Hi everyone, my name is Claire Carmichael, I'm a newly qualified general practice nurse and I'm here today to tell you what to expect if you want to go into general practice nursing. So first things first, I'm just going to quickly do a brief overview of every single thing or not everything. This list is not limited to by no means at all but I'm just going to go through a quick list of things that you would do in your role as a general practice nurse just so you can get an overview firstly if you don't know that sort of thing. So you can sort of see the amount of variation in GP nursing and for this one, I'm going back to basics, I'm actually getting a part script for this because there's so much stuff that a GP nurse does, I physically just I don't want to miss anything on this vlog. Other clinics might be different because GP clinics do their own thing in a way so one GP might do minor injuries and minor surgery and that sort of thing whereas other ones might not do that sort of thing so yes this this list is not limited to and it might change between practices disclaimer first of all. Okay are you ready?  A lot of health promotion and health prevention communicating as well with your team so the mental health services, your doctors, your receptionist pharmacists, phlebotomists, paramedics, there's all this like really good integrated team now in GP land. Calling patients as well to book in their appointments and follow-ups, telephone consultations, doing false prescriptions and assessments and frailty assessments as well, things like that on patients because you want to protect those patients and also safeguard and safeguarding as well so anything you see that you think oh you have to refer on to your safeguarding leads that's quite big as well especially if you're doing like things like baby aims or dealing with someone with dementia or learning disabilities you have to be really mindful of these sort of things in the background and you will also see a whole range of patients so you'll see from a pregnant lady to newborn baby all the way to the baby growing up, all the way to teens, all the way to adulthood, all the way to elderly and end of life or palliative care as well, you'll see a whole range of things and it's just amazing. So now I spoke about all the weird and wonderful things and amazing variety that a GP nurse does. I just want to talk about okay so what is expected of you as a nurse because there is a lot there, how are you going to learn all of that, what's expected as a newly qualified nurse as well going into that sort of thing, how are you going to get to know how to do everything if that makes sense so I'm just going to run through some little things for you. So as a new general practice nurse whether it's newly qualified or whether you've come from the hospital, acute sort of sector, intergeneral practice, you will have your induction when you go in and this can vary from place to place and person to person like for me because I'd had a general practice placement I knew the EMIS system already that we were working with and there was a lot of things that I could do already so I felt a lot more comfortable and confident to start my own clinic sooner whereas you might not have that, you might need a lot more shadowing, a lot more training and stuff like that so it's firstly it's about being open and honest and being comfortable and confident and competent in what you're doing, make sure you speak up if you're not confident to do something and make sure you get that extra training if you need it that's the most important thing going into general practice because at the end of day this is patient's lives, patient's safety and that's got to be at the forefront of your mind as well so yeah so just take it easy step by step and get that training just to start off. So the bits of training you'll have to start with is you'll have your normal induction fire safety, health and safety, information governance, all those little things you might get someone watching you if you're already doing bloods for example I already did bloods in sexual health so they just wanted me to just do a little refresher and do a competency thing sign off so I sat with the nurse and I did all the bloods and she signed me off to say I was confident to do that so just little things that you can do will have to go off on a competency list as well. Also for this there's the amazing Queens Nursing Institute or QNI for short their website I'll put the link below they've got an amazing general practice template it's just fantastic so have a look at that website there is a whole induction template specifically for GP which is what I printed off and I've gone by so it's really really good really helpful so just make sure you follow that as well and have a look at it. Next you will if you haven't got those skills already so if you can't do baby immunizations I can't do baby immunizations I never got trained at university so that's a separate course I have to do also smear tests I have the separate training for that so anyway there's a separate course called the fundamentals of primary care course and you go to uni like one or two days here and there just to learn those skills and then you take it back to your practice and then you implement them all so I start my primary care course in September I'm so excited it was put off it was due the start of the year but unfortunately Covid and the pandemic here so it has been put off to September and it is actually part of it is online as well which it's a bit sad but it's okay I know the reasons why so yes anyway I've got my template for my course I know what I'll be learning what I'm doing so I'm just gonna run through that really quickly with you so you can sort of see what you're doing on your primary care course when that time comes for you as well so this is my timetable that I've printed off mine is through the Portsmouth campus so this is where I'm doing all of mine other campuses and other areas might be different they might edit it and tweak it slightly and you might be on a slightly different structure if that makes sense but these are the things I'm doing so 23rd of September is my course overview inductions and all of that then I'm on the 6th 7th 20th and 21st of October so four days in October I've got the history of general practice and clinical governance in primary care I've got infection control portfolio assessment and overview and then I've go straight into cervical screening for the final two days in October and then November the 10th 11th 24th and 25th four days again I've got immunizations immunizations again for two days I've got wound care and leg ulcers for a day and then I've got portfolio reviews and individual tutorials on one day and then we're going to December so December the 8th and 9th I have consultation and communicating with patients impact of long-term conditions and ear care yes and then we're going to January I know January the 12th 13th 26 and 27th 40s again so we've got a group seminar and introduction to essay didn't expect to write an essay on this I'm not that's level 6 and then level 7 introduction essay again and then we have a reading day on the 13th yay I'm assuming I'm going to knock out this essay in that day maybe and then on the 26th of January you've got the skills lab for venopuncture which is the blood testing and interpreting the results which I can't wait to do that side of it because at the minute I'm sort of learning online and trying to work out what's what and even though I can take blood it's the results bit that yeah it gets me sometimes and then we've got sexual health and then February the 9th 10th 23rd and 24th we've got integrate integrated care we've got another introduction to the essay bit as well pop be apparently health promotion cardiovascular disease and ECG's common mental health presentations yes yes yes we need this in GP because we see so much of it it's unreal even on the wards if you're in the acute sector you see a lot of mental health issues and so I'm so glad that that's in there and dementia child and adult safeguarding which have done a bit of that anyway diabetes well that's March sorry going into March 9th and 10th 23rd and 24th of March we've got diabetes asthma and COPD accountability managing HCA's I don't know the word managing HCA's that sounds like I'm gonna be like maybe collaboration with HCA's would be a nice one okay individual tutorials again assignment surgery no idea and then another reading day in April the 20th and then April the 21st is our last day so there's a review of the course evaluation and wash up I hope they don't mean washing your hands because that should be at the start but yeah so that is the overall of your course so you're gonna get all of those extra skills that you need to become a GP nurse and the rest you're gonna be learning on the job with other nurses as well so yeah just sitting in and listening to other people's consultations as well you might get a chance to sit in with the doctors as well if you've got any extended people like the phlebotomists might come to your surgery I know a surgery that I did my placement on and they didn't really do the bloods as much they had their own dedicated phlebotomists that came in and did all that so that was actually really useful it took sort of the pressure I think off of the nurse as well so yeah but we have amazing HCA's where I'm working now we've got two that do