Hello, and welcome back to the Cruft Box. My name is Brenton. Today We're in episode 82 for the Wizard 101 death walk-through last episode if you haven't checked it out already. We arrived in the district of the stars and Did a whole bunch of nice not too much But yeah in between episodes I defeated the sharks and we are just going to Nearly ran run into that finish off the quest that we were on Well when we left off which was basically to Sort out the sort of thing we were just getting tiles and stuff and putting the tiles on the thing You find a small mosaic tile wedged into the gears of the orary Okay, and shot cut so it wasn't too hard at all We needed the tiles to fix one of these things. I think it was that one there There's a nice wee shell here. Let's take that shell shells are nice. I like shells a Shark must have used this place to hide a small cache of mosaic tiles perhaps to barter with you take them Okay, um, or let's head on back to Thornton Lewis And see what he says about this Which is fun Yeah, I really I have to say again that I really love the series of Celestia. It's actually fantastic Really really fantastic, okay an active protector Thornton, hello six seven eight nine You've recovered all the missing mosaic pieces smashing Now you're ready to restore the mosaic floor to its former state head on into the chantry and see about putting the pieces back Where they belong that should put us ahead of the game So could you have thanks? No, I don't even know where that is or what that is about Okay, we're nearly another level which is fantastic Nearly level 55. Oh, wow. That's another spell quest. I believe from grizzleheim this time Which from memory is actually quite a hard boss so we have to defeat so I don't know if we'll get it now I think it's bad juju is it or is it an Avalon, it's a utility spell. I know that I don't know whether it's I don't actually know what it is at all So yeah, I'll search it up later But yeah, let's go and use this tile. Let's not get pulled because that would be bad Already defeated enough of these people We just walk all the way around. That's fine No, I should have gone the other way, but that's fine. We are here now Okay So what do we have? We have grizzleheim. We have crocotopia. We have Mali bone. We have Mooshu. We have Wizard City. We have Technically another Mooshu. We have Celestia and we have dragon spire So basically it just makes a spiral which is pretty cool actually Um, but yeah, let's head back to Thornton Lewis once more And we will see what's next. Vultic eels are here as well. Hmm They're everywhere to be honest I think it would have been quicker to go the other way. Oh, well, um, that's fine Next episode we're going into the Stellarium and we'll get another astral spell I think it's in foul because it will be star school That fountain again is so cool um yeet yeet yeet yeet Um got here. That's such a long way.  You're the best student I've ever taught Yay, level up. You've done much to earn your way into the Stellarium, but you're not done I've taught you all I can and the next steps are yours alone Go to the astral archive and see if you can catch some more out of that archivist That should set you on the right path Okay, what's this? Excuse me. There's been an oversight Apparently you're due for another spell one your professors aren't teaching you You'll hear from balder gold pause when he thinks you're ready to learn the spell It may involve going into winter tusk in grizzleheim So you should become familiar with that area. Um, is there a side quest we have to do maybe? Because I know we definitely have to Be in soodriland, but we've finished winter tusk So I thought it was a main quest that we had to do that triggered it, but apparently it isn't Um, so I'm just gonna find out But we will talk To the archivist I am the archivist a construct to aid research in the astral archive I am the archivist a construct created to aid research in the astral archive You just said that my empathic array Detects that you are here searching for a means of entry into the Stellarium Is that correct? Only celestian citizens are permitted unrestricted access to the Stellarium Temporary access to the Stellarium may be granted by allowing an empathic scan to determine suitability Please present yourself to the preceptors of configuration conflict and contrivance for your evaluation Once finished return with the tokens denoting successful completion and place them in the security plinth The preceptors have been activated and are ready for your use Okay, more things to do um So I just looked on the wiki and apparently I should be able to Do it anytime so in between episodes I might go Head over and see bolder and see what I have to do for him um I may do it now or I may do it later be just let me find out. Oh god. Oh, that was close Don't not focus on the screen bring that would be bad. Um You see what it is. We will read at the conflict station The preceptor lectures for a little while about identifying and resolving disagreements of all sort When the lecture is complete the preceptor produces a small metal token for you. Congratulations Okay, let us go to the next one, which is the configuration station Which is over this side The music is very quiet in here, which really puts me off because like I think that I've done something wrong um But the music is just really really quiet. Oh, it's over here. Hello Trying to switching things up on me, eh? There is an extremely long lecture about celestian philosophy astronomy and magic theory At the end of the lecture the preceptor produces a small metal token for you shiny Okay Let us head on over to the next one the Contrivance station I've got the hiccups, which is not good at all Oh Hiccups are bad. Mmm. I always get hiccups. It's really annoying. Uh, hopefully hopefully they won't annoy me too much um, but yeah Hello The preceptor speaks at length about the creation of devices with magical properties When it is finished lecturing you the preceptor produces a small metal token for you.  Um, that was pretty skills dodging all those guys Um, oh, there's a security plinth plinth just here. Perfect You fit the three course completion tokens into slots on the security plinth Okay, and the archer is still on small Dun dun dun dun dun. Hello. Congratulations Your evaluation was a success and you have been deemed worthy to enter the stelaarium If you wish to continue proceed to the pedestal immediately outside the doors of the stelaarium in the grand plaza Okay, um, we are going to hit over there We pro we won't be doing this in this episode just because it's kind of long And I kind of want like it's not an episode for it because it is kind of like a pivotal dungeon of this world, um As well as the lunaerium and the Chancell, I think it's the last one, but I don't really remember But yeah, there's like three important dungeons that are like gonna be there on episodes just because it's kind of important The pedestal appears to be missing a small section of metal a key of some kind perhaps Thornton Lewis knows about it Of course we can't go on it yet. That would be all too all too good Great england there Brent all too good Lee. Okay Thornton. Hello Funny you should mention something being missing the other day I saw the Piscian leader a big fellow named Brutus Starkwave fiddling with that pedestal I wager he knows something about your missing key um, okay We are going over to stark weave salea Which I think is the one which is yeah in the back here and like down in the ground isheria Which is kind of weird. It's like down there. Yeah I remember it's like in the ground Yeah, don't even ask like literally is There's just sand day How does sand stay like that? I don't know, but you know what celestians were crazy beasts. Who knows not me um Two of you Two of you Oh email Okay, this is no place for a surface dweller. Come on boys fresh meat Um, what else do we want?  Well, we've got a heal Might put two just in case after this card one and two fortified just in case there we go. Okay Let us do this Um, okay He's already dead. What lol um Okay, um, so they want shield. He's got 4 000 health, which isn't too much Um, draw. What else do we get? We got a scarecrow. Don't really need you, but we'll fortify straight off the bat fortify is nice What's this judgment no, but I want to hit okay natural attack come to a bit. Yep. Just a bit Okay, and no fizzle, which is good Don't like fizzles fizzles are bad Um, what else are we gonna get? We are going to get a Blade, which is nice. We don't need you for now. We're gonna draw. See what we get blade. Thank you. Perfect Gonna double blade. Hopefully triple blade Um Balance isn't actually too bad to go up against. They are kind of good That's more other schools that I worry about Um, next time we'll infall if I'm not infall we'll fortify if we don't have a Blade which we hopefully will Okay, that did quite a bit. How much is that 45? Yeah 40 45 and 35 which we don't have so we will fortify Just to refresh the aura What's this? Oh, perfect the wrong shield Uh, yeah, that's good Yum Keeping up that fortify fortify is kind of crucial. I say again fortify is really good Um, like fortify is just great to have Don't even know what that was. Okay. It was elemental blade get to know It is too big these sharks Too massive, you know It is huge Look at that three blades. This is the first time we've ever got three blades on our death Big moment. Sorry. I had to sneeze. Um Okay, what's he doing? He's doing a oh god Pound over minibur and palmo another Molten cheese the molten cheese ball. Okay Boop boop boop and minus 25. I'm lucky Mmm 2000 that did quite a bit More than I was expecting that I mean, I would expect it to do a bit more, but I'm not worried Mainly because he doesn't have much health left so we can hopefully just wraith him and he's dead, which will be good Close that should be good Should be good. We'll see We'll see how that goes. Oh another email. That's another video uploaded. Ha ha Uploading while recording multitasking.  