Hey everyone, Shaber 1000 here. Today, I want to try these armor original meatballs for these two you here. So I had a bag of these yesterday, last night.  Now they were, I was going to show you the bag of the ones I had, but I ended up not doing this video last night, because it got late. It was like 2.30 in the morning. I got tired. So I just wanted to kick back, watch some of you guys' videos and stuff. So, but it was, I believe it was a sausage popper or something like that. They have all different kinds of these. This is just the original here. So what I want to do is we're going to open these up and we're going to heat them up. We're going to give these a try because the other ones was very good. I think they were like 3.99 a bag, pretty small bag. We'll talk about that here in just a second. I'll tell you how much is in here. We'll go from there. Stick around. Okay, so go ahead and we'll get in here. I'll see you guys the nutrition facts. If you guys want to go ahead and pause that and read that, you can. Okay, these are new and improved. There's another shot of that. Like I said, I think they were $4.00. About 28 half ounce meatballs. No artificial flavor, no preservatives. But the one I had yesterday had 22 balls and they were small. But I didn't think to look at since I didn't since I didn't review them. I didn't think to look at it. This is the network. The weight is 14 ounces, which is 397 grams. So yeah, 397 is more than my drone. Let's see. Here's the here we're reading. This is Oh, barbecue glazed meatballs. Those look pretty good. You can make with these. A shot of that. Oh, okay. So here they do have what I have. Our classic meatballs are quick and easy meal. I can't read this thing's moving around on me. This is one or quick and easy meal solution for your whole family will love for the for will love all your whole family will love for any occasion trial for flavors. I thought I could have sworn guys that I had a meat popper or something. Anyway, they got this one. They got the Italian meatballs. Can't remember which ones I had. They got beef meatballs and turkey meatballs. But I thought I thought it was a sausage. I'm pretty sure it was a sausage. So maybe this bag was printed before then. Best if used by May 18, 2023. Okay. Let's see. Heating the instructions frozen meatballs may may be thawed in refrigerator before heating if desired. Let's get a lot of times when you when you cook these frozen foods, they will tell you do not thaw. You can make a microwave them or you can stove top them. I'm going to microwave them because it's because it's easy, you know, ease of access or filming. So we'll just go ahead and do it that way. And I'll get the other ones to try them again. And we'll do a review on them when we get them. They said it's a little pricey, you know, I think four bucks. But we'll see. That might have been on sale. So I can't tell you the exact price, but I'm pretty sure the ones I bought these in, I think they were 3.99 a piece. Okay. So this is according to an 1100 watt microwave, which I think ours is 900 or 1000. Heating times may vary depending on microwave power and setting settings. Place 14 to 16 meatballs on microwave safe plate. See the other bag I had said 12. And I know there was 22 because I ate them and I was like, Oh, these are good. So I got the other 10. Okay, so 14 to 16 meatballs on microwave safe plate, heat uncovered on high, frozen, two to two and a half minutes or until hot, thawed one and a half minutes or until hot. Let's stand for one to two minutes before serving. So I'm going to put just say 14 to 16. So that's what we're going to do then. Yeah, we'll put, I'm going to put 16 on a plate. We'll do it the way they recommend. And then I'll probably cook the rest of them off camera. But let's go ahead and let's go ahead and get these plated up. Normally don't do that, but I'm going to beat the whole bag anyways. Okay, let's count these are six, eight, 10, 12, 14. That's 14 to 16, right? Yes, it did. 14 to 16. Let's see more on there. Sure don't look like 16. All right, I won't say how many is left because it says about 28. So let's go ahead and mess this up because like I said, I want to beat them off. So there's 16, excuse me, 18. Yeah, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29. Oh, I hate odd numbers. But anyway, so let's go ahead. So yeah, they're right on the money with that. Go ahead and get these in the microwave oven. And I want to heat them up for two and a half minutes. Okay guys, here they are plated up. And I put my camera on backwards again. Okay, so also, I want to try it in this tube. But first, we're going to try it. They're all hot. I want to try it without that. And then we'll try one with it. Pretty good. Seems to be a little plain, but that's because I just got regular meatballs. So I want to try a little bit of this sauce. I also have sweet baby rays in there, but I like this stuff too. Can't remember where monkey got it. Stubs. Pretty good sauce. Okay, so let's dip it in some barbecue sauce here. Pretty hot. I did two and a half minutes. Like I said, that's not 1100 watt microwave. I did two and a half minutes on 14. Would we do 16 of them? So and I let them set for two minutes. So it's fine. Two thumbs up. I'm going three and a half out of five star because I just think it's so expensive. But then again, buy a bag or two of them when you're out. Like I said, we got these in dollar general store. I don't know where else they sell them. But keep them in your freezer. You got a couple guys coming over for a game or something. So I'm going to microwave, put some of this in a little bowl. There you go. We car camp. Most people do car camp. You know, grab a couple of them. Like I said, they're a little pricey. I think these were on sale. But still, let's say you take these camping with you.  You can have a nice dinner of spaghetti and meatballs while you're camping. They're not hard to cook. And you know, it's still for less than the price of one of those mountain house meals that really feeds one. It says two servings, I think on them. But really, it feeds one and you can serve two people. But let's say that. But still, and then you'll have leftovers with this, you know, with these, you don't even have to buy the hamburger. I mean, you have plenty of meatballs. Yeah. So like I said, I'll go three and a half stars because I really don't like the price. But yeah, it is what it is. But they're good to have around. Let's do one more here. But the ones I had yesterday, boy, I think they were sausage. It wasn't any of those that I see on the bag there. I thought it was a sausage popper or something. Maybe it was considered different from the meatballs. That could be too. It might not have been meatballs. I thought that was the same. So that could be something to look into. Maybe they weren't the meatballs. Maybe they were just sausage poppers, but they were really good. These are really good. I give the flavor four out of five stars, two thumbs up, because you can taste more than meat in there. But like I said, it's just plain, just original.  I'm going to give one to monkey because that was an odd number. Shave your other mythoman legend. I'm gone for now. We'll see you guys in the next one. Thanks for watching. Thanks for all support from monkey. Appreciate that. We'll see you guys soon. Y'all stay safe and take care. Bye-bye now.


