Hello everyone. My name is Dinje Rimwongi working for the International Land Coalition Africa as a resource mobilization and partnership officer. I would like to welcome you to our joint session organized by International Land Coalition Africa and the Youth Initiative for Land Governance in Africa. We look forward to discussing e-learning in land governance as a key to youth and polarability in Africa and trying to discuss in depth how does land governance create job opportunities for the youth and what are the platforms that exist for e-learning to ensure that young people are being capacitated on matters to do with land governance, security of tenor and especially how can young people be engaged in participatory decision making processes or matters to do with policy, engagement, policy reforms or revolving around land governance. With that I would like to welcome you and see you on that day of June during the land governance at 3 p.m. Amsterdam time. Thank you and welcome all.

I'm happy to celebrate with our 8,000 nurses because the World Health Organization has declared 2020 the year of the nurse. I salute the nurses of Hackensack Meridian Health. They are really the backbone of our organization. Think about all the time that they're spending day and night with our patients, with their families. The face of Hackensack Meridian in a lot of ways are those dedicated nurses. Hackensack Meridian has a rich tradition of being a magnetic designated organization. I really believe in a lot of ways that magnet designation really thrust Hackensack Meridian on their quality journey. Nurses no doubt are making a huge difference every day in the care that we're delivering and in transforming healthcare through their innovation. There's no doubt that good nursing care, solid nursing practice results in better quality outcomes and no question the patient experience is enhanced. I just want to again celebrate all our nurses, congratulate all of them, thank them for everything that they do each and every day and they certainly deserve this year being 2020 the year of the nurse. Congratulations everybody.


Hey, Bolo Buddies. Thanks for watching. Okay. I think this is my absolute favorite video of the month is the featured seller members video. So that is where I feature the Bolo's of the members of my Bolo Buddies YouTube channel. So let me show you what I'm talking about and if you're new to the channel, you probably haven't seen one of these if you're not. We're what on the fourth month now. So super exciting. Let me pull up my screen share. So if you go to any of my videos and you hit the join button, this is going to pop up and basically my channel is completely free. But if you want to join memberships to get perks, you can do that. And for $1.99 a month, you get loyalty badges, and you also get custom emojis. For $4.99 a month, you get to be a part of this video, which is my favorite. So I get to feature your Bolo in a video and it's super fun. It's super cool. And if you don't know what a Bolo is, it is an item to be on the lookout for. So basically I reach out to you. I ask you for some information. I'm going to ask you where you got the item, what you paid for it, and what it sold for. And then I'm going to feature it in this video for everybody on my channel to watch. Now, this is great if you're trying to grow a YouTube channel or if you just want your eBay store featured because I'm going to put that information down in the description of the video. And if you have a YouTube channel, I am going to share it in the tabs. You'll see it popped up. I just had something fly on me. Anyway, moving on. The next level is $9.99 a month. And with that level, I am going to share something of yours on one of my social media platforms. So that can be a shout out on my YouTube channel. That can be a share in my Facebook group. That can be a share on Instagram, something like that.  It's basically, I'm advertising for you. And the final membership is new. And it's a big one. It's the Bolo featured member. So that is where I create a whole video about you. And you guys have seen me do these videos. They're called the featured seller video. And that is where I feature one person. And I have been doing these pretty much since I started my channel. But I have decided to bring these into membership. So, um, basically what you would do is you would pay $49.99. So you would, it's basically, you would join for one month. And then you would downgrade back to the membership level you were at. So that's how I'm going to do it. That's the best way I can think to do it. It's just basically a one time fee to get that video. So you upgrade your service or your membership for one month. And then you downgrade. So if you're interested in that great, if you're not, no worries. It's just, um, a great way to get exposure for your store and your youtube channel or whatever in a featured seller video all dedicated to you. I'm going to share that across all of my social media. I'm going to share it on my community page on my other channel. It's going to go on instagram, twitter, both my facebook groups, basically anywhere that I have social media. So, all right, let's get started with the video. All right, you guys. So the first and you guys, you're going to want to watch to the very end because these bolos are absolutely amazing. And when I say amazing, I mean amazing. Amazing. So, um, that is why I love these videos because I learn so much from all of these resellers and their youtube channels are amazing. So please be sure that you guys are subscribing to all of them. The links are down in the description of the video. I'm also going to pop up their channels so you can see what the channel looks like. Um, but yeah, definitely bolofinders. Definitely awesome reseller content. So definitely go check them out. All right, let's get started. Um, Let's get the screen share back up. Oh, we got some bing bongs going on. Facebook notifications. Yeah, I love that stream yard now hides all notifications. So that's great because it used to be they used to pop up. So that is an upgrade for stream yard. All right, you guys. So the first bolo is franklin hill ventures and his youtube channel is new. We make sure we're up here. Yep. We are up and running. All right, so definitely go over and give him a sub but you can see he's got some what sold videos. So definitely go and check that out. He's at 24 subscribers. So let's get him to 100. All right, and wait until you see this first bolo. It is impressive. So the fun thing about this, he found this inside of a book that he bought in a bunch of books at a garage sale.  How cool is that? So this is an antique Hires Rubier baseball scorekeeper. You guys check it out. How cool is that this sold auction for $228.59. He did have free shipping on it, but have you ever seen anything like it? How cool is that? So definitely a bolo to be on the lookout for. I mean, I don't imagine I'm ever going to see one of these, but if I do, I'm going to know that I want to buy it.  I'm just, I'm not. I mean, look at that. Are you going to forget that face? No. All right. The next YouTube channel is thrifting with the Joneses and there's no content yet, but they do have a Facebook group. So definitely go over to the Facebook group. I'm going to try to remember to put the Facebook group down in the description because I typically just put the YouTube channels, but if not, just look on Facebook for thrifting with the Joneses. Check out their Facebook group and YouTube content will be coming soon. So check out this bolo. Are you ready? I feel like I'm going to be saying that on all of them. It's a speed racer t-shirt. Oh, wait. I didn't tell you about the books. Hold on a second. He paid $10 for the whole box of books at the yard sale. And he also found a ticket stub inside the books that he sold also. All right. Sorry about that. Okay. Back to the speed racer. Okay. So this speed racer shirt came from the Salvation Army. Are you guys ready for this? $0.99. Get out of town. Are you kidding me? $0.99? And it sold for $375. So this is a vintage t-shirt from 1992, you guys. $375 that sold for. Is that amazing or what? Wow. I mean, it is a cool graphic, I must say. So thrifting with the Joneses had that one. And they do a lot of clothing. So you guys don't get clothing from my channel, not a whole lot of clothing like this. So check out their Facebook group because they do talk about clothing. And there was one thing that he was talking about that I noticed in his Facebook group the other day. And it was something that he was saying that other YouTubers tell you to stay away from that he encourages you to check out. So go to his Facebook group and check out those brands because I was a little surprised by it. And actually, he was showing his solds. So I mean, there's something to be said when somebody shows you that they're selling the items. So definitely go check that out. All right. Donna Telebotolino and she has a YouTube channel where she does selling events. And you guys have seen on my channel me doing the unboxings of things that I have bought from her. Well, guess what? Coming soon, I bought another Dibble box. And this was kind of like a man box. And I told my husband about it. And I think, I think not promising anything, but I think he's going to unbox it with me. So you guys may get to see my husband and I doing an unboxing together. So stay tuned for that. Are you ready for Donna's Bolo? Because it is like whoa. Yeah, wait until you see it. So Donna sold this Chanel tweed purse for $1,500. You guys $1,500. She picked this up at a closet clean out bulk buy. So I'm not really sure what she ended up paying for it. But she does a lot of buyouts and estates and stuff like that, storage units. And that is how she is able to have YouTube auctions and selling events all the time. But every once in a while, she'll throw things up on eBay, which I'm thankful for because she is able to be a part of these videos because she does that. So this Chanel purse was a rare find. And she sold it for $1,500 on eBay. So very, very cool. So definitely check out her selling events. Again, I have a Dibble box coming, which is basically a reseller box. It's a Dibble bit of this and a Dibble bit of that. And I'm excited to get it. So stay tuned for that. Alright, Billy Flipper. And he did start a second channel. So I think it's down in the description of his video. So make sure you guys check that out too. It's where he's doing his live shows. He is a Bolo Finder. Are you ready to see his Bolo? And I haven't seen this video yet, but I want to know what he's drinking there. He just released it eight hours ago, so I haven't caught it yet, but he's drinking something. What does he have? Who drinks? Is it a lemonade? Could be a lemonade. You guys have to go check out the video to see what he's drinking. Alright, let's see this vacuum. I'm going to tell you right now, I would not have bought the vacuum because I would not have wanted to ship it. But it is a Kenmore Model 116 with a HEPA filter. It does look cool. I like the orange. It's very, very cool looking. And he sold this for full asking price of $125 and it sold for, sorry, $125 in three days. That's what I wanted to tell you. It sold in three days and he got it at a thrift store for $15. Okay, Niche Quay thrifter does not have a YouTube channel. So I want to tell you guys that this is her eBay store and it will be linked down in the description of the video. And she has awesome stuff. So take a minute and go down and check it out. And we're going to keep moving right along. But I just wanted to tell you guys that since I'm spending a little time on all the YouTube channels. And I love this Bolo. It is so cute. It's so unexpected. I never would have picked this up and looked at it and thought that this is a $75 Bolo item.  