Now the international community and even the national level, the people want to see the impacts of the adaptation initiatives and so that for that purpose, monitoring and evaluation is a very, very, has a very, very important role to track how the adaptation is contributing towards development and development is contributing towards proper adaptation. I think there should be a need to have a common framework for the countries and especially for the southern countries as countries from the south, development countries to agree on a certain framework that can help to track their adaptation as well as developmental agendas and how effectively they are contributing each other. I think as far as Pakistan is concerned, it can play a very important role because we don't have at the moment any national monitoring and evaluation systems and we are working on that so that it can help to further the process in Pakistan. For instance, yes, we have certain monitoring and evaluation performers that is called PC3. So what the time can help that it can further enrich that particular performer so that the maximum information could be could be assessed and analyzed accordingly. I think we are one of the pioneers who are implementing LAPAs in Pakistan. So personally I think that will really help to my work, add to my work and that will be a value addition how to track our activities, the adaptation work at the district level, at the community level so that we could embed the adaptation efforts with the development agenda. Now we are using all the SLM program, phase one, it's on at this phase one stage and we are just lesson learned from this stage but on the second stage we are planning to this SLM phase two, we are planning to make an MND framework of using the time framework and also it will help us to do the baseline survey for the SLM P2 and also agreeing with the government, it will help us to draw the MND framework of the national wide agriculture sector. Tracking adaptation and measuring development that is timed has a very good, very, very essential attributes in tracking adaptation interventions effectiveness as well as measuring or say to evaluate the effectiveness of development intervention, whether it complements to each other or to negate the adverse impacts of climate change in development as well as people's livelihood in developing world. So here comes TAMD which has two tracks to do so, how institutional climate risk management is working in a context and how it is contributing to reducing vulnerability of these climate vulnerable people. So TAMD is very crucial in that particular area and we have been doing to develop a framework that is contextualized in the context of NEPAW so that we can contribute to existing MND system, national MND system where development as well as adaptation MND also existed in NEPAW and how can we contribute from bottom-up approach so that they meet at one point and I think the system, whole system from top to bottom or say bottom to top can be easily tracked. Right now we are using TAMD to research and see what are the effectiveness of the development intervention that has been done in NEPAW. We have selected a few and we intend to fit it in the government system and see what has development been done and what is still need to be done to make people climate resilient. So we are trying to adapt in the existing MND system of the government and see whether the indicators fit in that we have collected till now and the research where it fit in and how we can see the contribution from the development work towards climate resiliency. Yeah, in Kenya if you look at the National Climate Injection Plan for 2013 to 2017 which is our blueprint as far as work on climate change is concerned, you realize that one of the stronger recommendations there was to pilot TAMD in one of the counties where work on climate introduction is ongoing. The fact that we picked on that and piloted in YOLO is a very concrete example of how different initiatives can contribute to policy implementation and therefore if we get, I think by trying it out in YOLO we should be able to improve on it and help roll it out in other areas that might find it appropriate. So that's how we are using it, we are piloting in YOLO. Of course the adaptation consortium is now expanding to include four other counties Wajia, Garisa, Kituya and McQuinney and most of the consortium members have in principle accepted to use TAMD as a common M&D framework because those five counties. Having five counties pilot something I think should be able to yield robust results that we can comfortably roll out in larger areas. Right now a lot of money is being poured in our countries. Adaptation funds, mitigation, but we haven't measured the impact of that money in our countries. The main advantages of TAMD is that it monitors only, it monitors an output impact and so we can know how adaptive measures have helped the community changing their life standard from one place, from one level to another with reference to climate change.


