get started, you may notice that my voice a little bit off. I am still sick, a little strep throat, but I have options. And the options are I could just lay around in bed and get nothing done or inform everybody what's going on the crypto world. So let's go for the lab. So what I'm talking about today, there was this video. And this is Josep Jesus. And he is a proponent of crypto and digital assets, Bitcoin. And he is there at Bitcoin Miami Conference right now. And there's a little clip that was being sent around. I want you to listen to this clip. And we're going to get into the things that I think about it, how things can be misconstrued. And really it opens up a bigger can of worms. We'll get to all that in a second. So just take a listen. Some companies going to come along and they're going to offer some sort of insurance package. That's what I want. I don't want to be responsible for my keys. I wanted to say, here's my keys. You're responsible. And if something happens, then guess what? I'm coming after you, baby. You're going to be responsible for my wealth. That's going to be a key. And I'll pay 5% for that. I don't mind paying 5%. So interesting, right? And I will just preface it by saying this. I don't know what was being said before. He made that comment. I don't know what he said after it. The next comment could have been, hey, I'm just kidding. That's what people are talking about. And this is the reason why it's really important to self-cussy because of A, B, C, and D. But regardless, even if we don't know those things, there's a bigger question that comes up. And it's going to make a lot of sense because what he just said is what a lot of people are going to be asking for. Because if you're here right now, you've gone through the Celsius, the Voyager, and the FTX, and all the BlockFi, and all the issues that came along with that. So you understand the importance of self-custody. But the next group of people, the next ones that come along, they're not going to know those things. And we're going to talk about it. And we're going to tell them all about those things. And everything goes in cycles, right? So, you know, Bitcoin having 2012, all-time high dip reset. Same thing happened in 2016, having all-time high dip reset. We just had another one, right? 2020, 2021, and ice all-time high. Double tops and a dip. Going through a reset right now. But right here in 2024 and 2025, the people that are watching these videos, the people that you're going to interact with, they're not going to know the stuff about over here. And they're not, they're going to hear stories about it, but it's not going to hit home like it did before. How do I know this? It's a video that we did a couple of days ago. Crypto lessons from the past, 2014 and 2023. And what I talked about in there was Mt. Gox. When I got in 2017, everybody heard about Mt. Gox. Nobody really cared. And I go over all those things. As a matter of fact, these types of videos, I'm trying to preserve them. So, I put them over on Dante to Crypto. And this video will also go in there as well. And this will be a Module 3 investing. This one was right here. You can also find it on YouTube and make it very simple. My website again, 100% free. So, the question you have is, well, is this accurate? Is this true? And a lot of us right here are like, that's ridiculous. Why would he say that? Well, first of all, maybe it was a joke. Maybe there was something else going on. Maybe again, maybe I didn't hear him right. Or maybe later on he says, I'm just kidding. It was this, this, and this. It was an example. But the thing that scares me is that the next group is not going to be aware of what's happening. And of course, when this happened, I need you guys to remember something. I need you guys to help me out. Because I can't be around forever. So, when this happens, and people say, why do I have a self-custody?  Just remind me of this. I'll give you three reasons. Celcius, Voyager, and FTX. So, if you don't want a self-custody, that's fine. And maybe you can lock it away. And maybe this new organization that is only doing self-custody will be fantastic for you.  But just like how Celcius and Voyager FTX, they started out pretty good. But then they just became that industry or that company that needs a new revenue stream. They try to branch off and other things. And they try to do loans. And they try to do yield. And they try to do all the things that brought them down. And I think the same thing goes moving forward with people who are going to custody. Now, I think what will happen is you're going to have people who will say, I'll self-custody. Me and you are going to do that. But the next group of people that come in, they're not going to want to do that. And they're going to pay for somebody else to do it. It's going to be a mistake. And just like the people that came before me in 2014 or 2015, they said, not your keys, not your crypto. I learned the hard way. And I think sometimes that's the only way that you're able to learn. However, there is a couple of things that I will make mention of. And that is that, just as a reminder, I mean, Sam Bankman, he said, hey, nothing's, there's no problems with FTX. It's fine. And this was on November 7th. And guess when they pause with trolls? November 8th. And then, of course, we've got this little gem here. Shout out to Crypto Hunter. This is about 40 seconds or so. This is Alex Machinsky lying through his teeth as he was talking about how great the platform is. Just take a listen to this. The number one question from people is, are our funds safe at Celsius? Can you address that for the audience? Yes. So not just that they're safe. Again, we provided anyone who wanted to withdraw partially or fully. There were no problems. I want any one of you, anyone who got wrecked on Celsius to say, sorry, I got wrecked on Celsius. Let's see if you have one guy, one person, right? Why? Because you can't take leverage. You cannot lose money. I mean, that's the whole point. So, sorry, and Celsius takes full responsibility. So yeah, as hard as those are to look at and remember what happened, I think we all have to remember what happened so we can move forward. And then also before we go on, I will say, don't jump on James too much over Invest Answers. Alex Machinsky also came on my program and lied right to my face too. So when we take a look at these things, just remember, it's not the people he's telling the lies to. It is the person that is actually lying. And then the next thing would be like we would talk about is, well, but this is a different case. This isn't an actual exchange. What they're talking about is just