This week on Titans All Access the Titans are 2-0 in the AFC South and are coming home to host Monday Night Football against the AFC's hottest team. Crucial catch is the league's initiative to honor those who battled cancer. Monday's 12th Titan Cheryl Crowe shares her story. Ben Jones is known for his toughness and is this week's Nissan Insider. Plus Coach Mack is back to break down the biggest blaze from Sunday's win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. All of this and much more coming up on Titans All Access. The monster! Derek! Welcome to the Bette MGM Studio and Titans All Access. With Amy Wells, I'm Mike Keith. The Titans are 2-0 in the AFC South after going to Jacksonville last Sunday and posting an 18-point victory. And you know, I think Derek Henry said it best when he said it wasn't pretty but it was beautiful. Isn't that good? I think it was. Mike, what do you think the Titans can take from that game as they enter what is a challenging stretch of AFC game? Oh, I think there's a lot that they can take from it. Most specifically, if they take care of their business, they can beat anybody. And that is if they play good third down defense, if they do well themselves offensively on third down and in the red zone, they score touchdowns. And if they don't make big mistakes, there's a lot to improve on from that game. It wasn't pretty, but it was beautiful because it was a win. But what you take away is the big things they did well. If the Titans can take care of the little things and continue to take care of the big things, they can be successful the rest of the way. Well, and the Titans are getting ready to play on a big stage on Monday night football. What do you remember from Monday night football games? Remember every Monday night football game the Titans have ever played. Two of my favorites 2007 at the Superdome. Mr Monday night Keith Bullock called his shot. He said I'm gonna play big. He intercepted three passes. He became Mr Monday night that evening, September 24 2007 and the following year the year the Titans started 10 and 0 and won the AFC South 2008 Monday night football against the rival Colts code blue for the first time at Nissan Stadium. Huge fourth down stop turns the game around. Titans go on to win to basically that night clinched the division. Those are the two that really jump out to me. And this Monday night against the bills. It could be another great one overall. I hope so. Undoubtedly. So we're gonna talk about crucial catch in this program. Something very important from the National Football League. And I was so excited to talk with somebody who's going to be a big part of this on Monday night. The great artist Cheryl Crow. But up next on Titans all access another big star Ben Jones sits down with our Amy Wells and the Nissan Insider. Stay tuned for that. The mayor of Murfreesboro Kevin Byrd is known for his ball hawk skills. And on Sunday number 31 did something he's never done in his NFL career. Here's Dave McGinnis with the analysis. This is Coach Mack. Welcome to this week's beneath the surface powered by Microsoft Surface. First third down in the ball game. Watch Trevor Lawrence take the snap. He starts to look to his left very well covered downfield. So he goes to his check down his tight end on a flat route to the outside great trigger by Elijah Mullen breaks on the ball puts his head across the bow. Ball is out. Kevin Byrd entire defense is racing to the football. Pick it up and go with it. Let the officials sort it out. The officials sorted it out correctly. Touchdown Titans. Huge way to open the ball game for the Titans defense. We welcome you back to Titans all access from the Bet MGM studio. A lot of stars on this edition of Titans all access including one that's clearly a star within the Titans locker room. And I'm talking about Ben Jones. A long time outstanding center for the Tennessee Titans. Ben Jones is one of the most respected players in the Titans locker room. And as our Amy Wells sits down with him for Nissan Insider. Ben Jones lays out the parts of the game that are still important to keep him playing well into his 30s. Oh tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow is here. Ben Jones this is your 10th season in the national football league. 10 years. Why are you still here? Like why are you still doing this? You've been successful. You've made some good money.  You've proven everything. Why do you come back? I'm a competitor and the reason I play this sport is to win a championship and I don't have that yet. And I've been close. I've won division championship Russian titles but I play this game to win a championship and that's what I want to do. How is it different now than it was in your first couple of years in the national football league? The first couple of years you're trying to figure out what the NFL is about. How do you stay in this league? Because they always tell you NFL stands for not too long and you don't want to be going across the ticker. You don't want to ever get cut and I didn't want to disappoint my family. So I just I found a veteran stuck in his hip pocket and kind of learned the ropes and now it's I've been in his 10 years and now I'm the guy who's bringing the young kids along molding this and trying to be the foundation blocks in this team to win a championship. Who is that veteran that you stuck to your first couple of years? Chris Myers. I'm getting drafted to Houston. I'm playing in the center in college. He was a Pro Bowl center multiple years in Houston and just modeling his game because I started my first three years in the league at Guard and just being able to play beside him. How he ran his offense, how he inducted the meetings, how he lived his family life, everything I try to pull from him and then after him retiring I transitioned back to center and literally since then I've tried to model my game after him. I'd be a leader in the locker room and from having a family at home. Now when a young guy comes in, if they're smart, they'll attach themselves to a guy like you who's had some longevity and experience. What are you looking for in a young guy that you say that guy's got it? Yeah, you want a kid who's eager to learn and can do it day in and day out. You don't want a guy who just flashes. You want a guy who's gonna come out to work every day and try to get better because this is a long season. It's a long thing. Anybody can be good for a day. You got to stack days together day in and day out and you got to put these offensive lines not pretty. You can have 60 great plays and one bad play and you had a bad game. So it's about being consistent and doing it day in and day out. What can you do to try and increase your consistency I guess? What do you work on specifically to either get your body right or your mind right or some combination of both? Right, for me being consistent is making all the calls in the line, getting them out quick so everybody else don't have to think. My job is to get everybody set so we can go out there and not have to think about, hey, what's going on? I want to be crystal clear and guys can go out there and let it listen, have fun. Now let me throw a stat at you. The Tennessee Titans, as it stands right now, the offensive line is the fourth oldest line in the National Football League. Does that make you feel old personally? When I got here six years ago, I think we were the youngest. I was the oldest guy going into year five and now being 32 years old. I just think we're a little wiser. We know how to work. We know we got to earn it every day and we have a bunch of guys who are competing for that same goal. We want to win a championship.  So many people on this offensive line know each other, know the ins and outs because that chemistry is so important, right? Playing beside Roger and Nate now going on for three years. You build a bond. You kind of know where they're going to be, but you still got to earn it every day no matter our success over the past couple years. We want to be better. We want to be the Russian title. We're trying to win the championship. It's not just oh win the division, win home game. We want to take it all the way and we're just doing building blocks and as an older guy you're taking it one play at a time. See my pen? October is the NFL's crucial catch month. What does that mean? Well I sit down with music legend Cheryl Crowe to talk about it. A very important discussion up next on Titans All Access. Welcome back to Titans All Access in the Bet MGM studio and as you know October is breast cancer awareness month so the national football league is highlighting all types of cancer in their crucial catch games and this upcoming week happens to be the Titans crucial catch game and there's no better way to celebrate that than to have Cheryl Crowe as the Titans 12th Titan. Mike Keith had the chance to talk to her and have a very important conversation. Check this out. I want to go back to 2006. Here you are. You've won nine Grammys. You've sold 50 million records. Tuesday Night Music Club's one of my favorite albums ever. It's one of the most iconic albums of the 90s for sure. I mean you're on a roll and it's time for a mammogram.  Is that true? I did. I was going through some personal stuff. I didn't feel like stopping everything to go to just an appointment and it wasn't that I was worried about having breast cancer because I didn't have anybody in my family that had it. I was very fit at the time taking care of myself and I just didn't think I was a candidate for having a you know a diagnosis of something that could be life-threatening and and so I almost put it off. It was also Grammy's week and it just seemed like it's all it's just not good timing but I had seen my gynecologist earlier and she said look we don't put these things off because timing is everything.  