Should I put a quarter in? Wood has gotten quite expensive lately, which always seems kind of weird to me because I'm pretty sure this stuff grows on trees. But to get a finished piece of wood, like your standard two by four from a tree, takes a lot of steps. And when there's a disruption to that complex distribution system, costs can suddenly skyrocket when supply can no longer meet demand. What if you cut up the middleman and went straight from tree to mill lumber doing every step yourself using your own hand tools? Well, let's give that a shot and see how much it would cost to produce our own simple two by four by doing every step ourselves. The process of going from a tree to pre-cut dimensional lumber can be a bit of a procedure that we're very detached from today. For many, a finished two by four feels almost completely foreign from the tree it originally came from. And it's just this default modern building block for use for anything from building houses to furniture. But nevertheless, at its origin, a modern two by four starts its life as a tree. Usually a softwood tree, such as a spruce, pine, or fir. In the US, most of the softwood lumber comes from the West Coast and are often harvested from second growth forests which were planted 50 to 60 years ago. Once an area is ready to be harvested, the desired trees are marked and then cut down and delimbed. From there, they are transported to the sawmill. First, I ran through a deep barker to remove the outer bark. Then begins the milling process of slicing the logs to the desired sizes. Previously, we got to film a mobile sawmill to help cut some hardwood. It shows the general method of cutting a log into dimensional lumber. The next step is the drying or seasoning of the wood, which removes all the moisture and the freshly cut wood. In the drying process, the wood will shrink from what it was cut to. Lastly, after drying, the wood is passed through planers, which gives the lumber a smooth finish with round corners. It's these last two steps that cause a two by four to not actually be two inches by four inches as a finished product. The shrinkage during drying and the extra milling removes about a half an inch from each dimension, leaving the modern two by four is actually one and a half inches by three and a half. From here, the lumber is graded by quality and shipped out to your local lumber yard. For my two by four, I tried to find a more local source of a tree in the Minnesota area. And after a lot of emails and exchanges with several forestry organizations and companies, I only ran into a dead end on finding a good source. I ideally wanted to gain access to a tree and a forest and figure out how much a single tree would cost to buy the rights to. But a variety of issues caused that to be pretty much impossible to figure out. So after a fair amount of searching over the past summer, I found the answer to my problems is to look within my own yard. So when I first bought this property two years ago, this tree was not looking the greatest, was still alive, and I was hoping it might come back. I noticed at the end of this year that it has pretty much completely died. There are no leaves on here. And it's very convenient because it's basically that species and size I was looking for. Got a few obstacles to cut it, but power lines, power lines on both sides, conveniently the direction it leans. The process is gonna be to cut it in segments and try and pull it away from everything. I believe that these are basically little kid shin guards for soccer that are zip tied to the metal, but I think for our needs it'll work. So this should basically just has two spikes and let me just dig in and climb up as I go. Probably get up to a certain height and remember that I have a fear of heights and we'll see what happens at that point. So I've gotten a lot of the tree limbs removed and cleared. Now a little bit of deliberation. I'm trying to figure out what to do next. I think it's a lot harder as it gets higher up. A lot more obstacles and a lot less confidence as the whole thing starts to wiggle. After getting a closer look at the challenges involved in actually cutting my tree and not getting electrocuted, I opted to not risk my life and bring in a professional to take care of it. Big thanks to Peach Tree Care, a local Twin Cities based tree removal service who are pros at handling any tree from massive to small. Check them out if you need a tree removed or trimmed in the Minneapolis, St. Paul area. How long have you been doing this for? I've been doing tree work for about 10 years. Kind of what we did was kind of orthodox, but effective. It was a tight situation with the power line and stuff like that. So it's got a rope in the top. We knew it was dead and really light so we shouldn't do anything. Really crazy, but stuff we've been doing a long time so we kind of know what we can and cannot do. We work in the Twin Cities and around usually. If anybody needs any tree work out here, give us a call. So one issue we really have to deal with historically is high power lines, potentially getting in the way of your tree felling. So I had some professionals come and take just a little bit off the top so we don't have to worry about that and left the rest of the tree here for my own cutting. And for this we have the Viking axe that was forged of the axes we made. I don't think we've really tested this on a full tree and this will be the biggest tree we actually try and cut. Before this we've done stone, native copper and bronze and they've each yielded a better performance of each one and I expect this one to probably very easily be the best. This is a good over a foot thick so it's gonna take a little bit I think. Historically when it comes to turning a tree into usable lumber, there are few techniques we've explored in our past projects. Perhaps the simplest is riving where you split a log along the grains of the wood. This works fairly well for straight timber without many knots but doesn't produce perfectly square and straight lumber. The other option is hewing where you effectively chop a log into desired dimensions with an axe. This was the standard method for producing lumber for most of history until the industrial sawmill came in and supplanted it. But before the sawmill there was also the option of sewing it by hand which to best get something comparable to a modern two by four is a process we'll be doing. The historical way to mill log into lumber is either using a pit or a pair of giant saw horses which allows a two person crew to run the saw from above and below slowly working your way down the length of the log. So we have our log put up on these nice saw horses giant saw horses that Lauren put together to prevent us from having to dig a huge pit which is the other method. This is the saw blade that we forge. This is supposed to be for the sawmill but first we're gonna use it for our actual hand milling. But it's a little short for this. It should work, but just in case I made a much bigger one it's a little bit more appropriate for a two person team. So that should hopefully speed things up. Basically exact same process to build it just a lot longer. Made the teeth a little bit finer. So first step we'll put a chalk line get a straight line that will cut along and they'll be eventually the bottom and we'll square everything off of that.  The touch wobbly which isn't great when we're sawing on it but I feel a lot better now. A little bit more. This was also left in the rain so it's nice and wet probably even harder to saw. Actually seem to be having better luck with the smaller saw I think just because we had larger teeth they really get a little bit more curfewing which creates a bigger channel so the saw blade doesn't bind. That's the main challenge with the other one. A lot easier to use but hopefully we get further enough in we can add a wedge to split it out and kind of resolve that issue for the most part but this is pretty slow going so far and this is the end that has rotten so it might get even harder as we go. Things are now going as smoothly as hoped. Seems the main issue with the big one at least is kind of the curfewing so it keeps binding and it makes it really hard to like get a good full stroke. It is incredibly exhausting and I don't know how much further we can go beyond this few inches which is very unpromising rather than trying to power through it it's better to kind of rethink, re-examine make sure we get all of these teeth of the saws and everything set up in the most efficient way possible before we burn ourselves out.

