Hello again everyone and welcome to Lakeland Currents, where tonight we're talking about an issue that's really sad. It's sad that it's happening in our culture. It's even sadder that it's happening right here where we live in central Minnesota. And the topic is sex trafficking. And we're going to find out what is that definition? What are we when we say sex traffic? We're not just talking about adult prostitution. We're talking about things that are happening with very, very young girls. And it's something that's probably more prevalent than the average person is aware of. So hopefully from this program tonight we'll have a better understanding of what sex trafficking is. I can't say it. And what we can do about it. I guess this evening are Naomi Nelson, who is with Lutheran Social Services. Can't have to talk here. And Jim Eckstead, who is the chief of police at Maxner. Yes. Thank you both for coming on our show. We really appreciate it. And you asked me to ask this question, what is sex trafficking? So let's just start out with what are we defining here as sex trafficking? And our focus for the most part this evening is going to be on central Minnesota. Sure. Yeah, and I think you brought up a really good point already. Like people have an idea of what prostitution is. And so I think that's kind of the social stigma is an understanding of prostitution, which actually could translate to sex trafficking. But what we're going to be talking about, I think here is more the minor commercial sexual exploitation, which is this big umbrella term, which sex trafficking falls underneath. And so what that is, is when something of value is exchanged with somebody else for a sexual activity. And this could be something of value could be a place to stay. It could be a kid that needs, you know, is maybe on the run or it's cold in Minnesota and they're homeless or don't have a place, have been kicked out for whatever reason from their home.  But then the expectation is that there's a sexual activity that is exchanged for them for a place to stay. This is kind of two party involvement. When we move into sex trafficking, we're looking at three parties that are involved. There we have a trafficker who is kind of the controller, which often people will know this as the pimp. So we have a pimp. And then we have a youth who is who we consider to be the victim of this crime. And then we have buyers who sometimes we call johns. But we're trying to kind of change that terminology. So we have the trafficker, the youth or the victim.  And so again, this can be kind of on this small, this small micro level where we have maybe a mother who is feeding a drug addiction, and she doesn't have any money to give her her drug dealer. And so she offers her daughter for an hour and says, Hey, you can have my daughter for an hour. And then in exchange, I'm going to get my drugs. It's not always money can be anything of value can be drugs, a place to stay transportation. It can be money as well. Then we can move into more of this big level where there could be a trafficker who is exchanging exchanging money with a buyer. And there could be six, seven, eight, 10, 15 different youth that are forced into a situation or coerced into a situation that they're essentially being raped by these people in order for the trafficker to get money. So it is the supply and the demand. It is kind of this business that the traffickers are operating, which is then considered sex trafficking. So the work that you folks do is that with age groups under certain age, so we're not talking about necessarily a 35 year old. Sure. And we do kind of work with both. However, under Minnesota state law, it is still part of what the safe harbor law that was passed in 2011 said is that a child can no longer be considered a child prostitute. And so they're considered a victim. And that is 18 or under the age of 17 years old. And so when they are a minor, they cannot be criminalized over the age of 18. They still can. But I think if I would speak to law enforcement often now they're wondering and asking the question, is this something that really is choice or is this something that maybe they were coerced at the age of 15 and now they're 19 years old and should we be charging them? Do they have a pimp or a controller in place? And so it's trying to understand the story. And if I just don't think anybody wakes up and says, hey, I'm going to sell myself for sex someday. That's not really that dream somebody has. And so it's understanding the topic. Yeah. And what it has been for us over the last three, four, five years in law enforcement, not just in this area, but across the state is kind of a paradigm shift along with the juvenile protections under the safe harbor law, the change in the language, the decriminalization and prostitution that forced us as law enforcement to complete that paradigm shift and and view them as victims and not the offenders, you know. So when we started getting into this about two and a half three years ago here locally, we weren't targeting specific issues related to juvenile sex trafficking, but kind of the whole feeder system. We know that prostitution and solicitation is happening in the adult world, but those individuals are going to be the ones that are probably going to venture off into the juvenile world at some time to or may already be doing that type of stuff. So we wanted to kind of start, you know, getting at the road of the problem, which is just the act of prostitution. And in Baxter specifically, we own the problem because we had the nine, 10 motels in town. And historically, that's kind of been where it's been happening over the last 15, 20, 30 years. One thing that kind of pushed us to going back a little bit further, I'd say now maybe eight to 10 years across the state, some of the bigger agencies, Duluth, Rochester, St. Cloud, Moorhead, those agencies were starting to do the details, kind of what I just explained a little bit ahead of everybody else and more resources, more personnel, bigger problems. But as they did that, they would push the problem out of their area and it doesn't go away. It just migrates somewhere else in the state. And we found out that a lot of it was migrating here to our area. And that's kind of how we started and got rolling on it. Why do you think it is migrating to this area? Four years ago, we weren't addressing the issue. You know, so it, after we started addressing the issue in various different ways, but we made contact with a female victim who was working out of one of our hotels. In the course of three hours that we were watching, there was four individuals who paid a visit to her room. We interviewed her afterwards. She wasn't charged. But she told our investigators, said, you really cramped my style up here. You know, I used to make $2,000 in a day easy. I'm struggling to make $800, $900 in a day now. And, you know, we kind of knew that. We suspected things like that were going on. But to finally hear it firsthand, you know, it was still eye-opening at that point. Well, I guess. $2,000 a day. Yeah. And this was coming from a lady who was just shy of 30 years old. And she had a home where she lived with actually her parents in a Northwest Metro city. And she would leave her kids with her mom in the morning and travel. We were one of the destinations for her, you know. So about every once every three, four weeks should be up here. Make her money. But we were one stop in a, you know, kind of a circuit that she had going. I used to work in a college and we had a law enforcement program that I don't believe I remember the curriculum focusing very much on this problem. So this is new for you to learn how to start coping with this, I would guess, for police departments. It was, yeah, well, prostitution has always been on the board. But this was a full 180 on how to deal with it. And what we did locally, we started kind of two groups. We had the law enforcement group who was going to address the problem. And then we created kind of an advocacy group on the backside to support law enforcement and to support that paradigm shift that we were going through. Because the prosecutors had to learn that they needed to rethink the way they were going to frame up the prosecution. We're not going to call them prostitutes. We're going to call them victims, because that's what they are.  