I mean if if you think that you control everything in your life you are so wrong and it takes those moments where life comes kind of screeching to a halt to realize that there are some things that are just out of your control and you know early detection is our best weapon and that's really true across the board for all cancers. So personal when you go through something like this and you talk about it so openly is the early detection part of it now something you feel like is your mission to get across to people? Yeah I would not have chosen to be the poster child for for cancer you know there are lots of other things I'd rather draw attention to but this felt so immediate to me because and vital to me because when you get diagnosed with cancer or any life threatening illness it's not just you that gets diagnosed it's your it's your family it's your friend base you know it's your posse your tribe for me it was not just my family it was my whole work family everybody got put on hold and not only does that happen but it also brings mortality into the spectrum you know you start realizing well life is short and I am not invincible and it makes you look at things that not only hard to look at but that change the way you look at everything from that point on. So for me it was a blessing in disguise but at the same time not something I would ever recommend to have happened to anybody I know so yes go and get your mammograms don't put it off you know whatever your colonoscopies whatever whatever you are in the age bracket for getting tested for do it you know it is it is a hassle but it can be a game changer. You talked about how you're proud of your sons looking up to athletes I'm sure part of the reason you're diving into crucial catches you're supportive and proud of the national football league for choosing to do this early detection yes not just for breast cancer now but for all kinds of cancer. It's been incredible what the sports community has done and I love the fact that the Titans you know they're they're honoring breast cancer month and you know that may not resonate with everyone but I can guarantee you that you know somebody who has had breast cancer whether it's a sister a mom a cousin a daughter a friend it is everywhere and it is all around us and the fact that the NFL which is made up of predominantly men want to honor their mothers their sisters their cousins their wives by saying look this is something that we want to encourage everyone to be aware of that getting your yearly mammogram matters. Cheryl Crowe excited to see you at the ball game thank you thank you for everything that you're doing for crucial catching just remember most importantly tighten up. Yes tighten up. If you've ever seen Titans All Access you know that my favorite segment is Mike Keith's Keys but my second favorite segment well that's talking ball with general manager John Robinson presented by Duncan that's on the other side of this break. There have been some great goal line stands since Mike Vrable has been head coach of the Titans let's get coach Mack to break down the one against the Jaguars on Sunday. Fourth quarter score 31-19 Titans have got five up on the line of scrimmage man-to-man across the board watch when Trevor Lawrence starts to drop back sticks his foot in the ground starts over to his right nothing is there comes to his left Kevin Byer does a tremendous job as a post-safety looks at the quarterback now he takes the proper angle goes and makes a big time tackle this leads to the fourth and one fourth and a blade of grass watch Thierry Tart. Thierry Tart does a tremendous job of getting off on the football gets skinny for a big man explodes into the backfield forces the running back to go immediately lateral Chris Jackson makes a tremendous across the bow tackle and then here comes the Calvary everybody racing to the football this is as good a goal line defense as you're ever going to see in the national football league at a very critical point in this football game it's time to talk ball with general manager John Robinson presented by Duncan and let's start with offensive improvement at Jacksonville Titans much better job third down offense red zone offense at Jacksonville over what happened against the Jets what did you see in terms of that improvement well it was certainly a point of emphasis throughout the course of of the week you know offensively getting into drives staying into drives pushing the ball downfield converting on third down moving the line of scrimmage controlling the line of scrimmage and then when we got down to the red zone coming away with touchdowns it's so important and so pivotal you know certainly in those division matchups all right third down defense good at Jacksonville again third down defense is much improved over last year why do you think that is another point of emphasis in the off season and certainly through training camp in the first few weeks of the season here you know it's all about rushing coverage on on third down and you're not always going to rack up five or six sacks of games but if you can move that quarterback off the spot you know get him moving around in the pocket force an air and throw plaster coverage wise by the dbs you know gives us a really good chance to get off field on third down wide receiver Marcus Johnson comes off injured reserve three catches for 52 yards what does Marcus Johnson add to the Titans wide receiver core hey he's done a nice job you know he spent time on our practice squad a little bit last year he's got good size he's got good speed good route running ability contributes in the kicking game certainly came up with some big plays for us sunday into Jacksonville win turn to the Buffalo game for Monday night football bills are said to be a passing team and yet they're rushing for 140 yards per game how are they doing that good offensive line you know it all starts up front with those guys they played together for a long time now they know you know the nuances that each other bring to the to the game to the to their position groups they spread your out personnel wise a little bit to try to get a defender removed from the box Moss and Singletary both good backs and this Josh Allen is playing lights out he's certainly good throwing it but he's a problem in the run game tucking it and running okay so finally this is your fourth straight year to play Buffalo in October it's very strange schedule wise does it help your preparation that you have seen the meets of the last three years from a personnel familiarity standpoint it does Mike you know you you kind of know the skill sets the strengths and you know what weaknesses certain players might have you're familiar with them because there's you've seen them every single year there's not a ton of turnover roster wise year in and year out and they're a good football team they've added some pieces they've changed and added a few wrinkles into their offensive and defensive schemes and it's going to be a tough game John look forward to seeing you Monday night at East Sun Stadium yeah I'm excited Mike talking ball with John Robinson presented by Duncan every week on Titans all access Amy Wells rejoins me to continue the show right after this once again King Henry Reigns Supreme against his hometown team Dave McGinnis is back to look at his three touchdowns in Jacksonville the Uly Bulldozer this is the first of his three touchdowns watch the blocking up front as the ball is snapped Derek Henry takes one step to his right in an eye formation hooks his helmet right in the back of his full back blasts him into the end zone touchdown Titans the first of three for Derek Henry second touchdown coming up what's the guard in the tackle double team and move up to the second level Ben Jones does a tremendous job blocking back on number 90 the hole opens this is a massive massive hole untouched to the end zone this is a beautifully blocked play from five yard lines on end third and final touchdown for Derek Henry watch the get off and watch the knock back from the entire Titans offensive front Derek Henry's got a full head of steam going downhill third touchdown for the Titans this is a great example of the Tennessee Titans and their run game wearing an opponent down throughout the course of the ball game welcome back to Titans all access it's time for the best part of the show the highlight Mike Keith's keys Mike take it away all right flattery will get you everywhere by the way they really are they're great thank you so much you're on fire key number one against Buffalo it's about the Tennessee offense they've got to throw the football efficiently what does that mean complete a high percentage of passes don't drop the ball and have some good run after the catch Buffalo has an outstanding defense you've got to take advantage of your opportunities you can't miss completions you've got to stay on the field make things happen in the passing game in order to open up the running game that means you've got to throw the football efficiently all right what's key number two time of possession same sort of general premise if you throw the football efficiently and you run it you can keep it for 35 36 37 minutes which would be a great goal for the Tennessee offense because Buffalo's offense is so good you want to keep them off the field you help your own defense by winning time of possession if you're the Titans offense all right what's the final key the final key in the ball game is just understanding that Buffalo's offense is so explosive you cannot allow big plays this has been a huge problem for the Titans in the last two games they have got to make Buffalo drive the football it's something that we've seen from the Titans defense when they eliminate big plays when they make the opposition drive the football they have become very effective they cannot give Josh Allen the big plays in this game or it's going to be hard to beat the hottest team in the NFL the Buffalo builds they've outscored their last four opponents 156 to 41 all right so do everything right on offense and defense and you should probably be okay that's it all right just win the game there it is that's the key all right so we've got Monday night football we're on the air it's six central on Titans radio with Titans countdown coming up next week it's Kansas City and we will preview the chiefs from the bed MGM studio as we get you ready for the Titans and Kansas City that's next week on Titans all access for AB Wells I'm Mike Keith thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time


Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Brithodoxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Guy Hallingworth Burgundy Monogram deck. What's a monogram?  It's also an ambigram so it's also GH when you flip it upside down, which helps when you have a two-way back design, which of course you would want as a magician so it doesn't look a little tricky. If you don't know who Guy Hallingworth is, how do you not know who Guy Hallingworth is? He's only one of the coolest magicians in the world. He's based out of London. He did that DVD, the London collection. He did drawing and deception. Those are two of his biggest ones. Like I said, this deck is released from Dan and Dave. They're both huge Guy Hallingworth fans and originally this deck was released in green last year and it came out with a Guy Hallingworth DVD set and the only way you could get the green deck was if you bought the set. Well now they've released the same deck of cards in Burgundy and you can buy them in individual decks and so that kind of makes it cool for the rest of us that don't have a lot of money. The tuck case is Burgundy and it's done in a matte finish with embossing and gold foil. Like I said, they've got the ambigram signature there on the front. It says Guy Hallingworth on one side and playing cards on the other. The bottom has some ad copy about Dan and Dave. The top has Guy Hallingworth's initials again and the back design is a repeated image of the back design of the playing cards. Way down here it also says made in the USA and you can see that there's no tuck seal which is really nice especially on these matte decks where tuck seals could really tear the finish on this and then you'll see the inside of the tuck is also lined in that Burgundy matte as well. So that is pretty much it for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards. These cards were printed from the United States Playing Card Company and they do come on their micro thinnest retail stock. Now normally retail stock is thin. Dan and Dave say they've gotten the retail stock to be even thinner on these. They say it's about eight cards thinner than a standard retail deck so we'll leave that up to you to decide. They also have a modern cut and air cushion finish and if you'd like to learn more about stock cut or finish you can click the link below in the description. The back design of course is Guy Hallingworth's initials there in the center done on a giant field of burgundy and you can see the pattern goes all the way to the edges so it's a casino back design which is really good for things like second deals and casino routines. Sometimes it's called a full bleed when the color gets pushed all the way to the edges. It's also noted that way in the background that is not just some random image it's still the GH the Guy Hallingworth logo repeated way back there in the background. With this deck you're going to get two gaffes you're going to get a double backer which is great for a lot of cool magic tricks. The other thing you're going to get is you're going to get the Guy Hallingworth quartet gaff card. Why is it called a quartet? Well it's called quartet because you have four kings. You have the king of spades, you have the king of clubs, you have the king of diamonds and you have the king of hearts and if you want to learn how to use this you can buy Guy Hallingworth's book called quartet where you'll learn a lot of really cool tricks including Guy's twist in the aces which has a really killer ending. Also with this deck you get two full-sized jokers. It's a man wearing suit and tails which is kind of how Guy Hallingworth performs and behind his back he is palming an ace. The ace of spades is the Guy Hallingworth initials and it says Hallingworth down there at the bottom. The pips and indices cards are all completely redone. You'll see the font in the corner is more of a stylistic more modern look. Very classy this deck has a real touch of elegance to it. It looks rich very similar to the setting that Guy does a lot of his magic in probably even the people that he performs for. You'll also notice that the quartets are standard but if I can get the little gold to shimmer for you they're also accented with gold foil. That is it for the Guy Hallingworth monogram a deck and if you'd like to purchase your own you can find it at danandave.com. As always recommend that you like this video just so other people can find it faster. We also recommend that you subscribe to this channel just to stay up to date on the latest cards and card magic and if you want to follow me on social media you should.

You must have guidance. If you're doing something that is near impossible, you must have guidance. How many of us know a single NBA player that got to the NBA without guidance? Without a coach, without a dad that's a coach, without a dad that's an NBA player? How many of those NBA players got to that level, to that apex of superiority of excellence without guidance? How many Olympic athletes do you know? One Olympic medal without an Olympic coach? We just had the Olympics, right? How many people do you know? How many just even one? How many athletes didn't have a coach? Even if it wasn't even an Olympic coach, even if just how many people just didn't have any coach? I don't know a single coach in this industry, in my industry, and this is the weird thing. I don't know a single coach that came from where I came from that got good without his own coach. That's the weird thing. And my coaches have actually been on the stage. And my coaches have been the guy speaking here when I was in your spot and I was looking at them saying, wow, I could never be there. I could never get to where that guy's going. I could never achieve that. Everyone has their own coach when they're successful. I have my own coaches. Today, I have my own coaches. Robbie has his own coaches. Your coaches have their own coaches. So what that tells you is if you're the guy who doesn't have your own coach, what does that tell you about your shot at getting good at this? What does that tell you about the 95-5? If the rest of the people in that 5% have their own coaches, what does that tell you? Where does that place you? For most of the people, it places them in at 95%. The reason I bring this up is because I didn't always know this. The reason I bring this up is because for a long time, I thought I was too good for that. Not just in dating, but in general. For the longest time, I avoided hiring a business coach because I thought I'll just make it in hard work. I'll make it because I have loyal students. I'll make it because I'll figure it out. I did the same thing. I did the same thing in a lot of different areas in my life. A lot of areas I didn't invest in myself and as a result, I paid the price for it. So when I finally came to my senses and I realized what was happening, the first thing I did is everything that I wanted to be successful in, I got guidance. Whether it was a coach, whether it was a friend or a family friend that really knew what they were doing, I got a coach. I got some sort of guidance to help me through that on anything that I wanted to excel in. And that's why today I have coaches. I probably have more personal coaches than anyone else in this room today right now on everything that I want to get good at. I don't even want to be a pro photographer, yet I have a photography coach. Because you know why? My entire career in the Marine Corps, I have zero pictures. I have no pictures because I didn't want to buy a camera or hire a coach. So I didn't know what to take pictures. So I look back and it's like I didn't even exist in the Marine Corps. I have no pictures aside from a few that friends took. I can't go back and change that. I can't go back and turn back time and say, well now I'm smarter than that and I want to go create those memories again so I have them. So I can show my kids those things. So I can show my grandkids about my time in the Marine Corps. I can't do that. And so I made a choice that from that point on, if I want to get good at something, I'm going to have guidance. I'm going to go out and get guidance or get a coach to do that. You're trying to do the impossible, gentlemen, a lot of you. I know that because I was trying to do the impossible.   And against those odds, you better do everything in your power to make sure that you're as close as you can get to being in that 5%. And you know what? It still might not work. You still might be in that 94%. You still might be there, but at least you've got a fighting chance.  