On Linux there are a lot of different ways of getting information about your computer. You can use H-top or top, you can use B-top, you can use B-pi-top, you can get information using things like LM sensors.  But most of them tend to be very, very text centric. They are going to throw a lot of numbers at you and even if they do have some graphs or whatever, they're usually either not that great or they're in the terminal, right? And a lot of people don't care for the terminal. Now there are many different GUI options for getting system information. So you can use the system monitor for GNOME or KDE or whatever and you can get a lot of that information. But they're either lacking in some information or they're not all that good looking. So what I want to do today is talk about an application called Mission Control. Now Mission Control is an application that does a lot of stuff that other system monitor applications do. It gives you the information on your system. It does a good job at that. But it does so in a very nice package. So today we'll take a look at Mission Control. Before we jump in, if you would leave a thumbs up on this video, I'd really appreciate it. It really does help the channel. So let's go ahead and take a look at Mission Control. So this here is what it looks like now. I will just be 100% up front about this. I'm using a window manager. I'm not using a desktop environment. So if you're using GNOME, this will probably look even better because you're going to have a system that kind of fits the adwaita slash lib adwaita or whatever, you know, theming that goes on there, right? I don't really have that, but it still looks even nice here inside of Qtiles. So let's talk a little bit about what it gives you. So on the first pane, you have access to a graph of all the information on your system. You can get information on your CPU, your memory, all of your connected and mounted disks, all of your network ports, including virtual ports. So if you are using a virtual machine, it'll give you information on your virtual machine network as well. And it also gives you information about your GPU. Now one of the things I like about Mission Control so much is that it has all of this stuff. A lot of the system monitor applications always, they give you CPU and they give you memory and they'll probably give you network. That's basically it, right? So let's just give you an example. If we take a look at Btop here, you have access to the memory, the disks, the network and the CPU and the memory. That's basically it. So you actually have the processes, what I mean is the memory, the processes, the CPU, the disks and the network, right? It doesn't give you access to your GPU. It doesn't give you access to any virtual networks. And it doesn't do a fantastic job of splitting off the disks in terms of like graphing the usage of them, right? It gives you a sense of where you are in terms of usage, in terms of how much, you know, gigabytes you're using on that disk. And it does give throughput on the disk that you're using, but it's not in graph form, right? It's just little numbers here that kind of flash up as the disk is used. On Mission Control, you can see a full on graphic representation of your disk usage, along with all the information you'd want. So active time, read, write speeds, average response times, capacity, things like that. The one thing that it doesn't give you is how much you're actually using of that particular drive.  So it does lack some information, but I like the fact that this gives you read, write speeds. I like the fact that it gives you the average response time and the capacity and a lot of stuff. And it gives it to you for every drive that you have mounted in terms of memory, it gives you in use the available, the committee, the cash, the swap that's available and things like that. In terms of CPU, it gives you everything that you'd expect it to have. So utilization, the speed that is currently running at the number of processes that you're running, the number of threads, the uptime for your CPU, the base speed, the sockets and all that stuff, right? Everything you'd want to know about your CPU is right there along with a very colorful graph that represents the usage as it goes along the timeline, right? In terms of GPU, we also have utilization clock speed, power draw, which is very important for like, especially if you're very close to the PSU capacity on your computer, you can kind of keep an eye on what your GPU is drawing. So that's really nice. The memory usage, the memory speed, the temperature of your GPU. So all of this information in a very nice package. And that's even just kind of like half of what this does. If all this did was just show you some nice graphs and give you this information, that'd be enough for me to be honest with you. But it also has a processes list. So you can go up here to apps and it will show you all of your running apps and processes. Now I will say that it does not like distro box all that much to tell you the truth. So if I go to a scratch pad here and do distro box list, you can see that I only have one distro box actually up and running, which is my arch distro box. All the rest of them are shut down. And yet for whatever reason, you can see that it's actually showing the distro box of Gen2, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu LTS, even though none of those are running. The only one that's running is Arch. So why that keeps coming up in the memory and CPU usage? I'm not actually sure. They shouldn't because they're not running. So I'm not sure if that's a distro box issue or a mission control issue. So just kind of keep that in mind. Everything else though is all listed here. You can sort by CPU up and down. You can sort by memory up and down. You can sort by disk up and down. And you can sort by PID up and down, right? You can also, if you wanted to find something that you wanted to kill, you can just right click and click stop or four stop application. And that would kill the process. Now it doesn't give you the range of Siggins that say H-Top does. So if we go back here and do H-Top, we can actually see also, there's the problem with Deckmaster right there. It uses a lot of CPU and I'm not sure why. I always end up having to kill it. So we'll actually do that now. So hit F9, right?  Whereas Mission Center really doesn't. So what's even more interesting is that it doesn't show Deckmaster here inside of the app section. So I'm assuming that we're going to find Deckmaster down here somewhere and probably in the processes somewhere. Let's see here. Actually, what we should be able to do is just sort by that. So OBS is taking up most of the CPU. What's interesting is the sort functionality here is a little wonky. Oh, it does it by... Oh, there it is. Right there. For stop application and goodbye. So I really, really like this layout. It gives you the apps and processes. And I find this section here to be just super useful and very aesthetically pleasing, right? It gives you a lot of information in a very pretty package. And I don't know what more you could ask for to be honest with you. Now I will also say this, their pace of development is pretty impressive. Just a couple of months ago, this came out and they're already on the third version of it, maybe even more than that now. And they continue to improve it and add features. So in this most recent release, we actually got the ability to interact with this list. So before you couldn't interact with the apps and the processes. You couldn't kill them. You couldn't sort them, whatever. Now you can. So their pace of development is actually very impressive. So that's another point in its favor. So that's mission control. It's actually really, really well done. And I highly enjoy it. I'm not much for GUI applications. Now you guys know me. I'm a nerd, therefore I have to use the terminal. It's kind of in the job description. So I usually, you either use B top, which I showed you earlier or H top, one of those two, right? But I do enjoy a good looking application and mission control is that. So I'll probably add this to my repertoire of applications. And if you want to, you can as well. It is available via a flat hub. I'm not sure if it's available via a snap or anything like that. I just installed the flat pack. It was easy as pie. So that's it for this video. If you have thoughts on mission control, you can leave those in the comments section below. If you haven't already, leave a thumbs up on this video. I'd really appreciate it.

