So what I did is I just went into the back test And said, okay, what about 0.55 And it tested the exact same So did I do the right thing? Did I kind of bend my rules maybe? I mean, you could certainly argue that But at the same time I'm following the back test At the time I set the back test I was just using wider round numbers So I can see the argument on both sides That for either taking it or not taking it But that's what I did If it's kind of borderline And you change a bunch of criteria To fit what's happening You just got to make that decision That's part of the art of trading And making decisions But based on the back test Of just that tiny slight variation I didn't change the back test at all So yeah, I did skip the RIC Because I have it set at 14 minimum And it was under that So I tested 13 And I tested a bunch of numbers It did affect it enough to the point where I decided not to take it So what's everybody doing on this nice long holiday weekend? I Fortunately or unfortunately I can't decide which Have my son's baseball tournament I was really hoping they wouldn't schedule one On Labor Day weekend, but they did So that's what I'm doing I will be coaching baseball Trader Bianca Tracturing around I'll be doing some of that too Elliot doesn't get the day off because he's not American Alright State Park 3-day back testing and planning Alright, Maro, sounds exciting Chris is going to Canada to save some bees Maro, I posted the monthly performance It's in the trader chat I'll be doing a weekly recap At the end of today as well I ended up down about 2K For power hour for August Which I was down a Quite a bit more than that at one point 20, 20 plus K at one point You know what's interesting I was looking through my trader sink For power hour And My best, if memory serves me right My best month P&L wise Was April And I was trading 6 contracts on Trunch 1 3 contracts on Trunch 2 And I think 1 or 2 on Trunch 3 So literally You know, less than half The size of what I'm doing now But yet my P&L in April Was that much more Alright, other trades We've got a Double calendar and NDX It's up a little bit About 7, 800 bucks Got a TGIF And SPX A tiny bit, couple hundred Man, that premium suckage today Is really Drooped these double calendars in the middle, hasn't it? Could pop back up next week, we'll see Yep, got to do a 6, 7 By the end of the day 2, 15 to be exact So, I'll actually I'll probably do that right before Trunch 2 Probably still chopping around 45, 10 Alright, I'm going to go ahead and get my 6, 7 Out of the way 6, 7, I do 25 delta Filled at 475 partial Part of it filled at 475 We've got 5 minutes till Trunch 2 So I'll wait to see if My other part of my 6, 7 Fills I'm focusing on Trunch 2 There we go, filled Alright, so just posted that in the calendar channel Trunch 2 looks like it's going to Be a repeat Of the 45, 10 straddle I pointed out in my September update There's a pretty decent Difference in the testing Between 3, 15 and 3, 14 Entry on Trunch 2 I mean, I think it's just kind of Coincidental, but It's interesting to see on Trade like this how much that minute Difference made by some longs For Trunch 2 So now price is kind of right between the strikes See if it's going to push Closer to one of the other Either the 10s or the 15s I mean, it looks like 45, 10 straddle 45 Trunch 2 Straddle Trying to get filled at 580 Filled at 585 for Trunch 2 Load it up on the 45 10s Let's hope that's the pin I also now do a reduction In my stop at 40% On Trunch 2 So I move from 3 to 2 Trunch 1 I got in at 660 395 For Trunch 1 And 350 for Trunch 2 To reduce stops I will have everyone know BitK's Barbecue Order has been Placed. I just want everybody to know I'm fulfilling my bet obligations Boy, this VIX just Wants to go down, doesn't it? So that low that we hit back in June Was 12.73 We're down to 13.09 Yeah, I think they put like dry Ice Or something in it I don't know, I've never had it shipped to me But it's going to be fresh and good to go Just warm it up I definitely got assigned on that Let that expire, it went in the money on me Got assigned to contract a barbecue Yeah, yeah, it's all cooked Just needs to be warmed up I'm sure BitK will send us pictures with him And his family with barbecue all over their face Just Lapping it up and join it With my expense I would expect nothing less BitK I don't know if they delivered it illy or not I would say not Yeah, probably not because they said They can't deliver on Mondays Because they won't do it over the weekend And the Target delivery date They said it could be delivered One or three days before or after that date Sounds like a wager You need to make Chris I'm not here to do your betting for you, Chris I have my own problems If you didn't notice Trunch three Might have a shot At a five point wide But it could be a straddle as well I tried to get out of my 6E Quick 30% But Kind of popped back up on me So I'm going to go ahead and cancel that order Looks like a couple people who have gotten out I put their orders in early and got out It was not that quick So it was up a couple percent today We'll just leave our ES hedgehog on Until Tuesday Build up some puts in MES Got a QQ QDuck that will expire for Beak Profit today And fly Just put on the full structure Instead of just the fly first With the volatility as low as it is I didn't want to just put on the fly So put on the full structure Do that four days to work on Trunch three Oh shoot, I forgot to adjust my I'm doing 14 contracts here So Trunch three Five wide 14 Trunch three straddle 14 There we go, so now I need to buy some longs Looks like the 1510 Trunch three five wide 14 Trying to get filled at 290 Filled at 295 Oh, I see what happens I got two different ones So let's go With that later Dollar stop, yeah, that's all right Okay I'm in, locked and loaded 4410 is the sweet spot Hmm, that's interesting Andrew K I was under the impression that you could have a second margin account if you If it was a joint I guess you're just going to have to put it all in your wife's name Wait, you're saying that it was under a different individual's name? They're both under your name Yeah, you can't do that I thought you could as a joint though I'm not 100% sure on that though Or if you have an LLC You can do it under the LLC's name Is that right, Wuga? Well, IRAs are not margin Yeah, IRAs would be different With TOS On IRAs you can trade Defined risk spreads in an IRA So you have to have the Options approval level But it's not It's not considered a margin account With TOS you can't trade Naked You can trade cash secured puts But you can't trade like Naked Calls Tasty works you can SPX climbing up towards $45.15 You can't trade No I don't think you would be able to trade You can't trade any spreads in a cash account But I was saying in an IRA account you can Buy long options You can buy calls or buy puts SPX has been getting a little bouncy Since $130 Calm your little self down Trunch 1 My stops at $10.60 Spreads trading at $7.60 Trunch 2 My stop is at $5.95 Spreads trading at $4 That's Trunch 3 Confusing myself with my different number of contracts now Trunch 2 Spreads trading at $7.

