She did it right. She's like us, huh? Hey, hey So anyway, what what are we doing? We're gonna make you a video, but what are we doing? Well, we're gonna camp out in the backyard. Yes, we're gonna camp out in the backyard But why are we gonna camp out in the backyard? Well, I Don't know why Okay, we're going to camp out in the backyard because Cuz we're gonna try to find stuff around the house and we're gonna use it to make a tent and to cook out on The fire open fire. Yeah, we're gonna hang out. So what we're trying to do is we know especially nowadays people don't have a lot of money and Maybe they've got kids or whatever and they're kind of bored on a weekend Don't have any money really going anywhere. We're gonna show you kind of what you can do like maybe have a backyard camp out with your children and You know, just use some household things You don't have to be fancy and the kids that have a great time So but we're gonna camp out in the backyard, but she's afraid of getting attacked by animals Like what kind of animals? Well, let me see armadillos for one Armadillos I have a nice big black snake that likes to be around here right and also raccoons raccoons and squirrels We have prairie dogs here, too, I think. Oh, yeah. Yeah, really. Yeah, I've never seen them But that's what they I don't know. It took me a while before I seen a bear and when I did come to bear story That's a long story. This is kind of bundled up a little bit give my dear bear story Well, we decided to go canoeing We'll go and we're coming back on the river and it's getting dark and it's getting darker and we have our trolley motor and it's almost out of battery And so there's a little camp area place where you can camp out and they do their canoes their canoes there and He thought well, we'll stop here and we'll walk to get the truck and we'll bring the truck back here So we don't have to go any further in the boat It was dead. It was dark and the boat was dead Batteries were good and it was gonna take us longer. Well, we went like 28 miles on two batteries so we walking to go get the Truck and of course, it's like a little park and we go to the this long road and we get to the end of it On the middle of the woods Dark as crap out and we hear this wrestling going on He's yelling that's a bear and I'm freaking out a little bit But we move faster to the gate and find out when we get to the gate It's locked so we can't bring the truck in to get the boat and I was Not going back through the park again to get it back in the boat to go back to the other boat launch So he ended up doing it on his own and of course the little bear wanted to be with him Got a little nervous didn't you?  So I'd walk a little bit backwards and then start walking And I'd stop and it would stop. I'm like, hey bear, I'm talking this bear, right?  So I'm kind of moving slow I'm like bear, you know, I'll be out of here As soon as I can just give me a couple minutes and it was cool, but it did follow me Until I got to this clearing where the little camp area was There's like restrooms there and stuff where the camp area was and where it's all mowed down And I got to there and the bear turned around the left and it wouldn't go any farther So I don't know what that was about, but You know, I wanted to see a bear like going down the road I could stop and get out and film it for you Now and of course I didn't have, you know, I had my phone, but You know, this thing's 20 feet away from me. I'm out in the middle of nowhere My phone got serviced hers didn't so even if I got hurt, I couldn't get a hold of her So I'm like, well, I'm not going to videotape this bear. You know what I'm saying? So anyway, that's a little bear story, but We're that's what we're going to do. We're we're going to camp on the backyard Now we've got some places we can go around here that we're going to take you Do here in the next couple of weeks We're going to go camping and we'll show you a bunch of different stuff and some different things I think it's pretty camping out there. It's the Ocala Forest And I think there's some YouTube videos on that. So we're going to go and do that So if you guys got some kind of ideas of what you want us to do, let us know and You know, we're out for some challenges So like if you want to send us something and say you got to get by all night just on what I sent you Hey, we're we're we'll do it.  She's going to have a have a little drink 12 ounce drink And I'm going to have a little drink Really, really Now what the heck, you know, some of the tops. Yeah, really Okay, so she's got 12 ounces and I've got 32 32 now that's a beer guys. Hey. Oh, yeah, give it to me guys. Yeah. Yeah So there we go. So I got a couple of these you got some of those But we'll we'll get back with you here in just a second. So Just hang in there For you guys You know, that's going to take us a few minutes, but for you guys it will be in three two One All right, we're back That's probably what we're going to do We've got this rip right here. I'm going to try to run it from this tree over To that tree Now we don't have many trees here But out in the woods, you know, there's more trees, but it's just kind of a thing and we've got a tarp So we're just doing this now if I don't have enough rope. Maybe we've got this old dog kennel over here Maybe we can stretch tarp over that Which we might do I don't know it's up to monkey, but let's see if we've got enough rope here to go Around that From here to that tree And I can tell you right now. It's probably not going to be enough I don't think so what what we're going to do is We can maybe run it between those two trees It's up to you You can speak If you want Come with me You haven't done much camera work yet.   Who made you birdhouse? Would you would you tell them Remember Shea Bear made you birdhouse Okay, so what we're going to do is Now I'm honey you're filming clearly over there Listen what? What I'm going to do you keep forgetting you got a camera in your hand She has never done this. Okay, so Show them the tarp Now I'm going to put the gray side up because we are in florida Maybe it'll help reflect some of the sun away from us and blue is supposed to be soothing especially if you're at sea if you get if you ever look into One of the rafts survival rafts inside is normally normally blue It's supposed to soothe you keep you from getting seasickness. We don't have to worry about that problem. We're not moving much here but Anyway, let's drape this over here Now we do have some more rope if we need it. It's not a very big tarp, isn't it? But it's okay Now what we're going to do Is all down Yeah, slow that slow that camera down On the corners and on the sides and we'll make a little like a little tent so Once we get that done We'll be back with you and we'll show you what we came came up with on the uh On our little tent and I'll show you how I did Do do the side. I'm not going to keep this I'm not going to keep this rolling the whole time Kind of boring. I know it's hard to watch, you know a 40 minute video and we're not that exciting So I'm going to do that And then we'll get back with you here in just a minute.  We made them there was A piece to that and I cut them off and we used Too long bolts just stuff we had in the garage now kids.  That's what we're going to sleep in tonight Now if you wanted to instead of tying these ends here Right there instead of tying them there you could actually bring them together And tie them together right here and put one stake in there and that that will close the back off for you But like I said, we want a little breeze. So There's what we're going got going on there There's sort of little badass. Excuse me. What did you say it was? The tent was what? Her tea Cute. Yeah, it was cute. She said it was cute. That's my son. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay All right So we're going to leave it right here and then we're going to get to something now So we'll be right back with you shortly. I came around this way. So I wouldn't get that view Well, when I left when I walked over there to get the camera, you turn around the other way So I respect how I walk up this way I was already turned around monkey. What are you doing? I'm making my bed making your bed Hi All right, this out of a couple old tarps and stuff, huh?  It's going to reflect the heat which is true, but it's all we have right? So better than laying in the dirt But it's not about that right now What it's about is having fun in your own backyard If you can't get out or if you don't have the money to get out and go somewhere You can have just as much fun in the backyard. Can't you babe? Yep. Yep, and that's what we're going to do, huh? Yeah, that's what we're doing You're adorable.    