Lipton Tee and Lipton Soup present Inner Sanctum Mystery. Darling Irene Wicker. Good evening friends of the Inner Sanctum. This is your host inviting you in through the squeaking door. Ease yourself in. The welcome fat is out. Pick yourself a place to stand. You have several choices. You can stand in awe, or stand against, or stand rooted to the spot. Or if you find you can't stand it at all, just stretch out on the floor and lie still. You'll have plenty of company there before we get through with tonight's list of victims. Thank you, Mr. Host. I don't think I'd enjoy that company. Well, not very lively, Mary. In fact, you may find them a little stiff at first, but they won't interrupt if you want to talk. And you know I do want to talk, Mr. Host. So as opposed you'll go greet your other visitors while I have a little chat with our Lipton listeners. You know, folks, sometimes when you're trying to describe a thing, you find it very hard to think it's just the right word. But that doesn't apply when you set out to describe Lipton T. But Lipton is so different from other T's. Its flavor is so extra special that there's a special word to describe it. Brisk. Yes, brisk is the T expert's word for full-bodied, tangy flavor. Oh, but then why bother with words when Lipton itself can tell you so much more? You'll taste the difference right away and discover how much Lipton's brisk flavor adds to your enjoyment. Yes, with Lipton you get all the goodness nature puts in the T. So for deep down satisfaction, folks, spin your cup with brisk-flavored Lipton T. That's a good idea, Mary. And now, friends, if you'll just reach over and switch off those harsh, bright lights, we'll begin our story of The Creeping Wall by Sigmund Miller, starring Irene Wicker in the role of Karen Jeremy. Just let the soothing darkness envelop you like a straight jacket. You'll be surprised how nervous you'll feel if you care it now. Can you think of anything more absurd than being afraid of the walls in your own home? Why, I should feel that way. I don't know. My husband, Horace, seems to think it's just a case of nerve. Walls are just made of wood and plaster.  Once while sitting alone and reading, I had an odd sensation that the walls were tilting. I looked up, and sure enough, they were all leaning toward me. I closed my eyes, but when I opened them again, they were all sprayed again. Oh, it was a horrible experience, but a much worse thing happened to me last night.  I was alone and too late at night. Suddenly, I noticed through the vanity mirror that the wall behind me was a little closer, quite still for a moment. And I turned around, and it was closer. You have to experience it to know what a dreadful feeling that is. Then I heard a crunchy sound. The opposite wall also had moved nearer. I screamed, only a whisper. Then all the four walls began to hem me in. It moved nearer and nearer. I could feel the cold of the walls filling the remaining space of the room. I was going to be crushed to death. There was a book of matches on the vanity. I didn't imagine, held it near the cold wall. It stopped moving. They were afraid of the heat. And the match went on. The walls began to move again. I lit another match. It held it until it drained itself out in my hand. I frantically lit another one. The light, it bled up, and then it died out. The walls began to move. They were just into the way now. And one of them touched my hand. I think cold and dreadful. In an agony of terror, I beat against the walls, and I screamed at every breath of life. Karen, what's the matter, dear? Don't let them go. Stop beating the walls. Karen, what is the matter with you, dear? Oh, baby. The walls were closing in on me. I had to light matches to stop. I'll never forget it so long as I live. Well, nightmares are always frightening, dear. You threw the covers off, and the room's very cold. That's what probably brought it on. You forget it, darling. The dream won't come back. We chopped for a while, and Horace dozed off. But I remained wide awake. I tried to sleep, but I couldn't. I even tried counting sheep. While I was counting, I got a sex feeling the walls were rarely closing in on me. I continued to count. 14, 15, 16, 17. The walls were coming closer. I mustn't believe it. It was my imagination. It was only in mind. 18, 19, 20, 21, 20. It's hovering over me. It's moving silently this time. 23. Get the water quickly. The curtains are on fire. They catch on fire. The book of matches on the floor, Karen. Here's a burnt-out match. I didn't do it. Oh, believe me, Horace, I swear... You haven't been feeling well lately. I think you ought to see Dr. Gustafson. I'm not sure... I wouldn't do anything like that. You probably weren't aware of it. Probably nothing serious. Dr. Gustafson's a very good man. No, no, no, no, no, Karen. He'll be a baby, darling. All of us get ill sometimes. Dr. Gustafson is a little man with sharp eyes. I told him the whole story about the walls and the dreams. Tried to be at ease. I was near on his desk in the bike park. I kept fixing my hair. It didn't look so well today. Two new gray hairs, Karen, had to pull out. He kept watching me very closely. All the time asked me questions about my youth. I told him everything, even about winning the beauty contest. When I was 17, he seemed very interested. Mrs. Jeremy, it seems to me you have an obsession of being beautiful. You're not as young as you used to be. Neither is your appearance. That's why you're afraid of close scrutiny. That may account for your fear of close spaces. Went on like that, looking at me as though I were a drab middle-aged woman. He didn't like me, and I didn't like him. I just liked the way he spoke to me. The way he watched me turn. What the letter opened her down? I was just holding it. You will hurt somebody holding it that way, darling. No harm was meant to him. The best thing you should do, Mr. Jeremy, is to get larger living quarters. Your wife may be suffering from acute claustrophobia, among other things. I was glad to visit that horrid little dr. Guttiff and didn't influence Horace at all. He still loved me. He told me I was the loveliest woman in all the world. One day he came home in great excitement. Darling, I've got a wonderful surprise for you. I've just bought the famous Meadow mansion. Oh, Horace, don't be careful. You must my hair. What is this Meadow mansion? Well, it belongs to John Akin. You know, the famous naturalist. He was killed for a fellow note of accident. It's a huge house, and you won't be troubled by walls ever. Come on now, darling. We have to see the agent sign lots of papers. We went to the agent's office. Mr. Swanson was his name. A very friendly old man. He kept looking at me all the time he was talking. Mr. Swanson, we'd like to take occupancy in the house right away. I don't think it's a good idea, Mr. Jeremy. You see, there's still another Mr. Akin's property in the house. Oh, well, we don't mind that. You don't understand. It's specimens, Mr. Akin's, that are animals and snakes. They're waiting to be shipped to the zoo. Well, there's nothing to worry about. They're in cages, aren't they? They're very unpleasant, if they weren't. If you had to death of snakes myself, I'd be only waiting a few more days. They'd all be shipped out. Oh, don't worry about it. We leave the animals strictly alone. We've just got to move in right away. Well, the house is so big. I guess you can manage. Here are the keys and good luck to you both. That old mansion was magnificent. It was big and gracious. The rooms were huge and beautifully decorated. The high ceilings gave you a wonderful feeling of freedom. But the drawing room was the loveliest of all. A large prison chandelier hung in the middle of the room, and the walls were paneled halfway up to the ceiling. But most exciting of all, each wooden panel had a darling little mirror set into it. There were easily a hundred such mirrors.  You could be imitated of yourself anywhere in the room. It has all the breathtakingly beautiful. Except for a picture on the wall of a very flashy-looking woman called Delilah. Well, darling, how do you like on your home? Oh, it's wonderful, Horace. I love it all, everything. Except that picture. We mean Delilah? Well, that's a fine painting, dear, of a very beautiful woman. She looks evil to me. Darling, I do believe you're jealous. You needn't be. She isn't half as pretty as you are. Alice, Alice, answer the door, please. We didn't talk about the picture anymore, because Mr. Swanson, the agent, came in to see how we were getting on. I left Horace talking to him, and I wanted him to the next room.  