In today's video, we're going to talk about how to take care of your Bombay cat. Bombay cats were originally a cross between American shorthairs and Burmese cats. The goal was to get a domestic house cat that looked somewhat like a small panther. It's hard to tell what is more captivating about this beauty, the shiny black coat or the golden eyes. The combination is an absolute marvel. The Bombay cat is muscular, but a deceptively heavy animal. Don't let the small size deceive you as it could weigh up to 6 to 11 pounds and can live up to 12 to 16 years of given proper care. They could be likened to your typical black leopard as the Bombay walk with a sway similar to them. These cats are hardy, and grooming them can be easier than grooming a long-haired cat. They are relatively healthy with a few exceptions. Because they are inquisitive, energetic cats, they do need some stimulation to be happy. Here are some efficient ways on how to take care of your Bombay cat. Grooming your Bombay cat. Brush your Bombay cat on occasion. Bombay cats, with their sleek, soft fur, don't need much brushing. A once a week brushing is more than sufficient. Often, just petting is enough to remove the dead hair and help move oils around. A curry brush is good for this cat. Also, these cats only really need to be bathed when they get into something messy, such as if they go running through the mud outside. White Bombay cat's eyes regularly. The Bombay cat is prone to excessive tearing in the eyes, more so than other breeds. Tears can be irritating, so try to wipe down the corner of your cat's eyes at least once a day. Use a soft cloth dampen with warm water. Clean Bombay cat's ears. Bombays, like all cats, need their ears cleaned regularly. Clean them when you notice a build up of wax on the inside. Ask your vet for a good cleaner, then use a cotton ball or swab moistened with that cleaner to gently bathe the inside of the cat's ears. Clip Bombay cat's claws. You also need to trim the cat's claws fairly regularly, such as twice a month or more often as needed. You'll notice when they start getting long. They'll be extra sharp, and the cat will keep getting them stuck in things. Start by getting your cat used to having its feet handled and its claws extended. Then get it used to the noise of the clippers. You can practice on a piece of spaghetti with the cat nearby. When it comes time to trim, have the cat in your lap with its head away from you. Lift up one of its paws. Push gently on one of the cat's pads, extending the claw. Before trimming, make sure you can see the quick, the pink nerve and blood vessel inside the nail. Avoid clipping that. Remember your cat may become impatient. You may need to do its nails in more than one session. Brush your Bombay cat's teeth. Brushing your cat's teeth may sound like more than you bargain for when getting a cat. However, clean teeth are essential to a cat's good health, so it's an important step you should take regularly. Start by getting your cat used to the idea.  Once your cat seems okay with this step, you can move on to brushing. Use a toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for cats. Give your cat a taste of the toothpaste. Apply a small amount to the toothbrush. Using the toothbrush, apply the paste of the teeth, reaching to the teeth in the back. Rub it in gently. While you're brushing, look to see if your cat's gum seemed pink and healthy. Also, check for any mouth wounds or broken teeth. Hello. This video is sponsored by Beemix Pets.

Pick a Bombay cat from a good breeder. If you're getting your cat from a breeder, make sure you choose a good one. The cat should be bred in the person's home and handled often. It can help to visit and see the place, as well as meet the kitten's mom and dad to see what they're like. Ask for references and for a health guarantee in case the cat is born with congenital issues. Watch for breathing difficulties. This cat has a relatively short snout. Because of that, the breed is more prone to problems with breathing, such as brachycephalic airway syndrome. In mild cases, you may notice your cat breathes loudly or snores. In more severe cases, you may notice your cat only breathed through its mouth, tires easily, and may even pass out after playing. If your cat passes out, take it to the vet immediately because it could be more than a breathing issue. It could be a cardiac issue. Home treatments include helping your cat lose weight, keeping your cat inside, particularly when it's hot out, keeping stress down, and discouraging strenuous exercise. Your vet may also give your cat anti-inflammatories, corticosteroids, or oxygen treatments. If the condition is particularly severe, surgery may be needed to correct it. Get regular checkups. Like any cat, Bombay cats should be taken to the vet regularly for checkups, at least once a year. Cats often do not show symptoms of diseases until the diseases are advanced. Checkups help get your cat diagnosed more quickly so that it can be treated. For instance, like most cats, Bombays are susceptible to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a thickening of the heart walls. However, not all cats show symptoms of this disease, so it always needs to be diagnosed by a vet. Keeping your Bombay cat happy. Provide plenty of engaging toys. Bombays are smart cats, so they need to be entertained more than some other cats. Have plenty of toys on hand to keep your cat happy, such as puzzle toys and other engaging toys.  