Welcome, sir and batch mates. We'll be discussing upon the strategic perspective for a seed company. So touching upon the points that have been discussed already in the session that was taken by sir. So the first thing is to reduce the rate of defection. So how we could like keep the customers with ourselves. So the first thing that goes around with it is making good relations with the dealer. To assure that we'll have our representatives like go to the dealers and share our like the company's values with them so that they feel connected every time. And we can also we'll also promote a traders connect or a meeting program with all the traders of that area. And moving ahead the farmer help centers like if if a farmer is purchasing seeds from any of our companies from any trader. And if he's like facing any problem about any technical specification or how to apply it. So a farmer's help center will assure eliminating any kind of like any trouble while implementing those seeds. And as well as the extension services like just to support if the farmer like needs any assistance with that. So all these three points can like contribute towards capturing the farmers here. Definitely. And about increasing longevity. Abhinav. Yes. Okay sir. Oh talking about the longevity of for any any company or any farmer on any relation. We are talking about four tier system the four tier system in which we have arranged it horizontally and not vertically where there will be seed company and wholesalers then traders and then farmers. We are trying to grapple all of them into a thread where the farmers the traders the wholesalers will be the pearls of the company and we will interact with them as. Family and not as partners or something like that. So the veteran purpose of the capacity of the farmers will be used to have to cure the quantity that are used by the general the farmers. So first of all, I'll put light upon farmer engagement program as we engage farmer and as we call them by the name to feel that we are engaged with them we are combining their heart and we are we are. So we are several engagement programs like recreational programs can be there we can fall upon their family we can go to their house and interact with them. So it will somewhere increase the longevity both from the farmers and both and also from the company and then free sample distribution. The first step that is the free sample is the first step of moving to anyone's heart is to reduce the financial instability. Hello to reduce the financial instability and that we can and to build a trust we can give free sample if you like it, please come to us will provide you the more. So first of all, we'll give the free sample free sample to farmers, which will ultimately build a bond that can go forever and hence will increase the longevity of our company. And third one is eating at the input services whether they are bio herbicides whether they are pesticides or anything that is related to completely related to seeds and completely nurturing of seed for us our company will only happen if we are helping them with several purposes like giving them the particular quantity and telling them about the proportion that is generally needed. Thank you sir. Now my batch mates will move upon with the slide. Two minutes, last two minutes, please. Next slide. The next strategy for customer relationship management is enhanced share of wallet. It's not just we need customers loyalty. We also need to grow the wallet share by introducing multiple products and services to generate as much as revenue as possible from each of the farmers. And we can do this thing by giving them discounts in the seed come products by giving them combo offers for the varieties of seed they're taking maybe for vegetables or for seeds by giving them reward points. If the farmer is coming, it's a continuous farmer, we will provide them reward points so that he can engage more with the company and also dealer credit services because most of the time during the input buying the seed the farmers don't have that much of money to buy the input. So we will provide them with credit services so that they can understand that this company realizes their scarcity of money and they understand that after harvesting they will pay. So that's a trust building we will do with them. I'll ask my team member to continue. Fantastic. Last minute, please. Another point is focusing more on the high profit customers. While we are focusing more on the high profit customers, we are actually focusing on the profit of our company. And the points that we have here are like farmers reward program and felicitations. Actually, while we are giving felicitations to the farmers, we are actually gaining a position in their heart and also we are also including many social services and social services teams for the farmers that will benefit them. And another thing is like highlighting the farmers testimonials and we will be sharing and we will be taking interviews and opinions from the farmers and their stories and we will be sharing on different platforms. Which will be a good thing for the farmers as well as which will be focusing our company itself. And another retailer's appreciation program will be conducting many appreciators in which the retailers will be appreciated and they will be feeling good to be a part of our company as well. Thank you. That's phenomenal. Done. Great job. Congratulations team. Team 4, right? Team 4. Yes. Team 4. Thank you very much. That's phenomenal. You touched every point of CRM. You talked about relationship and engagement. I love that point of engagement. How do you engage? And the customer connect. You want to be connected with the customer. You want to touch their hearts.  Where you can get more balance sheet and all. Congratulations. Thank you.