There were mostly snakes and leathers in the cages. All of them are quite motionless, except one was labeled Bushmaster Benzuela. Very odd name for a reptile. Carefully ugly, yet it fascinated me. Some four-feet long, fat and clumsy-looking, yet it slid around the cage with wonderful grace, kept moving round and round, trying so hard to get out. It looked at me pleadingly, and then I found my hand on the safety catch. I drew it away in horror. We kept going round and round for a glass wall. I've been madly in love with walls so close they touch you all the time. I remembered what a terrible feeling it was to be frightened of walls. Then suddenly this snake was in the middle of the floor. It's out of the cage. Stay still, Karen. I was only wondering how it had escaped from the cage. It lay there in the middle of the floor with its head out of the mood. It slid in a wide circle to offer us a missus one. It's not a nice way to make it. I'm really sorry we had to lose the Bushmaster's valuable reptile, and we could have used it in another story. But that's the way it is in our business. Our losses are terrific. Houses burned down, money is stolen. To be honest, every week it's something else. It's simply murder. You do have a lot of trouble, don't you, Mr. Hose? Mary, we have so much trouble. I'm in a sanctum. Even our troubles have trouble. I think there are times when all of us feel that trouble is piling up on us. Would you know, friends, I've found a good way to get over that feeling. Just say to yourself, I'm going to relax and have a cup of Lipton tea. Then when you're comfortably seated with your tea cup within easy reach, would you mind something pleasant to think about? That Lipton tea, for instance, notice Lipton's deep amber color in its welcome, familiar fragrance that's so tempting, then tasty, and discover how really delicious that brisk flavor is. Just for real enjoyment, any time during the day, just take a few minutes out to enjoy a piping hot cup of brisk flavored Lipton tea. Oh, I certainly give you a suggestion to try, Mary. And our friend, if you'll give me your hand, I'll give you one with a story. Or would you rather take yourself in hand?  And it won't be a bad idea to grit your teeth and square your shoulders at the same time. By the way, if you can do all those things at once, let me congratulate you, you're quite an asset, Mary. Here she is, Karen Jeremy. I was ill for a long time. I don't remember how long, weeks, maybe months. Horace never spoke about that horrible afternoon. Not for a while I stopped thinking about it. I liked my new home. That old man team was such a beautiful place, I rarely left it. I loved best of all the drawing rooms with its darling little mirrors and the wooden panels. I could see myself from all sides. It was so much fun. My absurd fear of walls was beginning to fade away. There's only one thing that irritated me. That was the picture of Delilah. I was determined to get rid of it. Karen, stop blaring at that picture. I don't like it, Horace. I wish we'd get rid of it. It's a fine work of art, why? I don't care. An evil picture to me. Karen, look here. You're just jealous of her. You're jealous of any beautiful woman, even if she's only a painting. You don't care for me anymore. That is a ridiculous thing to say. You know it's not true.  That picture is staying right where it is. Out for your own good. I'm going out for a walk. And Karen, I absolutely forbid you to touch that picture. I'm in it. I've been in that there for quite a while. Steering that picture that was upsetting my life with Horace, he was always kind and gentle with me for the first time he'd ever lost his temper. I looked at Delilah with a gleam of white teeth between her full lips.  She seemed to be laughing at me. I made up my mind. Horace would understand. I got a knife from the kitchen and I pulled the chair over to the picture. And I stood up on the chair, then began to fly. It's no business of yours. Go away, Alice. Oh, you mustn't do that, Mr. Jeremy. We'll be angry. I told you it's none of your business. Please. Please come down off that chair. You're destroying a beautiful painting.  I'll teach you to interfere. I've put up with you for a long time. Nobody's ever dared to slap me.  That's what you are, a hag. For years I've pampered you. I've always told you how beautiful you were, how lovely you looked. Well, maybe you were beautiful once, but couldn't be me. Myself and the panel... My hair was all untied. He would never believe I didn't do it. Look at me in that piercing, sad way. No, he mustn't see the body. I must hide it before he gets back. Blood on the carpet, too. I took a scatter rug and carefully placed it over the spot. I waited for Horace to come home. Chandelier seemed to be lower. All walls. They seemed to be close. They sat there fighting out that old carrot. Praying and praying that Horace would come home. As soon as he came, I'd put my arms around... The door not turning. Oh, my darling, darling. It was all my fault. Please forgive me, Horace. I can't bear you being angry with me. Please, may you forgive me? That's all right, Karen. I shouldn't have lost my... What happened to the painting? It's cut. You can't cut it all? It's really damaged. I'll get Alice to take it over to the art shop. Maybe they can repair it. Well, Alice isn't here. She's gone to get her blue cork from the tailors. Karen, that is not true. Alice got that tote this morning. Where is she? I don't know where she is. Karen, you do know. Where is she? She was here just a little while ago. She...she must have gone out. Alice! Alice! I'm going to find out. No, no. Please don't leave me. Please, Horace. All right, tell me where she is, Karen. Anything. Karen, did you do anything to her? No, no, nothing. You're not telling me the truth. Something has happened to her and you're hiding it. Now I'm going to find it. She must be somewhere. No, no. No, she isn't in the house. Of course she's not here if you don't know where she is. I...I didn't mean that. I'm going to look around. There's blood on the floor near the closet. Yes, I...I cut my finger. The closet is locked. Have you the key, Karen? No. No, I don't have it. Karen, give me that key. Dr. Gustafson, Karen, maybe you can help me. Please don't... I'll be back as soon as I can. He left me in the room. I looked at myself in the mirror. Oh, my beauty was gone. It wasn't beautiful anymore. My face was all wrinkled and pale. My hair hung down lifeless. Harry, see me now? I looked evil. I bolted the door. I didn't want him to come back and see me looking this way. The walls were moving again. They were very clever. They waited for Harry to leave. They were afraid of him. Once again in the mirror. Thousands of me. And something very strange happened. All the images of me began to come out of the mirrors right into the room. It was incredible. They kept coming out of one mirror, going back into another. They began to move very fast. They were moving slowly, but they couldn't fool me. They were moving because the picture of Delilah was nearer than ever. She was still laughing. She was young. I'm sort of sorry about that, Maid. She seemed like a nice sort, and I don't think it was quite kind to be so... You couldn't get an apartment out of him, anyhow. Well, it couldn't have been a very pretty picture, Mr. Hoaxed. No, Mary, but you'll have to admit it was remarkably lifelike. Well, while you're admiring it, I have a few words for our friends listening in. You know, some people tie a string around their finger to remind them of things. Well, I'm not going to ask you folks to do that. All I want you to do is just remember all the good things that I told you about Lipton Tea and let them remind you to get a package of Lipton's tomorrow. Lipton's wonderful brisk flavor, its full-bodied goodness, mean more contentment in your teacup.  Ask your grocer for a package tomorrow. Well, that should be easy to remember, Mary. Well, friends, it's time to close the squeaking door until next Tuesday when we'll get together again for another killing time. Oh, by the way, this month's Inner Sanctum mystery novel is The Pavilion by Hilda Lawrence. Yes, the next week's Inner Sanctum story directed by Hyman Brown and brought to you by Lipton Tea and Lipton Soup. Next week's story is called The Edge of Death. Feeling a little edgy already? Very interesting story. Yeah, it's sort of a mixture of Russian legend and modern psychiatry that tells of a beautiful and sinister old sword. I'm sure you'll get the point. Well, until we meet on The Edge of Death next Tuesday. Good night. Pleasant. Here's a grand dish to get your dinner off to a good start. Lipton's noodle soup. It has all the homemade goodness and real chickeny flavor your family loves. Lipton's noodle soup is seasoned to perfection and it's full of tender, golden noodles. Hard to prepare, not a bit. It takes only a few quick minutes from package to soup, please. Economical, too. Costs less and makes lots more than canned soups. So get Lipton's noodle soup mixed tomorrow. And don't forget to tune in next Tuesday night for another Inner Sanctum Mystery. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Evening. Anchors in big ways.