Hello all, and welcome to Station 204. Now for your space news today in November 20th, we have got some very expensive seats, a nicer observation of the sky, and the kickoff of a series of very complicated space walks. But of course, as we always like to start off space news, let's get right into space traffic. We start out in the asteroid belt, where Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Hayabusa-2 says Sayonara to asteroid Ryugu firing thrusters at 01-24 Universal Time on November 13th to achieve an escape velocity of, yes, 9.2 centimeters per second. Now over the next few weeks Hayabusa-2 will methodically move away from Ryugu before firing up its four ion thrusters to propel it on course to Earth, where samples collected on the surface of Ryugu will land back on Earth in a special capsule in late 2020. A Kuai-Zhou-1A from the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation's X-Space Technology Corporation launched at 03-40 Universal Time on November 13th at the Zhiyouquan Space Center. On board was the Zhilin-1 Gaofen-02A spacecraft, a commercial Earth observation satellite for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was successfully placed into orbit. In a mere three hours later, a Long March 6 rocket lofted five Ningxia-1 remote-sensing detection satellites from the Taiyuan Space Center at 06-35 Universal Time on November 13th. Successfully placed into orbit, very little information is available about the Ningxia-1 satellites, but previous press releases imply that they are used for signals intelligence. China is absolutely smashing the end of the year with its launch cadence, and another Kuai-Zhou-1A from the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation's X-Space Technology Corporation launched at 10.02 and 02-Seconds Universal Time on November 17th at the Zhiyouquan Space Center. Two satellites were successfully deployed, with the only information about them being that they will be used for Ka-Band communication tests, and hopefully my Mandarin this week was a little better than it usually is. And here are your upcoming departures. NASA's Office of Inspector General, or OIG, is tasked with something that is well outside of the scope of the usual cutting-edge spaceflight technology that we're expecting to come out of NASA. They audit NASA. Yep, they look at NASA's budget books and figure out where the money's going and if the money's doing what it's supposed to be doing. Now I think that stuff like this, the politics of spaceflight and getting into the minutiae and the tiny bits about budgets and other things like that, is just as fascinating as the technological development itself. There's a real story to be told there, and OIG, well, they dropped a report recently, and it's about commercial crew, and some people are very upset about it. The main idea behind NASA's commercial crew program was to allow for American astronauts to once again be flying to the International Space Station on American Spacecraft. The retirement of the space transportation system in 2011 marked the beginning of reliance on Russian Soyuz rockets and spacecraft to ferry American astronauts to the outpost in low earth orbit. NASA's had to pay Roscosmos for seats on its Soyuz to the tune of 86 million dollars per. Now I don't have that kind of money, but NASA does, and it spends that kind of money in order to make sure that American astronauts are headed to the International Space Station. And commercial crew is supposed to lower that cost, but it would appear that one company didn't get that memo. OIG looked at the commercial crew transportation capability contracts from 2014, where Boeing was awarded 4.3 billion dollars and SpaceX was awarded 2.5 billion. This covers six flights with four astronauts on board up and down to the International Space Station. OIG then subtracted reported costs for the development of the two spacecraft, which Boeing Starliner cost 2.2 billion, and SpaceX's Crew Dragon came in at 1.2 billion. And after some more math, the report drops the hammer. SpaceX's Crew Dragon costs roughly about 55 million dollars per seat, which is definitely well below the 86 million per seat on a Soyuz. But Boeing Starliner turns out it's 90 million dollars per seat. So a program that was supposed to be cheaper has actually ended up being 5% more expensive. And as you can imagine, Boeing has publicly slammed the OIG report. They cited that Starliner needed more funding as it had to start from scratch, which I suppose is a good point considering Crew Dragon draws on quite a bit of what was developed for cargo Dragon. In addition, Boeing cites an air quotes, fifth person, close air quotes, with the amount of cargo a Starliner will be flying on each flight to the International Space Station, which to me is a pretty lame, eye-roll inducing point. And let's not even get started. On the 287 million dollars that Boeing received to handle an 18 month gap, that didn't happen. Because would you look at that? No one has flown a Crew yet. NASA, of course, also doesn't agree with the OIG's assessment of the costs of commercial Crew. Now just throwing this out there as a hypothetical, if NASA had paid SpaceX the same amount that they paid Boeing, Congress would have probably looked at the commercial Crew program and said, well that's too expensive and not funded it, and we still wouldn't have commercial Crew. In addition to that, if NASA gave Boeing the same amount of money that they gave SpaceX, Boeing probably would have laughed in their face and then not made Starliner, which means that we wouldn't have had commercial Crew.  And there's a lot of action happening on the International Space Station over the next few weeks as three more spacewalks are planned to start repairs to the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, high-energy particle physics instrument mounted on the outside of the ISS. The first spacewalk, which happened November 15th, lasted for six hours 39 minutes. Kicking off the most complicated series of spacewalks since Hubble repair missions, Italian astronaut and current International Space Station Commander Luca Parmitano along with American Flight Engineer Drew Morgan spent their time setting up tools and equipment for the upcoming spacewalks. This included removing a protective debris shield and chucking it overboard. Zip ties and thermal blankets were also moved, helping prep the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to be repaired, which is a difficult task considering it was not designed for any kind of repair at all. Parmitano and Morgan worked well ahead of schedule and completed several tasks that were originally planned for the spacewalk on November 22nd.  There may be a third and fourth spacewalk depending on just what exactly ends up completed during this Friday's spacewalk, which, by the way, on November 22nd, it's expected to start around 11.30 universal time. So jump on NASA's website, they stream it, and you can watch it live. And to talk about this week's space weather and a little bit about water in Europa, here's our own Dr. Tamatha Scove. Just as space weather begins to worsen for amateur radio operators and emergency responders, it picks up for roar photographers. As we switch to our frontside sun, you can see that bright region. That is a solar cycle 25 sunspot that's region 2752. And you can watch it kind of fizzle and fade out as it rotates across the disk. You know, these new cycle sunspots, they don't last very long yet, but they're getting stronger. But just above that region, you can see that decent-sized coronal hole that is going to be bringing some fast solar wind here in the next day or two, and it could bring aurora down to mid-latitudes. The jury is now in. A new paper just out in Nature Astronomy has confirmed that Jupiter's moon Europa does indeed spot water vapor plumes from the oceans beneath its icy surface. Although NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has long spotted indirect evidence of these water plumes, until recently they only had a smoking gun. Now, along with observations made over the course of 17 days in 2017 from the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, researchers struck gold. I mean, water. On April 26th, they unexpectedly received a strong signal, a special kind of infrared light that can only be emitted by water. And there was quite a bit of this stuff, too. About 2,100 metric tons, according to the researchers' estimates. That's almost enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Now, along with the other observations, this massive amount of water is proof positive that it's indeed is a water vapor plume shooting out of Europa's surface, as no other known process in the Jovian system can account for it. Not even Jupiter's intense radiation belts could strip enough water molecules from the surface of Europa to release that much water vapor in its atmosphere. Not to mention Jupiter's radiation belts, they would create a continuous release of water, not just one massive plume. So, understandably, this news has got astrobiologists talking. In the search for life on other worlds, these water plumes are like little messengers from heaven shooting samples of possibly habitable environments right out into space for us to fly through and measure using orbiting spacecraft. Who needs a lander? In fact, this is exactly what the NASA mission that Europa Clipper is betting on. Scheduled to launch in the mid-2020s, it will orbit Jupiter, having many chances to get up close and personal with a possible plume through dozens of Europa flybys. Clippers aim to chart the moon, its ocean, and search for spots where a potential life hunting lander could touch down on the icy surface in the future. And if the mission team members learn enough about these water vapor plumes in the coming years, Clipper might just wind up zooming right through one. Now, what would it mean to you if we found life on Europa? For more details on this week's space weather, including when and where to see Aurora, how your GPS reception will fare, and how amateur radio was doing, come check out my channel or see me at spaceweatherwoman.com. If you're on Twitter as much as I am, you've probably seen the astronomical community is kind of having a little bit of a freak out about SpaceX's recently launched batch of Starlink satellites. There's been lots of images of fields of view being studied that end up having them zipping straight through it and absolutely wrecking the data being taken. Now, a lot of people are saying that we should just launch more space telescopes. It's not that easy. But I mean, that's for a discussion a little bit later down the way. But there is a space telescope that we do want to talk about here called NICER. It is up on the International Space Station. And to talk about a recent high energy result from it, here is Monju Bangalore. So Jared was just talking about Starlink. And I think that global access to the internet is a fundamental right. But I also understand why astronomers might be a little angry. Perhaps the future of astronomy lies in a compromise. In the near future, astronomers may be able to fully rely on space based astronomical platforms to collect data and observe the universe. The NICER telescope sitting outside the International Space Station observed something pretty incredible back in August. The neutron star interior composition explorer observed X-rays shooting out of a pulsar in the Sagittarius constellation 11,000 light years away. Pulsars are condensed cores that are rapidly spinning after the death of a massive neutron star. This pulsar, called SAX J1808, draws on its nearby brown dwarf star for hydrogen gas and then pulls it into an accretionary disk. Every now and then the accretionary disk becomes too dense for itself and the hydrogen gas ionizes. The pressure and temperatures increase, causing nuclear fusion, and after a while a thermonuclear burst blasts across the surface of the pulsar. This binary system is especially unique for two reasons. One, it's a millisecond accretionary pulsar. Now, neutron stars are rare. Pulsars are even rarer. Accretionary pulsars are even more rare. But millisecond accretionary pulsars? Only 13 of them. And we happen to catch one of them releasing a massive, massive burst. But the more important reason is that the brown dwarf star orbiting the pulsar only takes two hours to complete its orbit. So, basically it can complete 600 revolutions by the time you finish a Lord of the Rings movie. I also want to know, did other objects around the pulsar survive the supernova explosion? And could they be exoplanets? At the beginning of the burst, the brightness decreased for less than a second. And in this short time, scientists think that the star built enough energy to push its hydrogen layer into space. In 20 seconds, the X-ray burst released as much energy as the sun releases over the span of nine days. To date, it is the brightest set of X-ray pulses NASA has ever observed. What a brilliant sight. button, liking, sharing, and getting us in front of as many people as you can helps make it possible for us to pursue the core of our mission here at Tomorrow, which is to get everyone, everyone excited about space. So, until the next Space News, keep exploring!


