Good morning everybody. JR Fisher here. It is Friday. It's finally Friday. We all wait for Friday, right? I think a lot of people wait for Friday so they can take off in the weekends. I don't. That doesn't matter to me. I do like Friday because I go have lunch with my wife on Fridays though, and that's really nice. I want to welcome everybody. Hey, if you're new here, don't forget to subscribe. I am 32 people away from 5,000. 32. It's only 32. You think I could do that over the weekend? We'll see what happens Monday. But I'm 32 people away, so make sure you subscribe, especially if you're new here. Don't forget to turn on your notifications, your bell notifications. Turn on the bell notifications so you're notified every time I go live, or if I upload a video, which I do five days a week. I think it's Tuesday. What is it? Sunday through Thursday. I upload videos. The other day, I told you guys Monday through Friday. That was wrong. I changed it to Sunday through Thursday. So you get new videos every single day, Sunday through Thursday, and then I go live Monday through Saturday. So a lot of content, a lot of content. And today, I'm going to reveal a sales page that's already proven to work. It's my sales page. Nobody has seen it yet. And that's what we're talking about today, sales pages. But nobody has seen it yet. And the reason it's proven to work is because I already did another variation of it. And I'm going to show you all the components of it and how it works. I'm going to teach you guys how to check your sales pages. You guys are going to love today's session. You really are. However, if you have other questions about starting, running, and growing online businesses, put it in that chat section there. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. But we're going to have a really great session today. I want to thank everybody for showing up today. I want to thank those people who watch this, which is the majority of you guys after it is already recorded. I know it's hard, especially on a Friday, to show up on a Friday at 9 a.m. Would you get your whole week of things going on? But those of you who do, I really appreciate it. Appreciate all your comments and suggestions and so forth. I really do. But what I want to do today is I'm going to go through several things you can look for on your sales pages. And then I'm going to show you that sales page I was talking about that really does convert amazingly. Did you build page or have it done? I built all my pages, Paul. I don't have anybody do anything for me. 100% of my pages I built. And this one's really cool because it has a whole lot of different levels to it. And you're going to see that in just a second. But it's an amazing page. It made me, this is the page that I used when I was promoting the Can Me. I told you guys about a couple of weeks ago, and it made me a tremendous amount of money. And you can look at it and you can model after it. You can see why it works. I think it's pretty obvious why it works. And I send out emails to my list and I say, Hey, I've got this video I want you to watch. Go to this page, watch the video. I don't really tell them a whole lot about what's in the video. I just say, go watch this video. I made this video for you. And I'll get into that email sequence maybe on another day and you can see how those work. Let me get a little sip going on here. But the first thing is let's go through all the steps in like kind of testing your page to make sure you've got everything you should have. So this is kind of what I would call the five second test. Okay. So this sales page you have is going to really build your business based on several things. You know, a lot of people think, Well, my gosh, if I have a beautiful landing page, a beautiful homepage, a beautiful sales page, that's all I need. That doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter if it's good looking or not. It matters if it works. And I tell a lot of people that they're like, Well, I like this certain font because it sells my brand and all that. I'm like, Yeah, but does this font sell your product? That's what really matters. So I want you to kind of think about taking a five second test to see if you can improve your page. Okay. The first thing you want to do is kind of like find volunteers, friends, family, anybody that, you know, can type on a keyboard, which wouldn't qualify me, but anybody who can do that and have a look at your homepage and say, What do you think when you see this page? You know, what is it?  But then what I want you to do is tell them who your business serves. Okay. So you're saying, Okay, like my survival food company, I serve people who want to prepare for disasters or whatever. They want to have food on hand. Let them know who your avatar is. Now, obviously, you're going to need to know who your avatar is first before you can tell them. The key here is to make sure that you're not telling them what the problem that your business solves because that's what your page should be doing. Loud and clear, you betcha. I smashed the like button. Yes. Thank you, James, so much. Everybody smashed that like button. That matters so much. I really appreciate you doing that. But let them know who it helps. Not what the problem is. See if they can figure out what problem you're trying to solve. Okay. So the next thing, have them review your homepage for five seconds. Five seconds. Five to seven seconds, I would say. The moment they get there, make sure to have some of your volunteers review your desktop homepage, your sales pages, all these different pages, and give them seven seconds, five seconds to review it without giving them the context of who it helps. Okay. Once the seven seconds up, ask them for their feedback. Say, hey, what did you notice about my page? Ask the three feedback questions. With your homepage fresh and minor, your sales page, what do we do? Okay. Ask them that. What do we do? What problem do we solve? What action do you want to take? Okay. So ask them those three questions. Write down their responses. Okay. It's wishful thinking to imagine that you'll remember everything they say because you won't. Okay. So you want to write this stuff down. You want to get it all organized. And then what you want to do is kind of brainstorm the key insights and action items that they've told you. Okay. This is the time for your feedback. Look through the responses to your three questions and see the patterns that you find or are there patterns? Did your respondents easily figure out what to do? Did they know what to do? Did they know what problem you were solving? You got to ask them that. Okay. So what I'd like to do now is I want to switch over and I want to show you a sales page I have. Let me get to it first. All right. It is right, right, right, right here, I think. I want to make sure I got it. Okay. There it is. And then I'm going to reload it. And then I'm going to share my page with you. Do you ever use SurveyMonkey? I have not used SurveyMonkey, but I've definitely done surveys. And Tyann Nelson, good morning. Good to see you here. Glad to have you. So I'm going to go ahead and switch over to this page, guys. I want you to see it. So you're going to see like my software thing first. Let's see here. I want to go, I think, move that to there. I haven't done this in just a little bit. So bear with me. Okay. There. Okay. So now I'm sharing my page with you and you should see my sales page in just a second. I want to wait till it comes up. Paul, one more time on the three questions. Okay. I've got to pull it back up. I've got a different screen pulled up right now. And I'm going to go right back and do this. I'll go over that again, Paul. I just want to get this page here up on the screen so you guys can see it. It should only take a second.  And then my sales page came up, which is good. Okay. So there's the sales page itself. And let me just check one other thing here. I'm going to go back to this. I think this, this needs to come out, just a touch. There we go. I think that's right. All right. I think it was out of balance, just a touch here. And let me know if you can see that sales page on your end, guys. I want to make sure everybody can see it. I'm trying to monitor it from down here and make sure that it's visible. But this is a pretty dark and sales page. This thing's made me a lot of money. And I want to share, I want to share with you these things that work, man. If you get the things that work, you know what? You don't have to go through all the mistakes I had to go through. You know, the things that work, these are also when you have stuff that works. Okay. Okay. So this is the sales page. I think you can see it. I think it's on your screen. And then I want to scroll here. All right. So when they land on this page, let's, let's analyze this. Okay. At the top, there's a red band. It says a label change small cans inventory closeout. Okay. So when you hear stuff like that, want to watch the video in the page. Okay. Yeah. I'll do the video for you. I did this video. I think it's a pretty cool video. Let me make sure my volume is up here so you guys can hear this. There we go. What I like, Paul, is that you said I want to see the video. Okay. Now, what I did here, let's look at all of this stuff on here, regular price 239 a case. And I put in there the size of the can that I'm selling. Good James, you can see it too. And then below that I said inventory closeout. And then I put the price on there. So it's $100 off this case. 10 case limit, 42% off. Now I put the percentage off because it's a huge percent off, right? 42% is a lot. And I put the 10 case limit because people will see that and go, oh my gosh, that's really limited. I better get on this. Okay. And what happens is a lot of people will buy the 10 cases just because there's a limit on it, which I think is pretty funny, but they do. And then it says right below that a four minute video reveals what happened. What happened with what? So it doesn't really tell what happened. Okay.  