Can general dropship and stores still work if you don't know what a general dropship and store is Basically, it's a store that sells products from lots of different niches for five six years ago when I first got started back in 2016 It used to be the way to go. Everybody recommended general stores However, over the last few years they've kind of lost their appeal and a lot of people will say to stay away from them because they Don't work. However in this video I'm going to prove to you how they do still work because I've got a great example of a store making 70 grand in profit Every single year running a general store selling lots of different products from different niches If you are yet to get your dropship and business off the ground and you are looking for a product to commit to this Q4 make sure you check out my free PDF download of 127 in demand and trend in current products that are working right now 100% free instant download Check out the top link in the description down below that being said, let's jump straight into the store We're going to be looking at today I found this store using my flipper.com prompts if you are not familiar with flipper.com and you have not signed up You have to it's a 100% free service and what they do is they will email you every time a dropship and store comes Onto the market like this one the reason it is so valuable is because the best people to learn from are those people doing Successfully it doesn't matter what level you are currently at I myself Still learn things almost on a weekly basis from notifications of stores that come up for sale just like this one So we have Rickle. It's a two-year-old Google ads dropship in store It's average margin is 27% with an average monthly profit of over $6,000 So more background information and before we jump onto their Shopify store and take a look at the source of products They are selling their key highlights. So it's a well-designed dropship in store website 750 SEO optimized products This is not a small Shopify store average monthly profit of 27% which we've seen a $250 average order value That's interesting because when you hear most people talk about drop shipping They typically refer to products in the sort of 30 to 40 dollar range They have an automated SMS an email campaign set up and they are an approved Google Merchant Center and Google ads user How much money they make on this business then so over the last 12 months it's generated about quarter million dollars divided by 12 It's just over 20 grand a month with a profit for the last 12 months of $6,000 per month Which is pretty decent given the fact that the average wage here in the UK is 30k This is give or take about double that and running the store of this size I can tell you now if you outsource the right tasks will take somewhere between 5 and 10 hours a week to run Don't just take it from me though So how much time do you spend on this business the main job scope? I'm so currently the only spends around two hours every day So that's if you do Monday to Friday 10 hours a week What's interesting as well It's been the first hour adding new products to the store and test using Google shopping ads when they could get Somebody else to do that at least the adding of the products The second hour is to purchase the orders from the previous day and respond to customer emails again They could be outsourcing that sort of thing for as little as five dollars an hour Reducing the time to just one hour per day to run a business that brings in about 70 grand a year What's really important about this store is it's still current and active. So August last month for 2023 revenue 25k profit $7,000 the products the store everything I'm going to show you in this video is current and active and working Right this second. Let's jump on to their Shopify store then as we can see a nice clean setup and layouts using The Empire theme is it? The Empire theme which is one of the old-school themes. It's called Rickle.co which we've seen Some stock photos get ready for autumn. So obviously that kind of hint or theme of Halloween Some different benefits and information about shopping with the stores to ship from USA to 10 business days So by the sounds of it their shipping products said drop shipping products Which are located in the USA so they can do quick shipping what we can see is there's kind of like an emphasis on these elderly type Products that elderly assistance type products But as we move down there's lots and lots of different collections from home garden kids kitchen household sports supplies pet supplies they have some reviews of like Fitness equipment on their home page as well Which is a different strategy at the bottom though lots and lots of different contact Informations as far as live chat, which is something you only see from legitimate businesses Let's use our koala inspector tool then which will handily point out what their best selling products are and we can see it's this seniors adults Side bed safety rail. It's not a cheap product at 125 dollars And if I order it today, it's going to arrive in two to kind of seven or eight days or so Which kind of confirms the fact that they are sourcing from a local drop shipping supplier We've already seen that they use in predominantly Google ads to sell their products Facebook's average user or certainly from my own experience the biggest buyers are always grandparents the people who would have a Requirement for products like this. I definitely think there's an opportunity for these types of products on Facebook itself If we scroll down take a look at their design and everything is very simplistic. It's very basic Very much well suited for the person who would most likely have a requirement or be looking to buy this product Everything is really really textbook related products Straight into a looks reviews looking type app. So we've seen how much money they make in we've seen the setup of the store We've seen their best selling product Let's jump on to aliexpress and do a quick search for elderly bed rail And what we can see is there's kind of numerous very very similar examples So we have this one, which is $18 this one $26 this one $82 which is quite expensive $17 22 23 26 18 75 22 21 so the going rate for products like this certainly one that's very very similar 23 for this one 28 for this one. Let's say we go towards the kind of top end of $30 they're selling this product for 125 dollars So they're making some very healthy profit margins here before we go any further though a quick word on Advertising Google versus Facebook because this is super super important when it comes down to your product selection when you're Advertising a product in order for it to be successful and in order for you to be effective and for it to work You have to consider what frame of mind your consumer is in Somebody who is on Google searching for a product probably has their payment information ready They have that intent and they're in that mindset of if they find the right product They're going to buy it somebody who is on Facebook is not in that very same mindset Unless you're advertising inside the Facebook marketplace people aren't in that buying mindset Which means the type of products you sell You have to sell them in such a way that forces somebody to take time out of their day to stop scrolling through their newsfeed to stop Watching funny cat videos or whatever it may be to look at what your product is And unless your creative does such a good job to get somebody to stop doing that And you might be selling the products which they might not necessarily realize they actually need So you add creative almost has to educate people on the reason and highlight the pain point and highlight How your products can solve that pain point for the person even though they may not necessarily be aware of it So if it was me taking on this business looking to scale it I would probably ramp up the amount of money I was spending on Google But then also couple that we've re-tagged in on Facebook So all of those people who have been looking for this product searching for it I want to buy it and have intent of buying something like this But for whatever reason one or another that they don't whenever they go on Facebook They're hit with an ad for the same product to re-spark their memory and respect their minds into making a purchase And so with that being said guys that covers everything I wanted to show you in this video If you're watching this video now, and you haven't got a business up and running yet for Q4 But you want to and you feel like there's a massive opportunity to be had but you just don't know where to start Get on flipper.com get on product research Services and softwares like Minia or drop a spy And your best starting place is those people that already have that proven validation There is no two ways about it with this store that I've just shown you today the products the strategy the store Everything they are doing is working and if it can work for them then it can work for you If you watch in my YouTube videos, then it's probably because you're based in the UK Well, here's a product that we know for a fact works in the United States So the answer is no do ship internationally the answer is no you only ship within the United States These guys are only selling in the United States There's old people in the US and there's old people in the UK if people are buying this in the US People in the UK will also be searching for it as well So if this product speaks to you and you think you can get it to work Then you've literally got hardly anything to lose one of the beauties of drop shipping One thing that a lot of people do not take advantage of is for a couple of hundred quid You can have a business up and running and spend your first hundred hundred fifty pounds on ads to test the waters and see if It's going to work for you too many people hold off waiting for that Golden products that's going to make them all this money But unless you actually go out there and test and get in the trenches and spend a few hundred quid Finding what works and what doesn't work for you Then you'll never actually come across what actually does work for you So just make sure that after you've finished watching and doing your research for today or tonight whenever you're watching this video They actually do something actionable that gets you closer to that result of having a business There's up and running and making money and without being sitting guys.

The Bible says to lean not unto your own understanding, but instead acknowledge Him in all your ways. But why do we do the exact opposite? Meaning this, we would rather lean on our experiences what I felt. I know what I felt when this happened, when that happened. I understand. We are leaning on our experiences. Why is that? Should we do that rather than leaning on the experiences of the men in the Bible who wrote what God gave them? We are to be hearers and doers of the word. Well, you can't do the word if you don't hear the word.   And that is not what the Bible commanded. So I know you felt the spirit and I know it caused you to speak in these unknown languages that go against the Bible, but you felt it. That doesn't make it right. Instead, be wise and follow what the word says and the word only.

