This is our world famous top 10 stocks for December 2021. Let's get started right here, right now. Now, if you like these videos, smash the like button, comment down below, share the video everywhere and subscribe if you're alive. I believe our number one pick for the last three months has been a winner after winner after winner. Congratulations to members all over the world. We've had so much success with our top 10 picks. It's been a really tough market to choose 10 picks today. So hopefully we can have and continue our success with our top 10 picks for December 2021. And in number 10, this market is filled with volatility and let me show you what I'm thinking in this volatile market. Here we go. So in number 10, the market is very volatile right now. So I'm putting the VIX in number 10, CBOE volatility index. There's a lot of volatility in the market and you can see here, the VIX is moving. In the last month, the VIX is up 86%. So in the last year, the VIX is up 94%. So the market is starting to get resistance from all time highs. And if you think this momentum continues down or we're going to have this choppy market where the market goes to all time highs comes back down, goes to all time highs comes back down, the volatility index could be a nice play. So put it on your watches, put it on your radar. They're my number 10 pick for December 2021. And let's just take a look at how they're doing today. You can see they're at $27.79, up 20.99%, almost up 21%.  So I wouldn't be buying it at these higher levels where it's clearly getting resistance. This is where I would be selling. But if it dips and dips back down to this, let's just say like around $16 zone, that's where I personally be looking to pick it up. And if we had another correction or drop in the market, we could see it run back up and you can get some nice upside. So they're my number 10th pick for December 2021. In number nine, another volatility trade, UVXY. And you can see it's come all the way down because the market's at all time highs, just coming back from all time highs. So I'm not suggesting you buy it today. It's now at $20, up 19% on the day. This is the ProShares Trust UltraVix short-term futures ETF. And with volatility or downward pressure in the market, we could see these stocks move aggressively. You can see it's up 19% on the day. And let's take a look at UVXY and see what BarChart thinks. So BarChart still has it as a sell. And I'm not suggesting you go and buy this today. You don't chase the green, but if it has a nice big dip and the market seems like it's starting to sell off from all time highs again, you may wanna take a position in a volatility trade or short ETF. And this is one that everyone should have on their radar and have on their watch list. You can see here that over the last few months, it's been trending up, up 38% in the last month because the market is struggling to continue to go higher in all time highs, especially because of this new COVID variant and Fed Powell came out today saying that they're gonna start tapering and potentially reducing the amount of money that the Fed is putting into the markets to stabilize the economy. So because of that, the market is selling off and these volatility trades seem to be good ideas. So those are my top 10 and ninth pick for December, 2021. Now in number eight, so we're gonna get away from these volatility trades and we're gonna get into a Bitcoin ETF. So this is a new Bitcoin ETF. You can see it's only about, not even a month old, it opened up this month. And since it's been public, Bitcoin's kind of been selling off. And because of that, this new Bitcoin ETF, XBTF, has been going down. This is the Venech ETF Trust, Venech Bitcoin Strategy ETF. They are my number eighth pick for December, 2021, XBTF. They've been a lot higher. You can see here when Bitcoin was higher, you could see it's been as high as 61. It's been a little lower when Bitcoin was dropping to about 53. It hit 55. It's right now it's sitting at 56.70. I think this is one of those assets you just buy on dips. Historically, Bitcoin over its history has gone up and every dip has been a buying opportunity in Bitcoin's history. And I believe that trend will continue. So I think that this is a good trade idea at these levels are lower, the Bitcoin ETF, because I believe that Bitcoin will continue to grind higher over time. So put this on your radar, put it on your watch list. My number eight pick for December, 2021, and it is XBTF. It looks like this. And let's just see what bar chart says. So you can see it hasn't really had any success yet because Bitcoin has been trending down and it has almost no information because it's pretty much brand new. So they're my number eight pick for December, 2021. In number seven, I wanna give a shout out to Kashi, one of our members of our trading club. He brought this pick to our community. And I love Lithium and I love Lithium stocks. This is a newly listed Lithium stock on the NASDAQ L-I-T-M. Shout out to Kashi for the pick. He brought the pick in our trading club yesterday and I had to give him some credit for it. You can see here, it's been up as much as, I guess it came public on the 19th. So hasn't been public long, like let's say two weeks, less than two weeks. And you can see here, it's been as high as $18, been as low as, let's see here. It's been as low as, it's been as low as about $7. Let's just say it's been as low as $6.43. I think that would be a great entry point. Currently it's 750 and I love Lithium with the electrification of electric vehicles being a major mandate for governments all over the world. I think Lithium stocks should be in huge demand. This has been the year and the decade of Lithium. And I think Lithium continues higher. I think the upside for this stock is tremendous. That's why they're my number seven pick for December, 2021. L-I-T-M, Snow Lake Resources. Put on your radar, put on your watch list. Could be a huge winner. Now in number six, let's take a look at number six, DXLG. So this is another pick that's had momentum. It's now starting to retrace DXLG. I think this retrace is going to be a buying opportunity for Destination XL Group. You can see it's an 80% buy on bar charts and you can see that it has been a strong buy. Destination XL Group, Inc. is a multi-channel supply retailer of big and tall men's apparel and operations throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. And I believe