Welcome back. So ladies, let's chat whether we like it or not. We're all playing a role of sorts and CC You seem to think it might have caused some sort of identity crisis for women. Yes I've been as I was sharing with you guys in the green room I've been talking to a number of women and we have so many roles. I like my muse myself real quick I'm a wife. I'm a mother. I'm an executive. I'm a mentor. I'm a public servant Job super woman. I have a me daughter all those things and and talking to women Madison Just and what they're saying to me is I'm pissed off because I've been my identity is caught up in being a wife And mother and all those things and not Celebrating who I am as a woman and I think that happens We put that we get caught up in everything that we do and what we do does not define who we are and That's I think that you find yourself caught up in that Madison No, I don't sometimes I find comfort in in it I find comfort in knowing that I can identify myself with I am a mom Okay, and it makes me feel stronger and it helps me to guide me and helps helps me make choices based on that role But based on that identity but to your point for Madison, can you go see that a person may feel that I Am all these people these I'm these roles, but I'm not that's not who I am That's not mad. That's not mad at me. Could you be hiding in those roles? But I feel like I feel like all those roles are an extension of who I am The all of those roles make me who I am because I wouldn't be those roles if that's not who I wanted to be so where someone might start feeling resentful about the roles that they're playing well, they put they're playing those roles for a reason and They they put they don't have to continue to play that role They can let go of that role at any time Well, what's interesting though is I think that a lot of us are Assumed that we are a certain role, you know people look at me this tall blonde And then they you know, I have to play this role in their head. I'm tired of that I'm tired of people thinking that I'm you know, right less intelligent or Flaky or Hollywood or you're so a lay. No, I'm so chosen. Well, yeah, and there's a lot of more layers That's the main role I'm playing beyond being a daughter-sister friend Etc. I'm trying to play this role of what is my best self in fighting against what everybody else thinks about sounds like what you're fighting Against is a stereotype. Oh for sure. You have some you fight stereotypes But between your point and you're correct. You're right those roles that I identify with myself are extension of who I am But they are they don't define me because as we know roles change So mother that I am today is not the mother I was when my babies were toddlers and not the mother. I'm gonna be when I have grown Right, but you play those roles, but you also define what those roles mean. I Do but at the end of the day before I had all those titles I think what the women are saying to me stasis before I have all those titles. I am a Woman right big before they had all those titles. They were kids Where you're going with this, how do you maintain that role of I am Stacy? I am a woman or can you I just got it to be honest with you I just really got it and I'm throwing some people for a loop because they're like wow stays like I didn't know Right I didn't know it's to that point because I was hiding behind so many things I hid behind being a great wife I hid behind being a great mom Because to me those don't sound like things you hide behind Yes, you know most definitely you can what if you don't deal with something that's going on with you You will overcompensate and live vicariously through your children and your spouse or not those roles I don't have a problem saying you know what mama is not cooking tonight Everybody work for themselves. I'm going to sleep, but isn't that also being isn't that also being a great mom? Isn't it teaching them to go? Hey, sometimes you have to take care of yourself first and I'm doing it for me I'm being the example for you. I don't could be It's all no because if I medicine if I was very uncomfortable who I am and I was so Having my children, you know, know that I'm there pick them up from school Making sure that I cook making sure everything was alive was important to me because I was in chaos And that's something that I could control now what I'm telling our viewers is Your roles are going to change your life is going to expand and that's Control with yourself. It's okay for a parent to say, you know, I don't like my kid today I'm finally at a point in my life growing up, you know at Nearing the end of my 20s. I'm finally being okay with that. I am not who I was when I was 21 I don't want the same things I wanted when I was 23 and those roles are changing and I have to be okay with that. Yes, they they evolved. It's okay for me. I've been married almost 23 years and today I'm uncomfortable with telling my husband This is not working for me, right? I've evolved because I'm comfortable with me and I don't think that he's gonna leave me, right? Right, I wouldn't say things before because I was uncomfortable I shouldn't say that a wife doesn't say that no Amanda loves a woman a woman loves a man They're honest in their communication communication. That's what I'm talking about as the roles evolve Live your role


Well, come back to SNES Drunk plays Mega Man X2 and as you can see on the menu here those three guys The three guys that are holding zeroes parts or whatever they show up randomly It's a whatever stage. I think they change each time You go back to the main menu But screw all that I'm not even gonna bother with those guys if I if I stumble into a battle with one of them I'll fight them But for now, we're gonna go to bubble crap stage. I love the background there. Doesn't it look awesome? the orange sky with the Sunsets and Quality pixel art in this game as there is in every Mega Man game. Why wouldn't there be it's freaking Mega Man at Super Nintendo and to get through any of these blocks here pretty intuitive just use the buzz saw thingy We just got from wheelgater. Whoa, look out These shark things are so satisfying to to kill It makes such a neat little sound when you blow them up love that And then right here we have already reached the first checkpoint in this level I don't know why they decided to put a checkpoint here, but in the meantime, we have to fight this Robo fish.  I don't think the weapons at least so far I mean, I've only got two weapons, but I don't think the weapons the boss weapons in this game are as fun as The weapons that you get in Mega Man X Like there you've got like Storm Eagle's weapon. You've got the flamethrower thingy. You've got the homing missiles You've got the rolling shield There's a lot of really good weapons there here Not so much. I think there's something down here not much though. I'm gonna lose the fish, but Yeah, there's nothing down here This is where the game or this level starts to get a little open-ended. Is that guy gonna have to take the hit Whatever. There's lots of weird little areas that you can explore. I'm not even sure how to get to that thing down there I don't really care Let's destroy this fish though if we can.  I always keep it charged Just force of habit.   I Don't think I'm gonna beat mr. Bubble crab Right away. I don't even have much of a sub tank, but Luckily, I've got this guy's weakness. That's another thing about this game though That that's that I think I like better than the original Mega Man X is that Even if you have the guy's weakness see it only takes about What you still have to hit the guy ten times or so? We jumped right into it. That was pretty satisfying. Oh, see it I'm just off today. I Just can't get the timing right for my jumps and any of that stuff there. We see it backed right into it Not doing so well Let's try it again. Luckily the buzz saw thingy does not take a whole lot of It's not it's it doesn't take a lot of Thing each thing each thing doesn't take a lot of thing on the things with the stuff That's what basically what I'm trying to say Anyway, yeah, you got to be careful with this guy or else He'll send his like little crab minions after you just like that and these things get in the way And they're really annoying and I'm not I'm just gonna try and ignore him God he jumped right over that one I'm just gonna stand here and keep hitting him see if this works The answer is no it doesn't I'm just off today.  Let's be a little more careful and not allow him to get those His little bubble crab minions floating on the water That way I can still jump over him if I have to Like I said, even if you have this guy's weakness. I haven't looked at a chart Yet so I'm honestly not sure if this if there's a better weapon against this guy I'm not even sure I'm not I don't think there is I don't know what what it would be if there is But you still got to hit the guy like ten times at least actually more like 12 times. Ooh, that was close Not fast enough. Oh that one hit him twice. That was cool. Just keep hitting him consistently and prevent him from Getting his friends out. That's evidently, uh-oh Well, they're stay on one side One more hit should do it Just in time to out ran out of my weapon Did they just float off screen? They didn't even explode with this guy. They just kind of Exit stage right? Wow And bubble crab is history what do we get for defeating bubble crab? You get one of the goofiest weapons in Mega Man history you get That's right.   I'm like I understand the running gag of like, okay Bubbles hurt you that's ridiculous, but now Mega Man is hurting other bosses with bubbles Yeah next is Flamestag. He is weak to bubbles Because you know you put fire out with soap bubbles. Oh My god, okay let's Get a move on here See I'm my rhythm is just off with my long jumps today for whatever reason. I just can't get It's going. Oh, it already automatically fills up I was all set to Pick the right weapon too, but it fills up automatically when he beat a boss. I guess.   We'll see you next time. Thanks for watching. Have a great rest of your day


The Great East Japan earthquake of 2011 caused extensive damage along the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region. In order to address these issues, Tohoku University and IWATE Medical University have launched the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project, TMM. This project includes two prospective cohort studies, the TMM Community-Based Cohort Study, TMM-COM Cohort Study, and the TMM Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study, TMM Birth-3 Cohort Study. These studies aim to recruit 80,000 and 70,000 participants respectively, including fetuses and their parents, siblings, grandparents, and extended family members. Additionally, the TMM-COM Cohort Study will recruit participants from 2013 to 2016 and follow them for at least five years while the TMM Birth-3 Cohort Study will recruit participants from 2013 to 2017 and follow them for at least four years. Furthermore, the TMM-O Child Health Study was initiated in November 2012 in Miyagi Prefecture, as a cross. This article was authored by Shinichi Kuriyama.