So we're addressing it that way. And I don't want to say it was a struggle, but it was a big change. But it threw some pretty hard work. We seem to deter at least the adult issue early on. And to date, we haven't had any criminal prosecution of any juvenile crimes here in our local area. But we're not too naive to believe that it's still not going on. And that's why, you know, law enforcement, it's hard to justify or quantify sometimes the work that you do. Is it paying dividends? Well, we kind of hope that it is, but we've got to keep doing it too. And that's why we continue to work together. So Naomi, your title is Navigator. What does that mean? So Safe Harbor was passed, as I said, kind of in 2011. And this was a law that thankfully, Minnesota took ownership of and said, we're not only going to pass this law, but we're going to give money to this and for services for those who have been victims of this crime. And so what that is, is that there are navigators throughout the state of Minnesota. There are eight regions. And so I cover eight counties, excuse me, that are in central Minnesota. And that's from down to Elk River, Wright, Sherburne, Benton, Stearns, Morrison, Aiken, and Crow Wing. Wow, that's a big area. Yeah, so kind of being able to- Are you the only one doing that in that area? In that area, yes, as a navigator. The other thing that they said is that not only do we need navigators that are going to help, whether it be child protection, giving them resources, whether it be a women's center or advocacy groups, school personnel, we want to make sure people are educated on the issue so they can identify it. And then they can call us and we can help give resources to the youth that they may have identified. The other thing is that they said that we need housing. That's something we're still getting more funding for because the truth is we do have many victims that are under the age of 18 years old that need housing. Some of them are in child protection. Cases, some of them are not. But they need a safe place to begin healing and restoring from what's going on and what has been going on. And they do say that right now the average age that somebody has a trafficker that maybe forces them or courses them into this industry is 15 years old. So we're looking at a 15-year-old and I think that that in itself, just thinking about somebody that young and being in a situation that they're forced to have sex night after night after night is just something that's really hard to digest. But thankfully our state is saying we need funding in order to best serve the people that have been victims of this. Are most of the victims that you deal with from Minnesota? Yeah I would say for the most they are domestic. At one time you know people maybe have this idea that sex trafficking was international or that it was only international that were being trafficked. Yes that is a problem but the highest percentage is going to be domestic. And just sometimes from our area sometimes you can have somebody that's from St. Claude being trafficked up to Brainerd to Duluth to Fargo Moorhead area and all the towns in between and back. But it really there's also opportunity that traffickers will say you know what I have somebody right here that I can traffic on the weekends and they can be in school on Monday. Their family's not going to know what's going on but I'm going to make a profit off of them. And so there are traffickers that are working in the area with youth from our area as well. So what what we would consider in the old days as a John? Yes. Do you work with them too? Do you ever try to rehabilitate those folks? Yeah so there's a program that's in St. Claude at the women's center there or sorry the sexual assault center there.  And so it's not to say that we're going to take charges away but it's saying that you need to go to this class to understand what's going on. Because the truth is that this is supply and demand. If there was not a demand for this it would not be happening. It would cease to exist. So we know that we do need to focus on the demand and how can we stop this by focusing on the people that are buying and that are doing that. And one thing that they're learning interesting enough is that a pornography is kind of fueling this industry. And that's one of the things that has been unique across the board which is why it's leading to younger ages. Because we know that with the progression of pornography it also leads to younger children. And so if they were once it was a 30 year old that they're watching in pornography images and now it's down to a child that they are more likely than to go buy a child and want a child and insolicit in these situations. And so it all kind of intertwines into a big issue of the commercial and sexual industry. That's kind of what I was getting at too when we first started this you know getting to the road of the problem. You know and we've worked even through prosecution you ask about treating the Johns you know there's they call them Johns schools as well. So when we did our operations at the hotels it was all adults over the years now locally I think it's close to 30 some adult males that we've arrested for solicitation charges. And in those prosecutions you know I don't know the exact numbers but part of the prosecution was maybe to attend the Johns school.  Well it's so much bigger than that I mean it it may be consenting adults at a level somewhere but like Naomi was explaining it tends to it becomes more criminal as people become used to it and you know that even that lady I spoke of earlier you know as we talked with her the story she was telling us you know things that have happened to her in a motel room while she's working it was just amazing that you know as a late 20s gal she's not been hurt and she would be the first one to admit it you know so again it goes back to okay is she really consenting maybe now at this point in time but through our conversations we also learned that she didn't get into this on her own she was trafficked out of St. Cloud she was a college student down there and you know now instead of getting a college education she's stuck in this world now she doesn't know anything else now there's a lot of money coming in she's dependent on it she's dependent on it and she can't get away from it so it's just this ugly cycle and for us in law enforcement we wanted to break that pattern and that's kind of what we we started to do and we committed to doing here and and across the state you know we received a grant at the same time Bemidji received a grant Bemidji police department we're doing the same type of work and it it seems to be working but now you know the focus is kind of changing again within law enforcement world kind of shifting towards the guardian angel aspect of it that is where we specifically are getting into doing undercover work to go out and find the people who are specifically targeting juveniles and that's that's some interesting work too and it's amazing it's interesting because the people who are the johns parts keep using that term sorry the buyer buyer it can be anyone we saw a chief of police in minnesota that was arrested for that i fished with his neighbor about a month ago and it was devastating to that whole community a congressman in new york and he got into the pornography stuff too i guess i i've not made that connection as much as you're saying they owe me that pornography has led to a lot of this developing because people are getting access to the younger picture what's the youngest victim you've dealt with the youngest i've dealt with is a oh man how old is she been 14 years old um but again is she at eighth grade or ninth grade yeah about that about ninth grade wow and the other thing you look at is um you know some of the youth they say 15 years old and so you're looking at very young i know people that have worked with a lot younger that have worked with an eight-year-old or a four-year-old who have been trafficked um and you really see that more when you're looking at familial trafficking which is harder to detect and identify um because it's been something that's going on within the house and it's in the house and it's word of mouth um and so it's not on craigslist or backpage dot com that they're putting up ads um and selling them it's that it's through word of mouth somebody knows i can go to that house and there's going to be a young a young girl or a young boy um that are going to be there and i can do what i want for this amount of money and so again when it's familial it's a little bit harder to detect and we know that that is very prevalent as well in a lot of communities yeah and a lot of times it can blend in with the drug world as well i mean a lot of that intersects in a lot of ways you haven't made it sound like all of this is necessarily related to drugs no it's related to like you said just getting a place to stay or i i guess i've never i i i've always thought that so much with this would be drug related sure somebody's doing the work that yeah and the work that we did at the the local motels we kind of anticipated that maybe as we got into it we were prepared we had our drug task force agents who were there um i don't know i think maybe a handful of times or less did we actually come across individuals who had drugs on them or were you know anyway any sort of drug connections so that was kind of surprising yeah to us too um you know the the list of individuals who we arrested was it was somewhat broad but somewhat narrow at the same time i mean it was a lot of the white males in that 25 to 60 year old age group that were somewhat local i mean they traveled a little bit to to get to the destination but i think now you know it we worked hard on the front end too with the local newspaper we wanted to make a big splash we wanted it to be deterrence which was i'll be honest kind of hard on the officers because they really enjoyed doing the work i mean we couldn't believe how productive we were in that first detail that we we ran and um it was my call on the back end to bring the the paper in and have them that intimately involved from the front and the deterrence worked it really did we dropped off almost immediately as we continued to work the details once they realized you were looking for them yeah but the problem is and again we knew that we weren't solving any issues we were just probably pushing it elsewhere