OK. Can everybody see the slides now without irritating hip hop? Yes. All right. Yes, I can see it. Awesome. Good. Let's get this going, then. Welcome, everyone, and hopefully kicked. Yeah. Excellent. That seems to work. Yay. That's great. Somebody's going to be aggressively kicking, because I think that guy will keep coming back. So now let you get the hang of it. So let's get this going quickly before it comes back. ODF. Everybody knows what ODF is, Open Document Format, State of the Union, Quick Recap on. Thank you, man. Good. Back to the slides. Where are they? Here. ODF. And how did we get there? And where are we going? Quick introduction, who I am. My name is Thorsten Behrens. I'm working for CIB since 2015, built the liberal office team there. I'm actually one of those naughty people who were founding TDF liberal office. And I'm also on the TDF board. I've been working with liberal office and the predecessor open office as an engineer since 2001. And as a person, I'm a hacker computer scientist. I've been fighting for open source. Ah, what a relief. I think this is going to be the theme of this talk. So at the very least we can say it was an entertaining session, maybe not because of me. So very quick work through history of ODF. How did we get here? And what are we doing? The deep past. It all started with a number of great things with Sun Microsystems. Rest in Peace was a great company. The inaugural TC meeting there was some inside Sun. There was already contacts through ASIS for other standards. So just people were just using that inaugural to see meeting pretty fast track in 2002. So let me continue. So why do people do that? Well, actually back in the day before Sun, a study version said that XML is cool and they wanted to get rid of the binary file format. So they were pushing towards a native XML file format. And so that's where it all flew from. Then it was run relatively quickly, ODF 1.0 in 2005, 1.1. 2007. So basically someone joins quite regularly and they start sharing a video of. Yes. Sorry, can people still hear me and see my slides? Yes, we can hear you. Things are kind of fine now. Oh, I just please tell me somebody's not going to spawn up. Okay. Let me just continue. So right. And people please poke me because I can't see both slides and the room at the same time. Something goes wrong. Yeah, let me know. So just speak up and poke me. I will just continue meanwhile. You'll figure out what to do. So what you see is there was relatively quick progress in the first five years. And then it slowed down with ODF 1.2 ratified in 2011 and advanced to ISO standard in 2015. And after that, well, you can guess it correlates with the sale of selling of some microsystems and the fork. So what still happened was the chat hurting of 1.1.2 that was mostly helped with by IBM. And then there was lots of activity, but mostly inside areas like change tracking. There was advanced document collaboration subcommittee, which had three competing drafts done in succession. Some of them a great deal of time went into that. It's actually currently dormant. Nothing is going on here. So we're going to go back to the main stage. 2015-2016 work shifted back to the main TC, working on so-called ODF Next, which is now officially ODF 1.3. But back then there was no clear targets, really no funding, no focus. And so 2015, there was this thinking, where I'll be going? Where is this heading? There were a number of few hundreds of issues that were targeted 1.3. There was this problem. People didn't want to close issues or shift them. And the focus then shifted to standardizing pretty much existing practice. So rather not have this Star Trek future, everything is wonderful, you can render everything, every document in this world from every source, but rather what is actually implemented in software with this provably working and catching up with those implementations out there in the field. There was some great triage. Stole that from Michael Stahl 2015-2016, but more than a year when actually some focus went back into the standardization, something that was obviously broken already in one of the two earlier. Let's fix that for the next version, feature with an implementation. So it's implemented in, I don't know, Microsoft Office or LibreOffice or OpenOffice or AbbeyWord. Great, let's take it as well. Great idea, but no funding, no one implementing it. Okay, let's call it later. And everything else, Star Trek Future, great plans of grant intellects. Okay, let's close it and come back when you've got funding and have it implemented. And also closing by that, by reviewing pretty much every issue, closing a metric ton of duplicates.  So the problem was obviously no more big players, no more easy way to get people spending time on something that is very, very boring, which is some TC work, which is lots of admin overhead, lots of rat type, lots of process, very little hacking. So how to resolve that conundrum? Well, obviously we can try with community that was the partial success with, for example, Regina Henschel, one of the core contributors to the ODF 1.3 standard and doing it all as a volunteer. And so there was like a number of names in the TC, Horst van den Erver and Andreas from I think University of Waterloo were doing that on spare time or partially spare time, but as I said, it's rather boring work. So what TDF came up with, initial idea again from Regina was to put some money there and hoping that would help fixing that, making progress. So the TDF was in 2018 getting some funds approved and trusting those funds with public software CIC and UK Charitable Company, Charitable or Community Interest Corporation actually. So it's a non-profit entity chartered to attract funding for continuing the ODF TC work and the editing. And it was successful. So the COSM project attracted funding from Microsoft CIB and Collabora and was matching that with funding from TDF. So in the end, we got two editors and a bit of development work for the ODF toolkit funded to get 1.3 implemented, edited, heard it through the standardization process with the initial goals of 1.3 actual review work starting April 2019 committee draft later in 2019 and finished standard by end of 2019, which as you might have seen did not quite work out like that. So the current status is right now the initial funds have all been spent we're kind of waiting for 1.3 to happen which has been almost done since pretty much the beginning of this year.  So that's not much actual work going on just lots of busy work and spinning of wheels. So the hope is to have it finally done or finally approved and ratified as an OASIS standard by the end of this year. So it's one year delay mostly due to editorial errors and process errors and I will get to that in a moment. So TDF has approved follow-up funding for ODF 1.4 and improvements in the editorial workflow which are obviously necessary. So that's 10K new budget also again for matching funding so again the call goes out to companies, corporations, also perhaps governments who are using and benefiting from ODF to perhaps ship in a little bit of money TDF then happily matches that. Right, and the editorial workflow so it's essentially lots of manual work very error-prone nobody did that in 10 years so even people who did that in the past knowledge has been a bit rusty tools have changed it's all kind of creaky and leaky so the modern way to attract that is like have some continuous integration workflow there and I think that's achievable. Beyond that, beyond chipping and funds and getting your funds matched by TDF what else can you do to help ODF? So well of course work on the standard so if you're a TDF member you can join the ODFTC and work there otherwise that's quite some price tag to that but if you're a member TDF happily gets you there so of course that needs a bit of time I think the minimum is probably an hour or two per week to be able to read the mails and attend the calls but likely more of course you can also propose features do bug fixes and do QA work on LibreOffice and other ODF processing applications in OASIS itself join other TC's or OASIS projects do lobbying work tell your local MP or lobby inside your company that ODF is a great