There's a couple of people that are working harder than me. In this room, in this city, in this layer, in this group, in this organization, there's a few people that are working harder than me. Then guess what? Then that guy's going to be in that 5% and you're not. You're going to be in the 95%. Finally, lesson seven. You must be willing to change, grow, and adapt. Most people in this world are not willing to change. Our most basic, fundamental human emotion, the thing that we want the most, the thing, our most basic human instinct is to do what's not easy, familiar. A lot of people think that our basic instinct is to survive or to replicate or to do something to achieve some goal. It's not. It's to do what's familiar. Everything else being equal, we will always do what is familiar. Why do you think Columbia was scary? Would Columbia be scarier if I lived in Columbia? Absolutely not. Why? Does it make the country any less dangerous? No? Not really. I mean, maybe okay, maybe I can speak the language now. But aside from that, let's say I lived in Brazil where I spoke Portuguese. Would that make Columbia any less dangerous? Not really. So why is it? Because of familiarity. Because I wasn't familiar with that country, with that location. And therefore, I was uncomfortable with it. Most people, gentlemen, as much as we all want to believe that yes, I want to change, I want to grow, I want to adapt, most of us don't. Most of us don't. By raw human instinct, we actually don't want to change. We don't want to grow. And you have to fight that instinct every waking moment. Because if you don't, it'll take over. And when it takes over, you are right back in that 95%. That's why everyone's there. Because most people aren't willing to wake up every day and fight that instinct. That fight that instinct to not want to change, to not want to grow, to not want to adapt. Because it's hard. It's hard. It's scary. There's a lot of anxiety about it. The whole nine yards. That's why in this industry, we hear things like, oh, that's not me. I don't want to do that, that's not me.  The rock group. Just go out like kiss from that one. Or go out like a hipster.  I don't care what it is.  You're extremely uncomfortable. The opposite of what you're doing.  Go out with something that you're completely unfamiliar with. The vast majority of the responses I'm gonna get is gonna sound something like, it isn't me. Oh, that's not me. That's not me. What that means is a resistance to change to growth, to adaptation. Most people don't want to experiment. The whole concept of that isn't me. Are you defined by the mohawk? I'm obviously not.  Are you defined by the music you listen to? Are you defined by the shoes you wear?  You're not defined by the things that you wear. You're not even defined by the hobbies that you have. You're not even defined by what you look like. You're defined by something that doesn't change. And that has nothing to do with what you wear, what you look like, what you like to do on the weekends, or what music you listen to. Therefore, when someone says that isn't me, that's not actually true. Because what really is you can't be changed. It is the intrinsic you. That can't be changed. Everything else on top of that is merely superficiality. Things that you wear, you can change that.  Why can't people like me for me? Why do I have to change? Why can't people just like me for me? And I ask, well, when you go to a job interview, do you wear shorts and a t-shirt? Because I'm a pretty casual guy. I like wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Should I go to a job interview? Wearing shorts and a t-shirt. That's me, right? No, it's not me. I am not defined by my clothes. I am not defined by those external things. That isn't him, and that isn't you.

The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has been holding public hearings across the state regarding that line three pipeline project and the next meeting is scheduled to be held in Bemidji next Tuesday. There'll be two separate public meetings held at the Sanford Center Ballroom. The commission relies on public participation in making sitting and routing decisions while this has been a contentious issue. The previous meetings that have been held in Bemidji have been peaceful and the Bemidji Police Department is hopeful that this final meeting will be the same way. For the most part all the meetings we've had in Bemidji have been peaceful and no arrests have been made and that's the way we would like to keep it. We don't want to hinder anyone's ability to express their first amendment right but we would ask people to you know be sure their conduct is proper and that they're respectful of others. The two public hearings will be held from one until 4 p.m. then again from 6 until 9 p.m. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland news please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.


We all agree on the 97% of things that the ADA wants to do, but we get so bogged down on the 3% that we don't agree on. And I just thought back to Pastor Branson at my church, and I said, that's exactly, that's exactly the message that I'm getting from spirituality, and that is exactly the truth. It goes to dentistry and so many other things in life. It could probably be applied to our politicians, not that I want to get into that today. But if we just sit down and take a step back...

A study analyzed the cost effectiveness of using quadrivalent influenza vaccine, QIV, vs. trivalent influenza vaccine, TIV, as a vaccination strategy in Taiwan, and found that QIV would bring an additional 10,557 quality adjusted life years at an extra cost of US$9.4 million, yielding an ICER of US, Bin, Shizirou 15 per QALY gained. The study used a lifetime multi-cohort, static mark-off model with nine age groups and direct costs obtained from a database released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Results showed that QIV could be considered as a cost-effective strategy within the context of public health in Taiwan. This article was authored by Ming Chenyang, Elise Kiyohui Tan, NGNG-SU.

Welcome to the Citadel of Candlekeep. This massive library is where the most brilliant scholars convene to share their collective knowledge.  Very well. Listen closely as I recount your magnificent adventures through Candlekeep's mysteries. The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces This tale begins with a small settlement. Crop yields have been low, livestock are unmoving, and not a drop of rain has touched its soil in some time. The local mage had determined that the land is stricken with a curse. Perhaps seeking Metreus, a sage at Candlekeep, would alleviate the pain these lands have suffered. After a few days' journey, you find yourself here, outside the Citadel's massive walls. You gain entry to the Citadel and begin your search for the sage. The scholars that inhabit these walls lead you to the room where Metreus would be staying at. Entering the doors, you find the room empty, minus some books and trinkets. On the table is a book, open to a page with texts that are a bit difficult to understand. Closely studying these pages, you decipher the words, scepter, and utter it to yourself in a low tone. As the words escape your lip, a magical doorway appears before you. It begins to slowly fade with each sound. Letting curiosity get the better of you, you step through the veil of magic. Behind you, where the magical door once stood, is now just a plain, if not grand, double door. The ceiling arches to 15 feet overhead, and long hallways stretch out on either side of the foyer. Standing in the middle of this area is a middle-aged man, wearing gray robes. Startled by your sudden appearance, he recollects himself and extends a polite introduction. He is Metreus, and you've just stepped across the portal into a mansion of magic. The eccentric man thanks you for opening the portal. He has been attempting to find the command word that opens the portal for the better part of an hour. You tell him of the town in need of his aid, and he ponders to think. The sage tells you that he'd be willing to help you if you are willing to help him explore this mansion, for he has the skills to keep the portal open. It is full of wonder and magic, and as an example, he produces a statue of an imp. Almost too likely to be anything but startling. Understanding the gravity of your quest, he suggests that the two of you head back to the town. As he steps through the doors you entered from, you hear a shriek, followed by the doors locking itself behind him. Left to your own devices, you must find your way out of this creepy mansion. You step down the hall into the first room in sight to find a study of sorts. The entire far wall of this room is a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf. Even more books are resting on several large scarlet armchairs and small wooden tables, and there are several paintings on the wall. A fluffy black cat is curled up on one of the chairs. The curious cat approaches you, and you give it a soft stroke before going about your business. You investigate the room, and you find that the study is filled with books written by someone named Fistandia. Reading the books, you learn that Fistandia was a mage and priest of Mistra. She had traveled to Cantalquip to further her studies and expanded the Citadel's knowledge of magic. In return, the mage was granted a permanent extra-dimensional mansion to stay at when studying at Cantalquip. Worrying that one may be stuck in the mansion, she hid a secret command word hidden on the spines of seven books across her mansion. Within her studies, you find one of these books with the letter I on its spine. Quite a mystery to be had, and now you know the method in which to escape. You find on the bookshelf a secret lever in the form of a book, and you pull it to reveal a secret path. Heading down the path, it leads to some stairs into the basement of the mansion. In the basement, you find three rooms. The first room is an alchemical laboratory where you find various statuettes of winged-alike creatures. A bit of investigation reveals that the goal of the research here was to transmute various materials into gold in that the statues were used to create homunculi. Propped up against a beaker is a book with the letter B on its spine.  