a little cyber group history for all of our members inside our live trading room. Even as a veteran member of our trading room, we have a bunch of us joining us here in this live meeting right now. I saw Alita just earlier, Lawrence, Phil, I saw Carol just before, Chris from earlier, Andrea obviously, Grant, et cetera, et cetera. I've been here since 2014. Well, I'm saying that Siri has never, ever moved the way it has been. I mean, you could even just say since the end of June, but we never called it out here. We did not trade Siri over the last two weeks. I always shoot straight. No one called it out, I'm telling you. We had our hands full on other stocks. I think one of our members on YouTube asked about Siri maybe back yesterday or the day before. And at the time I thought it just made the most of its move on the intraday. I said, I definitely keep an eye on it. I didn't notice it for the first time until then. So, all right, definitely read it down on our side list. Moved on from it. Other stocks to trade today, right? We didn't follow this at all until just, well, here. Ended up flying on up, heading into like two o'clock a little bit afterwards. Got halted on the way down, I think this is even. And then ended up getting halted on the way up, not just once, but now twice. This thing is flying.  Take my word for it.  You can basically say, but from like 2018, mid-2018, all the way to basically beginning of this year, it was just in a dollar range. This thing barely has ever moved. So, it's a fun time to trade this stock right now. Don't be reluctant, this thing's flying. So, you know, we always say eventually these things are gonna eventually make a move that we could try and capitalize on. You don't wanna follow a stock like this really at all. Just be honest with you, in the last eight years, this thing has done nothing pretty much. But hey, if it pops up on our scanners, pops up on our radars, then we have to absolutely respect it the way it's been moving so far. So, even for right now, your major resistance up top is seemingly off eight bucks at 384,000 share Iceberg and it just reopened up. 650 is your opening halt print right there. Big print just got filled at the price 650. There's been a bunch of larger transactions that have gotten filled though on that tape though. So, I probably need to filter my level four. But though, hey, 650 is definitely a key level to keep in mind. The drop's lower maybe like a 635, but let's see if this can keep going for right now. Nice pop, look like a little Fausto flag that just broke there too. Another halt, look like we're about to get one there coming in for a second. So far, so good. Just make sure 650 could hold now on this trade. If not now, then obviously once we finish up this meeting, maybe there could be a better move on it, as I say that. There we go, nice pop higher. So, all right, hey, hopefully there's more left for me to jump in on this trade. I did not jump in on this trade at least heading into this meeting. I took some money off the table on GFAI and that's the stock I was gonna go to outside of Siri here. So, GFAI I am no longer in this trade. It was a great entry off of Roger's 666 price. We typed that in the chat board. A big iceberg popped up on the bid there and essentially GFAI fell into it, made a beautiful slingshot right here heading into two o'clock. I missed that move too, Roger. Roger said his boss called him in and I said, all right, ended up missing that trade. However, the next level up provided the next entry. So off of seven, tested it once, tested it twice, looked like a Fausto flag and then the pop. So this led to a great squeeze clean dollar move up. I ended up getting just a little over 50 cents.  I'll take 50 cents or so, if not more, but I don't wanna be juggling a lot of pulling pins in the air right now.  And then Steve getting some money on GFAI. Elizabeth earlier got like 70 cents herself on it. It's a great catch. So yeah, either way, we're gonna put GFAI on our list here too. Two runners, nice way to start this meeting off folks. Siri got halted again. Told you that was gonna happen. I thought it was gonna happen around like 690 there, but it kept going a little bit more and then from that point pushed higher. Now, let's go back on Siri really quickly folks. I mean, we could just do with these two. I feel like our hands are gonna be tied with these two stocks anyway. But looking at the weekly chart, I could probably do this cleaner if I had more time. But loosely speaking, like 680-ish basically from like last year into this year was one strong historical level. Perhaps another one that you could potentially keep an eye on is right around here a little over seven, maybe 705, 704. So that's the next support level that needs to build off of. The more it runs parabolic, it's eventually gonna shake back down. Not only that, the more it gets halted going up, it's gonna get halted going down. So be careful on this trade now more than ever. If you're able to get in off 650, then you're up good already, right? I'm rooting it on, but don't be afraid to take the money and run at this stage like Steve and Elizabeth did before.  Well, take your eyes off a stock like this. Geez, this thing completely flew up without us. I mean, that's fine. Again, if it's not one, it's the other, but this thing is very illiquid. It's on a 30-cent spread. I'd rather the other two at this point. So if you're in from a lower price, I'm rooting it on, but I don't think that this is a good trade from this point. Interesting, you got the PSQH warrants on here too, also very illiquid, so not gonna follow that either, but typically the warrants are up more percentage-wise. EVLO, come on down. Another big runner here heading into this afternoon meeting up over 42% or a 41%, but that's the issue. This is the issue right here. It was a 16, 17-cent spread. We don't need this.  You know, if this was NVIDIA, if this was the price of Microsoft, I'd understand, but for a $9 stack, it's just way too high risk. It's moving up and rooting it on if you're in already, but now this a little bit easier on the eyes in terms of the order book. It's up as much percentage-wise too. So I'll definitely put a stock like this on here, but I also will say this is like a little slope right now.  Ooh, XXII ran also today too. There's so many that ended up squeezing up, heading into like kind of quiet lunchtime time of the day.  Don't worry, you got about 65, 70 more minutes left of action remaining. So we'll see if there's anything left that we could follow up with the GFAIs out there, the series out there. Ahi was from before the market open session. This popped and dropped already. Gorilla, same deal. This one more was from pre-market, then completely tanked at the open. Zion, one of the regional banks, more of a choppy move for a $37 trade. Boyle, choppy, but trended off the lows really nicely. And with this, the cheaper trade, UNG, you know, it's like quote, unquote, safer. If you're following the sector, they're all gonna make a similar type of move. But in terms of pace, I mean, Boyle price wise, but also order book wise, they all made the same type of move up. Boyle, UNG, the natural gas ETFs there. Ooh, nice pop right now, PGY. This stock actually we've had on our watch list for a little bit now, I think from yesterday and the day before heading into the afternoons, we're hoping for a sharper run like this year. So definitely good to say PGY. All right, so that takes us over to the loser side here, folks. If there's anything else that looks good on the way up, let me know, but the markets were breaking lower heading into this meeting. So with that, there's a couple of stocks that I was calling out short, AI and Mara, and we'll get to a couple of others in just a bit. VIR, I mean, don't get me wrong, this is down big and shortable, but it's about 20 cents off from the lows. So it has a ways to go to get to there, and if it does break there, how much lower is it gonna go? I definitely want the follow up with tomorrow, I think, VIR. I think more so than anything, this move's just more tired out, exhausted. Say that here, say that here for the most part, even though it looks like it's moving, $102 stock, it should be making a pretty decent trend up or down. So I ended up holding off of $103-ish or so, but that's really it there. EPLS, this one's closer to the lows, I feel. Price-wise, I don't have a great need though. Carvane shortable all of a sudden, I don't know if you realized that from earlier. C-Van is actually easy to borrow on trade station platform right now. Doesn't mean you should trade it though, it's just way too chaotic right now. I'd pass on it. The VRM trade moves with Carvana, so obviously that tanked with it. Now obviously that takes us to Tesla now. So markets down, Tesla getting cooked. Geez, so earlier today, this ended up breaking below support off of 270. I mean, it tanked right out the gate, but 270 was a key iceberg level. If you joined me earlier in the Investor Expo multi-speaker event, you're talking about this live, showing the iceberg order of 270, and this played out exactly how I thought it was going to, because when we were leaving off with it, it was as it was pulling back down. Now saying, well hey, if this fails to hold a higher low, and if this keeps testing 270 over time, the more it's, or since it's already tested it like two or three times already before that, well just on the very next test of it, the very next attempt cracked it right on down. So let's take a look at book map here. There we go. Typically for Tesla, you want to trade the $5 incrementals, so 265, 270, et cetera. So 265 next big level, 260 after that. Now, if Tesla's too expensive for you, that is okay, because it's too expensive for me in terms of trading the stock, you could trade the option by puts on it, but here's where you could trade TSLL, this is an ETF, but again, we talked about this in the morning meeting. So we're gonna put both on our list, Tesla stock and TSLL, the one and a half X leverage ETF. All right, so that kind of leads me to say, and I'll probably jinx myself with this, probably not a whole lot left out there. And as I say that, another ETF here, not SOXS, which I know, I think Larry had called out earlier, which actually I'm on here pushing back up right now. I'd rather trade this on the way up than SOXL on the way down, it's quintessentially the same thing. But as this goes up, SOXL goes down, that's basically the chip tech sector. So NVIDIA, AMD, Micron, Intel, et cetera, et cetera. So obviously right now AMD down nearly 5%, but breaking new lows, NVIDIA, same deal. We don't really trade the ETFs as frequent folks, we always have new members joining us, so I have to just say that repeatedly, but that's because A, it's a lot more difficult to follow order flow without book map, without level four on an ETF. But then otherwise, the days that we will trade an ETF are the days where the markets are making sharper moves up or down. So here in the case of today, down, and with that, actually there's one I'm just thinking of on the top of my head, I guess it wasn't up as much percentage wise, had a huge pop just a moment ago though, UVXY, good timing, perhaps more to come on this trade. It's only up 1%, so that's why we didn't find it on the gainers list, but should the markets keep dropping, then especially after the sharper pop that this just had here, I'm a fan. So I'll put UVXY on our list here too. All right, so let me know folks, if there's anything else looking good, up, down, left, right, more than 5%, take a look at some sideless stocks here coming up. My AI trade, I bought puts on this earlier, so it's been off to a great trade, but relatively slow for a $40, $39 stock. It is at the low, so it could be a nice short heading into the afternoon here, but there's gonna be a lot that looks like this. So I'm not gonna put this on the main special list just because I'm in it, it's like just, if there's something better than this, I'd rather follow that. How about Rivian? I mean, not down, I mean, this is going completely against the grain up until this point. So Rivian I forgot about here, just popped up in my head. You know what?  All right, what else we got here? Mike's saying Chewy at the low of the day, Chewy's in trouble, looking at that gap. Chewy needs to hold support here if it wants to be anywhere near bullish, but I don't think that's gonna be the case there, Mike. Yeah, I mean, not a bad trade at all, Chewy. I could kind of group this with AI. This looks a little bit better than AI, and a little bit more than AI, percentage-wise. What else do we have? Let's see if there's anything even better, no harm with trading Chewy, Mike. Good call, if you do well on Chewy consistently, you know who you are. You could probably say the same on roadblocks. A lot is moving, folks. So just the goal of this afternoon is to not be overwhelmed. I would just recommend to traders here, unless if there's a stock that is making an extreme move that you know that we're gonna look to call out, I would refrain from calling out the sideless stocks otherwise.  Oh, no one trades Neo right now. This is slow, not going anywhere. Probably same to be said with SoFi. Palantir at the low is but also pretty slow. There's gonna be some trades that you should probably avoid regardless. But otherwise though, I just don't want our students to be overwhelmed with how much there really is moving.  Again, I'm sure that we're all gonna be inclined to follow the stocks that are looking best in our opinion. So if there's a sideless stock that is tradable and you do well on, crush it. I hope you follow it into the close. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Pack W on the way down, and it's just a sideless play, Rx, Rx. I'm kind of looking to stall at the morning stock that we were going through. Key Bank, I forgot about this. This actually had a nice reversal from the pre-market drop it had earlier and then pushed up. Just more of a sideless play as well. I'm not gonna put this on the main one. Anyone from YouTube or social media here, if there's any other stocks that you have for me, let me know. Just gonna take a last look at Benzinga Pro or Scanners here. Take one last look at Siri again. We don't need to build out a big list when this thing is just ripping. So let me ask right now, is anyone in on Siri still? I know John just got out on half of his trade. All of us who is in on Siri? I mean, this thing sure went under, over, moved up much higher. Hey, congratulations. Ronnie sold it out at 32% gain. Love to hear that. Steve's still in, Elizabeth's still in, and what I said earlier holds true. I know it pushed up higher, but the more times this thing gets halted on the way up, it's gonna get halted on the way down. You don't wanna be a part of that. Don't you? Don't you? So, you know, scale out accordingly. You could scale out. You don't need to sell the whole thing out in one shot, but, you know, over time, definitely take the money and run. Now, really quickly, I'm thankful I caught this here today. I never really look at the other tabs outside of the main chat, but one of our trial members here asking or saying, please list trades to enter buys and sells. Allow me just to make a mention to any of our trial members joining us here. Don't look to buy and sell what we're calling out. And I've said that from the morning meeting today. Fausto said that just from the beginning of this week. Until you go through our curriculum and truly understand what we're calling out and why we're doing what we're doing, it's best to observe. And then just see that, hey, you know what? We're actually calling out these runners, not just like on a fluke occasion. This is literally every day of the week. That's the goal of the trial membership. But from there though, once you're going through our classes, that's where we have the chance and time, like more time than this little meeting to actually teach it. But with that though, that's where we would say to at least look to follow level three, follow level four, you need to know where the big icebergs are first before you know what the stock is more likely to do. And then also mine, you might say, Fausto and I are not financial advisors. We cannot directly tell you where to buy and sell. We've always said that from the get-go folks. That's why I'm trying to scream caution here. Look at the drop, look at the drop. Here we go. I mean, it's easy to say for as much as it pushed up, but who wants to be on the receiving end of this, right? So it's easy to take the money and run. You could always get back in on the trade if it affords you the chance to. If I afford you the chance to, it means by pulling back to big support and then holding from there. What if it doesn't hold from there? Well, you have to know how to manage the trade and look to get out before it really shakes lower. And that's what we teach you throughout our curriculum. All right, you gotta learn before you could earn folks. For any of our new trial members joining us here, certain that most of us already have done this, but please, if you have not done this yet, then you're doing yourself honestly more of a disservice than anything. Just make sure that you call our office, schedule a set time with your education advisor. I'm telling you, it takes like 10 minutes. We're gonna be able to teach you everything about the trial membership, where to access the prerecorded workshops. So there is supplemental education that comes with this trading room, but please contact our office if you have not been in contact with them already. If you have, perfect. All right, folks, but hey, best of luck trading heading into the market close here for all of a sudden social media if you're interested in joining John and Kathleen Leda and Steven Rodney and Michael and Elizabeth. Just what you could do is if you're fancy with your phone as I like to say, just scan the QR code right there on the bottom of the screen, get access to a week long trial inside our live trading room. And then otherwise, just if you're just not as fancy, go right down to the link on the banner below on the bottom of the banner below, scrolling there, ct.co. slash trial. And you could join all of our students there. All right, folks, hey, Rich will be on the mic in about T minus eight minutes, taking you into the rest of the afternoon. Best of luck.