Free and cheap items are just as fun for your cat, such as paper bags and cardboard boxes. It's also a good idea to provide places your cat can jump, such as cat trees. Play with your Bombay cat. While your Bombay will likely find ways to entertain itself, it will also enjoy playing with you. In fact, you may even get this cat to play fetch, since it enjoys interactive activities so much. You can also use stick toys with lures or fleece strips on the end to entertain your cat. Give it warm places to snuggle up. Most cats like warmth, but Bombays are particularly partial to warm spots. Make sure you provide plenty of warm spots, such as cat beds and sunny windows, to help keep your kitty happy. A window is a good idea because they'll also enjoy birdwatching, because these cats like warm spots, they'll often crawl under your blanket when you go to bed. Try leash training. Because Bombays are so smart and engaged, they take more readily to leash training than some other breeds. It's best to start young, though, as the cat will take to training more easily when it is a kitten than when it's older. Cats should only be trained using positive methods so don't punish your cat. Start with just a harness worn while the cat is supervised. A cat can slip out of a collar. Let the cat wear the harness around the house to get used to it, but make sure that you're watching the cat to prevent it from getting injured if the harness gets hung on something. Take the cat outside on short explorations. Stay close to the house at first, as it will feel safer. In fact, just hanging out with the cat in the yard will help your cat adjust. Some cats may never get used to being outside. Work up to trying short walks. Remember, your idea of a walk may not be your cat's idea of a walk. When it comes to taking care of them, they don't need that much more attention than other cats. However, feeding them is an exception, because they have a special kind of anxiety and obsession with food that makes them indulge in everything they find. So, it's a good idea to watch their diet and don't leave food out for them all day long. Feed them on a schedule and make sure their food is good quality, low in fat, and high in nutrients. If you love cats, but you want one that's affectionate and sociable, the Bombay cat might be perfect for you. If you enjoyed this video, kindly press the like button.

What's up navigation traders? Hope everybody had a great week of trading Welcome to this week's video update today's Friday, January 5th I hope you are enjoying all of the new course training that you got in your members area now as a pro member So getting a lot of good feedback from members. So I'm glad that is helpful. Let's uh, let's jump into the alerts for this week So starting on Tuesday remember New Year's Day was on Monday So short week of trading first trade was on Tuesday, January 1st where we opened a Short strangle in FXI So if we go to the platform take a look at FXI still pretty centered within a range here No profit or loss just waiting for some more time to pass as well as some contraction in implied volatility to benefit that piece Next trade was a closing adjusting trade in Nat gas So we closed out the put vertical side of our iron condor Price breached our upside break even so we closed out the untested side So we're still holding that call vertical side and as I mentioned, we're still holding the other full iron condor as well So if we take a look at Natty gas Here's what we got here. So if we take a look at just the Just that call side that was that alert there So you can see so price came up and breached our upside break even and Since that alert prices come all the way back into our range So we just need a little bit more time to pass or a little bit more down movement and we'll book that piece for a profit The other piece that we have on is the full iron condor and you can see price still well within our range You need a little bit of an up move on this piece to before we book a profit on that one so hopefully we book a profit on both of these pieces get a little bit of back and forth and And then we might potentially be at a Natty gas. Although if we look at UNG, which is the corresponding ETF First of all today, they did kind of the reverse split on these on these symbols that have a drag to them And if the price gets too low, then they'll reprice it so you can see it went from six dollars up to 22 Well, it's all priced relative. In other words, if you were long this you didn't make a bunch of money and vice versa but what I wanted to show you was simply the implied volatility in that gas is up near 100 So with that high volatility, we'll still continue to want to sell premium in that gas So if we take one off We'll probably be adding another one to continue to play in that because we're getting such good credits for selling premium in that gas at this point remember you you got to use UNG as the symbol to look at to Figure out what your implied volatility is because if you look at it on the actual futures That's not an accurate reading. So make sure you're looking at UNG for that Next trade was a closing adjusting trade in wheat. So we closed out one of our iron condors booked about a 40 percent Over 40 percent of max profit on that piece now. We still have if we take a look at wheat We still have two other iron condors on one of which was a an alert I'll address here in a bit, but this is our this is our other one And so me a little bit of down movement in wheat to benefit this piece and Then another alert we sent out this week was adding another iron condor In fact, this was this alert was today and you can see it's still very centered nothing to do in that one So working our way back nicely in wheat Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in XRT. So We had an adjusted strangle which ends