Good evening. This is Crime Classics. I am Thomas Highland with another true story of crime. Listen. The glass you just heard broken was not ordinary glass. It was a closed vessel of exact contour of the man's head which it held. It was raised exactly one millimeter above the skin all around and above the hair. No small feet since the hair on the head was lush and curly. Another masterpiece by Dom Llewellyn, whose secret of blowing glass to enclose human heads, died when he died. Dom Llewellyn had been called in to do a job of work on what was left of Mr. John Hayes, which was all above the neck.  Crime Classics. A series of true crime stories from the records and newspapers of every land from every time. Your host each week, Mr. Thomas Highland, connoisseur of crime, student of violence, and teller of murders. Now once again, Mr. Thomas Highland. The 18th century was only a few years old and the town was war-ick and the season was spring. Things were budding all around, trees, flowers, and there happened to be a 16-year-old girl named Catherine Hall. She appears suddenly in history this girl walking down the road. Suddenly because nobody knows what parentage put her there. Isn't that nice? A young girl swinging down a road in May. Skipping. Stops, together nuts. And alongside her, three soldiers, officers of His Majesty's Dragoons and gentlemen. Gentlemen three and guardians of Catherine and Lieutenant Armorsley has the papers in his bandolier to prove it. Guardians and their ward at a crossroad. Catherine? Yes, Uncle? Uncle Fred and Uncle Ned and Uncle Adam. I think the time has come. For what, Uncle? The time has come. Do not be shy. How is it that always you're shy when the sun shines? We have a wedding gift for you. Uncle? From all of us to you. Uncle? The gift here. A scarf. Uncle? We'll miss you. And are you? And the time now to tell you of him, of the man you will marry. Of the man who comes down this road anon to take you from us. From Uncle Fred and Uncle Ned and myself. Is he as tall as you? He is very rich. Is he as handsome as Uncle Ned? He is very rich. When has he the strength of Uncle Fred? He is very rich. But I know I shall love him well. Catherine? Yes, Uncle? Your duties as wife? Yes, Uncle? Always water in the pail and love in the pail. And? Happy marriage in a springtime day, child in the cradle on New Year's Day. Oh, yes, Uncle. Oh, yes, Uncle. He is prompt. I die with impatience. He has a fine span of horses, see? Oh, trembling. Oh, John Hayes! If your name be Catherine, get in. Uncle? Get in? Girl, get in. A kiss? Yes. Get in. Get in? Girl, get in. A kiss, Uncle, for farewell to you and Uncle Ned. Which we did in tears and kisses the whole night past. Get in, girl, get in. Here's your money, Lieutenant. Small, satchel, as was contracted for. Giddy up! For married that night, these impetuous 18th century lovers, these young people, Catherine Hall and John Hayes. History records that it was a rather hectic marriage, and the groom's father went temporarily blind from drink before the ceremony. There was unruliness among the servants, and some sources state that the bride herself tried to sneak off and had to be restrained. But married they were just as evening sun went down. And that evening, after the house of John Hayes had quieted down, after the pig had been eaten and the toast drunk, after the celebrants had gone home and the windows bolted and the doors barred, after all these things.  Come on out now. There you are. Liberty bird. You know what you want to do. What? Join the army. Join the army? Join the army. Why should I do that? I'd be so proud of you. Aren't you proud of me now? Think of you in a uniform. I never did. Then let's do it. All right. The scarlet trousers and the scarlet coat. Oh my. And the golden sash and the gleaming scabbard. And I'd stand up straight like this. On your curly hair a three-cornered hat and a cockade. And I'd march. And I'd march. And perhaps they'd send you to America. Yes, no. You could volunteer for it. You'd miss me too much. You'd suffer. I'd write to you every day. The boats to America do not sail very often. I'd knit things for you and bake things for you. But mostly. What? I'd be proud. Oh, so proud. Dear John. Well, I don't know. Join the army. Proud. Yes. What would you do? People. John. Yes. Golden sash and gleaming scabbard.  John. And you'd march so straight and tall. You'd march. Like this? Yes. Like this? Yes. Dear father. I am writing this letter to tell you that I have just come back from a 20-mile march under full pack. And I do not like it. In the six months I have been in the army, I have not found a thing that I like about it. It is march, march, march, march. In spite of my education, I am still but a grenadier. Two of the lads who joined the army with me are left tenants and wear cockades. So please, dear father, present the government with 20 pounds and secure my release from this life. I would do it with my own funds, but I had wisdom enough to assign my wealth to my wife's name before joining the army. I do not wish to bother Catherine in this matter as I am going to surprise her by my appearance in civilian garb and put an end to her loneliness. Please, father, do me this favour, your loving son, John. Oh, P.S. Please, father, just consider it alone. That curious tailor from Tottenham. Oh, Mr. Woodie, you're the one. And how about me?  If it's the butcher boy, Mr. Woodie. Yeah, I'll send him on his way. All right. Who are you? Who are you? I am John Hayes. Who? John Hayes. Oh, he'd be in the army. Not now. I am John Hayes, and I've come home to my wife. Where is she? Catherine. Who is it? Catherine. Catherine, I'm home. Dirty deserter. No. Oh, shame. Listen, I'm out of the army. But you cannot be. I just sent you a sweater. I'm out. My father paid a bounty for me, and I'm home again. Who are these men, Catherine? I'm, uh, Billing's the Cooper. I be Wood, the alehouseman. Tradesman? I? What do we need a cooper and an alehouseman here? Are you questioning me, husband? Well, I'd like to know why a cooper and an alehouseman... Welcome home. I welcome home. Ready, here and home. Drink a cheer, boys. Run to hero, come to home. Run to hero, come to home. Come to home. Come to home. Oh, husband. Dear wife. I was so proud of you when you were gone. And you told people. Oh, yes. Drink a cheer. Here. Drink a cheer. And now, wife. We will celebrate you and me and Mr. Billing and Mr. Wood. Well, I... Fair thought. We'll have a celebrate. John, you're dusty from the road. Go wash. There's a full pail, always a full pail, always waiting for your return. Go wash. Yes. Mr. Wood. Hi, Katie. Mr. Billing's. How did you come to marry such a one, Kate? He's very rich. And he's come home. His wealth is assigned in my name. I receive it but in driblets. Poor lady, shame. If I were a widow. The money? All at once. All mine. Billings? Aye. Let's make a widow. And how to do that?  Think that an axe above the fireplace? Oh, dear friends. I washed Catherine. I was proud. Bloody hero. A soldier had come home. To his wife, to his neighbors. There was wine in the room and a good fire. But it was one of the shortest celebrations on record. You are listening to crime classics and your host, Thomas Highland. This Saturday night, learn the true details of the wheel of misfortune case on gangbusters. When a wheel, gangland terminology for a driver and a crime, runs afoul of the law, he cuts himself out of the crime in question. After the robbery comes off, the wheel declares himself in for a cut of the spoils and murder results before police clamp the lid on the crooks. Gangbusters, this Saturday night on most of these same stations. The same evening to listen for CBS Radio's thrilling gun smoke series. And now once again, Thomas Highland and the second act of crime classics. And his report to you on John Hayes, his head and how they were parted. Historical background. We are concerned here with England and the early 1700s. George I sat upon the throne and the terms Whig and Tory were being muttered and bandied about and chopped on walls. During one February, the great Sir Hubert Denny time away from the Navy, went ashore long enough to invent the side pocket, only to die a year later in the Fiji's. And in April, a month which concerns us most, King George put his queen in prison because of her part in the Fon Kuniksmak affair. But we are concerned most with a citizen of the time, Mr. John Hayes. We hear of him next on the evening of April 22nd. Two lovers who had never heard of him strolled along the Thames. Strolled. Let's sit here, duck. No, Thomas. So they strolled on. Mary. Duck. Let's sit here. Oh, no. And on. I like it here beneath the bridge, don't you? Well... See how the shadows lie like lacy web. Where? Yon. Oh. Let us sit and watch and see how they quiver a shining moon, a trail in the sky. Here? Just so. Mary. Duck. You are dear to me. Hush. And how to wash this torrent inside me. Fair Mary. Fierest and most lovely. And how the blushes to your cheek beneath the moon. Thomas. Yes, Mary. I too. Thomas. This is an unreality which we see, Mary. A conjugation of shadow and moonlight. But it has such curly hair. Lacy shadows. And eyes and lips that grin.  