How'd they let you off work? MRP Amono Philip Marcus's iPhone Radick Ricardo, Ryan Murphy, S Terrell Sims Trader AL, Vegas Michelle, Wuga Ryan P Those SIGs there in the currency That would be alphabetical order Krish, somehow Ryan P got stuck at the end of the list though and Tevis got stuck at the beginning Not sure how that happened Everybody else was alphabetical Oh, there we go It's because Tevis was off mute He was trying to come in here and talk to everybody Does anybody want to talk today? Does anybody want to jump on the mic with me? Anyone except Krish? No takers, alright I'll just sit here and talk to myself Like I always do I need a co-host We're going to start having tryouts for co-hosts That Monday really throws in the wrench on the old 3-5's, 3-6's, and 3-7's You do that? What do you want the panel to be comprised of? There's been a lot of discussion in different channels about the topic of transitioning from a part-time trader to a full-time trader I definitely want to dive deeper on that I think there's a lot too that we could bring up to the surface I might reach out to a handful of you who are already full-time professional traders to see if you'd be interested in having a little discussion I think it'd be fun I think it'd be good 10 minutes to exit Even for me I really like if it's at all possible I really encourage people to try to have some other source of income other than trading I think it just frees up the mind to make trading decisions so much better I know that's not something you can just snap your fingers and create but there's a lot of variables to that or just a situation where you're not truly dependent upon your trading income to pay your bills making sure you don't have any debt making sure you just don't have these financial obligations that would create a stress that would cause you to make trading decisions based on trying to pay your financial obligations that can be no bueno yeah and then you go through a drawdown that's what I mentioned to you a little bit Elliott in the other channel was what do you do then how do you react when you go through a drawdown do you try to increase your size to make that back because you want to get back because you have things to pay for do you scale down because you're nervous you know all those little things make a huge difference trade around 45 12 MRP how about we create a channel and share ideas for trading strategies in long term accounts like an IRA we have the different channels for each strategy a lot of them can be traded in an IRA except for like the short strangles but all the butterflies ducks, calendars those are all IRAs done in shorter or longer duration coming into the 45-11 handle you're an adrenaline junkie you got to have that blood pumping don't you spot if you can set up a Monday, Friday oh 7-10 September 8-11 I've already got two of those I've got an IRA F and a NDX both double calendars on the 7-10 so I'm pretty good there oh yeah I forgot about my stop reduction I saw 3.95 just as I opened it moving stop on trunch 1-6.95 trunch 2 I'm looking for 3.50 it's trading at about 3.80 I need a price to go back down back down to 45.10 please change that to 5.50 3.60 3.50 changing stop to 5.50 on trunch 2 that feels good feels good to lock in a little since I don't do trailing stops about 3 minutes till I exit alright no need to be a hero today SPX let's just calm down get back down to where you belong must be bouncing off VWAP again am I right 45.10 the VWAP did I get that right I know VWAP so well that I don't even have to have it on my chart I just visualize it is that trunch 3 at $1 trunch 2 a little little drop here in the next minute not a push drop 30 seconds till eject no I'm going the wrong way filled at 5.90 terrible move terrible terrible move 7.30 and 2.35 so I think I was still profitable but take it a lot away in the last couple minutes so trunch 1 I got in at 6.60 looks like some 45.10 that would have been so I got in at 6.60 at 5.90 and 5.80 so that was a small winner trunch 2 5 out at some at 5.80 basically a scratch out at some at 7.25 and 30 and trunch 3 in at 2.95 out at 2.35 about a 60.60 winner so net net profitable but not what it could have been all right my friends let's see check in the live stream channel for Tuesday Tuesday Wednesday chat in the morning Thursday Friday zero DTE and me in the morning and then we'll be of course streaming for power hour every day next week except Labor Day all right guys and gals have a great weekend be safe take care chat with you soon


Item Number SCP-755 Object Class Keter Containment Pending Special Containment Procedures The capture of SCP-755-A is to be considered a K-Class priority to all personnel assigned to SCP-755. Should SCP-755-A be captured alive, all possible effort is to be made to ensure their compliance, and they are to be delivered to humanoid-detaining facility 17 for questioning and study. Any and all instances of SCP-755-B discovered are to be reported immediately to a superior and destroyed if possible. After encountering an instance of SCP-755-B, the discovering party is to seek a safe location within view of the instance and to remain observant for their own safety until the arrival of MTF Gamma 30, then to obey any orders or requests for assistance made by the MTF leader at that time. Description SCP-755-A, hereafter referred to as the Vandal, is a graffiti vandal who was thought at the time of the archiving of this report to be active in San... Yeah. Though the work of the artist has been cited in eight other cities in the continental US and Europe, including Denver, Colorado, Newark, New Jersey, Un... Security footage shows the vandal to be a light-skinned individual with a slim build, who stands approximately two meters in height. From the basic body type shown in the footage, it is assumed, though not confirmed, that the vandal is male. The vandal regularly travels large cities, leaving behind instances of SCP-755-B. SCP-755-B, hereafter referred to as the Graffito, is a graffito, style and form varied by instance, that invariably reads, with incorrect capitalization remaining consistent in all instances. Watch for the white bird. The graffito is typically written directly onto surfaces with marker or paint, or in some recorded instances, list available to personnel with level 3 clearance or higher upon request, inscribed on scrap material, and left in prominent locations. The writing materials appear to have no anomalous properties, and several recovered instances are stored for study in the low-risk materials sector of Site 93. Persons who read the graffito are invariably injured or killed in apparent accidents, involving a white bird of some description. Extensive research has confirmed a statistical correlation between the accidents, and having read the graffito, and that instances of the phrase written by persons other than the vandal do not correlate with accidents or injuries to any measurable extent. SCP-755 was brought to the attention of the Foundation when an EMT discovered a journal belonging to the late investigative journalist Graham Scott in the scene of the seven-car pile-up that resulted in the deaths of Scott and other individuals. The journal details Scott's attempts to locate and interview the vandal, who he believed was attempting to warn the victims of the white bird, sick, in order to save their lives. The white bird mentioned in the graffito and Scott's writing has not been confirmed to exist. In many events, no bird can be confirmed to have been involved outside the direct testimony of the injured party, with some or all other witnesses claiming not to have seen any such avian at all, or with eyewitnesses disagreeing on the positioning, exact coloration, and species of the bird. Addendum 755-1 Despite Scott's assertions, many Foundation researchers suspect that the vandals' role in the events preceded by viewing the graffito are causal rather than prophetic, and that the vandal seeks to further the agenda of their own, or merely enjoys the thrill of causing suffering and death. In light of this possibility, and given the established correlation between instances of the graffito, and injuries or fatalities among otherwise unrelated persons, SCP-755 has been granted Ketter-level containment-required status. An MTF Gamma 30, White Watch, has been created to liaise with law enforcement to capture the vandal for study in questioning, and destroy instances of the graffito as they are located. Addendum 755-2 On-screen appears to have bypassed data-expunged, normal for an instance of the graffito, but for the addition of the words, I'm sorry, in a small cursive font. The event was filed as usual by Memt Data Expunged. Document 755-375 Travers Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Sorry about the flight delay. I'm sure you all saw the maintenance guys cleaning the graffiti off the boarding ramp. Now that that's all out of the way, we can get ready to take off. It's a beautiful sunny day in LA, and weather conditions are absolutely perfect for flying. This is Flight 279er to Houston, by the way, so if you aren't supposed to be on board, you should go ahead and disembark while you still can. 21 minutes removed for brevity. Travers This is your captain speaking. I'm sure you've all seen the smoke, but don't panic. It's just a bird that got sucked into the engine. In a moment, the oxygen masks will drop as I prepare for an emergency landing. Put those on and follow the flight attendants instructions, and we'll have you guys safely on the ground in no time. Again, please do as the flight attendants ask, and remain calm. Everything will be just fine. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-754, Illustrated Climbing Vine, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


Greetings friends. This is Survival Doc. Here we are in the fall. The cold and flu season is upon us. Now some of you might be thinking about running out to get your flu shot. Well today I just wanted to share with you something about my flu shot because today I just took my flu shot. Alright here is my flu shot. Right here. Vitamin D3. Now the medical research actually shows that Vitamin D3 is more effective at preventing the flu than the flu shot. Why isn't it promoted? Because pharmaceutical companies don't make billions of dollars on Vitamin D3 like they do on the flu shot. Now Vitamin D3 is known as the sunshine vitamin. Normally it is made in the summertime by ultraviolet action from the sun acting on your skin converting cholesterol into Vitamin D. Well naturally during the winter season the sun is lower in the atmosphere. It comes through more atmosphere which filters out more of the UV radiation. We also wear more clothes and so we get very little UV radiation from the sun during the winter months. That is one of the reasons that the cold and flu season is in the winter months because that is when our immune system is down. And Vitamin D3 is one of the most important vitamins that we need to boost our natural immunity. So not only does it help you prevent the colds and flu and bronchitis and things like that but it also helps your immunity against all types of diseases. They've also found considerable evidence showing that Vitamin D3 is even effective at helping your body fight antibiotic resistant tuberculosis. This is the tuberculosis that antibodies are not effective against. And it does this by boosting your immune system so that your own immune system can handle the tuberculosis. Now in order to fight tuberculosis the recommended dosage of Vitamin D3 is 10,000 international units a day. That's a high dosage and some people recommend that type of dosage. I don't recommend that type of dosage except for during short periods or during times of an emergency such as if you are exposed to tuberculosis or if you actually have tuberculosis. During the normal times during the cold and flu season I recommend 2,000 international units of Vitamin D3 twice a day for a total of 4,000 international units of Vitamin D3 a day. Now you may ask why Vitamin D3? What's the difference between Vitamin D3 and the other forms of Vitamin D such as Vitamin D2? Well Vitamin D3 is actually the most bioactive form of Vitamin D and what that means is it's the form of Vitamin D that your body most easily absorbs and uses. Now another problem that people often suffer from during the cold and flu season or during the winter season is a condition known as SAD. And SAD stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. For some people it can be a very debilitating form of depression. But for a lot of us we may not be severely depressed but we just call it the winter blues. It's just a lower amount of mood or a poor mood during the dark season of the year or during the winter when we don't get as much sunlight. Well the reason for that is for the same reason that our immune system is depressed and that is because of lack of sunlight or because Vitamin D3 actually has been found to improve your mood. So not only does D3 help improve your immune system but it also helps to improve your mood during the cold and flu season. Vitamin D3 is one of the vitamins that I recommend that you store up large quantities of in case we have a long prolonged emergency. Because during a prolonged emergency you're going to be under a lot of stress. Your stress suppresses your immune system and so you're going to need