Save hundreds with free shipping. I put free shipping in here. Now down below, they've got all these buttons they can hit. They can buy chicken, beef, turkey, pork. They can buy ground beef right here. And I said, finally ground beef too. It hasn't been available for over a year. Now I can promise you we're going to sell a lot of ground beef because it hasn't been available for over a year. You can buy one case and save $80 right here. See this? It's $159. You buy five cases. That's $149 a case. And then here's the big discount one. By 10 case, you save $1,000. You pay $139. Now down here, I have some more detail. It's slow pressure cooked. It's all USDA inspected. There's no fillers. There's no additives. It's humanely processed. It's low sodium. And then I have a repeat of all those buttons right here and the pricing again. And then I say, look, in addition to that, I'm going to throw in my book. I'm going to give you my book, A Great American Food Shorty, that I wrote that talks about a pandemic or something hurting our supply chain of food, which when I wrote it, everybody thought I was crazy. I give them an autograph copy of that. Yeah, I sit here and sign all those. I tell them it's a $19.95 value just for buying any of those that I showed our support team. So there's not a whole lot to do on this page, but click. And Paul wanted to see that video, which I like the idea that you said that because that means it's working. But let's play that video real quick. They could save your life and that of your friends and family. It's called The Great American Food Shortage. And I wrote it. I've also got a big announcement at the end of this video that you're going to want to hear. In addition to that, I want to offer our now famous survival cave food canned meats at a price I haven't done in 10 years. It will be the lowest price I've ever offered. But let me explain to you why I'm doing this. I originally started survival cave food as a home-based business in Chesapeake, Virginia, and actually did shipments out of my garage. I developed a process to canned meats for a long shelf life so that the average American could buy high quality meats at a fair price to keep their family protected from food shortages. I started with wholesome USDA inspected beef, lean and delicious chicken, and then added the best quality turkey I could find and pork from the finest small farms in America. All these meats are processed humanely and are all natural, and I canned them without the use of preservatives, additives or chemicals. Please keep in mind that we only source and pack and package these great meats right here in America. Nothing comes from outside the great USA. When I started the company, I processed orders late at night after working my day job through a network of websites. I was able to grow survival cave food into one of the most respected and healthiest survival foods that you can buy. We moved the business to San Diego, California in 2013, and as we grew, so did our warehouse. And during COVID, our business boomed. People realized they needed a good, healthy and reliable source of protein that was shelf stable and priced right. And let's face it, the grocery stores, well, they just ran out just as I had predicted in my now famous book. Also, during COVID, we were able to serve our customers in this difficult time and make sure our customers were fed nutritious food at an economical price. We delivered our foods to towns big and small, all across America, and kept the citizens of the United States safe and fed. So here is the big announcement. Today, I want to announce that we again are moving our location to the beautiful state of Texas. We will move our headquarters to Austin, Texas as soon as my home is ready there. This move creates a unique problem because all of our food labels have our San Diego address, and we need to change it to Austin, Texas. So this is where the interesting part comes in. We need to change those labels and get rid of all the ones that say San Diego, California. So what I'm doing is drastically cutting the price of all of these delicious canned meats so that you can take advantage of our new move to our new location. I'm pretty sure you don't care what address is on the can, do you? In addition to the delicious canned meats, I'm going to throw in an autograph copy of my book for each person who takes advantage of this incredible deal. Now, there's no catch to this. All you have to do is click the button of your choice below and choose the meat that you want. I'm offering beef, chicken, turkey, pork, and ground beef. Please keep in mind that some of these may sell out very fast. So if you click one of them and it says we are sold out, I apologize in advance. I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting us over the past decade, and I look forward to supplying you with more delicious foods in the future. Thank you for your business, and please click the button now so that you can take part in this inventory reduction while there's still supplies available. Oh yeah, one other thing. These have just been made fresh and are all in stock and can ship within three to five days. So you're going to have these foods almost immediately. Who knows what the next major emergency will be? But one thing you can know for sure is that there will be another emergency, whether it's sickness, civil unrest, terrorism, natural disasters, or who knows what else. We will all need survival food again. Grab this amazing deal while you can and save a huge amount of money. Thank you for your business. And remember, you'll never see a deal like this again. Act today and get an autographed copy of my book for free and drastically discounted prices on survival cave food. Okay guys, so that is the video I put on there. And I want to kind of walk you guys through the process of this now. Now when they hit this page, let's see, can you add a link to sales page? Do you offer a sampler pack case? You know, I will, I'll get you. I can't put a link in the chat here. Paul, unfortunately, they won't let you put links in there. But I'll get it to you or you can message me and I'll send it to you. What else was I going to say? Sampler pack. We did do that prior to the illness. But the thing is we ran out of inventory and I really couldn't afford to do it because I didn't have enough inventory. So when I was doing the samplers, you know, it was just it cost me money basically. It helps me build my list, but it cost me money. And people don't understand that it cost you money. Like we did like a small can and we charge people $9.95 for shipping. And a lot of people said we were overcharging and it was too expensive. It's a pound. It cost you about that to ship it. Plus we had the box, we had the packaging, we had the cost of the can and we gave them a $10 coupon off on their order. So it was like, you know, we gave them a really good deal. But unfortunately, during our shortages during the illness and it's still here really. But, you know, we couldn't do it. But let's look at the page now. So let's say they decide they want to buy some of this. Okay, let's look at what happens. I'm going to click on buy chicken. Okay, so when I click on buy chicken, it goes to this page here. And what it does on this page here is it tells them they can buy one case, five case for 10 cases. Okay. And if you scroll down, it says right here, scroll down to select quantity because people won't. They don't know what to do. So it says MSRP today is, you know, MSRP is $239. You can buy for $159. Or you can buy five of them for $745 or you can buy 10 of them for $1,390. I'll tell you probably more than 50% of our sales. Your message got retracted, Paul. So whatever you were trying to put in there, let me see if I can, it blanked it out. So whatever you were trying to do, YouTube just censored you. So I don't know what you were trying to put in there, Paul, but if you want to try to put it in a different way, it may go through. So anyhow, I let them know this is US mainland shipping only because we get people from Alaska and Puerto Rico and Hawaii and I just couldn't do it. They have their address, all their shipping details here. Now, right down here, the way I've got this set up is it's defaulted to one case, but if they click here, it will go to five cases. If they click here, it will go to 10 cases. Okay. Now, in addition to that, they can join the Survival Academy, join the Survival Academy with tips, tricks, and hacks to keep your family safe, only $7 now and then $27 a month. And I'm going to change that. I don't like that bump offer there. So I am going to change that bump offer right there. But that's what the bump offers. Now, once they fill this out, it is going to go to another page that's going to thank them and then try to sell them something else. Okay. So I'm going to have another offer, which is going to be an upsell on the other page. So you can kind of see the processes that it went through. Now, let me get back over to here. Okay. All right. And then I want to, I think take this display down. Okay. So I'm back on the screen. Here I am, back on the screen. So it took a lot of work. Okay. You know, Paul said, you know, you like the video and I'm glad you did, but it took a lot of work. It took me two weeks to build that page and do that video, two weeks. And I'm talking, working a lot of hours a day on top of all my other work. Now, a lot of people say, well, what if you do all that and nothing happens and it doesn't, it's not successful? Oh, well, that's happened many times to me. That's happened many times to me, but I don't care. And I don't care because anytime something doesn't work, I have, I have data. I know that that thing didn't work. So I won't do that thing again. I'll do something else. And as I keep doing different things, more and more things keep working. And as more and more things keep working, I learned, I learned what works like that page I used for the 28 ounce. Now I'm switching it over to the 14 and a half ounce. I changed up my emails a little bit and I can send it out to my list again, because I had a lot of people in the list that, Hey, I want the smoke amps. You don't have smoke amps. And I didn't. So now I can send that out there again. And I mean, literally, when I send that out within hours, I'll have tens of thousands of dollars. It's really nice. It really is. But I spent the two weeks, but I can have months or maybe a year of making money off that video and that sales page. And I've got literally hundreds of those sales pages. If I showed you guys all the sales pages I did, it would blow your mind. You'd be like, holy crap, that's a lot. But keep in mind, I don't do them all at once. Each day I'm working on something new and that's what I want to get across to you guys. Just keep working on something new and don't quit. You can't fail at this.  I had somebody the other day bought one of my courses, my e-business toolbox, which is a great course. You want to check that out, e-business toolbox. But they signed up for it and they said that it wasn't that good and that they, you know, would rather just watch my videos and they wanted to get a refund. And when I went into the system and I looked, they hadn't even opened it. They hadn't even gone in. They hadn't looked at the first video. They hadn't done anything. And when I went back to them and I said, hey, we do have a refund policy, but you got to go through the course, you got to try the information. They responded with, oh, I must have gone to their own place. Their second payment hit today. They were paying $397 a month, so they paid me $800. And then they canceled.  They gave up. They never even tried. Guys, you got to try. You got to do this stuff. I'm no different than you. I just tried.  If you notice the reason of the sale, the reason of the sale was I'm changing my label address. And that has made me so much money. Now, I could just change the label address and do nothing, but instead I made an entire campaign about it. Don't you think that's cool? I mean, I was sitting there with my wife, I'm like, we're moving to Austin. What kind of sale can I come up with? How about a moving sale? How about the fact that I'm changing my labels? That's reason enough to get people to buy. And then I say something really funny in the video. I say, I know you don't really care, you know, what address is on the label. And then I should judge Judy going, duh, you know, it doesn't matter to you, right? But if you could get a great deal, that's pretty cool that you could do that, you know? So let me see here. Do you guys have any more input? Put your input in there. I want to hear your comments, questions, suggestions, all that stuff. I've shared with you the inside track of how I make money. Okay. Now, let me tell you something else about that. They are tagged when they go to that page. So once they go to that page, that tag is on there is going to that page. And then I have a sequence where it looks at and it says, hey, people who went to this page but did not buy, send them this email. And then I have another email that says, hey, JR, you just went to my page. I noticed you didn't buy. Here's the link. Go back and get it. Now, let me show you something else about that page that I didn't show you. Where is that? Where is that? Let me go here first. Let me go to my display capture. Okay. And then I'm going to go back to that page right here. Let me go back to it right here. See the pop up? Oops, let me do it again. Let me do it again. You guys may have missed the pop up. Let me reload the page. Okay. So this is the page that I showed you. Okay. But we're selling the product.  