Hi Tony. That's Mr. Peterson to you Maggie. Remember I'm your boss. Sorry about that. Anyway I'd like to ask you about a complaint we've just got. What's it about? Our credit card cash dollars. A customer tried to use them at American Records. But, American Records are no longer on our list of retailers, right? That's right. But unfortunately, the English version of our website has not been updated. Why not? That's because our computer technician does not speak very good English, so he only updated the Chinese pages. Okay, but lots of our customers only read English, so we have a problem. What do you suggest we do? Well, we can get the communication department to do translations, and then synchronize all web page updates at the same time. Okay, that sounds good. Anything else wrong? Yes, the customer also complained about our customer hotline, as she couldn't get through. Oh, do we know why? Probably it was due to the recent staff cutbacks. So, now there are not enough staff to answer calls during the peak hours. Yeah, I understand. But we have to save money. Maybe we should advise customers to contact us by email, and guarantee a reply within 48 hours. Good thinking. We could even get the computer guys to develop a mobile app to make contacting us even easier. Great, then we can sell it as an improvement to service quality, even though it doesn't cost us anything. Okay, I'll start on that. Anything else you need to tell me? Well, I will give $1,000 as compensation. You will give? Remember I have to approve first. Oh, sorry. Do you think it is appropriate to give $1,000 as compensation? $1,000 seems excessive. I think $150 is enough. Time's up.


Hey guys, Jen from MyCrateCrafts. Today I'm going to talk to you about a quick Valentine's Day craft that I've been working on. I was debating on whether or not to tell you guys about this or not because you have to have a sense of humor for these. So if you do not, please pass on to my other Valentine's Day crafts that I've been working on. But if you do have a sense of humor, stay tuned for this.  So I made this one. I'm not going to say what it says. You guys can read it and then I made this one and they are on Men's Boxers. So I figured with Valentine's Day coming up, that would be great to give your husband or your boyfriend for Valentine's Day. Like I said, you have to have a sense of humor for this to keep going on. But actually, I did the video and I didn't publish it and I put these in the two stores that I sell at. I sold out of them immediately. She emailed me that same day and said, can you please bring some more back? Can you bring some more back? We sold out. So I'm doing this video after I already sold some. I do talk in the video that I'm going to be selling them. But I want to tell you guys that I actually did sell out of these. They are crazy. So I have that one there. I'll show you this one really quick. And the fun of it just goes on and on. I will show you more to go. But if you guys have a sense of humor, stay tuned. If you don't, go ahead and pass on.  So stay tuned for that. And I'm excited to show you guys how to make these. These ones here, these files I bought from Etsy. You can purchase them anywhere on Etsy, on design bundles, wherever you want. You can also find them on Google and clean them up. So that is where I purchased these ones from. I'm actually going to move these guys over really quick and show you these too. So I actually made these two. I didn't find one that I really like. So I just kind of made it myself. I like this caution choking hazard. One here, kind of blushing, you guys can't see it, but I am kind of laughing inside. So the way you want to do this or find an image is you want to go to images on the left hand side here. And then you can just type in caution or whatever you're looking for. Like if you're looking for lips, you can see that was there too. So I just put in caution.  So this is the one that I originally used. I got this from Google. I just cleaned it up and put it in here. But if you go through here, you will find a couple of different ones. I'm going to use this one actually. So if you see the little green A up here, that means I can use this for free. I pay for the yearly subscription to design space. So I'm going to get this one free. If you are not, you will probably have to pay for it. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how much it is. And actually I'm looking at this one. I think it's kind of funny. So I'm actually going to have that one as well. I'm going to go to add to canvas and then I'll show you the rest of how I did it. Like I said, if you're interested in just purchasing this or these files, please go ahead and just do that. Otherwise, it is fun at creating your own kind of file. So this was kind of funny. I thought this was kind of cute, so I'm going to leave this one as well to the side just for now and kind of work with this one.  What I mean is here is I'm going to hide this and there it is. You see, I'm just using the little I button up here and it hides that. So you can do that if you want or you can just leave it the way it is. I'm just going to leave it the way it is. Actually, I'll use the black and the yellow. So I'm just going to shrink this down a little bit and then go to the text box and then type in caution and you can again type whatever you want.  You can go in and pick whatever font you want that kind of sticks out to you. Again, with the cricket design space, the subscription, you get all these funds for free here. So it might be if you don't have it, it might be something that you're interested in. I will leave a link down below in case you're not a part of it. Disclaimer, I actually do get paid if you do purchase this subscription under me, I will get a small percent percentage. And I seriously do mean small. I know they they sell I think the yearly is a hundred dollars. I may get three dollars off of that, but you know what? That three dollars will definitely help me. So if you do not have the yearly or the monthly subscription and you're interested in it, please use my link down below. I will leave it down there in case you are. So I'm just looking through these. I'm just going to pick this one really quick, kind of see what it looks like. They look different from when you look on it there to when it changes on here. So you always want to kind of be aware of how it's going to look. Well, I actually kind of like that one. So I have caution here and I'm going to put the choking hazard on. So I'm going to go back to my text and it's going to put the same font that we just used. You're going to see it here. So here it is. And one thing I like to do is go up here to the alignment box and then just center it just in case it's not centered, which it was not. So I like it the way it looks. But I want a little bit less space here.  So I'll put let's see a negative 10 and kind of see what that looks like. Oh, no way too much. So maybe I'll tone it down a little bit, maybe go to negative eight and see what that looks like. Still too much.  I just wanted a little bit closer to each other. It looks kind of funny that far apart. So I am going to leave it there. So I have it at a negative 4.5.  So I'm actually going to take, select this, go up to the color box and what is going to choose the second color here? I'm going to go down here and do the same and grab the same color that we just had. And then I click on here and I can easily find just the black over here. So here's another black. Unfortunately, as you can see, there's one, two, three different colors of black. So I'm making sure that they're all the same. So when it cuts out on the mat, it will cut it out as that color rather than three different colors of black, if that makes sense. So all this will cut out. The black will be on one page and then the yellow on another. Last thing I want to do actually is change the size. I'm not worried about selecting all of this and centering it because when it cuts out, it's going to cut out separately. It's going to be doing the choking hazard as one and then caution as another. So just be careful of that. So I'm actually going to take this and shrink the size. I'm thinking that on my boxers that I'm going to be doing is about a three by three.  Normally I would always unlock this and then do three by three, but now I'm just going to leave it locked and let it see how it's going to give it to me. So it's going to do a three by four point three, six, nine. I really don't want to go over the three mark very much. So I actually am going to unlock it here and use the four arrows and make it just a little bit smaller, just kind of gauging up here what it looks like. Again, I really don't want to go too far, far over the three by three, but I also don't want it to look skewed. So I like how this one looks. I'm going to put it up here and leave that. This one, I did the same exact way. If you guys don't know how to use this curve button, I absolutely love it. So I just put out here. I kissed it. So I'm going to just do the text really quick so you guys can see what I'm talking about. And again, it's the same font that we just used. I'm not going to be using this. I'm not going to change the font. I just want to show you how to use the curve. So I have it selected here.  And then you do the same thing for this one. So it's mine. And then you just do it the opposite way. So I hope that helps. That's the only that's how I did it. And then the lips, the same thing went into the images up here, typed in lips, and I got those. So that is how I made those. Wow, you know what, guys? I really like this one a lot better than the one I previously made. So I'm going to get rid of this one and keep this one. I think that's funny. And I already resized this one. This one is actually going to go in this center part of the boxers, and I think the other ones are going to go into like the left or right hand side. So I'm going to make these a little bit bigger, maybe a four by four, maybe a little bit bigger than that. So again, I'm not going to unlock it yet, but I'm going to change this to be a four because Cricut will automatically resize it for you. So if I did a four by four, it would be really skewed looking and I don't want it to be. So I'm going to leave this one the way it is. And then these ones are the ones that I purchased from Etsy. They are all grouped together for me. So I can't really do much with it, except for change this the size and change the color. So I'm going to go up to the color box up here and I'm going to take maybe just a gray color and see how that looks. So this one is the three point five five three by three point nine one. It's perfect. It's in between the size that I want to for a four by four. So I'm just going to keep going to the next ones. Again, I'm going to go up here. Just changes to be four, see how it kind of goes. I like that one. I might actually do this one on a red color HTV. I thought that would be kind of neat looking. And then here we are. Oh my gosh, guys, I'm trying to keep it together. Here we have this one. This one might go in the middle as well. So I want to make sure it does not go over the three by three. I'll make it a little bit larger. Now I am going to actually unlock it here. And we're going to see what it looks like when I change this to be three. Oh, it's not too bad. So there we go. So here it is. I'm going to leave that one. I'm going to shrink my screen a little bit. Sorry about this down here. I have two screens and it seems to pop over sometimes. So I'm going to bring these guys over here. So this was the one I originally bought. I'm going to get rid of that one. I don't like that one as much. Make my screen a little bit bigger so we can kind of see what this looks like. Get rid of that at the bottom. There we go. Sorry, I got two screens and sometimes likes to come up there. Oh, boy, this one too. So I'm going to sneak this just a little bit smaller. Again, it doesn't have to be a three by three or four by four like mine are just what I want it to be.  