All right, welcome back to the channel everybody. For those of you who are new around here, my name is Michael AKA Dr. Chlini and I'm an interventional radiologist. Hopefully you don't hear as much echo as you did in the previous video because I put up some like sound dampening panels. But if you do hear some echo, let me know in the comments below. I may need to put up some more. Also, this is still a disaster. I have my board exam in two days. So I was testing out all these different like setups and how I'm gonna do it. I think I was just gonna use this screen plus my laptop. Take it this way, take it in my office. That way nobody bothers me. You have to have a webcam to like watch you. This whole thing is just ridiculous. But nonetheless, it is on Wednesday and this will be my setup for it. I still don't have my desk here, which is just a whole another thing. I'm not gonna talk about it because I was getting depressed. You've seen the title of this video and by now you know that it's about SDN and Reddit and those kind of forums. And the reason I'm doing a video on this is because someone sent me a message of a screenshot of some of the comments on, I don't even know what post it was on Reddit. This was the comment. I'll put it right up here as I read it. With that being said, I do know that there's at least published data and resident attractiveness is more influential than most other metrics for when ranking desirability for interview. I am suspicious that this is how influencers such as Dr. Chalini, myself and Madeline from Madeline's Musing, also my friend, wake up here, got their highly competitive resident specialties. So this person is basically saying that the reason I got into international radiology, which is a very competitive field and the reason Madeline got into dermatology, which is another really competitive field is because we're attractive. Now, that's very nice of them to say. However, that is so not true and it discounts all the hard work we did to get here. Someone sent me that and they were like, why don't you just talk about student doctor and Reddit and all that stuff in the video? And that's what prompted me to do this video. So let's go ahead and get on into it. All right, so I'll admit I do browse Reddit every now and then. I think it has some pretty good information and it's pretty funny at times, but there's so much stuff out there that's bad for you, especially in the medical subreddits. So today I'm going to talk about a few reasons why you shouldn't check these websites and then maybe at the end I'll talk about a few things I liked about these websites. Reason number one that you should not browse these websites is because they are full of misinformation. Like literally there's good information on these websites, but also there are so many misinformed people talking and commenting on these platforms and it's kind of crazy.  For instance, medical students are talking about how they matched into residency and how you should match into residency. They haven't done that yet. The residents are talking about how you should do X job or what you should be looking for or talking about future careers in that field and they obviously don't know what they're talking about either because they haven't had a job in their field yet. So there really is just a ton of misinformation about stuff nobody really knows about.  And supporting his wife, he probably doesn't even like PAs all the time. I'm like, what are you even talking about? And that's the thing that drives me crazy is the same people who are making those statements about how PAs are taking all the physician's jobs and PAs are bad for physicians and all this stuff, they, that's how much they don't know. For instance, I've said a million times, PAs in my practice and in my field especially, like I literally wouldn't be able to do my field without them.  Like it's crazy, that's how you know they have no clue, but they're commenting about it, talking about it, they're stealing my jobs, they're stealing these jobs, they're not stealing my job. I literally can't function or do my job without them. My job would be unbearable without PAs. So no, I'm not a shill for PAs, like Reddit likes to think so, but I do support them because they have their role in medicine, just like everything does. You just really have to be careful when you're looking at these websites because you get a lot of misinformation. I don't know how else to put it. You have med students who haven't mentioned into dermatology talking about how to mention the dermatology. Now, this is all they're just best possible guess, but you shouldn't take advice for someone who hasn't done that. But if there are some dermatology residents commenting on the medical student boards, that can be valuable information, but it's just a whole bunch of pre-meds and med students throwing back and forth and all this stuff, it's just not good. It's not good for your mind. It's not good for your body. It's not good for your future. The next reason you should stay away from some of these websites is because when you browse these websites, especially as a pre-med or med student, you end up comparing yourself to everybody. And the reality is people posting on these websites aren't just the average Joe a lot of the times. For some reason, everybody on Reddit and everybody on Student Doctor is, you know, AOA, step one of 280, step two of 280, have all the research, so the best possible applicants in the entire world. But in reality, that's just not the case for everybody. So you shouldn't be comparing yourself to them because that's the upper echelon of academia. And most people don't fall in that region. I found myself in this trap when I was in med school and I was studying for step one. I started looking at some of these websites and then I see like everybody's getting these bomb scores and I'm like, what the hell, man? Like I'm not getting anywhere close to this on my practice test. And then like it starts to freak you out. And then it just like makes you more anxious and worried about your exams and like worried how you're performing compared to the rest of the world and all this stuff. But reality is a lot of it may even just be fake. Like I could literally go on there and be like, oh, I'm like the best applicant in the world. This is me and people would take my advice. But really there's no documentation. It's not like I'm showing my board score or anything. It's just completely anonymous. So be careful, don't go on there. You're going to end up comparing yourself to others and it's just not good for you. The main thing is you need to focus on you, focus on yourself, focus on what you need to do and stop comparing yourself to others because only negativity can come from it. The next reason I think you should stay away from these websites is because people are like downright nasty on these websites. The pure hate they have for osteopathic students or DOs or nurse practitioners or physician assistants, it's so mean and so unnecessary and that kind of environment doesn't exist in the real world because of the people on these websites actually presented this way in real life, they would have no job because even if you don't like people, even if you think nurse practitioners are the worst things ever, for example, not saying they are, even if they think that, you can't say that in real life because you would be fired. So they hide behind these keyboards and post whatever they want about whoever and it's just completely negative, bad energy and it really gets us nowhere. I can't tell you how many negative things have been said about me on Reddit but I think it's funny personally, like some of my followers have sent me stuff and they're literally like, this guy has a punchable face or like I hate his haircut or something like that and I'm like, who says that about someone?   Like I don't care, I'm fricking in my 30s and I barely have any hair, what do you want from me?  My point of all this is people are just nasty on that website, to a lesser degree student doctor, more so Reddit, so like what's the point of even hanging around those kind of people? You wouldn't wanna hang around those people in real life so why would you wanna hang out with them on a website? There are better things to do with your time, like I don't know, study medicine. The next thing I wanted to mention is something that I already kind of touched on and it's a lot of misinformation, a lot of it is based on hearsay and not on facts, a lot of it is anecdotal. It's not a good idea to kind of get caught up in this misinformation fest. It's hard to verify certain things on these websites and how accurate they are and how accurate something is at something same so it's better to just ignore. I told but she does so good by the way. And now, since I have frequented these websites for many, many years now, I'll tell you my favorite things about them because there are in fact some good things about these websites. If you weep past all the negativity and you weep past all the misinformation and all that stuff, there actually is some good information on these websites. You just have to search for it and the way you do it and the way that these websites can be helpful is if you look up specific things. So for instance, when I was going back to school to do my pre-medical school prerequisite courses, I went to student doctor and the non-traditional section and learned everything I need to know about that specific thing, everything I need to know to get into med school, what I need to do, what classes I need to take and it was fantastic. That literally got me into med school. So for that specific instance, it was very valuable to me and I know I'm kind of like contradicting myself because I said there's a lot of misinformation out there but you just have to weed through it. I don't know how else to explain it because I am a fan of a form for all med students and like all like-minded medical people to be on but you have to kind of look through the trolls and the misinformation and it's hard but some things can be very helpful, specific things. Another specific topic is like a study technique. Say there's a specific study plan, someone posted for studying for a step one or something. It's pretty easy to tell if that's misinformation or not. Stuff like that could be very useful to you and helpful for your career and helpful for your studies. Another good thing about these websites is you can actually meet people on them. I've seen a ton of people post especially on student doctor talking about how they would like to have a study partner for a step one or step two or whatever and these are great places to meet that person and find a new study partner to help you study going forward. So for this reason, they aren't that bad. The next reason I love these websites and probably the reason why most of you all visit these websites is because they're funny. They have a lot of funny memes and funny stories and hilarious medical related things. It's just a good place if you wanna just sit back and laugh, read a few memes, watch a few funny videos and read about a few funny topics. So if you're bored and you wanna get laugh, this is the place to go but just be careful because there's a lot of negativity, there's a lot of misinformation but the memes are on point. So that officially concludes this video. Hope you all enjoyed it. I hope the Redditors don't come after me for this because I do love Reddit. I browse Reddit all the time but I'm not a poster and I don't like all the negativity and the misinformation out there. So comment below if you frequent these websites and what your favorite things are about them. Curious as to what you say or tell me your favorite subreddits and maybe I'll browse some of them too. This video means no hate. I love Reddit, love student doctor. Just be careful when browsing them. Thought it'd be a funny topic to talk about since I got that funny thing sent to me. So on the note, I'll see you all on the next video. Bye.