Alright so we're back at it for day two of the milling and hopefully this time a little bit better success. So I went through and made a few improvements to the saw blade here. Basically doubled the size of the teeth, cut out every other one and then was able to add some better curfewing to it to allow us to a little bit wider cut for the blade. So hopefully some find. And then as backup got another saw here some pretty large teeth. So I also did thin down the blade and the unfortunate thing of that is when the frame falls out of the frame you got pressure on it, it's gonna bend it back up. So as we were doing it I think it got a little loose. The bottom pin came out and then it got squished. So just straighten that out, get back in the frame get things tightened up again. Should be good as new. A little crooked, a little trouble keeping it straight or making pretty good progress. When you're in the bottom you definitely get a lot of sawdust in your face, your eyes and in your mouth. So that's fun. But yeah, a little bit of curve to correct for but so far we're about to put in. So I think we're about ready to move the saw horse out and just soften the middle and get the rest of it. All right, so it took about three hours. So we got our first cut. It's really straight. Honestly better than I expected. Yeah, when sawing it it looked super wonky. Yeah, got pretty bad at the end. I think there's a lot of knots. Just overall I can tell there's just a lot of knots in this thing. Just don't look at that. Yeah, yeah, we got to clean up the end a little bit still. Just kind of split at the end. Took three of us about three hours at least to do this first cut. That was with a lot of breaks. I think that was probably the main thing that slowed us down is that it's very exhausting and we had to stop and rest a fair amount of times. So I think if you're in shape and you got the motion down it probably would be a lot quicker. But yeah, so that's three hours for one cut and we got three more. So we're running low on daylight. So I don't know if we're gonna get our board done today. Each successive cut should hopefully be a little bit smaller, a little bit narrower. So hopefully we should speed up after this. Less resistance, hopefully it'll be easier. Show me my snowman. Well, update on him. Oh, that guy, he does not rock in his glasses right now. But he is hitting the dude. Cool as hell. All right, so we got halfway there. We have two sides and I think this cut is a bit straighter. This one went a lot quicker. It was a little bit over an hour. Yeah. The other one took three and it was still very difficult and that was just because we're all really exhausted and you can only go for short bursts. So that's slowed things down a lot. We're at like four hours now I think just to get these two cuts and still got two more to go to finish the two by four. For the last two cuts I opted to switch to indoors and sawing solo with the log clamp vertically. Another method I've seen depicted in some illustrations. To make all the cuts four or two by four and as you can tell, she's a little crooked. Not the straightest cuts. Got a little bit of curve here and there and not even all that square. Sawing by hand leaves a lot of room for random variable-ness and it's something that I think is a big advantage to the sawmill is that it was a consistent mechanical repetitive motion that would produce a consistent result.    And with that I think I can just do a little bit of handy work with a draw knife and whittle out an actual straighter two by four here. So try not to spend too much time but try and clean it up a little bit and see if you can get a little bit nicer looking two by four out of this. So it did a fair amount of cleaning and draw knifing this guy. I think he's looking a lot better and a lot closer to an actual two by four took out some of the thicker areas so you have to kind of average out some of the curve and this is a much more promising two by four I would say. We have a kind of standard one here for comparison. It's a little bit thick, a little uneven, still a bit rough, passable for two by four. I think I've seen considerably worse boards than this for sale at Home Depot. I'm gonna consider that a pretty good win. This is obviously a pretty learned skill. The better you get at it, the better your results gonna be. But I think for a first attempt, I'm pretty happy with this. But how much did it cost? So the first cut on this took three hours but that was with three people. So that's a total of nine hours of labor and the second cut was a little bit quicker and only took an hour but that was still with three people. So that's three hours of labor. And the third cut slowed down a little bit with that two hours but that was just by myself. So that's only two hours of labor and then the last cut was only one hour. So that puts a total of 15 hours to mill this two by four. If you were someone who's a little bit more experienced at this, you could probably cut down those hours. I wouldn't be surprised if you could do it in half the time. So today's minimum wage of $13.50 here in Minneapolis, Minnesota that is $229.50 of labor just to produce this. When I was able to squeeze out a few pennies by cutting down the tree I owned that would already need to be filled, it ended up costing $250 to have the tree people come and make sure I didn't electrocute myself to death. That puts us at almost $500 for this two by four. For comparison, during 2021 when timber prices got pretty crazy high, they were up like 500% of the normal value. A two by four which sometimes costs $3 was going for the astronomical price of 15. Mine cost almost 500. The exact price is $479.50 using the minimum wage here right now in Minneapolis.  And the answer is that's kind of what this channel is about, exploring the things we just kind of take for granted and trying to see just how difficult it would be to actually do it yourself. And the main set of rules is that I can only use things that I have made and effectively unlocked. And a big thing for a lot of future projects is having dimensional lumber and timber to work with rather than having to spend 15 hours on each board. And this also acts as a baseline for one of my large upcoming projects that I've been trying to work on for a while. I'm basically trying to industrialize and produce a water-powered sawmill.

It's day 35 of the Tightwad Dad vlog. Hello, I'm Neil. We are in a field with lots of carjump. Every day I try to find the joy in my family's spending. And today we've started a day with a big spend. We'll come to this auto-jumble. I see them! I see them! And we've lost everyone else. Music I'd like to live in one of these. A nicer than our house. Slowly, so that's a joy. It would be a joy of 10. Yeah! But it's dripping on my head, so that is a joy of three. Okay, I'm looking after the kids, which actually means warming up the food that was left out for them, for me.  I'm going to use this hack that I saw on the internet last night. I'm sure it'll work. It involves frankfurters, which are my, I think, third favourite food. Chop up the frankfurters, maybe a bit bigger. Just experiment with different sizes. And then, get the pasta. I'm doing this with one hand. Can you turn the tally down? And you thread it through, like that.  Maybe I'll try a few strands. Music Hmm, frankfurters ready for pasta. Music So that's it. That's all from the vlog today. It's some play-out music. If you've reached this point in the video, why not hit us up with a thumbs up? And thanks for subscribing. We'll be back tomorrow. Can you please help my daddy get 1000 subscribers? Just click on the space. Thanks, bye. How was that?