It's a shelter. We threw it out like 10 minutes We just you can use any anything sticks You know Whatever you got the shoving the ground now. This is soft ground because we're here in florida like I said So it they these went in pretty easy, but you can make all all kinds of stuff Like I said, you can you know drape something over that a blanket whatever we've got a fire going I know we didn't cut this down. We didn't cut this up.  We cook out We've got some chicken boiling. I'm going to Put it on the fire on the open fire there And we're going to cook that up. I'll I'll show you what we're going to do with that Another thing once this fire dies down because I like to cook over coals So it's getting a little bit later right now So, I mean, we're we're going to have a great time to sit back. We'll listen to music I mean and the good thing about in your backyard folks Is you know, you got elected bringing extension cord out charge your devices listening to music You can have lights and um Let's see we had a fan on here. Oh, I got the fan in the house. Okay. Um, yeah, she she's going to have a little fan blowing on her tonight. So Yeah, you know stuff like that that you normally wouldn't be able to do would say out In the wilderness, you know Unless you're at a campsite with full hookups and then you might as well just stand back yard and save 75 bucks Or whatever it is 25 bucks an hour whatever depending but um, there you go. So we're we're going to get There shortly we'll get the food on there once that burns down and we'll get back with you and chat with you guys for a minute Well, baby. Yeah, we're going to kind of do a little hangout thing We're we're just going to talk to you and have a little bit of fun. How's that thing? Yeah, we're just hanging out a couple little stories and and just make this video a fun little video Yep, there's the old boat I haven't been able to get in that's right. We haven't been able to get in at all summer, huh?  We've only had the new motor out on it once But we'll we'll tell you that story too, huh? Yep. Yeah, but we're not going to let it bring us down Nope. Nope. We're having a great time, huh? That's right. All right. Okay. Well, we'll get back with you in a minute Okay, youtube I'm back. Sheber with a thousand here. I'm in the house. I boiled this chicken up and um What I'm going to do is I'm going to season this chicken and I'm going to wrap it up and put it on the fire Um, I don't want to fall in through the grate So Now I didn't make any special kind of rub or anything for this But what I'm going to do is I got some season salt here There's some season salt on it It's like this you guys can put whatever you want This is not a how to on how to make a chicken or how to make chicken wings or anything Um, this is just what we're doing tonight Now I got some marinating marinating sauce here Now I'm actually using pork marinate. It's 30 minute marinate But I'm actually using pork because I find it actually gives it a really unique flavor Um on this chicken It's awesome And then I'm going to roll this up several times and I'll put it on the fire And when I do when everything is done, I will show you what it looks like When it gets done So there's really all I'm going to do I might you know, put a little oil in there for some flavor And I got these here We've got the corn soaking in water because it's going to go directly on the fire too right now We've got our potatoes cooking Uh, same way wrapped up. So I'm going to get this on the fire for y'all and excuse me And when I get back with you will We'll show you what it what it looks like because as you can see it's getting dark out here. Hi monk Wave But anyway, so that's what we're doing Excuse me So I'm going to wrap this up and get in on the fire too. So I'll be back with you in a Just a second for you guys, but I'll be back with you in a minute or two.  I am like how that's what they say I didn't blow up today And your t-shirts have colors on them But I you went with me at work today.   Okay now see how It's still it's stuck a little bit, but not real bad I kind of Wasn't paying too much attention to it because I thought it'd be all right. But anyway, so what we're going to do with this is um We're going to take this back out and I'm going to put it on the fire and brown it up And we're going to eat we had to We we cooked the uh corn on the grill but I'm going On the actual gas grill, but I'm going to take it out and put it on the fire But this is what we're looking at here So we're we're going to give a smoke flavor And uh When we get the potatoes done, we'll bring it in here just the same way we're doing this and cook the potatoes Or open up the potatoes for you Then we will eat and we'll probably sign off then But in the meantime sit back relax and we'll be right back with you Hey youtube, we're back This is the second night um, I won't be able to show you how we made the potatoes because uh Something happened to the file on that one corrupted or something happened now Okay, monkey's looking at me real funny Now the reason why i'm standing in front of this damn doll is um because I've had so much problems today trying to get this I've been working on this since 10 o'clock trying to get this video made for you And I've had problems after problems corrupted files. I've had to fix them But the ending of that video from last night was corrupted, what? Anyway, so We was kind of joking about the doll when we did the live feed yesterday on uh on youtube On youtube I think she may have something to do with it. I don't know but anyway This was our weekend adventure just an overnighter in the backyard Why are your eyes so big monkey? There's things going across the screen like really quickly.  Joy life, you know, like I was saying We hope you all have a good week and we'll get another video up here for you soon. Hopefully Next weekend. We'll do something fun It's for sale. So, you know So monkey Those lines crazy. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Okay All right.  Bye. Okay, but anyway, um, check her channel out. It's monkey 1000 You can get to her channel off of my channel as well. She just did her first video that she edited herself And actually filmed herself. So, um, check it out monkey 1000 And why did the light go out because the battery is low Okay, see here we go again. Same thing is still recording. Yeah. All right. Listen guys, I gotta go light just went out What's going on? So this Y'all be safe man. Have a great week. We'll chat at you soon shave bear. I'm gone. Bye guys


Welcome! This is Melissa Armo, the stock swish, and here we have the market, Brandy Welltime Highs once again. Hard to believe I went long today for the first time in what feels like a hundred years, but I knew what I was looking for. If I saw it, I said, boom, I'm gonna do it. And to be honest with you, today is Tuesday. Yesterday was Monday. When I looked at the market, because I was off last week, on Sunday. Yeah, no, I looked at it Sunday from what happened last week. And I thought we were gonna make this move over the high Monday, which was yesterday. We didn't. And then here it is. It was today. So it's kind of crazy, but I mean, this is it. And could we continue higher here? Yes, 305 was a target. Next target is 308. After that, 310. Could we really see some significant traction here finally? I think it's a possibility. I mean, when you look at stocks right now that are the movers and the shakers in the market, Apple is one of them. Let's take a peek at this just in the bigger picture here, too. Next target for Apple is 125. We did not get through that, but you can see here we got close 12350. And then here's where the 125 area is. So we could see some traction here in the cues. We could see some traction here in Apple. And if we lift over this number, if this goes over at 130 is in sight. So a lot of great trades today called by me. And longs for the first time in what feels like I said 100 years, I have been waiting for the confirmation. And I really felt like today was it. And all of these trades worked. And maybe we'll even do some day trades long this week.  And this market, I was on cheddar this morning and she asked, Well, why is the market making new highs when the COVID deaths are up? Remember, I don't look at fundamentals. I look at the price action. I read the price action. I get up in the morning. I rate the gap and I read the gap. I'm looking for buying or selling if I'm going short. And today in the cases, I said, Hey, this is buying that's coming in and it's going to follow through. And it did. It did today. So we will see exactly where we close here. It's almost two o'clock, two hours left of the day. But some nice moves here today. Netflix, Apple, some really nice calls in the options newsletter. If you're interested in signing up for the newsletter and running a cyber sale through the end of the week through Friday, 20% off. That's a fantastic deal, actually. Email me and Melissa, the stockswush.com. If you'd like more information, have a great day, everyone.