Pike County officials have been working four months to clean up illegal dumps and prosecute those responsible. More than 100 cases are now before judges in Pike District Court.   You get over that shock and the next thing you know, you're linking it to businesses. Pike County Solid Waste Enforcement Officer Bruce Anderson says they have had suspicions that companies hired to repossess mobile homes have been dumping their contents illegally. But a recent phone call confirmed it.  Household items, not just, I'm talking furniture, toys, bicycles. I pull in, identify myself and they pretty well just said we're dumping. And then when they explain that they're contractors for a bank to clean out homes that's been repossessed by the bank to be ready for sale, they were loading it up and dumping illegally. But it's more serious than that. Anderson says a few businesses are also responsible for illegal dumping of things like tires, mattresses and even furniture to avoid paying a fee at the county landfill. I never thought when I went into a business, and again, not all businesses, but some businesses and they're getting rid of my old stuff, I'm happy because I'm not throwing my back out. Then I take this job and I'm in shock. There it is over the hill, mattresses and tires. And you pull out your new tires, what do you think? You just pay the disposal fee. They're going to take them to the county landfill where they dispose of tires properly, what I find out on many occasions. This guy goes up and says, look, I'll get rid of these tires for 50 cents a tire. And then they're not coming up to the disposal tire place, they're over our hills. Anderson says there is something companies can do to stop the illegal dumping. Ask for a receipt. All they got to do is say, once you dispose of it, bring me back a receipt which any place, the tire disposal place, the landfill, they'll give you a receipt. Just one little thing like that would help to clean up. And I know it would do about 75% of the tire problem. Because when you pull up and there's 100 tires, that ain't just because John Doe put four new tires at his house. Pike County Judge Executive Ray Jones encourages businesses who hire people to dump their garbage to take a closer look at how that happens. If we find out a business is having someone haul tires, whatever it is, and if they're disposed of illegally, then we're going to let the enforcement officer look at potential action against the business that arranges it. Because there is a responsibility if you know something is going to be dumped, that it is dumped or disposed of properly and legally. But this is where we all live, this is where we're raising our families, this is where we're building businesses, we're trying to build a future. And these people obviously don't care about the future of Pike County if they're just willing to go pour garbage or debris into a wide spot or over an embankment or in a creek. And if you're caught, we're going to say that you're prosecuted to the fullest extent law. To report illegal dumping in Pike County, you can call the Pike County Judge Executive's office.