custody. And if that's all they're going to do, then it's going to be fine. Well, remember, if you're going to do custody, it's going to be kind of like being a bank, essentially like that. And can we trust everybody? Well, no, because this is an example that just broke today. Australia's oldest bank bans payments to Binance and other crypto exchanges. And I find this hard to believe, but it's true. They said this is why they're doing it. Westpac, Australia's oldest bank, bans all payments to Binance and several other crypto exchanges. The bank said it's blocking a number of crypto exchanges as part of a trial to reduce scam losses. In justifying its position, the bank considered to be crypto friendly said, it discovered that accounts, time due investments are predisposed to scams and that one third of all payment transactions made are sent directly to crypto exchanges. Digital exchanges have a legitimate role to play in the financial ecosystem. But since the rise of digital currency, we've noticed that scammers are increasingly using overseas exchanges. This is Westpac Group Executive Customer Services, Scott Colary. He says often our customers only discover they've been scammed after the money has left the country making recovery extremely difficult. And that's really what it comes down to. We're here to protect you. We're here to put your well-being first. How many times has an agency or an organization in power said that to us or two groups of people when in reality it was all just to serve their own purposes? I'm not going to go into certain examples. I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. But again, when you have something who is custing your own assets, you're giving up power to somebody else. And that's the problem. I talked to this yesterday and we talked about ledger. I feel like people are getting weaker and weaker because in all honesty, everything that we have to do, we can do. We are not that weak and we are quite strong to be able to do this to self-custody for Pete's sakes. It's not like we're going out and fighting wars on a daily basis. You're writing down a 24-word mnemonic phrase and try not to lose it. You can put it anywhere you want to. It's pretty, it could be easy to lose if you don't take the right steps but it's also a lot easier to do different other things to slip up. So we all have the ability to do this but for some reason a lot of people think that they can't because these organizations have been put in power for so long and we get dependent on them when there's actually no reason to be dependent on them. So that's the one side of that. The flip side, I thought it was quite interesting was this. This was a little bit unnerving but I understand where she's coming from. Bitcoin custody services are coming to Custodia Bank. It says CEO Caitlyn Long. Caitlyn Long is a huge Bitcoiner and she has been really adamant about self-custody. So when I sell this I'm like what the heck is going on with the world and crypto but this actually doesn't make sense. She states, there are certain types of businesses like investment companies, registered investment advisors, corporate treasurers and other types of fiduciary that have to by law segregate the custody of the assets from the management of the assets. She goes on to state, she explained why a hardcore Bitcoiner won a bank. She claims she doesn't think the world is ready for hyper-Bitcoinization yet. I don't want the traditional financial system to melt down. I would live in a world where the two financial systems are developing and have connectivity but each one doesn't blow up the other. So this one's a little bit different. She's talking about essentially organizations that by law cannot self-custody but she doesn't really say too much about individuals. However, I think when pushed she might say that that could potentially be a viable option. And this just brought me to the point because when we hear these things sometimes we get triggered and we're like no it should be this way, it should be this way, this way, we have to do it this way but then you gotta kind of think in like a little open mind and there was this great podcast it was what Bitcoin did Peter McCormick and he had Michael Sailor on it was really good. It's two hours if you got nothing to do I recommend you listen to it. Michael Sailor was a huge Bitcoin bull and he says look he goes there's these things called ordinals and a lot of the Bitcoin maxes don't believe in that. He goes I think it's not a bad idea. He goes but there's gonna be things that are gonna happen with Bitcoin that you're not gonna agree with. Everything's gonna be built on top of Bitcoin and you're gonna think that that's the worst idea ever but in reality it actually could work out pretty well and nothing is going to be perfect but to me personally this is just what I will do. I will continue to self-custody but the people that don't want to self-custody and they want to pay something else let them do it and they can learn that way and lastly I will just say this on this channel you know I've talked a lot about regulation and now I believe that we should have regulation and it's not a very popular opinion in the crypto community but I personally believe that we should have some kind of clarity and a lot of people do not like that but I will have to give a shout out to Representative Tom Emmer he came out and said I introduced the Securities Clarity Act with Rep. Darren Sato this bill clarifies the regulatory classification digital assets and provides market certainty for innovators and clears jurisdictional boundaries for regulators and I got to say to him bravo because that is something we definitely need in this space and maybe Gary Gensler can get the point and actually give us clarity to where we want to be maybe just with crypto exchanges but that's it for today so look like today's video do me a favor, give me a thumbs up consider subscribing all that good stuff this is not a set and forget a type of space it moves very rapidly if you're not going to subscribe to me subscribe to somebody that's it for today thanks so much I do appreciate it I'll see you on the next one

Let's just talk about that free training for artists. The six-step path to successfully sell your art, learn how to go from waiting for a sale to happen, not to using my simple success path to build a profitable business and make those sales.  So here's just some of what you're going to discover by having a truly compelling vision for your future is so vital and how that will keep you motivated every single day. While getting 100% clear on what you want to make o'r llwyddon o gyda, o'r ffocus o'r gwahb.