Okay, well, it's late already. It's half past five, so I think we continue with the next bit of discussion. Like this morning, I think it's a good idea to start with the more technical questions that are addressed at the speakers specifically. And briefly discuss some of the broader issues that arise when we discuss non-new genetic systems. I would like to point out that actually tomorrow morning there will be also, there will be more talks on related issues. So we don't have to finish this discussion tonight. So does anyone have a more technical question for one of the speakers this afternoon? Of course, we would like to know more about the transcription, the unnatural transcription. So if that was a teaser, can you tell us more about what kind of molecules are you using? So we've transcribed GFP, Superbold GFP, three different codons to look at early, middle, late. And we are only now beginning to look at sequence biases, so we haven't heavily done that yet. We just got our own LC-MSMS, so we're setting up to do rigorous fidelity assays. I mean, NAB has been great, but we just can't use them in the developmental fashion, because it turns out they have other things to do. But so right now everything is based on the buy it and shift, and it's not a very quantitative measure, so we don't really care about that yet, except looking for differences. What I can tell you, and I alluded to this, I think, is that TRNAs transcribe better. And we attribute that. Usually T7-RNAP is resistant to row determination, because it's fast, but we suspect that maybe running across transcription of R-Guy slows it down a little bit, and so structure prevents row determination. So I alluded to this to you as well.  We've worked hard to get E. coli-RNAP work, and it doesn't, but there are anti-termination systems, which we can deploy, which turn it on. So that's... So you had a transporter to bring in here. Oh, that's what my boss puts. Yeah, what do you want to call it? And you said that you mutated it to reduce the toxicity. Do you know how that mutation worked? I'm a transporter person, so I feel like they didn't know. Yes. Can you tell me? We're publishing that. So I apologize, I can't, because some of this work is funded by a small biotech company, and they get hyper-sensitive to things like that. The camera. So two questions. The first one is you didn't say whether the cells turned green, and the second one is what happens when you put consecutive unnatural bases in the template? So they didn't turn green because in no case have we transcribed both the tRNA and mRNA, but what I will tell you in getting to that, we've isolated mRNA and the majority of its full length, but of course unlike replication, you get some that are abortive early, and so we get some that do abort at the unnatural base pair, and what's really interesting is they don't abort there, or they abort 11 nucleotides past reproducibly, and that's a footprint of a ribosome, and other people have already shown that, and we've gone in with specific nucleases to digest them in a certain pattern, and it is certainly that. And so all I can tell you is that the RNA is spewing out of T7, and the ribosomes are recognizing it and they're stalling. Yeah, and so the hope is that once we do it together. The second question. So we have PC or amplified contiguous unnatural base pairs. It's certainly more difficult, and I like to be clear about this. We are not creating an orthogonal system. Our base pairs require the context of a natural system. We've never even tried, and I don't think they would even form duplexes if they were all our hydrophobic analogs. Having said that, we will create more codons than could ever be used if we never put them anywhere near each other, and that's the goal. It's not in any way to imitate nature and to make our analogs as good as GC and AT. It's simply to get to the spot where you can stably store and retrieve and evolve increased information. There's the question up there. It's again for Floyd, it's anyone actually, for a technical comment. So one of the beauties about natural systems is that they've evolved a lot of very sophisticated DNA repair systems, including basic decision repair, which deals with spontaneous damnation of cytosine, urosil, spontaneous loss of base where you end up with apyrinic apyrinic sites, etc. Plus all the redox perturbations on the DNA itself and all sorts of other chemical damage that occurs. So more natural systems have highly evolved to deal with that and obviously keep the code completely faithful and replicable between subsequent generations. So how is the synthetic base going to cope with normal chemical perturbations and how will the natural system deal with that? For example, if you have a synthetic base next to say a cytosine that becomes deaminated and the urosil is removed, you end up with an ap site, do you have any information on how that might work or have you already done that? So from our perspective, the unnatural base for itself appears not to be generally recognized by damage repair pathways, MMR, BER, NER. What we think, and so none of this is published yet, but we've now looked at a whole bunch of different sequence contexts and some of them are better replicated than others and it turns out that for the worst replicated sequences, SOS plays a role and if you make a lexate, uninducible strain, fidelities go up. So we think, and that makes sense because all of the other pathways involve recognition of the neclavis and presumably they just can't, so they're probably undergoing fetal cycles, they're probably maybe recognizing a distorted duplex or something but they just can't do anything about it. These are different because it's damaged, specific, independent. Damage type independent. The more subtle question about damage proximal where the same thing then happens and you prevent repair in a proximal manner, sure, but you've got to remember all of those strains are viable at least for reasonably long periods of time because that sort of mutation, they just don't accrue enough. Certainly on the time scale of a protein expression or even frankly a long-term evolution experiment as we run them, we just wouldn't expect that to get done. Our goal with XNA is going to an XNA to a plasmid system where this XNA is producing enzymes, is producing XNA enzymes also, which is in fact a completely isolated system where I don't think repairs should be a question. You have a very short question also about the orthogonality thing. Can you show that DNA and RNA may have these spiral structures but if you change the backbone you can get these ribbon-like things. Do you think this really can be worked into a feasible information carrying system? There's presumably reasons for DNA to have this particular spiral form. The burden is indeed by the polymerase, it should be replicated at all. Of course the helicastrictor is shorter, and it's also more folded than a straight-fold. So it's certainly again not a system which you will be able to use in a chromosome or in a completely replacement in the organism. Again it should be restricted to something where it is applicable. As far as I think you can go much further as a plasmid, but that's also the reason. I would perhaps comment on this. It might be that double AX is so emblematic of biology and so on, but when you look at the choreography of DNA in the cells you see that there is an awful lot of proteins, energy expenditure and so on to unfold it. So it might be that backbones that are prone not to make helices, but that would in an induced fit like Floyd told us, be able to replicate nevertheless, might lead to replicas that would be much, much more easy to manage and evolve at least ex vivo. So it might not be an inconvenience after all, not to have proper folding in regular helices. With changing the backbone you have a whole generation of possible structures. It might be that, yes, it might be that template. You have a whole choice of possible structures. This is just one example. You have to see what has to be processed, what has to be done, what is the task of this change, the number change, topologically change to a teometry change. Again it's a question, if you use it for certain functions, I think it should be used in a cell for certain functions. Can you be more specific? I would like to know, it's a different functionality, but what do you think of? What is your dream? The dream is to encode in this artificial nucleic acids four reactions from which the whole cell becomes dependent. To put a headquarters in the cell to control the cell functions. To catalyze some cell functions in that system. And that the whole cell is dependent on catalytic functions. You put in this artificial nucleic acids. But why is there a structure better than the... It's not better, it's about autogonality. If you have a helical structure, if you have something with a helical structure, like DNA, you produce it in a cell. It will recognize DNA, RNA and block the natural functions. That's the problem. There are several reasons for that. You could think of non-Euclidean biology. So something like that, try to implement systems that have not occurred spontaneously and that are not in the axioms of molecular biologies. Just for the sake of it, it is scientifically interesting to do. There is another answer to your question, sir, which is that when you say what are the natural specifications respected by this unnatural stuff and so on, frankly, the notions that we have of natural design and natural specification is very short. So making artificial systems and interrogating natural systems with such systems as Floyd, etc. is a way of understanding. So synthetic biology is not only a way of constructing a tower of table and stone, it's also a matter, a way of understanding life as we know. I would like to have it more precise because something has to be optimized. And if it's a better shape or better structure, then I understand maybe autogonality, chemical organality might be a profit. It's an optimization organization, of course, but there's this among my fellow evolutionary biologists. There's a lot of discussion right now about whether evolution is optimizing something and if it does, what is it optimizing? So it's not always so obvious. That's not what you're talking about. So it's still a question about, I think it's very funny that you can create this ribbon like DNA structure like this. The question to me is, well, why has nature not already experimented with this before? I might at least see this in case. But then you already claimed that it somehow has tried to do that, but it didn't take it because it wasn't successful enough. No. Behind your argument. A question. Is there any plan to try to put each year old and your basically the same organism? I think it should be attempted. I think not. I think the way I think of it, and Chiro can comment, we've actually talked about