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 1986 film The Hitcher and When I was watching this it was on HBO Max So if it's still there you should be able to get it now This is kind of a bit of a classic especially when it comes to the performance of Rucker Hauer Who is the biggest name in this film obviously unless you're a big see Thomas Howell fan, you know the outsiders and The outsiders or also Jennifer Jason Lee who was in like fast times at Ridgemont High The hateful eight what else was she in all sorts of stuff Existence that was another favorite of mine the machinist annihilation white boy Rick She was in many many things, but anyway So this film was directed by Robert Harmon who did the film's eyes of an angel nowhere to run and they Those were the just a few of his written by Eric Redd who wrote Near dark this is a film I hear about a lot. I have not yet seen it It's been on my list for some time to see people rave about near dark So I will be seeing it. So just know that the guy who wrote near dark wrote The Hitcher He also wrote the remake of The Hitcher which was done in 2007 and I believe produced by Michael Bay I did not see it partially because well big part because I don't like Michael Bay He also wrote body parts as well as bad moon, which I know there's a big fandom for bad moon out there So just letting you know It had a five point eight million dollar budget and it ended up making seven point nine million So it wasn't huge. It didn't make a lot of money, but it was successful. It didn't lose money. So that's good Redd originally wrote the script for it when he was taking a road trip He was moving to I forget where he's moving from but he was moving to Austin, Texas And while he was on this trip He was listening to the song Riders on the Storm by the doors and it's just started going over in his head the concept of this you know hitchhiker and the deaths on the path of These kind of desolate roads and he just kept thinking about it because he had all this time to drive So once he got to Austin and you know got himself settled He got a job as a taxi driver and while he was doing his taxi driving He in his free time was writing the script for the hitcher So he went out and he sent him out to a bunch of studios to see if he could get someone to Become interested in the script But a lot passed because he had a lot of really violent and gory stuff in it that didn't end up making it in this final Version of the film so I kind of wish that they had that someone had signed on with them the Goryer and more violent version of the script and then maybe they cut it down after the fact so maybe we could have gotten like a really good directors cut maybe but Alas that did not happen because a lot of the studios were very reticent to say yes to it in the first place and Two of the main reasons being there were two scenes in particular that they really wanted to stay away from one was The scene in the diner where he's eating the french fries where Jim the character of Jim's eating the french fries And not really paying attention and then he picks up the severed finger Initially that was actually supposed to be an eyeball in his burger, which obviously would be a lot more gross And I wish that was the case in there That would have been a much better one because it was also more It would also be more believable that he would actually like bite into a burger without seeing the eyeball Especially if it's like kind of in the middle As opposed to the finger and the fries a little less believable. He would just pick it up the other scene being It's alluded to in the actual film itself But it was actually shown and focused on in the script And that is the tearing of Nash the woman played by Jennifer Jason Lee When she she gets torn in half now in the film It just kind of fades of black and you're just left to assume that that's what happened to her But in the script it actually is shown so those were the two scenes that really made studios want to pass on it But finally there was a studio that said yes And they had to you know Hash out how to take the violence and gore down which a lot of it got taken out Unfortunately, they wanted to cut it down even further and they wanted to actually even go away from even alluding to Nash getting ripped in half, but Harmon and red were so Persistent that that portion had to be in it was very important to the story So they compromised on just kind of fading the black at that point Harmon actually viewed the film as a hitch cocky and thriller Which if you think about it, you can kind of see that and him kind of saying that is one of the things that really endeared red to him to take it out to take that and be the director for it Sam Elliott and Michael Ironside were actually considered for the character of John Rider. We know being Rucker Hauer I think Rucker Hauer did an awesome job with that role. The only other roles I like love love love Rucker Hauer for obviously is role in Blade Runner and also Hobo with a shotgun. Oh, yeah I mean he's good in everything but like when you think of awesome iconic Rucker Hauer performances You think of the hitcher hobo with a shotgun and Blade Runner at least I do So the beginning of this does the important job of establishing just how desolate of a terrain is being traveled by Jim And this continues throughout it Which keeps the tension at a very high level because it means more danger and the audience just assumes that because you can't go around and get help from anyone and That becomes even more so later in the film when even when he gets to a part where he can Potentially find some people My cat's being weird when he can potentially find some people to potentially help out He becomes even further isolated by the fact that he gets framed for killings by Rider and then he's basically Even though there are people around he's definitely alone because he can't make himself known He can't just show up because he's suspected of being the killer instead of Rider So it it even though he has people around him He's even more alone than the opening shot of the scene of the film And this is why they say by the way never pick up a hitchhiker I'm sure that a lot of people who did pick up hitchhikers after seeing this movie back then in the 80s were like Nope not doing that anymore because yeah, it'll do that for you much like when jaws made people think about yeah I don't want to go in the water anymore because there could be a shark in there. It's kind of similar Right rider immediately suspicious as hell And it's an interesting choice to kind of play him as suspicious immediately and not really care about hiding who he is He's so outward about like just not being nice and not even trying to like Woo Jim into like a feeling of false Comfort he's immediately just like I mean I'm gonna kill you basically and It's such a weird character choice, but it ends up really working for what the rest of the script and the rest of story ends up being So I like that about him. He's just cold. He's crazy. He just doesn't care He's just an evil dude who wants to do sadistic things to as many people as possible Jim may as well my thought when they got stopped stopped at the construction area And he you know kind of wanted to make a run for it But and ended up not doing it at that point my thought at that point was Why wouldn't you try and get away right then?  Yeah, you might get killed, but you're gonna get killed anyway So from a real-life standpoint, I think he would have tried to get away at that point But you know you also never know what you would do in that actual situation This is someone as an audience member watching a movie saying this is what I would do. It's not real life. So It's a chilling moment when Jim sees rider in the car with the family after he you know Boots him out of the car and at that point he kind of has to make this decision of do I just Keep going keep my head down and ignore the fact that this family is probably gonna be murdered in cold blood and Just be happy with the fact that I'm now safe I got out of my dangerous situation But no, obviously he makes the choice of my conscience will not allow that I need to try and save this family even though if he even gets him to pull over and Get him out of the car. I would assume in that in that situation Jim would also pull over He's putting himself back in danger and then obviously that's what happens is he reinserts himself into the situation with rider And that's what creates this whole cat and mouse thing I think to keep going and I think it's also this thing that drives it where You know Jim was the one that got away from rider and he's just not gonna let that go and that's why He toys with him even more and then I think there's also this level that develops of He also kind of respects Jim For putting up more of a fight for creating this chase scenario because it seems that he's usually more used to Just getting what he wants with