I'd love to welcome everybody back to the independent investor channel covering stallion discoveries. This is a very interesting exploration and discovery company and they have properties in the prolific uranium district of the Athabasca region in Canada as well as some gold properties here in the U.S. of note. They just finished their survey work and we are anticipating that those surveys results are actually provided back to the grander audience and I thought it fitting to offer a video as a primer to that information. Why do I do that? The stock has kind of fallen out of favor. The company has been on a land acquisition spree. It has been impressive to note the who's who on who they have really associated themselves with and really buttoned up their properties right next door to some of the most prolific in the regions, especially the Athabasca with the demand over uranium, the need for uranium, and the push toward a greener future to power our world. Uranium has come into massive favor. Now, I think the stock has suffered by account of the stallion discovering being so engaged in their property acquisition as well as completing their recent survey, which we are awaiting results of but do not currently have. Once those results are actually released to the general public, I think we're going to have a better idea of what this three quarter million acre portfolio of property that stallion has been so aggressive to acquire in these prolific regions. And I think it's going to be incumbent upon share owners to note this digression in the stock price as not a bad thing, rather a buying opportunity on the value side of the house. I don't foresee that the results of these surveys that were ran are going to turn back nil results. As a matter of fact, I'm bullish and optimistic on what they're able to share with regard to strategic conductors and targets, areas of focus to really start to hone in on and really understand what if not multiple deposits are available in the Athabasca region and really start to define what has been difficult to define for stallion discoveries up to this point. Now, once those results are turned out, I do anticipate a positive catalyst in the stock price as stallion discovery has digressed to an anemic 10 million US market cap trading at 15 cents on the OTC quality board market here on our US exchanges. So kind of a quiet period for stallion discoveries. I thought I'd shake it up a little bit come out with an anticipatory video. I have no idea when those drill results are going to be forthcoming for the general audience. I'm quite certain that they are inevitable, but whether or not they're going to be a couple of days, a couple of weeks or even upwards of a few months to interpret that data is yet to be determined by stallion discoveries at their discretion. However, the no news in the market and viewing all of the OTC QB stocks as having a problem with access to capital, which stallion discoveries is not in that camp, they are well well financed up for future operations. I think they've been inadvertently lumped in with a category of a company that is struggling. And that is just not the case. Stalion is making huge moves. It's made huge land acquisitions. And it has just recently completed the large survey over their property in the Athabasca region. And I think that's going to be the value stimulus going forward for those of you guys who have not sat through the stallion discoveries coverage. I am in fact paid to provide awareness services for stallion discoveries. Those disclaimers are made possible for you in the description below. You can review those disclaimers at your leisure. I for one do not own a company stock in stallion discoverers, but actually in intimately covering the story and may end up opting to take a position in the company in the near future. So with that guys, we're going to jump into the investor slide deck and presentation, go over the most current updates as they are known to the general public, stay with us guys, and we will jump in and see what exciting things are going on at stallion discoveries. Stalion discovery sits in an interesting place from a value proposition, having the stock price digress to levels not seen in a number of months. Stalion discoveries is currently trading at just over a $10 million US market cap and trades on the US markets OTCQB under the ticker symbol STLNF at a stock price that would see it at 15 cents US.  I think this is a real disconnect and I think the market is really missing something and I think it will is setting up to be a huge surprise when stallion actually does go ahead and report those results of those findings in the Athabasca region in the prolific region of the Athabasca and the vicinity of those companies up there that have been proven to produce massive deposits of uranium. So stand by for roles on that. We will be eagerly awaiting the interp of that VTAM survey that was just flown over the last couple of months. Here is a snapshot of the Athabasca basin and the deposits that stallion discoveries are acquainted with both on the eastern and western sides. Just a few statistics to note here, the Athabasca is one of the most prolific regions in the world. It produces 13.2% of the total world's uranium supply as well as the grade being 20x that of other deposits and other uranium jurisdictions. So it is the who's who. It sports the likes of Cameco with a 15 billion market cap. Everybody is aware and as well as next-gen energy with a $2.5 billion market cap in the same region that stallion discoveries is looking to play in. So very interesting to see the story develop and see the results of the latest surveys that were ran by stallion discoveries on their huge land package in the region and Hathor exploration was in charge of running the survey work and is in charge of doing the interp on the survey work for stallion discoveries. They are a who's who in the region have been used multiple times for major discoveries in the region and we will be eagerly awaiting the results of those test results when they're ready to turn out to the general public. And this is just a snapshot of stallion discoveries mere three quarter million acres of their significant land package in the Athabasca and we're going after a resource here that is in high demand with the energy shift toward more of a greener and sustainable future nuclear works will certainly be forefront in that discussion in powering the world's tomorrow and to establish a land package this significant in the region only speaks to the conviction that stallion has in the region as well as the abutment to some of the existing who's who in the region. I mentioned a couple but there are a number of companies up there that are established producing uranium suppliers to the world market and stallion has aligned with those players in the region. Now in the western Athabasca here gives you a closer snapshot of the property and the unexplored potential there now it is of course unexplored until we can get these survey results turned back we can understand a little bit more about the opportunity that stallion is sitting on and I think that's probably part of the unknown that does not bode well for these young junior miners in the space when there are unknowns it's just an excuse to drive the stock down by a number of different factors none of which are stallion discoveries fault they've been moving in the positive direction it's just unfortunate to see the stock kind of fall out of favor here at the most recessed levels that I have seen since covering the company down close to 85 percent over the last year and trading at a real anemic level here I only look the further that it goes down as more of a buying opportunity here and the catalyst to come when those positive surveys work that has been completed now for about a month on this large land package is finalized and released for public disposition and here is the tried and true roadmap to discovery stallion is not looking to reinvent the process here the vt em survey is complete the conductors interpreting those anomalies and then prioritizing the different target zones and and and then prioritizing the target surveys in each of those respective zones has been the tried and true roadmap to discovery stallion discoveries is looking to follow that same pedigree in the region and it will continue again to be an unknown until we get the data back on the surveys on stallion's large land package that they have ownership over here's a snapshot of where stallion sits with its market cap I've mentioned probably needs to do a little bit more in way of transparency on what they sit on I think the unknown has hurt the stock and we will soon have those answers on how big of an opportunity we're potentially looking at with stallion discoveries as it reflects to the peers in the region but you can see even since this slide was released the market cap has significantly slipped down to about 11 million us trading on the us markets at around 15 cents at the time of this video 15 cents us so I think that there's going to be a value added jump when the results of this if you are bullish on the the potential for the drill results and when those are released I don't think the stock has any choice but to kind of re-rate itself with the investment that's went into the survey and now the newly understood understanding of what stallion is actually sitting on with their large land package stallion discoveries has gold assets to boast in the states both in Idaho and Nevada we will cover those in brief here in just a moment in the following couple of slides so horse heaven is the first project in the states it's in Idaho it is bordering perpetual resources which is valued at a mere 400 million market cap I mentioned that stallion discoveries is flirting with the 10 million market cap and you can see there that their border runs right in conjunction with perpetual resources they own a horse heaven outright this is a resource that is going to be amazing as they start to explore and get the exploration ongoing to really see what type of property that they're sitting on but in true stallion discovery fashion here setting up next to the who's who in the region and and really setting up a nice large land package in a proven jurisdiction like perpetual resources and just the same here Richmond mountain is located in Nevada bordering I-80 gold corp which is also valued at a mere 850 million dollars in market cap stallion discoveries is right next door knocking on the door and trying to get a piece of what has been proven out to be a very lucrative area a very lucrative region prolific as it might stand and it's going to be interesting again to see what type of survey work is done on this area to see what kind of results they have returned back and maybe potentially provide a little bit more clarity on the value proposition and what stallion holds on these gold assets here you can see as covering the company the stock has really slipped as low as it's ever been and I wanted to come out with this video in a time where I felt like the value proposition is only getting richer as the stock has slipped with the recent survey work and the investment in those survey results I think no news has hurt the stock and when the news does pop I would consider a potential rewrite and catalyst to the upside once we understand the results of those that survey work and we're able to extrapolate whether or not stallion is maybe potentially sitting on one of those large if not multiple large discoveries in the region and I know that they're hard at work interpreting that data and we will be eagerly awaiting those results and hopefully it can spur a turnaround in what I consider to be a deep discounted stock price now presuming that a bullish report that comes out is only going to turn the stock back north again and get it back up to those historical levels of valuation where the company deserves to be stallion follows a very disciplined and proven game plan here we've talked about a little bit here but to establish their properties next to neighboring properties that are proven producers in the region acquiring large land packages at reasonable valuations setting themselves up quickly on getting in there and exploring the properties and looking to interpret that data is doing all the right things that a junior minor should do and a junior exploration company at that should be doing and I'd like to see these results turn back and and and see the value proposition really come into its own and start to define what we're actually looking at with this large land package and what type of anomalies could be existing within this large property portfolio the stallion boasts stallion discoveries is always available to answer any questions that you might have you can reach out to Lisa Stewart at stalliondiscoveries.com the website and the link to Lisa's email is there provided for you on behalf of the channel I'd like to thank you guys for following through this update on the investor slide deck I'm eagerly awaiting the results of what I do consider to be a potential stimulus and a catalyst for the company going forward guys thank you so much for tuning in we'll kick you back and we'll conclude the video so we've come out of the investor slide deck here for stallion discoveries thank you so much for joining me for the totality of the video obviously like to be reporting out on stocks that are going up but the market right now is really volatile it's discounting all of the stocks that have perceived weakness and it exacerbates that weakness to the downside I think that's a real mistake with stallion discoveries I think those opportunistic investors have an opportunity to look at pending report outs of the Athabasca survey work that has just been completed in its totality that survey work is being interpreted as we speak and we will be anxiously awaiting the results of that survey work and I do believe that if there is positive there in the survey results that it will be a positive catalyst for the set stock and we'll see a little bit of a basing maybe even some appreciation to a more conducive valuation for the large land package that stallion has in both the Athabasca region as well as here in the states guys thank you so much for tuning into the video