I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to go ahead and close this. Look what happens, guys. It says, stop. Order in 10 minutes and use code label 10 and get an additional 10% off your order. Now, if you notice 10% and 42% do not equal 53%, that is an intention interrupt. It's an intention interrupt. When people find a flaw or something, they're more likely to keep moving forward. So there's a flaw there. There's a built-in flaw that psychologically makes them do something. And I would say 70% of the people, that's not a true number because not everybody went away, but I will say a lot of the people who ordered use this code number and they use this code number because it worked. And I had it built in where I can afford to give away another 10%. In addition to that, the emails they get, the people who didn't buy, I send them this code and I say, hey, I'll give you another 10% off because maybe they closed the page and didn't see it. Okay. Maybe somehow they were able to do that. But this here makes them buy. It works really well. Now, what happens also is that they don't buy the upsell. I have another sequence that says, hey, you bought the canned meat. You didn't buy this upsell and I'm not going to tell you what the upsell is, but you didn't buy this upsell. Go back and get this. Here's why you should get it. So I'll hammer them with those emails. Okay. They'll get three or four emails about the upsell. The point is, guys, this stuff works. This is making me a lot of money and I'm giving it to you for free. All you guys do is do the same thing. Any one of you listening to this can do the same stuff I'm doing. I am no different. You do need cartra. I built all of this in cartra and I will tell you, I know I didn't have any copy writers. No, I didn't have any graphic artists and look at it. I mean, it's not fancy. I know this. Look at this. This is not fancy stuff.  Why do I use these colors? Because look at McDonald's. Look at Taco Bell. Look at Burger King. Look at all these places. Look at the Mexican restaurants here in San Diego. Yellow and red. These colors work tremendously, guys. This color here for these buttons, this is the Geico insurance button. It's the same color because that works. That's the colors that Geico insurance uses. All these things work and then I have sales down here and I have a repeat of everything and then I give them something free if they buy. So we've got so many things going on here. We've got inventory reduction. I've got the label change in here. I've got there's scarcity in here. I've got that there's something that wasn't available for a year in here. I've got the big discounts in here. I've got the percentages in here. I've got the free free book in here. I've got the best deal in here. I've got you can only get 10 cases in here. There's a lot of stuff on the sales page. There's a lot of stuff on the sales page and if you take all this in and you use this on your products, guys, you're going to get the same results. You really are. This is going to work for you.  Really? No kidding. It really works. Of course it works. I wouldn't give it to you otherwise if it didn't work. Guys, do this. Do this stuff. Don't just watch me.  You know, I'm going to have a link to Cartra in the description. So as soon as it's over with, go to the link in the description. Click on it. Watch the video on Cartra. If you like Cartra, you can get it for $1 with my affiliate link, $1. And you could start building all this stuff yourself. You could do all this stuff yourself. We're no different. I've generated literally millions and millions and millions of dollars online. And I know you may be looking at me and you go, oh no, he hasn't sold that much. Yes, I have. Yes, I have. I've sold that much. Google my name. Google Survival Cave Food. Survival Cave Food right now. I bet you'd get, I don't know. I don't know. Let's see what we would get.  I'm going to type in Survival Cave Food, Survival Cave. This is one of my companies. Okay, food. Okay. And I'm going to Google it. All right. And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to share my screen with you guys. So I just googled it live. Live. Okay. I'm going to come back over here so you guys can see it. So all I did was type in Survival Cave Food. And I've got, I've got like the ads at the top. Now, here's what's interesting about this page. If you look at it guys, right here, this is the number of results for my brand right here. 23,700,000. Okay. It's 23,700,000. Tell me I haven't sold millions online. If I scroll down here and I'm not bragging, I'm just showing you the stuff works. Sportsman's Guide, one of the largest online sports retailers sells my product. Okay. And there it is. They're running an ad for it right there. Okay. Then there's some competitors here. What's the number one result? My company, my company, out of 23,700,000. Tell me I don't know how to SEO a page. Okay. I'm number one. I'm number one. Okay. Can Meets, Can Food Storage. It's got my location there. It's got temporarily closed. What the heck is that? How? That must be my old address. Okay. So it's got all the different customer reviews on here, Amazon. It's got just tons of it. All a Directive 21, Off-Grid Warehouse, Homefront Emergency. These are all companies that actually sell my products. Okay. And you look down here, Walmart. There's Walmart right there that sells my products. There's Amazon that sells my products. And then the related search is down here. All these related searches down here for my company. So let me get back to my other screen here. And I rarely sit there and talk about my company. I don't really want to do that. But I want to let you know. The only reason I share this is so I can say, hey guys, this stuff really does work. It works. It works. Okay. And don't say, well, he's got this one product. I've got all kinds of different products. I'm showing you one this morning. I've got courses. I've got, you know, inner circle things. I've got all kinds of different things. But you can too. You can too. I still can't type. Okay. I'm still like this. Okay. And when I started off, I didn't know how to send an email. I didn't know what to do. Okay. And everything I know now is just stuff I learned, stuff you can learn by showing up on these lives here. I mean, there's no difference. How is there a difference in me and you? There isn't. It doesn't exist. There is no difference. And I'm going to tell you in here, put in your comments and suggestions now before I end. And I'm telling you guys to ask me these questions because the thing is you're getting an opportunity to ask somebody who's making money online what you need to do. So if you've got a product you're working on, if you've got a sales page you're working on, if you've got an issue, if you've got a problem, if you want to know how to do something better, put it in that chat section. Hey, if you're watching this and it's not live anymore, put it in the comments section. I come back and I answer those. I do that on a regular basis. And any of you who are in here now, I know some of you actually have put comments and I appreciate it. Tell me I don't come back and answer you. You know I do. I'm in there and I listen to you guys and it's not like, okay, thanks. It's none of that stuff. I actually, in matter of fact, I've had people ask me questions that I didn't know that much about and I'll go out and research it and I'll put that research in the answer to their question. So guys, feel free.  This is my give back. Okay. I could not do this and just go in there and work on more stuff to make money. I could not do this and just go in there and work on my stuff. And I say in there, couch, right? But that's the thing, guys, is that if you put the stuff in practice, anybody can do this. There's nobody. There's nobody that's different from you. The only difference is they did something. Are your affiliates also doing the moving sale? You know, I haven't given it to them yet. I think I am going to give it to them and give them the video. Some of them are so big, they don't do stuff like this, like, you know, Walmart or Sportsman's Guide or something like that. They're so huge that they don't do promotions. They just have a huge site and they have millions of people come in there, so they just don't do it. I have to give it to the smaller guys and then they'll do it. They'll put it on their page. They'll do something like that. So that's what I got for you. I hope you liked it today. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope you understand what a good sales page is, what a good landing page is, the different components. I know I went through this kind of fast. I mean, it took me two weeks to build this. If you watch that video over and over again, there's a lot of stuff in that video that really bring in the viewer, you know, from my traveling across country to the maps to Judge Judy, to people at the computers, to taping up boxes. There's a lot of stuff in that video. Now, a lot of the B-roll that I've got in that video, I got from Video Blocks and I'm a affiliate, but I'm not going to give you an affiliate link, but you do want to check out Video Blocks because you can get these little clips of footage that you can use in your video and you can edit it. If you notice in the editing of the video, I would zoom in and out, in and out. I did that in the edit aspect. So I didn't do it with the camera. I just filmed myself straight on and then when I was editing, I would put a cut on each end and then zoom in on that and then zoom back out again, but I did that all in editing. And I do my own editing for those. I wrote my own script for that. I did the sales page and did all those things. So I feel confident in telling you guys what to do because I did it. I did it. And I didn't know how to do it. I had to learn it from other people, just like you are. No difference. No difference. No difference. You could be making literally millions of dollars a year. Man, I wish I could convince you of that. I really do. Hey, JR, you're wound up like an eight o'clock today. I am because I'm excited because I know I'm going to run this promotion again next week and I want to make a lot of money, but I want you guys to understand how it works. I want you guys to have this information. And I want you to make money. I want you to have this feeling of making money. A year or two from now, you could be the same as me and you