There in the mud. It'll go away. How can it? It's an abomination. Come. It's not real. It is real. It is not.  Go see. All right. Well. Go. A head. Of a man. Of a curly-headed man. I knew it. Thomas Ascot. I did not want to come down here in the first place. You made me. You made me. A head. Go. So they discovered the head in the mud of the Thames. And after they married, they had a lot to talk about. It was the head of John Hayes, all right. But nobody knew it then. Thomas Ascot reported his unusual find to the constabulary. Who went to the spot, saw that the lad was indeed a truthful lad, poked about searching for a body to go with the head, failed, and then brought back what had been found to the sheriff's offices. They cleaned and combed the find, known as dressing the head in the trade. Then they mounted it neatly on a 10-foot pole. This was the custom of the day. Whenever an extra head was found, mounted on a pole, exhibited in the town square so it could be identified. Nobody, however, came forward in the prescribed three days, so Dom Llewellyn was called in. Do that thing you do with glass, Dom, he was told, with heads, and close this one for preservation purposes. And Dom did, with caliper and a secretly fashioned glass and blowpipe. And Dom did. In the meanwhile, back at the home of Catherine Hayes, she's just stepped out of her door on her way to the cheese stall. Mrs. Ascot. Mrs. Martin. Good morning to you. A marketing? A marketing. Mind you, if I go along, if I walk with you. Neighbor who walks alone? Neighbors alone? Aye. Why was the poet who first said that? Mrs. Ascot. Yes? A question. Ninny-do. How go your two borders? A pace. So? Yes. Mr. Wood is an attractive one. Wouldn't you say? In truth, I had not noticed. Nanny, nanny, nanny. In truth? I suppose you'll say you have not noticed the prettiness of Mr. Billings. Not at all. Through the goodness of my heart for poor tradesmen, they live in my cellar. Truth, I never see them. And Mr. Hayes, your husband. Of him what? I have not seen him. I heard he has returned from the army, but I have not seen him. No wonder. No wonder? If he is on his way to Portugal, how could you see him? How indeed. But Mrs. Hayes. Yes? So long he was in the army, then home to such a young and comely as you, then within four days he offs to Portugal. Restless, John. My last words to him as he left. Restless indeed. Would that my husband were restless like that and off to Portugal. And a cooper like that, Mr. Billings, about. Some has all been lucky. And Mrs. Martin shook her head sadly all the way to the cheese dolls. There she selected a good round Edam and went home and told all the neighbors that John Hayes had hide off to Portugal. And neighbors told neighbors and everybody was satisfied. For a week. For it was a week later that Mrs. Martin went down to London on a visit to a friend. It was an infrequent trip for Mrs. Martin and her friend took her around the shore of the sites. The finest statuary, the Bestians, and on a Sunday afternoon he took her to see a head which had been encapsulated by Dom Llewellyn and which was on exhibition at the Constabulary Museum. And seeing it, Mrs. Martin said this. Well, I do believe I know that man. And her friend took her to the sheriff to whom she repeated herself. Well, I do believe I know that man. What man? Why the man in that room there. The one who's heads in the glass. You know him, you say? Did he? You're certain? Did he? Did he do? Who is he? A neighbor to me. Husband to a young lass, poor lass. Ah? Poor lass, barely seventeen, I'd say. And her husband dead in such a way. Who is she? What's her name? Catherine. Catherine Hayes. And he who you've got like you've got is her hobby, dear. John Hayes. I'll be confused, I'll be. How? What's he doing in that room like he is when he's in Portugal? What's he doing there indeed? Madam. Aye. Will you take me to your neighbor? Did he? Did he? I will. I did not have you around. Katey and I. We've got enough of you around, Katey and I. What say you, Katey? I'll settle it between you. Listen to me, alehouse man. I'll just soon slit your gullet as I look at you. And I'll do it if you don't leave us alone. Talky. It's all you're good at, Billings. Come to me so I can let the air out of you with a knife. Aye! I'll settle it between you. Sheriff of London Town. For what? If you'll be Mrs. John Hayes, I come to take you with me. For what? To show you of your husband if he be the one whose head we have. Head? Aye. And madam? Aye. The two men I aspire over your shoulder may I inquire of their wealth? Friends to me. And your husband? I would say so. We will all ride down to London Town. And now, Mr. Wood, I will show you a thing. Come with me. Look you. Who is this man whose head is in this glass? I do not know. Who is this man? I do not know. I swear it. I am a pious man. When I swear a thing, it is sworn to. And it is the truth. Very well. Sit there. Mr. Billings. Close the door, please. Walk to that table, Mr. Billings, and tell me whose head it is in case there. Mr. Billings. Aye. What have you done with the rest of Mr. Hayes? Mr. Hayes. Did you put an axe in such a way as to sever his head? Me? You? No. Very well. Sit there. Mrs. Hayes, please. Is that your husband's head who is on the table? No. You are not looking at the head, Mrs. Hayes. Nor do I need to. For my beloved husband, my strength and my love is in Portugal. Mrs. Hayes. What? Will you look at the head, please? I will not. I will bring it to you so you can see. Do not. For what reason? Do not. Do not. It is not my hubby love, John, when he isn't. Pretend, Mrs. Hayes. Pretend he is not in Portugal, and so pretending tell me, is this your husband? No. Are you sure? It is not my husband. Perhaps you need a better look. No. No. It is not John. Not him. I hold him by the hair and close to you. Now tell me. John. John, hubby love. Your husband? Yes. Yes. They, they did it. Billings and wood. Say, lawyer. No shame and no lies.  I, while you fetched a pale to catch his head. And laughed as you caught it. In the name of his majesty, I charge the three of you. Charge them, not me. The three of you. Three of them were tried. Billings and wood on the charge of murder. Catherine on the charge of petty treason, which was 18th century talk for killing one's husband. All were found guilty. Wood died in jail. Billings was hung in chains. And Catherine, let me read to you from a journal of the times concerning Catherine. An iron chain was placed about her body and fixed to a stake. On these occasions when women were burned for petty treason, it was customary to hold them by means of a rope passed round the neck and pulled by the executioner so that they were dead before the flames reached the body. But the flames leaped so high that the executioner burned his hands so that he could not strangle, so that Catherine Hayes was burned alive. It is interesting to note that a graph of petty treason in England for a whole year after that shows a decided drop before it picks up again. In just a moment, Thomas Highland will tell you about next week's crime classic. John Hayes, tonight's crime classic, was adapted from the original court reports and newspaper accounts by Morton Fine and David Friedkin. The music was composed and conducted by Bernard Herman, and the program is produced and directed by Elliot Lewis. Thomas Highland is portrayed on radio by Lou Merrill. In tonight's story, Betty Harford was heard as Catherine, Jeanette Nolan as Mrs. Martin, and Alastair Duncan as John Hayes. featured in the cast were Ben Wright, Richard Peel, Charles Davis, and William Johnstone. Bob LeMond speaking. Here again is Thomas Highland. Next week, Mahadvat, India, in the year 1894. We will concern ourselves with a father and son who just didn't get along to the point where one of them had to go. My report to you will be on Rashi among the crocodiles and the prank he played. Thank you. Good night.