The summoning room contains a strange drawing on the floor along with a closet that attacks you when you enter. The menagerie room has containers of various specimens along with an empty container with the lid pried open. Satisfied with your exploration of the basement, you make your way back up to the hidden room to the ground floor. From here, you find five additional rooms along with some stairs. The first room is an exercise room with an animated broom sweeping its floor. The second is an arboretum with some mischievous fairy dragons that play some light pranks on you as you enter. The third room is a dining hall containing a mimic disguised as a chair that attacks you when you enter. The fourth room is a library. This library contains walls and stacks of books that line the room. When investigating the library, a swarm of book rise from the stack and attacks you. After defeating this swarm, you find shelves containing Vastania's favorite subjects, arcane, natural science, religion, astrology, planar travels, and the such. Along with that are some books on poetry, mythology, and folklore. These are certainly recreational topics. On closer inspection of the shelves, you notice a book with the letter R written on its spine. You exit the library and enter the fifth room where you find a kitchen occupied by two homunculi. They introduce themselves as Cumin and Coriander. They eagerly rush to aid you as guests. You question the homunculi who tell you that Cumin was created by Vastania and Coriander was created by a person named Freyja. Their masters have disappeared long ago. Vastania went to the planetarium and disappeared while the whereabouts of Freyja is unknown. They also inform you that an imp was summoned by Vastania but went missing shortly after. In the corner of the room is a pile of cats, all crowded together near bowls of food. It is clear that these homunculi have been serving the cats exclusively due to the lack of guests. Thanking them for their service, you exit the kitchen and make your way up the stairs. To the left of you, as you enter the upper floor, you find a room containing another laboratory. Most of this room is taken up by long wooden tables that are covered with thick glass vessels and books. Just below the ceiling, in the middle of the room, colorful globes circle one another in an intricate dance. The far wall is almost completely covered by a map of the night sky with a golden sunburst in the center above a closed door. The map is littered with dots and circles with the exception of five stars depicted as bright silver suns. In the center of the room is another book with the letter T inscribed on its spine. You enter the door underneath the map that leads into a dark room. The room contains a view of the starry firmament of the night sky. Five telescopes mounted on bronze plates point towards the constellation above. In the middle of the space, a one foot diameter sphere of crystal clear sits in a circular brass stand. It is difficult to see in the dark room minus the telescopes that occupy the area. Aligning the orientation of the telescopes to the stars of bright silver found in the previous room reveals a door to a chained library. When investigating the chained library, it comes to life and attacks you. These must be Fastandia's truly treasured tomes. After defeating it, you find another book labeled L on its spine. Traveling across the hall of the stairway, you find a trophy room in a bedroom both littered with cats at every step. Two books are found here that are labeled Y and E on their respective spines. With all the books gathered, you make your way to the ground floor back to the double doors and unscramble the seven letters. After a bit of time, you decipher the word to be liberty and utter the command word. The door swings open and you step through to find yourself back at Candlekeep in Matraeus studies. On the floor is the sage's body, murdered by whatever attacked him. You have little time to mourn for as soon as you enter the room, an imp in the corner attacks you. Slaying the creature, you gather that the imp statue must have been the culprit. What will you do now that Matraeus is dead? Additionally, who are Fastandia and Freya? These questions are for another story at another time.

And this was while you were in a relationship with this person and you wrote about this in your book, Somebody's Daughter, an incredible book that the reviews and everything speak for itself, but I just wanna add my kudos and my just prayer hands up to you for that piece of beautiful literature that just said so many things, especially in the realm of intimacy in ways that I didn't know that I personally needed and I learned so much from it. I know that it wasn't meant to be an educational book, but just your wisdom and your grace is abundant. And that are the two words that I would definitely use for how you dealt with this scenario that for many people would shatter them. It's the kind of story that you hear about in soap operas and that you read about in the tabloids, but it's your lived experience and I just wanted to really just dive into it because again, like I said, it was a beautiful story, it was a love story. That's how I would describe it that way. Would you describe it that way? I would describe it that way, Shan. And just to give you a little bit of background on the relationship, Brett and I met when I was 11. We were very fast best friends even though I did not like him before I'd even met him because I heard his name with a loud speaker, a lot being announced for awards and perfect attendance and honor society. And I was like, corn ball, hope I never meet that kid. And then I did and realized that while he was very, very good at having that sort of very mature, very respectful way about him at school, that was not necessarily who he was at all. And he was a lot of fun. And we started dating when we were 14. Well, I was 14 and he was 15. And we did not break up until I was 20.  And you know, through all of that, I loved him. I still love him. And that relationship was probably the basis of my self-esteem in relationships. My grandma used to tell me, he's spoiling you. And when you get out into the real world and start dating real men, nobody is gonna treat you like that. Nobody is gonna be that kind to you. And I'm really glad she was wrong. The way that you tell your story in that completely, it's still human and it's raw and it's imperfect, but at the same time, like you're almost there reprising yourself, right? Like you're almost giving the other side the other perspective to it. So I wanna walk through the stages of that because that's a long time to be in love with somebody and to have a beautiful connection with them and then to find out something that for many people could be devastating. Were you blindsided by him coming out to you? Not at all, no. I suspected for a long time, but when he told me that he wasn't, I just believed him. He showed up in my life. He showed up for me. He was a beautiful partner. He was a wonderful friend. So I was like, I'm just gonna believe him. I'm just gonna be on his side. I'm not gonna hold him to certain standards of masculinity or anything like that because those things just aren't really conflated. I knew even then as a young person that someone who might be a little more feminine, a little more sensitive, a little more whatever was not necessarily gay. So even though something inside me was telling me like, something's not exactly right, I just continued to believe that if he was, he would tell me. And eventually we had a conversation where he said, I think I'm bisexual and thought that was fine. I thought that was totally okay. I didn't really have a problem with that. I didn't find that devastating. And when he told me he was gay, I didn't feel devastated, but I did feel a grief in a mourning because it was very clear that the way our relationship had existed up until that point was not an option. And that is, to me, the coolest thing about the way that you described your reaction because a lot of people can immediately turn to, you've been lying to me this entire time. You've, I've asked you, you didn't tell me back then. You know, why couldn't you trust me? And you didn't do that. Can you walk me through, when you are experiencing this, what are the various ways that your ego is showing up or that your insecurities are showing up? And then, and how did you not respond with those leading the way in the moment? Well, there was anger. I don't wanna pretend that I was just like, oh cool, that's fine. We'll just transition into a new kind of relationship and it doesn't matter, who cares? That was not reality. I was angry. I was very angry and I was very hurt and I did feel betrayed in a certain way and all of my insecurities started to come up. I mean, I'm literally a darker skin, black woman who is not and has never been particularly skinny. I've been thinner, but I've never been skinny. I have a deeper voice. When the first time I answered the phone and somebody thought that I was my brother, I started wearing earrings constantly so that people would know I was a woman and that they would know I was a girl. I thought people might be mistaken about it out in the world. So to have my partner who was validating my femininity, my sensuality, all of those things, my sexy say that like actually they weren't attracted to women made me wonder, okay then why were you attracted to me? What was it about me that peaked your interest when you're not attracted to women and that was really hard for me to reconcile. But in that moment when he told me, this is still my best friend and I'm looking at him.  