all the immune support you can get. Also there may be contagious diseases flying around like the flu, maybe even biological attacks or diseases such as tuberculosis, antibiotic resistant tuberculosis. And I consider Vitamin D3 to be one of the most important items that are in my survival emergency kit. Now these, this particular Vitamin D3 here contains 4,000 international units per two tablets. So these are 2,000 international units per tablet. This is the size that I recommend 2,000 per tablet. That way you can take two a day, take one in the morning and one in the evening and that way you get your 4,000 international units of Vitamin D3. And during times when you're exposed to the flu or you have the flu or you're sick or you have tuberculosis you can actually increase that up to 10,000 international units a day. Now while I'm on the subject of vitamins I want to talk about survival or prepping when it comes to vitamins and nutrition. Now during the time of an emergency we may be eating stored food that we've had in stores for quite some time. Alright the longer food is stored the more nutritional value it loses. In particular it's vitamin content. So during emergencies if we're living on our stored food not only are we under more stress because of the whatever emergency situation is around us. When we're under more stress we need more vitamins. Our bodies actually burn more vitamins when we're under stress. So not only do we need more vitamins but at the same time we may be getting fewer vitamins from our food because we're eating food that's been in long-term food storage. So for that reason I recommend that your food storage supplies include vitamins. It's particularly a high-quality multi-vitamin and multi-mineral and also a calcium supplement. Here is a multi-vitamin that I use here's a calcium supplement supplement that I use and also don't forget children. Make sure they also store up some chewable vitamins that children enjoy particularly vitamins that contain vitamin D3. Now one of the places that you store vitamins is in your body.  Your bodies can actually store these for quite some time. Your body also stores minerals. When you're not getting this nutrition in your diet then your body draws upon its storage bank that is in your body. Now most Americans have chronically poor nutrition which means their bodies are nutrient poor from the start. So even during good times most Americans are nutrient poor. So one of the things that you can do as a prepper is to make sure that your body has a good storage of vitamins and minerals during good times so that when the bad times come you can draw on your storage. And as an example of that your bones are a place where your body stores a lot of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and trace minerals. They found out that women who suffer from osteoporosis actually could have benefited if they had taken more calcium when they were little girls. Because when they were little girls their body was building up its nutrition stores and it was putting minerals in the bones for later use in life. So then when these women get older and they suffer from menopause and some of these conditions that may cause weakening of the bones if they actually had a good storage from the beginning when they were girls. And there have been medical studies that have shown that when women are given good nutrition as little girls that actually helps them throughout the remainder of their life including in old age. And this is just an example of how your bones store minerals and your bones are actually called by some authorities your calcium bank. And what do you do when you need a little extra money? You go to the bank and you make a withdrawal. Well that's also what your body does when it needs a little extra minerals that it's not getting in your diet. It goes to your bones and it makes a withdrawal.  So during good times you want to take a good quality natural vitamin and mineral supplement and don't forget the minerals including all the trace minerals. And in addition to that I would most multivitamins have a little calcium in it but I actually take a calcium supplement in addition to my multivitamin.  And at the same time you want to store vitamins in your survival supplies so that if you're not able to buy the vitamins at the store you have some in storage particularly vitamins that you may need during severe stressful times like flu season or during a biological attack or if there's an epidemic raging around vitamin D3 because it boosts your body's natural immune system is what is what I consider the most essential vitamin to store. Plus again the fact that during the winter months your body's not getting vitamin D3 unless you take a supplement because you're exposed to less ultraviolet radiation. Don't forget children don't forget to store vitamins for children. And there's one other thing I want to mention I've talked about rotating your food storage which means that you don't want to just put your food away and forget about it you want to use the food you have in storage and constantly replace what you use always using your oldest first. So you want to rotate your food by putting your new food behind your old food on the shelf moving your old food toward the front so that when you grab that can of food you're grabbing the oldest one and this way you rotate your food and that's why I say buy what you eat and eat what you buy. Well that also applies to vitamins because just like food vitamins have a shelf life so you should be taking your vitamins don't just buy vitamins and put them into storage you should be taking them and by taking them you're also rotating it then you're constantly buying additional vitamins put them in the back move the older ones to the front take the bottle from the front which will be the oldest one and that way you're constantly rotating your vitamins. Now about expiration dates as with canned foods the expiration date or best if used by date on vitamins is just a guideline it does not mean that the vitamins are bad after that date has expired. What happens is the vitamins just lose their potency which means that if a vitamin is like a year or two beyond its expiration date or best if used by date the vitamin will not harm you it does not hurt you to take expired vitamins. What happens is the vitamins just become less potent but there is still some nutrition there you may have like half of the vitamin C content that it had when it was new but that's okay because half is better than none and if you're taking some real old vitamins you can even increase the doses double the dosage but don't throw your vitamins out just because that date has expired you can take your vitamins past that date but ideally you want to constantly be using your vitamins to build up your internal storage you want to be using your vitamins which means you want to be constantly each month constantly replacing what you're using and rotating your vitamin storage so that it is always fresh. This is survival doc reminding you be prepared or be prepared to be pleased


Hey everybody, Dr. O here. So we've talked about how red blood cells are made and how they're used. Let's talk about what happens when we're done with them. So the average red blood cell is going to survive for about 120 days in circulation. Once it's worn out and ready to be replaced, it will be removed by macrophages.   Bone marrow, liver and spleen. The iron's going to be stored and reused, which is why these areas have lots of iron. The protein component of your red blood cells is going to be broken down. So it's going to be degraded into something called biliverdin, which is a green pigment. And that is then going to be turned into bilirubin, which is a yellow pigment. So the cool thing is this bilirubin is actually used when we make bile, when we make new bile. So broken down red blood cells play a huge role in the production of bile, which we'll cover in the digestive system. But some of this is going to be further broken down in your large intestines. This bilirubin is broken down by bacteria into something called stercobilins, and that's what gives feces its brown color. The kidneys can also remove this bilirubin, and it's going to be secreted as what are called urobilins, which is going to make your urine yellow. So the yellow color of your urine and the brown color of your feces are both the results of the breakdown of red blood cells. Now, of course, this is happening two to three million times every second. So there's going to be a lot of these products around. Lastly, so if your liver is failing and you can't get rid of this bilirubin and put it into bile and use it properly, that's why it's going to build up in the body. And that would be jaundice. So if someone is starting to get a yellowish tinge, then the big concern is that their liver is failing, and that's what jaundice would be. So the breakdown of these red blood cell products is still happening, but you can't actually properly get rid of the bilirubin and it builds up in tissues. That's kind of cool, not for that person, of course. All right, so that is the basics of how red blood cells are going to be broken down and its parts are going to be recycled. And this process is going to happen, again, two to three million times every second in your body. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby-cheating video and today we're gonna be talking about layering. That's right a simple technique We all learned at the beginning, but it turns out there's a lot of hidden layers too Let's get into it. Let's strict techno man sir. That is Vincy V. Let us get to the technique and learn it Vincy V style So let's talk about layering and I'm gonna use layering today to paint the skin of this Drake off One of my fulminators in my rat cast army. This is how I do most Organic skin like this of a small area. It's usually with a lot of layering Especially when it's ridged like this. Now what we're really gonna focus on today is the tips and tricks That actually can make layering more effective. I think what a lot of people think of layering and they see it as a very basic Technique it's what we all started doing. It's the basic application of the paint But of course, there's a lot more to it and there is quite a lot of sealing on this skill So let's start with just getting down that good base coat and to begin with one of the things we want to talk about is of course The classic rule now I'm far from the person who made this famous But of course working thinner and working in multiple coats You might even say two of them can often be a good way to go With acrylic paint, it's naturally Transparent it's often most from most models unless you're working with an air brand fairly thick out of the bottle And you want to apply it in a thin controllable way meaning it's mixed perhaps one to one or something like that with water You're then gonna work your way around the model usually at least two sometimes three times In this case, I'm working over black but working up even if you're working over brighter colors It can still be a better idea To reapply because you then get a more true version of that color Now as you begin to jump values, let's talk about what you're ultimately doing when you're highlighting with layering What you're doing is slowly integrating a brighter color into the layer and Building that up and each time you apply the layer you need to cover less and less space That's pretty obvious. Most of you probably already knew that but here's my first tip Cover more than you think you need to cover one of the things I often see new painters do when they're using layering and covering less is they jump too fast They cover too little and they're covering it based on how bright the paint is when they apply it You'll notice that as I put the paint on it looked quite bright But notice his back leg right now see how much more dull that paint is than when I initially applied it That's because acrylic paint dries Some paints. This is quite extreme like whites and things like that reds Some paints drive much much much darker than when they went on the reason for that is simple when they're wet They're also reflecting light because they're glossy as they dry and the water evaporates They become much more dull and much more dark So understand that your color your layer that you're putting on will be less Now let's talk about value jumps When you're jumping values if you're working in dark colors you can actually make some pretty significant value jumps and it will still Look fine because darker paints are more transparent as you move into lighter colors You need to make smaller and smaller and smaller value jumps Light colors tend to have more white more bright colors in them And so the dividing lines between the layers will be more visible if you do not keep your value jumps your brightness jumps shorter The next thing I want to talk about as we move into this next area where you see me working with these brighter and brighter colors Remember cover more than you think you should every time Apply it a couple times, right? We'll get into that more in a second The next thing I want to say is actually about brush control. This is where layering can have a lot more power. I See a lot of painters, especially when they start out use the brush in the wrong way Notice how I'm often having the brush completely