I looked inside and walked into my room and I could hear through the door, he went to Paris. What's up with him?  And he came and went, what's up? I went, I'm not interested mate. If you want to walk into what I took disagree into four warm up fights. I said if you want to have one big fight, like I'm not the man for this job, not interested. I don't care. A heilio hyn o'r hollig. I know I'm going to earn money, because I know I'm good at my job. And I think that for him was, okay, I thought this person was actually in it for the long run, and he gave me a bit of confidence in what I want. Or just yours and all? Yeah exactly. The initial going through the business side of things to get the deal for the comeback Yn y ddeg arno, fynd wedi bod yn osio'r grannu sgwer y brif. Roedd hi'n gweithio ddim yn ystod.

Roedd hi'n gweithio, but ydw i'n ddeg. A boedd i'n gwneud o'r bwysig... Roedd hi eu ond i'n ddim yn ddeg唉wch. I'll be alright, you're gonna be alright. Went back, sparred, time and everything like things that you'd think would be off time and distance. It was just playing around like everything was still down. I thought, interesting. And then as time went on, it's sparing more and more, but it was very up and down. And I think again a big part of my job, old head on young shoulders, people wouldn't expect that type of dynamic. That thing was, I sort of used to look at it as there the guidelines. If he goes above that, I know he's going to crash. If he goes below that, not good. If we can see him in between these two guidelines, quite balanced like we're doing well. So there have been moments where it's very easily influenced Tyson, very easily influenced like a big kid really at times. And you just wouldn't expect someone that big achieve what he's achieved, such a character to be so easily influenced. But if you went, literally I always say this, if he went, I could run through that wall, it would start off as a joke. But do you know if I went, I think you can, all of a sudden it'd be. I can! He would actually believe it, you know, but I used to purposely do things like, if I'm strong or this or that, messing about. And I'd go, you can't do 10 reps without weight. And he'd go, watch this then. And I'd get that extra step out of him. And then there was, I was so, I found, I thought it was so important to get away from home, get into warm weather. Get him in a good mode to get to Marbella. A part of me taking on this job was the agreement that we were going to go away to Marbella to get him away from everything. Just focus on getting some, crashing a bit of weight off early, giving him time to rest and recover from crashing the weight. Let his body get back to normal, then going to a warm up fight. And he was a bit against the going to Marbella because he's out of your comfort zone. He's got me thinking, I can do this from home. And I remember, while we was having this discussion, we were getting ready to go for a run. And the kids were screaming, I want to come, I want to come. I was thinking, this is why, you know. And we set out, but he lives along sort of the sea from. So we went out for a run, crashed the wind and the rain and everything from the sea crashing in. And the kids, ah, scooters broke, screaming, got a mile up the road. I was like, look, this is why I'm saying we need to get away. Just fully focus on yourself, doing what needs to be done rather than this will end up taking 12, 14, 18 weeks when we can get big results out of six weeks and then calming things back down. No, no, no. And then all of a sudden you turn around, I booked it. We're going tomorrow and I was like, tomorrow? Yeah, and we're driving. What are we driving for? He's saying this to me. Don't worry about it. This side of England will be the worst part of the journey. Once we get through to the other side, it'll be easy. I'm thinking, OK, get up in the morning, set off within two hours. Ah, let's just turn around. He's coming. You said to me, this bit of England. Yeah, you said to me that England's going to be the hard part. And then once we got through to the other end, sorry, we stopped off at a petrol station. And he sort of said to me, listen, I can only apologise. I'll just, you know, let's turn around. Is he getting scared? I don't know what it was. I think it was just a case of the drive was difficult. The journey was like the journey. Leaving his kids and family as we are. His message is he's rock. The kids were there. He had the little one screaming every time we phoned through from the car. So I was in a different car. It was a bit like the journey. He had already said this to me. England, the journey part of England to get down to the Euro tunnel was going to be the difficult part. The first stage of this comeback was going to be the difficult part. And we got to, I think we got a cross actually to France. And he was like, look, I can only apologise. I'll pay you whatever you want for your time that you've put in. He said, but look, let's just go. He actually said, let's just go to Disneyland for a couple of days and turn around. I was like, I didn't come in for this. We're going to stick it through. We're going to get there. Let's see how we feel in a moment. And Tyson's brother, Huey, I've got out the car face like a smack. And he was like, what's up with him? He was like, he's come to do what needs to be done. We knew that this was ahead of us. We need to get there and get to work. He was like, oh, see how we're feeling in the morning. Obviously woke up in the morning better mode, got going again. And I remember that as soon as the sun, this is my thing. Get him in the sun, good environment, healthy, clean. I think it's probably a lot cleaner to live cleaner in a warm weather scenario. And it'd been negative, negative, negative, negative. It was almost like the sun, poof, hit the car, fun for it. I can't wait to get there. I was like, this fella's off his trolley. But once we got over there, it was really good results. Day to day, he was always up and down. But I could say the key was to try and keep him in the guidelines. And then he had the two combat fights. Who was at his first combat fight? Were you nervous?  Yeah, I think I sort of thought we knew what to sort of expect. Like it was more about the show event. He wasn't quite, if I'm being honest, mentally stable at that point. He was more about the event than the actual fight. Like the fight was never going to be competitive, you know? But people loved to criticise us.  And it just wasn't the case. It was a combat fight, almost a signal. You know, positive things are ahead. It's going to happen. How was it before Grant in the Ring? Yeah, one thing I say about Tyson is I think he probably feels more pressure fighting someone that he's just completely expected to beat than he does when he's fighting someone that people are like, hmm, I don't know if he can do this. That much barat gyps of blood because Billy Joel's the same. Yeah. The other levels tenfold that nobody thinks they've got those levels. And I feel as if they two are constantly proving people wrong. They're whole boxing career. I don't think, even though they get the respect of a lot of people, but I think they should get a lot more for actually what they've achieved. They're still being, I think, is it both fair enough? I don't know. They're both fair enough. They're both unbelievable for what they've achieved.  But you kind of see when it's the ones expected to beat, they kind of take the foot off the gas a bit.  They go through the levels and the training seems to go through the roof, which is a good thing, but when you are there, because it always seems like a showman in the changing room ties him before a fight, showing off in that. Was that any signs of that at the first fight, the comeback fight? Yeah, to a degree. The comeback fight was like everybody wanted their face on camera and the changing room was full up and it was a bit of a circus really, if I'm honest. How does that irritate you? Yeah, because I think, well, nobody else matters. I don't matter. Nobody matters other than the fighter. I've always believed this, like if you want to be the star, do the fighting. Do you know what I mean? Earn it. So it was a little bit of a, but then that was why I remember we said, look, you know, the next fight is a bit more of a, not a competitive fight when he's at his peak, but during the comeback lost a lot of weight, still had lost a lot of weight between the first fight and the next fight. You know, it was going to make it more of a competitive fight. Is that quartz? Who's that? It's against a guy called Peoneta. Peoneta, and then who was after that? Who's the guy? Gwelder. Gwelder. And then Tom Schwartz. Schwartz. Yeah, Schwartz. So you had Gwelder, so Gwelder was on the fford faint, not the fourth? No, so the agreement was four warm-up fights and then even going into the Peoneta fight, it was like talking to this, because Gwelder had come to the fight, it was talking to this Gwelder fight.  Why would Gwelder take that fight? He thought it's a name I've blown his feather away and got a good name on my record. That's what he thought. He tried to get me in quickly. I was looking for a note to say that you'd think it was a bit illiterate, and just coming back after three years, two warm-up fights, and then to fight one of the best knockout artists in the boxing game. He was no mug, do you know what I mean? But then what was your training when he took that fight? What were you thinking? Did you ever try and stop that? Yeah, I openly said, like, this is a step too early.  And he was adamant that he wants to do it, you know? This is what I want to do. And... Do you think that's the addiction habit as well? We're not... We spoke, and I'll try to constantly prove people wrong, but his self-belief that he can run through a wall, he probably would. Do you think that's what he needs, though? That the one that nobody thinks he could win because he's just came back to then make him progress and kick on and prove people wrong? Yeah, I don't know.  