Good morning cyber traders happy Friday everybody good to see you all on this 24th the day Was this what do we kind of call it? For Memorial Dave good to see you Grant. Good to see you Brian rich everyone Michael Donna Chuck good to see you Ben And all good to see you. All right guys. So got a lot going on this morning I don't know by way you are but it is Absolutely gorgeous here in New York awfully very windy always like to tell you what the weather is I'm not being the weatherman, but the thing is this weather has a lot to do with trading and when you get a daylight today It's not just the weather is Beautiful we know that this is the this is technically the start of summer So um You guys are probably all familiar with the Hamptons over here in New York It's where everybody pretty much goes all the billionaires and you know, you've probably see it all over TV and everything like that Kids are all from school a lot of schools are off today So a lot of people probably left yesterday. So, you know, it's gonna be a kind of a little difficult of a of a morning here Going into trays open even even though that market is up. We have 130 points right now, you know, even though we're up I'm not seeing a lot. I mean we did trade. I know Ben made some money on footlocker on the short I made a little money on this OTLK that moved Couple of the other stocks me bring those up when I got over here got the wrong damn stock up here Is the footlocker took a big hit right there and the OTLK right there, that's the one that I kind of jumped in earlier But um, but other that yeah Ben made a well 40 45 cents on that. All right, let's give him a round of applause Made more money than we've been on that OTLK. I don't know how many shares you traded I mean, it's not about remember. It's always about points guys. Remember everyone. We don't talk about One of the big things that we always do here and I always want to remind everybody We never break about how much money we make because we don't want to discourage new traders to advance traders so we always talk about we're how much more on points because 45 cents could be a hundred shares a thousand shares ten thousand shares But the goal is we're only focusing on making that amount of points It's a you know once you get used to it. You just all you got to do is add more shares to it So on but overall there was one nice stock that we did trade yesterday that I just want to bring up the MA XR That was basically the big winner of the day right there That stock just came out. You could see it right around 130. It just popped It just I guess we just news came out on it But things just pop from $7.00 wearing all the way to eight and just kind of died kind of be a little bit of a foul-stile flag had a couple of nasty shakes here But overall that was probably one of the really nice ones that did come out. What was the news on that? Oh Yeah, here it is. Josh just gave it to me matrix technology sectioned by NASA to develop a Demonstrate power Communication capsules for NASA Lurie Gateway, I know they just launched a I know that it was just a rocket That was low in Chester enough that I didn't do with it, but I guess NASA news is big. All right. Anyway, what's going on this morning? What we're looking at just guys be very very careful of today's market Okay, because like I told you it is gorgeous here. It's awfully windy. I know we had a couple of tornadoes that did hit You know gotta be careful of those It's coming. Yeah, the winds coming up over here. So You know other but other than that it is pretty here And I know a lot of people gonna be cutting it short because Monday we are closed everyone remember that it is Memorial Day I always kind of remind everybody and once again, let's let's give a big round of applause to our veterans because it's not It's just not the start of summer. It is actually it's a membranes of our veterans. So let's give them all Actually, let me give them a good electric guitar. How about that? Big big big thank you for all that. All right, so With that just be careful going on to this morning Which rating I mean there are a couple of good stocks be careful of a footlocker. You could see it's got a big spread There's not a lot of tier sizes on it and you got to be a little bit more an advanced trader So I'm gonna probably give this more of a five more than a four more than a one But the only one I thought was a more of a something everyone could afford to trade and I traded it And I got a little I thought it was gonna pop on me, but it didn't Let me show you better on the One-minute chart. It had a really nice move here I thought it was gonna go and break a higher high But she kind of died right here the stock was a $10 stock took a very big hit We traded a couple of days ago a lesson I don't know what about a week or two weeks ago had a really nice pop right there But she backed right off though. She was gonna make it. I don't know she could pop at 9 30 So but we're gonna throw it out in the watch list BIOC Another little cheap little stock a lot of you remember this stock It went from a dollar to two dollars another hundred percent even trade is back in January We're from a dollar all way to 350. That's some good volume good spread decent, but you know She's up about a hundred and seventy thousand shares up 70% a lot of volume there in a matrix, you know, not I'm not completely sold on it, but you know what it is what it is This is what you have to expect when you go into a day like this So I mean we can look at a couple of brand name stocks out there But I mean listen is really not that much out there Even if I'm looking over here in the bottom left hand corner when I'm looking at the big percentage gainers on the trade station platform I mean you talk in 16 cent stocks.  