Go on, let's try it then. Lift those feet up. The world goes. Break out. Get round. Ah! There you go. Ready? Let's give this one a go. Okay then boys, so for a nice part of a quick sort of dynamic warm-up, we're going to play a bit of the jungle game. So all I want to start with, we're walking through the jungle and we're going to encounter various different things and how will we move and deal with these different things, okay? So first of all, let's start marching through the jungle, let's use our grid. Just marching through the jungle, but then obviously there's loads and loads of trees and stuff on the floor, isn't it? And we've got to watch where we're going. So we've got to do nice big steps over the logs, okay? Making sure we don't fall over, avoiding all the snakes and things like that, they're on the floor. There is. There's always snakes, Remy. Okay? But you encounter your first animal and that animal is going to be a tiger or a tiger then. How do tigers move? How do tigers move? Very slowly. So they're on their tiptoes, aren't they? They're crawling around so they don't scare their prey. So plenty of space boys. You don't have to go right by each other. You can use the whole grid.  And can you be as quiet as you can creeping up on your prey? Good, and you've got past your tiger. But you're going through a load of prickly nettles at the minute, so you don't want to stand on them. So you've got to stay on your toes and you've just got to walk. Walk on the side, walk on your tiptoes, staying away from all these prickly objects. Good. Stuff, good, stuff, good, stuff. You've been walking for days around this jungle boys, days and days and days. So actually you need some food, don't you? So what are you going to do? What lives up trees? Coconuts do. But animals, what lives up trees? Monkeys do, don't they? So what are we going to do? How would monkeys move around the grids? Let's have a look. They would, but they'd be on all fours, wouldn't they? You're right half.  Let's go. Like a gorilla. With a nice big chest, haven't they? They've always got nice big strong chests and they're walking about. Let's go. That's good. That's good Joe, that.  Can you almost be down on all fours like this and can we use your hips to reach up to grab a banana from the tree, bring it back down a few more little steps, grab a banana with the other hand from the tree, a few more little steps and down you come. Good.  We're just jogging around using the whole grid now boys. Just jogging around trying to get out of this jungle.  How are you going to get across all these rivers?   Let's see if we can do this then boys with real good landings. Yeah. Let's have a look Joe. Brilliant. Good. So you're landing on your heels aren't you? Let's have a look Jack. Very good. And now you've got a few little stepping stones in the river, haven't you boys? So what's going to happen now? Exactly we've got to do some one leg work, haven't we? So can we now all around? Can we jump on but we don't want to fall in the river so we've got to stick that landing haven't we? So you're jumping on the other leg. Can you get your balance and stick that landing? Let's see who's got good balance. Let's have a look then. Good. So no wobbles. If you feel your wobbling a little bit boys, then you can stick your bum back a little bit and that will help balance you. Yeah. Okay. I'm relaxed there but also there's one horrible, horrible animal isn't there in the jungle? Great, great big giant spiders. No. Yeah. So into Spider-Man positions. Do we remember this one? No. Good. And walking around so we're really driving those knees high aren't we? Walking like big spiders. What are the spiders? And what do spiders make? What? Webs. How are we going to shoot our webs? Let's go then.  So driving those knees up. Lovely stuff. And so when we do this one, can we stay nice and strong in your core and drive up like that, yeah? We're not too rocky. You're nice and stable.  Good stuff, good stuff. So that is just to do a little bit of a warm up and get you moving.

Just to give a heads-up, we will be talking about police terrorism and police killings in this episode. In the summer of 2020, protest against white supremacy and police terrorism broke out across the country after George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amar al-Arabiri, Sean Reed, and countless of others were killed by the hands of police officers and white supremacists. It's a shame that it took so long for the call to defund and abolish the police to hit mainstream media. Revolutionaries being organized around this. Iyabra, the fight to abolish the police and the movement for black lives didn't just start from these protests. We can't forget about what popped off in Ferguson after Michael Brown was killed by a police officer in 2014. Tempers flare on the streets of Ferguson for a second night of unrest over the death of Michael Brown. Police in riot gear facing off with protesters and a lot of people probably don't know, but there's another case that also inspired the Black Lives Matter movement today. It was the killing in 2009 of a 22 year old black man right here in Oakland, and his name was Oscar Grant. I'm Abbas Muntakeem, and I'm Delincey Parhan, and this is Tales of the Town, a podcast about black Oakland. It was early New Year's Day in 2009. Oscar and his partners took Bart to celebrate New Year's Eve in the city, also known as San Francisco. For those who aren't familiar with what Bart is, it's the equivalent to what the subway is to New York City. It's the Bay Area's train system. And on their way home, Bart pigs, they pulled Oscar and his friends off of the train and onto the Bart platform. So that night, I can remember I was at home for whatever reason, Oscar really became heavy on my spirit. You know, I'm at home just relaxing and just enjoying the evening, or actually it's early morning now. It's after 12 o'clock, you know, it's New Year's Day, first day of the New Year's early morning. And I'm feeling Oscar in my spirit, and I'm not sure why, but the urge to text him was so powerful that I text him, and I text him exactly at 12.40. I'll never forget it. That's Uncle Bobby. He's known today in the town as the people's uncle. Oscar Grant was his nephew. And I said in the text, Uncle, love you. God loves you. God loves your family. He sent the text, you know, and didn't think much of it after that. Of course, an hour and a half later, he was murdered on that Bart platform by Johannes Mezzanine. News of Oscar's murder shook up Oakland. Bart was crowded that night because of New Year's Eve, and many witness Oscar Grant being killed by a white Bart police officer, Johannes Mezzerly. According to Mezzerly's so-called testimony, he apparently thought he was reaching for his taser, but instead pulled out his gun. For Uncle Bobby and other members of Oscar's family, his death will change the course of their lives forever. I can remember collapsing in extreme anger and pain and hurt. My relationship with Oscar, you know, goes back to when he was born. Uncle Bobby says he and Oscar spent a lot of time together. He remembers Oscar at just five years old, attending church with him every Sunday. And in front of sometimes 2,000 people, Oscar, without any fear, would open up the church in prayer. Basically, every Sunday, 15 to 2,000 people in the church, and Oscar would open up the church in prayer. When we talk about five years old, six years old, you know, I'm doing this consistently. Oscar had this infectious smile, you know, if he smiled, boy, you couldn't help but smile because that smile was just so smiley, right? And so I would drive fast and he would smile, and it would make me feel good, right? So I would drive a little faster and he would smile even bigger. He just loved it. He was a chess player, you know. He loved playing chess and he was always determined to be his uncle. We played a many a games. And Uncle Bobby remembers just how much love Oscar's community had for him. People loved him. You know, he was the center of attraction. He had friends from all walks of life. You know, you could see his life on that platform because there was Samoans on the platform. There was Latinos on the platform. There was Black folks on the platform. There was Filipinos on the platform that was all with him and his group. And they all hung out and loved each other and just had a great time. So he was that person that brought people together. At the time, Oscar was killed.  