Hello everyone. Thanks for watching. First off, I know there are way more important things to be talking about right now And I'm gonna get to those things But this channel's purpose is exposing Democrat state media and discrediting them so they can no longer operate as Trustworthy news organizations and honestly, I just cannot stand this guy and love any opportunity to call out his hackery Miguel Marques a guy that claims to be a just-the-facts reporter But is obviously just a left-wing Democrat operative there to protect the narrative to protect Democrat power and to smear Anything that stands in the way even if it's freedom or as they like to mockingly call it Free dumb over on Twitter the only thing that media watchdog Tom Elliott Founder of Graby and media did was simply post a clip of Miguel in his own words attacking the freedom convoy protesters and Mocking the idea of protesting for freedom. We're gonna get into this more But first just give me 30 seconds to tell you about this special offer from C60 Evo Nothing is more important than our health because of this I recommend C60 Evo C60 Evo has been a part of my daily routine for a while now and I gotta tell you I love the increased energy and the increased mental focus, which you may have noticed in my videos Here's why you should at least try C60 Evo's olive oil product. It's manufactured right here in America It's based on Nobel Prize-winning chemistry and it's supported by peer-reviewed published research Including a longevity experiment where the test subjects received the C60 Evo formula lived 90% longer than the control group So go to my link in the description or pin comment and take advantage of a 20% savings by going on subscription You can cancel at any time and make sure to use the promo code drone tech to get an additional 10% off Are there concerns that protesters may come back and they're not done causing these disruptions? Sorry to burst in really quick The absolute in-your-face gaslighting on display here is just too much to let go We all know that CNN and other Democrat state media outlets always run defense for left-wing groups and their mob violence CNN for example is famous for their fiery, but mostly peaceful BLM riots In Laura what you're seeing behind me is one of multiple locations that have been burning in Kenosha, Wisconsin Over the course of the night what you were seeing the common theme that ties all of this together is an expression of anger and frustration That doesn't even scratch the surface, but you get the idea now in regards to the entirely peaceful freedom protests to lift Restrictions and mandates so that people have more freedom and don't have to live in a dystopian society in regards to those protests This CNN host is worried about disruptions the network that said quote Who said that protests were supposed to be polite or peaceful in defense of left-wing violence is now worried about Disruptions from these entirely peaceful people are their concerns that Protesters may come back and they're not done causing these disruptions. Yeah, most definitely that is the main concern in the immediate future for police here This started off as an anti-vaccine protest and it was anti mandate now sort of generically anti-government all wrapped in this sort of notion or the guise of freedom you know whatever that means to these individuals basically they want exactly what they want which is all those restrictions gone So that because they believe that they're just They're just not necessary to the public at large back to you Gee, I wonder which side of the issue this stoic just the facts newsman falls on It's a complete mystery after posting this on Twitter Miguel grabbed his box of wine and his Kleenex and sat down to respond to the fascist right-wing Nazi who posted it saying quote right-wing trolls still added a Chopped quote to make a cheap point typical. They don't react well to being called out Canadian protesters Using freedom to try and achieve their anti-vax Pandemic denying anti-government goals. It's more like tyranny of a loud minority He's calling out the freedom convoy protest how brave of him where to start for one He accuses a legitimate critic of being a right-wing troll for posting a clip of his own words to he claims that the clip was Chopped up when in fact it shows the full clip and context three He attacks these protesters for quote using freedom to try and achieve their anti-vax Pandemic denying anti-government goals. It's more like tyranny of a loud minority. That's not the response of a reporter That's the response of a propagandist who's highly invested in his narrative His entire whining rant was a straw man. These protesters are not anti-vax their anti-covid shot mandates and restrictions They aren't denying any pandemic. They just want to get on with their lives Just like it seems the rest of the world is now doing so who's really part of the loud minority here and the last one here Oh, no the nerve of protesters protesting against government goals Protesters are never supposed to do that, right? No actually That's exactly the point of protesting when Republicans are in power and the left or Democrats protest against them They're protesting against Republican government goals But no doubt this hack lacking any self-awareness sees it as completely different when his side does it because those are government goals That he disagrees with case in point when it came to violent left-wing mobs who were a very loud and violent minority Miquel Marquess here had nothing but slobbering defense and support for them even when those violent mobs attacked his own Cameraman even when those violent mobs attacked him Oh Good Tyler what they do There was a video shared on Twitter of Water bottle being thrown at your crew on one occasion. This seems like it was protesters trying to trying to create trouble This was a story that went viral in right-wing media Frankly, they claim CNN was covering it up, which is ridiculous, but but tell us what happened tells what happened Miguel I cannot blame them for being angry, but you know a lot of people are very angry Suspicious of the press the corporate media all those things come into it at these places and it was just one of those situations that It was intense There were people who were angry at everything and everybody and we happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time Yeah, when it came to those openly violent left-wing mobs He understood their anger their anger was based on cherry-picked stories and carefully omitted data put out by his employer So it was different when they do it and his job is to rationalize that on the air All right, that's all I have for that one. Thanks for watching if you enjoyed it Please hit that like button it really helps the video and leave a comment to let us all know what you think