It's all garbage. All right I mean you have this one right here that the it's up 10 percent WKHS But she kind of like died. I mean she was up big yesterday after hours She kind of died right there, but it's not a really a lot going on right now. And and you know what? That's okay. That's okay because this is how you learn when to trade and when not to trade Just always remember everyone not every day is a trading day We know how Mondays and Fridays work, but this Friday is a little bit more of the extreme So just be very very careful. France is about the pot stocks. I mean Rones They're not really doing anything all the pot stocks are pretty much dead friend and I didn't see anything that looked pretty good out there There's a TRL Y is another one the LRY Yeah, I mean, this is a big one right here and not really doing anything Any thoughts on IBM? I mean it's gapped up pretty big right here, but I would probably say I will stay away from it We don't really trade stocks like this when you could see how they're very gapped in in the long-term chart when they all it Does is gap up and it just stays flat. So that's really pretty much my thoughts to stay away from those Let's just be careful of that Brian. All right. All right guys So listen does that mean that we're out of business today? No, no, absolutely not because we see what happens at 9 30 just that shows you there's really not that much going On a pre-market we talked about earnings yesterday in our in our class We talked about how many companies came out with earnings yesterday, but today I mean was a seven Nobody comes out with earnings on Friday.  Enjoy the long weekend. Go buy the lobsters before they sell out. Listen This is what you train for this is not a full-time job Imagine if there are people have to stick around and be there till 5 o'clock until you know to For work all day here. We are we can come and go in our please listen There's times when to train as times when not today's probably one of those days that are not and give remember That's okay. All right guys, but let's see what happens at the open But we'll be here all day and we'll and we'll be here going to the clothes So but I listen Friday afternoons always good, you know that sometimes companies have to come out and trade and You know and they came out with news so Sometimes if we get a good mover in the afternoon, let me tell you that they're probably the easiest ones to trade Going into any day. All right guys. Good luck everyone. Happy trading and if I don't see any afternoon Enjoy your long weekend and once again vets. Thank you very much for your your service


I think it's never really true that you're the only one that's wrong with you. Okay, look to number one. My name is Han Liu and I am a researcher from the Oxford Highland Blockchain Research Institute. And I will be talking about a research work on finding vulnerabilities in smart contracts. Okay, so commonly when you write a smart contract, you might want to do a validation procedure. For example, you can write a group of test cases to test whether your contract works or not. Or you can use a verification tool to verify whether a specific property holds or not. Or you can find an auditing team to send your contract to them and get their feedback. After that, hopefully you can get useful feedback and optimize your smart contracts and you can put them on the blockchain. But in some cases, those validations might not be able to work. For example, if there are a lot of large copies of auditing requests, it might take a while for you to get feedback from an auditing team. Or if something new, some new problems just come out and your verification and testing tool have not been updated yet, they might not be able to give you a good detection. So if you look at this CVE example which was reported last year, and you may find that this very simple integer overflow might be able to cause a zero pay transfer in this transfer proxy function. And it was happening in many other token contracts last year. And when we used some existing analyzers to analyze this security issue, they told us that nothing was found. So which was obviously a false negative in this setting. So the reason for this is that some of the analyzers, when they see an overflow, they will not directly report it. Instead, they will check whether these integer workflows will be followed by, let's say, a revert operation. If so, they might consider this as a protection mechanism, such like the SafeMath library. But this one is just not this case. So what we are trying to do is that when you have your contract, we would like to know whether your contract can be matched to some existing known security issues, and instead of directly analyzing them. So you can also do this for those contracts which are already deployed on the blockchain. And to this end, we are exploiting the idea of code clone detection technique. Specifically, we generate a birthmark representation for the vulnerable contract or the vulnerability itself. And you do the same for your contracts. And we analyze the semantics of them. And you do a sort of graph matching algorithm and identify whether they are semantically similar to each other. And given the contract, we create the control flow graphs for the contract. And we perform symbolic execution on the graph itself. And we refine the graph on the fly to make it as complete as possible. And for each basic block in the control flow graph, we first we abstract the path conditions to reach that block. And secondly, we analyze the dependency patterns in the block. For example, we will check which storage variable was first updated in the block and then used as, let's say, a perimeter of a message call operation. And such dependency pattern would help us better understand the behavior of this block itself and also the whole contract as well. And then we got a numerical form of a labeled control flow graph. And then we can do this at a contract level or a function level. And next, given a pair of contract birthmarks, we will first compute their numeric vector distance. And then we will adopt the similarity by construction ideas to calculate at what probability these two contracts or functions can be symmetrical clones to each other. And we also developed this econ tool to implement this idea. And we have done a bit of preliminary evaluation and it turns out that econ tool can manage to deliver better detection capability than baseline approach which only considers the syntactic information in the contract. And that will conclude my talk. And if you are interested in more details, you can refer to these two academic papers. And in addition to our contract security, we also do a lot of other interesting things including red tag or other secure protocols on our blockchain. And I will be happy to have any offline discussions. Thank you.


the more transparent you are, the more people are willing to help. I'm not pretending to know more than what I know. This is it and that authenticity goes a long way, especially when you're trying to really change mindsets. A leader doesn't believe they have the authority. A leader actually believes that they need the right people next to them and guiding them sometimes, even more alert and more aware and more knowledgeable than they are to elevate the entire ecosystem that they are working in.