all of mainly of the blood testing and one of them actually is taking on a lot more now so she's doing a lot more wounds and leg ulcers and compression she's doing amazing she can do some things that I can't even do yet it's hilarious I love it the HCA's are amazing there's such a benefit to any setting anyway your hours as a GP nurse so your hours might vary from place to place because again everywhere is different it's really hard to pinpoint these things down in GP because everyone does something different clinic-to-clinic it's a little bit frustrating in that way but find the right clinic for you that's going to give you the best career development and choices and flexibility a lot of them are very flexible because they are based around like family-centered and they're really really nice like that it is a nice community actually in GP but anyway the hours that I do so I do four days a week I used to do five days a week so I used to do three long days and two short days but then I felt because it's quite a drive where I'm at it's like 20 kilometers from my house so I spoke to the management teams and I cut mine down into four days so now I do four long days half eight to half six and I have Thursdays and weekends off which is amazing it's so nice it's so much better to do it this way the best thing to do is if you're looking at GP and look at their website and see what hours to open because that will give you a rough idea to what hours you might be doing so what realistically to expect like in your practice as you're working there's two sides to this story so one side as a practice nurse I feel wow like so overwhelmed some days because I'm so busy I've got so much to do I've got so much to remember I've got so much to document and you've only got a short space of time between each patient to do everything in so you do feel very busy very like oh my god oh my god oh my god however you do get into a nice flow and a nice routine unless something goes wrong if something goes wrong then all your patients are gonna be waiting in the waiting room but that's okay it's again it's about communication as well with your patient so if you're running behind something's happened get reception or go out yourself and just say I'm really sorry something's happened there is a bit of a delay I'm really sorry and you know what that's the main thing I've found with patients they just want to know what's going on they want to know why they sat there for 20 minutes waiting for their nurse when their appointment was 20 minutes ago and they haven't seen anyone coming out your room so they think that you're just sat there it's really really important to just be open and honest with your patients and communicate with them because that's where it sort of starts going wrong that's when patients start to complain to a reception that's when they write complaints and referrals and all sorts goes on so yeah so just be mindful of that so then you have the positive next side it's so rewarding it's such an amazing career and you will go homes and kids you know what yes I did the best for my patients today I really helped that patient today I prevented a stroke I prevented a heart attack I prevented sepsis I've really helped this person in their mental health crisis and they've gone out of here smiling instead of crying when they come in you're gonna feel this over just this amazing overwhelming sense of wow what have I done today this is amazing and it's those days that just make all of the difference and you just think yes this is why I've come into this role but at the same time it is hard work you really have to be dedicated to this role you have to be confident in your abilities you have to be open and honest you have to speak to your colleagues and always seek help if you need it if you need backup and you need to call people in and your team will always support you you just need to ask for the help but above all it is amazing so I've spoke about expectations in your practice and I briefly spoke about patients getting a little bit miffed so this is expectations what's what it's really like dealing with the public and again it's such a variety some patients are really lovely really understanding there'll be just they won't want to bother you at all but actually they really need it so I've had patients with things happen to them and I'm just sat there like why haven't you told me this why haven't you said this and I go I didn't want bother you I was like but you need to bother me because you could be having a heart attack you could be having a stroke you could be having dbt's whatever's gone on in that person's life these are the people that never say anything and then you've got other patients who want everything and beyond and they can't understand why you can't do it for them because you're a nurse you should know this or you should do this and you're just like I literally can only do so much and nothing you do will be enough for the odd person I have to say the odd person because that's not realistically everybody that it is just the one or two people and that's just the way they are that's their them as a person that's what they're expecting they've got high expectations of nurses and doctors maybe they haven't been treated well in the past by health care profession so they've got this different side to things so you just have to be mindful that that person might be going through a lot they might be going through things that you don't know about so it's about respecting them even though they're not very nice sometimes it's about respecting them being your your best self for that person and still treating them as a person however if someone is getting physically aggressive or verbally aggressive no don't stand for that because I think as nurses we think oh we have to treat everybody and you know but if someone's coming at you attacking you verbally no that's not okay and if you let them get away with that behavior they're going to be like that time and time again and they're going to keep doing it so you need to just obviously professionally and politely and just say you know what this isn't acceptable I'm here to help you I'm not here to get verbally abused or whatever continue this you'll be out and off the books so it's your choice someone in health care should ever be verbally or physically abused luckily it's been okay at our place it's been alright but yes it's just it's just more of a reminder to people just you don't have to put up with that just make sure you give them a professional little warning and the gentle stop that so just as a final overall round thing what to expect as a GP nurse overall do you know what it's a very different setting to the acute setting you will notice the change like that like in an instant you'll be like whoa this is like a whole different culture this is a whole different breed of nurses this is a whole different breed of management and overall I think this is just my own personal opinion from when I was on my placement to this placement to other JP nurses that I speak to overall it's an amazing place to be and the way things are managed are so much better and the way that people communicate with each other is so much better and GP nurses are so much better like everything just is so much better for me however that might not be for you so it's about finding what you really want as well in life if GP's not for you then that's okay find your specialty because as long as you're happy that's all that matters GP for me and many many nurses it's amazing and it's a long fulfilling career ahead of you so yeah good luck guys


You and Julio still get along pretty well?  You still talk to him ever? You know, I love him. So we played 10 years together. Great player, great teammate. Nobody impacted, and I played with some great players, but nobody impacted my career as significantly as he did. He was one of the best players you'll ever play with. Also an excellent card player. I was about to say. Big on the back of the plane. He was one of the guys I played tonk with all the time on the flight's home. So I saw Julio playing, and I was about to say, I saw him playing Blackjack in the Bahamas at a resort or whatever. And I saw this human. He was wearing a white cloth tank top and his shoulders like ate up the next seat over in the middle of it.   I'm like, that's a wide receiver in the end. That is Julio f***ing jumping.


Functional electrical stimulation, FES, is a technique used to restore movement in patients who have lost motor control due to neurological disorders or injuries. However, one of the main limitations of this technique is its rapid onset of muscle fatigue. Spatially distributed sequential stimulation, SDSS, has been shown to reduce muscle fatigue during FES compared to single electrode stimulation, SES. In this study, 15 able-bodied participants were recruited to investigate the fatigue-reducing ability of SDSS in a clinical application, FES rowing. The results showed that SDSS resulted in a longer FES rowing period by approximately 30% compared to SES. This suggests that SDSS could be used to increase the effectiveness of FES rowing as a rehabilitative exercise for individuals with paralysis.

Hi, welcome to another High Goddess Gear review. In this video, I will giving you my review of the Bach molecule 50 backpack. I've tested this backpack in beautiful Sweden during two long distance trails, the Gumslede and the Auguste Lede.