The Rangers and the Bruins got into a lot of fights the other day. My Twitter blew up. Everyone wanted me to break it down. I'm just looking at the second period because there was so much going on. And this one's brought to you by DraftKings. Go to DraftKings. Download the app. Use promo code JOMBOY. Sign up.  Create some enemies. Play sports. So Lemieux, number 48 on the Rangers. He's going to hit the dude from behind here. Bam. Squares him up right in the back. Can't do that. Puts him up against the boards in a weird position. Here's another look. So he's going to go to the penalty box and get told to think about what he's done. Come out a new man. Then they keep playing. Later on, this happens. And that's kind of a weird, awkward thing. But number 73 on the Bruins doesn't like it at all. So now they're going to go at it.  And then a big missed left right there. And then another missed right. Three punches, nothing but air. Skates away as if he connected on all three though.  Come at me. McEvoy says, I was, I don't know. That was, I guess that wasn't worth it. Then Lemieux and Frederick go at it right away. They drop gloves, but they leave the helmets on. And we got some elbows. We got some body shots getting blocked. A lot of punches. A lot of big swings. So when you slow it down, not a lot of things landing. So that's like to the helmet. Then that's kind of to the helmet and a body shot by Frederick. That one's really cool because Frederick pulls his jersey out and then punches the webbing of the jersey. Bad strategy by him had a line to the face. Missed it because the jersey got taught. So now we're going to get an elbow. Frederick's elbow to Lemieux's face. Bam, smash. That's his best piece of contact in this whole thing. And then that's Lemieux's right there. That's a fun one. So let's see it again. They both square up and Lemieux gets them right in the face. He gets them to the face first. And that's kind of the biggest of this battle. Who's this Frederick kid on Boston? Obviously, I don't know nothing about hockey, but he looks really young. And who's Lemieux on the Rangers? Nice body shot by Frederick. Lemieux on the Rangers looks fun or like a past, but like a fun past if he's on your team. I don't know. You guys tell me. Everyone's cheering and clapping, but Frederick's not done.  Yeah, he's not happy.  Lemieux's just laughing. Frederick's mad. He looks like he's 12 years old. Woo, big woo. Let's go again. I think is what he says there. Another, oh, badass helmet spin into another woo.  And then again in the third period, now we got two other dudes, they're going at it for that reason, and they're just throwing. I don't know who this dude on the bruins is, but he's just throwing. He lands some good ones, I think, even in slow-mo. It's a little too fast to see. Can't reach, can't reach. Body shot, kind of weird. I think that one might have clipped him. That one's in the back of the neck. I don't know what's going on. These guys were just fine. I didn't even look into the third period because there's just so much. I heard they were going at each other in warm-ups. There was too much to even look at. I couldn't even look at it all. But we're going to have Lemieux again, kind of the star of this whole thing.  He's like, all right. I guess he's really mad at me. I'll probably just head in then. And that's it. I mean, that's probably not it. I guarantee you, I missed a lot. I guarantee you there was more that I didn't catch that happen. But you guys tell me too much happened. I think if I did every single scrape and brawl from that entire game, it would have been like a 10-minute video. Rangers, Bruins, DraftKings. Download the app. Use code JOHNBOY. Have fun. That's always important.


So good morning everyone. Our next speaker today in Ham Village is Jason W2LDU here to talk to you about the RF Dark Arts. Let's give him a big warm Ham Radio Village. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you. All right. I'm going to give you a little bit of an overview of how I came into Ham Radio in the past year or so and then give you a little demonstration of SDR and sort of how to find things on SDR and we'll go from there. So what's my background? I identify as a hacker. I joined a local hacker space about seven years ago. Started my surround with Arduino, wiring stuff. I'm an amateur photographer. So I have a decent background in electronics and stuff. But radio just always seemed like magic to me. There's a lot of different things in radio that just don't make sense. Throwing together a bunch of coils of wiring and capacitors coming from Arduino doesn't seem like it would do much. So a few years ago I started going on some road trips with friends and we wanted to communicate easier within the car. Sort of figure out rest stops and entertain ourselves, that sort of thing. And I got a GMRS license and this is a test-free radio license. You apply online. It's $70 and you keep it for 10 years and you get a lot more use out of it than say the Motorola family radios. You can go much higher power. You can use repeaters to have a much higher range. And this was sort of my stepping stone. An easy way to play around with radio and be able to transmit without having to take a test. But GMRS still isn't very good. It's sort of a niche radio service that's mainly used for families. The license actually covers your direct family. So everyone in your household, cousins, and step whatever. But a lot of people use it for hunting or off-road. And there are large areas of the country that just don't have repeaters where you would have to stay within maybe 10 miles of each other to be able to talk. So I said, I think I should just get an amateur radio license. There's a lot of places online where you can take practice tests and just get an idea of what they're going to ask you. And I ran through one with zero preparation. And because of my background in Arduino, I got like 50% of it. I was really surprised that a good portion of the test is basic electronics and circuit design stuff that was stuff that I already knew. And the rest of it was like legal requirements and what you can and can't do and basically to keep you out of trouble. There's also a bunch of other resources online. This is a YouTube channel Hammer Radio Crash Course. They have a playlist going through every single question in the test explaining what exactly are they asking? Why is the right answer right? Why are the wrong answers wrong? And this along with just continuing practice tests allowed me to get a 34 to 35 on my test after maybe a month or two of prep. So now what?  The other thing you want to do is listen. The test really doesn't prepare you for how to actually talk to each other and the kind of etiquette that you need to be on the radio. It just tells you like how to not burn yourself on RF and how to not get the feds knocking on your door. There are some other really great local resources. There are HamFest, which is just a large gathering of ham selling stuff, promoting their events. Really great for learning what's around you and what kind of other things are going on that you could participate in. Club meetings can be good. There are a lot of local small local radio repeater clubs. There's probably like 10 or 15 in my metro area that I could choose from.  