murdering people and not having to really work for it a whole lot So I think it did that when he meets Jim it kind of changes this situation for him and he's more exhilarated He's like oh, it's more like a game. It's an actual chase And that I think in the end is what ends up being that connection between the two that that sheriff Was talking about in the car at the end of the film like that's the connection of you know He he told he just kept toying with him because he loved the fact that the chase was still happening And there was that level of respect that Jim was garnering from rider for being like that And I just think that's really interesting Imagine being the person driving that flaming car after the gas station blows up When Jim's in the car and driving away how many flames were on that car? I don't think I would touch that but then again you got to get out of there So it's one of those moments Nash's comment about the police taking forever to respond when they're in the diner Let's the audience know that even if help is coming it's gonna take a while So most likely there's enough time for rider to get in there and potentially kill So they do a good job dropping things like that in the film to kind of keep the tension high And and that's one of the great things about this film is the tension remains high Throughout pretty much. I don't know many moments where it actually like stops because even when there's down moments in the film The audience is still thinking he's still out there And the fact that he just keeps popping up rider just keeps popping up You always have that in your mind and you're always thinking he's just gonna pop up again And it could be at any moment even if there's not much going on in the film. So well done keeping the tension up The circumstances of Jim looking suspicious are actually believable believable within the context of the story So that's some really nice writing. It's hard to pull stuff like that off And when people see it be like, oh, well, that's actually believable within the story. So good job read for that The killer is so good and people encountered are so unaware that it seems that there's basically no stopping the killer That's just another one of those things that ratchets the tension up and just makes it like this is an impossible scenario for Jim Jim had a hard time finding people to help him before But being on the run as a suspected killer means he can't even ask for help at that point It's something I talked about then It's an interesting one because it kind of dangles the carrot of here is hope when he finds actual people and then it's just dashed that fast when automatically he's seen as or immediately he's seen as a potential Suspected killer and then the actions he takes after that Don't necessarily help with that situation, but he's kind of forced into it I mean, he really is forced into it because he becomes a sitting duck and other people become sitting ducks because at that point He's the only one who's aware that there's that killer out there So he really feels a sense of responsibility that he has to take care of it And that's why in the very end of the film he takes care of it even though that means holding the sheriff at gunpoint Because he knows otherwise You know either he's gonna be killed because he'll be a sitting duck somewhere because writer won't stop coming Or other people are gonna be killed, but most likely both of those scenarios. So The moment when Jim thinks about killing himself. I get it It seems like a really helpless moment when he's out in the desert And he just like holds the barrel the gun to like his chin Like that's a moment with a lot of gravity because as an audience member you can feel it you can feel like Yeah, I understand this if he takes his life at this point because everything was so hopeless at that point And it remains feeling like that almost throughout the film until the very end and that's one of the great things about the film A great scene is when writer ends up sitting down in Roy's cafe with Jim and The realization that happens at that point that the gun that he had had no bullets in it And then it's an interesting twist too because then the fact that writer gives him the bullets then So it's the continuation of that game Once the helicopter shows up in this It's kind of like how much further can this go because it just seems like keeps Seeming like it's just like one up at one up at one up at one up it and when the helicopter happens You're just like, okay, it's so big now like they've gone so big with this whole chase Can't even go further and I mean it does and that's one of the interesting things about the story and the way the script is written Is that it keeps stepping things up stepping things up stepping things up and it doesn't feel crazy It doesn't feel outlandish for what? You know what the story was that was set up The part of Jim giving writer his hand and then spitting on him is A really odd moment and I don't really know what the purpose of that was that's something I think should have been taken out of the film. It's just really odd That's when Ryder's being interrogated and Jim says he wants to go in and talk to him and he goes in and he like hands him His hand and Ryder takes it with both his hands and just like holds in his like looking at him and then he spits in his face I Just don't get what that was for you don't need that at all You're like you really don't need that moment, but put it put in the comments if you have a theory on that I'd love to hear it. It just seems to me like it shouldn't be there Like it didn't do anything for the film. It's just weird But maybe that was a point of it is just to be weird the payoff of Jim shooting Ryder in the end is Very much heightened by the fact that he was challenged multiple times to shoot Ryder Throughout the film and it was by Ryder, you know Ryder kept being like, you know try and shoot me You can't shoot me first It's because he can't shoot him because there are no bullets because he does eventually try to and realizes There are no bullets and then second it's because He knows he can't shoot him at that point because it's when he's in the truck and he's got his foot on the brake And if he shoots him then he lets go of it and then Nash gets pulled in half So it's these two moments of he just can't shoot him So then it's that that big release in the very end when he finally has the ability to legitimately Shoot him and take him out Neutralize that threat not just for himself, but for everyone on those roads So the con the concept of this film has actually been kind of used in different ways since I mean Jeepers Creepers Not a lot, but to a degree Jeepers Creepers a little bit is used it and then that film joy ride So but my favorite that I think is kind of inspired by it is a Larry Cohen film that he did for the Masters of Horror I think it was the first season. Yeah, I think it was the first season I think it was called pick me up and it's basically a lot like the hitcher But it's two serial killers involved in it if you haven't seen it check that out that Larry Cohen film pick me up. It's really good really recommend it the plays This plays off fears of isolation that are coupled with the fear of being accused of something you didn't do and Just being unable to convince people that it wasn't you and that you're actually trying to go after the perpetrator So it plays on those fears It also makes the point that sometimes there are just people out there who are just sadistic and just devoid of actual reason There's a lot. There are a few moments in this film where there's kind of these questions asked of why is he doing this? What is going on? What's the point and in the end like there really isn't a point? You know, I put the theory out there that maybe it's more just he keeps it going on because he likes the thrill of the chase Like it's a game to him, but in the end like there's nowhere a why for him to kill people He's just a bad sadistic person and that's a scary thing to think about and Yeah, and then just my final thought in the connection was the in addition to the whole thing about you know Rider having potentially some respect for Jim and that's why he lets him live so long plus he wants to chase maybe he sees a little bit of himself in Jim and that little bit of fight that he sees in him and his personality that Maybe he lets him live a little bit because he sees a little bit of himself And that's why he kind of hesitates and actually killing him But I think that's a little bit weaker of a theory than what I already said so but anyway good film obviously put your comments down here about what you think about the hitcher and Now I'm gonna give it the rating so out of five stars with half stars in play I'm gonna give it a very solid four star rating. This is a good film. It's not perfect But it's a it's quite a good film and it holds up over time too. So Yeah, put your comments down there.