So it's an Eden plush clown.  Let me know in the comments if you would have thought that this was a $75 clown. I just think it's unbelievable. I mean, this has got to be like when I look at this video, the Bolo of the show that I'm like, I can't believe it sold for that much money. I think it's amazing. So good for her. And I love it. It's awesome. And that looks like or best offer to me. OBO or best offer. Is that what you guys see? That's what a reseller sees, right? I don't know. Anyway, she got it in an estate sale for $6 and it sold for $75. I would have been like, you want $6 for this clown? Are you kidding me? Well, I would have been wrong. So yeah, awesome. Awesome Bolo. Okay, a little blue bird.  But you can definitely learn from her. So definitely go check her out. And here is her Bolo item. This is embroidery paint and paints can definitely, definitely be a Bolo. And she picked these up for $23. I know she got like a big lot. I think if I remember correctly, it was from a thrift store. And she took a best offer of $95 and these sold in less than a week. Now, she could have parted these out and probably made a little more profit. But we talked about it because she's like, what do you think? Because she got a whole bunch of other things with it. She's like, what do you think? She's like, I can think and I'm going to do bigger lots just to try to move it quickly. And I was like, yeah, you could do that. And so that's the route she went, you know, just it's like you either like just do big lots and move them quickly or you do smaller lots and you wait a little longer. So and you do more work. So she went with I'm going to sell it in bulk and move it quickly. So all right, it's all good. And she's more just showing how things work here. So the cookie jar. This is Lizzie McGuire, the comedy series. And she got this at a garage sale for $10 and she flipped it for $100. So it says Disney here on the bottom. It is made in China, you guys. So I know sometimes if I see made in China, I'm like, oh, it's not vintage. And then I'm like, I wonder if it's worth anything. And, you know, I second guess myself if I see made in China, if I see made in Japan, I'm like, oh, it's old, it's a bolo. So just because it says made in China, you still should sometimes look things up. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's not, it can't be a bolo. So made in China typically means it's probably a newer item. But this was definitely a bolo item. And it even has a little chip here on the ear. And it still sold for $100. So definitely, definitely a cool bolo item. All right, Danielle, yard sales and dreams is at 983 subscribers, you guys. She is so close to 1,000. Please go sub her up. Let's get her to 1,000. All right, you guys, she sold this little vintage Star Wars Princess Leia Blaster gun. Are you ready for $75? One gun, $75. Yeah, if you can identify them and prove that they're real and authentic and you know they are, they are big money. She got a huge lot and she has a video on it. It is actually right here, this one right here. If you go check that out, you can hear all about it. And then this is the follow up video if you want to know even more. So if you're into the Masters of the Universe stuff, you definitely want to check those videos out. So again, that's an awesome bolo. Okay, Toledo Antique, they are our, we will spend money to make money couple. And they sell a lot of glass and really fancy antiques and vintage items. So they have really, really great different unique items. So definitely check them out. Here is an example of I will pay a lot of money because I'm going to make a lot of money. Check out this clock. How fancy and cool is that? So they paid $450 to an antique dealer for this old clock, but it sold for $1,199. So again, you know, they just know what they're looking for. They know what they're willing to pay for something and they know the margin. So definitely somebody to follow if you want to learn about vintage and antique things. They also do selling events on their channel. So definitely very, very cool. Reseller life or reselling life, she changed it up here, Butterfly Hustles. And she is just a bolo finder. And you guys, I have now sold five or six straw hats because of Butterfly Hustles. Carol taught me about straw hats and I'm loving it. Every time I find them, I buy them and they sell super quick. So super excited about that. So definitely go and check her out. And she sold this urn. It's like, got some flowers on it here. And I think, does it have, I thought I saw a butterfly, but maybe I'm just thinking I saw a butterfly. So it looks like it's just flowers. No, no, she, she's got butterflies in the title. Okay. Now I'm like, am I seeing butterflies or am I not? I don't know. But anyway, she sold this for $104.62. And she's paid $5.49 at the Goodwill and excuse me, Vista Alguri. I've never heard of that brand, Portugal. I gotta say, guys, I probably would have walked right past this. What about you? But yeah, she got full asking price for it. I mean, she had it on sale, but full asking. So pretty cool. All right, Mindful Recycle is next. And she's definitely a Bolo Finder. And I love watching her videos because I love the stuff she sells. And she actually just sent me a mystery box. And she gave me like clues for each item that she sent me. And this is the video. It's right here. It says, wow. So what I do is I unbox it. I pop up screen shares of everything that I listed from the box. But you guys, she sent me a box of Bolo's. You gotta go watch it. It's amazing. But I asked everybody to go and sub to her. She's already gotten 65 new subs. So everybody, let's get her to 500 subs. So keep the subs coming and go check out this video right here that says, wow. And yes, that's Lisa Frank. So go check it out. But super generous, super nice ever. She was just being kind and sent me an awesome box. I called it Buddy Mail. She sent me Buddy Mail. And it was super fun to do the clues and try to figure things out and just really, really neat items. So, and super educational because I look everything up. I list everything. And it taught me some Bolo items. And then I teach you guys. So it's educational also. So check it out. Okay, here is her Bolo. This is a Ralph Lauren comforter pebble path retired king size with flowers. And I just want to say that the presentation of this photo, I mean, with it on the bed, the bed is made like it looks really, really nice. So I think that, you know, that helps to sell the actual item because you can see there's no stains on it. It just looks really, really nice. She bought this for $10. I believe it was from an estate sale and she sold it for a best offer of 150. And she said it is a retired print. All right, we have the thrifty nurse next. And I'm looking at this, what sold it says, turning 400 into 4k in one month. And you guys, this girl is a nurse. And I think I'm pretty sure she's full time. So she is working super, super hard. So full time nurse, family, reselling on the side. I mean, she is having a YouTube channel. She has got to be so busy. So please go over and show her some love with a sub. Her channel is pretty new, but she is throwing out some good content. So go check her out. And she is a Bolo finder. Check out this Mercari sale. She got this Pillsbury Doughboy calendar from the Salvation Army for $10. It was missing one of the numbers. So she ordered that from eBay for $5. So she's all in for $15. And she sold it for $136. So pretty cool little Bolo right there. And yeah, Salvation Army. Isn't it cute? Super cute. All right. Choosing Goods reseller. All right. Let's talk about Choosing Goods reseller. So Carissa and I did a video here. Let me zoom in. I was a guest on her channel and we opened a mystery box from Auctions for You. It was a toy box. And it was a lot of fun, but we were cracking up. But anyway, there was this bunny. And I looked up comps on this bunny and it wasn't the exact bunny. But I'm like, that bunny's a Bolo. And we have this whole discussion about this bunny. But you guys are going to have to go watch the video to see what I tell her to list the bunny for. Oh my goodness. So anyway, Carissa sold the bunny and she sold it for $21.09 plus shipping. And the bunny sold, oops, the bunny sold I think within 24 or 48 hours. It sold super, super fast. And I was pretty sure that it was a Bolo based on the comps, but I could not find the exact bunny. I couldn't find any comparables. But she paid $50 for the box. She flipped this bunny super, super fast for $21.09 plus shipping. So I could have been wrong. We're moving on past the bunny. Okay, Auctions for You. Her store is down right now because she is in the process of moving. But I did want to grab an item just to feature it. She does YouTube Auctions and selling events, sometimes has buy it now. So definitely go check her out. But she sold this Olay Thermal Pedicure Foot Treatment. I almost said that wrong. I'm still distracted by the bunny. But anyway, these items you can sometimes pick up at garage sales. She didn't get hers at a garage sale. I think she got hers at a bulk buy. But definitely you can find these things at estate sales and garage sales. This one happens to be new, but you can find them. So be on the lookout. And if they are retired, no longer making them, people will pay up.  