But there's also much more casual events. So around me there is something called a ham feast, which is basically every Saturday night we would go just pick a random restaurant, go hang out, have dinner, and just be friends rather than talking about business. And then I started getting into APRS. And this is actually a digital packet mode where with your radio you can upload a packet with GBS coordinates, altitude, speed heading, text, what other channel you're monitoring so other people around you can talk to you. And this was really great for me because I went on a few road trips alone and I could just send my family a URL and they could see where I was and didn't require them to have a license or anything. They could just see where I was that day, where I was going. You can also receive packets from repeaters around you to sort of get an idea, lay of the land of what's out there. And you can also see the other people around you that are beaconing and communicate, either connect to them on whatever radio they're monitoring on or, you know, there's a lot of really cool stuff that you can do and see when you have a system that shows a lot of stuff that's around you and on the radio. There's also a program called Ecolink and you can run this on a mobile phone or on a desktop. This allows you to connect to repeaters all around the world. This was really cool because you can bounce around the US, bounce around the world, get an idea of what people are talking about, you know, connect with people back home wherever that may be.  There's a lot of different kinds as well.  They're really good for getting your footing on, transmitting on the radio and getting some questions answered. There's also a lot of emergency services on amateur radio and there are a few near me that can be really interesting to participate in from time to time. One of the recent ones asked, if water went out at your house, think about how long you would be able to stay there and be able to live before you need to bug out to somewhere else. Sort of get you thinking about what happens in an emergency and what things, what preparation you might need to shore up in your own life. So once I got comfortable and had a kidney to sell, I bought an HF radio to try and get out further. This is a map of people that I've heard from my home and this is all on less than 10 watts, which is a tiny amount of power for this kind of distance. We actually have a demo set up using this exact system, WhisperNet, which is meant for long range low power and it's a very interesting way to, you know, be able to say that you've talked to Ottawa. And I learned my lesson when I got into HF. When I first got my license, I just sort of bought every radio I saw that seemed interesting. And I ended up with a bunch of radios that could do mostly the same stuff. But with an HF radio, I really did my research, figured out what exactly I would need to hook it up to my computer to do digital modes. And then once I figured out exactly what I wanted, I got it and it was only, only $700 for the whole kit. But a lot of people might be interested in what you can do without a license. There are lots of websites online that allow you to stream basically anything you could think of. Broadcastify is a great website. They, this is showing on the top left is showing amateur radio repeaters around Las Vegas. So there's, you know, about 10 of them there. And most of these are streaming 24 seven, you can just hop on, click on it, listen like an internet radio station, sort of see what's going on. And then on the bottom, we have DMR radio. And so this is a digital mode for amateur radio. And because it's all digital, it all goes through the internet. And so they've set up websites so that you can just tap in at the source and all these are open to anyone. There's also something called WebSDR. And these are really expensive radio rigs, which allow you to listen to HF in shortwave radio. There's probably about 10 in the US. And it can be used by a lot of people at the same time. So you don't have to kick someone else off to see what's going on. And this can be a really cool way to sort of dip your feet into HF, or if you are interested in shortwave radio, it has basically every setting that you could think of to be able to listen to whatever is out there. You can also buy $30 SDR, which is what I'll be showing you today. These have a very wide range of receive. So you can get anything from AM or FM radio all the way up to in the gigahertz range, almost up to Wi-Fi. And then you can also get cheap radio for mobile listening on Amazon. But you have to be careful. These can get you into serious federal trouble if you do something wrong. One of the important things with AM radio is knowing where you should and shouldn't transmit and being doubly sure of that because it's a federal thing. So since NSDR can receive a wide range of things, what can it do? Well, like I said, you can listen to almost anything. You can track planes. Planes have a little transponder in them that give, again, GPS coordinates, altitude, heading, radio call sign. This is a very easy setup that can be done for less than $100. And you can see basically any airplane or helicopter that's within 150-200 miles of where you're at. These can be pretty interesting because if you've ever looked at the FlightAware app or website to see what planes are overhead, they filter out some of the more interesting stuff. So with my setup at home, I can see police helicopters if they're circling over something or circling overhead. I've also seen some really interesting military tankers over the Yuma test site with weird call signs like Skull 1 and Skull 2. No idea what that was about, but interesting nonetheless. You can also receive images directly from the space station. This is actually what pushed me to get further into radio. My local hackerspace had an event where we made a Yagi antenna with laser cut plywood and copper tape and used a cheap $5 SDR to pull an image directly off the space station. They do events like this maybe every couple months and they usually do like a whole weekend where they have like 10 or 12 images that they send out one after the other so you can try and receive them all. And I should say these are all images that I received and decoded myself. I'm pretty happy with these. There are also a lot of weather satellites that are up there that aren't encrypted and you can pull data off of them. This one in particular is an amazingly high-res digital geostationary satellite that gives a full disc view of the earth. There are also some older analog ones that will give you sort of swaths of the earth as they rotate as they go around. These can be a little bit trickier especially the geostationary one because it's a little further out, but it's a really amazing challenge and one I hope to be able to get into further. There's also a NOAA weather fax