I have black, blue and gray underwear that I'm going to be putting this on. I'm sorry, guys, boxers. I'm going to be putting these on the white, gray and black boxers. I'm going to choose my colors wisely, so to speak. So I'm going to move this up here. I don't know. I just thought this was funny. If you can read this, proceed with caution. So maybe you could do it like I'm this could be on the top part and this could be like right on the leg part. I don't know. I just thought it was funny when I saw it. I'm like, oh, my gosh, that was that could be perfect. And I do kind of like it in the orange. I'm going to have to see if I have orange in HTV because for this project, you will want to use HTV heat transfer vinyl for this. So I shrunk my screen a little bit just to see what we have here. I think everything looks wonderful. I'm actually going to ungroup this one just so I could see. Whoops, I pushed my button too much. I'm going to see just how big this is. So it's in my range here. You can see up here 2.717. I'm actually going to make these both just a little larger just like that. So I selected it and just did the double arrows. Now I can go back here and see if it's going over the three by three or four by four. So I think that is perfect. I'm going to make this a little bit smaller just because it goes in the middle part. And then this will go on the leg part. So are you guys following me? Do you like this video? Hit that subscribe button. If you do and give me a thumbs up, leave some comments below. If you guys have any other ones that we could add to this, do you think it's funny? Would you give this to your husband? I'm actually going to be selling these at the two craft stores that I'm in. I asked permission and they thought it was hilarious. So we will see how these go. I did see a ton on Etsy and a ton on Amazon that are selling like crazy. People are selling for like 16 to $20 a piece. I think I might go maybe $10 for these considering that the underwear I think I got, let's see, six pair for I think it was $16. So a little bit more pricey, but maybe I'll do $10 or $12 per one. But I love how this is. So I'm actually going to let's see, make a duplicate of this one because I'm going to do a gray one and then also a black one. So I duplicated it and I'm just going to go up to the color box. And these ones up top are the ones that you're using already. So I want to keep the same gray as before. All right. So I like how everything looks. I like the size of like the color, everything. Like I said, I might order some red HTV on Amazon to do this one. But I'm going to go up here and click make it and show you guys what it looks like. Mind you, there's going to be a few mats that you're going to have to do different colors with. If you do choose to do different colors, I'm going to show you what they look like. So here are the mats. Here's a yellow or I'm sorry, the gray one. Here's the black, the orange, the yellow. I guess I got purple on there somewhere, guys. I wasn't considering purple, so I'm going to move those and I'll show you how to move them and then the pink for the lips. So I wanted this to be black. I'm not really sure what happened. So before you go to continue, you can change these and put them on different mats. You just want to click on the double or three dots here, move object and then select wherever you want to put it. So I'm going to put it with the black, I'm going to push confirm and it's going to put it up there. So I want to move it so it's not cutting on top of the other one. Go back to this one, click the three dots, move object, put it on the black one. Again, I didn't recall it was purple, but I guess it was. So now this purple one is empty. It's not going to cut anything. Last thing you want to do is I like to just move it just a little bit so I can get my scissors in there and cut in between. Because we're using HTV heat transfer vinyl, you want to mirror your image. So I'm going to click on mirror for every one of these and then going to the base materials here. These are my favorites. These are the ones that I use all the time. So remember, we are using HTV heat transfer vinyl. Again, I was just saying I don't buy a lot of cricket stuff. So I'm using this one iron on heat transfer non cricket. It would work, too, if you do have cricket brand vinyl, but I don't. So you got to make sure that it's set to your base material up here. It tells you to mirror your image. I always leave the pressure to default. You want to make sure you have a sharp, fine point blade in there. If you don't, you want to make sure that you replace it before you do this. You want to put your material shiny side down on your mat and then go ahead and cut it out. So I'm going to have all these cut out. I'm going to cut it out. I'll wait it out. I'll save you the time of not having to watch me do that. And then I will show you the next step and using my heat press. All right, guys, so I'm finished waiting my files out. I wanted to show you really quick how they're going to turn out. So I did do this one previously. I did this on the side of the leg and then I did another one on. Let's call it the center of the underwear. So I'll show you really quick what that looks like. So it's just like that. I'm not going to say what it says. You guys can read it, but that is how they turn out. So I'm just going to take my pair of underwear and depending on where your file has to go, this particular one, again, I'm not saying what it says. I want to go in the middle here. So what I'm going to do is just line this up and take any of the wrinkles out that I can and make sure it's really flat because you don't want to have.  So I don't care about the top up here. I just want the part right here to be nice and flat. So what I do before I start is I give it a little press, just holding it down for a couple of seconds, get it warm, get some of the wrinkles out, and then I go ahead and put my file on it. So just like that, you can see there's no more wrinkles in the center part where I'm going to be working with it. So I'm just going to lay it on here and then you just put it wherever you want it to go. I'm trying to line it up right in the center part and then take a piece of parchment paper or your Teflon paper that should come with your heat press and gently put it over without disturbing the SVG file itself. I have my heat press set at 380 degrees for 20 seconds and just enough pressure to be able to push it down really quick. I know I talk about my heat press a lot. I absolutely love this heat press. I will leave the link below in case you're interested. I am interested in purchasing a new one this summer, possibly that moves back and forth. But I've tried all the other presses, the Easy Press. I hated it. I had to take it back. It was just too much work. So you can hear this. It's done. You just lift it up. Yeah, with the Easy Press, I couldn't handle it. You have to do all the work yourself anyway. So why not invest in a heat press? So here this is finished here. Be very careful because it is hot. Make sure that your HTV or read your HTV rather and make sure it is a cool peel or if you peel it right away, meaning that if it is a cool peel, you need to let it cool down before you peel it off. Otherwise, you're able just to peel it right away. So here, this one is finished and don't really want to pick it up yet because I want to let it cool down a little bit. So I'm going to put this on the side and then I'll show you one more. And I'm going to do this one on the side of the leg instead. So it's the same process. So I have my file here. Again, I'm not going to read it. You guys can see it. But I'm going to put this one on the side of the leg. So I'm just going to find the inseams on the leg here. Push this up so you can see a little bit more. So I'm just finding the inseams here, the side here. And then I'll go on the side here and find the seam because I want it to be perfectly in the center. And again, I just want to make sure that it's flat and I don't have any wrinkles where I'm going to be putting it. So you want to feel it and feel underneath. If you have any wrinkles underneath there, try to pull them out with your hand. So just like that, I don't care about the top part. All I care about right now is this part. So I'm going to get some of these wrinkles out that are in here. Do the same process. I'm just going to hold it here with a little bit of pressure for a couple seconds.  So there, so it does not look much better. There's not as many wrinkles. There's still a little bit of wrinkles in there, but it's a lot better. So I'm going to take my file and I'm going to put it kind of in the middle here. And you know what, guys? I think this particular file should go in the center, but because I'm doing the leg, I'm going to show you what it looks like. So same thing. You just want to kind of watch your margins down at the bottom, watch your margins on the side and kind of figure out where you want to put it. I'm going to put this one a little bit crooked on here, just so it looks a little bit better. So the same thing, put your Teflon paper on or your parchment paper, whatever you might have. If you have any questions about a heat press or anything with that, please let me know in the comments down below. Again, I love this heat press. So here it is finished.  And then again, be sure that you read to see if it is a cool peel or if you just peel it right away. I just like to go nice and slow because if you do pick up any of that file, you can just put your Teflon tape back over it or sorry, Teflon paper back over it and do another press. But this one turned out perfectly. So here this one is I'm going to be careful because it is hot too. So here is the side view as well. So if you guys like this video tutorial, please let me know. Give me a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button. I'm going to show you this other one really quick. So here's another one on the side and let's see. I think I have another one in the middle here. I thought these were kind of funny to create for Valentine's Day. I think they're going to be a big hit at the stores that I'm in. Leave me a thumbs up. If you like this video, hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and stay tuned because I'm actually going to be doing some more of these. I have actually over here. You can't really see it, a sublimination printer and I'm going to be doing this process with my sublimination printer. So stay tuned for that one guys. Happy crafting and happy Valentine's Day.