Hello there, shipmates. I'm Rev. John Kirby, Chief of Information here at the Pentagon, Washington, D.C. I wanted to talk to you a little bit about an issue you may have seen in a Navy Times story online about the Navy working uniform, the Type 1 uniform. You may have also seen a message from Admiral Gortney, the Fleet Forces Commander, about the same issue. The issue is this. The uniform, Type 1 Navy working uniform, is not flame resistant. Now, we knew this, and hopefully you knew this. There's been no requirements since 1996, as a matter of fact, for that working uniform or any working uniform aboard ship to be flame resistant. Because we know we're going to issue you, when you get a board ship, the right organizational clothing you're going to need based on where you're working aboard that ship and based on your firefighting duties for what you need. Now, this test was done back in October. It was an impromptu test, not one that we planned for, but it found that in fact the uniform is not flame resistant. It also found that it burns robustly until complete consumption and that it melts. That also is not a huge surprise because it is a 50% nylon uniform. Now, the question is, is the requirement right? The requirement that has existed since 1996. And that's what Admiral Gortney and Admiral Haney want to go look and try to find out. So together, they've agreed that they need to continue to look at our requirements for working uniforms, determine the best way forward, and they're going to do that. Right now, there's no change to the fleet requirement for the working uniform at sea. Right now, you can continue to wear that uniform. You should continue to wear that uniform appropriately. And as the mick pond likes to remind us, the focus needs to be on wearing it smartly and rightly. And that's where we're going to be focused right now. I guarantee you that as things develop and as we know more, we're going to be in touch with you just as readily and as quickly as we can to keep you informed. Thanks for your service.


Want to learn about stocks, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and the metaverse? Join RichTV.io. Guys, how you doing? This your host with the most. Your boy Rich from RichTV Live. And we're here to talk to you about our world famous pop 10 crypto for April 2023. Everybody knows I love Bitcoin. Everybody knows Bitcoin is my number one crypto holding full disclosure there. Everyone knows I love Ethereum. Everyone knows Ethereum is my second largest crypto but what am I top 10 right now, right here for April 2023 in a year where crypto and Bitcoin has been absolutely on fire and has already been named the number one asset class in the world already for 2023 and we're only in the fourth month and we've got Bitcoin having in about a year. So there's so many catalysts coming for Bitcoin, so many different things to talk about. Let's talk about our top 10 for April right here. Exclusively on RichTV Live. In number 10, we have NEO, N-E-O. I do not own any NEO, but it's one that I like. Here's the reason, circulating supply, only 70 million in circulating supply, really tight supply and a max supply of only 100 million. You can see in the last year, it's come down from 27 to where it is today. So it's been much higher. It's also been a little bit lower. And if you look at the all-time high, you can see this thing has touched a high of $169 and on the last big run, $120, we're sitting at under 12. There could be a 10x opportunity here for NEO. Put on your radar, put on your watch list. My number 10 pick for April 2023. Now in number nine. This is one I've talked about for years, always been bullish on this, but it was actually my first crypto that I ever bought, Litecoin. And they're my number nine pick right now for April 2023. And they've already been doing well in April. Once again, I love the circulating supply, only 72 million. It's very important to me, okay? Which stocks and crypto is supply. And NFTs really is supply. Just like real estate, supply and demand, right? Location, location, location is the same thing with stocks and crypto. You wanna buy stocks and crypto with reasonable supplies. When you get in the billions, it gets really, really risky. So take a look at this. We've seen Litecoin hit a high of 360. We've seen it hit a high of 391. And we're currently sitting at $92. It's been having a really nice little run here. Hit a low in last year of $63, currently at 92. So making a nice little return, but there's a long way to go for Litecoin. And that's why they're my number nine pick for April 2023. Love Litecoin for so many different reasons. And it's been one of the biggest names for the longest times and it's been around for it seems like forever. Now in number eight, it's a company that's having a little bit of problems recently. A lot of rumors going around that they're going to potentially go after their CEO, Interpol rumors, like all kinds of crazy rumors. But at the end of the day, I'm a big fan of Binance. They've done extremely well and they are the number one exchange on the planet, okay? Binance is the number one exchange on the planet. There we go. There's Binance, BNB, and it's currently sitting at $310 and has a max supply of 157 million. So a reasonable supply. And if you look at the all-time high, and this has been one of the greatest picks we've ever done with crypto. We did a video on Binance when it was at $6. Binance at a high of just under $700. $676. And then another high of 636. Currently sitting at 300. We did a video about Binance when it first came out when it was at $6 in 2017. Today it's sitting at 300. It's been an absolute monster, the largest crypto exchange on the planet. How can you not like Binance? Obviously going through some ups and downs, but they're still my number eight pick for April, 2023. And they're almost always in my top 10 because they're just such a good quality company. Baby Doge in number seven, Baby Doge. So this is super risky. I'm not telling you to go and buy it, but it's one that everyone's talking to me about all the time. So I had to at least bring it to your attention, put it on your radar, put it in watches. Look at all these zeros. It breaks every rule in the book. It's got trillions of coins out there. So it's not one that I personally buy. It's not the one that I'll personally own. But you know what? If you want to throw a hundred bucks in it, see what happens. Who knows? Sometimes these crazy cryptos when cryptos explode, weird things can happen. You can see that this has actually gone up and down and up and down and up and down been very volatile. So there may be some more volatility coming. There may be some price action coming. I know a lot of people that are in this coin. Okay, a lot of people, good investors too, that own some baby doge. So one to put on your radar, put on your watches, more of a meme coin, super risky, but one that a lot of people are talking to me about. So that's why I decided to put them on my list. My number seven pick for April, 2022. And that's because doge is also on fire. So baby doge might take advantage of some of that momentum. Now another pick that's been ripping lately is Ripple XRP, absolutely ripping. A lot of rumors that they may be winning their court case with the Securities and Exchange Commission. So one that I've always liked, but I'm not holding right now just because they've really been stuck in the mud since this court case. You can see it's gone as high as $3. That's where I should have sold. It's come back down, made another big move to $1.80, came back down, another move to $1.40, came back down, hit a low of like, let's say like 30 cents. And now we're back up, it got to like 58. Now we're back to right around 49. So everyone's watching to see if this, these guys can beat the SEC. They can beat the SEC. That can be the biggest catalyst we've ever seen for XRP, Ripple and for crypto. So keep your eye on Ripple, my number six pick for April, 2023. And now we're in our top five. So in number five, OMG. OMG, OMG network, my number five pick for April, 2023, currently $1.52, circulating supply, another reasonable circulating supply of 140 million, right? Not all of these do, right?  Ripple has a ridiculous supply, but OMG, 140 million. That's a good supply, I like that. When we take a look at the chart, you can see been up and down, but it's been as high as $25, it's been as high as $17. We're sitting at a buck 50. For us to go back to 17, we're talking about another 10X. And I love 10Xs. This is another one to put on your radar, put on your watches, OMG, my number five pick for April, 2023. And we're coming into our next bull market. And when the next bull market comes, a lot of these picks are going to absolutely explode. You need to be in them before they explode if you want to take advantage of them. And that's what I'm talking about right here and right now. And in number four, Cardano, I'm really bullish on Cardano. I know that the Simpsons has predicted that they're going to $30. They're currently at 38 cents. A $30 move would be a 1,000X. 1,000 times your money, right? So that would be pretty amazing. 10X would be $3, sorry, 100X. You'd be 100 times your money if it went from $3 to $30. 1,000X would be $300. So I don't know if it'll hit 300, but if it's 30 and we can make 100 times our money, that literally means you can make 100 grand on $1,000. So very bullish on this, it's hit $3 before. So why not hit it again? If it hits $3 again, that's a 10X from here, really like Cardano. I do not own any right now. I've had it in the past, but I'm really interested in getting back in. I do not love the supply. 