Gold contract down $5.60, trading at $15.07 an ounce. You have silver down 2 cents, $17.60 an ounce, light sweet crude up 54 cents, $53.36 a barrel, notes and bonds. Ten year down eight ticks, trading $131.21, the third year off a half a point of 16 ticks at $164.16. Let's get over those notes and bonds first. Why? Because what you had folks on Friday is this, you had the S&P 500 up 57 points, but yet the 10 year as well as the third year would not back off. They had volume, it's pushing the highs with volume, what is that saying? That saying that the 10 as well as the 30 wants to go up to its highs of September third. That's $132.13. We had the 10 year this morning get down a price yield of 1.50, we're at 1.53 right now. The low that was established in September was 1.42, the all-time low was 1.31. And bottom line, the note and bond market is still not believing that the S&P wants to go higher. In fact, it's telling us that that's a dead cat bounce. Kingdala, what do we have with Kingdala? Kingdala failed to hold price last week. Kingdala right now is trading at a price point of $98,795. Now in order to get into lower range folks, Kingdala is going to get down to $98,371. When we take a look at the S&P, what you have with the S&P is that you had a nice bounce last week. You went up two days and your volume dropped dramatically. We're talking about we made a low first with 284, 85 million shares. So what that was, that was a rejection of lower price, did have lighter volume. Then you get the bounce. You went from 85 million, you get the bounce up here with 66 million. The 66 million folks is going into 142 million, what I expect you to see right here. We are building cars once again to get down into the August 5th timeframe, which is 281.72. Gold. What did gold do? Objected lower price last week. Had lighter volume. Gold is building cars for higher price. Gold wants to go after it's all time, well not all time high. The high of September, which is 1566. Right now you're at 1507. To recap out here, we have the Dow Industries right now trading down 105. Nasdaq's off 32. S&P's are down 13.5. We'll come right back.


Hi everyone, Raif Derrazy here and in this video I wanted to do a little recap of some of the HIV news from the week of June 12th This is a new thing for me. I'm just trying it out So I just pulled some interesting articles that I found and then I'll do a little recap of those By the way, before I go into this, I just want to say that this is by no means an exhaustive List of all the news. There's probably so much news that I couldn't even cover in a Relatively long video, and I don't want to do a relatively long video. I want to keep this relatively concise I am one person. I cannot commit full-time to to digging into all of this And I would also hate to misrepresent News so I'll do my best to give you a little brief and then I'll include the links to each of the articles that I cover in The description box below if you want to read into it more and do your own digging as well So this first article Scientists hopeful after making HIV drug breakthrough in hunt for dementia cure So dementia is a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the brain causing brain cell death Our body normally removes these toxic proteins through a process called autophagy But in dementia, this process doesn't work properly leading to the accumulation of harmful proteins researchers at Cambridge University Have found that a repurposed HIV drug can restore autophagy in the brain Did you hear that correctly a repurposed HIV drug can restore autophagy in the brain? That's Pretty cool. I love when science medicine overlaps like that It can prevent the buildup of destructive proteins and slowing down the disease's progression The drug targets a switch called CCR 5 which is also used by HIV to enter cells Tests on mice show that the drug reduced protein levels and slowed down brain cell loss Indicating its potential to slow down memory loss in dementia While more research is needed this finding provides a promising direction for developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases Very cool Okay on to the next Contesting for drug gene interactions improve treatment success in people with HIV So the Mayo Clinic concluded in their study published in the Journal AIDS that a person's genetics may have a role to play in drug related Toxicities or in in efficacies in people with HIV So it may be cost-effective and improve the likelihood of treatment success to do a genetic screening beforehand Pharmacogenes are genes involved in eliminating toxins and drugs from the body Also known as detoxification Currently pharmacogenomic testing is routinely offered to people before their prescribed triomech and Sometimes for those before being prescribed a tripla I can personally say that had I had this kind of testing before I was put on a tripla. It would have saved me a lot of Grave because the side effects for me were crazy. They were out of this world and it was Highly toxic for my body. So it could have saved me, you know six plus months of going on a tripla and Doing all that the harm to my body and my liver Okay on to the next article So Iowa passed a law removing HIV education from required school curriculum specifically in the bill SF 496 it mentions acquired immune Deficiency syndrome so I was looking through this bill SF 496 and I did a search of HIV Nothing came up. I was like, that's weird Maybe I maybe was implicit or something and I and it doesn't actually say HIV So there's parts in the bill that talk about required Education curriculum for for example grades one through six and It has a list of things that are required for the curriculum and then crossed out it says Something about HPV and vaccination and then also acquired immune deficiency syndrome So at one point it was in there and then they lined it out and then again in grades seven and eight It has the same thing. It has a line through acquired immune deficiency syndrome I think it's weird that it's it's specifically states acquired immune deficiency syndrome But it doesn't make any mention of HIV as If like that's like, you know when people make them the mischaracterization that oh This this person got AIDS they have AIDS. What they're really saying is they have HIV It's like this lack of education. So it kind of comes across that way. I don't know if that's What that's about but I just I find it really odd that it references AIDS, but not HIV Anyway, they're crossed out in this bill so you know, my my focus is Education is always better than not educating and yeah, you can say that you can make the argument that grades one through eight is Fairly young and they're not necessarily even thinking about sex or considering sex. So There's a prevalence of HIV diagnoses in adolescents from ages 13 to 24 I believe that's around grade