Oh, they both I thought they had different arm accuracies Oh, he's got a lot of health though We might have to enchant and faint No, we'll just do another blade then. That's also fine. That also works I mean, I have a hundred of those Death blades and we can always get more so I'm not worried about that. It's discard heal Heal should be not like not needed Discard you because we've got a enchanted one and we should have one more enchantment.  It must be the missing key Okay, that is good. That wasn't actually too hard. I'm actually really impressed with um How well that went considering Actually, I didn't expect that to go Very good at all. Um So, yeah, that's perfect. Um, let us head back up to Thornton Lewis Um, and we will See what is next Oh, oh, oh god. We can't go that way. Good job Brent. Good job. Can we go? No, we have to go I'm stuck. No, no, please. No, no, no The walls are closing in Okay, um, that's better And we will go back over here down the bridge this bridge is I So beautiful so beautiful I love this place so much. It's so nice. I also love the floating lands. Those are the two most Beautiful places in my opinion of celestia I think you finally got it This is it Now you can journey into the solarium and that artifact is crucial to understanding celestia star magic Recover it and take it to the grand astrolabe in the celestia base cap Okay So let us just use the key and access it and then next episode we will head on into the starlarium and Do the first important dungeon, which is fantastic. So yeah, let's use the key And we will recover the star of celestia Um in the starlarium next episode. So thank you for watching Remember to like and subscribe if you're for a subscribe press the little bell To know exactly when I post another video and remember craft outside the box


Hey, good afternoon. My name is Chief Officer 3, Paul James. I'm the combat cargo officer for the USS Baton. So what is DISCA? DISCA is defense support for civil authorities. Basically, there's different types of missions going anywhere from short missions to long-term all the way up the catastrophic events such as hurricanes or earthquakes, something to that extent, that will come in and actually help provide relief to. In 2005, Katrina was barreling down on New Orleans. Baton actually sorted out for that disco. It was pre-planned. They pre-pre-positioned themselves off the coast of New Orleans. Right after that, they were in the vicinity to immediately start relief operations, which they did the very next day. Baton's helicopters were actually the very first helicopters to fly off the ship and start getting that damage assessment to allow FEMA and the rest of the government to fill the step in and help support the citizens. So selecting Baton as a disco ship is kind of multi-pronged to answer. We're next in line to deploy, hence, we're the most ready ship to deploy. We have the flight deck, which helps out with the aircraft, and they can fly up over top everything, kind of get a damage assessment of what happened, what the ground looks like. We can fly sorties off the USS Baton with medical support, help out people on the ground, maybe even bring them back here to support with our medical facility or surgical wards, things like that. At the same time we also have the well deck where we can send back supplies back and forth, ship the shore. We have the Marines on board with their logistic detachment that can go there. They can make fresh water to give to people. They can transport supplies and equipment back and forth from the ship to the shore.


Prizes over central commodities in the open markets have continued to skyrocket and seem to be above the reach of the common man. Plus, David Correspondent, love Ikuku Yidoku, visited some markets and lagas and brought back the supports. Our first part of call is a live chicken and rum section of the popular Idumato market in Lagos Island. It is void of the unusual human traffic situation, occasioned by Christians trooping in and out to buy one item or the other ahead of Easter celebration. From live birds and gold section to perishable goods such as tomato, pepper, onions, etc. were met the traders practically lying idle. They had little or no customer to attend to. Nobody go by as they work hard in some markets, nobody follow by, that's why markets do safe. Market no day at all, market no day. And the curry worker work hard too much, market no day, in no day at all, that's why they do now. Because market is too cost. I can't, no move at all, at all. My tongue got the same small small, everything required to bring and also to hold up. No more so, market no small small. People know they come like last year, but Alamdulillah is small small, they are coming to buy the chicken, but even the fries is not the same with that last year. A little down the road is another section where curry, rice, beans and other edible items are sold. The story isn't different. The traders also decry low patronage and high cost of goods. Gold prices, everything costs. Gold prices, gold, how much gold do they sell, what's the difference? Gold prices are less, what's the difference, how much do they sell? They are all the same, what's the difference? Some people were selling something last year, 2 years. This year they were selling 5 years. Last two years ago you were selling this pigeon, 3,000, 2,000, 5,000, but this year you are selling 4,000, 3,000, 5,000. Something is cost this year, no money to buy it safe, as it costs. There you can raise it, it's not 500, 400, this year 700, 600. They call on the federal governments to come to their aid and address issues affecting the economy. Made them help us because all the things where we decide now, they just put money, they think just they go up and no money to buy it. Where we come market today, the price where we buy market today, if you come tomorrow, then we just put money again. Made them help us, made them help us, we need help, made them help us, everybody they para, made them help us. Despite the worrisome scenario, these traders are still hopeful of better days ahead.

Hey guys, how was technique? It's great. Yeah. Yeah, thank you. Thank for drinking water not that garbage you drink I needed it. You need to drink Red Bull.  Yeah, I know I heard. I switched now Only iced coffee. Only iced coffee? Yeah, I can't drink anything hot. Really? It's back to me bad memories. I don't know what that means. Wait cut it. Okay. All right, what are you? Coffee, candy, chips, coke, soda that is. Yeah. And now water. Now water. I like that. Good. We got you guys down here in the dirty south then to get you some water, right? Yeah. What are the degrees down here? Hey, safe travels to you guys today. Thanks. Did you see what you needed to see today? Yeah, that's it. All right, it's great. I want to talk to you about my test scores after this, all right? Got it.


From New York, it's theCUBE, covering Blockchain Week. Now, here's John Furrier. Hello everyone, welcome back. I'm John Furrier. We're here on the ground, actually on the water, on the majesty boat in New York City, as Decentral has their big unveiling, Anthony Diorio, CUBE alumni, good friend of theCUBE. It's having a massive event here in New York City, celebrating the new releases of their new platform, their new hardware product, actually called theCUBE. We'll talk about that with Anthony, but moreover, it's part of a big holistic Blockchain Week in New York City, exciting new projects from new financial products, the cryptos enabling technology innovation, a lot of personal people going doing deals. So, what's going on with you? You look great, we are at the party. We are. You're looking good. People are going crazy loud out there. What's your change? We're on a boat. I think this kind of environment is very friendly to the kind of community that is created by Blockchain naturally. So, I really commend Decentral and Anthony and all of their efforts around this in that they're now creating an environment where I can't walk five feet down the hallway without seeing somebody else that I know. And the important thing about that is that now we're really creating this big digital conglomerate. We're creating a network of people where I was just speaking to someone outside, and he said that it's amazing to see people sharing all kinds of information about their new projects, their recognizing that there really is enough pie for everyone. There's not, it is a competition game, but really that we should really compete on the application layer, and that we should collaborate on the code base. We should collaborate on security, and we should collaborate on these really big issues, like regulation and privacy. So, it's amazing to see all these people. And that's important, that's an open source ethos right there. It is, yeah. Really work together on a project, not product, because there's a difference between a project and a product. And open source is, that's language, it's important. Yeah. That's ethos. I love that. What's going on in the boat? We'll share some anecdotes of what's happening here, people who didn't make it, couldn't make the boat. They're giving away some cars, Aston Martin's got the bracelet here. What's some of the hallway conversations on the boat? What are you hearing here during Blockchain Week? Well, first of all, Blockchain Week has been an amazing opportunity for the Blockchain Research Institute to really showcase the work that we are doing, to express our interest in enterprise Blockchain, but really also to support the growing community that is happening in the world, and more so in Canada. We believe that Canada has an amazing opportunity to be a leader in Blockchain, and they are already, really. A significant amount of the people here are Canadian, you know, Anthony is a proud Canadian, lots of different companies are, and one of the major initiatives that we had at Consensus was the Canadian Pavilion. So, we gathered together 23 Canadian Blockchain companies. By the way, you needed a bigger room. We did, I know, I know. Because there was so many companies, you could have done it in your own conference. Yeah, exactly, exactly. But the key part with that is that we really wanted to showcase the amazing Canadian innovations that are happening so that people recognize that, you know, Canada and the, more specifically the Toronto Waterloo Corridor is the next Silicon Valley, it's the next hub of Blockchain and of Quantum Computing and of AI. And so, if you take those three together, really those are Don Tapscott and Alex Tapscott, our two co-founders. They authored a report for the World Economic Forum and they argued that Blockchain really is the third leg of the stool, that we need to provide an atmosphere for innovation and this was a really good way for us to do that. And certainly it's got money tied to its applications now have a financial component, token economics, a real key enabler in this too. Certainly Blockchain, check, great, we love it, everyone loves Blockchain but it's the token economics that kick in, that are starting to see money, things, applications tying into tokens and coins. Yeah, I think, but that really creates a lot of, it creates a lot of confusion, it creates a lot of noise.  