so now i think a lot of our work is is on the education side of it um we're getting into kind of a risk assessment role too where how do we better identify the juveniles who who are at risk who may be victims so who are they who is at risk right and i think this is something um that sometimes is hard to grasp that all youth are essentially at risk for this um traffickers can lure um youth in on social media that's a big thing it can be on instagram snapchat whatsapp there's multiple different applications that are out there that parents aren't monitoring um they don't even know how to sometimes operate the app so they don't know who they're talking to and you can be anyone behind a phone um so the traffickers kind of lure them in through this um love adventure i'm gonna have a great life for you reaching out at times when maybe a kid is like my mother beep beep beep beep beep and freaks out and the trafficker at that point can step in and say oh honey it's okay what's going on right now let me have a conversation with you about that you can trust me um and they start to build this rapport with this youth until they get to a point um that maybe they come in contact with them and at that point they're gonna use violence and they're gonna use fears and threats against their family they might blackmail them and say you know what i have this picture of you and i'm gonna show it to the rest of the world um unless you comply with me um and so traffickers really um they're businessmen they know they can make money off of this one person are the traffickers always men for the most part but not always i actually i shouldn't even say for the most part no we oftentimes will see traffickers that are females it doesn't make a difference um the gender i would say the only gender that you're gonna see most prominently male is in the buyers when we're looking at buyers but when you're looking at traffickers when you're looking at victims um they're all they're they could be anybody um all different ages as well um and so again they could make a hundred thousand dollars a year with one person wow hundred thousand and that's on like the the low end um so they're very tactful and who they're gonna lure in and who you know sometimes it can be those at-risk youth maybe families um that are not engaged in their life that are out you know roaming around in the streets it could be those that are runaways or the lgbt community if they're not um feeling that they belong somewhere this person might be somebody that accepts them so again the traffickers are are tactful and bringing it back to the drugs one thing i i like to make the connection with and um is that you could exchange drugs for money or drugs for whatever and those drugs are gone you have a human being and you can use them over and over and over and over again you don't give it away and it's gone you have that person use over and over again which is why it's such a big money maker um and so when you get into the mind of the trafficker you realize that they don't care about this person and really they are just a price tag to them your commodity doesn't disappear you always right you always have it wow do you see much disease yes when you're looking at stds and stis unwanted pregnancies um i worked with the youth and um yeah she i mean she ended up she was pregnant and at the very beginning wasn't sure you know who who the dad was and and that was really difficult for her and something she had to her whole pregnancy had to wonder and think about and so you just think of all the different things that um will be unexpected to somebody that just kind of ended up in the situation what what services do you have for the victims well minnesota is doing it right um that they've thrown a lot of money at this and they continue to increase funding we're very fortunate here in our area in the throwing coney brainer baxter area um we've had neomy is our navigator now she's she's out of brainer so that helps us she talked about her eight counties when we first started doing this our first navigator um she had 22 counties that so as the state continues to build this out they're doing it right um the resources we have the the saving grace home we haven't even really talked about but that's one of the foster home specific to traffic youth in the brainer area in the brainer lakes area and we've had that for a couple years now for a while that was one of the only out state i don't know if it still is so we're we're fortunate to have that here um luther and social services has received more funding to hire another coordinator position um so we're we're fortunate that way what we see in law enforcement is in the metro area the the problem and the resources that they're putting toward the problem is much greater there and resources are probably two three four times we're you know putting into it right now but the bca has just taken on in the last month and a half um they've started to own this problem and i'm i'm excited to talk about it because they've started their own human trafficking task force within the agency and they're they're applying for additional funding and they're doing it right they've reached out to the out state communities um which sometimes you know we're out state we feel ignored but they're making us feel like okay we understand the metro is really attacking this problem we need to cover our bases out state too so um they're doing it right and and they're bringing us in on that we're down to a minute okay what should community people but who should they contact if they see something that makes them suspicious i would say um first of all educate yourself so you know what to look for and you can go to our saving grace um luther and social service saving grace on our facebook page um otherwise you can you can always call us as well we have a 24 7 hotline that's luther and social services social services luther and social services and our 24 7 hotline is 1-866-824-3770 um and that you can always call for us to give you more information give you identifiers um let you know what to do in a situation that you think somebody something might be going on um we can always consult with you otherwise we always say call you know call law enforcement call law enforcement they're they are in a position that they can respond and we were trained now to deal with it right over the last two years we've we've done training specific to this um in baxter brainard crowing county area we've trained probably 75 percent or greater of our officers specific in a two to four hour course on that excellent well thank you for coming on the show it's very eye-opening and and sad to see but good to see that you're making progress in dealing with this issue thank you both of you thanks you've been watching lakeland currents or we're talking about what you're talking about i'm ray gildow so long until next time

Well enough beating around the bush. Let's go ahead and watch some of my old videos dude I got a couple queued up here. So this one is called world of warcraft dot dot dot This is from 2007 which I suppose I would have been that while you would have turned 13 and 7 but it wasn't my birthday yet So I would have been 12 in this video. This is me right here Right off the bat you can tell that I was very small for my age. We this is my friend We were the same we are still the same age. He hasn't outaged me We were the same age at the time and we still are to this day and I was Very small for my age. I believe this video. I haven't watched this video in a long time I believe it's about having a friend that is addicted to world of warcraft world of warcraft was like big in the zeitgeist of 2007 as you can tell by the like to dislike ratio. We pretty much nailed it pretty much made a great video All right.  What do you say? Oh My voice is so Painful to listen to personally. I don't know if it's that way for everyone else But I really don't like listening to my voice when it sounds like that I sound like the sweetest little little baby He would always want to do stuff until one day a certain game came along a game called world of warcraft Or rather wow he became addicted to it and we couldn't get him to hang out with us anymore We tried making him go to classes to get on with his life, but that just didn't work He just kept playing so we did some research and what we found was very disturbing and shocking This is that story and how we ended up here time to die Okay, and then and then we cut to the flashback. I believe there's only one flashback in this video We're not pulling a lemonade mouth and doing a flashback within a flashback So I guess pretty simple beginning we'd say our friend was addicted to world of warcraft and we researched it And what we found was very disturbing and now apparently we're like tied up in these chairs and a voice from offscreen says It's time to die And then we're I think we're like supposed I don't really know what what's going on with the chairs leaning back like because we're So obviously pushing ourselves back But I think maybe we're supposed to be in chairs that are being like, you know rotated back That way someone can come and kill us like we're strapped to the ground now and so it's easier to Stab us if we're horizontal. I don't know what the deal with that is. I think I Remember even at the at this time being confused about what was going on and surprisingly having 13 years past has not cleared it up I'm still don't know what is going on in this scene.  