sideways. The only time I really turn to the tip is when I'm trying to hit some small detail Notice how horizontal Against the surface the brush is Work with the side of the brush Not only will it preserve your tip and make your brushes last longer, but it will also help you get a smoother layer Because as you apply the paint you're not leaving the dividing line think of a boat Cutting through the water that leaves a wake Whereas if you turned your hand sideways and ran your whole arm in it's not going to be as big of a jump Right, you're not going to create as big of a wake behind So less brush strokes working thinner working in multiple passes and working with the side of the brush Will all help reduce Visible brush strokes when you don't want them there when you want something smooth which often you do but not always There is value to visible brush strokes One more quick simple tip when you get paint on your brush dab it off onto a paper towel or something similar Having less liquid in your brush can also help you control the paint and keep everything smooth One of the challenges with layering is that there's always going to be a little bit of a line of separation when you're just Using this technique and that's because acrylic paint is ultimately built not to blend but to be durable and to dry fast So there will come a point when you need to ask yourself Is it worth making shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter value jumps in my layers Or is it worth just using a second technique like feathering wet blending or glazing to bring it together In the end it can sometimes be the right choice to use a different technique just in the idea of time saving All right So remember when you're applying layers as sam lends the master of painting says it's about shingles on a roof Think of shingles on a roof and how they cover each other each one overlapping the next Remember cover more than you think you should and apply it like shingles and you can get a really nice really smooth result Your next logical question is probably But where do I put the highlights? This is often a challenge for new painters and as i'm getting into the brighter colors here It's going to become very apparent where your highlights go You push them to the top Think of your miniature not as whatever it is not as a little drake off or dragon thing or something like that But instead a bunch of shapes and each of those shapes has a plane a flat surface right And every time i'm pushing the light to the top of that flat surface Now there are some exceptions with different materials things like metal will reflect differently But we're not going to worry about that when we're dealing with organic textures The light is going to fall at the top of the area. This is true for the total volume of the miniature But it's also true for each individual plane So you can see how all the muscles in his feet there and each scale I'm treating it like its own individual plane and always pushing the highlights my shingles are pushing towards the top Just like you start on a roof with the shingles at the lower part of the roof and work your way to the top to the pinnacle of the roof Let's talk about layering with white paint So first of all, I'm a big fan of golden heavy body acrylics and heavy body acrylics for my white in general If you want to see all about painting smooth white, I have a video about that linked up in the top corner right now But once you get up into colors with a lot of white in them The opacity of the paint that is to say the distinction between one layer and another is going to become very very very clear So how do we deal with this? We deal with this by integrating it with another color and working thin This is when we need to have multiple layers And when we're working with that white something like a heavy body acrylic is valuable Because we can smooth it out with a layer a lot easier It's going to integrate and dry and blend into the layer below it with a lot less effort So if you're having trouble integrating white into your highlights, which you don't always do oftentimes There are other colors you can highlight with But if you are trying to use a white highlight as I am here Something like a heavy body acrylic may be what you want to look into The final thing I'll say as we're coming down to the end here of highlighting this dragon Is remember layers don't always have to be something significant and big My final layers you'll note on this drake off are hitting things like the edge of the scales Adding little small lines to the very tippy top part of the muscles or the folds in his skin Right just drawing out those individual areas and not covering all of them But if you see how I'm covering so little space Effectively just adding a little light catch a little line to the very tippy top of the volume Now comes the question of how do we draw it all together? Layers will leave some kinds of transitions And you can of course use things like glazes and things like that But I want to change your thinking just a little here Now I did this whole thing in various shades of blue dark sea blue to turquoise to blue green to white But at the end I grabbed some violet and I worked it down into a glaze Which I know isn't a layer video on glazing linked up above But by running an interference color over it something that's different than the blue very very thin It will disguise the lines between your paints Much more than a thinned down version of one of the previous colors Because it's acting as both hue contrast and bringing together your value contrast So if you can work in a pop color into the shadow give it a try it's a lot of fun So there you go.  I'm pretty happy with how he came out The dragon itself is what I did by layering and in fact the different parts of the model were done with different techniques But I like the overall coherent look. I hope this was a useful Journey through the world of layering and gave you some ideas of how You can better use this technique in your own projects getting smoother and smoother blends without getting into anything too crazy As always give this a like if you liked it subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future We have new videos here every saturday if you've got any questions about anything I didn't cover Throw that down in the comments. I'm always happy to respond to every comment and question I get But as always, thank you so much for watching and we'll see you next time

Eight years on, the government of our county and the Nigerian people has embarked on the largest investment in infrastructure in our history. Investments in rail, in roads, in power, and road-bound connectivity. We have birthed an irreversible agricultural revolution, investing more in agriculture than any previous government in the history of our nation. We have established the largest social investment programme in sub-Saharan Africa, feeding 9.5 million children daily under a home-grown school-feeding programme, over 4 million beneficiaries of our government, empowerment and enterprise programme, market money, trader money, farmer money. Our private sector, as despite constraints, continue to do wonders. Only a few days ago, Mr. President commissioned one of the largest fertilizer plant in Africa and one of the largest in the world. And in a few months, the largest people line refinery in the world will become operational. In this government, under this government and in this nation. Since 2015, in the tech sector, our young men and women have established world-class companies. Today, in Nigeria, are most of six unicorns, tech companies valued at over 1 billion dollars each. Of course, it has not been a smooth job. It couldn't possibly be. The years of building are always difficult and sometimes painful. The building of a great edifice requires deep roots into the ground, as deep sometimes as the ground edifice that it will support. We cannot deny the difficulties we as a party and a government and indeed our people have been through. Even in the past two years, the COVID pandemic has worsened our economic circumstances. And we have had to tackle terrorist activities, insurgencies and security challenges in parts of the country. But our people have remained steadfast, resilient and determined to see a Nigeria of all our dreams. And our government has remained steadfast also. Determined, committed and focused. So to you members of our great party, in the coming months and years, we must remain resolute and committed and focused on the vision of Mr. President to deliver on the economy and security for all and the fight against corruption. Our highs must remain fixed on three things. One, jobs, two jobs, three jobs. We must focus on the objective of taking 100 million people out of poverty in this decade as promised by this government under the leadership of President Mohammed Khair. We will utilize the play of universal health for all. We will continue on down-tech and the task of building infrastructure that will be the foundation of the great modern economy of our dreams. We will continue the task of building a strong, united, fair and just Nigeria, in Nigeria where every young man will look and find opportunities to work and prosper. And we will not regret, we will not look back and we will not falter. And by the grace of God, this party, our party in all progressive Congress, will in the coming decades leave Nigeria and its great people to its manifest destiny. Before I take my seat, I want to specially congratulate all members of the all-progressive Congress. This is a party that was forged from the opposition, a party that came from this party, people and ideas all from the opposition. But some men slapped together and decided to form this party. And I want to mention their names just so that we can congratulate them and amend them specially. Beginning with the leader of that group, President Mohammed Khairi, whose vision and whose direction brought about that merger that became known as the ABC, Team BC and today is Excellency former governor of Oshinskaya, a Shihwadi brother of Eitinobu, a Makno leader, is Excellency Aliyu Muamato, former governor of Sokojoskaya, is Excellency Nassir El-Rufai, president governor of Arjuna State, is Excellency Dr. Gunaya Onu, also a former governor, and is Excellency Rojas of Roja, former governor of Himu State. His men, among others, start together to craft what today is known as the all-progressive Congress, Africa's largest political party and will be Africa's most successful political party. May God continue to bless the all-progressive Congress and may God bless the federal republic of Nigeria. Thank you very much.


A Japanese woman born at the dawn of the 20th century, believed to have been the world's oldest woman, or person, has died at the age of 119. She was confirmed by the Guinness World Records in 2019 as the oldest living person. Takana died at the hospital in Fukuwa City, Western Japan, on April 19.


What if I tell you that aiming for perfection in everything you do is actually a form of paralysis and procrastination and a form of low self-esteem and not living up to your potential? the reason for that is Because there's so much things that happen in this world. There's so much activity that not any single product or any single invention or any single video or article or website that you make is going to make a difference and If you focus on everything having to be perfect, you'll never actually get anything Fucking done. And what's the reason for that? The reason for that is because the matter of good enough, you know The the the level of good enough is something pretty universal when you create a website when you do a video Most people pretty much agree on what good enough is now That doesn't mean that they have the exact same definition But they have a close enough Approximation of what a good enough video looks like a good enough article looks like a good enough product looks like but let's talk about perfect Perfect is an ideal term Perfect means that you have absolutely nothing wrong with what you're doing with that product There's no such thing as perfect. So perfect is inherently infinite. You might spend Five hours making a website making it good enough and it looks great and it works great Or you might spend three months working on a website just making sure that it's perfect when in reality There's no such thing and you can't even judge perfect because even if it looks perfect to you It might not look perfect to somebody else and even if it looks perfect That doesn't mean that it actually is going to work and it's actually going to convert So the more things you can accept as good enough, you know when I make this video I'm accepting it's good enough when I meditate even if it's not a good meditation It's good enough when I work out I might not be in the mood, but it's good enough.  I hope it does Please good enough just make it good enough and start taking action if you're not taking action because you're like No, this has to be perfect. It's not perfect Realize it's a form of low self-esteem and procrastination You're simply trying to find excuses to focus on this thing and I'll move on to the next thing You only improve your life by taking massive action. The quality is less important. It's about quantity first quality Later make sense. Cool. If you have any questions, let me know.