I've gotta let this thing roll. Okay, here we go. So the most important health tip, I'm actually gonna give a few, but I'm just gonna rattle them off really quick and then talk about each one. So number one, and probably the most important is our mindset, but we're gonna come back to that last. So number one, I would say, or number two would be fasting. Fasting is such a great tool to help people without getting caught behind. And I'm gonna explain how to do that. Number two is movement, moving your body. And number three, I mean, this seems somewhat common sense, right? Number three is ketones, drink your gummy bears, drink your new ketones. And number four, and probably the most important is the mindset side of things of the holiday to stay healthy to the holidays. Now that's complicated and that's not my specialty. So I'm gonna defer to somebody that's smarter than I am when it comes to mindset. I'm pretty good, but that's not my professional. I'm gonna talk fasting, exercise, and I'm gonna talk about drinking ketones. So hey, if you do this, give me a huge wave as you come on, tell me where you're from, where you're live and in from, and happy holidays, Merry Christmas. It was funny, I actually asked the other day, I'm like, what do you say? Happy holidays or Merry Christmas? What's up, Anna? And it's funny, because when people say like, you know, Merry Christmas, that's what you say, I realized they don't have a lot of diversity of friends in different religious, which I do, I have friends all over the world and I'm like, they all have different beliefs. So anyway, appreciate you guys being on, whatever you celebrate, awesome. North Carolina in the house, Mexico, what's up, Liam? Canada, I mean, hey, how many countries can we get on? I know a lot of my countries are sleeping right now, so they're probably not up right now, but we probably get Mexico on, I bet. We got, we got Mexico, we got Canada, Mexico, U.S. I think Singapore, come on, where are you at, Singapore? Australia, where are you at, Australia, come on. So here we go. So let's talk about fasting. Fasting is not new, nothing about fasting is new. Fasting is really as simple as elimination of something, and what we're talking about is elimination of food. So when you stop eating, you're fasting, okay? Now Singapore is in the house. Yes, we did it, we did it. Merry Christmas, Mississippi. This is fun. All right, so what makes fasting so effective? There's so many layers to fasting. People go, can I do this when I fast? Can I do this when I fast? So you have to ask yourself, why are you fasting? So a lot of people gain weight anywhere from two to 15 pounds during the holidays, on average. So gaining extra weight is not a good thing, and I'm gonna talk about that on the movement side of it because that's actually really, really important. But here's the reality is the best thing you can do from now till New Year's, or keep doing it after New Year's to be honest, is intermittent fasting, meaning that instead of eating three times a day, shorten your window. So only eat within an eight hour window, or a five hour window, or a six hour window. It's what I do, it's what I've been doing for a long time. Now I used to do these long fasts, like 12 days, 14 days, 10 days, eight days, six days. I mean, I use that all the time. Three or four times a year, let's say that's all the time. But those sucked so bad.  And there's a few things you can eat between that time, but for the most part, you don't eat any food. There's a few things you can eat. What you're doing is you're shortening the window of time that you're consuming food.   So that already is gonna set you up for success. Now if you can do it relatively low carb, if you're drinking your gummy, by the way, this is available right now. This is amazing flavor. My kids don't, they can't stop. They just want more, more, more. So the reality is, is you end up eating less, but you start to feel better. Now fasting can kind of be a tricky thing, but if you can combine that with a low carb diet, you'll even feel better, you know, magnified. But it's gonna help you protect you through the holidays just to healthy. Okay, now why is that so important? Now really quick, fasting, and I'm gonna try to keep it kind of short. I do a lot of fasting videos, but number one is why it's so important is it gives your GI tract arrest. Number two, if done appropriately, you can actually create something called autophagy, and your body will actually start to cleanse cellularly. What's up, Deanie? How are you? Southern California in the house? Yes, Melody just said it's a better relationship with food. Food doesn't have to control your life. I true story, I told my wife when I met my wife, 12, 14 years ago, we're having our first or second date. And I literally told my wife, I go, someday I'm gonna starve my kids. I literally said that now, if somebody's gonna hold this against me, I do not starve my kids. I'm gonna repeat, I do not starve my kids. But the point behind it was, I didn't want them to be controlled by food. They, you can throw them out in the woods at 12 years old and they'll be fine.  Same as you. So fasting is a relationship of food. It's a relationship for energy systems. It helps your metabolism. It helps your body learn how to metabolize fat more effective. So if we can turn our body, trick our body to do this, you get really healthy. I was just talking with a dog trainer the other day.  I want somebody to answer this question.  Her name is Koa, one of the most remarkable dogs in the world. She'd get beer out of the fridge, turn on lights, shut doors, open doors. I mean, you can teach her something from the distance. I could literally teach her something. She was just a brilliant dog. Beautiful dog, 100 pounds, lived to 15. Put her, I put her on a raw diet, mostly keto low carb diet, pretty amazing. But the reality is, is if I didn't feed her, she was going crazy. She wanted food. She would do anything. But if we're always fat and happy, if we're always eating, we then get complacent. We get stationary. It slows us down. So fasting creates motion. And that's why it's so crucial to do that. Now you can start out with intermittent fasting. We can do longer fasting. We have like 24 hour fasts that we like. Our eye fasts is being released up to five days of intermittent fasting. That's not a full fast for five days.      