standard and of course you can donate to TDF which helps funding projects like COSM and also helps towards paying the OASIS fees the membership fees a bit a bit more details what's happening so well updated timeline as I said committee draft was out committee draft one was out in September 2019 so there's some kind of waterfall diagram and standard committee so you first draft something and then you think as a committee well it's done then you call the committee draft which then goes through some public review where you can have other people point out the obvious mistakes then you can get yourself upgraded to committee specification and the committee specification which has the stamp of approval then the TC says well we're done which then goes out for another public review and a public vote by all TC members and then finally becomes an OASIS standard so yeah so we get stuck pretty much at the very beginning of that process there were issues found omissions problems in the production cycle several attempts to fix that there was an initial vote for committees back in 2019 but then more errors were found and so we have a committee spec O2 about ready to vote on now so yeah about one year late and the hope is if nothing else goes wrong that we get it OASIS standard end of this year what is missing for that should okay so if there's any questions just fire away otherwise I will just keep talking right end of the year so the next step after this yes this out is state of use so everybody out there or if it's something that's an ODIF toolkit would be great to get your signed statement of use that you have implements and are very happy with ODIF 13 and of those products between three of them to advance to the next step in the standardization process you can also do marketing around ODIF the adoption TC as we open this ODIF project to tell you tell you MP tell your government to lobby around open data and open government go for initiatives around open standards just to state that here standard is publicly accessible so no nothing hidden no NDA you need to sign it's like unencumbered you can implement the standard you don't have to pay patent royalties and the actual process of standardization is open travel it's a smoke toilet room and only special people are admitted so everyone can join really given the time I made a quick walkthrough the development projects related to ODIF that happened there in the past also largely done by TEP but not exclusively ODIF validation which was one of the very first steps to get something that perhaps in the end in next year 2021 with the editorial workflow we will become a culmination that is from code to standard to written approved standard ideally there should be no losses so when when you start hacking on something and you change the file format in the office that should ultimately end up in a change or in an update or at least in a proposal to change the standard and not accidentally get lost because nobody realized so what's in place now is a way to have every unit test that writes ODIF files have the ODIF and ODIF validation to run over that and the same is true for a weekly crash testing run that essentially loads and saves possible documents we can get access to in all the back trackers of a number of projects so with that it's not impossible but it's kind of unlikely at least if you adhere to processes and write unit tests for your changes that we detect when you change when you modify the way liberal office writes ODIF so if you notice that unit test breaks you have to change the schema changes to the schema will get flagged at the latest when a release happens and then we can write a proposal to the ODIFTC for a change and those get tracked in JIRA so at least it's not lost there and then hopefully it gets written into the next standard and also the fact that we want to automate the spec writing so ideally when you do a change that affects the ODIF format you change the schema and you give us a little bit perhaps in the commit message a little bit of prose that describes what you're doing there that then the ODIFTC editors can use to convert that into something that can put into the standard doesn't have to be standardies just a lay person description of what this is doing is enough to get this started another number of things like improved layer support there was from the German prototype fund some support for the ODIF toolkit library there was from the German federal computer security they funded open PGP support for ODIF it's also part of ODIF103 the necessary amendments and the last one was ODIF103 converting all the extension namespace that had accumulated over some oldest one was more than 13, 14 years old still during open office times convert all those let's extend ODIF and at some stage we will roll it into the standard features roll this back into the main or ODIF namespace, XML namespace which was quite a bit of work but that's happened that's included in ODIF70 with necessary back quotes to the older maintained version so that at least we can read that you write ODIF toolkit interesting story there initially at the Apache foundation and TDIF has inherited that from Apache and it's now maintained in the document foundation GitHub repository and we're also TDIF is also contributing and helping and it's an essential part of ODIF and also the editorial workflow and the validation it includes the ODIF validator we're using to make sure we detect any changes bit of marketing blurb like best stand alone for ODIF plus some very very nice tools that is a prototype fund sponsored for decomposing a document into changes and operations what's up next ODIF next which is possibly ODIF 1.4 perhaps ODIF 2.0 at some stage so not necessarily all of those ODIF next issues going to be 1.4 quite a bit more to file from the wiki page that has the ODIF liberal office ODIF extensions all of that needs to be rolled into the schema I mentioned that gets used by the unit test validation and perhaps more from the D past that we have not detected yet and finally the editorial workflows that some something that has to happen next year as well right now the TC already has a repository on github it's already as much as possible working from there for producing the standard so when you need to change the standard ideally you just submit a pull request what's missing is a completely fully entered and automated pipeline to get the schema that's planned for next year yes and perhaps we can track other OASIS projects to follow us there to adopt that as well and then perhaps contribute to the automation effort there and keep that going it's it's not unheard of I mean for web standards it's pretty standard to do it like that meanwhile it's just for this relatively heavy weight standard writing that is at OASIS and that ISO in particular it's kind of trailblazing here so how is that it's working well and attracting others to follow that great so that's the end of the 30 minutes I'm glad no further interruptions from funny videos thanks for your attention thanks to my employer for having me spend time on great things like LibreOffice and ODEF and if there's any questions I don't know if we have a few minutes left I have one question should how about deprecations of existing properties or elements anything concrete you have in mind just general workflow what would we do is the same like you would add new things to ODEF or for example what I have in mind is like gradients maybe there are some properties that aren't needed for example anymore or I don't think we should include them so for many things in ODEF are not mandated so the wording of the standard is quite often not verbatim but the essence is optional so there's very few things that are required so you don't need to be able to correctly display every single element and attribute in the standard because the rendering is not standardized so as long as you're not crashing by reading such a file you're free to ignore it whether this is good user experience whether this is making your friends when somebody loads a file from 10 years ago and something is missing that's a different question so as such it's I think it's probably unless you have a concrete proposal where something