this and um i know a lot of you guys have said please keep vlogging um i think i will keep blogging i can't talk maybe i should stop drinking then i'm just kidding i'm not drunk um i think i will keep vlogging as much as i can i mean whoa doyl watch out so it's like with a sheba just all the time where you at bud there you go um but i'm not sure like if it's gonna be a regular thing if it's gonna be like all the time or i don't know i don't know i think i'm gonna keep vlogging though i feel like i want to connect with you guys on like this level but my life is so boring but i also understand the appeal because i do watch other vloggers in their life is not as exciting either so i i get it but with the vlogs they do well with like structure so like this month was all about obviously a no spend so that was you know not easy for me but i could just like sharing with you how much money i spent and also like meals and what i was eating what i was preparing and things like that but when it's just a month or a week or whatever of vlogs i feel like i'm not good at them because like me sitting and like applying for jobs doesn't really sound like a really fun vlog in my opinion and i don't want to keep going like a no spend and being like oh here's how much money spent here's how much money i spent like that's kind of redundant i can do it for like this month and that's fine but and i might do like another month of this at some point like in the year maybe not i'm not sure but um i did no um i did do my monthly budget for april already so i will link that video below if you guys haven't seen it yet um but i'm gonna make that more of a regular thing as well as um i think i asked pretty sure i asked on that video um you know if you guys had any other financial questions or like things that i could possibly film a video on that you guys are interested in so i got some really great um ideas from you guys then so i have some of those on my list which by the way my list is right there on my fridge um so i've added some to my list so i will um keep going with those and other video ideas so if you guys have any other video ideas just put them down there and um maybe i'll get to yours you never know i have yammered on for way too long this is the end of the no spend um i hope you guys enjoyed if you did make sure to give it a thumbs up let me know if you guys are planning on doing a no spend i know some of you have sent me messages or commented below or commented on some of my like instagram and facebook saying that you guys have been inspired to do a no spend for april so let me know if you guys are planning on ever doing a no spend and good luck if you do trust me it can be done sometimes it just takes a little creativity and it's a little bit easy when you're single to get yourself on board is a little bit easier than getting you know your spouse and other family members that live in your house uh on board as well so anyway um here's my dinner which i'm going to reheat again because i need to um stir it and all that good stuff so i'm going to let you guys go thank you so much for all of the love and support um on this no spend journey and um i hope to see you all in the next video so make sure to subscribe and hit the little bell notification so you don't miss anything but i will see you guys in the next video bye guys

On February 2nd, a 22-year-old black man, Amir Lok, was killed by the police in a raid in Minneapolis in the United States. The police stormed into an apartment where he was sleeping, and as he was startled into wakefulness, shot him. The killing led to a wave of protests across the city. It is important to know that Minneapolis was also the city where George Floyd was killed by the police in 2020, leading to a countrywide movement. Lok's murders, one second brought to the fore the question of police brutality, of the issue of no-knock warrants, and structural racism. Eugene Pourriere of Breakthrough News analyzes some of these questions. Well, you know, I have to say, what we have seen with the murder of Amir Lok is just seem, it really feels that even in the wake of George Floyd's murder, there has been very little substantive change in Minneapolis and the Twin Cities more broadly. Of course, his murder also involved the St. Paul police. This is, people may have heard the term Twin Cities, it's Minneapolis, St. Paul, they're right next to each other. And there's a range of suburbs, of course, that surround them all. Many of them, of course, have their own long, tragic histories of police violence. Of course, Philando Castile, who was also killed in the suburbs of the Twin City, was another major case in this regard, and there have been many that have come to light because of the murder of George Floyd. But I think we can connect this to what we've seen since the George Floyd case is that there was a huge uprising, but that as time went on, the officials, really, of the Minneapolis area were not, in fact, that serious about changing any of the basic realities around policing. We, of course, saw the defeat of the Charter Amendment and the elections towards the end of 2021, which would have set the stage for at least some potential changes to how the police department would operate in the city of Minneapolis. Nothing was written in stone, but it at least changed some of the basic nature of the Charter, the constitution of the city, to allow some changes. And I think that there was a no-knock warrant issue here, and there have been calls for banning no-knock warrants, but there also was a normal warrant that was also used in this. There's some dispute over whether or not it was like a no-knock situation because of what's come out of the body cam footage. You know, some police officers saying that they, you can hear them saying, you know, announcing themselves to some degree, but there's more that we can say about that, and there's a lot of sort of chaos to it. But I think what's important to the question that you asked is that it really does show that the rootedness of the challenges of police terrorism in the United States are extraordinarily deep. They cannot be dealt with with any sort of, you know, band-aid solution, just like in the case of George Floyd, where the officers were actually violating their own training and protocol. What we see time and time again is that the reality of policing in the United States is that the police are judge, jury, and executioner, and that when it comes down to quote, unquote, benefit of the doubt, they are always given the benefit of the doubt. And in the context of what took place with Amir Lak, where he was killed, essentially while asleep, I mean, you look at the body cam footage, they come into the place, he's wrapped in a blanket, they kick the couch that he's on, you know, they're making a big deal that he had a weapon, but you know, you startled out of sleep, and the next thing you know, you're surrounded by a bunch of people with guns drawn, yelling in different ways, obviously, you know, it creates the situation where something can be misperceived as hostile or just not misperceived, portrayed as hostile, even though it is not by police officers who are looking to justify their actions, but whichever one it is, I think it just does show that when it comes down to quote, unquote, judgment calls, no matter what, the police are almost always going to get the benefit of the doubt. So we'll see what happens with the state investigation and other things like that, but I think it does show that in Minneapolis, St. Paul and the broader areas of the Twin City, that we've seen quite a bit of protests, we've seen quite a bit of anger, we've seen quite a bit of outrage, we've seen cities set up, all sorts of, you know, task forces and this, that and the third, but at the end of the day, the basic realities of why these incidents continue to happen, which is the structure of the laws of this country. I mean, it's important to recognize that reality, this sort of adversarial mentality between the police and working class communities of color continues to be there and it continues to, you know, generate situations like this. In 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, the countrywide protests that broke out demanded serious reforms to the policing system. Two years later, where does this movement stand and what are the challenges it has faced in getting its demands into practice? A number of reform measures have been introduced or suggested in various states. What have been the most successful of these steps, which can perhaps lay a road map for the future. Well, one thing I will say is that I believe that the Amir Lat cases helped re-energize a lot of these movements. I mean, I think that one of the biggest challenges is the fact that there is so much resistance to making any sort of substantive change on the issue of police terrorism that, you know, there are always sort of rises and falls and this is the history of police brutality in the United States. Really, going back to the 1930s, black working class communities were complaining heavily about almost the exact same issues. And again, going back to the 1930s, you can see, you know, many similar rounds of large mass protests. I think what we've seen in Minneapolis in particular, huge protests that have taken place, you know, the thousands of high school students walking out, thousands of just general citizens marching through the streets of Minneapolis. And so it certainly seems to have created even around the country and other places a new momentum and a new feeling by people that they have to continue to struggling and have to continue to push forward. So I think it really leaves the movement out of crossroads because you see that there are many people in this country, tens of millions of