that they have been very hot and I think that this will continue. And you can see here, it is up 3,700% in a year. That's right, 3,700% in a year, up 29% in the last three months, only 1% in the last month. I think this is one that everyone should have on their watches, have it on a radar. It's been a huge winner. And I think that this dip could be a buying opportunity on this pick, DXLG. What do you guys think? Do you guys agree with me? Do you disagree with me with DXLG? And if we take a look at the one-year chart, you could see it's been an absolute rocket trending up. And I love to identify rockets that have momentum. This clearly is one of them. It had this huge dip down from $9 to where it is just under seven. I think this dip is going to be a buying opportunity based on what I see with the chart. I might be wrong, but usually I'm right. So put it on your radar, put on your watch list, DXLG. I haven't seen anyone else talk about this talk. Anywhere in the world. Let me know what you guys think about DXLG. Now in number five, DXYN, the Dixie Group, another one that I really like what the chart looks like. This is the one-year chart. You can see that it's been extremely bullish and I love bullish companies and bullish charts because one of our sayings here at Rich TV Live is invest in the best, the best is blessed. This is a company that clearly has momentum. It's been grinding up DXYN. Let's take a look at what bar chart thinks DXYN, our number five pick for December, 2021. And it is a 100% buy on bar chart, has tons of momentum. You can see here when we scroll down that they are up 232% this year, huge, huge, huge winner, 67% in the last three months and 41% in the last month. So definitely want to put on your radar, put on your watch list. Dixie Group Inc. is a leading carpet and rug manufacturer and supplier to higher end residential and commercial customers serviced by Maslan Carpets and Fabrica International to consumers through major retailers under the Bretlin, Globetrex and Alliance Mills Brands and to factory built housing. They've been a huge winner. They've been grinding up, trending up. I haven't seen anybody talk about this pick. That's why they are my number five pick for December, 2021. Let me know what you guys think about DXYN, the Dixie Group chart looks good, 100% buy on bar chart. And I think this trend continues. And a lot of these stocks are down today because we're having a down day in the market, which could also be signaling a buying opportunity. Now, in number four, Berks Group Inc. BGI. Now I look for certain things in the trends in the market. And you can clearly see that this has been trending up as well. So this came from under a dollar to a high of almost $9. And then it came back down, which I believe was a buying opportunity and has come back up, which was very bullish and is doing a little retrace here. So I think this dip could be a buying opportunity. Now let's take a look at what bar chart thinks BGI, Berks Group Inc. Let's see what bar chart thinks. And 80% buy on bar chart, so it has some momentum. And you can clearly see here that Berks Group is up 429% in the last year, 83% in the last three months and 48% in the last month. So definitely want to put on your radar, put on your watch list. I haven't seen anybody talk about this pick. That's why I'm doing it right here, right now, live for you on RichTV Live. Berks Group Inc. is a retailer of luxury jewelry stores. Company operates primarily in Florida, Georgia, Calgary here in Canada, Vancouver where I'm in in Canada and Orlando, America. Berks Group Inc. formerly known as Berks & Mayors Inc. is based in Montreal, Canada. Based in Montreal, Canada, didn't know that. Love the company, love the chart. I think the upside is tremendous and I think it's a winner. So put on your watch list, put on your radar. My number four pick for December, 2021. And now we're in our top three. So in number three, let's take a look at TGA. Look at that chart. Bullish chart. We're looking for bullish charts, bullish trends, very bullish chart trending up for TGA. You can see it's coming back from a little dip. We like that. We think that that's a buying opportunity. That's why we've got Transglobe Energy as our number three pick for December, 2021. Bar chart has it as a 56% buy. And you can see the chart is very bullish. And you can see that the TGA is up 427% on the year. You can see it is up 47% in the last three months and only 7% for the month. So it's pulled back from its all-time highs. I believe we will see all-time highs again. Put on your radar, put on your watch list. TGA, I think it has tremendous upside. So just to learn a little bit about TGA, right here, business summary, Transglobe Energy Corporation TGA is an oil exploration and production company. It is a Calgary based growth oriented oil and gas exploration and development company. Transglobe is dedicated on improving productivity through promoting good oil field development and exploitation practices. What do you guys think about these pick? Transglobe Energy, my number three pick for December, 2021. In number two, we're down to the final two for December, 2021, PVL. And look at that trend. A beautiful trend up on PVL. And that's what we look for. We look for momentum in our top 10. And let's take a look at PVL. Here we go. On the New York Stock Exchange, PVL. Permianville Royalty Trust, a 64% buy on bar chart at $2. I think the upside is tremendous. You can see PVL is up 209% in the last year, 18% in the last three months, and barely up in the last month. So I think this might be the time to position yourself in PVL. Permianville Royalty Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed by Enduro sponsor to own a net profits interest from the sale of oil and natural gas production from certain properties in the States of Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, held by Enduro sponsor, Permianville Royalty Trust. And love to know what you guys think about this pick. I think the upside is tremendous. They're my number two pick for December, 2021. And in number one, guys, I love Lithium. This is another Lithium winner. Look at that chart. The chart is absolutely beautiful. An absolutely beautiful trend line in Sigma Lithium Corporation. Beautiful trend line, my number one pick for December, 2021. We love Lithium here at Rich TV Live. SGML should be on everybody's radar. It should be on everybody's watch list.