up being a straddle because it's at the same strike It's a 44 put 44 call. So we simply rolled that from January to February We kept our strikes the same With 16 days left to January to expiration in January Remember on these especially on these uncovered options like strangles and straddles once we get under that 21 days to expiration The risk or the gamma really starts to accelerate So we want to we want to lower that risk by rolling out to the next expiration cycle So we rolled out to February and then as I mentioned, we're also holding the other strangle the 43 48 in February IV percentile in XRT continues to stay high. So again, it's another good trading vehicle right now We take a look at XRT So what we've got here, here's the here's the one that we just put on so you can see prices still very centered and then the the other strangle which I'm showing here as as a as a Theoretical position but reason being is because I'm transitioning the alerts to a new account And so this is this trade is actually on but for this purpose So I don't have to switch platforms in the in the middle of this recording I'm just showing you this theoretical trade But I've got the price locked in at the actual trade We got filled at and as you can see it prices hanging out up here near our Upper side of our range. So we need a little bit of down movement in XRT to benefit that piece Next trade was opening trade in SPX. So we put on a calendar IV percentile of time was five It's gotten down even lower with the market moving up and So if we take a look at SPX And again, this is another one that we're transitioning to the new new account So I'm showing it Theoretical but this is the actual price that we're filled at and that we are in the trade at You can see price has moved all the way up through our break even I was trying to get filled on an adjustment this afternoon never got filled So we will look to potentially add another calendar on here and SPX just like we teach in the course To make that adjustment. So look for that first thing on Monday next trade was an opening trade in Alibaba and so what we did here is this is a pre earnings long strangle So a lot of times for these pre earnings trades like this when we're just trying to capture that Increased expansion and implied volatility will do a long straddle in this case based on where the strikes were and the pricing We actually widen that out a little bit did the 185 180 and we did a long straddle long strangle So if we take a look at Baba And again, this is one that we are move transitioning to the new account as well. So What you can see here is we're already up about 200 bucks on the trade. I was trying to get filled to get out of here Today didn't get filled. So hopefully price stays higher And maybe we get a little bit of pop higher and a little bit more expansion implied volatility But this one will be coming off Potentially early next week as well for a nice profit total total buying power on this was 829 dollars. So we're looking for about 20 25 percent profit and we are there So we'll be looking to you manage that one as a winner potentially Monday Hoping it doesn't come down on us over the weekend Next trade was a closing trade in Microsoft So we had a short put vertical on a bullish play in Microsoft booked a profit of about 60 percent of max profit there So that was a good trade and same thing in Starbucks. We had a bullish trade on in Starbucks We booked for over 35 percent of max profit in that trade. So that was another good one Next trade was a closing adjusting trade in DIA. So we had a an iron condor on in the diamonds we Price breached our upside break even so we closed out the put vertical side Closed out the untested side just like we teach in our course Ivy percentile at that time was about 24. It's gone down a little bit since then So now we're just holding the call verticals. So if we take a look at DIA You can see we've got two call verticals on both of which to have moved out of our range at this point Really what we're looking for is just holding this to to remain To keep some short delta in our portfolio These January options have how many days do they have left? They've got 14 days. So next week Unless we get a big move down or even if we do get a big move down in the market We'll be rolling these From January to February So look for that at some point probably later next week. We're in no rush I mean if we get a if we get a nice down move that's gonna help our portfolio But remember we always want to keep a short bias on our portfolio Now with the with the extension of the market that we've seen to the upside. I mean look at this thing This thing is just super strong with that, I mean we've we've Naturally acquired additional short delta So we are a little bit more short biased in our overall alerts portfolio than I like to be but we'll address that next week by either adding in some long Delta with new positions or Lessening our overall short exposure But that's just kind of the nature of it when you're when you're playing these Market neutral trades as the market moves sometimes you'll get a little bit more short bias Sometimes you'll be a little bit more long bias But we want to make those make those adjustments so we don't get too Overweighted in one direction and we're a little bit overweight in to the short side right now But we'll we'll address that next week Next trade was a closing trade in Ford slash ZN, which is the 10-year note. So we had a short strangle on We had this on we put this on just 10 days ago And we booked a profit today Around 30% of max profit in just 10 days. So that was a nice nice trade This is another one