Skip the day and go the next day. It's pretty cool. And then we have our 60 hour fast, up to 60 hour fast. So we have these different ways to help people fast. Now there's a few things that you can have in your fast. You can drink ketones in your fast. The only thing that I tell people if you're drinking our products is keto cream. During my intermittent fasting, I have keto cream every morning. But if I'm doing these longer sustained fast or really focused fast, I'll save my keto cream to my eating window. I might have it in the afternoon instead of the morning. But that's only five, seven times a month that I have my keto cream at different times. But I always have my ketones. And the reason why is it doesn't break my fast. It actually helps me feel better, more satiated, more powerful, stronger. Just I just feel so much better. So fasting is super, super important and it's easy and anybody can do it. Now, a couple of little tips about fasting you have to be careful of. Black coffee, fine, tea, fine. It's really what you put in it, right? If you put keto friendly sweeteners in it, for the most part, there's a few out there that are a little bit daisy, but alveolose, monk fruits, DVS. Those are all fine, you throw all fine. But if you put honey, kicks you out, right? If you put too much collagen, small amount probably wouldn't be five. If you put too much in, that could be a problem in your coffee.  That's why I delay my keto cream sometimes. Because it doesn't cause any type of reaction of blood sugar or anything like that because fat doesn't cause that. But that time window of letting your GI tract is really, really a good thing. So I do do that from time to time, but I do have my keto remorse every day. So if you're not fasting, start fasting. Start fasting, and I would do it sooner than later, right? Number two tip, movement. The study that just came out with Dr. Jacob Wilson and Ryan Lowry, they just talked about that. And this was the most mind-blowing study. I should do it just to talk on this only. But they did a study on who gains the most weight during the holidays. And it was really interesting because once they analyzed all the data, it wasn't the person that had a faster metabolism. All that means that the person that burns calories more naturally, meaning the person that burns more calories typically eats more calories, just so you know that, in general. So it wasn't the person that had a higher metabolism or faster metabolism. It wasn't the person that was overweight or underweight. It wasn't the person that worked out or didn't work out. What came down to who gained the most weight was the person that was active when they were inactive. You ever be around me?  I don't stop moving. And this isn't always like a positive thing just so you all know. Like it's just about weight. But this isn't always a positive thing. I have a hard time relaxing. Like I watch a movie, I just fall asleep and I just go to bed, right? Like I want to be moving all the time. So it's the person that moves when they're not moving. Why is that so important? Well, I like to work out, right? So I get to eat more because I work out. And my metabolism stays up. So I have a little bit more wiggle room in my freedom of what I'm gonna do from an eating perspective. But during the holidays, when you eat, let's say 500 more calories on average a day or maybe a week, depends on who you are.  I know doctor, they did a study at Stanford on this too about the people that bounce their leg. It causes this huge cool thing in their body. But the reality is throughout the day my involuntary movement when I'm not moving is more than a lot of people that gain a little bit more weight than I do. So I don't gain any weight at holidays, I never have. I've kind of been the same weight forever it seems.  But it wasn't, Jeff said Jeff was there when he was, but it wasn't people that moved less. It was people that moved less when they weren't moving.  Now granted, that same person will need to learn to chill the hell out like I do, right? So I'm working on meditating, right? Cause I have to try to offset my desire to always want to be moving. So, but why is it so important? If you're prones to gaining weight, you need to schedule in more activity times. And so my recommendation is every hour that you're functional hours, let's say that if you're, let's say eight hours a day, if you can take eight times a day or four times a day and schedule in three to five minutes, like I have a three minute workout, go do that for three minutes. Schedule in it. This is more important is to park far away. My kids always ask me, Justin, why do you park papa? Thought they come in papa, they don't come with us sometimes. Why do you, at school, I always park further away. Always, why? I mean, we park literally away from everybody else. Why? Cause my car is really cool and people get to see it when it's away from everybody. True story. But I want my kids walking. They'll walk. My son, I figured by the time he finishes the eighth grade of the school that he's in, I think he ends up walking like eight marathons more for the amount of steps that we take. Or so it's kind of crazy, right? For if it was twice a day and kind of average it all up. But like that's a big deal because he just naturally moving more. It's like adding to his bank account. So this is where you can park further away.  