I want to share with you how to become a content marketing legend. Welcome to the We Are Slam Show where you'll learn marketing agency insights, best practices, and ideas to help your business grow. Today, I want to share with you how to become a content marketing legend. Now when you think of content marketing legends, who comes to mind? For me, I think probably at the top of that list is Gary Vaynerchuk. Now when you think of Gary V, what do you think about? You think about somebody that produces and distributes content day in and day out, sometimes multiple times a day. And if you are a marketing director thinking about, you know, how can I start to integrate more of that Gary V style content marketing into my day to day, you've probably decided that you just can't do it. And you can't do it because how in the world does anybody produce and release that much content? Well, you know, the crazy thing is Gary V was quoted as saying that even he doesn't produce the amount of content that he should be producing. Can you believe that? Gary V actually saying that he's not doing the amount of content that he should be doing. It really makes you think like this is a guy that day in and day out is producing and releasing content and he doesn't even think that he's doing enough of it. Well, why is that? Why would he say something like that? Obviously, it's because what he is doing works. It works for him and it can work for you. And in today's show, I'm going to give you three secrets on how to do things like Gary V, but to do them on a schedule, on a budget that makes sense for you and your business. Number one, you just have to do it. You just have to make a decision that you're going to produce or release content on a regular basis.  Now, I know that it might be overwhelming, especially if Gary V is your standard, right? But here's a secret, find that good enough space. Find that balance between putting out perfect content and putting out consistent content. This is important because in today's day and age, in this world in which we're in, it's better to put out consistent content than it is to put out perfect content. You know, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has said that perfect is the enemy of good. And on the internet, when driving customers to your product or service, good is good enough. And when I say good, you know, you still have to have that, you have to have a baseline of high quality, right? If you couldn't understand what I was saying right now, then you probably wouldn't stick around very long. And so you have to have good audio quality. But beyond that, beyond, you know, making sure that your audience understands what you're saying is able to clearly hear what you're saying. Beyond that, it doesn't have to be perfect. Not every piece of content that you produce has to be perfect. You just have to do it. And when you think about doing it and doing things that are just good enough, I want you to remember this, that you're not going to be a rock star overnight. You're not going to be a legend overnight. You know, these things take time, whether it's blogging, podcasting, you know, posting a video show like this one, whatever the case may be, over time, you get better at these things. Your brand gets better. You find your voice. You learn how to more effectively communicate with your customers. And these are the things that happen over time and you're never going to get to that place until you've been doing it for a while. So number one on how to become a content marketing legend is to just do it. Thank you, Nike. The number two way to become a content marketing legend is to start thinking of content in terms of long form, banner or evergreen content.  And this term, I, you know, I don't know who originally came up with this term, but I remember blogging in the late nineties and learning about how to, you know, create blog content that would be discoverable by search engines. Part of that being that it just pinged the robots. But the other part of that being like, at that time, what types of recommendations should I be following in order to make my content more discoverable? And part of this strategy was producing evergreen blog articles. What this meant was that you would produce an article of 1500 to 3000 words that really was an in depth piece on a certain subject, which was going to stand the test of time. And then you had a series of smaller articles, 350, 450 word articles, that would point back to that evergreen content. This was an early form of back linking or link building. And so that's where this idea of evergreen content first came into my awareness. And we've carried this through to the present day where it's like, okay, let's create pieces of content that really, you know, they serve the purpose of educating our customers.  It's something that if you found it in search today and it was posted a year ago, it's still relevant. Let's not talk about things that are fly by night or that could be gone, you know, tomorrow. Let's talk about things that actually, you know, stand the test of time and that continue to work, regardless of when they're discovered in search. So this is evergreen content. Why is this important when it comes to content marketing? Because a big play with content marketing is search discoverability. Okay, you want your content to be discovered in those searches where your customers are searching for solutions to their problems. And depending on where they are in that buyer's journey, you're going to have different types of content that connects with them, whether they're aware of your brand or not, aware of the solution or not, aware of the product or not, aware that they have a problem or not, okay? You're going to have different types of content based on where they are in their buyer's journey in their awareness of you and your product and service. And so when it comes to creating content like this, you really want to think evergreen, okay?  And that's where we go back to Gary Vee. And if you actually watch Gary Vee or listen to Gary Vee, what you'll notice is that every keynote, every ride from the airport to whatever event he's going to, he's always talking about the same things. And that's because he has focus. He's focusing in on his customers, okay? He's not all about just being all things to all people. He has a few key points of evergreen points that he consistently returns to in all of his content. And you have permission to do that too, okay? You can create evergreen content that focuses in on the pain points and the solutions or the transformations that your customers can be making with your product or service and focus in on that and then tackle it from every different angle creating evergreen content. Remember, the definition of evergreen content is that it lives on, okay? It's not something that's going to be dated tomorrow or the next day or the next week or in three months, but it's something that lives on that your more timely articles, your more timely podcasts can point back to that evergreen content, building up its authority and search so that your customers, your potential customers, your future customers can come and discover that content when they're searching for solutions to their problems. Evergreen content, the number two way to become a content marketing legend. Okay, number three, the number three way to become a content marketing legend and this assumes that you've mastered number two, that you have evergreen content living on your website, living in your media, okay? Number three is remixing. Remixing is a beautiful thing, you know, in a former life I was a disc jockey and I used to love to remix music. I used to love to put my own spin on it. I used to love to take something that I heard in that evergreen song, that evergreen track and make something new out of it and that's what you need to do to become a content marketing legend. You need to take your evergreen content and figure out ways to remix it, put another spin on it, approach it from another angle or to make it palatable for social media. You know, if you follow us on Facebook, on Instagram, in LinkedIn, what you're gonna see is that we post snippets, snippets of this show. Why is that? Because that's a way of remixing or cutting. Another way might be to take, you know, if your evergreen content is a video, then what are all the different ways you can remix a video? Well, let's think about it this way. You can write a blog post about that video and every video that you post should have a blog post associated with it. Blogs are valuable when it comes to content marketing, not only because they allow your content to be more discoverable, but they allow you to kind of dig in and look at the analytics and see, you know, who's landing on those pages and they allow you to provide calls to action and offers right there on the pages where those videos exist or where those pieces of content exist. So that's important. Blogging, it's a foundational aspect to content marketing. You already know that it's not part of becoming a legend, it's just, you know, it's part of becoming a content marketer. So let's take this show for an example. You know, the evergreen part of this show is the video and the blog that's associated with that video. So every show, you know, we're going to release show notes in the form of a blog. Typically, you know, 800 to 1200 words or sometimes more depending on the content and everything that we do is going to point back to that page, whether it's a social media teaser or an advertisement or, you know, future episodes which point back to that content. But we also release a weekly email with the summary of the show approaching the show's content from a different angle and then pointing people back to that page. Of course we do YouTube, IGTV, Facebook, all these different social ways of distributing the content. In social, we do graphics. You know, it doesn't always have to be, in this case, a video. It doesn't always have to be the audio or video spliced up and cut into, you know, its own thing. It could be taking those words out or those points out and creating a graphic for it. You know, I love the story graphics on Instagram where you have, you know, five or six graphics sharing the points, the one, the two, the three points. Perhaps you'll see that for this show. Here are the three ways to become a content marketing legend but you see that in a graphic on Instagram rather than like me sharing that with you either through video or audio. These are all different ways that you can take an evergreen piece of content and remix it and remixing your content if you get it down really will allow you to go further, farther, faster when it comes to content marketing. It will truly set you up to become a content marketing legend. If you want to be like Gary Vee, you really have to just dedicate hours upon hours each day to create content but if you want to be a content marketing legend, number one, you just have to do it. Remember, perfect is the enemy of good and it takes practice to begin to get good at creating content whether that's writing a blog or, you know, shooting a video it's going to take practice. If you go back to some of the older We Are Slam shows, these are shows that I don't even want to watch and these are shows that we're remixing and reproducing because they truly are dated and everything that you do a year from now is going to look like, wow, look at where I've come from and that's because you've gotten better. You've gotten better though because you're doing it week in and week out. This applies to writing, it applies to doing a podcast, it applies to everything in the marketing space. The more you practice, the better you get. Remember, practice makes perfect but don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. Number two is evergreen content. This is content that will stand the test of time that won't necessarily be irrelevant in a month or two. It's content that you want to point back to and direct people to so that you can increase its authority and search. And the number three is remixing. Remixing is the key to becoming a content marketing legend because it puts you in more places in front of more people but you don't have to create and continue to create newer and newer content. You can take the evergreen content that you've already produced, splice it, cut it, remix it, represent it in ways that you haven't before. This is this idea of remixing your content and these are the three ways to become a content marketing legend. Now, if you've enjoyed this show, let me know.