And news going viral through social media wasn't common. But when Karina Vargas pulled out her cell phone on the bar platform and filmed Oscar Grant getting shot in his back with his hands behind his back and later uploaded the recording to YouTube, Uncle Bobby said, this changed everything. You know, because we had always been saying police violence is real. But for the first time, you know, in 21st century, the cell phone videos played center role in what revealed to us just how heinous police violence can be. A video of the killing that was uploaded was averaging 1,000 views an hour. And it quickly hit the news cycles. Two new video surfaced today in the shooting death of a young man New Year's Day at an East Bay bar station by a Bart police officer. Now it noon, the mother of a man shot and killed by a Bart police is speaking out about newly released documents into images in the video recording of Oscar circulated all over the country. And it became one of the first cases of a police killing documented on social media that had national, if not global impact. After the video spread across the Bay Area within hours of the shooting, people took to the streets. One of those people was Pindarvis Harshaugh. Pin is a journalist who was born and raised in the town. And he was 21 at the time when Oscar was killed. Pin was tweeting what was happening in the streets of Oakland in response to Oscar's death, which not even major news outlets were doing at the time. I remember one of the earlier protests and I'm on the street tweeting about it. And I got a tweet from a friend saying, man, thank you for doing this work. Like you're giving me more on the ground information than CNN is. And sure enough, like, look at what CNN was doing there covering it from a helicopter. And so like metaphorically speaking, like I am on the ground, but also physically I am on the ground, like just telling you how it is as a walking human being living in this and also reporting on it. As news was circulating around, Pin, a young black student in his junior year of college, became a direct source for the people. But not even he could predict the magnitude of the moment he was part of. And what stood out about the Oscar Grant situation is how people organized and mobilized around his name. And without that, there's questions as if justice of any sort would have ever been brought forth. One of the people organizing in the town was Derika Blackman, who moved to Oakland from Detroit about 20 years ago. Derika, who started organizing in college, remembers vividly what happened on the ground after Oscar's murder. The first night after the Fruitvale Station rally, people started, you know, bus and windows, all cars setting things on fire. And somebody called me and said, you have to make a statement condemning that kind of action. And I did. And for valid reasons, a lot of people didn't rock with her statement. It was reactionary. And it discredited the righteous rebellions of people on the street. And that hit me really, really hard. But that's what Oakland is like, that it's not about your politics and your posturing. You will get checked by just about anybody in the bay on anything because it's grassroots here. And personally, I respect Derika for acknowledging this fault. Oftentimes you get folks taking action from a place of good intention, but they don't realize they're doing more harm than good. And in Oakland, you're going to have the OGs ready to let you know when you're wrong and you've got to be willing to acknowledge that and move differently. So help you God. So help me God. Congratulations, Mr. President. Nineteen days after Oscar Grant was killed, the U.S. swore in Barack Obama. And with this moment, what came with it was the white liberal facade of a post-racial America. It gave us the illusion of inclusion. And in reality, like presidents before him, Obama continued the neoliberal tradition and imperialist rule.    Oscar dies, Adolf Grimes dies, Robbie Tollen lives. And no one seemed to really have focused in on how these shootings took place because a black man was now sworn in as the president of the United States. And now it's time for a segment on the show we call, let me put you on some. Black folks were manipulated by Barack Obama becoming the president. I know I was when I was younger. Obama's election, it triggered the emotions of black people. And that was done purposely so that the violence that Obama was responsible for could be swept under the rug. Whether it be all the bombs he dropped or the fact that during his tenure as president, he strengthened the U.S. Empire and was adamantly pro police doing things like writing letters and what she openly states, his allegiance with police efforts. Obama represented pseudo progress. It gave us false hope. In reality, our people were being killed by the police all throughout his presidency. According to a study done by the Washington Post from 2015 to 2017, while Obama was still in office, 2,935 people were killed by the police. Of those killings, black people made up about 24% of the deaths. According to a Henry A. Wallace police crime database study, since 2005, at least 140 officers have been arrested on murder and manslaughter charges. And only seven officers have been convicted of murder. Roughly 98% of the killings by police officers between 2013 and 2020 have not resulted in officers being charged with the crime. And even though we had black folks in positions of power during Obama's presidency, the masses of our people failed to get justice. I think about the death of Freddie Gray.  In the result, Freddie Gray was killed by pigs, who the federal government declined to prosecute. And Obama, he went on to call protesters in the streets of Baltimore, thugs. And many people during Trump's presidency, so let's go back to the Obama years. As if the conditions that led to the starting of the Black Lives Matter movement wasn't during Obama's presidency. Under the leadership of a black president, you had the masses of black people in America, making the plea that their lives matter. Just a quick moment. Don't forget that the Tales of the Town album is out now. Make sure you go and stream. All proceeds from the music go towards supporting people's programs. Here's a snippet of Black Jacobins by Fully, Jay Styling and Corrine Streets. Now let's get back to the story. Two years after his death, the movement for Justice Frosker Grant was continuing to build. There were meetings in Oakland and Berkeley and Hayward and all over the Bay Area, strategizing on how to get Justice Frosker's family and the community. Here's Uncle Bobby again. You know, I would go to as many meetings as I possibly can and could because there was some meetings that were talking about tactics that, you know, we as a family didn't, you know, necessarily agree with. And then there was meetings that was talking about tactics that we agreed with, you know, the Bay Area community definitely embraced us as a family. They stood with us, they prayed for us, they cried with us. In 2010, a year after Johannes Mejali shot Oscar Grant, Mejali was tried for second degree murder. The trial was moved to L.A. And according to Uncle Bobby, this was an attempt to keep the Oakland community away from the hearings. But Oakland, as we always do, showed up for our own. Uncle Bobby tells us what it was like inside the courtroom.  But at the same time, when we're going to go out and tell the crowd to leave and so we didn't. So of course, you tried to minus just for that, but you know, you could do what you want. It's not our responsibility to tell the crowd to go home. What's even worse, bruh, is that the trial only got uglier from there. The judge said Oscar was resisting arrest, even though eyewitnesses saw Oscar laying face down with his hands behind his back. Uncle Bobby also recounts the racist things the judge said. And of course, on the very last day of the trial, he looked at us and said, I don't know why you keep trying to make this about black and white. My God, we just gave you a black president. You know, and so these are the statements and experiences that we as a family had to endure while we was in that courtroom dealing with the trial for Oscar's murder. In the end, Johannes Measley was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and only ended up serving 11 months in county jail. It was the first time in California State history that an officer was arrested, charged, convicted and sent to jail. We tied back in with Derricka Blackman, who we heard from earlier. She reflects on the significance of the movement for Oscar Grant. Oscar is just one of many examples that we can all name of black people that were killed by the police for no reason. And I think if anything, he was a symbol of the use of technology to capture that story. Part of what Oscar represents as a symbol was that moment when people even outside of our community were like, nah, like we saw what happened and we got the video to prove it. But for Oscar's family and his community, this wasn't really a victory. It hit Derricka the hardest when she heard Wanda Johnson, Oscar Grant's mother react to her son's death. I think it was her story of him the most that touched me because she wasn't in it for the movement, right? She lost her kid at one point. We were talking about justice and she was like, what is justice? Right? Like it's not going to bring my son. None of this is going to bring my son back. After the verdict was called, protests popped off across the bay area and California. People was hella angry and the chant I am Oscar Grant echoed across Oakland. We all are Oscar Grant. We all are Oscar Grant.  We all are Oscar Grant.  Some years later, his story was commemorated in the feature film Fruitvale Station. Directed by my cousin, an Oakland filmmaker, Ryan Couglou. Shots fired, Fruitvale. We're trying to get home. What is next stop Fruitvale Station?  And at the time, it was the biggest set I'd ever been on in my life. And I'm shooting on my block, like down the street from my grandma's house. Yeah. I'll never forget, like, like, like I'm on my way to work, the A.D. drive. And he's like, are you going to go to base camp first? And I'm like, what's base camp? You know what I'm saying? And he's like, well, that's what we're going to park the cars. So he parked the cars and we get another car. And I'm like, well, I'll be getting in this car. I'm down the street, man. You know what I'm saying?  