people in the United States that view this epidemic of police terrorism as totally unacceptable, that in moments of crisis, you know, as we saw in 2020 with the uprising after George Floyd's murder, like we saw with the thousands of students walking out of school around a mere lock just this week. I think what we can see is that there's a lot of people who want to do something, but there has to be a clear connection from the movement in the street to the broader policymaking apparatus. Because clearly the Democratic Party, you know, you can see right now this is a very Democratic Party heavily area, Democratic-controlled state. And you still have all of these different challenges. These cannot be the vehicles for pushing forward these things. You look at states like California, for instance, where you have a Democratic supermajority in the state legislature and you still can barely pass extremely watered down bills that are supposed to address some of the issues around police shootings. So really sort of no matter what, it seems clear that the two major parties are not going to do anything on these issues. So I think there is going to be renewed emphasis on getting out into the streets. I think that's important. I think that will continue. But I think the movement is really at a crossroads, especially here during the midterm election year of how they link the desires of the masses of people to see change on this issue with, you know, who is at the ballot box, who is voted for and the types of actions that need to be taken, the level of disruptiveness that needs to be put forward to actually put these things on the agenda in a real way. And it seems quite frankly that only when cities burn down, do politicians take any serious look at this issue. And as soon as they feel the crisis has passed, they immediately go back to business as usual. So it's a tricky strategic tactical problem that I think confronts these movements. And I think it's deeply bound up in the deep nature of the state, the role of the state, the role of the state in defending capitalist property and the role of the two major parties as instruments of property rights. You know, I think some of the things that have come up that have been the most notable have been those that address the issue of community violence happening in communities and how to address that without bringing in the police. We've seen all around the country, Washington, D.C. here in New York City, you know, certainly in multiple cities in California and Chicago, other places like that, that there's been a renewed emphasis on things called violence interruption, which are essentially programs that use community members that have a certain level of respect in their own community to de-escalate and disrupt situations. And in many cities around the country, it's resulted in amazing results, 30 to 70% reductions in shootings and murders in one to three years. And you've seen that in the places that are considered the quote-unquote worst, Chicago, Baltimore, you know, East New York, places like that that are so notorious for gun violence, they've had huge success. And I think part of the reason that's important is because really reducing the scope of policing is maybe the number one way to address these issues because if there's a need for fewer cops, there are gonna be fewer interactions where the police are potentially gonna kill someone and certainly reducing the levels of violence in general is the easiest way to reduce the massive presence of cops in a number of the more press working class jurisdictions where this is such an epidemic. So I think the move towards that has been very positive, there's been tens of billions of dollars pumped into that. There's at least a possibility the federal government will try to supplement that with billions of dollars in grants. And I think that in and of itself could make a big change in how we are looking at this issue. I think that, or really the prevalence of the issue. I think the other factor that comes in here and it's a little bit more unsure how this would play out but I do think it's something that is relevant is we've seen some movement although we've never seen anything pass yet to have more substantive bills put forward both at the state and the federal level that would essentially lower the standard by which a police officer can be charged with murder in these cases. Now that being said, there is a lot that can be said that there many more officers could be charged, charged more aggressively already, but to make it less of an insulation system there's just total insulation around police officers in terms of these police shootings and to really treat them more like average everyday people who are put in front of the dock there and that that potentially could increase the number of individuals who are held accountable for these murders and that that could certainly have a ripple effect and a through line in terms of the way police are then willing to act because of the fact that the consequences and the accountability could be more significant. So I think those are two of the things that have really come up that address really the issues in a huge way which is that one, the role of the police in working class oppressed communities in resolving the contradictions of capitalism is far too large and is the number one reason there are all these negative incidents. And then secondarily, there's a huge amount of both cowardice and legal impediments in order to actually charging police officers that can also be dealt with. And I think that we'll continue to see those things come up and I think that we'll continue to see them, if they succeed, I think have an impact or at least a potential impact in reducing police terror in this country.


In this module, we shall attempt to recap whatever we have studied so far. Of course, we would not be looking at each and everything, but in this module, we would be trying to assess the efficacy of the pedagogical approach we have taken so far. This would attempt to assess the learning achievement of you, the students. And of course, this would have implications for me to further continue with the learning process. And in light of today's feedback, we might be improving our process of learning and development. So in this segment, we shall attempt to assess efficacy of the learning process so far. With the help of a quiz, we would like to gauge the level of achievement of the students. This exercise should serve as a feedback for both myself and for yourself. So let's start this quiz. This is a hypothetical quiz.  And I'm going to read out which of the following cannot be bought and sold on a solemn basis. Amazon. So this is the question in front of you. You should attempt to answer this. Of course, this is a video lecture. I would assume and I would expect that you would write down your answer. If your answer is B, you can write down. If your answer is D, of course, you can note it down accordingly. I'm sure all of you would have different answers to this question. Some of you might think that this is A. Others may think that this is D. And of course, some of you would definitely think that this is either B or C. If, for example, one of you says that this is Burj Khalifa. And if I click on that one, let us see whether this is the right answer. I'm going to click on Burj Khalifa. That is actually the right answer. Burj Khalifa cannot be bought and sold on a solemn basis. Why? Because this is a specific item. And in this case, it's a unique item. In case of Salam, anything which is specific cannot be bought and sold on a solemn basis. For example, if I say that I sell this pen on a solemn basis to you for a price of 100 rupees, this would not be a valid Salam sale. Because in case of Salam, no one can sell a specific item. Of course, we can sell items, generic items with some specific details. So I can sell iPhone 12 Pro Max, color silver and with other specification to anyone on a Salam basis because there would be so many iPhone 12 Pro Max of that specification available in the market. Now Burj Khalifa cannot be bought and sold on a Salam basis because of the injunction in one of the Ahadith that any produce of a specific field cannot be bought and sold on a Salam basis. So similarly, anything which is specific and you say this thing, my this phone or something else I should be able to buy and sell on a Salam basis. This is not acceptable. Now, other questions, other answers like B in case of Rebuvi commodities. What are Rebuvi commodities? Rebuvi commodities are six. They include wheat, barley, salt, dates, silver and gold. Of course, these six commodities can only be exchanged with themselves on a spot basis. So if I want to exchange wheat for wheat, it is possible only on a spot basis. However, these commodities can be bought and sold on a Salam basis because in a trade, wheat versus money. So the counter values are different. This is something we have already explained in one of our modules previously. In case of C, of course, cars as I said, cars are generic commodities or things which can have some specifications. So I can sell a Honda, Civic, Model so and so, black color because there would be so many such cars available in the market. So cars can be bought and sold on a Salam basis. And the question, the answer about Amazon, so anything which is listed on Amazon cannot be bought and sold on a Salam basis. This is wrong because only those things which are not permissible, they cannot be bought and sold anyway whether on a Salam basis or Morabha basis. Amazon is only a commodity exchange. It is an exchange. It is a bazaar. It is a market. And you can buy anything from a bazaar, from market, from Amazon as long as the thing you are attempting to buy and sell is actually halal.