My success is to wish everybody that's around me happy to look happy, look good, feel good and achieve what you want to achieve in life.  When I say Africans, Africans are capable of managing their own affairs. Africans are capable of building their own continent. Listen, I know Africa is not perfect but Africans are trying their possible best to change the narrative of the Africa that we all know. When I show you staffs like that, most of you might be like, yo this is beautiful but this is not owned by an African and this is why I am here. You're number one braga to celebrate every successful African. Can you guys give me my song? Yes, I'm here to celebrate a young man who built something out of nothing. When we got married, we had nothing. Not even a quarter plot, talking of half or one plot. We got married before we bought a plot of land. That is how the story started. This is the scarce of hustling. Everything is possible. We started this construction for the past, let's say, three years now and look at where we are. We started this three years ago. Yeah, three years ago. We started in a car as an office. Ahundai ascended 2005 model. That was our office. For Agazi homes. The whole group of companies. When you see me this happy, what you need to do to make me more happy is by liking the video, sharing this video so that this video can reach a lot of people. Because my job and what inspired me to do more of what I do is to see people being inspired to go out there to be great. It doesn't matter where you're born. I'm a village boy myself. People also call me village boy. Two village boys in the building. And let the story inspire masses. Help me like this video, share and subscribe if you are new to the channel. Do you actually see that so many Africans hate successful Africans? Exactly. 100% true. I've seen it. I've never asked anybody before. 100% true. Why are we like that? But a young person like you and you've been able to achieve something incredible like this, you don't think we need to celebrate you? I am not God. So you can celebrate me. I love that. Successful people in Africa are so humble. I am not and I need to brag on behalf of them. So today, I'm going to talk about you in a bragging way. But forgive me. It's just my nature. When I'm on camera, I brag a lot.  It's around the name Agazi. No, no, no. Agazi is never my name. Agazi is not your name. No. Were you born and raised in Ghana? Yes. 100%. 100% Ghanaian. Tell me more. Where were you born in Ghana? I was born in Cufordia. Okay. Okay. And then raised up from the village called the Seshiyosu also. That's where I grew up from. So, people also call me a village boy. Two village boys in the building. If you're a village boy, let me know how was childhood like when you were growing up? It was very tough. It's like a punishment. How? Because imagine you are from the cocoa farm, the bush inside. You go to the city and all your colleges are dirty.  Looking very nice, gentle. How will you feel first? I feel embarrassed. Embarrassed. Where do you go to? You can't go. I mean with a tough childhood, how did you come out of it? Hmm. That is something I can say. It is my power. But it is God. God did it. God made me who I am today. Because I was zero, zero, zero. I was negative. I came from nowhere to become who I am today. I can't remember when I was going to to IPS. And I wanted to really tell my dad I want to go to school. And I got admission in IPS. He said there is no money. Okay? Then I have to go to my mother. You know my dad's how he feels like. Yeah.  Come on. Hi. How are you? Hi, I'm Rapo. Hi, I'm Niddo. So I went to this woman, my mother.  You see, my brother, my son, I don't have money, but I'll go and borrow money for you. I say, yeah, borrow me money. But then, what time? Change the currency to I want to know my new currency. So I said, he said, I will give you five hundred dollars. Go to the city. Go and think of what you do to make money. So I picked up five hundred dollars. And I went to Kokoro to the sawmill where they would be selling wood, carrying wood and all those things. So I start business with that five hundred dollars. And that five hundred dollars, when I wake in the week, then I'll go to school. When I every weekend, I will go to the sawmill where I pick for that, go inside the market like that. Then my first year in the IPS was like crazy. I have to patch in my friend's dormitory, a hostel. When I was going to school, I have only two clothes and then one foot. For the first semester, what I did was like a kiss from God. But I survived it today. Through the struggling, I met a couple of friends. Then now they started doing scrap businesses. Scrap? Yes, scrap, scrap. They go run by scraps and sell. Then I started that scrap business also with them. So that's more capital I was having. So every weekend, I go for scrap business and I have one boy. I give him the money, go run, go buy. And then weekends, I will come and go and sell. Is it when you do scraps here, probably it gives you a mark? Yeah. I'm sorry, because I've done it before. So it gives you a mark. The marks are there. No, I need to confirm. No, I want to see it. This is the scars of the hustling of this mark. I will show you. I'll show you. Big ones are there. Let's do something. It's such a story, isn't it? Whoa. What is here? This is a scar. What is here? That's another scar. And then we'll share. For my second years in IPA, even though things were tough for me. So I made this friend. Daniel, then he tried to help me. And then there he helped me link me up to a unibank. Then there I started working with unibank as a sales officer. So through there, then I have in mind one day I must be somebody in life. Wow. So through the bank, then I started packing notebooks. I started writing a little bit. I started writing about people's businesses. Because when I come to you as a company, like the way you are here today, I will ask you maybe, we call something KYC. So know your customer. Okay. Know your customer. So when I come to you, I ask you a lot of questions about your businesses. Okay. And then if it's a loan we are coming to give you, I will ask you so many documents. Who are your suppliers? How do you process? How do you make it? And how do you get raw materials? And then when you get it, how much do you sell it? So automatically, you give me your source of business. I get it from you. Wow. Source of capital. I've already got it. Okay. And then all your idea, your techniques in the business, I have them already. Because you had a sales and marketing. So I started packing those books down. So somewhere 2009, 2011, then I moved from that place to Mechand Bank, now Universal Mechand Bank. There too, I became a sales person and at the same time doing loans, scheme loans and things.  Before 15th of every month, I meet my target, meet everything already. So it got to a time. The same thing that I was doing there. Then I get more knowledge about it. How to do it bigger and bigger for the sales. So I started going to oil companies, factories who consume oil and all those stuffs. Then there too, I said, packing the books. Okay. So I packed the books to like 2014, no, 2013. Then there, I left the bank to work with one company. Which is one? Which is an oil company. Over there, they said they'll pay me commission. But I didn't already, I didn't demand to work like maybe 50, 70, 100 trips. And the trip, they are supposed to mark me 500. So imagine, if I work for you and 500 by 100, how much? Supposed to give me like 50K. It's my pocket. And the CEO said, hey, they can't pay me that amount of money. Wow. He said they'll pay me 2000. I said, okay, I will take it. The month ends, he gave me, my first month, he gave me thousands of this. He didn't even give you your 2000. After the thousands of this, then now he pay me 500 every month. And I was like, why all this? I said, okay, well, it is me who said I wanted to learn. I was any like 1000, 800, 2000 from the bank. I passed my commission and make like 3000, 4000 a month. And I, I lived that to come say, okay, let me go and learn something there. So somewhere 2014. Yeah. One Sunday, I moved from the house and then my whole house got burnt. And everything in the house, including my certificate, everything got burnt. So when it got burnt, and I said, well, maybe it is good. Even some people's money that are with me as customers' money also got burnt. Whoa. So it became a headache for me. Everything of mine, even clothes to wear, only the clothes that I was wearing like this, that I went out. Cobert was lit for me. So everything there got burnt. So my friends, everybody, those who can help me, help me. Even said company I was working with, I went to them, beg them to borrow me money. They have to seize my car and pack it down. I take my car documents before they can give me the money. Wow. Which I did. Then to that struggling, I was chasing a contract for the same company. The very day they gave me the contract, I was fired from the company. The contract that you were chasing for the same company? Same company. I was fired. Wow. So it was there, I realized, no, God don't like me.  So quickly, I also started chaining my mind from God.  Stick to it. You forgot it. You had something called agazi. Agazi is your motto, agazi is your story. Agazi has to be this. Your future company has to be agazi. Then there, I remember, in the hardship during the Mechand Bang time, I registered a company called agazi. So I called my friend that helped me get the contract for the company. And then I explained the whole thing to him. He said, forget it. Go and see Mr. Shoshone. So he will give you the product. I will pay for it. Madin, I was nobody. They helped you. I worked for them. I was working for them. They are making their millions of dollars. I don't have a problem. But I don't envy anything. The small one that comes into my pocket is mine. So if I work for you and you make one million dollars, and I get like 50,000, 70,000 dollars, why should I complain? That's it. Before I don't have any money. That's it. So through that, I was able to marry. Oh. On my wedding. When you were getting the 70,000 dollars, you were like, go, let me get a wife. No, before then, I was having some small fees deputies of 15,000. So I used it to make a knocking. I would pay a knocking down that would let me get married. Because my reverend kept telling me, if you get married, your life will change. So I said, if reverend said, let me go get married quickly. So quickly, I married my lady that I was with. But then quickly, and then fortunately for me, you see my house there. That's your house. That's my house. I will tell you something. Daniel and Kofi, they were out of the country.  