could be sharing this information with people and helping them out. And that's what I want you to do because what we do is we learn this. We make money. I teach another person. That person makes money. They teach another person. And so it goes on and we all help each other. And there's plenty of business out there for all of us for any kind of niche. I don't care what you're selling. It ain't the product. It's the marketing. It ain't the product. It's the marketing. If you don't believe me, McDonald's is the number one seller of hamburgers in the world and they are not the best. But they got good marketing. They knew how to market. They got a process. They knew what to do. I am learning how to do a new skill. Once I nail it, I hope to teach others. Good for you. That's what you should do. We should pass it on. I remember when I was much younger, I did Taekwondo and kickboxing. And the whole thing was as you moved up from Taekwondo was that you had to teach other people. That was part of gaming each year of belts is to teach another person. Okay, I got beat up along the way too. But I beat up a lot of people along the way too. As a matter of fact, I had my nose broken. I've had this all done, redone my nose. This is a brand new nose. I got fixed because I couldn't breathe out of it. I am learning how to do chat bots for elderly care companies. That's very cool. I mean, there's so much technology out there, right? And hey, that may be something that's going to make you a tremendous amount of money. It's all marketing. You got to market, right? Again, I can see how it took two weeks. Love that video and how it delivers the information. Thank you so much, Paul. That means so much. I don't show this to you guys to get compliments or anything. I appreciate it. Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate any nice things you say. But I'm going to have people pick me up hard and they're going to say this is wrong and that's wrong and blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's what I think a lot of people are afraid of. They're like, I don't want to go do something like this, JR, because people are going to look at it. They're going to make fun of me. They're going to laugh at me. Who cares? Who cares? When they start paying all your bills for you, then maybe you'll care. I wouldn't care then either.  You get to a point, and I think I told Paul the other day because he gave me some criticism, and I'm like, I quit. I quit getting offended in my 40s. Okay? Maybe you can quit getting offended at your age, whatever your age is.  I mean, we always care a little bit because we want to be nice and we want to help people and all that. But as far as people who are haters, people who try to tear you down, we're just like, okay, next, next. I don't care. I just don't care. I'm going to keep making money. And you can have your opinions. They may be good opinions. They may be crappy opinions. I don't care. I just don't care. Okay? I just want to make money, make people happy. And those people who enjoy this and like this will keep showing up.  And that's okay. And that's how it's supposed to be. I need 32 more of you. I need 32 more to subscribe to this channel so I get to that 5,000. And then I'm going to ask you for something else. You'll see. You'll see. You're definitely a servant leader, entrepreneur, and I'll like, well, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Yes. So that's what I got for you today. I had a good time. I hope you had a good time. I hope you have an awesome day. I hope you have an awesome weekend. I just got a text here from a friend of mine who's 86 years old. And he wants to have a lunch with my lunch dinner with my wife and I on Sunday. I'm excited about that. That got me excited. I've known him since I was in my 20s. And I'm not in my 20s anymore. He's been my friend for, I think, 34 years and counting. Great guy, retired attorney, also an engineer, super intelligent guy, speaks several different languages. I love being with him. I love being with him and his wife. So I'm excited about that. I got something to look forward to. Find something to look forward to. There's always something out there, guys. You're still alive. There's so much you can do. There's so much you can achieve. There's so much fun you can have. Okay. Quit worrying. Chill on the worry. And I'll share with you on worry real quick. Here's the truth about worry. And I share it every now and then. Are you ready? 85% of the things that you worry about will never happen. 85% of the things that you worry about will never, ever happen. So you're down to 15%. Now I'll tell you another 12% of the things that you worry about, you can't do anything about. So another 12% of the things that you worry about, you can't do anything about. So now you're up to 97%. 97%. Now let me ask you a question. If you had a cell phone and it didn't work 97% of the time, would you keep it? Would you keep it? If you had a computer that didn't work 97% of the time, would you keep it? Then why keep worrying? Why keep worrying? What's the point? There is no point. There's no point. You're wasting your effort. Just go do things. Get results, good or bad. Get results. If you're not getting any results, you're not doing anything. Please go do something. Don't be like some of those people who buy my courses that never watch the videos. What's the point? They're donators. They donate to me. Makes no sense to me. I hope you have a great lunch. Looking forward to seeing that. Yes, we've got a lunch going and packing is going good. I got six boxes done the other day. It doesn't sound like a lot, but I was in the kitchen and I understand I like to cook. So there's a lot of kitchen stuff in there. I got a lot of kitchen stuff. Other people's opinion is none of my business. I love that. I love that, James. Other people's opinion is none of my business. That's very true. So thank you so much, guys. I really appreciate you being here. I'm going to go ahead and sign off now. I got to get a lunch and we got to go get some dog food. My dog eats a raw food diet. There's a place we buy it. It's frozen. It's a cross town. So I got to go get that. Thank you so much for being here. Love you guys so much. I'll be here tomorrow on Saturday. I've got a really cool subject matter. If you want to know what it is, look at my channel. You're going to see the scheduled video there and I will be live to help you guys out. Thank you so much for being here. Paul says, have a blessed weekend gang. Cheers. Appreciate that, Paul. Thank you so much. I need 32 people. So don't forget to subscribe if you aren't subscribed. Ring the bell. Turn on all bell notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live or I upload a video. I'm saying that too fast.


Otob-1 is a protein that plays a key role in maintaining bone health. It does so by preventing the overproduction of a protein called FGFR2, which is important for proper bone development. When Otob-1 is absent or reduced, there is an increase in FGFR2 production, leading to decreased bone density and strength. This can be reversed with gene therapy using an AAV9 vector to deliver Otob-1 back into the body. This article was authored by Cheong Soo, Yisheng Fu, Chum Pinkwee, and others.


فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يدى بدلى وياله من شراف عظيم إن الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيئات عمالنا من يهده الله فلا مضل له ومن يضل فلا هادي له واشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا أشريك له واشهد أن محمد نعبده ورسوله يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله حقا تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبث منهما رجالا كثيرا ونساءا والتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والأرحام إن الله كان عليكم رقيبا يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولا سديدا يصلح لكم أعمالكم ويغفر لكم دنوبكم ومن يطع الله ورسوله فقد فاز فوز عظيما أما بعد فإن أصدق الحديث كتاب الله تعالى وخير الهدي هدي محمد عبد الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وشر الأمور محدثاتها وكل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالة وكل ضلالة في النار أحب My beloved brothers and sisters the question that presents itself إن السؤال المطروحة الآن the question that presents itself بإلحاح that presents itself vigorously is هل أخذنا بأسباب القبول بعد رمضان recently a month or less than a month ago نحن بكتبنا من الله سبحانه وتعالى to be those who fasted in the month of Ramadhan ونحن بكتبنا من الله سبحانه وتعالى to allow us to pray at night in the month of Ramadhan ورمضان now has gone we have now entered a new month we are in the month of شوال؟ هل نحو الناس الذين اللهم سبحانه وتعالى يقومون منهم؟ المنطقة رمضان؟ هل نأتي مع الأشياء والتكلمين؟ هل سوف يقومون مننا رمضان؟ يا إخوة الكرام، أحبت أخادي والأخادي المؤكد أننا علينا أن نسألنا أيضا هل تأسينا بالسلاف الصالح؟ هل نحاولنا على طريقات المنطقة؟ المنطقة التي نحاولنا أن نتفلوها عبدالله بن مسعود ربي الله وتعالى عنه أثر موقوف، ولا يسحر مرفوع أسطيئ من المسعود لعبدالله بن مسعود والذين يحاولون أن يجعلونه أسطيئ من المسجد أن يجعلونه أسطيئ من المسعود من كان مستنًا، فليستنًا بمن قدمات أي one who wants to hold on to someone then you should hold on to the early generation the companions, the students of the companions and the students of the companions هل نحاولنا على هذه المنطقة عبدالله بن مسعود؟ هل نحاولنا على طريقات المنطقة أو هل نحاولنا على طريقات مختلفة؟ هل أتكلم عن ما أتكلم عنه؟ في تباقات المنطقة المنطقة المنطقة، أخيه أخيه أخيه كانوا أسخين، كانوا أشعر كانوا أسخين، كانوا أحاول كانوا في حالة أفعال لما رمضان كانوا إستطاعتون منهم وذلك هي المؤسسة أنهم ستساعدون ومساعدون وهم ستأكدوا أنه عندما رمضان كان المنطقة التي تأتي بعد شوال وإذا لم أعمل today is the 26th of شوال هناك only four days or three days that are remaining from the month I believe that had to have fasted the six days that come after Ramadhan I believe that longs and remembers in his mind that Ramadhan if you look at the situation of many Muslims you find that they have forgotten Ramadhan they are treating it as though it was years ago حافظ ابن رجب الحنبلي رحمه الله in his great nobu book لطائف المعارف he mentions عن معلّة ابن الفضل رحمه الله he said and now he used to call on Allah the salaf, the pious predecessors who I just mentioned that we should take their path they were كانوا يدعون الله ستة أشهر أن يتقبله منهم they used to supplicate to Allah six months after Ramadhan they would cry to Allah six months after Ramadhan they are still consistent some of you are probably looking at me now and saying Ramadhan is long gone why are you doing a khutba on this topic but for six months six months after Ramadhan they will still be making the dua of what أن يتقبله منهم that Allah accepts Ramadhan from them كانوا they were رحمهم الله تهيدون في إتمام العمل وإكماله وإتقانه ثم يهتمون بعد ذلك بقبوله ويخافون من رده they were they were رحمهم الله once when Ramadhan came they would fast properly they would stand correctly and after Ramadhan went they were scared, they were worried, they were concerned they would consistently ask themselves was Ramadhan accepted and they would make sure that Ramadhan would have their minds و لذلك عائشة our mother and the wife of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم سألت عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها الصديقة بنت الصديق عائشة the truthful one the daughter of the truthful one أبو بكر she asked him about the ayah والذين يؤتون ما آتوا she