And this is outside of the gym. The gym doesn't, yes, you should all go to the gym. You should all work out. Ironically, the person that moves more typically likes to work out more, right? It's kind of a natural thing. You have to schedule this in. Maybe it's like every, at the end of every hour you do a one minute plank. End of every hour you do 25 lunges. End of every hour you do 12 push-ups. Just, it's a habit. You have to develop the habit. And it only takes times. Habits take time. And they don't take 28 days. They don't take seven days. They take a decision. Habits are decisions that you have to make continuously to eventually become a normal sensation in your life once your body has adapted to what it wants to be and how you enjoy it. That's what it is. Now, substance abuse is a different story. Different kind of habit. But from a habit of lifestyle, it's a decision. It's not a 28 day, all that time window stuff.  Because you have to want to do it. You have to want the desire. You have to have to want the end result. Otherwise you'll find a way to stop it. That's just the way it is. My mentor said this. He goes, the dire of the donut, it's greater than the dire of the backpack abs. The donut will always win. Eventually you'll go back to the donut. That's why you see people that get really fit into the bodybuilding competitions and they all step back into their old ways if the desire isn't there. And that has a mindset and that takes time and practice. That's you creating your life.  What's up, Steve? All right, last one. So movement, there's so many. I mean, get Richard Simmons out dancing to the oldies. I don't care what it is. It's not the gym if you don't like the gym. It's whatever you're willing to do and keep doing because you enjoy doing it is that's the recipe for long-term success. Should you use the gym? Yes, the gym's a tool to help amplify the things that you love. If you don't love the gym, like I absolutely love the gym. It's like a home away from home for me. Some people like the library. You can't pay me to the library. I fall asleep in the library. Gym, I like, but my mom doesn't. So I'm not trying to, I don't want her to go to the gym to go to the gym. I want her to go to the gym so that she gets better at walking because she likes to walk. So she goes there for a purpose to do what she likes to do better. If that makes any sense. Now the gym's enjoyable because it helps her do what she wants to actually do. Psychology, again. Last one, what was the last one? Oh, all right, where are my keto drinkers at? Where are my keto drinkers at? Okay, all the keto drinkers tell me your favorite flavor and your favorite benefit so far. Now I have people, this is very common where people start and stop and get on and get off and just whatever you do this for me, don't stop. We've been doing this for seven plus years.  Now there's only one company, one product that I'm gonna stand behind and that's our Truvitz keto snap. And I always tell people get back, if you invite to follow me and you've invited people to follow me, get back to whoever invited you and get your hands on this. Just don't stop.  Oh, she likes the good stuff. That's awesome. Blackberry pineapple and energy. Okay, awesome. Tangerine dragon suppresses appetite. That's good, that's good. What else we got? Maui punch for the, oh, Maui punch! Maui punch was our second flavor we introduced and it was like the greatest thing on the planet when you had one flavor for a year and a half. Wine time in the house, heart tart in the house, better sleep. It's kinda cool watching all the benefits come in, they're all different.   I say this because I haven't gained any weight. Seven years in, I'm the same weight as I was when we started proving it. I'm seven years older. I've, we went from one kid to four kids. My brother-in-law moved with us to having seizures, crazy situation. We've moved three times. We've opened an international business, global business, been around the world multiple times. My working out has been minimized considerably. I've had two major shoulder reconstructions. I've had hip replacement. I'm gonna go back and get my other shoulder, my shoulder re-done again. So pretty amazing that I've been able to maintain all that. Interminute fasting, I'd move when I can and how I can. And I drink ketones.  You're all coming back. So I just, I say that because it's a disclaimer. Like if you stop, you're gonna come back later. So just stay. People are like, I wish I would have stopped. I stopped, I wish I would have stopped. No kidding. Okay. 140 pounds, 60 kilograms down. 60 kilograms. That's you multiply 16 times 2.2. And that's how many pounds of fat. Duck's Guerrero. I've kept 150 pounds off for four years now. Boom. That's amazing. Lost two pant sizes. Anna, way to go, way to go. Lime time is a good to go for me. And I feel better. Way to go, Amanda. I love this. I love this. I know Steve's down like 60 pounds or 40 pounds or, you know, an arm and a leg. I'm not even sure. But y'all, this is what makes us exciting. So drink your ketones if you want to stay healthy for the holidays. One of the big things that holidays can be a very stressful time. And I know I said the most important one is mindset. And I'm not your mindset coach, Dr. Mitch Neubin. I know a little bit about it. Holidays were a bad time for me growing up. We were very poor. We were worse than poor growing up. And so I was that kid that never wanted anything for the holidays. Because I knew we couldn't afford it. So I'd rather not got anything. And it's something I've had to work through in my mind because I get really sad. And I don't have a great time in the holidays. But I knew when I had kids that I would want them to have this amazing experience. And I wouldn't want them to feel the way I was. And that wasn't really the motivation to have money. That wasn't my motivation. But I knew that I had to change me if I wanted to. So I've been working on this way before I had kids, by the way. And as having kids, I've had to work on this and change the way I see the holidays. Because I didn't want for me to project on to their life or their holiday experience to be negative. Because I was really negative in this world. I was very stressed and overwhelmed. But the why I say all that is that if you're not using ketones, and Dr. Mitch Neubin, and I talk about this all the time, it's like if you want to work on your mindset and change how you think about yourself, about the world, about life, your brain has to work to do that. And ketones are the most important thing that you can put in your mind. Besides your thoughts. Like from a biochemistry perspective.  