G'day guys, how you going? Welcome to Bootlossophy and if you're new here, my name is Tech. I come to you from Wajik country in Perth, Western Australia and I recognize the traditional owners of this land and the elders and leaders past and present. Today, I'm reviewing the Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot. This version has a brogue captoe in Horween's Natural Chrome Excel and on a leather outsole. This is Oak Street Bootmakers Trench Boot. The trench boot falls into the everyday boots category of boots and apart from special additions, they make several styles between captoes and plain toes and different types of uppers and outsoles. This particular version is a brogue captoe on the leather outsole. I'll talk about the leather outsole in a minute. This is a brogue captoe in the sense that there are brogue perforations cut into the age of the captoe. The name of the boot itself, the trench boot, should give you a clue about the style. Of course, it's a service boot, so called because it follows the type of boots used that were issued to service men and presumably women during the first and second world wars. And as it's a trench boot, I guess it harkens more to the trenches of the first world war. The style is usually based on a six inch tall boot with derby style open lacing, quarters sewn on the outside, sometimes a captoe like this one, sometimes a plain toe, built on a block heel so that soldiers didn't catch the heels on rough ground and generally built using a welted construction, but more of that later. Some service boots will have a bulbous toe box. I remember my own service boots from National Service having a very bulbous and thick toe cap, but the more modern versions that have been the trend since the mid 2010s are generally designed on a more sleek last that flattens out that toe box. While Oak Street bootmakers make the trench boot using different leathers, this one is from Horween Leather Company based in Chicago, and this is called the Natural Chromic Cell. Oak Street bootmakers is also based in Chicago. Oak Street bootmakers was founded by the owner George Vlagos in 2009. George is the son of a master cobbler and he grew up watching and I think helping his father in his business. So he learned the skills and art of shoemaking from his youth. As he was helping his father repair various shoes, he noticed that modern American shoe brands were lacking in real quality. And so he decided to open up Oak Street bootmakers. George has been quoted as saying that he is proud that he's preserving the heritage of fine American shoemaking through thoughtfully designed and well crafted footwear. Oak Street bootmakers is named after a short street in downtown Chicago that seems to be known for a high concentration of luxury brand stores. Oak Street bootmakers don't only make different designs of boots, they also make loafers and boat shoes and they're all designed to be recraftable and last a lifetime. As a sidebar, I have to remark on this time in the mid-2010s where, coincidentally or otherwise, a number of entrepreneurial people, either working in or interested in shoemaking, came to the same conclusion about the apparently sad state of American shoe brands. Think of Conor Wilson and Norman Walsh, who started Thursday Boot Company in 2014, Andrew Savisco, who founded Parker's brand in 2018, Wyatt Gilmore and Josh Lang from Grant Stone in 2016, think of Mark Barbera, who started Mark Albert Boots in 2016 and Vince Romero, who founded Truman Boots in 2014. I guess you could say that as early as 2009, Oak Street bootmakers was one of the first who saw the need and the trending desire for good quality heritage style boots supporting American industry. I think you can also say that this catalyst of new, young bootmaking companies, mostly selling direct to consumer on websites, let a match under the giant industries and more conservatively established companies like Red Wing to up the heritage boot game to meet the trend in their popularity. Indeed, the small agile new companies have been able to weather the storm that was, is the pandemic, and seem to have grown in popularity, supply chains aside. While the older established and maybe less agile and slower moving companies who produced heritage lines and got away with maybe less focus and quality have suffered. So talking about focus and quality, let's jump straight in and see how these trench boots are constructed. As usual, I'll start from the bottom and I'll go up. These boots are built on a leather outsole. Leather outsole seem to be quite controversial, although I can't say I know why. In my social media feeds, there are a lot of conversations about how they are slippery and that they don't last as long as rubber outsole. There are equally as adamant opinions about how they breathe better, how much more comfortable and flexible they are and how they will mold to the shape of your feet. Well, all of that is true. I think how you view leather outsole is dependent on your past experience and how you wear your boots. They are more slippery and they are more comfortable at the same time. They do wear out faster than some rubber outsole and they do flex better than rubber outsole at the same time. It's which side you draw on for what you need from your boots. I wouldn't go logging in leather sole boots. I would wear them to the office and if you're aware of what's on your feet on beer spilled slippery web pub floors. I wouldn't wear them gardening, but I would wear them in a clean factory or workshop. I wouldn't wear them on a hike in the bush, but I would wear them to take the dog for a walk. In this case, these are butyl leather soles like everything else. There are different things you can do to leather soles. You can leave them untreated, which I think Grandstone does on their soles. Or you can infuse them with oil, which is meant to make them more water resistant and flexible. Or in this case, you can infuse them with a butyl and oil compound. Now generally, untreated leather soles are probably less water resistant, especially once they're scratched and more slippery, but contrarially less slippery when they are scratched. Butyl is a synthetic rubber formed from a chemical called isobutylene and small amounts of another chemical called isopropene. It's introduced to the leather in resin form with a small amount of oil. The leather is immersed in an oily solution of butyl and it absorbs the compound. Because it's oily and it hardens in a rubbery fashion, you can't successfully glue a toppy rubber layer on it. I mean you can, but I'm told it will eventually separate. What you end up with in this butyl leather is a grippier leather surface even after wear and it's been scratched up. If I drag my hand across the sole, I feel it waxy and sticky. In these trench boots, the leather outsole is attached to the uppers using the Goodyear welter method of construction. If you've been following my channel, you know I've explained Goodyear welter construction before, but for those new to the channel, I'll go through it briefly. A welt is a narrow strip of leather up to two mils thick that encircles the edge of the boot. In this case, it goes all the way around the boot so it's a 360 degree welt.  The inside edge of the welt is Goodyear stitch to the turned in inside edge of the uppers. Goodyear stitching is a particular stitch by a Goodyear stitching machine which sews the uppers to the inside of the welt. The outside edge of the welt is then stitched to the mid and out soles. In boots where it goes all the way through, you'll be able to see the stitch on top of the welt as well as underneath on the outsole. As the two parts of the boot, the uppers and the soles are not stitched through at the same time, the welt forms a moisture barrier between the outside and the inside. So more water resistant than if the boot was stitched all the way through the uppers and the sole construction together. And as you can remove the outside stitching, you can also more easily remove the worn outsole and replace it with a new outsole and just re-stitch it on without doing any damage to the leather of the uppers. The heel on this boot is a fully stacked leather heel, solid. It's a block heel with a thick rubber top lift. The top lift obviously helps with wearing down too quickly, as well as with shock absorption. But it is a solid piece of rubber and combined with a solid leather heel stack, the boots make the most satisfactorily loud thud clunk sound as you walk along a hard surface. Moving inside the boot and upwards, apparently there is a leather midsole when the outsole is rubber day night. But in this case, I can't see a midsole. I think the outsole, which from what I can see is about five to six mils thick, does for both mid and outsole. However inside, the cavity formed by the two or three mil thick welt around the edge is filled by a cork layer with a fiberglass shank embedded in the gap between the heel and the ball of the foot. A shank gives the boot rigidity and provides arch support and a fiberglass shank is airport friendly, as well as suppose it is tougher steel without rusting or flaking. Above that is a vegetarian leather insole and on top of that is a leather foot bed. When I got these boots, I was confused as to whether it was a removable foot bed. The one in the right boot got scrunched up just under my arch on the first day of wear. I had to remove it and then glue it down to avoid it continually shifting under my foot. So I thought to do the same in my left boot, but I found the foot bed there stuck on with what I think is a small dab of glue that I was able to peel off and then reglue it in myself a little more firmly. Staying inside the boot, the external heel counter is veg tend leather and covered by a two-piece backstay, a strip up the shaft and a heel cup covering the heel counter. These are double stitched. The toe box is lightly structured with a leather stiffener that's covered by what I think is not a true toe cap. What I mean by that is instead of a piece of leather on top of the vamp leather, it's actually a toe cap sewn to a cut-off vamp. The toe box has these brogue perforations and is sewn onto the vamp with a 2 plus 1 triple stitch pattern. I have seen reviews where they say the stitching is not straight.  