is absolutely required by the standard and it's a burden to keep that maintained on our side and support it I don't think it's a problem worth fixing because we can simply decide at some stage to deprecate something on our implementation side and say well here is some loaded in 64 and then save it as 0 and save it as 1.3 and you're going to be fine and in five years we're not going to support this attribute anymore just to answer the question yes so I think it's not a question for ODF it's a question for let's say liberal office product I mean if there is an idea if we should deprecate some some standardized features I mean we did something similar for the I believe for the way that writers are storing tables like nested tables so that's the sub table versus I think joining rows and columns and there was a change I believe in ODF 1.2 where it was just a different table model introduced so there's a history of actually throwing something out of the standard but adding new features and then henceforth using that from the software another example would be the lists for which there were two different presentations in ODF 1.1 and one of them was deprecated in ODF 1.2 because they just both allowed to do the same thing which is kind of pointless and the second one was only implemented by K-Office version 1 did we clean that up? that mess up I think we did yeah it might even be possible that we have an issue to actually make up so it's definitely deprecated I'm sure of that for other questions or perhaps suggestions great things we should do in ODF land just in case something comes up I'm on ISE and telegram and there's some email address on the first slide so just feel free to poke me and with that I'd say we'll close this session six minutes late thanks so much again and enjoy the conference, take care bye


My name is Jordan Hausman. I'm a senior airman and I work for Aerospace Ground Equipment. I really joined to be like a mechanic and whenever I got into this career field really what you do is pretty much diesel engines. So what we do is we work on all the equipment that is used on the jets. So like all of our generators, conditioners, all of our heaters, stuff like that. All the crew chiefs that use our equipment to work on the jets to put them back up in the air. We have three sections. One drives the flight line which delivers all of our equipment to the jets. And then the other two are maintenance and inspections. Maintenance does all the heavy maintenance like if anything breaks or anything happens to go wrong. And then our inspection shop pretty much does preventative maintenance like oil changes, filters. Without ground power it wouldn't have air power so all the crew chiefs use our equipment to simulate stuff that would happen in the air just in case like if something went wrong they could do it on the ground and see if they could fix it. In our career field what makes me the most proud would be finding something that nobody else could figure out and fixing it and then seeing it go back out on the line to be used.


Another one What's up money geeks? Mr. V here welcome to another video guys. So into this video. We are going to talk about trading shiba on Weibo so the we will platform Has been opening to cryptocurrency. They started with we just ethereum and bitcoin like coin Not have expanded they have doge coin in there And then now they're starting to bring in shiba some of these meme stocks and the reason why they are Expanding into these meme stocks is because people treat them More often than they do Bitcoin ethereum and they make a lot of money from the fees that they charge From these different cryptos is different meme crypto. So So we both opening up. I had got an invite from them to try it out So we're gonna go out there buy some Shiba and I don't plan on buying and selling so I'm just gonna do the buy here and see if it feels See how long it takes for me to get Phil and then I'll just hang on to it I'm probably gonna spend like a hundred bucks and see and just hold it Hopefully it turns into ten million dollars. So that's what we're going to talk about into this video But before we get to the guys if you're new to the channel, we took about how to earn money How to save money how to invest and build wealth So that's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button any notification belt So you don't miss out on new content. So again with Cryptocurrency going crazy. You have meme crystal crypto currencies like dogecoin that just went crazy But other cryptocurrencies like Cardona Ethereum Bitcoin like coin they're doing great. This means these meme cryptos are Something that is just picking up as well. So I'm pretty sure the reason why we will is opening up You see coin base is also opening up as well as Robinhood is because there's so much money to be made Somebody would buy, you know, let's say she bear for 25 bucks or buy those coin They'll can put 500 bucks in there Compared to if you were really investing they can easily lose 500 and not worry and that 500 can easily turn into 5000 and make them a lot of money. So This is jump right here. Again, this is from Weibo. You can see here their cryptocurrency And you can start with as as low as one dollar to get you started So like coin Bitcoin Cardona, this is one that I think as when this thing pulled back I'm gonna I'm gonna buy some cardona because it's been making some good moves Out there. So again, if you don't really have Weibo, I'm gonna put the links in the description below You can sign up and deposit five dollars to get free stocks just for doing that And then you can go out there and start trading cryptocurrency So you can trade it on your Mobile phone as well as on the web app. So today we're gonna be trading on the web app So this is she bar and we are ready to go. So I'm gonna show you guys How to trade or to buy she bear in this case, I'm just gonna buy it here on the Weibo platform So right now, where is it sitting at sitting at? What do you mean? How much is that my goodness? It's you have almost five five zeros before you get to a number So point zero zero zero zero zero seven four three So that's where it's currently trading at. So well, let's let's let's place an order here and see see how that works So we're gonna go here do new order And so right now we do let's say we can buy 10 million shares of Sheba again she bear as a crypto that was and it kind of started out Just after dogecoin went crazy. So people Some developers decided to create she bar and it's been picking up just like dogecoin So who knows is my translate into some good money someday. So Right now so we can divide that's a limit order at that price. We're sitting at four This is for 743 but why is he saying seven five four here? So it's do seven Three there we go. So if we do ten million shares Yes, do ten million shares of she bar at that price is gonna cost us seventy four dollars or so or some change So I just moved again Things just keep bouncing around So I'm gonna place my order here. I want to actually get filled. So I don't care if I get filled In our I'm just gonna I just want to get filled in this case. So our place my order. Let's see. It's right now 744 in my orders at seven Four three, so I wanted to drop back some and get me feel so let's place the order and see what happens I see We can okay So when you trade regularly on webo, you can click here and drag and move and move your your order But in this case with we With crypto you can't do it.  