Felly, rydyn ni'n gwybod ei ffordd eich cyfnod o'r llwyddon o fydda ni'n gallu gweld yr ysgol. Rydyn ni'n gwybod eich gweithio'r fflwr, imagine how life could be now you followed the artbus success path to your creative freedom?  Ychydig. Let's get some sales in. Let's get some people on to my workshop. Now don't get me wrong. Occasionally success can happen right? You can have those surprise start-ups where you sell something unexpectedly you fill a workshop that I promise you the next time you do it the result is going to be different because you haven't put in place the foundations. You haven't made your art business safe. It's like anything really. Let's take cake making. You're desperate to make a beautiful three-tiered cake for a friend or relative's wedding or birthday celebration and the bit that really excites you, of course, of being an artist, are all the decorations.  So you bypass that cake making bit, you grab some ingredients, you kind of mix it up in the bowl, you put it in a tin, you put it in the oven, you're not really sure how long it cooks for, you pull it out, you're like, I just want to get to the exciting bit, I'm sure it's cool enough, I'll just keep going and then you put all the icing on, you make it look amazing but when it comes to it, is it even cooked properly? What does it taste like? Again, occasionally you could get lucky right and the cake's edible but mostly it's going to taste horrible, it's going to fall apart, it's probably going to cave in because you didn't cook it properly and when it cools it's all going to go like that. So what do you need to do? You need to source the right ingredients, you need to measure it out, you need to cook it properly, when it's cool, when it's ready, then you put the ingredients on. It's exactly the same with building an art business, you can't expect to get to the prettiest bit with all the fancy bit without doing all the foundations first. The second reason you're likely not making the sales that you want is you're doing too many things at once. Let me tell you a little story about some rowing boats and a couple of islands. Now the people that are in my membership and I want to one clients with me, they know this story inside out and I've only got to say the two island story and they all go oh yeah, oops forgot about that or oh yes absolutely, this is how it goes, all right there are two islands, you have reality island, this is the island that you're sitting on at the moment and you have dream island over there and on dream island are all the things that you want. So for example palm trees, sandy beach, nice loungers, wading by the water, nice book to read, nice green juice to drink, whatever it is that's on your dream island right and so we've got to get over to the island. How are we going to do that? Well we're likely going to get in a boat, so this is what happens is we get in one boat and one boat for example could be original art so you're going to sell original art to get over from where you are now to where you want to be. So you've got your original paintings, you start rowing the boat, rowing the boat which means that you have an exhibition, you maybe have a second exhibition and you start making a little bit of progress but guess what, it's not going as well as you wanted it to go, you are not making those sales so you say oh that's okay, I don't need to sell original art, I could maybe make some prints because I have the paintings right, I could make prints. So you used to go ahead and you get a second boat right and the second boat is all about print making. So now you set up with print making, probably some financial outlay there, probably not great at the beginning of the business and you start rowing this boat over to the dream island as well right because you're desperate to get over where you want to be. So you're rowing the original art boat and you're rowing the print boat. Now you started the prints but your time is a little bit split and so you haven't really got time to do either one of them very well so the prints are not really going very well, the originals are not going very well, if you say that's okay somebody once said the easiest way to make money is to run a workshop, I'm good at what I'm doing, I'll just set up a workshop. This is boat number three, so now we're going to rent a space and we're going to put a workshop together. So now suddenly we're rowing the boat with the prints in, we're trying to make print sales, we're also trying to sell originals and now we're trying to mark it and sell places onto a workshop and you sell the odd workshop place but really it's not happening as much as you like to but that's okay because somebody said you can do something else alongside, you get the idea and suddenly you're splitting yourself between multiple boats and you're trying to row them all over to dream island where you want to get to. How far are you going to get right? What's going to happen is you're going to jump from one boat to another to another, you row that one a little bit over here but oh now suddenly this one looks like it's not going anywhere so now I'm going to put some attention here then I'm going to go back over there and instead actually if you just picked one boat and you put all your time energy and resources into that one boat, that one thing and you really focused and you continued to row it until you got to dream island and you got a system and you got a process then you know what you've got that first lounger and green juice and afternoon under the palm trees all right. So this is a story that I like to tell again and again and again because it's so true and as creatives what do we love to do? We love to create a new idea or a new product, a new service that the fact is you don't have time to market all of those things all right and probably don't have the skills either but particularly you don't have the time or the funds so you