It's straight enough for me with no mistitching that overlaps the leather joints. The lacing method is an open derby lacing system. The quarters are outside sewn on with a triple stitch with open lacing flaps and eight brass eyelets, no speed hooks. The eyelets are not backed with washers, they're just star pressed into the back of the leather. I usually find myself lacing up only to the seventh eyelet. If I lace to the top eighth eyelet, my ankles feel strangulated. The laces that come with the boots are I think guarded goods roll hide laces, and they are long. Oh boy are they long. It's not my favorite method but when I tie these I wrap around the shaft of the boot. The boot is lined in the toe box in the vamp. The lining which is leather comes along the sides of the boot almost up as far as the heel cap. The shaft is unlined as is the tongue. The tongue is ungusseted but whether because it's pretty thick at about two mils or because of the stitching I don't get any tongue slip during wear. The edges of the facings and the top of the collar are unfinished raw leather edges. They are reinforced with another piece of chrome excel on the inside. Okay now we're up here let's talk about the leather. This is Horween's undyed natural chrome excel. Horween is a nearly 120 year old family owned tannery in Chicago and one of its most famous leathers is chrome excel. Chrome excel is a combination tanned top grain leather that starts with chrome tanning and then followed by a vegetable tanning process and then followed by hot stuffing the leather with a blend of oils and waxes while it's steamed. The whole process takes about a month and produces a soft hardy waxy and self-curing pull-up leather. What that means is that the leather is soft enough to be comfortable yet stiff enough to be hardy. Due to the heavily infused oils and waxes they move around in the leather and so they have that pull-up effect when you push against it. This makes them naturally more water resistant and all the oils and waxes make them self-polishing giving them a polished look without needing any real polish.  This natural chrome excel comes out of the box a warm light honey color but like the skin that it is it will actually tan with sunlight and with wear it will darken considerably like this. That is some patina capability there. My pair is just over six months old worn regularly but not frequently and they've already deepened into a more mid-brown honey color. I already mentioned the puzzling issue with the leather footbed and QC wise there were some loose threads at the end of stitch lines but I'm okay with both issues. Despite the price it's still a mid-priced boot and I don't necessarily think that some loose stitching or a missing blob of glue is a huge QC issue. If these were $600 Aldens or RM Williams' or $800 Viberg's then I would complain. All in all the boots are finished very finely for what they are essentially not a dress boot. An interesting tip bit is where the trench boots are made. Most of Oak Street boot makers footwear is made in Chicago but I'm sure I read somewhere I can't find it again but I'm sure I read somewhere that the trench boot is made in upstate New York in fact in the same factory where Parkhurst and Wolverine make their boots. If so there are interesting differences between the finish on these boots and on Parkhurst boots. Bearing in mind that Parkhurst are providing more of a rugged vibe they're not finished as finely as these are. QC wise though I have to mention the quality of the chrome excel or maybe it's the skill in the clicking that's the process of choosing the right parts of the hide to cut or click when you're cutting the parts that make up the boot. If chrome excel has a fault it's embodied in the phrase chrome excel lottery. People say that you can be unlucky and pick up a boot where the chrome excel has loose grain that's where the grain or the hair side of the leather starts to flex away and delaminate from the looser fibers of the flesh side. When that happens you see some almost loose skin or flabby skin especially if it's from the belly part of the hide just think of man boobs versus six pack it's the skill of the clicker who chooses which part of the hide is chosen for which parts of the boot and often when they do see loose grain that part is chosen for say the shaft where any loose grain is hidden by your trousers. In this case the chrome excel is perfect there is no loose grain whatsoever not even in the hidden places like the shaft or the tongue. So whatever method maybe in the clicking process where maybe they actually don't use any loose grain parts of the hide or whether George simply walks over to Halloween in the same city and chooses hides specifically these boots have zero defect in the leather. In fact despite six months of regular but I hasten to add an interest of full disclosure not frequent wear maybe a week a month. In six months of regular wear the creasing or lack of creasing on these boots especially on the vamp is amazing in fact it deserves a close-up. As you can see the creases are very fine lines Phil Callis from Ashland Leather on his YouTube channel calls this a sugary break I guess because the creases are so fine and crystalline apart from some natural rolls and these fine crystalline creases there are no deep creases after six months of wear if you think it looks like I haven't worn them much take a look at the soles which shows the way I have put into them regular but not frequent over six months or so now which takes us to leather care looking after chrome excel is pretty simple if you're new to quality boots after moving from pretty standard finished footwear where the leather has been corrected or sanded and often a coat of heavy wax or other product is applied to the top and it's highly polished as a surface you may be horrified to learn that your nice smooth leather on your new boots will scuff and take up color differences and even textual differences it's what we celebrate as patina anyway chrome excel may look like your nice waxy polished dress shoes but take them for a walk and come home to a heart attack because you will bring home some scratches and scuffs it will scuff comparatively easily but it will also self repair by just the heat of your fingers rubbing the surface to redistribute the oils and waxes inside the leather at worse you can just apply some conditioner and again with the heat of your hands or with a good horsehair brush you can rub away those marks if you follow my channel you know my go-to conditioner particularly for smooth leather is venetian shoe cream and also note that Halloween itself uses liters of the stuff when they finish chrome excel i've also recently been trying big four primarily because it said not to darken leather i find big four to produce a slightly more matte effect with venetian shoe cream having more wax in its composition i think either would be fine apply them after a wipe down with a damp cloth and letting it dry and then a good brush with a horsehair brush the key is never apply product to a dirty or dusty leather you'd likely sticky paste the dirt granules into the leather eventually making them scratch and crack and weaken the leather fibers so clean brush then apply either venetian shoe cream or big four allowed to dry to a haze and then brush them again with a clean horsehair brush i would not apply polish but that's me these boots are casual and they are meant to look all servicy so i'm not looking for a high shine on mine i have links to where to buy all these products in the description below just open up the description box and then scroll down as for how often i condition them i've only just done these just recently before this video after six months where i think if i'd worn them frequently like every day almost i might have conditioned them two or three months ago the indicator is how dry the leather feels with chrome excel it takes a lot to dry them out let's quickly turn to how you wear these boots and what to wear them with these are casual service boots yes you can