35 billion, that worries me a little bit, but I like everything else. They're my number four pick for April 2023. Now in number three, Doge. Doge exploded yesterday on news that Elon Musk literally took the Doge mascot, the dog, and put it as the mascot for Twitter instead of the blue Tweety bird. Crazy move, but Doge is still up 25% on this move. The question is, will he maintain it? That remains to be seen. Another one with a huge circulating supply, very risky, but they got the power of Elon Musk behind this. So it's a very special coin, and it's been as high as you could see here as just under 70 cents. It actually hit it high in that day of almost a dollar. It's come back down, it's been lower, it's been higher. It's right now sitting at 9 cents. I think we could see this go back to a dollar just on hype and momentum during the next bull market, which is gonna be happening in the next 12 to 24 months. So in my opinion, Doge coin, one of the top coins right now for April 2023. They got the power of Elon Musk behind it, and that is a really big thing. Now in number two, if you've been watching Rich TV Live, you already know my last two picks, it's always the same and it never changes. Ethereum is number two at 1,863. My second largest holding in crypto, big fan of Ethereum, been a big fan of Ethereum since day one. You can see it did hit a high of $4,000 during the last bull market. We're curling at 1,800. I think we see that four or 5,000, maybe even 10,000 during the next bull market. So we have a chance to do really, really well with Ethereum, I'm very excited about it. I'm accumulating as much Ethereum as possible. And I think you need to too. And once again, Ethereum has a very tight float, very important, only 120 million in their supply. So very tight float, another reason why the tokenomics make Ethereum a great play. My number two pick for April, 2023. And in number one, the mothership Bitcoin, my number one pick every single month, it's been absolutely on fire already up 70 over 70% so far in 2023. And we're only just starting the fourth month, Bitcoin currently 28,000. Congratulations to investors all over the world. We love Bitcoin, they're our number one pick. And I believe the upside is absolutely tremendous for Bitcoin. We are gonna have a Bitcoin having in March of 2024. So that's around the corner. And you can see we've been as high as 69,000. And every time Bitcoin has a bull market, it goes even higher. So maybe during this bull market, we see 100,000. So really excited to see where Bitcoin is gonna go. I believe long-term we see Bitcoin go to a million, most likely around 2030. So we got what, less than seven years until Bitcoin goes to a million dollars. So I believe everyone needs to own at least one Bitcoin. That's my advice to you. Remember, Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes.

Well, hello and welcome to Jonathan from the heart. I'm Jonathan assay of Jonathan assay.com And I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today our topic Watch this before you use a dating app or before you use a dating app Watch this really quickly. If you're new to my YouTube channel, please hit the subscribe button hit the bell So you can be notified of new content These are actually my weekend videos that I shoot out on my balcony that are very similar to the videos that I Shoot in my private group called midlife love mastery check out the link below In the description so you see if you'd like to join our group and you can have direct access to me on a regular Basis through a private Facebook group and a once a month webinar. All right, we're going to talk about dating apps for a second because Let's just get real Dating is a cluster F. Okay. I'm saying a cluster F. I didn't say the F word F exclam asterisk, if you will you seek a hair CK And and part of it is because you know human beings are no longer meeting in the same venues that we did You know throughout history. We met in villages. We met in tribes. We met in towns We met at work and now not just because of the pandemic because of all facets of life We are not exposed to single eligible people on a regular basis And this is where this little device came in and revolutionized the opportunity to meet people The challenge is though that most people are hung up on where do I meet quality men? Where do I meet quality women? Where do I meet these people? Okay, so think about this for a second Where do you meet people first you have to be seen by single eligible people think about that for a second You have to be seen by someone Okay, and they have to know that you're single and eligible and as we age We're no longer in an environment like we were in high school or college or in our 20s Where we're surrounded by single eligible people This is why dating apps have just exploded because it gives you access to more people than ever before And here's the real challenge now. We have access to all these people. How do we filter these people?  So these are some of the challenges with the dating apps, but here's the even deeper challenge is It's very difficult to communicate with our thumbs. It's very we weren't human beings weren't designed to communicate with their thumbs.  I wonder if you can guess what the t-shirt is It's Willy Wonka All right, so It's very difficult to communicate with our thumbs human beings weren't designed to communicate with our thumbs In fact, we weren't even designed to communicate via zoom or video and whatnot We were designed to communicate face-to-face. In fact, 80 90 percent of all communication is non-verbal. It's our our body language It's our pheromones. It's our eyebrows moving. It's our ears twitching if those happen I don't think my ears twitch But we weren't designed to do this so absolutely dating is very frustrating, but it's not dating that's frustrating It's how do it's the meeting process that's frustrating when I don't mean physically meeting the first time I'm talking about meeting them to create the connection And then what makes it even more frustrating is we swipe and we swipe and then there's more after more after more after more And so I guess the real question I'm bringing up today is how do we overcome this? How do we solve this? We solve this by actually first building the relationship with ourselves Before you ever go on a dating app build a healthy happy relationship with yourself This is why I wrote my book called what the heck is self-love anyway what the heck is self-love anyway It's a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work to shore up our inside Because the dating process the process of meeting through the internet is an absolute pain in the butt And this is why I'm such a big proponent of reading this book if you haven't read it yet called if the Buddha dated if the Buddha dated I highly recommend reading this book it allows you to explore Relationships from a spiritual perspective when I mean by spiritual perspective I mean from a heart-centered Higher self so you can tap into your intuition and why this is so critically important is We're not gonna gonna get around the fact that the internet is the way most people are meeting in fact 50% of all new relationships for people over 45 years old is happening through an online connection Now that's anecdotal and I will I encourage you ask any of your friends who've gotten in a relationship in the last few years Ask them where they met and I bet you have one out of two times. It's going to be the internet So why is it important to read these books before you do online dating? Why is this so critically important because when you shore up your self-worth your self-esteem your self-confidence? You're not going to be bogged down by the crap that Craps of not a fair judgment the The challenge of so many different swipes with and here's the real kicker You'll begin to develop your intuition if you're not familiar with Malcolm Gladwell's book blink It's learning how to parse things so you can actually learn to develop your intuition on the inside So you can be able to tell if someone's actually a good candidate and that's what I want you to lean into So much more is developing your intuition So you can actually feel into whether or not someone's a good candidate for you or not Because we dismiss good people all the time and then we go after people that are misaligned for us All the time I've done it you've done it We've all done it and I'm here to say the most important relationship You're ever going to have is the relationship with yourself because the quality of your relationships in your life Determine the quality of your life. That's Esther Perrell and I want to encourage you with this video is yes Dating apps are not going in a way going away, and there's still one of the best places to meet new people How do we overcome the frustration piece by building and shoring up our Insides so we can actually invite a great person into our lives, and that's my invitation with this video today Is this sinking in is this resonating? I hope it is Look it I get it I'm I'm frustrated with the process to a lot of you asked Jonathan. Why are you single? Well? I work from home Here's my home. I'm looking out at the ocean right now No women are walking up to my house and saying Jonathan. I'd like to go out with you I'd like to know if you're interested in going out. This isn't happening for me, and I suspect it's not happening for you How do we connect with people and and and sadly because the pandemic we can't go out and meet people? That's going to change actually rather quickly Online is how we're connecting with people and I want to encourage you to get better at the process And if you need some support at that check out the link to a free discovery call with me to see if working with The coach is right for you. My expertise is to help you learn how to vet for emotionally mature men that are ready Capable and willing to be in a relationship for the versus those that are so wounded that they're incapable to either Receive love or give love beyond the first initial.  How do we go deeper? And that's my invitation how to spot those men because when you get better at spotting those guys You're gonna have a much better experience. Is that sinking in? I hope so Alright, if you have some thoughts, please post a comment below. I'd like to hear them as always I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do. Excuse me first off giving myself a big gigantic John the bear hug of self love I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone or a pet or a teddy bear or a pillow and give it or them a hug of love I just spit Because hugs are a great source of love and we can all use more love in our lives. Thanks a bunch. Bye. Bye now