And in that moment, even though I wanted maybe to yell or scream or cry or kick him out or whatever, the only thing that I could think to say was I'm so sorry that it was this hard for you to tell me this. And I'm so sorry about how confusing and complicated this reality makes your life now.   And so as a result, I believe that it takes a really long time to get the courage to even look at yourself and find that word for yourself. And usually through that process of figuring out who you are, it's easier to look outward and say who people are not. So what I mean by that, it would be easier for him to say, oh, my girlfriend is the problem. And or to make comments about your appearance or to make you feel like you're less desirable, to do that to you because it's so much more difficult to look at yourself. Was that your experience at all with Brett? No, thank goodness. No, I have friends who have had that experience. I've spoken to other women who have had that experience. That was not my experience with Brett. Brett was very clear. When we had some of those bigger conversations that the problem was never attraction that he loved me.  Like there was no faking, but it was confusing for him that his body reacted to me. And his heart and his brain thought of me a different way. And he didn't know how to deal with that. He didn't know what that was. And I definitely understand that now as somebody who is openly queer because I had had feelings and I had had sensations about other people. And I define them differently.  I love Brett and I love being intimate with him and I love all of those things. And I didn't know that a person is not a sexuality. We didn't get raised with that kind of knowledge that you could be physically attracted to a person or your body could respond to a person. And that didn't necessarily mean that that was where your sexuality lies. And so his coming out actually ended up helping me think of my body differently, think of my sexuality differently, to own it differently. At that point, he was my first and only sexual experience. So us breaking up was me getting really the chance to figure out what I even liked and who I was and not have my sexuality be based around the validity or the longevity of my relationship.  Why was that symbolic or why was that important? You know, I think at the time it was sort of a desperate act for both of us. It was an act to attempt to figure out, like was this real? Because when things change very suddenly, when things change in a way that you realize they can't go back to before, I think a lot of people start to wonder, was the before even real? Did it really happen? Was there something I missed? And in this moment of returning to this intimate act with each other, it was almost like just checking, just making sure that this is the case, making sure that this is the way this is gonna work now and that I, because you're here gay and then you're like, wait, especially at that time in my life at 20, it was like, wait, wait. But we just had a whole thing. We just did a whole thing. Wasn't that real? Wasn't that something? We said so many things to each other. We wanted so many of the same things. Wasn't that real?  It was real. It was here and it's not here anymore. So now what have you got to do? Thank you for listening to that beautiful video.

Investigators found in one particular case a male who was trafficked from Eritrea was actually held to ransom and investigators were not only to able to identify who had kidnapped the man but also were able to retrieve $20,000 in cash that had been extorted from his relatives in an attempt to obtain his release. So again another particularly nasty episode and shows just how vulnerable people who are in human trafficking networks can be.

Welcome to Esoteric Atlanta, my name is Bryce and today we're going to talk about Black Eyed Kids. I'm going to be completely honest with you, this was not the story that I was going to give you today. I took a slight turn in my story for you today because yesterday I had the privilege of being on David Zublick's channel to discuss with him the RH negative blood group and its possible connection to the draconian people. Now I will link David's channel below and I will air that episode here on our channel once it's available. So having that deep conversation with David yesterday got me really thinking about everything I have experienced which we did talk about in our RH negative video, again I'll link below. And what it means to carry this particular bloodline that has so much mystery around it. We obviously discussed certain videotape and footage of people, especially people in powerful positions in the world who tend to have the ability, according to this alleged footage, to shape shift. We also see in a lot of the footage, especially a picture of Queen Elizabeth II, that sometimes something happens to their eyes. Now with Queen Elizabeth's picture, her eye appears to be black. And as I was laying in bed early this morning, I could not stop thinking about the connection between the RH negative blood group and the possibility of the reality of there being a being, a beast, a demon, whatever you want to call it, called a black-eyed kid. Now the first time I ever heard of black-eyed kids was in one of my favorite podcasts and this was a few years ago. And this is the podcast Murder Myth Mystery. Now I have spoken about this podcast before and I will link to their website below. And I have to admit when I first heard of black-eyed kids, it terrified me. So what are black-eyed kids? Well, black-eyed kids are beings that appear to be children and they usually come in pairs of two. These children can be in between the ages of five and 16 years old. Now they're usually seen either hitchhiking for rides or panhandling or will show up at your door in the middle of the night. These children are typically dressed in modern-day hoodies and jeans.  Now for people who've experienced these black-eyed kids, they all say that right before they come into contact with the children, they get this horrible feeling. Now after they've opened their door to the banging on the door or their car door and again the child is being very forceful and asking to use their phone or come in, it is usually at that moment that the person coming into contact with the child will notice that their whole eye is black. Now I'm talking about everything, no iris, nothing, all black. What is also apparent about these children is that they cannot come into your house unless you grant them permission. They also cannot come into your car or come into anything that is within your space unless you give them permission to do so. And for a lot of people when they recounted their stories, they say that when they put their foot down and say no, that is when the child starts to act crazy and demand to come inside. Now a lot of people believe that the black-eyed kid is a new phenomenon, a new paranormal phenomenon from the modern ages. In fact it was in 1996 that a journalist from Texas named Brian Bethel recorded his interactions with two black-eyed kids. You see again this was 1996, we didn't have cell phones then, the internet was very new and so for young people watching this, what Brian did that night was he drove to the actual internet service to pay his bill. Now again this was between 9.30 and 10.30 in the evening and so he was going to write a check and put the check in the drop box for his account. Super common thing to do back in the 90s. Now when Brian pulled up in front of the internet business, he stopped his car, got his checkbook out, there was a movie theater across the road. Now at this time the movie theater was playing the movie Mortal Kombat. So as Brian was writing the check he heard a knock at his window. When he looked up he saw two boys between the ages of 9 and 12. He slowly rolled the window down and both boys told him that they wanted to watch the movie Mortal Kombat. However when they got to the theater they realized they didn't have money and they needed Brian to drive the boys back to their mother's house so they could pick up some money. Brian says that he felt extremely uneasy however he went to open up his car door to help these two children who were in danger and that is when he noticed that both of them had completely black eyes.  When he turned around to look out the rear view window he noticed that the boys were gone. After telling a few friends about his experience his story started to go viral. Now of course in the 90s we didn't have that word viral but that's what happened. And then in 2014 another black-eyed kid phenomenon happened in Stratfordshire, England. Now this is super interesting because Stratfordshire seems to be a bit of a vortex for black-eyed kids. In fact I will link a website below with a ton of testimony from citizens in Stratfordshire who have experienced these black-eyed kids but one in particular caught my attention. It seems that around this time in 2014 a woman and her child were out walking in the fields just enjoying nature.  