and i do wear service boots with smart and even business casual clothes if they're dark and shiny enough i even wear them with suits so sue me i'm a rebel however these boots due to the natural chrome excel leather and how they will patina i think i'd avoid wearing them to any formal or very dressy situations while they might be all right in this condition once they darken in an uneven patina like in the photo i showed earlier i don't think you can get away with wearing them to the church or a wedding in any case though they'd be great with any casual gear other than once they patina deeply business casual so obviously good with denim of any description although because they're currently a light brown i favor light or mid-wash they go well with khaki chinos and brown earth colored pants and jeans the leather and look would be great paired with a rugged casual look and now let's look at sizing and fit my true size as measured objectively by a brannock device not by any subjective reference to sneaker size is a us eight and a half in average d width most american bootmakers will suggest their boots run large and recommend sizing a half size down from true indeed in red wings in ellen edmonds aldons thursdays grandstone parkers truman i wear an eight d however oak street bootmakers recommended that i order true to size so i ordered an eight and a half d honestly ordering boots online from a company you've never tried before is a stressful business especially if you don't live in the us and the time and cost to deliver uh and then return them is substantial anyway full of trepidation i tried them on when they arrived and true to size was definitely the way to go i find the fit in these to be good on all fronts including the instep volume uh this is on what they call the elston last the last or the mold the boot is shaped around is snug at the heel a little loose at the waist but that's okay uh roomy at the ball of the feet hence avoiding any squeeziness and roomy at the toes with this round toe shape which i like some people call this a duck bill toe box and you can see why but i repeat i like it i don't think arch support is fantastic it's okay but it's not fantastic but the overall feel of the leather and cork underfoot is quite comfortable there was no break in required they fit it well with no pinching and they were comfortable out of the box these were the boots i pull out if i know i'm going to be standing around a lot all day or if i want something comfortable in my feet to lounge about in without being conscious that i have stiff boots on my feet finally let's take a look at price and value i've said before and i'll say it again price and value are related but not the same think of a gucci handbag pricey but do they reflect that price in real value in this case i bought these boots last november 2021 during black friday sales for us 307 dollars depending on options the trench boots sell on the website in the mid 400s i think from about 442 to 468 us dollars that's the price but what about the value well i think they're undoubtedly finely made they use really good materials that the chrome excel that from what i can see is carefully selected uh and it's thick the construction is all vegetarian leather soles and heel stacks and the butyl outsole is a cut above standard leather soles even the guarded goods laces are special the elson last is very comfortable and perhaps you want to trade some price for immediate comfort and as for customer service part of my thinking for value how's this when i first got these i oiled the rather thick and stiff laces and then i cut them down after two ways i realized that made a mistake and that they were now too short and too oily so i bit the bullet and i ordered a replacement pair of laces from oak street when i got them i actually received two pairs and a note from hayley that said wouldn't want him to get lonely on a long voyage so we sent two how good is that and when i thanked them on instagram they said that it wasn't any particular sales training that's the way hayley is well if they imbue their workers with that level of interpreting their business vision and that level of independent initiative to satisfy the customer with excellent customer service then to me that adds value to their brand and therefore their product no ridiculous reliance on a trendy logo like a Gucci handbag but real brand value through demonstration however i need to also look at what they compete with as a styler boot they're not far off parkhurst's allen or richman boots and also not that different from grant stone diesel boots i don't think it's fair to compare them with fursday captains because the captains are clearly an entry level priced in quality boot good for the price but not in the same category the parkhurst and grant stone boots sell for the mid 300s so there's a hundred dollar difference much as i like the brand value wise and their finish i ask if they're worth a whole hundred dollars more in value and i can't categorically say yes i'm very happy i bought my own sale for just over 300 dollars i would probably unflinchingly buy them for 350 dollars maybe even 400 but the mid 400s might be a bit too much in my evaluation of value so there you have it my

The best part of creating miniature sets is really to inspire other people. What you're about to see is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look on how to create a high production value on a Hollywood scale using only miniatures and a little bit of post-production magic. Using assets from our new creators pack that we're giving away this holiday season. There's also an exciting giveaway waiting for you at the end of the video, so make sure you stick around. Now let's watch the final film created with the miniature sets and then we'll jump straight into the behind-the-scenes. Art grid and art list holiday sale. Get your free creators pack now. Inspiration comes from the little things. A beautiful piece of art. A song you heard. A new tool that helps you express yourself. This holiday season we're giving a free creators pack the little things to make all the difference. Start creating without limits. So for me the creative process starts with an idea. I had that thought before a couple of months ago to try to recreate sets from movies. It's really fascinating to see if it's possible by yourself from a small city in Sweden. So I thought to myself, okay, let's do it, Hollywood on a table. My name is Bastian Jörn and I'm a self-taught filmmaker from Sweden and I started creating miniatures for about eight months now. So the first step I made to create these five sets was to really dig into the original sets and how they were made to see how I can implement the original set with a miniature version of it. I need to plan out the scale, what materials I should use, what size the diorama should be. After that I go into the building process. Then we go into the lighting, the angle, the composition and then we're into the filming and that's actually the fastest part in the creative process. The most important part is to understand light, to create the right shadows and the right highlights. You can do the most amazing shots with even a mobile phone. For the avatar set I think it's the most complex set I've ever created. I used four different LED lights to emphasize the silhouette and the forest as a whole and as well four different UV black lights to emphasize the neon colors and the neon plants to make it look like they're glowing. I used the overlay video assets from Artlist and Artgrid Creators Pack for replicating fireflies over the pond. The idea was to create this kind of iconic canyon cliff. When the visual effects and the practical effects works together that's when the best results are made. I searched on Artgrid for canyons and then found some footage that I really like. To make it look real I used a lot of layers with clouds both in the green screen area and as well in the foreground and in the different layers. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to create the moon in such a way that the light would reflect from below and create these dramatic shadows. So for the Blade Runner I really enjoy crafting all the parts to try to get the same colors and same vibe as the original. The Lava Problance revolutionized at least my kind of filmmaking. If you want to go through terrain and houses and between them you need to have a small form factor lens. I used easily four to five thousand individual cuts with a mat knife in the styrofoam to be able to create this kind of harsh glacier feeling of thick wall. It was really fun to create foreground. It really made the whole wall pop and made a certain depth to the image. The best part of creating miniature sets is really to inspire other people. I want to become a good filmmaker. I want to become a good visual artist and as well I want to learn everything there is about architecture and scale and dioramas and to kind of create a profession that doesn't even exist. So now it's time for me to go and create some new worlds. So we hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, you know the drill. Slap it and slap that like button.