And they're like, stop putting me in these cars. You feel me? Penn remembers what it was like to watch Fruitvale Station when it opened up in Oakland at the Grand Lake Theater. I ended up getting a seat that's one or two rows behind Oscar Grant's family. There's a couple of scenes in that film, man, that are just just gut wrenching, just in general. But I just, you know, couldn't hold back. Grand Lake Theater has seen me shed a few tears, but that was one of the more powerful experiences. Oscar Grant means so much to Oscar's family, but also to the people of Oakland. I'm so deep in the weeds now of writing about the criminal justice system. Every so often I look up and I'm like, well, how did I even get started on this? And it's literally Oscar Grant. I could see myself in somebody who the system had failed. And when I saw that, I wanted to write about Oscar Grant because I felt like that could be me. Penn says that the murder of Oscar Grant is how we got started in journalism. Little did Penn know when I was in high school, I was reading his coverage of the case. He even put together an album with rapper Young Gully, where Penn narrated what happened to Oscar. But sometime I get the feeling my people are blind to see what they want to see, but we got to take a stand. How can I respect a cop or even shake his hand when they saw against us? It's like calling a snake a friend, giving policemen immunities. What you ready to plan? Shit is crazy. And it just amazed me how we get treated, but I never let the system break up. This album definitely helped shape my mind as a young black high schooler at the time. An Oscar's death, it woke me up to the reality of what it meant to be a black man in the U.S. This is similar to how the culture of music was shifting in the black power movement. As consciousness in the streets was rising due to the killing of Oscar Grant, Young Gully's music shifted to tell the story of the time. And for Penn, it was an opportunity for him to contribute more to the cause. So a lot of people of my generation, that was the first example that we saw of documented evidence that police do brutalize people. Do I think that's true for all people? No. I think there are some people who've experienced it in their personal lives or maybe have experienced other stories. There's so many cases that have happened since then and before then that have catalyzed people. But I think for a large swath of people that Oscar Grant video changed their lives. And it's still mind blowing to me to like listen to a big crit album. And he mentioned Oscar Grant and I'm like, oh, dang, all the way down to an artist from Mississippi. Okay. And for Uncle Bobby, the death of his nephew is what pushed him to organize. And I remembered how blessed I was to have text Oscar before he was murdered. And it was from there that I realized that my anger wasn't to be acted upon in a destructive way, but my anger was to be acted upon in a constructive way about getting justice for Oscar. When the community here in Oakland chanted I am Oscar Grant, it created a movement that is carried on today throughout this nation. And Oscar's family has continued to be a part of this nationwide movement. For example, Uncle Bobby ended up creating an organization called the Love Not Blood campaign, which supports and provides resources to families who have been victims of police killings. As hundreds of people have been killed by the police since Oscar's death, it's clear that the work that Uncle Bobby and others is doing is of necessity. But we must take preventative measures so these police killings stop for good. And this is why we have to get in our communities and organize because we must love, support, and protect each other from white supremacist violence. On the next episode of Tales of the Town, the fight to get police out of Oakland Unified School District. Our ultimate goal is to successfully implement police free schools and then also be a blueprint for everybody in the nation and possibly internationally to do the same thing and to not silo this work to just Oakland, but to really be able to impact our school system and how we educate everywhere. That's next week on Tales of the Town. Tales of the Town is hosted and executive produced by me, Delincy Parham, and Abbas Mutukeen. Our senior producer is Maya Quava, fact-checking done by Danya Suleiman and Bashira Mack. Mixing and sound design is done by Padman C.D. Miller and Lauren Neuson. The theme song was produced by Cheyenne G and Kerry Lin. The artists featured from the Tales of the Town album on this episode are Fully, Jay Stylin, and Karan Streets. Special thanks to Pandarva Tarshaw and Derika Blackman. We also want to give a special thank you to Uncle Bobby and the Oscar Grant family. Be sure to support the Love Not Blood campaign.

When you look at the current status of the Baltimore Ravens roster, you think about what their needs are right here right now. Offensive line, wide receiver, depth at the running back position, then on the defensive side of the ball, even though they signed Calvin Oil, Edge, Pass, Russia, awesome guys could end up stepping up. But there's cornerback, there's backup safety, so they got quite a few needs on the team right now. But one need that hasn't been being talked about enough is the return man position. And of course, last year they had a little mix and match there. At punt return, it was primarily Devon Duvenay that he got hurt. Tyler Wallace stepped in and stepped up. Of course, the shout out to that Rams game. But then at kick return, it would be Devon Duvenay, it would be Justice Hill. They would do a little mix and match in here and there. But we didn't have that guy at that position. And now with the Baltimore Ravens having lost Devon Duvenay, there came a vacancy. And with the new kickoff return rules, they're a little weird and a little different, but they have implemented these new rules. So the kickoff is not going anywhere. It's changing, but it's not going anywhere. It'd be nice to have somebody that specializes as a return man so they could assume that role. And that's why this is so exciting, because the Baltimore Ravens are bringing in just that on a visit, a return man and somebody who is familiar with the area. I would say before we get into that, make sure you subscribe to the channel. I appreciate that y'all have been subscribing to the channel. Y'all been leaving a like on the video. So I appreciate y'all like crazy. Thank you so much team. Keep it clean. Shout out to all the new team. Keep it clean patrons. If you want to become a team, keep it clean patron, you go to patreon.com slash engraving views and shout out to all the team keeping clean channel members. Shout out to just really everybody because the way that all y'all support the channel, I thank you. I really, really do. I hope y'all having a great day. I hope you're having a great week. I hope if this is your Friday, if this is the start to your weekend, I hope that it starts off with a bang. And maybe the Ravens could start off weekend off with a bang and get this signing done. Anyway, the Baltimore Ravens are bringing in somebody who's a familiar face, especially because he's from Baltimore, that being Deontay Hardy, the return man. Shout out to my guy JB smooth. I know my guy JB smooth. He went to school with him. And I'm sure a lot of y'all in the comment section, y'all will know him. A lot of y'all know him personally. And if you don't know him personally, I'm sure you will know of him, especially if you from up that way. But the auntie Hardy, he started his career off with the New Orleans Saints back in 2019. And he spent his first four years with the Saints. And he was again, primarily a return man. Now he would get in on offense here and there. They could use him on some gadget plays and whatnot. He catch a couple passes here and there, but his job was primarily to be a return man. So that's what he would end up doing with the Baltimore Ravens, if he was to be signed with them. Now his last year, he spent last year with the Buffalo Bills, but they obviously, they having a mass exodus of literally everybody. I'm surprised Josh Allen is still on the team, but they having a mass exodus of everybody. So he got on up out of there too. So he made it out before it was too late. But now with the Baltimore Ravens, they are bringing him in on a visit today. And that's fun when you think about it, man. It's fun when you think about the potential of really having a true return man. And this ain't no offense to Devin DuVernay. Devin DuVernay, he was cool. I liked Devin DuVernay more so for kick return than punt return. Now there was some punt return, but he got off on something now. But with Devin DuVernay, and we always said this, Devin DuVernay, that straight line speed, it was there for sure. Shout out to him. But it was the agility, the side to side making people miss. That was not his specialty. Not to say he couldn't do it, but that wasn't his specialty. I always felt like, in my opinion, that for Devin DuVernay, for him to get the kick return or big punt return, then them blocks had to be perfect. But if everything wasn't set up perfectly, because he's not super shifty. And that's fine because not everybody is going to be super shifty. That's okay. But with somebody like a Deontay Hardy, he's somebody that he got the speed. He also low to the ground, but he is very shifty as well.  That'll really make you feel like, oh, yeah, I'm here. This is what I've been dreaming about. Like you look at players like, for the Baltimore Raven specifically, you look at a guy like Tori Smith. Tori Smith went to University of Maryland from the area and then got to play for the Baltimore Ravens.  