What is popping people? Welcome to another video. Today I'm going to be teaching you guys how to catch 10 times more fish in any conditions, any time of year.  Today I'm actually out on the beautiful Ogichi River, and we're going to be trying to catch some fish on the ways that I'm talking about. So we're going to go ahead and hop into this, jump right into it. We're going to be talking about some of the baits while we're going to be throwing these. What baits to switch over to if they're not biting a certain bait, and we're going to hop right into it. So first thing that we're going to talk about today is first, before we even get into the bait, we've got a few baits we're talking about. We're going to talk about the rod and reel setup. There's one rod and reel in particular that I like just because it's one of the most versatile combos, and what I like is 7 foot to 7 foot 3 medium heavy. You can throw just about anything on it from a Texas rig all the way to a chatter bait, all the way to a spinner bait, all the way to even a crank bait if you want to do that, like a smaller one, rattle trap, whatever you want to throw. So around a 7 foot to 7 3 medium heavy for your rod. As in the reel guys, I keep it very basic, like a 7 3 to 1, 7 1 to 1 gear ratio reel. All these people talk about the different gear ratios, but once you've been fishing for a while, you know, you can adjust it with your hand and however you're moving. But the base that we're throwing today, you're not even going to have to worry about that.  So let's go ahead and talk about the rig that we're going to be throwing. So this is one of the most basic rigs out there, and this is actually a basic Texas rig.  I'm going to click off this video, but don't do that yet. If you're new to the channel, hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell right next to it. Also hit the like button if you guys want to see some more tip videos. So let's go ahead and hop into this. So basic Texas rig. Let's go ahead and take this bait right off of here because that's irrelevant for this part. So in my hand, I got a four eye EWG hook. These are actually by 6 cents. Any of the stuff that I'm talking about today, if you want to discount on, I will pop the code up on the screen and I'll drop the links down below. But this is a four eye EWG hook. These hooks are sharp as can be. As for the weight, I'm using a simple 1 fourth ounce, just standard bullet weight. This is a lead weight. Keep it basic. Keep it simple. Where's the packaging? I have it somewhere right here. Just simple and basic out here on the river. I don't want to use tungsten. I use just basic lead weights just because I break off a lot.  So that is the basic rig right there. If you guys are wondering about the knot, I tie a uni knot. I know a lot of people out there tie a polymer knot, but I love the uni. I've been tying it for years. I haven't had any problems with it. It is overall my favorite knot. So that is the rig that we're going to be using. Now let's talk about the baits that we're going to be throwing on. I have three specific baits in my hands today that we're going to be talking about. One is called the prawn. This is a craw style bait. It's more of a beaver style. It's going to be different than the stroker craw that I have right here. Comparing these two baits, let's whip them out of the package. So this right here is actually the prawn by six cents. In the last like probably six videos I've uploaded, I've absolutely killed the fish on it. And this is like a beaver style bait. It's a smaller beaver. And as you guys can tell, you pull these apart right here. And it's just got a tiny bit of motion at the end. On the other hand, we've got a stroker craw right here. When you get them out of the package, you're going to pop them off like that so those legs are free. As you guys can tell by this one, there's tails at the end that are going to be kicking the whole time. That's going to put off a lot more vibration. A little more subtle, a lot more vibration. So if this fish are a little bit more finicky like today, last night we actually had a cold fry. It went from 80 degrees all the way to a high of 50 today, 30 degree drop. I'm going to want to use something more like this that's a little bit more subtle that this fish are going to bite because they're going to be slower today. Pressure may was low last night and now it's just skyrocketed. So this fish are going to be a little slower. I'm going to go with the prawn. Fish are a little bit more active. If you're fishing more dirty water, you're going to want to go with the stroker crawl. That's going to put off a little bit more vibration. You'll get a ton of bites on that. But if you don't get bites on a crawl that has a lot of motion, you want to switch over to something like this. That's a little more subtle, the fish abide it. Now let's talk about if they're not biting either one of these baits. Because I've seen it like this where these fish just don't want to eat a crawl. They really want to warn better. So that's what I'll switch over to. This is actually the clout. This is a stick bait right here. And by the way, this color right here is called Dark Water Bug. This is perfect. It describes itself as perfect for dirty water. On one side it's got a purplish color with some blue flakes. On the other side is black and blue. It's split half and half. This is going to be amazing for a bunch of the ponds that you guys are fishing if you're doing that.  Therefore, you're going to want to use like a black and blue dune bug and a dark color like this. So if you're not getting bites on the crawls, a great option to switch over to is a Sanko. Right here. You're going to throw it the same way. So let's go ahead and actually rig this up on the rod. Let's use the Sanko as an example. Fish aren't biting today. It's super tough. So this is what you're going to want to do. You got your EWG hook. You got your stick bait. You're going to line the stick bait. Boom. Right there. You're going to break it through. You're going to push the bait all the way up on the eyelid of the hook. Just like that. We're going to want to rig this weedless. So right here, you're going to lay your Sanko on top of the hook. Where the end of the hook is right there, that's exactly where you're going to want to penetrate it. Boom. We're going to go in right there. I'm going to keep it right below the plastic.  Look at this. It's perfect. Right there. Look at that. This is weedless as it gets right there. And you're not going to have any problems going through grass if that's what you're fishing. So this bait right here is amazing. But this is only one part of the process. We're going to have to figure out how the fish want it today. Whether it's us dragging it. Whether it's us popping it. Whether it's us throwing this thing weightless because there's a lot of grass. And I know a lot of you guys are fishing ponds. You might want to throw this weightless just because there's so much grass. But we're going to be throwing this around some cover. Around some of these reeds right here. And, you know, we're going to want a weight on there today. But that is the beautiful rig that we're going to be using. Like I said, tough conditions today. Cold front last night. I'm going to go to a worm. You know, sometimes they'll eat the craw. But if they're not eating it, you know, we've had a few bites on it today. We're going to switch to a worm for a more subtle approach. Now let's see how we're going to throw it. Move your bite there. You got him? Get him boy. Yeah. Bradley. Oh yeah. Right. Two seconds on the worm. He's on the Senko. He's on the Senko though. Yes sir. So Bradley is throwing the Senko. He's throwing the clout. Caught him a little bass. Nothing big. Right there on the grass though. As you guys can tell, he's tucked up on it, wasn't he? Tucked right up on it. Hit it just like it's messed up. Right there. Right there guys. He's in that little cubby hole.  Oh my gosh, look at this. Oh my gosh. Dude he's running. Oh my gosh. This is a good one. Oh, oh, Bradley. Yes. Boys, we got us a good one today man. We got us a good one right here. And we are getting one step closer. Me and Bradley have been talking. And we were going back in the slew for probably two miles already. And it's high tide. We're going to see if we can find them stacked up. We haven't had a bite this whole way. And then boom, just knocked a good one right there. That is a beautiful Ogichi River bass. Fat and healthy. We're going to keep on fishing. I hooked him. By the time I hooked him, he's already under my boat. That's how strong these fish are out here. That is awesome. Let's keep it going. We talked about the rig that we're going to be using. Now I'm going to talk about a few different ways that you guys can catch more fish on it. This is the important part to where it's going to make you catch. I promise you a lot more fish if you're using these tips I'm saying in today's video.  You see these little reeds and stuff all around this weird looking grass. You guys probably don't see that much. We're actually in some brackish water right now. We also have some lay downs right here in this corner. Bass, what they like to do is they hang up on all that stuff. Whether it's wood, whether it's rock, whether it's grass. They like to have their back in all that. So seeing that lay down right there, that fish is going to be right up on that thing. If you guys are fishing bank spots, especially, if you guys see anything like that, if you see lay downs, whatever it is, you need to be flipping an old Texas rig in there. Here, this is current. As you guys can tell, I have my weight free. If you guys are flipping in some heavy cover, I would suggest putting a bobber stop on top of this so your weight is pegged. Here, if you're fishing tidal water, if you're fishing where there's a lot of current, I like to use no peg because it's going to have a lot more motion. It's going to look a lot more natural to that bass. So we're pulling up in this pocket. We've got some grass, got some lay downs, and I want to cast at that tree. I want to see if there's a fish on that tree. So I'm going to get this Texas rig and give it a little cast right up on that tree. Let it pull my line out. Make sure you're on the bottom. There's going to be one style that if the fish are super tough, this is what I do all the time. So I just let it sit for a minute. Once I cast out there, I'll reel up my slack. I'm going to slowly drag that thing over those limbs right there. Very slow, okay? Reel up your slack. Slowly drag that thing. And if those fish are really finicky, sometimes that's how they're going to want it. But then there's going to be some days that you're going to cast this bait up on there. Boom, just like that, right up in that tree. And you're just going to want to click it and not even move that thing. That's called dead sticking. That is the worst case.  You need to try dead sticking, okay? Then there's going to be those days where the fish are a little bit more active. You're covering some water and you're going to pitch up in that tree. If you're throwing the crawl especially, you're going to want to kind of pop it. You know, you're going to want to kind of hop it. And those fish are going to want it better that day. You know, it's just going to depend. You're going to have to experiment with dead sticking it, dragging the bait, popping the bait, but make sure you're up on that cover.  