Manuel, we have many discussions about technologies during these few days, namely dedicated to the transformation of business models. So I think it's good to listen to you because you will certainly explain to us also the transformation in international politics related to technologies. So the floor is yours. Thank you, Thomas. So one of the things I find fascinating and that I've seen throughout this conference as well is that if you look back, say, 10, 12, 15 years ago, there was this thesis of the end of history, which I know was very controversial at the time that it was posed, but there was a generalized, there was a certain consensus in the Western world that liberal democracy would move forward and sweep through the world and open markets would do the same and all of the other regimes were on the wrong page, on the wrong side of history and this was going to be a slow process of expansion of this system. Now what's interesting and it's come up in this conference and it comes up repeatedly in events and meetings and gatherings that I attend is that actually that order, the liberal order, the Western-led rules-based order of open markets, porous borders, multiculturalism is very much fighting for its survival around the world. I find that fight to be developing in two very particular fronts. I mean, one is the external front or the external dimension and it's been mentioned here. Within that, the siege of the order I think is taking place in many areas, but I find three of particular importance. One is the rise of China and of course everybody has spoken about the rise of China and if you look at, for example, military spending of China in the 1990s, in the early 90s, it was about 40 billion. The budget this year is about 175 billion US dollars. That's what the government has announced, whether that's the precise figure or not, it's up to debate, but let's say it's 175 billion and so the single most significant case of success of economic development of the last 30, 40 years happens to be of a deeply anti-liberal, anti-democratic country that has actually now begun to defend its model even beyond Chinese borders. So when you go to China, if you went 15 years ago, they would be fairly modest about the validity and efficacy of their system. If you go there today, you will find people that are much more bullish about their system and about how viable it is and useful it is for them, but also for regions around the world. So the biggest development, geopolitical development in the last 40 years seems to point in the direction that actually a well-run, well-managed autocracy does very well in the space of economic development, military development and others. And the argument in China now, by the way, speaking about technology is that technology will help them solve some of the fundamental shortcomings of a centralized system because through AI they're going to be able to solve the information and coordination challenges of a centralized and planned economy and also of an autocratic system that has fewer elections and few social and political rights because through AI they're not going to need the messiness of elections to understand what's happening to their people and react accordingly. So that's the messages coming out of China. The second external development I think is Russia and the autocratic drift of Russia and not just that, but Russia's actions internationally. So if you look at the hacking campaigns and the electoral interference campaigns, I was having a very fascinating conversation with an EU official that works in the EU office that fights disinformation and what you see is that these attacks, whether they happen in the Rust Belt in the US or the Midlands in the UK or France or in Catalonia in Spain, visually these attacks seek to undermine the institutions of the liberal order quite evidently in most instances. I mean, that's one of the features that connects them. But subversively, and this is a point that I think is sometimes missed, they seek to undermine our faith in our capacity to attain objective truths, right? So they attack the intermediation institutions, whether it's the press, political parties or others. So they seek to make us question the truth and the honesty and legitimacy of the institutions we've built. They're fundamentally anti-enlighted in the sense that they seek to undermine our faith in our own institutions and they're having growingly, I think they're having success in various places, but they're clearly growing in intensity. Now, the third external dimension, I think it's the Middle East and if you think about what's happened in the Middle East since the middle of the mid-2000s, but particularly since the Arab Spring, has been a systematic failure to democratize the region, right? I think except the case of Tunisia, some of the places where we thought we would be establishing or seeing democratic regimes emerge have actually gone back to even more autocratic regimes and that's, for example, the case of Egypt, which is particularly salient and significant because of the scale of Egypt, but that's also the case in Libya and we're seeing an autocratic drift in Saudi Arabia, so it varies in perspective and in intensity, but if you look at the region, I think that the general thrust that we're seeing is actually a reversal of the democratization process. So this idea of the liberal order of democratic regimes emerging, of the liberal trading system and others deepening has actually been reversed in a number of places, but particularly I think under attack is the idea of liberal democracy of something that is unavoidable. Now, what's fascinating is that to this external siege, which has been in different, has been there in different forms and shapes for a long time, although punctured by these particular instances as I mentioned, we are witnessing a real implosion of the liberal order from within the liberal countries and this is consistent and here I'm getting to the tech piece and others. So we've seen growing numbers of people within the Western world that question liberal values, whether it is multiculturalism or even democracy. Support for authoritarianism has risen almost consistently across the Western world, a questioning of democratic processes and others. Now, why is this happening? And here I have three fundamental points that I want to make. So we see a great deal of social fracture within the Western world and some people have mentioned inequality and others, but I just want to give you some figures, right? And here is another instance of decoupling, by the way, you started with some contradictions of decoupling of economic growth at the aggregate and prosperity on the average. So in the US, 70% of households in the US have seen no real market income in the last 30 years, right? No real market income increase in the last 30 years. I mean, that's an astonishing figure bearing in mind that the last 30 years have seen very rapid growth at the aggregate in the US, even if you take into account the economic crisis. If you look at, for example, life expectancy in some communities in the US, life expectancy has fallen for the next generation in the US for the first time since the Second World War in some mostly middle-class, wide, economically depressed communities. Child mortality has doubled in some communities in the US again. I mean, this is really shocking data. We only see data like that in countries that have undergone a civil war. So some of you might have seen the work done by Angus Deaton on something he calls the deaths of despair, which is the number of suicides and deaths from opioid abuse. If I could show you a map of how wage stagnation and these deaths of despair overlap, you would see almost a perfect overlap. So there are communities within this liberal Western bloc that have clearly not benefited from the process of globalization and changed to the economy that we've seen over the last 20, 30 years. This is producing a very significant political fracture and this manifests itself in many ways, but I would only point to three that I think are significant. One is an increase of empezymism about the future within Western societies, about the economic future of the next generation. And this is, again, consistent in polls and surveys in the West. A great deal of anti-elitism or a questioning of how the elites function under legitimacy. And again, we've seen this in polls time and time again and we've seen a strong correlation between the sense of anti-elitism and anti-establishment sentiment and support for populism, which is, I think, the third manifestation of this. Now, this is, I think, one of the big puzzles of our era, which is we've seen huge growth in the aggregate. The US returned to pre-crisis GDP levels in 2012. I think the UK was about 2014. Even Spain, after a very deep economic crisis, has returned to pre-crisis GDP levels a few months ago. Spain has never created as many jobs, has sustained as many jobs as it does today. That's at the aggregate level, but when you look at more granularly, lower level, the distribution issue is highly problematic. So we are failing, literally, at the manage of abundance, at the manage of prosperity within our societies. There is something that has changed in the structure of the economy that is leading to a lot of people being left behind and questioning that order. So I'll finish here, because I promise I would be very strict on the time. That was a lot of it to me, but when I think about this conference and when I think about world policy and world governance, I cannot say that I think the most significant thing that I see is that we are in shift, I think we're in a nearer transition, that the liberal order is clearly under siege in a way that it has not been, at least since the end of the Cold War, if not before, but shockingly, it is really undergoing a process of implosion from within the order that is produced in my mind fundamentally by a compensation failure, which has prevented us from transferring gains in wealth and productivity and others to people within society that have simply been left behind of this process. And that picture I think is very worrying. I think very few people would have predicted that we would be here 10 years ago. And I think that unless we find ways, and some of us have spoken of fixing the fracture of our social contract moving forward, the political convulsion we're living will deepen and the world will continue to shift to a more illiberal place where the rights of minorities will not be as respected as they have been, both in the West and in other places. We will live in a world with more walls and less movement of people and less commerce and others. And that basically to me means that we're very much living the return of history. I mean, we're moving back into a world where the fundamentals of political governance, both domestically and internationally, are up for grabs and we enter this debate without knowing where it's going to lead. So for me, that's the backdrop to this conference and that's one of the takeaways that I take home from this and also from this panel because various bits and pieces of this came up. Thank you. Take a moment. Thank you.