Welcome to today's presentation entitled the Johns Hopkins Orchid Registry. My name is Jacob White and I am an informationist at Welch Medical Library. My pronouns are he, him, his. The J.H. Orchid Registry was created and is maintained by Welch Medical Library. The registry links Johns Hopkins researchers to their orchid records and makes these associations available across the Johns Hopkins community. J.H. Orchid Registry enables you to create and link your orchid record and manage your orchid record by accessing an editable version. Now we go through the steps of creating a new orchid ID that's linked to your JED. This process is similar to linking an existing orchid ID that you may already have. Step one is to go to the J.H. Orchid Registry at orchid.johnshopkins.edu. Your next step will be to go to the orchid website. You will be directed there by a link from this page. Don't worry, at the end of this process you will be automatically routed back to the J.H. Orchid Registry website. Now you're on an orchid web page. While it is beneficial to link your Google or Facebook, the best step here is going to be to click register now. One benefit of linking a Google or Facebook is that when people change institutions, they're able to still access their record to modify or alter their permissions. You will now have to fill in a form with some basic information such as your name and your primary email address. The point of orchid is that each individual researcher only has one unique ID. Before you complete the process of authorizing your record, you will be asked to make sure other existing records might not belong to you. If none of these records are yours, you can click none of those are me continue with registration. Now you'll be asked to create a password for your orchid account. Once you've created a compliant password, you can advance to the next step. Now you'll be asked about the visibility settings for your record. Our preference is you have full visibility, but you can modify it if you would prefer more private settings. Finally, you will need to agree to the terms of use. Once you have agreed to the terms, you are able to register your unique record into orchid. Now you'll be asked to authorize JHU to access your orchid record. This is read only access. JH will not be writing directly into your orchid record. Orchid empowers the individual user to authorize what trusted parties can or cannot read or write into their record. At any point, you can add or remove trusted parties to your account. The point of this step is to affiliate your orchid ID number to your Jed. Once you have authorized JH to be a trusted party to your orchid, you'll be redirected back to the JH orchid registry. At this point, your orchid and your Jed are now linked. You can log into the JH orchid registry in order to access and edit your orchid record. You can also look up other orchid records by searching write Jed. If you click on the access your record link, you'll be taken to the editable version of your orchid record. This brings us to the end of our presentation. Thank you very much for your time and attention. Please reach out to us via links on this slide if you have any questions.


This is TFNN, The Tiger, Financial News Network Update. This is your market update with David White at 2 p.m. Right now, we're basically flat on the S&P cash, up a little on the Nasdaq, down a little on the Dow, Russell 2000, up a little bit, crude up a lot to almost two and a half percent, gold down half a percent. So far today, as we check in for the volume after one of the biggest days ever, doing about 6.3 billion shares, we've got a few things going on in the market today. So we'll talk about those. First, we had a little discussion this morning on margin calls. You want to be keeping an eye around 230-ish for that. And that is if anybody got real, real, real long and hedge funds are mostly like this, the hedge fund manager will have bad returns and be worried about being fired. So he'll try to make it up on the next trade by going on even higher margin. It's not uncommon to see hedge funds with 25, 30, 35 to 1 margins. So if the market turns against them fairly strongly, they can get wiped out fairly quickly. Now the broker who handles their trades can handle it basically any way they want for retail traders and a lot of the hedge funds. That comes at about 10.30 in the morning where you have to have money transferred, wire transferred into your broker's account. If you've gone on the wrong side of the market and then if the market, you know, sometimes they'll let people go or if the market turns against them, they'll try it again at 2.30. So we'll watch and whether or not we get a polar like plunge. Real strikes on Friday, everybody's still worried about that and talking about mortgages being down a third over the last year. Moving on from my show, power trade.


This is part two of lecture two. In this part of the lecture, we're going to be talking about how social psychologists test their theories because that is in the end what we do. We come up with a research question and we want to test a certain theory that we have. So let me sort of walk you through how research works. So first of all, you oftentimes have a question as a researcher, something that's on your mind, something that you're wondering about. And this can be spurred because you read an article, a scientific article, or you had a debate with a colleague, or sometimes you just go about your life and you run into a certain situation and you start wondering, hey, is this something that I could test in my social psychology lab? So we start off with a research question, and that's very simple, a question that we can address in scientific research. Then we start thinking about how could we answer this question. So even before we do the research, we try to come up with the answer. We try to think of, hey, what would make sense? And for that, we use theories. We're going to be talking a lot about social psychological theories. We already discussed some of the theories in the very first lecture. And the theory is basically a sort of a set of related assumptions and predictions that is intended to explain a factor in the world. So we want to explain behavior, we want to explain events based on sort of a set of related assumptions. Then we come up with a hypothesis, and a hypothesis is basically a prediction. What we think is going to happen, a prediction what will happen in a certain situation, and this prediction is always based on a theory.   And the outcome of the study is always a prediction of the hypothesis or a rejection of the hypothesis. So you can either say, yes, my prediction, my hypothesis was correct, or at least the results that I obtained are in line with my hypothesis is often what we say. Or we can say we do not find support for the hypothesis. So let me give you an example, something that I studied myself. So my research is on relationships. So one factor that could be of interest of me, this was actually a sub question of one of my research lines. Does selectivity, so how selective, how picky you are when choosing a partner, does that depend on gender? So is there a difference between men and women in selectivity? Then you can start thinking about a certain theory that could predict this. Well, one theory that could have sort of predictions about this question is evolution theory. Evolution theory would probably argue that women are more selective, more picky, more critical when it comes to choosing a partner than men. And that is because the investments that women have to make when choosing a partner are bigger, they run higher risks, they are more vulnerable in relationships. And also, if we go one step further, if you decide to start a family with a certain partner, then a women run a higher risk because if you choose the wrong partner and you end up being pregnant and this partner leaves you or treats you bad or treats your children bad, then you're really in a very difficult situation. So according to evolutionary theory, women should be very selective when it comes to choosing a partner. Okay, so let's imagine this is my hypothesis, then I can study this. So how can I study this question? There's actually several ways that you could use. I will now describe three different methods that we could use to answer or to try to study this question. The first one is using archival data. The second one is using observations and finally we can also rely on surveys. Okay, so let's start by talking about using archival data. So this is a dating application or actually sort of a fake dating application which looks like the dating app Tinder. For some of you it looks familiar maybe. So in this dating app you see profiles of potential partners and you can choose to either accept this partner which would be swiping to the right or you can reject this partner and that would be swiping to the left and that's what this lady over here is doing with all the profiles she sees. She is being very selective, she's being very picky. So using data that comes from for example a dating application such as Tinder, so data that's actually available that's sort of in archives that will be relying on archival data. So you don't have to run a study yourself, you just have to look up the numbers and you have to see whether you can find information that can be from archives of a dating application but also for example in the newspaper or using other archives to get information to answer your research question. This would be one way to go about this and if we would do so we will probably see that our expectation is correct that women are indeed more picky than men. Here you see some swipe statistics and the red parts of the bar are the rejections, the passes, the swipe to the left and here you see that females are indeed very selective. 95% of the profiles they see they swipe to the left. These men or oftentimes men sometimes women don't stand a chance. For men they are used different strategies, they are less selective and for them it's pretty much 50-50 who they select and who they reject. So yes, if you use this methodology then you will find that indeed women are more selective than men. Maybe you don't want to rely on archives, maybe you really want to test data yourself and what you then could do is use observations. You could for example go to a bar and you can watch behaviors of men and women in a bar and see how picky they are when it comes to choosing a partner. If you would do that you can do a field study in which you actually go to a bar and test your hypothesis. That would be quite a fun study to do, right? Then finally another method that you could use is relying on surveys, questionnaires, that's really a favorite of social psychologists. We love questionnaires and in questionnaires you just basically ask people how picky are you, how selective are you when it comes to choosing a partner and I did this in the past and I can confirm that indeed also when you ask people women indeed also say that they are more selective when choosing a partner than males. So these are the different ways in which social psychologists can gather their data.