and this is for boats and airplanes out across the ocean that need to know what they're coming up on. This is all in HF and it allows you to decode an image of swells or high winds or stuff like that. This is also something that seems really cool that I'd like to try out myself. There's also a NOAA weather radio. Basically the entire US is covered with this with multiple stations and these are really great for say you're on a road trip and you're going to another state. You can just flip on one of these, see what the weather is like over there. They also give alerts for extreme weather. So this can be a really great resource for knowing what's going on in that realm. All right, and then I'd like to give a demo. So this is the antenna for the SDR. The actual SDR part is a relatively small USB device. This setup is about 10 steps. It's really not that difficult and all the software for it is free. So once we have it set up we can press play and we're receiving radio. Right here as you see sort of in the middle it says FM Broadcast. This is FM radio. I've found that with this setup this is actually one of the best sounding FM radios that I've used. You can also poke around and find air bands. In a moment I'll pull up some websites that will allow you to sort of sort through and figure out stuff local to you. But this whole swath of radio is pretty much airplanes up in the air. Airplanes talking to air traffic control can be very interesting to listen in on. I actually went to the airport to pick someone up a little while ago and it's really fun for me to just sort of drive through the airport and scan through and hear what's going on up in the air just above me. So we can come up to the ham radio band see if we can find anything good going on. It looks pretty quiet today. If we were seeing anything it would give a spike on this top blue line and then at the bottom we would see a varying colors. Oh there's something. Varying colors to show how intense the signal is. All right let's keep going up further see what else we can find. There's also marine band. The websites also have sort of marine band standard channels and then I think that within this space you can sort of just sort of go wherever you want as for point-to-point communication. It's also military air voice. Anything military U.S. government is pretty much going to be encrypted. So talking about legality for a second. Anything that's encrypted you cannot listen to. Decrypting it is illegal but anything out in the open in an FM analog or using a standard digital mode you can listen to that as much as you want. Let's see where else. Up here in the 70 centimeter ham band also looking pretty quiet. We are in a very RF noisy environment down here on the strip so it's going to be a lot harder to pick up things here than it would be say back at Tuscany where I'm staying or wherever you guys are from hopefully. In the five and six hundred well five to eight hundred megahertz range is a lot of police radio ambulance firefighters. I think there's a lot of hotel radio up here. You can poke around a little bit and sort of get an idea of where things are. Radio licenses like that for public service or for private stuff is all on the FCC website. You can actually search by location and figure out stuff that's around you that's transmitting figure out what mode they're in if you can listen to it. It's also pretty interesting. They give you tower locations how much power each transmitter is using. They give you a lot of information on that type of stuff. So here we can see a couple of transmitters. These look to be digital modes. They sort of just look like more intense noise and these require some digital decoding to get any voice or data out of. Using these SDRs there are plugins that you can use to decode digital data and the system that police normally use which is called P 25. You actually need two SDRs running at the same time and that's because they have one channel that basically all the radios communicate with and it tells them where in other frequency ranges that they should be talking.  Looks like there's really not that much out there. So I can show you give you an idea of where to start if you are looking for stuff around you to listen to. So as I said radio reference is a really great resource. They have an enormous list of radio frequencies both current and past for pretty much anywhere. I've pulled up Las Vegas here and you can see it's a pretty big list. They usually break down by county or city and usually on this first page when you click on you'll get all the analog stuff. So if there's any police or stuff like that still on analog you'll see that here. Most places have moved completely to digital and if you actually you can see here that there is a communications council. So it seems like a sort of standard thing. Anyone within a county will set up a county wide radio system where it'll retransmit the relevant stuff to whatever repeaters are around there and so when you click on that you can see the frequencies that this is using and so this list is actually transmitter sites and the one in red is actually the control channel. So that's going to be a lot of digital data and then all of these other ones are where the voice is actually being transmitted. Some of these use this sort of distributed controlled system on analog and you can sort of bounce around between these and listen to what's going on but most of them are digital but this should have pretty much all public safety stuff in the entire county that you can listen to. You can also pull up hotel frequencies. This uses a very similar system. It has sort of different rooms for different uses and I would assume that the hotels are encrypting their stuff so you probably can't actually listen to it but it can be interesting to sort of bounce around. If you don't know what's going on in a frequency or where to look for stuff there's a lot of charts for where the radio waves are allocated. Some of it's amateur radio, military, you just really have to sort of dig in. What I've found is if I find some random transmission on SDR I just put in the frequency in Google and usually it'll bring up something. At least give you a start, put in an FCC, pull stuff up there, that sort of thing. There's actually a pretty good community on Reddit for SDR usage. A lot of these people are doing weather satellite stuff but it's also a decent place for asking for troubleshooting or seeing what issues other people are having. Finally, I found a decent bit of use on Wikipedia. It can be a little hard to navigate but sort of getting an idea of what radio services are called and then looking those up, reading through it, going down to the see also section. Can you lead you down some interesting rabbit holes as far as that goes? All right, I think that's about all I have. I have a couple of SDRs to give away so please find me afterwards if you're interested and tell me something interesting that you'd like to do with it. But that's all I have. Thank you.