I think it's pretty impressive that I had any friends in middle school. I was From the looks of it like three feet tall and I had a voice like a little goblin even the shirt like yeah Look at this like 2007 fashion, too I've got like a really baggy t-shirt on really baggy jeans everything baggy also worth noting in 2007 by room that I shared with my brother was painted like Harry Potter like Hogwarts So that's why there's this like brick pattern on the wall It's supposed to be like a castle thing going on my mom painted it that way. It was actually pretty tight Yeah Okay, so the premise of this video is that like Matt Who's my brother is playing World of Warcraft and I guess like the reason he's addicted to World of Warcraft is because there's this Creature this guy right here that only he can see that's just a dude in a tiger mask that we got from the zoo Holding a hammer who is just telling him to keep leveling up and I guess he's like threatening him with the hammer But only only Matt can see him so me and my friend are just like why won't he play with us? But I like it keeps cutting back and forth from like what we see to what he sees And I like how in one we're just like standing there perfectly still just being like do you want to play with us? And then when it cuts to the shots with the tiger with the hammer, we're like come on dude What come come play with us, man I think that's probably what we thought we were doing in the previous shots, and then it just like didn't match up at all Look at this posture I got this lean going on come on dude come play with us One more level one more hour one more day one more day Hey all night Morning, okay Seems like maybe we should have just like picked a different take for that one the one where like the villain isn't clearing his throat Play all night play Play all morning. Ah, yes listen to me the great God of World of Warcraft Really good exposition there listen to me the God of World of Warcraft That's who I am in this story, and that's how we're establishing it I'm just saying listen to me the God of World of Warcraft. Yes Also great camera work whoever was in charge of the camera work nice job It might have been me actually probably not me because if it was me It would have looked like a mouse was filming it because everyone was so so much taller than me His name is Matt Did I just not know how clothes fit or was was this really the style I don't remember I don't remember like owning such baggy clothes. This is crazy. Look at this hoodie, dude I guess my mom was just thinking like any day now. He's gonna start growing He's not gonna be three feet tall forever, right? She was just like wish willing it into existence that I would be a normal height someday, and you know what? She was right 510, baby exactly average Draw from friends who's to give up eating and sleeping to play World of Warcraft. Yeah. Yeah, yes doll all of them Yeah, every single one even the ones that weren't a yes or no question. Yes. Yes to all even the question where I said What level is he in the game? Yes. Yes. He is a lot. Yes. He is he is level. Yes. Yes, all right Very side your friends. He seems to have a severe obsession with the World of Warcraft Why does she need to type into the computer to see that like We said yes to every question. I think it's pretty clear that he's addicted. Okay. Yes to everything He's having withdrawal from friends, and he won't come play with you, and he's been playing for a long time. Okay No, he's actually fine. Yeah, he's good. He said yes to everything. Yeah, it says he's fine. So don't worry about it That's what the computer says right away Pretty glad that I don't sound like that for the entire video That's I don't think that I would be able to make it through this video if I sounded like that the entire time So I'm glad I'm I'm pretty sure I only do that once. Okay, so she says we need to bring him in and then we're like, oh And then I pull out a toy lightsaber and my friend pulls out a game cube That's just a straight-up game cube that he's holding by like the handle on the back of it And I actually remember filming this because he hit he hit the ceiling of his basement with the game Matt you have to come to this class you are addicted so in this scene I guess we don't have a cameraman or something because you can tell that I'm clearly holding the camera But also trying to participate in the scene get your life back together. Come on I feel like I'm not even participating in the scene at all I'm just like occasionally echoing what other people are saying Matt. Come on. Let's do it.    Okay, so let's skip ahead a little bit We do some research. We're looking on the computer. We're looking at we're looking at CDs Maybe some of these CDs gonna help looks like the only way we're going to be able to see the tiger with the hammer Oh shit, okay So the plan is the only way we can see the tiger with the hammer is if we play World of Warcraft ourselves So that's our dangerous daring plan. All right, Matt. Let me play No Come on. No Shit Okay, I'm glad I'm sitting like this. Do you see what I have on my foot right here? You know what this is right here? That's a wheel because these are Heelys. That's right, baby When I was 12, I had Heelys. I think my friend got them for me for my 12th birthday I try not to be too jealous. All right. I was pretty much the coolest kid around I was probably healing through my middle school hallways healing right under people's legs because I was so goddamn small Oh Yeah, kill him kill Okay, did he knock me out what happened Do we film this at a different time of day because at first I was like that shot looks darker than this shot But then I'm also now realizing that I'm wearing a hoodie in this shot, and I'm not in this shot I'm just wearing a white t-shirt I guess we just forgot to film the rest of that scene and realize later that night and I also forgot what I was wearing So now we flash forward to where we were at the beginning and wait isn't he wearing Niko's wearing something different too Yeah, we both are I'm wearing an Adidas hoodie and my friend is wearing a polo shirt And if we go forward to the beginning my friend is wearing a jacket, and I'm wearing a different color hoodie Damn, I was a dumb 12 year old. Why wouldn't we just film the flashback part at the same time as this shit? I'm glad I'm not stupid anymore I got to level 60 and I can't level up anymore By the expansion That was a nice little zinger at the end by the expansion pack for World of Warcraft Some solid World of Warcraft humor this video might seem like we were making fun of World of Warcraft But we all played World of Warcraft So I think we were just like really into it and wanted to make a video about it also the comments are turned off now I think cuz YouTube has since made it so that any videos made by kids don't have the comments turned on but at the time I'm pretty sure this video only got one comment, and it was just douchebags So I mean when you look at that and you look at the like-to-dislike ratio I think it was pretty easy to see right from the start that I would someday have a million subscribers on two channels All in all I like watching my old videos. It's kind of sweet. It's kind of fun to look back at them and Think about a time when I just want like being a youtuber was just a pipe dream of mine And I didn't well I didn't even probably know if like being a youtuber was a real thing I think probably the only youtubers I knew about were Smosh And it was just me making goofy videos with my friends and now look at me I'm making goofy wacky videos By myself. I think it's pretty crazy. I think that if little 12 year old Danny could see where I was right now If he could watch this video right now and see that I've got a million subscribers on not one, but two channels I think he'd be I Think he'd be pretty upset about the way that I was making fun of him in this video honestly I think what I said about him being short would have really gotten to him and probably what I said about his voice too But then once he got past that I think he'd be I Think you'd be pretty excited. So anyway, thanks for watching this video and thank you again for a million subscribers That's very cool. I do have some newish merch So I'm pretty fun stuff that is up on my merch store now if you want to go and snag a couple pieces It's up at Danny Gonzalez store So if you want to go ahead over there and check it out, I would greatly appreciate that But hey, no pressure man. You do you do you anyway, that's the end of the video


I'm Mark Vins from the Bray-Willardness channel and I'm here at Davos on day two. What's most impressive about this event besides all the amazing corporations and people that attend are the ideas, the innovators, the ideas and actions of tomorrow that are starting today. In just over 24 hours I've had so many inspiring conversations with global business leaders like Susan Wojcicki, the CEO of YouTube, Marco Lavertini, the World Wildlife Fund global director and then of course there's also innovators here, there's small businesses like Elise Middlem from the Sugi project who's rewilding urban centers all over the world to bring nature closer to people's hearts. The solutions needed for tomorrow are happening today through the ideas at Davos.