So in terms of boxing side of things, I thought you're making this closer to fighting needs to be a lot more if you just take your time and have another fight or to take more so time for your body to recover from the weight loss. But what I will say, in terms of overall, I think it's the best thing that could have happened to him. Not the actual fight and the performance, but the pressure and the, okay, I've got focus on what's ahead of me and the job that's coming up. I've got a goal rather than losing a bit of weight, got this fellow I can box and I can beat him, but there is no complete... I need to be 100% focused for this. Where he's going into the wildfire, I just think that that really helped his mind. He had a focus, had something he no need to do, it was a bit of pressure on him and made him mentally a lot more stable going into that fight. And then obviously what happened in the fight just turned him into a megastar. He should have won the fight, man. He should have won the fight. I think that's because he was in America. He was always wary of that. Always wary of that. And actually it's funny because we was arguing we won an English judge, we won an English judge, we won an English judge in there. One American, one English, one neutral. It was the English judge that scored it a draw. So it was a case. Do you see a lot of that in boxing? Two megastars fighting. Is there a lot of that kind of corruption with scored cards? It seems to be getting... How someone can score that one-sixteen, one-twins a wild? I just can't... I don't know how you can come to that. What will you find coming ties and getting put down in the last? I genuinely thought it was over. When a fighter goes down, they're going to get up. Usually something is moving. They are moving, whether it's their hands moving, their foot's moving. He was just still. It took him four seconds before. Boom, okay. I don't know whether he was out. I don't know if he was going okay. Take my time. One thing that was funny in the preparation for that he kept saying, and I'm so adamant about this, he kept on saying to us, to the aspiring partners, if I get put down, it's okay. I've been there before. I'll wait to the eight count, then I'll get up. I'm experienced. And if he hits me flush, I probably will go down. That reality, I think, was why he was able to get up. I think it was a case of he'd said it so many times, it was subconsciously in his mind, if I go down, I'll wait for the eight count, then I'll get up. And he'd said it so many times, I thought, he was probably subconsciously, okay, then the ref was counting in his face, in the case now I'll get up. Whereas if he hadn't been realistic with himself, he was confident but realistic, and that was the important part of, if I get it clean, a good chance I'll go over. What are you thinking then, though, if you're thinking he's won six, seven rounds in front, that he's cleared that eight rounds, and then he gets put in his ars in the last, what are you thinking? So at the time I thought to myself, there's people going, oh, you know, at the time it was that I got the tactics right, but there definitely was moments where he could have pressed the pace against Wilder, but my whole thing got into the fight, is I don't know what the fuel tank's got. I don't know what the fuel tank's got. We haven't had 12 elite rounds that he's fought, or we've not had four one-warp fights, picking it up, picking it up, picking it up, and I can go, right, this is what's in the tank. This is where we're at. I thought to myself, I don't know how he's going to do the round. So at times where he could have probably pushed the pace, I'm thinking, we need to be safe here, and gradually, because gasing out and standing in front of Wilder is not an ideal place to be at all. So for me it was a case of we need to be efficient, and control the pace, because I didn't know, being completely honest, I can sit here and go, yeah this, yeah that, but at the time I didn't know if he had 12 elite rounds in the tank after the weight loss and this kind of things. And I'd actually said to him in the corner, when you drop him down to your right, you need to step in, drive your shoulder into him and tie him up, not just dip, because there's a chance you get caught dipping and get caught down there. I said to him this a couple of rounds, and that was why he got clipped the first time as well, because he dipped down rather than close the distance, or dipped down and take half a step back, he didn't adjust distance, he just dipped down and got clipped up back of the head. And the same thing happened for the last knockdown, he dipped down, didn't smother or step back, just dipped thinking Wilder's going to punch six foot past, but by this point Wilder had anticipated he was going to drop down there, boom, boom, and caught him on the way down there. I was thinking at the point, why? I was thinking to myself, God, why? Why have you took us this far to then do this now, you know? And then the whole get up thing, I just feel like that was just meant to happen. It was like the whole story of, I got knocked down, I got back up again about his whole journey, and then it actually happened in a sport at the moment in the fight, and that moment will forever go beyond sport, because it's just a sign of, he didn't just sit there going, yeah, if you get knocked down, you've got to get back up, you've got to fight online, it actually happened. He said it and he did it. And for so many people I've got thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of messages of people saying, I took so much inspiration from that, that moment in boxing saved my son's life. Yeah, one million percent he did. I know for a fact he did. It's phenomenal man, and that's why he's so loved, but you've still got to get credit for the journey that you've went, because he could have probably quit numerous occasions when you were there in the night never of being back in a boxing ring again. How did you absorb that? Were you going in with a game plan? Then for, okay, we've got four matches. How were you thinking if he's eating and drinking, I don't know if he was drinking in, but were you going in the mental battle to keep pushing him? What was your plan? Were you just going in and winging it and seeing what you could do or the Java strategy? Yeah, I did have a strategy. It was a case of, right, if we go into intense straight away, I'm never going to do it. Mae Dana tried to make a comeback. From the training that I saw, I thought, you're training like you've got a fight around the corner, like three weeks out from a fight, but you're a million miles away, you're dropping a bit of weight. You don't need to do that, because you're going to think, well, it's tough to do that for 12 weeks of a training camp, so never mind doing it for six months to get a bit of weight off. My whole thing was he doesn't need to work that hard to get the weight off at first with how big he is. Then give him a little rest period once the weight comes off of him, get a bit of rest, let the body recover a little bit, then pick up the intensity for the first training camp, and then gradually, like I say, pick up the opponent and the levels of the opponents as we went on to see where he's at and gauge, you know, how his body's recovering. But, you know, he took that wild fight soon. What about the run?  Yeah, there was a run that we used to do in my bar called the Istan Mountain, and I thought to myself, he was on a ketogenic diet at this point, and I thought to myself, we don't need to run up it. Again, intensity hasn't got to be mad at me, like the boxers do that for their fight camp. I was thinking, let's just take a walk up it, one of the fellas can drive in the car, walk up, drive back down, good work out, but not too intense. So he got out of the car, stretching, I'm thinking, wherever this lunatic doing, a little loosing himself up, boom, starts jogging. I thought, it's going to last five minutes here, and then we're going to start walking. Anyway, it keeps going, five minutes later I'm thinking, it won't be too much longer, it keeps going, won't be too much longer, it keeps going. The whole way up, then starts sprinting halfway through. I'm thinking this fella's off, he's trolling at it, got a few young lads round him as well. He's pushing them on, til I was like, right, we're at the top now, once we was there. And he went, is this where everyone stops you? I went, yeah, he went, the gypsy king don't stop here, then he went, we're going all the way up to the top. So he just had to do that a little bit more than everybody else, and I thought, there's something about him, not boxing ability, but there's something about him in there, and up there. That's what separates the weak from the strong.  It's a phenomenal achievement, and you were looking through that then, he fought it one effect, did that affect him? Because it seemed quite calm when it got called a draw. He was very calm. Why is that? Was he just happy to be back? Yeah, I think he fought, you know what? Everybody, everybody was like, he's getting blown away in three or four rounds. That is it. Even his dad was like, he's going to get blown away, shouldn't be taking the fight. I agree, he was diminishing the percentage chances. But I knew we ain't getting blown away. Don't get me wrong, if Wilder landed something early, it could have happened, because if it's anyone flush at any point in the fight, it can end. But I thought to myself, we need to land something substantial early to make Wilder go, you're not walking at me, because Tyson can punch, he can. And he landed something at the end of the first round, as if to say to him, if you're reckless, you'll get clipped yourself. And that we needed that. That was like, you better respect me and made a little bit hesitant, made him bite on the faint. So of course there was a game plan going into it. But I just feel like that was all meant to happen. The way the fight went, the knockdown in the end, the getting back up, the controversial decision, it all then led to the top rank ESPN deal. And that really took him to another level. Even though it was a draw, it took him to another level. Does that still ban you? It does, yeah it does. It's a 100%.  But again, I just feel like it was meant to be.