eight is when you would be 13 years old. So Ideally you would want that education before they actually Hit that grade that age So maybe a year before maybe two years before I don't know that it needs to be taught all the way in first grade I don't remember getting sex education in elementary school, but Definitely before you start engaging in the sex acts or before the statistics show that kids are, you know at risk My two cents more evidence that long COVID is more common in people with HIV And this was like an aha for me because I was just talking to my boyfriend Bo about the fact that the past week I've been like racking my brain because I have felt so off and so weak and Like I could feel that there was something going on with my body and I told them specifically I said it feels like I have long COVID. I don't get it I had COVID last year and I had long COVID for months after it and then I Recovered and I felt fine, but every once in a while I have these periods where I just and I and I and I wonder if it's like in my head if I'm just making it up or something but I Got a full night's sleep eight hours of sleep last night I went to the gym and I did like one set and I was just obliterated. I was so Drained and wiped out and I felt like Ake and I felt I don't know something with my nerves that like Just the sense that like if someone were to prick me with a needle my whole body would just explode That's the way I can think of describing it and this article here Just validated what I've been experiencing So a large US study has found that individuals with HIV are more likely to experience long COVID symptoms and Develop serious cardiovascular Metabolic and cancer-related disorders after contracting COVID-19 the study highlights the need to understand why people with HIV are more vulnerable to long COVID and to include them in clinical trials for potential treatments Long COVID refers to persistent symptoms that linger after an acute episode of COVID-19 such as fatigue Weakness joint and muscle pain and cognitive dysfunction various studies have shown an increased risk of long COVID symptoms in individuals with HIV Understanding and addressing the specific challenges faced by people with HIV in relation to long COVID is crucial for their effective management and Treatment so these are little summaries that I'm reading off to you It's not what the article states you want to read more.  This is just helpful information for you to know if you are experienced this type of thing It's real it's documented and just Consider this another tool in your toolbox to be able to arm yourself with knowledge and information So that when you have those conversation conversations with your health care providers with your doctors You can point stuff like this out and maybe they can help you Okay Next article I have two left two more articles left Research continues in curing HIV via stem cell transplant Okay So stem cell transplantation has shown promising results as a potential cure for HIV According to a study conducted by researchers at Oregon Health and Science University The study published in the journal immunity Revealed that five patients have already achieved a cure for HIV through stem cell transplants one of those five patients I had the Privilege of having an interview with he is known as the London patient His name is Adam castigale, and he was gracious enough to sit down with me and have a really great in-depth conversation You can watch that. I'll put a card up to that if you want to watch and Yeah, but the problem is with cells stem cell transplantation it's a very very high risk and It's been given to those who already had Something else cancer that they were battling and they were had limited options, you know late stage cancer Because in order to have the transplantation you have to You have to suppress your immune system. So your body doesn't reject the transplant and so you're making your body very vulnerable and There's a lot of complications low likelihood of survival. So While stem cell transplants have been very successful when the person survives It's clearly not a viable solution for the general population So what they're talking about in this article is trying to figure out a way to give someone Stem cells That have the resistance to HIV Through an injection without having to go through a highly invasive stem cell transplant Which would make it applicable to a larger population Yeah, possibly through a single injection instead of a full transplant And the final article for this week Is new york state lawmakers pass lgbtq and hiv long-term care residents bill of rights So I find I found this article interesting because now that long-term survivability of hiv living with hiv and Living a healthy long Successful life is In the view of most people who are on effective treatment Now comes the topic of Aging with hiv and what does that mean eventually eventually that means going into a long-term care facility and And worrying about getting Long-term care, you know, that's something that's a very real Concern for people as they are starting to age and living with hiv and the lgbtq plus community So lawmakers in new york state have passed a bill Establishing a bill of rights for lgbtq individuals and people living with hiv in long-term care facilities The legislation prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation gender identity or expression or hiv status And aims to protect the rights of transgender individuals in these facilities It ensures the use of correct names and pronouns Prohibits denial of admission or requests to share a room Affirms the right to use bathrooms according to general identity and bans restrictions on residents associations and consensual Consensual sexual relations the bill aims to address the discrimination faced by lgbtq elders in long-term care And promote acceptance and dignity it now awaits the signature of governor kathy hokel And that's something that i've never really thought about was The possibility that That is an issue that in long-term care Folks might be dealing with discrimination um By their caregivers you know and What a horrible time to have to deal with something like that So I like the fact that new york is codifying this into law It's a great move on their part. Anyway, so those are the news articles for this week I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know like give me your feedback in the comments as usual I want to know if i'm doing something that you're interested in Let me know if there's particular articles or certain questions you have about certain things Maybe it'll become a topic for a future video or possibly an interview and I can bring on a guest or something like that Anyways, keep up the conversation I love hearing from you and I love hearing your thoughts and you guys chatting with each other.