Let's look at a specific service which we call as the internet protocol-based television, IPTV. So if it is provided through IMS, then what are the services which IPTV could get from IMS that it does not otherwise get from pure IP-based network with no infrastructure support for service provisioning. So let's look at the types first and then we are going to look at the control functions which are provided to the IPTV. So IPTV basically is a service that has been very favorite to all of us. We've been watching live and streamed and sometimes stored content on internet. So if this television service was always there, that we call as the non-NGN IPTV, which was traditionally the IPTV over the internet service provided internet. After the coming of NGN, then this IPTV actually came in two more variants, that is a non-IMS-based IPTV and IMS-based IPTV. Now this NGN-based IPTV is actually an extension which is very natural because NGN had to replace existing networks as an integrated service delivery platform. So the non-IMS-based NGN basically is a step towards the final goal where the IPTV is all provided by the IMS-based services. So the IMS actually is responsible for providing certain services to IPTV. First one is access. For that, there is a protocol which is an extension protocol to radius. We will talk about it as the AAA service protocol. So basically, a diameter is provided as IMS service to IPTV. It allows communication to take place between the application function or the API with the database that stores the application profile because each application has its own QoS requirements. So these are consulted and tallied through the database. Then the application function also interacts with the user service profile. That is the user is entitled to which kinds of services. Now this information of user is specifically available in home subscribers station. Another protocol or service which is provided by IMS for IPTV is the session initiation protocol service. This is related to signaling and call control for multimedia, especially in this case of IPTV. So it actually manages the interaction between the service control function in IMS and the application function. And then it also involves the interaction between the service control function and the content delivery functions which are invoked at the servers which are going to provide the content. We are now going to look at the complete picture of the functional architecture for IPTV which is based on IMS. Now here you see different kinds of variants which are possible. For instance, if the IPTV application function is not utilizing the service control function and content delivery functions and if it is not based on IMS, then it is basically a non IMS based NGN service. But if it is using IMS as the underlying service where the service control function is present and if it is also interacting with the content delivery function, then we say that it is IMS based NGN IPTV. So you see here that different kinds of interactions are being shown in here where the IPTV application functions in the core of the network is now interacting with the end user API. And on behalf of the end user API, it is interacting with the underlying IMS core.


Hello, this is David Diger Hernandez, and you're watching Spirit Church here on the EncounterTV network. I'm continuing my series on the symbols of the Holy Spirit. The cloud is a symbol for the Holy Spirit. The presence of God was often concealed in a cloud and revealed only to those who stepped in to that cloud. Likewise, the presence of the Holy Spirit holds the presence of Jesus and those who walk in the Holy Spirit can see Jesus for who He is. Before we get into that lesson, Steven Moctezuma is here with me. He's gonna lead you in some very anointed worship, and then we're getting right into the lesson. Here is Steven Moctezuma. If you enjoyed that song that Steven Moctezuma sang, a beautiful worship moment, then make sure you go and download his latest album, which is now on all the major music platforms.  Now to the message. You know, I've heard tremendous stories about many great men and women of God, but one of those who has inspired me most is a woman by the name of Catherine Coleman, and I know people personally who have actually been in her meetings, and there are eyewitness accounts where this woman of God would walk out onto the platform, and as she would begin to lead the people in worship, really she was just worshiping, but as she began to lead the people in worship, many eyewitnesses report seeing a physical, visible cloud appear right there on the platform with her. This was not a one-time occurrence. There are many different stories like this regarding this great woman of God, Catherine Coleman. Now I by no means am trying to elevate this woman beyond where she should be elevated, but we should be inspired to know that the presence of the Holy Spirit could envelop us like that cloud. You know, whenever you see the cloud in the Old Testament, and in some instances in the New Testament, you'll see that the cloud holds or carries or conceals the presence of God or the presence of Jesus, the Word, and only those who step into that cloud can actually see or experience the fullness of the glory of God. The cloud holds the glory. Exodus chapter 24 verses 15 to 18 say this, then Moses climbed up the mountain and the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day, the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud to the Israelites at the foot of the mountain. The glory of the Lord appeared at the summit like a consuming fire. Then Moses disappeared. I love that. Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He remained on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights. Now there is a lot that we can glean from this one portion of scripture, but I want to point out to you what I just said to you and how it's reflected here in this portion of scripture. The cloud concealed the presence. The cloud concealed the glory. And as Moses ascended the mountain, he stepped into the cloud. And when he stepped into the cloud, he discovered the glory of God. The cloud is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Those who walk in the Holy Spirit, those who search the depths of God by the Holy Spirit, come to know the glory of God. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of the glory of God. Now Moses spoke with God in that cloud. Exodus chapter 34 verses 32 to 35 say this, then all the people of Israel approached him and Moses gave them all the instructions the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai. When Moses finished speaking with them, he covered his face with the veil. But whenever he went into the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he would remove the veil until he came out. Then he would give the people whatever instructions the Lord had given him. And the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the Lord. So in that cloud, Moses receives a glow. In the cloud is the glow of the glory. And when you go into the cloud, when you walk in the Holy Spirit, you begin to radiate the glory of God. The cloud also represents guidance. In Exodus chapter 13 verse 21, the Bible says the Lord went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with the pillar of cloud and he provided light at night with the pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night. Now wherever the cloud would go during the day, the children of Israel would go. When the cloud would stop, the children of Israel would stop and they would camp in the same way the Holy Spirit guides our spiritual lives. He provides direction and clarity for the path ahead. As we follow the presence of the Holy Spirit, as we go with him wherever he leads in our lives, sometimes he'll keep us moving. And other times he'll say, rest here and remain and abide. The Holy Spirit guides us through all different seasons of life. And in that cloud, we find our guidance. The priest, when ministering, experienced that manifestation of the cloud and that cloud that appeared actually prevented them from being able to perform their priestly duties. In 2 Chronicles chapter 5 verses 13 through 14, the Bible says, it came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard and praising and thanking the Lord. And when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music and praised the Lord saying, for he is good, for his mercy endureth forever, that then the house was filled with the cloud, even the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. I want you to notice here that worship precedes the covering of the cloud. The Bible says that when the trumpeters and the singers were as one, when they made their sound as one, when they lifted their voices and their instruments of music as one to worship God, then the cloud appeared. The scripture tells us that God inhabits the praises of his people. When we begin to glorify Jesus, the Holy Spirit shows up. The Holy Spirit is attracted to any atmosphere where Jesus is being glorified. Why? Because that's one of his tasks, is to glorify Jesus, to point to Jesus, to point to the Lord. So there's so much here in this portion, but I want to focus in on this idea that when we worship, when we magnify the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit shows up. Now, when I say the Holy Spirit shows up, I'm not saying literally he shows up because he's always with us and he can't get any closer than within us. So the Holy Spirit doesn't come and go. Rather, when we worship, we become aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit. So when I lift the name of Jesus, when I begin to praise him, when I begin to worship him, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit's presence and power is present. And then we begin to see the miracles, then we begin to see his work. That's not why we worship God, but it is a result of our worship of Jesus nonetheless. For when Jesus is glorified, the power of the Holy Spirit is manifested. As we worship him, as we sing, as we lift our voices, as we obey him, we are emitting from our lives this sound of worship and praise, and the cloud is attracted to that worship. The cloud is attracted to that glorification of Jesus. The presence of the Holy Spirit also manifested in the form of a cloud at the transfiguration of Jesus. Matthew, chapter 17, verses five and six, say this, but even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And a voice from the cloud said, this is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him. The disciples were terrified and fell face down to the ground. The glorious presence of Jesus, that that manifestation of the glory of the Son of God happened when the cloud showed up. The cloud reveals and conceals the presence of God. Why is that? Because only those who walk with the Holy Spirit can be trusted with the glory of God. Only those who are one with the Holy Spirit, only those who have given themselves to the guidance of the Holy Spirit can step into that more, can step into the greater and experience the glory of God. So the Holy Spirit's presence conceals and reveals the beauty, the majesty, the glory of Jesus, the cloud represents the Holy Spirit's guidance and glorious presence in your life. This cloud is an invitation and those who are born again can step into that cloud. Those who are born again and are saved and are redeemed have the privilege of walking in that glory, of seeing sides of God's nature, of seeing aspects of his character reserved only for those who love him. I want you to experience that cloud.  That's the invitation of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the cloud. The Holy Spirit is the guidance of God in your life. The Holy Spirit shows up in a manifested way when you glorify Jesus and the Holy Spirit's presence conceals and reveals the presence of Jesus to those who love him. I want to pray now my prayer is going to be simple. My prayer is that you would be overtaken by the cloud, that the smoke of heaven would fill your room right now. So Father, in the name of Jesus, some of you are beginning to sense something right now. Make sure you're sitting down and if you're driving, I do not recommend, I'm not being funny, I'm being serious right now. If you're driving, I do not recommend you listen to this. Turn this off if you're driving. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray you manifest the glory, the presence of the Holy Spirit around that one receiving this prayer. Let them be covered in the cloud, in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, for your presence. Transform us in that cloud and let us see the beauty and the brilliance of the countenance of Christ in the name of Jesus. I want you to say it because you believe it. Say amen. There's someone watching me right now with a, there's a problem with your left ear.  You're beginning to hear out of that ear right now. That's the presence of God touching your life. There's someone else. There's a, there's a tumor on your knee. I see a growth on your knee. Father, in the name of Jesus, I rebuke that right now. That tumor goes in Jesus. Name someone else with respiratory issues. God's healing you right now. I thank you, Father. Lord, let this healing virtue begin to flow and touch your people all over the world in Jesus' name.  I want you to go have your doctor check you. I didn't have, I don't have to call out your healing for you to be healed. I believe that healing virtue is flowing right now. I didn't expect that it just started flowing.  And again, I emphasize, I do not have to call out your sickness in order for you to be healed.  Let us know about the miracle that God did in your body. Wow, that's it for the lesson. I want to welcome now the new members of Spirit Church. There you are up on the screen. We love you. We are praying for you.