Here's a question. What do landlords actually do? They don't build houses. They don't ensure a supply of affordable homes by keeping rents low. And for the talk about the expense of maintaining properties, it's not like landlords are stomping up the cost from the pay packet of their supermarket job. It's their tenants' rent and deposit that's paying for all of it. Here's your new monthly payment. Let's face it, landlords are kind of bums. You want to buy properties in cheap areas. You want to rent them high and you want to have systems in place and property managers that can make it passive income so that you can have financial freedom. That's called property investing. That's equity. According to Shelter, 45% of private tenants in England are victims of illegal behaviour. One in four have had landlords enter their homes without permission. 22% of tenants reported essential safety or household appliances like smoke alarms and competing or even water broken when they moved in. And 9% have reported violent, threatening or harassing behaviour from their landlord or letting's agent. What about us? Okay, what about you?  But maybe you're not one of the bad landlords.  You fix everything on time.  Does that mean you're doing a good thing for society by being a landlord? Despite the last 17 years having seen the biggest squeeze on wages since the Napoleonic Wars, rents in the UK are at record highs. Meanwhile, if you want to own the home you live in, you'll need an income of at least £64,000 or £104,000 if you live in London in order to have a hope in hell of doing so. The average house price is between 8 and 14 times the average annual wage. But good luck saving up for a deposit while you're renting. Rents have doubled in the 10 years following the financial crisis and gobbles up an average of 49% of tenants' incomes in London. It's estimated that by-to-let landlords have locked 2.2 million households out of home ownership altogether. And according to Shelter, evictions from private tenancies are the single biggest cause of homelessness. One in 10 people who faced homelessness in 2018 to 2019 were kicked out because their landlord just wanted to sell, re-elect the property or avoid making repairs. We used to have a cheap supply of rental properties in this country. It was called Council Housing. In 1919, the Addison Act was passed placing on councils a duty to provide homes for the working classes. In the following 20 years, public housing accounted for 26% of all homes built in England and 67% in Scotland. After the war, governments plowed money into public housing and set ambitious goals for building. In 1954, councils built nearly 200,000 homes, a total not matched in a single year since. Not all of these homes were good. High-density tower blocks built outside of city centres weakened family and kinship ties of working-class communities. Meanwhile, poor construction of prefabs led to poor quality and sometimes even dangerous housing. But the simple fact is there was affordable housing, built by the public for the public. That all changed with Margaret Thatcher. The 1980 Housing Act introduced a double whammy of restrictions on council building and gave tenants the right to buy their council homes. This choked the supply of affordable housing and drove up the costs of rent. Nearly half of all council houses bought under right to buy became buy to let. So the house you could once rent for cheap off the council, you now pay many hundreds or even thousands of pounds to rent from a private landlord. The average buy to let landlord earns more than twice the average salary. The recipe is simple. Buy up the housing stock and hold it hostage because the choice for those without property is either to rent or simply go homeless. Then when your tenant is done paying off your mortgage, you can either just keep renting it out or you've got a lovely asset you can sell off for much more than you paid for it. It's a win-win for the landlord and a lose-lose for everyone else. So why doesn't anyone do anything about it? Just 2% of the UK population are landlords but about a fifth of MPs are private landlords. Which means that a few years ago we were treated to the site of 72 landlord MPs voting down a bill which would have legally required them to make homes fit for human habitation. Landlords have no obligation to their tenants to put or keep the property in a condition fit for habitation. In 2015 the Daily Mail even ran a competition where the prize on offer was a buy to let property. We live under a system where rent pays more than wages where you can be financially rewarded by being able to leverage the fact that you own stuff to extract money from those who don't. Don't talk to me about welfare recipients. The real scroungers are landlords. Living off of other people's work. It's time that we make landlordism obsolete. Get a real job. How is that?


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece except for today, because we have a few important announcements, the first of which being that this channel, after three years of solid One Piece rambling, has reached a truly absurd 100,000 subscribers. Now when I first set out on this YouTube voyage thing, I had no idea what to expect, but I said to myself that if some stage I had 1000 subscribers, then I'd be happy and it would be worthwhile. And while you phenomenal individuals have smashed that goal 100 times I really can't thank you all enough and I am exceptionally proud to have you all as members of our Grand Fleet. Going forward, I really don't know what to expect as I have no idea how high the mountain of pure One Piece content can be pursued, but I would be honored to have you all by my side as we continue to make waves on this platform. Now speaking of, we've got some business to deal with here. As many of you are no doubt aware that I recently received a copyright strike on one of my favorite videos that I've ever created, which was the analysis of the Luffy vs Kata Curry fight. And today, along with this moment to subscribe a milestone, I am thrilled to announce that we have won this battle. After submitting a counterclaim on the strike, YouTube have reinstated the video and removed the strike from the channel, meaning that we are no longer in danger of being instantly shut down based on the whims of whoever chooses to issue a strike for whatever reason. And once again, I really have to thank all of you despite this big numbery thing over here. I had really no idea just how many people were willing and able to show their support for this channel through whatever means they were capable of. So I'd very much like to thank anyone who in response to our crisis pressed that subscribe button, followed me on Twitter, became a patron, or joined the discord server. It really has been an overwhelming past couple of days full of profound hope and despair. And I'm sure that the future will hold many more tests like this, but our grand fleet will be far too strong to falter at any event. So let's look towards the future now. And the first big announcement for this channel going forward is that I will, finally, be going to see One Piece Stampede very, very soon. Which I am incredibly hyped for, so expect a spoiler and non-spoiler review. Appearing on this channel within the next week or so. Also, fun fact, my wife will also be seeing it, so if you're a fan of her ramblings, I'll be trying to get her to record a review as well, which would be a little bit interesting. Because from everything I've seen so far, I don't think that Stampede is going to be particularly friendly to those who aren't bowls deeper than the One Piece world. So yeah, we'll see how that works out. But moving on, next up I'd like to let you guys in on a bit of a channel shake-up that has recently begun. Basically, here's the plan. I want to diversify what I'm doing a bit more, because even after doing this non-stop for three years, there is still a ridiculous amount of One Piece stuff that I haven't spoken about and doesn't really fit into my established series. An example of this would be the recent discussion I did about how good a villain Dolph Lamingo was, so I'm really looking to create more opinion or analysis-based stuff. However, the channels established series like One Piece 101 and The Devil Fruit Encyclopedia will still be continuing, of course. They just may or may not be as regular as they once were. But on the flip side, if you have a topic that you'd like me to discuss that doesn't really fit into those established formats, then please do let me know in the comments. And moving on, let's talk about New World Review, which if you're unaware is my second channel that has been up for a few months now and it focuses on, well, everything that isn't One Piece. It's gotten a bit slower of late, but it is set to become much more consistent with regular Hunter Hunter content, as well as finishing up the Death Note 101 series. But in the near near future, I am also looking to begin two new series, one of which being a full Metal Alchemist 101 series, which is something I've really wanted to do for a while now, as well as something a bit more niche by delving into the world of Duncan Romper. I'm kind of worried about this second one because it's not wildly mainstream in any way. It's also primarily a game series, but it's a property that I've been quite passionate about for ages. So if you are a Duncan Romper or a full Metal Alchemist fan, then please do hit me up on New World Review, the link to which will be in the description below. And I believe that by the time this comes out, one of these videos will be up. And that's about it for this channel update. Once again, I would like to thank each and every member of the Grand Fleet for the unwavering support shown during the copyright situation, and I look forward to bringing you all relentless one piece content going forward. But if you enjoyed this video and the content this channel produced in general, then please do consider donating to the Grand Line Review Patreon, because the support of all of your amazing people is what continues to make this channel possible. And like I said before, please do check out my second channel, New World Review, for all of your wider needs. And if you'd like to join the fun at any time, then please do head over to my Discord server, where a wide array of shenanigans takes place on a daily basis. And finally, please do comment with, I dunno, something. This has been the Grand Line Review, and I'll see you next time.