Okay. So I take the 50K that we're supposed to use for honeymoon. I asked my wife. My friends gave me this money. So what do we use it for? It's better you choose from two things. And that will still stick to the rented apartment or let's go and build with this money. And she said, a good woman would tell you, let's go and build. And the bad one would say, let's go and choose. So she said, let's go and build. And is that money you used to? It's not money. I used to start my work. And we built a house with this smart five bedroom house with two bedroom boys' quarters. We got married before we bought a plot of land. That is how the story started. Like everything at once, when he started with the oil company, should I say I was his accountant. When he brings some thousand, two thousand home, the next day I take it to the bank. But then one thing is, I've been his backbone. Jerry, after building my own house, I set up my own company. I started picking contracts on my own to supply fuel oil to other factories. And then there, my business started growing. From working for somebody? Then I set up my own. You set up your own business. So which means now there are a million dollars to be coming into your own pocket. That's a great one. Before I ask you the inspiration behind this whole estate, let me tell you something that you don't know. See, when you were looking for a job, you're struggling. Yeah, 100 percent. Have you seen the number of jobs that you've created? Yeah, for sure. How many people work for you? A lot. A lot. It doesn't even know the number. I can't. I can't. Unless I find out from my foreman, I can't find out from my foreman to come and give me a date. But I think there are about like 400 people. How does this make you feel when you come in here? Well, I feel happy that what I was struggling for, I mean people also enjoying it better. Wow. Because I don't want them to go through that hassle that I went through. You have an oil and gas company. Why start the real estate business? I was living here alone in the bush.  So if you can even say the structures are affordable. Yeah. Everything is affordable. So any mere man come. I didn't intend of making huge amount of profit or money from it. So that's it. That's my main reason. Why should someone invest in these properties? Okay, so first of all, I would say the fact that the price is very competitive. Now with just $150,000, you get to own a home in a gated community. And it's not just about just the house. It's almost finished. Almost? Yes. You see the kitchen I told you, it's almost finished. This comes with it at no extra cost. And it's good brands, quality brands. So you have wardrobes in here. The kitchen is fully fitted. You have your hub, your hood, refrigerator, a washing machine in there already. It's part of the $150. It's part of it. You're not paying extra for it. There is DSTV connection, there is Internet connection. We've done the generator changeover.  That's it. For just $150,000 in a gated community. So rooms up here. Let's check out the master bedroom. First time to see. You feel like sleeping, right? Yeah. I feel like sleeping, but I love salt bed, you know. Oh! Are we still filming? What's the payment plan to? So you do 20% down payment, and then you have 24 months to pay the rest. Interest free. Two years? Interest free, no interest. And then the good thing is that we don't give you a fixed amount to pay. You pay at your own convenience and on your own terms. So you can decide, oh, I want to pay every month, maybe 2,000. I want to pay every quarter. I want to pay the balance in two installments. Anyhow, what we need is that by the end of the two years, you're done paying. This is unbelievable. Four bedroom for $160,000. And by the end of the two years, I'm not done paying. What are you going to do? You're going to take back your house? No, no, no. We won't take back our house. So now you see, we have other arrangements with financial institutions for external mortgage. So if at the end of the three years, you're not done, we would always recommend you to speak to a financial firm for a mortgage so they can give you maybe up to 20 years based on your age and all of that. Wow. So we wouldn't take back the house. No, this is such an incredible deal, man. I am buying one. How many units remaining? Oh, we have about 80 units available now. So a lot for everybody, a lot. I'm buying one, so 79 remaining. Please, let's do this. I mean, the fact that we are Africans, let's support Africans, man. Own a house in Ghana for just $150,000. Two years payment plan. Interest-free. Interest-free. That's what I love. Interest-free.  No interest. You build this with a loan or your own money. I work for people. When I get commissions, I invest the commissions into their properties. You mean everything here? Everything here. How many units? Around 40 units. Dude. Four bedroom, three bedroom units? Yes. Four bedroom, three bedroom units. 114. And everything came out of your pocket.  My father had a cocoa farm. Your father had a cocoa farm. And seeing this makes me feel like everything is possible. Will you say you are made in Ghana, brother? Yes, Ghana. 100%. At what point did you see yourself as an entrepreneur? Till now. I never see myself as an entrepreneur. What did you see yourself as? I see myself as a learner. I'm still learning. So I'm never an entrepreneur. And I am never going to be a chairman, see you, or whatever. Who are you in your own company, then? Me? I am an investor. I go one city, I invest it. I get to see this, I invest it. So I am an investor. So which means you have people that run all these things? Yes. Teamwork? Teamwork. Okay. You see your brother in his job. What do you have to do, invest in your brother with your one city that you have? Somebody needs just 20 cities to start a business. You ask him what you think we can make out of that. You check one or two. Maybe the one city can make a lot of profit to you. So invest the one city into the person businesses. Help him to grow. He will help you to make more money. So you invest thousands. He asked for 20 cities. You invest thousands of this into that business. You make more money, more profit out of that. You must go into family. So I would advise that you let's forget about this quick businesses that fetch or maybe importation and all those things. Let's go fully into family. What? We go to Dubai. Dubai, they are soil. You can't even plant anything to grow. But you go there, you see a lot of natural trees there. And in Africa, anywhere, even here, you dig here, you plant cocoa to grow, depending on how you take care of it. So I would advise that you would go fully into that fate. When you hear the name Africa, what comes into your mind?  And very in mind, Africa, how does the map look like? Like a human head, a skull. So what is inside the skull? Brain? Brain. And what is inside the brain? Wisdom. But the white nose and they are always every day deceiving us to deviate from. What are the major challenges that you face when you are establishing this? The challenge are management issues. You set up a business, you give it to your friend or your brother or your somebody you trust to manage for you. Then they mismanage, they end up corrupting. So we call it African mentality. I don't know this, I've never asked anybody this question before, but I think I need to ask you. Do you actually see that so many Africans hate successful Africans? Imagine what we're doing here now. If it is a Chinese man or Indian man or American man that is building this, you see all Ghanians rushing to buy, to patronize.  They will never buy a single for you.  Why are we like that? If, for example, you let's take something like, let's go to Akra.  And those ones that are being built, or established by a Ghanian, it's been collapsed. Or they will end up acquiring maybe some small space and then the rest, they abandoned it, which is very bad. So we always have the foreigners to take our money out. I think he has done an incredible job and believe it or not, this house is worth more than the prizes that they are given. So what I'm going to tell you is that the link is in the description. The numbers are on the screen. Please call them and buy one. This is coming from Guatemala. I'm in Dawson, Nagazi homes. And I know that you have 114 houses. So I'm just telling you that this video, congratulations.  Please don't disappoint me. If you guys disappoint me. See, in two weeks time, call me. I will call the call. Tell me that the houses are sold out. Yes. Because we need to start supporting our own. The cheapest house in here, the most, how do you call it? The most expensive house in here is like $160,000. And I just want to tell you guys that let's do this. Let's support your man. Share this video so that others will hear his story. So that they will be inspired. Knowing that you're not the only person who is going through that. That's why I normally love to talk to people like you. If you have the chance to change one thing in Africa, what will it be? Support. From our leaders to the new commerce, like young investors, young entrepreneurs, we need to push them up. Wow. Like for instance, if you go to China, nobody goes to school to learn too much book. They all learn practicals, most of the practicals. And the way we are doing it is full of practicals. The way we live is practical. You're going to be aware of where you're depleted from. It's practical. China. They will say China. And truly it's China. Certainly. And the government promotes such things like that. You see you building like this. Government wouldn't mind to come and give you like maybe some $50 million to invest and do better and then do more. So in Africa, none of our leaders do that. They rather pick their money, go and invest in China, Dubai, UK, America and others. So that's it. Let's stay home and invest home. Thank you so much. What are you talking to me? Oh, I can't.