Freshman GOP lawmaker Madison Cawthorne is one of 17 Republicans who are signing on to a letter where they are Committing to work with Joe Biden Now this is kind of weird, especially for someone like Madison Cawthorne who just a couple of weeks ago Objected to the certification of the election results on grounds that he believed Joe Biden is an illegitimate winner. He did not win fair and square He believes the lie that Donald Trump told about the election being stolen So it's weird because if you think that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president Then why would you commit to working with the president who you claimed was illegitimate? This is I think a question that we have to ask ourselves now thankfully he appeared on CNN and the anchor did ask him this question and went a little bit further and Tried to get him to explain why he believed that the election was stolen from Donald Trump And you are going to see him make a complete fool of himself This is content that is so cringe-worthy. I think it should go in like the Hall of Fame You can see him get visibly flustered. He faced plants. He doesn't necessarily know what to say You can kind of tell that he knows Realizes that he contradicted himself and then he tries to like explain himself further It's just a really bad look. I enjoyed every second of this. Take a look. Can you just share some specific examples of? Election fraud what are some specific examples that informed this bold decision this audacious decision even after the riots took to Decertify the results. You must have seen some concrete evidence Well Pam the things that I was not Objecting to the election on behalf of was things like dominion voting machines changing ballots or these u-haul trucks pulling up filled with Ballots for Joe Biden as president the thing I was objecting for is things like in like I said in the state of Wisconsin particularly in the town of Madison there was a an appointed Official in that town who actually went against the will of the state legislature and created ballot drop boxes Which is basically ballot harvesting that was happening in the parks, but this was all litigated You know that the Trump campaign litigated all of this more than 60 cases and they lost either the cases were dismissed the Trump campaign withdrew or they never brought a case because they didn't have the evidence to back it up Indeed, I believe specifically and this is the one that I debated on behalf of on the house floor in Wisconsin That was never heard because they dismissed it because of standing now I don't believe that that is a concrete enough of well There were three Trump okay, so you have Wisconsin, but you never you ended up not actually voting against Wisconsin It was just Arizona and Pennsylvania didn't have the Senate votes but three Trump appoint a judge actually throughout these cases because of Merit it was because of merit there were three Trump appointed judges out of all of these judges and the more than 60 cases that were tossed out and you keep talking about Wisconsin I'm still not hearing any specific examples of fraud if you would just tell us what are the specific examples you saw a fraud because When you think of fraud you think of a vote you're slipping one past the election official or a vote was stolen somehow It didn't count. Did you see that specifically? No payment like I said that's not the reason I contested the election hold on so you wanted to throw out millions of votes Without actually seeing any concrete evidence of fraud because that's what you were doing when you were contesting the election The intent there was throwing out millions of votes Well, I disagree with you on that point that was not my intent my intent was to hold up the Constitution and setting up ballot drop boxes Which is essentially ballot harvesting in Wisconsin is unconstitutional because the state legislature said they didn't want that So you know more than the judge the Trump appointed judge who said that who actually looked at that case before the election and dismissed the Trump campaign's Argument that drop boxes are unconstitutional. And if you would would you point to me and where in the Constitution? It says that drop boxes are unconstitutional. I don't recall seeing that in the Constitution So we'll just stop it right there because it doesn't get much better for him. That was awful like If I'm like one of his advisors, I'm trying to train him on like answering questions Properly and coherently.  I'm just saying that the election was stolen And I objected to the certification of the election results because in Wisconsin there were ballot drop-off sites Therefore the entire election is illegitimate. Let's throw out millions and millions of ballots Really, that's that's your argument and what's weird is that the contradiction emerges very clearly when She points out that he did not object to the certification of the results in Wisconsin He objected specifically to Pennsylvania and Arizona Now it was because you need senators to sign on to that process as well But still if you're claiming Wisconsin Why is that the only state you're pointing out when you also objected to the certification of the results in Arizona and Pennsylvania like What you're saying doesn't make sense It's a contradiction and on top of that like what he says about Wisconsin in particular and why it was supposedly rigged is nonsensical so first of all drop boxes were approved by the Wisconsin elections Commission and They provide people a place to drop off their absentee ballots. This isn't controversial at all But according to him, this is illegal because it's tantamount to ballot harvesting, which is illegal in Wisconsin This is his claim anyways, but first of all it's not the same thing as ballot harvesting and second of all Wisconsin doesn't actually Specify whether or not a third party can collect and return someone else's ballot and the only state where so-called ballot harvesting is illegal is In Alabama not Wisconsin so he makes an assumption and then makes a logical leap based off of that flawed assumption And you just don't have enough evidence to go from point A to point B But all of this is moot because you voted in favor of certifying the results in Wisconsin It was Pennsylvania and Arizona So where's the evidence specifically that it was rigged in Arizona and Pennsylvania like do you understand why there's a problem here? He can't figure out the argument that he wants to use to claim that the election was stolen and Do we know why that's the case folks? It's because he has no Evidence that the election was stolen because the election was not stolen There is not evidence that widespread voter fraud and election fraud led to the results changing So that's why he was sitting there scrambling Trying to make up some reason as to why we should throw out millions of votes and literally invalidate an election Like he can't he can't explain it. Well, these drop-off sites that is actually ballot harvesting I don't like them.    So get it together. Maybe instead of like lying and You know using these conspiracy theories to misinform people.   They just care about delivering for their corporate donors and suppressing votes and Really, it's all about self-aggrandizement like he didn't run for Congress because he cares about people He ran for Congress because he wants to be in a position of power Like if he if I'm wrong about that he can prove me wrong put up some policies sponsor some legislation now That would actually help the American people, but he's not gonna do that because this dude is a fraud


Steering dampers can be a lifesaver if you're into rallies, cross countries or sandracing, but not many people understand how they work or even how to adjust them. That's exactly what we're talking about today. Anyone that likes to go fast, like really fast, will know the fear of having the handlebars sweeping uncontrollably. And hopefully it doesn't end with a crash. Well, steering dampers are designed to reduce exactly that and big time. Scots has a well-established house in the off-road industry, as they've been around since 1974 and have been equipping several champions since 1986 with their steering stabilizer, in the Baja 1000, cross countries and even the Dakar rally. Still to this day, it's the most adjustable steering damper available, with three adjustable damping circuits. A steering damper is, in essence, a hydraulic shock absorber just for the steering. But why exactly does the handlebar sweep or head shake happen? While the back wheel can only move according to the swing arm axis, the front wheel can move up and down thanks to the forks and also rotate according to the steering axis. When riding fast, hitting rocks or roots can cause an unwanted deflection of the front wheel. Since there's nothing to prevent the wheel from rotating harshly on the steering axis, it can cause the handlebar sweep, severely destabilizing the rider.  