But in entering the internet of value, we're now no longer dealing with just information, we're dealing with things that matter to people, we're dealing with identity and privacy and physical assets and real estate and all kinds of different things that are really foundations of the economy. And in this case, we really need the community to come together and support a regulatory environment because if we don't, then the regulators will and it won't work in our best interest. Yeah, it's gotta be open, open always beats proprietary. I'm so convinced of that, open source software, which I've lived that generation when it was, we were fighting for, you know, Unix versus Znew, copyright with AT&T and then it was a tier two citizen, now it runs the world's tier one, open source one. Exactly. And the model is proven, it's coming to crypto and do you see that coming clearly or? Yeah, I do. Do people get that? Do people generally feel that way? I think people are starting to get it. I think as platforms like, you know, obviously Ethereum, but as platforms like Hyperledger and R3's Querta and the Quorum platform from JP Morgan, as these platforms grow in size and grow in membership and grow in collaboration, people will see that the way to collaborate, it's all about this, I don't know if you've seen the graphs about fat protocols. Now we're entrusting our payments and our identities and our, you know, the things that really matter to us, we're not giving them to the application layer anymore. We're giving them to the protocol layer and if we're giving them to the protocol layer, then we really need to collaborate to ensure that all of that information is correct all the time and the only way we're going to be able to do that is to be able to create open source platforms and open source activities where everyone is able to participate. That's the only way we can create prosperity and something like this. And if you want to take the code and do something downstream, there's mechanisms for that. Yeah, exactly. That's the collaboration. There's lots of enterprise clients like Procter & Gamble and Exxon Mobile and PepsiCo and others where they're very interested in enterprise blockchain but at the same time, they want to be able to leverage the security of the public chain, right? It's, Matt spoke at Aeon X, had a really, really interesting comment about two weeks ago. He said, I think, and he apologized in advance, it's like, this may be controversial but I really think he's right in that he said, you know, five, 10, 20 years down the road, we won't know the difference between an enterprise blockchain and a public chain, right? Like, we will be able to have- It should be, he's right, I agree with him. Exactly. We will be able to have, we'll get to a point where it will be dumb not to use the public chain.  But one of the interesting things too, you missed the panel because you might've seen Jimmy Song's debate with- I did, yes. That was very provocative. So he's got a point on it, there's two sides of the coin, you know, no pun intended, right? One is what you're saying, that enterprises can come in. What Jimmy was saying is that it's a waste to use the public chain now because of some inefficiencies. He's technically accurate, but that's going to get better. So I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water, so to speak. No, no, I agree, but I think there's a lot of solutions to come in the next year or two or three around interoperability. And I think at the end of the day, everyone should be able to use whatever blockchain that they think best fits their features, but that they should integrate with a company like Aon or Icon or Metronome or all these other interesting interoperability projects where you're able to leverage the security of the public chain, but also be able to continue to have your own ecosystem together. You know, I saw it in a John Tapscott about this when I interviewed him at an IBM event and I'm old enough that I've seen a couple, some of these waves that I live. And I hear the same arguments all the time. Oh, the performance is not there compared to this. But these are waves, these are shifts, right? So, PC, oh, no one's ever gonna do anything with that. You know, it goes on and on, web. Oh, it's so slow to dial up and load a web page, but all of them were shifts in growth. Growth was coming behind it. So that's the wrong conversations are happening. The growth is coming.  It is about not necessarily getting in the weeds over, did this one thing, is it good now? Yeah, or will this upgrade work? Or will something really move forward? I think that, so Don actually said in 1992, in paradigm shift, he said that leaders of old paradigms often have trouble embracing the new. And so for us at the Blockchain Research Institute, we really exist to bridge that knowledge gap between top tier executives like Fred Smith and Rob Carter from FedEx, like Internewi at PepsiCo. We aim to bridge that knowledge gap so that they just better know how to flow funds within their own company. You guys are doing great work. You guys are doing great work. So I'll take a minute and give a plug real quick. Love your work. Explain some of the things you guys are doing. You're on the right track. I can say I love what you're doing. I looked at it, it's right on, but you're open. You're not like, you know, down on your fist on the table. You guys are cool. Take a minute to explain to me what the work you guys are doing. So we're doing AD projects on the strategic applications of blockchain technology in a variety of industries. So our research fits in three categories. We have verticals where financial services is obviously our largest vertical, but we're also looking into projects in retail, in manufacturing and supply chain, in healthcare, in government, in media, in telecommunications, in resources and mining, you know, you know, pickaxe mining, not bitcoin mining. Real mining, old school mining. Old school mining, yeah. And then we're also looking at a lot of the management applications of blockchain. So, you know, the first generation of the internet didn't really do a lot to change the structure of the corporation. It allowed us to find people all over the world. I can find people to do anything, but I still have to negotiate a contract with them. I still have to enter into an agreement. I still have to establish trust. But if we now have this amazingly fluid technology that allows us to lower the cost of search, the cost of negotiating contracts, the cost of contracting, and the cost of establishing trust, then that blows the windows and the walls of the corporation wide open. And in that, we are really striving to help our member organizations understand that. The nature of the firm is changing. Economic theory of yesteryear being disrupted really fast way. Yeah, definitely. Blockchain. Thanks for coming up. Oh, one more question. Yeah, sure. This week, what did you hear and the out there in the city? What's your observation? For the people who didn't make it to New York, a lot of great face-to-face, a lot of great engagement, good networking, good contacts, growing ecosystem, but still a tight knit community, people know each other, they're sharing information. What did you hear? Share some data, some insights that folks couldn't get if they didn't come. I think for us, a lot of the reason that we are here is that it's a peril if you don't show up. It's being part of a community. If we are going to show a leadership role in this community, then we need to show up for our coworkers. We need to show up for companies that may not be able to advocate for themselves. I've met so many interesting companies this week that either do not have the resources or they're trying to raise money or they're trying to be investors, and the life of an entrepreneur obviously is a tough one. And for us, we have a growing pioneer membership at the Blockchain Research Institute where we aim to connect large corporations who are looking to invest in different blockchain platforms, but don't know where to start. And so we run essentially a whitelisting service where we are partnered with lots of amazing companies like Paycase and Shift and ColliderX and Aeon and all these different companies where they're really working to move the ball forward as well as make an impact. So yeah, for us it was looking for more innovative companies, but also doing our part, showing our role. This was one of the first times that I actually saw Don Tatskot and Alex Tatskot actively taking meetings and participating in the conversation and being present and being there. So for us, it was a lot of, it was presence. It was a lot of presence. We're thrilled to be here. You having fun? I am, yes, yes. Behind us is a boat. We're on it. We're in the front part. We're in the Anthony Diario private suite lounge where you can relax. I think it's kind of a green room. Behind us, awesome DJ, four stories of boat going down New Yorkers past the Statue of Liberty. A lot of action. Let's get back to the partying. What are you saying? Sounds good, sounds good. All right, I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching. We're on the boat. New York City, thank you for watching.