Welcome to Digital Asset News. Take a top stories in crypto and break it out of bite size pieces. So today I want to do something a little bit different. I want to revisit the video that we did where we talked about how to stake Theta. And because of Theta mainnet's 3.0 launch, which was just done on June 30th, which was two days ago, or three days ago, today is July 3rd, 2021, I want to just revisit and talk about a couple of things. First, we want to talk about Theta and exactly what it is. Then we'll talk about why it's so important and we're going to see that through a Google data center and how massive those are. Then we're going to take a look at the node limits and what it actually is as far as the base of requirements, what you could actually expect as far as rewards, and then we're going to go do a walkthrough as far as the staking process. So the first thing we need to do of course is to talk about Theta and what exactly that is. So Theta is a cryptocurrency and blockchain project and it is one of my holds, one of my favorite holds and I think it's going to do very well and really what it comes down to is this. And it kind of gets summed up here by Steve Chen, the co-founder of YouTube and he states, Theta's innovation is set to disrupt today's online video industry much in the same way that the YouTube platform did do traditional video in 2005. One of our biggest challenges, I'm going to read this again, one of our biggest challenges had been the high costs of delivering video to various parts of the world and this problem is only getting bigger with HD, 4k, and higher quality video streams. So this is why I'm kind of, well I'm really bullish on Theta and what it's going to do in the near future. Now I can't predict anything as far as like is Theta going to blow up tomorrow and is it going to be $50 on August 3rd? No, but I can tell you that what are you doing right now? You're watching this video and a lot of people are working from home and that takes bandwidth. A lot of people are uploading video and that takes bandwidth and a lot of people are doing a lot of things with streaming service and that takes a lot of bandwidth and how it all works with Theta is that they're going to have people download a node which we're going to do today and it has them stake their t-fuel or the Theta, we're going to stake our t-fuel and allows people to cash their different streams in these points or in these nodes so it can free up a lot of resources and Steve Chen who co-founder of YouTube can continue to run YouTube and all these different streaming platforms and they can actually give this 4k and HD types of things without creating a bunch of data centers with massive amounts of money and electricity and everything else that is just super duper expensive instead of doing that they're just going to use nodes in a decentralized way, nodes that I'm going to put on, maybe you're going to put on and the thousands of different nodes that are located throughout the world and they're going to cash all these different streams and makes it a lot easier and of course for that you're going to earn t-fuel and Theta. So just to go back real quick, if we're taking a look at the network stats, here's the networks or nodes or edge nodes, guardian nodes and enterprise validator nodes. Now if you'll notice one thing there's a lot of different nodes throughout the globe right here, right? Looks pretty good. Why is there only 16 enterprise validator nodes? And the reason is because those validator nodes they have like a million Theta and those are the ones like our Google, Sony, Samsung, CAA which has all the different Hollywood types that they have under management, all the different movie stars and video or music celebrities that are out there, Binance, Blockchain, Gumi and a private equity institutional group. Nice. So there is just that part and then of course we've got guardian nodes which are people who stake their Theta which is fine and that secures the network and there's the edge nodes which is all for just to cash all these streaming services so that they don't have to build these massive data centers. So why is this so important? Well it's because they're going to save a ton of money on these data centers and when I talk about this and I think it's important that you actually take a look at what these Google data centers actually are and how big they are and when I show you this video I want you to think about real quick is how much it would cost to build these data points these servers and everything else just think about it how much this would cost and then to actually operate it we're going to go through the first 20 seconds of this video then we're going to fast forward all the way to two minutes and 50 seconds so you can see the actual grand scale of what is going on there you're going to say okay that makes sense to use Theta so take a listen. A data center is the brains of the internet the engine of the internet. It is a giant building with a lot of power a lot of pooling and a lot of computers. Row upon row upon row of machines all working together to provide the services that make Google function. Okay so right there so if you're a business do you want to spend millions and millions and millions upon dollars just to run these data centers so you can cash all different videos that are being uploaded into YouTube and whatever type of streaming service that you have. No that's super duper expensive why wouldn't you just pay a little bit more and just have everybody in their computers just pretty much cash all these things and be a distributed decentralized type of data center like we have right here and that can be done right now with the power of the internet and blockchain so this is why Theta is needed and another thing that I'm bullish on Theta is that they're not working in to fight YouTube or to try to wrestle this this control they're working in conjunction with them they have Theta TV which is a streaming service for videos I'm actually on there but they do a lot of these things right here which could help them and that's why Google is one of their partners that's why Steve Chen is so excited about it so I think this is a pretty good project so let's let's fast forward to about two minutes and 50 seconds and just take a look at the grand scale of what is going on here as far as these these massive data centers Google runs our data centers warmer than most because it helps with the efficiency you'll notice that we have overhead power distribution coming from the outside yard we bring in the high voltage power distributed across the bus bars to okay now it gets boring so anyhow that is essentially what you're looking at that's the grand scale that you'd have to deal with to just to keep up with the demand for streaming services so when you take a look at Theta you're like this is a godsend this looks pretty good and I think we should get into it so let's talk about node limits as far as like when we want to actually stake our t-fuel or our Theta and just real quick Theta is the governance token that is what secure that is what was used for you know for it to for the entire network and then t-fuel think of it kind of like the currency of the Theta network that is what people like me get paid in you can actually pay for your tip your favorite creators on Theta.tv so t-fuel is kind of like the currency and Theta is just the governance token so that is what it all is so let's take a look at the limits and if you can see right here at this time and remember this is July 3rd 2021 so things may change so always check back it says at this time there is a minimum of 10 000 t-fuel and a maximum of 500 000 t-fuel that can be staked to each edge node and remember this one is just about we're just going to deal with the edge node for the guardian node if you want to stake your Theta on that it's the minimum is a thousand I think the maximum I think is gosh up to I guess 500 000 but if you have that I think you're okay so minimum is a thousand for Theta but for this one for the edge node which is where you get paid in t-fuel the minimum is 10 000 t-fuel and right now the price of t-fuel is around 46 cents per t-fuel so you're looking at around five grand just to start staking unless you've already done this before so the next question then is well if I'm going to have all this t-fuel I'm going to start staking which I think is a good idea that's just that's just me is what are the kind of rewards that I could potentially have when I'm doing all these things so that's a great question there is a great website called Theta Board.io and it starts off here this is you know great stuff oh t-fuel is 37 cents excuse me so as you go down here you can put in how much t-fuel you have let's say you have a thousand so per day let me blow this up so you can see what I'm looking at so we've got a thousand and that means that per day you can make 0.34 t-fuel per month that's about 10 t-fuel it's like three or four bucks and then per year 46 dollars and that's at just 1000 t-fuel and then over here is the guarding node parts so for 1000 theta per day is a dollar per month is like 11 bucks and per year 379 excuse me 379 t-fuel so it depends on what you want to do and then of course you can get this now here's the thing right