Vitamin supplementation is important for children who are at risk of developing a vitamin deficiency due to restricted diets, poor absorption, or insufficient intake of certain foods. However, there is no consensus among healthcare professionals regarding the appropriate dosage and duration of supplementation. Furthermore, there is limited evidence to suggest that vitamin supplementation can be used as a primary form of treatment for any condition. Therefore, it is important to consult with a doctor before administering vitamin supplements to children. This article was authored by Lucia Martini, Luca Pecororo, Chiara Salvatini, and others.


It's the Roy Rogers Show! Happy Tres! Sugarcress, the cereal treat that's fun to eat, brings you the Roy Rogers Show. Transcribed on the double R bar range with Pat Brady and the Queen of the West, Day 11. Happy Tres! Sin Person, the king of the cowboys! Ruffle Howdy folks! Now, before we go on, remember post-sugarcress is that swell tasting cereal treat you can eat three ways. And talking about sugarcress boys and girls, here's great news. Now you can get wonderful hand puppets of handy dandy and candy, the sugarcress bears, and a genuine puppet theater, all for yourself. So get pencil and paper ready right now, because you'll want to write down the details later on. Black gold in Paradise Valley. Oil has been discovered on the property of the widow Jensen, and the wells have been leased to a commercial company. The oil fever has spread to the ranchers, and thrilling rigs and jerks dot the same pasture lands on which the cattle graze. Hey, why don't we drill for oil, Roy? Like everyone else is doing. I'd rather let everyone else do it, Pat. You know, the oil isn't exactly gushing in most places. No, I guess no one but Dave Thorpe is found enough to keep a sewing machine running. It's strange, too. You know, Thorpe's halfway across the valley from the Jensen place, and yet he's the only one who's brought in a well. Yeah, and the old goat is getting rich off it. Hey, have you seen those new tank trucks he bought to ship the stuff to the coast? Oil, oil, oil. That's all you hear. I like the valley better when everyone's stuck to ranching. Well, if oil talk bores you, Dale, you're in for a dull evening because Tommy Reed's coming over. Says he has problems. Oh, I wouldn't mind a few problems if I had a job like Tommy's. Running stuff for that big oil company that's working Mrs. Jensen strike is really something. You know, I've always liked Tommy. It'll be nice to see him, even if he is going to talk about oil. Yeah, Tom's quite a boy. He'll probably wind up as president of the company someday. Wouldn't that be something? Man, if I got to be president of an oil company, I'd hire me a shoulder to drive. Somebody's outside. That's probably Tommy. Quiet, bullet. Is that you, Tom? You bet. Bullet certainly saves wear and tear in your door. He heard me before I got around to knocking. Well, come on in. Hi there, Dale, Pat. Hi, Tom. Sit down, Tom. Thanks. How's the big oil tycoon? We were just talking about you. Yeah. Oh, Roy was saying the first thing we know you'll be president of that confounded oil company. First thing you know, I may not even be with him. What happened? Did you have a better offer? Hardly. It's just that if we don't stop losing oil, I'm likely to get tossed out in my ear. Losing oil? What do you mean? Well, almost every time we ship the tank cars, get to the refinery a couple of thousand gallons short. Well, let's see, Tom, you load the cars right at the well and then you haul them on your spur track to the main line on the other side of the valley, don't you? That's right. Every time we have four cars loaded, we notify the railroad and they send an engine to haul them out. How many stops did they make going across the valley? None. The 40-mile run to the main line and the crews are under orders to take the car straight through. Hmm. Maybe they're stopping somewhere anyway and draining the oil. I've ridden the last two trips in the engine cab and we certainly didn't make any stops, but we were almost 10,000 gallons short each time. The main office says the shipments have got to get through from now on or else. When are you going to ship again? Tomorrow night. The switch engine will pick them up about eight o'clock and have them at the main line siding by midnight. That siding is guarded by the railroad company, isn't it? Yeah, and the oil's being stolen between the wells and the main line. I'm sure of that. Well, you and Pat and I'd better ride the whole length of the spur track the first thing in the morning. We'll go on Nellie Bell and take it at the same speed the engine does. I don't know what we'll find out, but I'll bet we'll find out something. Pat? Nellie Bell may be a fine jeep, but she could certainly use a new set of springs. New set? She never had anything to start with, Tommy. Well, I can't understand. A couple of guys who ride horses all the time complaining about a few bumps. Does this suit you better? It'll be smooth as a day old calfskin for four miles until the tracks branch away from the highway again. Well, don't give this critter a head, Pat. We want to take it about the speed the train would. Okay, but this is sure poking along. It's upgrade now from here clean to the main line. Switch engine makes maybe ten or fifteen miles an hour coming down from the foothills, but from here on they don't do much better than seven or eight. You always ship at night, don't you, Tommy? Yeah. The railroad has only one switch engine for this territory and it's in use during the daytime. Wait a minute. Slow down, Pat. Slow down? We'll never get nowhere if I do. Well, head off into the field across the road. Drive up to that stand of eucalyptus. What's up, Roy? What do you see? A pretty good camouflage job. Well, I'll be darned. A couple of big, brown and green tarpaulins pulled over something behind them trees. Sure enough. Stop, Pat. At least I think that's what the fellow with the gun wants us to do. Oh, yeah. Big, tough-looking muzzler ain't he? Yeah. All right, you fellas. Turn around and be on your way. I'll take it easy there, stranger. We were just curious what you have under those tarps. Got pretty sharp eyes, haven't you? Well, they're trucks. Oh, what kind of trucks? I'm interested in all kinds of machinery. That's an adult truck. One of them broke down last night. My partner hitchhiked back into town to get a mechanic. And you just happened to have those tarps handy, huh? Yeah. Marine surplus. We pulled them over to keep the damp night air out of the engine. Well, if we can help you anyway, we'll be glad to. I don't have plenty of help in a little while. Hell, in that case, we'll run along. Let's go, Pat. Okay. Good luck, fella. Thanks! Roy, that fellow's story didn't make much sense. Yeah, if you want to know what I think, I think he was our cattle wrestler. I don't think those were cattle trucks, Pat. When they get on the road again, you can open her up. We might just as well ride right on into Mineral City. Back to Roy and a Jiffy. First, here's exciting news. Now you can put on your own puppet shows in a colorful puppet theater. You can get life-like hand puppets of handy dandy and candy, the three sugar-crisp bears. Imagine, these puppets are beautifully made, each with its own name printed across the chest. Put your hand inside in their heads, arms, and feet move. They act exactly as you want. They're in costume, too. Handy is a Mr. Fixit. He's got a fasten-on hat, a carpenter's apron, and a real hammer. Dandy's the well-dressed man with molar hat, walking cane, fancy vest. Sister Candy has a feathered beret, shopping bag, and housewife's apron. Here's how to get them. You can get any one puppet you choose, handy dandy or candy, for only $0.35 plus one sugar-crisp box top. And name the puppet you want, so you'll get the right one. Or better yet, for $1 and three sugar-crisp box tops, you get all three puppets, plus a brilliantly colored sugar-crisp theater for staging plays, plus extra hats and musical instruments. All this for $1 and three sugar-crisp box tops. So send money and box tops to Sugar-Crisp, box 8669, Chicago 77, Illinois. Now write that down. Sugar-crisp box 8669, Chicago 77, Illinois. Send for your puppets today. Oil ship from the Jensen Wells in the foothills of Paradise Valley along the spur railroad track disappears mysteriously before the tank cars reach the main line. Roy Rogers looks over the territory and gets an idea, but many pieces of the puzzle are still missing. Come on, let's all have lunch at the Eureka. Oh, Dale will probably put me to work. Roy, there isn't an awful lot of time before I should get back to the Wells to see that the shipment goes out tonight. We certainly haven't found out much so far. Well, there's somebody in the Eureka right now who might be able to give us some more information. Well, that's a good idea. Well, there's somebody in the Eureka right now who might be able to give us some more information. Well, nobody in there but Dale, an old Dave Thorpe. Well, Thorpe's the one I mean. Well, hi there, fellas. You're back earlier than I expected. Hi, Dale. Hi. Mr. Thorpe dropped around, and naturally we've been talking about oil. Roy, you ought to drill on your spread. Why, an oil well is better than a gold mine. Your well is really producing, eh, Mr. Thorpe? Barrels and barrels of the stuff. Well, it practically keeps me busy just counting the money as it rolls in. Oh, now that's the sort of thing that appeals to me. I hate to work for a living. I know it, Pat. But as long as you're here, you might as well put on an apron and get started with the morning dishes. Oh, Dale. Roy, I know this will happen. What happened this morning, fellas? Did you find out anything? Well, maybe. Mr. Thorpe, Pat tells me you bought a couple of big tank trucks. I would say I have. I do own shipping direct to an independent refinery on the coast.  Wouldn't it be cheaper to ship by rail? Well, it might be expensive to build a spur into that rugged back country where my well is. It was much cheaper to bulldoze a road for the trucks. Oh, where do you keep the trucks, Mr. Thorpe? Well, around the road, most of the time. You know, with all this talk about oil, I'm actually getting interested in this stuff. I'd like to see your well sometime, Mr. Thorpe. Well, about all there is to see, Miss Evans, is a derrick like you see sprouting up all over the valley. Yeah, but the derricks you see in the valley aren't producing. Ah, I'd like to have you come out sometime. I'm shut down right now because I don't have enough storage space to hold all the oil to well pumps. But in a couple of weeks, well, I'll let you know. Well, that'll be fine. Of course it's rugged country and an oil well is sort of a messy place. Oh, well, when are you shipping again, Reed? Well, I... Tom's sending out a train load tonight, Mr. Thorpe.  