So what we can do is we can cancel this order. I want to get feel. I don't really care If I get feel at point 746 or point 745 I don't think it makes that much of a difference I'm putting 75 bucks in there. So I can live with that. So 746 now let's place 10 million. I see if it fills us. We haven't been filled yet So again, um, the only reason why I'm sitting here I'm like just you're trying to get this feel is because I want to see how long it takes to get filled Is you guys can see we've placed the order It's been like 45 seconds and we haven't been filled yet And so let's see how long it's gonna take and then that way you guys can also have an idea as to how long it takes to get feel Again, the crypto trades 24 seven So it shouldn't be anything like the market is closed because crypto trades 24 seven So 10 million shares of Sheba and we're still sitting here waiting To be to be filled. So I hope we can get feel here sooner than later that way we're not sitting here wasting time and Doing nothing. I want to get filled as soon as possible. I'm gonna give it another 30 seconds if it doesn't get filled we can wrap up the video But then I'll give you guys an update as to how long I find or when I finally got filled with My order so again, but it's very easy step for you to buy Sheba on on on the we will platform just place your order like you normally would do so choose the price You can do a limit price or you can do a market price Market price means fill now limit price means filled at my own Price and so you can you can actually set that up then once you do it You just all you have to do is just sit and wait Because I don't think that you can do anything else to try to get this thing to work. So Yeah, I'm gonna probably report back to you guys with a different video As to when this thing finally filled so again, I'm sitting right here watching My order it hasn't filled yet. So it I don't want to drag this thing forever But just to give you guys some context Sheba is another meme Cryptocurrency just like dogecoin and hopefully if we get the endorsement of Elon Musk or Something like Mark Cuban. You might see these things skyrocket to Maybe one cent or two cents or three cents and so buying 10 million Shares of are not even shares or 10 million million coins of Sheba That's probably if he goes to one cent I might make some money off of that if he goes to Let's say 50 cents. That would be insane. That would be crazy But I don't I don't see that happening anytime soon. It might be a while, but 75 bucks. I can risk that I would know no big risk. So I'm I'll do it again. I'm still looking right now On my screen here. I don't see anything. It's still sitting that it or there hasn't been filled So if you guys are trading Sheba on Weibo, just be aware of this that it takes quite a while to get filled So just so you guys know, but I don't they treat crypto on Weibo so I only buy and hold long term and majority of my cryptos are actually in Coinbase So this is gonna be a great experiment for me too. So again, I'm gonna keep you guys posted We how things go if I finally get filled we are like three minutes in and still nothing So I'm gonna wrap it up here if you're new to the channel We took about how to earn money how to save money how to invest and build wealth There's something that interests you go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell So you don't miss out on your content also guys if you're looking to to start trading or to start investing Weibo has their promotion where if you sign up and deposit $5 you get free stocks No cost to you links in the description below and as always guys, do you do diligence?  And I'm gonna do a follow-up video with my experience if I when I finally get filled So I'm gonna let you guys know that now talk to you later You


Who gon' bring it to the table? Boss talk. Who your girlfriend fave? Boss talk. We gon' do it how you want it. Boss talk. Yeah, everybody on it. Boss talk. Check it, check it, check it. It's a unique hustle. It's your boy, E.C.E.O., and I'm here with the lovely official, Ms. Jamaica. What's going on? Yeah, my dad, my dad. We're all gone. Hey, man. I'm feeling real fresh. Jamaica in the house. Hey, man. Jamaica in the house. Check it, man. Yeah. Save, man. I got a guest in here today, man. This is the second time coming on the show, man. I called him. I was like, man, what's up, man? Where you at, man? He was like, man, I'm out this time. You come back on the show, bro. Save, man. We got this brown in the building, man. Money, minds, ENT, man. What's the deal, man? I let your boy, man. What's good? What's going on, man? Shit. Chilling on the man. It's good to have you back in here, man. Yeah, it's good to be back. Save, man. Hey, man. When you left for last time, man, I remember you need coming on the show. You was working so fiercely, man. It was so much going on. Every time I look around, I was talking trash to everybody. I was like brown dropping stuff. All these other niggas, they ain't dropping nothing. He out working all these niggas and it went on for a while. And then all of a sudden it came to a screeching halt.  You know something wrong. I knew something was wrong.  Like a brown drop when ain't nobody else dropping. You know what I'm saying? It was almost like I was like, damn, he got his own video team and team or something because he'd be dropping all these other niggas like it's so hard. You know? So what happened? Where you been?  To where, you know what I'm saying? Somebody had came from behind me and choked me or whatever, you know, kind of mixed with my voice or whatever, man. So I just been chilling, man, let my voice get straight.  What's up, man?   You know what I'm saying? Like I will choke. You know what I'm saying? So like, I don't know what happened. You know what I'm saying? They, they, they, my voice got messed up or whatever. But it's been healing. But I'm going to get back right back on. You sound like your regular self. It's almost there. I'm going to turn it back on. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. We need it, man. To be honest. You know, I love doing this. So have you been writing? The most in the past. I'll write my music. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You just punch in. Yeah. I just come over something and just go on. Go ahead. Well, it makes time go by since you couldn't, you couldn't punch in because your voice was messed up. Well, like if I write, if my voice ain't, if it ain't coming out how I want it, I ain't going to want to do. Because like, you know what I'm saying? It's like if my hands hurt and I'm trying to draw and I'm lying squiggly, like they ain't coming out. I ain't going to want to do it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Man, since you've been here, man, we had so many people on the show. Thank you for coming when you did come, man. He came, he blessed the platform, man. I thank God for my people who came out when we didn't even have no followers. Right. Right. Now we're moving up a little bit more and more. Yeah, y'all turning up, man. But you came when it's organic. It was, it was, it's authentic, bro. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I appreciate that for real. That's all love, man. You know what I'm saying? That's what it's all about. Then I pick up the phone and call you. You answer. We talk about different things. You know what I'm saying? If I got a question about something, you're going to throw me the answer. That's what it's about, man. And that's stomp down. That's real. You know? I like that part. Like, even you sent me Fleetwood and I enjoyed that, man, I enjoyed it. That dude called me. He didn't stop calling me here lately, but he, you know Fleetwood, he wanted, man, you should see when he came. He had his daughter, they were traveling. It was dope, man. Yeah. Yeah. I enjoyed him, man. Okay. Yeah. He went all the way to Atlanta. You know, he's moving to Atlanta. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he went through, he had something with Goodymob, you know, and all of them. He had some music. Yeah. And then he told some stories. You didn't watch his episode, did you? I didn't see that one. Nah, man. I didn't even tell you. Kamala Harris was the one who helped him to stop, you know, going to prison and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, man. I thought that was dope. Yeah.  So what you think about things with this brown, you didn't get to interview him last time. What you got for him? No, no.  Yes, cause y'all never, cause y'all don't do it. It's like, if I don't do it, y'all don't do it. Okay. Well, what's up? So, Mr. Brown. Yeah. Mr. Brown. How did you get started in the music industry and how old were you when you got started in it? Oh, man. I started rapping since the first time. Man, I've been rapping since I was like 13. Wow. So that's how you get started?  