One very important thing is in a sunny day. That's when those fish are really going to get up on that. If you have a lot of clouds in the sky, sometimes those fish are going to be roaming a lot more. But when that sun gets up, those fish are going to want to get out of that and they're going to get pushed up in those laydowns and a bunch of that cover. So I'm going to flip this little Sanko up on all of this stuff along the bank. And we're going to also hit some of this grass back in here and we're going to see if we catch some fish. I'm going to be using some of the techniques that I just talked about. You know, whether it's slow dragging it, whether it's popping it. But today with that cold front, I think it's going to be a lot slower and we're going to have to work it very, very slow. We're going to try that crawl a little bit. If we can't get them on that, we're going to result over to this Sanko. I've seen so many comments of people saying, man, Noah, there he is. Took my Sanko. Gone, bro. Gone, bro. Look at that. Gone. All right. Here's a great example right here. You guys ready? When that happens, I didn't get a hook in him. He just took it. Okay. I'm going to switch up to this crawl because it's a different presentation. He noticed that worm. Okay. Now we're going to switch right over to this. We're going to pitch in there and we're going to see if he'll eat it. Rig it the same way? Yeah. Rig it the same way. Right up on there. We're going to pull these tails off. There we go. That's perfect. And this is important. You want to get back in there really quick. He was right under that tree, guys. Right on that cover. See if he'll eat this thing. But you saw how slow I was working that worm, guys. It's important. But he had it. He peeled it right off. But usually when that happens, you can get back in there and catch him. This could be another one of the situations where they just don't want this crawl.  And, you know, I wanted to put on the crawl because he just saw the worm. You know, maybe switching it up, throwing something a little bit different in there might trigger that fish to bite. He just did not have it all the way. He was running with it. Anything about that was just... Holy cow. Yo. That was a big fish. I don't know what it was, but it was big. You didn't even shake it. I don't think that was a mudfish. I really don't. I really don't. He had frayed. Look. It's a frayed. That ain't a mudfish. That was a bass. That was a big one, dude. That was a very big fish. That's a great learning lesson right there. And this is something I want everybody to know. At all times, you need to always check your line, especially when throwing something like this. You're pitching in all those trees. And, you know, when you're going through all that stuff, even when you get hung up, the smallest little things, even when you're catching fish for a while, you always want to check your line and retie. And that is a little mistake that I just made, and I broke off a big fish right there. So we're going to retie right now and get back in there and catch a big one. Big bass? Yeah. A striper. Don't mean that, so... How the heck you catch a striper in here? That's a good one. Holy cow. Big bass, energy. Just striped it bad. Dude, that's a good one, though. That was a fatty. I can't believe you caught him back here. That was insane. On a crawl. On a crawl, I've never seen that before. That's a beautiful striper, though. That's seriously a good one. Oh, yeah. What about... You thought you had a donk, didn't you? I thought I had a donk. I was like, yes, sir. We're about probably three miles back, guys, and I just can't believe you caught a striper back here. That's insane. All right. Was it on the bottom? Yeah. Or are you reeling in? On the bottom. What? That's wild. I don't know. Yo, yeah.


Good morning, son! Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Oli. We are attempting a new Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. After riding 3,000 miles across Europe, we are now ready to explore the roads of North Africa. Click the subscribe button to follow our journey around the world and let the adventure begin. Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 54 on our round the world trip. Now we are here just next to this reservoir, which I don't know if you can see just in the background. Just outside the city of Ouazazat where we had a successful wild camp here, our first wild camping in Morocco. Successful right here. It's a beautiful morning. Yes, we had a really good night tour. It was super quiet, no wind at all and we slept without our tent cover, so we could see the stars and We had a really nice breeze. So it wasn't too cold. It wasn't too hot. It was just perfect. You could hear a few dogs barking in the distance. In the distance. I think this is just a common thing here in Morocco that you can always hear dogs barking when you're camping. And it's really funny as well because I read on iOverlander about this place here and they mentioned It's possible that some locals come and ask you to want to drink some tea with you and yesterday We had somebody coming over asking us do you want to drink some tea with me? So I think that's really funny. So let me show you guys where we're gonna be heading today. Okay, so we are Here just at this reservoir outside the city of Ouzazat And we are going to be continuing on the N10 which joins up with the N9 and crossing the High Atlas Mountains Over to Marrakech There's one cool place that we're going to be visiting along the way as well Which is the UNESCO World Heritage Site I eat Ben Hadou, but I'll tell you more about that when we get over there So we have about 150 miles which is 240 k's to go. It's just 7.10 in the morning. So better hit the road. Let's go First little off-road to warm up for today. All right, let's do it Okay, we won't take that one. I know That's a little bit too crazy Nice, I like this. Yeah, it's beautiful. It was a super, super nice camp. Yeah It was super peaceful, super nice. Yeah Oh, I don't like that too much Okay Yeah, it wasn't too bad. Don't worry. Yeah, and it's actually quite cool at the moment, isn't it? Oh, yeah, that's nice It says air temperatures 18 degrees. Wow. Wow. That's incredible. We're actually bordering on being a little bit too cold for us now Now I'm really happy that we woke up so early Get started early. This gets hot in the afternoon, doesn't it? It gets hot and I get a headache Yeah, yeah, which is a little bit annoying because we are just on the way down south Yeah, basically got a month of endless sunshine. Yeah, a month of suffering I can do that All right, this is the RN10, the Route National 10 And it's going to join up with the Route National 9 at Wazazat And then we'll be heading over there into the Atlas Mountains Let's go So this whole area of Morocco around the Wazazat and these mountains here, this is basically the Hollywood of Morocco So we just passed by in Wazazat, the town Quite a few film studios and this whole area has been used for a lot of films since the 1960s And the place that we are Heading to right now, which is about five miles away. Aid Ben Hadou is also used as film sets It's been used as a film set for Prince of Persia, Alexander The mummy, I mean it's like part of film history But it's actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site It was built in the 11th century and it's basically a fortified village Set on a hill. It's completely built out of mud as well. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So it just kind of like blends into the hill So Yeah, it's going to be really cool. I can't wait to see it. Yeah, it should be really nice So this road that we're on right now coming up and through the mountains is part of a very very historic trade route from the Sahara and sub-Saharan Africa through to Marrakesh and then further on to the coast and Aid Ben Hadou originally started as a fortified Stop with like, you know a place to rest a place to stop a place to trade along this trade route It has a lot of historic significance And it is a historic route that we're taking right now You can imagine for the past like thousand maybe even more years People with their camel trains have been traveling through here from the Sahara up Up into the Atlas Mountains and stopping off where we're gonna stop off today Of Aid Ben Hadou from here now. Very picturesque place. I don't know what's more impressive the buildings or the women doing The handbook picking them Like they have done a thousand years ago It's a really beautiful peaceful area very nice But we got to hit the road. We got to get to Marrakesh. Oh look There's a little motor motorcycle girl over there. Maybe I should go and pick her up Well, hey there pretty lady Well, you're headed you want to go to Marrakesh All right, let's rock and roll We're now heading towards the Atlas Mountains in front The place that we have booked to stay is 111 miles on the other side in Marrakesh Yeah, we booked this place on Airbmb and It's 16 euro the night and we booked it for a few days Yeah, just pretty much just a bed and a desk Place where we can do some editing where we can chill out a bit because we have now been on the road for quite a few days in a row Yeah, I think seven days. Yeah, so I think it's time for For a little bit of off-the-bike time It's like they're building the entire way From Marrakesh to Wazazad They're rebuilding the entire road That's absolutely crazy. Yeah Who would have known hey? They're moving mountains for this highway. Wow Respect Wow, look at this colors. Yeah, it's really beautiful here. Wow, but this dark brown mountain next to this like Really red mountain. Yeah, and then they're farming some sort of wheat here Everything in this terraces. Yeah, and this is what they're using to Feed the animals but also to mix with the earth to make the houses Because of course all of the houses are made from just straw and mud. It's really incredible I mean look you can barely see the difference between the houses and the and the mountain. Yeah, incredible absolutely incredible we just passed over a Mountain pass with the sign that said altitude 2260 meters above sea level Yeah, and it's so crazy as well because we just changed like the valley and here the mountains are actually more like green and gray and brown Yeah, they told me they lost their red red color. Yeah, and there's actually grass on these hills. Yeah a little bit Completely different. It looks completely different. Yeah, it's very cool People selling some stuff here on the side of the road. I think it's honey. Maybe oh, yeah, yeah Or some marmalade or maybe some argon oil or something And they're all competing with each other as well. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah Really pretty mountains in front. Yeah The other side of the Atlas Mountains now you see the landscape starting to open up But yeah, it was quite a long and windy road It wasn't so many miles, but you cannot drive those roads very fast Which is nice. You can enjoy the enjoy the place. We've traveled the 109 miles We've got 41 miles to go until we reach Marrakesh. Yeah, I think that is the end of the windy mountain roads It's Stuck as well behind the truck. Look at those trucks Oh god, and that truck has to go all the way up and over where we just went crazy I mean, it must take him the whole day It must take him forever to pass the mountains. I guess so Okay, we are just having the cheapest meal on our trip so far yet It's 80 cents and it's egg And bread. And I got because it's so cheap as well a Moroccan salad. Bon appetit We've just come down from the mountains and we've entered like the busiest place in the whole world I don't think we're in Marrakesh because we still have 26 miles to go But look at this place. Yeah, look here on the right. You can see the horse and the cars Here, so it's really common here. We saw a lot of locals using them. Yeah, like taxis horse. Yeah, horse taxis carriage taxis. Yeah, it's really crazy and here on the other side you can see like all the taxi drivers as well Wow, and there's a donkey in the middle of the road busy place. Yeah To be a bit careful, there's quite a lot of people around Yeah, a lot of people around. It's a whole different life to the life of the mountains, isn't it? Yes Okay, we're finally coming In close to Marrakesh We're coming in on the east side of Marrakesh and we're heading across to the west side It's about what is it? 6.8 miles. I've routed actually to Marrakesh airport Because our accommodation is just near the airport and yeah, it's very busy here as well A lot of stuff going on.