Good luck to you. I gotta be running along now. See you soon, everybody. Yes. Stop it again, Mr. Thorpe. Yeah, I guess I'll have to.  Well, actually, he doesn't talk like he does. It's a bad thing to shed a well down once it's producing. Those underground oil pools can drain off if you don't keep a pull on them. But, Dale, how would you and Pat like to take a look at Thorpe's oil well this afternoon? Well, I don't know what fun that'd be if it isn't running. And, Roy, I just can't close the restaurant. Yeah, but you'll be back before the supper rush. Tom and I have to saddle up and head for his company's wells. We'll phone you this evening before the shipment leaves and you can tell us just what you saw at Thorpe's. Now, the bells sure getting to work out today. I don't see how Thorpe gets his trucks in here. Well, you probably missed the road he built. Well, I sure haven't seen it. Now, why did Roy want us to come out here? Well, he just said we should keep our eyes open and tell him if Thorpe's is any different from other oil wells.  Hey, there. Hey, see that dirt rising up there? Oh, sure. That's an oil well, huh? Well, part of it. Won't be able to see the face of the works until we get over this node. But little old Nellie Belle has on top of it just a bit. Well, I'll be darned. Pat Brady, don't tell me you're out of gas again. I guess so. Oh. Well, we'll just have to walk up the hill and down to the well. Well, maybe Mr. Thorpe will turn it on long enough to run enough gasoline out to get us back to town. Ha! Ha! Dale, if that ain't just like a woman, you don't get gasoline out of an oil well. You don't? No! You get it out of a pump at that service station. But we can probably borrow some out of Thorpe's truck, so let's go. Reed wasn't going to tell me that we're shipping tonight, but Roger spilled the beans right off. And we got the report from the well anyway. Well, I'm glad we got something to do. Waiting around here two or three days at a time gets you sort of goofy. Well, Joe, I guess we can't expect the oil company to send out a train every night. They can't pump it out of the ground that fast. Now, this is a better deal than guarding the trucks like Frank does. Hank, if you and Joe really want to keep busy, I have a project for you. Some of my friends in town wanted to come out and see the oil well in operation. Ha! Ha! That's a laugh. I thought maybe you boys could install a pipe and a small feeder tank, and if anyone wants to see the well operating, we just turn it on. That's quite an idea. Wouldn't take long to rig it. Uh-oh, company. Look at that, B. Have your guns ready, boys. Mine are always ready. Who is it? Dale Evans and Pat Brady, Mr. Thorpe. We're out of gas. Come in. Oh, this is a surprise. I told you I'd get in touch with you when there was something to see out here. Well, Pat and I had a little time on our hands this afternoon, and, well, we didn't think you'd mind. Well, I don't mind, but... We ran out of gas on the other side of the knoll. Can we borrow some out of one of your tank trucks? Oh, uh, the tank trucks are out on a run, but Hank, why don't you go back with these folks and see if you can start their car for them? Sure, Thorpe. Come on, folks. Uh, the little beauty ain't going to start without gas. Well, siphon some out of my big car. It's in the shed down where the road ends.  Great, none. Come on, come on, let's get going. Well, as long as we're here, Mr. Thorpe, aren't you going to show us around? Like I told you, there's nothing to see. But I thought an oil well would be much dirtier than this. Yeah, and it's the first oil well I ever saw with just the derrick. No pipes coming out of the ground or anything. You two were sent here to snoop. Cover them, Joe. I had them covered from the time you opened the door. Get those hands up. Hey, wait a minute. Well, Mr. Thorpe, wait, wait. Take their guns, Hank. I'll bet Roger sent you out here to find out something. Well, maybe you found it out, but you're never going to tell him about it. Easy there, Trigger. Tom, I wish we could have gotten in touch with Dale and Pat. I can't imagine what delayed them. Well, they couldn't have gotten back to Mineral City much before 6. And if we hadn't pulled out by 6.30, the train would have beat us here. Look, Roy, there's the engine headlight. It's rounding the curve. All right. As soon as it passes us, we'll ride up the edge of the track and swing from our horses on to the train. Listen, Roy, that's not the train. It's one of those trucks. We're directly across from that stand of Eucalyptus trees. And that's the other one. Yeah. They'll pull into the road as soon as the engine passes. Stand in the shadows until there's no chance of the beam picking us out. I don't know why we just didn't board the train when it left the wells. Your whole crew would have known about it, Tommy. And one of them would probably have tipped off the hijackers. Yeah, that's right. They evidently knew exactly when the train was going to leave. Let's go, Trigger. Get out, greedy. Can you make it all right, Tom? Sure thing, Roy. Easy now, Trigger. Right alongside your boy. You follow us. Ready, Tom? Right. Let's go. Well, Hoppin' trains is a little out of my line, but I made it. We can see the road from between the cars. Look, one of the trucks is drawn alongside. They make it out pretty well in the lights of the rear truck. It's an oil truck. And they're getting ready to hijack a load from your tank car. But if the train doesn't stop, well, they've got a pretty fair acrobat aboard that lead truck too. Watch it. Hey! Is he going to jump from the catwalk of the truck to the catwalk of the tank car? He's going to try it. And he's going to drag that hose with him. Now, watch it. Why, George Roy, he did it. Hey, he's working on that seal like he knows his business. Look, he's got it off, and he's passing the hose to the valve. Sure, and the oil will siphon from the train right into the truck. You'd have to see it to believe it, Roy. It's like refueling a plane in midair. Well, that's the principle. And I'd better go talk to that fella. But Roy, if you get out in the catwalk, the lights of the rear truck will pick you up. I'll have to crawl over the top and try to get my arm around his neck. Maybe I can persuade him to talk. Well, be careful, Roy. It's slippery. Well, there are footholds. And if that hijacker can stick on, I guess I can. All right, fella. Got you. Talk faster. I'll throw you off here. Hey, let go of me. Let go of me. I'll let go of you. As soon as you tell me who owns those trucks, who are you working for? Hey, you're Roy Rogers. None of your business. And you'd better answer my question. Better forget the whole thing. The boss was thinking he might be around. He's ready for you. The boss is old Dave Thorpe, isn't he? Sure. He's following in the rear truck. And if he sees anything going wrong, he's got your girlfriend and Pat Brady right where he wants. What? Tighten that cab. Ain't planning to fill that truck tonight. We're just using it for kind of a scout car. Well, I can't let anything happen to deal with Pat. If you're smart, you'll drop off this train before I finish this job and tell the boss what happened. All right, fella. You win. I'll get off the train. Back to Roy in a minute. But don't forget those sugarcrisp puppets. For 35 cents and one sugarcrisp box top, get either handy dandy or candy. Or all three puppets, plus theater for only $1 and three box tops. Send money in box tops to sugarcrisp. Box 86, 69, Chicago 77, Illinois. And remember, as a cereal, it's dandy. Or snacks, it's so handy. Or eat it like candy. Post sugarcrisp. Roy Rogers surprises a gang of thieves in the act of transferring oil from a moving train to Dave Thorpe's tank trucks. But he's forced to retreat when he learns that Thorpe has Dale and Pat bound in the rear truck, waiting for a sign of trouble ahead to wreak his vengeance on them. We'll have to hop off, Tommy. Why, Roy? What went wrong? I'll tell you later. Let's go. Trigger. Trigger boy, come here. Travel, Roy. Plenty of it. Pat and Dale were tied in the rear truck with Thorpe. Good boy, Trigger. Here we are, speedy pilot. Mount Tommy, we'll swing on to the road and follow the rear truck. I'll tell you what to do. And the minute they draw the hose back, we'll go into action. There. Now you know the whole secret of oil well. Yeah, pretty slick, Thorpe. And pretty rotten, too. Thank you to good job, boss.  Not tonight. Won't be time before the road branches off from the track. Well, that's the last 5,000 gallon you'll ever steal, and I'll tell you that. That's for sure. When we get away from you, your rocket's finished. But you'll never get away. You're riding clear through the coast with us, and we'll finish you off there. Oh, where's Roy? Where's Roy? I'd rather expect that Rogers would be around, but without the information which you would have given him, I guess he couldn't quite figure things out. Thanks back on the truck, boss. Hey, they're blinking the lights. They want us to stop. All right, stop that, Joe. Everything looks perfect to me, but you never can lift. Look perfect, Thorpe. Too perfect. You're covered, boy. Don't make a move. Stop this truck, fella. And they're ready for anything. Well, they aren't ready for what's coming now. Roy, that sheet of flame. The front truck's on fire. The boys will be trapped up there. They'll jump out. And they'll get a hot reception when they do. There, patch your loose and hear Thorpe's guns. Keep them covered. All right, turn here.  Busy, fella. You bet it's me. And I'm going to finish what I started on the train. Keep the others covered, Tommy. There's plenty of light to watch. I'll slug with you anytime, Rogers. All right, let's go. You handle yourself on the train better than you do on the ground, fella. I'll handle you anywhere, any... Can't help you. Not with Tommy Reed watching them. Come on, I thought you could fight. Work yourself, Tommy. If you hadn't changed his mind for him. Hey, here's Thorpe and the one they called Joe, Roy. Yeah, Pat and I thought we just marched them over here for a preview of what they've got coming. All right, you other two. Line up with your boss and your friends. You fools. You fools. How'd that truck catch fire? Well, let's say we were lucky. It was a lucky fire, all right, even if you did lose the oil, Tom. Roy saved Pat and me, but these other men might have gotten away. The only thing lucky about it was that Hank left the valve open when he finished stealing the oil. Tom didn't have to ride alongside and open it before he tossed a match in it. What? Yeah. We lost some oil, but I've got to hunch it's the last we'll lose. You're right, Tommy. And I've got to hunch that Thorpe and his friends have found out that the best way to find oil is to drill for it. But the only drilling they'll do for the next 20 years will be the lockstep drill in the prison yard. Before we close, remember that post-sugar crisp is the cereal treat that's fun to eat three ways. And boys and girls, don't forget to send away for handy dandy and candy the wonderful sugar crisp puppets we've told you about. You'll have real fun with them. That's all for now, folks. This is Roy Rogers' send to all of you from all of us. Goodbye, good luck, and may the good Lord take a liking to you. See you next week. Happy trade until we meet again.