of those when we're trading the futures that we have to use the corresponding ETF Which in this case is TLT So if you look at TLT you can see we got that nice contraction in implied volatility last couple days Gave us the opportunity to to book that book that quick profit and Lastly we had an opening adjusting trade in Ford slash ZW, which is the wheat futures and I already went over that But this is where we added that additional iron condor on in wheat So now we've got the two iron condors. This is the one we just added today So obviously still very centered and we'll continue to monitor and manage that as needed Let's go over some of the other positions that we have on we've got in the Ford slash ES Which is the S&P 500 futures. We've got a couple call verticals again with the strong market They've moved up out of our range, but we'll look to roll those next week again, we've got about four we've got 14 days left to expiration on Those so we'll look to roll and adjust those next week Nat gas I went over that soybeans in Soybeans we've got a couple of different positions. So we've got this Let me reset this so I can uncheck some of these so we've got this Shortput vertical so we need a little bit of up movement to benefit this piece the February options have 21 days So we still got a lot of time in there got Over two weeks before we'll look to potentially roll that and then we've got our full iron condor, which is in March and That's still very centered. So nothing to do there I went over Baba Costco So this is interesting. So even with this strong market Costco did not participate In fact, it was down almost three quarters of a percent today We take a look at the chart, you know, as long as it's staying above that 185 level We're gonna we're gonna let this continue to play out But we just need a little bit of a move up to about you know Kind of retest the highs there and we'll book a profit in Costco If we get a close below that 185 level, we'll probably cut our cut our losses on this We initially put this on as a post earnings short put vertical where after earnings You can see price jumped up above its expected move and a lot of times It'll it'll grind sideways to higher in this case had a little bit of dip came back and it's just kind of hanging out here So we'll continue to watch and monitor Costco DIA I talked about EWW. So this is the Mexican ETF We got in this when applied volatility popped above 50 It's had a decent move up if it continues higher into next week We'll make an adjustment by rolling up the untested side But as for right now, we're just waiting for a little bit of a down move in EWW to benefit that one FXI we've got that strangle here. I think I already mentioned that one IBM so We were we were looking to get filled and take profits when it was trading right around here at about 156 dollars And then it made a huge move up pretty quick. We're unable to get out So we will no need to manage or adjust this yet But if it does continue to move higher in the next week, we will roll up our untested side and then And then we'll want to roll this out to February as well IBM does have earnings coming out on 118 So, you know, we want to be aware of that. We've got some we've got some time before Before that comes into play, but we'll be keeping an eye on that Then IWM we have this short call vertical, which was part of an iron condor Waiting for a little bit of a down movement there if we don't get that into next week We'll look to potentially roll this or add an additional iron condor if if we get a little pop-up and implied volatility. I Mentioned the Q's I mentioned SPX Xlu So if we take a look at the analyze tab here, you can see we've got a decent little profit total buying power in this almost 600 bucks. So we're looking for about a 25% profit on this. I was trying to get filled on this today. Didn't quite get filled So we will look to hopefully book a profit First thing Monday morning in Xlu. So that's all the alerts for the week And that's all the positions that we currently have on Hope everybody has a great weekend. Look forward to a great week of trading next week. Have a good weekend. Talk to you soon


Break-even is an important concept. When starting a business, the first test of reasonableness is how many units need to be sold to break-even. If it's a whole lot, maybe starting the business is not a good idea. Break-even can be defined a few different ways, but it always means the same thing. It is the sales level where operating income is zero. Another way to think about it is when contribution margin equals fixed costs, or total revenues equal total expenses. There are three approaches to calculating break-even. The income statement approach, a shortcut approach using the unit contribution margin, and a shortcut approach using contribution margin ratio. This short video will focus on the shortcut approach using contribution margin ratio, and it's a much better way to do break-even analysis than the income statement approach. Here's an example of a contribution margin income statement. The shortcut formula you will want to remember to calculate the sales dollars to break-even is fixed costs plus target income divided by the contribution margin ratio. Remember that to break-even means that operating income is zero. So let's assume the following data. Price is $50, variable cost is $30, therefore our contribution margin per unit is $20, and the fixed costs are $10,000. Using this information, we can calculate that the contribution margin ratio is 40%. So the calculation is 10,000 plus zero divided by 40%. Thus we've calculated that the sales revenue to break-even is $25,000.