Hi everyone, happy Friday. Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com with a special break here, 2019, 2020. It's like basketball, team all edition. China exclusive right here, ladies and gentlemen. We're gonna do a two box, random team break number one. All card ship right here. So a lot of special stuff in this stuff. So, I mean, basketball already sells well. Now take an exclusive market version. You know, you can get an idea of where I'm going with that. All right, now there's an early bird special here as well. If you're the one of the first 15 people to buy spots, you can get a free spot, a bonus spot. The early bird catches the worm. Different dice roll for this. Let's roll it, let's randomize it nine times. Name on top gets the early bird spot. And a ninth and final time. And congrats, Jeremy, there was no doubt about it. He had the top two spots. There you go. He is an early bird. He has caught the delicious, delicious worm. I'll bet this river monster that I'm watching on Animal Planet probably enjoys worms. All right, so let's grab everybody's names here. Thanks everyone else for getting in. Really appreciate it. All 30 teams are in in this two box break. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it two and a one three times. One, three, easy. We've got Ryan, down to Matthew. Let's put him in this different tab here. Three times for the teams. After three times, we've got the Raptors down to the Orlando Magic. And of course, this is the current rookie class the 2019, 2020 rookie class. Zion, John Morant, so on and so forth. All right, Ryan were the Raptors. Alexander with the Clippers. Jeremy 33 of the Pistons. Mike Tower with the Sons. Mark with the Rockets. Tyler with the Celtics and Trailblazers. Carter, Nuggets. Jeremy with my Lakers. Bill with the T-Wolves. Drew with the Sixers. Benjamin with the Spurs. Zach with the Knicks. Ryan with the Grizz. Nice. Zach with the Cavs. Anderson with the Mavs. Chris with the Utah Jazz. Eastwood with the Pacers. Jeremy, your early bird spot. Charlotte, Murder Hornets. Tim with the Warriors. Bill with the Thunder. Neil, last spot, Mojo Nets. Josh with the Bulls. John with the Kings. Matthew with the Wizard. Zach, Paul with the Pelicans. Tyler with the Bucks. Colin with the Heat. Cedric with the Hawks. And Matthew Kelly with the Orlando Magic. I was like, does that Orlando that I read? There it is. Let's sort by team name. And while you're considering trades, what I'm gonna do, I'll bring that list back in just a second, but I'm gonna pop open this case. I'll use this space right here. Pop open this case and see which one we're gonna do. I have six, two, four, six, eight, 10, 12. 12 box space. It is light. He'll pull hundreds of times. That's why he needs a tailored recipe for my life. And so I know it's kind of hard to see, but I wrote one, two, three, four, five, six on here.  I like the one that says Flamingo up there. And we'll go one, two, three, four, five, or six. And it's six. So we'll get this group right here. Maybe in future breaks, I'll just grab two random boxes, but just to start, that's a six. That's my six. That's not a nine, a six right there. So here's what you can get. We got John Morant on front. 12 packs, five cards per pack. Three tiers of silver prisms. Red wave prisms, gold wave prisms, which are exclusive to this set. So there you go. So we got some trade chatter. So I'm gonna pause the video. When we come back, we're gonna see if there's any trades. And then we'll have the breaks. Stick around. All right, welcome back, folks. There was a lot of trade chatter. I'm not even kidding. There was a lot. There we go right here. But no deals were done. That's all right. It's all good. Obviously you can see on the top camera we've got more in the store and more sold out. So I'm gonna go through orders after this and we're gonna see, we're gonna line up the schedule a little bit before we start Chronicles 2. Slide these out carefully. Sometimes these select packs kind of rattle around. We got river monsters on Animal Planet, on the TV, ladies and gentlemen, if you wanna watch along with us. All right, and good luck. The team all exclusive. The China exclusive. Get into it while supplies last. We will have some of this on our personal channel as well. Personal box channel at Jaspy's Breaks on Instagram live only. And on our website, jaspees.com. Anything group break related, case break related, believe it or not, is on jaspeescasebreaks.com. And I think all cards shift in this. Yes, all cards shift. They generally do in select stuff. Blake Griffin, Silver. Jackson Hayes, D'Angelo Russell, Lucas Samonich, just base. And we got a nice Trey Young right here. Court side. So this must be the red wave prism. And this is the shortest printed, shortest printed tier. Court side, premier level, and then concourse, I'm pretty sure, something like that. There's Darius Garland, Rookie Silver. So the Trey Young will go to Cedric and the Hawks, and the Rookie Darius Garland, Silver, is gonna go to Zach Paul and the Cavs. There's Porzingis for the Mavs, that goes to Anderson. I think we're getting to that point, Jeremy 33. I think we are getting to a point where, where for stuff like prism, like certain products, we just may just have to blanket, just ship everything in basketball. And at the rate that these prices have been going up. That's the second year, Luke at Donchich. And there's the gold wave, Victor Oladipo, premier level for the Pacers. Eastwood with that one. What's that? The Steel Curtain is sealed. Oh, that's what he wants, okay. Did everyone hear that? Steel Curtain, who bought out, Random Team One, has chosen, has elected to have that case shipped to him sealed. So I guess it'll be a mystery as to what was in there. Anderson with the Mavs. Isaiah Roby, rookie silver, RJ Barrett. And red wave, Brandon Clark, court side. John Thomas says, I don't like getting in breaks where all cars don't ship except bow and paper. Yeah, that's gonna be a rough one next week. That's for the Gris. That'll be for Ryan Redman with the red prism, red wave. RJ Barrett, just regular base for Zach Paul. And always have to sleeve up rookie silvers. You never know, even with Isaiah Roby, Anderson with the Mavs. James Harden and a John Morant, nice. There's Jalen Brown coming up. John Morant for Ryan Redman and the Grizzlies. Anything good out of here? Yeah, that John Morant is pretty good. The Gold Oladipo is good. Jalen Brown, red wave, exclusive to the set. That's good too. Celtics, Tyler. Darius Basely, red wave for the Thunder. That'll be for Bill. Silver Romeo Langford, it's before the Celtics, Tyler Stump. And one more box. All right, second to final box. We've got River Monsters, Deadliest Man Eaters is the episode. This is a really deep dive into River Monsters, ladies and gentlemen. I guess I hadn't watched this show in ages, but they're hour-long episodes. He really digs into the regional history, whatnot. Are these cards even on eBay yet? Maybe, eBay Asia, eBay China, perhaps. I don't know how many people in the States have gotten these. There's Chris Paul and John Morant, Grizzlies, Ryan Redman. I mean, these are, that's still regular select. And then these red waves, of course, are exclusive to this particular set. Bradley Beal and James Hardin, courtside red wave. Rockets, Mark. And we've got a red wave, Kauai Leonard Clippers. That will be for Alexander. Second-year Luka Donchiches are doing all right too. Better than all right. Deandre Aten, Taco Fall, DeLon Wright. And we've got a nice Saquidim Boya, courtside red wave. Cody Martin Silver. Cody Martin goes to Charlotte Murder Hornets. That'll be for Jeremy 33 in his early bird spot. The Saquidim Boya is nice. That'll be for Jeremy 33. And the Pistons. He's heating up. Yannis, Oladipo Silver. And we've got Fred Van Bleep. Raptors, red wave for Ryan. The Yannis is nice as well. Tyler Stumpf with the Bucks. Deandre Drummond Silver. Remember all car chip. And we've got one more gold. And it's Steph Curry. Nice, gold wave, Steph Curry. Good parallel for Tim Tyler and the Golden State Warriors. Gold for Golden State. That card is gold. Old school Jaspies people will get that reference. Random Team One in the books. There'll be more coming up. Joe for jaspiescasebreaks.com. I'll see you for that one later. Bye-bye.