now July 3rd 2021 it's not that much for what you are actually gaining in but as time moves on I don't expect the price of t-fuel to stay the exact same especially as this network really increases because I think that theta is going to be in high demand so maybe in the future we could see a t-fuel at two dollars so that would mean like if you just had a thousand and it was two dollars and you put ten dollars in let me do some quick math it's like 20 bucks a month for doing absolutely nothing not too bad and then you know per year 124 so you're looking at like 250 bucks per year just for doing absolutely nothing and that's only at a thousand t-fuel let's take a let's let's kick it up a notch right let's take a let's do 10 000 over here in guardian nodes let's do oh wow yeah 10 000 so what do we have here so 10 000 now we're looking at now we're looking at good stuff so we're looking at about a dollar a day per month 38 bucks for doing nothing per year 467 dollars for the guardian node you're looking at 10 dollars per day or 116 bucks per month or per year at $1400 and again this is only at the present cost of like 30 cents let's say it's I mean man can you imagine if it's two dollars per month you make 200 bucks then per year 2500 bucks just for doing nothing so that is how it all lays out as far as the rewards you could potentially get now this is not a hundred percent accurate this is all about how much when you actually download the nodes and you're able to keep your computer up and running at 100 percent of the time and online that's pretty important so just make sure you are aware of that so coming back let's take a look then at how to actually do this because I think that's the most important part so let's take a look how to actually stake it so how do we do that well it's pretty simple we're going to go to actually we're going to go here to theta token.org and there will be a link in the description and you just scroll down scroll down scroll down and it says they can download the theta guardian node or the theta edge node for me to make this simple today I'm going to download it for my mac so I'm going to click on download for mac this is going to come up and it's going to say okay do you want this theta edge node yes and I'm going to save this to my desktop to make it super simple and then I'm going to go to my desktop real quick I'm going to double click that file it's going to open everything up and then for a mac it's going to look a little bit different it just wants me to put this in my application so I'm just going to drag it over here on a pc it's going to look a little bit different but you're going to save it somewhere and then it's going to be dropped in and now depending on where you saved it you would just open up your theta edge node okay so we've opened up the theta edge node beta application and just you know like the wallet over here this is the wallet for this edge node right here but we already have or you may already have your wallet which we're going to take a look at in a second and then there's a couple things on the left hand side you can watch where if you click on that you can watch the different streams on theta or you can just go to theta.tv it's the same thing you can broadcast from here if you have a stream key go right ahead and then there's different jobs which I'm not sure about this one but it looks like you can gain t-fuel just by edge caching and it says cash jobs will be started as soon as they are assigned edge compute compute jobs will be started as soon as they are assigned but the one that we're looking at is stake t-fuel so this right here this edge node holder this summary we're going to select all this and we're going to copy it and then we're going to click on that x in the upper right hand corner and what we need to do now is go back to our wallet which you should already have a wallet in place if you don't you can use the wallet right here and transfer all your t-fuel if you wanted to but I already have my own wallet that I created a long time ago now we're gonna take a look at that which is jump over there so here I am at my wallet and I'll put a link in the description for not my wallet but how to get there it's really actually easy if you go to the theta token at org the same one up on the very top it says network news team roadmap docs wallet if you just click on that it'll take you to actually create a wallet this is mine so it says the keystone and the wallet and the password I'm going to put those in right now I'm going to stop this video for a second so you don't see that would not be good and I'll jump right back so now here I am and of course your wallet has your theta and t-fuel you can send receive it what we want to do is hover over the stakes which you can see that's right here it says stakes and what we want to do is we want to deposit a stake or withdraw a stake we're going to deposit a stake and we're going to send it somewhere not send it somewhere but we're going to sign it because it's because your your theta or your t-fuel that you have it's not going to leave your wallet you're just going to sign it to a node and that's going to be your node so let's see edge validators guardians and then delegated guardian node just so you know if you don't want to deal with all this you can click on delegated guardian node and just pick somebody and then go from that and again I like it because like in Ethereum 2.0 you have to send it to somewhere else but in this one you don't really do that actually stays in your wallet just to be sure let me jump over here this is a medium post from theta itself and it states like all theta staking there is no risk to your tokens because stake tokens can only ever be returned to the staker's wallet regardless of whether a node fails is compromised or any other issue so essentially you control your stake theta tokens they don't leave anywhere so that's what I like about theta itself so I'm going to go back real quick so we're going to click on edge node we're going to click continue and remember that edge node holder summary that big long hash where it was like just a bunch of letters and numbers and things like that we're going to paste that in there be and it's going to say enter the amount to stake remember that the minimum is a 10,000 so I'll just put in 10,000 makes a lot of sense right now I'm going to deposit the stake to that node click right there and then okay it's going to ask us is this what you really want to do so I always take a look at the first parts here and the last part just to line them up 0x65c and the last one uh 5931 so let's double check just to make sure so here we are 0x65c 5931 so everything matches up let's jump back and the transaction fee is pretty cheap 0.32 fuel not too bad enter the wall password I will put that in right now and I'm gonna click on confirm and deposit stake and it states your transaction is now being processed so it may take a little bit of time but then it should go into the node so that was pretty quick actually in like 10 seconds it came up and it says here node type lead edge here's the holder blah blah amount 10,000 has not been withdrawn from here let's go jump over to our actual node which is on the computer or on my Mac and see if that actually matches up so yeah looks like we are set looks like the block is there stake 10,000 bill of balance but see right here it says submitting proof of uptime just so you know with these edge nodes for you actually to gain the maximum amount you have to have your computer on and up and running that's the whole point of the theta network because there people are caching their streaming services or their data in your node so that it can actually be there for when it is actually needed and that's the whole point of not having a data center we just have these decentralized nodes such as a theta edge node and that's pretty much it now look you can do this the same way for the guardian node if you want to actually state your theta but for me i'm just going to use this for the edge node and just go from there so that is it for the video hope this helps out let me know how it goes i've done this before in the past personally and i've used the same service and for some reason this edge node would not stay up or it wouldn't download an update and just seem like it never would work so i am hopeful this actually works from what i understand they've eliminated some of the kinks for mac users hopefully it works for everybody but we'll see so anyhow let me know if that helped you out but that is it for today so first of all thanks for sticking with me all the way at the very end i appreciate it if you like the video you found value give it a thumbs up give it a like also consider subscribing and that is it for today so thanks so much for watching see you on the next one

The frequency and severity of flooding in Europe is increasing due to climate change and other factors. Researchers have developed two approaches to study this phenomenon, data-driven detection of changes in observed flood events, and modeled scenarios of future floods. Both approaches have limitations, but when combined they provide a comprehensive picture of flood regime changes. This article was authored by J. Hall, B. R. Heimer, M. Borga, and others.