Who influenced you at that time to get started? Man, I used to listen to like Swish House and DSR. I had broken into some house and found a DSR city. Oh, really? I love it. You know what I'm saying? I watched the CD player and this DSR, a burn city of DSRs on there. Okay. I think it was, I forgot which one it was. Was that going to do some bad to you? No. It was way before that. There was a freestyle. It was going to be a freestyle. They were yelling on the microphone. You're like, I'ma drop the ball. Volume, volume. Oh, volume. It was volume something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how they came with it. That's how they came with it. Yeah. So like I became a DSR fan and, you know, Swish House was doing those things. I just started freestyling. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I was always an AAP. I was turning to school. Yeah. So you know what I'm saying? They be freestyling in the back of the bus. I just started catching on. You know what I'm saying? Wow. I just been doing it since. You're not done. What did you want to become before you were 13 and started, you know, venturing off into that? Man, he had no like. He didn't have no goals or anything. Or what I wanted to be was like nothing I should have been. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah.  You know what I'm saying? Exactly.  Did you have your mom and your dad in your life when you were growing up? Well, I ain't never met my real dad. But my stepdad, he raised me. That's like my real dad. You know what I'm saying? Okay. So that's your dad? Yeah. So you did have a father figure in your life? Yeah.  You know what I'm saying? I was just hard headed. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I did have a father though. So let me ask you this now. So you have kids now? Nope. You don't have any kids? No. Okay. If you had a child at this moment right now. That's dope. Looking back on your life, what is it that he could have said to you or he could have done differently to get you to open up so that y'all could have had that relationship as in like. Oh, like my dad? Yeah. You're your father? I mean, I don't know. Because I know that if you have a child with, you know, being a boy and stuff like that, you would like for him to come to you because every parent want to be able to advise you. You've been through stuff. See, the thing is, it's not like he wasn't trying to. It's that I wasn't trying to listen. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was stubborn growing up. You know what I'm saying? Like I did what I wanted. You know what I'm saying? Like I've been getting my mama here since I was like a kid. You know what I'm saying? It ain't that he wasn't trying to do that. I wasn't trying to hear it. You know what I'm saying? So I mean, it really wasn't nothing he could do.  You know what I'm saying? Can I curse on her?  You know what I'm saying? I mean, it ain't really work. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. You know, they always say if you have kids, you're going to get paid back for all the things you did when you were young. Yeah, I hope that ain't true because it's going to be something. That's what they always said. I remember I used to hear stories. He used to tell me stories of things he did when he was young. And I was like, Lord, please don't let my kids be like that. Please. And I've been so blessed that my kids didn't do half of the things, not even a quarter of the things that he did when he was younger. Yeah. That's because God changed my life and I stopped all that stuff. And the me now is just the new me and I thank God for it. You know, I used to be bad.  And I come up in a time where everything we did, it was permissible. It was street, you know what I'm saying? And I think all my kids, not just the younger ones, but the older ones as well, they turn out good. Deal. Because I changed. And God, that's a blessing in itself. Yeah, you changed that energy going. You changed the whole thing.  No, but Brown man in the building, Brown is back. Hey, boss talk 101, man. We got Brown tonight. Deal. So what was the first? Do you remember the first song you rapped? Oh, the first song I did.   My partner, he'll be like, you remember you made that song? We just get to laugh. I'm like, here you go. So when did you start taking it serious? Probably like at 16. I had my mom buy me a laptop.  Me and my partner Tom started a 420 records before with Money Mines. And we're messing with her or whatever. I mean, we want nothing like dropping videos. And I knew it was just some kids, you know what I'm saying? So she had faith in you? Nah, it ain't that.  She knew that's what I wanted to do, you know what I'm saying? Because she's supporting you. She probably didn't like what my son's gonna blow. She probably didn't think all that, you know? I would just be really, you know what I'm saying? But she's supporting, she could have been hating it. Like, nah, nah, nah, you're not going to. Yeah, she got it for me, you know what I'm saying?  Right, right. So like, yeah, in a way, yeah. Yeah, she was supporting. Shout out for the mom. Shout out. I knew you were gonna get that in there some kind of way. Shout out for the mom. Right. She was fighting for that. Nah, my mom always been there for me, though. Right. Yeah, ain't nothing wrong with that. Shout out to the dad. His dad wasn't there. His father was, but his dad wasn't. Yeah, step up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He been there. God always found a way to make it all right, you know? Brown, so yeah, man, so, I mean, the music, man, is what we go by, right? I'm gonna get into this music a little bit. But what I see a lot here since I've been doing the interview and a lot of times, man, when it comes down to these artists, man, a lot of them really not making money from the music. You know what I mean? Yeah. I ask them, how are you making money?   You know what I mean? Yeah. It'd be like, throw, you know what I'm saying? How can a man make money and benefit off this music? Man, all they gotta do is build their booths. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's like, you can be a hard one. You got Apple and all the streaming. I mean, yeah. Does that stuff work? Yeah. But you gotta promote it. You can't just like, oh, I'm gonna drop this album on, or throw this show key. Now you gotta promote it, too. You know what I'm saying? You got your fan, man. Hey, look, come by my music on here. Other than that, unless you're charging for features or to perform somewhere, you know what I'm saying? But other than that, like, you gotta build it. It's a business, you know what I'm saying? All gas, no brakes, man. It was doing numbers on YouTube with that. And there's a lot of your stuff. It was doing numbers. Do you think when you look at your analytics, was it in Dallas or was this just everywhere? Man, oh, I don't know. My stuff be from like, when I get on my YouTube fortresses, or like, you know what I'm saying? Where it takes you, all that. It'll be from like, California. Really? Miami, Texas. And it's like, it's another state. So your biggest audience is in California? I think it'll be a mixture between Texas and Miami.  Even better than Texas? Nah, probably Texas is my biggest one. So Texas is the first and the end to be California and Florida? Yeah. What's the age range? I think it's like under 35, like between 18 and 35. Mainly men? It's some women, but mostly men, yo. Okay. But it's the style you use, man, and the way your cadence is. Like, a lot of folks say you sound like a brother. Yeah, I did that a lot. A lot of people say that. They be like, he sound black. You know what I'm saying? But you be rockin', though. I grew up with a lot of people. Yeah. And Mexicans too and all like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I fought with everybody. I already know. I know. You can tell by the music, man.  Yeah, when I brought it in, I had it popping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I brought the interview into the video. Oh, yeah. I was loving that, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm like, yeah, nigga, I got it, man. I got it. Yo, this one's gonna go down. I'm going back to that. You know what I'm saying? I ain't been doing that lately.