I think it did for sure. But with Deontay Hardy, this could be something special. When you look at his numbers, let's take a look at him. His punt returns, he averages 10.4 yards per punt return. And this is throughout his entire career. If we go just to last year with the bills, he averaged 12.4 yards per return. And he did get a 96-yard punt return for a touchdown just last year. So that is always good to hear, especially when somebody recently got one.  When you look at those, his career average for kick returns is 25.2 yards per kick return. So that is about one fourth of the field. So as a kick returner, they can make your job a lot easier, especially they get that right return. And then you think about like, man, John Harbaugh, special teams coach, we got to have all special teams got to be on point, right? For sure. Because I remember a couple of weeks ago, I got to admit, I was a little jealous. I was a little jealous of the Pittsburgh Steelers when they signed Cordero Patterson, because I didn't even know he was a free agent. If I don't know he was a free agent, I would have won the Baltimore Ravens and signed him. But when I saw the Steelers, I was like, oh, I didn't even know he was available. I would have loved at the Baltimore Ravens signed Cordero Patterson, especially with the new rules and stuff. And then just to have as a weapon on offense, because he is a return man, but he ain't just a return man. He could do a lot more too. Play a little running back, play a little receiver.  Y'all remember the snow game, the Vikings game, Ravens vs. Vikings, the Marlin Brown game where he caught that pass in the back of the end zone for the wind, against the Vikings. That was when the return man got, they were emphasized heavily in that game. Because remember Jacoby Jones, he got that return. I think Toby Gerhardt, he wasn't a return man. He was a big running bag, but he got that big run. Then Cordero Patterson, he got a big play on us. I think it was a screenplay, I believe. I believe it was a screenplay. But anyway, he been doing his thing in the NFL. I feel like he been doing his thing quietly in the NFL for years, but just continuing to build up his resume and potentially get into the Hall of Fame as a returner. He really could. But anyway, he is a Pittsburgh stealer. But now with Deontay Hardy possibly getting ready to join the Raven. Gotta say possibly because ain't nothing set in stone, but this could be a nice boost. Think about the last time we had a returner that was from Baltimore. That's from the crib up there. That was Cyrus. Cyrus DeVyrus Jones. I remember, and I would call him Cyrus DeVyrus because he was infecting your special teams in a good way for the Baltimore Ravers in a bad way for the opponents. But remember, he got a real nice punt return. I think he got a punt return for a touchdown on her. Was it on the Raiders? I forgot who it was against. But Cyrus Jones was the last one. And I know like he had to feel real good playing at home, man. Because again, that's special, man. Terrence West. Terrence West was another one that got to play at the crib. And I know there's been more. That's the only ones I could think of at the top of my head though. But like I said, it just, it can provide you with extra motivation when you're not only playing at the crib, but you're playing for a team that's been pretty good. And a team that's close. They are so frustratingly close. They just got to fix some stuff here, correct some stuff there, make some adjustments over here. The Baltimore Ravers are close. And I know as frustrating as especially as frustrating as last year was, we all know how close they are. Getting a good return man can help because having a good return man that makes everybody's lives that much easier. Because say for instance, your offense, even if your offense is doing good, but say for instance, your offense having a rough game. Things going a little bit slow. They not scoring as much as you would want them to. They ain't putting up all the points in the world. But your defense is showing now your defense is holding down the opposing offense. They got to punt the ball. Your defense just forced the three and out. So the other team got to punt the ball. Your return man gets back there. He catches it. He don't do a fair catch, but he catches it, starts returning it. Make one guy miss. Okay. Five yards. Make another guy miss. Okay. That five yards turning 13. Make another guy miss. Okay. The five yards that turned in the 13 yards that I'm turning the 22 yards. And oh, the blocks are set. Boom. To the crib. That is one of the best feelings in the world. I mean, again, remember the Tylen Wallace play against the Rams. Oh my goodness. That was crazy. That was crazy. Remember, that was an overtime. And our offense had got the ball in overtime. But guess what? They didn't score. See, that's why having a return man is so essential.  Remember who was a huge part of that? Jacobi Jones. Not just in the Super Bowl, but in the regular season too. Jacobi Jones had been killing it and not saying that that's the only way to get to Super Bowl to have a good return man, but it can certainly help a lot.


Good morning, John. I do not love to talk with the internet about the times when I am discouraged. Am I saying that I ignore my frustrations? I totally don't. They're just not for the content. Like, I want my, like, friends and family to help me out with that stuff. But right now, I'm discouraged by something, and I've learned enough about it that it's, I think, worth talking about. I am discouraged by this. Now, this isn't a monolithic thing. There are multiple reasons why people haven't gotten vaccinated yet. But I have seen a lot of vaccine misinformation, and I am discouraged by it. And I wrote in my script about particular kinds of people who are vaccine misinformants. I'm just gonna leave it out. I don't want to talk about that. Let's just say that there are some folks who want to create division and fear to exploit it for their own personal gain, and leave it at that. My first instinct when I see these arguments is to go one by one and pick them apart. Yes, young people do need to get vaccinated to slow down the spread of the disease and have fewer human bodies in which it can mutate. Yes, the vaccine is effective. Counties with lower vaccination rates have higher hospitalization rates, and COVID rates in nursing homes plummeted after that first round of vaccine. And yes, COVID is a real problem. There were 300,000 more deaths in 2020 than there were in 2019. And that's with all of the precautions that people were taking. But do you know what I see being done with that when I do that? Is just more yelling and confusion and just more and more things I've never heard being thrown at me. Another argument that I haven't heard yet and I do not want to and cannot become a professional vaccine arguer. I'm sorry, but none of it makes much sense in the first place, so it's clear that this isn't based in, like, rational debate. It's based in partisan division and fear. Now, I'm all for increasing the amount of good information out there. I just think that these public-facing arguments never actually do that work. And so sometimes I am tempted instead of arguing to mock. But that's even worse. That's just falling into my worst instinct. All it does is make that division deeper and wider. And it makes it awful hard for people to come back over it. If your goal is to get engagement on social media, that's the way to do it. If your goal is to get more people vaccinated, you are doing the opposite of what you should be doing.  Just, like, throw it out there and put it in people's faces and be like, Look, see, we're excited and enthusiastic about this. Take that. And I look at that and it's kind of getting there, but it's not there. Because as long as it is about winning this war, it will be about perpetuating the war. So all of that seems like it's just making this worse. But I think I found two things that don't. First, just answering good faith questions. When people are confused, when they're conflicted, helping them. It's not about winning, it's about helping. But second, and I think most powerfully and importantly, you know what gets the most support and is most welcoming and creates the least debate? Gratitude. I am so thankful to the many thousands of people who have been working as hard as they ever have in their lives for the past 15 months to get these vaccines ready. I'm grateful to the people who built the testing infrastructure and who did the tests and who administered the vaccines. And the people who through all of this have been caring for the sick. And I'm so grateful to now have some immunity from COVID without having had to have experienced the symptoms of COVID or become potentially a carrier who could make someone more vulnerable than myself sick. I am in awe of the dedication and work that has gone into fighting this virus. And there is no counter-argument to that because that work happened. Those people did that work. And it's also not about a partisan fight, it's just how I feel. Does anybody think that the gratitude I feel toward the tens of thousands of nurses and firefighters who administered COVID shots is about like winning a partisan war? No, it's just an emotion I have. And it's an emotion that makes me feel better about the world. And maybe it's an emotion that might make someone think twice about the fear and the anger that they have instead. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.