This is just going to be a quick tutorial on the basics of the calculator that we will be using. This is the TI-84 and this is called your home screen. This is where you would do your typical calculations. But let's look at how to put an equation in and then look at its graph and look at its table. If you notice over here where my cursor is showing, you'll see as I do keystrokes it'll put that in there so you may want to refer back to this if you can't remember how to do something. Alright, so the first thing we want to do is go to y equal. That will allow us to put an equation in and then we just put in 2x plus 3. So I'll hit 2 and then the variable key is diagonally down from your second key or across from your alpha key and then we would put plus 3. And if I press enter we have our equation put in and I can go look at different parts of my calculator. Now over here on what I'm using you can see the equation screen, you can see the table screen and you can see the graph screen but for yourself you just have this one and we need to get to the other parts. If we want to look at just the graph we would hit graph and that will show us the graph. Okay, now I want to show you how to get to a standard window so I'm going to come over here and clear out our cute history and make a window. If I want a standard window that comes very quickly by hitting the zoom key and then you'll see here at 6 it says z standard so you can just hit your sixth key and now it changes you can see that the axes have changed and come more centered and that would be a standard window. If I want to change my window I can hit the window key. All of these values will allow me to tell my smallest x value to bar this to the left x max would be farthest to the right on the x axis that I want and the scale will tell me if I'm going to the tick mark is going to be one or whatever I choose. Y minimum again is how far down you want your graph to go and how far up you want to go for y max and again the scale you can choose depending on this what your numbers are and we won't do anything with this x res so a standard window looks like this negative 10 to 10 every one negative 10 to 10 every one let's say that we wanted it to be negative 5 so I can come in here and put negative and then the 5 key and then press enter to positive 5 so press 5 and then enter and I can keep the scale of one and if I let's say I want this to be negative 10 for the y so just press enter and enter again because I like my negative one but I want my y max to go to 30 and since it's a little bit bigger between my numbers I'm going to go every two and enter and now if I go back and look at the graph I will see that my axes have changed and now I'm seeing a more detailed look at the graph because I have fewer x's to look at so my graph looks a little bit bigger it's not really same graph just a different view all right let's go back to our standard window so zoom and then six and we're at our standard window okay if I want to look at the table you hit second graph and that will show you your table it has x in this column and the y values if you plug them into your equation the resulting y values for this x I would have three so if I put over here two times zero it would be zero plus three that's why we have three in the y all right how can we use this well let's say that I wanted to know what y was equal to when x is 10 I can do one of two things I can arrow down do the down arrow until I get to 10 and I see that when x is 10 y is equal to 23 or you could hit the second window then you'll notice that this table start that always is an x value what x value do you want to start at so we could just put in the y value that we know we put in our 10 and then we can just press second graph to look at the table and there it just pops us right at 10 so let's say that I wanted to go and know when x was 100 well I don't want to scroll all the way down to 100 so I'm gonna again go to second window and I'm gonna do my table start I'm gonna tell it to go to 100 then when I press second graph to look at the table I see that when it's 100 y is 203 those are the basics on how to enter an equation look at the graph and look at the table


What would you say to the people who are struggling with their addictions right now? They watch you? Well, I would say stand tall in your struggle and continue to struggle and don't give up. You know, my thing is I know you can turn it around.   And what I'm teaching is a lesson though that although you can go into it and go through it, you can also get to the other side of it.  I've been that for years and once you're an addict, you're always an addict. I'm not a practicing addict, but you're always an addict. And if a person been getting high a couple of years and think they stuck, they can look at me and see my career, my life and my love and my God and see that I went through shit like every human does but you can get to the other side and you can't just stop, you can't just quit just cause it looked dismal, find some new motherfuckers. If you can't get unhigh, get away from all the people you know, get away from them motherfuckers. People, places and things that have that drug you desire, you can find some wholesome people if you're really struggling and you really wanna stop struggling because a lot of people who are struggling, they say they're struggling, but they're happier there. They've convinced themselves that this is better than going to do the work it takes to build themselves as a human being. So it's just easier to pick up that rock, it's easier.