It's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm going to be talking about my top 17 books of the year of 2017. So these are all books that I loved. Obviously they're my favorites of this year, some of my favorites of all time, things like that. And I'm really bad at narrowing down favorite books so the first like seven are kind of like should some of them should be like in the tops like 10 and then I'm like no and then it's a mess. Like but the point is is I love these all but they are kind of an order but I love them all. Great. Um and I've been still making this video so we're gonna make it snappy so that cuz I don't think you guys want to sit down all day and watch my face so let's get into it. Here I have a number 17 I have a Liza and her Monsters by Francesca Zappia. If you don't know this is a why you can temporary book about a girl who is struggled with social anxiety and anxiety in general and she writes and illustrates a web comic series that's really popular on the internet but no one knows like it's anonymous so they don't know that she's the one doing it so she goes to school and this boy she means this boy who's like a huge fan of her web comic series and makes and writes fan fiction for it and they kind of but he doesn't know that she's the one who runs the whole thing. She's just like portrayed as like a fan and it's about that in their relationship and it's about Eliza and her cutting-of-age story. I really loved it. I loved her other book last year. Francesca Zappia's other book was on my favorites last year and this book was just so good. I just loved it so much and it's so engaging, so interesting. I tabbed so many things and I think it's definitely a one a one one that you should all check out if you haven't already. If you're I have the female of the species by Mindy McGinnis. This book is a really dark book that really surprised me. A girl named Alex whose sister was killed three years ago and the way she's coped with this is violence so this book talks about how she knows how to kill people and we just follow someone in this mindset and someone that's really devious and there's so many other things and there's so many trigger warnings so definitely look into trigger warnings. I know off the top of my head there's one for rape in this book so keep that in mind but very dark. I loved the writing style and I really enjoyed the characters so like I didn't love that. Like I enjoyed not the right word for this book but like for the characters but it was just it was really good.  This book I read closer the beginning of the year and this is a book that follows a transgender main character. It was her actually going to new school after her transition and things like that and it just follows her character. It's so little but just so powerful and I would highly recommend this for so many reasons and I've just I read it in the beginning of the year and I still think about it and it was so addictive to read. It was so insightful and I learned a lot from this book and I think it's definitely one that everyone should read so check it out. Next up here I have The Godfather by Mario Puzo. I have a review for this. I'll link it up on the screen. You shouldn't be surprised to see this here. Basically this is it's kind of hard to describe. It's a classic. It involves the mafia. There's Italian characters, a lot of not gorm, well there's blood, death, and all this stuff involved in it. This book was just fantastic from the writing to like the story arc to just everything about it. I loved it so much and that's why it's one of my favorites of this year and I don't know like I don't think I can I don't know if I'm continuing or not because I liked this enough and I'm like I don't know but we'll see. It's quite a popular one and that is We Are The Ants by Sean David Hutchinson. This book is so good. It's contemporary.  It deals a lot with sadness. It's very relatable and there's also like an underlying sci-fi element which I also made a video about this at the beginning of the year called Why You Should Read We Are The Ants so I'll have that linked but this was just phenomenal. Again I still think about it. I think I started doing yeah so I started like drawing stuff in the cover and like I just loved this so much.  Like who doesn't want to read that book? I feel like I'm showing you guys all YA but like these were my favorite books so like I don't care. Yeah there is a lot of YA but there's some adult. I don't think you guys care whatever. Okay next is Under the Rose Tainted Skies by Louise Gournel. This book oh my gosh I love this so much. This if you have anxiety or you struggle with any mental illness do not or at least proceed with caution because this describes like full-on panic attacks and I'm definitely like I'm so impacted by this book. There's a small romance but it basically it's a girl that has agoraphobia and there's some other trigger warnings like self-harm involved with this book but it's just such a moving story. It's written so well and I'm so excited to pick up with whatever Gournel writes in the future and this was just so good so good. I have a review for that one as well. So coming in at number 11 we have The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Alpertalli. This was gold like so relatable so much diversity so much going on beautifully written. I love this book so much you need to read it. This is about a girl named Molly who has a bunch of unrequited crushes and so she's never been like rejected but she's never like what's the word pursued any of these crushes that she's had and it's just it's very relatable to a lot of teenagers I feel and I like she knows how to write teenagers. Like I'm gonna pick up anything Becky Alpertalli writes because I love this one so much and I also like Simon but like I love The Upside of Unrequited and I did meet her and she was the sweetest little nugget I've ever seen and like she's so active on Twitter like I love this author in her books so much. End of the top ten which this is a pretty interesting sec but coming in at number ten we have Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy which made a huge just I just wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. Basically it's a better girl named Ramona who's really tall has long blue hair she lives in Mississippi I believe it is if I'm thinking correctly but thinking about if I'm accurate on that I don't know I forget but this book is just so good it involves a girl like figuring out who she is it's a coming-of-age story just like a lot of these books are and I just adored it so much and it's definitely one of the like it's one of the best contemporary books I've ever read. It's just so worth the read like I don't know what else to say like it was so good and I loved it so much and I just enjoyed myself reading it so like I just loved reading it so much. It also involves like Hurricane Katrina Katrina there's also like family elements friendship relationships there's just so much going on and it was so good and it just says I got assigned this one as well I was out of signing with Becky Albertalli and Ramona, not Ramona Julie Murphy and Angie Thomas as well but this was so fantastic. At number eight we have Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov this is about a older man who falls in love with a child and it's just as stepped up as it sounds. It was one of the most disturbing books I've ever read it was one of the most graphic in ways because it describes like children's bodies like in that way which is disgusting to me like you know in a sexual way okay but it was amazingly written like oh my god like so F thought but so interesting to read and it was just so good like I couldn't like I want to reread I'm gonna reread this one this year in 2018 but this was just oh my god it is it by Stephen King. You guys know I love this I talk about this so much like just look at the tabs and this you've heard of it the film I don't have to explain but it's about great I get a lot of people have issues with this book and I definitely don't agree with like some things that happen later in the book and things like that you guys know what I'm talking about if you've read it but this was phenomenally written a great story interesting characters just really good read and really great book and I loved it a lot and yes this next book I read in December and managed to squeeze its way into my top 10 list and that is the afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand this is actually a Christmas curl retelling and it's so good it was written so well the romance was so cute the writing's amazing like I don't know what to say it was just so good and basically it says like every scrooge deserves a second chance and we follow our main character who was a scrooge and has now become the ghost of Christmas past and has to like go visit other scrooges and it's just so interesting so well thought out so well written love the characters love the plot love the writing great read here I have notes self like Connor Frantha and this is a nonfiction book about Connor Frantha his life some stories he shares it's full of absolutely well just look at that in pages absolutely I tap the line absolutely beautiful images really inspiring and insightful stories and poetry and I wasn't sure if I should put this in like my poetry thing but it's mostly a novel so like not a novel you know what I mean it's mostly okay but yeah it's just absolutely stunning it was so insightful so thoughtful I love this so much it was inspirational to me I just think it's one of the best nonfiction books that I've read so here I have what I lost by Alexander Belar this book does have some serious trigger warnings for eating disorders and some other topics so keep that in mind before picking this up but a 17 year old girl who gets sent to an eating disorder facility and for her anorexia and it's about the people she meets there the facility as a whole the eating disorder things like that it was one of the most insightful realistic portrayals of some of like eating disorders and facilities that I've ever read about it was so real and raw and he was so empowering and I love this so much like I don't know what else to say it was so good next up here I have Warcraft for Mary Lou which this is a sci-fi video game kind of book in a way it's about a game called Warcross and you can get transported into this world and it's kind of become everyone's lives and we follow our main character Mika who gets sent to Japan to meet the owner of Warcross after she hacks into the game and it's so fantastic I'm not a big sci-fi person like usually I couldn't get into sci-fi books but this book was absolutely phenomenal and I know some people have been picking it up on my account and loving it too so I'm like oh my god yes you loved you love Warcross great but I love this book so much so interesting so engaging beautiful writing I just loved everything about it it was great like I can't I can't praise it enough coming in number three is Lord of Shadows with Sandra Clare fantastic phenomenal love this story love these characters I think you know what it's about it's the second book in the Dark Artifices series and it is the sequel to Lady Midnight great book long with that I have a Court of Wings and Ruin which I felt every emotion while reading this I was pissed I was happy I was sad I was mad like I was freaking out like this books sit me such an impact on me and I also met her Sarah Jean as I met her too I went to a few like good signings this year oh it's my other copy because I have two copies this is like what my my copy that's untouched but I have a copy with tabs and she signed it to so yes love this book as well and then coming into my number one book of 2017 is Hunger by Roxane Gay this is a nonfiction book that deals with Roxane Gay's story about her body and her life and it's just one of the most fantastic books I've ever read it really gives a different perspective on a lot of topics and I loved it so much so there you guys have it those are my top 17 books of 2017 I love it looks so much and there's so many more that I loved but this is all I could talk about today so yes if you have not seen my favorite manga of 2017 I'll link that video down below and my favorite poetry of 2017 is also coming in the future so look out for that and I really hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know your top three favorite books of the year if you can narrow it down I challenge you to narrow it down but yes thank you all so much for watching I hope you had a fantastic reading here in 2017 and obviously we're already always into 2018 but I hope you have a fantastic reading here a fantastic life a fantastic year whatever thank you so much for watching bye