Welcome back everyone. This is Coaster Daddy here and today I would like to discuss my recent experience at Kennywood in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania as I got the chance to visit this classic amusement park for the first time in about eight years on July 28th, 2019. Starting off the day here, things weren't the greatest. I and my brother decided to get to the park for the opening and the park actually opens at 10.30 but the rides and stands and everything start to open at 11 o'clock as it says on their website but I was really concerned as we're walking into the park because it's 10.30 and we see absolutely no rides running which that was really concerning to me. I know that Kennywood is known for their bad operations so I was thinking of that as we're going and it's like oh boy they're not even testing the rides yet and the park is opening up with rides supposed to be opening in half an hour. Our strategy was to get into the park head straight for steel curtain so we could get that out of the way and at least get one ride on it because we knew lines would get really long for it. We had an issue with our tickets but we did fairly quickly get through security get in the park and we got into the line for steel curtain at about 10.45 and of course they didn't have actual queue line open yet since the rides weren't opening until 11 but steel curtain along with all the other rides was not testing. Slowly as it got closer to 11 we started seeing some of the rides doing test runs but steel curtain did not do one test run until a few minutes after 11 o'clock. This is the brand new start attraction of the park and they're not even testing it until after opening time which is just absolutely crazy to me. After we saw it first test we didn't see another train for probably another 20 minutes or so so we did finally see another train and then shortly after they opened it up but we waited from about 10.45 until almost 11.30 till they finally opened it up and once they opened the ride up we waited for about an hour and a half as we actually got onto the ride a few minutes before one o'clock and it was pretty hot on this day and you know they have some like small covers over the queue line and everything that you know kind of helped to shade you a little bit but it's pretty hot and the operations were awful here and the line was just moving so slow once it did open and it took forever to finally get it open so it was kind of frustrating but we eventually got on steel curtain and I will be doing a separate review of that later on so I will reserve my thoughts on that ride we did get to ride that which was great and then we went on to ride aero 360 it was actually my first time riding this what a what a great flat ride I love this ride lots of amazing hang time it just flips you upside down and you're just hanging there for several seconds before you finally topple over to the other side and it's great to continue on with our day we ended up going over riding phantoms revenge jackrabbit we basically got on all of the rides that we wanted to a lot of the major stuff my brother really wanted to get on exterminator he loves that ride I think it's a pretty fun wild mouse but the lines get really long for that that was no exception on this day the line was just way too long for us so we never did get to that and we never did racer either neither one of us are the biggest fan of racer it's just kind of boring to be honest it doesn't really do a whole lot even though it's a classic ride there's not really much to it as where the other two wooden coasters in the park they have something that really makes them stand out we rode skyrocket twice which I'm very happy to say is finally back open I'm so glad they got this ride open is a really fun ride and a great coaster for Kennywood so we got two rides on phantom two rides on skyrocket everything else that we rode we got on once the only major coasters that we didn't ride work exterminator and racer I was really happy with the amount of stuff that we ended up getting on because the operations were just horrendous here and lines moved pretty slow they were running one train on a lot of this stuff for a good portion of the day more on that later and it was also pretty busy this day on this sunday that we went it was actually really busy a lot of the lines were pretty long one thing that we were really frustrated with we waited probably a good half hour for phantom's revenge the first time we rode it and when we're in the station and we only have a couple more cycles of the ride left to go until we board the ride they finally decide to put a second train on the ride and this is at three o'clock in the afternoon on a busy sunday like why I just don't understand why they had to run one train on so many of the major attractions here on a sunday in the summer and this was also the case with thunderbolt we rode thunderbolt after phantom's revenge and they were also putting a second train on that while we were waiting in line the operations here were honestly just really atrocious and I've heard a lot of bad things about Kennywood having bad operations so it wasn't that big of a surprise this is something they really need to improve on because overall Kennywood is a fantastic park I've always loved Kennywood and they have a great awesome collection of classic rides and some modern ones and it's just a really unique park but the operations just really can damage your experience here they can make the park just not nearly as fun as it should be we did have fun on this day but it was still just really exhausting because it was so hot and the lines were moving slow we did get a break at one point we went into the 4d theater that they have and that was kind of cool you know they have effects in there you get misted with water and air and stuff like that that was kind of cool and a nice way to escape the heat we didn't eat any food at the park this is one thing I was disappointed to find out about Kennywood is food prices because as I said I've been to Kennywood several times before this but I was a lot younger and the last time I had been here was eight years prior to this my parents would always take us and we would always eat food at the park and it was always very reasonably priced well that's changed now it seems like they've brought in a lot more chain places I noticed a couple chain places there I believe and the food prices just seem to like have gone way up compared to what they used to be so didn't eat any food here they do have their famous potato patch fries which I can say are amazing I've had those several times before so if you're just going to Kennywood for the