need to focus on one thing and be doing that really well until you get where you want to go then you can come back and start something else you can focus on the second boat. Now I hope that's making sense I'd love to hear from you let me know in the comments below how many boats you're trying to row over to your dream islands at the moment how many different things have you got going on let me know in the comments and number three reason why you're not making sales that you want to be making hmm you haven't identified your ideal audience and you haven't worked out how to reach them. Now this is one of the biggest mistakes I see artists and creatives make unfortunately it's again a little bit similar to the first one you want to rush and get out there so you're bypassing all of these things you haven't taken the time to work out well who am I going to actually sell to who are the people that I want to buy my work all my art services if you don't know who the audience are then it's a bit like throwing darts in the dark right you're closing your eyes you're throwing a few darts some over here some over here hoping that one of them is going to stick the problem here is that you likely haven't got all the time in the world to be doing that you haven't got endless budget to be throwing money at marketing hoping that eventually you make an art sale well if I put enough ads out there if I put enough of this if I put enough of that then eventually surely I'll make an art sale well you likely will but how much money will you have spent getting there when you've probably spent more money getting there than actually the sale you're going to make right it's not working for you at all you'll be wasting hours of your time wondering where your audience are and just making a guess and hoping they're going to show up where you are right let's look at social media you choose a social media platform that you like to be on that if you haven't worked out who your audience are maybe they're not even on social media at all let alone on that platform so there you are investing time energy and effort posting content out I'm wondering why you're not making any sales and your audience is over here looking shopping spending money with somebody else because you didn't take the time energy and effort to find out who that audience are and where they're hanging out I'm hoping this is all making some sort of sense and at this point you're thinking mm okay now really one or two things could be happening at this point one is a massive ahar and you go this is really exciting Sophie I'm super excited because is this all fixable yes it absolutely is what do you need to do to fix it well I'm going to suggest your next step is to watch my free training for artists that is the six step path to successfully sell your art because in there you have all the answers that you're looking for and a step by step clear plan to enable you to do everything I've spoken about today so grab the link below this video and thank you so much for watching today and I'll see you on another one


Hello and welcome to Little Garden on the Prairies. Today we are having a sneak peek here at my grow tent that I have got a whole bunch of plants started indoors using the Kratki hydroponic method. And today we're going to specifically look at this indeterminate sun gold cherry tomato. As you can see it is getting huge and it's starting to get a little bit close to the light so I'm going to show you how I am going to try and just prune it down a bit get it staked so it's more secure. I also need to check the nutrients in this tomato.  So before we get going on the tomato pruning I just wanted to show you a couple other things that are growing down here in my indoor garden. These are the two strawberries that I also took from the garden. I pulled them out of some pots washed off the roots and then set them up in the Kratki method here. And if you have a look here at what they look like when I brought them in you can see that they have really grown. They have lots of blooms on them now and they are drinking up the water not too fast. So my plan is to mix up some new nutrients and refresh these two containers with a blend that is at the blooming stage or the fruiting stage. So that will be a different blend than what I originally put them into and we will see if that will help with the fruit production here. And here is my lettuce which is looking amazing. Just look at those leaves of lettuce. I should be able to get a salad out of this for myself tomorrow so I may be coming down and picking a little variety I got the leafy greens and the arugula coming here really good. These tubs work really well for keeping the LJ out. As you can see these roots on my lettuces are really nice and white and looking super healthy. So with it was only about 30 days ago that I planted up these cuttings they were taken from my tomatoes out in my outside garden and I just rooted them up in water and then set them up in the crack key hydroponic method. So here's what they look like after they were planted up and put into the grow tent and as you can see the sun gold cherry is really taken off now. So as I said I'm going to try and keep it at about this height so any more growth that happens here at the top I probably will start cutting it back. I'm just checking my plant to see all the areas where I do have some fruit coming.  