Next question is from NP Deering. What exercises do you recommend to increase rotational power? Okay, so rotation, obviously twisting, right? And power is speed. So the strength, strength is that low gear type of movement, right? So like I'm grinding through a heavy squat or a deadlift, that's strength. Power is strength with speed. So this is athleticism usually involves a lot of power. So training power with rotation means you're gonna train. First of all, if you do train for power, make sure you've got good skill, good technique and good stability.  Well, and I also think a big misconception with power is that you're also trying to be super controlled on the eccentric part. And so some of the best exercises for rotational power for me are where I take a medicine ball, for instance, and I'm tossing it in a rotational fashion and getting rid of it. So it's as much of my maximal effort as possible from the beginning to the end and then I'm done and then I'm recovering and composing myself. But for the most part, it's about that pure exertion. It's on command. It's being able to summon that force and then display that power all at once. I like bands for this, by the way. What is your thoughts, Justin, on where does anti-rotational work contribute to rotational power and strength? Like, is that a must-have component to that or just as valuable in training that? Oh, yeah. No, honestly, I think that that's a little bit more in the strength portion of the rotational strength because you wanna make sure that you have that kind of control. And so when you're going through these movements, you know how to find your way back to homeostasis, like find your balance and grounding so you can get more explosive. So you have to be able to build that foundation. So then when you're moving on the field, you're explosive, you can reorient and find yourself and be able to stabilize. So you have to be able to slow down that rotation at the same time. But when you're just working on pure power moves, I think with kettlebell swings or anything like that, getting rid of the kettlebell, I think is always a better option or slamming a ball, and then regrouping, composing, and then doing that same type of movement again. So what I'm searching for is that I feel like, I think of something like even like a windmill, where it's actually not rotational power as much as it is like rotational strength, right? But I think that that's important that we express that. You wanna have good rotational strength before you try and express the power.  So you have the ability to control in that plane really well. And then you can do things like medicine bell throws, wood chops, things that are more expressive to really... Yeah, you need to own, so strength contributes to this physical pursuit quite a bit, right?  No matter what, no matter what you do, if you get stronger, you're gonna get a little bit more powerful. And obviously if you focus on power, you'll get a lot more powerful because power is a skill like anything else. But strength is the prerequisite, right? So don't go and do these fast rotational exercises if you're not strong in rotation because you're asking for trouble. Because when you apply speed, the risk goes through the roof in terms of injury. It's adding nitrous to the engine. It's something that you have to really prepare the infrastructure and handle it. And so I think that's where misconception happens because it is like a lot of the exercises people think of are strength exercises. Like if I'm on a cable and I'm doing a trunk rotation, I'm the best form of that typically is to use it. So you do add the anti-rotational elements to that too. So I can slow down, be controlled. But when I'm just focusing on power, I'm ripping it. And then I'm composing myself again, then I'm ripping it again. I love you use that example because I was actually just taking my client through that exact exercise. And one of the things I was trying to get her to understand because when the client sees you do that movement and they just kind of look at the explosive part, but I'm trying to get her to decelerate correctly, right? And then stop in a controlled fashion and do that all with her core before we go back the other direction. And clients, they see the arms and that's what they're all focused on like, oh, your arms go here and then you stop here. And then you can see her shoulders kind of shrug and move out of position because she's not locking it in from her core and stabilizing there first before she goes back. Well, when you have a cable or a band, you have to bring it back, right? When you have a ball, you can let go. So that's why the control is important when you have something you're still holding on to because if you just let go and let it swing you back, you're gonna probably hurt yourself. By the way, if you are gonna use something that's anchored, I prefer a band for explosive rotational movements way over a cable. With a cable, you got the weight stack that's flopping all over the place. Yeah, it's clunky.  Well, some of my favorite ones, and this is where you get all the Instagram type of exercises that actually makes sense for this because you'll get stuff like tire strikes you can do with a sledgehammer where you're getting really good rotational explosive strength with your upper body and shoulders and I can rotate, slam it with all my might and then basically, I have to like redo that whole process all over again. I'm not dependent on bringing it back all under control. I can really exert a lot of force. Both you take me through this and okay, let's pretend like we have a client who, this person's asking for rotational power but we're gonna assume that they have limited rotational strength. So give me one or two exercises I would get them first to get the rotational strength first in the control and then one or two exercises that you guys like to teach people for the power aspect. Oh man, you can keep it simple and do your