Welcome inside studio 34. This is the fan duel hurry up I am Greg Sussman joined as I am every Friday by our Expert Gabe Moretti who's gonna pick every game on the slate for this Sunday and hopefully get them all right game What's going on? Always a pleasure Greg. Let's do this thing. We begin in Washington where the Redskins are a point and a half favorite right now over the Atlanta Falcons people are loving Washington and the Record in Atlanta trying to climb back into that playoff race It's hard not to like what the Washington Redskins are doing right now five in two straight up five in two Against the spread. There's been so much talk about what Gruden has been doing wrong Let's talk about what Gruden has been doing right, and I'm not talking about John, but I'm talking about Jay I've always been a fan of Jay Gruden, but I think he's doing his best job that he's ever done this year Changing the offense and adjusting from having a quarterback like her cousins who wants to throw the ball around and put up stats To a quarterback who just wants to move the sticks and win football games. How about Adrian Peterson?  I said they weren't they weren't really a one-and-four football team All right. They had a ton of injuries, but you know, they had a favorable schedule They played a lot of bad teams in Atlanta I don't trust these domes sort of finesse teams where they're going outside to the East Coast at this time of the year The grass slows them down a little bit. Remember Julio Jones slipped in the end zone against the Philadelphia Eagles Maybe it doesn't slip the Eagles. They're not Super Bowl champions right now I look at I like Washington in this game and I'm looking at a Washington football team that's just coming together I know a lot of people don't believe in Washington, but they're winning football games the right way They have a great defensive line.  I got a five-and-two football team Taken on Atlanta Falcon football team has never been in a row team early two and five ATS Give me the Washington Redskins


I haven't been able to do one of these in such a long time. So I'm really excited to be able to do what is my current favorites and for you to see the things that I have been loving for the past few months. As most of you know, I kind of have been dealing with some health things going back and forth. So I'm excited to be able to bring these to you. But before we do that, I always show you what I have on and that's how we'll start today and we will start with the numbering system that I have one through ever many products we talk about and we've got a lot of products to talk about today that I'm excited about. So I'm going to show you what I have on. We'll number those and you can go down to the description box and look for the number and next it will be the product with any information you may need and the link if you choose to if you choose to shop that way. Let's get going. Okay for today's shirt. I just put on this really fun button down kind of a light shirt as far as its weight. It's got a cute little ruffle sleeve right here. It comes just as a cap sleeve kind of there and I just tight it at the waist and I paired it with a pair of my new favorite jeans which are these white jeans and I just have barely been enjoying all of these different color jeans that I've been getting lately and these are a very straight fit gene. They're they are a skinny gene but as far as them being kind of curvy or you know what not they're extremely stretchy. I should say that but they are kind of a straighter gene just so you know that as well.  It's ridiculous but if you do have a little bit bigger booty that you might want to size up just one just to accommodate that and I am very jealous of you just so you know that so we're going to go ahead. We're going to look at all the other stuff and get going here on the rest of the video. I am really surprised at how many palettes I have in this particular haul video. I found this palette and I'm so excited to bring it to you because all of you know that the majority of the palettes on the market these days are very warm toned palettes and a lot of us can't wear those oranges those yellows those really warm browns that they have in those palettes. So I found this Delancey gray smoke 16 color eyeshadow palette and I've been wearing it like crazy. I have been having just so much fun with it. You can see that it has all kinds of cool tones up here. Even the brown is a neutral brown which I love absolutely love it and what I also like about it is that these are on a medium pigment side which means that you're going to be able to build them up but they're not going to get too built up too quickly say if you got too much on your brush. So there's not a ton of fallout like there might be with some other high-end shadows which I like as well and then we have some just absolutely gorgeous metallics in here. They're just so pretty. So this palette to me was a homerun. I there was not one in here that I didn't like and for the price I thought it was exceptionally good. Also so excited to see that alter ego came out with the midsummer palette and this has been everywhere. So I'm not going to take a lot of time to tell you guys about it but just know that it is pretty close on an alternative to the Anastasia Nuvo palette and the really only difference to me is the packaging and the way that they're laid out but I love this new midsummer palette. I love the greens that are in here. They just seem to be these greens that just really brighten up your face and are so pretty. You have khaki greens in here and you have this beautiful soft lilac in here. I just think it's so pretty great quality on these as well and I did use these in my last video my previous video to this one and I compared the two of these and you can tell the difference and you can tell the difference when you look at the price tag. So I definitely feel like that was a really good one and then Catrice. I love Catrice you guys. I talk about Catrice all the time. I think it's one of the better brands at the drug store. They came out with a whole lot of new palettes that are this size and let me see. I think these are all 8 pan. I'm pretty sure they're all 8 pan and I do have the rose one on my eyes today. So gorgeous. I love that they gave you a lot of lights but they took you into the darks too so that if you're deeper toned you can warm up that look or deepen up that look not necessarily warm. They do have several other colors that I didn't have in front of me. I don't even know what I've done with them but this one was the rose one that I just showed you so gorgeous. The colors are just outstanding. The formula is outstanding. I really love what they've done with these. This one is the nude one. They also have an all matte one which I thought was just awesome because how many times do companies come out with all matte ones. They don't hardly ever. So I am excited about these palettes. I think they're ones that you are going to love and I do like the quality. The mats in them are superb for blending out not getting patchy not skipping. I just really have been enjoying all of these besides the matte one. I can't think of what the other ones are but you're going to really like them. I think if you can find a color scheme that you're really in love with. Now I do have one fail this month as far as palettes go and that was from the joa color hall and I'm not sure which one this is but oh first dance this one is set up a lot like the urban decay ones are the thing is is that almost every single one of the shimmers in here is just it's yucky they're worthless as far as I'm concerned. There's no payoff to them. You cannot build them up. I did notice that this one right here that is like the ones that are in hood of beauties palettes this one with the kind of beads in there. That one is a duo chrome. However, it doesn't stay a duo chrome. It just mixes. So what I mean by that is on your finger and I don't even know if you'll be able to see that or not. But as you pick it up on your finger you have this duo chrome but and even when you swatch it you have a duo chrome but once you start to blend it together it no longer becomes a duo chrome. It's just one color that's mixed for a couple of different chrome colors. So I was really disappointed in these and I'm not planning on getting any of the other ones. Joe is not my favorite brand ever. I did also try their mascara this month and it was a fail for me as well. The new mascara they have I have tried their prime. I think it's prime nation or prime foundation something like that and it's not really working for me either. So I'm kind of at the point where I'm like I'm not sure if I'm going to be picking up anything from Joe anymore. If you have stuff that you know of that has just been a home run for you. I am happy to try them out and see whether or not they will work for me. I'm always open to those suggestions.  Okay I was hanging all of my pants or my skirts on a hanger like this which you can do but it has a tendency to make the waist of your skirts kind of a mess when you're hanging them like this. I found online these clips that you can put right down onto your hanger and they turn into those great pant clips that we get at the stores. You can also make this a double one one set of them on this upper deck right here or whatever you want to call it and one set right down here on this lower rung. So these are great. I have absolutely loved getting my closet in order. I'm actually a little bit OCD about these and having all of my family's clothes on one color and of course it's going to have to be purple but they have a million colors if you're interested in these at all. I am really excited that we finally get to start experiencing summer. I think that's going to end up turning off really hot really quickly unfortunately. However, I did in this video want to bring you three different pairs of sandals because I have some sandals that have turned out to be so fun cute sandals and they're very comfortable too and I probably have brought these to you in past videos but I wanted to make sure that I brought them to you again today and I'm not going to be modeling these right now. I'm kind of a little bit unsteady with my pots at the moment.  