Ginny Leroy writes, you inspire me more and more every day. I am the person I am today because of you. I receive the gift of speaking in tongues through this ministry. Wow, God bless you more and more.  I thank you from South Africa. Ginny, that blesses me more than you know.  And the final comment comes from Amanda Debra, who writes, thank you, David Hernandez, for another inspirational teaching on the Holy Spirit. I'm beginning to learn and understand the personality of the Holy Spirit through your teachings and Christ's undying love for me. God, continue to bless you and the awe inspiring music of Stephen Mokhtezuma, sending love all the way from London, UK.   We see Amanda from the UK. We see Ginny from South Africa. Think about what Ginny said in her message. She received the gift of speaking in tongues through this ministry. She says, I'm the person I am today because of you. You know, we know it's not because of me. You know it's because of the Lord, but it's through this ministry, his ministry that he's working. These are lives that are being transformed. We receive messages like this all the time. People are getting saved. People are getting healed. People are getting delivered. People are getting baptized with the Holy Spirit. People are receiving the evidence of speaking in tongues for the first time. I don't know how many times I've received a message from people saying, I've tried so many times to receive the gift of speaking in tongues. And today it broke and I have it. And this blesses me. I know it blesses you. We want to continue to preach the gospel. Now, don't turn this video off. I need to tell you something. It's urgent because the day and the hour is late. We are in, I believe, a very, very historic moment in the history of the world. And right now, more than ever, please hear me. We need bold preachers of the gospel who will not consult with the world's culture to develop their messages. I do not consult the culture of this world. I do not consult the philosophies of the age. I do not consult the ideas of this generation. When I preach the word, I consult the Holy Spirit himself and the word of God. And we need now more ministries who are not afraid to stand and boldly declare that Jesus is the way that people need to repent from sin, that people need to receive the gift of salvation. We need preachers of the gospel. So join with me. My promise to you is this, I'm not going to stop preaching Jesus. I'm not going to stop preaching repentance. I'm not going to stop preaching the truth. The world can come against me. They can criticize me. They can call me whatever they want. They can try to cancel me. I'm going to preach Jesus, period. So I need you to stand with me. You see left and right ministries and churches that are that are that are going along with the agenda of the age that are compromising their faith to accommodate the agenda of the age. And we need more ministries to stand now. So stand with this ministry. If you're tired of seeing ministries that that conform to the world and start preaching a different gospel, if you're tired of seeing people do things along with the agenda of the world and you want to stand behind a ministry that's going to be bold and not compromise, then stand with us. Stand with us and join hands with us and join hands with the thousands of people around the world who have partnered with this ministry on a monthly basis. We need your financial support because we are fighting for the soul of a generation. And we need resources so that we can continue to create content and continue to get it out all around the world.

With only days left until the expected arrival of the Stargoids and update 14 changing the face of our galaxy forever Galnet is now reporting odd behavior from the Thargoids There's also hints of a buff to the exobiology payouts and this might be your last chance to see a Stargoid in flight Here's a midweek update on some important things you may have missed in Elite Dangerous this week If you enjoy our videos, you know how this bit goes like subscribe and hit the notification bell to see all our future content You can also join our patreon which directly supports the work we do here links to that and everything else are below We are now less than two weeks away from the end of November It's extremely likely that wherever the unidentified interstellar anomalies are heading They're likely reach their destinations with the arrival of update 14 into the game And that update is currently scheduled to arrive before the end of November as we reported last week The Stargoids as they've become known are now extremely close to the bubble when they first began appearing back in August Visiting them from the bubble required a not insignificant investment of time at that point They'd appeared to have emerged from the shroud of locked-off systems in the region of Barnards Loop around 2000 light years from Seoul at that point the Stargoids could be heard in the FSS scanner from some Significant distance away if you slewed your all-detecting wonder scanner in the right direction and listened very carefully If you wanted to see the mysterious spiraling blue-green whirlpool of horror However, you needed to be much more local and that meant a trip to their doorstep as of this recording Stargoid one is now just 276 light years from Earth and visible from Earth orbit After an FSS upgrade last week the Stargoids themselves are now Scannable in the FSS indeed if you're in the system with them You can in fact now target them in your ship and give chase They are however at this point at least still out Accelerating human vessels and even if you start your chase ahead of them as they head into the system There is currently no way to drop into the Stargoid signal as it passes at very very high speed Where previously the Stargoid anomalies had appeared to be in interstellar space the space between stars They do now very much appear to be in system with you far from being a slightly ethereal Unobtainable otherworldly phenomena. They are now becoming much more tangible and much more real Albeit still tantalizingly just out of reach for the moment at least in a gal net piece published yesterday It was reported that large numbers of regular Stargoid signal sources have been detected in the vicinity of the Colsack nebula Whilst Stargoid signal sources in the region are absolutely not unusual The report is at pains to report that the area has seen a significant upsurge in the number of non-human signal sources Also the article points out that the upsurge in numbers has not been accompanied by the usual attacks Resulting in burning stations the report states that the Thargoids appear to be waiting for something We saw an upsurge in caustic cauliflower recently in the California nebula But those attacks resulted in at the very least some attacked mega ships Similarly in recent times We've seen large quantities of Thargoids arrive in human occupied systems in the bubble hang out for a few days and then leave Reportedly of their own choosing rather than being driven out in these cases again without attacking starports or mega ships And the report from yesterday claims that the Thargoids are paying particular attention to systems in the Colsack region that house fields of Thargoid barnacles There's clearly some very obvious and deliberate changes in behavior going on here and it's not immediately obvious What our goopy chitinous often difficult neighbors are up to if they are waiting in the Colsack What are they waiting for are they expecting a Stargoid to arrive there? We do know the Stargoids are Thargoid in origin that was confirmed by Professor Palin last week If they're hanging out at a Thargoid barnacle are they protecting them or perhaps refuelling from them? Thargoids can be seen extracting something from the barnacles on a fairly regular basis Are they perhaps using the Colsack as a staging post? Preparing themselves for a simultaneous push into the bubble when the Stargoids arrive The simple fact is right now. We just don't know. We're very much in uncharted territory right now a Second Galnet news piece yesterday largely focused on a sense of general panic in the public consciousness That have been caused by Palin's announcement that the Stargoids were Thargoid in origin Chiding him for his lack of communication skills one line in the piece However was particularly intriguing as it stated that vista genomics were planning to share their Xeno genetic database With the team working alongside Palin a subsequent result of which was that payments made to those who record and submit Genetic samples would likely see an increase. This is potentially hugely significant It essentially equates to a potential buff to the credit payouts that commanders receive for on foot genetic sampling in Odyssey If that's the case it could mean that the goal of progressing through the Exobiologist ranks in Odyssey just got somewhat more obtainable If you're heading in with Exobiology data at the moment It could be worth holding off paying it in and seeing if the community starts to report an uptick in payouts As I stated at the start of this piece We think it extremely likely that the Stargoids will arrive inside the next two weeks with update 14 Whilst it's impossible currently for the player base to understand exactly what the Stargoids are or what their likely impact will be It's fair to say that their appearance is one of those uniquely elite in-game events that we may not see again for some time If you've not yet seen a Stargoid in transit, then I'd urge you to take a visit to one now while you still can It's entirely possible that what we're seeing at the moment could become a regular occurrence And it's just as likely that this is a one-off thing or should that be an eight-off thing?  Are you now going to visit a Stargoid before they visit you and just what do you think the Stargoids are up to in the Colesack Nebula? Let us know in the comments below That's it for now.