There are nearly a million salmonella and campylobacter infections in children 10 and younger each year in the United States. Some of these infections are severe, causing meningitis and death and requiring treatment with antibiotics. The problem is that there's an increasing problem of antibiotic resistance among these bugs that threatens our ability to treat them. Part of the problem is that these same life-saving miracle drug antibiotics are being squandered for use in food animals for things like growth promotion in such unhygienic crowded conditions, which increases the likelihood that pathogens like salmonella or a campylobacter will become resistant. And I've done a bunch of videos on that, but there's another problem. The resistance determinants, the genes that encode antibiotic resistance, may be transmitted from food animals to humans through the food supply. Most resistant bacteria have mobile genetic elements, like these little circles of DNA called plasmids, that carry the resistance genes that they can then pass on to other bacteria, including those in our own gut. Food animals are therefore a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes and a potential vector for transmission of antibiotic resistance genes to the human intestinal microbiome. In this study, a transfer of an antibiotic resistant plasmid from an E. coli originating from a chicken raised for meat to human gut bugs was assessed by using a model that mimics the human intestines. And it happened within two hours. This spread of antibiotic resistance genes presents an alarming scenario. A growing concern that antibiotic resistant bacteria present on food can transfer their resistance genes to the inherent gut microbiome of the consumer, but you don't know until you put it to the test. Assessing antibiotic resistant gene loads in vegan versus vegetarian versus omnivore gut bacteria. You'd think the results might be obvious, but antibiotic resistance genes are spread due to manure application on agricultural fields of fruits and vegetables. Yes, massive antibiotic use in animal farming is considered as the greatest contributor to the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in food of animal origin, meats, eggs, and dairy. Nevertheless, sewage from treated animals may impact on vegetables grown on fertilized fields, but it was largely unknown whether and to what extent antibiotic resistant bacteria are being transferred to vegetables and then to the human gut. Until now, researchers looked for antibiotic resistance genes against sulfa drugs like Bactrum, tetracycline, penicillins, encephalosporins, and streptomycin type antibiotics, and both omnivores and vegetarians showed a significantly higher antibiotic resistance gene load in their guts as compared with vegans. There wasn't a significant difference between omnivores and vegetarians, but significantly lower loads in vegans compared to omnivores and vegans compared to vegetarians. The first evidence that a vegan lifestyle is associated with a reduced load of human gut antibiotic resistant genes, but not the last.  No surprise, since they found a correlation between tetracycline resistance genes in the intake of eggs, milk, and cheese. I like how there are so many types of milk these days they have to specify milk from animal sores. And a higher incidence of vancomycin resistance genes was found in consumers of eggs, poultry, fish, and seafood, and vancomycin is one of our antibiotics of last resort used to treat serious life-threatening strep and staph infections like MRSA, MRSA. Despite the links to Darien eggs, just cutting out meat has indeed been shown to offer an advantage in some studies as bacteria obtained from meat-eater poop samples showed resistance to a greater number of antibiotics and carried more tested antibiotic resistance genes compared to the vegan or vegetarian poop.


This one oversight could be costing you access to innovative solutions that might change your life. Imagine a world where managing cancer goes beyond traditional treatments. Let's dispel the myth that conventional methods are the only way to address this complex disease. Today, we're exploring groundbreaking alternatives that could make a real difference. Armed with the latest scientific research and cutting-edge technology, we're here to guide you through some unique supplements and frequency therapies that offer hope and new possibilities in cancer care. Let's delve into a few supplements that have shown potential benefits for cancer patients. 1. Artemisinin, known for its antimalarial properties, has shown promise in targeting and destroying specific cancer cells, marking its potential as an adjunct in cancer therapy. 2. Sodium bicarbonate. This is being researched for its ability to modify tumor pH levels, which could play a role in impeding tumor growth. 3. El limonine. A natural compound in citrus peels, it is recognized for its anti-cancer capabilities, particularly in inducing the death of certain cancer cell types. 4. Diterpenoid epoxide tryptolide. Extracted from the thunder god vine, tryptolide is demonstrating significant anti-tumor activities in laboratory studies. Its effectiveness, particularly against pancreatic and various other cancers, is establishing it as a notable compound in the field of oncology research. 5. Kinone triterpene, also derived from the thunder god vine, this is emerging as a compelling compound in cancer research. Its potential anti-cancer properties are drawing considerable interest, indicating a promising future in the development of cancer treatments. Now, envision a scenario where the effects of these supplements are harnessed without the need for digestion. Intensive care frequencies offer an innovative approach, emulating supplement benefits through sound and magnetic energy directly targeting cells. Sound therapy and PEMF, pulsed electromagnetic field. Therapy are based on the concept of using specific frequencies to support healing. Research in these fields shows potential in enhancing the quality of light for cancer patients and supporting traditional treatment methods. Using these therapies is simple and efficient, listen to the frequencies or use them with cheek oils. They offer a cost-effective alternative to some conventional treatments with unlimited use, no refills, and the ability to share with family. Plus, they're safe, non-invasive, and contactless. Remember, while these innovative approaches offer new avenues in cancer care, they should complement not replace conventional medical treatments.

Belser she had mentioned you know got this grant it's a two-year grant we're into the last year now so I have some pretty far into it and pretty well along I have quite a lot of what I had set out to do figured out I've also put a lot that I had to change gears on so there's I'm going to talk a lot about challenges and things like that you know basic processing challenges you know supply challenges all there's there's so much that we set out to do so I'm going to try and cover as much as I can in this hour so I would encourage you if you have any specific questions to seeking out after this workshop later in the weekend I'll be here all weekend I could talk for days about this so I can't do that so the background I went to school for I got a bachelor's in science in integrated equal social design got out of that and started farming I really love it still do it and grow still growing at it and eventually just kind of was thinking you know maybe I should try and leverage some funding and do some research with my off of that degree and I decided to seek out Sarah I'd highly recommend it it's a very great program for somebody who especially if you have a you know mattress and science background there's a lot of the research end of things that is really kind of exciting and exhilarating so I want to start off with everybody can you guys see this at all is it kind of like okay I'm going to start off with tada nuts in a package completely sorted from shell those are hickory nuts so I just want to start off we are we we've we've done it it's it works we've figured out mechanic mechanized ways to completely process hickory nuts and get them completely out of the shell and separated from shells so I wanted to start off with that so it sounds like this doesn't even work we have gotten this done so I want to start off too with just posing the question is scale relative like when we talk about farm scale nut processing this is probably going to be it's kind of vague I guess is the best way to put it you know for some of us we might think you know a couple acres or who here grows nuts who grows 10 acres of nuts okay so I don't need to keep more than 10 acres 20 acres so we got okay so after 10 acres I saw like three hands go down I personally believe farm scale would be like a hundred let me just make that statement first it's not saying that it needs to be monoculture if this is that to justify costs of machines this even a tractor need at least 10 acres in production so for what I'm going to like propose here farm scale is the scale that justifies the cost why even get into it if you're not going to make any money at it and you're just you know it's like a hobby at that point which is fine but you don't need to buy 30 30 thousand 40 thousand dollars worth of machines for a hobby so that's the statement I want to make first and foremost so you know it's great if you grow smaller amounts it's great I will talk about models that will kind of get there's there's ways for people to get into this without having to grow a lot I guess co-op models other things of that nature but for the scale that we kind of the research to it's of a scale that would justify the cost of machines so what nuts did we look at who can identify these nuts which ones the chestnut which ones the black walnut what about the hazelnut what about well the last one is the hickory nut so great that's great de-hauling so we focused on mainly post harvest so post field processing like what after you get it from the field I can talk about that if you guys want me to but I'm going to put this is like a lot more just with the processing itself I want to really just be able to give you a solid run through on that if you have questions about harvest just ask at the end or sometime outside of this workshop the de-hauling when you get it from the field you know you have to get the hauls off like you saw in this photo hauls husks burrs whatever they're referred to as some of these are what they call free dehesant which means that it falls free of its hole or husk or burr whatever chestnuts hickories are in that category the black walnuts and hazelnuts the hazelnuts are somewhat free to us in my opinion but they don't they don't typically fall out of their holes depending on what variety and stuff like that and then the black walnuts of course do not they have a really mushy stain the kind of hole around them so we uh you can't see it at all but in this photo right there at the top we um we invested in a de-hauler that was manufactured by a guy from the NNGA he'd been at it for a long time uh it's basically just a giant cage around the car tire and it's driven by a motor so you just feed that and what we thought was um we're trying to adapt machinery to do all these nuts so say you grow you know 10 acres of black walnuts 10 acres of hickories and uh or no let me let me back up five acres of you know each crop so you like you can justify the machinery then but you don't have to grow monoculture right so we're trying to look at machines that can uh be easily adapted to uh basically