The song is a paranoia, paranoid, with that boy Finesse two-time. How did you end up even doing that? Is that another major move by the manager? Man, just tell me a little bit about how it was. I mean, I've seen you, was it either opening for Kevin Gates, man? Talk to me about that a little bit. How'd it happen? You know, my manager put it together. And then I just understood the assignment, you know what I'm saying? Give me some detail.  No, not that many people. Okay, so how was it? Were you nervous? Not at all. Really? No, not at all. The hot boy West said, man, that he was nervous then and still. He said, how about West say he couldn't deal with it when he first did it? But you say you just automatically felt like, damn, I'm supposed to be here. This is real, right. Well, I'm going to keep it real, like, it's all about, like, when you know what you signed up for, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I signed up to be in front of a lot of people like that, so. You know, and plus I got a gift, so I want to show it to the world anyways. The song is a paranoia, paranoia with that boyfriend there's two times. How did you end up even doing that? Is that another major move by the manager? That's dope, bro. You know, the thing is about it, you know, when you first get went into this thing with this manager, not knowing him, he just called you. I remember our early on conversations, man. He was a hell of a man.  I told you that from the job, didn't I? So that nigga go work now. He don't do nothing else. He go work, right?

I'm out your way. I'm going to take off from all these problems.


Hello friends, welcome to the session I am Alka. We are going to discuss matrices. Our given question is the bookshop of a particular school has 10 dozen chemistry books, 8 dozen physics books, 10 dozen economics books. Their selling prices are Rs. 80, Rs. 60 and Rs. 40 each respectively. We have to find the total amount the bookshop will receive from selling all the books using matrix algebra. Let's start with the solution. As we all know that 1 dozen equal to 12 items. Therefore, total number of chemistry books equal to 10 into 12 equal to 120. Total number of physics books equal to 8 into 12 equal to 96. And total number of economics books equal to 10 into 12 equal to 120. The number of books of different subjects are given as a matrix A which is equal to matrix 120, 96 and 120. The selling prices for each type of books is given as matrix B which is 80, 60 and 40. Therefore, total amount received by selling all the books is given by AB which is equal to 120, 96, 120 multiplied by B which is 80, 60 and 40. This is equal to 120 into 80 plus 96 into 60 plus 120 into 40. This is equal to 96 100 plus 5760 plus 4800. This is equal to 20160. Therefore total amount received is rupees 20,160. Hope you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take care.


FNN the Tiger financial news network headline news update everyone Basel Chapman here Tiger Financial News Network 10 a.m. market update and this is the last day of March there's monthly candles gonna wrap up today well it's gonna be an interesting close and on this 28th day of February the doubts down 386 at 33,667 off the lows because last night the moment the market opened the S&P dropped about 102 this is the E-mini futures about 102 points so it's quite a bit off the lows as is the Dow and we're looking at this whole area I said to subscribers who are opening call the whole 33,600 to 33,500 needs to be support over the coming two days that's Monday and Tuesday so we will see what happens now we're looking at the S&P S&P at this particular moment is also down also came off the lows certainly off the lows of the E-mini way off it's down only 38 I say only because let's face that's something minus 38 at 4,346 the E-mini if I can show you here look the E-mini slot was actually green in the candle itself the E-mini was down at the I believe it was a 42,051 area and now it's 42,051 it's almost a hundred points 90 points higher that you know we talk about it climbing a wall of worry in the in the market that's okay as long as not a barbed wire fence we're looking at the QQQ and the X100 trading right now down $1.44 at 344.32 not bad action after Friday's big move up we'll see what happens at the close of the day it needs to hold the 339 level and actually 337 over the next two days below that's a real problem so far so good IWM the Russell 2000 IWM is also trading down 61 cents at 201.80 holding a little better than the others and the H that can potentially go to an M lowercase M patent we're looking at gold which had a huge move at the open last night it set up quite big it's up 26 in 1914 of course it had a much bigger move on Thursday it's screened all the way to 1976 so now it's in 1913 this is on the continuous contract look at crude oil crude oil has spiked higher but now it's down from the higher up 320 and 94 20 hit 100.54 on the continuous contract the other day and the TLT is finally having a little bit of a bounce it's up to $1.92 with $1.30 S&M


So there are 55 students in a class, 25 of them work 20 hours a week or more at jobs outside of school. What percent of the students work 20 hours or more per week at jobs? So we're looking for the percent of students. So what do we know? We know that there are a total of 55 students in this class and we know that 25 of them are working 20 hours or more a week. So first we can set up just a fraction to represent this or a ratio to represent this. So 25 out of 55 students are working. So 25 students are working 20 hours a week or more out of 55 students that are the total number of students in the class. So again you have two options of how you can do this. First I could change this fraction to a decimal. So 25 divided by 55 would give me approximately 0.45 and then remember we can then change that decimal to a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right. So that would give me 45 percent. So this is method one. And this means that 45 percent of the students in this particular class work 20 hours a week or more. Now let's look at method two. The other option would be to take the same 25 out of 55 students and set up a proportion and remember because we're talking about a percent it's going to be something which I don't know out of 100. And to solve this we just cross multiply. So 25 times 100 would be 2500. Set it equal to 55 times x which is 55x. And again to solve we're just going to divide by sides by 55. So 2500 divided by 55 will give us again about 45 percent is equal to our value. So in both cases we end up with 45 percent. One more example. Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to brittle bones and is partially caused by a lack of calcium. Each year 250,000 people suffer osteoporosis related hip fractures. About 15 percent of whom die after sustaining such fractures. How many people die each year after fracturing their hip? So there are two numbers that we need to focus on. The first one we're talking about a total of 250,000 people who suffer from hip fractures. And then we're given that 15 percent of those die. So let's see if we can write this into a problem that makes a little more sense written out in words. So it's really 15 percent of how many die well out of a total of 250,000. So 15 percent of the total is going to be the number that die. And this goes back to one of our rules. First thing, you want to take the 15 percent and change it to a decimal. So remember right now, 15 the decimal places here, move it two places to the left, and we end up with 0.15. Then remember the word of implies multiplication. And then finally just drop down the 250,000. So it becomes a very simple multiplication problem.  So that sums up for cents.