this. I guess, I don't think that ours and Chiro's would work together because I think that, I mean, we've looked at lots of mis-pairing and we occasionally, in the process, we actually, in evaluating candidate or natural basepairs, we've of course evaluated what in the end would amounted to mis-pairs between our analog and other hydrophobics. Water excludes water really well. It doesn't, oil excludes water really well. Oil doesn't exclude oil all that well. The question is, do they recognize each other to your basis or recognize by his base? So do we have four basepair systems together? I don't think they would be orthogonal. I think that, so I think that they would probably go on at some intermediate level against each other. But it goes to twice. Maybe. They're each commercially available, so we could have, each of us could have bought the other guys, so obviously there's... I had a question. I mean, we've heard from George, that back as much information as possible in DNA. We use it as a long-term storage of computerized information. And then the unnatural basis that you're incorporating with, I guess, enhanced stability, certainly against biological degradation, would they also enhance stability against physical-chemical degradation? In other words, would these be better formats to store information, like for eternity, if you wish? I think they would be better, because as well the systems which Floyd is using with his modified base are splitting an artificial backbone where you don't have a glycosidic bone anymore. They are eternally much more stable on DNA. So DNA is one of the most unstable all the nucleotides we can have once you change the basis. Because we cannot have any protonation anymore no matter in the base, because they have no nitrogen analog anymore. So they are intrinsically chemical more stable. HNA backbone is highly nucleic acid which is much more stable. So your answer is yes. If you want to store information, better do it with XNA or with modified bases. And the worst you could take is DNA. Isn't there a question that DNA needs to be mutated in the evolution context? Doesn't DNA need to be mutated and changed and altered? So isn't the fact that the instability of DNA is inherently part of the evolutionary process? I think it's a metabolic issue. I mean, I'll just lay it out there. That's why you have why you have uracil bases instead of timing bases in RNA because people claim that RNA becomes DNA and uracil makes more mistakes as timely as DNA. So there is much more evolutionary power in DNA which is base dependent. Of course, this plays a game. I think that people have argued about this for a long time and I think the one argument is that it just was it exceeded sort of a cost ratio benefit to optimize to the point that it optimized because they probably could have optimized further. But I think the ability to evolve, the evolution of the ability can't anchor a subject and the evolutionary biologists can all wound up about. But I think that as a result it certainly drives evolution and it's hard to imagine how it could happen without. That's the topic which I sort of emerged in my life when I was listening to all this talk about changing your genetic code. My colleagues who are doing research on evolution by these machines, you can put animals in them and you get the code. So you get these machines and you put a bit of the animal in it and it reads the code for you and it produces the genetic code. But actually it turns out it's become very clear that in many cases this code is not sufficient. Not all of the information that individuals use to create their phenotypes is encoded in DNA. So the field of epigenetics is now a big thing. So I was wondering if to what extent it has been known whether these alternative bases are also prone to things like methylation and that sort of thing, to what extent they can be modified this way. Some of them may not be able to do so. But in natural systems there is a whole sort of enzyme system that is doing this. Enzyme systems are quite critical base if you see if you do some small modifications. You put a simple halogen or pyrimidine or you remove a nitrogen and put a carbon atom. They are not anymore recognized by restriction enzymes at all. And they are very small modifications. So I think it's going to be very methylation, very similar. It's going to be difficult. So I would give you from our perspective sort of two reasons that I don't suspect that is coming around the corner. And one is they are inherently less functional because they have less reactive functionality in them. You can look at the natural pyrimidines and you see reactive centers. Secondly, evolution works by tinkering or acceptation or whatever you want to call it. You really have to have something that's close to start from. And there really shouldn't be much in a cell that recognizes the analogs. They are pretty far off. So the idea that a small number of mutation or the lateral gene transfer in some new activity, it's probably... I would guess it's unlikely. I think there's plenty for us to do before we worry about that. Also, we shouldn't forget that there is a lot of epigenetic information also in the relations between proteins, how they make for switch or whatever. There is a lot of information that this is still available. What would not be available is the type of information by analogy that is contained in the fact that there is a lot of information about the gene technology that is contained in the fact that this science is methylated. I think it's actually more likely that our analogs themselves would act as sort of epigenetic switches by altering histone packing or unwinding during transcription or lots of things like that. If you go to artificial system, I think you should always go to the more simple system. And it's, for a part, not unfair to completely evolve the system and expecting that you would need the same functionalities for life and survival. If the goal is to have artificial amino acids in your protein sequence or an autogonal system, could you both comment on the alternative approach with the pocodon base pairs from Jason Schinquins and how that kind of is complementary to that? Yeah, so I know Jason well. To me, it's an interesting approach because there's no, ribosome production is tightly coupled to cell growth. It's really hard to imagine a robust, healthy cell expressing a completely orthogonal set of ribosomes that have altered ribosome binding sites to recognize the pocodon base pair. It's a really creative idea. People have been working with pocodons for a while. And of course you get suppression effects as a 3-codon, as you'd expect. In this case, they're not RF mediated. They're just the natural anti-codon mediated. So people often talk about combining this with sort of a Schultz and then maybe a re-synthesized genome that's had more basic re-appropriation done. But we look at that as really elegant and really hard approaches to getting at most two unnatural base pairs in. And then amino acids. And that all might work and it's really interesting, but we think that a perfectly interesting sort of different approach is just to rewire it up from the bottom and have to not worry about suppression as a 3 base pair codon trying to read it in a 4-code. Or to have more than amber. So there's all sorts of issues about trying... I mean people, George Church tried to synthesize essentials and I mean there's really interesting growth effects there because it turns out that essentials are enriched, they're GC biased, right? And they're enriched in the beginning of genes. And they affect structure and you can't delete them. So our perspective is the code and codon usage as part of the code is extremely, is pleotropically entangled with lots of other aspects of the cell. And it's just I would argue an interesting different approach to try to rewire it up from the bottom where you avoid those pleotropic conflicts. Regarding the quadruplet coding and so on, there is also it has to be recognized that what has been proven so far is translation of quadruplet between triplets. I don't think that there is a demonstration that several quadruplets can be correctly translated and that the frame has been, and as Floyd said, re-engineering the ribosome so as to make a multi-plat coding and so on would require an amount of work that is really daunting. I was wondering if you could have like ten different amino acids in a protein, ten new ones I was just wondering about could you give a hint of the kind of applications we might want to do that. What could we do with ten new amino acids that we couldn't do like two or three right now, like real application? So ten new unnatural amino acids as opposed to two or three unnatural new. So first of all, the options we have right now is one and it's not efficient. There's an immense amount of optimization required and remember the whole notion of trying to recode and maybe delete RF1 that will never work outside of bacteria you karyotes have one RF, that's it you don't have the trick to play there so the notion and from a pharmaceutical perspective, the reason all the unnatural base pairs are put at the beginning is because if you get truncation it's not as much of a separation problem if you can't do that game over because you can't separate, I mean, pharma is not going to run columns. So I would argue there's justification for a single. Now for two there's all sorts of other issues, for example in sort of simplest thing, if you go to pharma and you ask well what are the two things they're interested in they're interested in ADCs and they're interested in antibody drug conjugates and they're interested in well, peglation or preglation or PK issues so right from the start the hope is that we could do both that's a pretty easy argument to make everything else when you start to get but right now people can't do two getting to three you start to get to some more esoteric things like well that plus a metal binding site or something that facilitates purification or but ten maybe I put in those three additional colors by different GFP just because it would be fun to see color that too might be okay but I think there should be, there might be ten different but not ten at the same time we could have a cassette of two and always two different because the problem with a lot of enzymes is that the number of the reactions I can catalyze is limited. So you cannot catalyze these reactions, you cannot catalyze a lot of reactions which is due to chemistry which is not which you cannot use in biotechnology and there's going to be a reserve demand for new proteins that can catalyze different reactions for making chemicals, for making drugs so I think there is certainly a need for more than two but for generating new catalytic functions you might only need two but another cassette of two, another cassette of two dependent on the reactions you want to catalyze so to continue in this and actually I think after we should actually tomorrow morning we are actually going to continue on this because actually I am a bit skeptical to what extent we actually can design the next step I think if you it would be a big thing if you could make an alternative genetic system but then you would need to have it evolve to weed out all the mistakes that it will make right? but this is something which I suspect we will come up tomorrow also in one of the talks. There was one question in the back I think. I just wanted to comment on that question that there's two companies PECTI DREAM and RAF pharmaceuticals which use a whole spectrum of unnatural amino acids in PECTI discovery but then in in vitro transcription translation system so if you can chemically charge or enzymatically charge your tRNAs with whatever you want you can reassign the codons again whichever way you like and because it's in vitro you don't have to worry about poisoning the rest of the cell so in that case certainly for peptides circular peptides specifically the amino acids are obviously avatages and so on and so on so I think there's no shortage of cool things one could do in vitro once the code has been expanded Ok, I think I propose that we will continue this discussion tomorrow morning and I'd like to thank both speakers this afternoon applause