They do come in lots of colors. What I also like about them is that they have this little about a one and a half inch heel but these have a ton of cushion in them. They don't hurt my feet. They don't pinch across you know the instep right there. I really have been enjoying these. They do have the elastic so they're going to fit just about everybody that wears them. If you do have a wider foot these might not work for you. These are so much fun and I have loved every second of them. They're just so darn cute and really go with so many things. I just really love these. I also do know that I showed you I think in my very last video these sandals from Skechers and the reason I'm showing them to you again is because these have been so easy for me to wear even though they have about a two and a half three inch heel on them the heel the platform up here is about an inch. So it takes that heel down quite a bit but I love how comfortable these are again across the instep. They don't pinch me. I can wear them all day. I feel great wearing them all day and I have just been absolutely loving these and I'm so glad that I got this pair as well. I really have shied away from getting this bone color. I don't know why I have several different other kinds of shoes in this color but I love the detailing on this one thing that these were Skechers and especially sandals. So I really love these and I think these are also some that you guys are going to love and lastly I think I showed these to you last month but again I want to show them to you because we are coming up on sandals season.  So I am really really in love with these and I just ordered another pair of these because of how comfortable the black ones were. I ordered ordered them in another color. These of course because they don't have that higher heel are the most comfortable out of all of them but I do think that probably the Skechers have the best width on them. If you do have a wide foot these would be these might not be for you. They might be a little bit too narrow for you but all of these are really true to size and even some of them do have a wide width of their own. I love these sandals all of them and I'm so excited about them. Now I was going to tell you about my jewelry earlier and I missed out on that sorry. So here we go. Well, let's talk about the jewelry. The jewelry is diamond cut silver. So these are just regular chains but they are in a diamond cut. What that means is they either have 9 to 5 silver overlay or they are 9 to 5 silver and they actually have this diamond cut that looks like a cubic zirconium or diamonds that just glisten. I love the hoops and then this set right here is this set that comes as a set of necklaces and it comes as the set of two and I love these as well. I wear these all the time. I'll wear one at a time. I'll wear them both at the same time. I'll put other necklaces with them. They are so so versatile. I love them. I feel like they are just primo for anybody while we're sitting here and we're talking about that diamond cut. I have to tell you about this gorgeous bracelet that I got now. This is in a flower motif with the silver color and I don't often find things that come in silver that I'm really really impressed with but I am really impressed with this. I love how it catches the light and how beautiful it carries off the light because of the CZs in it or the rhinestones in it just so pretty. I think this one is about a 7 inch just really beautiful works great for me. I'm not sure if they have other ones that are bigger sizes or smaller sizes just go take a peek at the listing and you should be able to find that out. One of the other things I wanted to show you as far as jewelry goes is I have absolutely through this whole year fallen in love with these hoops. Now they are a chunky hoop as you can see but what is the great thing about them is they come in such a variety of sizes and all of the sizes come in all of the colors which is great rose gold silver and gold and what's great about them beyond the colors and beyond the sizes is that they are hollow so they're super duper light not heavy at all by the way these earrings that I do have on today. They're not heavy either. I am a person that always keeps their eye out on these earrings and to find out whether or not they're going to be heavy because I don't want my ears pulled down. I've seen so many of my female members of my family with their ears pulled down and it looks terrible but yes as I age I want to make sure that that's not tugging too hard on my ears and these don't. They're very light and I think you're going to really like all right back to a couple of beauty items. I got this set of two brushes and they're both very fluffy brushes you can see that one is a little bit bigger than the other one but I've been using them nonstop for powder and blush and bronzer and I really like them. I think that there are some of the softest brushes that I have ever used of the rose gold handle on them and of course the pink brush or the blush pink. Say that 10 times blush pink brush on the end and really fun really great way to just buff out all of your powders. I have been having all kinds of fun with these and I love that they came in these two sizes and even though you might not need both sizes when you get them you're like okay I can find a use for these so this was really fun for me. I also wanted to tell you that I am so happy that I found this sleek anti humidity shine coat. Okay this product right here the color well dream coat that everybody talks about now you don't have to use this every single time you wash your hair you do it about every third time you wash your hair maybe every other time if your hair is really coarse but this right here not only is it an anti frizz product it is a shine product and it is a heat protectant but this one that is the one that's called sleek is a fraction of the cost and it does the exact same thing and the ingredients are pretty darn close and I just feel like definitely pick this one up if you've been wanting to try the color well I realized that our budgets don't always work into like $26 for one product but you're going to get such a price break that I think you'll really be happy that I got to show you this one so I definitely wanted to show you this and tell you that it is every bit the beautiful shine coat that the color well is and the sleek one is just so great one of the products that absolutely shocked me the past two months probably maybe even three months I've been you know using it using it using it because I wanted to make sure you know sometimes when you recommend products you get to using them longer and as time goes by you realize well maybe it wasn't that great in all kinds of weather and that's what I wanted to find out about this this is the Milani skin quench hydrating hyaluronic acid and coconut water take take note of that coconut because if you're allergic to coconut you don't want to get this one but it has 50% more than their last tubes did and I love love love this primer this primer to me is so much like the touch of primer that I fell in love with not very long ago it's also so much like the Calla Ray one that everybody had lost their noodle about I think that this is a great primer what I love about it is it does have a little bit of a grip to it too so you're getting almost like one of those hydro grip from milk makeup or the elf gripping primer so you're getting hydration you're getting the longevity of your makeup you're getting the poor feeling and you're getting that grip what more could you ask for in a primer I just have really been enjoying this one by the way if you're an oily gal you might not like this as much as somebody that is normal to dry you might need to skip it now you guys I want to show you this you guys know that the alpha skincare body renewal lotion the 12% glycolic acid this is what I have been telling everybody to use for years this goes back a very long time for me a bottle after bottle of using it on my scaly dry skin but what I didn't know is that alpha skincare they have a bunch of other products so guess what I did I bought this product right here this is the Alpha skin care real results 15% retinol product and I do really like this I use it in between using my Trentinoin which is you know the powerhouse prescription one but I want to kind of keep that up as I go along through the week I do have several different retinols that I really like that I use but this one I have come to really like as well now this is a smaller tube so you don't need very much and what I would do with this because it is a smaller tube is I'm using it strategically so I have the deeper lines that are right here above my eyes and out here on you know smile lines out there and I've been really kind of just using it strategically my lip lines oh my goodness my vertical lip lines are out of control these days but this has really been really good in between treatment so I love having something like this and if this one doesn't break the bank and that's even better when you're looking at something for me that is cost effective and also something that works really good and I've been enjoying the heck out of this one I wanted to also show you this this is a big daddy this is a Bifida Biome Ampule from Manno I don't know how to say it MA NYO that has a period in there so MA period and why oh okay the reason that I am in love with this is it's a big huge bottle and this time of year is the time of year when I want to really give the rest of my body that starts showing I mean I don't show my legs I'll show my arms I don't never show my belly to anybody during the winter months little barely my husband but I really do start to treat those other areas that get that creepy alligator skin I start to treat them a lot and so I got this because as you may or may not know Bifida is the ingredient that is in Lancome Genophique and Estee Lauder night repair the two best selling serums on the market across the world those sell like hotcakes and this one has that Bifida product in it that those only have like 10% this is chocked full of Bifida so you not only can use this on your face if you want to but I use this everywhere all over my arms all over my legs it's a huge bottle splurge drown yourself in it I just think it's so nice I also have been really treating my body with these two products that are at the drugstore that I feel like are super effective I heard about this from a gal on tiktok and if I can remember her handle I will put it down below more than likely I won't be able to find it because I did look for it already and I just couldn't find it but she talked about how these two products right here from Goldbaugh have changed her crepey skin game she talks about how when she gets out of the shower she will put the crepe corrector on and this one has Omega fatty acids antioxidants and botanicals in it 82% of women visibly saw improvements in their crepey skin and just two days which I don't know about but I'm sure I'm really noticing a difference in my crepey skin it's definitely getting better