Crazy. I mean, I don't know what that stuff is for. I mean, what is it sell for at the store? I don't think I've ever bought foot treatment. All right. The next one is Vandy's Closet, Melissa. And Melissa's taken a little bit of a YouTube break, but I'm sure she'll be back. So give her a sub. And she sold these Salvatore for Agamal, for Agamo. I can't say that. And whatever brand it is, they sold for $150. And let's see, where'd she get those? She got those at the Goodwill Benz. So she bought those by weight. Check out this picture. That's kind of cool. Sizely. I've heard of that, but I've never seen. That's cool. That's interesting. I wonder if anybody like pays attention to it. Clever. Okay. So she shows the bottom and you can see, you guys, even with all the wear, that's amazing. $150. And so if she bought them at the Benz, she's probably got a couple bucks in them. So very cool. All right. Be carried away 30 into $5.85. I haven't seen this one yet, so definitely got to go check that out. Now, I really, really like this next Bolo because I wouldn't have picked it up. It's a grandpa sweater, she says. I love the keyword, grandpa. So it's an alpaca wool sweater. Here is the brand. It's Parker of Viana, I think is Cicet. But the thing is, is she didn't even put the brand in the title. So apparently the brand of this shirt or this sweater is not what's important. It's not going to sell the sweater. The important things are probably that it's alpaca wool. And I think that maybe keyword grandpa is important. I don't know. She's good at keywords. Her channel is just loaded with knowledge on vintage items. Definitely, definitely learn a lot from her on, like look, she's very descriptive. She has very, very descriptive, what do you call it? The description is very, she has a lot of detail in the description. That's what I'm trying to say. So me, I put the title and then I put see photos. I'm not descriptive. So, and you guys can do whatever works for you, you know, but she does a good job of that. So if you want to learn keywords and stuff like that, her channel is a great channel to follow. Oh, and she sold it for 125.99. And she bought it at the Salvation Army for $3.99. And she had free shipping on that. So pretty cool Bolo. This one is also hers. So now we're going to work our way backwards through the, through everyone. And I'm going to show you another Bolo item. And we're just going to work quickly through the Bolo. So Bolo is only no interruptions. All right. Let's see. She got this t-shirt for $2.99 at the Salvation Army. It is a single stitch, but it's a, what's it say, a native tan tanning oil. So it's just an advertising type deal. And it's over $79.99. How cool is that, you guys? Single stitch T. That, that's $79.99. I can't say I would have known that. That's awesome. All right. And this one is Vandy's closet. I think this is stunning. And I am shocked. I think like if this would have been like eBay auction, it would have went for like $6 million. Okay. I could be wrong. But I think it's stunning. I think it would have been a good auction item. But I don't know. I'm not, I just know some of that vintage lingerie over on eBay can go like crazy. But I don't know. Is there a brand? I know brand is important. I don't know. I should ask my friend Leah. She is like a pro at nightgowns and stuff. Like she knows a lot about that stuff. But it's just, isn't it beautiful? What do you guys think? Anybody know a lot about nightgowns and stuff? Let me know what you think. I think it's beautiful. But $60. Definitely a bolo. All right. This one is the Thrifty Nurse. And she got this at, oh, the nightgown came from the bends, which I can't believe she dragged that out of the bends. That was stunning. Thrifty Nurse Power Rangers, a thrift store, and a yard sale. So some of the items came from each. And she had about $10 total in it. She did say that she thinks now if she would have parted this out, she probably could have gotten more money. She ended up selling this for $76 plus shipping. And it's a mixture of different toys, Power Ranger toys, and dinos, and ninjas, and different toys. It looks like, I don't know if some of those are, yeah, I was going to say some of them are vintage. Yeah, she probably could have done better partying it out. But you know, that's how you learn, right? So I'm guessing somebody probably messaged her and said, hey, I would have bought that for this or somebody told her. But that's okay. She still made a nice profit. And that is how we learn. I have done it also. I have undersold something and you know, you kind of kick yourself for a minute. But then you're like, you know what? I'll know for the next time. And you just move on. All right, this dollhouse miniature set. Super cool. Came from an estate sale. She paid $10 for it. This one belongs to Mindful Recycle. And she sold it for $147. How fun is that? So vintage dollhouse furniture most definitely can be a bolo. This one is all set up like it's ready to go.  It's so cute. It looks like a real house, right? $147. Wow. The next item, this one is Chosen Goods reseller. This was a consignment item. So she consigned this for someone. It is a Samsung SmartThings Hub 2 generation and it sold for $64.29. It is an open box. It's new but the box is open. So $64.29 plus shipping. So definitely something to bolo for. I have found things like this at thrift stores that are still in the box but have been opened and definitely a good thing to pick up. This little Barbie is Butterfly Hustles. It's from, well, it says 1966 but I think that is just the patent date because I don't think, yeah, I don't think she's that old. That's just the patent date. Pretty sure. I could be wrong if I'm wrong. Somebody can let me know in the comments but I think that's a patent date, not the date of the doll because I don't think the 1966 had the rings on their fingers like that. She's a newer one. That's what's confusing about the Barbies because they do have, they are stamped that way but that's just, yeah, a patent date. So it is confusing. Let's see. The person buying that knew that I'm sure. So she got this at Value Village for $1.50 and it sold for $63.38. It is darling. It's a little Eskimo Burnett. That's the color of the hair. Barbie doll. Super cute. Super cute. I don't think I've ever seen one like that. So cute little outfit. All right. This one is Yard Sales and Dreams and again, this is the Castle Gray Skull from the He-Man. This is Masters of the Universe. If you don't know, M-O-T-U is Masters of the Universe. I did not know that for the longest time. So that's what it stands for. Kind of like Bolo stands for be on lookout. So anyway, $10 she paid for all of this Masters of the Universe stuff and this she took a best offer of $160 for this castle. So really great find. And you guys, she's getting an extra one because I just couldn't help it. I had to share this photo. It's just a bread and butter but she picked this up at a junk store. I don't know what a junk store is, but a junk store for a dollar and she sold it for $25. How fun is that? So it's a woman with a big beehive hair putting on lipstick. Pretty fun, right? Yeah. $25 for that picture, you guys. So old photos. Usually the black and whites are the ones that sell. This one caught me by surprise a little bit. So I wanted to pull it and show it to you guys. But definitely cool. $25 for that. All right. The next one is It's All Goods. This is a Monopoly game. She got it at the Goodwill for $2.99 and it sold for $89.99 plus shipping. So that one is used, you guys. So it's not even new and it still went for that much. And it's the Supernatural Join the Hunt. So it's one of the specialty monopolies. It's not your standard just monopoly. So definitely scan that bar code when you see the ones that are specialties. So this one is a little bluebird and this is Death Note Complete Box. I believe these are DVDs. I've never heard of Death Note. I don't know what that is. Is it DVDs? No, wait. These are books. I'm sorry. Not DVDs. These are books. Let's see. Oh, so maybe it's more like anime? Yeah, maybe. That looks more like anime. So I don't know. But definitely be on the lookout for it. She got these at a yard sale for $40 and they sold in less than 24 hours for $180 with free shipping. So that's a fast sale. This one is really interesting. Nish Kuei sold this one. It's a Trinket Box. She got it at Thrift Store for $3. Took a best offer of $65. So it's just a silver-plated Trinket Box. I usually pass on silver-plated stuff typically. So I probably also would have passed on this. But I don't know. She sold it for $65. So that's awesome. And I don't know. What do you guys think? I would love to hear you guys' comments on the different items because it's just so interesting on what different people pick up because I wouldn't have picked this up. And look, she sold it for $65. That's awesome. So I would have missed out. And now I know that maybe I should be picking up silver-plated Trinket Boxes. So that's what's great. And Philly Flipper picked up these shoes and a storage unit. So he paid, let's see, paid $30 for the unit, over 100 items in the unit. So cost of goods was around $0.25. Did I read that right? Yeah. And he sold the shoes for $180. And he paid about $0.25 for them. These are the Nike, not Nike, Nike Air Jordan Ferrari Retro Ferrari 2014. There you have it. I don't know. People in their shoes, people love shoes. I guess I'm not a big shoes person. So I don't know, $180 for a pair of you shoes seems crazy to me. But people love them. $180 free shipping. Super cool. Especially when they were $0.25. That's definitely a bowlo. All right. Donna Telebotolino sold this Eileen Fisher Denim jacket. It came out of a storage unit. It was a new old stock item. It retailed for $238. I have seen her talk about Eileen Fisher at her auction. She has actually sold a lot of Eileen Fisher at her YouTube auctions. This one she happened to pull and sell on eBay. It sold for $75 with free shipping. So Eileen Fisher is a bowlo brand, I guess. I don't do a lot of clothes anymore, but I'm going to say $75. Not too bad. Gucci jeans. This one was thrifting with the Joneses. Sold this. He picked these up for $4.99 at the Salvation Army.  They do this together. So when you go over to their Facebook group, I'm pretty sure you'll be interacting with both of them. But excuse me. He picked these up, or she, one of them, picked these up at the Salvation Army for $4.99. They sold for full asking price of $210. Could you imagine going into a thrift store and getting a pair of Gucci jeans for $4.99? Remember, they also found the Speed Racer shirt at their Salvation Army for $0.99. That's a good Salvation Army. All right. Franklin, I don't want to mess it up. Franklin Hill Ventures also sold this Yadro. Yadro, Yadro. I think I'm saying it right. Yadro. Did I get it, guys? Poodle with basket of apples. You ready? Well, you can see it. You ready for what he paid for it? Antique Mall, 20 bucks. $20, guys. And it sold for $293 on auction. So funny. And he actually got, I think, two others at the same antique mall. And he actually did very well on those also. So this Yadro is a very, very good brand. And if you guys remember back in another video I did, Yard Sales and Dreams also sold some Yadro. And Donatella Bottolino had a selling event the other night, and she was selling some Yadro at her selling event. So definitely a Bolo item to be on the lookout for. Okay. The last item is this little frog. It is a Dom France pot de verre. Probably totally said that wrong. Small frog on a lily pad. It's signed with the box. They got this at an estate sale for 300. Oh, nope. They bought it for 90 and sold it for $399.99. Can anybody guess who bought the frog? They paid 90. Yep, you got it Toledo Antique. Like I said, they pay up for their items, but they also sell their items for big bucks. So it's definitely, they're definitely, they do a good job of knowing when to pay up. All right, you guys.

Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I thought I would go over today the importance of sizing. There was a trade that we did. It was yesterday, June 2nd, that failed. It got stopped out, it did not work. I didn't get back into it. That was a good decision actually. Anyways, it very well could have worked. It was crazy that it didn't work but the market lift lifted and when the market lifts, it lifts all things with it. Anyways, getting back to what I was saying, sizing is important because if you mis-size yourself and what do I mean by mis-sizing yourself? I mean taking too much risk or too little risk. So if you're gonna risk $500 in every trade, then that's what you need to do. Which consequently means that the difference between the entry and the stop is different in almost every trade we take that the number of shares that you take will not be the same. So you can't just say 500 shares, 1,000 shares, 1,000, 1,000, you can't. It has to be the dollar amount of the risk should be the same or equal to the same. So you might take one great trade, fabulous trade and undersize it and then take a second trade and oversize it and lose and then you lose. Excuse me, or you could take one bad trade and risk four times the amount you want or three times the amount you want and then you need four trades just to get back to break even of equal size. So the bottom line is that sizing is critical and I'm just gonna go over this here. This was Microsoft yesterday, okay? Stock opened here and long story short, we had the stop in, it was basically three and a half bucks was the stop.  Actually, you can see really that it completely failed in the day here. This did get down, it was news in the morning, it was an outlook, flipped. Anyways, we had to stop in, it stopped everybody out. But if you didn't size yourself right, in other words, again, three and a half bucks was a large stop, in my opinion, that was large for us. Microsoft is not cheap anymore, it's expensive though. So again, size of stops is relative to the spread of the stock and usually the cost price point as well. So bottom line is that if you took just a thousand shares, willy-nilly, you would have risked what, $3,500. And if you don't risk $3,500 on every trade you take, you would have completely oversized yourself if for example, you would normally take a $500 risk or even a thousand, you would have lost three and a half times the amount in one trade. That's my whole point why sizing is critical and I think this is something people struggle with. One of the reasons people struggle with it is because it's easier to just take the same share quantity every time, but you can't do that. When I call a trade, if I say for example, 50 by 30, that's 80 cents is the risk. Some trades we take, the risk is 80 cents. Sometimes the trades we take, the risk is three and a half bucks, which was this one here. So do you see the difference? Sometimes it's 20 cents. So, and then you might undersize yourself, you know. But it is important to have the risk be the same. This is not an exact science. The trades are setting up quickly. I'm talking fast in the room. You gotta follow, you gotta know we're watching. We're only usually watching one thing at a time. So I don't think it's hard to follow, but sizing is important, people struggle with it. Why? Because they are good at math. I hate to say it, I hate to say it, but it's true. People are not good with math in their head. This is a strong suit of mine. It's been, I've been working with numbers for years. Again, I used to do mortgages and fun fact here. I used to pre-qualify every single person. First of all, if somebody wanted to buy a house, I had to pre-qualify them to get the, to put in the offer for the real estate agents. So I had to do all the work like an underwriter myself, look at the income, look at their tax returns, figure out everything they did, figure out, pull their credit, look at all their debts, figure out what they could afford. But I did that for people when I just did refinances too. So I've always been good with numbers and quick with numbers. And I did it with refinances because I didn't want to submit a loan to the bank, to an underwriter and have it get declined. I might say to someone, you've got to pay off this credit card or you can't, you won't get approved for the refinance or whatever, or we have to roll it all in together to consolidate. I would look at all that stuff as if I was making a lending decision like an underwriter, because I knew what they were looking at. So I was always looking at the numbers. When I was helping people, that's why I had such a high approval ratio. If someone would come to me, I mean, I had a very high close ratio that they would get the loan approved, which was something that not a lot of mortgage people did because I took the time to sit with people and also evaluate the information, their credit report and their income before I even put through an application so the application would get approved and not decline. But the fact is that numbers has been a strong suit for me. If you are not used to doing calculations in your head, if you can't figure out when I say 50 by 30, that that means 80 cents, if or a dollar 80 could be depending on the stock we're doing, or if you can't size yourself enough, then take it down, put 100 share quantity or 200 share quantities in your setup so you don't oversize till you get used to doing it. You can add, if it continues to go, buy a calculator, you can do that too, and then you gotta get better at math. I don't think it's hard and I think it's very useful to be good with numbers and mathematics. I felt it useful my whole life, but I think if you're in an industry or you're used to doing something for work where you didn't have to use numbers, then you have to buy a calculator or size down because I don't wanna see people taking a $3,500 risk and something like this when they would normally take 1,000 or less. So sizing is critical, it's important, and I want people to do well. This is a topic we'll have at the top, another discussion and maybe I can do it on the white board and talk about it more, but this is a trade that we did that lost, it didn't work out. I'm glad I didn't go back after it. It flipped, it failed on the day, rally with the market, but the stock was big. So this was a good example to go over here, why it is so important to size yourself, right? Not that we have big stops all the time, but occasionally we do. Again, the stock is over 270 bucks now. So a $3,500 stop, that's really not crazy because when it goes in your favor, it goes a lot, it has a big move and you can make a lot. So we'll see where this goes next week. I'm also watching the market. Good luck everyone. Any questions or if you're interested in signing up for the Golden Gat course, it's in a couple of weeks. The end of June is the June class, June 25th and 26th. Have a great day everyone.


I'm doing well. How are you all? Thanks. Good to see you. Thank you for the discussion. It's very nice to be here. You have been with us before on S16. You've been one of the big proponents over the past several years with Senator Sears and others on this. You have seen an amendment that we are putting forward. We look at the amendment yesterday, and I think overall there were some questions. Wondering if you might just say a few words, having seen the amendment, support for it, concerns, suggestions that you might have, and then we can have a dialogue with you. Happily. Just a few words. The amendment, the issue of course supports the amendment. We are very interested in not only having data about school discipline, or at least allowing this commission to have the data that it needs to do the job that the legislature is asking it to do, but to ensure that all categories and things that are typically where we find disparities in school discipline are at their fingertips, and not just that information, but that it can be analyzed in a way that allows the commission to really figure out where are the connections, and that's the section about being cross-tibulated. We support the amendment. It adds a few key data points to make sure that the commission has the information that it needs to do its work. Without this information, we think that the commission is going to be at a deficit, and so we're hopeful that this information can be provided to them. Most of this information is available and has been available in previous Agency of Education reports on school discipline that I mentioned in my last testimony. They did two to this committee in 2016 and 2017 that included most, if not all of the information that this amendment seeks to include as well. I'll stop there. I apologize that I was not able to watch yesterday's review of the amendment, but I look forward to answering your questions if I can. No problem at all. Thanks for being here. That's very helpful. Questions following up on yesterday's discussion. Senator Perslick? I don't have any specific language, but it sounds like he has the support of the bill as amended, which was one thing I was just wondering of, because I think it's a little different than if you were to go through from his report kicked out, I think it was called that, that the things that was recommended in there, we might not be doing all those, but we're kind of taking an intermittent step, but it looks like we're going in the direction that was recommended. So I just confirming that it feels that we're following the reports that were issued in the past. Mr. Diaz? Yes. I think we're supportive of the bill as a step forward. We certainly hope that the commission, and we'll tell this to the commission if they bring people in, or for a part of it, that there are certain things that we hope to see recommended in accordance with what the data is telling us. But we agree that gathering data and having stakeholders at the table is important to actually coming up with meaningful solutions. So I think it's a great first step down the road towards really addressing the disparities in exclusionary discipline in our schools. Senator Hooker, please. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Diaz. One of the concerns about the amendment was about the collection of data at small schools, and I'm disaggregating the data, and therefore I'm kind of exposing personally identifiable information. Can you talk about that and maybe ways to get around that, or do you see that as a problem or not? Thanks. So as a ACLU attorney, we are very cognizant of privacy concerns, of course, as an organization that fights for the right to privacy and a number of fronts. On this issue, we think that, I'm at least not seeing a major privacy concern. I'm aware of FERPA and it is a complex and somewhat labyrinthine law, I'll say it is never really clear to me how exactly it applies when you're talking about just data points. However, my thinking is that this is just data that's going to the commission. Not all of it has to be released to the public, and so it's still within a state apparatus or a state entity. So hopefully that would handle some of those issues. I think the agency of education's lawyers will do everything they can to make sure that they're not violating FERPA. But my hope is that the commission can have all the information it needs in order to make decisions that make sense for the entire state. I hope that I know that's not a maybe a full answer to the question, but I hope it's useful. Thank you. Senator Lyons, please. Thank you. Thank you, Jay. This is very helpful. I think yesterday we did talk about the data collection, the disaggregation and what that little section actually meant. But I do have another question about the categories that are listed here for data collection and understanding that you're trying to get at the variables that might contribute to greater disciplinary actions for some kids over others. Knowing that tiered support and PBI are related to mitigating against social determinants. I'm wondering if there was any thought to including any of that epidemiological analysis of family situation, exposure to drugs, a single parent home, that information that is very informative when children have behavioral problems and including this discipline. Knowing that there is a strong interest in understanding the racial disparities of gender differences and so on. But was there any thought about, or could there be some thought about some of these other areas? I think there certainly could be some thought about them. My understanding of the amendment or the categories in the amendment is that those are categories that schools traditionally track. That's why they were included. I'm not sure because schools, as we all know, do a lot of data collection. This was trying to mirror some of that. Again, also, if the data is not there for some of these things, it may cause the commission to make recommendations about what additional data needs to be gathered if possible. But my understanding is at least the data that's currently there gives. I know we might currently be collecting all the data and we might not actually be getting down to the exact information that is going to help us understand how to change the direction. I don't know, maybe is there a way to add something in here about exploring new data categories without defining those, maybe related to social determinants, something like that? Certainly. I mean, I think that's something that the commission, you know, that you all could add and that the commission could be tasked with. I want to work on some language center lines with Mr. Demerite. Mr. Demerite, bring it to us tomorrow. Okay. We'll do that. That sounds okay. As long as Jim is willing to help me, that's it. Always. Always there. Any other questions for Mr. Diaz? Okay. Thank you, Jay. Great. No, thank you all for your work on this bill and the many others. There's a lot here all very busy. So I really appreciate the work that has been going on, especially in terms of equity issues. Thank you. And we know how to reach you. Where to reach you if we run into any other questions. So, Senator Hooker, before we go, you're on the floor with this probably Tuesday. Any other questions from you? Not right now, but I would like to talk with Jim and maybe with Senator Lyons is crafting more of our language for the amendment and just get some clarification on, you know, what we expect from the amendment. Can I maybe I could add something? I'm looking at the on page three of the proposal that we have in between the yellow and it does say recommend changes to the types of data collected and data collection processes. So I'm wondering if we if we could include in there something about data collection related to the contribution of social determinants, something like that to suspensions and expulsions, something just so it's there, it doesn't have a fully explicit or a big deal, but a little something to move along. Jim, do you need any other language besides that to from Senator Lyons? I don't. That's very clear. And I don't see any objections to adding something like that. And Senator Lyons, if this were to pop up as a question in any way on the server, you know, we'll look to you to. Sure, Senator Hooker will be really good. There's no question. It will be forehand. There's there's no question about that. And great. Anything else before we move on to Secretary French's eyes and comments on this amendment? And Mr. Diaz, if you're able to stay on, we would welcome that. Thank you for your help. Thank you for your support. And. We may be calling on you soon. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I'll be here. Thanks, Secretary French. Good afternoon. Very much appreciate you coming in. We know you're equally as busy this time of year being pulled in all sorts of directions. We are continuing our work on S 16, which is in appropriations and where we're hoping to get their support. We appreciate all the work you've already done on S 16 and your support and moving in this direction. We do have an amendment that I know was shared with you where we the pro tem and Senator Hardy came to a few of us asking to disaggregate some of this data. And we've just heard from we've heard from our Ledge Council, Mr. Diaz, the ACLU and now eager to hear your thoughts on this. So with that, the floor is yours. Yeah, good afternoon. I appreciate the opportunity to testify. I have not seen the amendment. So I just I just received the invitation to testify about an hour ago. So I'm I'm unfamiliar with what's being proposed. I apologize. I couldn't find it on your website. The apology is mine. I'm just looking to see if our committee assistant is low might have it for us or might it be on the website? It is there. It is there. But it's under it's under S 16. I don't think it's on the on today's document. Probably on yesterday's document. I don't know where. See if I can find it. I can I can change it. Can you put it on today's? Yeah, thanks, Jeannie. While while we're doing this, I can just mention a little bit, Mr. Secretary, what we're trying to do is specify and collect, you know, what kind of data are we looking for? You know, our concerns. I know you share them around. You know, our students from the bypass community are disabled students are other students who is experiencing these suspensions and expulsions. We're trying to get information more specific information that will inform this commission as it moves to do this work. And gathering data and and having this data in front of stakeholders and those involved. We feel as I don't want to speak for the committee. I feel like we're leaning in that direction of finding that to be an important thing. Yeah, I'm still having trouble finding the amendment. I just because it takes a while for the system. So it's actually by enough to show. Oh, OK, thank you. I'll look for it there. Yeah, I got it there. Thanks. If you want to take a moment and go off screen, Secretary French and read it, we are happy to take a quick five minute stretch. No, I can read it pretty quickly. And when you say amendment, so this is just read through. The yellow. Yeah. So much for the stretch. Problem with having such a smart and talented secretary. Well, no, I wouldn't go that far. Yeah, so. So you're specifying to desegregation. That's what I'm picking up on. That's correct. Yeah. All data was desegregated by minimum following subgroups. Shall be cross tabulated. Five seconds. So this is prescribing some reporting format, basically, is how I view it. Is that is that fair? Is the end? Yeah. The task force will make it to end suspensions. OK, define the best practice, compile. Available data and the data collection regarding suspensions. Total number of this total. Yeah, I mean, I don't see a problem with that.  I'll call them that, you know, that might or might not exist in the federal federal data dictionary. So I don't see that concern here from what I'm reading. It's certainly, I think, appropriate to have a group make recommendations to improve data collections if they're insufficient. And I know that that claim was made in the earlier vision of the draft, which I think is totally appropriate. I was concerned about that group then defining what those data elements were or what should be without, you know, they certainly could make recommendations in that regard, but to actually do it is, I think, is problematic. And my other concern was that they would also be involved in the collection of the data. What I read here is more about reporting, making sense of the information and making recommendations. So I, you know, there's nothing here I think that would be problematic from the agency standpoint. I think the reporting format would be improved because I know that's been an issue. But we certainly also as I make the point last time, if the reporting, reporting systems that we have or the collections that we have are deemed to be insufficient for Vermont purposes, then we should, we should endeavor to create new data collections. But it needs to be acknowledged firstly that there is a world of universe of data elements out there. And I know Vermont's a very special and unique place. But I find it hard to imagine that there aren't somehow already defined in that larger data dictionary the elements that we would find useful. And I did. I think I circulated to you anyway, Senator Campion, the report that the the AOE was asked to do in 2017 on this issue on exclusionary disciplines that sort of talked about some of the the data elements that are available in the small n size and and so forth. But I think as amended, this is an improvement to the concerns that I had previously. OK. And I, you know, I've circulated written testimony to you as well. Yeah, no, yeah. Appreciate that. And we can go back and. And I just underscore the point to that. I'm willing as secretary as any secretary should to be held accountable for the data reporting requirements. That is one of the essential responsibilities of the secretary and the General Assembly should expect and query the agency to produce reports and so forth. My earlier concern was like you were setting up another group to have responsibility over specific data collection. And that that's just one of those contributing factors that undermines our capability to actually do what we're supposed to do. If we're not doing something well, then you should expect us to do it better. But to to add on some other group to cross purposes actually distracts us from from doing what is an essential requirement of our our function. Mr. Diaz, while you're here and Mr. Demeray, any any concerns or questions, committee members, of course, first and foremost, as we can just have a conversation about this. We're at this stage. I just want to address the comment earlier from Senator Hooker about concerns about privacy. There was to say subject to state and federal privacy laws. So it would not allow the release of information even to the task force if that release would violate federal or state privacy laws. Questions. Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Appreciate it very much. I don't know if you're able to stay on with us for a little bit. We are going to just take a quick break until 245 and return. And we'd love to just have 15 minutes of your time to talk about what we've been talking a lot about this this session and that is sort of COVID recovery. Yeah, sure. I'm I think my schedule is good till three. So OK, so we're to have an