regular cable chop to get strong and then eventually when they're stable and feel good then you progress to a band and you go fast or a ball. So that's very simple. You can get more complex. You could start with windmills and cable chops and then eventually move to a ball where you're throwing it. It's really about the progression, right? One is controlled, the other one is fast. Get good at the control first, get good with the rotation of the strength first then move to the speed. Yeah, and just some other examples like kettlebell halo or even you do it with a dumbbell and you can go through that pattern of rotation with your shoulders that a lot of times people just neglect and so just getting your body familiar with a lot of the function of your joints with your shoulders, with your hips and just getting that rotational movement established and under control, that's another good one. And then where does something like Indian clubs and May spells fit into this whole thing? Right, so once you get good fluid movement and rotation out of the shoulders that's where we start loading that same swinging rotation. And so now I can add that and I would start like very slowly with one to two pound type of Indian clubs and then take that through those same rotational movement so you get your internal external rotation. You go through that full range of motion and then further on you can actually get a little more aggressive and fast with those swings too so they can become more of a type of a power move. Now, would you put those kind of at the peak of the progression here? So like I'm gonna get my basic control and strength first then I'm gonna do some band and cable type movements and then I've got really good control I've got really good strength and mobility and now I'm ready to do something more dynamic and a little more fluid with something like a May spell or like Indian clubs. So Indian club and then go to May spell. I think May spell is a bit of a jump skill-wise from that but I think it's super valuable and something to consider that you can get bulletproof you can get strong in rotational elements of your shoulders as well.

you're in a situation like this the best thing you can do is talk at least that's what the major told me a few minutes ago he said it's the best way to take your mind off your worries I think the major has a point especially in the light of what's happened to me in the last 24 hours and what is about to happen shortly you see I'm the medic in an H-19 helicopter crew of the Air Rescue Service Squadron assigned to this base well this morning when I reported to the ready room to stand by for emergency duty with my fellow crew members Captain Richards and Lieutenant McPherson how's about some coffee suits me captain Sergeant Graham huh I said how about some coffee oh oh yeah sure sir so you're mighty quiet this morning for a change how come I've just been thinking sir the doc says it'll probably be in a few days now I wonder you're so quiet everything will be okay well thanks lieutenant I'm not worried it's just that I'm beginning to realize what it's going to mean to be the father of a baby boy boy I didn't know Air Force doctors were fortune tellers too yes how about that Graham since when can they tell what a baby is going to be before it's born well nobody told me I just know it this is something I've looked forward to for a long time a son just got to be if there's nothing around for a boy to get into mischief with he'll invent something give me a girl every time well at least most of the time well I don't know can you take a daughter with you when you go hunting or to a baseball game I can see you never took a boy along and an outing now I remember once I took mine on a fishing trip what happened he catch more fish than you worse than that he caught poison ivy up to his earlobes Mayday let's go Mayday is an emergency call and the bell was our signal we reported immediately to the operations officer for our briefing gentlemen I've just received a call for help from the US Forestry Service a boy is lost in the Rockies area within the vicinity of the base as indicated on the map since the area is densely wooded and mountainous it's a job for helicopters you will start your search at this point at low-level altitude using a concentric circle pattern with intervals of a hundred yards the weather as of now is clear wind southwest at ten knots but there is a front moving in rain thunder squalls and gusts expected here's a description of the boy any questions yes Colonel the point of origin of our search is that where the boy disappeared from yes it's a summer cottage and I'd like you to drop in there before you start perhaps you can pick up more information from the boy's parents as to which direction he might have taken now any further questions fine and good luck in a few minutes our chopper was airborne with Captain Richards at the controls a Lieutenant McPherson co-pilot and myself down below in the cabin preparing our rescue equipment in about 15 minutes the captain brought our helicopter down to a small cabin set in a clearing high on the ridge of a mountain a perfect four point landing captain with a ship like this how can you miss oh look sir somebody coming out of the cabin an old man hello I'm Captain Richards at the Air Force Air Rescue Service oh hurry glad to meet you I'm Henry Bender you fellas in trouble or something no we're not in trouble sir but we understand little boy is missing you know anything about it do you better do okay we've been asked by the Forestry Service to help in the search for him oh good I've got some dope on him here you check me to see if it's correct okay shoot all right his name is Dick eight years old about three feet tall sandy hair freckles gray eyes and two front teeth missing last seen in this area about nine o'clock last night is that right all right I was the one who last seen him when I put him to bed are his parents here no New York New York now