as it gets exfoliated and hydrated and then this one right here is the Radiance Renewal Radiance Renewal hydrating lotion this one is the one that exfoliate hydrates and locks in the moisture barrier locks in the moisture into skin for the moisture barrier for 24 hours and I do feel like you stay hydrated for that long now I know that some of you know that I recently had surgery and I have been using both of these and I love them I really really love them because my skin is getting so dry and anybody that's been through menopause unless you are the exception after you've been through menopause your skin gets so dry and this is like a one two punch actually it's a one two three punch because I'll use the Bifida ampule on it and then I'll use one of these lotions and then I'll use the other one on top of them and I just have found that my skin is really soft really supple and it's changing it's not that alligator skin so much anymore so really am happy to recommend those to you now if you can't reach on your back and I've shown this before but I'm going to show it again because this thing has been a lifesaver this is an applicator for your lotions or your tanning products onto your back and it works so good it really works really good you have the handles on either and it's long enough to go around my butt and be able to get back there anywhere I need to get and I love it even my husband likes using it and the nice thing about it is after we're done you can throw it in the washer and it comes out just as beautiful as this every single time this is a not limber person's dream because I'm not very limber but boy I can get my lotion wherever I want it to go with this so definitely like that so much alright I want to show you a pair of heels and I know that not everybody can wear heels and they can be you know challenging if you have back problems or anything but there are times when I just love wearing heels I'm I can't wear heels all the time either but there are times when I really want to wear heels to a very dressy occasion or not but what I found are these and the reason that I was so excited to show you these is their color there are so few companies that sell colored shoes anymore as far as pretty bright colors and yeah maybe I'm a little bit nuts I don't know but I like wearing this kind of thing because it just makes me feel pretty when my shoes and my dress match and more my shoes and my bag matches one of the two and if you're talking about needing something to be really comfortable I have something next that I will help with that and wearing high heels but they're about I would say they're about a three inch maybe three and a half inch heel on there and yeah they're not the most comfortable but like I said there are times when I want to wear a heel and I want it to be matching and I was so happy to find these I have a couple of royal blue dresses and they went so pretty with them and I got to wear them and I was like felt really special felt really good anyway I really do like these now let me show you what I'm talking about when I talk about something that's gonna help you with these now I think I may have shown these to you before these right here are a pad that sits down on the bottom of your heel or the ball of your foot right there and this little thing right here these little holes right here go your toes go in them so you don't show this part doesn't show up through your shoe but right here you have all that extra padding for your feet in your shoes they don't slip around they don't come off I don't mind wearing them in between my toes and it drives me crazy to normally have anything in between my toes but these were so good and I'm so happy to find them and now that I'm thinking about it I have shown you guys these before white black blush and I think what the other color is a bone color or a cream color so you get a bunch of them in there you could even if you wanted to and you were having some extra pain in your feet you could wear two of them you could put two of them on and have the extra padding in there I love these I think they're genius and have really been enjoying them all right this right here is the elf's dupe to the benefit roller lash and I was never a fan of the benefit roller lash but I'm a super fan of the roller lash from L called lash and roll okay I really like this it's what I have on for a mascara today it builds so well on itself and it's easy to take off at night but it doesn't smudge and it doesn't flake and I love that about it got kind of a just a little bit of a curve right there on the wand it is a plastic bristle brush or the silicone bristle brush but I like that the bristles are a little bit smaller as well because then you can catch every little hair you have or every little latch that you have and again you can build and build and build and build and it gives you great lashes so since I got this I'm been using any other mascara I did try like I said I did try one from Joe that came out very recently and it was a comfy mess and so I'm like no going back to the elf so this is a winner for me and I definitely want to let you know that if you do wear the benefit roller lash you might like this one every bit as much and it's going to save you a whole lot of change this product right here I showed this in my video just a couple of videos ago I mean it may have been my last one this is the stands out makeup sponge and this is dry right now you can use this what you can use it dry whichever you usually what they tell you to do is to the first two or three times two or three times that you use it you go ahead and you get it damp and then really ring it out it doesn't stay wet very long at all but it's like a memory foam here but it's the softest memory foam that you have ever used like soft soft soft stuff and this will perfect my makeup I mean I love my AOA sponges the the pink ones that are the dupe for the beauty blender sponges I like the beauty blender sponges but I think the AOA are way softer but I think that the stands out might be the best sponge that I've ever used to put on my makeup now I can tell you that I had one of these four years ago when she very first brought it out she actually sent me one in PR and I used it once and did not like it and put it to the site and that's I just guess because I was so used to the beauty blender or the beauty sponges that I just really wasn't impressed with this but I did watch a tutorial using this and she used it for just kind of you know blending out her makeup as she went along not even necessarily the whole you know application of her foundation and her concealer which she did do but it was more about how it made everything looked airbrush as she went along so she would put on her foundation and her concealer then put her powder on then go over it with this sponge then she'd put on her bronzer then she'd go over it with her sponge then she'd put on her highlighter or her blush and she'd go over it with her sponge it made her makeup look like perfection she just looked like she was absolutely airbrushed all over the place and I thought you know what I probably should give this a try again because I was so impressed with that tutorial and it really truly does make a world of difference in my skin and in how my makeup looks in blending together now I have been one to take a brush like this and really blend everything together to make sure that my makeup was kind of blended together anyway but there is nothing like using this and going over and just making sure everything is blended together with this sponge this is awesome okay let's round this video out with showing you this tool that I got and yes you're not seeing things this looks just like a gua sha tool and I have used gua sha for a long time to try and keep my gels at bay and the waddle of my neck at bay and I have really loved it however I saw this product on Amazon and I was like oh my goodness I bet that works really good so what this is is this is an electronic or battery operated it's rechargeable so you don't have to have batteries for it excuse me it's a rechargeable gua sha device so I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to turn it on it has four settings of high and low might be three might be three so it has those settings but as you can see right there hopefully you can see that it just turned blue so blue is the cool setting and you can do all of the things that you do with your gua sha you know get into your eyes give them a good massage but what's great about it is not only are you breaking apart those fibers that really can make our skin look pulled in certain places also if you know anything about gua sha it really does help to really activate the blood to the area of wherever you're treating and it also does help to tighten the muscles well what it does when you have one that's doing massage is it feels fantastic for one thing but it also stimulates that blood supply even more that blood supply is what helps to rebuild collagen and elastin in our face so if we're doing this on a consistent basis we're going to notice that our skin is going to be more radiant because you have that blood supply but it's also going to be tighter over time because you're activating the muscles in the elastin and the collagen okay so there is the blue right there and then you push it one more time and it's going to turn red and red is for warmth so I loved this while I was going through all of my surgery and everything because now it's getting warm in my hand and I would just do this forever because if I had a headache or whatever I could turn it on cool and it really helped the headache but I could turn it on warm and it helped so much with sinus pressure and everything and I am in love with this I bought three different kinds of these at different price points in order to be able to try them out for you and this particular one is the one that I felt like was your best value and also delivered what I wanted which was the different speeds of being low medium high and then the heat and the cool really really great product and you don't have to have batteries again just charge it up and go and the charge lasts for a long time this was a really really good purchase for me and I think that you might like it too all right I think that's it for today's video I hope that you did enjoy seeing all of the things that I've been loving that I haven't been able to bring to you in other videos very recently thanks so much for being with me today I love you guys so very much hope that the sun is shining and things are going really good where you're at take care of yourselves and come see me really soon in my next video goodbye my friends.