d to potentially do a project with them and kind of interview cemented the hydrogen space and uh i think they were thinking about it but we didn't quite see any you know real strong reaction from them and that's our last question um about sb 872 uh i read it yeah it is a little hard to understand exactly what's going on there but um basically uh i understand it seemed like it would give this agency up to one percent um you know sales tax authority that would not count for its cap we already have a half-cent sales tax so if this pass would it actually not just not impact the other jurisdiction city county um to have sales tax that actually free up the capacity of the third half-cent sales tax the third one that's perpetual and that will never go away that we're not going to fetch that one i understand yeah but does it sort of not count anymore towards the cap i don't think so i don't think it never counts yeah i i don't have to look i don't think it impacts anything else in the county i think all it's really doing is giving another half-cent sales tax availability for metro for for a ten-year to get sunset right here anymore it's just amazing all right i'm just saying like right now the legislation doesn't exist so theory that half-cent sales tax already have counts towards each jurisdiction's code right so for example city of Scotts Valley i think you're at 9.75 which is our limit if this passes and says up to one percent of metro sales tax counted if it's already a half-cent does that mean that now effectively discuss value back at 9.25 i don't know the answer i'd say it's called above it would be we would call 12 that yeah we could find out for you i don't know i'll hear that'd be nice that'd be nice if it did you were talking about world class which sounds really shiny it's very exciting but if i'm just a rider that's trying to ride a bus that i might not understand that and with this reimagining outreach that we've all been talking about doing within the next few months i'm wondering how we can use those opportunities to educate folks about what that means because you know if you're standing next to a hole in the dirt you know world class and i mean there's there's a lot of us like that and i know that we're trying to improve them you mentioned what they caused you mentioned what you're doing in the city to do that i know there's part of the unincorporated areas that could really use help of that and i'm wondering if there's ways that we as board members can take some of the world class message with us when we do the outreach because eventually i think i mentioned before if it when we go to ask for more money people need to see oh yeah that's that's a no brainer you know check yes but if they don't perceive that because they're waiting a long time understanding the rain if you're on a bus line that has less frequency you kind of need more shelter you know if you're standing in a bus stop or come down you know you're going to put up with something but if you're not then you almost need more shelter and so i just kind of think of some of these things while we're doing this outreach that tools that we could have to see traditionally you're talking about sort of disseminated to the people that we're going to be providing information yeah i mean i'm excited to show you what i think world class means yeah it would be helpful because like i said that's purely you're doing leadership stuff and some of you those terms are great but it really helps you know the riders and and and you know historically if you go back and read old stuff like rgc and metro stuff going back to probably even before mike was on any of the words the goal was to have 30 percent of the population by transit and then that number kind of shrunk to about 25 do you have goals for us to increase ridership and we have to be able to kind of meet people that aren't getting up a bus right now folks that live where there's no coverage or the frequency isn't there you know when you look at the demographics of the county it's all over the place i happen to live we're all but all of us are getting older and at some point you know we don't get to drive or maybe we don't want to drive and with all these new changes in zoning about how the parking spaces how much parking coverage rips are moving at and these are opportunities for us to get these new riders than when we can consider it just kind of one of the most tools when we do something in the South Beach so you can understand we are complete and we'll move into closed session and we have two items there public employees house valuations in office with labor negotiations i would like to take a five-minute bio break oh excuse me public comment on c oro report i was ready for that my over right oh for the closed session sorry public comment on the two items at closed set which is a fully important performance evaluation and be comfortable labor negotiation seeing that we'll break for five minutes so come back at 1142 and then we'll go into closed session thank you so the board of directors has completed the performance evaluation for the ceo general manager before you is the resolution to adopt the first amendment to mr tree's employment agreement the two items that are changing in the agreement are a five percent increase to the base salary of the ceo which would bring his total base salary to two hundred sixty seven thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars effective april 25 2023 which is his anniversary date and to approve increasing the ceo's monthly car allowance to eight hundred dollars a month thank you google i'll set i'm sorry oh that was linda kagler so and just quickly for public comment i see there's four people oh is there anyone in the public that would like to comment on this item okay i will take a roll call all right uh director brown i director downy hi director do track has left the meeting uh director calentary johnson hi director comey hi director land hi director pierce and it's not i i said i saw the phone and director newson hi director piglet hi director kiefer as carter hi and director rachael he's left he's left okay all right and the motion passes great thank you thank you for your excellent work um okay so our next meeting is friday august 25th yes on labor there's no labor support okay i just didn't know if we had to say that no report no reportable act okay um all right now we have our next meeting on friday august 25th and with that i will adjourn our meeting thank you have a good time everybody really important for the afternoon


Hey guys, welcome back to my channel, or welcome if you're new. My name's Sam and today I'm going to show you how to do an eyelash lift and tint on your own lashes at home using products that you can purchase from Amazon.  Anytime you are doing anything around your eye area, especially when you're using chemicals like we're gonna be doing today, you need to be so, so careful. Do this at your own risk. I am a licensed cosmetologist. I'm certified in doing eyelash lift and tints, so I have experience with this, which is the only reason why I feel comfortable and safe enough to do this on myself. It might be easier to grab a friend or a family member and have them do this for you while you lay back with your eyes closed. I find that it's easier to do this on someone else as opposed to doing it on yourself, but either way I'm gonna walk you through all of the steps, how to do it, share some tips and tricks.  Without further ado, let's just jump right into the tutorial. So this is the kit that I'm gonna be using. I got it from Amazon. Let me pull my hair out of my face.  No matter what kit you get, even if you have one that's different than this exact one, the steps and the products and tools that you're gonna be using is always gonna be the same. For the actual perm itself, there's always going to be two products. Step one, which is going to be your perm solution, this is going to break down the cuticle of your eyelashes and it's what's going to help mold it into the new shape. And then step two, your neutralizer, that is going to lock it into place. So think if you were like, trying to mold plastic or something, right? You would need to heat it up first, then mold it into whatever shape you want and then cool it down so that it holds and hardens into that new shape. That's basically what we're doing with our eyelash hair. And then most kids are usually going to have some kind of lash conditioner and this kit is labeled as number three nutrition. All it is is just like a conditioner. Honestly, I don't ever use that. This process, because it's a chemical process, it can kind of dry the hair out a little bit. So it's totally up to you. It's optional if you wanna use that or not. And then you're going to also have a cleanser, typically in most kits. This is gonna help clean and prep the lashes before you begin the lifting process and then also help clean off any residue after you're done. Then you're going to need your rods. This is what you're gonna be gluing your lashes to and this is what's going to give them the new shape that we're gonna be molding and perming our eyelashes into. And there's gonna be multiple different sizes depending on the length of your lashes and also the type of look you're going for, which we will get into in a second. Then you're also going to have a glue. I really love the glue in this particular kit.   