But Frank, why should I get a tattoo? Pretty simple, actually. A lot of baddies have tattoos and baddies like dudes with tattoos. Therefore, if you want a girl with a pretty face and fat kuchi, getting a tattoo will drastically increase your chances of doing so. And people don't really care about their health in general. So why would they start considering any potential issues with getting a tattoo? However, even those that are health-conscious are generally convinced otherwise by authority, you know that whatever they're doing is perfectly healthy and the true real negatives are pretty hard to find even when you're looking for them. When you physically get a tattoo, basically a bunch of tiny needles that go deep into the second layer of skin, inserting different types of ink to create said artistic images. And this comes with two predominant risks. One being the initial tattooing and two being the reactions and long-term damage from having the ink, the toxins in your body. So these initial tattoo risks are from physically getting the tattoo and typically occur in the immediate healing process. Of course, there is physical pain and discomfort from sitting under a needle for hours and hours and if you choose to use numbing cream, those creams can have pretty strong nerve side effects causing a lot of stress on the body to detox, especially the brain.  Allergies, you know, reactions to the ink, the different colored pigments, which can happen immediately or prolong themselves over years and years. Of course, you have scarring, scar tissue, raised bombs, distortion of the tattoo and some people have very sensitive skin, whereas other people do not. And I guess you can lump potential cosmetic problems and dissatisfaction with the tattoo here. Now, the main thing making these tattoos bad is, you know, what's physically in them, the ink. Having two components, the carrier and colorant also has additives, including binding agents, fillers, preservatives, things to avoid the growth of bacteria, prolong the shelf life of the product. The carrier is the fluid that transports the colorant to the tattoo area, typically containing isopropyl alcohol, glycerin, water, other organic or non-organic ingredients. And this reminds me of native deodorant, you know, having similar stuff in it.  It's not good for you. You don't want it in your body. The colorant, obviously giving color to the tattoo, pigments made out of intensely colored compounds that reflect light, you know, essentially finely ground solid particles mixed with liquid. And there's two kinds of pigments, organic and inorganic. Organic pigments coming from natural sources while inorganic pigments, the same ones used in paint, printing ink and plastic are much worse for you. Now, especially in the last 20 years, most tattoo artists have been using more inorganic or synthetic pigments, you know, derived from petrochemicals like coal tar because they look brighter, last longer, essentially making a better tattoo. But it's worse for you. Today, most tattoo inks, especially those brighter colored ones, are created from compounds that mostly use heavy metals, cadmium, chromium, copper, cobalt or lead. And regardless of whether they're organic or inorganic, any highly colored compound is so concentrated with chemicals and toxins and stuff you don't want in your body. Once you understand that, it's kind of like, okay, why would I willingly inject toxins and chemicals that probably amount to years and years of having a polluted lifestyle?  Your body is attacking the ink as a foreign invader, bringing it to the liver and breaking it down so it can be removed from the body. And tying into, you know, sun exposure and tanning, kind of ruining tattoos. I think vitamin D, you know, plays a big role in the immune system and getting it to work better. And also, the sun physically fades away the ink. So those initial tattoo risks seem pretty insignificant compared to potential long-term oxidative stress on the body. You know, those toxic particles from tattoo ink penetrating the skin, traveling through the body, the bloodstream, the lymphatic system, German and French scientists identified nanoparticles of titanium dioxide, one of the additives in white and color tattoo pigments, in the lymph nodes of deceased individuals while they were conducting the autopsies. So after people were dead, they had high concentrations of toxins in their immune system. The lymph nodes are kind of like rest stops for your body, the fluids going through. Everything that isn't supposed to be there is held to be detoxed. Problem is, our modern, highly damaging lives, all of these negative factors accumulate, making it near impossible to remove it effectively. And you could find dozens and dozens of articles linking tattoos to negative things like skin cancer, but you don't have to do that to utilize common sense. Very simple. Certain tattoo inks, most of them, have toxins, and after being injected into your body, are attacked by the immune system, attempting to remove them. Problem is, those toxins are injected into the body in astronomical amounts over a very short period of time. To the point you can argue, they can never be effectively detoxed over a lifetime. You humans are very resilient, and in most cases, a minor level of inflammation from the tattoo toxins is something people take for granted as how they're supposed to feel. You can find non-toxic tattoo inks. I believe indigenous tribes use black ash from burned wood, which don't create as great of a tattoo. It doesn't last as long. It's not as vibrant to my knowledge, but at least you're not poisoning yourself. In regards to tattoo removal, it seems like laser is the only real option, and a lot of the chemicals and stuff are very, very, very toxic and even worse for you than the tattoo over a short period of time. Laser is very painful, and you kind of have to find someone that knows what they're doing. And speaking of the indigenous tribes and what they used to do, I'm sure the history of tattoos can be looked into, but putting black carbon ash in your body is certainly far better for you than any of this crap.