Thank you everyone for taking time today to join us for today's webinar, certainly going to give you some tools that would be advantageous in your job search process. Reference solutions, we compile information here in Omaha, Nebraska. So that's where we call home. There are roughly 1100 of us here in Omaha. And gosh, we have been in business now 49 years next year we'll get to celebrate 50 years so we're quite excited about that. Reference solutions is available through libraries across the United States of course you need to have, as you would with the San Francisco public library, their library card number in order to gain access to our database. Once you're here, you'll see the San Francisco public libraries logo right here on our reference solutions database. Before we get started looking at jobs and internships and some of the supporting information that I'll show you, I do want to do just a couple of housekeeping items first. Know that we offer webinars so anyone can attend any of our webinars that we do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And with the learning center we have some great information here that you might choose to utilize. If so you can certainly just open that up and simply scroll down here, we have our contact information all over the place of course, you can always reach out to the library but we're here to support you as well. So what I wanted to point out was the training material here, I'll open that up. And on this left hand column, we have these database overviews. So we're going to focus today on the jobs and internships module, as well as the US business database module. There may be times when you would want to be able to search this universe as well so I'll introduce both of those know that you can use these overviews, and they will literally walk you through how to do a search. So that's always available to you. There is a data dictionary as well here. So if you had a question about a business record and maybe some information that was in that business record. The answers are you'll be able to find your answer to it right there. I'm going to go ahead and go back. I want to show you a couple of things as well on the homepage. So I'm back here on the homepage. I do like to point out that we do have an app. The jobs and internships module is not in the app, but the US business database. You can also populate all of our business records with any job openings that we have learned about through indeed.com. That's who provides us with this insight about employment opportunities. So you could certainly still get to that kind of information in the app by going into the business database. So know that that's available. I like to point out, we have these personal accounts that you can sign up for. So once you've registered, you can save your searches, and that would be true for the majority of the modules, but with the jobs and internships, you're not able to actually save the information in that personal account. But we do give you the ability to email yourself those results that look perhaps most attractive to you. So know you can still in essence save them, just not in our personal account. But once you've registered, you can log in. And if you've maybe created a list of businesses that you would like to go back to. You could have saved that list and then got back to that listing. What we do is we save the steps that you took to build that list. So if there are businesses in that same industry type that you were interested in, you would see new records as they're added. We're pushing out the updates to this information. We do Thursday into Friday morning, so 52 times a year this is going through an update, whereas with the jobs and internships, we're getting these feeds in some cases, multiple times during the day. At least once a day this will always be updated but you I've seen where I've done these presentations in the morning and then again in the afternoon and I find more listings. being done daily and in some cases multiple times a day. So let's go ahead and start with the jobs and internships. Think of it this way with the jobs and internships. You're going to be able to go in and search by job titles with the US business information, which is going to provide you with insight about who that manager owner of that business might be how big that business is business is based on number of employees or sales that line or lines of business that that business might be in, you know, think about Walmart. Their primary line of business is a department store but they have so many departments that we track all those other departments as well. So we do that with businesses, all the time. So a business maybe have, maybe they're a restaurant is their primary line of business but they also have some products that they sell to the side. Think about the cracker barrel, for example, when you first walk in, you walk into this area in cracker barrel where they have t shirts and in other clothing items and candy and all kinds of other stuff. So their primary line of business is that of a restaurant, but they also have that secondary line of business. That provides you with access to that job description and the ability to apply for that job, as well as that information about the company doing the hiring. I'll go ahead and launch the jobs and internships. Once I do so I'm always going to come to what we refer to as our quick search page, and I don't like to come here without scrolling down first and I, I know that there are a number of library sponsored events in regards to various types of job resources. We also make various job resources available here so know that you can always get to some of that additional kinds of insight as well. So with quick search, there are some parameters that the system is set up in this in this particular phase. So I can do a job title search I could search for a keyword maybe maybe training is something that I'm interested in. And so I want to use that as my keyword. I can even look using a company name if I'd like to. Let's do this one of the one of the more common questions that I hear from patrons when they're looking at utilizing the jobs and internships the first times. How about if I wanted to find a job say for an administrative assistant, could I go out and find that. Absolutely. All you have to do is come in here and type in that administrative assistant that the system is already trying to assume what it is that you're looking for. So if it's administrative assistant you can simply click on that. And then it's a matter of what city, state or zip code do you want to look in. I would, let's just put in San Francisco. Now I can view the results as it relates to any listings that are out there for administrative assistant types of positions and the system whenever you're doing this from the quick search page. I'm always going to do a 25 mile radius. So it defaults to that 25 mile radius around San Francisco, and it will only deliver results that we have received from indeed calm in the last seven days. So I'll view those results let's see how many of these 291 results have come in in the last seven days as it relates to administrative assistance types of positions. And you can see on this left hand column. These are all the job titles that are available. That have been listed through indeed calm here are my company records. So where we've made an exact match against that name and address information that we've received. We give you the ability to hyperlink right into the US business database to see that record. So if, if I'm looking at this and I, I see this office administrator. Hmm, maybe that's interesting. Let's check it out. I can open that up. Here's that company that's doing that hiring I can, I can use the apply now if I would like to submit my resume. If you already have an indeed login, you can use that through us. In this case they are giving an hourly salary, they've indicated that that's a full time job. Remember when I was going from the quick search. I didn't have these opportunities to designate. It was looking at all opportunities that had something to do with that administrative assistance type of position. Those qualifications that job description, etc, you know all the, all the, all the benefits, etc, that you would expect to see. So all of that is available there. Note that does say work remotely that that's not an option. So I've got that if that's all I need. And now I'd like to learn a little bit about the company. I don't know who this G sports physical therapy is. I can close that or I could leave it open and just go to this tab if I'd like, then it's just a matter of going to that record. If I can click on that record, it then opens up and it's saying okay, so we found two addresses and notice a PO box. So this might have been their initial business filing information. When they filed their business, that may have been the information they gave, or they just want all their mail going to that address. So let's start with the first record that comes up here to see if you find that particular listing. I can click on that scroll down. There's that office administrator. These, this was just listed 20 hours ago. Notice they have a couple. This information, I've got the address information for this company, their website and that social link that they choose to use. If this company were part of a larger network of companies, maybe there was a subsidiary that managed the G sports. That information would be listed right down here in terms of the corporate structure and I'll show you what that looks like. We've got those job openings. There's the industry profile. This coding system, SIC that stands for standard industrial classification code. So their primary is under clinics here. And they do physical therapists right they have physical therapists that worked in that office. And I can go down if there's a business profile that information is captured here. We generally don't have it on those smaller businesses. We will certainly on those larger or chain types of businesses. I do have for your assistance. If this would be helpful, we have the latitude and longitude embedded in the background. So where this business is physically located, you could always print this off as it notes here you could change it up to that satellite view you could use the street view.  