Let's take a look. A steering damper is usually comprised of an assembly of two parts. The tower pin, connected to the frame, and the steering damper itself, connected to the handlebars, which makes use of hydraulic circuits to limit the speed at which the steering turns. On the top cap, there's the base valve, responsible for the low-speed damping and the high-speed valve, responsible for the high-speed damping. On each side of the top cap, there are the sweep valves, responsible for creating damping only when the steering is forced from the centerline to either side and can adjust the range of damping. If we remove the top cap, we'll see the main wing on the oil reservoir. The handlebars will make the main wing push the oil from one side of the wing to the other, through the circuits in the top cap. The main wing is connected to the link arm, which is connected to the tower pin. Since the tower pin is fixed to the frame, any handlebar motion will make the main wing sweep through its stroke. Let's see how these three circuits work together. When the steering is turning to the right, the oil on the left side of the main wing has no open circuit on the sweep valve and is forced to go through the base valve, creating low-speed damping. If the oil pressure keeps increasing, the high-speed valve creates enough damping to control the handlebar motion. Once the main wing is over the first open hole of the sweep valve, it creates an oil bypass, reducing all damping, allowing the handlebars to move freely until the steering stop. When the handlebars go back to the center line, the damper doesn't create any damping because the sphere on the sweep valve no longer blocks the circuit and creates an oil bypass through the motion of the main wing. Who would have thought that such tiny circuits could do so much? Besides all this clever stuff, Scott Steering Stabilizer takes the adjustability of steering dampers to a whole new level and allows you to adjust all three damping circuits separately. Just dissect each one. Each sweep valve has several openings to determine how far the circuit will provide damping. If the sweep adjusters are at a 9 o'clock position, the sweep valve will break damping the earliest and the steering will only have 34 degrees of damping. If the sweep adjusters are at a 12 o'clock position, the second opening one the sweep valve will be unblocked and the steering damper will break damping at 44 degrees. If the sweep adjusters are at a 3 o'clock position, the third opening on the sweep valve will be unblocked and the steering damper will break damping at 54 degrees. When the sweep adjusters are at a 6 o'clock position, there won't be any bypass circuit on the sweep valve and the steering will have damping throughout its whole range. The base valve and high speed valve are positioned in series, which means that depending on how the base valve is adjusted, it will have an effect on the damping generated by the high speed valve. The base valve looks a lot like a traditional low speed clicker adjuster on a fork. The more you turn the adjuster clockwise, the smaller the area between the needle and the canal and the more damping you'll feel on lower speed turns of the steering. This can be suited for sandy conditions or fast and straight type of riding. If you turn the adjuster counterclockwise, the bigger the area and the less damping you'll have, which can be particularly useful if you ride on more technical terrain or single track. The high speed valve consists of a center canal where the oil flows through easily at low speeds, but at really high speeds it becomes too restrictive. The more you tighten the adjuster, the more sensitive it will become to nasty tree roots or unexpected potholes or rocks. The steering damper from Scots can fit almost every riding need and style, whether you're doing tight trails, riding in the sand, or going flat out through the desert. It's just a matter of tweaking it to your liking. For many, a steering damper is a must when stability is of the utmost importance, as it will allow the rider to blast through anything with confidence and with a guarantee he won't get any surprises along the way.

Hey everyone, welcome to this CUBE Conversation featuring Nexla. I'm your host, Lisa Martin, and today we are joined by Socket Sarab, CEO and founder of Nexla. Socket, great to have you on the program. Lisa, thank you so much for having me here. Really excited about this. Tell us a little bit about Nexla. What is it that you guys do? Yeah, you know, we are in the world of data and one of the biggest challenges that we face as an industry is there is so much data, so much variety. How do we really get it into the hands of people who use data and the users of data are all across. You know, they shouldn't have to be engineers. They are across the board in different functions. So Nexla's purpose and mission has always been ready to use data in the hands of the users. So what Nexla does today is makes it possible for users across the board, whether those are data scientists, whether those are data analysts, whether those are people in various business functions to get the data that they need in the tools that they work with. So we make that possible in a very no code way for users to get access to the data. And very uniquely actually do that by automating a lot of the data engineering process. We'll talk more about that. That's an exciting space to be in. It is an exciting space to be in. And of course the volumes of data could just continue to explode. And that will not be slowing down anytime soon as we know in businesses. One of the things we saw in the last two years was businesses pivoting so many times and really needing going from survival mode to thriving mode. But the ability to harness the power and the insights and data is critical for businesses to be successful these days. As consumers we just expect that if it's our business life or our personal life, whoever we're interacting with is going to know what we want and we're going to be able to display that to us quickly. We think about data mesh. It's a relatively new concept, right? Talk to me about data mesh and what differentiates Nexla from your competition. Yeah. So data mesh is essentially I would say in the lineage of the concept of democratizing data. The idea has always been that data should get to the users. Now for a long time these users were dependent on IT and engineering to get the data to them. So what the data mesh is doing is it's bringing a framework by which users of data, we call them the domains, the different functions that use data, they can have the data to use themselves. They can manage things on their own. And I think that is allowing a framework in which teams can truly scale. I mean, that bottleneck of depending on engineering to do everything for you is just not going to work. And I think in the last two years, even more so, we saw that as companies tried to move fast, it started to break down. And I think there is a lot of momentum around this concept of data mesh for this reason. People are finding that this concept is what can help them scale. And how does Nexla deliver that single tool so that you can really democratize data and give people with varying levels of technical fluency the access that they need. I can imagine finance folks with ERP data, marketing folks with CRM data. How do you do that with a single tool? Yeah, so I think the key thing about getting data in the hands of users, as we think about data democratization has been that how does it actually happen? How do you give people access to the data? Simply giving them passwords to systems is not enough, right? Now, the data mesh concept comes with the understanding that there should be an entity, which we call as a data product, a data product becomes that sort of common entity that becomes something that people can get access to, they can use, they can collaborate on. Now, what is a data product becomes an important question, of course, and how do we get a data product? So where Nexla comes in in a very key way is we automatically generate these data products. So again, going back to the thinking that, look, there is not going to be enough engineers to write code for everything. What we are able to do is to say that we can actually connect to data systems, look through the data, understand it and package it up as a product, as a data product. And that data product is a core element of data mesh. I'm happy to share what a data product is, if it helps people understand. Yeah, let's double click into that a little bit. I was noticing on your website about NexSets. Yeah. And I wanted to know what that is and how does it reimagine data product creation? Yeah. So let me just break down a little bit about what is a data product in the first place, right? I mean, as consumers, we use products all the time. My laptop is here on a desk and that is a product. It is a product made from raw materials like wood and metal and screws, right? And somebody designed the product, somebody built it and I'm using it. So if we think of the same parallel in the world of data, then APIs and files and database tables, those are the raw materials. If somebody takes that and packages that up into something that other people can use easily, that is the concept of the data product. Now, how is it different from data? Well, you take the core data and you put things around it. Like what is the description of data? What is the structure of it? You know, what are the validations that make it work? How to manage that? Who has access to it? When you take that raw material and put all of those other structures around it, that's when it sort of becomes a data product. And the next set concept in next lab is essentially a manifestation of that. It is the concept that these data products do not need to be new copies of data, which is a huge pain by the way, but instead they can be these logical entities. So if I can take us back to the world of compute where we understand the concept of containers, these containers are basically a logical entity that gives us access to the computation resources. Think of next set as a very similar thing, a logical entity that gives us access to the data resources. And this is something that we have been able to innovate and automate in such a way that today when people think of the data mesh and they want to build that, they see us as a component in that whole framework. So data mesh is a much broader framework, but we are sort of the building block for that through this concept. Building block, got it. Talk to me about where your customer conversations are happening. Are they within Chief Data Officer, Chief Information Officer? Is it within the C-suite as data is, every company these days has to be a data company? Oh yeah, very much in the C-suite, right? So again, this changes a little bit industry by industry because every industry is organized differently. For example, you know, we have some amazing customer in financial services. There the conversation often is with the Chief Data Officer or the Chief Analytics Officer. And the key thing that the C-suite is thinking is how does this work in the future?  