first time I would suggest trying those of course they have the Noah's Ark which is the only one left in operation in the world I believe to the best of my knowledge it's definitely the only one in the United States for sure so that's really cool I actually got to experience this in its new form I had forgotten that they overhauled this ride or this walkthrough I should say I'm not sure exactly what year it was but they renovated at some point and it's totally different now than what it used to be on the inside but I really liked it it was really nice what they did with it I thought now a couple of major rides here weren't operating as normal or were just closed completely when we were here and what I mean by that is swing shot the sns scream and swing ride that they have was only running one side I don't know what was going on with the other side but they're only running one side on that and then their max air style ride that they have black widow that was closed and somebody was saying that it's been closed for weeks now and a part is broken so I don't know exactly what's going on with that one thing I kind of wanted to touch on in this video too is some of the presentations of the rides could be improved on here definitely a couple of the rides could really use a repaint like really really bad thunderbolt could really use a repaint and phantoms revenge is just looking really not that great it's just kind of getting outdated looking because of the awful paint job that it has it's not an awful paint job I love the color scheme and everything but the paint is so faded and it's chipping away in so many spots and it just looks awful the station is just really really outdated because the station was actually used for laser loop the schwarzkopf shuttle loop coaster that was at the park back in the 80s that was removed for the original steel phantom and then the steel phantom utilized that old station and then the station continued to be used when steel phantom became phantoms revenge so the station is very old and it has not been updated it doesn't have air gates in it there are no gates at all you're just like waiting there and there's just there's nothing in front of you while you're waiting for the train to come in it's just really outdated this ride could really use some tlc I know rampaging rex did a video not too long ago that I watched where he talked about phantoms revenge and how it could use some restoration I think that's a great video I'll link it in the description so you guys can go check it out but yeah I think phantoms revenge could really use some tlc being one of the star attractions of the park and just seeing it looking like this it's kind of sad to be honest but still what a phenomenal ride I mean one of my absolute favorite rides I've been on fantastic I'll be doing a separate review of that ride as well so I'll reserve some of my thoughts on that until later on overall Kennywood is a great park I would definitely suggest going out here and visiting this park it has a pretty solid coaster collection definitely a lot of great classic rides and some good modern thrill rides and a lot that the whole family can do really very beautiful park the operations are bad and that could definitely be improved a lot but I would still see just coming out and checking this park out just be prepared for that thank you guys so much for watching this review of Kennywood let me know your thoughts in the comments below hopefully this review helped you out a little bit in planning

Well, let me just tell you first of all Thank you guys so much for all of the love on last week's weigh-in video where I shared with you that I had an incredibly Busy week. I didn't do the best when it came to my weight loss I did end up losing weight, but it was a rough week this week was certainly equally as busy But like I said, I had last week under my belt So this week was a little bit less stressful when it came to being so busy I was able to manage things a little bit better made much better food choices Stayed within my calories every day But two one of which was my mother-in-law's celebration of life Of course, that was the day that I kind of indulged a little bit Not a lot but a little bit and then I had another day this last week where I was over my calories and by points a little bit But overall I had a much better week So thank you again for all of the support and love on last week's weigh-in video like I mentioned this week Was extremely busy. I have a lot going on with real estate. You know, I just launched my second channel Again, please head over and subscribe. I'd love to have you over there It's worth getting all of the information that you can when it comes to weight loss and nutrition So thank you in advance for subscribing to that channel. So yeah, my week was good. It was just busy I got in my jazzer size. I believe I did three days this last week I had planned for four but last Saturday was canceled because it was an outside pop-up party and our air quality was Horrible like very unhealthy. So she rightfully canceled the pop-up class So I still got in three days So I'd say my week overall was quite a success as I've mentioned many times here on my channel Sometimes we plan to be successful on the program Sometimes we plan our food for the day and then life happens and sometimes unexpected things come up or life comes up And we aren't able to stick with our original plan that goes for pretty much everything in our life from food To exercise to just day-to-day activities Sometimes a wrench is thrown into those well-thought-out plans And I've also mentioned on my channel several times if you fail to plan you plan to fail So make sure that even though your plan may have a wrench thrown into it It's very very important to have a plan daily and kind of how you're gonna operate your life your food your exercise So that is what this week's WW topic is all about and that is to make a plan for unexpected food Unexpected life happens where food that you planned out for the day doesn't actually happen So there are some tips and tricks from WW on how to kind of plan for these unexpected things So we all have our favorite foods the ones that we just can't resist if they're sitting in front of us We can't resist but have them regardless of their calories and smart points. So being on WW we plan for these things, right? We plan to use our weekly points We plan our day around zero point foods so that we have extra points for those Unexpected foods, but sometimes we've used all our points We've used all our weeklies and unexpected food still happens. So what do you do? So instead of mindfully just eating the unexpected food make sure