So know that that map is will always give you a map presence on each and every one of our records. Now here are those business demographics. So we updated them just last month. We call these businesses annually, and we asked them how many employees do you have. They told us that they had 10 at this location. Now, what we don't distinguish is how many of them might be full time versus part time. We just need that total number, because when it's a private company. We model this information based on the kind of business that they're in. How long they've been in business, where they're physically in business at there are some, some of that has to go into the, the model for this sales volume because obviously there are, there are, depending on where you're at in the United States there's going to be from payroll costs that are going to be different to power and lights that's going to be different, etc. So we take all of that into account, and then model this number, and we can look at their peers as well, right. So we've captured the number of employees and then that goes into making that model. We look at these businesses that choose not to respond to that question. So about 72% will give us an exact number. Those that don't, we look at their peers in that particular community or in that area. Sometimes peers goes out quite a ways because there aren't many of them. So even here in Omaha, we have a company that produces manufacturers and sells beauty products.  So we have to go out a ways to find those peers. And if we don't get an answer to that question related to the number of employees will assign a range based on their peers what we're seeing for an average with their peers so it might be 10 to 19, or 20 to 49, etc. So if you see an exact number know we got that in our phone call, you see a range we applied that we have some other additional information here. Some operations management insight company news. This will either be about the company itself and this is a small company so chances are there aren't. There isn't a lot of news about that particular company, or about the industry. This is through Bing, you can always feel free to load that. If this were a publicly traded company and this were a branch, we would not put stock data on a publicly traded branch. It could be subsidiary or the ultimate parent, but not on that branch. Have some business expenditures, followed by some historical information, including these records. So we have, we do track name changes address changes, etc. Back in time, let's say you wanted to look at this company from a 40 from a 2014 standpoint you could open that record up, and then the system will actually take you right into our US historical business information. Notice I have this slide. So, for this back you can go is 11 if I wanted to go all the way back to 11. You simply grab this slide and go back. Notice you have that as well available to you. You can always get back to your original record. There it is. Then I have three other sections. So, if, if the business had taken out alone and put something up, maybe machinery or equipment up as a as collateral, that would be captured in that UCC filing. So there were a couple that were done here. If there were more than just a couple it would say more down here. I have the nearby businesses, because again I have that latitude and longitude in the background. So I know who's next to whom. And then of course, a list of competitors based on that primary SIC code.  Maybe I wanted to check out some of these places as well for for opportunities, I could always do that. Maybe I want to look at this very first one, I could open up that record, and it just takes a second to scroll down to look to see if there's any opportunities there. So that's the beauty of being able to, to get into through the hyperlink, because I can always get to this US business database information so quickly. And here I am back at that original record. It always closes this section up again so if I wanted to look at that, maybe the next one, I could go to that, and look at that record. So know you can do that as much as you need to. That is always available to you, and I can get back to the top of that record, just by selecting that. If when I come into a record, I would like to maybe I want to get right to the management directory. I could click on that it takes me right to that management directory. So again, just depending on what you need to do. That's the information you want right. That's, that's, that's what this entire databases about is about being able to generate information that's, that's useful that's, that's productive that's valuable. Oh, that's what you can do when searching for an opportunity. And we did all of this by simply going and searching. I'll cancel this because I didn't need to go to these other two records. We did all of that by just opening up this record this hyperlink. And I got here by simply putting in administrative assistant in the keyword search option in San Francisco, the real search capability, or additional search capability comes in advanced search, because here I don't have the ability to say, Hey, I only want to get full time jobs, or I need a salary of acts. I can do that when I go to advanced search. And here's my advanced search parameters. So I could search with certain words, maybe an exact phrase sales training. And certainly look at a specific company, maybe I heard that there was a company doing some hiring job type. If I need full time I can designate that notice it's full time all the way through temporary. So it just depends on what you might need, even internships if if you have friends or family members that are are looking for internships for the summer. And have them start searching right here. Estimated salary. Great thing to be able to do. But no, we looked at that last record and that was an hourly salary. The system doesn't calculate what that hourly would amount to in terms of dollars and cents. I always encourage people, if you're going to use a salary, be sure and do it search both ways, do one with salary, it'll give you a smaller pool of records, because not as many records actually have that salary information listed, and then do it once without you'll have a larger pool. And but obviously it won't be defined by that salary. So location, always defaults to that 25 miles as I mentioned, it could be within a mile, or 100 miles. So let's just do 10 miles, and we'll do it around San Francisco. Instead of the default is the seven days. Notice it could be anytime so quite old right. Let's just do the last three days. Now this is one that I get a lot of calls about. And that is work from home. So yes, you can find those opportunities that would be work from home. I've noticed having done this for some time now especially during this pandemic that work from home. I mean work from home now, but eventually they're going to expect people to come back into the office. So that would be something that you would want to confirm with that potential employer. So if I look at work from home opportunities that are full time within a 10 mile radius of saying Fran, within the last three days, I have a total number of 192. So again, just like we saw when we did the quick search and looking for those administrative assistance. I can simply scroll through. Now, notice on this page, fewer, fewer linkage that we have my cozy meal we have that hyperlink MKD group we have that hyperlink, but I don't have it here. Other businesses British swimming school I wonder if that's different than my, my American swimming I learned from my sisters they threw me in and if I didn't drown I learned to swim. So the, when we don't have that link. That doesn't mean that you can't jot this the name of this business down, just write that down, and I'll show you how you could do a search for maybe several of these companies if you'd like by name. So just because we weren't able to make a match to this call center doesn't mean we don't have a record for this company. So, certainly, you can go through that information as it relates to any of these job listings. One that kind of caught my eye was this key account manager. So, I wonder if advent tech is a key manufacturer item. That's just the title they call for their account managers. So I can open that up and learn a little bit more about this right. So it is a full time job, working remotely. Obviously that job description. And it does indicate remote position in Northern California so not certain what that definition really means. I can say so in here. But as you can see it's got those responsibilities, qualifications, etc. No mention of salary listed here. So again, similar to what I was talking about before. If that's all I need or maybe I want to apply now I could certainly do so. If I wanted to learn more about this company, I could certainly select that information. And now it's giving me two listings, again a PO box and a physical address. So I could select might as well start with the first one right, and you might have some cases where you see a half a dozen or I've even seen a dozen different locations around the community might as well start with the first one and work your way through. Let's take this out. The other record that we saw was a verified record. This is unverified. So, to provide you with the insight to that definition businesses from their inception start off as unverified at least by us right. These phone calls these businesses annually, and we asked them those questions about number of employees etc. If we're not able to reach a business and we will try reaching them for a total number of attempts of a dozen throughout the course of two years. If we're not able to reach them, and we don't see any information online perhaps about them closing. We will move that into that unverified. We're uncertain if this business is still open at this address. But now there's that key account managers position. I can go through. I can go through this record. The last time that we spoke to them was August of 2013. So maybe when we made that last contact with them. They said something along the lines of, please don't call us anymore. If we don't require that of