said أهم الذين يزنون و يسرقون و يشربون عائشة رضي الله تعالى عنها she said are they the ones who commit zina are they the ones who steal are they the ones who do fornication and then they are scared because what the ayah says is those who come with what they came with and they are scared their heart is in a state of fear so عائشة said is it the ones who commit zina the ones who steal and the ones who drink khamar is it those ones that Allah is talking about in this verse and the messenger said يبنت الصديق now the daughter of Abu Bakr ولكنهم الذين يصلون و يصومون و يتصدقون و يخافون أن لا يتقبل منهم they are the ones who pray they fast they give charity and they are scared that it won't be accepted from them we should be in that state is our action going to be accepted يقول عليبنا بطالب رضي الله تعالى عنه علي رضي الله تعالى عنه he said كون لقبول العمل أجد عليبنا بطالب said be ones be people كونوا لعمل القلق كونوا لقبول العمل أشد اهتماما منكم بالعمل be more concerned with the acceptance of the action than coming with the action itself alone ألم تسمعوا علي said have you not heard إلا قول الله عز وجل the statement of Allah إنما يتقبل الله من المتقين الله he accepts from those who are pious they see that an action of yours is accepted it's an indication that you're a person who has takwa so they knew that if the action was accepted from them they have come with piety وقال وعن فضيل ابن عيال أما sorry وعن فضالة ابن عبيد رضي الله تعالى عنه فضالة said لو أني أعلموا if I was to know أن الله تقبل مني مثقال حبة خردل he said if I was to know that Allah accepted from me a trusted seed of righteous deed أحب إليه من الدنيا وما فيها it is more beloved to me than this dunya and everything in it لأن الله يقول because Allah says إنما يتقبل الله من المتقين الله he accepts from those who are pious وقال عطا عطا said أل حذر للتقاو على العمل ألا يكون لله to be concerned and to be worried is not going to be for Allah is not going to accepted وقال ابن دينار he said الخوف على العمل ألا يتقبل أشد من العمل فيها that the action فيها الخوف على العمل فيها for the action for it not to be accepted is greater than coming with the action itself أيها المسلمون all Muslims يا من استجابتم لربكم those of you who obeyed their Lord في رمضان استجابوا له في سائر الأيام obey your Lord in other months other than Ramadan استجابوا لربكم من قبل أياتي يوم الله مرد له من الله obey Allah go back to your Lord follow his command before there comes a day where you will not turn back to him أيها الإخوة في الله my beloved brothers and sisters لقد جاعة النصور الكثير من التكتبات أن يأتي يتكلمون عن أن يساعد الله أن يساعد أفضل not specific to the month of Ramadan but rather the Lord of Ramadan is the Lord of every other month in the year when the people cried over the Prophet's death and they became sad they lost the most honorable man that never walked in the face of this earth the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم but Abu Bakr reminded them something he said to them من كان يعبد محمد anybody who was worshipping Muhammad فإن محمد قدمات then محمد نعم is dead ومن كان يعبد الله فإن الله حين يلا يموت but the one who obeys Allah and the one who is worshipping Allah then Allah is not one that dies but I want to say to you all the one that was worshipping Allah in Ramadan alone then remember the Lord of Ramadan is the Lord of every other month so you don't just worship him in Ramadan you don't just come to the congregation in Ramadan alone you don't just read Quran in the month of Ramadan the Lord of Ramadan is the Lord of every other month ليكوض لعمل المؤمن فأجل حسن البصري difficult for the disbelievers has no restricted time do on deem occupied there is not a time when your actions are restricted too to نعم there are times where your actions increase and you multiply your efforts but that doesn't mean there is ever a time when you stop acting there is not a time when you stop working hard وقار أقول أقول he recited the statement of Allah رأى قوله he recited the statement of Allah وعبد ربك حتى يأتيك اليقين واشب your Lord until satan comes to you and يقين here means satanty as in death وسؤيل بشن الحافي بشن الحافي was asked رحمه الله عن الناس يتعبدون في رمضان الناس يتعبدون في رمضان ويجتهدون ويتعبدون بشن الحافي في رمضان فإذا سلخ رمضان تركوا ومن المنفف رمضان يتركوا المساجد يتركوا المساجد ويتركوا المساجد ويتركوا المساجد ويتركوا المساجد ويتركوا المساجد قاله he said بسل قوموا evil of these people لا يعرفون الله إلا في رمضان they don't know Allah سبحانه وتعالى except in the month of Ramadhan يقول كعب said منصام رمضان anyone who fast in the month of Ramadhan وهو يحدث نفسه and he tells himself and now إذا خرج رمضان that when Ramadhan goes عصا ربه that I'm going to disobey Allah فصيامه عليه مردود then his fasting is rejected in his face وباب التوفيق في وجهه مزدود and the ability to be upright and righteousness will also be blocked from him so I want to say to you my beloved brothers and sisters ولا تكونوا كالتي نقضت غزله من بعد قوة أنكاتا and do not be like the woman who untwisted her spine after she made it strong أقولوا ما تسمعون وأستغفروا الله ليولكم ولسائر المسلمين من كل ذنب فاستغفروه إنه هو الغفور الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسر والثناء الجميل وأشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وأشدوا للسيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين my beloved brothers and sisters حاسبوا أنفسكم رحمكم الله account yourselves put yourself on accountability after the fasting of Ramadan after the ending of this month that we fasted six extra days after that remember Allah سبحانه وتعالى I'm going to count yourself question yourselves يا إخوة الكرام my beloved brothers and sisters people who own businesses every year they do a calculation of what they have done that year and they calculate their efforts how much profit have they made how much losses have they made and they think about what was the problems and what were the pros and what were the cons the believer sits down and he accounts himself he questions himself and he says what was it that I did right and what was it that I did wrong and what is it that I need to work on from ضرور also look at my beloved brothers ما ذا قدمتم لأنفسكم ask yourselves and look at what have you put forward what is it that awaits you the day of judgment the day when there is no money or wealth or children are going to benefit you يوم لا ينفع معال ولا بنون إلا من أت الله بقلب إنسليم a day when children and wealth and everything is not going to benefit you except the person who comes with the one that comes with a pure heart الله لا ينظر إلى أجسامكم ولا إلى صوركم ولكن ينظر إلى قلوبكم وعمالكم الله لا ينظر لك فيزيك الله لا ينظر لك كيف كبير كيف كبير كبير الله لا ينظر لك فيزيك فرالي الله سبحانه وتعالى ينظر لك في your heart and he will look at that which has manifested on your limbs the actions that you have come with the thing that Allah looks at is the heart of the person and the action which they have come with so you need to make sure that today that you observe what your heart is upon and the situation of your heart and you also look at your actions that which you are coming with my beloved brothers and sisters everything that you own today will no longer be yours once you die you're not going to possess it this is not yours your children are not going to be yours anymore once you're dead your wealth is not going to be yours even before you become or you be placed in your grave you even lose your name the people won't refer to you by your name they will say lift the dead body your name is now called the dead body turn over the dead body have you washed the face of the dead body have you made sure that you've done this for the dead body you've lost everything ibn al qayyim mentions that even your shadow it leaves you at times everything which you own will go the only thing my beloved brothers and sisters that is going to remain with you is your actions your righteous deeds the عمل that you have come with this is your true friend youngsters don't you say this person is my friend because he has gone through thick and thin with me well then what's going to go through thick and thin with you is your righteous deed your actions the Prophet ﷺ said يتبعوا المي ي위 تثلاث 3 I won't go with the person يرجعوا إثنان 4 to come back ويبقى واحد 2 are going to come back and 1 is going to remain سيبقى. والذي سيبقى هو أشياءك. فتقوا الله فيه الله. فيهم فرقاً وفيهم فرقاً. The messenger told us in a hadith. الامام الطبرانيو نريته في معجم. شيخ محمد ناصر الدين العلبانيو. He authenticated this hadith بمجمع طروقها when all of the narrations were brought together. That the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم had told us that there's going to come a people. They have actions that are as big as the mountain of Tehama. This is a big mountain. The messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he told us that Allah سبحانه وتعالى is going to nullify all the righteous Deeds. All of it is going to go. So the companions they asked. They said يا رسول الله. Oh messenger of Allah. Are these people not believers? Do they not believe in Allah on the day of judgment? The messenger said of course they are believers. They believe in Allah and they believe in the day of judgment. But even then their righteous Deeds will be nullified. The messenger even added on to saying يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا. They pray the way you pray. وَيَسُومُونَ. And they fast. The way you fast. They come with the Deeds that you guys come with. وَالَهُمُوا الْحَضُمِنَ اللَّيْنَ. And even at night they pray قيام الليل. So they have a portion of the night which they remember Allah. But the problem and the reason, the underlying reason why their righteous Deeds was nullified. All of it is وَلَاكِنَّهُمْ إِذَا خَلَوْ بِمَحَارِ مِلَّهِنْ تَهَكُوْهَا. But the problem was when they were alone privately they didn't remember Allah. They didn't fear Him and they were not conscious of Him. My young brothers and sisters who are spending their holiday, their summer holiday on social media talking about things that don't concern them and indulging in things that the day of judgment will not please them. Remember. وَلَاكِنَّهُمْ إِذَا خَلَوْ بِمَحَارِ مِلَّهِنْ تَهَكُوْهَا. Remember. الله سبحانه وتعالى كنسي. وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَ الْإِنْسَانَ وَنَعَلَ مُمَاتُ وَسْلِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ. وَنَحَنْ وَاقَرَبُ إِلَيهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ. إذ يتلق المتلقيان عن اليمين وعن الشمال قاعد. مَا يَلْفِظُمِنْ قَوْلِنْ إِلَّا لَديهِ رَقِيمٌ عَتِيدِ. Everything will be documented and the day of judgment you're going to see. مَا لِهَذَا الْكِتَابِ لَا يُغَادِرُ سَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصَاهاً. وَوَجَدُوا مَا عَمِلُوا حَاضِرًا وَلَا يَضْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أحدًا.  This advice first of all goes to me before anybody else. And I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى that He makes us those who follow that which they preach. اللهم اغفلنا ذنوبنا وإصرافنا في أمرنا وثبت أقدامنا وانصرنا على القوم الكافرين. اللهم اغفلنا هزلنا وجدنا وخطأنا وعمدنا وكل ذلك عندنا يا رب العالمين. اللهم لا تجعل الدنيا أكبرها مننا ولا مبلغ علمنا ولا تصليط علينا بذنوبنا من لا يخافك فينا ولا يرحمنا. رب آن آت نفوسنا تقواها رب آت نفوسنا تقواها وزكها أنت خير من زكاها أنت وليها ومولاها. ربنا آتنا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب النار واقن الصلاة.