This is what you're gonna use to actually lift your lashes onto that rod. Some kits are going to come with these under eye patches. I honestly don't ever use these when I'm doing this process on myself because you have to have your eyes open when you're doing it on yourself. These are used if you're doing this process on someone else and they're gonna have their eyes closed during the process. This is what will hold those bottom lashes down and keep them out of the way so that you're not lifting the bottom lashes up with the top lashes. But again, if you are doing this process on yourself, you don't have to worry about those. I find that they just get in the way. And then you're going to need some cotton tip applicators. You can use a q-tip. This is what you're gonna use to apply the solution onto your lashes. And then an eyelash spoolie mascara wand kind of brush to brush through the lashes at the end when we're done. So I'm starting off with a nice clean eye area. I'm gonna use the cleanser though just to really make sure my actual lashes themselves, like the hairs are nice and clean. I'm gonna make sure there's no oil, sweat, dirt, et cetera. You want your lashes and your lids to be nice and clean so that you get the best results possible. And also if your lids are kind of oily, it's gonna be impossible to glue the rod down. It's gonna be a huge pain. So the cleaner and drier your eye area, the better. Now we're gonna pick what kind of rods we wanna use. As you can see, maybe, maybe not. My lashes are decently long. And also I like my lashes to just look more lifted as opposed to really curled. Because I feel like when they start to curl in and you have more of like a C shape curl going on, then you don't see the length of your lashes as much because they start to like curl in. You don't see the length as much as opposed to if they're just lifted up like this. This is the kind of shape that I like. I want them to not be as curled. I want them to just be lifted like straight up as much as possible. And if you're not sure which rod length to use, just take a rod, place it right on your upper lash line and then take that tool and kind of brush the lashes up. If they are extending past the tip here of the rod, then that means that the rod is gonna be too short. So I'm actually gonna use the medium-sized rods. Depending on the kit that you use, some of the rods are gonna say left eye and right eye, and they're gonna be shaped slightly differently. So make sure you're paying attention to that. This kit that I have, the rods are all exactly the same so it doesn't matter which eye you put which rod on. Okay, here we go. This is the most tedious, annoying part, so strap in. We're gonna take our glue and our first rod. I do suggest if you are doing this on yourself for the first time, you might feel more comfortable doing one eye at a time. I'm gonna start by applying the glue to the back side of the rod. So like the curved in side.  And then you're gonna place this. I find the easiest way to do it is grab it from the top, like this with your thumb and your pointer finger and then come up from above your head and then place it down and start with the outer corner and then in the inner corner and then you wanna hold it there for like, I would say like 30 seconds probably, just to make sure it really sticks down. The corners can be a pain depending on the shape of your eye. They tend to wanna like pop up, but think of it, it's like the same as like applying a strip lash basically. So if you're really good at applying strip lashes, this won't be too too difficult for you. Once you have the rod on there, even if it's not like perfectly secure, I don't know if you can tell, mine's like definitely trying to lift up a little bit in the corners, but that's okay. Once we get these lashes glued down, it'll kind of hold everything in place. So you're gonna take your glue again and work in sections little at a time. So I'm gonna apply the glue to the rod starting in the outer corner. If you apply the glue all over the entire rod at once, it's gonna start to dry quicker than you'll be able to work and then it'll just be a hot mess. Give the glue a couple of seconds to get tacky and then you should be able to just lift the lashes right onto that rod and then you wanna go through and separate, especially you can because whatever shape they are in when they're on the rod, that's the shape that they are going to permanently stay in. So if they're kind of wonky and twisted up, they're gonna look like that after you're done. You really wanna take your time with this and try to get them on here as straight as possible. And have them be as separated as possible. Section is glued, I'm gonna move over towards the middle. Let it get a little tacky. And I find that it's easier to just like lift a few lashes up, get them like somewhat stuck to the rod first and then before the glue is completely dry, comb through them, get them all separated and straight. Honestly, those are all the tips I have for you when it comes to this part. The rest of this just takes patience. Then once you're done, you might have a few lashes. I don't know if you can tell that are popping up, especially if they're like a little bit shorter. So I just take a little bit of glue, tap it on those lashes and then brush them up. Okay, so there is one eye done. Is it 100% perfect? No, but is it as good as it's gonna get for me? Yes, I'm gonna do the exact same thing on the other eye. But like I said, if you are doing this for the first time ever on yourself and you feel more comfortable just doing one eye at a time, I suggest doing that. But I'm gonna get this side glued off camera and then I'll be right back. I will say this is the first time that I am ever doing both eyes at the same time and it's a little hard to see right now.  Step one, perm solution. Get a good amount of product on there and very, very, very carefully, please don't get this in your eye.  Try to get as close to the root of your lashes like that lash line without, you know, obviously getting too close to your eye. I don't really put product on the tips of the lashes because they're more porous and you could, it could end up looking like a little bit damaged. Try to avoid getting this on your skin as well. Once step one is applied, toss out your applicator because you don't wanna mix that in with any of the other products and then we're gonna set a timer. Read the instructions that come with the particular kit that you're using. Typically it's gonna be around 10 to 12 minutes for most like non-professional kits that you wanna leave this on for, but make sure that you're following the instructions that come with your kit that's very important.  So I set my timer for 11 minutes so I'm just gonna sit still, let this process and then once the timer goes off, we will wipe this off and move on to step two. Timer just went off so now I'm gonna take a clean Q-tip and very carefully wipe the product off and be careful when you are applying the product and taking it off that you're not disturbing the lashes too much, especially now when we go to apply step two. This is remember, locking everything in place. So wherever your lashes are positioned right now is where they're gonna stay. After I wipe that off, I like to just go through and make sure everything is sticking up right. Then we're gonna take step two, Q-tip, cotton applicator, whatever you have, just make sure it's clean. We're gonna apply this exact same way. We applied step one and then however long you left step one on for, you're gonna leave step two for the exact same amount of time. So again, setting my timer for 11 minutes.  Next, we're gonna take that cleanser again and I'm gonna go along the edges of the rod and just slowly loosen that glue. You wanna be careful that you don't like rip this off because you don't wanna rip your lashes out. I'm gonna go on to the rod, loosen the lashes from it and not tug, I'm just gonna kinda let it loosen and fall by itself. Take your mascara spoolie and brush through, remove any glue, product residue that's on them. That's how they look afterwards. You can see they just make my eyes look a lot more open. You can actually see my lashes more. Now the last thing that you can do, and this is optional of course, but personally I like doing this because my actual lash hairs are not super, super dark and that is tinting them. The particular tint that I'm using is from the brand Belmysil. This is a professional only tint, but they have tons of non-professional ones on Amazon and they all do the exact same thing and all work the exact same way. So I will find one on Amazon and link it in the description and I will also link this particular one if you are a licensed beauty professional. So I'm just gonna take a little bit of tint, mix that with Equal Parts Developer and I'm just gonna use an eyebrow brush, mix that up. Now this is when I will use those under eye patches and this really is just to protect my skin from staining and actually usually I will apply the tint while I still have the lashes glued to the rod because it just makes it a lot easier and less messy. Totally forgot to do that this time and then this is going to sit and process for 10 minutes. So here's how the lashes look after the lift and the tint. There's like a little bit of residue still kind of around my eyes so everything looks a little bit dark but I just wipe the tint off with a tissue and then brush through them with the spoolie. Now as far as after care instructions go this is very, very important. The number one rule is do not get your lashes wet for at least 24 hours. Don't get them wet, don't put any mascara or eye makeup on but that's pretty much it. It's very easy and low maintenance. The tint usually doesn't last as long depending on what type you use. Normally that'll only last a couple of weeks or so but the lift will last at least six to eight weeks.  So within a six to eight week period all of the lashes that you currently have that are now permed are going to naturally shed.  So gradually over time you'll kind of notice that they're looking less lifted. It's really important to not repeat this process until it's been at least six to eight weeks. If you do the perm on top of lashes that have already been permed you can over process the lashes and damage them. Yeah, I love doing this. It's a little bit of a more subtle difference compared to like eyelash extensions of course but I do think that it makes a big difference in the way that your face looks and when I am not wearing any makeup I feel like my face just looks like more awake and it just adds like a little something draws more attention to your eyes. That is it for this tutorial. I hope that it was helpful. I will have links to everything that I used and mentioned in the description. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. It really helps my channel out a lot. Feel free to subscribe if you wanna see more from me and also follow me over on Instagram. Other than that, I will hopefully see you in my next video. Bye.