So I want to try to figure out how to get this kind of standing nice and tall and then I'm going to trim off some of these branches that maybe aren't really needed. They're just taking up extra energy. I'm going to start off at the bottom by just cutting these guys back. So I've cut off three there. So what I'm working with here is just some clips that I ordered online for plants. I got these little plastic things that you can wrap around the stems and then these little clips work well. I've just connected some jute rope to it so it's got something to work from and have it tied to the to the bar at the top of my grow tent here. So I'm just trying to find a good spot on the plant to attach this. So I'm going to put it under here where there's a bit of a branch that kind of keeps it from sliding up and then I need to just adjust my rope. I haven't quite figured out a really effective way to do this other than to just wrap some of this excess rope in my clip here until I get it to a good length and just grab the kind of holds that's secure. It's a little bit loose so usually then I just take my rope here. Take my rope and just wrap it around the tomato a little bit. That gives it a little more stability. I'm just going to cut away some more of these branches that aren't really needed. They don't have any blooms on them. They're just adding a little weight and taking energy from the rest of the plant. I don't know, I could be a little bit scissor happy here but I think it'd be okay. We've got lots of blooms coming here. So this is how it looks after a good trimming. I can see now that I do have a little sucker here coming and I'm going to take that out. Sometimes you just miss them and all of a sudden they're huge and I see another one coming down here so I'm just going to pinch that off. Like I say, we still have some blooms coming there. I'm kind of contemplating whether I should hack this piece off here or not. It probably was a sucker that got away on me. I'm going to leave it for now. It's hard to chop them off once they get this big because it's got some nice blooms coming but it does make it a little more challenging to stake this up properly. I think we'll leave it like that and now it's time to mix up some nutrients and give this tomato a drink. Okay so the nutrients are mixed up and I'm going to now just do the pH and the EC test on them to see if we're on par with where we want to be. So again I'm using the three-part Holland secret. So when I first set up my tomatoes and the strawberries I use the early vegetative blend here which usually has a higher amount of the of the grow and a lower amount of the bloom. So now I am mixing it up at the early flower stage which has more bloom to it, a little bit less grow. So basically it's your NPK levels that change. So I've got it mixed up and I have my little chart here so we're doing tomatoes trying to get a range of two to four for the EC pH somewhere just 6.5. So I'm just going to pour some into this jar so we can measure it easily. So usually with the pH meter it's about a 30 second hold in the water to get a accurate reading. So it looks like it's going to sit at about 6.25 which is good. Now we will try the EC. I usually use EC reading over PPM just because that's just the one I choose to use and this is pretty much an instant reading. Sitting at 1614 which is like a 1.6 so it's a little bit low compared to my EC suggestion here on this card.  If your EC level is too high then you would just add some just water to your nutrients to kind of bring that EC level down. So as I said mine is a little bit low. I would like to have my tomatoes in the two to four range of the EC so it's a little bit low. So I'm just going to add a little bit more of each of these nutrients and we'll mix it up and see if that helps. Okay so I added a little bit more nutrients to my four liter jug here and I'm like I don't want to get too technical or make people think that this is something that you really have to get all technical about because then it just kind of scares people from trying this but basically the ratios of this measurement that I was using today was like a one to one to two. So just to top up these nutrients a little bit more I added just one mil, one mil, two mils of this and we're going to see how it tests now. I said it's just kind of trial and error. Okay so we'll check the pH again just to see if there's any change there. So the pH is just below six at 5.96 so not too bad. It did go down a little bit. Let's see what the EC did. I'm hoping that it went up. Yes and so it did go up to 2100 which is 2.1 so that's kind of at the low low end of my EC scale that I wanted at. So I'm just going to leave it at that for now. Pretty sure this tomato is going to drink up this water in a week and I'll be mixing up another batch so I'll maybe put it at the full flower bloom stage and my EC level might be a little bit higher. But I think we're good to go. I'm also trying to keep records of what I'm doing. Again something that I'm not very good at but I like to just make sure I record the day that I'm adjusting what the pH and the EC levels that I am using and it's good just for future reference to see how things are doing and kind of see what's working what's not working. I did crack key hydroponics for two years without doing any pH or EC testing or keeping track and I had a lot of luck with things growing just fine. So it's just something that I kind of got more interested in and thought maybe I should you know try it and see if it makes a difference to kind of monitor these things a little closer. So my roadster determinate tomato here still got quite a bit of nutrients left it hasn't drank it too fast I'm just going to leave it for now being as it's not really at a flowering stage yet and we're just going to top this up. You always want to make sure with crack key that you leave room for air for the roots they need the air to breathe so you don't want to overfill your container so I usually fill it about halfway to three quarters and make sure there's an inch or two of space in the roots so that they can keep breathing because you're not using an air stone or a pump of any kind it needs that air to stay alive and thrive. So maybe that I need to work on my stability method here the string seems to be working but once you get the fan blowing it does move it around quite a bit so I will keep you updated on the progress of my indeterminate tomato.