Hi, I'm Terry Prentice, the mobile training prop coordinator from CFA Headquarters. We're here to do the final testing on the two new pressure vessel mobile training props. The props are an LPG burner controlled electronically with sensors to determine when the crews have effectively applied enough water to extinguish the flame. They have built-in control measures to ensure firefighter safety during training and the props only burn gas and we only use water so they're environmentally friendly. These two new props will give CFA a total fleet of 12 mobile props in four different formats. We also have another type of prop simulating a commercial kitchen fire under construction and this is due for delivery in February 2021. The mobile prop project started in 2013 with the initial purchase of three mobile props. This was as an outcome of the Jones Inquiry post-Black Saturday. The idea was to provide realistic hot fire training to volunteers at a location close to their home station. The initial three props were so successful that we purchased an additional seven props in 2015. These two new props and the third one under construction were funded by a grant from the Fire Services Statement Initiative. Bookings for mobile props are organised through your group training coordinator who can find the booking form on the CFA intranet.


Penguin Random House Audio presents Finding My Viginity, The New Autobiography by Richard Branson Read for you by Steve West Dedicated to my parents, Ted and Eve, who made me who I am. To my sisters, Lindy and Vanessa, who have always been there for me. To my wife, Joan, who makes every day an adventure. To my children, Holly and Sam, who dream of an even brighter future. And to my grandchildren, Etta, Artie, Eva Dayer and Bluie, who make me want to turn our dreams into reality. A special thank you to Greg Rose for helping me pull this project together. Greg has spent years getting to know my life, my mind and my tennis serve, and searched through countless unburnt notebooks and memories for us to bring this book to life. Prologue You can only lose your virginity once. But in every aspect of my life, building businesses, raising my family, embarking upon adventures, I try to do things for the first time every day. When I first published Losing My Viginity in 1998, I wasn't a tool prepared for the reaction. I expected the business community, some newspaper reviewers, and a few autobiography readers to pick it up, but before I knew it, the book had taken off. Losing My Viginity is still the most common object handed to me, except a mobile for a selfie, usually by a person with a pen and a smile. I have written short updates to my autobiography over the years, but so much has happened in the past two decades that I realized I needed to write a sequel. I was pondering the right time to do this, when I came across my old notes for student magazine's launch in the archive. I rubbed the dust away to double-check the date. The notes really were from 1967. What better way to mark fifty years since I started out in business than by sharing everything that has happened and all I have learned over the decades? This book highlights incidents from my early days, but it concentrates on the past twenty years, the time I have been finding my virginity all over again. Losing My Viginity kicks on from where Losing My Viginity left off, at the dawn of the new millennium. By 1999 people thought we had done everything, and there was nowhere else left for us to expand, no new challenges for me to embark upon. But being involved in running a company like Virgin is never a question of sitting back, it's about constant reinvention as the world changes, and as do I. This is the story of the last two decades, told through one of the most dynamic brands ... Sample complete. Ready to continue?


What is money? Money is a commodity used for payment in exchange for goods and services. In South Africa, we think of money as rands and cents and prices are expressed in these terms. What did people use before money? For many years, before money was placed in circulation, barter was the only form of trade. Goods were exchanged for goods. For instance, three bags of maize for one sheep. This was a slow and inefficient way of trading as the needs of people do not always correspond. The person parting with the sheep may want chickens in exchange rather than maize. The use of precious metal coins replaced barter trade. Gold and silver coins were minted and used in trade with each coin trading according to its value in gold or silver. At the time, the price of gold and silver was fixed and the value of the coins therefore remained constant. As these coins were heavy to carry around, people deposited these coins with precious metal dealers in exchange for deposit receipts. After some time, these receipts issued to bearer were used in trading rather than to retrieve gold or silver every time a transaction was done. From these tradable receipts, banknotes were developed. The first banknotes were issued by commercial banks which took over the function of storing precious metals. These banknotes were convertible on demand into gold of the same value at the issuing bank. Who has the right to issue banknotes and coins? In South Africa, commercial banks issued banknotes until 1922 when the function was taken over by the SA Reserve Bank, the country's central bank established in 1921 for this purpose. Since 1932, the value of South African banknotes rests on trust. When a person accepts a banknote in exchange for goods and services, there is reasonable trust that the banknote will again be exchangeable for goods and services of similar value or will be accepted as a deposit by a commercial bank with similar value reflected in a bank account. Money has three basic functions which we will look at next. Means of exchange. Money plays a crucial role in any economy as it is an easy means of exchange when people trade. Without money, only barter trade, goods exchanged for goods, can take place which is a slow and cumbersome process. In trade, not only banknotes and coins are important forms of money, but bank deposits and available credit, for instance the unused balance on a credit card are also available for purposes of trade. Many people trade by means of internet banking or debit and credit cards and hardly use banknotes and coins. For the purpose of trade, money can therefore take many forms and the choice of which form to use is determined by convenience. Store of value. Money serves as a store of value. Savings are determined in terms of money values while the same holds true for investments. Debt are also expressed in terms of money. Unit of account. The value of items and the prices of goods and services are expressed in terms of money. For instance, the price of bread is stated as 12 rand 95 cents at your local store or the value of cleaning your dad's car is worth 50 rand to him. Likewise, remuneration is determined in monetary terms, for instance 5,000 rand per month. The implication is that money serves as a common denominator to express cost, value and income. In expressing cost, value and income in one common measurement, it is also possible to make comparisons to determine what is expensive and what is cheap. Conclusion. Money is therefore very important in every modern economy and oils the wheels of exchange. It is not without reason that the expression is money makes the world go round.

Oh, it's gold. It is a true gold of Jason Dominguez For the Yankees. Holy cow, man.