After reviewing all of your feedback from recent calls, we got to pivot a bit on today's call and provide the club members with a rundown of the top 10 stocks in the portfolio that we would purchase right now if we were not restricted or if we did not already own large positions. Think of these as a starting point for those of either new to the club or have been looking to get into new names because you kind of miss what we have. All right. Before we get to it, we want to remind members that real portfolio management, which is what this club is designed to teach you, is all about finding the right balance between analysis and timing, conviction, and maybe most important, humility. This balance is why we have taken a long-term approach toward building a portfolio. As oddities within the broader market or macroeconomy that impact individual stocks in the short term eventually do smooth out, allowing company fundamentals to rule the trajectory of a stock over the long, long term. We understand that individual investors simply do not have the resources, the big hedge funds do, that allow them to trade in and out of names on a daily or even hourly basis. We are so not that, but we cannot ignore timing. We all know it is the secret sauce required to get the most out of our investments, and that's what we want to address today with our top 10 list. We always aim to get the best entry point on a stock as possible, which is why we scale into positions over a period of time. Many, covered by almost all my books, even including the first one, Real Money, after of course, well, you know, Street Addict. We allow ourselves room to play against the macro factors in the market. You can read more about this idea in our forum, please go to the forum, where we directly answer club members' questions for everybody. But timing is especially tricky for the trust, given all the myriad restrictions that we must abide by. And this is why we created the club format to tell you everything we would be doing if we can't do it at that moment in time because unfortunately the trust does not reflect, well, it barely reflects at times what we're telling you to do because of the restrictions. And that's just too bad. I'd like to make more money for charity, but I got to play by the rules. Even though we're not always able to act as nimbly as we would like, our goal is to provide you with as much information as possible so that you can be nimble in the way that we would like to be in an ideal world. In this fragile market, and it is fragile after I gave you the three bears, you know that, the ability to be nimble is something that cannot be overlooked, and trading in recent weeks has provided some great opportunities for you to capitalize. This is where our top 10 list comes into play, providing you with good entry points right now, with upside in the near term as well as the power to continue growing into the future. We've chosen names from different sectors to provide you with the opportunity to diversify. I know we want that, not only in terms of industry exposure, but also when it comes to short-term versus long-term catalysts. All in all, this is my blessing to you to purchase my 10 favorite names in the portfolio right now. So without further ado, pencil and paper, please, here they go. All right, the EZU, which is the European ETF, ABGO, which is Broadcom, a Google, we like the L kind for voting rights, Abbott, Dana Hur, TJX, yep, we're sticking by it, Comcast, my other employer, Newcore, pre-announce or not, Key, a bank, even though we know that the banks are trading down and then MMP, our loan oil play that has big yield that I want you in. Now I'm going to go through each of these to give you some more background and more importantly explain why we like each right now. But I also encourage members to reread our recent bulletins. Don't always stay on top of our analysis as our bulletins are where we piece together the driving forces of the market to establish a narrative across the whole market. Of course, the bulletins are much more easy to access since we changed and did the redesign, which again was something you asked for. And we gave you the votes, what you did, what you told us to do, we did. These names you're looking at can be found in recent trade alerts, bulletins, and of course investment ideas. And don't forget our roundup at the end of the week. All right, first up is the portfolio's only ETF. And that's the EZU. That's the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF. This is an unhedged European markets ETF, meaning you gain exposure to movements in the euro currency as well as the European market overall. As we've mentioned in the past, we think Europe is getting ready to really pick up speed. And we want that exposure, not just to the stock, but to the euro. We don't want to miss out on building strength in the currency. I think the currency's real. Most important, we want broad exposure to companies based on the EU as we do not want to be specifically tied to a sector or region that may be lagging the entire recovery. And that's why we like the EZU. It provides a passive way to gain exposure to the European market and the euro currency without the need to bet on one specific company that may turn out to be the wrong one. It provides for diversity across companies as well as regions, does not require individual investors to follow trading overseas throughout all hours of the day. That's why I like it. I just came back from Italy, by the way, I feel like the euro is so cheap in Italy is really coming back, but that's Spain's coming back, France is coming back, Germany's already been back. Moving on to the specific companies we like, we will start with the most recent addition to the portfolio, Broadcom Limited, Symbol AVGO, which is, oh geez, look at this thing. This thing can't be said, it's 242. We just added this name down to about 10 points from here, but that's okay. That's okay, because remember, if it's like a $24, think of it as a $24 stock divided by 10, you've missed a point, okay? That's all. You've missed a point and a half. And that's how I always did it. When you have a $24 stock divided by 10, you realize that maybe you're not so off, even if it's up 10. We continue to think it's still attractive at these levels.  You can read our initiation analysis from last week for more details. Long term we like Broadcom is it's a diversified semiconductor company, not necessarily hamstrung by the predictable cyclicality of other more siloed players. Broadcom can benefit from the increasing worldwide demand for data. In the next decade alone, data levels are expected to grow by approximately 40% year-rear. I think that's a conservative view. A trend that Broadcom can capitalize on, thanks to its growing scale, recall that Broadcom AlphaGo merger, how good it was, and leadership and innovation. In your term, we cannot overlook the eight of our go Broadcom chips that are expected to be inside the upcoming highly anticipated iPhone 8. The benefits of this seem to have been forgotten in the recent tech pullback. Please remember, I'm not caring about Apple, which we know we own, about the delay possible of Apple, the iPhone 8. Don't get it there, consumer product coming. They're not going to release it until it's right. Any pullback in Broadcom would be quite welcome to buy. We're also big fans of Alphabet, G-O-O-G-L, and as we communicated last week when we said, listen, this is the time, fortunately that was about 30 points ago, we think the recent week this is made for a very attractive entry point. Yes, the stock may have been hit by the news that the European Commission is slapping the search giant with a record 2.7 billion are fine, but the self was exacerbated by what was going on in the broader tech space. Regardless, every time the stock takes a hit, it bounces back, and that's simply because it has got so much going for it as we have written over and over again in recent boldings. Remember when all the advertisers were pulling out of YouTube? All of that put quotes around that. Back in March, sending the stock down 40 points a matter of weeks, what an opportunity that was. Very few pulled out. Some people say no pulled out. And as we told members, that's exactly what would happen. One month after hitting the lows, the stock was trading back above the level before the so-called scandal. We all know what happened next. Shares went on a huge run after another dominant quarter from the company, eventually break 1,000 bucks. This recent pullback has the same type of look. Google's fundamentals remain intact. In your term, we love the company's incredibly strong online ad dominance. Longer term, so it's away from just the $660 billion ad market, it's the company's constant push to increase revenue diversity that gets us really excited that's something Ruth Porat, the CFO, has been pushing. Whether it's Waymo, the dominant, autonomous car, YouTube, which is just going to be monetized the heck out of in the last few years, proprietary machine learning, I've seen it myself, artificial intelligence, been there, looked at Google Cloud, which they think is going to look a lot of companies are taking Google Cloud, particularly ones, by the way, that Walmart doesn't want to use the Amazon Cloud for, or the hardware business continues to engender loyalty to the Google brand. Alphabet, CFO, Porat has had a clearly defined path for success, minimize the companies that lose a lot of money in the moonshots, maximize the ones that make a lot. This is a real powerhouse for the digital age, and the stock is a long-term winner. The dips need to be taken advantage of. Moving right along, let's talk about a healthcare name we recently added, Abbott Labs, ABT. We wish the stock hadn't run up almost immediately after we initiated, so we could have built a large position, but we continue to believe the shares are attractive right here. It's up 40 cents today. Had it been down a dollar, say, we probably would have been in there. Near-term, we expect the company to benefit from two recent deals, the Aleer deal, whose benefits probably are virtually ignored in the current valuation, because Abbott fought like heck to not close that deal. I think they did fine. More importantly, St. Jude, whose medical device business is adding new life to Abbott and will make it compete against Medtronic. Don't believe, by the way, these stories would say that it's cobbled by recalls. Do believe the fact that the FDA is going to give it a little more leeway. Looking further out, the company has a strong pipeline. We'll be facing easier year-over-year comms moving forward, one of the reasons why we picked it up now, lapping some difficult issues in Venezuela, facing easier compares for China's nutrition segment. As a bonus, the company has increased its dividend payout for 45 consecutive years, generating nearly 70% of its revenue abroad, offering solid diversification. Boy, I really like Abbott here. By the way, the CEO of my Met when I was at Goldman, I don't know, date myself 30 years ago, Miles White is amazing. Also in the healthcare sector, here's one that has not worked so far to my satisfaction, or we could have traded it to 86, of course, Dan and her. While this isn't a pure healthcare stock, some would say it's a bit of industrial, they spun off a lot of their most industrial cyclical business. It's heavily weighted toward the field of life sciences, which I really like. Remember we had all that gain Thermo Fisher? This company has a best-in-class management team and benefits from recent acquisitions, almost all of which have had a higher growth rate than the core business. Essentially, as these acquisitions become more and more integrated, their growth will up-accelerate the company's overall growth. Even better, the company's actively looking to push into faster growing markets and increase efficiencies by cutting costs. While the company's dental unit has just been crushing us, darn it all, management has expressed confidence in