This is JSA TV the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Dean Perine and welcome to JSA TV We are coming at you live from hosting con 2016 in the big easy of New Orleans, Louisiana And I am here with my new friend mr. Chris Sheridan Chris is the director of business development for Weebly Chris Welcome to JSA TV. Thank you. Great to be here outstanding. So how's the show going for you? Very good. It's our second year Exhibiting as Weebly, but I've been to many hosting cons before so always good to be here reconnect with everybody Exhibit go to the sessions. It's been a good show. Okay, so you keep coming back I assume that there are some there's some reasons for that. Why don't you tell our views a little bit about that? I think you know for us it boils down to three things We launched our reseller hosting program last year And so we knew that hosting con was a great place to announce the program and Recruit new customers and talk to new customers about joining a program and in this year We now have 200 resellers under our belt and so it's like a combination of still recruiting new customers But we're having great meetings with our existing folks and then just general networking has always been I think a big plus a hosting con Outstanding Chris. Thank you. So for our viewers that don't already know, why don't you tell them a little bit about Weebly? Yeah, so we believe comm is a do-it-yourself website creator we have 30 million customers in our retail business and We're very focused on a very easy to use drag-and-drop website builder Basically allowing entrepreneurs to get along to get online part of me very easily And so what we did last year is we now opened up a reseller channel and we're extending that same Easy experience to web hosts and telcos and domain registrars to get their customers online very easily That's very cool. So what's that? What's the latest and greatest coming out of the newsroom there at Weebly? Well, I think two things. First of all, we're been very focused on our e-commerce package So, you know, we started out with a free we're a freemium model And we introduced our e-commerce plan a little bit over a year ago and that's going really well So we're we're really getting more and more into the e-commerce space on the reseller side We continue to integrate with like a lot of different marketplaces So we're in cPanel WHMCS and and Odin's APS marketplace and I think really 2017 for us is going to really be about mobile. So taking all these existing resellers and saying here's the ability for your customer to Manage their website on their mobile phone or tablet. Very good. That was my very next question What's pull out the crystal ball and let us know what's happening in 2017? Yeah, I think in 2017 like really for us it's mobile But I think like in general web hosts are looking for growth web hosts are looking for the types of services that have Positive impact on domain registrations and hosting plans and storage and email and for us a lot of that growth is coming internationally So this is what we like about mobile because as you know, most people know the mobile usage is really dominant the further you go away From the US. So I think it's like a perfect fit We see the growth there and we will have this the full solution ready by next year outstanding Chris Thank you so much for joining us on JSA TV. My pleasure. Thank you Outstanding and thank you viewers for watching JSA TV. We'll see you soon


Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. The purpose of this video is to give you an idea of what the class will be like by looking at a sample syllabus for the class. So while the course information up here may be different than what you have, and you'll want to consider that some of the specific information here as the textbook will occasionally change and office hours may change from semester to semester, but it's an idea to give you a little bit of information about what the class is going to be like, so what of what I would do on the first day of class in a traditional class. Now we start off with the course description, which you likely have seen when you registered for the class, which tells about what we're going to be going over. And then we can also, if we go down a little bit here, we can see that there are the learning outcomes, what you are expected to learn by the end of the semester. Now for the details, I give you my office hours information at the top. I can do my offices on the York campus and I can also schedule Zoom office hours each week as well. I will either give you those or schedule them each week. I'm also always available by email, so I check email and discussion boards regularly and in fact I get an immediate notification of them. That doesn't mean I can reply to you immediately, but I generally am able to reply within a few hours each time. And if you haven't heard from me within 24 hours, please resend and double check your email address to make sure that it is getting to me directly. The textbook will be listed on the syllabus and those are I use open educational resources, meaning that you have the book starting from the first day of class. It is freely linked to in there. There is no additional charge to it. You can download Kindle versions or PDF versions for free. There are also hard cover versions that you can purchase. Now students will often ask me about math in the class. Really very little in the math of the class will go beyond about the eighth grade level. You may see a few things that look a little bit higher, but typically we are doing adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It just may be a little bit different the way things are set up. So it's often not the math, but it is the way things are set up. We do need to be able to use scientific notation and I do provide some material for you to go over that. If you wish to review any of the math, go to the math help videos that I link to in the very first module of the class. Now I will warn you that you do see trigonometric functions when we look at our solar project. However, you do not need to know anything about trig functions to use them. Only what buttons you have to push on your calculator and I will go over that. Now let's look at the assignments that we will have. And assignments are broken up into a number of different types. There are unit quizzes, which cover, there's four of those, so it's about every three lessons worth and the fourth lesson will include a unit quiz, which is a set of multiple choice questions for you to answer based on those. Please note that you can take these three times, although the questions will change, and I'll record your highest grade of those three in the grade book. So if you do well on the first one, you can skip the other two tries. If you do poorly, you can try to improve, but note that the attempt will not hurt you. So if you do worse on the second or third try, it'll still be your highest of those three that is the one recorded in the grade book. The midterm exam is worth 50 points, and that will cover the first six lessons. And that is two parts, there is a multiple choice and an essay portion. So you will look at those two parts separately, each of them is timed. So you will have a time limit on each case. And then we'll have a final exam that is 75 points, which will be very similar in structure, but will cover material from the entire course, although it will be weighted toward the material since the midterm exam. Now this is a lab class, so actually a lot of the points apply to labs. You'll see that there are not that many points allocated towards quizzes and exams, as compared to the laboratory activities. There will be nine labs over the course of the semester, so you will not see one each week, but you'll see most weeks you will have a lab, and a few weeks you'll get a break from a lab. Those are worth 240 points, 24% of the class. So just the labs themselves are nearly a quarter of your grade. So you will want to make sure you're working on those. Ask questions about them, try to look at them earlier. They're not ones that can necessarily be easily finished just in a short amount of time. Typically we have about 14 hours worth of lab time for the semester. So nine labs will take you on the average of maybe an hour and a half, between an hour and a half to two hours each. But again, if you're stuck on something, ask a question so you don't spend hours on something that we can get fixed within just a few minutes. Discussions are also worth 24% of your grades. You see there that labs and discussions themselves are nearly half of your grade, so make sure you're looking at those. You will have nine discussions, just like the labs, although they may not always be in the same weeks. I give you three things, three options, three questions, and you require your post. You pick one, whichever one sounds most interesting to you this that week, and you post that by the deadline, which is going to be Saturday at 6 a.m. This will be different than all other deadlines in the course, which are Monday at 6 a.m. and this is because I do require responses. So if everybody has their initial posts in by 6 o'clock, then you're not having to wait until someone who wants to wait until the end of the week to finish their posting so that you can do responses. So your initial post is due by Saturday. If you missed that deadline, please go ahead and continue the discussion. There is a late penalty for it, but you are still going to be far better off getting some points than getting no points. So you get the extra 48 hours until Monday morning at 6 a.m. to post three responses. And then I ask you to read a minimum of 75% of the total postings that were made, posts and responses. And I give you at least another day after that to be able to read any late postings. I don't want you having to stay up until 6 a.m. on Monday because some people are making their posts at 4 and 5 in the morning. You can look over them Monday at your convenience. I will never grade them until at least Tuesday. Morning. I do give you the limits here. There is a 250-word minimum for an initial post, a 75 words for a response, things like students' names or great posts, good work on your posts. Those things do not count toward your word count. I'm looking for the content. Those things are great. Don't get me wrong. You're welcome to put them in there, but they don't count towards the minimum word requirement. Now, the solar project at 160 points is 16% of your grade. So that's actually another part of the lab, so that pushes your labs up to 40% of your grade for the course. There will be another video that discusses this in detail, so I'm not going to go over that much here, but it is a semester-long project and you do need to get started on it early on. The article reviews are worth 10% of your grade. And those are, there's going to be three chances to do the review and I will drop your lowest one. So if you do all three, your lowest grade will be dropped. If you do the first two and you're happy with your grades, you can skip the third one and it will be a zero and will then be your lowest grade and dropped. And I'll go over again more details with this in a separate video. I have a separate video that will look just at the article review assignment. Now let's go ahead and look at the last little bit here and we'll see observations of the sky.  