This is JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Dean Perine and welcome to JSA TV. We are coming to you live from the show floor in the big apple at the telecom exchange event. And I am here with Mr. Patrick Coughlin. Now Patrick is the SVP of sales and marketing for First Light Fiber. Patrick, thanks for joining us on JSA TV. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. The theme of this of our discussion is going to be growth expansion. Earlier this year, you were acquired by Oak Hill Capital Partners. Why don't you talk to us a little bit about that acquisition and how it's going to help you grow? Sure. Well, we're obviously we're very excited about the acquisition with Oak Hill. We expect it will close sometime in late July, but in the meantime, they've been very supportive with us and our team with expansion, not only organically, but more importantly inorganically about opportunities across our footprint that would add capillarity to the existing fiber plant. Fantastic. Okay. So again, the theme is growth. So I understand that you guys have announced service expansion to New York's Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties in 2016. Is there any further development in that area? So the plan was always when we designed and built the network, it was really designed for some large wireless carriers and now the plan is leverage that fiber network to go after some of the existing enterprise and large, we'll call it verticals within that region. So the game plan is we've secured some of the wireless contracts that we needed, but now it's really going after and leveraging for enterprise customers in and around that region. We think there's a great opportunity. Outstanding. And so no sales team as you're at the SVP of one of those at a big company is complete without a good channel program. Can you talk to us a little bit about your channel program? Sure. Well, we're very excited about the channel program. It was one we kicked off at the start of the year. We have added approximately 10 new partners on the agent side. And again, we see that as just another tool in our quiver to be able to expand our footprint and grab a lot of the opportunities that our direct sales force just doesn't have because again in the agent community, a lot of them have relationships long-standing that we don't have. Outstanding. Yes. So let's talk about the future a little bit. We're literally only halfway through 2016 and lots of things happening there at First Light Fiber. Well, look at the crystal ball. What does it look like say a year from now? The one thing I can predict with certainty is our map is going to change. We are going to expand our footprint, whether it's an expansion program like we did in Westchester Rockland County or in another state. But also I could see acquisitions being announced over the next 12 months that would certainly add additional fiber footprint and opportunities for our sales teams across the board. Very cool. Thank you very much, Patrick. You heard it here first, folks. Patrick, thank you very much for joining us on JSA TV. Thank you and thank JSA for putting on this event in New York. It's a great event. Very good. So you're enjoying the show so far? I am. Absolutely. This is one of the better networking shows that's put on in our industry. We've done it over the course of the last couple of years. So again, ICS going forward is using this again as a tool to get the word out about First Light. So thank you. Outstanding. Thank you, Patrick. You're hired. Thank you very much. Thank you. And thank you viewers for watching JSA TV. We'll see you soon.


This is going to be demonstration of the deep compartment of the posterior compartment of the leg. So, in order to demonstrate the deep compartment, we have lifted up the gastrocnemius here, and we have lifted up the sodium here, and we have got it at the attachment of the tendocalcaneus. This is the deep part of the posterior compartment. The deep part of the posterior compartment is separated from the superficial part by a septum, a fascia which we have removed, and that is known as the transverse intramuscular septum, which extends from the posterior intramuscular septum, which is attached to the posterior margin of the fibula, and then it goes medially and gets attached to the fascia, deep fascia, and we can see that here. So, this is the deep aspect of the posterior compartment. So, let us take a look at the muscles here. Most medially, we have this muscle here. This is the flexor digitorum longus. Just after that, we have the next muscle, this one. This is the tibialis posterior, and further laterally, we have the third muscle here. This is the flexor halosus longus. So, in the back of the leg, the relationship is DTH. Let us trace them further down. As we trace them further down, we notice that the tibialis posterior, the big tendon, it goes under the flexor digitorum longus, and therefore, in the posterior aspect of the ankle, the relationship becomes TDH. T stands for tibialis posterior, this big strong tendon that we see, which is a very powerful plantar flexor. Then we have the flexor digitorum longus, and then finally, we have the third tendon, which I have lifted up here. This is the flexor halosus longus. So, this is what you see in the tarsal tunnel. The next thing which I wanted to point out to you was the neurovascular structure. I have picked up this structure here. This is the tibial nerve. The tibial nerve emerges from the pubrical fossa where my finger is going in under the tendons arch of the soleus, and it continues down, and it supplies all the muscles in the posterior compartment. The next structure that we see here is this. This is the posterior tibial vein. The posterior tibial vein is also a division from the pubrical vein, and the pubrical vein is seen in the pubrical fossa here, which passes under the tendons arch of the soleus. And the next structure that we can see here is this. This is the posterior tibial artery. The posterior tibial artery also is a larger terminal division of the pubrical artery, which we can see here in the pubrical fossa. As it passes under the tendons arch of the soleus, it divides into a posterior tibial artery and an anterior tibial artery. The posterior tibial artery is accompanied by numerous small veins, and we have removed them here, and these are known as the vene comitantes. The posterior tibial artery gives off a branch which we can see here. This is the fibular artery. The fibular artery supplies nutrient artery to the fibular. It gives lateral malular branch and lateral calcaneal branch. The tibial artery gives off a circumflex fibular branch, and it continues