he's my grandson and his folks send him here to me every summer so mr. Bender do you have any idea which way he might have gone it's hard to say one year they found him on the roof here another time he was in a lean to he built for himself up in the woods well he must be really lost this time I'll stick out you hear what I hear squall that's what it is we have lots of them up here what do you think Mac it looks like it might be a bad one yeah I don't think I can get her up through that better make the plane secure until the front passes let's go the sky was black and the wind and rain whipped through the clearing in sudden vicious gusts I dug out the cables and we tied down the blade tips by the time we got finished we were soaking wet but when we got into the cabin there was a roaring fire in the fireplace sit down and dry off a spell here's some sandwiches and coffee oh thanks mr. Bender you look mighty good right now I taste mighty good too smoke venison during the season this place is full of deer see that's a bright peculiar flying machine he fellas got there the first time I seen him up so close when you come in for a minute I thought it was a spaceship from outer space outer space yeah a dick has been filling my head with stories about space travelers every year he comes at something different with him one year it was detectives the next cowboys last year is going to be a farmer and you can better I kept my matches here that's he just started one just to put it out I can tell you I have my hands full as I can see you have cerebral isn't there something you could do to keep this sort of thing from happening every year well I tried my best every time I swear I ain't gonna have to come here again it's too much of a responsibility but then when summer comes I think of them having been in that big city all winter and how good the air and outdoors will be for him and I get kind of lonesome for him while we drank our coffee and dried off the old man told us stories about his grandson but all the time he kept looking at his clock and out of the window with the weather he was putting up a pretty good front but I could see that he was worried about the boy and with the weather the way it was I could understand why but as these mountain squalls do it cleared up suddenly after about half an hour and we thank the old man unshackled our ship and started our search we thoroughly circled the area all around within at least five miles of the cabin but didn't see him anywhere several times we spotted searching parties but they were having no luck either after about an hour after the fuel's down yes we better get back to the base I should hate to think of that kid wandering around by himself down there in the mountains so do I but as soon as we get refueled we're coming right back out again the way I felt about it nothing would have stopped me from searching until we found him I've been on many rescue missions but on this one I was sort of emotionally involved I kept seeing this boy afraid lonely and that wilderness down there not as a strange young kid but as if he were my boy the boy that was yet to be well we didn't find the boy and when we landed at the base and checked at the operations building there was a message waiting for me to call my wife at the base hospital Mrs. Graham please this is a husband hello sergeant Graham this is major William major what's the matter don't get excited sergeant she's all right the baby is going to be a little earlier than we expected that's all earlier can I speak to her oh then I'll be right over just lost boy aren't you oh yes yes I almost forgot look sergeant you do what you feel is right but as far as your wife's concern she's in no danger are you sure major yes when compared to what you can do on your search I see but it's up to you whatever you want to do is all right with me but remember everything is going to be okay at this point the phone and stood for a moment not knowing which way to turn everything in me told me and he should be at my wife's side at a time like this but if I did go to her I knew that the captain and the lieutenant would have to resume the search by themselves or else dig up a replacement for me but most of all what went through my mind was the picture of a sandy head kid with gray eyes and freckles maybe in serious trouble somewhere in the mountains the longer I thought the more I knew what I had to do by the time our ship was refueled I was there ready to take off again oh sir hi captain okay here captain okay here we go once more we headed back to continue our mission and once more it looked like we were going to be unsuccessful as we searched in ever widening circles by now we were flying over some really rough terrain deep gorges and cliffs on all sides but just as we started thinking about our fuel again and to be heading back soon captain well there's enough for another hour look what's that down there where the halfway down the side of that cliff you see something white I'll bring it down a little it's a boy it's him right a loudspeaker okay stand by I'm going down captain Richard started to bring it down but as we got between the two sides of the gorge a downdraft hit us and sent us sprawling he tried again and again but it was no use the ship was thrown around like a toy we couldn't get to the boy but we got close enough to see that he was on a narrow ledge and that if he made one false move well it was at least a 600 foot drop straight down there was no way he could be reached by crawling down from the top we had to get him out of there but quick there was only one hitch that was the big one in one word how you are listening to the proudly we held production a day for boys and we will return in just one moment for the second act many times a man is skilled in a particular job yet he's unable to find a use for it as this happened to you are you a service veteran with a service gain skill that's just going to waste well if you are than listen