Today we check out the important parts in my opinion that you mostly want to hear about. How's it going guys? My name's DPJ and if you enjoyed the video, leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you like what we see and want to see more. So last night we got the V1.3.0 patch notes for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia. Now I ain't going to read through the entire thing because it's absolutely massive and I don't want to waste your time with many, many changes which to be honest you probably won't even have realised well there was an issue there in the first place. But I will read through the important parts in my opinion and I will showcase the entire patch if you want to read through the patch notes on screen just pause the video and read through it if you want to. But I do just want to talk about mainly the changes that affected multiplayer matchmaking gear, exotics and a few other bits and bobs. Okay so starting with multiplayer matchmaking, various fixes to multiplayer matchmaking systems including reduction of cooldown after leaving a strike team before the user could matchmake again from 30 seconds down to 4 seconds. Matchmaking now stays enabled during mission launch countdown to give more time for players to rejoin. Fixed a bug where the searching for heroes UI would not always match the actual matchmaking status. Fixed a bug where multiple host migrations would prevent the player from matching successfully again. Fixed quick match launched with any hero failing when two quick match players joined another match simultaneously. Fixed losing quick match status when a player failed to join another match. Fixed a bug where leaving an existing strike team would prevent the next quick match attempt from working properly. So there are a few changes with multiplayer matchmaking and we're going to go and move on to gear challenges and rewards. Now like I said there's plenty of changes with this patch and the patch notes like I said I will put them on screen for you after I've talked about what I think is necessary so if you do want to pause the video and check them out you can do so. So gear challenges and rewards, various gear challenges and reward fixes slash tuning including. Fixed an issue where the fabrication machine would occasionally not reward an outfit or units if it's a duplicate pattern. Well that's good to know because the amount of patterns I lost here is unbelievable. Fixed an issue where resources and their players inventory including units would disappear if they reached a total of 32,000. We capped all units and resources at 65,000 for storage and ensured that they will not disappear moving forward. If you lost a large number of units due to this bug please contact Square Enix customer service. Resolved bad save states and returning missing campaign outfits to users from a bug that was reverting them to a locked state. Not iconic outfits may still be missing or locked but we are investigating. Increased gear power cap from threat sectors, drop sounds and hives to 130 to align with their max mission power so that's pretty cool. Exotic gear now have higher attribute points. Power level 130 plus exotic gear now always has better attributes than other realities which is amazing because when this game first dropped and people rushed through the multiplayer side of the game and people were getting exotics you could actually get legendaries that had the same stats which were actually better than the exotics which is just bizarre. So it's good to see there's actually a reason now to play for exotics which is pretty cool. Gear that was earnestly being rewarded at power level 1 and uncommon rarity has been fixed in all activities. Activity specific gear earned in elite heroic hives is now awarded at correct power and rarity. Now there was a lot of problems here with people running the heroic hives or the elite heroic hives and not actually being rewarded decent gear which is good now that's being fixed. Gear with hero specific perks can now be awarded at epic legendary and exotic rarities with the correct number of perks. Previously legendary items of this type had too many hero specific perks and epics were not awarded at all so that's pretty cool too. Faction XP is awarded to the entire strike team when rescuing inhumans in war zones. Great change. Hawk's fractured outfit now appears in the appearance menu when awarded through a rare pattern. World display item correctly in inventory of players who have already collected this outfit. A rare pan is now currently awarded at the start of the more assemble required mission. Various hero challenges that were incorrectly tracking progress or not advancing under certain conditions have been fixed and that is that people. Now like I said there's plenty more for you to read through if you do want to check out if a bug you've reported or noticed has been sorted. Now after reading through the entire thing I still feel there's a few things missing from this which I know they are working on for a future patch which for instance like the faction missions and some of the balances bogging out for a lot of people. I mean many of my friends have experienced this too and they said they are working on a fix. They also tweeted this out not long after tweeting the patch notes. Due to an issue that has been discovered we advise to refrain from refreshing your weekly challenges if you are seeing a missing one as doing so may result in a crash. We're currently investigating this and we'll update with more information. So you guys just be warned of that. But yeah guys some decent changes in my opinion I mean there's a lot here like I said for you to read through if you want to. I'm glad Exotics now worth actually farming because like I said you could get Legendos that were even better than Exotics that had the exact same benefits to them which is crazy so yes Exotics now seem to actually be worth farming for and it seems as though the elite heroic hives have been fixed too which is good. But yeah guys if any more changes do come or the next patch I will have you covered right here on my channel so subscribe if you're new around here and want to see more. But on that note guys I am out I will leave you to now watch or read through the rest of these patch notes if you want to that is up to you but guys thanks as always for stopping by hopefully you enjoyed the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one.


Hi, my name is Kirill. I'm from Kiev, Ukraine. I've just finished my 120-hour TEFL course, and it was quite an interesting experience. Units were specific and very useful. Also, I want to mention tutor support. Answers were fast and clear. Actually, the final task was a little bit difficult, but it's very useful for your teaching career. So, I would recommend ITT for everyone who wants to teach English as a secondary language, or just improve their own teaching skills. Thank you!