Cordero got another chance to go back there. When did you make that decision and what went into it?  So that decision was made during the week last week. Second of the hurdle situation, it looked like if he got, if he made that play, he might have had it as that's the way it looked when you looked at it again. For sure. A lot of returns in NFL, throughout the weeks, you look at big returns. They're usually one block away, maybe a half block away or broken tack away from it being a touchdown. And that was the case on Thursday. You look at the return game, it's a big run play. You know, there's 40 or more yards being exchanged on a kickoff or a kickoff or a punt, but kickoff returns a big run play. So there's a lot of space involved and a lot of blocking. It's a longer run play as you look at it on offense compared to special teams. So it's harder for the return units to get those blocks of spring returns open, especially when you're going against, when teams are going against a returner like CP and we got to expect for every team to bring their A game when they go against CP as the returner. So we got to do a better job overall. It starts for myself when it comes to the basic fundamentals and finishing our blocks to give our offense either extra first downs or put up points on the board. No, there's there's been explosive returns right now. It's not as many touchdowns. There's only one kickoff return for a touchdown. And there's hasn't been any punt returns for touchdowns, but there has been punt blocks for touchdowns when it comes to the return game, though, like I said, there's longer run plays. They're harder to get those. But there has been a lot of explosive returns in the return game, whether you talk about punt return or kickoff return. Yeah, this is randomness, but they'll start to come in bunches as the season goes on. There's going to be again, like I was talking with Josh, like there's always one block away from it being a touchdown for various teams. When it comes to that, when it comes to explosive returns or explosive returns for touchdowns, it's been a couple and then it goes back to us just being have an urgency with the details and finishing our blocks. And is it hard? Yes, for the players out there, it is hard, but it's going to make it worth it when you gain those extra first downs or you score touchdowns. Scoring touchdowns in NFL, whether it's offense, defense or special teams, it's hard to do and we firmly believe great plays made from great effort. Our guys are giving great effort. We just have to go out there and continue to finish and use our proper technique and win play side number. And again, it starts with me as a coach doing a better job each and every week, putting our guys in the best positions to finish their blocks and create explosive returns. I mean, one, it starts with me. You know, Coo's doing a great job. Bradley and those guys are doing there's no excuse for that. Like our job is the we're out there to put points on the board. And there's been a quite a few P.A.T.'s missed this year in NFL, whether you're playing an early game in the sea or early Thursday night game or if you're playing a late Monday night game, Monday game. Like those those things happen. We got to do a better job just overall operationally. And you can't just put that on Coo. Like one is with me. It starts with myself making sure to continue to always make sure our guys are ready, staying in the present. When it comes to those things, but when you talk about snap, hold and kick, he's the third part of that whole situation. And then you had a fourth variable. We talk about protection. Then you got a fifth variable when you talk about weather, you know, so all those things come into play. But at the end of the day, we're process driven. And we got to make sure that we're all dialed in and we make sure because something could be tweaked by half an inch or anything like that. And they could cause a big result. So when it comes to P.A.T.'s, like that's our job to make those kicks. There's something in Carolina that's tough to judge or read? No, no, it's our job. We can't allow the external change who we are and what we're about internally when it comes to our operation and what we do on special teams. I don't say it's anything about Carolina. I mean, yes, we missed, not he, we missed two P.A.T.'s. But you look back to here, he had the Pro Bowl season. He had three, there was three P.A.T.'s missed that season. But he was a Pro Bowl player at the Calipa player, which he still is. It's just our job as a staff and as a unit. We got to make sure all 11 guys are in tune doing our job on every single opportunity because you never know when that opportunity is going to affect the game. And yes, those are two points, two P.A.T.'s equals two points. But our momentum changing plays. We go down there, you score a touchdown, you put six points on the board. Now you could give them a little bit of momentum by missing a P.A.T. whether it's not all 11 guys doing their job. Even the same thing happened to Carolina, too, when it comes to P.A.T.'s. Yeah, we always over, even when we make P.A.T.'s or field goals, we're still looking at the operation because we could get fixated on the result. But the process and operation wasn't as clean when it comes to that. There was a P.A.T. or field goal that we made versus Seattle. And it wasn't clean operation, but the ball go through the uprights. As a coach and as players, we could be like, oh, yeah, the results were good on to the next, or we got to be dialed in and focus on that process and operation so it doesn't hurt us in the long run. So whether we won this game by 20 points or if we lose the game by 10 points, we're still looking at our operation. We're still looking at our basic fundamentals. We're still looking at our techniques. We're still looking at situational football. Doesn't matter about the results. We're still going to look at that stuff. So I don't see it as an eye opening moment. This is just things that if you want to make it an eye opening moment, that's you as a person doing that. But it doesn't matter the result. We got to just make sure that we're dialed in and those little details, because if we're died on our little details and we stay consistent with our details, that allows us to be great as a unit, which that's our focus. And that's our overall goal. Scott, if that answer your question, how do you guys are kind of handling the running back rotation or usage? I guess, how do you guys, what's the philosophy there at the moment? Well, I think for us, and again, I think it permeates throughout the rest of the offense is the availability on Sunday with your number being called up on game day as an active allows us and the player to participate and have a chance to play. So when it comes to rotations of tight ends, backs, wide outs, anything that might happen up front, the reality is what we try to do is give eyes opportunities where they have some part of the game plan in which they can be a part of. Therefore, I always felt and so did obviously coach Smith, right? As former players, you feel like, Hey, we're part of this. Here's our plan. Here's our part of it. And then obviously if there's issues that come up and you have to play more because of whatever, then you're obviously aware of that. But again, when it comes to rotations and usage and time, it's more about flow of game, obviously how the plays are called. And then we kind of go from there. But the reality when you look at it is you want guys to understand on game day, everybody's involved and everybody has a chance to not only participate, but to contribute. And I think that's what we're trying to do. And when you look at it, that just depends upon usage and who gets a chance to carry the ball or catch the ball or even play. All right. We want to give everybody an opportunity to go compete. I guess let me draw that down with CP specifically. He only gets five carries. And I know he lines up everywhere, but with some of that, just him still getting ramped back up with the short week or I'm just trying to understand like, I guess, kind of the theory of him going forward. Yeah, I think for us, you know, CP or any of those backs, the way the game was being played out to, right? You had a situation where, again, I always go back to the fact that you can't stay on the field on third down. You limit your opportunities of drives and plays. Now you get two minute situations, end of game before half, those plays add up. But in time, a first, second down in the first, second and third quarter and fourth quarter in which are not situational. Those dictate the amount of reps or plays anybody's going to get. So I think at times when, you know, if you're looking at a CP or anybody else that has a usage that is high or low, sometimes it is dependent upon how the game is being played. Nothing was set out to say, all right, CP going, getting five here, just seeing how the game flow is going. End up being that situation. How have you seen Drake come on in growth throughout the course of the season? Yeah, that's a good question. I think with Drake, first and foremost with the rookie coming in, it's, you always, you get the physical part because that's why you drafted them, right? But the mental part is where you always want to see where guys are at. Again, what we ask guys on offense to do, they're a part of, not just the pass game at wide up, but they're part of the run game. And you can see Drake taking that professionalism in the meeting rooms and trying to bring it to the practice and then carrying it forward to the game. Just like, you know, all the young guys that we have, that's always part of the maturation process. If it's Drake or it's Algier or any of the young guys that we have on the roster or you want to see how they're able to grow through the season and grow in the meeting room and then be able to bring to the practice field that same kind of intensity mentally. And then on Sundays, how they show up physically. And so we're right. There's like two weeks left from the college season plus bowls, right? So for some of these younger guys, right? They're all of a sudden, their clocks are different. We essentially have a lot of football left here. And so that's also part of, you know, watching the young guys and seeing how they're doing mentally and physically. Um, but all those guys have taken the task of being a professional. And that means a lot to them. And that's why they're here. And so you'd like to see it and they're doing a good job of that. I feel the void of the ladder, not at all. I keep staring at the chair and it's just not, this is, no, you're right. You got to go to the helmet here on Sunday. So you guys are ready to go. No, no one wants to give anyone that would go very badly. Come on now. Yeah. Yeah, I would say that. I think, I think when you think about deep balls, right? Let's just get somewhat technical here for a second from the quarterback spot, right? So you drop back. Let's say it's not a play action. Let's say you got your eyes down the field. Okay. Now you have to decide, right? How you're going to hold your eyes in that post safety, right? Within a few seconds, then you have to, once you hold that post safety, then you have to realize, okay, did that guy win? What I mean by win is, is he even or is he clearly by the guy? If that is now all within that same timeframe, you have to determine what we say in the quarterback room is club selection, right? What type of flight are you going to put on that ball? So all those things need to be manufactured within a short amount of time. Let's say the corner's on top. You're very committed to making that throw. You're not obviously going to lead them anymore, right? The corner's over the top. So now you have to do a different club selection and potentially back shoulder what you see. A lot of successful deep ball quarterbacks throw. And again, I think it all goes back to your spatial awareness, your ability to understand space and time. And then without really thinking about it, be able to project your arm to throw a certain kind of ball. And so when you see the really good deep ball throwers in this league, it's not just the perfect pregame pat and go where it's 45 yards dropping right off the table like, let me date myself, like Jeff Blake, the Carl Pickens with the Bengals. You just don't see it like that as often anymore. Corners have gotten really good playing it. And so therefore it's made quarterbacks way more of artists instead of robots of how to throw it, right? You got to paint it differently. You got to be able to put something on it differently. You might have to drive it or put more air on it or back shoulder it. But there is an art to it. It's just not a science. You can go out, right? I've got a 12-year-old, 13-year-old, and you can set up bucket out there 40 yards away and he can hit it. But the reality is there's, that's not how it's done, right? You have to factor in for defense. You have to factor in what's around your feet. And also what your eyes are. So, yeah, to answer this question in a long about way, there is an innate ability to throw the ball deep for a quarterback. And it always doesn't mean just because you might let that ball go exactly how you want it to, that doesn't guarantee a completion, right? But I think those guys have a great feel, right? All, I think all great deep ball throwers have a feel. It's not perfectly how it's drawn up on the paper or maybe how you jog through it or how it happens in practice.  