Appreciate it. You sent me the new music. I want to listen to a little bit of that too. I'm gonna pull it up and just rock out a little bit. I've been doing that lately. No. No, but going back to when you were growing up. So when did you get your first big break? Or did you get your first big, like your first hot song? Like what was that? A song called Swain. Swain, yeah. What year was that? And how old were you? Man, that was like four years ago. Hey. Okay. With my partner Revenue and Authentic, you know what I'm saying? I had that one. How many views you got on that? Man, I don't even know. Like 30,000 though. Okay. Like they're going on 40,000? Okay. That's dope. Oh. Did you know that was gonna go? Oh. Nah. I knew it was a good song. You're like, I don't know. I knew it was a good song, you know what I'm saying? But that's the first song that really, you know, people started noticing me like locally, you know what I'm saying? I wouldn't say like I ain't the millions of you, but man, that's the one that, yeah, it went hard. Okay. So what was different about that song than any other song? Oh, it's like a taste of song. Okay. You know, with the swine, the purple. Yeah, man. This guy right here, Brown, man, he don't stop, you know, when the music come on, you hear that Money Mines ENT and you know what it is. You be knowing what it is at that point and they could stop playing. Y'all know that's Brown. Brown in the building. Ain't no game.  That's you. This may play the whole thing. Yeah, that's the whole thing, man. What? Yeah. Yeah, that's the whole thing, man. Yeah, that's how Brown do it. So what inspired that song, man? Oh, I was in one of the most, I did all that song like, I did two songs that day when I did that one. Oh yeah? Yeah, I did that song and another song called Man Down. Yeah. I don't know. I just, I had that inspiration. I just feel motivated that I felt like doing it, you know what I'm saying? I just, I wasn't even recorded at the head. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? You been killing it, man. Yo. The boy go in, stop playing. That's how Brown do it. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo, yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. I don't. And I don't know what you're doing man. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yo. Yeah? I Did that before my PO see me to rehab and I think September October. Yeah. Yeah, I told So when you gonna do the video I Got a video on the night. You need to come do the do it. We do one of the cameos in here, man Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a yeah, that's the one for you Yeah, yeah, I got two videos choose the ninth and the 19th or somebody that I got achieved I know for sure on the night on the night.

Yeah Man, that's I don't I don't know man. I just know what I hear Oh I don't know. I just go on here. I'm saying I don't really be having no specific subject.  You know saying yeah However, you whatever that thing go, huh? Yeah, I think I got it. Yeah. Yeah, I got it now Yeah, that's right Yeah, cuz I got a hard time finding somebody locally that Yeah, it gotta have that it gotta have that drum that that bass line Yeah, cuz man, they use some kind of other But if you tell somebody if you find somebody who make beats and you tell them exactly what you want You don't think they will make you what I have and they come over something and they would I want it You know I'm saying like I got a pun Here come all the beat and I tell them usually hit it on point but I don't know like I Don't know like I rather just Get on YouTube and surf through that. You know I'm saying and then you know I come over whatever if I if I'm feeling the vibe like I'm like, yeah, this is Do you know there's a disadvantage buying YouTube beats compared to going to a producer and just Yeah, cuz if you got your own beat you own the song You know I'm saying like me ain't trippin like The day that that you know I'm saying I'm getting really really big chicks is the day that I you know I'm saying I mean don't get me wrong. I got beats that that I bought you know I'm saying it is Man, I'm used to be going in I just believe but they be going for like I'm not cheap or none I just I'm a businessman. I know how when to spend money and how to spend money right now Not the time for me to be spending two thousand dollars on a beat Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. So if I do that on an album twelfth 12 songs on the album You know like you gotta know how to move you don't say right now at least I'm ain't trippin You know when your time card, you know when it's time to get right Yeah, yeah, I know you know when it when the time when the time come or whatever unless I just find somebody that That's good with it.  So you know I'm saying I ain't really just been on it But I'm gonna get back on the door. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, who is that? It's a kid over at Fort Worth sound like Poo Shiesty. Who is that dude?

Team keep it clean. It's going on the same grave in here with another video and this is a OTAs is such a bittersweet thing Because what OTAs mean is that football is back Means that football is back and we getting that much closer to the season But again OTAs are a bittersweet thing because that means that the injuries they start coming Which is what I always say is the worst part about football and in this case for the LA charges They're tight in Hunter Henry. He suffered a torn ACL at OTAs, so While this doesn't doesn't excuse me while this doesn't technically mean that his season is officially over It's it's probably gonna be over unless unless they Designate him to return they do the injured reserve and they designate him to return if he can be one of those two players But either way He's gonna most likely miss at least the first eight games in the season Which is never good, man. I always say that this This is the worst part about football man. It's the worst part about football.  It's not if your team is keeps losing It's not if your team keeps missing the playoffs. It's not none of that the worst part about football is injuries. It's injuries it's injuries because they They they take something from everybody. Nobody wins when people are injured Nobody wins when people are injured not the fans not the players not the teams not anybody Nobody wins when players are injured Even if say for instance your team is going up against another team that you don't like if you're going up You're going up against a rival team and one of their one of their main players is injured some of y'all Some of y'all not everybody but some of y'all might be like, oh, yes. We ain't got to deal with that guy. He's injured Yes, I love it Not me. I want that competition man I want my team to go up against the very best of the best so when it comes down to it It ain't no excuses It ain't no excuses So and nobody got to be like, oh, yeah Well, if we had this guy then we would have won or if we didn't have that guy no But this sucks for Hunter Henry.  It just sucks for football fans period So that that's tough man. That's tough. I know they said Paul Warlow earlier today He's probably gonna be out for the year and now Hunter Henry and the the names Unfortunately, like I said the worst part about football His injuries and this is only the beginning So more gonna come more people are gonna get hurt more players are gonna get injured From the top to the bottom of everybody's roster Everybody the people gonna be falling people gonna be falling and it's tough man It's tough, but that's That's what makes football being a football fan just so interesting For lack of a better words But it's it's tough.  I appreciate y'all I know this is sad news But on a brighter note, you can make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel and I guess Unfortunately, like I said, this is a football channel. Y'all already know I'm a Ravens fan, but on here. We just talk football period So we got to get back to spreading the news about football to everybody that's subscribed to this channel and That's gonna be from every team from everybody little something for everybody.