From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, bringing you data-driven insights from theCUBE and ETR. This is Breaking Analysis with Dave Vellante. While by no means a safe haven, the cybersecurity sector has outpaced the broader tech market by a meaningful margin. That is up until very recently. Cybersecurity remains the number one technology priority for the C-suite, but as we've previously reported, the CISO's budget has constraints, just like other technology investments. Recent trends show that economic headwinds have elongated sales cycles, pushed deals into future quarters, and just like other tech initiatives, are pacing cybersecurity investments and breaking them into smaller chunks. Hello and welcome to this week's Wikibon Cube Insights, powered by ETR. In this Breaking Analysis, we explain how cybersecurity trends are reverting to the mean and tracking more closely with other technology investments. We'll make a couple of valuation comparisons to show the magnitude of the challenge and which cyber firms are feeling the heat, which aren't. There are some exceptions. We'll then show the latest survey data from ETR to quantify the contraction and spending momentum and close with a glimpse of the landscape of emerging cybersecurity companies, the private companies that could be ripe for acquisition, consolidation, or disruptive to the broader market. First, let's take a look at the recent patterns for cyber stocks relative to the broader tech market as a benchmark as an indicator. Here's a year-to-date comparison of the BUG ETF, which comprises a basket of cybersecurity names, and we compare that with the tech-heavy NASDAQ composite. Notice that on April 13th of this year, the cyber ETF was actually in positive territory while the NAS was down nearly 14%. Now by August 16th, the green turned red for cyber stocks, but they still meaningfully outpaced the broader tech market by more than 950 basis points. As of December 2nd, that delta had contracted. As you can see, the cyber ETF is now down nearly 25%. Year-to-date while the NASDAQ is down 27% and change. Take a look at just how far a few of the high profile cybersecurity names have fallen. Here are six security firms that we've been tracking closely since before the pandemic. We've been tracking dozens, but let's just take a look at this data and subset. We show, for comparison, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ, again, just for reference, they're both up since right before the pandemic. They're up relative to right before the pandemic. And then during the pandemic, the S&P shot up more than 40% relative to its pre-pandemic level around February is what we're using for the pre-pandemic level. And the NASDAQ peaked at around 65% higher than that February level. They're now down 85% and 71% of their previous. So they're at 85% and 71% respectively from their pandemic highs. You compare that to these six companies, Splunk, which was and still is working through a transition is well below its pre-pandemic market value. And it's 44% of its pre-pandemic high as of last Friday. Palo Alto Networks is the most interesting here in that it had been facing challenges prior to the pandemic related to a pivot to the cloud, which we reported on at the time. But as we said, at that time, we believe the company would sort out its cloud transition and its go-to-market challenges, its sales compensation issues, which it did, as you can see, and its valuation jumped from 24 billion prior to COVID to 56 billion and it's holding 93% of its peak value. Its revenue run rate is now over six billion with a healthy growth rate of 24% expected for the next quarter. Similarly, Fortinet has done relatively well holding 71% of its peak COVID value with a healthy 34% revenue guide for the coming quarter. Now, Okta has been the biggest disappointment. A darling of the pandemic, Okta's communication snafu with what was actually a pretty benign hack combined with difficulty absorbing its $7 billion off zero acquisition, knocked the company off track. Its valuation has dropped by 35 billion since its peak during the pandemic and that's after a nice beat and bounce back quarter just announced by Okta. Now, in our view, Okta remains a viable long-term leader in identity. However, its recent fiscal 24 revenue guide was exceedingly conservative at around 16% growth. So either the company is sandbagging or has such poor visibility that it wants to be like super cautious or maybe it's actually seeing a dramatic slowdown in its business momentum. After all, this is a company that not long ago was putting up 50% plus revenue growth rates. So it's one that bears close watching. CrowdStrike is another big name that we've been talking about on breaking analysis for quite some time. It like Okta has led the industry in a key ETR performance indicator that measures customer spending momentum. Just last week, CrowdStrike announced revenue increased more than 50% but new ARR was soft and the company guided conservatively. Not surprisingly, the stock got absolutely crushed as CrowdStrike blamed tepid demand from smaller and mid-sized firms. Many analysts believe that competition from Microsoft is one factor along with cautious spending amongst those mid-size and smaller customers. Notably large customers remain active. So we'll see if this is a longer term trend or an anomaly. Zscaler is another company in the space that we've reported having great customer spending momentum from the ETR data. But even though the company beat expectations for its recent quarter, like other companies, its outlook was conservative. So other than Palo Alto went to a lesser extent, Fortinet, these companies and others that we're not showing here are feeling the economic pinch and it shows in the compression of value. CrowdStrike, for example, had a $70 billion valuation at one point during the pandemic. Zscaler top 50 billion, Okta 45 billion. Now, having said that, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, CrowdStrike and Zscaler are all still trading well above their pre-pandemic levels that we tracked back in February of 2020. All right, let's go now back to ETR's January survey and take a look at how much things have changed since the beginning of the year. Remember, this is obviously pre-Ukraine and pre-all the concerns about the economic headwinds, but here's an XY graph that shows a net score or spending momentum on the Y-axis and market presence on the X-axis. The red dotted line at 40% on the vertical indicates a highly elevated net score. Anything above that, we think is super elevated. Now, we filtered the data here to show only those companies with more than 50 responses in the ETR survey. It's still really crowded. Note that there were around 20 companies above that red 40% mark, which is a very high number. It's a crowded market, but lots of companies with positive momentum. Now, let's jump ahead to the most recent October survey and take a look at what's happening. Same graphic, plotting, spending momentum and market presence and look at the number of companies above that red line and how it's been squashed. It's really compressing. It's still a crowded market, still plenty of green, but the number of companies above 40%, that key mark has gone from around 20 firms down to about five or six and it speaks to that compression and IT spending. And of course, the elongated sales cycles, pushing deals out, taking them in smaller chunks. I can't tell you how many conversations with customers I had last week at Reinvent underscoring this exact same trend. The buyers are getting pressure from their CFOs to slow things down, do more with less and prioritize projects to those that absolutely are critical to driving revenue or cutting costs. And that's rippling through all sectors, including cyber. Now let's do a bit more playing around with the ETR data and take a look at those companies with more than a hundred citations in the survey this quarter. So n greater than or equal to a hundred. Now remember, the followers of Breaking Analysis know that each quarter we take a look at those, what we call four-star security firms. That is, those that hit the top 10 for both spending momentum, net score and the end, the mentions in the survey, the presence, the pervasiveness in the survey and that's what we show here. The leftmost chart is sorted by spending momentum or net score and the right-hand chart by shared end or the number of mentions in the survey, that pervasiveness metric. That solid red line denotes the cutoff point at the top 10 and you'll note we've actually cut it off at 11 to account for OTH zero, which is now part of OCTA. And it's going through a go-to-market transition with the company. They're kind of restructuring sales so they can take advantage of that. So starting on the left with spending momentum, again, net score, Microsoft leads all vendors. Typical Microsoft, very prominent. Although it hadn't always done so. For a while CrowdStrike and OCTA were taking the top spot, now it's Microsoft. CrowdStrike is still always near the top but note that cyber arc and cloud flare have cracked the top five and OCTA, which as I just said was consistently at the top, has dropped well off its previous highs. You'll notice that Palo Alto Networks with a 38% net score, just below that magic 40% number is healthy, especially as you look over to the right-hand chart. Take a look at Palo Alto with an N of 395. It is the largest of the independent pure play security firms and has a very healthy net score. Although one caution is that net score has dropped considerably since the beginning of the year, which is a case for most of the top 10 names. The only exception is Fortinet. They're the only ones that saw an increase since January in spending momentum as ETR measures it. Now this brings us to the four star security firms. That is those that hit the top 10 in both net score on the left-hand side and market presence on the right-hand side. So it's Microsoft, Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Octa, still there, even not accounting for Auth0, just Octa on its own. If you put in Auth0, it's even stronger, adding then in Fortinet and Zscaler. So Microsoft, Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, Octa, Fortinet and Zscaler. And as we've mentioned since January, only Fortinet has shown an increase in net score since that time. Again, since the January survey. Now again, this talks to the compression in spending. Now one of the big themes we hear constantly in cybersecurity is the market is overcrowded. Everybody talks about that, me included. The implication there is there's a lot of room for consolidation. And that consolidation can come in the form of M&A or it can come in the form of people consolidating onto a