And so if you're somebody that's struggling in this time of year, get your hands on some ketones, right? Because the alternative is usually wine or beer or shots or whatever else it is. And hey, I did some champagne bombs today. You know, I'll have fun with y'all. But then today I also want to try to elevate my cognition of my mind so that I can work on me and enjoy that journey. So mindset is complicated and this can be a really challenging time for people. So you may have to double up your ketones at this time of the year for people that carry on a lot of stress. What's up, Connie? Little, how are you?  We're going to go feed the kids. But have an awesome holiday. I know it's early. I know people are very distracted. But if you don't have your hands on ketones, get some ketones in your hands. I don't care if it's trial pack through the holidays, but get enough through the entire holidays. Get at least one pack in every day. You might need a couple. That's OK. But remember this is whoever, we have a huge global international business and I really want to support everybody in the team. So if somebody invited you to follow me or tagged you in something that I've said, get back to them. And I'm going to tell you commit to 60 days of this, but at least get your hands on it for now. But commit to 60 days of drinking ketones. And I promise your life will forever change. And there's sizzle, sizzle. And I would never talk about this. I think we talk about this. We can do payment plans.  I mean, there's no reason you shouldn't do it. But the reason why I don't talk about all that is as soon as you value what we have, it will be the most important thing you invest in for your health outside of maybe some relationship counseling and some mindset coaching, right? So find that value in there and then find a way to make it or get your product for free with our referral program. There's so many ways to take care of that. But I want people to really want it for the reason they need it. When people go, oh, it's expensive. And then they go buy a Starbucks or they go out to dinner. Or they go, I mean, I took my kids out to lunch. That's expensive. Taking your kids, four kids out to lunch. Well, three. One was just sitting there nursing on food. But not mine. Not mine. But get your hands on that. Of course, if you're following me, hit me up. I'll take care of you and get you all set up. But what's up, Adam? Adam, are you back in the UK yet? Are you hanging out in Florida? Where are you at? Hit me a message, brother. Hope you're well. I hope you're well. I hope you're well, guys. Happy holidays. Stay healthy, y'all. Stay healthy. Start with your mind. But you got to obviously fuel your body. So fasting, movement, and ketones are the secret weapons to getting and staying healthy through the holidays. You're in LA, dude. Dude, come up and visit me. I'm just north of San Francisco about an hour. I met Adam online. He's from the UK. Went to Florida. He works on the ship cruise. He's a performer. I want to see you perform. I mean, this is just cool. I love following his IG. It's awesome. So if you get a chance to go follow Adam's IG, it's absolutely remarkable. So appreciate you all. Have an unbelievable night. We'll be doing lives all week long up to Christmas. If there's ever a topic you want me to talk about, I can do that. I can talk about women with C-sections and hysterectomies. I can talk about ketones for days, fasting in depth, exercise, which I'm going to be talking a lot more about exercise in 2023. But I want to relate to people because in the long time I wasn't very relatable exercise because I was a freak. I used to work out eight-hour days like crazy stuff. But now I've had to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. So exercise in the room is very different. It's I would imagine it's I have the knowledge, but it's like I have to work around a lot of things. I can't do what's normal. My crossfit coach is always like, I'll teach you. You can do crossfit. I'm like, my arm doesn't go that way. I have a wrist fall off in an accident. Like we're not in fall off. But I get completely dislocated. So I don't I can't move my arms, right? So I have to modify things. So if you're somebody that's modifying and trying to adapt to many injuries or I can push you if you're great and you're perfect and you can do everything right. But most people are not that. So Jeff's on here. We need to get on a call and talk about his situation and help find a way to get fit and healthy, but make it fun and capable of. So if you ever have something you want me to talk about, well, Carol, that's a question I can't answer. They'd have to talk to their doctor. So anyways, deal with any medical stuff. Definitely work with your doctors. But I can do lives about a lot of cool things relative to fitness, ketones, fasting, health, wellness, mindset a little bit. A little bit. I have been doing a little Joe to spend some meditating and it's been really good. But I'm kind of learning the secret. One of the biggest secrets of meditating is not when you're meditating. It's what you're doing when you're not meditating. It's all the other hours of the day. And that's been my biggest lesson as I've been getting better at meditating is how I think when I'm not meditating. It's pretty interesting. So I gotta go. Have a good night, y'all. Cheers.