us, we stop at that point, and that business record will eventually become unverified because they've asked us not to call them anymore. When we spoke to them the last time in August of 13, they didn't even answer that question about how many employees they had. We looked at this SIC code, and their peers in the area and applied this range of one to four. That's how we came up with this location information as it relates to the sales volume. So it doesn't mean that it's a bad record doesn't mean that it's a bad company. We are not able to continue updating that for some reason, either a they're not answering their phones whenever we call. And by the way, our researchers will call Monday through Friday from 7am to 9pm Central Standard Time, and again on Saturday from 8 to 5. So we change up time of day, day of week, in order to try and get these business records verified. For some reason, we weren't able to have that happen with this company. Does it mean it's a bad company? Simply means we've not been able to verify that. Let's pretend for a moment that you did apply for this position and found out that they're actually at a different address, and we'll say even a different phone number. So you can tell us about that and we'll try to reach them again to get information verified again. And the way you can tell us about any of our records that would need some type of update is select this data feedback. It's much like crowdsourcing. And as it notes here, it's going to be sent into these researchers who are going to go based on whatever checkmarks you may have put in these boxes. And if there's not a box for it, but rather something that would need to be free formed, you could do that as well. Let's say that we're about the address. Let's say that their address is now 1313 Mockingbird Lane. That's a reference to a sitcom if anybody knows the answer to that address. We could change that. We could change that phone number. Maybe the phone number needs to change. We could add whatever that is. Then you simply fill this information out, submit this to us, and we'll go about trying to reach that business to confirm that new information. And we'll send you a confirmation of completion within seven to 10 business days. So just know that any of our records can be updated by you, the public that live in that community. I can always get back to my original record and those details. So know that that is certainly something that can still be useful just because we weren't able to verify it doesn't mean that it's not a legitimate company.  If some of these were records and notice I have eight pages worth. If some of these were records that I wanted to email myself. Let's imagine that I wanted this one, and I wanted this and I wanted this and this, and this one. I'm going to have a hand for five. So I can do six at a time. Let's say that that was the sixth one. At this point, I can simply come down here and email this information to myself. So select that email option. It will always come up with this insight. And let me provide you while we're doing this email address if anyone needed to reach out to me, certainly feel free to do so it's bill. Carlson at data hyphen actual dot com. You can always reach out to me. I can add my email address. I can add my email address which it just did. And then I can send that email notes that that was successfully sent. Let me pull that across for you. It just came into my email box just one moment. And there it is better double click that. And there they are. So you can email yourself six results at a time. So I could go back into that same listing and get six more business or six more listings about job openings in my area and send those to myself. I get the only limit is six at a time. So feel free to do that as much as you need to. That is certainly something that you can do with the database. So I'm back here at my list. And we got there simply by putting in that work from home full time within 10 miles of San Francisco, and I did change that up to three days. You can certainly use this to find those kinds of job opportunities. Now, if you want to look at businesses by industry type. That's where I would suggest that you could go into because I can't put business type here. I can go to reference solutions that's my home key. Select it once brings me right back here. Then I could go into the US business database and start my search. Again, you'll come to that quick search page. Great for finding one company. Remember, if you had written down a company by name, you could put that company name there. In San Francisco or whatever community might want to use, and then search for just that one record. Most people want to be able to do a little bit more in terms of using the available filters. So when you go to advanced search, in this case, you'll get this listing on the left hand column of all these different filter selects that you could use. You can include or even exclude certain types of information just depending on how you want to do it. Maybe you're going to look in your city, but you want to omit a couple of zip codes. Bingo, you could do that just depends on how you want to frame your search. Let's do this. Company name. If you've written down multiple listings, you can open up company name here, and this is where you can put in multiple companies. So if IBM were one of those companies, I could add that to my list. If Delta were another one of those companies, I could add that to the list. If Starbucks were one of those companies, I could add that to the list. And then it's just a matter of selecting whatever geography I want, and you'll get those listings for those companies. Otherwise, we will always give you company name. We will always give you this executive information as well. But maybe, maybe you need or want to use this as a filter. Maybe you'd like to find business records that have an HR contact. So you could go with human resources or human resources executive. You can do one or both. In some cases you might get both. In other cases, one or the other, but you could use that as a filter. And that way you won't get any of those records that didn't have that contact. I certainly do that. Couldn't do that with Indeed.com. Could certainly use any of those as filters. Keyword is generally the way that people will do their searches, simply because most people don't know SIC codes, or for that matter the NAICS codes. When you select the opportunity to do the SIC code, it always defaults to the SIC code, either all inclusive or primary. Like if we were looking at Walmart, and we said primary only, it would pull up just the department store. If I looked at all, it would show me all the different departments. So automotive and home electronics and the pharmacy, et cetera, it would list all of them. But most people simply do a keyword search as it notes here, like with restaurants. If that was what you were interested in for finding job opportunities, you would just include restaurants. Maybe you want to look at hospitals. You could look at hospitals. Maybe you wanted to look at construction. You could look at construction. Maybe you wanted to look at manufacturing. You could look at manufacturing. It's any type of industry. So before I show you this example, let's go to this major industry group. It is based on the SIC codes, but it's really pretty self-explanatory. So it gives you when, when the SIC codes were usually in use by Uncle Sam, they always started off with a two-digit number, and then followed by a four-digit number, and that was as granular as it would get. We actually added two additional digits to that to make it a six-digit at minimum. So let's look under construction for a moment. If I click this plus symbol, it will give me the definition for each of these codes, each of these three codes. Bingo. There's my 15, 16, and 17 and the definitions for each. So if I were interested in finding general contractors, maybe that's my skill set. I can select that plus symbol, or I could just go with everything, everything that's under 15. But if I wanted to be more specific, I could click on that plus symbol. It opens up that four digit. So this was as granular under 15 as it got with Uncle Sam. We added two additional to make it this much more granular. So I helped a gentleman just the other day. We use this, but here's where we went with him. We went back here, and it was under, maybe it was back this way. Oh, it was under special trades. So we went here, and he wanted his training, his skill set that he would really like to have that be the focus of his employment was about working with Fine, Tile, and Marble. So he wanted everything under this designation. So look at what happens when I open up this four digit. So it takes you and gives you access to all the businesses that any of these would be under. So he wanted that entire universe. And then for him, we just put in the county that he wanted to look at, and he got a listing of those business. So if that's, if that was going to be my focus, bingo, I could do that. Let's just for the heck of it. Let's just do your county. So I'll open up my county search. That's obviously a little bigger. And San Francisco, and I'm going to update my count. So this is my total number of verified records, unverified as a huge universe because some of those businesses in there may well be closed. Remember, there's no place that businesses necessarily report closure. So some of those businesses that we may not have gotten hold of, we may not have gotten hold of them because they're really closed. We just don't know it yet. So this is my total universe of verified records. Looking across your county as it relates to these specific SIC codes, there are 42 companies. Now, I don't know if any of those 42 have job openings, but I can quickly determine that by simply, and maybe I'm going to filter out some of these like this is a custom. I don't know if this is a custom tile store, or if they do custom tile, right? I could open that up real quick and see if they had any job openings. I could even go to their website if I'd like to get some more insight. So it says that there are tile, chromatic contractors and dealers. So they probably sell. Well, they could do both. I can always get back to my original