single platform and retiring some other vendors and getting rid of duplicate vendors. We're hearing that as a big theme as well. Now as we saw in the previous chart, this is a very crowded market and we've seen lots of consolidation in 2022 in the form of M&A. Literally hundreds of M&A deals with some of the largest companies going private. SailPoint, NoB4, Barracuda, Mandiant, Fordruck, these multi-billion dollar acquisitions are at least billion dollars and up and many of them multi-billion for these companies and hundreds more acquisitions in the cyberspace. Now, lest you think the pond is overfished, here's a chart from ETR of emerging tech companies in the cybersecurity industry. This data comes from ETR's Emerging Technologies Survey, ETS, which is this diamond in a rough that I found a couple of quarters ago and it's ripe with companies that are candidates for M&A. Many of these companies would have liked to gotten to the public markets during the pandemic but they couldn't get there, they weren't ready. So the graph, similar to the previous one, but different. It shows net sentiment on the vertical axis and that's a measurement of intent to adopt against a mind share on the X axis which measures the awareness of the vendor in the community. So this is specifically a survey that ETR goes out and fields only to track those emerging tech companies that are private companies. So some of the standouts in mind share our one trust, beyond trust, tanium, an endpoint, net scope, which we've talked about in previous breaking analysis, one password which has been acquisitive on its own in identity, the managed security service provider, Arctic Wolf Network, a company we've also covered, we've had their CEO are on, we've talked about MSSPs as a real trend, particularly in small and medium-sized business, we'll come back to that. Sneak, kind of high flyer in both app security and containers, and you can just see the number of companies in the space is huge and it just keeps growing. Now, just to make it a bit easier in the eyes, we've filtered the data on these companies and isolated on those with more than 100 responses only within the survey, and that's what we show here. Some of the names that we just mentioned are a bit easier to see, but these are the ones that really stand out in ETR's ETS survey of private companies. One trust, beyond trust, Tainium, NetScope, which is in cloud, one password, Arctic Wolf, Sneak, BitSight, Security Scorecard, Hacker One, Code 42, Exabeeam, and Sim, all of these hit the ETS survey with more than 100 responses by the IT practitioners. Okay, so these firms, you know, maybe they do some M&A on their own. We've seen that with Sneak, as I said, one password has been acquisitive as have others. Now, these companies, with the larger footprint, these private companies, will likely be candidate for both buying companies and eventually going public when the markets settle down a bit. So again, no shortage of players to affect consolidation, both buyers and sellers. Okay, so let's finish with some key questions that we're watching. CrowdStrike in particular on its earnings call cited softness from smaller buyers. Is that because these smaller buyers have stopped adopting? If so, are they more at risk or are they tactically moving toward the easy button, AKA Microsoft's good enough approach? What does that mean for the market if smaller company cohorts continue to soften? How about MSSPs? Will companies continue to outsource or pause on that as well as try to free up some budget? Adam Salipsky at re-invent last week said, if you want to save money, the cloud's the best place to do it. Is the cloud the best place to save money in cyber? Well, it would seem that way from the standpoint of controlling budgets with lots of optionality. You could dial up and dial down services. Or does the cloud add another layer of complexity that has to be understood and managed by devs, for example. Now, consolidation should favor the likes of Palo Alto and CrowdStrike as their platform players and some of the larger players as well, like Cisco. How about IBM and of course, Microsoft? Will that happen? And how will economic uncertainty impact the risk equation of particular concern is increased attacks on vulnerable sectors of the population, like the elderly? How will companies and governments protect them from scams? And finally, how many cybersecurity companies can actually remain independent in the slingshot economy? In so many ways, the market is still strong. It's just that expectations got ahead of themselves and now as earnings forecast come down and come down to earth, it's going to basically come down to who can execute, generate cash and keep enough runway to get through the knot hole. And the one certainty is nobody really knows how tight that knot hole really is. All right, let's call it a wrap. Next week we dive deeper into Palo Alto networks and take a look at how and why that company has held up so well and what to expect at Ignite, Palo Alto's big user conference coming up later this month in Las Vegas. We'll be there with theCUBE. Okay, many thanks to Alex Meyerson on production and manages the podcast Ken Schiffman as well as our newest addition to our Boston studio, great to have you Ken.

Or like it did when you missed a crucial day in class, because you cut school to stay home and listen to that new Frank Ocean record the day it came out, and then had no idea what the teacher was talking about for weeks. And while I'm sure you and Frank shared a special intimate moment, it really sucks to feel like things aren't working as well as they do for other musicians. And while I know your feelings run deep for Frank, trust me when I say, at the end of this video you'll be thinking about me the way you think of Frank. Okay, probably not, but anyway, I'm about to really show you some amazing ways to get your songs to finally get heard and break you out of your sadness, so let's do this. Now I know I'm always going on and on about how important it is to find your community, and so are all the other people who do what I do because well, it's really important. I'm about to show you why it's so important, so if you haven't watched my video on Finding Community, click the link in the description. Anyway, one of the reasons we all go on and on about this community thing is it really can make your content explode. I'm about to show you a bunch of reasons that if you don't reach out to people and keep being an island boy, well, it doesn't go well for you in promoting your music. Now, the last time I did a metaphor for content, I kinda messed up, and I used the example of the human centipede, and I learned from my lessons since some of you didn't find that as funny as I did, so I'm not gonna call this next lesson the circle d**k of content or the lemon party of content, which, if you don't get, don't do your Googles. Instead, we're gonna go with the very wholesome circle of content life, since what's more wholesome than a Disney movie that if I show too much of, I will be sued for every dollar I have. America! Oh yeah! That's right. The most basic example of the circle of content life is the endless replies that you can get caught up in in your algorithm when artists and their friends are replying to each other on TikTok. And it creates almost a scene effect, where the fans of each person who's replying continue to see all the other content, and you almost get brought into a whole world of artists who know each other. You probably have experienced this, but if you haven't, what the hell am I talking about? An example I saw go viral and get huge gains was the artist's medium build song that they did with ex-ambassadors. And then they were replying to each other, singing along the song, and making duets and other content together where they were tagging each other, so if you got brought into one, you'd probably see the reply to another. Because when you continually reply to each other and others who make videos, you get locked into this almost circle where TikTok sees this as something you'd like to see. The most recent example of this happening to me was Sophie Powers and Ashley Sienna's TikToks for their banger obsessed. Seriously, go to their TikTok pages and watch a masterclass of replying to see what I'm talking about. But I want to discuss why this works. When you're replying to one another, TikTok sees this as a conversation, so they want to keep you going in that conversation. They don't get it, it's just a bunch of musicians who work together and they see it as a hint of that you want to be involved in the conversation. But if I were trying to market your song right now, one of my first questions for you is which of your friends can you coordinate with to do a fun reply to some of your best content? It gets an algorithmic boost when people are starting that conversation. Since we really see the content that gets replies, especially if it's in video reply form, is if you reply to those comments or you do a stitch or duet and to some extent do reposts since those all juice the algorithm. But some of you are thinking, I don't have features on my track, so how could I do this?  What I mean here is simply duet where your friend sings along and endorses you or acts something out to your lyrics. Encourage fans or whoever to make replies as it ignites the algorithm even if they have few followers. And if a fan gets locked into this circle of content where TikTok and its algorithm is continually serving it, it's more and more likely that your earworm is going to get in their head and the algorithm will help them get addicted to you and then become a fan. And if you have more friends who are participating in this, it gets an even bigger circle content net that can really move people in. Since these replies right now are one of the main indicators to the algorithm that this is a good piece of content and it should be spread. I kind of think of this like when those ants get sucked into one of these ant-mosh pit things that's on the screen right now. You continually get served this conversation for as long as you engage with it and I'm sure you've seen this if you scroll through TikTok. The algorithms inherently see these videos as all conversation and the viewer is interested in that conversation. They know that they should keep serving it. But one of the things to keep in mind is that term I keep using, conversation. Let's get into that a little bit more. Let's do another example of this circle this time on YouTube at first. Recently, the group Health, who we did a big dissection of on the members only feed where we show you what's working in music marketing right now, not in the past for $5 a month, which would make you a member if you just click the link below. Anyway, they were on Amoeba Records classic YouTube show that's massive, what's in my bag? Where band members go and shop and talk about the records they pick up at the store. But the group got some interesting comments as they do. So what did they do? Well, they made a reaction video where the singer reacted to some of the comments. Now, I know many of you are like, that's nice, Jesse, but no one show as me on, I'm not cool.  