down, and it supplies medial malular branch and medial calcaneal branch. This fibular nutrient artery, which is coming from the fibular artery, is clinically very useful. This allows us to use a segment of the fibular as a vascularized graft when we are using the fibular to graft a defect in the tibia on the other leg. So, this is one clinical importance of the vascular supply. Now, we will trace these neuromascular structures and the tendinous structures to this space here, where my finger is located. This space is referred to as the tarsal tunnel. This tarsal tunnel is a space which is bridged over by this flexor retiniculum, and we have got it, and part of it is visible here on this side, and a little bit of it is visible on the other side. This flexor retiniculum is a tough structure which extends from the calcaneus to the medial malulus, and we have split it open to show the tarsal tunnel. Passing through the tarsal tunnel, we have the tendinous structures and the neurovascular structures in this order, and there is a mnemonic for this. Anterior to posterior, we have the tibialis posterior. Then we have the next structure, the flexor digitorum longus. Then we have the blood vessels. Collectively, this is the posterior tibial artery and the venaecomitantes, which form the posterior tibial vein together. And we can clearly see that the posterior tibial artery is encircled by a series of veins on either side, which are the accompanying veins of the posterior tibial artery. The next structure that we see here is this one. This is the tibial nerve. The nerve and the artery, both of them, go to the sole of the foot and they divide into a medial planter and a lateral planter. And the next last structure that we can see here is this one. This is the flexor halosus longus tendon. So therefore, we have a mnemonic here. Away from anterior to posterior, we have tom, dick, bloody, nervous, harry. The tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus. Bloody refers to the posterior tibial artery and venae. Nervous refers to the tibial nerve. And harry refers to the tendon of the flexor halosus longus. All these tendons are enclosed in synovial sheath. And we can see remnants of the synovial sheath here. This is the synovial sheath of the flexor halosus longus. Here also, we notice something. The posterior tibial artery and vein are giving branches to the calcaneus. These are the medial calcaneal branches. And simultaneously, we can also see the tibial nerve is also giving branch to the calcaneus. These are the medial calcaneal branches. That brings me to an important clinical correlation here. This tibial nerve can get entrapped under this flexor retinaculum. And that condition is known as the Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. In which condition, the patient will have weakness of the muscles of the sole of the foot as well as numbness tingling of the region distributed by the medial and the lateral plantar nerves. And additionally, the person will also have heel pain because of compression and irritation of the calcaneal branches of the tibial nerve. This is to be differentiated from another condition which happens in the foot. And that is known as the jogger's foot where the medial plantar nerve gets entrapped under the abductor halosus muscle. That also produces very similar manifestations. The difference being that there will be no heel pain. These veins, which I mentioned, the deep calf veins, which are very important in circulating pushing blood, venous blood up towards the heart. Because the blood inside the calf veins is under very low pressure, 0 to 2 millimeters of mercury. And they have to travel up against gravity to the heart. So therefore, they need external assistance. And in that situation, these muscles, the deep calf muscles and the triceps sure, when they are contracting and relaxing within the tight, artificial compartment, they act as what is known as a peripheral pump or a peripheral heart.  If due to any reason, either immobility or bed-ridden invalid, the calf muscles are not active, then stasis will occur in these veins and that will lead to deep vein thrombosis. That is the reason why, after surgery, the patient is mobilized within 24 hours. And at the same time, prophylactically, we have to give herparin, low dose herparin to prevent deep vein thrombosis. When the deep vein thrombosis is a very serious condition, apart from producing swelling of the calf, it can also produce pulmonary embolism. And that is for the same reason, when people are on long flights, people are advised to keep themselves well hydrated and they're supposed to walk up and down the aisle of the plane just to keep their calf muscles moving. And communicating with these deep calf veins are these perforating veins which perforate through the deep fascia. And we can see one perforator here, we can see another perforator here and there are several such perforators. When deep vein thrombosis, these perforators, which normally receive blood from superficial to deep, the flow is reversed and can lead to very close veins. So that is all for now about the deep muscles of the posterior compartment and the neurovascular structures. Thank you very much for watching. If you have any questions or comments, please put them in the comment section below. Dr. Sajja Sanyal signing off. Have a nice day.


Hello everyone welcome back to another session in dentistry and more today we have a malignant condition Which is known as malignant melanoma, which is a neoplasm of epidermal melanocytes so epidermal melanocytes Which is one of the most biologically unpredictable and deadly of all human neoplasm? Okay, this is a very deadly neoplasm and which is very unpredictable This malignant melanoma, which is the most or the third most common cancer of skin of skin After basal cell cosonoma and scoma cell cosonoma of K. This is about skin So earlier it was believed that melanomas develop in knee-y especially the junctional knee-y But now it is thought that the lesions which were Interpreted as junctional knee-y where in fact the pre malignant melanocytic Displacias, okay, so melanocytic Displacia so before it was Thought to be a junctional knee-y, but now it is understood that it is a pre malignant melanocytic dysplasia so certain lesions considered to be pre malignant melanomas are the Accurate knee-y, dysplastic knee-y, congenital knee-y and cellular blue knee-y so Coming to the etiological factors the environmental factors are sun exposure artificial UV sources socioeconomic status, fair skin, red hair and Number of melanocytic knee-y all could be the etiological factors in genetical factors the familial melanoma familial melanoma