list and then I can go on right to the next one and quickly identify if there's any job opportunities. So you get the idea. It doesn't take you but a second. And by the way, I would get rid of these check marks as well. It doesn't take but a second to identify those if there's a job opening or not. The other thing that I would do, and I'll just go back here, if you see those, you see these executives by name here. If this would be important to you, you could come on here to this corporate tree structure, and I'll talk about this in a moment, but you could change this to the title of those people that are listed. And maybe you want to look at only those companies where there's an owner present. You could do that. So know that you could use that as an additional filter, if that would be helpful for you. Once you've reached this point, this, this phase of the database corporate structure, let's talk about that for a second. So here's my corporate tree, wherever you see this kind of linkage. There's a corporate structure involved here. Corporate one, they're, they're, they're a, they're a pretty sizable company. So the up arrow will take you only to one record and that will either be the subsidiary that's responsible for managing all those branches, or it will take you to the ultimate parent, because that is all there is there isn't a this will show you their entire organizational chart. So I'll select that one. It'll open up this notice they're part of this CC a global partners, Inc. out of Earth City, Missouri, I am not certain where that's at and I used to live in Missouri I've never heard of Earth City. They have a total of 13 subsidiaries and some almost 1300 branches across the United States. There's a legend that runs across the top here so I can quickly identify that this is a private company doing very well. And one is one of the companies that's under their umbrella, along with all these others. If I wanted to see these other subsidiaries, I can simply collapse this one. And there they are. There's a variety of different types of companies under there. I would definitely wherever you see this corporate structure. And let me go back to this. This is so important. So I got to all of that information by selecting this org chart. If I open up this record. I mentioned this before, I can also get to that corporate tree information here. So, when if this were a company that you were interested in working for you would definitely want to have a pretty good understanding of their structure so that you could use this information in your interview setting if you have so if you have had an opportunity to go into such an interview. This is great insight to have and it points out the fact that you've done your homework, as it relates to understanding this company's structure. So no, you will always have that linkage, even when you're in the jobs and internships module, and you have come into a business database because there was a hyperlink. This information will always be there if there's corporate structure. So no, you can get to all of that kind of insight. Quite easily. Any questions regarding either the jobs module itself, or the US business database module. Yes, thank you. That was great. So far I see two questions in the chat. The first question is for someone who's looking for remote jobs so is there a way. I think you've covered some of it but can you recap how someone who's only interested in looking for jobs where they can work from home. Right. Yes. So that would always be done, because that's not an industry right working from home is not an industry yet yet. And with that said, in the jobs and internships, and I can do that right here from the quick search if I'd like to remember it's always going to do a 25 mile radius around whatever information I put in here. Or if I wanted to add, you know, maybe I want to make certain that they're only full time jobs that I'll see, I can then do my work from home option here and get that kind of insight. I can change this up maybe you live outside of town a ways. I can change this up. I can do it from within five miles to 100 miles just depends on what makes sense for me. And then it's just whatever you've chosen for that location, and whatever city or zip code that you would want to use, and the default here in terms of the age of that job could be anytime right. I, I, I remember doing a program like this down in Daytona Beach, Florida. And we looked at the anytime segment. And there was a position for NASA for down at the Kennedy Space Center so anytime literally could be several years depends on how long they put that job listing out there for, but I could make it since yesterday. So these are brand new jobs. Let's look just for the heck of it work from home within 10 miles since yesterday and we'll just have a total since yesterday. Let's actually make this smaller so we'll do it within five months. So what do I have still 138 since yesterday. So, again, you can get to this information really quite easily. And if we weren't able to make that hyperlink right down sage beans, if this were one that you wanted to says it's 100% remote. So if this were one that you really wanted to pursue, you could always look at the job listing here. There they've got a salary listed we didn't put in a salary but they've got a salary listed there. It is full time. They're looking at three people for this particular role. There's those job qualifications and that job description. So you've got a wealth of information that you're going to get through indeed. And then you could always write the name of that business down and search for that record there in San Francisco in the jobs, or excuse me in the US business database. Thanks great question. Other, you mentioned that there were two. Yes, there's another thank you for answering that though that was very clear and super helpful. So next question, someone is wondering about the coverage of job openings that data axle has so she's wondering. So, the current and past job openings. What is the. Well, let me just ask the question as you posted how much percentage coverage of job openings current and past of the range of industries across the US that data axle has. We have a few industries in which data axle is strong. Oh, great question. So, our, our approach you may have heard of this other company called done and Brad Street right they've been around for eons. Their, their admission into their database comes from the fact that people will join because they need a done's number, a done and Brad Street number in order to work with government entities. The, excuse me I just received a reminder and I need to default out of that or I'm going to lose everybody. So done and Brad Street will will garter that or get that information from those people who, who either use their credit services, or are going to need a done's number so they'll capture their information that way. So, our approach has always been about get as many businesses as possible. So, we have phone books sent from all over the country, and we still have it done today. Only goodness sakes their digital these days. So, that's kind of the first trigger but then we have all these other relationships that we going to garner information from, like our license agreement with the United States postal services, national change of address. Our business has moved. Since we last updated them will get that new update to that address information, and then that will prompt us to make a phone call to that business to then learn about, or to verify that new address information. So, our whole process has always been trying to have as many businesses by type, as you can potentially have. Now, that said, we are not, we don't have a lot of true. Businesses that don't carry any kinds of products they don't have a particular service that they manage. They, they, they may, they may provide information. They may not have as many of those businesses. I'll give you an example I have a niece who technically she has like a home base business. She's in Chicago. She has six employees. She has some great. Well I'm sure the pandemic has had a negative impact for her, but she had some terrific relationships with people in the on the North Shore of Chicago that would use her services. We did everything from planning parties to catering events to what house sitting, maybe they, maybe the parents are busy and can't get away from the office. They take their children to doctors appointments you know obviously not serious maybe a dental appointment, but she's not in the database. She's got a great list of clients, her automobile that she gets to the appointments in, and this this, this list of those clients but she couldn't walk into a bank and get alone against these names right. She doesn't have anything tangible, other than the service that she provides to those people. She is not listed in our database. She's basically a personal assistant. We'll try and capture as many businesses as possible but not every business will necessarily be in our database or anybody else's database for that matter. We're constantly looking to add and in update. Other questions. I don't see any other questions in the chat. We are, you bet. We are at the top of the hour. No other questions. I would suggest if you're home or or maybe somewhere else but you would have some time to get into the database to do some searches that you should do that and and just get familiar with both the US jobs and internship search and availability, especially from the advanced search category, or you can always go into the US business database and search that as well by type of of industry. Thank you so much Bill that was excellent again and I really appreciate your time and expertise. You'll be back on July 13 with us to talk more about business research but I want to thank you again for an excellent presentation and again we'll be sending the recording for this later today. Excellent. Thank you so much for making this available. This time available today and thank you everyone for attending. I look forward to assisting you in any way I can and and enjoy your experience with the database it's it's it's phenomenal information. Thank you again. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you for joining us.