Let's say you imitate a couple of singers and your genre is going back and forth. Put it on one of your channels, then the other person should reply to the comments that it gets. And as you make videos, you should make video replies and then have it become a circle where people are responding to the content and creating a conversation. If you have a record label, you can do this with your record label. Or even if you have a manager. I saw this great video here just yesterday of a manager telling the story of the early wins for the band they manage. It'd be so easy for that band to reply, to points to this, make a stitch of the video or reply to the comments and create a circle of content. Replying to another account that's posting about you just creates this circle. You can do this with so many things. You just need to actually plan and think about it. Since I see this in so many of the content strategies for viral artists. Here's Artemis who has literally the most viral song in America right now that horned up banger, I like the way you kissed me, doing a collab with the original Tube Girl. Then they reply to each other's content and it hits the algorithm. I know some of you are like, that's nice Jesse, but I can't get someone this many followers to do this with me. I'm not cool. But trust me, this stuff starts at a small scale even if the person is not that big. And you could work up and keep scaling upwards. You know that term scale? That just means going upwards as you get bigger. But trust me, there is a million clout goblins who are willing to do so many clabs these days. If you just search around, you got to remember it. Any musician's a little cooler than the average person. So you can probably find someone to do this with. Some of the extra sauce here though with what Health did was really smart. They also made short form versions of this where they cut down the YouTube videos which then makes this stimulate all sorts of different algorithms and interact with each other. So these algorithms cross over and help you grow on each one. And when you're spreading this content from algorithm to algorithm and people start to see you there and get caught in different circles, you only begin to grow more and beyond people's minds more and make it more likely that they're going to hear your hook. But here's another way to do this. Let's say when your best friend drops their newest track. You do a video like this springs five best Wozak core tracks and you put their song in one of the five. Then they stitch your video where you drop their song. Then when your new song comes out they do the exact same thing. And both of you reply to the comments these videos get about their songs are from other things and create that circle of content. One of the fun things of TikTok is people have no idea who you're watching. So they have no idea if an artist is pumping up a friend and if someone watches that video and then you do it or stitch it. Well now when they reply it will probably hit them if they watched it at all and they'll hear your hook again and hopefully get addicted to you.  But I have a trick on how you can even get this started when no one follows you. And people have been using this on TikTok for years to get their followings. I've seen people do this in a really classy way. So don't worry about it being cheesy. So many of you claim it's impossible to find artists whose fans would like you that have say 10 to 50,000 monthly listeners. And while I think most of you are just not doing your homework like when you cut class to hang out with Frank Ocean that time, this actually really works well to find those artists. Anyway, you know how when you comment on someone's content one time you're gonna then see their videos for weeks sometimes in your feed? Well, anyway, here's a way to get into people's feeds just like that.  Let's say it's the artist Tushel, who I really like. First let's head to Musicstacks and see what microgenre they're in. And I see it's Grimewave. Make a TikTok reel in YouTube short and say this, my Grimewave people, I am really loving Tushel. If I'm into them, who else should I be listening to? And hashtag it with the microgenre tags you just saw on Musicstacks. Now post that video and wait for some replies to come in and then start posting your own content. And I bet you those people who commented on it are now gonna be the people who get served your video and will probably reply to you. And you will hopefully grow from this. And if you repeat this every two to six weeks with something different, you will probably see some pickup in the algorithm and get out of algorithmic jail.  And you can even do this with other things that belong in the culture. Let's say you make gent, which is like heavy metal for those of you who don't get it.  Ask what other ones should be in a gent heads pedal board or something. Or if you're DJing some of the modern queer techno parties in Bushwick that I used to go to, point to a picture of a shirt that everyone seems to have and ask where you get it and what other shops sell things like it. It will do the trick for you, especially if you use the local tagging thing on all the apps. Now, can you feel the love tonight from all the nice collaborations you've done with others to make your music blow up and create this circle of content life? I sure can. So here's the thing, while you just learn this, if you really wanna grow your family's, you need to understand algorithms a little bit better. I made a great video to teach you that so you can get fans while you're asleep, which is on the screen right now. So make sure you watch that next if you really wanna level up. Thanks for watching.


So, we'll try this again, and as people come in, I'll know whether we have sound or not. Can you guys hear me? Okay, right now. I'm actually going without my microphone. Have a Yeti, and it's not getting recognized by this computer. Okay, so yeah, we have sound. Good. So, the sound's not going to be as good as what it was beforehand, but who cares? It's early morning. We're having our pajama party. Okay, so, wow, there's like so much going on right now. I noticed that there's something, gosh, I can invite people here. This is cool. Some things have changed on Facebook Live, where I can even do screen share on here. It's pretty awesome. Anyway, quick good morning, good afternoon, good evening to Terry, Jan, Nikki, Natalie, Sandra, Sandy, Tamara, Amber, Charlotte, Cheryl. I can't believe there's this many people here this early in the morning. So, last night, I was in bed probably 9.30. You can tell I just, well, maybe you can't tell, my hair kind of looks the same. But I was in bed about 9.30 or so before I went to bed at 9 o'clock, I posted a shot of the Shuman Resonance and basically said, see you at 1.30. Now, what happened was I ended up waking up at 11.30, and I rolled back over and went to sleep. I fell asleep listening to, I just put out a new RNA, DNA, CODON activation mantra video, which you can find on n5d.com. I posted it in my last thread, I fell asleep listening to that. I wake up at 11.30, and then I just, like I said, screw it, I have to go back to sleep. So, I did exactly two hours later, I woke up at 1.30. Just like what I had said on that post with the Shuman Resonance saying, see you at 1.30. Well, here we are. Now, it's almost 4 o'clock Eastern time, obviously been up since 1.30. And we have a lot of people that are in the same boat as I am, so this is crazy. And so many people cannot sleep, we have 48 people on right now. This is crazy. I'm hoping at some point, we can all get a nap in, but I'm also wondering, is it from the Shuman Resonance, is it from what Rosie Neal and I were talking about, about these concentric rings that are being emitted from the sun? In case you missed that, I had this vision toward the beginning of this month, February 2019, was doing my walk of gratitude on the beach and I stopped and I just meditated. I got this vision of concentric rings of plasmic energy being emitted from the sun. Now, I only told one person when I got back on my walk of gratitude back then, but Rosie Neal called me the other day, and I don't know, four or five days ago. And she was talking about the same thing to me on the phone, and I'm like, this is more than just a coincidence. And as it turned out, there are people, there's a picture in the article that I posted a couple days ago on Monday, I think, there's a picture of a woman and you can see the concentric rings right above her head fanning out. Lisa Brown also posted a picture of something similar. So I'm wondering if our sleep patterns have something to do with these concentric rings of plasmic energy, because we have had on and off intermittent lasts from the human resonance. So but that doesn't explain the points and times in between where we're feeling this energy for no reason. Now, I don't know about you guys. Let me know in the chat. But when I woke up, I felt like I had slept all night, like, perhaps maybe that I got already eight hours of sleep, I feel that way right now. Here it is four o'clock after four o'clock. Okay. And this is interesting. Terry is saying, an FYI, my Facebook says your address is invalid, more censorship. Well, I don't know, I'm going to check that right now, so bear with me. Yeah, let me, in the meanwhile, let me know, how do you guys feel? How is your energy right now? You, does it feel like you've slept all night? I know for me, it definitely does. So now I'm just scrolling on to finding an article, let's see what happens when I click it. Okay. So Terry, I had no issue clicking on an article going to N5D, don't know what to tell you. But yeah, it does definitely sound like more shadow banning is going on. And that's to be expected. We're seeing the unhinged become even more unhinged and they're panicking. And it just goes to show you that we're winning when all the censorship is going on. What are they afraid of? Well, it's the truth, it's what's happening with Pluto and Capricorn. And you can see that in my most recent article that I put out yesterday, it's called Glitching Out. It's literally glitching out right on schedule with Pluto and Capricorn. It's true. And the number one thing that is happening is, I guarantee it, they're not grounding. Natalie is saying that yesterday about 230 central, she felt a huge change in