The results of this study suggest that health-promoting behaviors are influenced by an individual socioeconomic status, life satisfaction, feelings of loneliness, and perception of health. Those with better socioeconomic status, higher levels of life satisfaction, less feelings of loneliness, and a more positive perception of health were more likely to engage in health-promoting behaviors.

Excellent. So glad to be here for the next 25 minutes or so, because it's a topic that I've been personally tackling with for the past year or so. So, like, how do you build a really, really self-organizing team and maximize your efficiency? So, maybe just start with the entire discussion. I like to ask Christa. You're building one of the fastest growing companies from over here that has scaled amazingly in the past four years or so. So, like, why in general, why do you think that this way of working, like very bottom-up way of working, is the way to go? That's an excellent question. And we work in an industry that is developing extremely rapidly. We serve some of the largest online advertisers and the most demanding online advertisers globally, and at the same time, we work with Facebook who is innovating faster than I think anyone else in the industry. So, because of that industry, we need to maximize our product development speed. And I believe that only thing to make it happen is to have decision-making on the lowest possible level within the people that actually knows exactly what the problems are doing, and it can implement and solve those problems, especially in software. And that's why I think it's essential to not to build any bureaucracy or any hinders to decision-making and keep the decision-making and the autonomy within the teams. And when was it when you had the first time to start thinking about this actually, like, how do we work? So, it's interesting. This is for startup, and we failed miserably with all the others. And then when we found product market fit with Smartlin 2013, already at that point, we were working with the clients in a very similar way than we do now. And I think that was the sole reason why we were able to find product market fit and make our customers extremely successful even in the early days. Full-stack teams working together, cross-functionally from sales and development and building things straight with the customers and making decisions every day about what to build and what to ship. How about Niklas? You have Blancrocy working at the moment, but when was it for you that you needed to start thinking about how you actually work together? That's a good question. I think so the first two years we grew from four founders to 20 people. And I think this time you don't need to think that much about culture or organization because everyone is just doing everything, but as soon as you start growing the team and you have like three to four new people joining every month or every quarter, you realize that you have to do a better job really communicating the way you work and the way you want to make decisions to the new people. And I think for us, very interestingly, it's like one thing we learned is that culture develops if you want it or not.  And if you don't really codify them, document them, it's pretty hard for new people to understand how you actually want to operate. So once we started growing and realized that there was a lot of un-clarity for new people, how we actually want to run the company, we started really looking, going step back saying what are actually our values, what are our principles and really write them down and make them part of the onboarding process for every new employee. And is there something you would do differently now if you would go back those three years or so? I think yes, I would think about writing down values and principles much earlier and spend much more time during the onboarding of a new employee to really explain the values, explain why they developed in a specific way and probably even give more examples how they can be applied in the day-to-day life instead of just assuming that everyone just will get onboarded by themselves by just observing how the company works. Michel, before Obvious Ventures, you were at Patagonia, which is probably, if you look at 10, 15 years ago, already back then the leading company in working this like a very mission-driven way. So how on earth was it possible that a big company with thousands of employees was able to work with such a like, well, focused on the mission? Yeah, so Patagonia is a great example of a company with a very authentic purpose and an aligned culture. If you look at Patagonia's purpose, it's about building the best product with least harm and using business to inspire solutions to the environmental crisis. So the purpose has been designed in a way that first portion of the purpose is going to keep you in business, which is building the best product. And then second portion of the purpose is why are you doing, why are you in business? So there is means to the end and end is solutions to the environmental crisis. And what is very important when companies are starting purpose or authentic purpose is all about what people are thinking about in an organization. Why are they doing what they're doing? And so it should reflect that. And also when you are hiring people, you should be hiring people who believe in the culture, the purpose which is getting cemented. Most important is at Patagonia was that you are always walking the talk. A lot of companies will put posters all across the company, but that doesn't really do anything because it's not authentic. So Patagonia was a great example of alignment of authentic purpose and aligned culture. Could you give an example of what that in practice is if it's not like posters on the wall, but how does it come to life when decision making, being at the office? So if I take the first portion, which is making the best product, Patagonia has had a history of innovating around that whole idea with the least harm. So they were in 1980s, they decided that cotton was not, had a very negative environmental footprint. And so they moved the whole business towards organic cotton. They came up with this, they innovated using soda pop bottles to make fleece. When they're opening up a store, they try to rehab old buildings so that it's a gift given back to the community they're serving. If you think about their catalogs, they are designed in a way that people are not only buying from it, it's like a magazine they want to read. So a lot of these things happen at the company which are aligned with this idea of build the best product with least harm. Similarly, on the other side, which is kind of using business to environmental crisis, the company gives 1% of revenue and 10% of profit, whichever is higher back to environmental causes. They have launched a whole non-profit called 1% for the planet. They've inspired by this whole vision or purpose. They came up with a very successful advertisement campaign in Thanksgiving. Do not buy our jackets, which for a commerce company is an interesting idea. So the key message here is that all your actions should be reflected in alignment with what your purpose is. Next up, I'd like to spend time on the founding blocks for this self-organization to work. The culture, the people, communicating the clear purpose. Maybe actually starting with Christo, you've written one of my favorite pieces of servant leadership, each and every one of you should go and check that out on the smart place website. One of the things you wrote there was about how your leaders, team leaders need to be very, very aligned with the purpose of where you're going. How do you in practice make sure that all the leaders within your team are aligned? What do you do on a weekly or a monthly basis to align everyone? It's a huge question and you can put it to different pieces, but first of all, everyone needs to understand the mission, the vision we have to make online, growing customers online easy, efficient and enjoyable. Everyone needs to understand that that's the core and what it means in practice. Then the second is that everyone we hire needs to believe in that. It needs to believe in that mission, but needs to also be able to work and understand and enjoy our culture and our ways of working. So it doesn't matter whatever you do after, if you fail on these two things, I think whatever you do, how well you document what processes you build, it doesn't make any difference, you'll fail. So those hire and then people believing in the mission and that being widely understood. But then after that I think for us as a leadership team and all the team leads, the core is to help everyone else to be successful. We always should have a better person to do sales, coding, marketing or something else within the team. We always think about hiring to elevate the team, not to delegate things. So then the role of team leads and us is building the infrastructure, building communication structures, building documentation, building data, where people can see how they're doing. And that in practice happens by many ways. One is that every Monday morning we gather the whole company in our eight offices in different time zones in US, Asia and in EMEA. We gather together and we talk about the context and the topics and share our learnings. On Friday we do the same. We demo what has changed in our product and then our salespeople gives feedback. And after that session the salespeople and developers gets together to solve those problems because developers build something that salespeople are not able to sell or understand or vice versa. And then it goes on and it goes on on higher half annual levels. We go for an offsite for a week, the whole company somewhere hopefully warm, where we share all the learnings and build the processes, how we do sales, how we code, how we do marketing, how we hire all of this. So it's very far from self-organizing in a sense that you have a huge infrastructure supporting that. But then the teams can actually focus on what they do best. And our leadership role is to equip the teams. Yeah. There's a question here that I would have taken anyways next. Niklas maybe you can start, but feel free to comment afterwards. So a lot of talk about hiring the right people. But so what do you exactly do