We cannot teach people anything. We can only help them discover it within themselves. Galileo. They say if you speak to somebody at the level of the mind, you'll speak to the mind. If you speak through your heart, you'll speak to the heart.  Today, we're going to share with you our journey to discovering the power of flotation for managing service-induced stress. Some of you may be curious, what accent is that? Others may be thinking, he doesn't look like a soldier. And some of you may just be waiting for someone else to speak. I invite you to suspend your judgement, to stay present and let's explore this path to inner wellness. I'm Michael, and this is my partner Beck. My journey started in 2010, when I was deployed to Afghanistan as part of mentoring task force. I was an infantry section machine gunner. My initial experience of Afghanistan was one of sweeping valleys, snow-capped mountains, and the joy of little kids coming up to us with smiles asking for lollies and bottles of water as we did patrols. Unfortunately, the reality of war is that it's not all postcards. And on the 24th of August, I was involved in a three and a half hour contact where my section 2IC was shot and killed. I was returned to Australia, suffering full body involuntary muscular twitches. I was to the point where trying to drink from a water bottle or eating my food, I'd spill it on myself. I struggled lighting a cigarette. The conventional treatments I was put on numbed me, and as you can see, made me gain weight. And just withdraw from my friends and my family. I didn't want to attend Christmas. I didn't want to attend birthday parties. I just went into a shell of myself. I was put on medications and started drinking a lot of alcohol. I was drinking around a bottle of alcohol a night just to numb some of the feelings and the thoughts that I would have at night. The medications stopped me from feeling anything. Fair enough, it stopped me from feeling too much about my deployment. But when you're sad, you're supposed to be able to cry. And there was a lot of times when I'd be thinking about things and I'd say to my partner, I really feel like I need to cry, but I just physically can't. This was the medications and this was the treatment that I was prescribed. I was suicidal and homicidal. Thankfully, the support of my partner Beck gave me the strength to turn around and move on to a path of healing using alternative therapies. And I'll allow her to talk a bit more about that. So our journey has had so many ups and downs. As you can see from this photo, being a carer for someone with PTSD can take a really heavy toll on even a healthy person. This is what I call the ripple effect. I was depressed. I was lonely. I'd isolated myself. I suffered from so many illnesses and I had debilitating back pain that would leave me bedridden for days and months on end. Sorry, weeks on end. And it really wasn't helpful for my caring for Michael. But I did believe that my only priority as a carer was to care for Michael. My stuff, it wasn't even an issue. It just became backseat sort of stuff. And when doctors told me that Michael would be on psychotropic medication for the rest of his life, I knew that things had to change. He was 25. And from what I could see, the supposed gold standard treatment was only making him dramatically worse. So I went searching for real solutions and I had to lead by example. So I turned to Google. And I got lost down that rabbit hole for a solid 12 months. I watched. I read. I researched. I contacted world leading academics to find real solutions. And to my surprise, there was a lot of acceptance for alternative treatments in other coalition countries including the US and Canada. Google introduced me to a whole new world of healthcare. Food is medicine. Cannabis is medicine. It's the importance of having a healthy endocannabinoid system, which I'd never even heard of before, yet alone even knew that I had one. Yoga and meditation as a spiritual growth and healing tool. Peer-to-peer mentoring programs helped us see that we weren't alone in this at all. And eventually, flotation, when I heard Joe Rogan speaking about it, I knew that the benefits were profound. But it took me six months to convince Michael to get in a tank. So two of the most important points that I've learnt over this continual journey is to take responsibility of your own personal health and well-being. If we had continued to follow the doctor's orders, I have no doubt that Michael would have taken his life by now, or at least had multiple attempts. And number two is to find multiple modalities that resonate with you and to use them together to enhance their overall benefits. For us personally, we've found the two most symbiotic are cannabis and flotation. But I'll allow Michael to explain flotation. Thanks. So as you've heard, there's a range of alternative treatments that have actually helped me regain a quality of life. But there's a select range of things that I actually attribute solely to flotation. One of the main things in particular that I noticed after my very first float was the overdue rest that I needed. As I'm sure a lot of you are aware, veterans suffer from insomnia, night sweats, night terrors. These things don't allow you to get a proper night's rest. And so for me, as well as the adrenal fatigue from being in a combat zone for eight and a half months, I found that getting in that tank and hopping back out, it was like I caught up on four years' worth of sleep that I'd just been missing out on. That allowed me to reconnect and almost come back to life as who I was. Another massive part of floating is it's helped me reconnect with my emotions. For a long time, as I said, I was numb. I didn't feel anything. I wasn't a proper partner to beck. And so through floating, I've learned, re-learned how to be happy, confident, how to love again. These are all emotions that were gone to me. With complimenting through cannabis and over time, I've gradually been able to, in the tank, get to a point where I'm now starting to reprocess some of the issues or traumas that I experienced in Afghanistan and view them more in a positive frame of mind. And this has allowed me to not have such harsh triggers when I am remembering or reminiscing on things or it comes to an anniversary. We're now trying to start an organization or have started an organization in Australia called Weeded Warrior, and we're active advocates for a range of modalities, yoga, flotation, nutrition, cannabis, trying to educate not just veterans, but the broader service community about how you can manage your service problems and regain some form of a quality of life. I would ask all of you who are either own float tank centers or are starting float tank centers to consider investing in veterans. I'll invite them into your place and provide this experience that has immeasurable benefit. We're grateful for the opportunity to be here and I'd like to thank you all for listening to us.


This is the end I want right so dirty half-inch here quarter-inch here. Yeah beautiful sight I got half inch stainless steel quarter-inch all 316 stainless. I should keep me going for a while Where do I put 5000 rivets oh good I got helpers


Hello and welcome to this new series OISOM Extended. We started with talking inside OISOM, we spoke about a few members and that's what drove me to think of talking about few people in the field of environment, in the field of air quality and also some achievers over the period of time. We wanted to share some stories and how we have been working so far with them. So this series OISOM Extended tends to bring out those stories in front of you. So today in our first episode, I am honored to welcome Dr. Srikanth Sola. He is the CEO and co-founder of Devik Earth and he's also a cardiologist. So I know you must be having a lot of questions. So without wasting any time, let me welcome Dr. Sola and hear what he has been doing so far with Devik Earth and his stories so far. So welcome Dr. Sola. Thanks Ayan. It's a pleasure to be here. Dr. Sola, would you please help us understand how this idea of Devik Earth came around and your experience as far as as a cardiologist, how did you come up with something like this and just explain about what Devik Earth does? Sure, sure, sure. So Devik Earth is a green tech company. We specialize in novel equipment that helps to improve air quality over large areas. So unlike say air purifiers and other approaches, our system uses pulsed radio waves, pulsed Wi-Fi to improve air quality. This came to me actually back in 2008. I was a cardiologist who had moved from the United States to India. I wanted to come back and serve my mother country and what I found, I was working at the Satya Sai Hospital in Bangalore. It's a charity hospital. All the patients are treated for free and we treat primarily the poor lower economic status of society. I was seeing too many patients with heart attacks due to air pollution. I had read about this in my textbooks. I had heard about this in medical conferences. I myself have spoken at so many conferences and was aware of the link between air pollution and heart disease. But I never seen it so often as I had right from literally my first week. And it occurred to me, you know, when we open up a blockage, when somebody gets a heart attack, it's because they have a block in their heart. And when we do an angioplasty operation or bypass operation, we can, you know, clear those blockages or bypass the blockage. But, you know, as a cardiologist, how many angioplasty operations can I do, you know, to serve the larger population? Literally, I think at that time it was 7 million deaths per year. It's just a drop in the bucket really. 7 million deaths due to air pollution, which 50% are due to heart disease. That's the data. And I realize, man, I mean, it's what I'm doing is great, but it's not affecting the larger population. Luckily, I had a great background in the US in biomedical engineering. I done a lot of work with big companies like Philips and GE Healthcare, Siemens, other companies. And in fact, some of the products that I helped to develop the new technologies are still in use and are now involved in, I think, hundreds of thousands of patients every year around the world. So I knew how to work, you know, how to make new things. As a cardiologist, I was also doing MRI at the heart, which is pulsed radio waves. And that's where the idea of can we use pulsed radio waves to improve air quality? How does it work? You know what happens in nature? Like we've been in lockdown for a while.  