pressure, felt like something was pushing on my head and lots of vertigo, I thought it was going to pass out. It was crazy. It's exactly what you're talking about, Natalie. And for me, it was in the back of my head, like right below the skull, but kind of like parallel with right about here, right about here, I'm trying. So yeah, there was this like pushing going on with me yesterday. And yesterday as well as today, the high pitch frequency is a B major, don't have my phone right here. Otherwise, I would emulate that sound for you. But yeah, there was something going on yesterday and I still feel like there's a little pressure going on right now there with me as I check out the comments. And I always get so far behind on these comments, you know, especially when I do a live beach video, because it's so hard to see. And unfortunately, you can't hold it horizontally, it has to be vertical when you're doing a beach video. So it makes it really hard to see anything, especially being outside. So yeah, a lot of people are saying high energy, lots of energy. My energy is awake, I suffer from insomnia, says Kim. They also have a mercury retrograde coming up in about a week, throw that in there. Tired but not sleepy, yes, energized, happy, celebrating, says unity, grace. Starting to wind down, having been to sleep, yes, as leap out there, left, I can't pronounce that name. I'm sorry. It's crazy though. We have 57 people here at this time. One thing I wanted to point out too, in a Q-post, a recent Q-post, let's see if it shows up for me here, oops, bear with me, let's just take it a minute to pop up here. There must be a lot of people on the Q-site right now, here it is. Last night Q Anon said, within the next 21 days, and these are in capital letters, big, big, big happenings are going to take place. So we're looking at the spring equinox during, or right around that time period. I believe 21 days from when he posted that would be the 19th. So it's quite possible that something could happen. I know that there are some people calling for it. Some big events to happen, Aluna Ash was expecting something in her last video and she was talking about the plasma waves coming from the sun as well. So we're just going to have to see. You know me, I don't put dates on anything, you know, whenever I get a vision, I'm never shown a date because the timelines are constantly changing every millisecond. So what I'm given when I see these things are just visions, I never get a date. But I know that we all feel like we're on the edge of something huge right now.  Confirmation about the back of the head, yeah, from Tamara. And Nicky's saying, funny, you should mention glitches. I've been seeing them recently. Looks like the Hunger Game glitches.  It's that simple. David's saying, no retrograde. Yeah, unfortunately, we are having the Mercury retrograde coming. Dear friend of mine, my former in 5D radio co-host Kendra is she was born during a Mercury retrograde. And I know that chances are somebody watching this was probably also born during a Mercury retrograde. Just the way it is. Kendra is also a Virgo.  You know, I think because she's always thinking about stuff. And for me, I'm always trying to get rid of all that stuff in my mind, clearing the clutter, you know. So more people confirming vertigo and head pressure, ascension symptoms, which is awesome. Kim is wondering if people are experiencing a psychic attack. I don't feel like it is, at least not in my case, but it might be very well possible. Josh is asking, are we seeing the grand event happening in March 2019? I certainly hope so. God, I hope it happens right now. A lot of people are feeling that there is something big that's going to happen in March. One of the reasons why I follow Q is because of the name of the movement, it's called the Great Awakening. Brand of you that aren't familiar with Q, there's a Q map that kind of ties everything together, which includes 5D Earth in there as well. So, and what's happening is the swamp is getting drained. We're seeing the corruption come to the surface with Pluto and Capricorn right now. Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, and as you can read in many of the articles that I've written about it, Pluto is known as the destroyer, and it will tear down everything that's not in humanity's best interests, which includes money, government, and religion. I predicted this basically when Pluto entered Capricorn, and we've been watching that happen. And the reason for that is the truth vibration is so high right now, and all these truths are coming out, and they're coming up to the surface, and it's basically unhinging a lot of people. It's making them glitch out when their belief systems are being challenged for the rest of us. We're just watching in fascination because there's nothing that anyone can do to prevent this truth from continuing to rise. Pluto stays in Capricorn until 2023, so here we are at 2019, we still have another four years. It's fascinating to watch from different perspectives, whether it is through astrology or just what's going on in the world. I know that I try to reach people, everyone, and I don't want to leave anyone behind, and that's why I do cover politics even in 5D, because a lot of people are waking up through these corruptions of high-level officials, travesties, crimes against humanity, just like a lot of people woke up during 9-11, and eventually what's going to happen is they're going to question, why am I here, what is my purpose, and I want to encourage them to continue questioning, to question everything, including the narrative on the mainstream media that they keep pushing at us, which is basically hot air and bullshit. So I honor those who are just here to hold space that aren't paying attention whatsoever to politics, and I wish I could be one of those people, but I also have that obligation to help everyone, but to those of you that are just holding space that are blanking out everything other than just keeping that space for everyone else, thank you. Well, thank you, Jenna. Jenna says the UK is basking in glorious sun and the temperature is 65 degrees, and it's normally snowing or very cold or wet. I say thank you for putting it in degrees, because I have no idea how to convert to Celsius. So if you had said the temperature is, I don't know, 15 Celsius, I'd be like, OK, that sounds cold to me. Yes, Cathy, grounding as much as possible is so important right now. I mean, do you think any of these people that are losing it are grounding? I don't think so. Sandy is saying absolutely on the edge or starting to tip over very bizarre messages coming from my best friend, which bleeped out many of my apps on my phone. Wow. Kim is saying double Virgo moon in Scorpio. Wow. In regards to Kendra, you can see how far behind I am. And you guys know me, I'm a triple Libra. My sun, moon, ascended are all in Libra. And everyone thinks that Libras are all about balance. It's the exact opposite. We're constantly seeking balance.  And that's why I always try to make time to force myself, literally, to force myself to go to the beach and ground. Otherwise, I would be a basket case, I'm sure. Kim is asking, do you believe in parallel lives? Definitely. I think that's part of the whole deja vu, where you're drawing from some experience that's already happened or is currently happening.  And you feel like I've done this before or I've been here before. And there's many, many, many, according to Dolores Cannon. Every decision you make creates a parallel universe. If you wake up and decide that you're going to wear a yellow shirt, tank top, or a tie-dye shirt, every possibility is already being played out. And we're just living in, and this is what basically the Mandela Effect is showing us, too, that all these possibilities and timelines are basically converging into one timeline. So that's where we're at. They do exist, and there are parallel lives out there, but they're becoming fewer and fewer, as we just zone in and bring in all aspects of ourselves into this current lifetime. Unity Grace made a post from Alex Miles, which is the image I shared a couple days ago about the G1 magnetic storm. So that could, and thank you for bringing that up, Grace, because that might be another reason why many people are awakening as well or having trouble sleeping. Although I've had this issue specifically waking up around 1.30 or so for, gosh, it's been probably a month or so, David made a good point, illusions cannot maintain their energy signature over time. They have to come back to reality. Those of us awake simply have to hold space and energy until it comes back around. Thank you. Quick shout out and good morning to everyone that's just joined in on our pajama party. I'm actually, I've got my sweats on, and most of the time I don't wear anything, so that wouldn't be cool having a pajama-less party, but yeah, so this is, you know, if I do wear stuff, it's usually I'll, if I do put something on, it might be like a thermal shirt, believe it or not, here in Florida. If I do wear pajamas to bed, it'll be a thermal shirt with two blankets. I love it hot. That's why I live here in Florida. Ryan's asking, do I practice the Wim Hof method? No, I don't. But I think it's amazing. That guy, the power of his brain, he can do anything. I'm sure. Taylor's asking, what time did you go to sleep? I laid down at nine o'clock last night and I was asleep probably by 9.30. I made a couple posts, did a little surfing on the internet, and then I put on that RNA DNA codon activation mantra song that I, or mp3 that I made and fell asleep probably within the first five minutes of it and woke up two hours later at 11.30 and then two more hours later at 1.30. Kathy is saying that she's occasionally experiencing strange arm aches, stiffness and trouble flexing, also center low back pain and stiffness, both come and go without rhyme or reason. Does this resonate with anyone? Well, honestly, like I said, the other day I was doing that, I was doing my beach walk. I do a walk of gratitude and I love bubble meditation and it was the first time I put on, I had an mp3 of the codon, the RNA DNA codon activation and I was doing a beach walk listening to that. Normally I have a sciatica issue and I can only walk maybe 15 minutes or so, but I ended up walking, it took me an hour and three minutes to walk the entire length of the island from where I'm at and I didn't stop once and I was wondering, God, is it possible that what I'm listening to already healed my back? So on the way back, of course, I'm still listening to this and I'm focusing on opening up all the beneficial codons in my RNA and DNA and I'm walking back and I'm power walking on the way back to see how fast I can make it back, 45 minutes later, bam, I