They ran in the direction of the scream and they saw a little girl standing there who appeared to be six years old. They got to the child to see what the matter was. The little girl looked at them with black eyes and turned and ran away. Now the real peculiar thing is that it seems that this black-eyed child, this six-year-old child had been around in 1980 as well. She never aged. She had stayed six. The person telling this story is quick to say that no, this child was not a ghost. It wasn't like she was seeing an apparition which would make more logical sense. This was a child of flesh and bone. In fact, if you just do a quick Google search of black-eyed kids you will see people having crazy experiences all over the world. It doesn't matter if you're in America or Europe or Africa or Asia. There are people who have seen these entities and all of them have had the exact same experience. Now a lot of people believe that the story of black-eyed kids is what is called creepypasta. Creepypasta is a term for a story that's kind of like an urban legend. It's like an internet urban legend. They claim that people are taking this paranormal story meant to scare people, copy and pasting it, and putting it out all over the internet. And granted, it might be creepypasta. However, I have my doubts. I've had a lot of paranormal experiences. We've talked about that on this channel. I understand that there is more happening in our reality than we are aware of. So if my suspicions are correct and this is real, then there has to be a history of this being. This being probably has been around a lot longer than 1996. So I started to dig a little bit. And what I found confirmed what I believe. Now in the RH negative video, we talked a lot about the book of Enoch and the Sumerians and how they were aware that there was a being that came down from the heavens. Whether that be a fallen angel or an alien who knows, this being came down and mated with human women. This apparently is what created the RH negative bloodline, which again is the bloodline of our dynastical families as well as all of our presidents and a lot of our celebrities. So as I started researching black-eyed children, I found a legend that says a bit of the same thing. Except for this legend comes from the Iroquois Native Americans. Now the Iroquois Native Americans was a Native American Federation in the northeast area of the United States. Now the Iroquois believed in basically the same thing as most of our religions and spiritual practices, that there is good and there is bad. There is a light energy. There is a dark energy. There is God. There is the devil. It's all the same thing. Now the Iroquois spoke about this dark force that would come and possess their people. They called this force Atkan. Now I hope I'm saying that right. If I'm not saying that right, please let me know down in the comments below. But the Atkan was a dark energy. Now get this. The Atkan was also described as being a reptilian like being or a snake man. And you can see this in a lot of their artwork. Now the Iroquois believed that the Atkan could possess children and could potentially mate with human women, a bit like the book of Enoch.  They believed at that point the Atkan had attacked the child and stolen the child's soul only to replace the child's body with the dark presence of the Atkan. Children who became possessed by Atkan and had the dark eyes ended up being hungry for human flesh. Very similar to a lot of the cannibalistic alleged behavior of our global elite, aka Anthony Wiener's laptop. If you don't understand that reference, again, I will attach that video below as well. Now the Iroquois also again believed that the Atkan could mate with human females from their federation. Now they also believed that when the Atkan mated with these women that the women weren't doing this out of their own free will, again a bit like the book of Enoch. The Atkan would hypnotize the woman and force her to mate with him. When the woman became pregnant, usually the baby was born with black eyes. Now because of the fear that the Iroquois had regarding the power of the Atkan after the baby was born and its eyes were revealed to be black, they usually would kill the baby and then burn the baby so that the baby could not be resurrected. So did the Iroquois know something about these black-eyed kids that we don't know? Is there a hidden knowledge behind the black-eyed kids that's a bit like the reptilian families of Europe? And for naysayers that believe this is completely bunk, how many coincidences do there have to be before it becomes mathematically impossible to be a coincidence? You can't tell me that over in the Middle East they were writing the book of Enoch about fallen angels mating with human beings while over in the Americas the Iroquois were saying the exact same thing. What truth did our ancestors know about the reality of life that has been stripped and taken from us? Now in my conversation with David yesterday towards the end of the conversation we did touch a little bit on Native Americans. Because you see for me as a person of European descent all I know is about the RH negative bloodline from my own heritage. All I know is my own experiences that cannot be explained by modern day science. But it does seem that not just with the Iroquois but with a lot of the Native American people they carried the same legends. So riddle me this skeptics. If it's all nonsense how come humanities ancestors have the same stories? Ancestors that didn't even know of each other's existence. Now I'm planning on continuing more conversations with David so hopefully we can dive a little bit deeper into this as time goes on. But for those of you out there who are maybe a little bit afraid of black-eyed kids I will say this. It is more likely to experience a black-eyed kid in the suburbs. They don't tend to come to the cities. With that being said that's just a general rule doesn't mean they aren't in the cities. But you are more likely to experience them where there's less people around. And as I myself live right in the middle of a city if you go to the suburbs or a small town there's also less lighting. Less ways of being discovered for what or who they really are. It appears that these children are not children. Maybe at one point they were. Maybe they were children of the past who got possessed by a dark entity and they stopped growing. They were kept at their age the physical age in order to do whatever damage they're here to do. Because you see the darkness knows that for the most part humanity is good. And since the beginning of time the darkness has been trying to claim whatever soul they can from the positive. Now for humanity to see a child in need most people will react. Most adult humans would bring a child in need into their home in a heartbeat. However if your gut is telling you something is wrong. Or if the beings tend to have completely black eyes. My advice to you is to shut the door. Don't let them in. They are not children anymore. Alright guys thanks so much for joining me today. The original story I was going to bring to you today I will bring you later in the week because it's quite fascinating. Let me know have you ever experienced a black-eyed kid? Have you heard of someone who has? I am aware there's also white-eyed kids as well but I don't know much about those. So if you know about those let me know because I would love to know about those children too. Alright thank you to Josh McKay for doing our music and to Todd Roderick for helping me edit. Again a link to David's channel will be listed below and I will see you guys soon. Bye.


exchange traded funds, also known as ETFs. These are one of my favorite ways in the stock market to diversify my money. And with ETFs, you guys, you can take so many advantages here in the stock market by simply owning one single fund. You can diversify across many different assets, many different industries, and get a dividend paid to you by these funds. And you can reinvest that dividend and get more capital out of the investment in years to come. These offer so many opportunities. And in this video, today's video, the video you are watching, we're going to be talking about two ETFs in particular that I personally love and own in the year of 2019. And I plan on owning these for years to come. So what is an exchange traded fund? For those of you guys that may have zero idea, Investopedia.com is one of my favorite resources here. And we can see an exchange traded fund is a collection of securities such as stocks that track an underlying index. The best known example is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF SPY, also known as SPY, which tracks the S&P 500 index. ETFs can contain many types of investments, including stocks, commodities, bonds, or a mixture of investment types. An exchange traded fund is a marketable security, meaning it has an associated price that allows it to be easily bought and sold. In other words, it is very, very liquid. So all you need to know is an ETF.  It's literally one fund. It's like buying a stock on its own. You literally buy one thing. You can buy multiple shares of this one thing, and it provides you so many assets in different industries, pretty much giving you a ton of diversification by owning one fund. Beautiful thing, right? So let's just hop into two, and you guys could probably see them already if you're looking at the top of my tabs. But if you are, you're cheating because you got a way to like present it here, guys. Noble NOBL, that is the number one ETF that I wanted to talk about, and that I personally like, and I own in my portfolio. And like I said, in the definition of exchange traded funds, these ETFs, they track an index. And you can see Noble NOBL, the index that tracks is the S&P 500 dividend aristocrats. And this has outperformed the S&P 500 with lower volatility since its inception, which is pretty awesome. And another thing you want to notice here is this is the dividend aristocrats ETF, aristocrats, meaning these companies have increased their dividends for 25 plus years. So every stock that you're going to see here in the holdings of this ETF, which is super important, you need to analyze and just take a look at the companies owned. You know, these have increased their dividends for 25 plus years. You guys can see it as the first bullet, the only ETF that focuses exclusively on companies in the S&P 500 that have grown dividends for at least 25 consecutive years. So just take a look at these companies, guys. They are world-class companies. You know a lot of these, right? You know a lot of these companies. You