process all the nuts that we set out to research so um we made a lot of alterations to this machine after it came in uh you can kind of see on the right hand side uh we added like a pto shaft so you could uh and there's a three-point hitch on it uh and then a motor on the other side so you could either plug it in in a facility and run it in line or you could just slap it on the back of the tractor take it out to the field and de-haul in the field whichever you prefer um on the right hand side you can also see uh we we bagged it for the hickories we're we're we're needing to like weld smaller like it's a rebar cage and it's got issues with the nuts that's basically falling through depending on the the hickories you bring in are really small they'll fall through the cage so we need to make some alterations on that side um this machine is really only used we found for uh the black walnuts and hickories it doesn't really uh the chestnuts um need very little uh and if they do it needs uh a lot gent more gentle of a touch uh otherwise you just pulverize the nut um chestnuts are kind of an anomaly in the net world because unlike the other nuts that are high in oil content the chestnuts are high in water content and their shell is very um you know it's it's just like it's just a skin really rather than a skin shell it's not hard it's very soft and uh yeah so we had uh we we had great success with the black walnuts and hickories on this so um after that um there's another great photo of the hauling so in this setting like you know if you had it in the field you could basically have it um you know on the back of a manure spreader or something like that or uh some kind of cage but this way I'm de-hauling and it's going right into my tank and all the debris and all the halls it's going right into the bed of my track so kind of played around with that so floating uh is what we did next uh not all nuts need this but um there's a lot of uh in our area at least since we don't get cold as cold as winters actually I'm really excited about next year's harvest as long as we get a good amount of rain because uh the weevils are really bad in our area and uh if we get hard enough frost it's not a big issue up north it's probably not as much of an issue but uh the weevil damage I lost 75 percent of my crop one year because of weevils so that was a really bad year um so floating uh is something we do to kind of mitigate that it also uh sorts out what we call pops or bad nuts un-matured uh nuts things of that nature uh bad nuts will float typically um they'll uh uh weevil if they have weevils in it they'll you know have they'll float as well uh we um we float in uh tanks at 120 120 degrees for 20 minutes to kill the weevil larva that may still be in the nut too so if if I bring in crop especially the hickories and black walnuts uh the larva can still be in the nut and have it has not hatched yet um so you can save some of that crop that might then potentially be a loss by simply just heating the tanks and so we're basically doing two processes at once in this uh in this model so um floating uh again you know with hazelnuts I'm going to say this right off that hazelnuts are a complete anomaly for these few couple processes because usually they get dried in their husk I don't know we should ask Mark a little bit about that but dry in the husk and then uh you know with the other nuts we usually deburr we'll do the floating and then dry if you don't float fast enough and it dries all your nuts will float so this is almost right immediately de-haul float and then they go into dry but hazelnuts you don't really do a floating like this um some people will sterilize in tanks um but it's usually just for other reasons to clean or uh you know the obsession with uh sterilized food products stuff like that so we actually float dry those husks down right husk the hazelnuts immediately float them right okay so yeah that was the one thing I was kind of running into at the hazelnuts is if I can husk them immediately then it's great because you can float them this I really like floating it's like my favorite part about any of the part it is one of the simplest um but uh it just saves you so much headache down the line because the worst thing to do is sell nuts and then you have like a weevil larva it looks like a maggot so it's not all that appetizing so it's the most the best thing to get out in the in the immediate uh is those weevils if you can deal with them right off the bat so uh drying yeah that's true so I just do heat but some people do like chlorine or they'll um bleach bath stuff like that which I don't touch any of that so drying is the next thing and this was probably the um most frustrating part of the uh of the entire uh grant was uh trying to master the art of drying and curing nuts uh I lost a lot of crop on the first year it was before say or even but uh uh they are extremely fidgety because they um and I'll talk about chest separately so right now we're just talking about the oil high oil content nuts you're trying to get them below like 15% moisture if I remember correctly so that they'll keep uh nuts will keep in shell for years without perishing uh they'll keep for even longer in a refrigerator in shell and even longer in a freezer in shell as soon as you crack them out of course they're really high in oil content so they'll start start to perish but um if you don't dry them they'll just immediately rot so uh what we have with our drying is two things we're trying to do is uh airflow so a lot of people just put their their nuts on racks Paul did you like do uh screens right onion bags yeah is but the thing I found with onion bags is they can still mold in the onion bags so airflow is like key this is number one you can do the whole crop with just airflow so what we ran into is we uh you can do the airflow for a couple weeks uh having to spread out on screens we can tweak it a little bit and then you can store them in onion bags afterwards so it's still getting a little bit of residual airflow but we scaled up this year this is my little uh jet engine this thing uh it's a grain dryer and uh we started playing around with that this year and uh what we ended up doing is we have these giant tote bags with uh hop bottoms a little chute so we can just attach uh this dryer to each bag that we fill and so the where the where the nut is stored it can also be dried essentially so it's a really great system that we kind of we just put a false bottom so that the nuts don't fall through the hopper bottom there's a small like piece of hardware cloth on the bottom and then uh you can attach this we have a little 90 degree angle uh docked on that that attaches to the bag and little stands for the bags you know so that this can go underneath and uh basically you can dry with heat too and they make heats uh heat attachments for this you can basically dry in a day what you would be taking months to dry so as far scaling up we see this as like this was one of the things that was really breaking us was we couldn't scale up because we could only batch dry and the what we could batch dry we couldn't dry fast enough to then get to the next batch before it rotted essentially so in this scenario you can you can dry quickly in probably thousands of pounds of crop before it would any of it would rot so the chestnuts of course again they're like 50 water they would work in this but what happens with chestnuts and this is one of the things we ran into with a lot of growers and when we would talk to them is that there's more incentive to sell chestnuts fresh because what you have by the pound you know when it's 50 percent moisture what they say is about 2.25 uh if you had 2.25 pounds wet that would be one pound dry so you need to you need to double your price for what you're selling dry and then if you think about peeling the chestnut cleaning it packaging it at that point we're probably talking about something that costs close to $30 or you know I've I've seen some at lower and we'll talk about some machinery we can try and keep costs lower but really that's what we run into so drying we drew we did do some drying but what we're trying to play with is hitting uh getting them peeled at the highest moisture content we can because really all we're trying to catch is selling everything out of shell because there's more appeal to a customer they can buy it eat it right away stuff like that I grew up cracking nuts you know you know they was fun for the kids but a lot of other people like don't like doing that so that was the main goal so we're trying to uh figure that one out I'll talk a little bit about that later though but uh sizing in shell would be the next one this is a really great I love this machine it's uh you've ever been to like a kids uh playground and they have like a giant plastic tube that the kids run through and slide down or whatever this is uh up at um empire chestnut company in carleton Ohio it's in their facility this is what they size the nuts in they just drilled holes in it and attached the belt to it and it rotates and set a slight angle it's called the angle of repose it's just the angle at which a product will slide and they just go through and they have all these holes in the bottom in the or hoppers at the bottoms that the nuts will just fall into as they go down to shoot so that's one option I've also seen um uh shoots uh rebar shoots that will just fan out the rebar will just widen as they uh go down the chute and uh they'll have a series of hoppers underneath that that works out really well too um that's what I did it's a very low cost method and it's non mechanized so um there is a couple options for that the reason why you size in shell I found is that it's easier it offers a few complications though with processing but it's easier to then crack and do all the subsequent processes if you do batches with the size of uh nut that you you know if you have your nut size uh pre-cracking and everything you will you will uh you will mitigate a lot more of loss in uh shell being mixed in stuff like that um it also you can catch like say you have a very large crop very large nut uh you have a larger amount of larger nut crop you have uh you know say a thousand pounds of you know golf ball size take green nuts um you can recover a lot more sizable nut pieces from that by doing this uh which has a higher value on the market um kernels of a larger size typically sell for a higher price so um sizing this cracking the whole thing uh it does it does well for uh um catching that value the cracking the cracker I use is uh it's a I've played with a lot of crackers there's a lot of junk out there uh I didn't buy in the moha bee have you heard of that one it is awesome it is great and there's three models he makes he just retired two years ago but he passed off the operation to uh his son-in-law who still makes the machines as far as I know they're online as of I don't remember when but uh they they're not really tech savvy so you want to take my card and try and get and reach with them I do have their number uh but there's times when I've gotten on and the site's down or none of the stuff comes up it's uh they they could sell a lot of crackers if they could just mohabe mohabe it's the first letters of his his name his wife's name and his last name uh and there's the mohabe one two and three so they make different scales there's like countertop there's a little bit bigger and then there's the commercial one which uh um I ended up getting it's it's a really simple cracker that's what I like about it the only thing I'd say is uh the pin on it has