Hello everyone, and thank you so much for tuning into this talk. I am super excited to be here with you all at Vulncon, at least digitally.  Anyway, I am really flattered and really pleased to be able to bring this to you. This is a talk titled Advanced Tips and Tricks for Capture the Flag and this is with me, John Hammond. So without further ado, let's go ahead and dive in. I'm gonna try and break this down as simple as I can here. So we're gonna get into some kind of fun mental exercises, I hope, and hopefully I can introduce to you that in a fun way. So let's get this bare-boned basics easy idea first out of the way. Let's say there's you as one being one person, one human individual out in the world, and you want to try and improve your security skills. You want to get better at cyber security, you're interested in hacking, you want to be on the keyboard, being an operator, doing the really cool and doing the fun stuff. So how do you go about doing that though? That's super hard. And I've kind of talked about this and if you know me, you know that I, you know, sing the praises of it and shout from the rooftops the real value in playing Capture the Flag. I think that's the best way to learn and get your hands on with real cyber security tasks and problems to solve and new challenges to uncover and face. And you can improve your skills by doing that. So let's define you a little bit more and kind of who you are, what you can do and what actions you might be able to take to get better. Here's an idea. Here's you kind of defined as a class. And you can see that I'm very clearly kind of distilling this down into the bare-boned basics. Let's just say you exist with a certain property, such as your skill level. And right as you get started, right when you're taking on this challenge, you're going on this adventure to learn more and sharpen your skills. You're going to try and start off with the skill level starting at zero. Now, just like, you know, in a video game, just like we're trying to level up what we could do and who we are and everything that we can accomplish. We want to improve that skill level. So how can we do that? Well, let's build out another function or another capability. And let's say that you can play capture the flag or play CTF. And now that will increase your skill level. We're just going to add one to that number zero up here. So your skill level increases. Now, obviously that is super duper distilled down. I'm sure a ton of you know that it doesn't work all the time that way.  Everything that you're going to learn comes from the capture, the flag that you play. But obviously in the real world, there are a lot more variables at play. There are a lot of other dependent circumstances or or a lot of other potential factors and how you increase your skill level, how you get better at what you do. So let's fill this out a little bit, right? But first, bear with that initial idea that you exist and your skill level after you play a CTF will increase. And when you're just getting started out, that's awesome. That's all that you want to do. You want to keep increasing your skill level. So you'll play a CTF over and over and over again. Let's say, OK, let's just loop this real quick. Let's play about 10 different capture, the flag events, all these different exercises. And now at the end of the day, after you've played so many CTF events, your skill level has gone up. Now you're not sitting at zero anymore. Maybe you're all the way up to 11 and you could extrapolate this idea as much as you want, right? But we know that this this whole thought, this whole idea isn't exactly fleshed out just yet. There are dependencies and other variables at play that we aren't considering. So that's the that's the beginning thought, right? Though at the very, very start of the game of the world, at the beginning of your adventure, you're going to play capture the flag so you can keep amping up your skill level and you'll get better and you'll learn at the end of the day, though, you're having fun.   You can get better. Next, you want to tackle some harder capture the flag games and exercises. You want to play some advanced or more difficult CTFs. So let's kind of switch up our functionality here. Let's go back to this you idea and let's change up our play CTF functionality here. And let's say that we could supply a difficulty or how difficult the CTF that you might play actually is. Now your skill level will increase by the difficulty. And again, you know, OK, that might not be completely realistic, right? Again, there are a lot of other variables and factors at play. I'm just trying to distill this down. I'm just trying to get this thought across because if you were to play difficult CTFs and hard CTFs, let's say you're super excited about this. Let's say that you want to go tackle and you want to go play the hardest CTF that you can. Let's go and play a CTF with this humongous difficulty. It's super duper hard. We could try it. We could go play that CTF with some large, ginormous difficulty value. Except, oh, that's not going to work. That's going to be super duper hard, right?  Maybe you can't accomplish any of those tasks. You can't beat any of those challenges. And it really drags you down, right? Like that's tough. That's way over your head. That difficulty, that was too hard. And we sort of got an overflow, an information overload, and we just couldn't handle it. We couldn't play that CTF. So we weren't able to increase our skill level. We weren't able to get better. It was just a slap in the face. Well, how can we avoid this, right? We need to know that some difficult CTFs are way too hard and we can't tackle them on our own, or at least not yet, not at the moment. But how are we going to increase our difficulty? How are we going to get better? Let's keep expanding on this, right? Let's change up our play CTF idea and the functionality here. So if we were to supply a difficulty, if we were to play maybe a more difficult CTF, here's the thought. If the difficulty is more or greater than our current skill level, well, then it won't work. We'll get an error and be like, hey, this CTF is just too hard. We can't get better at it. It's too difficult for us. That's the idea. That could at least protect us or stop us from really beating ourselves up when we just fail or can't solve anything in a capture-the-flag game or exercise. So now we go back out into the world. We take a look at our skill level. We see where we are. We see, we kind of take inventory on everything that we know and we've learned about. And we go play another capture-the-flag event. But when we look back at ourselves and we take a look at our skill level, we see that we haven't really improved. Our skill level hasn't gone up. And you say, what the heck? Why isn't this working? When I was playing capture-the-flag earlier, I was improving, my skill level was increasing.  You keep playing capture-the-flag, but nothing is happening. You've plateaued because we didn't play a more difficult CTF. We just sort of plateaued. And I'm sure a lot of you know that feeling where, okay, you play one capture-the-flag, but all this or at least a lot of it is already still within your knowledge realm and you haven't picked up or learned anything new.  So you aren't growing. You aren't improving. You aren't bettering yourself and increasing your skill level, right? So our idea, or at least it's current implementation right now, still isn't right. It still isn't accurate. We know we're gonna bump into the wall if we play a capture-the-flag game that's too difficult, way too hard. But if we don't increase our skill level, all we do, if all we do is we play easy games or kind of simple bare-bone basics, beginner capture-the-flag events, we aren't going to improve. So how do we find this middle ground, right? Let's expand on our idea. Now let's look at how we can kind of abstract this idea of playing a CTF. Now we supply a difficulty or what we might be up against. And we also add a new kind of variable at play here, where we kind of consider how we're gonna end up playing this capture-the-flag. Maybe we'll supply the way or the manner that we go about it.    Now we still have our original difficulty check. If the difficulty is above our skill level, then we'll still get this error or we'll hurt, right? It won't work. This CTF will be too hard and we won't be able to play. But there's a new condition here at play. If depending on how we play the game, then we could still increase our skill level. If we were to play this game in a smarter way, we could still grow and learn and improve our skill level depending on the difficulty of the capture-the-flag game. Now sure, it might be at a different threshold. We're not going to be increasing like linearly by one every single time. Now it's dependent on the difficulty and maybe we'll only get just a small factor, just a small portion of what we would have gained otherwise. But we're still stretching ourselves. We're still learning and we're playing more difficult capture-the-flag challenges. But there's still a problem. We look at ourselves. We look at our skill level. We see we still haven't proved that we're at that same value and we try to go play another capture-the-flag event that's a little bit more difficult or has a greater difficulty than our current skill level. And again, we see our big scary error message where this doesn't work. This CTF is just too hard. We didn't specify how we're gonna play that capture-the-flag.  We didn't want to get into some better techniques. So let's expand on this even more. Now we look at ourselves. We're still at our 11 value skill level and we go play a capture-the-flag event with a greater difficulty, that difficulty of 12 once again. But now how we play is different. We're gonna supply that how argument and add that parameter, add that in the mix and we're gonna play like an advanced player. That's an idea. That's a thought. Now we should be able to at least somewhat improve our skill level, right? Well, does anyone notice anything that might potentially be wrong here?  You guys, this is gonna be a bummer, right? Check it out. Ooh. Our advanced playstyle is undefined. It's not gonna work. It errors once again. So I wanna get this idea across, right? And again, this is a bummer, right? This is the call to action that we don't wanna hear but we have to. There is no such thing as playing with advanced tips and tricks. You can't be advanced when you play a capture-the-flag. It doesn't exist and it's so weird, right? I think that this boils down to one idea. This boils down to the same bare-bone basics that you play capture-the-flag. When you play a capture-the-flag and you think there's some good practices or there are the basics that we could do, we could of course, we could prepare for a capture-the-flag event. We could practice and keep getting better and we can pile up. And I'll expand on each of those ideas or each of those different pedestals that we could stand on to help make us better. But we wanna address that as the basics. So here's the thought. Playing like an advanced player or using some advanced capture-the-flag techniques, all that really is is just doing more of the basics, hyper-focusing on the stuff that you should do every single time you get ready for a capture-the-flag event and just amping that up even more and more and more.   That's the idea. It boils down to the advanced. All that advanced play style is that's just taking the basics and doing them more and more and more. The advanced being an advanced player depends on how you do the basics. So let's zoom in on this, right? Let's say, again, there's you, that individual, this our player, right? And you can prepare. That's a new function or some new action, some new verb that we can do with any specific sort of resource. And if you prepare, no matter what you do, how you do it, as long as you prepare, you are still increasing your skill level. You're still getting yourself ready for an upcoming game or a new capsule flag event that you really wanna take seriously. You really wanna play and you wanna hard charge against that game. If you prepare, you'll be ready and your skill level will go up just simply by doing it, by going through the act of preparing. Now, there's one example idea here, right? How do you prepare? Of course, go ahead and read write-ups. The great example of this is over at ctftime.org where you of course would sign up and learn and know all about these upcoming games. But over in their write-ups section, you can learn and read about other capsule flag events, what challenges were present, what tasks were there, what problems did the players have to solve? So you could read those write-ups and while you play capsule the flag or even while you're reading these write-ups, you could try and recreate that challenge. You could write your own write-ups and that's the best way to learn, right? You wanna try and document and know your solutions. Maybe you could write a blog post, you could share an article, you could put it out on the internet, you could put it on Medium, you could put it on LinkedIn, you could put it on your GitHub. It doesn't matter anywhere as long as you do it, as long as you are reading write-ups to learn about other problems and new tools and new vulnerabilities and tax and exploits, that helps you grow. That increases your skill level. If you write write-ups, even better. Your skill level might increase even more than that. We'll have to add that into our little functionality here. If you share the knowledge, if you keep spreading the wealth for everything that you're learning, whether or not it be in a blog post or whether or not it be in a video format, you just wanna share your screen and maybe add commentary over what you're doing and how you're doing it, explaining it to the people that play, to the people that are watching or reading this write-up so that they can recreate it and they learn the same gems that you learned.  