From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of AWS re-invent 2020. Special coverage sponsored by AWS Global Partner Network. Hello and welcome to theCUBE virtual and our coverage of AWS re-invent 2020 with special coverage of APN partner experience. We are theCUBE virtual and I'm your host, Justin Warren and today I'm joined by Ed Walsh, CEO of Chaos Search. Ed, welcome to theCUBE. Well, thank you for having me. I really appreciate it. Now, this is not your first time here on theCUBE.  Lovely to have you back. No, I love the platform. You guys are great. So let's start off by just reminding people about what Chaos Search is and what do you do there? Sure. The best way to say is, so Chaos Search helps our clients know better. We don't do that by a special anecdotal wizard or a widget that you give to your SecOps teams. What we do is a hard work to give you a data platform to get insights at scale. And we do that also by achieving the promise of data lakes. So what we have is a Chaos data platform connects and indexes data in a customer's S3 or Glacier account. So inside your data lake, not our data lake, but renders that data fully searchable and available for analysis. Using your existing tools today, because what we do is index it and publish open APIs like Elasticsearch API and soon SQL. So give you an example. So based upon those capabilities, we're an ideal replacement for a commonly deployed either Elasticsearch or ElkStack deployments if you're hitting scale issues. So we talk about scalable log analytics and more and more people are hitting these scale issues.  You want longer retention or it's getting very expensive to keep that retention or because of scale you're hitting where you have availability where the cluster is hard to keep up running or it's crashing. That's what we mean by the issues at scale. And what we do is simply we allow you because we're publishing the open API of Elasticsearch use all your tools, but we save you about 80% off your monthly bill. We also give you, and it's an and statement and give you unlimited retention and as much as you want to keep on S3 or Integlacier. But we also take care of all the hassles and management and the time to manage these clusters which ends up being on a database server called Lucene and we take care of that as a managed service. And probably the biggest thing is all this without changing anything your end users are using. So we include Kibana, but imagine it's an Elastic API. So if you use the API or your Kibana, it's just easy to use the same tools you use today but you get the benefits of a true data lake. In fact, we're running now Elasticsearch on top of S3 natively, if that makes sense. Ryan, natively is pretty cool. And look, 80% savings is a dramatic number. Particularly this year, I think there's a lot of people who are looking to save a few quid. So it'd be very nice to be able to save up to 80%. I am curious as to how you're able to achieve that kind of saving though. You don't know, you wouldn't be the first person to ask me that. So listen, Elastic came around, you had Splunk and we also have a lot of Splunk clients, but Elastic was a more cost-effective solution, open source to go after it. But what happens is, especially at scale, if it's small, it's actually very cost-effective, but underneath Elastic stack, Elk stack is a Lucene database. It's a database technology. And that sits on servers that are heavy memory count, CPU count and SSDs. So you can do on-prem or even in the cloud. So if you do it in Amazon, basically you're spending up a server and it stays up. It doesn't spin up, spin down. So those clusters is not one server, it's a cluster of those servers. And typically if you're of any scale, you're actually having multiple clusters because you don't dare put it on one for different use cases. So our savings are actually, you no longer need those servers to spin up and you don't need to pay for those seen underneath. You can still use Kibana and your API, but literally it's $80 off your bill that you're paying for your service now. And it's hard dollars. So it's not, and we typically see clients between 70 and 80% and it's up to 80, but it's literally right within a 10% margin that you're saving a lot of money. But more importantly, saving money is a great thing, but now you have one unified data lake that you can have your user go across some of the data or all the data through the role-based access. You can give different people, like we've seen people say, hey, give that help desk person 14 days of this data, but the SecUp team gets to see across all the different machine generated data they have.  I'm always keen to hear specific examples of how customers are doing things. And it's nice that you've sort of drawn that comparison there around what cloud is good for and what it isn't. I often like to say that AWS is cheap to fail in, but expensive to succeed. So when people are actually succeeding with this and using this broad amount of data, so what you're saying there with that savings, I've actually got access to a lot more data that I can do things with. So yeah, if you could walk through a couple of examples of what people are doing with this increased amount of data that they have access to in Chaos Search, what are some of the things that people are now able to unlock with that data? Well, literally, it's always good for a customer size. So we can go through, and we can go through however much we want. Cliner, Blackboard, AlertLogix, ArmourSecurity, HubSpot, I'll start with that. Start with HubSpot. One of our good clients, they were doing some Cloudflare data was one of their clusters that you're using last at Search 4. They were looking to look at denial service, and they were, we find everyone kinda at scale, they get limited. So they were down to five days retention. Why? Well, it's not that they meant to, but basically they couldn't cost effectively handle that in the scale. And also they're having scale issues with the environment, how they set the cluster and sharding, and when also a denial service stack would happen, that's when the influx of data, one thing about scale is how fast it comes at ya. Another one is how much data you have. But this is as a data was coming after a denial service, that's when the cluster would actually go down, believe it or not, right when you need your log analysis tools. So what we did is because they're just using Kibana, it was easy swap. They ran in parallel because we published the open API, but we took them from five days to 90 days. They could keep as much as they want, but 90 days for denial service was what they wanted. And then we did save them in over $4 million a year and hard dollars what they're paying in their environment from really savings on the server farm and a little bit on the elastic search stack. But more importantly, they had no outages since. Now, here's the thing, you're talking about the use case, they also had other clusters and you find everyone does that, they don't dare put it on one cluster, even though these are not one server, they're multiple servers. So the next use case, Cloudflare was one, the next use, and it was a 10 terabyte a day influx, kept it for 90 days, so it's about a petabyte. They brought another use case on, which was Netmon, again, network monitoring. And again, having the same scale issue retention error. And what they're able to do is easily roll that on, so now it's one data platform. Now they're adding the next one, they have about four different use cases and it's just different clusters that you will bring together. But now what they're able to do, give you use cases, either they get more cost effective, more stability and free that we say saves you a lot of time, cost and complexity, just the time to manage that, get the data in, the complexities around it and then the cost is easy to kind of quantify, but they've got better. But more importantly, now for particular teams, they only need their access to one data, but the second team wants to see across all the data and it's very easy for them to see across all the data where before it was impossible to do. So now they have multiple large use cases streaming at them and what I love about that particular case is, at one point they were just trying to test our scale, so they started tossing more things at it, to see if they could kind of break us. So they spiked us up to 30 terabytes a day, which is four elastic, even 10 terabytes a day makes things fall over. Now, if you think of what they just did, what we're doing is literally three steps, put your data in S3 and as fast as can, don't modify, just put it there. Once it's there, three steps, connect to us, you give us read only access to those buckets and a place to write the indexy. All that stuff is in your S3, it never comes out.  We do the rest, we ingest, we normalize the schema and basically we give you our back in a refinery to give the right people access. So what they did is they basically throw a whole bunch of stuff at it. They were trying to outrun S3. So, we're on shoulders of giants. If you think about our platform for clients, what's a better data lake than S3? You're not gonna get a better cross-curve, right?  