I hate to break it to you.


It's the first match of the Big Bash League, Australia's domestic cricket league. That guy's got his helmet on. He's ready to go. This guy's Bob and this kid undercover in disguise. The Thunder need eight runs from the last six balls to win the match.  That is the bowler for the stars and that's the batter for the Thunder. Two teams both wearing green. Confusing gives it a good whack, but it is caught a one-handed grab so the batter is out, green is out.  Are you shitting me? What? One-handed grab and now I'm done so the final over's gonna bring another guy in. Look at this. Ball's up in the air. He's running after it. One hand just sticks it. Pretty impressive. Rolls, throws. Really good roll and throw. Just bam, almost poses mid-grap. Like, yeah, sure did. The bowler loves it. He's all about it. Webster, look at this, like, classic movie pump. So now the new batsman comes in. Faisal, there's five balls left. They need eight runs. He swings big, misses. Oh no, he's out. See you later, Faisal. Nice knowing ya. You're done. Right under it. Hits the middle stump and the keeper picks it up with his gloves. Ooh, bowler loves it. That's two wickets in a row. Two outs in a row. Hat trick ball. Can he get three in a row? The batsman looks around. Tries to pick up where the fielders are. Just a little tap and it gets past the infielder who made a nice attempt. So that's one run, but more importantly, it gets this guy, Sandu, back on strike. So now he's the one hitting. They meet in the middle. Molding of the mines. They're like, what do you think we should do? He's like, I don't know. My name's Dogged. I just got out here. I didn't think I'd be playing. Why don't you just hit it that way? And he's like, that way? Yeah. That's where they got runs last time. And he's like, okay, all right, cool. I'll hit it that way. Sounds good. So Sandu's up. He's got 14 runs off, 13 balls already.  They call it a six because it's worth six points over the boundary. And now it's one run off of the next two balls to win. They're tied. They can't win the bowling team. They can only hold them to a tie. And now look at the keeper. He took his right glove off just in case he has to make a throw to hold this runner. So now he's playing with one and that doesn't get through. That's Bolt, Trent Bolt is his name. I believe, I think. I think. And he makes a nice stop there and Sandu's like, I wanted to flip it over the infielder's heads. So they meet again. And my dude Zampa back there. He's like, come in, come in. Everybody come in. We got to stop the short ball. We can't get past the infield. We can't let them score. Force them to hit it deep. So he goes to hit it deep. He misses it, but then so does the keeper who took his glove off. And it's always a live ball and cricket. So they just run it out. It would have been a four anyway because they hit the boundary and no one can believe it.  They don't show a good replay, but would he have been able to make that stop with the glove on? Maybe. What a way to open the big bash league. Hung heads.  Two wickets in the final over seven needed from the last three. Not good. This breakdown was brought to you by DraftKings. Thank you to DraftKings for sponsoring the video and sponsoring a lot of the breakdowns. This past year, appreciate you.


Young people usually have a lot of zeal, strength and curiosity. If you are in your 20s, it is the best time to strategize and pursue your career goals and interests. Whether or not you will be the next Bill Gates is usually determined around this age. Your 20s is a time to fight for your dreams and push yourself to the limit. It is the period to acquire a new degree, a master's degree and even a PhD. It is time to set the stage for your success. However, in the course of pursuing your dreams, you can sometimes pick up some bad habits or make decisions that will lead you down an undesirable path. While nobody aspires to these things, most young people get caught up in them and have unfulfilled old ages to thank for it. In this video, I will be sharing with you 9 traps most young people fall into in their 20s. The traps span across time management, finance, relationships and jobs. 1. Dream for Money Robert Kiyosaki in the Reached Dad Poor Dad said, Most people have a price, and they have a price because of a human emotion called fear and greed. First, the fear of being without money motivates us to work hard, and then once we get that paycheck, greed or desire starts us thinking about all the wonderful things money can buy. A patternist Dan said, Get up, go to work, pay the bills. Our lives are then run forever by two emotions, fear and greed. Offer them more money and they continue the cycle by also increasing their spending.  Many people in their 20s fall into the strap and get stuck. To avoid the strap, one must take out time to study the reach and successful man and understand what they did differently. Only getting a job, unfortunately, will not help you with this. You can have a job and still be a slave to money. To avoid this problem, having a monthly budget and an amount set aside for investment can be extremely helpful. Two, accepting a job because the pay is higher, this sounds logical, right? It looks like a case of choosing cheese over butter. However, in reality, it can be a very poor decision. As a youth in your 20s, the pressure of life are just beginning. There is now peer pressure and parent pressure combined. There is the innate need for independence, the need to belong and ride flashy cars like your counterparts. However, in choosing a job, choose wisely. Do not make your decision based on the salary alone. Take into account what type of experience, networking and mentorship opportunities. This is expedient because in the long run, your professional skills and experience will always be more valuable to a prospective employer than how much you were paid in your last job. Running into debt because of wedding Having a big wedding is a dream come true for a lot of couples. Unfortunately, this dream can be quite expensive. According to CNBC, the average cost of a wedding ranges from $26,000 to $28,000. This is really a lot to spend on just one day. Instead of going into debt in your wedding, you could organize a smaller event. Many young people fall into this trap and spend their first year of marriage repaying the debt. The amount of money spent on the event can most times have acquired an asset for the couple that can serve them in the long term. If you are thinking of how to avoid the strap, try to remember that the wedding is for you and your spouse and not the guests. Remember that the guests have not come to witness the hall or the limousine. They have come to witness your union with your spouse. Keep those things in mind and you are already halfway to avoiding the strap. Spending too much on a car Driving a Tesla sounds like a good idea, right? Once you start making money, it's easy to fall into the strap. The desire to ride a flashy car that attracts the praise and admiration of your colleagues is often strong. Some people even take a loan or buy the car on higher purchase. The consequences of falling into the strap may not affect only your savings. It can also significantly increase recurring expenditure. According to Forbes, an automobile is a depreciating asset as it ages. It loses value rapidly and drastically. There is also a very little chance of an automobile used for personal transportation to appreciate in value. To avoid falling into the strap, spend only what you can afford on a car and only purchase one if you really need it. If you do not at the moment, you can use your resources for other profitable things. 