that you do a little check-in with yourself There's three things that you can do to make sure that number one You really want to have that food and number two that eating that food is actually worth it to you Especially if it puts you out of points and out of weeklies So when you're staring at a plate of fudgy delicious brownies Here are three things to do to check in with yourself before indulging number one is lean on Strategies lean on all the things you've learned since you've been on WW lean on the things You've learned over here on YouTube when it comes to weight loss and nutrition and really focus on all of the strategies That you've been taught over your healthy lifestyle journey if those brownies are still calling your names It is completely okay to use your weeklies to indulge in those brownies That's what weeklies are for they're there to be used and I highly encourage that you use them on WW It helps get you a little bit closer to your calorie goal And it makes it so you can indulge in some of your favorite foods without feeling like you're cheating or breaking the rules Or going off of program if you're out of points and you're out of weeklies have a small portion of those brownies It's not going to kill you and completely derail you don't eat the whole plate Just have a small portion so you kind of get that brownie fix and it satisfies your craving and the last tip from WW which I am Sad to say that I disagree with and I disagree with this from a nutrition standpoint a caloric standpoint But WW says fill up on zero point foods throughout the day so that you have points available to eat said brownies Why I disagree with this is you can easily reach your caloric goal for the day on zero point foods And then when you do have those brownies now you're over calories taking yourself out of a calorie deficit hindering yourself from weight loss, so Sorry WW, but I disagree on eating zero point foods all day I think eating mindfully throughout the day is a much better approach still using points Focusing your meals on zero point foods as WW is intended But I completely disagree on eating zero point foods throughout the day to save up for a big splurge later in the day again Taking you out of a calorie deficit and as we know Everyone with me calories in versus calories out is how you lose weight tip number two is look at any alarms So how are you going to feel an hour or maybe two hours after you indulge in those brownies? Maybe you ate the whole plate. Maybe you ate half the plate Maybe you had one But how are you going to feel later in the day about indulging in the brownies if you picture yourself satisfied and content in that craving It's gone great track it and move on if you picture yourself Sorrowing and regret and wishing you would have never eaten those brownies That's the alarm that you need to watch for and maybe that's the alarm that you need to not indulge in the brownies Number three is make a plan. So if these alarm bells are just going off make a plan Maybe it's not best for you to indulge in these brownies right now Maybe the after effect and how you're going to feel is it worth the deliciousness of that plate? Maybe take the brownie to go maybe set a brownie aside for later That way you can mindfully eat the brownie and think about it and plan it into your day a little bit better Instead of just gorging in that plate of brownies. You've planned it out. You've set up a plan You've thought about how you're going to feel after eating the brownie and when we mindfully eat and plan and track And move on it's a much better approach than just mindlessly eating our favorite foods And when you eat that brownie feel good that you made a conscious choice to do so So those are ww's three tips when it comes to Unexpected food and we're all going to encounter unexpected foods sometimes honestly daily Sometimes food that we generally don't eat pops into our life every single day And these three tips are a great way on how to approach it and like I said I don't remember this topic ever being discussed at ww So I'm pretty excited that they reference this because I think it's really really important and again with my Disagreement on zero-point foods we all work ww the way that we want to work ww So if you are someone that can eat zero-point foods all day and still have your favorite foods and see the scale move Then you're doing something right that's just my honest opinion when it comes to overindulging in zero-point foods And then overindulging in foods that are calorically dense and heavy in smart points So that's a recap of this week's ww topic now Let's talk about my way in my week this week was much more successful than last week Even though it was incredibly busy equally as busy as last week I still feel like I made much better food choices I will say that I have been nailing my gallon of water every single day since the beginning of September started So I'm incredibly proud of myself for that my water bottles that I use I will link them down below for you my big gallon bottle and my smaller bottle That really really helps me reach my water intake So I'll make sure I link those bottles down below for you guys super cheap on Amazon So I have been feeling a little bit puffy fluffy bloated, you know, I've been feeling a little fluffy this weekend I don't know why maybe some of the foods that I'm eating have been a little bit higher in sodium So I wasn't really expecting this grand number when I stepped on the scale even though I feel like I did well throughout the week on my exercise in stayed within my points and calories But when I stepped on the scale today, I lost point eight. So that's almost a full pound So even though I feel a little fluffy, I still am down point eight Which is another loss for the month of September. So because I weigh in on Fridays This is actually my final weigh in for the month of September So I will pop here on the screen what my final weight loss was Wasn't quite as much as I was hoping but considering everything going on this month and how hectic and crazy it's been I still finished the month quite strong in my weight loss So I want to hear from you guys. First of all, how was your week this week? Did you gain? Did you lose? Was it what you expected? Secondly, let me know how the month of september went for you and also I want to talk to you guys a little bit about some goals for october We can do that in another video But start thinking about some goals for the last 90 days the last three months of the year If you are a part of my facebook group I have a holiday challenge starting october 1st that will carry us through the end of the year prizes Giveaways support zoom calls.