This is specific for astronomy classes and there are three points during the semester where I ask you to submit an observation. So what you need to do is go look for the moon and the constellations at several different points during the semester. I'll give you a warning as to when they're due. I do need a summary of what you were able to find. Just a short written paragraph. It doesn't have to be in great detail. And I do require photos of what you were able to see. Now, the photos can be difficult sometimes, but if you make sure you do not have any extended exposures open on your camera, you don't have the flash on, you can actually get photographs. I've been able to get photographs. Easily of the moon and of the some of the brighter stars, even from relatively even from illuminated parking lots. You try to avoid getting the actual lights in your image. You can usually get at least something there. Show me what you were able to see. So I'm not looking for detailed professional images. I'm just looking for what you were able to get. And again, I will have a more detailed video for this. This is a very detailed video. And again, I will have a more detailed video for this assignment as well as the article reviews and the solar observations separate separate from this. Now that breaks down our class. Let's look at the extra couple of extra credit opportunities that come up. So that's the main portion. I do do quizzes. There's one quiz in each lesson except for one lesson. There'll be 13 of these. These are review quizzes on the material from the lesson. There are multiple choice questions. They're based on same test banks that will be used for the midterm and the final and the review in the unit quizzes. So these are a chance to get a little extra credit. Here's 10 multiple choice questions. Your first attempt is extra credit. So if you get 8 out of 10 the first time you get 8 tenths of a point. Doesn't sound like a lot but over 13 quizzes that can add up over the course of the semester. So I recommend you do them even if you only get a couple questions right. It still may help you at the end. Homework. There are five homework which are written response questions. They're worth up to five points of extra credit each. So again 25 points of extra credit might not sound like a whole lot but that ends up being two and a half percent of your final grade. So if you ended up with an 89 percent in the class say 890 points some of those extra credit points for the homework if you had done that you might have pushed you up into the A range. So it could have pushed you from a B into an A. So it's certainly worth looking at them. Again these are graded on completion. So make a reasonable attempt. Give it a try and you will get most of the credit for these. And again there are chance to review some of the material and in fact the questions are similar to some of the types of questions to what I would use on the midterm and final for the written essay portion. Now to submit assignments in the class I do require that everything go through the learning management system do not email me assignments. However and they also do need to be submitted in either word or pdf format for submission. So if you submitted in something else then you're going to receive a reduction in credit and that's just because other formats unfortunately don't open within the LMS so you don't have to do that. So I would recommend that you submit assignments in the class that are grading and require extra work. So if you use pages on a Mac for example that's great but exported to word or pdf before submitting so that I can open and grade things more efficiently for you. My goal is to get things back to you quickly. Now that said if there's an emergency and something just won't work with D2L or won't work with D2L. So if you email it to me at 558 in the morning before it was due I will be able to count it as on time even if you can't get it submitted to D2L until later that day because of an issue. You still need to submit it through D2L before the last deadline for that assignment in order to receive any credit for it however. So you can't just email it to me but that is a good backup if you're unable to for some time submit the assignment. Now for late assignments I do have the 6 a.m. is automatically starts late so it has to be in by 5.59 and 59 seconds so allow for that when you're trying to upload things. I do give you a minimal deduction for just the first hour it's a 5% deduction so it's only depending on the assignment that's a very small amount just so you lose a little bit but if you're running later it's only a minor deduction there and then it's up to 10% for the first two days after the first 48 hours the next two days after that it jumps to 25% between 4 and 7 days it's 50% and there is no credit for things that are more than 7 days late. Now that only applies to it applies to all assignments other than the discussions which there is no late assignment at all and it also does not apply to the final exam or any other assignments that are due the last week so if you're taking a full semester course that would be just the final exam but in some of the compressed courses the 12 week or the 7 week or the summer classes which are a little shorter there may be extra assignments with the final exam some of the late exams are not going to be more credit either. The only excused absences that I allow are if you have an accommodation provided by student access services in advance or if you have a medical note from your doctor. Again I try to give you a lot of leeway here with dropping some assignments such as a lab is dropped a discussion is dropped so if you have to I take so other internet work issues do not count for giving you an extension on an assignment you can always submit anything other than a discussion and the last week of class you can submit anything with these specific deductions and even that first two days deduction with only 10% comes out to only three points on say a lab so it's not a whole lot there and still gives you those two extra assignments these require no notification no nothing if you just submit the assignment a day or too late I will then grade it and give you credit for it with the appropriate deduction allowed in there but this counts for any assignments other than discussions discussions are locked at 6am on the day they're due and that is the end of it so that would be late assignments so if you have a particular on grading I try very hard to have everything back to you quickly and I my goal is everything within one week and in order to encourage me to do that if I do not have things graded one week after the due date so if something was due September 5th and I don't have it back by that time by that same time on September 12th there's a lot of people who would get an extra three points just because I graded it late that rarely happens I try very hard to make sure that that never does but I will give you that bonus if I am ever late on grading for any regular graded assignment now I've broken down all of the grading again here this just summarizes what we looked at but I do ask you to note another hundred and sixty on the observations so lab type work and observations ends up being almost 45% of your grade as compared if you look at the quizzes in the exams I've cut those down quite a bit those are only about 21 to 22% of your grade so there is the lab work is far more important than things like the mid terms and the final exams grading is a straight 90, 80, 70, 60 scale so you need 900 points to have earned an A 800 for a B, 700 for a C, 600 for a D anything less than that and yes that does mean a tenth of a point less than that receives the lower grade 899.99 is a B and I do not do any rounding for the classes and while that may seem harsh don't forget I've given you a decent amount of extra credit opportunities in the class which have boosted your grade I drop some assignments that also boosts your grade so really your grades have already been rounded up several percent and what may look like an 89.9 might really have been an 84 or an 85 so the grading will not be rounded beyond that I won't give any last second extra credit to get you that extra point or two and I do again only thing that is assigned here is a letter grade that is the only thing recorded by the college I don't give out numerical grades if you need them for anything you're welcome to keep keep keep track of them yourself but if you need them for another school you can the only thing that is recorded in the class and in the final grade that is submitted to the college are the letter grade is the letter grade that you received the numerical grades are only a part of that and do not apply other outside of the determining your letter grade now attendance how do we work attendance in a virtual class well we're not going to see each other all the time so we are going to have participation are you participating in discussion boards are you completing graded assignments simply logging into the course is not considered attending the course I do review attendance and I do drop students who have missed if you're consistently missing assignments you will be removed from the course and the college allows that once 15% of the assignments have been missed so if you missed a few graded assignments you can be dropped from the course now normally that's just when somebody disappears and never contacts and never submits assignments at all and doesn't show up usually about two or three weeks is sufficient to have reached that amount so I can try to work with you and at least let you know what you need to get done and what you may not what you may be able to skip if there are specific issues but you need to talk to me in advance not after you've missed two or three weeks I'm going to give you some reminders here and I'm not going to go through these in great detail but things like plagiarism those are not necessarily copying but just changing a little bit is automatically can give you an automatic zero on the assignment what I do is if I find evidence of plagiarism I give you a zero on the assignment along with a warning and then the second time is a automatic referral to the college and a record of that as well as a letter grade drop in the course and a third if the third instance then that would be an automatic F and removal from the class so I just want to give you a reminder of that W grades if you wish to withdraw you have to withdraw if I withdraw you I put an F in there so if you want to W grade you need to go in and withdraw don't wait until the last withdrawal deadline because if you miss several weeks of class then I may drop you before that and you'll already be removed with an F if you know you're going to be withdrawing reach out to me I will encourage you and give you a guidance as to how to get removed from the class so that you can process that W grade instead of an F but if a student just disappears I automatically assign that an F grade now you will see a class schedule for each class and it's subject to change although usually it stays pretty good unless we have a major emergency and it will tell you what week and that's the starting week of the class what the lesson we're covering is any chapters to read any exams that are involved there any other assignments that are due and any extra credit assignments so it gives you a breakdown as to what you're going to be looking at in each in each class I'm going to give you some more information here again most of this is just for review and you should see in all of them this is the refund schedule if you have