In today's video, we are going to talk about one interesting subject and that is interesting subject. It grubless touches the countries of East Africa.  It's quite very interesting. Remember, the East African community or the East African countries are phrasing out what we call the old passports. They are introducing what we call the E-passports. If you've ever heard of what we call the E-passports, this has been a long process since it was introduced. Remember, there was a period of what we call the COVID pandemic. COVID pandemic destructed the process in one way or the other. So they kept on longing, shifting the updates all the time. Remember, most of the time when longing that keep on pushing the deadline, the deadline pushing, still at one moment of time, the deadline day will always be. What am I talking about? Are you coming from Uganda? Are you coming from Kenya? Are you coming from Tanzania? Please, the deadline for phasing out of the East African passports is first every as agreed by the leaders of the East African or the East African countries. In this case, let me talk about one country that is Uganda. Remember, for the other countries like Tanzania and Kenya, their process is quite very good. Why? Because they have embassies, especially if you are living in Katalu, if you are living in Dubai, if you are living in Saudi Arabia, if you are living in Oman, if you are living in Kuwait, if you are living in any of those countries and you feel you need to renew your passports. I'm just going to give you the right procedure, what you need to do. You are not in your country, but you need to renew your passport before it comes to fasting every month. Remember, when you have that old passport, you can exit and go back home. But when it is phased out when the deadline reach, that means you cannot use that old passport to get a visa to a new country. Most of you have visas that are in the old passports and your residence permits wherever you are are visas in the old passports. But again, still even if you are going to renew what you call your residence visa in any country of the Middle East where you are, you will need what you call a new passport such that they can have a new passport number in what you call your residence visa. Because they need to have the two passports, the old passports and the new passports, they convert your visa or the convert your residence back to the new passport number. That is what I'm telling you, because remember right now, you may not see it as something that is going to inconvenience you, but when they are going to renew your residence visa, it will inconvenience you a little bit. That's maybe at one or the other. So let us try to share together what I'm saying is that the East African countries for Kenya, for the survey I've taken with Kenya, their passports, they can apply for passports in the embassies in these countries. I'll give an example of Qatar, I was at the Kenyan Embassy and most days we are applying for passports and they can still get the passports. But the problem is that we still have, is the problem we have with the Kenyan embassies are not going to get off, but I'll talk what is existing.  You go to the art embassy, right through that embassy. You may be in Kuwait and you cannot access that. I know the embassy is now not so much equipped with processing the passports.  You know what I'm trying to mean, you write a letter, I'm so and so and I'm a residence in this country, I've been here for this quite period, I'm requesting for your help as to renew or confirming my residence, so that I can renew my old passport, so renew passport. So when you write a letter, you forward it to the embassy. The embassy would write to you what you call a confirmation letter, what you call a recommendation, sorry a recommendation letter that is going to prove, that is going to state that you are a true residence of that country. So if you are in Qatar that is what you have to do. So when that government or when that embassy prints for you that recommendation letter, the start of the passport processing starts from there. Yes, well and good, in these countries we have an opportunity of what you call internet. I'm just giving an advice to some that can still use up that opportunity of the internet in this country. What you do, go to your PC or go to your mobile, fill in the application details of yourself in case of that matter.  So what are you going to do? Fill out that application, fill in your details, submit the details. They'll give you what you call that application number. For when it comes to payment because before you make a booking, any booking appointment to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to process or to get your finger prints at the rest, you need to first make the payment. So you can make the payment in any way, either you have someone in Uganda who can make that payment to that responsible bank. Once that payment is made to that bank, that person can send you the receipt number or that receipt number will be captured in your application process. The next time you go to load in your application process, they will tell you, book what you call that, book your interview date, you can book that day that you feel you'll be there. Remember, this time you are not in the country. What are you going to do, the easiest procedure? You are going to have what you call an Anthony, you are going to have what you call, you are going to give what you call Anthony of Power to someone. Remember, that Anthony of Power you are going to give, it's someone who is living in Uganda. A person who is on the ground who can move to the passport office. You're going to write a letter of an Anthony of Power to the person you include his name, his national ID number. If he has a passport, you can also include it. You give the powers to that person to go to the ministry or internal affairs to process that passport for you, to take the documents for you, sent in the PDF form. Also, in case your passport is out for that person to sign out your passport, that is what you call an Anthony of Power.  Some of them you can even put them in an envelope because they will need your old passports. Put them in an envelope for what it is to that person that you've given what you call an Anthony of Power. So it's that Anthony of Power or that person with the Anthony of Power is going to be that person who will sign up, who will sign out your passport in case it is printed out. That letter should, the Anthony of Power letter should be addressed to the ministry of internal affairs and the printing in Uganda or in your country. Instructing them that that person will be able to is going to sign out on your behalf for that person. Then after all the process is done, if once all the passport printed, then you can look at an option of having that passport back to you. You can either use what you call the Korea services, you can use DHL or FedEx, but try to use those means that you think are the safest to deliver your document to you. This is the simplest procedure that you can follow or you can do, not to get into what you call haswa and having what you call costly payments to people to print for you passports. Because you never have to trust out anyone that's going to print for you that passport. That is a document for you that is going to help you in one or the other. I think I've tried to share something. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. So remember, the old passports are phrasing out and the deadline is 1 April. All you got done is old kinyans or Tanzanians, just know the old deadline for the old passport is 1 April. So you need to do it as soon as possible to avoid delays wherever you are at your place of work with the change over your residence and changing of your details. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. It's always mechs from the mechs equation giving you the updates giving you all that you require. By the way, don't forget to give us a thumbs up. It will be the only way that I'll look, I'll be motivated to make and look for more content for you. If you feel this video is very important, share it to a friend or always be more than happy and more than happy to get back to you. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. See you again in the next video as we try to see more interesting information.


In 1947, the lambda particle was discovered. Here we see a v-shape with the creation of a pion and a proton. It was the proton that told us the decaying neutral particle, lambda, must have had 3 quarks. The particle was expected to live for about 10 to the minus 23 seconds, but actually survived for 10 to the minus 10 seconds. The property that caused it to live so long was dubbed strangeness, and led to the discovery of the strange quark. In 1964, the Cy-Baryon was discovered at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Anti-protons arrived from the left. One of these anti-protons collides with a hydrogen nucleus, a proton resulting in mutual annihilation. The mass of the proton and the mass plus kinetic energy of the anti-proton give birth to two heavy particles, a negative xi and its anti-particle. Also in 1964, at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the omega particle was discovered. This is one of the most famous bubble chamber pictures of all. It shows the discovery of this long-predicted particle. In this photograph, we have manufactured kaons entering the chamber on the left. To help see the omega particle, I'll remove all but the tracks associated with the omega event and work backwards from the V on the right to create a pion and a proton. This is the trademark decay signature for the lambda particle. We also see Vs in the upper right and in the lower middle where positron and electron pairs are created. This is the signature for high energy gamma rays. If we draw lines back to where the lambda particle and the two gamma rays cross, we see that a neutral particle decayed into the neutral lambda and the two gamma rays. This is the decay signature for the neutral xi particle. We can now draw the path of the xi particle back to the kink where another particle was decayed into the neutral xi and a pion. Given all the masses, energies, strangeness, and charges involved, this fit the expected properties of the omega particle that's made up of three strange quarks. Tracing the path of the omega particle back to the kink in the path of the kaon, we can see the decay that created the omega particle and measure the length of time the omega particle existed. It has a very short life of 82 trillionths of a second. The physicists working on analyzing this photograph were so excited about his find that he woke up the director of the Brookhaven laboratory in the middle of the night to give him the news. As with other predictions of previously unobserved particles, this discovery gave a tremendous boost to quark theory.