And so therefore, I think it's the understanding of spatial awareness, time, and speed that allow those guys to be really good throwers of the ball that goes down the field. And so it's a harder thing to teach. I'm not saying it's not a learned thing at some point, but I do think guys innately have the ability to understand that. And when you do, right, you don't want to overcoach it. And when guys struggle with it, right, you want to just build up their confidence, but more importantly, you want to get those throws as many times as possible. But again, it's still one of those things where it's definitely a harder to learn trait than most anything at that position when you're trying to push the ball down the field like that. Where does Marcus fall in that sort of innate scale? Yeah, he's got great spatial awareness. You wouldn't, he wouldn't be the runner or some of the plays that he makes where he steps up and sees it right out of the really the peripheral of his vision to make some of those throws. And again, when you watch him make some of those placement throws and they're all completed, no, and I would argue that it's a low percentage throw anyways, right? That's historical data, I'll tell you that. But giving your guy an opportunity and a chance is what you hear a lot of guys talk about, specifically when you've got a bigger receiver, right? It's about, hey, let him give an opportunity, a 50-50 chance. Hopefully that plays in our favor. When we say 50-50, that's a jump ball kind of mentality, knowing that their guy is not looking and our guy obviously is. But I would say for him, just like any decision, right, there's times where he understands the spatial awareness and makes those type of throws and maybe they're on the same page, maybe they're not, but overall, I think he has a good understanding of what is needed in terms of what kind of ball is needed to be thrown. Not perfect nor anybody is, but I do think he has that awareness to understand that. The quarterback reads that this needs to be that back shoulder throw is just at that point, the responsibility becomes the receivers to understand that that's where the ball is going and make that adjustment. Is there I think it's more almost about it's the same page type mentality. Yeah, I think it's just a reaction to the ball. Yeah. And I think one of those things is I've been around when I was a player, specifically receivers who look for the back shoulder. Well, what happens when you look, they look, right? So now the back shoulder becomes a contested. I think the art of the back shoulder throw is more about the receiver understanding that, hey, where is this guy in relation to where this ball needs to be thrown, but not giving it away too soon. But also without seeing it being on the same page of the quarterback that, hey, this is probably the type of ball because the late eyes for the receiver in terms of when he looks ultimately can make or break the completion or not.  So it is, it is a on the same page in sync body language and everything that you develop over time. I don't think it's just something, hey, the guy comes off the street and you're going to be able to throw it to him no matter what. I do think that's something that's choreographed over a period of time that only comes really with reps. Boy, that was, that might have gone nowhere really fast. Yeah, no doubt. Look, bars low, appreciate it. Absolutely. You're going to write out well this week. I'll show you the sheet if you will. Well, yeah, I mean, you say, obviously, some of that is a name, right? But how much, like, and you kind of hinted at it, how much it can actually be coached? Or is it like, you can, I get to a certain level without it being there. Look, I'm not going to sit up here as you guys know for a little bit. Like I'm no quarterback guru. I'm not, don't have all the answers. But I'll say this, I will use my experience being around, not that I'm the most experienced compared to other guys, obviously more experienced than me. You've been in this league a long time. My experience with certain quarterbacks and then put myself in there. The reality is there are a, you can train it to a certain degree. But then think about this, right? Within less than three seconds on any pass, really, right? You have to understand space, time and awareness in terms of what's around you. And then you have to make that kind of throw. Not every throw is 100 miles an hour on the outside of the black, right? For a pitcher to seem that ball in there. Some, right, got to be a changeup just because you have to shape a ball. And so when it comes to that type of throw, again, I think through experience, there's a part that can be learned. The reality is a lot of it, the majority of it has to be your innate ability to understand that. You can train it. If you have that ability a little bit, but the reality is if you don't have that awareness or spatial awareness, you're not just all of a sudden going to be able to, it's the way I feel about this, right? Like you're an eighth grader and you can dunk. What are the chances you're working on that 15 foot jump shot? Probably not high, right? You're probably going to dunk on everybody you get a chance to, right? Same way I feel about quarterbacks at times that have a cannon for an arm. The reality is they can probably wait a split second longer because their RPMs are just higher than everybody else. So therefore, right, even though they're not anticipating it, the ball comes out with such velocity. They get away with it. So then working on that touch pass or more importantly, the anticipatory anticipate throw where the ball just comes out a little early. Why? When they, their whole life, they've been able to wait. So it's the same thing with this deep ball, right? I think guys who've worked it and worked and working to have an understanding of it, they can do it. Guys who are late to the party, it's a lot harder for them. Third down wasn't that bad. Well, the problem was we had four, third and ones. That's the problem. Anything past third and one, I think they only had one conversion. And we were like 40%, I think, but our problem was they got to third and one and they converted four, third and ones and the percentage is not going to be good. But we've improved a lot in third down last week, a lot. Look at the run defense. When you looked at the run defense from the Carolina game, did you think that's immediately fixable or did you think we've got bigger problems than I would like to have in week 10? No, they're fixable. The other thing is that don't forget they ran how many times? 47. And that little bubble pass went down as a run. That's not a pass. I was a 40 yard basically run because of a lateral. So, you know, they averaged just right around a little over four yards of carry, which is still too much. We don't want that. We want to be in the threes. But there was really maybe two plays, two run plays. One was coming out. And then one other one that I thought we just they were fixable. We just we've made some bad. We didn't play them well enough.  So I didn't I didn't walk out of there thinking, oh, no, we got no chance here. A couple plays that we made, even the bubble play, we just got play it better. I mean, there's no sense in that thing going for 40 yards and we end up knocking each other off down at the end. So but that was what you're talking about last week. We have a two explosive plays. They were explosive. That's a 40 yarder. And I think a little slant that we didn't tackle end up being a 30 some yarder. Those are two explosive plays. They led to 10 points. You're talking about a game. We really gave up 22 points. I'm not really thinking too much about the last field goal. Well, even if you hold the one if you hold them to 15 points or something and and just take away those two explosives in half of it, you're talking about a 280 yard game with 15 points, which we do. But we gave them up. I can't sit here and say, you know, feel great because we gave them up. We just got to quit. We did it against the chargers that was in man coverage. These two were actually in his own coverage. We just got to fix those things. We just can't. We got to fix those things. You know, a real mobile quarterback at least kind of like fields. Maybe maybe since Conatason in week one, maybe, but obviously it's such a different deal. We haven't seen anybody like this guy. Yeah. How do you prep for that? You just got to you got to keep him in. I mean, he's I mean, the guy's got seven hundred and some yards as a quarterback, one on the ball and some of our design runs, some of our zone read runs. But there's a lot of them to third down. He drops back to pass and takes off against 25 or something.   You got to play those well. A lot of assignment football this week. We've got to be very detailed in our assignments and we've got to be very detailed in our pass rush too. You just can't just fly up the field. This isn't like Brady or Manning or somebody like that's gonna sit there in the pocket all day and gonna be a statue. He's not he's gone. Take off and the problem with him too is not only when he takes off means 230 pound guy that can run the ball. I mean, probably would be a good running back feels a running back. I mean, he breaks tackles and and he's tough to bring down.  He's run over some people on the goal line and then some stuff. I mean, he's good. He's great athlete, great athlete. So we just got to do a good job of assignment football and keeping him in the pocket in the passing game and being able to play him in the run. Is that cold commit presents? He's been productive here lately. He's just a good tight end. I mean, the guys have been very productive down in the red area. I think he's kind of become little feels kind of main target type deal.  OK, so you got you got a quarterback that can run. You got a running back who I think the world of I think I've always admired Montgomery the way he plays the physicalness of him the running back. I know the other guy went on IR, but those two guys together, but Montgomery there's no fall off. I thought he was the best back anyhow. And so you got you got this running attack. And sometimes that running attack and lends to your plan to run and all of a sudden somebody's open eyes a tight end or even a receiver or whatever. That's always a tough, tough deal.  Well, if you double somebody, you're not going to be as good against the run, you know, so it's just they kind of go to me, they go hand in hand. Sometimes the running game sets up fast. Sometimes the passing game sets up the run. In this case, you know, you got to be he can get open because the guys are playing to run so hard linebackers and stuff like that. And then all of a sudden tight ends open.  