and Zero derma pigment osm, okay There is factors of oral melanomas are unknown basically They have no apparent relationship to chemical thermal or physical events to which the oral mucosa is continuously Exposed so there are two phases in the growth of a melanoma that is a radial growth phase Okay, first one is radial Growth phase Radial growth phase is the initial phase which may last for many years and the neoplastic process is confined to the epithelium, okay radial Growth the neoplastic activity is confined to epithelium only and the second phase is a vertical growth phase, okay vertical Growth phase which begins when the neoplastic cells populate the underlying Connected tissue and in this phase so connected tissue what happens there will be metastasis So that is a two types of growth seen in Malignant melanoma that is the radial growth and vertical growth, okay So we have four types of melanoma that is the first one is superficial Spreading type superficial spreading melanoma second one is neodular melanoma third one is lentigo Malignant melanoma and the last one is The acryl lentiginous melanoma So the clinical features of superficial spreading or SSM is which exists in a radial growth phase called pre malignant melanosis and It present as a tan brown black or add mixed relations of sun exposed skin especially the backside and Vertical vertical growth phase is characterized by increase in size change in color Neodularity and also ulceration in nodular melanoma Which is nm no clinically recognizable radial growth phase and Existing solely in a vertical growth phase only the vertical growth, okay and It present as a sharply delineated nodule with a decrease of pigmentation maybe pink or black which is known as Amelanotic melanoma Amelanotic melanoma so amelanotic melanoma is nodular melanoma Due to the it's pigmentation it appear as a pink or black which is known as amelanotic melanoma and Prediction for occurrence on the back and head and neck skin off The third one lendigo Maligna melanoma or LMM which exists in a radial growth phase Which is known as lendigo maligna or melanotic freckle of Hutchinson, okay? melanotic freckle Hutchinson and Occurs characteristically as a macular lesion on the malar skin of the Middle East and elderly Caucasian more common in women. Okay, so this is more common in Caucasian Ethnicity and women Okay in Malar region so the last one or the acral lendigo Melanoma which is developing on the palms and soles as well as on the toes and fingers Which is characterized by macular lendigas pigmented area around a nodule They are extremely aggressive with rapid progression from the radial to vertical growth phase So the following criteria which helps in clinical diagnosis, okay clinical diagnosis We can Go for a a b c d e rule So a is the a symmetry B is border irregularity Border irregularity C is color irregularity color irregularity Okay, D is diameter and E is elevation So this is a a b c d e rule in clinical diagnosis of malignant melanoma in border irregularity with blurred nost or ragged edges and Color irregularity pigmentation is not uniform black brown red Tan white and blue can all appear together Diameter greater than six mm growth in itself is a sign okay, so That is a a b c d e rule asymmetry border irregularity color irregularity diameter and elevation Whereas the oral manifestation it is twice as common in men than in women most commonly it is seen in 40 to 70 group age group predilection for the palate and maxillary gingiva palate and maxillary gingiva and It appears as a deeply pigmented area at times also rated and hemorrhagic Which tends to increase progressively in size and oral melanomas exist in superficial spreading acroillendigas and nodular types in Histologic features we have Malignant cells often as a nest or cluster in groups in an organoid fashion and They have large nuclei prominent nuclei and show a nuclear pseudo inclusion and Radial growth phase of superficial spreading melanoma is characterized by presence of large epithelioid melanocytes distributed in a so-called Pachytoid manner, which is known as Buckshot scatter, okay Buckshot Scatter Buckshot scatter, which is nothing but the presence of large epithelioid melanocytes distributed in a Pachytoid manner So when melanocytes penetrate the basement membrane a host cell response develops which would destroy the tumor cell And vertical growth phases characterized by proliferation of malignant cells in the dermis, okay, and The nodular type is characterized by large epithelioid melanocytes within the connective tissue and Tumor cells may invade and ulcerate the overlying epithelium and penetrate the deep soft tissues Whereas a lentigo malignant, which is characterized by increased number of atypial melanocytes Moving on to the treatment and Prognosis the surgical excision for cutaneous lesion should be performed when lymph nodes are involved regional lymph node Dissection if tumors are greater than 0.75 millimetre in thickness and located in the so-called band sites that is back arm neck and Scalp this is band site So it have a greater tendency to metastasis so surgical excision for oral melanoma jaw resection and lymph node resection should be Performed women have a much meta-servable rate up to 50 years and then the rate declines Nodular and superficial spreading melanoma have a much poorer prognosis than the LMM tumors which is less than 0.75 millimetre rarely metastasis or it could be rarely cause a reason for death and The oral melanoma have much poorer prognosis than the cutaneous ones So that is all about malignant melanoma. So we have discussed the various details and ABCD rule Various types its historical features clinical features and finally the treatment and Bands criteria buckshot scatter appearance. So it is a commonly asked as a question So I'll come with a new topic in the industry and more. Thank you


Do you have questions for the Chief of Naval Personnel? Vice Admiral Bill Moran is scheduled to hold a live all-hands call October 6th to talk with sailors fleet-wide and address any concerns or questions they may have about personnel matters. Send in your questions to hashtag AskCMP. On his second day as Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson held his first all-hands call at Naval Station Norfolk on September 22. The Navy has awarded a contract to provide solar energy to Naval Station Norfolk. The contract will provide 6 percent of Naval Station Norfolk's power requirements, beginning April 2016. Finally, widely quoted New York Yankees catcher and Navy vet Lawrence Peter Yogi Berra passed away at the age of 90. As Berra once said, when you come to a fork in the road, take it.