5. Failing to plan Young people usually begin ventures and make commitments without thinking it through and they hope to figure it out as they progress. Because of this, they seldom succeed at them. Having a clearly defined goal sustains interest and motivation in anything a person undertakes. This applies to finances, personal development and relationships. According to Benjamin Franklin, by failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. Young people who are not intentional at their goals are unlikely to succeed at anything. Carefully outlining your goals and mapping out strategies to accomplish them helps you stay focused and motivated. It also gives you a clue on the possible challenges you might face trying to accomplish them. That way, you are better prepared. To avoid falling into the strap, always write out your plans in detail and form a habit of doing this, even for the most trivial things. 6. Spending more than you have Most working-class youths in their 20s fall into the strap. This is more rampant for people in formal employment arrangements. The assurance of next month's salary gives them the idea that they are invincible. They take loans to be repaid when they are paid their salaries and unintentionally create a debt cycle for themselves. They are always borrowing and repaying, leaving no room for budgeting and savings. To avoid this strap, do not make expenses that are urgent if you do not have cash. 7. Not setting financial goals Most young people in their 20s leave from paycheck to paycheck. This is not an ideal plan if one aspires to achieve financial independence someday. Now that you are in your 20s, setting financial goals helps one to manage their finances and set savings and investment targets. To avoid this strap, read books on financial investment and associate with people that share similar values with you. 8. Not having health insurance When you are young, you feel invincible, you rarely believe anything can happen. Well, things do happen. The best way to handle such circumstance is to be prepared. Some young people have had terrible accidents, no one hopes for such events, however, planning for it is great. At least when it does happen, all medical expenses will be borne by the insurance company and not you. It also helps you save the huge amount of money such treatments usually attract. 9. Starting a family without a financial plan Starting a family is a big decision. Some countries even give financial support to couples that decide to start families. But this is rarely applicable in developing countries. Most young people fall into the strap and regret it. Do not start a family unless you and yours have set aside enough money to cover health insurance, tuition, fitting and clothing for the child. It may not necessarily be all complete, but enough resources for the child until he or she is up to 18 years is ideal. If all young people thought things through before deciding to have babies, children in society today would rarely like anything. If this video inspired you, share the video. We love you.


Joe's head bounced off the metal table with a clang. The man in the suit behind him cracked his knuckles and walked around the table. Joe shook his head. The initial hit was still ringing in his ears. Look, I'm still entertaining buyers.  See, he is the thing. The man in the suit reached across the table and slapped Joe in the side of the head with his open palm. The force of the blow lifted Joe out of the chair and sent him flying into the floor. The man in the suit straightened his tie.   Joe cradled his head as he felt a boot kick him in the stomach. He retched slightly and curled into a fetal position. The man in the suit crouched in front of Joe and continued, I vouched for you. You understand what that means, right?  Joe tried to answer through the pain. I swear, I'll get you your cut before the end of the week. The man in the suit patted Joe on the side of the face. I don't got that kind of time, Joe. My boss is breathing down my neck about this. I had to tell him something. He's taken a personal interest. The man in the suit stood up and walked over to the only door in the gray room, knocked three times before opening it, and moved to the corner of the room opposite Joe. The door swung open on its own and Joe could see a bright light in the warehouse outside before it was eclipsed by something massive. Whatever it was had the rough shape of a man, but it was far too tall. It ducked under the doorway and entered the room. Joe's eyes went wide as the lamp in the center of the room eliminated the creature. The creature's fingers reached all the way to the floor, terminating in sharp nails from Joe's perspective. It was difficult to tell where the fingers ended and the nails began, but they scraped the ground as a thing crept with staccato steps leaning forward on backward-facing knees. The gray, wrinkled skin covering the creature pulsed and throbbed under the light bulbous pustules rupturing and healing repeatedly. The thing's face was all smiles, with a grin that reached up and out of sight around the back of its head. As it stopped in front of Joe, it focused its single yellow eye on the man and opened an impossibly wide mouth. Where? It began with a shallow and breathless voice.  Joe shat his pants. It wasn't a subtle affair. The creature twisted its head to an impossible degree, but continued to stare at Joe. Joe, for his part, couldn't have formed words if he'd wanted to. He'd lost all control of his faculties. All he could hear or see or think about was the creature's eye. The creature finally looked up from Joe's paralyzed form at the man in the suit across the room, and it opened its mouth again. He's got a warehouse in Wiccan North. It stopped and wheezed. I've got the address. We'll go there after I'm done. For Joe, the physical pain was gone. All he could focus on was the yellow eye, probing. The creature's neck twisted grotesly as it returned to staring at Joe. Joe's eye is filled with tears, but he didn't move. Then the creature moved back slightly, and Joe began to gasp. He hadn't even noticed, but he'd stopped breathing. And suddenly, his lungs were screaming for air. What? The creature gasped out as it looked up at the man in the suit. Do you think we should do with him? The man in the suit stepped out of the shadows of the corner and shrugged. He's a good owner, but I'm not inside his head. Is he loyal? Joe saw the back of the creature's head as it smiled. The teeth did in fact go all the way around. He is a now. The man in the suit smiled back. Good. I'll call Doc and let him know we'll have the artifacts by the end of the day. Yes, the creature said before standing up and moving towards the door. The man in the suit nodded. Thanks, boss. Sometimes these kids are more trouble than they're worth. The creature didn't say anything else, as both it and the man in the suit walked out of the room. Joe shivered on the floor for several more minutes before finally getting the courage to stand and leave.