Looking to attract more meeting planner business? First things first, let's attract the meeting planners to your destination. Today we're going to talk about best practices on planning a familiarization trip. Hey it's Leanne from LeanneColderwood.com and Conference Direct and I've had the great privilege of attending some really well-planned fams over the years and so those DMOs really were the inspiration for this post. I'm well executed fam for meeting planners can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of new business, potentially even millions of dollars of new business. But in order for meeting planners to want to bring their delegates to your destination, that meeting planner familiarization trip needs to go off without a hitch and it needs to leave an impression. So these two, these tips do a little bit of both. It's logistical things that you can do to make sure that it goes off swimmingly well and so meeting planners want to return and have that same logistical successful experience when planning their own meeting. But you also want to make it personal and you want to leave an impression on that planner so that they think of your destination very fondly when they're starting to think about future destinations for their meetings. So here we go. Tip number one, make sure you have one point of contact for the meeting. There's likely a team of people helping you with this familiarization trip, but having one point of contact makes it really easy for the meeting planner to get information back and forth to you and get ready for this trip during their busy schedule. Tip number two, look at your familiarization trip timing. In fact, there's one destination in here in Canada that I would love to visit, but their fam trip takes place at the same time every year and I just simply can't go because I have other commitments during that exact same time. The other thing you might want to consider if you're going to host your fam over one of your city's popular festivals, it's a great idea to do it during that really vibrant time in your destination. But make sure that you outline to your meeting planners what it means for their meetings if they also visit during that busy time. Chances are their room rates at those hotels are going to inflate because it's during this festival season. But it's still a great chance to show off the city, show off the energy, just ensure you're honest with your delegates about what happens if they bring it during the festival time or outside the festival time. Tip number three, have a strong and confident vetting process. What I mean by that is there's a lot of casual meeting planners out there that may not look at this opportunity as an education based experience, but rather they look at it as a free vacation.  So ensure that your vetting process is very clear and it really confirms the types of meeting planners that you want to attract to your destination. Tip number four, a pre-fam survey. Now most of the fams I've gone on have had these surveys, so you guys are already doing a great job of getting the surveys out there. Make sure your survey includes questions about the programs themselves, including size, demographics, even time of year. And then when they arrive on site for the fam, you're able to speak directly about that program and offer that meeting planner some insights based on their program that maybe they wouldn't think of because they're not as familiar with your destination as they are. Tip number five, work collaboratively. Now although services and hotels and venues in one destination are essentially in competition with one another, the familiarization trip is not the time to be competitors. This is the time to really come together and attract the meeting planners to the destination themselves and then start to look at ways of attracting them to your particular hotel or service. Tip number six, showcase the unique. Now this would seem like an obvious one where you're going to show off the strengths of your destination, but ensuring you do that as it relates to the meeting objectives that you may have uncovered with that pre-fam survey. In fact for meeting planners themselves, I did a blog post on how meeting objectives drive the destination. If you're interested in that, you can check that out here, but it's encouraging planners to ensure that they have their goals and objectives outlined as they consider destinations for their program. So you as a destination, you can also do that in turn and help them along that way. Number seven, the itinerary. Of course meeting planners love itineraries. They love calendars. They love lists. You need to make sure that it's complete down to the dress code, the expected weather conditions, what they do the second they step off the plane at the airport right up until they step back onto that plane at the end of the familiarization trip. Make sure you incorporate some downtime into your itinerary. We're dealing with a lot of busy planners here and they're going to need some time to absorb all the things that they've learned and how it's going to parlay into their programs, but they also just need to touch base with their offices or with their clients to ensure that nothing's fallen off the rails while they took some time away to visit your destination. I did a blog post on how to work with busy third party planners. You can find that video and blog post up here as well and it might show you a few more things that third party meeting planners are thinking about, especially when they're away from the office. And finally, a post fam debrief. Similar to the pre fam survey. Now you want to see if your destination lines up with their goals and objectives for their meetings. Ask them, do you think our destination would be a good fit for your meetings? Lead them down that road and ensure that they have all the information available to make educated decisions after the fam is over. Surely there are some best practices that I have missed here and I want to hear from you. Will you let myself in the community know some of the best practices you have when planning your fam trip for your destination? We want to share this information collaboratively so that we can all up our game and provide the best possible experience for our meeting planning community. These tips are a reflection of what I've experienced over the years, but there's tons of ways that you can personalize the fam trip to your attendees. The key to a successful fam is for it to be planned and executed to perfection so that meeting planners know when they visit your destination that their meeting plan meeting is going to go off without a hitch as well.