have Kimberly Clark, Chubb, Abbott, Procter and Gamble, Target, Coca-Cola, Colgate-Paul-Milev, Walmart, you know, Pormel Foods, McDonald's, PepsiCo, McCormick & Company, you know, Sherman Williams, Cisco, Clorox, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Abbey and the list goes on, right? Walgreens, Caterpillar, you have 3M here at the bottom, Exxon, Lowe's, Leggett & Platt. These are companies that have just steadily increased their dividends. So if you are one of those investors that holds very long-term and you know that during a recession, which does happen, you know, stock prices go down, but you like having stocks that raise their dividends to provide more cash flow through that downtime, you know, this could be an investment for you, but please do your own research. Do not just listen to me. I am not a financial advisor by any means. I'm just some guy on YouTube giving his opinion. You need to understand these on your own before hopping in and buying it for yourself, right? That's the most important thing. So that's just the list of companies on this one, NOBL Distributions. Let's take a look at some dividends it has paid over the past couple of months, right, in years. You can see on the 27th of March, it paid a 24 cent dividend. And over time, guys, the important thing, although the dividends are fluctuating heavily here, the most important thing is that they are increasing over time. And the awesome thing about these funds is, guys, they are managed, right? And if one of these companies, let's say they cut their dividend and they're no longer considered a dividend aristocrat, that company will just be replaced by another company or just taken off the ETF, which is a very awesome thing. But with that management, you need to be paying a fee for owning these ETFs. And I'm trying to find it here for you guys. Let's take a look. This one has a pretty decent one at about 0.35%. You'll see the next one we're going to talk about the expense ratio is ridiculously low. And you guys can see right now the dividend yield is about 2.5% as of the date of 329, which is actually about three months ago at this point. And I think this has rose the price of this ETF has rose since that time period. So the dividend has gotten a bit smaller. So let's hop over here to this think or swim platform very quickly. You guys can see it's risen a ton since that March date, I believe right, it was right around here. Yeah, it has risen a little bit. So the dividend has shrunk. And the thing is guys, some of these ETFs right now, I probably wouldn't be buying if I didn't already own it, right? I own it right now, I'm viewing it as a hold. But at this point, you know, we're at a point in the markets where it could be a tipping point and we might see a big sell off. So in this case, you know, I'm personally not buying because we're really high up here right now. And if we drop, let's say we get back to like the 58, 59 level, maybe like low 60s, like $60 flat, this is going to open up a better opportunity in my eyes with a better starting yield. Think about it, I don't know if these numbers are exact, these are off the top of my head kind of like with my mental calculator here. But I think, you know, if we drop down to $60, that starting dividend would go from like a 2.2 to at least a 3%. I would think, right? And for dividend aristocrats long term, that could be a pretty good entry point, you know, on this ETF. So Noble, that is one that I really love, I own. And another thing to keep an eye on guys, just to mention it, is you want to know what sectors is your fund, you know, like what part of the economy is your fund mostly in? Is it in consumer staples, industrials, financials, materials? And you want to see if it's well diversified across multiple different sectors. And in my opinion, this one is, you know, we've got 25% in consumer staples. Consumer staples are goods that people are always going to need even through a time period of hard times, which I personally love. I love this one long term. Industrials, that's a bit more volatile, right? That's a bit more cyclical. But we have that one at 21%. You see financials 12%. And this is where we start to get nicely diversified in materials, healthcare, consumer discretionary, all the way down to real estate. So those are things you need to just keep an eye on for these funds. So the second one that I want to talk about today is the iShares Core High Dividend Yield ETF. This one's priced at $94.20 right now. The iShares Core Dividend High Dividend ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of relatively high dividend paying US equities. So let's take a look down here. Access to 75 dividend paying stocks. So this fund owns 75 investments. And the other one, I didn't mention how many it owns. We might as well go back and take a look very quickly because that's important. Seems like this one owns I'd say about 60 or 70 as well. Just looking at this list very quickly. So that's a pretty good fund there. Some own up to like 300, 400 companies by the way guys. So be mindful of that as well. Excuse me. Let's take a look down here at the holdings. You guys can see this is a higher dividend yield fund and some of these companies that you're going to see here, they actually pay a pretty higher dividend. So you guys can see XOM 8.5% weight, JP Morgan, Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, Chevron, Pfizer, Proctor & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Cisco, PepsiCo. These are the top 10 holdings of this fund. And me personally, I like a lot pretty much all of these companies. You know these companies have been here for a long time and I personally think they're going to be here in the future in their respective industries. If we go to the All tab here, we said there were 75. It seems like there are 79 here. Anyway, if we go to the second, you guys can see more big companies. Merck, Texas Instrument, Broadcom, which actually dumped very heavily this past week. Dominion, 3M, Duke, Lockheed Martin, United Parcel Service, US Bank Corp. And the list goes on. This is very important. Again, like I said, keep an eye on these facts about the ETF, especially with what kind of stocks are they holding. That's the most important thing in my opinion when it comes to this. So let's go and see PE Ratio 18.75 fees. This is the lower fee that I was talking about. Again, these take management to manage them. 0.08% compared to the 0.35% and the last one, that is ridiculous. This is like four times less in terms of the management fee, the expense ratio that it was compared to the other one. So that's very, very good there. And they're also paying an extremely juicy dividend, which I am trying to find for you guys. I know it's very good. So here it is, guys. The ETF yield I did pass right over it. It is 3.5% right now, 3.5%. And that is very, very good in my personal opinion, especially starting out right now. And we're going to look at the technicals in a little bit after we do take a look at what this fund has its stocks diversified throughout in terms of sectors. So energy, 20%, consumer staples 15%, health care 15%, financials 10%. So this one is very well diversified as well. And when it's coming down, another thing I want to mention here, guys, when you're comparing two ETFs, I think you have to ask yourself, in what sector do you want your money more in in a way, right? Because you see this one is more heavily in energy, but the other one is more heavily in consumer staples, right? So you kind of have to ask yourself, do you want more money in consumer staples? This one that the Aristocrat one might be better for you because let's say you don't want a lot of money in energy, 20%, a decent amount of the fund that's pretty good. That's like a fifth of the fund. You know, if you don't want your money there, you may be like, okay, this may not be the best spot for me. I want to look for a different ETF that has less weight and energy, maybe more in something more stable, like, you know, consumer staples, which the noble one does have. But then you can see noble has a higher expense ratio and a lower dividend. So that also has to come into account when making your decision.  I like doing more research, although I own these two, I like looking for new ones, and just constantly learning and doing stuff like this. It's one of my biggest passions in life, guys. So let's take a look at the technicals. Now that we got, you know, the main key facts out of the way about this ETF, HDV, you guys can see that did rhyme. It is very high up on the chart as well, just like noble. At this point, it's at a resistance at about $95. We have yet to break out of that resistance, you know, markets are near all-time highs. We're nearing the end of the economic cycle, not saying there's going to be a recession anytime soon. I'm not going to be that guy that tries to call that out. But this at this point, I would like buying more because, again, I personally already own, but where I would buy more, you know, I would want it down to at least $85 to be honest with you guys. I would want it to be back down to this one ADSMA. At that point, the dividend yield starting at that point, and my guess would be like 4%. If it's like 3.5 now, if we were to drop a bit more, you know, that would pump up the dividend, that would be a very good spot, in my opinion, for HDV. So that's pretty much it for today's video, guys. The two ETFs were NOBL and HDV. I really hope you enjoyed this video, and if you guys have any comments, let me know down below what do you think about this. I would love to know what you own in terms of funds. Do you like ETFs? Do you like this more passive style of investing, which is just investing in ETFs, dividend ETFs, S&P index, ETFs, whatever it may be, I would love to know.