I'm Zeke and welcome to the Dream Green Show. In this episode, I'm going to bring you guys four stocks that you should keep your eye on today that is pulling back inside of the stock market. Because remember, in order to be successful inside the stock market, you have to buy low and sell high. You don't only buy stocks when they're high, again, when they start to pull back and say, oh man, this stock is going to hell, we're just gonna sell. That's not how you be successful inside of the stock market. You have to always buy low and sell high. Now there's a couple strategies in doing this and I've been telling you guys a while about the strategy that I use called dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost averaging is when you buy shares of a certain company every single day, week, once a month, every quarter, no matter what the price is of that company, if the company is high or if the company price is low, you're gonna buy shares of that company every single period over a long period of time. That's called dollar cost averaging. So no matter if the price is high or low, you're averaging at your price of that company. And usually in the long run, you end up winning over a long period of time. But the four companies I'm bringing you today inside of this video are companies that are having a slight pullback or a major pullback that nothing fundamentally about these companies have changed at all. And those are the kind of pullbacks that we live with. We don't like pullbacks where CEO leaves companies and they think the company is gonna go to hell or the company has completely changed the fundamentals of that company and the market is scared of that. Those are companies that, hey, this stock is gonna go down and continue to go down. So if we're gonna sell, I don't care if I take it for a slight loss, we're gonna sell and get rid of the stock. But companies that nothing fundamentally has changed about those companies at all, but the market is having a pullback or let's say some bad news came out about that company. Bad news, we love bad news because companies get over bad news in just a single quarter. So when bad news come out, we come out and buy the dip and then we wait for that company to recover. But all four of these companies I bring you today, they don't really have any bad news at all. Nothing fundamentally has changed about these companies at all where they are just on sale. And this is the kind of good sale that we're looking for in order to be successful in the stock market. Because remember, write this down, guys. Buy low, sell high. If you are willing to buy a company at its all time high because you believe in that company, why not buy that company when it's on sale, when the market is pulling back? If nothing about that company has fundamentally changed at all, right? So that's what we're gonna do in this video. I'm gonna bring you the top four stocks that you can keep your eye on in this upcoming week. But before we dive into this video, this video is brought to you by Weeble.

Once again, by clicking the link down in the description and signed up for Weeble. But enough talking, guys. Let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Welcome back dreamers. Here we are on the first stock, which is Squared Space. Now Squared Space over the last week, month and three months has been pulling back around 32.93%. And even over the last year, that's still down 12.19%.  Squared got a little bit overpriced in this 32% pullback. It might be the pullback that we've been looking for in order to get inside this company. In fact, some great news did just come out for Squared Space, even though it's up over the last five years, 1,274%. It's still very pricey for me, but I might go ahead and get in this week off the good news I just received. So if you guys are looking for a great company, a great stock to get into Squared Space, might be one that you put on your watch list in order to keep an eye on it. In fact, let's just do a quick technical analysis over Squared Space. And I'm gonna show you guys the great news. If we scroll down just a little bit and show more, you guys can see that the CEO of Squared Space is Jack Dorsey. And as you guys know, Jack Dorsey is also the creator and the CEO of one of the biggest, well, the biggest social media platform that is on Earth, which is Twitter. So he made Twitter, he made Squared Space. If it could be successful with another company like Twitter, I think that he could be successful with his other company, Squared Space. In fact, let me go ahead and tell you guys the news so you can be updated. All right dreamers, here we are over on the New York Times. Jack Dorsey, he is the CEO of Twitter in the CEO of Squared Space, but he just announced that he's leaving Twitter as the CEO after just 15 years. He's 37 years old. After 15 years of being the CEO of Twitter, he's now devoting all his time into Squared Space. So that is a great catalyst of news. After this company been pulling back 32% over the last three months, just last week he announced that he's going to leave as being the CEO of Twitter. He's gonna be devoting all his time over to Squared Space. So let's just do a quick technical analysis on Squared Space. We'll just do this one. If we scroll over, let's make this is Squared Space on the four hour chart. And as you guys can see, as it broke below the 200 exponential moving average, it's been pulling back. If we look at the last couple earnings report, it pulled back before every earnings report, had a good earnings report, shot up, pulled back, had a good earnings report, shot up, and then it had his first bad earnings report just a couple of weeks ago, and it's been pulling back ever since. And this is the pullback we have been looking for. In fact, let's pull out the Fibonacci sequence. As you guys know, I love to bite inside of the Golden Zone. And bam, right here, Squared Space has just reached inside of the Golden Zone. If I want to be safe, I'll wait until the MACD finally crosses over and then I'll enter into the market. But I would dollar-cost average once again, if I wanted to, I'll go in and I'll buy one shared Squared Space. If it pulled back some more, I'll buy two shares of Squared Space. If it pulled back even more, I'll buy three shares of Squared Space. That's me, Dollar-Cost Averaging Game. While this company is pulling back, it is an amazing company. Nothing fundamentally has changed about this company. It's just having a pullback from a bad earnings report. And we're gonna take a full advantage of that opportunity because remember, you want to buy low and sell high, quit buying high and selling low. So we're just gonna do the one technical analysis over this one. I'll give you guys the other three companies, but if you want technical analysis like this and when I buy and sell different companies, then click the link down in the comments section. That'll take you to my Patreon. Over there on the Patreon, that'll take you to the Discord inside the Discord. I post every time I buy and sell different stocks. We post option strategies and cryptocurrency strategies. So in technical analysis, just like this. So if you want the opportunity to come in and be a part of a great community of traders, go ahead and click that link down in the comments section. It's just $12 a month. That's around 40 cents a day.  So if you guys want to be a part of that community, click that link down in the comments section. But let's go ahead and dive into the other three stocks that has been pulling back that nothing fundamentally has changed about this company. Here we are on the second company Zoom. Over the last year, Zoom has been pulling back over 52%.  But if you've been paying attention to Zoom, they've been trying to get inside of the metaverse by partnering with Oculus to where you could attend Zoom meetings in the metaverse. So Zoom is another metaverse type stock that has been pulling back over the last year. So after the big pandemic run up, right now is nearing a support zone. I did a technical analysis that I posted over in the Discord. If you guys want to go check that out, people that's already a part of that community, I posted one of Zoom last week. It's not quite time to buy, but it's coming up very, very soon. We're going to keep a good eye on Zoom and put that onto our watch list. The next company that's been pulling back that's been doing very, very good is AMD. So AMD over the last three months has been up 30%. In fact, over the last year it's up 55%. But it's first week of a decent pullback of 8.92%. This is the first week it had a pullback over the last three months. Is this the opportunity again on AMD? I love AMD guys. I have 100 shares of AMD. I'm up 141%. Now Facebook has announced, well metaverse meta has announced that they've been partnering with AMD to use that Epic GPUs, which is pretty much is going to power and run all of meta, aka Facebook, all of their online service and everything that it has to do with the metaverse. They're going to partner with AMD to use that Epic GPU type service. And so AMD finally had a decent pullback. This is going to be a very big company in the near future. So this is one that you definitely need to add to your watch list. And the last one I'm going to bring you guys is Corsair. Now Corsair Gaming, as you guys know over the last year they had the big IPO run up all the way up to $45. And it's finally having a pullback Corsair. They make pretty much anything for home building computers. With Corsair you could buy their power supplies, DRAM, cooling fans and also pre-built computers with the way that the world's changing with a lot of people still working from home and a lot of kids still attending school online and a lot of people that's really getting inside of the metaverse that they're going to have to build their own computers in order to enter the metaverse. Corsair is going to be very big in the future that had the big run up from its first release back in October, 2020. And it's been pulling back ever since. It's down 41% over the last year and $20 will be an awesome price point. If Corsair could pull back to $20, I'm going to go in big on Corsair right now. It's at 2107. So keep an eye on this. Put this one on your watch list because it's a pretty good company that I actually use. And if you're thinking about the future, if you're thinking about the metaverse, this is going to be a company that you want to have inside of your portfolio. But once again, this is not financial advice. This is for pure entertainment purposes only. Please do your own research.  If you want technical analysis over the stocks that I just talked about, we did one. I'm going to post the other three over in the Discord. If you want access to that, that's going to be down in the comment section to take you over to my Patreon. Let me know down in the comment section what stocks do you guys have your eyes on this week that has been pulling back in the market that we could get on a good sale. Not a bad sale, not a company that's doing horrible, but a great company that's having a pullback that we could get in at an amazing price. Drop that down in the comment section.