So what happens is after a few days, you'll see a layer of dust on your vehicle. In nature, what happens is those dust particles, we can call them pollutant particles, they have small charges, positive and negative charges, just like the magnets that we have in our school of physics labs. And they collide together. And then because of increased weight, they settle down. And if your car is in the way or your two wheeler, they settle onto your car. And that happens with the visible dust that we see. But it also happens with the microscopic dust that we cannot see. But what scientists call PM 10 and PM 2.5 particles that are just 10 or two and a half microns in size, 40 times smaller than the size of your hair. And that's what goes into the body and what's causing all these heart attacks in patients. So I thought, well, can we speed up this process? And it turns out that because these dust particles or rather these pollutant particles are already charged, if we can apply an additional charge, then we can speed them up. And that's how the idea of using pulse to radio waves came about because a continuous radio wave like what you have in your Wi-Fi, that's a continuous energy Wi-Fi, TV, radio, cell phone and all that. But pulse to radio waves has this ability to increase the amount of charges on certain types of particles. The good news for us is that it only affects the smallest particles, anything less than 20 microns in diameter. So we're clearing away certain pollutant particles. And we're also able to clear away certain gaseous pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, which often make up what we call secondary PMs. Not PM as in prime minister, but secondary PM as in pollutant as in micro particles. So that's how our technology works. That's totally impressive. I mean, it's great how your journey has been like from what you were just saying back in the US and now here. So it's wonderful to listen to everything. So tell me something like this is relatively a newer concept here in India. So how challenging has it been like as far as the acceptance is considered and how has it been like when you compared to any conventional methods for this? Sure. Any new technology will have its challenges. It takes a while to get accepted. I have 40 plus publications in peer reviewed scientific journals. I served as an editor reviewer on many peer reviewed scientific journals myself. We want to see peer reviewed publications and so forth. It takes time to do that. The good news is that the data has been very, very strong. And you know, people say, Dr. Srikant, you started this in 2008, but David Earth didn't start till 2018. What were you doing all that time? And I said, well, you know, first of all, I was a cardiologist. Second is, you know, as a physician, I've seen a lot of promising technologies come and go. And so it took me 10 years to make sure. Number one, it's effective. Number two, it's safe. And number three, it has to work under all sorts of conditions. So it has to be robust, right? And so that took a while. And then what was happening is I realized we actually had hard data from the hospital where I was working at showing that when our system was on compared to days when it was off, the number of people from the surrounding communities who are coming to the hospital with asthma exacerbations, heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots, they actually dropped by as much as 30 or 40%. And I thought, man, there's no medicine or procedure I can do that will make such a huge difference on literally at that time, lacks and lacks of people every single day. And that's what pushed me to move out of taking care of the heart to, to something much larger. That's great. I understand and there could be some portions with as a technology, it makes a little challenging for people to accept. But I think you coming from medical fraternity makes it more, you know, gain that trust. And I think that makes it right. I mean, we had a wonderful project at IIT Kanpur recently, the national aerosol lab, which tested the technology under very formal conditions. And it showed exactly what I had just now explained, gluten particles, micro pollutants floating around in the, in the seal chamber, you apply the technology, the charge increases, they accelerate their agglomeration, and they settle down faster. And that's what we're doing. And, and, you know, the papers on this will come about very shortly in, in the journals, but it's just wonderful when you see it work in the field, when you turn it on at a customer site and you see pollution come down by 40, 50, 60, 70%. And we're talking heavy industries, steel plants, cement, thermal power.  And the funnest I think was a Guruji satsang in the Himalayas before the pandemic started, you know, 2000, 3000 people coming every day to Rishikesh for an ashram and they want to clean air to breathe. So we get to work with all sorts of people and that makes it a lot of fun. Okay, that's impressive. I mean, that's, wow, it's fascinating to hear, you know, the application and how the results are coming. So, Dr. Sola, I wanted to ask you something like you have seen the lockdown and the impacts that it has on the air pollution, right? There have been several studies, which have been highlighting how it has reduced drastically. There are a lot of moments, a lot of things. So, as a country in India, I mean, again, when you know, the lockdown gets lifted, you see there are certain spikes sometimes, and it again goes back to the trend. Do you feel that there are some policy level changes that we need to make overall to reduce the air pollution impact? So what are your thoughts on that? Yes, you know, we always say that whenever you have a problem, you should don't just throw technology at it. The first thing is to, in the case of air pollution, is to reduce pollution at the source. You know, whether that means increasing renewable energy generation, reducing pollution that comes from factories, having more efficient transportation, perhaps electric vehicles, you know, different things can work, but even better solid waste management will make a difference in air quality. But what we need is science-based policy decisions. And for that, we need good data on air quality. And that's where, you know, companies like OISOM comes into play because we need that data to guide these kind of policy decisions. And then, when necessary, these two technologies like OISOM and David Earth can be placed together to provide that additional remediation wherever it's needed. Now, there are also some other situations where it doesn't matter what kind of policies you have, pollution is going to be bad. Take, for example, the annual California wildfires in the western coast of the United States. And it's probably made worse because of climate change. That's what our scientists are telling us. And I think that's true. But that's something where technology can play a huge role to provide air quality, better air quality for millions. That's absolutely correct and well put. I mean, definitely yes, technology can play a part. But again, this has to be a lot of policy-level decisions. Yes, the focus will always be on reducing pollution at the source. And that should be the way. Yes. So now, let me just focus on your company. I've seen a lot of new trends coming on the social media, you guys having some fright upon. So tell me, how has it changed like after the lockdown and pre-lockdown? We all have been doing this work from home thing. And how has the culture adapted? What has been your experience with this? Yes, I think when you look, if you talk to most CEOs, one of the things that they're going to work on, they're going to work on revenue generation, because you have to keep the company afloat. They're going to work on the product, the technology. And that's a big part of my work as well. They're going to work on strategy. But the fourth thing, which is really important, is the team and building that team culture, hiring people whose values fit the company values and testing them during the recruitment process to make sure they fit your cultural values. So we are very clear about what our values are. And then building that cohesiveness through different types of activities that help to bring that camaraderie. I think one of the things that I love about working with the team at David Gehrth is that we're also passionate about what we do. We know that we have a technology that has the potential to benefit millions of lives, and that really drives us to work as a unit every day. I think that's great to come from some leadership to the same thought.  And I totally agree. I mean, passion is something that is very important when it comes to working on such a crucial aspect. So I think that's great. So before we wind up this quick interview, I want to know from you, what's next for David Gehrth? What are you seeing in the future? Where do you see these technologies being used as an application in India or maybe in the world? What's your vision? Sure. I grew up in the United States. My institutions like Stanford and these kind of places. I worked at top hospitals like the Cleveland Clinic. I've always been at the best of the best. And my goal is to make David Gehrth the global leading green technology company within the next five years. What we have done for air pollution, we've already tested and proven for water pollution. And we're looking forward to rolling that out later in the year. But there are a lot of really exciting applications for this tech. We've had inquiries from metro cars to improve air quality within the metros. We've had inquiries from NASA saying, look, we are putting a lunar spacecraft on the moon in 2025. And what happens is when these spacecraft land on the surface of the moon, there's a lot of lunar dust, remnants of old asteroids and meters, but it's not gone through any kind of weathering. It's very abrasive. And the moon's gravity is only one sixth of that of the earth. So once that spacecraft lands, that dust kicks up and then it tends to float around as it orbits near the surface of the moon. And then it causes instrument failure or malfunction. This is what happened to ISRO's Chandrayaan machine two years ago, the same thing. And it's been a problem. So NASA is looking at ways to incorporate this kind of technology into their next mission. That's really fun. The challenge, of course, is that for NASA, every single gram counts. So we have to take what is very robust and very strong and very, you know, has a very high uptown time and make it jump like this into a very small, lightweight size. But that's fun. That's a lot of that. That must be exciting. I'm getting goosebumps, you know, imagining the entire thing deploying at the moon. And that's fantastic. I mean, that should be great. I mean, Dr. Sola, this, this was fun, you know, knowing about your vision and your so far about David Cut. So any final comments before we wrap up anything you want to share with the youngsters or anything watching this video? I think find a great team. If you have a great team, you will succeed wherever you go, whatever you're interested in, and don't leave that team, make a be part of a great team and make that team better. Yeah, I think that's the best way to put it, what you guys must be listening to. So thank you so much, Dr. Sola, for your time. This was, this was fun. This was fantastic. And I hope we have these interactions more often. Thanks, my pleasure. So, guys, this was Dr. Srikanth Sola from David Cut. Look forward to our websites from David Cut as well as Ozone. We have been doing some projects together and we've been deploying our solutions together. And this has just given us some wonderful results. If you have any queries about the technology, you can hit up to Dr. Sola or you can ask me, anyone and we will be happy to connect to you. So, this was the first episode of Ozone Extended. We'll be coming up with more such episodes. Thank you. Stay safe and stay happy.


In this presentation, we will start to construct the statement of cash flows using the indirect method focusing in on cash and net income. This is going to be the resources we will have. We'll have the comparative balance sheet, the income statement, and we're going to have some added information in order to construct the statement of cash flows. We're mainly going to be working with a worksheet that was put together from a comparative balance sheet. That's where we will start. So we're going to find a home. This is going to be our worksheet. We have the two periods. So we have the current year. We've got the prior year and we've got the difference between those activities. Now our goal here is to basically just find a home for every component on this difference section. So that's going to be our home. Why? Well, we can first start thinking about cash. What are we going to do with cash? That's the main thing. This is a statement of cash flows here. So where are we going to put cash? That's actually going to start at the bottom.


He says, Islam preaches us to stay united, but at the same time, we have to tell our generations about the injustices caused by those revered by members of the other sects. How do we draw the fine line between maintaining unity along with telling history to our younger generations? Unity is not that I hide what I believe in. It's that I recognize that there are others who may have reached different conclusions to me. I can still give lectures. I remember there was a certain time in the Iraqi community in London, I remember when I was lecturing maybe about 12 years ago where people were saying that, you know, don't mention too much about Imam Ali and Ghadir and Jamal and Saqifah and, you know, let's bring more unity. And I did used to wonder at the time that, you know, maybe they are right. Maybe we don't need to talk this much about our beliefs. Then I realized, no, you talk about your beliefs openly, but you recognize that there may be others who differ with you. There are others who've taken different theological paths to you. There are others who drink from tap water while you drink from avian. You got to appreciate that these things happen.