in the process of hiring the people to know that they will fit? Or do you fail many times? Yeah, I think it's pretty hard to really say 100%, to be 100% sure when you hire a person if the person will fit. Because I think there's like just so much information you can acquire during an interview process. But I think there's some techniques you can use or processes you can use to get to a level of confidence that you say, okay, I'm able to make this decision. So we spend a lot of time really making sure that the person fits the culture and has the same beliefs as we have and is really buying it into our purpose as a company. So I think the first step is always kind of like making sure that the person has the experience and the skills that are needed. And we spend a lot of time really nailing down the qualifications and the criteria that we're looking for before we actually start hiring so that we can really say, okay, this is what we need. Does this person bring this? And once we get a good feeling about the experience and the skills, then we spend most, like two-thirds of the hiring process then it's really cultural fit. So we kind of like really use our values in mind and ask questions around to understand, is this person believing in self-organization? Is this person believing in transparency? Do this person as examples from previous jobs where they really champion transparency or self-organization? All these things and really make sure that we have a feeling, okay, this person is not only believing but as well as has shown in the past that they keep up these values. And then the last step, we have a day at Blinkus. So we fly in every person that we want to hire. So the last round is always in our office in Berlin. So we never hire over Skype. And then the person comes in for like a round of interviews meeting different people from different teams so that we get a lot of perspectives. And then we have a decision round where everyone who was involved in the interview process comes together and shares their kind of like feedback on this person. What's important though is there's always one decision maker. So it's not a consensus decision in the end where we say, okay, 50% yes, 50% no. But like one person is making the decision in the end is taking all the feedback from all the other people into account and then come up with a like decision if we want to hire the person or not. And then the second part which I think is important is so you have a probation period of three to six months for example and you should really use this as a trial phase and really understand this as a trial phase. So making sure that the person gets up to speed as soon as fast as possible but as well be very honest and have like a lot of feedback loops within the first three months and see is this really working out? Is this person fulfilling our expectations or not? And if not then, oh wait, you should part ways very soon and just like go back to the hiring process. Other tips for Vishal? Yeah, I think especially for entrepreneurs I think when you are starting a new company if you are three or four founders basically you are from day one whether you write it or not you're building a culture. Right? And then good entrepreneurs they make sure that first 50 people they are interviewing themselves and they are hiring the best people who fit with that culture and that purpose, the journey they are on. At certain point the culture becomes so solid that in case of Patagonia that if somebody was not excited about outdoors was not into environmentalism would not fit or would not even send their resumes or for some reason if they got in the company within two weeks they'll realize like they don't fit here because it had a uniqueness to it, right? So that's what successful organizations do really well and so I think I'll encourage all the entrepreneurs sitting here is to think about their culture from day one as they are thinking about their product market fit because that's what's going to help them scale their company. Right. Christa, what have you learned from hiring? Fully agree on all the points and either help to scale or fail the company and in a lot of the words that whether you put effort or not building the culture the culture builds itself but you can adjust and you can build a culture systematically and I think the culture as many famous people have said but culture is strategy for breakfast and it's the most important thing because that defines really how you work with your customers, how you build the product how you work together with your people and every culture is unique and you need to be able to build it to make your company successful in the environment with the people in the company and hiring is the most important thing and I think there is no such person in the world that would not do mistakes with hiring, it's impossible the amount of variables that you need to take into account in your personality versus the company is so huge that you cannot know in beforehand whether it works or not with full certainty I think we are getting better I think we are at 85-90% hit rate in the sense that they are culture fits and that's exactly the reason why we for example wrote our culture handbook we documented for the people that are thinking to work at smartly whether this is the right place or not and the best outcome is that someone comes and tell that smartly is not the right place I shouldn't waste your time, I shouldn't waste my time applying but people very often don't know they don't understand what makes them to drive what makes them efficient, in what environment and what kind of people they enjoy the work so I think that's the hardest part in an interview process to try to understand that both ways I think one more point I want to make is a lot of times again entrepreneurs focus on hey this person is a rock star and has an amazing credential but they forget I think is this person passionate about what you are doing so it's important that you give more credit to whether the person is going to drink each sleep with your mission in mind and even if they are like 20% less than that rock star I think you will do much better as an organization if you hire those kind of folks one pattern we found is what we try to look for is people with a gross mindset so it doesn't mean that the person has to grow as a person really ambitiously but I think they need to believe that they can develop themselves and not come and say this is who I am and I can't improve in any area so we try to really kind of like you can call them rock stars or whatever just people who think of themselves that they can acquire new skills that they can learn new things as well and of course taking the challenge and grow and on the more concrete level we also talk about humble hungry hunters and that's really the profile and you need to be very humble to get feedback to learn from our customers from the colleagues from the industry because otherwise you will stop developing and then you need to be extremely smart or selecting the right fights and be able to manage yourself and it's really hard combination it's really really hard combination that can survive and thrive because you need to be we bring the data available and we are going how we do on product adaption or sales or something else but then the people within the teams need to pick that data, that context and set their priorities and drive those priorities forward and not even within their own team but cross functionally so they need to sell actually the idea to other functions other people gather that group together let them to drop whatever they were working and prove that this is more important so that's those kind of people it's really hard to find and they are they are cold, gold they are humble, hungry hunters if we are able to find but it's really really hard I am going to take those three H with me it's excellent I like it too and hunt there's quite a lot of questions from the audience on Holoocracy and to end this discussion with I'd really like you to share the experience that you shared with us when we met last summer on like how you tried it out try to explain it briefly we wrote a couple of blog articles about that so if you want to go deeper you can do this later so we got very inspired by the idea of self-organization through discovering Holoocracy actually and I think 2014 we experimented with Holoocracy implemented it and kind of like something we called Blinkercie which was a Holoocracy library say we take the best parts we don't take everything but we take the best parts and make it kind of like you apply knowing as a team and realize actually Holoocracy is creating more problems for us as a team then it actually solves and one of the main issues we found around Holoocracy although the basic concepts are pretty good I think one of the problems is that Holoocracy is a concept and a brand name at the same time which means that everyone can Google Holoocracy and there are like 20 blog articles and every blog article just grabs Holoocracy in a different way so what suddenly happened is that we had an onboarding people on the system so that people were I think the main point where we realized that we have to get rid of Holoocracy in a way we have to do something different I was sitting in a meeting and we were discussing so we were discussing about a problem and people were asking how do we solve the problem with Holo, like in Holoocracy instead of saying how should we solve the problem and this was like okay so I think the system became way too dominant the system must go okay what are the principles of Holoocracy we liked for example self-organization transparency having roles instead of job descriptions all these things and we said we keep that but we put it into a new framework which we call the blinkest operating system which is basically a set of values a set of guiding principles and just like a really handful of core processes how you create a role how you create a team for example and that's what we set as a framework as a foundation they can do governance they can do tacticals what Holoocracy recommends but they don't have to it's like really up to them so I think for us the big learning was here is that it can be very tempting to take like a out of the box solution because it seems to be really easy to apply but actually you should think like and it's like we said it's like you have to create your own culture you should think what's important for me and then put it in your own words control the narrative and then do a good job explain there I think it's not working now we're out of time for the audience each and every one on the stage these guys have written awesome pieces on how they're building their companies or what they're seeing as investors so please go and check them out you're going to learn a lot more thank you thank you