Today, I'll talk about how much sugar is hidden in a drink like iced tea Ice tea is a very popular drink around the globe And the manufacturers try to make it sound like a healthier option when it comes to a drink For example, here you'll see green tea flavor green tea mango flavor, which is supposed to be a healthy drink And here naturally flavored iced green tea So green tea is They make it sound like green tea is a refreshing drink that goes down smooth and it's good for your health But what they don't tell you is that how much sugar is hidden in this Tea Although by law, they have to mention right here that The content of the drink the nutrition facts And what's in it? For example here it says made with real tea Which is supposed to be a good thing Right here Made with real tea However, if you look at the sugar content, most of us do not realize that how much sugar We are consuming from A can of iced tea or a glass of iced tea So for example here, this is an st 500 sorry 695 ml iced tea and which has 210 calories, that's fine and per can You'll see here that the sugar is 54 gram. So let's Bring it closer So sugar right here. Okay. So if you look at the sugar content sugar 54 gram So most of us would look at it or just, you know at a glance and wouldn't even realize how much sugar We are consuming And even it has lots of sodium Which I wouldn't talk about today, but let's concentrate on sugars Which is 54 gram in this 695 ml iced tea now to put it in context how much is 54 gram of sugar That's what I'll show you today. However, this video is not about the Bad effects of sugar everyone knows that and if you're interested you can search online by putting in sugar is bad or the Effects of sugar on health then you'll be able to see What can sugar Do to your body? So it's a very bad thing. You should avoid it at any cost However, if you are drinking Like this, let's say can of iced tea here and a can of soda or coke Or a cup of coffee or cup of cappuccino Or cup of iced coffee then The amount of sugar you're going to be putting in your body is humongous So just let's take a look at it here. How much sugar is in here? So what I'll do just for Fun, like just let's take open up this up Okay, so I'll try to open it. Okay, so I opened it What I can do I can just have a sip. Yes, it tastes good. It tastes like a Mango and green tea And I'll just put some in a cup So here we have Iced tea. I just had another sip Now The sugar again is 54 grams. So what I'll do I'll take this One teaspoon So in general one teaspoon is about four grams of sugar so force time force A four gram of sugar and 54 gram of Sugar in here and four gram of Four gram per spoon. This spoon has should contain four gram So what I'll do I'll just take the sugar from here and slightly Put 54 gram sugar in this cup to give you a visualization of How much sugar would that be? now Let's start pouring in from here. So here So I should be putting in 13.5 spoon. So here's one Here's two. Just let's let's move this a little bit. Here's three Here's four. Here's five Here's six seven eight nine 10 11 Here's 12 There's 13 So it should be 13.5. So the rest of it I should take like this Hold on just like this Half of a spoon. So here this is again You'll see that this spoon is Okay here one teaspoon and here We have 13.5 teaspoon of sugar Which is right here 54 gram of sugar so Okay, so what you are doing by drinking this can You are putting in this much sugar in your body and this is like This tiny cup. This uh, I'm not tiny this cup. This is a half cup sugar So if you just leave it side by side It looks like almost one fourth or even could be one fifth of this drink is sugar now If I if I would give this to anyone Anyone with a conscience or anyone who has a little bit of thinking Would not just take this much this much sugar and Eat it the whole thing Because you know, it would come to your mind right where that this is going to do a lot of damage to your body but Due to the fact that this much sugar is hiding in here we Drink this drink, uh, which is nasty Ice tea or this type of drink other drinks. They're like, you know coke Uh ice coffee and so any other drinks We drink this type of uh drink Without even thinking or without even visualizing What we are putting inside your body. So if you have like, you know, a couple of these It's going to be more than full glass of sugar So if you're drinking these every day The damage you're doing to your body. It's hard to describe what's going to happen to you So if you're interested then, you know, do some search online and see the bad effects of sugar and if you'd like to be healthy and Leave a healthy and longer And Life without being sick then stop drinking This type of drink or any drinks which has So much sugar hiding inside it So this uh, this is a video just to give you a visualization of the sugar And what you're putting in in our what we're putting in your body And hopefully, uh, whoever is watching this will stop drinking this type of drink and Switch to healthier options with less sugar or without sugar.

Hi everyone, Joe for JaspysCaseBreaks.com coming at you with a Topps Chrome Baseball Update Hobby Box, Random Team Break number six. The last filler we got to do to unlock that NT Random Number Block Break, that's coming up in the next video if you're looking for that. We'll do that randomizer with the second dice roll at the end. First dice roll will be for the group break. There are the names, there are the teams. First roll at randomized names and teams, five and a one, six times each. One, two, three, four, five, and a one. And then five and a one, six times for the teams, one, two, and a one, six and final time. Got red down to braves, no trade windows and filler breaks, but here's the first half of the list right here, there's a second half right there, could be some surprises in here, right in this, in this box, who's got, well let's just alphabetize this by team name and let's print and rip. Ed with the Royals, Ed also has the Mariners, Kevin Tigers. Good luck everybody, we'll re-randomize this list with a different dice roll at the end and see who gets into the next break, who moves on. A wild, wild card weekend ladies and gentlemen, yesterday I know it was a baseball break, but football is on the forefront, especially during the playoffs. I thought Seattle was going to keep it close, but Niners are just too good, they started pulling away Brock Purdy, what a story. Looked as cool as a cucumber out there, that was a Saturday game, that was yesterday. Then the Chargers at Jacksonville, looks like the Chargers are just going to run away with it, but that late first half, that late first half touchdown by the Jags, after four interceptions by Trevor Lawrence, late touchdown and then what happened in the locker rooms, but Chargers couldn't get anything going and the Jaguars were just clicking, maybe that's the difference in coaching right there. My, my assumption is that Brandon Staley's going to get fired. Probably by Sunday, maybe Monday, by tomorrow. Now Sean Payton is out there, but I think Sean Payton is going to get a lot of offers from a lot of people, from a lot of teams that will probably spend more on a salary than the Chargers owners. Early game Sunday was pretty exciting, Buffalo ended up beating Miami 34 to 31. But man, the, the bills were almost two touchdown favorites, so Miami kept it real close. They had chances to win that game, if Tua was there, that's definitely a W. So the purple parallels are exclusive to this update set. Not every box has an autograph, but there is a chance. These refractors, the All-Star Game Refractors not numbered, but the non-All-Star Refractors are numbered. Here's a Bobby Witt Jr., that'll be for Ed and the Royals. We've got a Generation Now Julio Rodriguez insert, also for Ed, as the Mariners as well. Julio Rodriguez, Bryce Harper, that's for Ed, and the Mariners. Got a Vidal Bruhan, 44 out of 99 for the Rays. It's going to go to Danny, and you'll see his teammate in here somewhere. Here's a Julio Rodriguez. Refractor, All-Star Game Refractor, nice. And a Carlos Rodone, Giant's Edition on the bottom. Not bad. Now, let's see who's going to win those, those number block spots. Let's see who's going to advance to the next round. Let's gather everybody's names here. New dice, new list. And we're going to randomize it four and a five, nine times. Top four after nine. Fingers crossed. Good luck. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and a ninth in final time. So there's going to be a lot of sad faces here. Only the top four can get in. So spot five, Craig, very close, but not quite. Thanks for giving it a go. Thanks, five through 30. Thank you very much. We'll get them next time. Top four. We'll see you in the next video. Jeremy, Ed, Ed, and Corey. Congrats. The top four. We'll see you in the next video for that number block break. Jasper'scasebreaks.com. Bye.