How do we handle things for three years, five years from now? And that's where the strategic conversation is. And that's where things like data mesh become extremely important for companies where we talk to them about, you know, how our technology sort of enables that, right? Across other industries, the functions may vary. And one of the things which is very interesting with data compared to other technologies is that it touches almost every aspect of business. It's not limited to engineering. It is your person in HR who's doing HR analytics of candidates and profiles they're reviewing and all that stuff to finance, to operations, every aspect of business does touch data. So this has to be done in a language and a mechanism that's much more approachable. It's got to be horizontal for all of those different types of users, right? To be able to understand so that ultimately, not only did they get access to the data, but they can pull out those insights faster than their competition, whether it's to develop new revenue streams, new products, new services, you know, the person on the other end or the companies on the other end are expecting that real-time interaction. Yeah. Yeah. It's no longer nice to have. No longer nice to have. And to clarify, right? I mean, the use of data is in multiple ways, right? So analytics is a big use of data, which is how is my business doing and running. We have customers like, you know, Marchex and Poshmark and Bed Bath Beyond and so on who use us heavily to bring data for the analytics use cases. As are companies, for example, like a DoorDash or Instacart, where that data feeds operational purposes. Operational purposes meaning understanding the availability of inventory or products across different stores. Now that data has function to say, well, if I know what products are available, then I can list them, then I can go pick them up. And that's not an analytics use case alone. It has a, you know, it has an operational use case, right? Similarly, we see that in order tracking. We have customers, for example, like Narbar that use us to connect to different shipping tracking systems. So the applications of data are in analytics. They are certainly also in operations, which is core business. And they're also, of course, in data science. There's no question that, you know, that extension of analytics from looking back on how business is doing to data science, which is, you know, what should we be doing and how should we be more intelligent, right? So it's a cross the board. Cross the board, horizontal, all industries really need to do this. But one of the things that popped into my mind as you were walking through that example was the supply chain challenges that we're all experiencing right now. How can Nexla Health organizations mitigate some of the challenges that are going on? I think what happens is, you know, technologies like ours, which are the data layer are at a fundamental foundational level. One of the things about Nexla is that we are able to bring our data into a much more real-time usage. So we're in companies, but traditionally moving data on a much more sort of periodic basis, we are plumping under the hood. We are completely real-time, which means that we are allowing companies to now get access to that data in a faster way where possible. So again, this is not something that can be fixed overnight, but the role that data can play in is better visibility. And better visibility means those business decisions are being made earlier at the right time with more insight and hopefully that eventually leads to sort of much more efficient actual on the ground, some movement of products and so on. Yeah, that visibility is absolutely critical regardless of the global climate, right? Talk to me at last question here since we're almost out of time, give me a little bit about your AWS partnership and then talk to me about what's next for next slide. Yeah, you know, as a technology provider, we end up running a lot of our own infrastructure on AWS as do many of our customers. And we have been an AWS partner for multiple years, but very recently, we actually made our product available on AWS marketplace, which means that the access to our technology has become so much easier for companies. Now, Nexla has started its journey focusing on mid to large enterprises and some of the most complex use cases out there from some of the biggest banks to some of the biggest companies in marketing to some of the core companies in retail logistics and so on. Now, what is happening is that the powerful nature of our product and the ease of use that we have given that need is coming further and further earlier in the life cycle of companies, right? So today, new companies are starting up, which are saying that we need to make that sort of investment in data infrastructure earlier, you know? And that's why we have seen even some very small early startup starting to use Nexla or to come to us for our technology. So we are very much partnered up with AWS because AWS covers the whole gamut from companies that were started yesterday to extremely large enterprises and bring our technology accessible to them. Excellent. So, thank you so much for joining me. It sounds like a tremendous amount of momentum and opportunity at Nexla. We appreciate your insights and best of luck to you. We look forward to hearing more. Thank you, Lisa. It's a pleasure talking to you. It's an exciting space, so time flies when we talk about that, right? Doesn't it? It really does. Yeah. For sockets, our room, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE. Leave it here for more coverage and a leader in live tech hybrid events.

So as you go through the download form, there's a little option here to do a donation if you would like. And then you can just click this Download button. And I've already gone ahead and downloaded NVDA. So I'm just kind of ready to rock.  Welcome to NVDA. So I'm going to hit the Caps Lock key to tell it to chill and stop talking for a sec. Similar to voiceover on the Mac, NVDA has kind of like a special NVDA modifier key, which normally is mapped to the Insert key. But this dialogue also lets you map it to the Caps Lock key, which is quite helpful if you're on a laptop. There's a few other options in this dialogue, like always show the dialogue when it starts or start NVDA when you open up Windows. Again, to fire it up, you hit Control-Alt-N. That's how you start the thing. I'm going to hit OK, though, because I think I'm good on these options. And then again, I can hit Caps Lock whenever I want to tell NVDA to stop talking. So what I want to do is give you sort of like a brief tour of how to navigate the page using NVDA. So I've got a JS bin that I've created that just has a few simple controls on it. And this will get us familiar with some of the basics of moving around in the screen reader. So I'm on this page here. This page just has a few headings, some paragraphs of text, and an input field with a sign-up button next to it. So simple button element. So we know that most screen reader users, when they land on an unfamiliar document, are going to navigate by heading. And to do that in NVDA, we use the H key. So let's try that out. Second heading, heading level two. Third heading, heading level three. So the H key moves us forward through the headings. Shift H is going to move us backwards. Second heading, first heading, heading level one. We can also move by line by pressing the up and down arrow key. So if I hit the down arrow key, we'll just move down in the next paragraph text. The first paragraph is full of introductory content. This is well. Right. We can also move by individual character too. And this is useful for screen reader users when they land on a word that maybe the text-to-speech software pronounces poorly. So like the word Udacity, it'll probably pronounce it in kind of a weird way. And so they might navigate through the individual characters to see how it's actually spelled. So to do that, we just hit the left and right arrow keys. H-E-S-F-I-R. Right. Pretty easy. Now, what separates NVDA from a screen reader like voiceover is that NVDA is a modal screen reader, meaning when you're in voiceover, you're kind of always in the same mode. You're sort of always browsing around. You can kind of just interact with things whenever you want. And that's because voiceover uses kind of an elaborate set of keyboard shortcuts to move around the screen. With NVDA, because the screen or because the shortcuts are sort of more abbreviated, they're just single characters and things like that, it means that when we land on something like a form control, we need to tell the screen reader to switch into a special mode so we can interact with that form. So let's try that out. So I've got some form elements down here. If I want to jump to the next available form element on the page, I can hit the F key. Edit, auto, complete, hello world. So you can see that put me on this text field. I can jump to the sign up button by hitting it again. Sign up button. And just like we saw with headings, Shift F is going to move us backwards. Edit, auto, complete, hello world. Now, if I were to hit the H key to start typing in this field, what it's actually going to do, though, is just move me to the next heading, because we haven't told the screen reader to enter forms or focus mode yet. So to do that, we'll use the NVDA key, which, remember, is caps lock, and the space bar.  