You're getting better. When you prepare for other Capture the Flag events and exercises you might play in the future by even just going back and looking at other CTFs, you get better. And that's part of being an advanced player or using the advanced tips and tricks for Capture the Flag. Here's another thought, right? How else can you prepare other than write-ups and other than solutions and sharing? You wanna know your tools. You wanna know what is in your arsenal and how it works and what can be used for what because those are ultimately what you're gonna go to the battlefield with, right? What are the flags to end map or what do you need with Hydra or what can you do with the PyCryptoDome library to solve these things or how can you take advantage of these format string vulnerabilities in a print F function call in a C program, et cetera, et cetera. You wanna know what your tools can do and how you can use them and maximize their potential. And then once those tools don't work for you or if you know that you're gonna be in a new environment if maybe this is a repeat game or it's a special flare or they've discussed what is going to be pertinent in that Capture the Flag competition build your own tools. Prepare your own toolkit so you can come to the fight. If you know it's going to be some red team versus blue team maybe attack and defense game, well, try and get some exploit scripts ready or at the very least just templates that you could use and patch in, load up any of the specific syntax you might need in the moment. So build your own tools along with knowing the tools that you have. I think taking the time to prepare and get ready scripts, functions, programs, command and control beacons, whatever it is, whatever you think is necessary, taking the time preemptively before the game ahead of time to build your own tools that is another part of being an advanced player or having stuff ready for war. Some of you might have seen a recent video out from Live Overflow where he was showing raw footage from his Capture the Flag team playing the Google CTF finals this year and it's like how hacking actually looks. And if you were to take a look at this video and notice a two and a half hour timeline but it's this whole time lapse of them preparing, playing, getting ready for the game and if you'll notice Live Overflow talks about how his team members and everyone that had spent 50 to 70 hours just preparing, building tools, getting ready to come with an arsenal, a whole framework so that they can collaborate, so that they can share what they're doing so that they can fine tune and debug what might be happening in web sockets or proxies or other techniques that might be necessary, they prepared by building their own tools. And I wanna drive that home. That is how you can be advanced. And of course we gotta practice, right? Preparing is one thing but we still have to practice like we play, right? You have to train, you have to keep sharpening that skill and getting the skill level better. Even if it's not an active online weekend Capture the Flag competition but if you take one online resource maybe a war game or anything specific and you practice with that, again, your skill level will increase. You will get better. Sure, this is abstracted away, there are of course other variables and factors and dependencies at play but let me get this straight. Simply doing it, trying, putting in the effort that will help, that helps you grow. So what do you practice with? What are those resources you can actually use to practice? Well, there is a long, long list and I've shared this before, right? Over the wire I think puts out incredible stuff to get smart and up to speed on the Linux command line that you can get into even more binary exploitation stuff. You can do stack smashing and of course smash the stack will showcase a lot of that. exploit.education you get to do more of the binary engineering, binary exploitation. Try hack me and hack the box. They're fantastic for red teaming, penetration testing stuff and of course, a little bit of blue team, a little bit of defensive alongside all the offensive and cryptography, right? There's the Matasano crypto challengers, there's crypto hack.org all in this flair and flavor of capture the flag or gamified security education. These things all help you learn just by practicing, exploring and tinkering with all of these and this list goes on and on and on. There's stuff specific to web, there's stuff specific to reverse engineering or any other realm here, mobile applications, steganography, more and more the list goes on and on and there's even more. This is not completely comprehensive and here's the next thought. Here's the third piece of the pie or the three pieces, the three P's, right? Practice, prepare, pile up, pile up that will still help you grow. Pile up resources and that adds just a little bit to your skill level because you're building out your repertoire, your archive, everything that you might have seen when you write write ups, when you discover a new tool, when you understand a new technique or read through some new programming paradigms, whatever the case may be, pile up all that information and save it for yourself so that you can use later in the future. So what do I mean by that, right?  Even if you don't end up writing a write up, you still wanna have the breadcrumbs, the pieces, some of the syntax that you might have used that gets complex and long and maybe you forget it in the future and along with that, keep a library, keep track of all of the tools that you use and what purpose you might have used them for. Are you looking at some web challenge or are you looking at a mobile challenge? Well, what are you gonna end up using right away? You could build out your own sort of checklist or your own cheat sheet of all the things that you might think of and help you remember if you don't think of them in the future. Having that whole reference, being able to pile up all that information, that is what's gonna help you. That is what keeps you growing and what makes you more of an advanced player using the advanced tips and tricks. And personally, I think that is the sweet spot. I think those are the secret ingredients to help make you better, to help you grow. So as long as you exist, right? As long as you want to keep playing, capture the flag and growing and learning, while you are in the world, right? I think you should practice. I think you should prepare. I think you should pile up all that information and I think you should play, capture the flag, put it all to the test. Now you could put whatever difficulty you want in here, you could play a hard CTF, you could play a beginner CTF, you could do whatever you'd like. But this loop right here, right? This iterative process, that is what is going to keep you growing. If you practice, prepare, pile up, and it doesn't matter what order these are in, right? You could move this up and down and left and right as long as you do it with whatever resource that you find most comfortable with however way you do it, get hub, blog post, videos, try hack me, hack the box, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.  And that's the way to do it. Once you do this enough, you could take on whatever CTF you might like. You could take on that super hard, insane, incredible, difficult, capture the flag that you wanted to play. You get to choose. It is entirely up to your own input and how you're gonna play. Well, you're gonna play like an advanced player because you took the basics, you took the bare-bone essentials, what you should do when you're playing smart, what you wanna get better, and you just kept doing it over and over and over again.  Okay, well, hey, that is all I've got for you guys. Thank you so, so much for tuning in. I know, hey, maybe this was a let down. Maybe this was a bummer. Maybe you were looking for the secrets. You were looking for the one-stop shop to make you an advanced player and advanced capture the flag hacker, or red teamer, or penetration tester, and no, there is no shortcut. It's just putting in the work. It's playing and preparing and gathering all of that information. Stockpiling everything you learn so that you can use it again in the future and you keep getting better. You keep increasing your skill level. But hey, if you guys have any questions for me, don't be a stranger. I am more than happy to chat. Go ahead and reach out. You can find me. There's my email up there, johnhammon010 at gmail.com. Of course, I have a pretty cheesy YouTube channel where I showcase a lot of capture the flag video writeups and a lot of security events and war games and conferences and talks and other fun stuff. So I hope you could please go check out that YouTube channel. I am, of course, on Twitter. There's my GitHub. There's LinkedIn. I, by no means, a hermit. So if you wanted to cyber-stalk me, you can definitely track me down. But thank you so, so much for tuning in and listening to this talk, everyone. I hope you got at least a little gem. Some nuggets out of this. I know it wasn't some earth-shattering thing how to be an advanced player, but it boils down to the basics. It boils down to what we know we should always be doing, but sometimes we just let it slip by. You keep on the grind. You keep playing. You keep practicing and you grow. That's how you do it. Thank you so much, everybody. I hope you enjoyed the rest of Vulcan and I will see you. It sounds so funny. It's like a YouTube video outro, right? I'll see you next time. Wee-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!


Hi everyone, Joe for Jasper's CaseBreaks.com, coming at you with 2019-2020 Panini Mosaic Basketball Pack Break No. 193, done a lot of these, Random Team Break No. 193 with six mixer spots being given away. So as always, we're going to do the break itself first and then at the end we'll re-randomize your names and we'll see who gets those mixer spots. So for the break itself, five and a one, six times, one, two, three, four, five, and a one, six and final time. We got Aaron down to Daniel, five and a one, six times, one for the teams, two, three, four, five, and a one, six and final time. After six times we've got the Sacramento Kings down to the Minnesota Timberwolves. All right, so I'm not going to read off all these names right here, but there's the first group right there, Chris Erickson, Grizzlies maybe in this little pack break, and Stephen Bayless, Pelicans, you never know. All right, let's sort by column B, let's print, let's rip. No trade windows in these little pack breaks, as always, and then we'll re-randomize all the names again. New dice roll, separate list to see who gets those final mixer spots, which will be happening right after this. All right, Kendrick Nunn, NBA debut green, that'll go to Stephen Bayless and the Miami Heat. He's got some upside. Kendrick Nunn, especially in the playoffs, if he goes off in the playoffs with Tyler Hero and Jimmy Butler and the rest, Bam Adebayo could raise his stock significantly. All right, the pink camo exclusives right here, Aaron Gordon, DeMar DeRosin, and rookie Kyle Guy for the Kings, Aaron S with the Kings, so there you go. So nice Kendrick Nunn, nothing earth-shattering in the pink camos, but the whole point of this break, as you know, is to try to win those mixer spots. Phillip down to Paul, let's roll it, let's randomize it, five and a four, nine times. So top six after nine, good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and ninth and final time. After nine times, we've got Aaron down to Chris, apologies to you, seven through 30. We'll get him next time, we'll get him next time. Congrats to Jeremy Agno, the coach, Paul Nixon, Clinton, Phillip, Paul again, and Robert. There you go, better on this one, Paul. Robert down to Jeremy, congrats to you six, you are in that mixer. Coming up next with Nick, I'm Joe for Jasperjasecasebreaks.com, I'll see you next time for the next one, bye-bye.