Good morning, and welcome to my channel. Today, I'm going to share with you how I solved a big problem. Some of my favorites through the month of April, and I do have a few beauty items. I am going to talk about what I'm wearing on my face, and then I'm going to circle back and talk about something that was really helpful during, with Jim's hospitalization, and give you an update and just do some chit-chat. Well, first of all, I'll talk about the problem that I had. Until about a week before Jim had his hip replacement, which was, like, it'll be three weeks tomorrow. I was under the impression that we were going to get a hospital bed. The mattress and bed in our bedroom is 30 inches, and that is too high. And our couch, we have two couches in the living room. One of them would have been a little bit better, but the seat is more narrow, and there's a couch that Jim loves, but it was too low. So then he said, well, I don't really need, I don't really want a hospital bed. Yeah, I mean, I had it all figured out, knew exactly where I was going to put the furniture, push it back, and I thought, what am I going to do? So I was just thinking, if I could lift those cushions up and make it higher and make it more firm, that the couch that he loves, so we call, I call it a couch, some people call it a sofa. My mom used to call them Davenport's, but anyway, and I thought, what am I going to do? I mean, it wasn't broken down. They had something you can put underneath your cushions, if your foundation isn't strong, but it was strong. Well, I just started thinking, and I thought I'm going to see if I can order some foam. I thought I'm going to look online and see what I can find, and I wanted some, a supportive foam. Well, I found something, and it is absolutely wonderful, and it's from go-to-foam. I think is the name of it, and I'm going to put a picture in here someplace of what I achieved. It was six inches tall, 24 inches deep, which was the depth of the couch, and it was 72 inches long, and that was just a couple of inches longer than what the cushions were. So it was like $65, $70, and it was not Amazon Prime, although I got free shipping and handling. If it didn't work, Amazon wouldn't take care of it, but I thought if this solves the problem, even just temporarily, it would be worth it because I could find another use for the foam. I had no idea how great it would work. I didn't want it to stand out like a sore thumb, that foam underneath the cushions.  So I ordered it, and here's what it looks like, close-up. I can kind of show you. It is not the best, and it says it's washable, but I doubt if I'll even have to wash it. I'm going to keep it on there for a while, but I told Jim it's not as easy to get new furniture as it used to be. He absolutely loves it. It supports his body. It doesn't dent down. It is pretty dug on amazing, so I was thrilled. It probably won't surprise you if you've watched me very long. Jim and I got married 15 years ago last May, and the only furniture that's been purchased is we got a new mattress when we got married, and probably 10 years after that I bought a sofa table that I have against my wall, I mean that I have against my front window in the living room and then the leather chair that used to be in here that's now in the living room. That's all the furniture I purchased, and I've been really thinking hard as far as knickknacks around my house. I purchased some battery-operated candles and some fake hydrangeas. What I brought in this home in 1991 were things that I really loved, and I don't change it up. I don't. If I love it, I love it, and if I don't, I don't. So that really solved a big problem, and when we get a new sofa, couch, whatever, I can use that phone for something else. I could make cushions for any of the outdoor furniture. I just know it's not going to go to waste. So that was my number one, and briefly I'm going to speak about what I have on my face, and what I'm wearing today is the It Cosmetic Celebration Foundation Illumination, and that's what it looks like, and I don't think it illuminates any more than the regular Celebration Foundation. The only thing I did differently than I usually do is I made sure that I did not have on a blush that has any shimmer, and this one is from Tarte. I don't think they make this anymore, but I think it's called Fairy Dust, and it is just a beautiful blush that has absolutely no shimmer. I wanted you to see what it looks like. I don't have any concealer, that's just all I have on my face. Then I have a few items I want to talk about later, the beauty items that I really do like. Something I've been really happy with is I got a new toilet for the front bathroom downstairs. We have a tall toilet in the back bathroom downstairs, but not in the front. I decided that we needed, both of them needed to be tall, so I'm going to put a picture in because I think this is really cool. I love how the sides look. I love how so easy it's going to be to clean, and I don't like that little silver thing, but I'm going to see if I can get that pushed back a little bit, but I was really, really pleased to get that installed. It has been very helpful. Now the next item I heard about from Melissa 55, and I know it was last year. I know it was last year, and I bought them as soon as she mentioned it, and I'm going to show you the one I used, but I'm going to first show you the package. The name of it is Street Free, and they are a cloth that you can do windows with nothing. I mean absolutely nothing, just water. And here's what mine looks like. I have got three of them. I gave one to my sister, and this is the one I've used ever since, and I know it looks dirty. It almost feels like it's a paper. I don't know what it is, but every time I use it, I wash it under with, I just put a little dawn detergent and wash it, and I mean I've got stains on it because I did some outside windows and things like that.  On the outside, I went down to clean it, and on the inside I went across. I just kind of move it around, and I'm not kidding you, it is. Looks like there's no glass there. I've never used anything that cleaned glass or mirrors as easily, and I've used this probably, I don't know, at least by month, so it's a good one. Thank you, Melissa. I appreciate it. Something else I purchased because I heard Laura Ray speak about it on her channel, and her channel is Shake Up Makeup, and she was talked about getting an LED compact. I don't carry a mirror in my purse, and I thought, you know what, that would be handy. This is one times and also five times magnification. When you open it up, hey, I need that light. It looks nice. When you open it up, it looks like that, and you can lower the strength of the light, and then on the other side it's a one times, but the seven times is too much for me. Five times is perfect. So if you get something in your eye, or you need to check something out when you're gone, when you're not home next to a mirror, I thought this was a really good one. I can't remember how much it was, but I'll list it below, but I was happy to have that. So thank you, Laura Ray, for mentioning that. Okay, you know I love eyeliner in my upper waterline, and I love navy eyeliner in my upper waterline. The first several years that I did YouTube, I always used one from It Cosmetics. It was perfect. Stayed up, didn't transfer, and they made a new formulation recently, and it's just not good. Well, Mary, glitzy fritzy, kind of turned me on to the one from Milk, so I got hooked on the ones from Milk. Well, they quit making them, and I found Milani, and I really liked it, but I wanted a brighter blue, and they didn't have very many shades to choose from. Mary was talking about the one by Gwen Stefani, how it would remind her so much of the one from Milk, so I had to buy it, and I'll show you the color it is, and you'll see how much brighter. There you go. And I have it on my upper waterline today, and I've been wearing it, and I really like it.  I just want it to kind of be dull. Thank you, Mary, for telling me about Gwen Stefani's eyeliner. This next item I absolutely love, and I just stumbled across this when I was looking at Ulta, and it's by Tarte, and it is the Maracuja Juicy Lip Tint, and I'll put something in here showing you how I apply it and what it looked like on. I had clean dry lips, and I put that on, and that's what it looked like, and here's what it still looks like after probably an hour and a half. I love it. But then again, you know I love lip products. It clicks up. I want to get some other shades. I was really taken with this. I like some gloss, and I have 68-year-old lips, and it appreciates a little bit of gloss, and I think it makes them look smoother. I just think it makes lips look good, and I still don't have an answer on my lip plumper, so I'm still working on it. This product I talked about quite a few months ago, and it's from Anastasia Beverly Hills, and it is their brow freeze. I love it. The only thing you have to do is make sure you keep it, you shut it tight, because I have red where it will dry out. I mean, I've used it a long time. I don't know if you can see, but since I have brows, it puts them in place perfectly. I think if you don't have brows, don't have many brows, I don't think it would work, but my brows are fuller because of a couple of reasons, and I don't use any brow product. This is the only thing I use, and it does tame down my wiry ones, because I do have some in here that get kind of wiry, but I've been using this a long time, and I just wanted to tell you, if you have eyebrows, it is really good. Something that I've been wearing since Christmas, and I have not taken it off, I haven't, is this chain. I'll put a close-up. It's a 10-carat gold chain that is adjustable, so I can wear it up high, and I can wear it to 22 inches, and what is so nice about it, all I have to do is grab, go to the back, find the little heart that's right here, and then there's the ball, and I just move it down. Now I have a 22 inch chain, so this is what I do is when I take a bath, I lift it up, I wash my neck, then I take soap, and I clean it, and I've had this little pendant. I would imagine about 50 years it's a diamond with a few rubies on it, and I needed something that was white gold, and I didn't want sterling silver, and even though I, this is before I found out that I'm not allergic to nickel, but still, yet I do want to have, when I wear something all the time, I don't want to have to worry about it, and this is very fluid, but I've just been really happy with it, and what I'm really happy about is how easy it is to get back up here, and I think it's a 0.7 millimeter, it's not a super thick chain, but I've just been really happy, because I've worn all different kinds of necklines, and I don't have to change, and I'm a slacker, you know, I'm a slacker. After my last video, I was talking about the giveaway that I did a couple videos ago, and I wanted to know about where people lived. Well, I heard from every other state with the exception of Wyoming, so that is the only state in the United States that I have not heard from, so I think that's pretty cool. Okay, now I want to talk about something that I love that made it so easy for our hospital visit, and for our travels coming up. I have a lot of suitcases, I do. I have them, and when I get new suitcases, I give them away to somebody that needs suitcases. Of course, I remember when suitcases, they didn't have anything to roll, and I remember we got Mom, one that had this little arm on the side, and you lifted it up, and there was one wheel, and when she would travel, she loved it, and she's the one who taught me to put a strange colored ribbon on your suitcase, so you could always identify it, and I've always done that. Well, I was looking for something with the four rollers on the bottom, something that I could easily carry into the hospital, or Jim could, because he went in through a wheelchair, and I looked, and I looked, and I looked, and I settled on this from Steve Madden, and I'm going to get back because I want to show you what I liked about it. The main thing I loved were the wheels. The second thing that I loved was there was outside storage, and this is expandable, and I will tell you that when we got to the hospital, I got Jim pulled up, got Jim in a wheelchair, went back and parked, and brought this in with me, and he was able to, as I pushed him, he just had his hand on it, and it just went right with him. Well, I gotta tell you a story of what happened. Well, I thought, I will just take this, and I won't take it first, and the reason we took this is because I knew he was going to have to spend one night, and I was really hoping that I could stay, and I could stay, and I had COVID testing done when he had it his done, so they couldn't say, well, you haven't been COVID tested. But anyway, it had this area right here, after we got registered, I put his wallet in here, and his cell phone in here, and I just zipped it up. So anyway, we were, I was sitting in the lobby, and they came, and they got Jim, and we walked back to admitting, and I, you know, of course, took this with me. They said, it'll be a few minutes. So I went back in the lobby, and I thought something about, oh, I'm going to turn his phone off, and I went like this, and it was not in there, and I was sick. I was absolutely sick. They called me back to go into his admission, and I got to stay then, and the whole time I was thinking, I've lost your wallet. I've lost, and I, before I went back, I looked in the trash. I hadn't been anywhere. This went with me to the bathroom. I mean, I hadn't been anywhere. So I thought, well, if I've lost its wallet, and I've lost his phone, I've just lost it. Well, my son came and sat with me while Jim was having surgery, and I looked down, and I noticed that there was another zipper, and I opened this up, and look at all that. It was in there, and I was so thrilled, but it also has a pocket. I'll just put a picture of it. I'll put a link to it. Sometimes you can find these on sale. I prefer the cloth. I don't really want the hard. I know the hard is in style now, but I don't really care what's in style. What I care about is if something is easy for me, and this will be perfect for our future trips. You know I love built bars, and I just want to share with you something. Today is April 26th. It's Tuesday, and they still have these on their website, and they're called yellow chirps, and they're 80 calories, and they are like so soft and good and chewy. I wanted to let you know about that. I wanted to let you know that built has come out with granola bars. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm anxious to try them. It's hit or miss. It's mostly hit for me, but like I still have one paranormal pumpkin that I will eventually eat, but it wasn't my favorite. They did send a new puff to me to try. I can't wait till it comes out. It's like delicious. So when Jim was in the hospital in that suitcase, I had several different built bars because it's getting protein. It's important to me. I can get all my vegetables. I can get all my fruits, but sometimes I just have a hard time getting protein. So all-time favorite. It's either the vanilla, the cherry, Garcia, or the cookies and cream, or the peanut butter, or the brownie, coconut. There's quite a few that I really like. And I have to share with you that Jim is doing wonderfully well. We still have in-home physical therapy. This week they come two times, next week two times, and they'll come down to one each week. And then on May 20th, we go see his doctor again. He is doing great. His goal was if he was able to walk on a cane, that it would be a success. They're just amazed how well he's doing. And he can walk like a cane. He can walk like a cane. And he can walk with a cane. Great. And I think he'll be walking with that one. Thank you so much for your prayers and your good vibes and your good wishes. And we look forward to traveling and using the new suitcases. So anyway, it is all good. Thank you so much for hanging in here with me. I appreciate you. I wish there was something else I could say, but that's the only word that I can think of.  I'm so blessed. Anyway, I will see you in my next video and you take care. And I thought, what am I going to do? So I thought, well, I'm going to look at Walmart. No, I didn't. I'd rather be shooed me very not. They don't. I know that the bed and the mattress.