grooves so that like you can adjust the plate against that pin it's uh and then the pin kind of squeezes it into that against that plate and cracks the nut I wish that I could get different sized pins or with uh different sized grooves pins with different sized grooves but it's something that I've been meaning to call them about and get manufactured and uh it would be a very simple adaption for like different nuts like you know I'd like to have a different sized pin but um it works on all of them works great on hairless uh and uh I was doing um over oh yeah over 10 I was doing a lot a lot with hickories and black walnuts though it was a lot less because um hickories and black walnuts are what they're they call them uh ribbed so you have like a lot of nut meat and shell uh intertwined uh so to completely separate the nut meat from shell you almost pulverize the nut you're just uh cracking it down to kernels and everything just trying to get everything separated so that because if it's not separate it's lost it's attached to shell that nut meat is not usable you know I can't sell it if it's got shell in it so um there's some uh operations we played with afterwards that might shake it loose but we found that it's just easier to crack it down to the point where uh it's completely separate from shell and um what happens in that though is you get a lot of mill loss is what they call it and it's they call it mill loss because it's this powder that uh is a result from you know pulverizing the nut and I'll talk a little bit about um uh what we're looking at for value-added uh incomes on uh stuff like that but right now we're losing a lot of that we're losing about 25 of the crop to mill loss uh for the black walnuts and hickories um here's nuts that worked really well uh chestnuts we have uh you don't actually crack chestnuts you peel them because again I was saying that the shell is very thin um there's some issues with uh that like I talked about the moisture content um we uh actually I'm gonna say I'm gonna save that one for another slide but yeah we're we're we're working with a student group to try and design a peeler that can peel at a higher moisture content sizing they would know that machine is everybody can tell what that is anybody use seed cleaners on their farm there's is it horizon or uh company in Ohio that makes those seed cleaners yeah I know you know but I I can't remember the name I was trying to remember it this morning but there's they make great uh seed cleaners there's a manufacturer of them in Ohio they come in different sizes you can get one that's just like about the size of this table up to I think this is the largest they go um in all they do is there are a series of trays that vibrate and have screens on them of different sizes so like you know product will fall through each screen if it's really small um or uh we'll we'll pass over and be sorted into a different shoot there is an aspirator on this which is really nice too but essentially there um we were using it post cracking to size our product so we can again I can catch uh shell uh shell and nut meat of a larger size and separate the shell from that and sell it as a larger kernel higher return at the market there so um and then also again separating out that mill loss uh getting my different sizes uh in that and then you know uh his nuts was kind of it was a mute point there was only a few uh the cracker was so efficient at you know I had so little loss in the cracking or damaged nuts in the cracking that really it was great I did it anyways and it did get a little bit of the shell out too but um uh just kind of like you know just really for the black walnuts and hickory is you absolutely have to do this so um other things that you can use for sizing they do make actual uh sizers they're they a lot of them are like the the uh playground shoot thing that I showed you uh they do that um and one thing I don't like about those is especially for black walnut and hickory is you have to continuously the you know the the shell is really jagged like you know rigid and gets stuck in all those holes so it's nice about this is you can just go up to the machine there's hammers on the machine that will actually tap the tray so it doesn't get stuck as much and then you can also just go up to the machine and clean out those screens really easily so I always just thought about this probably being the best option for black walnuts and hickory is but there's other options if you're getting into other nuts um and different scales and those machines as well all right so separating this is the this is the big one and um I can admit it's been more than a headache for me but uh there's a few options uh for each nut um aspirators work really great for hazelnuts and uh chestnuts I've experimented with air legs which are essentially kind of like aspirators essentially aspirators air legs and cyclones fall into a group of like you know you're just applying air to the product trying to blow away a certain amount of product or a certain size product or a certain density of product and then catch another one down line so those three some some people use them all in line so they'll run them through an air leg aspirator cyclone I think is the order um to uh you know separate certain uh size of product and again so sizing before you go to separating is really important for that purpose because if we're talking about like size the machine operating off of relative density or something like that having all the same size product going in will increase your efficiency of the machine as far as separating the shell from nut meat so you know if you have shell and nut meat of all the same size going in the machine you'll hire will be more likely to have just nut meat in one output and just shell in another uh again those work really well for the hazelnuts and chestnuts uh they also work really well for the black walnuts it's a little tricky uh I had to like there's um heartland nuts in Nebraska uh they run their black walnuts through uh it's a rerun aspirator I think is what it's called from uh do you have the rerun aspirator too homemade one yeah the raspberries are really easy to make uh the rerun aspirator runs off a shop back or at least that's the way it's designed you can add a blower to it um but uh it's sold that southern nut and tree um is the company there uh that sells those machines they also have a lot of other machines that highly recommend uh but they um they have to pull the damper on that all the way down to even get so the throughput on that machine for black for uh for black walnuts is pretty ridiculous it takes a long time to run the product um for hickories we found this machine to be extremely extremely uh efficient it um it's a it runs on batches which kind of stinks but uh it can do about um uh 50 pounds at a time it only takes about five minutes to run what it is is basically a giant vat of water I don't really have a great photo unfortunately but it's a giant vat of water that arm with the crank on it swings over and uh tightens down uh this plate tightens down on the top all your products in there in this water bath and uh so it's shell and nut meat all in there and you close that down and you put it under vacuum for five minutes and uh so under pressure for five minutes and what happens is um the shell absorbs water more readily so it's got to be timed perfectly all this and you know it it they'll sink you open back up and to skim off your nut meat so uh we got it down our whole goal with any separation for this research was if we can get it below five percent shell we're doing something right because you know if you really everybody handsorts at the end I wish it I wish it wasn't true but we all we all pretty much hand sort at the end uh but uh even people that use optical sorters but um uh if we can decrease the amount that we have to that's a huge overhead for any person who's processing so this got it below I was going around two percent on some batches if I got timing down real well um but uh so that was for hickories uh other uh machines we tried out were gravity tables anybody know what a gravity table is extremely fidgety machine I'll say that in the instruction manual for the gravity table we tried said something like do not attempt to uh run this machine without uh a degree in blah blah blah blah blah gives prone to giving severe headaches like all this it was a big headache and we didn't get any results from it but they used gravity tables for like almonds a lot uh usually just for holes you know that separates on relative density so it works on the same principle I guess as an aspirator but basically we found that it would have to be such a different relative density to actually get it to work but the benefit of it is that it's a you can continuously run product on it and all it is is essentially a table that vibrates it has different shoots on it and what happens is you can adjust the angle and basically the and it has it it's like you got a blower on the bottom sometimes too you can damper that though but it will just essentially just kind of yeah it's like air hockey great example it's like air hockey um but again we didn't get any really great results with that so um I think that covers everything with separating let me just yeah okay hand sorting uh a lot of um this is again uh chestnut empire or uh the empire chestnut company uh again they everybody handswords pretty much it's not something you can get around uh it's something you got to be really diligent about of course because you know somebody buys a product from you they butt into it and break the tooth that's a lot of viability involved so uh you know hand sortings usually there's inspection tables this one's on a conveyor and you can adjust the speed and there's a really bright light that shines down and people just sit there as it goes by and pick out any shell fragments they see or any you know weevils or whatever um what uh what I'd say about that though uh uh if if I had the money and if they made an appropriately scaled do we have any engineers in this room anybody with like a mechanical engineering degree or something like that optical sorters if anybody wants to make a whole lot of money and do the world a really great good make a optical sorter that doesn't uh cost a hundred thousand dollars and uh would be small scale uh would be appropriate for this like they use them on everything rice uh all the major industry is doing any kind of sorting they use it for hardware uh I'm talking about like nuts and bolts they use it for recycling these things have um optical cameras at various points in a in a line or a shoot and a little air gun and a computer program that will read off uh so they sort by three things uh size color well I shouldn't say all of them sort by that but they have the potential to sort by size color and um shape so I can type in sort jagged things out or something and it will basically so like nut meat you know it's smooth shell jagged little uh they will read that with the cameras relay that to a uh uh an air uh mechanism that puffs air further down the chute and it will literally just like hone in on it and shoot it out so you can rerun all your product too because you do get a little bit of loss in that so it blows out whatever product with it but you can continuously rerun and catch uh that product so that's that's the future of sorting basically unfortunately and this is so important I just want to read the tidbit about code the USDA standard for confectionary grade nut meats right shell particles for 400 pounds so imagine so imagine yeah