Just days after USS Samuel B. Roberts hit the mine, President Reagan ordered U.S. forces to strike back. Petty Officer Chuck Moore has the story. President Reagan ordered defensive action in response to the mining of USS Samuel B. Roberts. On the morning of April 18, two Iranian oil platforms, Sassan and Siri, were destroyed by naval gunfire and demolitions. They must know that we will protect our ships and if they threaten us, they'll pay a price. Evacuate the platform immediately. I repeat, evacuate immediately. In response, an Iranian patrol boat fired on U.S. forces at the Siri platform, only to be sunk by USS Simpson and USS Wainwright. Further south in the Gulf, Iranian frigates fired on U.S. ships and aircraft in the Strait of Hormuz. I don't know if anybody else was surprised about the response from the Iranians. While these attacks may have been unexpected, the Navy was not unprepared. Well, we of course had no way of knowing just what their reaction might be. On the other hand, it would not be prudent not to have planned what to do in the event of a reaction. Of course, our ships are prepared and have the necessary guidance to permit them to defend themselves against any hostile action. And they took the necessary action very successfully. This is a warning. Stop and abandon ship. I intend to sink you. Over. I think that the performance of our ships and the Persian Gulf incidents of the last several days prove that if you're ready, you don't need a lot of planning. It's a come as you are situation and the ships were prepared and when the whistle blew, they were ready to go. During the nine-hour clash between U.S. and Iranian forces, Navy ships and aircraft made successful strikes against Iranian frigates and speed boats. Navy officials say all but one missile fired was on target. Meanwhile, when the Iranians were launching missiles at U.S. ships, sailors fired metal shaft into the air to confuse those missiles' guidance system. The result, all of the Iranian missiles fired missed. You can't do that without well-trained crews who've been working hard to get themselves into a high state of readiness, as all our ships out there are. Naval aviators were also ready. All of the A-6 harpoons were direct hits, and were the laser-guided bombs. We also used other ordnance against the bog hammer, a very high-speed speedboat. Difficult to hit, a maneuvering target at sea is a very difficult thing to hit, but our pilots showed their skill and our ordnancemen showed how well they could do the job. Officials say this kind of success, both in the air and on the sea, prove that Navy weapons programs are just what the doctor ordered. What it tells me is that we're building the right weapons to do the job. They worked and they worked as advertised. They worked in a tough environment. They worked on little notice. They worked when the pressure was on, when our ships were being fired at. We fired and we hit. When one sees nearly every weapon launched by our forces successfully engage the enemy and sink or knock down the opposition, that's a mark not only of good, competent hardware, both sensors as well as the weapons systems themselves, but people who are trained to operate those systems react instinctively and professionally to the challenge that comes up. And that instinctive response comes from training. It's often been said that the reaction, the initial reaction of an individual is highly dependent on his training. And the CNO added the events of last week proved that not only naval personnel are well trained, I think all of our people, and by this I'd have to say the people of all the services involved in that, that engagement or that series of engagements last Monday, all of them demonstrated a very high level of professionalism, good coordination, good professional competence. For Navy News This Week, I'm Petty Officer Chuck Moore. During the fighting, a Marine Cobra helicopter was lost at sea due to unknown circumstances. An extensive search was conducted without success and the two crewmen have been officially listed as missing.


Hey, what's going on? It's coach Swift that make money coaching sports So today's topic is something that it definitely Frustrates a lot of coaches frustrates a lot of business Owners who do a service like this. Okay? There's two things I get a lot of I you know in our group coaching calls and then Talking with other trainers around me in my city. I always hear How do I handle parents who are It's supposed to be on Mondays at 5 p.m. And the next thing you know like they need to move to a different day in time And then two what do I do when? They don't even tell me that they're not gonna come and then they just show up a different day These are very frustrating things and you know a lot of sadly, you know to get benefit of doubt a lot of parents are actually used to lazy trainers and coaches who Don't have any structure system in place. Okay? it doesn't matter if they work for like Another sports force gym or they're independent at the fields like on their own They don't have any structure on there. So parents are kind of feeding off what they know based on experience Okay, we have a lot of lazy people in the industry That's why they don't last very well, but they do make it harder for all the rest of us to To get more done, but we can also take advantage of learning from that and help others so first thing is When they want to When they even want to have a session, they need to go through you. Okay? You have to make sure that One, let's say you do a mix of small group 16 kids or One-on-one they need to make sure that one they are Scheduling through you that it's okay for a certain day time. Let's say Monday at 5 p.m. that you can take their child in okay and Because let's say you're doing one-on-one me in the past I've had athletes who I did one-on-one with them for a short period of time because they were on post ACL Protocol, okay. I didn't want to mix anybody else with them. It was too early in their protocol to do that and so I Would have parents saying, you know, they wouldn't even come to the Monday at 5 p.m. They try showing up at 6 p.m. Or I'm expecting about 5 p.m. They don't even come. Okay.  What could you be doing? Making money it's not making money. You could be Doing something with your family. Okay, you'd be spending time at home You can be doing other parts of your business But instead you took time away to make sure that you're prepared for a session that nobody showed up for on that note and let's say they Can't come on Monday at 5 p.m. But they're like hey I'm just gonna come anytime that I want because I know you have all these hours of it That is not okay. Okay Because once again, they have to understand that you may or may not have enough room for them at another day in time to think about showing up uninvited basically and Even if you do have room, let's say it's a 16 year old But the time they come in is with 10 year olds That doesn't work out for anybody the 16 year old doesn't benefit very well because the level of training is down to the 10 year olds The 10 year olds are distracted by something bigger, you know, it's just not Probably how you're running your business. Okay? You want to keep things Extractured as possible and somebody says I can't come in at one You want to tell them tell me if you're not able to come in ahead of time as best as possible. Okay? And then two if you can't come in the next protocol is for them to give you possible solutions The next days and times they can't come in and then you will compare in your schedule To see if there is a fit. Okay This is something you have to do in the beginning. It's a little frustrating In a lot of people aren't used to it, but The better you do it the more you prime them. Okay for how things go for your procedures and When you that they will If they don't like it because that's just not how they live life, which I don't understand either Then they'll just leave and you'll be done with it and you can move on and have somebody else in there Who will comply with how you want to do things and everybody's going to be happy? If they don't leave they'll gradually learn to respect it because you are keeping this as professional in the business as possible and they'll learn to appreciate it as much as they respect it because now you're Giving them some autonomy, but you know they have to give you some respect to yourself also. Okay? Um So People they need to tell you if they're not going to come in. Uh, it's not okay to not say anything Uh, two they need to tell you When they're other days and times they're thinking about But they have to wait on you to give the green light To see if that works. Okay. If you don't have any of that Then you're going to have the most random sessions the most random appearances and you're basically running a daycare Not a serious sports foreman's coaching business. Okay. Uh, I worked at a gym that you know, you could We had everybody when we first went there we took over to staff They fired the other staff for doing a bad job that we went and We told me when they left. Okay parents. When is the next time you're coming in? Write it in the book Okay, if you know two or three days ahead of time write it first the next thing in the book and you're in Okay, we also told them Text the coach if you are not going to make it. Okay. And if you're not going to make it, what other days and times can you make? All right And when you do this, you want to make sure you don't get caught in trying to please everybody and open up Random times and days just to make them happy Uh, that oh, I went out of my way just to get you in and I don't know nobody worked those hours That's down a bad path because some people they still don't care You'll end up getting people like I've had in the past when we did that and Uh, I said, yeah, you know, you come at 3 p.m. Before any other groups coming because I know you'll get something done And then it's like 245. Hey coach.  Okay You need all this in your business No matter if you're going to be at a soccer field or you end up getting your own, uh, 10,000 square foot facility Okay, it's gonna make everything better. You'll be taken more seriously Um, and you don't ruin the experience of not only yourself as a coach, but also those who were in your groups that, uh Did everything the way you asked. Okay