That tells the screen reader user that, hey, now you're in forms mode, and you can start typing text kind of free form. So I could say, hello world. W, T, F, T, five, five. And because I have the caps lock key on, it's typing in all caps. But you get the idea, right? You can type in in the text field whenever you want. Now, to exit forms mode, we basically do the same thing with the NVDA key and space bar, or caps lock and space bar, to get out. And again, it'll play a little tone to tell us that we're exiting forms mode. Now, the last thing I want to show you is application mode. So sometimes when you're interacting with a more complex controls, something like a tree or a tab panel or something like that, the ARIA roles that you have on that element instruct the screen reader to enter application mode. And in that mode, it's just going to pass through all the key presses that you hit right to the control. And that way, the control can handle all those keyboard events and implement its own handling. To give you an example, I'm going to go to the very useful ARIA authoring practices guide. And I'm going to find a pattern of sort of a complex control. So I'm going to find a tab panel. Combo box, tab panel, tab 2.0, tab tool tab. With these complex elements, oftentimes the authoring practices guide provides an example implementation. So if I scroll to the bottom of the tab panel, it'll give me an example I can interact with. Well, now it's the tabbed interface be direct. So open A, type, type, and numple tab. So here's an example tab panel on the OpenAJAX site. I'll scroll this a little bit to make it easier to see. That's all in frame. All right, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to start interacting with this control. And now the crop application tab, tab control, cross tab selected one of four. And so it told us it's a tab control. It told us that it's a tab selected one of four. And because we're now in application mode, even though it's not playing a special sound or anything like that, we can actually move through these elements using just the arrow keys on our keyboard. So for instance, we have the right arrow key. Right, that's going through and selecting different tabs. I could also hit up and down arrow keys. So far so good. And if I want to move into the contents of the tab panel itself, I can hit the tab key on my keyboard. And then we can just tab through these and hit spacebar to sort of check or uncheck the check boxes as needed. And then shift tab to get back to the tabs. Right, so far so good. Let's see, the last thing that I want to show off is kind of a really cool and useful mode. I think it's called like elements mode. So you hit caps lock and F seven. So what this is going to do is basically go through and if you remember from the voiceover tutorial, we talked about the rotor and how you can jump to headings and landmarks and links using the rotor. So you don't have to navigate through every single thing on the page manually. The elements list is basically the exact same thing for NBDA. So we can see a list of links.  So we could filter down to one particular link that we're looking for. We can shift tab to go back to the top. Tree type grouping links. Use the arrow keys to move to, for instance, headings. Headings radio button check alt plus H. And then we can use the up and down arrow keys to select one of these headings. Links radio button check alt. Headings radio button review. Open and level one and samples. And main and mock and samples. And that'll take us to that portion of the page. Now, similar to voiceover, sometimes you might not see the page scroll as you're navigating using NBDA. That's totally fine. It's just kind of a quirk of the screen reader, but it's not something to be sort of alarmed or freaked out about. So yeah, I think that about covers it. We've touched on a lot of the basics of working with NBDA. I'm going to include a couple links down at the bottom. One is to a web aim guide that has a whole bunch of shortcuts for NBDA, kind of like a really useful cheat sheet. The other one is to my friend, Marcy Sutton's egghead.io video, which goes a little bit more in-depth on NBDA and actually shows how to navigate a real page on Wikipedia. So both of those resources are super useful for getting started, especially if you're new to these screen readers. Otherwise, if you have any questions, you can always leave them for me down below in the comments or you can hit me up on a social network of your choosing. As always, thank you so much for watching and I'll see you next time.


everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with Stock Swoosh and I'm gonna go over today's plays. One was a win, one was a loss and I'm also gonna talk about using stocks because that is very important when you're trading. If you'd like more information you can email me at Melissa at the stockswoosh.com or call me at 929-3200 Gap and follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Skype. So overall you know when I get up in the morning I'm looking for the gap that I like the best. There could be a couple of gaps, there could be a lot of gaps, there could be only one. It depends. So today there was a few. This e-train worked initially. I forget what I was up in like I don't know 20 cents something like that. But then it flipped okay. It held the stop all morning. I'm just gonna go this here. The stop was $59.20. Okay so this we had the stop at $59.20 and we got taken out over $59.20. I want to point out where the stock went. Tippy tippy tippy tippy tippy tippy top like $59.80. So the stop moved $0.60 not a small move, a big move over where we I mean the the stock moved over the stop $0.60 plus where we had the stop. So it and it could have gone even further. Okay it could have gone all the way up to $0.60.  Now what's my point? My point is that a stop protects you where you have a fixed amount that you choose that you risk and a fixed amount that you lose in the trade if it fails. So this first trade failed I did not retake it. If you did retake it the second trade worked. Okay we shorted this and this was a short then it closed week today. But my point is that stops help you protect you from unknown losses that could really mount up to be a lot. Now here is the one that worked. Okay so that was the one losses is the one win this is HPE and this stop held all day. So the stop was $16.10 an amazing placement of the stop and how did it worked all day. I really know what I'm doing with numbers I'm very good at that but long and short of it is that we got in this early it didn't break till late. Sometimes that happens what are you gonna do. So it did work it held the stop all day and it's important why because if we did not have a stop in the other one then we might not have had a possible profitable day with one winner one loser because you could have been a wash or it could have been a loser. It might not have been up but because we had the stop in it was a profitable day because even though this came down and they're gonna say well this came all the way down it's true it did come all the way down it came all the way down we actually could have got the trade break evening with profit here I mean if this E trade it held it all dead but that's unusual you know it's unusual the point is that this theoretically once it lifted over the high in this big fat massive green bar lay here could have gone crazy. So that one lost this one worked and here's what it amounted to. So lost an E trade 2100 HPE 3570 total 1470 so it was a 1470 in profit one profit on the day a 1470 with one loser one winner and it's because of the stop in E trade and that's the point I'm trying to make stops help you they protect you stops are important because we're like the insurance they protect you if the trade fails you only lose when you risk to know more. If you don't use stops you essentially have unlimited risk which makes no sense that doesn't make sense for anyone. When I trade I'm taking calculating risk based on the gap rating use stops to help you when you trade so you keep the money you make in the good trades today the stop in HPE it really really was perfect if I do say so myself it held all day okay so I'm very good with where to put the numbers and stops and the targets to and knowing the gap but the one thing is that the preparation in the morning helps you determine the quality of the gap the direction you want to go where to put the stop where to get out of the trade where's the target I teach a class I teach all of this in the class it's this weekend August 25th and 26 9 to 5 class tuition is 54 99 US dollars the class is online you can be anywhere in the world and take it email me if you want to sign up at Melissa at the stockswush.com also doing the trends course on Monday the 27th okay 11 to 5 class of the class is 59 99 classes online again you know it's online so you can sign up you save $500 by doing these both I'm telling you that trading is something that you absolutely can learn I mean these numbers I'm getting them off the chart I you can learn this you learn in my class and it's a skill it's a skill set you do it do it do it and that's how you get good at it that's how I can find these numbers so quickly and so easily to help us take the trades and stay in the trades but think about what I said today it is so important to use stops it's calculated risk when you trade you can't have unlimited risk and that's how you're gonna make money you have to think about that because not every trade is gonna work so you have to learn how do you stop somewhere to put them have a great night everyone