recent calls that the end markets are improving and the benefits of the Dan and her business system approach are working their way through the system. I do not think they will let this dental problem, Patterson's got a similar problem. I don't believe that they will let this hurt more than two more quarters. They can't. The stock will be at 100 if they address the problem, correctly at least. We're buyers here and we want you to be in before the synergies cost-cutting initiatives and the turn in dental occurs right here at $83. Next up, when we bought some yesterday, TJX, we added it following the big sell-off of consumer discretionary sparked by Amazon somewhat overhyped. Well, the numbers were great for Amazon. You know, I always endorse buying Amazon, what the heck. I think the TJX right here at $68.96 works. Yes, Amazon's hurting retail. Everybody knows that big department stores simply can't compete with Amazon's prices, ease of use, mobile access. But that is exactly why we love TJX. What hurts the Macy's and the JCPenney's of the world actually helps TJX. The off-priced retailer that can purchase premium, excess merchandise at a discount and entice shoppers to physically go to stores to find their beloved deals that are below, in many cases, Amazon's prices. Remember, TJX is one of the only stores out there driving positive traffic. Need more proof of the success? Help with the fact that they are opening up hundreds of locations at a new home concept while its full-price competitors are closing down countless locations. TJX is still growing in the number of stores. They need them. Almost nobody else's. Even so, TJX has been negatively impacted by what I call the ETFization. Again, Gettridge carefully talks about this, of the markets. Getting lumped in with the baskets of struggling retailers and pulls it down too. The silver lining, this is a bargain for those willing to give TJX the time to prove the success of their business bottle, especially in relation to the broader group. I know there's one that's opening up right next to me. My wife is furious. She says, what happened to a local store? No, they know that the neighbor I live in in Brooklyn is booming. Okay, so they want to put one up. They just put another one up, not a couple blocks from me. This is an opportunistic company that people have written off. They're just writing it off. Yes, maybe the multiple is a little too high. I'll take that risk. I'll buy more if it goes lower. Next, we've got one of familiar for me, Comcast, CMCSA. We've received a lot of questions about this one given its recent weakness. Investors are concerned that consumers simply aren't willing to pay up for cable services like they once did. Millennials especially are either cutting the cord, including my kids who don't have TV. They just have Netflix or refusing to sign up in the first place. And the trend appears to be accelerating. I know that. Well, Comcast is certainly exposed to this dynamic to some degree. We feel the market is discounting the incredible revenue diversity of the company. Don't forget about the film business, universal, the theme park business, the networks, and please remember the potentially improving regulatory backdrop, which matters a lot. And of course, Wi-Fi. Either way, people aren't consuming less money. They're simply changing the way they consume it. And Comcast is going along with that. The man for content is actually on the rise, as seen by Netflix's popularity. Between Comcast's fabulous X1 platform, multiple broadcast stations, theme parks, broadband services, content-creating movie studio, and now its wireless segment, we're confident that Comcast can weather the cable storm and come out on top despite rumors that the quarter's going to be weaker. We're not thrown off by the pullback in a name that was trading more than 21% higher year-to-date back in June. Opportunity. Okay, now let's take what we talked about last quarter in the last conference call, New Corp, NUE, largest steel producer in the U.S. This is a highly diversified company within the steel industry that has, along with every other U.S. steel producer, been hurt by cheap imports from abroad, namely in places like China and Korea. China produces way more steel than they need, causing them to dump its excess supply over here for pennies on the dollar. We want to be in a U.S. steel company because we think President Trump has repeatedly stated that he plans on clamping down on the dumping from overseas. We choose New Corp because we want the best and we believe that this value-added name offers the best growth and most diversification for stability. Again, I don't think the pre-announcement was anything more than saying, listen, all the steel companies are suffering. This would be a defense initiative. If they did it, in other words, the President would use defense law saying it's a national security issue. If he does it, and I think he's just holding off right now because he's still hoping that the Chinese will help with North Korea, then I think that New Corp can go up dramatically. I think it can go up either way. All right, two more to go. Let's talk about a financial key corp. The company recently received a number of upgrades and in our view is set to push higher. Looking at key, it's set to benefit from additional Fed ratites, despite what Yellen said today, which allows the bank to immediately make more money off its deposit, which accepts, don't forget, I've been adding deposits like man because of an acquisition. Growing consumer confidence also makes for potentially stronger leading market in the super regional space. We chose key as the financial buyers that had the best quarter of the last earnings season and has tangible ways to succeed irrespective of the broader economy thanks to the changing culture and integration of First and Aggro. None of the other banks can really buy anything. They're too big. The government won a lot of them. Finally, we want to mention an energy name taking life in our hands here, right? Magellan Midstream Partners, MMP. While the company's been hit as oil prices have continued to fold, we believe the stock has been unfairly grouped into a broader pool of oil names. As we have explained in the past, and I know this company well, they come with mad money, 85% of the company's revenue is fee based or less reliant on oil prices. While U.S. overproduction in the Permian may lead to a new normal for oil prices, and you know I don't think the oil prices are going to go much past 50, they're 45, 48 right now, this will harm the E&P companies whose profits are directly related to the price per barrel. It also means there's oil that needs to be transported out of the region. This is more volume and more fee income, fee income, excuse me, for MMP. So we're sticking with MMP, which has a roughly 5% distribution yield can raise that, paying you to wait as investors pick out the winners from the group's ETF. Again, ETFization is hurting this. MMP's payout is safe, supported by the company's commitment to a 1.2 times distribution coverage ratio. They do not have the usual incentives of some of the other guys, much more fair common stockholders, and they have space in the Permian pipe to be able to take more oil, which is what's needed. It costs $2 to $3 additional if you don't use their pipe. It's just a good company. So there you have it, our list of 10 stocks that we would buy right here, right now. We believe these offer diversification, short term upside, and stability over the long term. That being said, this does not mean we don't like our other holdings. But when looking at trading in recent weeks and understanding that most members of the club cannot own every stock in the portfolio, we believe the time is ripe for these 10 names. If you're just joining the club or looking for a new name to add to the portfolio, these companies are where we would recommend starting your search. As you continue to evaluate your decision, we'll be here posting our analysis to help you along the way. Just to stop for one second. We were going to include Facebook, but in the time since we prepared for the call, Facebook stock has just run eight points. We were thinking about including Apache, but Apache just bumped very, very nice. I'm not going to say buy it. We were thinking about Southwest on a brutal downgrade.  The downgrade made no sense. So we just constantly went over this and come up with those 10.


Yes, yes, we actually picked up a season now. We have, yeah, we're saddened, man. I feel great, brother. Look at this, brother. How are you doing, bro? We're running down. Hey, look right here for a photo. One, two, three. No rush for him right here. Thank you, man. Have a great day today. Have a great day.


Welcome back to my channel guys! Today I thought I'd do a demonstration of how to make homemade natural deodorant. Now before I dive into the tutorial, I thought I'd just mention a few things beforehand. Now when you switch from using conventional deodorants to using natural deodorants, it can go through a transition period where you might get a rash or something under your arms when you use it or it might be irritated or itchy. Now if this happens you can do what is called an armpit detox. This does sound really strange, I know when I first heard it I was like what is this? It's pretty simple to do. I'll link in the cards above the blog post where I talk about how to do one and what the benefits of doing one are. So I'll link that in the cards above and you guys can check it out if you like. But yeah if you do switch from using a conventional deodorant to a natural deodorant just be aware that this may happen and if it does, there are things that you can do to help such as leaving out baking soda in the ingredients list or yeah go doing that armpit detox because it helps to get rid of all the toxins that are built up over time from using conventional sprays and things. Alright so let's get started on the homemade natural deodorant. Yay! So what you'll need for the ingredients are two tablespoons of shea butter, three tablespoons of coconut oil, three tablespoons of baking soda, two tablespoons of arrowroot powder and essential oils like optional bialatesan just to give it a bit of a natural fragrance. So what we're going to do is we're going to combine the shea butter and coconut oil in a quart sized glass mason jar and place this in a small saucepan of water over medium heat until it's knotted. Next you're going to remove it from heat and add the baking soda and arrowroot powder and then you're going to mix it really well until it's completely combined. Next you're going to add the essential oils if you're using them and pour the mixture into a glass jar or old deodorant container for storage. Just a side note it doesn't need to be stored in the fridge you can just keep it at room temperature. Now it may take several hours to completely harden so if you want to speed up the process you can place it in the fridge for a few minutes and this will help it to harden quicker. And that's it you're done! It's pretty easy to make as you saw and it's fantastic to use as the scheme of things is actually cheaper to do it this way because you can make more of it and it can last over a longer period of time than buying small portions of natural deodorant and constantly going through it all the time. Now if you're not into making natural deodorant or you don't have the time to do it sometimes this can be the case. I use a natural pre-made deodorant from Porter Healing and I'll link this in the description below if you want to check them out as well. I write out the whole recipe as well in the description below for you guys to check that out too. Now if you're new to the tribe feel free to subscribe down below if you like the video please give it a thumbs up and feel free to comment your thoughts on the video or what other videos you'd like me to do in the future some ideas you might have. I hope you liked it guys and I'll see you in my next video. Bye!