because you may be able to put that skill to work as a member of the United States Air Force the Air Force needs experience and know how gained in all of the armed forces if you possess one of the critical skills needed to keep America's air defense strong you can put that experience to work in the Air Force and do so at a higher grade and with higher pay than you may realize you've earned credits toward a valuable retirement income so protect that initial investment for full details write her visit your Air Force recruiter ask for the prior service man's folder now remember that's the prior service man's folder this folder will show you why today and tomorrow you're better off in the United States Air Force you're listening to proudly we hail and now we present the second act of a day for boys there's one thing you can be sure of an air rescue work that is you can't be sure of anything every mission is different up to a certain point only can you follow standard operating procedure beyond that well it sometimes takes skill courage or ingenuity and when we saw the boy on his narrow ledge of rock below us we knew that this was one job that would take a combination of all three Graham get on it loud speaker and ask him if he's okay right are you all right yes or he is good now tell him not to move dick you must stay right where you are do not move no matter what happens we've come to get you out of here but do not move okay he's nodding his head captain fine these Canyon drafts are rough but I'm going to bring it down once more lower the hoist cable Graham see if it reaches right sir this is about as close as I can get how is it about 15 feet too high captain oh wait a minute there's a ledge up into the right of the boy there I think we can reach it with a cable where oh yeah sure we can reach it bring the cable back Graham I'm gonna get down there I might be able to work my way over to the boy are you kidding Mac you don't look like a mountain goat to me I don't worry I read books on mountain climbing when I was a kid well I don't know Mac I'll be okay if I need any help our yodel cables in lieutenant okay give me a hand Graham lieutenant McPherson crawled into the hoist I started to lower him away normally it's a fairly routine operation one we trained for and practiced many times but now caught in the cross currents of the gorge the lieutenant swung back and forth like the pendulum on a clock a big clock and if one of those swings was too wide up above me in the cockpit captain Richards had to manipulate two control sticks and a pair of rudders while I stood by on the hoist ready to pull up the cable in a hurry if I saw the lieutenant heading for the rocks too fast while I watched I saw him slip out to make himself free and in a moment he was hanging only by his hands what's he doing down there his hands slip I think he's gonna jump for it yeah watch it Graham this next swing if you're just about there he made it keep the hoist there in case he wants it again the lieutenant waited for a couple of minutes until he caught his breath and then slowly and very slowly started to make his way along the face of the cliff and for the life of me I couldn't see what he was hanging on to but he kept moving until he was about halfway to the boy when all of a sudden he slipped in an instant he was gone sliding down the face of the cliff toward the bottom but as we watched horrified we saw him come to a stop about 20 feet below on a stubby bush grown into the side of the rocks and there he lays still very still get that hoist up Graham that bush won't hold him long you bet you can handle him yes sir use the sling and I'll operate the hoist from here it's going to be a tough one that was an understatement as I found out a minute later swinging in my harness at the end of the cable toward the lieutenant one look and I knew I couldn't use the sling the bush was too small to hold both of us I had only one alternative I took off my gloves rubbed my palms dry and waited while Captain Richards maneuvered me closer on one of my swings I caught a glimpse of the boys staring at me with wide open eyes and I flashed him a high sign the next swing brought me right to the lieutenant I reached out and I grabbed for him I started to put my arms around him but just then the bush gave away and he with it I made a desperate lunge and I caught him just in time I held him so tight I thought the muscles in my arms would snap while Captain Richards raised the ship up to a plateau on top of the cliff and hovered it there until I lowered the lieutenant to the ground as I quickly slipped out of the harness he came to your head how do you feel lieutenant okay I guess that's a knock the wind out of me yeah but we better get you back to the ship you think you can pull yourself in through the door yeah okay let's get this harness on you I buckled him up gave a sign to the captain and the lieutenant was hauled up to the ship minutes later I was hauled up to Captain Richards told me what you did thanks for what you'd have done the same for me captain I got an idea how we can get the kid you have what well while I was down there I spotted a ledge about 10 feet below him now if you let me off where you dropped the lieutenant before I think there's a way I can go down and over rather than try to go straight to the kids ledge and I'll be able to stay with them until you can reach us maybe there'll be less wind by then okay we'll give it a run keep our fingers crossed for a little nothing else we can do this was the payoff and swinging away down there at the end of the cable nearer and nearer to the ledge I tried to concentrate on what I had to do but I kept thinking of Jane and wondering if I was a father and didn't know it by now the swings were getting bigger I was beginning to feel like one of those big steel balls on the end of a chain the kind building wreckers use only I wasn't going to wreck the cliff if I hit it but the captain was a wizard at the