one it's uh one particle or uh one shell particle per 400 pounds is the USDA standard I remember reading that and being like oh my god so uh you know and I've I've bought from farmers that aren't getting that I didn't say that much I've had plenty of product come in when I was kind of testing this out uh that I've I've learned to chew carefully uh so um there the the optical sort is really that's the major thing for us right now is if if we don't the cheapest one I could find was like maybe 40 grand uh but they um they were skeptical whether or not they're like you have to have a computer program for every product so that you run through it so I would have had to buy the machine it was designed for beans so I'd have to have them also pay their technician to come and set it up because these things are like like extremely involved they have specific they fly technicians in to set up the machine there's a computer software that you have to learn uh so they'd have to design a computer software for me to do each nut so if you can if any of you again if you can simplify this machine get it under the lower cost that I think is going to be what uh breaks this wide open essentially uh I hate hand sorting machinery development so that kind of ties into this machinery development uh slide we have a student group that we hit a wall with the chestnuts like I said with the peeling so we're trying to and I had designed one was doing so much other machinery development kind of just had chestnuts on the back burner they finally approached me and wanted to build it so this year we're we're going to be testing trying to peel chestnuts at like they come in at 50 percent moisture content where our goal is to be able to peel at 30 but usually you have to dry it down to about 15 percent so if we can again like what they do in France and some other places they apply steam to peel their chestnuts we're trying to just do it with a low cost high speed blower and an anvil at one end and shatter than not essentially so we'd end up with pieces in theory rather than whole chestnuts but um still if we're catching more of that moisture content we're not losing our weight and uh you know having to double our price so um uh and it's again the peelers they have these days in in France the way they do it it's a it's way too much involved heat steam all that it's machines I think started out at like 30 grand and you couldn't probably build one for cheaper just with how many mechanisms were involved with trying to get that off the chestnuts have so they have their shell the thin skin and then a thin skin underneath that a little brown skin it's extremely bitter it doesn't taste good so you have to kind of get both off so and that's what happens when they dry is you know since they're 50 percent moisture they kind of like shrink away and this happens with all of us they shrink away from their shell and kind of like rattle in their shell and it makes it easier to crack and separate that way but uh with the brown skin on that it shrinks and that's that's really key for the chestnut to get that brown skin off because it shrinks and that brown skin will um basically flake off you peel one fresh you're there kind of just picking it away so you do have to dry it a bit but hopefully not too much again so you can catch that uh that weight and not have to double the price um other machinery development talked about the optical sorter uh the hauler is one that we're really trying to develop more I want to I want a hauler that can do every nut with easily just you can husk hazelnuts that will debur chestnuts if I need to uh dehaul black walnuts and dehaul uh hickory nuts uh that would be my dream right now we're just having some issues with the chestnuts um and actually I'm gonna be multi like really for me a machine if it serves one purpose I like I want a machine to serve multitudes of purposes like I need a machine to do more than just one thing if I am going to justify buying it and uh so what we're finding is we can use um the air leg or this machine actually to de-husk uh the hazelnuts um and you know there's just always that thought in the back of our minds is you know okay we found out it does this okay let's what else can it do and just start playing around so I'm always in the machinery development just kind of looking at what uh else machines that I already own or would like to own can do besides what it's advertised for or stuff like that so 50 perfect all right so value added products this is pressing oil from my mill loss this is like the biggest epiphany I had you can press oil from your mill loss and it makes a great oil black walnut and hickory nut oil it's a high heat very earthy flavor delicious um and as it turns out the beer brewing industry um prefer that you have with they're going to use nuts for beer brewing they prefer to have the oil pressed out of it a lot of them are roasting the what they're doing is they're burning off the oil before they put it into beers so if I can press oil sell the oil and from all all this from my mill loss somehow I would never have even been able to sell except for probably feed which we'll talk about but uh I can press the oil from that sell the oil and then sell the cake too so it was actually I'm making more money off my mill loss now potentially than just selling the nuts so I encourage you all if you are thinking about getting into this think outside box you know you everything's for sale you don't you don't have a blade of grass on your farm that shouldn't have value in your mind you know whether it be economical environmental whatever that mindset can help you out a lot as far as making your farm profitable so I did that with the mill loss from black walnuts and hickory nuts like I said I didn't really have much with the hazelnuts other value-added products we kind of are experimenting with is like nut butters we did we're looking at doing flowers with the chestnuts since it's not a high oil you can grind it and sell it for flour and then we also got feed tests as of now we have feed tests on the black walnut and hickory it blows grain out of the water I'll just say that it's a very very good feed there's a certain percentage depending on what animal you're feeding it to that you should swine usually can eat a lot more of it than any other animal traditionally has been fed to them for a long time especially chestnuts it makes a really great meat and yeah that's it's a great way to fatten up an animal real quick I'll finish with that that does not do justice that photo in the lighting in here but that is just a sea of hickory nut kernels just completely separated so on that note I'm going to take questions if you have anything we don't get to in the next five ten minutes I think is what we have I'll be here all weekend yes that we just did with a hydraulic press so there's two kinds of presses you have like a hydraulic press or like a it's a corkscrew press hydraulic presses usually run in batches but a corkscrew will run continuously but the thing about the corkscrew is you don't get as much oil out so we're looking at doing hydraulic usually we had to get 2000 pounds the oil 2000 psi the oil would start to come out 5000 we'd start getting blowouts but if we could keep it at like 4500 if we could get a corkscrew press that would just operate continuous or would go up to 4500 we figured we'd be good but it's it's it's rare that you'll find a press that can regulate itself like that so what's nice about the hydraulic presses we can regulate our pressure get all the oil out so we're looking at larger scale batches or scaling up that way but there's ag I think it's ag oil press they make small countertop corkscrew presses that are pretty affordable but again I mean you could you could press oil with a log splitter you know if you wanted to so you know there's there's plenty of hydraulic means of applying pressure machines that apply pressure that are really affordable as well I think your hand was next the reruns the best we found this far I am banking I'm still holding out that the barrel float will work I tried it on the barrel float I've been working with the manufacturer of the barrel float to try and work out some kinks to see if that would work it hasn't worked for me yet I've two years in a row been running them through that and had absolutely no success but yeah because there's way too much hand sorting for us right now in the black wall that's way too much time in the rerun aspirator make it worth our money I guess essentially but yeah if we can if we can figure out a machine like really what it comes down to is that the relative density of the nut meat and kernel are too similar in that the shell characteristics don't it's just it's not like the hickory doesn't absorb water like they do so it might be that I need to bring it up to a higher pressure or but the I'm maxing out the machine right now that barrel floats the smallest they make of that machine but they make other ones that are they call them siphon floats actually when they're scaled up they they'll have like models that are continuously run or continuous you can feed them continuously we've been trying to send product to those manufacturers to test on that to see if that would work but yeah we're still kind of hitting the wall with our processing on the black wall that's yes the halls oh yeah I'm sorry last question was um what we're using for black wall separation and your question was what I do at the halls um that's an excellent question that is also for sale they uh shell kernels uh let me run through a few um one they they make great pellet stove stock especially hazelnuts they'll burn hotter than coal uh it's a really you can throw in your wood stove too so it's a great uh just fuel source um of course not the black walnuts because it's complete mush uh chris uh has actually done research he he uh de halls for hammons uh he does a lot with black walnuts he's a great person to ask about that uh but you've done a lot of research into composting uh it loses the jug loan uh in the composting process so it's a great uh fertilizer application high in uh it's like it's very alkaline I think is what it is and it's high in um uh is it mag what is it high in do you remember there's there's a few things yeah it's it's a very good soil amendment but chris's research in a previous serigrant is online on the ser website so smoking meat hickory nut shells can be substituted for the wood so there's a sustainable uh resource for smoking the wood it gives the same flavor to the meat so you can smoke with the shells rather than uh chipping the tree cutting the trees down and chipping it and uh smoking with that um uh hammons uh cells their shell and some other stuff like for they use it in respirators uh i'm going to talk a little bit about bigger industry stuff with applications they're selling it to the fracking industry all kinds of stuff so they uh again it's like everything's for sale you just got to think about what it can be used for so that's the ones at least on the scale that i'm operating at that i've identified and played around with yes in my opinion yes because and i've talked with a number of or uh he asked if they're still raw uh when they're heated to 120 the um empire chestnut company has done some research on that what they found is no characteristics of the nut has changed post heating so no oil degradation it hasn't done anything they're not essentially but by by typical standard yes it wouldn't be raw i guess but again kurt will be here you can look up the reports from this project but thank you yeah thank you