any questions use the link there to find out when the add and drop deadlines are and also reach out to me I'll be more than happy to help delayed opening really does not apply to online classes so if we have any weather if there are specific issues we can look at that individually but normally we do not do anything with delayed openings or college closures online classes continue as normal I also don't do any holidays so we keep going right through holidays you can of course take any day you need off there aren't since there aren't any specific requirements so if you want to not work on one specific day you don't have to but I don't a lot make allowances for any of the holidays whether the college recognizes them or not response time again the requirement of the university is 48 hours Monday through Friday I will have everything graded in one week and I will respond to any emails or postings within 24 hours so if you don't hear from me within 24 hours there's some something's gone wrong maybe I lost your email maybe your email didn't come through properly or you type my email address wrong please feel free to send it again ask me if I got your message because it's quite possible if you haven't heard from me in 24 hours that I did not get it and again most times you'll hear from me even quicker than that we have college attendance policy here you can review what we mean by an excused or an unexcused or excessive absences college academic dishonesty policy and then finally the student access services for accommodations if you are eligible for accommodations these are the people to contact depending on your campus so you can reach out to any of these whoever is there this is the one for virtual over here specifically but if you're based on a campus and already working through somebody you don't have to change that your information is already there just make sure that I get that you request that the accommodation letter be sent to me as early as possible because I can't give you the accommodations until I receive that letter and I can't go back to previous assignments until that that we're done before that is received so make sure you have it all set up first so we can make sure that you have any accommodations to which you are entitled so that concludes this lecture on the syllabus and general course operations we'll be back again next time to continue helping to introduce the class so until then have a great day everyone and I will see you in class


Greetings and welcome to the introduction to astronomy. In this video we are going to look at another way of determining distances, what is called the spectroscopic parallax. Even though it has the word parallax in its name, it has nothing to do with parallax as has been discussed in another video. Parallax was measuring the apparent shift of a star compared to more distant stars. Spectroscopic parallax just means it is a spectroscopic way, using the spectra of the stars, to be able to determine distances. So let's take a look at how this works and why it is so important. And what we want to look at first is the fact that, you know, can we use the spectral class? The O, the B, the A, the F, the G, the K, or the M, and can we use that to determine distances? This would be a great thing since it is very easy to measure the spectral class. All we need to do is have a star that is bright enough to be able to get a spectrum and to be able to classify it. Now some of the difficulties with it are, first of all, that they have various, there are different luminosity, so that a star can have one spectral class, but there can be a variety of possible luminosity classes for it as seen here. So for example, a K-type star, as we work our way up, could be a main sequence or class five star here with a certain luminosity, or it might be a giant star up here in the red giant region, which has a different luminosity, or it could be a super giant star way up here that has an even different luminosity. So not only do we have to determine the spectral class here, but we also have to determine the luminosity class as well. We need to know if it is a main sequence star, a main sequence star, if it's a giant star, a super giant star, because that will make a difference in determining the distance. So not only do we need to classify a star as, say, for the sun as a G star, and in fact the sun very specifically is a G2 star, a subclassification, but it is a luminosity class five given by the Roman numeral V, and that classifies it very specifically and tells us where it falls on the HR diagram, and in that case if we can get a complete classification, a two-dimensional classification using the G2 and the luminosity class, that could determine where the star would be. So that G2 star might be here for something like the sun, so for the sun it would be somewhere around here, but a giant star, a G2 luminosity class three star, might be instead up here. And if we misclassify it, that can make a significant difference in the determination of the distance. So let's look at how this works, how we can use this to determine distances. And as I've said at the beginning, it has nothing to do with parallax, even though we call it spectroscopic parallax, it still has nothing to do with parallax, except for the fact that it is being used to determine distances. What we do is we have to measure two things. We need to get the spectral class of a star and the luminosity of a class of the star. Once we do that, we can just find its position on the HR diagram and use that to determine the luminosity. So where it is located here, once we find a star and determine that it is a certain class and luminosity class, we can then say we know what its luminosity will be. And once we know the luminosity, we can then use the inverse square law to determine the distance to the star. Now, as with other methods, this does need to be calibrated. We need stars of known distance, perhaps through regular parallax, that could be used to calibrate, to determine where the luminosity scales fit in on here, and allows us to calibrate the scale and tell us where these stars fit in. Once we find this for several stars, we can then use this to determine other stars of unknown distance and be able to determine the distances to them just by determining their spectral classification. So this leads us to what we call the cosmic distance ladder, and that is the fact that no distance measurement can work for all stars because they only work over various ranges. So some stars are close enough that we can determine their distances directly through parallax. Some stars are specific types like Cepheids or our Lyrae stars that can have other methods that we can use for the variable stars to determine their distances. If a star is close enough for us to get a good spectrum of it, we can use spectroscopic parallax. But what I want to point out is that these two methods, the variable stars and the spectroscopic parallax methods are both indirect methods. They are not direct ways of getting the distance. They depend on the parallax measurements. So you have to go back to having stars with measured parallax in order to be able to use them, and that's what we mean by calibration. We can use the parallax measurements to calibrate the spectroscopic parallax. We can then use spectroscopic parallax measurements of distance to calibrate variable stars. And we build on this over time. We can build on this as we get stars that are further and further away, and start to use it for galaxies. We use this calibration in order to build and to determine distances that are further away. Now, if we look at some of these examples for the nearby stars, for the relatively close stars that we look at, that we can use trigonometric parallax, we'll work out to about 30,000 light years once the Gaia mission is complete. We'll be able to measure distances out to 30,000 light years. Our Lyrae stars can be seen out to 300,000 light years, 10 times the distance that the Gaia mission will be able to do with trigonometric parallax. The HR diagram and spectroscopic parallax can get four times larger than this, out to 1.2 million light years. And Cepheid variables can get out very far, though some of the brightest Cepheid variables can be seen to 60 million light years away. However, we are still going to need other methods as we get to talk about galaxies. This certainly gets us well outside our galaxy. However, stars like these could not even be seen in the Andromeda galaxy. Our Lyrae and spectroscopic parallax could not even be used in the Andromeda galaxy, which is about 2 to 2 and 1 half million light years away. Cepheid variable stars could and could be used for other galaxies out there. But there are still many galaxies that are hundreds of millions or even billions of light years away. And we are going to need other methods. Now one of the problems here is when we measure something, any measurement that we make has an error associated with it. So if we measure, for example, a star to be 100 light years, there might be an error associated with it of 10%, which is a decent error for determining distances. In many cases, it can be much larger than that. But that would mean that the star would be between 90 and 110 light years away. So we know roughly where it is. But remember, if this is determined by trigonometric parallax, that we are then using that. And we now have an error associated with that that we are using to calibrate to use the Our Lyrae stars, to use the spectroscopic parallax, to use the Cepheid variable stars. And any small errors here will lead to errors in distances determined by these other methods. And we'll continue on because we have to use those methods to calibrate other methods as we go outward. So each errors will build up on the distance ladder because each step depends on the previous step. So we need to get as accurate, and that's why Gaia is so important here, is because it is going to help us nail down those distances using trigonometric parallax out to far further than we possibly could before. So that is going to help us stabilize that first step on the distance ladder, which will hopefully give us better values for these later steps as well. So let's finish this up with our summary. And what we found is, in this case, we've learned that we can use the HR diagram to determine the luminosities. And therefore, we can get distances using just the HR diagram. To get these distances, we need to know the spectral class of the star and the luminosity class of the star. So we can't do it with just one. We can't get just spectral class. We need to know what spectral classification it is. For example, the sun would be a G2, but we also need its luminosity class, which for the sun would be a Roman numeral 5. So that we need both of those, and then that gives us the luminosity, which allows us to get the distance. Then we wanted to look at the cosmic distance ladder itself, and that is a series of steps to determine distances. And one of the problems, because of the way it has to be done, is that each step builds on the previous step. And that means that small errors in determining distances to nearby stars can become very large errors as we head further out into the universe and start determining distances to distant galaxies. So that completes our lecture on determining distances using a spectroscopic parallax. We'll be back again next time for another topic in astronomy. So until then, have a great day, everyone, and I will see you in class.