controls and he feathered me right to the edge of the ledge I let go the hoist and dropped it was a perfect one point landing right on my stomach I lay still for a moment I had to the wind was knocked right out of me I waved an okay sign at the captain and then looked around below me was a mountain goat path that led downward and over to the ledge underneath the boy I eased myself down to the path made my way over to the ledge without too much trouble now to get up to the boy there were a few small cracks that I could use for footholds that was about all as I stood trying to figure out a route of approach the boy stuck his head out and looked down hi dick you bet how do you feel I guess you are don't worry we'll have you safe and sound at home in no time at all just don't move okay his face was streaked with grime and dried tears but he threw a feeble two front teeth missing grin at me and then pulled his head back out of sight I drew in a deep breath hitched my trousers and reached for the first crevice was a long stretch slowly I pulled up my left foot searched for a crack found it and pulled up my right foot but there was no place where I could put it if I had been three inches taller I could have grabbed the next crevice but it was no soap I was stymied stopped cold he was only 10 feet above me but it might as well have been 10 miles for all I could do I dropped down to the ledge and as I did so I knew what the only thing was that could be done but it wouldn't all depend on me dick hey dick are you afraid that's good I want you to do something for me listen very carefully I want you to put your feet over the edge there and just slide right down here to me how about it think you can do it that's good okay all set any time I'm ready slowly put his feet over the edge that's as far as he got he just sat there frozen I can't Mr. I can't come on dick that's a good boy yeah but I'm gonna catch you see look I'm right underneath you I knew I'd have to try something else something I've been reading up on the last few months child psychology I signal the captain to hold off on the talk and then turn to the kid dick your grandpa told me you wanted to be a fireman once that right okay did you know that to be a fireman you have to learn how to jump into a net well this is the same thing only it's not near so high and a net can't grab you like I can now if you just do it you can learn two things at once well you can qualify to be a full-fledged fireman when you grow up and second you'll have a chance to feel what it's like to be a real spaceman best kind there is a helicopter pilot if you come down now I'll fix it so you can handle the controls of the ship when we go back now how about long moment he sat there and then very simply and easily he let himself slide right down into my waiting arms I think I was shaking more than he was with relief by this time as I had hoped the wind had died down died down enough to enable the captain to reach us with the cable and in minutes we were hauled up to the ship on our way back captain Richards let him sit in his lap and work the controls by the time we dropped them off at the cabin dick had decided he was going to be in the Air Force when he grew up and this was one time his grandfather had no objections on the way back to the base good job Sergeant Graham boy that was one time I really talked sure it did paid off they Graham told me you still feel the same way about having a son you know something captain I'm beginning to think I don't if I spend my days doing rescue work I don't want to have to do it at home too we got back to the base about half an hour ago you can bet I had it right here to the hospital first thing only to find that my wife was in the delivery room and that I had some more waiting to do as you can see well talking like this has helped but gosh how long does it take congratulations Sergeant Graham it's over I wish he made you Williams fine just fine and a baby baby's Graham babies yes boys both of them doc I'm tired one out I am at the end of my rope you mean two boys oh get me a glass of water will you I've heard about it happening but this is the first time in all my years I've ever seen it a father fainting now come on Graham come on wake up they're your babies from now on are you a service veteran then listen carefully because this message

The Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Saudi Arabia focuses on harnessing emerging technologies by ensuring that the gap between technology and policy is bridged. Small and medium enterprises tend to form the backbone of any country. In Saudi Arabia SMEs that are involved in industrial manufacturing comprise about 80 percent of businesses. Unlike larger organizations it's very difficult sometimes for SMEs to adopt digital technology. They do not have access to the appropriate tools, best practices or fully understand the importance of digital transformation. That's where the Center for Fourth Industrial Revolution in Saudi Arabia is important. We've launched our project The Industrial Internet of Things for SMEs. We've developed a journey starting off with creating that awareness and sharing best practices and training them, building that transformation blueprint. We're also developing a use case guide and then bringing all that together to enable implementations. The Industrial Internet of Things for SMEs led to training 55 individuals and has supply chain responsiveness by 13 percent. We also reduced operational costs by 21 percent. Our project is anchored with C4IR in Brazil. They have shared with us their learnings, their proposed solutions, recommendations. Although we are miles and miles apart we're quite close in terms of vision. If countries do not enable SMEs to digitally transform there's going to be a gap. Innovation can't be done alone. Everybody needs to band together and collaborate to have a thriving innovation because we need to have an inclusive and prosperous economy in Saudi Arabia.