Everybody welcome back to another mid-journey version 5 tutorial and this one we're in Neji version 5 that's right the anime bought and I'm going to show you the new style expressive it's a new style that just launched today and it's got a bunch of cool things that are attached to it I'm going to show you how to set it up and use it because it's not quite as user as straightforward as you might like and then after that I'll show you some examples so here it is in a nutshell Neji 5 style expressive is basically described as having more mature feelings as well as a little bit more of a western style of anime or of anime art so a little more western and a little bit more mature feelings in particular it has a realistic eye style it has subsurface scattering and ambient occlusion whatever that is I have an idea what it is but it deals with a little bit more it uses those a little more and also the color tones and the palette it sort of moves towards warmer and more vibrant colors due to higher chroma so that is the the gist of what it it does we're of course going to put that into play and put it into action now if you look at my mid-journey up at the top right you'll see here I am in my own channel it's called Curtis Midjay or in my own server to be more correct and it's got me and then it's got the Neji mid-journey bought that's very important you have to be working with the mid-journey with the Neji journey bought you can't access this inside standard mid-journey at this time so with that out of the way to access this all you need to do is type in settings forward slash settings hit enter and when you do that you'll see a few options but here you'll see expressive style so I'm in Neji version 5 by default because I'm in Neji in my server and I've selected expressive style also there's two more coming this month so April 16th and 23rd just two more styles coming but there you go this is how you access it if you do not have the mid-journey or the Neji bought you can go to this link here I'll put a description in the below and what it's going to do is it's just going to go ahead and open up this here which is their website and you just need to go ahead and sign in and download the bot so you got to download it into discord it's very easy to do but you'll need to go there okay with all that preamble out of the way let's get into Neji so here we go I've got five or so examples this one here I'm going to run first I'm going to go so to do that and I'm just kind of picking random style so I'm going to go forward slash imagine and I'm going to go a group of happy students take an adventure in the woods beautiful sunlighting I'm going to run that and when I run on that you'll see that it says style expressive so that means the expressive style has been selected so what I'm going to do is I'm going to run five or so of these prompts and then I'm going to run them again without the expressive style we'll compare them and that way you can see whether or not it's something you know you want to give a crack to so there you go I'm going to run them I'm going to come back when they're done and then we'll wrap it up all right everybody so it's finished up let's take a quick look at this so here's the first one a group of happy students take an adventure in the woods beautiful sunlighting in dash dash style expressive this is what we got and it's pretty damn good I really like this third one here they're all good actually they're all kind of cute but I like the third and the fourth one especially so if you wanted to keep those or up you can basically upscale them by clicking on u3 or u4 or if they're good but you want to vary them up a little bit you can click on the v3 or v4 and make a variation like this so if I just wanted to change this up a bit I would just create a variation by clicking on that v here is the second set and this is a futuristic space station a group of human in robotic suits okay so humans in robotic suits doing some stuff also fantastic this is style expressive we're going to go through this nice and quick now here's another set of style expressive this is a shot of shibuyu street shibuyu shibuya street also you can see it's in style expressive and then a coffee shop on the beach I like a lot of these shots here and then I did one kind of a little outside the box a cute french bulldog with happy features and this gave me photorealistic results practically so a little different not gonna lie but hey you know what I like it I like that look at that bulldog so here is the version here the same prompt happy students take an adventure beautiful sun lighting knee g5 without the expressive so this is not style expressive so this is the default style and you can see they're a little bit different the colors are a little bit less vibrant there's a little bit less contrast in them the style is very similar but again you can see the differences here's the uh shot on the moon type thing where they're out there working with their suits again a little bit less contrast if we compare it to this one here these have darker and brighter colors and a little more cartoony at least on the bottom to these ones a lot less chroma so keep that in mind this is actually quite a different look here this is the shibuya street and I quite like these images if we go back to the original up here then the expressive also very very similar but look the colors are much brighter you can totally see that so you could see quite a difference here let's go down and look at the bulldog the bulldog is completely different this one here on the bottom left is cute but the other ones are all kind of cutie renders and then bang the coffee shop beside the beach blue sky great looking traditional anime style where if we go back to what we ran up here again brighter colors a little bit more um animated look to it cartoony but there you go these are the two comparisons this is how you set it up this is the become an amazing anime maker with this new style expressive it's real good it's worth a look if you have any questions leave me a comment below thanks for watching