Comparison maybe a little bit of heresy around here. But do you see any Michael Beck in the way fields played in the last month? Bigger, you know, he's a bigger, more physical dude and different style. But you would say similar in some ways because of his ability to run. Vic was a different slashy runner to me, you know, when he played he could stop on a dime turn, spin, go the other direction. And where Justin is a little more once he just hits it, he can hit it now. He can, they're probably the same speed. I don't know what, you know, 40 forget 40 times. This guy's just more once he gets the corner.  And once Kaepernick got the corner, I mean, he looked like a 400 meter Olympic guy. I mean, he could go and fields can go. Vic was such so much more like Baltimore's guy, you know, just that slashy stop turn. This guy doesn't really try to do that. He's going to try to just outrun you and beat you. I'm not saying he can't do it. I just I'm watching most of the film. He's just outrun people. Even though their styles may not be exactly the same, just having athletic quarterbacks that you guys have faced since the summer during practice. Does that help you at all?  Just the yeah. And the same thing with Des, you know, Ritter is a pretty athletic guy who at Cincinnati did a lot of stuff. It certainly helps. It's a lot easier than like when we were in New England getting ready to play Michael Vic. And we got Tom over there in Castle as our quarterbacks going, hey, can you run some? Can you kind of scramble here? No. So it certainly helps with going against Marcus and going against Ridd. I mean, those guys have done this. Ridd gives us a great look in practice. Yeah, they I wouldn't compare anybody like that. But but at least they've run a system that they kind of know what the system's like. And they've they've helped us and done a good job on the on the squad practice squad down there. Where does Grady Jarr rank among the interior defensive linemen that you've had? In terms of the volume, you feel comfortable playing him the amount of snacks per game?  As he gets older, but he's I mean, he's he's handling it doing well. It's just, you know, you always worry about the length of the season and stuff like that. And but he ranks right up there. I, you know, most of the guys that I've played inside there in his position probably haven't played as many places he has. You know, Holody not. I mean, most of those guys were really big dudes now. Holody not events will fork. I'm talking about interior guys, not like guys on the outside. Jarrell Casey, similar in some ways at Tennessee, kind of similar style guy, two different dudes, but kind of similar.  I know we got to do, we got to monitor it sometimes.  He's he's more than just a productive guy. He's he's our leader. Really, two years you've been here, is there something that when you before you work with him that you kind of say, wow, okay, that's kind of different. That's kind of special. Me and if I was somewhere else looking at Grady, I probably couldn't tell you much about him because I never watched him very much. I mean, I knew who he was. You always know who everybody is. I knew who Aaron Donald is. I mean, but I don't really sit and study Aaron Donald because I'm never watching that side of the ball. Other than I'm watching him when he's when I get film on him playing against somebody that we're gonna play against and I'll look and say, do we have anybody that can do some of the stuff that he does, stuff like that. But I, you know, there's just so much more to Jarrett than just football player. I mean, he's just quality guy the way he practices. I mean, I don't know how I'm sure Aaron Donald practice was hard, but I don't know. I don't know if he's a hardened worker in practice or if he gets days off. I don't know anything about him other than he's a heck of a football player. Grady, I know, I see him every day and I watch him and I watch the way he practices, the way he studies, the way he prepares. That's why I speak so highly of him, you know? Gerald Casey was that same kind of guy. But some of the other guys that I've kind of had in the interior have all been kind of big dudes. Brandon Williams, Bullfork, Halody, those guys didn't take as many snaps because, I mean, they're 340 pounds or more. When you got him, was there something that you said? Oh, well, I didn't make you say it. You saw him, but you didn't know. Right, I didn't know. When you started working with him, was there a person that you're like, oh, wow, this is maybe a little different? Just the way he prepared and the way he came in and the way he showed up and the way, you know, when you become a vet, sometimes those guys aren't always here in all the off season or something like that. It's never been his case. He shows up for everything like he's a rookie. So I was impressed with him from the day, really, the day I met him.


I'm going to give you a really brief tour of ENCODE. I'd like to start off by letting you know our objectives for this. We'd like to tell you something about ENCODE and roadmap epigenomics so that you can learn about how to use it in your work. We'd also like to hear from everybody what are ways we can increase different projects more useful, either at the interface level or in the way that we're actually doing the stuff. I'd also like to thank my colleagues in ENCODE. You can see an ENCODE consortium photo on the bottom and also two of my program colleagues, Elise Finegold has been within ENCODE since its inception. So ENCODE is the encyclopedia of DNA elements. And the goal of the project is to identify all of the functional elements in the genome. This is, of course, an aspirational goal. There's no way to actually know whether this is complete or how complete it is. And we're also trying to want to make this resource freely available to the community. This is a major portion, a major idea behind the project. And we're hoping that people can use it in studies of disease and studies of gene regulation. And ENCODE has built on decades of research in gene regulation. What we've done is to take assays that have been used for many, many years to study gene regulation and look at the mechanism of gene regulation and either use other people's versions of genome-wide assays or developed our own to apply these assays to look at the whole genome. Since these assays are mechanistically linked to gene regulation, we and other projects are using them to reverse engineer the function of the genome. We're trying to determine where there are genes, the transcripts that come from those genes, and also the regulatory elements that control the action of those genes. So one important goal for NHGRI, an important goal for ENCODE, is to understand the whole genome. Today, I'm going to focus on the non-coding portions of the genome because we think it's relatively understudied. And bulk studies of the genome, for instance, GWAS studies, find that most of the associations are in non-coding regions of the genome. Also, if you look at individual gene studies, you can find genes like Fragile X and Mandelian Disorder where the known variant is a non-coding variant that accounts for almost all of the heritability and even polygenic diseases like ALS, where the variant that accounts for the largest known chunk of heritability is a non-coding variant. So the idea of how ENCODE might help people is if we look for variants, the way we understand them is to put them in context. We associate them with things like maps or drawings. And ENCODE is trying to make those maps richer. So here's a cartoon on the slide showing a variant that's been associated with allergy and asthma. And you can see the arrow pointing to the SNP and showing where it is in its genome context. And that's a great start. But what we can do with ENCODE is we can add different biochemical assays from genome-wide. And from this we can see that it appears that this variant lies within what could be a regulatory region. So that's one additional piece of information that you get. It turns out that this regulatory region is especially prominent in a particular cell type. So that's another piece of information that you could get from ENCODE. This regulatory, this candidate regulatory element lies within a gene. But what you can learn from ENCODE is you can make a prediction of what gene it might work with. And what's predicted is that it works with these neighboring genes. And I'm showing you this example because this locus has been extensively studied in the mouse where it's well known that in fact this is a locus control region that regulates those neighboring genes. But you could make this prediction from ENCODE human data. That's how that works. So you probably heard me say a lot about prediction and ENCODE can tell you that you might be able to figure out things. Primary use for ENCODE is hypothesis generation, I would say. And people are using ENCODE to go from associated variants to what might be causal variants. They're using ENCODE to say from associated variants might be what might be the target cell type that the variant works in because many diseases affect multiple cell types. You might ask from a target variant, what are the regulatory regions? What are the upstream regulatory factors that are working to control that gene? And you might also be using ENCODE to make predictions about how that candidate regulatory element is working. And at the bottom of the slide, the focus of what a lot of you'll hear today is about using germline genetic studies. But I would point out that if you have an epigenomic cohort, ENCODE should work well with that. If you work on epigenomics, then there are additional caveats that one would need to apply. And also this works quite well with somatic variants. Again, there are additional caveats that one would have to apply. So we think ENCODE is quite useful. We see it being used in a lot of different ways. And we maintain on our portal a list of publications that have used ENCODE data. And ENCODE has been in a number of talks from the sessions at this ASHD meeting as well. It's been in over a thousand papers from the community. That means people that are using ENCODE data but don't have ENCODE funding. And a large fraction of these, about one third of them are in human disease. So I think that attests to the translational value of the resource. So ENCODE has released thousands of data sets and they're shared freely. They're available through the ENCODE portal, ENCODEproject.org. There's no login or controlled access required. They're available to everybody. We're also releasing software that we've developed and sharing software that our colleagues outside of ENCODE have developed but we've found to be useful. We're working really hard to increase data interoperability. We're working for instance with roadmap epigenomics and other IHEC projects to try and standardize our interfaces and data. And I'd like to say a little bit about IHEC, the International Human Epigenome Consortium. And CODE is one of the members of IHEC. You'll also hear from roadmap next which is the IHEC member. And IHEC has its own data portal. Again, these slides are shared so you don't need to write down the URLs now but I'd encourage you to go see their portal and see the data from other projects such as the Canadian projects, Blueprint and Deep and so forth. And lastly, again, I don't expect anybody to be writing this down or sharing the slides but there are a lot of different ways to access ENCODE. There are a number of useful URLs here. Again, the portal is ENCODEproject.org. We have tutorials on ENCODE portal. We also have tutorials available at the NHGRI website, genome.gov. There are links to get to IHEC resources as well. And you can also join the ENCODE mailing list if you wish to hear the latest updates.