To my first 100, I had four written down but it's just become 105 and it might even be 106 by the time this video goes up. To my first subscribers on this new YouTube channel by you subscribing certainly helps validate my efforts that are going into this YouTube channel. So thank you so much. I wanted to quickly use this airtime for three things. One is I want to quickly explain to you how I ended up here. Second of all what my plan is on this channel over the next say six or so months and lastly I'm really eager to get your feedback and input on future content creation right here. You see for me it was 12 months ago and I was in a corporate job working for an American software company. Now on the side for a couple of years I was running at a business called Bike Chasers an online marketplace for bikes and that business reached a point in its maturity where it made sense for me to have a crack at it full time. So that's essentially what I did. It was about just over 12 months ago. Now over the last 12 months I have gone from sales guide bike chasers so selling the bike chaser platform to bike shops here in Victoria focusing on this market first. We've now got about 50 dealers that use the platform about 4,000 products and then we reached a point say mid to late last year where we needed to generate leads for our clients and we didn't have the capital to invest in Google AdWords and Facebook marketing and all this kind of stuff so we turned to content to organically generate traffic to bike chaser to generate leads for our bike dealers and in doing so I soon recognised the power of video in terms of content creation and then I soon understood the cost associated with video so the only way we were going to be able to do video on bike chaser was sorry we've just got someone at the front door I think it's the postie I'm just shooting a video in here is that it's okay if you just leave at the front door thanks mate yeah so I soon realised that the cost associated with video and if I was to do video that we're going to have to do it ourselves so I started figuring out the video equipment and I started to do the video editing software and audio editing software and if you go to the bike chaser youtube you'll see a gradual progression in terms of the quality of video content on that station and in fact if you go back to the real early days the first few videos they're super poor and quite embarrassing and worth a bit of a laugh so what I've personally recognised over the past 12 months through being the sales guy bike chaser through doing back in technology administration work through doing podcasts and articles and video that the thing that I love doing the most is video which is why I've set up this channel right here now the plans for the next six months on this channel firstly I really want to get your feedback thoughts and ideas on future content creation right here Tom Gould one of the subscribers has already provided some really great feedback and I'm keen to get more because I want to basically pull out the themes that I'm hearing from you and run hard at those and try my best to make them come to life on this channel secondly I've already heard a lot from our subscribers that they want to see more of Lee Turner no surprises there his video that we did together the 170 different cycling tips cycling kits I should say has already been picked up by bike radar road cc cycling tips bike chaser just to name a few so clearly he has presence in front of the camera and what I'm thinking for our next piece together if Lee's up for it I conscious I don't pay him a salary is he is considered to be the mayor of one of the biggest bunch rides here in Melbourne called North Road Long so I'm thinking maybe a short style documentary on that ride with Lee as the centerpiece so be keen to get your thoughts on that one below thirdly I'm keen to share some of my biohacking tips with you over the past say five or six years as I'm considering myself to be more of an aging style athlete I'm looking for ways that I can improve my physical performance through hacks and I've done things like the Wim Hof method I've done fasting I've done the bulletproof coffee style I use essential oils so I'm going to take my five or six years of experience and blend them into a number of small videos to share some of my insights that I've learned from doing these biohacks and the next one I've got coming is one on the essential oil peppermint and how I use peppermint essential oil for improved physical performance on the bike I've also got some more entertaining cycling videos lined up so like the Lee Turner one the next one of that ilk is I'm going to head down to one of the biggest trek dealers based here in Melbourne they're called Omara cycles Jay Omara who is the owner of that store he's been in the bicycle industry for 20 plus years been in bikes his entire life apparently he can change the tube on a road bike wheel faster than anyone so we're going to go down and film that and then lastly I'm thinking of creating a bit of a series on this channel what I've recognized over the last few years is as I'm getting older I've got one big effort in me every year sort of like a four or five month stint so last year I rode the length of New Zealand in the middle of the winter yes it was only over 13 days but I did train for it this year I want to finally win an A grade criterion now to some that may not sound like much but when you consider the level of rider here at the local criterion seen in Melbourne so a whole bunch of NRS riders the likes of Tommy Nairn Curvis it's actually a very difficult thing to do unless you absolutely train your ring off so that's what I'm going to do I don't want to bring you along and document the whole process from speaking to coaches from meeting people that are experts in physical performance and obviously my own personal training program so that's what I've got planned love to hear your thoughts below and once again thank you so much for subscribing I look forward to seeing you in the next video thanks for watching


What is it about this team you think, Vaughn, and into the game, out of the game, how are you guys feeling about it all?  Man, we had so much respect for the Tennessee Titans, man. So much respect for Derrick Henry and Coach Vaberon and all those guys that, like you said, they had a team full of tough guys, and we knew that going into the game. And we just prepared that way. We knew we was gonna have a fighter in our hands. I mean, nobody knew we was gonna win by that much. Like, we didn't go into the game with that type of mentality. We was just going into the game to win the game. And to have success like that against a very, very good team, man, it feels good. And the thing about this team, we got so many leaders and we got so many great players on this team that they're able to compartmentalize and just celebrate that night because you have to celebrate wins. You celebrate that win, we came in the next day and we're back to working on a good Miami team right now.