make it all the way back, no back pain whatsoever and I've had chronic sciatic issues for probably since my late 20s. So I'm curious if that was just a fluke or if this is going to continue, but I really believe that a lot of this, like Wim Hof does, a lot of this is in the mind and we do have that ability and once we, once somebody can figure out how to turn on all the codons in their RNA and DNA, they can do anything. So that's my goal, yeah, especially, you know, I turn 60 next year. So I am kind of like, okay, I want to be young again and rejuvenate. So that'd be cool. And when you have all the codons in your RNA and DNA turned on, you can do anything, anything is possible. I can put my hand in front of my face and I'll appear to you as being in my 20s, which is how I see myself in my dreams, everyone's young in my dreams. Jenna is saying another storm is hitting for the next few days, tons of phone issues glitching, throwing me off, freezing screens, blacking out tons of static. Yeah, who knows what to expect with this G1 that's coming in right now, along with plasma waves and everything else. It's pretty crazy. So as always, make sure you find that time to ground. Claire is saying that we can feel the effects of the solar storms before it arrives and days after. And Pat's more sensitive to these waves agree, the waves are affecting those unawoken, definitely agree. And I think a lot of people that are tuning in right now are energy sensitive. Because we're picking up on these, these energies that are coming in. And we're basically like the first responders, so to speak. We're feeling the energies and we're reporting on it. And it's important that you put this kind of information out there and that you share with other people to let them know, hey, I'm not crazy either. See legs on land. That's what Sandy said. Carolyn's asking, are we all in our pajamas? I am. Janette's asking, Greg, are you still drinking distilled water? No. I've been drinking distilled water since I think 2011, 2010, something like that. I found that when I was drinking the distilled water, my hair was falling out. It seemed like it was leaching the necessary minerals from my body somehow. So I stopped doing that. But I do drink ozone water or ozone alkaline water. This is just ozone water. With ozone alkaline ice, PJs are called tracky-dacks in Oz, Australia. I did not know that. Thanks, Nikki. And you can see how far behind I am again. Linley is saying, hi, Greg. Just tune in. I'm here in the UK. I get so electric pulsing through the cabs upward overnight. I started grounding at night barefoot in the garden, and it's helped, gets worse with strong solar waves. Well, gosh, I kind of relate to that, because I had this numbness on my left foot and my toes on my left foot, and I was told that I had one side of my back healed from sciatica. I had sciatica on the opposite side, and I was told that that was a reminder to be grateful for the healing. Now, it's interesting. What you might want to do is look at the metaphysical reasons why you're having that. There is an article on metaphysical aches and pains, and it breaks it down on the articles on NPD, and it breaks it down what exactly it means. Anything that's happening on the right-hand side of your body is a current life, and it's the divine masculine. Anything on the left-hand side is a past life or lives and the divine feminine as well, so you might want to look into that. If you go to N5D.com and just type in in the search bar, metaphysical pains, you'll find it. If I remember, I'll post it here in the chat as well. That's cool. Lynn is saying that I have sciatica also, and just realizing it has not hurt at all in the last two days. Forgot I even have it. Wow, and shock. That's awesome. So there is some healing that's going on right now. Carolyn's saying men, more men are feeling exhausted now. Interesting. Like non-awakened men, 3D normies, 54 people here, and it's 430. This is crazy. Patricia is asking, please educate me. I'm a newbie. What is 5D? I don't know if I can cover that in five minutes or three or two. I'll tell you what I know. In 2008, I had watched The Secret. At the time, I was a child and family therapist working with at-risk youth, but I knew I had a greater purpose in life. I remember that day, just dropping to my knees, just telling the universe, what is it? What am I supposed to do? Literally dropped to my knees. What am I supposed to do? And I got this, the only way I can describe it is a galactic download where I just got flooded with all this information and I was told, you have to build a website.  I'm an introvert. You're the one, you got to do it. So I ended up dissolving. My business, I had a business at the time, I had a patent pending on a program I wrote to help families who are at risk of dissolution breaking up, children going through the reunification process with foster homes and stuff like that, and for parents who need a parenting class, and the program got accepted by the area's largest human services facility in the three county area, and I was working in that three county area when I got this download.  I'm like, good. I built a website from scratch, I taught myself how to build a website in HTML. If you go to the Wayback machine, you'll see what I built. It looks pretty cool. I didn't know about WordPress at the time, excuse me. So yeah, I was told to build, given the name even, in 5D. I'm a huge Dolores Cannon fan and she talks a lot about 5D earth, the new earth. The thing that struck me the hardest though, Patricia, is I see things before they happen and it's not all the time. Sometimes it's in meditation, sometimes it's through dreams, she must have been 2014 or so. I had this vision of this white light just flooding the earth. I actually saw myself standing in front of myself watching this happen. But this white light floods the earth and when that happens, all third dimensional stresses, worries, issues, they're gone. The only thing you'll feel is this unconditional love to a magnitude you've never experienced before in your life. The best explanation I can use to show you how much love you're going to feel is to imagine the one thing you love the most, more than anything on this planet, magnify that by a million, that's how much love you're going to feel. That's what the event is about, that's what's going to happen when people have been talking about it since then too. I didn't hear anyone talking about this beforehand, but since then I've heard like, Wilcock call it the solar flash, I believe. There was a woman, I had an N5D beach beat up and there was a woman there who had a near death experience and she was on the other side and she was shown the exact same thing and felt the exact same thing as I did. And so many people have came forward about it, so to wrap it up just quickly, it's a knowing for me, it's something we're heading in that direction, it's going to happen in my opinion in our lifetimes, hopefully if I had to put a date on it, I've never been given dates and I don't believe in any dates because like I said timelines are changing. I would say by 2023 by the end of Pluto and Capricorn or sometime beforehand, I don't know, but it could be sometime afterwards. No one knows and so I'm always a little skeptical when anyone puts a date on anything but positively skeptical I guess, you know, because I'm always hoping and I kind of think that we bring it to us as well, so you know, once we can eliminate more and more fear on this planet and get other people to come aboard with just learning to live in that higher vibration of truth, love and light, it'll make the event happen even much more quicker. I could go on and on about that, but I hope that answered your question. I'm almost caught up on, Carolyn's asking Greg, have you ever seen the rainbow bridge? I have seen the rainbow bridge many times, I don't know when or how it happens, but I've seen the rainbow bridge, don't have it, but I'll be putting out an article within the next three or four days, I schedule these articles, I'll be putting out an article soon about how all these rainbows are going to be commonplace all over the planet. I know it's not the same as the rainbow bridge, but I'm glad you brought that up, Carolyn, because it's going to be a commonplace thing that rainbows will be all over, not just one, many, so stay tuned for that, and that's cool that you've seen that, and I know a lot of times that, you know, people that have seen it, they'll see their pets there, their animals will greet them on the rainbow bridge, yeah, Kim, I love Dolores Ken and she was awesome, she's probably there right now on 5D Earth with Terrence McKenna and Ian Lungold and some others, Dr. Massaro Emoto, some of these people that have already passed, so I've carried on for about 40 minutes, I think what I'm going to do is probably sign off right now, but I want to thank everyone for joining me in our pajama party here at 4.40 a.m. Eastern time, probably try to find a video, I'm not tired at all, I don't feel like I'm going to sleep, maybe I'll make some breakfast, my typical breakfast is three eggs over easy, I think that's what I'm going to end up doing, making a bite to eat, and trying to find a video, of course, when I start to get tired I'm going to put that RNA, DNA, codon activation video on and fall asleep to that and see what I can manifest, so I'm going to leave it off at that, thank you once again for joining me in our pajama party and there's probably a good chance that we'll probably end up doing it again sometime in the next few nights, so until the next time this is Greg from N5D.com and Scentasia.com, sending you all infinite love and light, thanks.


What greater advantage is there in life than having the presence of the Holy Spirit abide with? There is no greater advantage than having that precious presence of the Holy Spirit abide with. Look, none of us are perfect. All of us have flaws. We all get frustrated with our own humanity, but the Holy Spirit is there. He's that glue that holds all those broken pieces of who you are together. He's the one who causes you to continue in the process of sanctification when you feel like giving up. He sustains you and empowers you into holy living.


This paper discusses the use of next-generation sequencing technology to generate a large amount of data from Lodgepole pine, pineus contorta. The authors used a combination of reference-based and ANOVO assemblies to create a dataset of 63,657 contigs, representing over 17,000 unique genes. Additionally, the authors identified thousands of simple sequence repeats and single nucleotide polymorphisms, which can be used as potential molecular markers. This article was authored by Benkman Craig W., Grannon Johan A., Geist Catherine S., and others.