So let's say for example, I need to build a nested list from scratch and I've already built out the outer List that I'm going to be working off of mult table and let's say for example I literally want to build the multiplication tables for some x y Constraints, okay. Well, I need to build that and I want to have sort of you know on the first row It would be that row times some number of columns So to speak so we'll say that My rows I'm going to just arbitrarily say ten And then my columns also ten again So the way you think about this is I want to build a multiplication table of Every digit from zero to ten and then see what it's multiplied by With sort of the columns of zero to ten as well So how could I go about building sort of this structure? So to start the way I like to think about this is what I like to do is build a temporary list For sort of each row of my table. So again. Oh, that's not what I wanted for I in Range rows remember range is just going to generate that zero to Whatever number we specify in it. So in this case it would generate zero to nine But we can do some fancy, you know adding and subtracting to fix that But again, I like to build out sort of a row to work off of Row square brackets again the way to think about this is I'm just going to Focus on now this temporary smaller List that currently is empty, but I'm going to add to it as I go through sort of the columns if you will and so That's exactly what I'll do for J in range calls Now I'm using I in J. These are very common variables, especially here For in a for loop typically because I is short for index why we use J Is because it's the next letter after I if we needed to go even further. We would use K That's more just rules of the world, you know Common practice that someone invented once upon a time and we all just sort of did it but anyways We're now dealing with the fact that okay, I am going to just for our sake start with printing I and J Once again, that just it's going to tell me it, you know, it doesn't solve my problem. It doesn't Give me the answer, but you can see it's at least confirming what I thought I'm getting Zero to nine or rather my columns. So I is always going to be zero while I go through all of my J's or my columns of Zero to nine as well. Obviously again, I want to I'll work off of since, you know, zero times anything is just going to be zero I'll do one to ten since I'm looking off of those Well in that case, I'll just build a very simple count that is I plus one times J plus one and the same kind of thing. Oh, I didn't print it Same kind of thing what I should see if I print this out is again, just sort of the multiplication table But not quite built just yet, right? It I just printed so everything's on its own line I haven't built my multiplication table just yet But that's where that temporary row that I worked off of can be beneficial because again that Is now just floating in space and what I can do with it is say row dot a pen I can take the calculated number that I just made rather than just printing it. I Can append it to row And the last thing I will do is I'll just do first a print on that row Now this isn't going to magically it's not the same as storing it in the multiplication table But it's going to look very similar And that's exactly what you can see is now I've created effectively this row. That is the multiplication at any particular X or To any particular location of one of two numbers. So, you know one times one to ten two times one to ten three times one to ten Etc. Etc. But the point is as of right now It's still only constrained it to row and we're only still working off of a a single List a single dimensional list But what I can do is I can come in Finally and so now that I've built out my row I can come in with my mult table And do the exact same thing But rather than just a pin to a single number I can append mult or I can append the entire list to my multiplication table and as a result I'm getting a Multidimensional list Now what I can do with this is I can do some calculations So if or not do some calculations, but do some lookups So mult table if I wanted to know two times I don't know eight. I know that we know that that's 16, but what we should see here is Not because we're doing We're we're adding a one to it So if I were to Remove that if I were to just do Including zeros in this case if I were to just continue including zeros then Mult table two times eight or Referencing the second row and the eighth column I should see 16 oh Okay, okay. This is where I did not run everything. So this is my fault Mult table is now giant because I've technically ran this twice and just to even see this It's gonna be a hideous Mess where I still have all my ones and now I have zeros going on there as well That was my fault So let me start over reset my mult table now run through that and now Without further ado I think that we were working off of eight now the second row at the eighth column should say 16


Everybody forced here up in a couple boxes 21-22 Donner's optic basketball for Jeffrey each Optic hobby here. Good luck Jeffrey Goal vinyl time. Come on. What's up Lee? Yeah, where you been Lee?