But, and also you can keep data in the right location. So Blackboard's a good example, they need to keep data in all the different regions and because it's personal data, GDPR, they gotta keep data in that location. It's easy, we just put compute in each one of the different areas they are. But the net net is, if you think of architecture, is shoulders of giants. If you think you can outrun by just your volume or you can put it in a more cost-effective place to keep long-term or you think you can out-store you have so much data that S3 and Glacier can't possibly do it, then you got me. You're bigger scale than me, but that's the scale we're talking about. So if you think about, they spiked our throughput. What they really did is they tried to outrun S3. We didn't pick up. Now the next thing is they tossed a bunch of users at us, which we're just spinning up in our data fabric different ways to do the indexing to keep up with it and new use cases in case you're going after, everyone gets their own worker nodes which all are expected to fail in place. So again, they did some of that, but really they're like, you guys handled all the influx. And if you think about it, it's the shoulders of giants being on top of an Amazon platform, which is amazing. You're not gonna get a more cost-effective data lake in the world and it's continuing to fall in price. And it's a cost curve like no other, but also all that resiliency, all that security and the parallelism you can get out of an S3 Glacier is just, bar none is the most scalable environment you can build environment. And what we do is a thin layer. So data platform that allows you to have your data now fully searchable and queryable using your tools. Right, and you mentioned there that I mean, you're running in AWS, which has broad experience in doing these sorts of things at scale, but that operational management side of things.  What are some of the areas that you see people making in trying to do this themselves when you've gone into customers and brought it into the KL Search platform? Yeah, so either people are just trying their best to build out clusters of Elasticsearch or they're going to services like Logs.io, Sumo Logic or Amazon Elasticsearch services. And those are all basically on the same Elk stack. So they have the exact same limits, it's the same bits. Then we see people trying to say, well, I really want to go to a data lake. I want to get away from these database servers and which have their limits. I want to use a data lake. And then we see a lot of people putting data into environments before they, instead of using Elasticsearch, they want to use SQL type tools. And what they do is they put it into a Parquet or Presto, it's a Presto dialect, but it into Parquet and structure it. And they go a lot out of the way to, hey, it's in the data lake, but they end up building these little islands inside their data lake. And it's a lot of time to transform the data to get it in a format that you can go after with tools. And then what we do is, we don't make you do that. Just literally put the data there. And then what we do is we do the index in a publish API. So right now it's Elasticsearch in a very short time, we'll publish Presto or the SQL dialect and you can use the same tool.   And but they're, what they really do is force you to put things in structure before you get insight. The true data lake economics is literally just put it there and then use your tools natively to go after it. And that's where we're unique compared to what we see from our competition. Hmm. So with people who have moved into KL Search, what's, let's say pick one, if you can, the most interesting example of what people have started to do with their data. What's new? That's good. Well, I'll give you another one. And so Armor Security is a good one. So Armor Security is a security service company, you know, thousands of clients doing great. I mean, a beautiful platform, beautiful business. And they won Rackspace as a partner. So now imagine 1,000 clients, but now, you know, massive scale that they keep up with. So that would be an example of another example where we were able to come in and they were facing a major upgrade of their environment just to keep up. And they expose actually to their customers is how their customers do log analytics. What we're able to do is literally simply because they didn't go below the API, they use the exact same tool set on top and in 30 days replaced that use case, save them tremendous amount of dollars, but now they're able to go back and have unlimited retention. They used to restrict their clients to 14 days. Now they have an opportunity to do a bunch of different things, possible revenue opportunities and other, but allow them to look at their business differently and free up their team to do other things. And now they're putting building and other things into the same environment with us because one is easy, it's scale, but also freed up their team. No one has enough team to do things. And then the biggest thing is what people do interesting with our product is actually in their own tools. So, you know, we talk about Kibana, when we do SQL, we're gonna talk about Looker and Tableau and Power BI, you know, the really interesting thing, and we did the hard work on the data layer which you can say is, you know, I can talk about all the ways you're consolidating the performance. Now what becomes really interesting is what they're doing at the visibility level, either Kibana or the API or Tableau Looker. And the key thing for us is we just say just use the tools you're used to. Now that might be a boring statement, but to me, a great value proposition is not changing what your end users have to use. And they're doing amazing things. They're doing the exact same things they did before. They're just doing it with more data at bigger scale and also they're able to see across their different machine learning data compared to being limited to going at one thing at a time. And that getting the correlation from a unified data lake is really what we, you know, we get very excited about. What's most exciting to our clients is they don't have to tell their users they have to use a different tool, which, you know, we'll decide if that's really interesting in this conversation. But again, I always say we don't, we didn't build a new algorithm that you're gonna give the SecOp team or a new pipeline cool widget that gonna help the machine learning team, which is another API we'll publish. But basically what we do is a hard work of making the data platform scalable, but more importantly, give you the APIs that you're used to. So it's a platform that you don't have to change what your end users are doing, which is, so we're kind of invisible behind the scenes. Well, that's certainly a pretty strong proposition there. And I'm sure that there's plenty of scope for customers to come and come and talk to you because no one's creating any less data. So, Ed, thanks for coming onto theCUBE.

the night before, where we announced the PR Lion winners. And you probably have heard by now, but the Grand Prix winner, which was the best of show, the best of all the gold winners, was the Chipotle Scarecrow campaign. And basically what this was is a food chain that is on a quest to find a sustainable food supply. And the campaign was storytelling at its best. It was a PR-led strategy. And they had a wonderful animated film that had a song that was from Willy Wonka in the Chaka factory. It was sung by Fiona Apple, and she actually was part of helping it get into pop culture, but I'll explain that in a moment. But the overall PR strategy was storytelling at its best. And they had a content-driven communications platform that pulled through many integrated elements. So for example, you have the animated film. The film was seated with a PR strategy where they put it on YouTube for, I think it was four weeks with no paid amplification at all. They were able to get somewhat of a momentum going online. They also had an exclusive with USA Today and major national newspaper, lots of earned media, lots of social media. What was really quite cool is that they also had a gamification strategy where they created an app that when you downloaded it and played the game, if you won, you actually got a coupon on your mobile phone which enabled you to go into the restaurant to get some money off your meal. That also was complimented with the fact that you could download the song on iTunes and it featured Fiona Apple. So that was a whole pop culture angle to the story as well. But it was overall thought leadership building in the area of food sustainability. And the winning entry was done by a PR firm. It was one of our overall competitors, Edelman, and they partnered with CAA, and it was just wonderful. It also won two other golds. So all in all, I think it was, yes, it was two other golds. So all in all, they did very well. There were some other really terrific winners. The Honey Made Love campaign got a gold. I'm sure you've seen that before, but it's a wonderful wholesome response to some negativity on social media that sprang up via because of an ad that featured same sex and multiracial couples. Another wonderful campaign was the Volvo campaign that featured Jean-Claude Van Damme for their new line of trucks. And this was out of Sweden, and that did very well in the integrated category. All in all, it was a great night. One I will never forget standing in front of 3,000 people on stage. And all I kept thinking is, gosh, don't fall. Whatever you do, don't fall. But it was a wonderful experience. I think now that the festival is in full swing, I'm sure that many of my MSL colleagues will be sharing their insights and their thoughts on things as well. We had a great panel this morning on Millennials, and I know that Scott Bowden, who leads our corporate branding and citizenship practice, I'm sure will be sharing information.  Have a good one. Bye.