they're carrying some mighty valuable goods all the way from california gold ain't nothing else of any value i know about there uh what's your plan i thought you might change your tune head for the simmer on river awful deep and fast moving in spots silk hats might go under saddlebags and all we could winter ride nice down in texas i ain't no party to murder fox give me that bottle and clear it off oh kit come in come in they said she's looking for me luten taylor yes they said right pull up a chair and rest easy have you been kit sassy is wild horse uh you're busy not for another 10 days

troopers and go out and bring them in what's he done well uh he owes a lot of money here in town merchants are complaining a lot of money in my time too don't rightly see as a crime of man aims to pay it back well that's just it he doesn't plan to how you know that we heard it sorry lieutenant that ain't my kind of work now wait a minute kit sit down it's not a debt we want fox arrested for we think he's out to murder two silk hats named weatherhead and brie vorre weatherhead it oh no you know them yeah i've made their queens or why didn't you give it to me straight in the first place lieutenant well it's a ticklish business kit we got the information from a drunken old trapper named red eye now that he's sober he denies the whole thing we figured if we could pick up fox on a debt charge why we'd at least save the dudes you got red eye here yeah the other room let me have a word with him now red eye how many of the ones he hired are in on it i tell you i don't know kit coming to me with the idea i told him no how do you know about the gold guess they told him you're sure they're heading for the simmer on that's what fox said kit red eye you'd have saved us all a parcel of trouble if you'd have told me this a week ago i didn't know you was in town kit that's what you was up in Texas well i guess it's straight lieutenant i'll get bill williams and we'll stretch out fine my men will be ready in half an hour they got a week's head start we're going to have to do some riding to get there in time this is going to wipe out all trail science i know i have the chance that they don't expect to be followed they're heading straight on sergeant will cross here and keep going weatherhead and brie vorre never heard such names i had never known such fools all right let's move yeah kit what you plan when we hit the fork all right i said fox plans to winter in texas likely it takes south fork maybe we should split up hey we don't run onto their sign soon we may have to the horses can't keep up this pace much longer gotta rest them soon i know i know mr fox how soon till we reach the simmer on ain't far mr weatherhead ain't far at all camp here tonight and noon there tomorrow splendid we're making excellent time child yeah we're doing right well good thing you hired us jinx never know what you're going to run into out here we uh found that out didn't we ever hope my word yes do you know a gentleman named Carson stafak caution what about him nothing only he saved our lives bought a duel with an indian chief to save us well do tell quite a hero ain't it it was on his advice that we hired you and the rest of your friends huh caution told you to hire me well he didn't name you but he suggested we get hold of some reputable guides you hear that boys we'll sure have to drink the kid Carson sir camp right enough spent the night here three hours gone they'll noon it's simmer on river appears we might be a little late getting there i don't mind being late if we ain't too late mr fox are we making camp here well that river is a little rough crossing that thought you might admire to stop here kind of look around well that's very thoughtful of you mr fox but we just to soon move on it couldn't be find a shallow place to cross over well that's a peculiar thing about the sim when she floods she just floods over besides you wouldn't want to be risking losing what you've gotten them saddlebags saddlebags oh don't you worry none mr weatherhead your goals are safe with us as if it was in a bank well you can be sure those saddlebags have traveled much too far with us to risk losing them in the river how long will it be before we can cross mr fox yeah it shouldn't be long it shouldn't be long at all sim goes down almost smashy comes up what an amazing river oh everything about this west is amazing how about some grub jance i always figure out here you never know when you're eating your last meal when i go under why i want to go under with a full belly uh you uh you don't think there's any danger do you i mean from the indians uh stayed likely but uh you never know a fine rip past charles excellent excellent huh who'd ever think we'd be eating buffalo steak marvelous is something wrong mr fox jance i'd like you to walk down to the river bank with me is something the matter well i don't really know just something i think it's time you both found out about found out about yeah uh let's not do our talking here let's let's go where we can't be heard oh yes let's do that by all means if there's something we should know we best hear about it you you've got a head on your shoulders mr brevard follow me fox stand fast just around it come in what's what bless my soul let's get caught mean to stand there and say that mr fox intended to kill us in cold blood weren't very neighborly of him was it i can't believe it i simply can't believe it why would he want to do a thing like that he and his friends were interested in what you got in them saddlebags but but i don't understand i don't wonder none i just don't wonder we we owe you our lives again mr carlson gentlemen you don't owe me nothing oh but you must let us give you a reward this time i'll get that when i go to heaven don't you worry about it none the rest of your party that wasn't in on this with fox they'll see it at oklahoma city i'd like to give that scoundrel a a piece of my mind bring out fox all right watch it all right i got a gun on your back tell your men do as i say you like he says kid ain't no cause to be plowed under by such a low vomit mr fox you should be

The ancient ruins of Giza, perhaps the most incredible of them all, and possibly the clearest displays of academic conspiracy, with much of the most puzzling of areas, all but closed off, away from public view. An attempt to stifle controversial questions, which inevitably arise from such baffling ancient wonders. However, this attempt to obscure the greatest aspects of ancient Giza just fans the flames of curiosity, for when one realizes that much of ancient Egypt is being actively covered up so-called officials avoid any obligation to explain the methodology. Behind many constructions found on the plateau, structures and relics, which to this day escape any logical explanation. Once one accepts this reality, one begins to wonder what unspoken motivation there could be to ardently hide these sites' true characteristics. We have in the past covered many areas of ancient Giza, which cannot be explained. Many people are aware of the issues surrounding the construction of the pyramids, and the largely exposed void in modern understandings. However, this conundrum is but one among a smorgasbord of highly intriguing, yet no less mystifying features hidden in plain sight all over the plateau. The basalt floor, which still contains volumes of tool marks, evident of high precision, high rotation ancient power tools. The gigantic megalithic blocks, each sunk flat, level with the base of the pyramids, which although walked over by millions, have been largely overlooked by all. Some of these blocks, forming the immediate foundations of the pyramids, are similar in size to the pregnant woman of Balback, which is estimated to weigh some 1,000 tons. Additionally, all of these features, according to mainstream teachings, were created by the ancient Egyptians. A civilization we claim merely re-inhabited the site, like many others around the world. It is a fitting hypothesis, which if indeed the case, then all said tasks were undertaken and masterfully accomplished with nothing more than a set of soft copper tools. A clearly illogical hypothesis, disproven in many ways, one of which is by the main pink aswan granite relics, still in existence all over Egypt, which were all simply impossible to have created with just copper chisels, and our next artifact of interest is of no exception. This imposing altar was found at the west end of a passage, just outside the northern wall of the temple of King Amenhamhat I. Originally, it is presumed that the altar once stood in the open court of the temple, with its roughly shaped lower part, suggesting that it was sunk into the ground. A rectangular libation basin is carved into the top of the altar, as well as representations in flat relief of an offering mat containing two libation basins and three loaves of bread. The middle one incised with the king's throne, with the name Horus added, with the phrase may he be given life forever, uncannily similar to long live the king, but I digress. At the center of the altar's front side, the incised birth name of the king Amenhamhat, with rows of approaching fertility figures who are designated by inscriptions as personifications of gnomes, regional governorates of northern and southern Egypt. It is undoubtedly an incredible ancient artifact, one carved with such precision and artistic accuracy and upon some of the hardest stone on earth, to suggest this was achieved with soft chisels is to us absurd. Who made the altar of Amenhamhat? How did they carve it? An exquisite ancient relic, which is, like much of ancient Egypt, highly compelling.


Goldman Sachs is out with a note for Tesla cutting its price target. Yeah, no, that was a very interesting note because Tesla, Goldman was the banker and they cut the price target, but it's now 180, a little unrealistic. What I did note that was of interest in that report was that they think that inventories are a problem. And a lot of that is because, of course, the market's frozen by the Model 3 that's coming out. I don't know. I read that note and I said that one thing we've always felt that was good about Tesla was the demand side. Remember Tesla could come out with something about China or the Gigafactory and everyone will forget why they sold it. It remains a battleground stock that I cannot have an edge on. It's the only one, by the way. I mean, I'll tell you to buy Amazon. I have no problem telling. It's a cold stock, but it's also got a web service business that is worth maybe a huge part of the market cap. But Tesla is just a battleground and it's great to watch. It's terrible to be involved in.