Congrats again. We'll get those right out to you


The secrets to eliminating gaps in your final workpiece Well, I would work here's Paul Carson here small workshop guy Doing my samurai carpenter workbench. This is the top to the workbench The base is already finishing down below and I want to talk about When you do your final drive fit before you start gluing up making sure you've gotten rid of any gaps that you don't want the first secret to eliminating these gaps that you don't want is To real be very very precise when you're dimensioning your lumber Yeah, if you have it if you can afford it to have a good jointer and to have a good thickness planer and Have your table saw tuned up so you're getting very precise cuts And so obviously take a lot of effort to measure precisely probably using very thin Pins or pencils So and knowing whether you're taking the line or leaving the line when you do your cut Just leaving or taking a line can make a little bit of a difference if two pieces are done differently So learn to do that and be very precise now let's suppose you're like a ninety nine point nine percent of the rest of us and No matter how you try you don't really cut that precisely You could do a nice drive fit you pull it all together with the clamps like I did here Although I've taken the clamps off now And so some of this might have relaxed a little bit But you find a gap that you don't want in your final piece Well, then I would recommend you get some feeler gauges If you don't have these they're pretty inexpensive. I use them all the time for all sorts of things So get your feeler gauges have one of your blades out Go along the gap and see if you can figure out where it's hitting Because the reason you have a gap if you pulled it together with a clamp is that something is hitting before this is hitting So you need to find out where that is. That's why these are so Phenomenal for that purpose. So I go in here and say, all right. Is this all hitting? No, you know that one's all right. That one's okay This was a little bit of hitting Well, no, it's hitting on inside here So I might want to shave the inside edge of this a little bit and then oh look at that one That's really not able to go in there. So I'm hitting when I pull the end piece I'm hitting right down here first. That's stopping the pole and that's leaving the gap So then I use painter's tape and I make notes to myself I don't want to be doing Trimming away stuff that doesn't need to be trimmed away. So in this case I've made a note to myself to do this bottom gap only. I also tell myself Don't worry about a big opening there because I'm going to cover it. It's going to be hidden anyway So it's internal and so I don't have to worry about it too much This is not internal. This is so I want this closed up even if I have a large hole there That's my recommendation. I also recommend you consider a really good flashlight. I like to have a rechargeable one This is a DeWalt 12 volt.   You can even leave a bad comment. I don't care. I'll I'll just eliminate it and share and Subscribe if you haven't already subscribed to my channel. Thanks small workshop guy signing off


Hello. The first annual one, that was my very first act as called pastor of this church. I wasn't even, I wasn't even working officially yet, so an unofficial act, but it was a lovely afternoon and this is another lovely afternoon. I'm the pastor of this church and I welcome you to our space, wonderful space for celebrations and for productions and for, especially for drumming and dancing today. There are facilities to the side of the building over there behind the black van if you need them. And please go through all the wonderful vendors here because they worked hard to get these things together for you. I would like you to know that this land was originally inhabited by the Abenaki people and it was stolen from them and so we want to acknowledge that. My brothers and sisters who were taken from native lands, Africa against their will and it is through their toil, sweat and blood that brings us where we are today. We acknowledge this as a truth and it is foundational to what is done here by the work of the Sheetah Projects, which commits to policies and practices of cultural equality to benefit current and future generations. And I do want to welcome you all here with, I'm so happy to see you all sitting in the sun, hopefully there will be more sun and less wind, right? Anyway welcome, welcome and now Heather will introduce the other things. When they went to Ghana they got me the stress. I know we're battling a little bit of the wind today so thank you for doing that with us. We welcome you, we're so delighted to share another afternoon of African dance and drumming and energy and love. So thank you so much for being here. I just want to let you know I'm turning my back to the wind so hopefully that helps a little bit. Sheetah Projects is a non-profit organization. We are thrilled that we got that designation from the IRS and so any donations that you may feel free to make are tax deductible and we are promoting diversity and education in the schools and in other venues that we can do that. Just getting out that through the drumming and the dancing and bringing people together because we're all the same and we want to just promote that in all that we do. We also collect and ship things to Ghana to help the needy. We've sent off three containers with computers and bicycles and making the difference in the lives of a lot of people. We want to thank our sponsors today who are Vermont Arts Council, the Northfield Savings Bank, we have the City of Montpeliers Community Fund that has generously supported us. We have our friends from Food Hub who are here keeping you warm with coffee and chocolate so thank you so much for that. I want to say like today is very welcome and we want to send a special thank you to our board members. We have Rob Griffin who is out directing traffic and bringing us all in safely. He and his wife Lata have built the stage and gotten us ready to be here today. Numa who is on our board who is also here helping us and taking pictures to make sure we can memorialize this event and our co-chair who is going to be out in just one moment the Amate and he I want to let you know is a music producer and a musician obviously here but he does that as part of his other job of many and he has in 2019 had won the New Hampshire Governor's Arts Award for Arts Education. I just want to get this right and is New Hampshire's artist laureate for 2022 to 2024 and most recently the winner of the Ghana Music U.S. International Collaboration and so it is with that that we begin our celebration and so I will hand it over to the musicians and I thank you and I hope you enjoy every bit of this afternoon. So thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. Hello. Can I see your hand up? Oh wonderful. Great. SIDA African Cultural Project SIDA projects incorporated SIDA means Thanksgiving and appreciation. So that is what we stand for. We appreciate diversity. We appreciate community. We have to appreciate everything that we do, the help you give us and today our guest artists are from Acuaba, Duns ensemble in New Hampshire. Acuaba is a shanty word that means welcome, Acuaba, welcome. When you arrive in Ghana you see it boldly written at the airport Acuaba that means you are welcome home. So they are also here. We welcome them and we welcome you as well. So get yourself ready to rock with us. Thank you so much. This evening or this afternoon so we can all support, we can all show the love all the way from New Hampshire to Africa to Vermont. Cultures here, cultures here. So we have Ghana and we have Guinea in the house. So two different cultures here. First right on the shore of Acra and we're going to give you a rhythm and song called the Pan logo. The rhythm became very popular in the 1957 when Ghana get independence. It was a celebration rhythm and everybody was cheering and having a good time with that. So that's what you're going to hear. That's what we're going to play for you, the Royal Drums, the Fonto Front Drums. It's going to be a short break just for you to see. We want you to... I've been coming to drum in this church building closer to the stage and let's do just some two minutes. I'm in students. Yay. Thank you so much. Thank you. They played for you a rhythm called Jolly. Jolly. Thank you, drummers. Thank you. Please, if you are here and you are interested in drumming. We're going to play a couple of songs from Ghana and then we're going to invite people to join us as well, to dance together. I'd like to share a very simple song with everyone. If you know the song, you can join along too. This is called Funga Allafia Ache Ache. Funga Allafia Ache Ache. It means praise, praise, may peace be with you. Praise, may peace be with all of us. Ache Ache, peace, peace. So I'd like you to recite this with me together please.  If you can recite that with me together. So here we go. We all say together. Funga. Funga. Funga. Allafia. Allafia. Allafia. Allafia. Ache Ache. Ache. Ache. Ache. Ache. Ache. Funga. Funga. Allafia. Allafia. Ache Ache. Ache Ache. Ache Ache. Ache Ache. Okay, now we're going to sing together. It goes like this. Funga. Allafia. Ache Ache. Can we try that? Funga. It's going to sit down. And it's a master drama too. A great job in it to do, you know. Josh Williams. Josh Williams. Good singer. And then I have a brother here. He's a balafonist. And he's from Guinea. West Africa. Give it up. Let's give it up to our brother. Michael Ossenda. Beautiful dancer. It's my part nine crime, you know. We do this together. Let's give it up to Manchester. New Hampshire. Thank you. Thank you. We love you. I love you. Thanks for having us. An audience. We love you. Yes. Teach them one song. They go with this. No. No. No. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Raffle is going. But after that you give them one one go. She could like go. That's right. That's right. So we're going to share one song with you before you go home.  So Christine, if you're ready, we'd like to, you know, see you here on the stage. Let's do this. Shake it up. Let's draw. Wilder loop. Wilder. Wilder. Wilder. Wilder. First prize. Second. Gilbertson. G. Gilbertson. One more. Thank you so much for your support. We are nonprofit. We are new. If you have any skills that you can. I mean, you can contribute or support our project, drumming dance school education support our project, drumming, dance school, education, cultural values, sharing, diversity, collecting used items, shipping to Ghana to help the needy, anything you can do, computer skills, anything. We need helpers and supporters. So please join us and let us move the project forward. Thank you very, very much. Thanks so much for coming. We'll make sure that we do it every year. Church who's hosted us for this on this day and what a beautiful venue. So we are very thankful to all the for all the support and bringing it together and making it happen. And for you all for being here and bringing your energy. We are looking forward to more of these. We're also going to be doing a fundraising dinner in two weeks. So if you are interested in a Jalof dinner that you tested today, please let us know. And thank you again. Have a great afternoon. It sounds like we got one more. Just one minute. We just brought this to show you. This is our shipment getting ready to go to Ghana. We shipped last year 65 used bicycles 65. And here is a college student who lives like Barry and then the school, the campus is somewhere else like three miles. So we gave him a bicycle and he was very appreciative because now he can ride his bicycle from his geometry to school. Here is loading to ship. And here is a school from the national. I donated some seven computers and we have to go to the school and set up your computer lab for them. And so this is one of the students. And here is our man, our main man in Ghana who receives the shipment and distribute setting up and teaching the students computer stuff here. Here is one person, a recipient of one of our computers. And here is a little girl for the first time having a bicycle from the Shida project. And so this here is loading also to ship. This truck was shipped to Ghana, was fixed. And when Heather and I visited Ghana in June, we even got the use of it. We were able to use it to drive around. And so the project is really working. But we need supporters and we need people to be able to be there for us. Thank you so much for coming. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Shida says, thank you. Apaaba says, welcome and thank you.
